I heard that I am cannon fodder [Transmigration Book]

After listening to him, Mr. Yu explained: "Take him away first, and then release him after a while."

If a living person stays in the soul-locking bottle for a period of time, his cultivation base will also decrease accordingly. If Mo Shiqing is not cheating and is really put into the soul-locking bottle, he will be locked up for ten days and a half months first.

"Yes." Xia Ke had no objection, and after handing over the soul-locking bottle to Mr. Yu for safekeeping, he said in a low voice, "Master, I'll go back to the medicine house first."

Mr. Yu understood his thoughts as soon as he heard it, and waved his hand very simply: "You go, let me handle it here."

In the Yaohu study room, Qin Shu was sitting behind the desk next to the window, flipping through Xia Ke’s refining handbook. The paper was slightly yellowed, the handwriting was vigorous and powerful, the words were concise and clear, combined with pictures and texts, and explained in detail. It is not difficult for a layman who knows nothing to read, which is enough to show the good intentions of the person who compiled this experience.

The more he realizes this intention, the more Qin Shu blames himself in his heart. Because of his own concerns, knowing that his senior brother might like him, using such a perfunctory and indifferent attitude to reject people thousands of miles away is really a shame. It hurts so much.

"Meow?" Sensing his distraction, the little orange cat who was lying on the side came over and arched the back of his hand with its head, as if to remind him not to be distracted.

"Got it, got it." Qin Shu looked as if he knew his mistake and corrected it, turned his attention back to the notebook, and continued to read.

A craftsman is a profession with a very high upper limit. The weapons, magic weapons, and armors of practitioners can all be refined. They are divided into three grades: mortal weapons, treasure weapons, and immortal weapons. The quality of the three levels varies. It is further divided into upper, middle and lower grades.

Xia Ke spent a lot of rare materials to refine the spirit storage ball, which is a top-grade fairy weapon, and it is also a rare and priceless magic weapon that can't be found.

Refining an immortal weapon largely depends on talent and luck. The same material consumes the same amount of spiritual power and energy, but there is only a small probability that it will be top-grade.

Xia Ke's talent and luck in refining weapons are really enviable.

After reading through the entire manuscript, Qin Shu basically understood the things that need to be prepared for refining weapons. In addition to heaven, material and earth treasures, and weapon refining techniques, he also needs to know a little bit about formations to improve the final quality of magic weapons .

The materials have to be saved slowly. Although he said that he doesn't have to worry about food and clothing, he is actually... very poor, and he only has a few spirit stones.

How to earn Lingshi?

Just when he was deep in thought, the little orange cat suddenly stood up energetically: "Meow!"

Qin Shu looked up, and his heart skipped two beats involuntarily: Brother is back!

The tall and straight man in black, holding a sword in his left hand, walked steadily across the stone path in the courtyard, walking towards him.The golden sunlight shone on his body, coating his whole body with a hazy light, and he looked a little gentler.

It was obviously still the same face, with clear lines and clear contours, handsome features, and the corners of the mouth were slightly pursed, just like when we first met, everything in the world seemed to be out of his sight.

But at this moment, Qin Shu clearly saw himself in his eyes.

Thump, thump, thump—

He felt as if he were sick.

Those original concerns became less important at the moment when Xia Ke left without saying goodbye and reappeared in front of him.

Qin Shu stood up, clenched his hands slightly, and it took a lot of effort to restrain his urge to run over.

hold on.

He told himself so in his heart, at least, when he recovered his memory.

"Brother, you are back."

"Yeah." Xia Ke nodded slightly, looked at the young man without a trace, saw that his mood was not as depressed as yesterday, and secretly relieved a lot, so he explained his sudden departure earlier, "Yesterday, I suddenly received a message from Tianxing. The elder's letter, the situation is urgent, so I didn't tell you."

"Yeah. Master told me everything." Qin Shu nodded understandingly, and told him that he couldn't help, and would worry instead, but...

"Senior brother, when you leave next time, I hope you can inform me personally."

The young man looked at him resolutely, with a very serious expression on his expression.

Xia Ke was taken aback, remembering the time he left without saying goodbye a long time ago, after thinking about it for a while, he nodded decisively: "Okay."

