The next day.
early morning.
Qin Gengyun got up early. In the past ten days, he had to practice for another two hours after practicing dual cultivation every night, which consumed a lot of energy. Therefore, he got up later than Qiu Zhihe every morning.
But today is different, he wants to tell Qiu Zhihe the good news as soon as possible.
Qin Gengyun got up, put on his clothes, sat beside the bed and waited for a moment. Qiu Zhihe slowly turned over, and her almond-shaped eyes still seemed to be hazy from just waking up.
There was also confusion on her round little face. After a moment, she woke up, hugged the quilt and sat up. She raised her hand to smooth her slightly messy hair, and her expression returned to calmness:
"what you do?"
Qin Gengyun chuckled: "Fellow Daoist Qiu, I have already reached the fourth level of Qi training!"
After saying this, she waited for Qiu Zhihe to show joy on her face and say a few words of encouragement to him, or even say a few more words like "Husband, you are awesome!" or "Husband, keep going!" That would make her feel even more comfortable.
But after waiting for a while, I heard Qiu Zhihe say calmly:
"I'm going to get dressed."
"ah?"
Qin Gengyun was stunned for a moment, then he said "oh" and got up and walked into the kitchen.
There was a rustling sound of clothes rubbing against each other outside, and Qin Gengyun couldn't help but shouted to the outer room:
"Fellow Daoist Qiu, I have reached the fourth level of Qi training!"
There was still no response from outside. After a while, Qiu Zhihe's calm voice was heard:
"alright."
Qin Gengyun walked out of the kitchen and his eyes lit up to see Qiu Zhihe wearing the red embroidered fur coat he bought for her, which looked quite festive.
It was only then that Qin Gengyun realized that the embroidery on this bright red fur coat was so tacky.
It was because Qiu Zhihe had a good appearance and figure that she could withstand such rusticity. If she were an ordinary female cultivator, she would turn into a country girl if she put it on.
No wonder Qiu Zhihe was so disgusted with it when she bought it that day.
Moreover, the location of the embroidery on this fur coat is also very strange. Two dragon-spitting pearls are embroidered on the left and right sides of the chest, and a little bright red is spit out among the blooming white petals around them.
These two bright red spots happen to be on the top of the mountains on both sides, making people feel itchy when they see them.
Qiu Zhihe was in the position where Qin Gengyun's gaze was focused, and her face turned cold:
"What are you looking at?"
"Nothing, Fellow Daoist Qiu, you are really pretty."
Qin Gengyun quickly looked away and asked with a smile, "I have reached the fourth level of Qi training. Aren't you happy?"
Qiu Zhihe gave him a strange look and said, "It's just the Qi training stage, what's there to be happy about?"
"Well……"
Qin Gengyun choked and spoke after a long while:
"Fellow Daoist Qiu reminded me that I still need to reach the fifth level of Qi training within half a year, otherwise Fellow Daoist Mo will be in danger."
"I'm not going to buy groceries today, you can cook for yourself."
Qiu Zhihe sat on the edge of the bed, crossed her arms, and said coldly.
Qin Gengyun walked to the bed and sat down next to her.
Qiu Zhihe suddenly turned to look at him, her almond eyes frosty:
"Go away."
Qin Gengyun did not stand up obediently as usual, but said to Qiu Zhihe seriously:
"Fellow Daoist Qiu, I have something I want to discuss with you regarding Fellow Daoist Mo."
Qiu Zhihe frowned, her almond eyes were frosty, and her long hair moved without wind: "What do you want to say?"
Qin Gengyun said, "Friend Mo has been forced by Zhou Kun, so I think she has been working even harder these days to earn spirit stones and improve her cultivation. Friend Mo has helped me a lot in the past. If it weren't for her, I would have been unable to hold on when I first moved to Yunling Town half a year ago."
“So, I want to help her.”
Qin Gengyun really wanted to help Mo Xiaolan. This was out of friendship and also because Mo Xiaolan had helped him a lot.
However, he still had to be honest with his wife about this matter and get her support. If he did it behind Qiu Zhihe's back, it would not only damage the trust between husband and wife, but also tarnish Mo Daoyou's reputation.
