Chapter 289: It's better to do it now than to wait for a day
A light snow in the early morning covered the Shengjing city, accompanied by a cold fog, making it hazy.
At this time, in the east wing of the Wei family villa, the originally closed door was pushed open by a delicate jade hand.
Yuan Caiwei, holding the spiritual stone containing the origin of the holy weapon, came to her brother Yuanchen's room and stood at the door, hesitating for a long time.
At this moment, she suddenly understood what Yan Shuyi said. The reason why her father was unwilling to try this method was that he felt that if the result was bad, he would not be able to bear it at all, because she felt the same way at this moment.
But what the judge said was right. It was unfair to blame Yuan Chen so harshly and attribute everything to his lack of effort.
So after thinking for a long time, she reached out and knocked on the door.
After a long time, the door was opened, and Yuan Chen appeared with obvious dark circles under his eyes: "Ah... Sister, good morning."
Seeing this scene, Yuan Caiwei stared at him for a long time.
Yuan Chen persisted for a while, then took out a vernacular novel from under the cotton pad behind the desk: "I finally got out of the mountain, I just want to relax, please don't scold me, sister."
"You can't stay up all night, right? It's not like we're going back tomorrow."
"Forehead……"
Yuan Chen found that Yuan Caiwei was not angry, and couldn't help but narrow his eyes: "It has to be my brother-in-law. He obviously lives somewhere else, so he shouldn't be able to spank her, but he can still threaten my sister so that she doesn't dare to be violent."
Yuan Caiwei listened to his mumbling and thought, is that a threat? That's clearly a reward...
"Sister, why did you come to see me so early?"
"Since you are bored, I want to ask you for help with something."
"?"
Yuan Caiwei took out the spirit stone she got from Yan Shuyi yesterday and said, "Use your Dan Qi to help me refine the energy in this spirit stone."
Yuan Chen took the spirit stone, played with it in his hand for a while, and then sat on the cushion.
Although he didn't know what was sealed in this spirit stone, Yuan Chen would never refuse his sister's request, so the Dan Qi began to surge between his arms.
As the Dan Qi was infused, the golden light in the spirit stone began to slowly overflow, like curling smoke rising outwards.
Looking at this scene, Yuan Caiwei couldn't help but narrow her eyes slightly.
In the sight, the golden light stood in the void, floating around as if aimlessly, and soon it gradually moved towards Yuan Caiwei.
The daughter of Danzong took half a step back, frowned slightly, and urged him to hurry up in a low voice.
Yuan Chen did not dare to delay. A brilliant light surged from his body, wrapping up the golden glow and then leading it towards himself.
The golden glow was pulled and changed its direction, turning into a thin silk thread that was narrow in the front and wide in the back. It slowly floated towards Yuan Chen's eyebrows and began to circle around his forehead, as if testing him.
After a while, Yuan Chen suddenly let out a sigh of relief: "Sister, this thing is a little difficult to refine."
"If you work hard these few days, I promise that I won't let you read the storybooks in my free time."
"real?"
"When have I ever lied to you?"
After Yuan Caiwei finished speaking, she walked out the door, leaving Yuan Chen alone in the room to try to refine it.
The master's sister said yesterday that refining the original power is not so easy and one should not be too anxious, so she did not tell Yuan Chen whether that represented whether he could control the holy weapon.
However, although she did not see any results, she felt a little relaxed in her heart, because although that strand of original power was not very close to him, it did not reject him.
Yuan Caiwei exhaled a breath of cold air and saw Yan Shuyi standing in the corridor. He turned around and looked at her after seeing her leave.
Upon seeing this, the daughter of Danzong bowed slightly and said good morning, "Sister", which made Xiaojianzhu couldn't help but squint her eyes.
She always calls me sister, always calls me sister. I’m almost used to it.
"Sister Jianzhu got up so early."
"Did you give the original power yesterday to Yuan Chen?"
"Um."
"What was the result?"
Yuan Caiwei glanced at Yuan Chen's room and said, "I didn't see any rejection. I think the result should be good. I will repay my sister's kindness soon."
Yan Shu also knew that she was talking about medicines that would not harm the body and medicines that would not hurt after taking them, and his eyes could not help but glance to the side: "Spiritual Sword Mountain has been unstable these days. This way, if I encounter risks in the future, I will have pills to protect myself."
Yuan Caiwei couldn't help but pursed her red lips after hearing this, thinking to herself, sister, you're just lying, this can't protect me, it's clearly used to break my virginity.
