Chapter 72 [072] Used as Medicine

Ten days later, the immortal ship returned to Sanqing Mountain.

Disciple Cangying Xu and Zhongli Jin registered all the medicinal materials that had been collected previously into the warehouse.

Before Shi Qing returned to the Three Pure Ones Blessed Land, he handed the figs he had picked to Cangying and said, "Master said, help me make them into medicine."

Cangying: “…”

Cangying: "When did you pick it?"

Shi Qing said honestly: "On the return trip, the night before."

"..." Damn! He actually did something dangerous behind her back again! !

She took the fig unhappily and snorted, "Don't take risks secretly next time!"

Shi Qing: "No danger."

"That won't work either." Although Cangying didn't know why the master wanted Shiqing to take the medicine, since it was his order, she just had to do it.

"I will dissolve the figs in the blood-recovering pills you usually take. Come get them tomorrow morning."

Shi Qing said, "Tonight, is it possible?"

"Is it urgent?" Cangying blinked: "Not that it's impossible, but give me a reason."

"Please," Shi Qing said, "Tonight, the Demon Locking Tower."

Cangying: “…”

She understood.

Didn't I just come back? I'm going to enter the Wind and Thunder Tower to kill monsters? ?
"Don't you want to take a rest? Have you forgotten what I told you before?" Cangying frowned and glared at Shi Qing.

But just as she finished speaking, a small snow-white bandage was deftly wrapped around her wrist and rubbed against her like a kitten.

Cangying: “…”

Cangying: "Don't do this to death."

Shi Qing opened his brown eyes, his pupils twinkling with a little light, "Please, good Cangying."

"You can't flatter me. I told you that after returning from a large mission, you have to rest for at least three days before you can enter the Wind and Thunder Tower." The girl was unmoved.

"But time is tight." Shi Qing said.

"What's the hurry? Can't you even have three days of rest?" Cangying raised his eyebrows.

"The competition will be held in half a month."

Cangying: “…”

No wonder Shi Qing was so anxious to go to the Wind and Thunder Tower to break through. It turned out that he wanted to break through from the first level of Golden Core to the second level before the competition among cultivators.

Half a month later, there will be a competition among the disciples of cultivation. All the sects in the world of cultivation will send their most powerful disciples at each level of cultivation to participate.

Just like the training in the Monster Secret Realm, from foundation building to spirit separation, the four most powerful representatives will be sent out, excluding the sect leader and the elders.

The most powerful representative needs to be decided through a duel within the sect.

Shi Qing is at the first stage of the Golden Core Realm, but there are quite a few Golden Core Realm disciples at the Sanqing Mountain, so she would be anxious.

"But even if that's the case, you've broken through from the first stage to the second stage, and there are still brothers and sisters who are in the middle or late stage of the Golden Core. Are you sure you can beat them?" Cangying advised: "In my opinion, you might as well take advantage of this opportunity to recuperate. Maybe when you fight in the sect, your condition will be even better than when you fought hard to break through to the second stage in the Wind and Thunder Tower."

What Cangying said makes sense.

But Shi Qing didn't want to waste even a minute that could be used to refresh the Wind and Thunder Tower.

She looked at Cangying, and another strip of bandage was put on, rubbing it hard on Cangying's wrist.

"Good Cangying." Shi Qing said again: "Please."

Just five simple words, but they are heartfelt.

"Don't worry," she said slowly, as if solemnly promising, "I'll pay attention."

"As long as you are here, I will cherish my life."

"..."

*
Cangying pinched the two bandages on her wrist and threw them back to Shiqing. She rolled her eyes at her, turned around and walked back to the Baicao Pavilion medicine store, saying unhappily, "Come and get them in the evening!"

When Shi Qing heard her agree, she curled her red lips slightly, her eyes lit up slightly, and said, "Thank you."

"Good Cangying."

“Heh,” Cangying sneered, “When you ask me to make an elixir, you are Good Cangying, but when you complain about me, you are Jiaziying.”

"No." Shi Qing said, "Cang Ying, good!"

"..."

Cangying went back to the medicine store to count the medicinal materials.

Shi Qing also flew back to the blessed land of Sanqing on his sword.

Chen Xiang had already returned here before her and was standing in front of the cave where the headmaster was in seclusion.

Master has just been in seclusion for over a month. He is at a critical period and must not be disturbed.

The little sister was sensible and just stood at the door and looked, without going in or making any loud noise.

Shi Qing flew his sword and landed beside Chen Xiang. The girl in red heard her footsteps and immediately turned her head. She walked up to her and held her arm affectionately, smiling with narrowed eyes, "Senior Sister is back? What took you so long? What did you say to Senior Sister Cang?"

Shi Qing briefly mentioned that she asked Cangying to help make the medicine.

However, Shen Xiang’s focus was that she would enter the Fenglei Tower tonight.

"Can't I really take two days off?" she said worriedly.

