The disappearance of Lingxue Immortal Venerable caused a lot of uproar in the cultivation world. In the bustling places like Qingzhou, the capital city, there are also different opinions on the streets and alleys.
On the other hand, Xujia Town in the outer suburbs of the capital is peaceful and peaceful. The poor and ordinary people only care about what they will eat for their next meal. They don't know or care about these fairy family affairs.
Xu Qingluo struggled to carry a big basket, and walked slowly to the depths of the alley. There was a small yard at the end of the alley, and a large locust tree was planted at the entrance of the yard.
Xu Qingluo stopped under the big locust tree. She patted on the brand-new calico clothes, and carefully straightened her slightly messy hair. Thinking that she would see her husband soon, a young girl couldn't help but feel a little excited , and a little apprehensive.
Thinking of that gentleman, her delicate face flushed a little.
The husband's surname is Zhou. He just moved to the town a few days ago. He looks more beautiful than she has ever seen before. He is like a fairy in the sky. Fengshen handsome.
The husband is so good-looking, he can make soup and medicine, and he is cured of illnesses, but he has no wife. There is only a distant cousin named Bai in the family.
Thinking of that Mr. Bai, Xu Qingluo couldn't help pursing her lips. That cousin was also very good-looking, not only tall, but also had a prettier face than the Tofu Shih Tzu next door, but he always gave himself an uncomfortable feeling. a feeling of.
It's like... It's like the poisonous snake I met on the mountain road last time when I went to the mountain to collect herbs, hissing and spitting at myself. Although it was colorful and beautiful, it was very scary.
Every time I wanted to say a few more words to my husband, that Mr. Bai would smile at me and glance at me, and I couldn't help shivering from that look, so I had no choice but to leave quickly.
This time I went to find my husband by myself, wouldn't he be angry again?
Xu Qingluo carried the big heavy basket in her hand, thinking about the two things inside, she felt a little more at ease, since she was going to deliver something to her husband, Mr. Bai probably had nothing to say.
The husband cured my grandma of tuberculosis, and my grandma made some sausages and asked me to bring them to my husband. Besides the sausages, there was also a large package of herbs in the basket, which my husband personally asked me to pick up from the peddler when I went to the market. .
Xu Qingluo pursed her lips, and glanced at the smoke above the yard. The husband should be at home, and she didn't know whether he was making medicine or soup. She thought that she would see him soon, but felt as if there was a little bird in her heart. flying.
Zhou Yue stood in the kitchen, casually stirring the fish soup in the pot, while looking at the small yard outside the window.
After that thunderstorm night, he and Bai Chenyu left Lingxiao City overnight and came to this small town in the outskirts of the capital. They spent another 12 taels of silver to buy this two-entry house and lived with Bai Chenyu.
After all, it's been almost two months.
At this moment, in the small yard outside the kitchen, Bai Chenyu was wearing a blue-gray coarse cloth, and was bending over slightly, seriously drying the medicinal herbs.
Although Bai Chenyu has completely restrained the aura and coercion on his body, he still can't hide the indescribable brilliance of the Nine-Turn Golden Elixir. He looks better than before, and even faintly has the domineering look of a superior. temperament.
It's just that the Nine-Turn Golden Pill that brought all of this belongs to Gu Xuecheng.
Zhou Yue clenched the wooden spoon in her hand, feeling a dull pain in her heart.
After Bai Chenyu finished drying the herbs, he picked up the big broom and cleaned the yard seriously. Then, with a dustpan, he poured some corn kernels to the chickens in the cage.
As a top cultivator of the Nine-Turn Golden Elixir, he was clearly able to start a sect, but he did these rough jobs in a small mortal yard, and he seemed willing, without any reluctance.
After finishing all this, Bai Chenyu walked into the kitchen with ease, and said with a smile, "Brother, what are you eating today?"
Zhou Yue lowered her eyes and said lightly, "Fish soup."
Bai Chenyu came behind him, put his chin on his shoulder, and said coquettishly, "Brother, I want to eat brown sugar glutinous rice cakes. Can you make them for me?"