Yan Shuyi didn't care what she thought. The pill she wanted, which was not harmful to her body but could relieve the pain in her waist and abdomen, was meant to protect herself.
As for the pain-reducing pill, that was something Yuan Caiwei was willing to make for her, not something she begged for.
"I asked the servants in the other courtyard to prepare some porridge for you. Sister Caiwei, go and have some."
Yuan Caiwei raised her head and said, "Sister Jian, will you have breakfast with me?"
Yan Shuyi stepped out of the corridor on tiptoe: "I haven't had a good appetite recently, so I plan to take advantage of the early morning to go out for a walk."
"Then I'll accompany my sister."
"?"
Soon, Yuan Caiwei followed Yan Shuyi, Ding Yao and Zhuo Wanqiu to the door of Wuliu Trading Company, thinking that it was really difficult for sisters to open up to each other.
Ji You slept well last night. Apart from the chill in his waist and abdomen, he felt relaxed and happy overall.
And Fengzhou received a letter this morning saying that it had started snowing again recently and the official road was frozen three feet thick. Fortunately, most of the Snow Demon Stones were transported back during the sunny days a few days ago and stored in the warehouse.
Ji You wrote back to them, asking them to release the Snow Demon Stones gradually, maintaining the current high price while trying to sell them all out before the ice and snow melted.
In fact, after Snow Demon Stones continued to appear in Qingyun through various channels in Fengzhou, some people had begun to speculate that he did it deliberately.
However, in the minds of immortal cultivators, such calculations are all trivial chores, and compared with seeking immortality, they are simply a waste of life.
But no one took this as a satire, because until now people still didn't know exactly why Fang Jincheng was imprisoned, Peng Yu was expelled from the hospital, and the noble family returned empty-handed after going to Shengjing.
After returning the letter to Fengzhou, Ji You came to the tea pavilion under the green pines, constantly breathing in the spiritual energy between heaven and earth.
At this moment, the spiritual energy was flowing into his body along with his broken spiritual essence and being mixed into the burning spiritual fire.
The raging fire continued to flow in his body, surging with the pull of his breath, burning his body from the inside out.
The hot breath also caused his body temperature to rise continuously in an instant, so once the drifting snowflakes approached him, they would be burned into a puff of white smoke with a crackling sound and float into the air.
The four girls who came from the Wei family's villa were standing under the eaves in the backyard, watching this scene quietly.
Yuan Caiwei's expression was a little surprised, with her red lips slightly parted.
No one knew whether Danzong knew about the Dongping Mountains, but Yuan Caiwei did not know.
So she didn't know that Ji You had killed Bu Qirong of Yingtian Realm under siege, nor did she know that he had caused internal injuries to Elder Fang of Wujiang Realm.
When the noble families gathered in Shengjing to question Ji You through Tianshu Academy, Yuan Caiwei was actually worried for the whole night. Later, she heard that the matter was left unresolved and many big families went to the northern border to get the spirit stones themselves.
She was naturally delighted, but she also had the same doubts as everyone else, and it was not until this moment that she vaguely understood something.
She was not a cultivator, but she could still feel the pressure that made her heart tremble.
This feeling of oppression was the same as the one she felt when her mistress's sister was jealous, but the feeling was different.
The pressure from the Little Master of Lingjian Mountain came from top to bottom and from inside to outside, as if Mount Tai was pressing down, but Ji You's pressure came from the bottom of his heart, as if it was an instinctive fear.
Others who were surprised included Ding Yao and Zhuo Wanqiu.
They had seen Ji You kill members of the Bu family with his sword, but they had never known where Ji You's combat power, which was far beyond his realm, came from. This was the first time they saw him practicing.
"What kind of practice is this, Master?"
"Continuously shine your light to calcify your body."
Yan Shuyi looked at Ji You and whispered, her slender and curled eyelashes trembling slightly.
She had seen Ji You's strange way of practicing a long time ago, and had a vague judgment in her mind.
The lower three realms are about refining the body and building the foundation, and after the lower three realms are completed, they form spiritual essence. The main focus of immortal cultivators is to comprehend the way of heaven.
But Ji You seemed to be able to continue practicing the lower three realms, and did not lose his close connection with his physical body due to the formation of spiritual essence.
I think he has been repeating this process since he entered the holy land of the sages, which is why his level of enlightenment has remained at Tongxuan, but his physical combat power is comparable to Wujiang.
At this moment, Ji You let out a cry of pain and his body began to tremble continuously.
And with this tremor, the breath in his body began to make the muscles all over his body subconsciously tense, gradually stretching the lines of his clothes.
