lead fades away

Han Shuo didn't come to Tiancheng once or twice, he was very familiar with some etiquette and habits here, and he didn't ask others to ask any more questions. He took Qing Shi and Wang Shuo out of the Winter Palace of Xuanzi Mausoleum, and went straight to Changxin Palace in the west of the city.The attendants in the Winter Palace also seemed to be ahead of the orders from above. When they saw Han Shuo going out, they only saluted and greeted thoughtfully, neither obstructing nor asking questions.

When they arrived at Changxin Palace, although the disciples of Xuantian Immortal Realm guarding the gate stopped him, Han Shuo did not hide his cultivation, and the disciples guarding the gate did not dare to neglect him.After learning of Han Shuo's identity, he even called a servant in the palace to guide Han Shuo, and sent him to the guest house where Yao Zhihuan and others were temporarily staying.

Knowing that Yao Zhihuan and the others were indeed in the guest house and they were not arranged in any messy place, Han Shuo felt relieved, but it was hard to pass through, so he followed Yao Zhihuan for a walk.Seeing Han Shuo coming, Yao Zhihuan was very flattered, and hurriedly entertained him with all his heart. Han Shuo, who was going to just take a look and leave, had to sit for a while longer.As a result, this sitting attracted monks from other immortal sects around the guest courtyard to chat and ask for advice, which made Han Shuo's face black from the noise.In the end, it was Yao Zhihuan who noticed that Han Shuo's complexion was not good. Fearing that he would explode on the spot, he found an excuse to dismiss the monks from other sects who came to visit, and personally sent Han Shuo and his party out of Changxin Palace.

After leaving Changxin Palace, Han Shuo suddenly said to Qingshi, "Do you want to go shopping in the street?"

"Ah?" Qingshi was taken aback, then tilted his head and said, "Is there anything to visit?"

"The Fangshi on Tiancheng North Street is still very famous in the upper world." Han Shuo said.

"Spending money—" Qing Shi pouted.

"If you like something, I will naturally pay for it for you, and you don't need to pay for the spirit stone yourself." Han Shuo said calmly.

"Then go." Qing Shi reluctantly nodded.

Han Shuo glanced at him, turned around and walked north.

Because tomorrow is the double cultivation ceremony, there are a lot of guests coming to congratulate, and the flying of imperial weapons is forbidden in Tiancheng, so there are quite a lot of people on the street, and the bustling place is very lively.Although the Xuantian Immortal Realm will inevitably send more people to patrol and guard, but there is not much to see on the surface. Even if you see people wearing Xuantian Immortal Realm costumes, they are mostly low-level disciples who refine Qi and build foundations. Accompanying the monks of the Outer Sect means coming and going in a hurry, not as leisurely as other passers-by on the street.

Han Shuo knew that Qingshi had been taking care of Wang Shuo's body recently and had a great demand for herbal medicines, so he planned to take him to those famous herbal medicine shops first.But the two of them and the beast were walking towards a herbal medicine shop, when a sound suddenly appeared above their heads——

"Han Zhenjun!!!"

The real king's cry made everyone in the street turn their heads.There is no other reason. Although high-level female cultivators are all called fairies in the same way, the honorific titles of high-level male cultivators vary according to their specific cultivation.The golden elixir stage is the Taoist monarch, the Yuanying stage is the immortal monarch, and the transformation god stage is the true emperor.This call of the True Monarch was undoubtedly announcing the arrival of a cultivator who transformed himself into a god on the street.

But Han Shuo has restrained his spiritual sense and concealed his cultivation at this moment, and there are not many people who know him. Although this "Han Zhenjun" made the people in the street look around, it was the one who really focused on him. Very few.But Wang Shuo, who was following him at the moment, was really eye-catching. Many people immediately turned their attention to Han Shuo and Qing Shi when they saw this unidentifiable spirit beast.It's just that not everyone can afford to offend cultivators who transform themselves into gods. Even if these people want to make friends, they don't dare to approach them rashly.

