lead fades away

Qing Shi can probably understand why Shen Chenzhou strengthened his determination to cultivate the sword after learning that it was almost impossible for the sword cultivator to ascend.Shen Chenzhou is a person with a delicate mind. When doing things, he likes to stay on the front line in everything, so naturally he can't avoid the problems of looking forward and backward, and shrinking his hands and feet.And Shen Chenzhou, like Qingshi, is self-aware, and he is very clear about his own problems.It is also because of this that although Xiujian cut off his hope of ascension, he also eliminated his doubts about the future. It is easier to improve his cultivation by concentrating on the present.

However, Shen Chenzhou's choice is his own business, and Qing Shi gives advice and doesn't care about the result.After Han Shuo left, Qingshi became so busy that he didn't even know when all the guests who participated in the God Transformation Ceremony disappeared.The arrangement of the cave can be postponed, but the restrictions in the cave must be understood quickly, and the medicine field inside must be re-planted with a new magic circle.And in the valley outside the cave, although the construction of the Elder Hall does not require him to spend too much thought, it cannot be completely used as a shopkeeper. After all, although the specifications of the Elder Hall have been customized, it is easy to play tricks on the materials. Cutting corners too much and causing problems in future use, he will also be held responsible—Of course, Qingshi does not think that Han Shuo will punish him and abandon him because a corner of a side hall collapsed, after all, Han Shuo left him It's not because of how capable he is - that's not right, on another level, Han Shuo keeps him by his side because he is "capable"!

While Qingshi was busy cleaning up the cave, he also had to deal with Fairy Fengxi's doubts.Fortunately, his face is really hard to associate with that kind of thing, and Qing Shi used all his abilities to push Han Shuo's trust and importance on him to Fairy Fengxi herself, and soon Fairy Fengxi felt that Han Shuo's kindness to Qingshi was just an "empathy" because of her. Han Shuo gave her the baby-forming pill and helped her improve her cultivation level only to enable her to have a baby as soon as possible. Recast the physical body and restore the glamorous appearance of Wuyou Xianjun when he was young.As for whether Fairy Fengxi will have even more distorted associations after believing these words, I can't even care about it. Anyway, if a dead friend is not dead, even if Fairy Fengxi really has some thoughts, it will be Han Shuo who is in trouble. not him.

Sneaking in from his busy schedule, Qing Shi took the time to invite the little steward who was working together in Lingtian to have a big meal at Dengxianlou at the foot of the mountain.Of course, at this time, almost the entire Xiantrumen knew that Qingshi was valued by Elder Han. His treat immediately brought a large group of people here, including the few who didn't reply when he sent out the sound transmission talisman last time, and I haven't done any work on the Lingtian at all, but I have relatives and friends who are even invited.I don't care too much about it, I reserved a few large private rooms on the second floor of Dengxian Tower, and "invited" those who were unfamiliar or unwilling to go to the large private rooms to eat and drink, while I went with a few disciples of Xianchumen with relatively high loyalty Another cubicle.

This meal is just to let these former followers confirm that he did not lose his job in Lingtian because of other people's suppression, and by the way, let everyone know that Qingshi will not abandon his past just because he climbed a higher branch. A brother who has shared weal and woe.Qingshi didn't make any promises at the dinner table, maybe she can't and doesn't need to.The posts in the Hall of Elders will only exist when the Hall of Elders is officially in use, that is to say, before Han Shuo comes back, or more directly, before next year, these errands will not exist in the Hall of Management.Moreover, according to the school rules, even if Han Shuo comes back, the Hall of the Elders needs to employ someone, and the disciples who want to serve in the Hall of the Elders must first be recommended by the Stewards Hall before they can be selected in the Hall of the Elders. Dare to talk too much.

On the other hand, many of the people Qingshi met in Lingtian had real skills in immortal planting. Whether these people are willing to work in the Elder Hall is one thing, and whether Xiannongtang is willing to let them go is also the same. one thing.Although Jingli and Qingshi, who took over the errand, were at odds with Qingshi, after all, Jingli was not Qingshi. He could not make a speech in Lingtian, and there were masters and brothers watching behind him. According to his own preferences.The main reason why Xinyi lost her job was that she had no real ability, not the kind of indispensable and irreplaceable talent, if she could be used at any rate, others would naturally not need her.

