lead fades away

In a blink of an eye, it has been nearly ten years since Qingshi left Xiantrumen.

During this period, the biggest event that happened in the Upper Realm was nine years ago, when the much-anticipated Jiuchongtian suddenly disappeared without any warning, trapping all Huashen Zhenjun and many ordinary monks. In it, escape cannot.

Seeing that three months had passed, Jiuchongtian still disappeared, and there was no news of the monks inside, obviously something unexpected happened.But just when most people thought that the pattern of the Upper Realm would change drastically from then on, and the original Dazong Dazong was about to fade away, a thunderbolt-like explosive sword light suddenly flashed across the sky above Yunhaiyuan. Han Shuo, a cultivator who transforms spirits from Trumen, broke through the space restriction in the Nine Heavens with a single sword, clearing the way back for all the cultivators.

This legendary sword won Han Shuo the reputation of No. 1 Transformation God, and also paved a way for Xiantrumen to become stronger.In addition, Xiao Kejie of Wang Yunzong was seriously injured in the Jiuchongtian, and his cultivation base fell to the Yuanying realm. Whether he can save his life is a matter of opinion.

What's more, if Han Shuo hadn't cut the passage with his sword, the monks of all sects would have been wiped out in the Nine Heavens. In this regard, all the monks who entered the Nine Heavens and returned safely owed Han Shuo a debt. Life, even if the Xian Trumen continue to keep a low profile, no decent immortal sect would dare to risk their kindness and avenge their grievances against Xian Chumen.

Nowadays, there is no longer the Three Great Immortal Sects in the Upper Realm. The Xianchu Sect has surpassed Wangyunzong and Xuantian Immortal Realm in terms of strength and power, and has become a fairy sect on a par with the Dan Sect.

However, these things are nothing but what he heard from other people. After he left Xiantrumen, he found a secret place to retreat and practice his body. It was not until three years ago that he got out of the seclusion.

The "box" that Qingshi asked Yu Wang to refine for him was not a spiritual weapon in the usual sense, but a vessel that could purify the essence of herbs and strengthen the monk's body.In ancient times, due to more physical training, this kind of utensil called "Vajra Sleeper" was once very popular. As long as enough spiritual power is provided and enough medicine is placed, one can even get the extraordinary power of bones and muscles, and recast the body. Effect.

Of course, in today's upper realm, it is very difficult to find the elixir that can promote bone growth and muscle growth. Qing Shi only used its strengthening function to further refine Wuyou's physical body to make it more suitable for him The primordial spirit, so as to be able to withstand the huge "realm" force generated when the primordial spirit casts the immortal method.

After re-refining, Qing Shi is still an ordinary foundation-building monk in terms of spiritual power, but his cultivation base is slightly higher, from the early stage of foundation building to the late stage of foundation building.But in terms of combat power, even if he meets Han Shuo, Qingshi is confident that he can fight him to the death, and he no longer needs to be a man with his tail between his legs and be cautious everywhere.

——Actually, the time spent in the Immortal World is not wasted in vain.

——At least, he no longer has to spend so much effort to form a pill to become a baby!

Thinking of all the things in the past, Qing Shi couldn't help but chuckle at himself.

After leaving the customs, Qingshi traveled east all the way, temporarily stayed in a casual repair town far away from Xianchumen, bought a small courtyard, and lived a leisurely and comfortable life.

It's just that the leisurely life is really boring after a long time. After living in the small town with nothing to do for half a year, Qingshi put up a sign "Sales of sundries" at the gate of the courtyard, selling some low-level Commonly used items such as spiritual tools, talismans, and elixir.

The scale of the town is small, and there are only a hundred or so monks who actually settled here, and most of the rest are visitors like Qingshi who don't know where they came from or when they left.The atmosphere in the town is quite peaceful, mainly because everyone's cultivation base is low and they are all impoverished casual cultivators. They won't get much benefit from winning or losing. It's better to live in harmony and save a little effort.

