The sun is shining brightly.

Qin Gengyun walked out of Danfu Tower in the midday sunshine.

At this moment, his mood was somewhat complicated, happy, but also a little regretful.

He had just declined a "large order" for fifty high-quality blood-clotting pills.

First, he was not completely sure that he could refine so many blood-clotting pills within seven days.

More importantly, Qin Gengyun felt that things were going too smoothly.

Ten days ago, he was still a low-level casual cultivator with less than twenty spirit stones in his net worth, but today he has a "huge sum" of seven hundred spirit stones in his pocket.

This is like a pauper who suddenly wins the lottery. He becomes dissolute and indulges in luxury, squandering all his money in a short period of time.

It is better to keep the money safely and keep moving forward step by step.

Make your abilities match the sudden wealth you gain, so that you can enjoy long-term wealth and peace, and then naturally reach your own high position.

Everyone knows that they should choose the second option, but most people choose the former, lose their original intentions, and quickly squander their money.

Qin Gengyun doesn't want to be such a person.

Now his cultivation level and alchemist realm are far from enough. The fact that he was able to earn 700 spirit stones was due to various coincidences, not his own strength.

If he takes these fifty blood-clotting pills, he can quickly earn another four hundred spirit stones.

That would be too conspicuous.

A tree that stands out in the forest will be destroyed by the wind.

So, Qin Gengyun chose to refuse.

If you take too big a step, you may easily get hurt. The best way is to develop slowly.

Holding tightly the spirit crystal containing seven hundred spirit stones, he returned to the narrow rain alley and quickly entered the house.

After closing the door, Qin Gengyun finally breathed a sigh of relief and walked into the kitchen, only to see Qiu Zhihe cooking porridge.

She was wearing a long black skirt with floral patterns today. The long skirt dragged on the ground, wrapping her petite figure. Looking from behind, below her slender waist were two protruding round petals.

She has both the charm of a young girl and the sexiness of a young woman.

Hearing the voice, Qiu Zhihe turned around. Qin Gengyun coughed, and moved his eyes from below to her face, and said in an excited voice:

"Fellow Daoist Qiu, we are rich now!"

Qiu Zhihe didn't react much and turned back to continue cooking porridge.

Soon the porridge was cooked, and the bronze stove had been moved back to the kitchen by Qiu Zhihe, so the two of them ate in the outer room.

Qin Gengyun took out the spirit crystal that contained 700 spirit stones, not without pride:

"Fellow Daoist Qiu, this is the spiritual crystal I just bought at Dan Fu Building. How about we deposit all our money into this spiritual crystal from now on?"

Qiu Zhihe nodded and continued to drink her porridge with her head down.

Qin Gengyun then told the story of his refusal of fifty blood coagulation pills and asked:

"Fellow Daoist Qiu, do you think what I did was right?"

Qiu Zhihe finished the porridge in her bowl and said calmly:

"It's just fifty first-grade pills, what's the fuss?"

"Well……"

Qin Gengyun laughed: "Fellow Daoist Qiu is right. Instead of worrying about these things, it is better to concentrate on improving your alchemy skills!"

He said excitedly: "Fellow Daoist Qiu, I plan to try to refine the blood coagulation pill tomorrow to see if I can refine an elixir. By the way, refining the blood coagulation pill requires blood coagulation grass and vitality fruit. I will buy some vitality fruit tomorrow. As for the blood coagulation grass..."

Before he finished speaking, Qiu Zhihe said bluntly:

"I'll give it to you tomorrow."

Qin Gengyun was overjoyed: "Thank you, Fellow Daoist Qiu."

When refining blood-clotting pills, the most expensive material is the blood-clotting grass, which costs two spirit stones for one plant.

This is secondary. The main reason is that the spiritual herbs cultivated by Qiu Zhihe are of higher quality than ordinary ones, and the pills refined from them can be sold at a better price.

As long as you are careful and sell it in small batches at multiple times, it won't attract attention.

