3:45 pm

Narrow rainy alley.

The snow had accumulated thickly, making a crunching sound when stepped on. The dark clouds above his head gradually dispersed, and the warm sunlight fell on Qin Gengyun's shoulders.

Qin Gengyun walked into the narrow rain alley and happened to meet Zhang Chengdao. He asked in surprise:

"Fellow Daoist Qin, did you not show up for duty today?"

Qin Gengyun smiled and said, "I missed my wife, so I came back to see her."

Zhang Chengdao was even more surprised, as if he didn't know Qin Gengyun. Qin Gengyun was usually taciturn, so when did he become so unrestrained?

Qin Gengyun laughed: "Friend Zhang, I'm going back."

After saying that, he strode forward, walked to his rental house, opened the door and went in, saying loudly:

"Mother...Fellow Daoist Qiu, I'm back!"

He dared to say "wife" casually outside, but when he was in front of Qiu Zhihe, he still didn't dare to call her that.

There always seemed to be something between the two of them. If one day he could call her "wife" in person, and Qiu Zhihe was willing to call him "husband", then perhaps they would be considered real husband and wife.

Qiu Zhihe was sitting cross-legged on the bed with her eyes closed in meditation. When she heard Qin Gengyun's voice, she slowly opened her eyes.

Qin Gengyun strode over, kicked off his shoes, jumped onto the bed, and sat next to Qiu Zhihe:

"Fellow Daoist Qiu, I won't go to the Spiritual Pill Shop anymore, so I can stay with you every day!"

It was hard to describe Qin Gengyun's mood at this moment. It was just like the joy and relief he had imagined countless times in his previous life, after winning the lottery jackpot and resigning from that dirty chemical factory.

Excited, Qin Gengyun raised his hand to hold Qiu Zhihe's shoulders and laughed:

"Friend Qiu, it's snowy outside, it's so poetic, why don't we talk about it in broad daylight..."

"Go make the elixir."

Before my palm could make contact, the slender shoulder had already moved away, and a cold voice came to my ears.

He reluctantly got out of bed and turned back to say:

"Fellow Daoist Qiu, that night..."

Qiu Zhihe glanced at him and said, "Eight pills today, let's talk about it after we finish them."

"Okay! Wait for me to finish the elixir!"

Qin Gengyun immediately walked into the kitchen and saw that there were four jade spirit flowers placed next to the alchemy furnace, and four more were planted in the spiritual plant pot next to it, as well as Qingshan chrysanthemum and detoxification flower needed to refine the Jade Purity Pill.

It turned out that Qiu Zhihe had already prepared the medicinal herbs he would need today.

My wife is so virtuous!

Qin Gengyun shouted outside: "Fellow Daoist Qiu, thank you very much!"

There was no response. Qin Gengyun just smiled and didn't care.

Before refining the elixir, he had one important thing to confirm.

Qin Gengyun took out a Yuqing Pill that he had refined yesterday, put it into his mouth and swallowed it.

Then he sat down cross-legged, closed his eyes, and felt the movements of the meridians and spiritual fields in his body.

The Yuqing Pill entered the stomach and turned into a wisp of cool air, which flowed into the spiritual field along the meridians.

However, it was blocked at the entrance to the spiritual field. The accumulated poison became a roadblock, and the spiritual energy could not flow at all.

Qin Gengyun opened his eyes, thought for a moment, then picked up another Yuqing Pill and swallowed it.

There were two cool auras in the body, impacting the Dandu Gate that blocked the spiritual field. The black gate seemed to tremble slightly.

Qin Gengyun was overjoyed and swallowed two more Yuqing Pills in succession.

Under the impact of the four streams of pure air, the door was pried open a little.

“There is hope!”

Qin Gengyun made up his mind and swallowed all the remaining four Yuqing Pills.

The eight strands of pure energy transformed into a huge battering ram, smashing towards the gate of Dandu!

boom!

A small hole was smashed into the black door!

Although it is not very big, Qin Gengyun has already felt the long-lost spiritual energy flowing in the spiritual field!

Although the circulation was far less smooth than before the poisoning, it already made Qin Gengyun ecstatic!

He finally reopened his path to cultivation.

From now on, in addition to dual cultivation, I can also practice on my own!

Qin Gengyun thought about it and began to concentrate on refining the elixir.

By the time of You, he had already refined eight Yuqing Pills.

He swallowed three more pills and tried to continue attacking the poison gate.

But it was of no use this time. No matter how the clear air hit the door, it did not move at all.

It seems that smashing a hole is the limit of what Yuqing Dan can do.

This is still the highest quality Yuqing Pill. If it were an ordinary Yuqing Pill, even if you take twenty of them at the same time, they probably wouldn't have much effect.

If you want to make a bigger hole in the door of pill poison, you may have to upgrade to a second-level alchemist and refine high-quality Bingqing Pills.

