lead fades away

It took Qing Shi and Shen Chenzhou more than an hour to finish the dinner.When it was time to check out, Qingshi was about to order the Lingshi, but the shop clerk brought a fist-sized wine jar and presented it to Qingshi, claiming it was a New Year's gift for old customers in the shop.

"New brew?" Qing Shi took the wine jar and asked casually.

"Exactly." The store clerk replied with a smile, "If you like it, you should hurry up and taste it. This wine is not very easy to brew, and it is only sold in the first two months of the year, and it may not be available anytime in the future. gone."

"Okay, if I like it, I will definitely come over and buy a few more jars." Qing Shi put away the wine jars disapprovingly, paid for the spirit stone, and then left the Dengxian Tower with Shen Chenzhou.

After leaving Dengxian Tower, Shen Chenzhou begged Qingshi for this jar of gift wine.

"Anyway, you don't usually drink alcohol, why don't you give it to me." Shen Chenzhou said very directly.

"You don't like it, why do you want it?" Qing Shi wondered.

"My master!" Shen Chenzhou said, "A few days ago, I heard that Dengxianlou released a new wine. I was planning to buy it as a present for the master. Who knows that this wine is not available to everyone. You must get it first. This small wine jar given by Dengxian Tower is only willing to sell!"

"Do this again." Qing Shi pouted disapprovingly.It's not the first time that Dengxianlou has limited sales, but everyone loves this set, and thinks it's a matter of status and face to buy such limited products at a high price.

"You don't feel pain in your back when you stand and talk." Shen Chenzhou glared, "You are also a monk in the Foundation Establishment period. I can't even buy flower spirit stones, but you got them for no reason. Could it be that this immortal tower also knows that you have a strong background?"

"What kind of background is used, as long as you spend a lot of spirit stones in this fairy building every year like me, they will definitely prepare a wine jar for you!" Qing Shi rolled his eyes.

"...I know how rich you are." Shen Chenzhou gritted his teeth.

"Don't be jealous, making money is also a skill!" Qing Shi raised his head triumphantly, but he didn't take out the wine jar, and said instead, "Then I go back to buy this wine now, will they sell it?"

"It should be." Shen Chenzhou replied uncertainly.

"Go back and try." Qing Shi turned around immediately.

Back at Dengxian Tower, Qing Shi went directly to the counter to buy new wine.The shopkeeper behind the counter did not refuse. He only said that if this wine is for takeaway, it is limited to one jug, and each person can only sell it once a day. I hope the buyer will understand.

Qing didn't even ask the bottom line, and directly took out the spirit stone to buy a normal bottle of new wine.

After leaving Dengxian Tower again, Qingshi held the wine jar and complained, "Such a small jar of wine needs a high-grade spirit stone, his grandma is really black!"

"Who told you to buy it." Shen Chenzhou said helplessly, "If I had known it was so expensive, I wouldn't have missed it."

"I bought everything, remember to replenish the spirit stones for me." Qing Shi turned the wine jar into Shen Chenzhou's arms, "I only want top-grade spirit stones, don't fool me with ten middle-grade spirit stones!"

"Damn, where can I get you a high-grade spirit stone!" Although Shen Chenzhou stared, he didn't return the wine jar, quickly put it into his storage bag, and then said solemnly, "Keep the account. "

"Success, I won't kill you either. I'll make a profit of three per month. See how long you can hold it off." Qing Shi snorted coldly.

"It's hard to say." Shen Chenzhou chuckled, and then asked, "By the way, have you paid off the spirit stone that Yu Wang owed you?"

"He, he probably has to wait until after the baby is conceived to return me with the family support." Qing Shi curled his lips.

"The income of Plaything Hall should be pretty good." Shen Chenzhou was a little puzzled.

"No matter how much income he makes, he spends a lot. He tinkers with spirit tools all day long. The materials he wastes every year are enough to buy another toy hall, not to mention that there is a small fish tail in a oil bottle by his side." Qing Shi said indifferently. , "His debt, he will only owe more and more."

"Yu Wei has always been in charge of the Plaything Hall. He has a good talent in management." Shen Chenzhou said casually.

"Because Yu Wei is in charge of Plaything Hall, Yu Wang's debt will always be paid off." Qing Shi sneered.

"Is there such a thing as tricky?" Shen Chenzhou couldn't help raising his eyebrows, and then said again, "You don't want to let Yu Wang pay off the debt on purpose, do you? I remember that Yu Wang used the doll hall as a mortgage to get from you The spirit stone borrowed here."

"Hehe." Qing Shi smiled without answering, just said, "Just wait and watch the excitement."

"Sure, I want to see how you clean up that little fish's tail then." Shen Chenzhou shrugged.

"It's me who cleaned him up, it's him who cleaned up his big head." Qing Shi sneered.

