"Fellow Daoist Qin, are you satisfied with this house?"
Qin Gengyun took a rough look at the house, and Landlord Lin asked him.
Qin Gengyun looked around again. The area of this house was about 90 square meters, which was equivalent to two bedrooms and two living rooms in his previous life. It was much better than the house he rented now.
He asked the landlord Lin, "Fellow Daoist Lin, how much is the rent for this house?"
Landlord Lin said straightforwardly, "You are also an old tenant. I will give you a discount. Seven spirit stones a month, one deposit and three payments."
Qin Gengyun laughed and pointed to the house of the same size across the alley:
"Friend Lin, I heard someone say last time that the rent for the house across the street is four spirit stones a month. Did you get your broken bones on me?"
Qin Gengyun has been hanging around at the bottom of society for many years and has dealt with many unscrupulous businessmen. He knows that they never tell the truth.
However, what Qin Gengyun said about the rent of the house opposite being four spirit stones was also a lie, anyway, the main point was a conspiracy.
"Who the hell is talking nonsense? I just rented out the house across the street last month for six spirit stones. If I lie to you, I'll be struck by lightning!"
Landlady Lin swore and swore for a while, then seeing Qin Gengyun still looking at her with a smile, she rolled her eyes and chuckled:
"Fellow Daoist Qin, we have known each other for a while. How about this? Five Spiritual Stones a month. It can't be any cheaper!"
It is estimated that the five spirit stones are the bottom line of landlord Lin. Qin Gengyun stopped bargaining and said to landlord Lin:
"Friend Lin, please wait a moment. I'll bring my wife to have a look. If she's satisfied, we'll settle it."
"Okay, I'll wait for you here." Landlord Lin looked Qin Gengyun up and down, with envy on her heavily made-up face:
"Fellow Daoist Qin, you and your wife have a really good relationship. Unlike that bastard in my family, he never consults me before doing anything and acts as if I don't exist. Sigh!"
Ignoring the complaining landlord, Qin Gengyun hurried home, pushed the door open, and saw Qiu Zhihe sitting cross-legged in the bed.
Qin Gengyun said to her excitedly, "Fellow Daoist Qiu, I just went to see a big house. It's at the innermost part of the narrow rain alley. Come with me to take a look. If you are satisfied, we can rent it."
Qiu Zhihe opened her eyes and looked at Qin Gengyun calmly:
"Just decide."
After saying this, he closed his eyes and continued practicing.
Qin Gengyun had no choice but to walk to the bed and sit down, introducing them to her one by one:
"This house has a bedroom, a study, a reception room and a dining room outside, and a separate bathroom. You can take a bath in the tub comfortably in the future... Fellow Daoist Qiu, you should come with me to take a look."
Qiu Zhihe opened her eyes and looked at him coldly with her almond-shaped eyes.
"Uh, okay."
Qin Gengyun shut his mouth and tiptoed out the door.
When they reached the big house at the end of the narrow rain alley, Landlord Lin saw him coming back alone and asked in surprise:
"Fellow Daoist Qin, where is your wife?"
Qin Gengyun laughed: "My wife said it's all up to me."
Landlord Lin gave a thumbs up and said, "Fellow Daoist Qin's words are always on the line at home. He really knows how to control his wife!"
"It's okay, haha."
Qin Gengyun touched his chin and said to Landlord Lin:
"Friend Lin, I have rented this house."
"good!"
Next, they signed the lease and Qin Gengyun paid four months' rent, one month's rent as a deposit.
The small house he and Qiu Zhihe lived in now also had a deposit of one-third of the rent. He had just paid three months' rent last month, 80 spirit baht a month, and had 2 spirit stones 40 spirit baht left, which Landlord Lin put into the rent of this big house.
After paying the spirit stones, this two-bedroom, two-living-room house will become Qin Gengyun and Qiu Zhihe's new home.
Including his previous life, this was the first time Qin Gengyun lived in such a big house.
He was quite excited and returned to the hut again. At this time, Qiu Zhihe had finished his training and was cutting meat in the kitchen.
Today she bought that kind of top-quality spiritual meat again.
Qin Gengyun walked into the kitchen and said excitedly: "Fellow Daoist Qiu, I have rented that big house, let's move in now!"
Qiu Zhihe turned around and said calmly, "Wait until I finish cooking."
"Oh, okay."
Somehow, when he saw her calm appearance, the euphoria in Qin Gengyun's heart immediately disappeared.
Yes, I am only at the fourth level of Qi training, my total assets are less than one thousand spirit stones, and I still live in the narrow Rain Alley at the bottom.
What is there to be complacent about?
Thinking of this, he immediately calmed down, walked to the outer room, and sat cross-legged in front of the alchemy furnace.
There was still some first-grade spiritual herb left that Qiu Zhihe had given him, and it couldn't be wasted.
Two hours later, Qin Gengyun used up all the first-grade spiritual herbs and successfully refined eight first-grade spiritual pills.
At this time, a familiar rich aroma was wafting from the kitchen.
He looked back at the busy and pretty figure in the kitchen, smiled, cleaned the alchemy furnace, and started his practice again for the day.
Another hour passed.
[Cultivation: Qi training level 4, 2/1000]
[Skills: First-level Alchemist, 113/200]
[Available training points: 28]
The cultivation level increased by 2 points, and after the last increase, there are 27 cultivation points left.
Qin Gengyun thought for a moment and added all 27 points to the alchemist.
[Skills: First-level Alchemist, 141/200]
There are 59 points left to upgrade to the second level. Practice dual cultivation five times every night, and all the 15 points you get will be added to the Alchemist level. It will only take four days.
Once you reach the second-level alchemist level, you will be able to refine high-quality Bingqing Pills and try to see if you can remove some of the poison that blocks the spiritual field in your body and improve the efficiency of your practice.
At the same time, he would refine more high-quality second-grade elixirs and sell them to earn money to buy spiritual marrow and some simple protective magical instruments.
I also have to buy clothes and jewelry for Qiu Zhihe, and everything she likes, as long as I can afford it.
I just don’t know what Qiu Zhihe’s current level as a spiritual plant master is. Can she cultivate high-quality second-grade spiritual herbs?
At this time, Qiu Zhihe came out with a pot of fragrant stew and said lightly:
"Have a meal."
"Okay!"
Qin Gengyun agreed, and the two sat down to eat.
"Fellow Daoist Qiu, this broth is even more fragrant today!"
Qin Gengyun took a bite and praised it repeatedly. Qiu Zhihe glanced at him:
"Move after eating."
"Okay, then..."
Qin Gengyun paused, and finally asked:
"I should be able to advance to the second-level alchemist in the near future. Fellow Daoist Qiu, can you cultivate second-level spiritual herbs? It's okay. If you can't for the time being, I will go buy some spiritual herbs."
As soon as she finished speaking, Qiu Zhihe took out a bunch of flowers and plants from somewhere, red, green, and blue, and placed them on the table.
"Wolf Spirit Thousand-leaf Grass, Three-leaf Green Ganoderma, Bone Spirit Fruit, Water Spirit Lotus Seed, Jade and Green Ivy..."
Qin Gengyun's eyes almost popped out of his head as he stared at Qiu Zhihe blankly:
"There are so many second-grade spiritual herbs, and their quality is so high. Fellow Daoist Qiu, when did you cultivate them?"
Qiu Zhihe held the bowl with both hands, took a sip of the soup, licked the chopped green onion on the corner of her mouth with her tongue, and snorted softly:
"I've had it for a long time. I've been waiting for you for a long time and you still haven't reached the second level. I can't put it down anymore. You're so slow."