"No problem." Shi Qing said, "Disciple, the competition is more important."

"I think I can become famous through one battle."

——Just like Zhongli Jin a few years ago.

His reputation spreads throughout the world of cultivation.

Although Shi Qing is now a famous senior sister in Sanqing Mountain, the real reason for her fame is that she is the direct disciple of Sect Master Shi Yue.

She needs to truly rely on her own strength to gain the reputation of a cultivation genius.

"It's just a competition," Chen Xiang sighed. She still didn't quite understand. "Even if you said you wanted to eliminate demons and protect the people, I could still understand. But why do you suddenly want to become famous?"

Shi Qing, who has never cared about his reputation or the outside world's comments, suddenly wants to become famous in one battle?
Shen Xiang didn't think Shi Qing was greedy for the happiness that fame brought.

She must have her own reasons.

Given Shi Qing's personality, if you ask her directly, she will definitely answer.

"No, suddenly." Shi Qing looked at Chen Xiang and said seriously, "I've always thought about it."

"It started two years ago."

Chen Xiang: "..." Huh? It started so long ago? ?
"Why?" She had a strange premonition, as if Shi Qing was hiding a secret in his heart that she didn't know about.

Shi Qing only said: "For strength."

——"The strongest."

*
Cangying processed the fig pulp, mixed it with the herbs used to make blood-replenishing pills, and rolled it into pills.

The medicinal materials were supposed to be put into storage today, and as the eldest sister of Baicao Pavilion, she had to go and guard them, but now she was here making pills for that guy Shi Qing.

damn it!
In the end, I still fell for her sincerity! She said that because I was there, I would definitely cherish my life. Damn it! I was sure that I would fall for her, right? ! !
Cangying blushed, snorted coldly, and worked angrily.

Almost all the disciples of Baicao Pavilion have returned. Since they just arrived at the mountain gate today, most of them went back to rest after completing the registration of medicinal materials into the warehouse. They will resume their classes and daily alchemy tomorrow. Therefore, there are not many people in Baicao Pavilion now, with only a few new disciples and Cangying.

At this time, Disciple Xu suddenly walked in hurriedly from the medicine store and said, "Senior Sister Cang, I'd like to trouble you to go to the medicine store."

Cangying was startled and asked, "What happened?" Disciple Xu said, "The group of people who just came back accidentally registered several wrong herbs when they registered themselves, and mixed them with other herbs. Some herbs of the same type but different effects have very similar tastes and shapes. We need you to help sort them out and distinguish them."

Cangying: “…”

——Fuck!

What's going on every day!
"Is it urgent?" Cangying frowned: "I'll go over and take a look later."

"But... that's kiwi grass." Xu Zhongtian said, "If it mixes with the flavors of other herbs, it will easily affect the efficacy of the medicine."

Cangying: “…”

She sighed, put down the mud pill in her hand and stood up, "I'll go with you. Also, tell those disciples who registered incorrectly to refine a hundred blood recovery pills for me before dawn tomorrow!"

——I’m so angry!!
Disciple Xu: “…”

There are only six blood recovery pills in one furnace, and refining one furnace takes at least an hour. A hundred pills? I'm afraid I can't refine them even if I work day and night.

When the two of them went out, they happened to meet Zhongli Jin who had returned.

The young man in white saw Cangying's sad face and asked with concern, "Senior Sister Cangying, what happened?"

Cangying said with a headache: "Don't mention it, there are some problems at the medicine storehouse, and it keeps making me worry!"

She looked at Zhongli Jin, smelled some fresh medicinal fragrance on the boy, and asked, "Junior Brother Zhongli, did you pound the medicine just now?"

"Yes," the young man in white said with a smile, "I picked some figs before, and I want to use them as medicine."

Cangying: “…”

She suddenly realized something: "Shi Qing picked them with you the night before we returned?"

Zhong Lijin looked a little apologetic: "Junior brother originally wanted to go secretly by himself so as not to disturb the rest of the brothers and sisters, but I didn't expect that I would be discovered by Senior Sister Shiqing after just a few steps. She might be worried about my safety, so she followed me."

Cangying: “…”

Great! Even Junior Brother Zhongli has learned bad habits!!
but--

She turned her eyes slightly and thought of something else.

He looked back at the half-finished blood-recovering pill, blinked, and smiled, "In that case, it just so happens that I'm helping Shi Qing prepare the medicine, but the medicine store is a bit busy right now. I've already prepared half of the blood-recovering pills, and I'll ask my junior brother to help me with the rest. Shi Qing will come to get it in the evening, so please trouble you."

Anyway, Junior Brother Zhongli also needed figs for medicine, so he asked him to refine them together.

After hearing this, Zhong Lijin's eyes softened and he smiled, "Since it is Senior Sister's request, Junior Brother will do as you ask."

Cangying left with disciple Xu, walking quite quickly.

But before leaving, Xu Zhongtian seemed to look back at Zhong Li Jin again.