"It is only natural to repay a favor."
Hearing Qin Gengyun's words, Qiu Zhihe's eyes softened slightly, but her voice was still cold:
"How do you want to help?"
Qin Gengyun said: "I have refined seventy high-quality first-grade pills these days. We will keep twenty for ourselves in case of emergency, and give the other fifty to Daoist Friend Mo to sell so that she can earn more spirit stones, but..."
Qin Gengyun paused and continued:
"If we take these pills to Dan Fu Building to sell, we should be able to sell them at a higher price. If we give them to Daoist Friend Mo, we will earn less spiritual stones. This is related to our family's income, so I would like to ask for your opinion."
Qiu Zhihe was stunned, her cherry lips slightly opened, and she murmured:
"Home……"
"Yes, you and I are already husband and wife, so we are naturally a family."
Qin Gengyun smiled and said, "Fellow Daoist Qiu, if you don't agree, then I will think of another way to help Fellow Daoist Mo. But don't worry, no matter what method I use to help her, I will get your consent and will never lie."
"Can."
After saying this, Qiu Zhihe stood up and walked quickly into the kitchen.
Seeing her agree, Qin Gengyun breathed a sigh of relief and then asked:
"Fellow Daoist Qiu, what are you doing?"
"Cook porridge." The answer came from the kitchen.
Qin Gengyun asked curiously, "Fellow Daoist Qiu, didn't you say you wouldn't cook today?"
"I said I wouldn't make breakfast! Why aren't you leaving?"
A cold voice came from the kitchen. Qin Gengyun smiled, stood up and said:
"Then I'll go out and buy breakfast, what do you want to eat?"
“No!”
Qin Gengyun shook his head and laughed, then went out to the alley to buy two bowls of beef noodles, then came back and shouted into the kitchen:
"Fellow Daoist Qiu, I bought some noodles. Please come out quickly or the noodles will clump together."
After a while, Qiu Zhihe finally came out of the kitchen, with a cold face, biting her lip, taking small steps, and walking to the table angrily and sitting down while the mountains and rivers were trembling.
She was like a cold and beautiful young woman who was angry with her husband.
Seeing Qin Gengyun looking at her with a smile, Qiu Zhihe got annoyed: "Don't look!"
"Okay, okay, I won't watch it."
Qin Gengyun quickly agreed and stopped staring at her. Qiu Zhihe then buried her head in eating noodles.
After they finished their breakfast, Qin Gengyun took fifty pills and said to Qiu Zhihe:
"Fellow Daoist Qiu, I'm going out to talk to Fellow Daoist Mo about selling pills. I'll be back soon."
Qiu Zhihe glanced at him and asked: "Did you bring the talisman paper given to you?"
Qin Gengyun smiled and patted his arms: "Don't worry, I always carry what you gave me."
Qiu Zhihe stopped looking at him, sat down on the bed and closed her eyes.
Qin Gengyun smiled, opened the door and went out.
After he left, a red light suddenly appeared on the naked Qiu Zhihe's body, and then turned into a white light.
The color of her long hair also changed accordingly, sometimes bright red, sometimes frosty white, and finally half fiery red and half snow-white.
The room was strangely filled with scorching heat and icy cold, making the space around Qiu Zhihe a little blurry.
After a long time, Qiu Zhihe opened her eyes.
"I have reached the fourth level of Qi training."
…
Qin Gengyun had just gone out and had not yet found Mo Xiaolan when he was stopped by someone.
It turned out that Yang Fengshan brought two men from the Spiritual Pill Shop and blocked Qin Gengyun outside the narrow rain alley, pointing at him and shouting:
"Qin Gengyun, I finally found you! Didn't expect it? What you did has been exposed!"
Qin Gengyun frowned slightly. Did the owner of the shop finally find out about the two hundred bags of Qingfeng Powder?
But Yang Fengshan sneered:
"Fellow Daoist Qin, you pretended to resign, but secretly stole the bronze furnace and sold it. This is really unkind. The owner of the shop ordered me to capture you and bring you back to the Lingdan Shop. You have a low level of cultivation, so in order to avoid suffering, don't resist."