Seeing that he should be so straightforward, Qin Shu couldn't help but feel a little warmth and a little joy in his heart: people outside said that the master of Tianzhaomen should not enter the stranger, which is unreasonable. Only he knows that the brother himself is just like the master. , hot and cold outside, very considerate.

"Brother, you just came back from the mainland, haven't you had time to eat yet? Are you hungry? I'll go get you something to eat, you wait for me!"

Looking at the back of the young man rushing to the kitchen, the corners of Xia Ke's mouth slightly raised: "Okay."

"Miwu." The little orange cat, which rarely ran with Qin Shu, jumped down from the window sill, and came to Xia Ke's feet, sniffed it carefully, and raised its head and let out a soft cry.

Xia Ke turned his head and glanced at the busy young man in the kitchen, bent down, picked up the little orange cat, went to the place where Qin Shu specially placed snacks, and took some dried fish and meat.

When Mr. Yu finished handling the matter and rushed back to the medicine house with Chu Xun, the number one injured student, and his other apprentice Lu Xuan, what he saw was the scene in front of him: on the stone table under the grape arbor in the courtyard, The little orange cat was purring happily while lowering its head to lick the dried meat on the plate, while Xia Ke was patiently crushing the dried fish and putting them on the plate one by one...

Such a harmonious and beautiful scene seemed familiar, but on weekdays, Qin Shu sat where Xia Ke sat.

Mr. Yu didn't think it was strange because Xia Ke's thought had already been found out. His apprentice had made more than one exception for the sake of Xiaoshu.

Even... this cat is very likely to be the reincarnation of the legendary Demon Emperor!

Thinking of this, Mr. Yu's expression changed again and again, and finally he managed to calm down, and turned to look at his other two apprentices, but unexpectedly: Chu Xun, who had always said that he was about to die, turned out to be like a flashback, whoosh All of a sudden, it floated to the kitchen.

"Oh, little brother, what delicious food is this, it's so delicious! Could it be that you knew that I'm back, brother, and prepared it for me?"

Mr. Yu: "..." What a self-confident child.

Chu Xun was talking to himself, so he reached out to lift the lid of the pot, and then——

Qin Shu blocked it with a spatula.

The young man retorted mercilessly: "Brother Chu, don't make trouble, get out! Get out!"

"Master, is that your new little apprentice?" Naturally, Lu Xuan was not as reckless as Chu Xun. He stood there politely, dressed in white clothes with a dusty temperament, and he was as gentle as jade, with an extraordinary bearing, and even his voice was unmistakable. It gives people a feeling of spring breeze.

"That's right, his name is Qin Shu." Mr. Yu nodded rather proudly, and asked, "Do you see what's going on here?"

They were standing some distance away from the kitchen. The wind in the yard was mixed with the special fragrance of herbs. Most people might not be able to distinguish it. They just felt that the people in the kitchen were cooking something delicious. The fragrance was very attractive.

Lu Xuan is famous for both medicine and poison, so he is naturally not an ordinary person. He closed his eyes lightly, and after a little discernment, he discovered the secret: "Is this the method of a pharmacist?"

"It's not correct to say that. Xiaoshu has never been to the mainland, and he doesn't understand medical principles. Maybe it's because of his extraordinary talent. After his treatment of Lingzhi, there is almost no loss of spiritual power, and it is highly purified, which is more suitable for human body absorption. " Mr. Yu explained with pride, his words were full of pride.

Lu Xuan responded curiously, and smiled: "So, my junior brother is very suitable to join my Shuiyun Valley."

Mr. Yu turned his head and took a look at him, seeing that he seemed to want to fix him up and take him back to the valley in advance, so he deliberately reminded: "He is learning how to make weapons from Xia Ke."

"Refining?" Lu Xuan was surprised. With such a great talent, instead of going to Shuiyun Valley, why not go to Tianzhaomen?Could it be... Poor?

He couldn't help thinking of Xia Ke's reason for joining Tianzhaomen in the first place. To be precise, they were tricked by their master, who mistakenly thought that it was easy for a craftsman to make money. The money that was not lost was lost, but a large amount of wealth was saved.