The crisp "Han Zhenjun" was obviously coming from the girl's mouth, and the moment it was called out, Han Shuo looked up at the source of the voice - a small window in the nearby restaurant - with a dark face.A scene of a girl with double-haired temples being dragged away from the window clearly flashed behind the window, and Fairy Epiphyllum's voice sounded right next to Han Shuo's ear, "I ask Han Zhenjun to forgive me for being naughty."

"It seems to be the little girl I saw this morning." Qing Shi also said beside him, "Do you want to go up and say hello?"

"Go." Han Shuo was impatient with the increasingly eager eyes of the people around him, so he nodded in agreement with Qingshi's suggestion, and walked into the restaurant.

As soon as he entered the restaurant, the waiter came forward to greet him habitually, Han Shuo ignored him and went upstairs, Qing Shi took out a low-grade spirit stone and threw it over, the waiter immediately stopped following with a wink Go up and harass.

The epiphyllum fairy in the restaurant also sensed Han Shuo's arrival, and took the initiative to open the door of the private room, and welcomed Han Shuo and his party in. At the same time, she apologized again, "I don't understand the rules, and I'm really sorry for disturbing Han Zhenjun—Jade, Hurry up and apologize to Han Zhenjun!"

"I'm sorry." Jade bowed down with an aggrieved face.

Han Shuo sat down on the chair without even looking at Fei Cui, and asked Fairy Epiphyllum, "Why are you here?"

"There will be an auction in Penglai Pavilion in a while, I'm going to go and have a look." Fairy Epiphyllum knew that Han Shuo didn't care about it, so she quickly gave Jade a color, told her to be more honest, and then sat across from Han Shuo, "It's just the time." It was still a while before we got there, and it happened that Fei Cui was hungry for food in the Immortal Tower, so I brought her in to sit and kill some time."

——This is also Dengxian Tower?

Qingshi subconsciously looked at the furnishings in the private room, and it was indeed somewhat similar to the one in Xianchumenfang City.

"What are you selling?" Han Shuo raised his eyebrows and asked.

"Look for yourself." Fairy Epiphyllum took out a jade slip and pushed it in front of Han Shuo.

Han Shuo took the jade slip, probed into his consciousness, and quickly passed the jade slip to Qingshi calmly, "You also have a look."

Han Shuo's move made Epiphyllum Fairy startled, but she immediately returned to normal, picked up the teacup in front of her, and drank slowly.

Qingshi took the jade slips, and used his spiritual sense to roughly select among the pile of auction items recorded in the jade slips. He quickly shook his head and put the jade slips back on the table, "There is nothing of value."

"How come, those things are obviously worth a lot." Jade couldn't help retorting.

"Value and price are not the same thing." Qing Shi "kindly" taught, "For example, if I pack you up and sell you, at least it is the price of a middle-grade spiritual weapon, but you can be as expensive as a middle-grade spiritual weapon." Is it the same as a weapon for self-defense? Obviously not."

Emerald blushed immediately, and Fairy Epiphyllum couldn't help coughing lightly, "Han Zhenjun——"

"Qing Shi always speaks like this, just get used to it." Han Shuo said unabashedly.

"It's easy to offend people by always talking like this." Fairy Epiphyllum shook her head helplessly, but didn't continue to care.The quarrel between the two juniors is not worthy of someone of her status to intervene, and the relationship between Qingshi and Han Shuo is obviously not as simple as that of seniors and juniors. Even if she really wants to save face for her apprentice, she has to think twice before acting.

"Thank you for your teaching." Qing Shi bowed and saluted without hesitation.

Han Shuo returned the jade slip to Fairy Epiphyllum, and asked casually, "What do you fancy?"

"That large set of prohibition circle." Fairy Epiphyllum didn't hide it either.

"That?" Han Shuo couldn't help being taken aback.A magic circle of that size is usually only used by sects of a considerable size. Why did Fairy Epiphyllum buy it for a casual cultivator?

"I'm going to establish a sect." Epiphyllum Fairy replied indifferently, while Jade behind her showed a proud expression.

Han Shuo was stunned for a moment, then said seriously, "Have you thought about it?"

"En." Epiphyllum Fairy nodded, "I know this is not an easy task, and it is impossible to accomplish it overnight, but this is a thought I have had for a long time. If I don't let it go, I will inevitably be unwilling and disturb my state of mind."

