This is not how immortals cultivate

Chapter 287: Incurable! Wait for death! Goodbye!
Xiang Yuan stayed in Xiaodongtian for too long, and the gate of Feng’s ancestral mausoleum was closed, so he was trapped inside.

Fortunately, the problem is not serious and there are professionals around.

Although Xiao Feng could not sneak into the Feng family mausoleum quietly, leaving quietly was not a problem for him. According to him, the ancestral lands of large families basically had back doors to ensure that an old ancestor who had resurrected his corpse could escape through them.

In other words, the same is true for the imperial tomb of the Xiao family in Shendu!
After asking Xiang Yuan, he learned that Xiao Feng was of a high generation in the Xiao family, and that when Prince Zhao Xiao Yan came, he had to call him "grandfather".

Xiang Yuan had called Xiao Feng "father" twice before, and with this relationship in mind, the adoptive father and father-in-law became nephew, and Xiao Lingyue became granddaughter.

Although it sounds a bit abnormal that my fiancée becomes my granddaughter, the feeling comes immediately when I think of having a grandson named Xiao He.

Xiang Yuan and Xiao Feng parted ways at the Feng family's ancestral land and agreed to meet at the beginning of the next year, which was one month later, at all the Taoist gods in the capital, to hand over the money with one hand and break their promise with the other.

Xiao Feng left with a bitter face. He did not take advantage of the loophole in his soul's oath, so he could only think of a way to go back and raise money.

Not only did he gain nothing from this trip, he also got beaten up, lost his savings of many years, and added a creditor. He couldn't figure out why he came here.

The more I thought about it, the angrier I got. I felt terrible!

According to the law of conservation of happiness, all of Xiao Feng's lost happiness was transferred to Xiang Yuan. After returning to Feng Mansion, he called his two useless brothers and threw the seal of the patriarch on the table.

Don't ask, the answer is traveling. A real man has ambitions to travel around the world, how can he be trapped in a city and waste his time!
Xiang Yuan did not abandon the alias of Feng Wenshu. The Feng family is one of the five sects of Tianjian, and extending out from it are three large copies of the Tianzong family, which will definitely come in handy in the future.

As for how Feng Wenyu and Feng Wenyuan, who were full of art viruses, would manage Feng Group after he left, and whether the fourth branch would jump out to cause trouble, he couldn't care less.

It’s better to jump out and cause trouble, then come back and beat them up.

As for the Wang family, will they come to the Feng family to ask for an explanation after the death of the Tianqian Sword Master, the pillar of the family?

It's better to come. With a reason, it will be convenient for "Feng Wenshu" to knock on the door and ask for an explanation!
Xiang Yuan felt that the Wang family would not send anyone. It was not glorious for the Tianqian Sword Master to sneak into the Feng family's ancestral land, and the Wang family did not dare to publicize it. Moreover, the Grand Master of the Tongyou period had been defeated, so if the rest of the people came, what good results would they get?

However, just looking at the IQs of Feng and Wang, we can guess that since they both hang out in the circle of people in their seventies, maybe Wang would really come knocking on their door.

That’s good. Xiang Yuan now has a reason to organize the gentry to take the lead in donating money to suppress the bandits!
……

Qingzhou, Bishui County.

Xiang Yuan followed the plum blossom mark and found the small courtyard occupied by Taoist Ziping in the city, and took out the refined "Red Lotus Pill" from the secret compartment.

According to the previous discussion between the two, this small courtyard would be the place for the transaction. Xiang Yuan would leave the porcelain bottle containing the blood medicine, and Taoist Ziping would leave the finished elixir he had refined. The accounts would be settled every three months, and it didn't matter whether they met during this period.

It won’t work this time. Xiang Yuan has some goods of ill-gotten origin, and he hopes that Taoist Ziping will sell them through Jianxinzhai’s regular channels.

He was worried that it might be regarded as a family heirloom, so he did not dare to go to Jianxinzhai to find Taoist Ziping. He happened to meet a disciple of Jianxinzhai in the city, and relying on his excellent eloquence, he entrusted the disciple to bring a message to Taoist Ziping.