Zhou Yue felt tightness in her chest, and clenched her hands involuntarily, her nails digging deep into her palms.
Seeing Zhou Yue's refusal to say anything, Bai Chenyu narrowed his eyes, obediently stopped forcing, took a small bench by himself, sat beside him and peeled the beans, humming a song in a low voice: "San Yue Chun Hey, the peach blossoms are blooming..."
Ever since he defeated Gu Xuecheng, Bai Chenyu has been in a good mood every day, even if Zhou Yue rejects him occasionally, he will not be annoyed at all. He seems to be sure that he will be able to win Zhou Yue sooner or later.
Zhou Yue didn't want to face him, turned around and started cutting vegetables. He was cutting the pile of shepherd's purse on the chopping board blankly, but his mind was always thinking of the five words "brown sugar glutinous rice cake" that Bai Chenyu said just now, and he was in a trance. The index finger hurt slightly.
He looked down, and there was a faint bloodstain oozing from his fingertips. He is Danxiu, he doesn't pay attention to body cultivation, so he will be injured naturally.
Bai Chenyu dropped the beans in his hand, and rushed over nervously: "What's wrong? Did you cut it?"
Zhou Yue shook her head: "It's just a little flesh injury."
Bai Chenyu looked at his bleeding fingers and complained distressedly: "Why is brother so careless?"
He held Zhou Yue's hand and lowered his head to lick the bloodstain.
The moment her fingertips touched those petal-like delicate lips, Zhou Yue shivered violently and twitched back hard!But it was different from the past, at this moment, Bai Chenyu's five slender fingers seemed to be made of iron, and although Zhou Yue was a cultivator of the seven-turn golden elixir, he couldn't move them at all.
Zhou Yue took a deep breath, raised her head and looked directly at Bai Chenyu, at some point, Bai Chenyu was already a little taller than him, although she was still so pretty, but when she looked down at him, the sense of oppression was gone. Very strong.
Zhou Yue whispered: "Xiao Yu, don't go too far."
Bai Chenyu narrowed his eyes, his eyes were a little gloomy, and five fingers tightly grasped Zhou Yue's wrist. Although he didn't move further, he didn't let go of Zhou Yue, and the kitchen was silent for a while.
Just when the two were in a stalemate, there was only a soft "squeak—" and the kitchen door opened, followed by a girl's relieved voice: "Sir, your courtyard door opened a crack. It's a thief, but it's okay."
It turned out to be a little girl from the Xu family at the entrance of the alley.
Zhou Yue pulled hard, Bai Chenyu let go of his hand reluctantly, Zhou Yue quickly withdrew his hand without a trace, and heaved a sigh of relief.
Xu Qingluo didn't notice anything unusual, she carefully took out the contents of the basket: "Sir, the bowl of medicinal soup you cooked last time is very effective, my grandma doesn't cough much now, this is the sausage she made, let I'll bring you a taste."
She put the plate of sausage on the desk, and carefully took out a large pack of medicinal materials: "By the way, these are the medicinal materials you want, sir."
Zhou Yue said sincerely, "Thank you so much."
Xu Qingluo's delicate face flushed slightly: "Mister has helped my family so much, this is what I should do."
Bai Chenyu stood beside her, folded her arms and stared at Xu Qingluo coldly. There was no expression on her beautiful face. Xu Qingluo swallowed, obviously a little scared.
"Xiao Yu, the shoes you are wearing now were given to you by Grandma Xu, why don't you hurry up and thank Miss Xu." Zhou Yue scolded softly.
Bai Chenyu pursed her lips, and she really showed a cute smile: "What brother said is, please ask Miss Xu to thank grandma for me."
"It's nothing, it's just a pair of shoes." Xu Qingluo waved her hands a little helplessly, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Although this young master Bai is very scary, he is still willing to listen to Mr.
She hesitated for a while, and then said a little embarrassedly: "Sir, although my grandma has recovered a lot, my younger brother caught a cold last night and has a fever this morning. Can you go over and have a look and prescribe two decoctions for him?"
"Just a fever?"
"And some vomiting and diarrhea."