Qin Gengyun tried to practice meditation, and he was able to draw spiritual energy into his body, pass through his spiritual field, and circulate it in his meridians.

However, the spiritual energy in this low-rent house is thin. If one wants to quickly improve his cultivation through self-cultivation, he must rely on external objects.

Spiritual essence!

"Fellow Daoist Qiu, I'm going out to buy something and will be back soon."

Qin Gengyun immediately got up and went out, running all the way to Xianbao Pavilion located on the south side of Caifeng Street.

Xianbao Pavilion is a place that sells cultivators' magic weapons and various cultivation resources, similar to Qin Gengyun's supermarket in his previous life.

There are rich items inside, ranging from automatic jade spirit pillars for single female practitioners to flying swords that only those in the late stages of Qi training are qualified to own. It can be said that there is everything.

Qin Gengyun walked into the Xianbao Pavilion, looked around, and quickly found the shelf where the spiritual marrow was placed.

I saw rows of thumb-sized blue crystals neatly placed on a vermilion nanmu rack, with several spirit beast masters guarding them with spirit mastiffs and spirit jackals.

Qin Gengyun went over and was soon greeted by a lady. He didn't say much, but took out twenty spirit stones and bought two pieces.

When he got home, he saw Qiu Zhihe cooking porridge in the kitchen. He did not go in, but sat cross-legged on the bed, took out a piece of spiritual marrow and placed it in front of him.

The fingers touched the spiritual essence and began to practice.

Suddenly, the pure spiritual energy contained in the spiritual marrow poured into his body like river water.

This small piece of spiritual marrow contains such rich spiritual energy.

It turned out to be a treasure for cultivation that only cultivators in the late stage of Qi training could use.

Qin Gengyun was determined to try it and soon entered a state of cultivation.

An hour later, with a crackling sound, the spiritual energy in the spiritual marrow was sucked out and it broke into several pieces.

Phantom words appeared before Qin Gengyun's eyes:

[Cultivation +2]

[Cultivation: Qi training level 3, 38/500]

really!

After prying open a gap in the poison that is blocking the spiritual field, and then using the spiritual marrow, you can really improve your cultivation quickly!

But the price was not small, ten spirit stones were spent in one hour.

This kind of practice method is really wasteful!

However, the matter of the abbot's pursuit of Qingfeng Powder is urgent, and the sooner he advances to the fourth level of Qi training, the less danger there will be.

The most important thing right now is to quickly improve your cultivation!

Of course, in terms of cost-effectiveness, dual cultivation is more cost-effective.

You can get 3 points from dual cultivation once, which only takes two and a half minutes. You can rest for a while and then do it again. It doesn't cost spirit stones and can also cultivate the relationship between husband and wife.

It is indeed efficient, environmentally friendly and healthy!

The only problem is that my kidneys can’t take it.

Therefore, dual cultivation and self-study must go hand in hand!

Now you are 462 points away from the fourth level of Qi training.

If you practice dual cultivation ten times a day, you can get 30 points. If you spend three pieces of spiritual marrow to practice for three hours, you can increase 6 points. The total amount you can increase is 36 points a day.

In this way, you can be promoted to the fourth level of Qi training in thirteen days at most!

Of course, I have to complete the task my wife assigned to me first.

Eight Yuqing Pills!

From Si hour to Zi hour, eight hours later.

Qin Gengyun walked out of the kitchen excitedly: "Fellow Daoist Qiu, I'm done!"

He successfully refined eight Yuqing Pills!

Qiu Zhihe sat at the table, took back her hand, and said to Qin Gengyun, "Let's eat."

The pot of chopped green onion and minced pork porridge in front of her was steaming. Qiu Zhihe scooped out a bowl and put it on the table.

Qin Gengyun sat down, looked at the steaming meat porridge, then looked at the snow outside the window, and said in surprise:

"Fellow Daoist Qiu, you served this porridge three hours ago. How come it's still hot in such a cold day?"

Qiu Zhihe looked down at the hot porridge in the pot, slightly distracted.

Just now she had been using the internal fire to heat the bottom of the pot, so the porridge was hot.

I did this not because I was worried that he wouldn't be able to drink hot porridge after refining the elixir, but purely to train my control over the fire.

Yes, that's it.

This man is nothing more than a tool for me to recover my cultivation.

Qiu Zhihe raised her head and glanced at Qin Gengyun: "After dinner, go to bed."

"Okay!"

Qin Gengyun agreed and started eating immediately.

He knew that Qiu Zhihe still had many secrets, but who in this world doesn't have secrets?

Just make sure she won't harm you.

The two of them quickly finished their "midnight snack". Qin Gengyun looked at Qiu Zhihe with burning eyes. For the first time since they got married, he took the initiative to make such a request to his wife:

"Fellow Daoist Qiu, tonight... shall we have a good fight?"