In addition, there is nothing powerful in the town, and someone like Qingshi who has cultivated in the late stage of the foundation period can already be regarded as a "high-level" monk here.It is precisely because of this that even though Qingshi has put up a business sign, no one dares to come to the door to collect oil and water. On the contrary, many low-level monks in the refining period "admired" Qingshi's cultivation base. Ask for advice while shopping.They come and go again and again, and the repeat customers actually save a lot. Some monks who just came to the town want to buy things, and they will be introduced to Qingshi's yard by local monks.

This afternoon, Qing Shi had just taken a nap and was thinking about how to spend the afternoon when someone rang the bell at the gate of the courtyard suddenly. Then, a female nun in a dark blue dress came from the door. Walked in, "May I ask if Brother Qing is in..."

Before the words were finished, the female cultivator and Qing Shi met each other's eyes, the two couldn't help being stunned for a moment, and in the next moment, they called each other's name in unison——

"What is it?!"

"Xinyi?"

But after calling each other's names, the two reacted completely differently.Xinyi retreated subconsciously, clearly planning to wait for an opportunity to escape, but Qingshi laughed with great interest, raised her finger to the stone table and chair in the yard and said, "Don't be so restrained, we are old acquaintances anyway, sit Come down and talk about the old days!"

"Why are you here?" Xinyi hesitated for a moment, but finally chose to stay, forced herself to walk to the stone table calmly, and bowed to Qingshi to salute, "Long time no see, Junior Brother Qingshi, I don't know how to call him now ?”

"I have to return the former question to you intact." Qing Shi smiled and took out the teapot and cup, and placed it on the stone table, "As for the latter question, you already called me Green Cultivator, why are you asking me? "

"Then I will continue to call you Cultivator Qing." Xinyi was obviously still nervous, and did not dare to take the spiritual tea that Qingshi handed over.

Qing Shi had no choice but to put the teacup in front of Xinyi, and asked with a smile, "What about you, what should you call me now?"

"There's no one in the Upper Realm looking around for my whereabouts, so naturally there's no need to change my name or surname." Xinyi managed to squeeze out a small smile, "Of course, I don't have a surname at all."

"Investigate?" Qingshi raised his eyebrows, turned around and sat down opposite Xinyi, "Listen to what you mean, is there someone still tracking me down?"

"You don't know?" Xinyi was slightly taken aback, "For a while, Xian Chumen went crazy looking for you."

"I really don't know." Qing Shi shrugged and asked with great interest, "Tell me, why are you looking for me, and who is looking for me?"

"I don't know why I was looking for you, but at that time Xianchumen sent a lot of people out, by the way, it was the time when Han Zhenjun and the others just came back from the Nine Heavens." Xinyi's expression froze unnaturally, as if she was slandering: Seeing that you look like this, you ran out by yourself, so there is no need to ask others why?

"It's not necessarily because of me that Xianchu sect sent people out, right?" Qing Shi pouted.

"It's just for you." Xinyi said with great certainty.

"How do you know? Didn't you also leave Xiantrumen?" Qing Shi asked back.

"I...I had no choice but to leave." Xinyi gritted her teeth and explained, "At that time, Daoist She Ji forced me to set you up in the Wuxia Wonderland, asking me to lure you to kill and record the killing process with mirror image jade slips. Come down, and send it to the punishment hall as a criminal evidence. I know you are powerful, and I can't afford to offend you, but I also can't offend Daoist She Ji at that time! Besides, he still used the foundation building pill to lure me, I, I thought, no matter what How, first get Zhuji Dan in your hand and then talk about it——whether you believe it or not, although I took the benefits of Daoist She Ji, I didn't intend to murder you! I didn't do anything in Wuxia Wonderland, You should be very aware of this!"

"You didn't do anything, why did you run away?" Qing Shi asked knowingly.

"Don't run away, why don't you stay and wait to be slaughtered by Taoist She Ji as a punching bag?" Xinyi sneered, "He sent his most proud disciple to help me kill you, but you and I came out safely, but the disciple disappeared ——What would he think? Shouldn’t it be that I helped you harm his proud disciple?”

"Come on, in fact, you don't want to stay in Xianchumen any longer, do you?" Qingshi asked with a smile.

"Didn't you leave too?" Xinyi asked back, her complaints completely calmed her down, and her complexion was much more normal than before.

