"Twenty Spiritual Stones?"

Qin Gengyun was silent.

It’s not that I think the price of this dress is too expensive. The value of this kind of spiritual robe with magic array patterns on it is far beyond that of ordinary clothes.

Moreover, this cloud-patterned pleated skirt is exquisitely crafted and made of fine materials, so twenty spirit stones is not too much.

There were more than 700 spirit stones in the spirit crystal in Qin Gengyun's arms, so he could certainly afford a magic robe.

But he was just a low-ranking alchemist, so why did he suddenly buy such an expensive piece of clothing? Wasn’t it a little too eye-catching?

If someone with ulterior motives finds out and tells the abbot, and the great alchemist behind him investigates him, then he'll be in trouble.

Qin Gengyun coughed dryly and said with a smile: "This dress is too expensive, Fellow Daoist Chen, do you have any cheaper ones?"

Chen Jia looked at him, still with a bright smile on her face, and pointed to a black gauze dress with gold embroidery next to her:

"This one is cheaper, but the soul-restoring array inside is simpler, so the effect of restoring soul power is not as good. The workmanship and materials used in the clothes are not as exquisite. Besides..."

Chen Jia smiled and said, "Brother Qin's wife must be very beautiful. Wearing this black dress may make her look a little old."

Qin Gengyun asked, "Fellow Daoist Chen, how many spirit stones does this skirt cost?"

"Ten Spiritual Stones."

Chen Jia moved closer to Qin Gengyun and whispered:

"If Fellow Daoist Qin is interested, I can give you a discount of two spirit stones for that cloud pattern pleated skirt if I tell the shopkeeper that you are my friend. How about that?"

She still wanted to persuade Qin Gengyun to buy the twenty spirit stone skirt.

Qin Gengyun smiled and said, "My wife likes black clothes, so let's wear this gold-thread embroidered skirt."

Chen Jia had no choice but to nod: "Okay, please follow me to the counter, Qin Daoyou, you are so good to your wife."

Qin Gengyun smiled and said, "My wife is dignified and skilled, and she is devoted to me, so I naturally have to treat her well."

"Fellow Daoist Qin is so lucky." Chen Jia smiled, took Qin Gengyun to the counter to pay the spirit stones, and then helped him fold the black skirt with gold embroidery and put it in his pocket.

After sending Qin Gengyun to the entrance of Yanzhi Pavilion, Chen Jia suddenly said:

"Fellow Daoist Qin, I live in the second room at the entrance of Qingluo Lane. We are destined to be together. Can you come to my house and have a chat someday when you are free?"

Qin Gengyun was stunned, only to see Chen Jia smiling at him charmingly and touching him with her elbow intentionally or unintentionally.

"Fellow Daoist Chen, goodbye."

Qin Gengyun didn't dare to answer, and hurriedly left with his bag.

This Chen Daoyou was quite disdainful of him when they first met for a blind date, but now she is so enthusiastic. She was rude at first but respectful later. It is best not to get close to such a woman.

I should be more careful in the future and not stand out too much and cause unnecessary trouble.

Qin Gengyun walked quickly towards his home. On the way from Yanzhi Pavilion to Zhaiyu Lane, he would pass by Yihong Tower.

Sometimes when Qin Gengyun went to the night market, he would pass by this brothel. Normally, he would not even look at it, but today he was a little hesitant and stopped at the door of Yihonglou.

I was stimulated by Zhang Chengdao this morning and have been thinking about the length of time all day.

After all, it concerns a man's dignity, it is impossible not to care.

How about... I go to Yihonglou and find a random female cultivator to give it a try, to see if it's my own problem or if it's because of Qiu Zhihe's special physique.

However, I am a married man now, and I still feel a little guilty about going to such a place without telling my wife.

Qin Gengyun was hesitating when the brothel owner standing at the door came over:

"This Taoist friend is unfamiliar to me. I guess you have never tasted the charming beauties in our building. Come in with me. I guarantee that you will be fascinated and happy like a god!"

"No!"

Qin Gengyun was startled and quickly dodged and ran away as if he was escaping.

The prostitutes in Yihong Tower have all learned the art of seduction and are best at sucking the marrow out of a man's bones. Once a man enters, he will fall into a bottomless abyss. Besides, the prostitutes have dirty bodies, and if they get infected with any disease, it will be a waste of time.

Besides, his wife at home is a thousand times more beautiful than those prostitutes, and her figure is unmatched. Why would he run off to a brothel instead of practicing dual cultivation with his wife?