"Maybe it's a cold in the stomach, it's not a serious problem." Zhou Yue pondered, "Well, I'll let Xiaoyu go with you. I've taught him a lot of medicine, and he can handle these minor illnesses."
Xu Qingluo whispered: "Oh."
Bai Chenyu was obviously reluctant, but he still said obediently: "Well, I will listen to my brother."
Bai Chenyu packed up some herbs, and followed Xu Qingluo to leave the yard. Zhou Yue looked at the backs of the two leaving, and breathed a sigh of relief.
Since coming to Xujia Town, Bai Chenyu has always been very well-behaved, and her blackening value is also very stable, but recently she has gradually become dishonest, and things like licking her fingers just now happen occasionally.
Zhou Yue knew in her heart what Bai Chenyu really wanted. Now it was different from before. Bai Chenyu was no longer that fragile young man. If he wanted to use force on him, he couldn't stop him at all.
However, due to his tough attitude, Bai Chenyu seems to have no intention of coercion for the time being, and has been trying to soften himself, but no one can guarantee how long Bai Chenyu's patience can last.
During these days, Zhou Yue has carefully analyzed that although Bai Chenyu and Gu Xuecheng have experienced ups and downs, they are not the same, so they cannot be treated in the same way.
Gu Xuecheng knew that he had outstanding aptitude since he was a child. Although he was tortured because of his father's malice since he was a child, he didn't suffer too much humiliation. He was still very proud in his bones, and his three views were not too crooked.
But Bai Chenyu lived in an extremely harsh environment since he was a child. He was sent to the door of the Bai family by a prostitute. The servants regard him as a thing to relieve their anger.
Later, he was accidentally discovered by the Xianmen to have a spiritual root. After finally having a glimmer of hope, he was framed as seducing his aunt, poisoning his aunt, and after countless tortures and beatings, he was sold to human traffickers.
When I arrived at the Jinrui Tower, I suffered all kinds of humiliation. Although I was too young to receive guests, all kinds of training and abuse were unavoidable. I usually had to serve tea and water, serve the guests with a low eyebrow and pleasing to the eye, and occasionally being molested and molested inevitable.
Growing up in such a bad environment, Bai Chenyu's heart was already riddled with holes, so after he appeared, he regarded himself as a life-saving straw, clung to it tightly and refused to let go, and became his own. everything.
Zhou Yue rubbed the center of his brows in pain. In layman's terms, Bai Chenyu is just a diode. He regards himself as everything and everyone else as ants.
But at this time, I adopted the same strategy as I used to treat Gu Xuecheng, protecting him, taking care of him, and pity him. As a result, he sank even further, holding on to his life-saving straw, so when he found himself and After what happened to Gu Xuecheng, there will be such a big reaction.
From the very beginning, his strategy was wrong, blindly pampering and pity Bai Chenyu, which deepened his dependence on him, but he couldn't give him what he wanted, and finally turned black directly.
Now, I bring Bai Chenyu to this small town, just to let him live a normal life, let him meet some ordinary people like Xu Qingluo and Xu's grandma, see the suffering of the people, and gradually improve his personality, and realize Come up with some life principles.
After the blackening value has stabilized, you can take Bai Chenyu to Jinrui Tower and Bai's house to seek justice for him and completely resolve his knots.
Zhou Yue closed her eyes and summoned the system: "System, what is the blackening value now?"
[The current blackening value is 73%, which is in a stable state, and it has dropped by 1 point from last month. Host, come on! 】The practice system cheered weakly.
"What about points?" Zhou Yue thought for a while and asked again.
[Current points: 24547 points. 】
"So many? Wasn't it just over 1 last time?" Zhou Yue was a little surprised.
[Because when the blackening value reached the critical point, the host did not give up this world and directly entered the next small world. Instead, he turned the tide and lowered the blackening value back to the safe zone. After 001 reported to the main god system, the main god system decided to reward the host with 10000 points. 】
"I see." Zhou Yue nodded, feeling a little better in a dull mood.
Sure enough, 001 didn't want the mission to fail. The last time he saw that there was almost no possibility of completing the mission, he suggested that he enter the next small world, but he tried his best to restore the blackening value at a critical moment, so he was naturally very happy.