The part blocked by the clothes could not be seen, but the exposed forearm revealed an energy as strong as a full moon and a heavy bow. Yuan Caiwei and Yan Shuyi's eyes became gradually solemn, and even Ding Yao clenched her fists.
After a while, as the heat gradually dissipated, Ji You slowly opened his eyes, and saw a row of pretty faces staring at him eagerly, with a hint of confusion in their eyes.
After thinking for a moment, Ji You understood that these four girls had seen him practicing body training.
However, it would be fine if Yan Shuyi and Yuan Caiwei were in trouble, but why did Ding Yao and Zhuo Wanqiu also look nervous?
Ji You stood up from the tea pavilion and walked towards them on the stone path: "Where is Yuanchen?"
"My brother is practicing in the other courtyard of Miss Wei Rui's home."
"I cooked porridge with dried scallops and fish maw this morning, but this kid really didn't enjoy it."
As Ji You was speaking, he saw Yan Shuyi staring at his arm seriously.
As if noticing his gaze, Yan Shuyi looked up at him, then went to the dining table with a cold and arrogant look.
Ji You didn't know what she was planning, so he walked to the kitchen and served the porridge: "Kuang Cheng said he wants to make rice cakes today, do you want to go with me later?"
Ding Yao couldn't help but straighten up: "Sir, how are rice cakes made?"
"It uses the rice paste ground last time, steams it in a steamer, and then beats it with a wooden mallet."
“…”
After breakfast, under the light snow, Ji You took Ding Yao and Wei Rui to Kuang Cheng's residence.
Wei Rui came early to help. When she saw Ji You come in, she immediately stood up to greet him. However, she found that her sister Yan was not there, and a hint of confusion appeared in her eyes.
Kuang Cheng also turned around at this time and asked: "Where are Fairy Yan and Miss Yuan?"
"They said they were going shopping together, but they were being so mysterious. I don't know what they were going to do. Anyway, I feel like I'm the only outsider in my backyard now."
"Isn't it a good thing for Master Ji to have a good relationship between the sisters?"
Ji You pursed his lips and said, "That's what I said, but I still feel a chill."
At the same time, in a herbal medicine shop owned by Sister Yong'an, Yan Shuyi, with a veil on her face, was watching Yuan Caiwei picking and choosing from a counter filled with herbs, and she also learned to pick up a few and smell them.
The mystery of Danzong's elixirs lies not in the rarity of the ingredients, but in the alchemy technique, so the ingredients they use can also be bought in Shengjing.
Yan Shu also did not understand alchemy, nor did he know what the effects of these herbs were. After looking around for a while, he lost interest and just watched Yuan Caiwei quietly prepare all the herbs according to the recipe.
Afterwards, the two of them put the herbs into a storage device and returned to the Wei family's villa along the white Yong'an Avenue.
After watching Ji You's body training today, they all felt that elixirs were necessary...
The two walked from the front yard to the back yard, chose a room in the corner, opened the door, and cleaned it a little.
Yuan Caiwei then took out an alchemy furnace and set it up in the center of the room.
As an alchemist, Yuan Caiwei, like Yuan Chen, always carries an alchemy furnace with them. After the incident in Qiling, the refugees were infected with the plague, and Yuan Chen also used the alchemy furnace he carried with him to refine pills.
However, alchemy is not that quick, especially for the Alchemy Sect, which has always been striving for perfection.
After the furnace was set up, Yuan Caiwei placed a piece of black charcoal under the furnace.
This is different from the charcoal fire used by ordinary people. It is specially made by the Dan Sect and is used for refining pills. Just one piece is enough to support the production of the pills.
Yuan Caiwei ignited the black charcoal, then turned to look at Yan Shuyi: "On the first day, we need to warm up the furnace until the temperature is right. On the second day, we will use it to refine the herbs. On the third day, we will combine the furnaces for smelting. On the fourth day, we will use the alchemy hand to remove the toxicity. On the fifth day, we will refine it into a pill."
Yan Shuyi stared at the alchemy furnace for a long time: "So it takes four or five days to make just one pill?"
"yes."
"What about the other one?"
After hearing this, Yuan Caiwei said softly: "It will only take six or seven days, and I will be able to gather all the elixirs that Sister Jianzhu wants."
Yan Shuyi glanced at her and said, "But you said yesterday that the two pills would take about the same amount of time."
"The temperature and time for alchemy are fixed and cannot be extended or shortened, but if two furnaces are used together, the time can overlap and be used."