Qin Gengyun, you must not be confused!

There should be other ways to verify your abilities, so take your time.

After some self-comfort, Qin Gengyun finally calmed down temporarily and soon returned to the narrow rain alley.

Standing in front of the door, he looked down at the pocket in his hand, a smile appeared on his face, he pushed the door open, and the house was filled with fragrance.

Qin Gengyun immediately smelled that this was Qiu Zhihe's best stew.

Unfortunately, this meat doesn't seem to be the high-grade spiritual meat I had eaten in the past few days. It is less fresh and fragrant. I will go to the market another day and buy some for Qiu Zhihe to stew in a pot.

Just as I was thinking about it, Qiu Zhihe came out from the kitchen carrying a pot of meat soup.

Seeing the pocket in Qin Gengyun's hand, she raised her eyebrows: "What is this?"

Qin Gengyun laughed and handed the pocket over: "Open it and take a look."

Qiu Zhihe glanced at him, put the broth on the table, took the pocket and opened it, her eyes moved slightly:

"Magic array robe?"

"Michi Akimichi has a good eye. This is for you. Do you like it?"

Qin Gengyun said with a smile.

Qiu Zhihe was silent for a moment and put his pocket aside:

"dislike."

After saying that, he lowered his head and drank his porridge.

Qin Gengyun was speechless for a moment and couldn't help asking:

"Fellow Daoist Qiu, don't you usually like to wear black dresses? Do you think the pattern on this dress doesn't look good?"

Qiu Zhihe poured a bowl of meat soup and placed it in front of Qin Gengyun, saying calmly, "Eat."

Qin Gengyun scratched his cheek and had to lower his head to eat the meat.

At this time, there was a knock on the door. Qin Gengyun stood up and asked:

"Who is it?"

"Fellow Daoist Qin, it's me, Mo Xiaolan. Is it convenient for you? I have something to tell you."

Mo Xiaolan's crisp voice rang out from outside, and Qin Gengyun turned around and said to Qiu Zhihe:

"It's Daoist friend Mo."

Qiu Zhihe hummed expressionlessly. Qin Gengyun opened the door and saw Mo Xiaolan standing at the door in plain clothes, with her hands behind her back and her eyes slightly curved:

"Fellow Daoist Qin, did I disturb you and Fellow Daoist Qiu?"

"Why bother you? Please come in."

Qin Gengyun stepped aside to let Mo Xiaolan in. When he turned around, he saw Qiu Zhihe had already gone into the kitchen, as if she didn't want to meet Mo Xiaolan.

Mo Xiaolan sat down at the entrance, seeming to be in a hurry, and took a breath before saying:

"Fellow Daoist Qin, a treasure hunting team came to me at the night market just now to buy talisman paper and elixirs. They all wanted first-grade elixirs, but they all required the highest quality. I remembered that the Qingling Powder you refined was of quite high quality, so I came back to talk to you about this matter immediately."

The so-called treasure hunting team is a group of cultivators organized together to go to the mountains of the northern wilderness to search for natural treasures.

Qin Gengyun's eyes lit up and he quickly asked:

"Friend Mo, what kind of elixir do they want?"

During this period, he didn't dare to take the pills to Danfu Tower to sell openly. He was worrying about how to turn the pills in his hand into spirit stones. Unexpectedly, Mo Xiaolan came to him in time of need.

Mo Xiaolan said in one breath: “20 blood coagulation pills, 20 soul-protecting pills, and 20 Jade Purity Pills. They are willing to pay six spirit stones for each pill.”

Qin Gengyun thought about it carefully. It goes without saying that he was already very proficient in making the Blood Coagulation Pill. The Soul Protection Pill and the Jade Purity Pill were also the most common pills and were not difficult to refine.

The high-quality Yuqing Pill not only detoxifies and removes blood stasis, but is also effective for treating pill poison. I can make money by refining pills while practicing and refining a few more Yuqing Pills for myself to take.

Of course, all of this is based on the high-quality spiritual herbs cultivated by Qiu Zhihe.

Qin Gengyun shouted into the kitchen: "Fellow Daoist Qiu, what do you think?"

There was no response from inside, and Mo Xiaolan looked at Qin Gengyun in confusion.

Qin Gengyun coughed and called out again: "Fellow Daoist Qiu, can you please come out for a moment?"

After a while, Qiu Zhihe walked out of the kitchen, and Qin Gengyun's eyes widened immediately:

"Fellow Daoist Qiu, you..."