Of course, there is the most important point, that is, these cultivators are different from ordinary people in the lower realm.Ordinary people in the lower realm would starve to death if they had no income for a few months, but their cultivators didn't have any worries in this regard.Disciples above the Qi refining stage can enjoy free food and a small amount of support, no matter which fairy sect will never let them starve to death like ordinary people.It was also for this reason that Qing Shi boldly left them alone, waiting for them to come to ask for their own initiative.

What should be appeased, what should be maintained, and what should be maintained, after dealing with these mundane matters, he began to concentrate on taking care of Han Shuo's cave.There are not many valuable places in Han Shuo's cave, the underground spiritual veins count as one, and the cave's prohibition counts as one.The pool of water brought from nowhere is also a spiritual spring, but compared to this water, the strange tree growing next to it is more valuable.In addition, there should be another secret room in the stone chamber carved out of the rock wall, but although Qing Shi was curious about what was inside, he was even more unwilling to spend that effort and courage to climb the rock wall, so he gave up on the rock wall from the very beginning. It was a waste of time to focus on delving into the outermost layer of restrictions first.

Soon, Qingshi decided that Han Shuo's design and arrangement of this restriction was absolutely impossible.Although Han Shuo's cultivation base is high, he is not proficient in miscellaneous knowledge other than kendo, and the characteristic of his kendo is straight-forward, contrary to the complex and delicate things like banning, if it really takes time and energy To study this kind of thing, it is impossible to be promoted to Huashen at such an age.

— What a wonderful set of prohibitions!

Qing Shi was quickly fascinated by the formations, runes and their interactions used in the ban. It took more than a month to finally divide and understand these formations and runes. It is impossible to fully understand the full effect of the prohibition, but several basic usages are under control, and even the divisions of the array can be used to make a small version of the restraint that has been shrunk.

Then, Qing Shi noticed that he hadn't paid attention to the construction of the Elder's Hall for a month, so he quickly tidied up his appearance and left the cave to fulfill his supervisory responsibility.Fortunately, it seems that no one intends to make trouble in the Elder's Hall. The speed of construction is step-by-step, and the materials used have not been cut corners. The appearance makes Qing even a little unbearable.

However, the restriction of the cave mansion has been replaced by Qing Shi into a mode where the inside can see the outside and the outside can't see the inside. From now on, Qing Shi can see the valley outside when standing in Han Shuo's cave, but the disciples working in the valley are not. I don't know the existence of light.

——This feeling of hiding behind the scenes as a black hand is so good!

I thought proudly.

The next few months passed more leisurely, and the medicinal fields in the cave were only busy for a while. After the new medicinal materials were planted, they only needed regular supervision just like the Elder Hall under construction outside.Looking at the high-level herbs in the medicine field growing well under the abundant spiritual energy, thinking about how many spirit stones can be saved when making the next stage of body quenching potion, my mood is as hot and bright as the noon sun.

Xinyi never came to him again. I don't know if she finally calmed down to practice or found a new target to be exploited. Qing even has no time or interest to inquire about her. can always be seen.During this period, Xuan Weiyang also wrote a private letter to Qingshi. After a bunch of gorgeous but meaningless rhetoric, he invited Qingshi to attend the double cultivation ceremony of Xuanzi Mausoleum in Xuantian Immortal Realm on the eighteenth day of the first lunar month next year. Accompanied by other seniors.Qing Shi hesitated for a while, but still wrote a reply letter that was also full of nonsense, but he didn't give a single word as to whether to go or not.

Compared with others, Shen Chenzhou and Qing Shi are as common as ever.Because of Han Shuo's relationship, Qingshi has a much closer relationship with the entire No. [-] Peak, especially those disciples who have been appointed to go to the Elder Hall to practice, and they are even more kind and close to Qingshi. .However, some unharmonious things will inevitably happen. For example, Su Fangyi who was asked a few more words by Han Shuo is too familiar with Qingshi. On Zhou, the words clearly and implicitly pointed out how much Shen Chenzhou didn't want to be a sword cultivator. Since Qing Shi had a good relationship with Shen Chenzhou, he should share his worries so that he would not have to "embarrass" into the Elder Hall.

