The hour of Hai.

The night was not too dark.

It was just that the snow was falling so heavily that there were no pedestrians in the narrow rain alley.

Most of the monks living here practice in narrow houses.

Qiu Zhihe bit her lips lightly, enduring the pain brought by the ice and fire running wildly in her body. She took a breath for a while and finally returned to normal.

She didn't dare to be willful tonight and suppressed her skills every time.

The Xuanbing Lihuo Technique is too overbearing. Even if she can't control it well, she will be backfired. If Qin Gengyun's foundation is really seriously injured, it will be troublesome.

In comparison, I only felt a brief pain after each session, which was nothing.

Yes, Qiu Zhihe has decided that she will suppress her own skills every time from now on.

Just think of it as compensation for the fact that I had deceived him and used him as a tool for dual cultivation, and that I might even put him in danger in the future.

Why am I getting longer again tonight?

Behind Qiu Zhihe, Qin Gengyun had a confused look on his face.

He clearly only had forty breaths last night, why did it go back to fifty breaths tonight?

Moreover, I always feel that the ice and fire in Qiu Zhihe's body have weakened a little tonight.

Is it my illusion?

Qin Gengyun shook his head, knowing that even if he asked Qiu Zhihe, she would not answer. He put aside his doubts for the moment and called up the attribute panel.

【Name: Qin Gengyun】

【Lifespan: 35/40】

[Cultivation: Qi training level 3, 140/500]

[Skills: First-level Alchemist, 113/200]

[Spiritual roots: Fire-type middle-grade spiritual roots (80/1000), Ice-type middle-grade spiritual roots (87/1000)]

[Available training points: 15]

Qin Gengyun added 15 points to [Cultivation], and the attribute panel changed:

[Cultivation: Qi training level 3, 155/500]

There are still 345 points to go. If you can improve 27 points every day, it will take fourteen days to reach the fourth level of Qi training.

However, there are only five pieces of spiritual marrow left. I have to go to the Xianbao Pavilion tomorrow to buy another sixty pieces of spiritual marrow. After that, I will practice in seclusion until I reach the fourth level of Qi training before I can go out.

By the way, if I buy sixty pieces of spiritual marrow, the eight hundred or so spiritual stones I earned a few days ago will basically be used up. Tomorrow I have to ask Fellow Daoist Qiu if his family has enough spiritual stones.

She has to buy groceries every day and cultivate spiritual herbs, which also costs money.

After thinking for a while, Qin Gengyun looked back at his wife beside him.

It feels so good to have someone by my side every night.

His heart was warm and he fell into a deep sleep unknowingly.

…

The next day.

When Qin Gengyun woke up, Qiu Zhihe had already left.

There was still a sumptuous breakfast on the table, and a note with beautiful handwriting:

"I'm going to buy groceries."

Qin Gengyun put the note in his arms. After breakfast, Qiu Zhihe came back with a bag in her hand and said to Qin Gengyun:

"I bought high-quality spiritual meat again today."

Qin Gengyun stood up and asked with a smile: "There is not much spiritual meat in the market outside the narrow rain alley, and even less high-quality spiritual meat. Fellow Daoist Qiu is lucky."

Qiu Zhihe went into the kitchen, and Qin Gengyun asked outside:

"By the way, Fellow Daoist Qiu, this spirit meat is not cheap, right? Do you have enough spirit stones?"

A cold voice came from the kitchen:

"enough."

This wild spirit mastiff was hunted by the three ghost cultivators from the mountains outside Yunling Town. How dare they accept her spirit stones?

After hearing what Qiu Zhihe said, Qin Gengyun didn't ask any more questions and started to make the elixir.

Just like yesterday, at noon, when Qin Gengyun finished refining the elixir, Qiu Zhihe brought out the fragrant stewed meat soup.

As the two of them were eating, Qin Gengyun said:

"Fellow Daoist Qiu, I can refine all the elixirs agreed upon with Fellow Daoist Mo today. How about sending them to her at the night market in the evening?"

Qiu Zhihe glanced at him and said, "Just go ahead, why are you asking me?"