"Since you have thought it through clearly, then I won't say much." Han Shuo nodded, clasped his fists to Fairy Epiphyllum, and said very seriously, "In the future, you will get what you wish, and Han will be the first to visit to congratulate you. .”

"If that day really comes, I will also sweep the couch to welcome you." Fairy Epiphyllum smiled slightly, and bowed to return the gift.

"I will." Han Shuo said with certainty, then turned his head and glanced downstairs, seeing that the crowd outside had calmed down again, he got up and said goodbye to Fairy Epiphyllum, "I still have something to do, so I won't go to Penglai with you." Court."

"Han Zhenjun, please go ahead." Fairy Epiphyllum also stood up and sent Han Shuo and his party out of the private room.

After leaving the restaurant, Han Shuo asked Qingshi again, "You really don't want to go to the auction in Penglai Pavilion?"

"The auction is a slaughterhouse, only those who want to be knifed will go there." Qing Shi pouted.

"...Forget it if you don't go." Han Shuo was obviously a little depressed, and he stopped talking to Qing Shi, and walked into a herbal medicine shop.

——It’s not good to help you save Lingshi!

Qing Shi shrugged and led Wang Shuo to follow.

There were not many customers in the herbal medicine shop, and the samples displayed were very ordinary.But Qingshi saw that Han Shuo had to give him flower spirit stones today, so he restrained himself and picked out the big ones.With such a choice, he really found something interesting from a pile of mixed seeds in the corner.

"How do you sell these seeds?" Qingshi asked immediately.

"Ten pieces of low-grade spirit stones, one or two." The store clerk replied a little unhappy.Seeing that Han Shuo's cultivation was unpredictable, and he was accompanied by such a rare spiritual pet as Wang Shuo, he thought that this must be a big customer, but after serving him attentively for a long time, he didn't look at anything with a high cultivation level, but the little disciples around him were all staring at him. Selling spiritual seeds worthless.

"Is that all?" Qing Shi asked.

"Yes." The shop assistant became more and more unhappy.Whose herbal medicine shop would deliberately sell spirit seeds mixed up? It's not because of a mistake.The reason why it is put up for sale is that the stingy boss of his family is unwilling to invite experts to distinguish and classify it, and feels that it is a waste to throw it away.

"I want them all." Qingshi stood up and said to the shop assistant.

——All you need is only a hundred low-grade spirit stones.

The store clerk was depressed, but he didn't dare to complain on the surface. After all, Han Shuo's cultivation was suppressed there. Even if he didn't spend a piece of Lingshi and just came in to have a look, it would be a small store face for them.

The store clerk quickly packed up the spiritual seeds that Qingshi needed and handed them to Qingshi.Qingshi didn't ask for Lingshi from Han Shuo, and paid the bill directly out of his own pocket.Han Shuo didn't pay any attention to him—just like what the store clerk said, Han Shuo also felt that there were too few spirit stones, and it wasn't worth his shot at all.

After getting the Spirit Seed, Qingshi planned to ask Han Shuo to change the store, but before the two of them could go out, a group of low-level disciples from Qi Refining and Foundation Building poured in.

Neither Qingshi nor Han Shuo cared about these people.Today's Tiancheng is full of guests, and there are countless low-level disciples like them who go out with their elders to increase their knowledge.But when the two were standing at the door waiting for the group to leave, one of the little girls called out in surprise, "Uncle Yan, why are you here?"

Qingshi was startled, turned his head to look, and then laughed, "Nephew Xuan, why do you still have to call me uncle?"

The girl who greeted Qingshi was Xuan Lin who had been to Xiantrumen during Han Shuo's God Transformation Ceremony.Seeing that Qingshi still remembered her, Xuan Lin replied with a smile, "I didn't expect to see Master Yan again so soon. Master Yan also came to participate in my great-uncle's double cultivation ceremony?"

"Obviously." Qing Shi shrugged, but did not introduce Han Shuo's identity to her.

"Junior Sister Xuan, these two are..." A young female cultivator next to her couldn't help interjecting.A few chats between Xuan Lin and Qing Shi attracted the eyes of several other low-level monks, and these eyes quickly moved from Qing Shi to Wang Shuo and Han Shuo.

