【Name: Qin Gengyun】

【Lifespan: 35/40】

[Cultivation: Qi training level 2, 98/100]

[Skills: Alchemist Apprentice, 93/100]

[Spiritual roots: Fire-type lower-grade spiritual roots (12/100), Ice-type lower-grade spiritual roots (17/100)]

The next day, Qin Gengyun opened his eyes, touched his sore abdomen, and called up his attribute panel.

The 6 training points I gained last night were all added to my cultivation. Now I am only two points away from reaching the third level of Qi training.

For more than two years after the time travel, Qin Gengyun continued to practice, but due to the poison in his body, his practice was difficult to improve. Unexpectedly, after the wedding night, his practice, which had been stagnant for a long time, finally improved again.

After entering the third level of Qi training, when your spiritual awareness is strong enough to penetrate the furnace and move objects, you can try to refine the lowest level of elixir.

Although a night had passed, Qin Gengyun was still a little excited.

Um?

Qin Gengyun suddenly discovered that the progress of his fire spiritual roots and ice spiritual roots seemed to be somewhat different from last night.

When I checked for the first time last night, the lower-grade spiritual roots of the fire element were only 11 points, and the lower-grade spiritual roots of the ice element were 15 points.

And now, the fire element spiritual roots have increased by 1 point, and the ice element spiritual roots have increased by 2 points.

But the golden finger didn't give any hints.

Is this a benefit other than the golden finger?

Qin Gengyun recalled last night when Qiu Zhihe claimed that she was born with an ice spirit body and acquired fire poison, which resulted in a special physique.

Is it because of this that his dual spiritual roots of ice and fire have been improved?

Qin Gengyun gently turned over and looked at Qiu Zhihe who was still sleeping beside him.

The woman huddled in the quilt, revealing only her pretty little round face. Her skin was as smooth as a baby's, and her slightly messy hair hung at the corners of her lips, revealing a bit of innocence and purity.

She was completely different from the cold woman who crushed him last night.

Such a beautiful woman with a cool temperament is completely different from the female cultivators Qin Gengyun has seen.

She is most likely not an ordinary cultivator.

Perhaps she was once a disciple of a small sect, or even the daughter of the sect leader. The entire sect was destroyed by the evil sect, and she was captured by the evil sect and tortured.

Now that the Demon Sect has been destroyed, although she has been rescued, she has no relatives in the world and is heartbroken, so she just randomly finds a man to end her life?

Qin Gengyun quickly imagined a tragic drama in his mind.

But no matter what, even though he was so poor that he couldn't even afford the bride price, Qiu Zhihe was still willing to marry him and gave him her virginity without hesitation.

Just for this reason, Qin Gengyun was extremely grateful.

He looked down at Qiu Zhihe's charming and tender face, and swore secretly in his heart, now that he has seen the hope of survival, he must work harder, for himself and for his wife to live a better life in the future.

Of course, he and Qiu Zhihe are still somewhat unfamiliar with each other now, which can be seen from the [Couple Intimacy] which is only 5 points.

Even if there is no physical barrier between the two after the wedding night, if a couple wants to stay together for a long time, narrowing the distance between their hearts is the most important thing.

What's more, the relationship between husband and wife should have a great influence on the improvement of cultivation. Whether out of gratitude to Qiu Zhihe or for the purpose of improving cultivation, he should treat her well.

Don’t let yourself down, don’t let your wife down.

Having made up his mind, Qin Gengyun got out of bed, tiptoed to the door, opened it, went out, and then closed it gently.

He came to the entrance of Zhaiyu Lane, where there were many stalls selling breakfast in the morning. In order to save money, Qin Gengyun usually drank a bowl of porridge and ate two steamed buns.

But today he bought three more meat buns, two tea eggs, and a cup of hot soy milk.

It cost a full three spirit baht more.

The vendor was also familiar with him and asked in surprise, "Fellow Daoist Qin, what day is it today?"

Qin Gengyun smiled and said, "There will be one more person in the family from now on."

The vendor bowed and smiled, "So Brother Qin got married. Congratulations!"

"Thank you!" Qin Gengyun returned the gift with a smile and went back home with the breakfast.

Qiu Zhihe was still sleeping, her little face was rosy and her hair was slightly messy sticking to her cheeks, making her look even more adorable.

Qin Gengyun gently placed the breakfast on the table, walked to the bed, looked at his wife's beautiful face, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up slightly.

From now on, I am also a married man.

He did not wake Qiu Zhihe up. He sat back at the table, quietly drank a bowl of porridge and ate two steamed buns. Seeing that Qiu Zhihe was still asleep, he took a steamer lid and covered the breakfast he bought for her to prevent it from getting cold.

He took out a pen and paper and wrote a line of words, then put it on the table. After thinking for a while, he took out 50 spirit baht from his pocket and put it on the table.

He looked back at Qiu Zhihe, smiled, and then went out again.

Click.

With a slight sound, the door closed and the cramped room returned to silence.

The ** woman opened her eyes, and her eyes were as cold as frost, instantly breaking her previous cuteness.

She slowly sat up and lifted the thin quilt. On the white sheets beneath her, there was a glaring fallen red flower.

Qiu Zhihe bit her lip, mist welled up in her cold eyes, but no tears fell in the end.

She carries a deep blood feud, and from now on she will only shed blood, not tears.

This man named Qin Gengyun was just a tool for her to hide her identity and restore her cultivation.

When her cultivation is fully restored, all the people from the three major sects will die, and there will be no need for this man to live any longer.