Just like when there was an accident while flying a fighter jet, the ground command system agreed to the pilot abandoning the plane and parachuting, but the pilot still gritted his teeth and landed the fighter plane safely, so he would naturally be rewarded.
Although the price is too heavy.
Seemingly feeling Zhou Yue's depressed mood, the internship system comforted: [After the host completes the task, if the points are not used up, in addition to exchanging for the health value and safety value of relatives, you can also exchange 1 point for 1000 currency, Convert it to real world currency. 】
Multiplying 2000 points by [-], it is more than [-] million. In this way, after I go back, I can be regarded as financially free, with no worries about food and clothing, and I no longer need to look at the face of the leader.
Zhou Yue loved money very much in her previous life, but now she couldn't raise her spirits, she just twitched the corners of her lips and said flatly, "Thank you."
He exited the system, lost his mind for a while, and took out three round pills from the mustard bag.
Those three elixirs are bright in color, pure and white, like jade and snow, they are the legendary holy medicine that can assist in the formation of elixirs - Ningxue pills.
When leaving Lingxiao City, Zhou Yue took away all the herbs that could be taken away from the Yunxue Building. After careful research during these days, he added a few more herbs to the Ningxue Pill based on Gu Xuecheng's physique. Three top-quality Ningxue pills that can assist the Phoenix's Nirvana were refined.
Of course, in order to hide the truth from Bai Chenyu, he also refined some other elixirs, which looked similar anyway, and Bai Chenyu was not proficient in this way, so naturally he couldn't tell.
With Ningxue Pill, the hope of Phoenix Nirvana increased a bit.
According to the ancient books, if Gu Xuecheng wanted to achieve the Nirvana of the Phoenix and form the Perfect Golden Elixir, he had to go through three heart-breaking mental trials. The process was either crazy or cold and stiff, and he couldn't take the medicine himself, so every time he tried the mental state, he You have to take a Ningxue Pill yourself, and then use it as a furnace, and pass the medicinal properties to Gu Xuecheng in that way.
At the same time, I have to endure Gu Xuecheng's attack and abuse, use spiritual energy to dissolve his anger and resentment, and let him go through the trial safely.
It's just that Gu Xuecheng won't remember all of this. After the mental test, he will only feel that he had a hazy dream, and he doesn't need him to remember it, because he owes it to him.
Besides, if I can't complete the task, the five-year task period ends, and everything is over; to the real world.
In any case, it's better for Gu Xuecheng not to remember.
Zhou Yue carefully put the three Ningxue pills into the mustard seed bag, and then took out the large package of medicinal materials that Xu Qingluo sent.
He gently opened the bag, and there were a lot of medicinal materials inside, including mortal medicinal materials such as Daqingye, turmeric, and salvia, as well as cheap elixirs such as Hopeful Orchid and Bat Sand, and the ones at the bottom were It is a small piece of dead leaf, shaped a bit like a butterfly.
Zhou Yue breathed a sigh of relief, that's it, and the other medicinal materials are just a cover.
He gently picked up the dead leaf and blew out a mouthful of spiritual energy, and the dead leaf immediately turned into a beautiful golden butterfly, which rested tremblingly on his fingertips.
Thousand Miles Fantasy Dream Butterfly.
This is a spirit butterfly that he spent a whole [-] points in exchange for a bunch of high-grade spirit stones, which he bought at a high price, and can be tracked thousands of miles away with illusions.
Originally, Zhou Yue didn't need to spend this wronged money, because Gu Xuecheng had put the jade pendants of the two together many times. He could use the person-finding spell to find Gu Xuecheng himself through the connection between the two jade pendants, and then protect him. The sword passed.
But he failed because Gu Xuecheng never wore that jade pendant again.
Thinking of this, Zhou Yue couldn't help but feel a slight pain in her chest, but she also knew that she had no right to be hypocritical. Could it be that she still expected that Gu Xuecheng would continue to wear that humiliating "fake jade pendant"?
