lead fades away

Qing Shi walked out of the bedroom while yawning, but when he looked up, he saw Han Shuo sitting at the round table in the main hall, burning jade slips.

"Have you had enough sleep?" Hearing the movement behind him, Han Shuo asked without looking back.

"Probably." Qingshi walked up to Han Shuo, pulled up a chair and sat down, only to find that there were about ten jade slips of the same size on the table, and asked casually, "What is this for?"

"Make a record of each of them's identity, cultivation level, and entry into the country, so that we can compare them in the future and teach them in accordance with their aptitude." Han Shuo replied.

"You are serious." Qing Shi curled his lips, thinking that this must be the apprenticeship skill he learned in the library, and then he couldn't help but yawned again.

"If you're sleepy, go back to sleep." Han Shuo frowned.

"I still have to go out for a while, let's talk about it when I come back." Qing Shi stretched his waist, "I said that today you are going to preach and teach, is it over?"

"Go out and see the sun yourself, what time is it?" Han Shuo glanced at Qing Shi, "What are you going to do now?"

"Let's see if your group of disciples are satisfied with this Elder Hall." Qing Shi lazily replied, "When you were teaching today, did they complain about anything? For example, there are no decorations in the room, and the servants are not serving you well. ..."

"They dare?" Han Shuo stared displeased.

"That's right. Even if I have any dissatisfaction, I dare not complain to you. It's just that I don't know what I think in private." Qing Shi said, and he stood up, "I'll go around and I'll be back in a while."

Han Shuo didn't stop him again, but he understood that the Wuming Valley was a big place, Han Shuo released a little bit of consciousness to cover it all up, and when he went out, he knew exactly what he was doing and saying in the cave. .

After leaving Han Shuo's cave, Qingshi went directly to the Elder's Hall opposite, but he didn't see the disciples entering the hall, but called Ding Hu, the head of the handyman.Ding Hu was someone who used Qingshi when he was an errand in the spiritual field. His spiritual root was a mixed spirit root of four lines. He was almost thirty and he was only in the middle stage of Qi refining. Seeing that there was no hope of establishing a foundation.But Ding Hu has a very good mentality. If he has no talent, he will not try his best in cultivation, and if he has no background, he will not compete with those who have strong backers.Qingshi has used him several times in Lingtian's work and found it very convenient, so he often gives him some care, and Ding Hu also knows how to repay him. He is capable, and Jingli didn't drive him away from the Lingtian after he took over.This time Han Shuo's elder hall servant, Qingshi went directly to Ding Hu and asked him if he would like to come over to be the head of the handyman. Ding Hu quit his job in Lingtian without saying a word, and followed Qingshi to Han Shuo's elder hall.

Qingshi didn't follow Ding Hu into the room to spy, and directly pulled him to stand under the tree outside the hall, and asked straight to the point, "Is no one looking for trouble?"

"No, one is more honest than the other, that is..." Ding Hu scratched his head, "The man named Jiang Zhe asked us to beg for food last night. We were not prepared, so we had to tell him no, but he didn't say anything. What, I don’t want any more today.”

"Begging for food?" Qingshi couldn't help but be taken aback, that guy is a monk in the Foundation Establishment period, isn't he still bigu?

"You also find it strange?" Ding Hu looked around and saw that there was no one else, so he leaned into Qingshi's ear and whispered, "I also find it strange. Today I went to the Fifth Peak to inquire about this Cultivator Jiang."

"What did you find out?" Qing Shi felt that this person was unfamiliar, so he immediately asked.

"He is over 100 years old!" Ding Hu exclaimed exaggeratedly, "Looking at his appearance, I thought he was about the same age as you, but I only found out when I went to the fifth peak today to inquire. , My god, she is older than my grandfather! I heard that the foundation was established when I was in my 60s, and it is only in the middle stage of foundation establishment now!"

——Speaking so happily, could it be that his existence gave you confidence in your future?

The corners of Qing Shi's mouth twitched, but he still asked, "What does this have to do with his eating?"

"Uh, this..." Ding Hu was stunned for a moment, and soon laughed dryly, obviously looking for surprises at Jiang Zhe's age, but he forgot the real reason why he went to inquire.

"Okay, this is the end of this matter, don't ask me any more, so as not to cause people to think too much." Qing Shi said seriously, "In the future, if other people want something we don't have, you can just say it directly like this time. It’s fine if you don’t have it, anyway, all the rules have been settled, and Elder Han has also agreed, if anyone has doubts, let him talk to me directly.”