"Yu Wang is just an elm head, if you don't beat it, you will never get it through." Shen Chenzhou sighed, "It's rare to be a good person."

"People are bullied by kindness." Qing Shi curled her lips disapprovingly, and then said, "By the way, you helped me pay attention to Xinyi's movements recently."

"What happened to her?" Shen Chenzhou asked alertly.

"It's hard to say, anyway, you pay attention to me first." Qingshi replied vaguely.

"She is just an unfamiliar white-eyed wolf, you should pay less attention to her in the future." Shen Chenzhou frowned.

——Even if I am willing to talk to her in the future, she may not dare to approach me.

Qing Shi shook his head with a smile, "Okay, just help me pay attention, don't take it as a big deal."

"Well, I see." Shen Chenzhou nodded.

Qing Shi and Shen Chenzhou parted ways after entering the inner gate, Shen Chenzhou returned to the first peak, and Qing Shi went to Han Shuo's valley.When he returned to Han Shuo's cave, Han Shuo was no longer there, only Wang Shuo was lying on the edge of the pool in boredom, sucking his spiritual energy.

"Yo, are you addicted?" Qing Shi walked up to Wang Shuo and patted his head.

"Is this water really undrinkable?" Wang Shuo raised his head, his tone full of unwillingness.

"If you are not afraid of death, then try it!" Qing Shi replied with a smile.

"Hmph!" Wangshuo snorted, and turned his head to the side.

"Okay, I won't tease you anymore." Qingshi turned his hand and took out a large plate, put a large piece of fresh spirit beast meat bought today, and pushed it to Wangshuo's mouth, "Eat first, finish eating Remember to go up and find me, I have something else to give you."

Wang Shuo still turned his head and ignored Qingshi, Qingshi didn't continue to coax it, turned around, walked along the slope into the stone room between the rock walls, and went directly to the alchemy room behind.

The alchemy room had obviously not been used for a long time, and the medicine cabinet inside and the alchemy furnace on the ground were covered with a thick layer of floating dust.Qingshi performed a dust-repelling technique to sweep away the floating dust, then checked the medicine cabinet, and saw that there were not many useful medicinal materials left in it, and most of the jade bottles containing the pills were empty, so he no longer hesitated, put The medicine cabinet and alchemy furnace were all stuffed into the storage bag, and then he directly used the water diversion formula to completely wash the entire alchemy room.

After cleaning, Qingshi put out the new medicine cabinet he brought from the small courtyard, and carefully checked each drawer to ensure that all the magic circles placed on it were intact.After finishing this, Qing Shi turned back to check the fire pit in the middle, and saw that the fire could not be induced inside, so he took out a thick white jade slab and covered it on top of the fire pit.

At this time, Wang Shuo also finished eating fresh meat, and followed up slowly, and asked curiously as soon as he entered the alchemy room, "What are you doing?"

"I'll refine the medicine for you." Qing Shi replied while taking out the stove, earthen pot and the herbs bought today.

Qingshi carefully put the herbs into the earthen pot, laying them out layer by layer, then put the earthen pot on the stovetop and moved it together with the stovetop to the white jade slab, and then poured water into the earthen pot, immersing all the herbs in the water .Then, Qingshi took out a low-grade spirit stone, put it into the mechanism on the side of the stove, lit the fire, and turned it into a red state.

"Soup?!" Wang Shuo was taken aback, turned around and wanted to run away.

"Yo, you know it!" Qing Shi quickly grabbed it, "Why run away, this is soup and not poison."

"Poison is better than it!" Wangshuo watched Qingshi waving his hand to close the stone door of the alchemy room, and complained aggrievedly, "Isn't everyone taking pills now? Why do you insist on making this difficult for me?" Did you drink the medicinal soup?"

"The elixir cost is too high. I have to find a way to clean up the erysipelas for you after eating it. It's so troublesome!" Qingshi opened Wangsuo, turned his head to observe the situation in the crock pot, and then took out a set of formation disks, which were in the elixir. The room is arranged.

"What are you doing again?" Wang Shuo was very puzzled.

"You'll know in a while." Qing didn't explain anything, took out the futon and sat down beside the stove after laying out the array, beckoned Wangshuo to his side, "Come, breathe with me."

"I just want to vomit when I see the decoction, but I don't want to take it." Wang Shuo muttered, but still went to Qingshi and squatted down.

Qingshi ignores Wangshuo's complaints, and concentrates on the fire and earthen pot.After about a cup of tea, the water in the crock finally boiled, and the steam with a strong smell of medicine floated up from the crock.

"Tuma." Qingshi ordered again.

This time Wang Shuo did not resist, took a deep breath of the medicinal fragrance, and closed his eyes.