"This is Yan Qingshi, a disciple of Xianchumen, and this is..." Xuan Lin glanced at Han Shuo hesitantly, feeling a little familiar, as if she had seen it somewhere before, but she couldn't remember it for a while, so she had to look at Han Shuo. Turning to Qingshi, I hope he will take the initiative to introduce.

But Han Shuo didn't have the patience to welcome and send them off with a group of juniors like them. He immediately unleashed some coercion, which shocked the group of low-level disciples so that they couldn't stand upright. The two with the lowest cultivation level even knelt down. on the ground.

"Sorry, we'll talk another day." Qing Shi shrugged at the bloodless Xuan Lin without sincerity, turned around, and followed Han Shuo out of the store.

After leaving the herbal medicine shop, Han Shuo asked, "Do you know that girl?"

"During your God Transformation Ceremony, she and the Xuan family came to our Xianchumen." Qingshi replied, "I learned from her that Xuanziling Xuanxianjun wants to practice double cultivation with others."

Han Shuo stopped asking about this matter, and instead asked about the pile of spiritual seeds that Qingshi bought just now, "What's so special about those spiritual seeds?"

"I don't know yet." Qing Shi said, "I just saw that some of them seemed to have mutated for some reason, just like the spiritual grains I made for our Xiantrumen, so I plan to go back and try to plant them. —It’s not much money anyway.”

"You like such strange things." Han Shuo frowned.

"It's interesting to be weird! Life is long and boring, you have to find some fun for yourself!" Qingshi replied solemnly.

"..." Han Shuo glanced at Qingshi speechlessly, and cut off the topic.

The two casually strolled around a few more shops, and didn't buy much herbs, but when they passed by a smelting shop, Qing Shi caught a glimpse of a smelted mithril ingot.After some haggling, the biggest expense for this trip was completed: 85 middle-grade spirit stones.

In the middle, I ran into Xuan Lin's group twice more.They also seem to be visiting herbal medicine shops specifically, and the three times they encountered were situations where you came in and went out or you went out and went in.But they didn't dare to strike up a conversation with Han Shuo and Qingshi anymore, they just bowed respectfully, and then moved away from them.

Seeing the setting sun, the two of them and the beast stopped wandering around, turned around and walked towards the Winter Palace.While walking, snowflakes suddenly floated in the sky, and soon it became bigger and bigger, from small ice flakes to large goose feathers.When they returned to the Cypress Courtyard of the Hermitage, the sky and the ground were all pure white.

Wang Shuo seems to hate snow very much, and when the snowflakes are blowing up, he would rather spend his spiritual power to protect his whole body than let the snowflakes fall on his fur.After returning to the courtyard where he was temporarily staying, he went straight into the Baidian, far away from the snow flower.

Qingshi didn't go in to rest, and stood at the gate of the palace when he came back, watching the snow scene with great interest.

"You... haven't seen snow?" Han Shuo asked with deep eyes while standing behind him.The place where Xiantrumen's sect is located is like spring all the year round. If Qingshi really entered the mountain gate at the age of five and never went out again, it is normal that he has never seen snow.

"Does what you saw in your dream count?" Qing Shi asked back without turning her head.

Han Shuo narrowed his eyes, stared intently at Qingshi's back, and said after a while, "...Forget it."

"Hehe." Qingshi didn't give a final answer, but instead smiled, "If the snow doesn't stop until tomorrow, what will happen to the double cultivation ceremony? Wouldn't the bride be miserable?"

"In the Northland, snow on important days is a good omen." Han Shuo no longer pursued the previous question, and replied calmly with his hands behind his back, "Besides, even if the snow continues tomorrow, Xuantian Immortal Territory has some ways to make it snow." It won't go down into the city."

"It's true, after all, this is the Xuantian Immortal Realm, one of the three major immortal sects." Qing Shi laughed at himself.

Qingshi didn't stand at the door for too long, after looking at it for a while, he turned and entered the hall.