That night.

Xiang Yuan was sitting cross-legged in the room with a meditation cushion under his butt. When he heard the deliberately heavy footsteps, he put away the meditation cushion and waited for Taoist Ziping to come in.

For a long time, there was no movement outside the house.

"Sister Ziping, what are you doing outside? Come in!"

"..."

Taoist Ziping pushed the door open carefully, looked around, and seeing that there was no one in the room, he said it was strange and he didn't believe it, and then searched the wardrobe and other large items that could hide a person.

"Don't look for it, I'm the only one in the room."

Xiang Yuan rolled his eyes and said, "You too, you are a powerful person in the Spiritualization Stage. You can easily sense if there is someone in the room. But you stood outside the door for a long time and made me think there was a thief."

Xiang Yuan's words made sense, but Taoist Ziping could not agree with it. It was impossible to sense something. God knew what was going on in the room. If she saw some obscene scenes, where could she go to seek justice?

"Strange, why is the senior sister not here today? Has she left?" Taoist Ziping asked suspiciously.

"How fresh, why is your senior sister here?"

Xiang Yuan waved his hand, telling Taoist Zi Ping to stop looking for him: "I asked you to come here today for a deal. The order is a bit large, so we have to talk in person."

"What about the agreed rules? Why do we have to meet in person if we just put the goods down?" Taoist Ziping thought about the recent situation on the mountain, sighed and shook his head.

The last time they met for a deal, she caught Xiang Yuan and Shang Qingmeng doing something awkward, and after returning to the mountain, Shang Qingmeng often bullied her.

Shang Qingmeng is a quiet person with a cold personality. She would not be sarcastic to her junior sister. She would just stand quietly behind her junior sister, without saying a word, staring at the back of her neck.

Once, Ziping was walking at night when she suddenly felt a chill all over her body. When she turned her head, she saw Shang Qingmeng's figure in white floating behind a tree.

For a second, Ziping felt cold all over and her heart stopped beating.

It's unfair, Senior Sister. There's nothing innocent between that guy and me. It's really nothing. It's just some shady deals. Only you are blind to treat him as a treasure.

Ziping really wanted to tell the truth, but unfortunately Shang Qingmeng didn't give her a chance to speak. Every time she approached and tried to explain, Shang Qingmeng would leave in silence, which made her very worried.

The more Zi Ping thought about it, the more aggrieved she felt. It was not easy for her to earn some money. She was worried all day long, fearing that the senior sister would be upset one day and cut her neck with a sword.

Xiang Yuan didn't know what Zi Ping was mumbling about, nor did he care. He reiterated, "For big orders, it must be negotiated in person. I'm not exaggerating, but you've hit on a treasure by bumping into me."

Yeah, I also ran into a ghost.

Zi Ping sighed again: "For such a large order, why don't you just go directly to Jian Xin Zhai? No one is stopping you from going in. Why do you have to find someone to take the letter..."

If this gets to the ears of the senior sister, who knows what kind of trouble it might cause.

"It's true that no one is stopping me from entering, but it's hard to say when I'm leaving." Xiang Yuan complained viciously. There were too many people in Jianxinzhai who were greedy for his body, and he wouldn't go even if they invited him.

As for other famous and upright sects, most of them are of the same quality, and their moral quality is far worse than that of the Huangquan Sect!
"You don't know, these days..."

"I don't care about that. Let's get straight to the point. You find a way to deal with these goods. As usual, Jian Xinzhai takes his cut and we split it 70%."

Xiang Yuan waved his hand and pushed, and more than twenty magic weapons were arranged on the table, dazzling Zi Ping so much that she couldn't open her eyes, and subconsciously raised her hand to block in front of her.

"Hey, these..."

Taoist Zi Ping saw the objects clearly with a look of disbelief on his face. After checking them one by one, he took a deep breath and said, "Where have you been these days? Where did you get them from? Did you raze a mountain gate to the ground?"