Qiu Zhihe stood up, walked to the table, and was slightly startled.

There was a piece of paper on the table with two lines of words written on it:

"Fellow Daoist Qiu, I'm on duty at the Spiritual Pill Shop. Under the lid is the breakfast I bought for you. If it's cold, take it to the kitchen and heat it up. I'll be back at 4 p.m. There will be 50 spiritual baht on the table. Use it first. Tell me if it's not enough."

Qiu Zhihe put down the note and picked up the steamer lid. Inside were three big meat buns, two tea eggs and a bowl of soy milk, still emitting a slight steam.

Next to it is fifty spirit baht.

Qiu Zhihe fell silent.

When my cultivation is fully restored, I will of course kill all three major sects. However, Qin Gengyun is just a casual cultivator and has no grudge against me, so there is no need to take his life.

However, I had just arrived at Yunling Town yesterday. I was exhausted and wanted to find a male cultivator with suitable spiritual roots. Then he appeared in front of me by coincidence.

Is he really an ordinary casual cultivator, or... the three major sects noticed that I was not dead and set a trap to catch me?

The gentleness in Qiu Zhihe's eyes disappeared in an instant. She waved her hand and a storage bag appeared. She took out a black robe with a hood from it.

The next moment, a petite figure in a black robe was standing by the door.

Qin Gengyun went out and walked along the long and narrow alley.

Narrow Rain Lane is a concentrated low-rent housing area in Yunling Town, exclusively for rent by lower-level monks. It is three miles long at both ends, with a narrow lane in the middle and closely-built tiled houses on both sides.

The house Qin Gengyun rented was the cheapest one among them, costing only eighty spirit baht a month.

In this world of immortal cultivation, cultivators use spirit coins and spirit stones as currency for transactions.

Lingzhu has the smallest value, and one hundred Lingzhu can be exchanged for one Lingshi.

When Qin Gengyun first traveled through time, he did some research and found that if compared with the world of his previous life, one Lingzhu was roughly equivalent to ten yuan.

To put it in context, the monthly rent for the house he rented would have been eight hundred yuan in his previous life.

It is indeed very cheap.

It was ok to live alone before, but now I have a wife and want to make elixirs, so I need to put an alchemy furnace in the house, which is a bit cramped.

You still need to improve your cultivation as soon as possible, refine pills and sell them, and earn more spirit stones so that you can live a better life.

After walking a few steps, the door of the next room opened and a man and a woman walked out.

The man had an ordinary appearance and the woman had a gentle temperament, but like Qin Gengyun, both of them were wearing cheap coarse cloth robes.

These were the Taoist couple who lived next door to Qin Gengyun. The man was called Zhang Chengdao and the woman was called Chen Fang.

Although his name is "Chengdao", Zhang Chengdao is the same as Qin Gengyun. In his thirties, his cultivation is still stuck at the second level of Qi training, so he married a woman and wanted to pursue the path of dual cultivation.

However, he and Chen Fang had been married for more than a year, but neither of them had made any progress in their cultivation.

Obviously, their path of cultivation has been cut off.

The two of them also knew this, so they simply gave up their desire to seek the truth, became a real couple, and began to enjoy life.

Every time Qin Gengyun met them, they held hands, like a loving mortal couple.

Qin Gengyun went to borrow their wedding dress last night.

At this time, he hurriedly bowed and said, "Friend Zhang, Friend Chen, thank you for last night. I haven't had time to wash the wedding dress yet. I will return it to you after I wash it."

Zhang Chengdao waved his hands repeatedly: "No, no hurry."

Chen Fang held her husband's arm and smiled gently, "Fellow Daoist Qin, congratulations! Bring your wife over when you have time. I have learned a few new dishes."

Zhang Chengdao has a dull personality, while Chen Fang is gentle and generous. After she gave up her Taoist heart, Chen Fang became like an ordinary person, obsessed with cooking. The couple often invited Qin Gengyun to dinner.

"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Chen. I will definitely bring Qiu...my wife to visit me some other day."

Qin Gengyun bowed to express his gratitude, said goodbye to the two men, walked out of the narrow rain alley, and hurried to Caifeng Street.

Caifeng Street is the most prosperous street in Yunling Town. The morning market, night market, Danfu Tower, Lingbao Pavilion and Yinyuan Pavilion are all on this street.

Passing by the Marriage Pavilion, Qin Gengyun saw Matchmaker Wang waiting at the door early in the morning to solicit customers. He bowed to her and smiled:

"Friend Wang, thank you for your enthusiasm in helping me find my marriage partner. That's why I met my wife."

Matchmaker Wang laughed and also bowed, saying, "Fellow Daoist Qin, you are too polite. I see that your wife is beautiful, well-behaved, virtuous and docile. We will definitely be able to live in harmony with each other and embark on the great road together in the future!"

"Thank you, Brother Wang!"

After passing the Marriage Pavilion and exiting Caifeng Street, there is a rather spacious courtyard in front of you. There is a vermilion plaque hanging at the door with the words - Lingdanfang inscribed on it.

This is where Qin Gengyun is on duty.

Every time he walked into here, Qin Gengyun was depressed and saw no hope.

But today, he has more hope for the future in his heart.

Although my cultivation is still low and my life is poor and difficult, no matter what, I finally have some hope in my life.

Do your job well, treat your wife well, and live well!

Qin Gengyun walked into the Lingdanfang with a smile on his face.

In the distance, a petite figure in a black robe stared at Qin Gengyun coldly.