After the two finished their meal, Qin Gengyun washed the dishes as usual, while Qiu Zhihe sat silently at the table with her head lowered, as if she was worried about something.

"Fellow Daoist Qiu, what's wrong with you?"

"nothing."

Qiu Zhihe said lightly, stood up and walked to the bed.

In her opinion, Qin Gengyun's refusal to take fifty blood-clotting pills was simply cowardice.

But on the other hand, I have changed my appearance and am hiding in this small town, trying to survive. What qualifications do I have to laugh at Qin Gengyun?

Xia Qinglian, you are no longer the Holy Maiden of the Demon Sect, but a weak wife newly married by a casual cultivator.

Giving orders and being overbearing are a thing of the past.

Now, you have to be as cautious as Qin Gengyun. You should stop being competitive and you should stop trying to be the leader in everything.

Before your cultivation is fully restored, you must disguise yourself perfectly and be like other married female cultivators, gentle, virtuous, well-behaved and sensible.

"Fellow Daoist Qiu, what's wrong with you?"

Qin Gengyun's voice came from behind. Qiu Zhihe turned around and forced a "gentle" smile:

"Fellow Daoist Qin, let's take a break."

Qin Gengyun nodded, and they both sat down on the edge of the bed.

Qiu Zhihe placed her hands gracefully on her knees, with her eyes lowered, like a shy little girl.

She heard from Chen Fang next door that in a couple's relationship, it is usually the husband who takes the initiative and the wife only needs to cooperate gently.

Therefore, Qiu Zhihe decided to let Qin Gengyun take the initiative in the future, as this was what a normal couple should do.

It won't attract attention.

After waiting for a while, Qin Gengyun did not move. Qiu Zhihe turned her head to look at him:

"Fellow Daoist Qin, it's time to go to bed."

Qin Gengyun quickly agreed, Qiu Zhihe extinguished the candle, and they both took off their coats and pulled up the quilts.

Qiu Zhihe lay down with her back to Qin Gengyun, waiting for him to take the initiative.

Behind her, Qin Gengyun was also lying with his back to her, feeling nervous and excited.

He knew that Qiu Zhihe was about to pounce on him.

All he had to do was cooperate gently.

After a moment, Qiu Zhihe turned around and asked coldly:

"Fellow Daoist Qin, it's time to go to bed."

Qin Gengyun looked at her in confusion: "Aren't we sleeping?"

I wondered what happened to Fellow Daoist Qiu today?

Why not start yet?

Qiu Zhihe looked at his confused expression, and the dignity and gentleness that she had accumulated with great difficulty were instantly gone.

With such efficiency, when will I be able to recover my cultivation?

Thinking of this, she pounced on him.

"Fellow Daoist Qiu, you finally...ah~~"

…

After thirty-five breaths.

The two had just finished their work when they heard Meng Yu's howling and cursing from outside the house:

"That thief! If she were a woman, she would be a prostitute forever! If she were a man, he would be decapitated and become a eunuch!"

Qin Gengyun frowned: "Fellow Daoist Meng must be drunk again."

But Qiu Zhihe turned over again, her eyes cold, Qin Gengyun was puzzled:

"Fellow Daoist Qiu, what's wrong with you? Huh?!"

…

Qin Gengyun panted and said, "Fellow Daoist Qiu, wait a minute, I have something to discuss with you."

Qiu Zhihe looked at him, her bright almond eyes in the darkness still cold.

Qin Gengyun continued, "Daoyou Mo has helped me a lot on weekdays. This time when I went to Danfu Tower to sell Qingfeng Powder, it was also thanks to her that she helped me raise the price. I want to express my gratitude. Daoyou Qiu, what do you think I should give you?"

“…”

Tonight is longer than usual.

Qin Gengyun, extremely tired, fell into a deep sleep.

Qiu Zhihe's figure flashed and she was already standing at the door.

The next moment, the petite figure slowly became taller and plump.

A moment later, a red shadow flashed in the narrow rain alley.