Zhou Yue shook her head, threw away those hypocritical thoughts, held up the spirit butterfly with her fingertips, and tried to find Gu Xuecheng.
However, thinking about those rumors, he was a little afraid to drive the spirit butterfly.
Some people said that Gu Xuecheng lost his cultivation and left Lingxiao City alone, and has never been seen since.
Some people said that a monk had seen Gu Xuecheng outside Lingxiao City, he was covered in dirt, like a beggar.
Some people also said that Gu Xuecheng was actually the alchemy digger. Guanhui and Song Lingzi were murdered by him. Kuqing just bore the charges for him. Fortunately, the skynet was not missing. Gu Xuecheng was using "Five Elements for Alchemy" At that time, something went wrong and went crazy.
There are also people who don't believe it, saying that Ling Xuexian has a noble character. In order to repair the seal of the demon world, after entering the Valley of Asking Swords, he never came back.
Others say...
Zhou Yue closed her eyes, commanded herself not to think about it, and then breathed lightly on the spirit butterfly on her fingertips: "Zhuang Zhou Mengdie, Xuxuran, go!"
The spirit butterfly rises up lightly. It shakes its wings lightly and sprinkles golden dust all over the sky. This piece of golden dust like clouds and mist gradually transforms into a mortal scene. There are busy traffic, restaurants and teahouses inside.
With a beating heart, Zhou Yue pulled out her spirit body and walked in.
In front of me was a dirty alley, which seemed to be the back alley of some restaurant, the ground was full of dirt and mud, and there were more than a dozen beggars huddled close to each other by the wall, some were catching lice, some were dozing off, some were Look around.
There are also a few servants who are pushing a cart, transporting huge swill buckets back and forth.
Zhou Yue looked around in a daze. The cart and the servant passed through his translucent spirit body, but he didn't feel anything, and didn't notice it at all.
Is Gu Xuecheng in this kind of place?
Gu Xuecheng has always loved cleanliness, and he especially likes to wear white. Even the Yunxue Tower he built for himself is made of large pieces of white jade. How could he stay in such a dirty alley?
By the way, he lost his golden elixir and became a mortal. He would also be hungry, thirsty, and cold. Could it be... Could it be that he works in this restaurant to make ends meet?
Zhou Yue took a deep breath, and carefully looked at the boys pushing carts back and forth, but there was no one like Gu Xuecheng.
At this moment, a young man in front of him said angrily: "If you're going to die, go dig a hole on the mass grave slope, don't block your way here!"
While cursing, he kicked a beggar severely, and then pushed the cart away cursing.
Zhou Yue looked up subconsciously, and with just one glance, he felt that the blood in his whole body was about to freeze.
At the end of the alley, the filthy figure curled up tightly in the corner, although he didn't look like Immortal Lingxue anymore, he recognized it at a glance, it was his small town.
Zhou Yue stared at the filthy figure, panting involuntarily. Although the spirit body didn't need air at all, his chest was so stuffy that his eyes almost turned black.
"Xiaocheng!" He stumbled and ran over.
The man curled up in the corner, hugging his knees tightly, as if in some kind of self-protection posture, the dirty and knotted long hair covered most of the once snow-white and handsome face, revealing only a thin chin, and a pair of The gray eyes were none other than Gu Xuecheng.
Zhou Yue stared blankly at the other party, only to feel a lump in her throat, and her whole body trembled involuntarily.
This is Gu Xuecheng, this is City Lord Ling Xiao, this is Ling Xue Xianzun who drove away the thunderstorm with a sword from afar, just to protect the mountain pear blossoms...
His lips trembled violently, and he slowly raised his hand, wanting to gently touch the dirty snow-white face, but his translucent fingers passed through the other's face time and time again, unable to touch it at all. other side.
At this time, the two beggars next to him muttered: "The boy in the corner is new? Does he know that this place belongs to us?"
Another beggar said nonchalantly: "It's nothing, I guess I'm an idiot. Yesterday Zhang Dashan from the restaurant rewarded us with a lot of white flour buns. This idiot didn't know how to snatch it, and he didn't know how to kowtow to thank him. He was kicked several times by Qiu Erge , I don’t know how to dodge, I’m just a fool.”