Su Fang was so sensible, so of course he would not be polite, so he turned around and sold him to Shen Chenzhou.

"Look, how kind they are to you. Knowing that you 'don't' want to go to the Elder's Hall, I will take the initiative to help you find a way." After learning Su Fang's original words, he smiled strangely.

"You're disgusting me!" Shen Chenzhou glared at Qingshi angrily, then frowned again, "I didn't expect this kid to be so thoughtful, I always thought of him as a little white rabbit before."

"The rabbit bites when it's in a hurry." Qing Shi coldly snorted disapprovingly, "But I don't understand why he plays such a trick, Elder Han has made it clear that he will not accept apprentices, no, even if you accept apprentices, it has nothing to do with you, you There has been a master for a long time, even if Elder Han accepts apprentices, he will not compete with him for the place."

"I won't compete for places, but I will grab resources." Shen Chenzhou shrugged, "Like my master, is it fair enough? But he can't treat his apprentices equally. He thinks highly of him. The second senior brother is talented and willing to work hard so he has his expectations. I am good at flattering so I please him. When there are good things, the master always thinks of the three of us first, and then remembers the other apprentices. So, no matter if it’s master-student or others, one less person means one less competitor.”

"Yeah, resources." Qing Shi sighed slightly, and then changed his voice, "However, this kid is not honest in his work, and he is more disgusting than that bastard in the well."

"Jingli can't be considered a bastard, he is just a fool." Shen Chenzhou smiled, "Okay, don't worry about it, since I know about this, I will remember it, and I will deal with him slowly when I have a chance."

"No, I think this kid is not pleasing to the eye, and it's too cheap to take care of him slowly." Qingshi shook his head seriously, and suddenly his eyes lit up, "Tell me, if he can't enter Elder Han's Hall of Elders, what kind of punishment will he be?" ?”

"Don't be kidding, Elder Han has already admitted his qualifications in public, how could he change his words again?" Shen Chenzhou frowned.

"It's not easy to make things happen, but it's easy to do bad things. It's not that difficult to find a reason to make Elder Han despise him!" Qing Shi said confidently.

"Stop messing around, don't dig a hole for others and bury yourself in the end! If Elder Han doesn't dislike him but is disappointed in you, are you losing money?!" Shen Chenzhou was neither optimistic about him nor Agreed, "Besides, he just said a few words, but he didn't succeed. We don't need to retaliate so hard, right? If Elder Han really doesn't want him, let alone the first peak, even Xian Chumen will probably not have it again." His foothold is now."

"If he can tell me small things about you, he can tell others about me. Similarly, although he only talks about people behind his back today, but if he doesn't keep it right tomorrow, he will stab people in his back." Qing Shi was unusually determined. , "I like to plan for a rainy day, and I will never do stupid things to fix the situation."

"What's the matter with you, Jingli has provoked you so much that you don't feel disgusted to this extent. He just said a few words to me, why are you so annoyed?" Shen Shenzhou asked puzzled.

"He's different from Jingli, who is angry but not sinister, and he touched my bottom line with a few words." Qing Shi said coldly.

"It's the first time I know that you still have a bottom line." Shen Chenzhou was about to tease, but seeing Qingshi's solemnity, he couldn't help correcting his expression, "Bear it again, just treat it as a face for me, and what will he say to you again?" Just pretend you didn’t hear it, but if he uses the same method to others again, I will deal with him together with you, even if you want to kill him, I will do it together with you—does it work?”

--Kill him?dirty hands.

Qing Shi sneered, but didn't veto it again, "Okay, like you said, give him another chance."

——No matter what Shen Chenzhou thinks, anyway, he will never leave such a person dangling under his nose!

Qing Shi indifferently made up his mind.

But Han Shuo won't come back for a while, and he's not in a hurry to do anything to Su Fang. He has a lot of things to do, and it's impossible for him to disrupt his pace of life just because of an unsightly mosquito.