"Don't you want to say that we left for the same reason?" Qingshi raised his eyebrows and smiled, then raised his hand to stop Xinyi's explanation, and said instead, "Okay, let's talk about the past, let's talk about it first Business—you came to me to buy something, right? Tell me, what to buy?"

"Attack talismans." Xinyi replied calmly.She is also a foundation-building cultivator now, and she shouldn't be so panicked in front of Qingshi, but she was really suppressed by Qingshi for a long time back then, and a wave of fear subconsciously grew in her heart.

"How much? We are all acquaintances, I can consider giving you a discount." Qing Shi laughed.

Xinyi was speechless for a while.Back then, what Young Shi gave her the most was the talisman, and every time she gave it by the handful, one can imagine how worthless that thing was in Qing Shi's heart.Thinking of this, Xinyi couldn't help feeling a little uncomfortable.

Qingshi also saw her thoughts, and said with a smile, "Why, you still plan to let me send you for free like in the past? Sister Xinyi, no, Brother Xinyi, now and then, I am just a craftsman now. A casual cultivator living on a subsistence basis can no longer do such generous things!"

Xinyi immediately showed a disdainful expression of "when were you generous?", but immediately hid it again, and just said lightly, "Let's talk about the price, I am much richer than then."

"Really? Then I won't give the discount." Qing Shi choked Xinyi again with a single word.

Xinyi had no choice but to gather herself together, "I want to buy more talismans, and if you have medicinal herbs for healing, please sell them to me."

"It's easy." Qingshi turned his hand and took out an ordinary cloth bag full of paper talismans, and two porcelain bottles of different colors, and put them on the table, "Here are one hundred fireball talismans, ten rejuvenation pills, one bottle to stop bleeding San, can you give me 300 yuan of low-grade spirit stones or 25 pieces of middle-grade spirit stones?"

Xinyi didn't move, she shook her head and said, "Please don't fool me with this kind of thing that fools others, Brother Qing. I know your skills very well, and you definitely won't be the only ones like this."

"Of course there are good things, but I'm afraid you can't afford them!" Qing Shi smiled slightly, and returned Xin Yi's previous teasing.

Xinyi couldn't help being choked again, although she really wanted to refute back with arrogance, but based on her understanding of Qingshi, she might really not be able to afford the good things in Qingshi's hands!

"Then Brother Qing, please bring something I can afford." Xinyi rallied and lobbied patiently, "In return, I will send Brother Qing a message."

"Return?" Qing Shi raised his eyebrows pretending to be surprised, "I thought you would ask me for a hush money."

Xinyi was stunned for a moment, then understood the meaning of Qingshi, and quickly said seriously, "Don't worry, Brother Qing, it's not good for me to reveal your whereabouts. Why should I be that villain who harms others and does not benefit myself? You and I were both in Xianchu back then. You have helped me a lot when I was with you, even if I can't repay you, I will definitely not do the thing of repaying kindness with revenge."

"I love to hear that." Qing Shi chuckled, raised his hand and pushed the things on the table in front of Xin Yi, "Take this as a reward for your conscience, now tell me your news, if it's interesting, I'll I'll let you see something better."

—My conscience is worth this?

Xinyi obviously twitched the corners of her mouth, but she couldn't care less about it, so she just pretended she didn't hear it and continued, "It's popular in the Upper Realm to visit the ancient world, and the various sects and sects are offering high prices for all kinds of related things. There are rumors about the Ancient Immortal Cave Mansion. Not long ago, someone discovered a suspected Ancient Immortal Cave Mansion nearby, but the restriction circle outside was extremely difficult to understand, and the person couldn’t get in, so he sold the news to the Jiuliu League. Then it was resold by Jiuliumeng to the various immortal sects, and it was finally passed on to everyone.”

"It's popular in the upper realm to visit ancient times and explore seclusion?" Qingshi didn't ask where the cave was, but became interested in Xinyi's first sentence.

"Yeah, don't you even know about this?" Xinyi was slightly taken aback.

Qingshi didn't answer, just squinted his eyes and thought.