"It's a pity that not everyone has the talent of Junior Brother Xia Ke." Lu Xuan was just discussing the matter, apparently not giving up on his previous plan.

Mr. Yu shook his head helplessly: "This is not just a matter of talent."

Soon, as a doctor, not only good at seeing, hearing and hearing, but also specializing in difficult and miscellaneous diseases, Lu Xuan, who is very proficient in medical science and toxicology, discovered the clue: this little junior has a very good appearance and a good temper. It's also quite likable, why do you have a soft spot for the cold junior brother Xia Ke?

It seems that it is quite difficult for him to abduct his junior brother back to Shuiyun Valley.

When Qin Shu brought a pile of snacks, fruit soup, cold dishes, and sweet soup to the table, Mr. Yu's master and apprentice had already sat down at the table very consciously.

"Xiao Shu, let me introduce, this is Lu Xuan, and also your senior brother."

"Hi Senior Brother Lu, my name is Qin Shu." The young man greeted him obediently.

Looking at it, Lu Xuan felt more and more satisfied, what a good seedling, it's a pity to go to Tianzhaomen forging weapons.

"Hello, junior brother. I think you are quite talented in studying medicine. Shuiyun Valley is the most suitable for you. The singing of birds and the fragrance of flowers there are also suitable for health preservation. If you don't want to stay in the academy someday, you can come to my Shuiyun Valley..." Lu Xuan sent out the invitation kindly with a smile, and didn't care whether it was appropriate for her to poach someone in person.

Mr. Yu sat on the side, helplessly holding his forehead: Although this Lu Xuan is not as flamboyant and capable of causing trouble as Chu Xun, but he is too... unreasonable.

"Thank you, Senior Brother Lu, for your kindness. I don't want to leave the academy just yet." Qin Shu said frankly that he is currently practicing, and he has not even stepped over the threshold. He doesn't even have the ability to protect himself at all, let alone going to the mainland.

Lu Xuan was not disappointed when he heard the words, and continued:

: "It's okay, if you change your mind one day, you can contact me at any time. If you have anything to do, you can also ask Master to pass the message on your behalf."

"Junior Brother Lu Xuan, are you going too far? Everything comes first, first served. I haven't invited my junior brother to Jinglei Hall yet. How can you jump in line?" Chu Xun was drinking sweet soup from a bowl, and looked at Lu Xuan's words. Immediately jumped out in a robbing posture, and then looked at Qin Shu with a smile, "Little brother, studying medicine is not fun at all, and you deal with dead people every day. The food you cook is so delicious, why don't you go back to Jinglei Temple with me. Wouldn't it be nice for us to eat delicious food, drink spicy food, and play around all the fairy schools?"

It's a pity that even if Chu Xun smiled, he was a bit evil, and he seemed to have bad intentions.

Qin Shu naturally refused without thinking about it.

Chu Xun wanted to say something more, but found that he... couldn't make a sound. He turned his head to look at Lu Xuan who was sitting upright like a daffodil, and gestured dissatisfiedly: Junior brother, you actually poisoned me?You are too much!Quickly detoxify me!

Lu Xuan seemed to be okay, and ignored him at all, but inadvertently revealed two silver needles between his fingers, which made Chu Xun stop talking in an instant, and continued to drink soup honestly.

He just couldn't speak right now, if he offended Lu Xuan, he probably wouldn't even have to drink the soup.

It is said that the people in Shuiyun Valley have a good temper, most of them follow the temperament of the owner of the valley, Lu Xuan, and they don't like to argue with others. In fact, it is because... Lu Xuan tries to keep his mouth shut when he can do it.

Smart people know what to say and what not to say after they have suffered a few times.

In this regard, Mr. Yu turned a blind eye to it, obviously already used to it.

Sitting across from the two of them, Qin Shu saw all the things in his eyes, and couldn't help feeling deeply: Brother Lu Xuan is so cool!

When he and Rong Xiaoxiao went to the class for the first time, they happened to meet Mo Shiqing in class. When they first saw each other, they thought that he was a gentleman, a gentle and elegant beauty. He also heard that Mo Shiqing and Lu Xuan were the most similar, but looking at him now Come on, this rumor is really unbelievable.