"I see……"
Yuan Caiwei watched him leave, then took out a medicine box and pinched out a black pill from it.
She had learned how to take the pain-free pill a long time ago, and she would carry it with her every time she came to Shengjing...
Although the young master of Lingjian Mountain is very strict, what if something unexpected happens?
Therefore, this time she saved the time to refine another pill.
Yan Shuyi then left the Wei family villa and went to Kuang Cheng. When he opened the gate, he saw Ji You and Kuang Cheng pounding rice cakes. He looked around and fixed his eyes on Ji You.
The finished rice cakes will be divided into several portions. As usual, one portion will be sent to the orphanage, the rest will be kept for himself, one portion will be given to Ji You, and a few will be given to colleagues in the Sixianjian.
The portion prepared for Ji You was larger than the last time, because in Kuang Cheng's opinion, Brother Ji's yard was becoming more and more lively.
Maybe even if I make it again in the future, it won’t be enough for Brother Ji’s family to eat.
Ji You was putting the rice cakes into a basket and preparing to bring them into the house when he saw Yan Shuyi coming in without him noticing: "Why are you alone? Didn't you and Yuan Caiwei go out together?"
Yan Shuyi looked at him and said, "Sister Caiwei went back after shopping. I had nothing to do, so I thought of coming to chat with Sister Ruier about family matters."
Wei Rui, who was cutting rice cakes, couldn't help but look up, with a complicated look in her eyes.
There was no point in chatting casually. As soon as Sister Yan entered the room, her eyes were glued to Master Ji.
Ji You looked at Yan Shuyi with curiosity: "You two have been out together for so long, what did you buy?"
“I didn’t buy anything.”
"Strange..."
Ji You divided the rice cakes in the basket, put them into oil paper bags and handed them to Yan Shuyi: "This portion is for us."
Yan Shu also took it, and then watched Ji You divide the other portions. He held her slender little hand and walked out: "Lao Kuang, I'm going back first. Don't buy winter wine for the festival. I'll bring you a jar tomorrow."
Kuang Cheng raised the gavel and turned back when he heard the voice: "Brother Ji, do you have winter wine at home?"
"It was sent by Lao Qiu and his friends. It's at the post station. I haven't had time to pick it up yet."
"Then I'll trouble you, Brother Ji."
Ji You nodded, holding her little hand and walked out.
Yan Shuyi was obediently led away by him and followed all the way back to Wuliu Trading Company.
The stove in the room had not yet burned out, so Ji You filled it with firewood and then used spiritual energy to ignite it.
Xiao Jianzhu put the rice cakes he brought back on the cabinet, sat down next to Ji You, and then took off his shoes and socks.
The white and tender jade feet with peach pink dots were placed one by one on the footrest close to the stove, and were crystal clear in the firelight.
When her feet were a little warmer, Yan Shuyi found that Ji You was looking at her, and a trace of confusion appeared in her beautiful eyes.
After a few breaths, Ji You moved closer to her.
Yan Shuyi blinked her eyes slightly, and couldn't help but open her red lips slightly, and probed with her tongue.
But just as the tip of her tongue stretched out a little and lay between her teeth, she discovered that the stranger's target was not her mouth, but her neck.
Then, a burst of warm breath sprayed down her neck, causing the young master of Lingjian Mountain to dodge back.
She was already accustomed to being close to Ji You, and she often sat in his arms and whispered in his ears, but the breath just now made her feel tingling and a little bit want to cry.
Ji You raised his head with doubt, and suddenly saw Yan Shuyi's sticking out tongue, so he lowered his head and covered her lips with it. With a sound of "tsk tsk", the pair of snow-white feet curled up on the pedals.
He just smelled a faint fragrance of medicinal herbs, which was a bit strange, but when he thought that Yuan Caiwei was living with her now, he didn't think it was strange.
Ever since the Yuan siblings came, he and Yan Shuyi had few opportunities to get close.
Of course there are jealous people watching, and the same goes for him and Yuan Caiwei.
If this continues, continuing life will be an impossible task.
Ji You thought for a long time, and seeing that there was no one around, he hooked his lips and tongue around Yan Shuyi's slender waist and legs, picked her up gently, and planned to go into the bedroom to have sex today.
But just as he was about to take a step, he saw Yan Shu, who was being kissed, open his eyes slightly, and sword energy whistled behind him.
Feeling the rising breath, Ji You sat back and slapped her perky butt, causing Xiao Jian to open his mouth and bite his tongue.
I must practice well in the future.
What Kuang Cheng said was false. Without cultivation, a good body is of no use at all.