"Oh." Qin Gengyun thought that if he didn't tell you, he would be angry again.

After they finished lunch, Qin Gengyun washed the dishes as usual, and then he said to Qiu Zhihe:

"Fellow Daoist Qiu, I'm going to go out and buy some spiritual essence at the Immortal Treasure Pavilion."

"Um."

Qiu Zhihe, who was sitting cross-legged on the bed, hummed, and Qin Gengyun left the room.

I hadn't been out for a few days, and when I stepped on the ground, my whole shoe sank into the thick snow.

It was snowing heavily and there were fewer people walking outside.

It was the first time for Qin Gengyun to spend the winter in Yunling Town.

I remember when I was in Zhenyang City two years ago, the snow was not that heavy in winter.

At that time, he was working as a medicine attendant in the Tiandan Pavilion. He heard from an alchemist that it was because there was a huge magic formation in Zhenyang City that weakened most of the impact of bad weather.

Naturally, there is no such treatment in a remote small place like Yunling Town.

Qin Gengyun walked in the heavy snow, putting his hands in front of his eyes to block the snowflakes flying in the wind.

"Did Fellow Daoist Qiu brave the heavy snow to buy groceries these past two days?"

Thinking of the fact that Qiu Zhihe was wearing quite thin clothes today, Qin Gengyun felt a little sorry.

Qiu Zhihe had a lot of thin clothes, but winter clothes seemed not enough. In such a cold day, even a monk could easily freeze.

After thinking about it, he did not go straight to Xianbao Pavilion, but came to Caifeng Street and found a shop that specialized in selling clothes.

In fact, if you want to buy better clothes, you naturally have to go to Yanzhi Pavilion.

But Qin Gengyun was worried that he would be entangled by Chen Jia again. What if she was really Yang Fengshan's fiancée and told Yang Fengshan that he spent thirty spirit stones to buy clothes? That would be unnecessary trouble.

Qin Gengyun chose two thick embroidered fur coats in the clothing store. Both were made of monster skins and were quite warm.

One black and one red.

The black one is because Qiu Zhihe likes it, and the red one is because Qiu Zhihe looks really good in red.

Buy two and let her wear whichever she likes.

These two fur coats are ordinary clothes. They cost two spirit stones, but it did not affect Qin Gengyun's purchase of spiritual essence.

Walking out of the clothing store, Liuyan Lane is not far away, and Yihong Tower is opposite the lane.

Qin Gengyun recalled the rumor that "the courtesan is obsessed with the master of sex skills", shook his head, and walked quickly towards the Xianbao Pavilion.

Not far behind him, two sturdy female cultivators from Yihong Tower looked at the portrait in their hands, then looked at Qin Gengyun's back, and exchanged a glance:

"It seems to be the patron of Ruyi Hua Kui?"

"Quick, follow quietly!"

Qin Gengyun came to the Xianbao Pavilion, feeling a little nervous. He wanted to buy sixty pieces of spiritual marrow, which meant he had to pay a huge sum of six hundred spirit stones.

It's really eye-catching.

It would be troublesome if someone targeted us.

Fortunately, it was only Chen time at this moment, and the Xianbao Pavilion had just opened. It was snowing heavily, so there were not many people in the Xianbao Pavilion.

Qin Gengyun breathed a sigh of relief, walked to a counter, and whispered to the shopkeeper:

"I want sixty pieces of spiritual essence."

The shopkeeper looked up at him, but didn't say much. He said, "My fellow Taoist, six hundred spirit stones."

Qin Gengyun took out six hundred spirit stones from the spirit crystal and paid the bill quickly. The shopkeeper also gave him a fine brocade jade bag, which was specially used to store spirit essence.

"Thank you very much."

Qin Gengyun put the jade bag into his arms, walked out of the Xianbao Pavilion, looked around, and walked quickly towards the narrow rain alley.

"It's out! Follow me!"

The two strong female cultivators guarding outside the Xianbao Pavilion immediately followed Qin Gengyun as soon as they saw him come out.