There was a hint of obscurity in his eyes.

The young man in white pretended not to see Xu Zhongtian's eyes, and walked straight to the medicinal mud left by Cangying. After washing his hands, he continued to rub the pills.

The old man asked: [You haven’t said much these past two days, what’s wrong? ]

Zhongli Jin lowered his eyes and looked at the medicinal mud in his hand, and said with a smile: [It’s nothing, senior, don’t worry. ]

[No, you must be worried.]

Zhongli Jin: [……]

[Let me guess, is it related to Shi Qing's little girl? ]

【That’s not the case.】 said the boy.

At least, not completely.

[Oh?] The old man seemed to have guessed, [Is that the upcoming disciple competition?]

【…】

[Junior, I know that you became famous in the disciple competition a few years ago, and your reputation as a cultivation genius spread far and wide. This year, you are not even qualified to participate in the sect's internal competition. Naturally, you feel disappointed. But with me here, even if you can't participate, you will definitely be better than those sword cultivators! ]

Zhongli Jin listened to the old man's words of comfort and laughed softly.

Several disciples nearby heard his laughter and turned their heads in surprise.

However, the handsome and fair face of the young man was slightly curved. When he looked up at them, he even smiled apologetically and said, "Sorry, I just thought of something interesting. Don't worry about it."

Zhongli Jin's smile was so gentle and beautiful. The boy's elegant, calm and snow lotus-like temperament made them blush.

"No, I don't care, Junior Brother Zhongli."

This is a lie.

They were all moved to tears by the boy's beautiful smile.

*
[I can participate in the disciple competition this year.] Zhongli Jin reminded the old man: [Although I cannot enter the internal competition of Sanqing Mountain, I can continue to participate as a disciple of Xuanxiao Sect.]

The old man's eyes lit up: [That's a happy event! With the Dandu array talisman technique that I taught you, you will definitely get the first place! Then why were you so unhappy before? ]

Zhongli Jin said: [I am not unhappy, I just feel a little sad.]

Even now, he couldn't completely forget his sword.

The two words "Jin Yu" and his natal sword have been bound to him for life since the moment it was cast.

He once vowed to carry his sword with him, slay demons, uphold justice, and ascend to become an immortal.

But things in this world are unpredictable. Although I can still embark on the path to immortality in the future, I will no longer be the young and frivolous me holding a long sword and full of vigor.

In the evening, Zhongli Jin finished refining the elixir and put it in a porcelain bottle.

He put Shi Qing's copy into his sleeve and waited for the girl to come and take it.

However, even until night fell, there was still no sign of Shi Qing.

I took out the voice stone and called out twice, but there seemed to be no response from the other end. I had no idea what was going on.

After thinking about it, Zhongli Jin boarded the fairy boat and planned to take a look at the Three Pure Ones blessed land.

[Why don’t you use the voice stone to call the girl in red? ] the old man asked.

There was obviously no need for the boy to go over there.

Zhong Lijin said: [It is late at night now, it is better not to disturb the little sister. ]

The immortal boat stopped next to the huge alchemy furnace outside the Sanqing Blessed Land.

In the yard behind the blessed land, there are green trees and vines, lush grass, and many flying fireflies lingering in the night.

The night wind blew, causing the boy's hair and clothes to sway slightly.

This was not the first time that Zhongli Jin came to the blessed land of Sanqing. Before he was deposed, he had come two or three times to visit Sect Leader Shi Yue. However, at that time, he did not know that he had an engagement with Sanqing Mountain, and Shi Yue was also practicing sword at Shuangjian Peak, so he had never seen him before.

There was the sound of running water in the yard.

The place is thick with mist, as if there is a cold spring here.

The two houses were located opposite each other, both with lights on.

The young man didn't know which room belonged to Shi Qing. He was about to knock on the door to ask, but suddenly he heard the sound of rippling water coming from the cold spring behind the bushes nearby.

Zhongli Jin put down his hand that was knocking on the door and walked towards that place.

After pushing aside the dense branches and leaves, his sight fell on the cold spring, but his eyes suddenly widened and he froze in place as if his blood had frozen!
——Shi Qing sat in the spring with her hair disheveled and her eyes closed. Her snow-white inner garment was soaked and transparent, outlining the curves of the girl's figure and the faintly visible muscles on her abdomen.

The water drops slowly drip down.

There was cold air floating around, and it should have been icy enough to penetrate her body, but her face was flushed at this moment, as if she was being tortured by something, but was enduring it with all her might!

——Love Poison!

Zhongli Jin remembered this thing!
I have seen Shi Qing these days and he looks normal, breathing steadily, and everything seems to be fine.

His normal appearance almost made him forget that there was still the love insect in Shi Qing's body!
He thought that thing had no effect on the girl, but who would have thought that it was just her strong endurance that had never been shown during the day? !

Here I come! Good night! ~~