Han Shuo split the Nine Heavens with his sword, which not only made all the cultivators of Transforming Gods leave the floating island safely, but also made the plan of the Immortal Realm to use the Nine Heavens to reduce the number of cultivators of Transforming Gods fall short.But the Immortal Realm will not stop there, after all, they will never dare to let the number of God Transformation monks in the upper realm really exceed nine - the aura tools in the sky and the earth are very limited, and they cannot afford too many cycles. If the consumption is too large, the above will be out of balance.If it becomes serious, it will even lead to the collapse of the fairy world, the confusion of the three worlds, and the return of the whole world to chaos.

——This wind of visiting the ancients and exploring the secluded is not another trick played by the guys in the fairy world, right?

Although Qing Shi had doubts but couldn't figure it out clearly, he could only raise his head and ask Xin Yi, "You bought the talisman and elixir just to go to the ancient fairy cave?"

"Exactly." Xinyi nodded, "Is Brother Qing interested in traveling with me?"

"I've never been interested in taking risks." Qing Shi shook his head and refused.

"That's true." Xinyi nodded in understanding.

"Actually, I'd like to persuade you not to go..." Qing Shi stopped talking in the middle of his sentence, and just stared at Xin Yi's face with a look of surprise.

Xinyi frowned suspiciously, "What's wrong?"

"Have you been robbed of your virginity?" Qing Shi asked abruptly.

Xinyi's expression changed immediately, "Cultivator Qing, please be careful!"

Qing Shi didn't pay attention, and continued to look at Xin Yi's expression self-consciously, and quickly raised his eyebrows and said, "It's not that I was taken away, so, it's because I have your lover who I want?"

"You—" Xinyi couldn't help but become angry from embarrassment, but after all, she was a young female cultivator, she opened and closed her mouth, and finally only asked a rhetorical question, "What does this have to do with you?!"

"It doesn't matter, but...do you dare to ask me to feel your pulse?" Qingshi's attitude was very serious, but the request he made was even more thoughtless.

Seeing that Qingshi's appearance did not seem to be teasing, Xinyi also had to be cautious, frowned and said, "Please speak clearly."

Qing Shi shrugged, "It's nothing, it's just that your eyebrows have faded, your complexion is not quite right, and the aura around you is also a little disordered, it looks like...you are pregnant."

The last four words that Qingshi uttered made Xinyi's face turn from red to white in an instant, her blood was gone, she was tongue-tied, but she couldn't say a word.

"Could it be that you don't know that you might be pregnant?" Qing Shi raised her eyebrows and asked.

Xinyi bit her lip and didn't answer, she just raised her hand and stretched her arm over.

Qing Shi didn't shy away from being polite, and put his fingers directly on Xinyi's pulse, then withdrew his hand after a while, and nodded solemnly to Xinyi, "It's not possible, it's true."

Hearing such a result, Xinyi curled the corners of her mouth and showed an ugly smile.

Xinyi's performance made Qingshi unable not to think about it, but he couldn't say any words of comfort, and he didn't know whether Xinyi needed his comfort, so he habitually said words of reminder "It's extremely dangerous to be pregnant and have a child. If you don't want this child, you'd better do it as soon as possible... By the way, it's best not to go to the Laoshizi Ancient Immortal Cave Mansion. With your current body and bones, no matter whether you want this child or not." , are not suitable for going out for adventure.”

Xinyi shook her head mockingly, "I understand, but I don't want to give up on this child, and I have to go to that cave."

"If you do this, you will easily end up with two dead bodies." Qing Shi frowned.

Xinyi twitched the corners of her mouth without a smile, and did not answer, but her mood was much calmer, and she seemed to have begun to accept the news that she was about to become a mother.

Qingshi didn't know what else to say, although she intuitively thought that Xinyi shouldn't keep the child at all, but she didn't have a position to persuade her, so she scratched her head, reached out and took out a high-grade jade talisman made by herself, and grabbed it again. Pushing the two bags of talismans to Xinyi, she said, "Then I can only tell you to take care!"

Looking at the pile of things on the table, Xinyi quickly laughed, "Are these...given to me for nothing?"

"How is it possible!" Qing Shi pouted, "However, if you are willing to tell me who the father of this child is, I can consider asking him to pay the bill!"

"He...you really recognize him." Xinyi smiled, but didn't say any more.