"Yes." Ding Hu nodded quickly.

"What about the others, did they live in the Elder's Hall last night?" Qing Shi asked again.

"Yes, and I see that they all want to live here for a long time, and the house is well taken care of." Ding Hu deliberately emphasized the word "careful".

"If you want to live for a long time, then live for a long time." Qing Shi curled his lips, "When you are free, you should work hard on your cultivation. This place is rich in aura, and it is much cheaper to practice than other places. See if you can still do it when you are 60 years old. Foundation Establishment, you are only a little older, don't give up so early."

"Don't worry, little uncle, I understand." Ding Hu laughed.

"What are you supposed to do? Go ahead and send me the sound transmission talisman if you need something urgent—" Qingshi said, slapped his head violently, and quickly grabbed a handful of sound transmission talismans from his treasure bag and stuffed them to Ding Hu.To him, the sound transmission talisman is like plain boiled water, but to a handyman disciple like Ding Hu, it is considered a luxury, and he is not willing to buy it easily.

"Thank you little uncle." Ding Hu quickly took it and put it away.

"Has Deacon Yu gone out?" Qing Shi asked casually.

"Yu Daojun didn't go out. Today only Uncle Su Fang from the first peak left the valley after Elder Han's lecture, and he hasn't come back yet." Ding Hu replied.

"Oh?" Qingshi raised his eyebrows, but didn't say anything else, waved his hand to let Ding Hu take care of himself, and walked towards the north corner of the valley by himself.

Ding Hu's description of Jiang Zhe made Qingshi think of a possibility, but after thinking about it, he felt that if it was as he guessed, even if Jiang Zhe could hide it from Daoist Qi Xun, it would be impossible to hide it from Han Shuo, Han Shuo Since Shuo allowed him to enter the palace, his existence must have been acquiesced by the sect, or even deliberately sent for Han Shuo to cultivate.

— Forget it, there is no need to think too much about such irrelevant matters, just ask Han Shuo directly.

Qing Shi shook his head, and continued to walk towards the north corner of the valley - Yu Wang's refining room.

It stands to reason that Yu Wang should live in the main hall behind the elders' hall according to Qingshi's arrangement, but he was only concerned about the unfinished spiritual weapon in his hand, and Qingshi didn't want him to neglect this craft, so he hurried Before the official opening of the Presbyterian Hall, he found out the direction of the fire, and dug a basement for him in the corner of the valley to draw out the fire.In this way, even though Yu Wang had a place to refine weapons, he was far away from the Hall of Elders. After all, furnaces were inevitable for refining weapons. If the Hall of Elders was also blown up at that time, the fun would be great. Light even had to plan ahead.

After the basement was built, Yu Wang almost lived there, just like when he was on the first peak, he kept a well-built cave, soaked in the fire room and ate ashes all day long.Based on his understanding of Yu Wang, Qing Shi didn't try his luck in the Elder's Hall at all, and ran directly to the newly built refining room.

Qingshi walked into the crude basement along the stone steps of the entrance, wondering why Yu Wang didn't open the restriction, and let him break in so easily, but when he looked up, he found that there was not only Yu Wang in the basement, but also another person who was also very familiar with him. A familiar crony——Shen Shenzhou.

"Hey, are you here? Are you here to learn how to refine weapons again?" Qing Shi immediately raised his hand to greet him.

"You just woke up, right?" Shen Chenzhou rolled his eyes and asked back.

"How do you know?" Qing Shi pretended to be surprised and widened his eyes.

"Are you really just waking up?" Shen Chenzhou was really surprised, "Elder Han doesn't care about you?"

"He can still control me to sleep?" Qing Shi pouted, "Besides, I've been busy working on him for a while now, and now I'm finally free, don't you want to sleep for a while?"

"Xu, of course Xu, your old man has done a lot of hard work, who dares to say no?" Knowing that there must be no end to arguing with him about this kind of gossip, Shen Chenzhou immediately took the initiative to ask for peace, and changed the subject by the way, "It's about this time , why are you still here?"

"It's definitely not a good thing. He always goes to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing." Yu Wang said with a sly smile on his face.

"You heartless dead fish head, when would it be a good thing for me to find you?" Qing Shi immediately glared, "Do you dare to speak with your conscience and swear to your demon?!"

Yu Wang smiled sheepishly, and the expression on his face became more and more strange, "Is it okay if I said the wrong thing, don't scare me, I'm really afraid of you."

Qing Shi snorted coldly, then reached out and took out a piece of jade slip, and handed it to Yu Wang, "Make something for me."