The days passed day by day, and it seemed that November was coming to an end, and the new year would be ushered in in a few days.Qingshi was thinking whether Han Shuo would come back at the end of this year or the beginning of next year when a sound transmission talisman from Fairy Fengxi suddenly arrived and hurriedly called him to the Fourth Peak.

"Qingshi, why is your contribution value in this year's sect zero?!" Seeing Qingshi, Fairy Fengxi asked anxiously.

"Zero?" Qingshi couldn't help being taken aback for a moment, but after thinking about it for a while, his face changed, "Damn, they're cheating on me!"

"What's going on, explain it to me! Could it be that the management hall made a mistake?!" Fairy Fengxi said urgently.

"It's not a wrong calculation, they calculated it on purpose!" Qingshi gritted his teeth, "I gave the errands on the Lingtian to others before I finished them, and I didn't hand them over on time when changing people. The reward of Linggu I don't want it either, please be the head of the account. The errand of helping Elder Han with the Dongfu was directly asked by your aunt, and I think you have never registered and kept a file in the management hall, so naturally you don't. As for now, Elder Han’s Hall of Elders has not yet been completed, and even errands don’t exist, so where’s the remuneration and tribute, dedication, and value?”

"This... this is simply too deceitful!" Fairy Fengxi slapped the table in front of her angrily, "Follow me to see the head immediately, don't worry about anything else, first ask for your reward for planting the Spirit Valley!"

"You can't go, auntie!" Qingshi immediately held down Fairy Fengxi, "The stele of contribution value inside the door stands at the entrance of the steward's hall and everyone can see it. If anyone sees my contribution value will increase from zero to What will people think when the quota is full? How should I say it?"

"But if you don't get your contribution back, you'll have to go to Wuxia Wonderland next month! It's too dangerous!" Fairy Fengxi was anxious and annoyed.

According to the rules of Xiantrumen, the disciples in the Foundation Establishment Period must complete a certain amount of errands for the master every year, and generate corresponding contribution points according to the size and completion of the errands.The annual contribution value that each foundation-building disciple needs to achieve in the sect is clearly stipulated. If the minimum share requirement is still not met by the end of No. 11, he will be forced to be sent to the depths of the inner mountain in No. 12. Participate in the annual fairyland trial.

The Wuxia Wonderland itself is not very dangerous. It was originally a large-scale Void Mist Realm refined by an unknown generation of seniors of Xian Chumen. It can only be opened by monks casting spells at the same time, but only low-level monks below the foundation stage can enter it—to put it bluntly, this is the place for low-level monks to practice actual combat.

In addition, because the aura in the Wuxia Wonderland is abundant, it is very suitable for the growth of vegetation, so the first priority of the disciples who enter it to participate in the trial is to pick mature spiritual grass and sow new grass seeds.In addition to the spirit grass, there are many aggressive spirit beasts in the Wuxia Wonderland, but the most powerful ones are only similar to those in the early stage of Jindan and are extremely difficult to encounter. Even if you encounter them, you can use evasive tactics.Therefore, as far as the environment is concerned, Wuxia Wonderland is really not dangerous, but when a group of complicated people are added to this simple environment, everything will be very different.

The Wuxia Wonderland is really too big, and Xian Chumen has not thought of any effective way to effectively monitor the disciples in it from outside Xumi.Moreover, there is only one entrance and exit, which can only be opened and closed once a year. If you cannot return to the entrance and leave Wuxia Wonderland within the specified time, the result will be that you will never be able to leave—the existing elders in the Xianchumen do not know the reason, but there is one point There is no doubt that no matter how many times the Wuxia Wonderland has been opened again since then, those who failed to come out in time have neither come out nor been seen again.

"At this point, I have no choice but to go." Qingshi looked at Fairy Fengxi and said word by word, "You don't have to go to the head, and you can't go to the head. The Guanshitang is his direct subordinate. It was probably his handwriting."

"Impossible! Although Thirteen Chu is treacherous, he will never do anything to harm the interests of the Xiantrumen." Fairy Fengxi shook her head without hesitation, "You are beneficial and harmless to the Xiantrumen, it is impossible for him to harm you like this! There is no need to hurt you like this! Think carefully, have you offended someone again?!"

"If it's not the head, then it can only be that person." Qing Shi slowly spit out a name, "She Ji."