Mo Shiqing's disguised image was pure and elegant, without a trace of fireworks, which made people feel that there was a layer of veil behind them, which was very unreal.

Needless to say about Lu Xuan's appearance, first-class good-looking, picturesque eyebrows and eyes, like a temperamental beauty walking out of a picture scroll, every word and deed is natural, without deliberate embellishment.

But he is a real person, he has his own preferences, he will not suppress dissatisfaction, and he will not hesitate when it is time to act.

"Lu Xuan is good-looking?" Afterwards, when there was no one in private, Xia Ke asked seemingly casually.

"Brother Lu?" Qin Shu was stunned for a moment, thought about it carefully, and nodded, "It's pretty pretty, just like the beauties walking out of the painting."

Xia Ke's eyebrows moved slightly: "...Oh." No wonder he just stared at him so many times.

"But in my heart, naturally you are the prettiest brother!"

With a childlike appearance, he spoke the most simple words, but when they fell into the ears of the caring people, they derived unusual meanings.

Xia Ke raised his eyes, his eyes flickered, he couldn't tell what he was looking forward to, until the young man just happened to look up at him, his eyes met, and he could clearly see his figure in each other's eyes, he suddenly had an epiphany .

What exactly does he want.

He hoped that Qin Shu's most concerned person would always be him, not others.

Such a thought seems very...selfish.

After Xia Ke realized this, he was a little shocked. Since he was a child, he has never been too attached to something or someone. Obsession can easily give birth to inner demons, which is not good for practice.

It is precisely because of this idea that in the past so many years, there have been many people who have admired him in their hearts. If you are more courageous, there are quite a few who take the initiative to express their hearts to him, but he has never considered finding a partner.

Back then, when his master forced him to marry that man, he knew that his master had treated him as much as a mountain, but he didn't want to wrong him, and used a relationship to repay that kindness.This stubbornness, in some people's eyes, is that he does not know good from bad, but in fact, he has always followed his true inner thoughts.

It's like meeting Qin Shu, from the calm first meeting at the beginning, to the fateful intersection afterwards, maybe because of curiosity, or maybe because of something else, the figure of the young man broke into his world, leaving a lasting impression on him. There are traces.

This trace, with the passage of time, not only did not disappear, but became more and more clear.

By the time he realized it, Qin Shu's weight in his heart had exceeded his expectations.

"Senior Brother?" Qin Shu vaguely realized that Xia Ke was distracted, and he looked curiously at the man close at hand. Frankly speaking, in terms of appearance alone, Senior Brother fits his aesthetics better than Senior Brother Lu. Speaking carefully, looking at the other party's handsome face at this moment, unexpectedly gave birth to an impulse, wanting to...

Seeing that Xia Ke was still immersed in his own thoughts, Qin Shu rolled his throat, stood on tiptoe, leaned forward, quickly touched his cheek, and then... staggered very poorly, pretending to fall on the ground Land: "Ouch!"

Xia Ke stood up quickly when he heard the movement, and immediately helped him up, asking repeatedly: "Where did you fall? Does it hurt? Let me see."

Qin Shu's face flushed, and he regretted: "Qing Yu is completely ruined!"Why are you so impulsive?He can obviously find a more suitable opportunity!

And now, can he say that he just flopped?It's so embarrassing, it's only his fault that he was fascinated by the beauty for a while, and did such a mindless thing!

"No, nothing." The young man stammered, with a guilty conscience.

Xia Ke was slightly taken aback, and carefully recalled the situation just now. He just suddenly realized that the true thoughts in his heart were too shocking to react. It wasn't that his soul was out of his body, so... Qin Shu's actions just now, he actually remembered. .

At that moment, the fresh and pleasant smell on the young man was very close to him, and the soft touch on his cheeks seemed to linger.

"You just-"

"Brother!" Qin Shu yelled, his heart beating faster because of his nervousness.

Xia Ke pretended to be calm and nodded: "Say it."

Qin Shu bit the bullet and acted like a hooligan: "I, I just kissed you, and it wasn't intentional. If you feel that you are at a disadvantage, then I will kiss you back?"