"I just said it's nothing good." Yu Wang couldn't help muttering in a low voice as he took the jade slip, swept away his consciousness, and then called out, "Hey, hey, you're looking for me as a wine jar?!"

"If you tell you to do it, you do it, what's the point?!" Qing Shi raised his hand and gave Yu Wang a smack.

"Wine jar? What do you want to toss about?" Shen Chenzhou asked curiously.

"What can the wine jar do? Of course it's making wine." Qing Shi rolled his eyes.Several failures made him understand that the method of using an external magic circle to induce birth is definitely not feasible, but he really didn't have the patience to wait a year or so for the spirit wine to ferment naturally, so he came up with a New idea - bury the built-in magic circle in the jar of wine.

"You want to brew spirit wine?" Shen Chenzhou's eyes lit up, "How about counting me in?"

"I haven't flipped the horoscope yet!" Qing Shi curled his mouth, "Besides, how do you know I'm going to sell? What did you invest in?"

"You guys have always been unprofitable." Shen Chenzhou smiled flatteringly, "If you count me as one, I can still work as a coolie for Junior Brother Qingshi."

Qing Shi pretended to be arrogant and looked Shen Chenzhou up and down, but soon his heart moved, and he frowned, "You don't have any spirit stones, do you?"

Shen Chenzhou looked embarrassed, and laughed dryly, "Junior Brother Qingshi is really wise."

"Is there really no spirit stone?" Qingshi's face darkened, "You used a piece of broken peach wood to make a spirit sword, could it be because there is no spirit stone and you can't afford good materials?"

"Hehe." Shen Chenzhou continued to laugh dryly.

Yu Wang next to him was confused, "What's wrong with not having any spirit stones, and I often don't have any spirit stones to spend, why don't you make such a big fuss?"

——Can you two be the same? !

Qingshi wanted to pull Shen Chenzhou out to talk about it in detail, but he was afraid that such a deliberate avoidance of Yu Wang would cause him a suspicion, so he continued to ask cryptically, "Recently, you have been spending a lot?"

Shen Chenzhou smiled, and finally said, "No, it's just... just sit and eat."

Qingshi was speechless for a while, and after a while he opened his mouth and said, "Can I borrow some from you?"

Shen Chenzhou smiled and shook his head.

Qingshi didn't insist on borrowing him, pondered for a while, then turned to look at Yu Wang suddenly, and asked abruptly, "Yu Wang, what are your plans in the future, don't you just plan to spend your whole life in the Golden Core Stage?" ?”

"Huh?" Yu Wang was obviously taken aback.Just now we were talking about Shen Chenzhou's lack of spiritual stones, why did he suddenly bring up his own cultivation?

"If you still want to improve your cultivation and become a baby and become a god, then it is absolutely impossible to spend endless time, energy and spirit stones in this furnace like now." Qing Shi continued.

"...My alchemy is in the ground fire room." Yu Wang muttered softly.

"Don't tell me you don't even know where the difference between the Foundation Establishment Stage and the Golden Core Stage is!" Qingshi rolled his eyes, "Even if you hold the title of Deacon of the Elder Hall, the support you get is barely enough for your daily needs. Du, you are not a person who only thinks about cultivation. It is absolutely impossible to imitate other people's hard work and advance. Of course, it is a daydream to expect your little fish tail to support you. Conscience."

"You, what exactly are you trying to say?" Yu Wang's face was flushed red by Qingshi.

"Partnership, earning Lingshi." Qingshi finally got to the point, "I want your shop in Wanwutang."

Yu Wang was stunned for a moment, then quickly lowered his head expressionlessly, "...take it if you want, anyway, the shop has already been mortgaged to you, and I definitely can't afford to pay back the spirit stone now."

Yu Wang's joy surprised both Qingshi and Shen Chenzhou. They looked at each other, then turned their heads to look at Yu Wang, and said in unison, "You and Xiao Yuwei..."

"Cough—" Shen Chenzhou hastily coughed lightly, indicating that Qingshi should speak first.

"You two broke up?" Qing Shi didn't even add any modifiers, and asked Yu Wang's face from red to white with one sentence.

"A year ago, did Yu Wei finally build the foundation? It seems that he even worshiped his master?" Shen Chenzhou asked.

"Yes." Yu Wang didn't look up, only the corners of his mouth curled up strangely.

"Who are you worshiping?" Qing Shi turned to look at Shen Shenzhou.

"Daoist Lu Siyuan, a disciple of Immortal Huai Chu." Shen Chenzhou replied.