Zi Ping had a good vision and soon discovered that she had misunderstood Xiang Yuan. She did not massacre a single sect, but several sects.

She picked up a sword with a dizzy divine light, touched it, and frowned, saying, "The magic sword of the Heavenly Sword Pavilion's Tongyou period, you shouldn't have provoked them. A group of Tongyou period came to attack you. There is no place for you in the world."

"Don't worry, it's a legitimate business, no one will question the source of the goods."

"you sure?"

"Just let Jian Xinzhai handle it, and no one will pursue it."

"..."

"Sister Ziping, say something!"

"The risk is too great. If we sell it directly, I'm afraid no one will be willing to buy it. If we refine it again, it will take a long time... The commission the mountain gate will get this time is not a small amount." Zi Ping made an assessment one by one.

The risk exists on both sides. Jian Xinzhai does not want to cause trouble, and the buyer is even more afraid of trouble. In order to ensure the normal transaction, renovation is inevitable, which takes too long and cannot be done by Ziping alone. After reporting to the mountain gate, the more people involved, the higher the commission will naturally be.

Xiang Yuan nodded. It was a business with no capital involved, as long as there was profit, that was enough.

Upon hearing this, Zi Ping was no longer sleepy, and explained the market prices in a friendly manner, the prices of magic weapons for the Spirit Transformation Stage and the Spiritual Transmission Stage, and the prices of attack and defense respectively.

She was probably afraid of being poor, so she grabbed hold of a few magic weapons and refused to let go.

"How about it, is it a large order that needs to be traded in person?"

"I was wrong about you."

"Take these fifty bottles of blood medicine and we'll pay together later."

Xiang Yuan thought about it, and took out the other shore demon flower again, lowering his voice and saying: "Yellow Springs other shore flower, a Tongyou period master uses it as fertilizer for the flowers. This is a hot commodity, more valuable than magic weapons."

When he looted Xiao Feng's Qiankun Ring, he also collected a bag of seeds of the other shore demon flower. There were not many of them, but each seed was priceless. Because they could destroy the physical life of a master in the Tongyou period, he kept them for his own use and had no intention of selling them.

"show me!"

Zi Ping's eyes lit up when she saw this. She preferred studying pharmacology to selling swords. But when she saw the demon flower from the other shore, which was a rare item cultivated by a master in the Tongyou period, the magic sword in her hand immediately lost its appeal.

Xiang Yuan saw that she was coming at him aggressively, and was afraid that she would get on with him, so he decisively pushed the red spider lily over to him.

Zi Ping drooled as she studied it, speaking rapidly, "The Demonic Flower of the Other Shore is a rare wonder in the world. I've only read about it in books, and this is the first time I've seen a genuine one, not to mention a top-quality one that was cultivated by a Grandmaster of the Tongyou Stage..."

"Legend has it that this thing grows at the junction of yin and yang, and absorbs life force as nutrients. When the flower blooms, it means the end of life."

"In terms of pharmacology, this flower contains a trace of the power of the law of reversing life and death, and its uses are endless. For cultivators in the Spiritualization Stage, this flower is an excellent aid in impacting the Passing Spirit Stage. For cultivators in the Passing Spirit Stage, it can stabilize the Yuan Shen..."

"If a cultivator takes it, it can extend their lifespan, and even reverse aging to a certain extent, maintaining their peak condition. For cultivators whose lifespans are about to end, this flower is like a second life." "There are other methods of refining elixirs that can dissolve the curse of life and death and eliminate evil spirits. If the 'Other Shore Pill' can be refined, a cultivator in the Spiritualization Stage can temporarily gain the combat power of a Grandmaster in the Passing the Mysterious Stage."

"If it is refined into a magic weapon, it will be more useful. The Mirror of the Other Shore and the Banner of Life and Death both have extraordinary power..."

"..."

It turns out there are so many benefits!

Xiang Yuan blinked, waved his hand and put the flower of the other shore into the space of the jade disk: "I thought about it and decided not to sell it because of my previous consideration."

Zi Ping had been whetted to her heart's content, but when Xiang Yuan said he wouldn't sell it, she became furious and was ready to die together with him.