Qing Shi raised her hand, and slowly stroked Wang Shuo's fur, using her spiritual power to help sort out the blood and meridians in its body.Wang Shuo quickly lay down on his stomach, while absorbing the medicine spirit in the water vapor, while enjoying the slight infiltration of spiritual power.

After more than an hour, the whole alchemy room was overflowing with steam from the medicinal soup, and the remaining clear water in the crock had already turned into a dark brown soup.

Qing Shi withdrew his spiritual power, took out a porcelain bowl that had been prepared, poured all the soup in the crock into the bowl, then patted Wang Shuo beside him, "Open your eyes, it's time to drink the medicine."

Wang Shuo reluctantly opened his eyes, looked at the brown soup in the porcelain bowl, and resisted again, "Can't I not drink it?"

"Be obedient, and I will guarantee you to reach the peak of Jindan within ten years." Qing Shi raised the porcelain bowl and handed it to Wang Shuo's mouth, "How?"

"Really?" Wang Shuo's eyes lit up.

"I don't tell lies." Qing Shi smiled.

Wang Shuo immediately opened his mouth and inhaled, sucking all the medicinal juice in the porcelain bowl into his stomach.

"Continue to exhale and perform exercises." Qing Shi touched Wang Shuo's back, and Wang Shuo squatted obediently, closing his eyes and performing exercises.

Seeing that Wang Shuo had settled down with the help of medicine, Qingshi stood up, disposed of the medicine residue in the earthen jar, took out another large jug-shaped jar and new herbs, filled it with water and put it on the stove.Soon, new water mist overflowed from the narrow mouth of the jug-shaped earthen jar.

Qingshi took out another low-grade spirit stone, put it in the spare spirit power absorbing device of the hearth, and then activated the array that had been set up before to ensure that the water mist in the alchemy room could not overflow.

After finishing all this, Qing Shi took a look at Wang Shuo who was in samadhi, got up and walked towards the door of the alchemy room.

After closing the door of the alchemy room again, Qingshi turned around and walked towards the stone room further inside, but after walking a few steps, familiar footsteps came from behind.Qing Shi turned around involuntarily, and asked suspiciously, "Didn't you say you would stay in the book hall for a few days?"

"I didn't find what I was looking for." It was Han Shuo who followed.

"I can't find it in the book hall?" Qing Shi said in a daze, "What exactly are you looking for?"

Han Shuo didn't answer right away, he was silent for a while before he opened his mouth and said, "Probably because I haven't thought about what I'm looking for."

"Sword cultivation skills in the transformation stage? It's really hard to find." Qing Shi nodded understandingly.

Han Shuo didn't continue this topic, but instead asked, "Can you make soup?"

"Well, I'm better at making this than alchemy." Qing Shi didn't deny it.

"Why do you make a decoction? It's better than a elixir?" Han Shuo asked suspiciously.

"Each has its advantages and disadvantages." Qing Shi said, "The decoction is not troubled by erysipelas, but it is bulky, difficult to store, and it is not easy to carry it with you. It must be eaten and boiled now, which is far less convenient than the elixir. However, the cost of the decoction is low. , the requirements for the herbs and brewing equipment used are not as high as that of the pill, and the most important life essence of the grass and trees will not be wasted-you came back early?"

"I came back when you poured medicine on Wangshuo." Han Shuo nodded.

"The taste of the decoction is not very good, I even tricked and coaxed him to drink it." Qing Shi shrugged, "If you are interested, I will boil a can for you to try someday."

"Okay." Han Shuo readily agreed.

Qingshi was stunned for a moment, and then laughed, "When the time comes, don't spit it out because it tastes bad."

"I'm not a child." Han Shuo disagreed.

"That's hard to say." Qing Shi turned around with a smile, and continued to walk towards the stone room, saying as he walked, "I just wanted to discuss something with you. I want to change the room inside into a bathroom. I don't know if you mind."

"Whatever you want." Han Shuo stepped up to follow, "But why did you choose this place as the bathroom?"

"There is a ready-made super spirit gathering array in that room. It would be a pity not to make good use of it. You also know that I rely on medicinal baths for a living." Qing Shi walked into the stone room, pointed to the tables and chairs by the wall, and said, " That's all I want to replace—er, what about that bed from last night?"

Seeing the empty ground, Qing Shi couldn't help but froze for a moment.

"I put it away." Han Shuo replied calmly.

—How much you like that bed!

Qingshi's head was full of black lines, and he didn't ask any more questions immediately, he just put away the tables, chairs and furniture in the corner, took out his own things and rearranged them.

Han Shuo stood silently at the door, until Qingshi cleaned up the whole stone room, and then asked, "This place has been converted into a bathroom, so how do we build the room below?"