Han Shuo didn't go in with Qingshi, he stood there thoughtfully, and he didn't come to his senses until it was completely dark.Then I used my spiritual consciousness to find Qingshi, but found that my spiritual consciousness was isolated from the side hall and could not be penetrated.Han Shuo was startled, and was thinking of urging his spiritual sense to forcefully break in, when he suddenly remembered that the side hall was only a few steps away from him, and he didn't need to waste his spiritual sense to know what was going on there.

Han Shuo immediately walked towards the side hall, and soon saw that the door of the side hall was half open, and Qing Shi was sleeping soundly on a bed with Wang Shuo in his arms.

——Is it the magic circle that Qingshi set up before to isolate his consciousness?

Thinking of Qingshi's troubles during the day, Han Shuo couldn't help but realize something.

Seeing that Qingshi was already sleeping with Wangsuo in his arms, Han Shuo was unwilling to condescend to compete with a spirit beast for a bed partner, but just as he was about to turn around and go to the side hall to meditate, out of the corner of his eye, he noticed Qingshi There seemed to be something wrong with Shi's appearance, his brows were furrowed, his arms around Wang Shuo were too tight, and his body was obviously stiff.

Han Shuo quickly walked to the bed.Wang Shuo who heard his footsteps also turned around, his eyes were also flickering with worry.

"Qingshi." Han Shuo whispered, trying to pull Qingshi's arm away from Wangshuo's body.

"Cold..." Qingshi closed her eyes tightly and hugged Wangshuo even tighter.

"Qingshi!" Han Shuo had no choice but to use coercion and shouted again in Qingshi's ear.

Qing Shi suddenly opened his eyes as if awakened from a dream, then turned over, protected Wang Shuo behind him, and punched Han Shuo with his fist.

"Qingshi?!" Han Shuo was startled, and subconsciously stretched out his hand to catch Qingshi's fist, but his arm trembled due to the spiritual power on it, and he almost couldn't grasp it.

But at this time, Qingshi had already come to his senses, looked blankly at Han Shuo in front of him, then at the fist grasped by Han Shuo, then turned his head to look at Wangshuo who was as surprised as Han Shuo, for a while Only then did he open his mouth and say, "I seem to... the nightmare has arrived?"

"This is what I want to ask you." Han Shuo let go of Qingshi's arm calmly, and secretly transferred his spiritual power to eliminate the blood in his palm that was shaken by Qingshi's fist.

"It seems to be." Qing Shi tilted his head, was stunned for a while, then raised his hand and scratched his head, and said helplessly, "It's been a long time since I've been hit by a nightmare, it seems that this snow is not a good omen for me."

Han Shuo hesitated for a while, with all kinds of questions in his mind, and finally opened his mouth and asked, "...Are you still sleeping?"

"Forget it, if it happens again, it will be bad if you hurt either of you." Qing Shi shrugged, then shook his head and said, "No, my cultivation can't hurt you, it should be you It's right to be hurt..."

"Go to sleep." Han Shuo reached out and threw Wangshuo under the bed, took off his shoes and sat next to Qingshi, pulled Qingshi into his arms and hugged her, "I'll hold you to sleep, if you sleep again , I'll wake you up again."

"Then you don't have to throw me out of bed?!" Wang Shuo, who was thrown on the ground by Han Shuo, yelled dissatisfied.

But Han Shuo couldn't understand what it said and didn't intend to pay attention to it, and it didn't dare to ignore Han Shuo's cultivation and jumped onto the bed again, so it could only grunt a few times, and then lay helplessly beside the bed.Qing Shi still couldn't see it, took out a big cushion from his treasure bag, and threw it at Wang Shuo's feet.

"I brought it specially for you. From now on, you will keep it yourself, and you can take it with you wherever you go." Qing Shi leaned on Han Shuo's lap and winked at Wang Shuo.

"Okay, okay." Wang Shuo reluctantly got up and lay down on the cushion, picked a comfortable position and closed his eyes to fall asleep, and soon forgot to continue complaining.

Qingshi also turned around and lay back in Han Shuo's arms, and also found the most comfortable position to lie down, and then muttered in a low voice, "Hold tighter."

"Yeah." Han Shuo responded, pulling up the quilt beside the bed and covering Qingshi.