“It hurts, it hurts, it’s going to break, it’s going to break!”

It was impossible for them to die together. Xiang Yuan raised his hand to grab her, then grabbed her with his backhand. Ziping was immediately pressed on the table and begged for mercy.

Seeing that she had calmed down, Xiang Yuan let go of her hand.

Zi Ping was not willing to give in. She came over to offer tea and water: "From such a big red spider lily, I will take a few petals and stamens and refine them into finished elixirs. By then... I won't charge you a penny. All the elixirs are yours."

Come on, do you really think I don’t understand your little tricks as alchemists?

Alchemists take commission based on loss. Out of 100 medicinal materials, 80% are shipped, and the remaining 20% ​​is loss during refining. Xiang Yuan has heard of these unspoken rules more than once.

However, the 'Bian Dan' that could temporarily grant him the combat power of a Grandmaster in the Tongyou Stage really made him excited.

Xiang Yuan's current strength is matched with that of a cultivator in the Spirit Transformation Stage at the same level. If he goes all out and kills one enemy at a time, he must transform into a being with three heads and six arms in order to win against a master in the Tongyou Stage.

He just wanted to win the fight, but if the opponent wanted to run away, he would have no way to stop him.

If he could obtain the 'Bian Dan', even if it was only a few seconds of strength improvement, he would have the confidence to defeat the Grandmaster of the Tongyou period outside the small cave, and even keep it.

"A Ping, red spider lilies are very precious. You can take them to Jian Xin Zhai to make elixirs. If you go into seclusion from now on and never go out again, I can't really go looking for you, right?"

Xiang Yuan blew the tea in the cup and said to Zi Ping who was standing obediently beside him: "I am very embarrassed when you do this!"

Zi Ping hoped to get a glimpse of the Grandmaster realm of the Tongyou period with the help of the red spider lily, so there was no reason for her to give up. Upon hearing this, she swore and made a lot of unequal treaties, and she almost sold herself to Xiang Yuan.

There is no need to sell yourself.

Xiang Yuan and Zi Ping had similar personalities and knew that this elder sister doctor was a rare positive character. However, with such a great opportunity ahead of her, it would be unwise to test her heart. So they asked her to swear a spiritual oath, and then took some red spider lilies and handed them over.

Ziping felt like she had found a treasure, and when she looked at Yuan again, she found that this pretty boy was much more pleasing to the eye.

She put away the magic treasures on the table and lowered her voice to ask, "What do you think of the medicine I told you about last time?"

"Ah, didn't I reject you then?"

"I went back and thought about it. I couldn't sleep and tossed and turned. I still felt that it was necessary to do some research on it."

"..."

You toss and turn late at night and can't sleep, are you thinking about my medicine?

Xiang Yuan rolled his eyes and still refused decisively. As he said before, how to get the medicine was a problem. He should not make things so bad that he would lose all his friends.

Seeing that Xiang Yuan was leaving no room for negotiation, Zi Ping gave up in disappointment. Before leaving, she was still unwilling to give up. As she opened the door, she said, "Think about it again. When I examined you before, I knew exactly what parts of your body you had. As a doctor, I am not afraid. What's so...good about you..."

It got better for a long time, but it didn't get better.

Outside the door, Shang Qingmeng was dressed in white, looking as calm as if her junior sister had died.

"Big brother, Senior Sister?!"

Ziping was struck by lightning, her face turned pale, the world was spinning in front of her eyes, and she felt like she was going to die.

No, I can still be saved!

The strong desire to survive made Zi Ping have an unrealistic hope for life, and she said dryly: "Big sister, when did you come?"

"When you toss and turn and can't sleep." Shang Qingmeng replied indifferently.

"..."

Ziping nodded secretly. She could still be saved just now, but now she is really doomed.

She didn't give up, and hurriedly explained: "Big sister, you know me, the relationship between me and my senior brother is clearer than water, and we occasionally meet only to make money and pay off debts..."

"No need to explain, I just believe what I saw with my own eyes."