"This kid is quite good at climbing!" Qing Shi was a little surprised.Although Xianjun Huaichu did not come from the lineage of Zhenjun Hengchu, he was the head of the sect after all. Connections are more important in Xiantrumen than the few direct disciples of True Monarch Hengchu.

"Lu Daojun has a granddaughter who is also practicing in Xianchumen now." Yu Wang said in a low voice, "Yu Wei and her..."

"Woman?" Qingshi couldn't help but widen his eyes.

Yu Wang curled up his mouth and lowered his head, "He likes women, if it wasn't for me..."

"If it wasn't for you, with his aptitude and origin, how could he have the opportunity to enter the Trumen of Immortals, let alone build a foundation!" Qing Shizhong interrupted, "If he really doesn't want to, he will follow you for so many years and spend your spirit stones What is your panacea? A wolf-hearted thing!"

"What did he tell you? Or didn't he say anything, but you guessed it yourself?" Shen Chenzhou interjected.

"He met me after he became a teacher, and said that our fate is over, and the accounts of the Playhouse should be clearly separated, and also, he wants to redeem the storefront of the Playhouse with me." Yu Wang's voice was a little trembling.

"It's a good thing you don't have the deed of the shop, otherwise you would definitely have given it to him." Qing Shi snorted coldly, then raised his eyebrows again, and said with a wicked smile, "Tell me, if Lu Daojun and his Miss Sun Knowing that Yu Wei has been slept by you for so many years, what do you think?"

Shen Chenzhou next to him immediately frowned, but Yu Wang raised his head suddenly, and said loudly, "I have never touched him! I like him, I like him, but I have never insulted him at all. !"

"It doesn't matter whether you touched him or not, as long as everyone thinks you have touched him." Qing Shi sneered.

"Not right." Before Yu Wang could speak this time, Shen Chenzhou had already spoken out to stop him, "It's not only Yu Wei who will be hurt if this matter gets out, but Yu Wang's reputation will also be damaged. After all, Yu Wang has a high level of cultivation and started early As long as Yu Wei insists that Yu Wang forced him, it will be difficult for Yu Wang to refute. What's more, Yu Wang is now working under Elder Han, and Elder Han has a reputation of being a man. What do you think everyone will think about the rumors?"

"How else can you think about it, but it's just Israel's servant! He has formed alchemy, and he is not a low-level disciple restricted by the sect's rules, so what are you afraid of!" Qing Shi curled his lips disapprovingly, but he didn't insist anymore, and turned his head Asked Yu Wang, "Actually, it doesn't matter what other people think, what matters is what you think! He has been deceiving you for so many years, defrauding you of countless spirit stones and a bunch of elixir, and in the end he left you with nothing, don't you think so?" Are you willing to just let him go?"

"Then what else can I do?" Yu Wang smiled slyly, but his eyes were full of sadness.

"Catch him, let's play enough money first." Qing Shi suggested maliciously.

"Yanqingshi, don't come up with bad ideas!" Shen Chenzhou had a headache and stopped him helplessly, "If you molest the disciples in the sect, if this matter comes out, it will not be finished with a few gossips, and you will be sent to the execution hall of!"

"Does he dare?" Qing Shi sneered, "I bet you, even if he is crippled, he won't dare to go out and say a word!"

——Of course, I won't give him a chance to make a statement!

Qing Shi thought so in his heart, but his eyes were still looking at Yu Wang.He also knew that with Yu Wang's character, he might not be able to be so heartless and righteous, and it was the limit to be ruthless to break up with that person.

Sure enough, Yu Wang shook his head, although he didn't speak, he expressed his disapproval.

"Well, you, the client, don't want to touch him, so why should I be a villain." Qing Shi curled her lips, and then said, "But I definitely won't leave the plaything hall to him."

"That's what I owe you, of course it's up to you." Yu Wang lowered his head again.

"You owe me a lot, don't think that you can pay it off with just one shop!" Qing Shi pretended to be vicious and said, "From now on, you will be my man, and all the spiritual artifacts you make and the spiritual stones you earn will belong to me. I own it! What Yu Wei’s fish tail, if you want to break it, just break it clean, don’t f**k one day he regrets it and cries to you, then he will soften his heart again!”

"Will he give me a chance to soften my heart?" Yu Wang asked back, twitching the corners of his mouth.

"How do you think he hooked up with Lu Daojun's Miss Sun? Just relying on a face?" Qing Shi raised an eyebrow and sneered, "When I get the playhouse back, see if he can find you!"