"It is enough to add a wing room to the left of the main hall, and there is no need to build a second floor." Qingshi put the last bamboo couch, got up and replied, "I will tidy up the stone room outside later... Uh, sorry, I Forgot to set aside the room for your retreat."

"I retreat in the device room, you don't need to make any other preparations." Han Shuo walked to Qingshi and pulled him to sit on the bamboo couch, "From now on, it will be like this, what you want, what you want to do, Tell me everything, okay?"

"You're willing to listen to me, do I still feel bad?" Qingshi tilted her head and squinted at Han Shuo, "By the way, I spent a lot of spirit stones to buy herbs for Wangshuo, you don't plan to give them Some compensation?"

"There is a box in the utensil room, which contains high-grade spirit stones. You can get as many as you need." Han Shuo replied without hesitation.

"Don't feel bad if I take too much." Qing Shi immediately smiled and frowned.

"Heh." Han Shuo also bent the corners of his mouth, stretched out his hand to hug Qingshi on his lap, and stroked his waist and hips carefully, "Take it as your prostitution money, take as much as you think you are worth alright."

"Hmph, then I'll just take it all." Qingshi put his arms around Han Shuo's neck, jokingly rubbed his buttocks against the hard object under his body, and said with a smirk, "You can't think about that all the time." , that’s why you can’t read quietly in the library, right?”

"What am I thinking about, tell me?" Han Shuo asked back, untiing Qingshi's clothes without changing his expression.

Qingshi raised her neck, enjoying the heat of Han Shuo's palm caressing her skin, while admonishing him without sincerity. "Elder Han, indulgence will hurt your body."

"Don't you know there is a kind of exercise called double cultivation?" Han Shuo tore off Qingshi's trousers, turned over and pressed him on the bamboo couch.

"I really don't know how to cultivate both men and men." After indulgence, Qingshi leaned on Han Shuo's chest and couldn't help complaining.

"I don't know either." Han Shuo replied frankly.

--really!

Qing Shi lowered his head angrily, and bit Han Shuo hard on the chest.

"If you like to move your mouth, why don't you give me a bite." Han Shuo stretched out his hand and pinched Qingshi's buttocks, and at the same time shrugged his crotch up twice viciously.

Qingshi froze for a moment, but immediately smiled again, "Okay, I'll try it for you someday when I feel better."

"Hmph." Seeing Qingshi's reluctance, Han Shuo gave a cold snort and didn't press anymore, but he didn't take back his outstretched hand, and continued to knead Qingshi's buttocks like a pan jade.

Qing Shi was uncomfortable with him, but he was still thinking about Wang Shuo who was in meditation, and really didn't want to accompany Han Shuo to score twice.As soon as he thought about it, he remembered the small wine jar that Deng Xianlou gave him today, and immediately propped himself up, and reached out to touch the pile of collapsed clothes.

"What are you bothering about?" Han Shuo slapped Qing Shi on the buttocks.

"Get something." Qing Shi rummaged through the small wine jar from the treasure bag, and took it back to the couch, "When I went to Dengxianlou for dinner today, they gave this as a gift."

"Spiritual wine brewed by Dengxian Tower?" Han Shuo took the wine jar, then frowned and asked, "You went to ascend Xianlou? With whom?"

"Shen Chenzhou, I'm just such a wine and meat friend in the door." Qing Shi replied.

Han Shuo's expression was a little displeased, but he didn't say anything. He sat up from the couch with his arms in his arms, and waved his hand to open the mud seal of the wine jar. A strong aura immediately wafted across the room accompanied by the aroma of the wine. .

"Good wine." Han Shuo praised, then directly took a big sip from the wine jar, and quickly praised again, "Excellent wine."

"You like it? Then I'll go buy another jar tomorrow." Qingshi held Han Shuo's hand and let him take a sip into his own mouth, but he didn't taste the goodness, only felt that the aura was indeed abundant, It is not inferior to the feeling of eating Peiyuan Dan.

"Buy a few more jars." Han Shuo said, "Anyway, it's the Chinese New Year, so we have to prepare something to suit the occasion."

"You can't just prepare wine for Chinese New Year." Qing Shi shook his head and said, "By the way, do you still have to prepare red envelopes for rewarding disciples?"

"Who is the reward? I don't have any personal disciples." Han Shuo frowned, "Forget it, just watch and prepare."

"Then I'll prepare first. Even if I can't send it out during the Chinese New Year, I can save it until the opening of the Elder Hall next year as a meeting gift for the disciples who enter the hall." Qing Shi said while holding Han Shuo's hand again. Take a sip of the spiritual wine from Dengxian Tower.He always felt that the wine reminded him of something, but he couldn't grasp the flashing light for a while.

The two of them were chatting about the Chinese New Year when suddenly there was a long whistle from the alchemy room next to them, high-spirited and continuous.

"Wangshuo woke up." Qing Shi smiled.