Shang Qingmeng said calmly: "Go back to the mountain gate and wait for me. Don't wander around. I have something to tell you. Go out now and don't get in the way."

"Senior Sister..."

"go out."

Shang Qingmeng walked around Ziping and walked slowly into the distance, her steps light and graceful, like a fairy descending to earth.

Halfway through the walk, probably because her old shoulders became slippery, her white shirt slipped off, revealing her skin which was whiter than snow, her shoulders and back as charmingly cut as if by a knife, her slender waist that could be held in one hand, her slim, white legs that were well-proportioned, without a single flaw.

The back view was so beautiful that Ziping was stunned.

Senior sister is so beautiful!
Xiang Yuan: (_)
The Grandmaster of the Tongyou period came and went without a trace, and his realm advantage was there. He had no sense of when Shang Qingmeng came. He only knew that the sword mark on his chest was erased. Shang Qingmeng shouldn't have come to him so soon.

There's a mole!
A Ping, it was you who brought her here!

Xiang Yuan understood the reason after a little thought. It must be that Zi Ping sneaked out late at night like a thief, and was followed by Shang Qingmeng.

Thinking of this, he looked past Shang Qingmeng and glared at Zi Ping.

Ji Boli suffered a loss once and there is no way he would be fooled a second time. If Shang Qingmeng left another sword mark, where would he find a second Tongyou period master to sacrifice?
What, Xiao Feng?

That's fine.

Taoist Ziping responded with a pitiful look and asked Xiang Yuan to help say a few good words, otherwise the next time they met, there was a high chance that she had appeared in Xiang Yuan's dream.

Xiang Yuan sneered. He had a basic knowledge of medicine and knew the "look" in the four methods of diagnosis and treatment. He could tell at a glance that Ziping's forehead was black, indicating a bloody disaster.

There is no cure! Wait till you die! Goodbye!
Shang Qingmeng stood in front of Xiang Yuan and saw that he didn't have her in his eyes and was still exchanging glances with Zi Ping. A look of displeasure flashed in her eyes. She raised her hand, straightened Xiang Yuan's head, and held him in her arms.

To the far:)`(
Shang Qingmeng turned sideways and looked coldly at Zi Ping who was standing stupidly at the door: "Get out!"

"Ah this..."

Senior Sister, are you being too hasty?

Ziping stepped back cautiously, closed the door politely, and wiped the cold sweat from her forehead.

I hesitated in front of the door for a moment, wanting to knock and ask her if she could stay.

I don't mean any other thing. When the senior sister took the medicine, there must be some omissions. She really wants to take some back to study.

After Zi Ping left, Xiang Yuan finally broke free, picked up the white shirt on the ground and put it on Shang Qingmeng in a bad mood: "I have told you so many times, don't take off your clothes when there are outsiders around. Zi Ping's eyes are wide open, and I am at a disadvantage!"

Hearing the word "outsider", Shang Qingmeng nodded and frowned, "Why is the sword mark I left gone? Who is that person?"

"You...are not in the right state right now."

Xiang Yuan frowned, thinking it was necessary to remind him: "I have repeatedly told you that this is retribution. I will help you practice, and you will never be tempted. Why don't you keep your word?"

"I'm not tempted."

"Then why are you bullying Junior Sister Ziping? You know very well that there is nothing between her and me. We are just doing business." Xiang Yuan was speechless. Not to mention that there was nothing, even if there was, it was not Shang Qingmeng's turn to worry about it.

"She's in the way!"

Shang Qingmeng looked calm and confident, "Besides, I have long cut off all emotions and desires, and there is absolutely no such thing as a romantic relationship. You are overthinking it."

Her voice was calm and firm, as if she was stating an irrefutable fact, and her eyes were as calm as a still pond, without a trace of fluctuation.

No means no, so Xiang Yuan should stop dreaming. When the day comes when her cultivation no longer needs medicated supplements, please part ways with her in peace and don't get entangled.

"..."

I see you don’t understand anything!

Ten thousand words, please vote for me at the beginning of the month!