"Oh, fool, it's all right, I won't compete with us for food."
Listening to the chatter of the two beggars, Zhou Yue felt his eyes darken. He put his arms around Gu Xuecheng at a loss, and said in a trembling voice: "Xiaocheng, don't be afraid, brother is here...Whatever Xiaocheng wants to eat, brother will cook for you... ...Brother is wrong, brother is wrong..."
Gu Xuecheng's dirty face was numb, Zhou Yue is only a spirit body now, he has lost the Nine-Turn Golden Elixir, and has completely become a mortal body, naturally he can't hear anything.
On the other hand, Xujia Town in the outer suburbs of the capital is peaceful and peaceful. The poor and ordinary people only care about what they will eat for their next meal. They don't know or care about these fairy family affairs.
Xu Qingluo struggled to carry a big basket, and walked slowly to the depths of the alley. There was a small yard at the end of the alley, and a large locust tree was planted at the entrance of the yard.

Growing up in such a bad environment, Bai Chenyu's heart was already riddled with holes, so after he appeared, he regarded himself as a life-saving straw, clung to it tightly and refused to let go, and became his own. everything.
Zhou Yue rubbed the center of his brows in pain. In layman's terms, Bai Chenyu is just a diode. He regards himself as everything and everyone else as ants.
But at this time, I adopted the same strategy as I used to treat Gu Xuecheng, protecting him, taking care of him, and pity him. As a result, he sank even further, holding on to his life-saving straw, so when he found himself and After what happened to Gu Xuecheng, there will be such a big reaction.
From the very beginning, his strategy was wrong, blindly pampering and pity Bai Chenyu, which deepened his dependence on him, but he couldn't give him what he wanted, and finally turned black directly.
Now, I bring Bai Chenyu to this small town, just to let him live a normal life, let him meet some ordinary people like Xu Qingluo and Xu's grandma, see the suffering of the people, and gradually improve his personality, and realize Come up with some life principles.
After the blackening value has stabilized, you can take Bai Chenyu to Jinrui Tower and Bai's house to seek justice for him and completely resolve his knots.
Zhou Yue closed her eyes and summoned the system: "System, what is the blackening value now?"
[The current blackening value is 73%, which is in a stable state, and it has dropped by 1 point from last month. Host, come on! 】The practice system cheered weakly.
"What about points?" Zhou Yue thought for a while and asked again.
[Current points: 24547 points. 】
"So many? Wasn't it just over 1 last time?" Zhou Yue was a little surprised.
[Because when the blackening value reached the critical point, the host did not give up this world and directly entered the next small world. Instead, he turned the tide and lowered the blackening value back to the safe zone. After 001 reported to the main god system, the main god system decided to reward the host with 10000 points. 】
"I see." Zhou Yue nodded, feeling a little better in a dull mood.
Sure enough, 001 didn't want the mission to fail. The last time he saw that there was almost no possibility of completing the mission, he suggested that he enter the next small world, but he tried his best to restore the blackening value at a critical moment, so he was naturally very happy.
Just like when there was an accident while flying a fighter jet, the ground command system agreed to the pilot abandoning the plane and parachuting, but the pilot still gritted his teeth and landed the fighter plane safely, so he would naturally be rewarded.
Although the price is too heavy.
Seemingly feeling Zhou Yue's depressed mood, the internship system comforted: [After the host completes the task, if the points are not used up, in addition to exchanging for the health value and safety value of relatives, you can also exchange 1 point for 1000 currency, Convert it to real world currency. 】
Multiplying 2000 points by [-], it is more than [-] million. In this way, after I go back, I can be regarded as financially free, with no worries about food and clothing, and I no longer need to look at the face of the leader.
Zhou Yue loved money very much in her previous life, but now she couldn't raise her spirits, she just twitched the corners of her lips and said flatly, "Thank you."
He exited the system, lost his mind for a while, and took out three round pills from the mustard bag.
Those three elixirs are bright in color, pure and white, like jade and snow, they are the legendary holy medicine that can assist in the formation of elixirs - Ningxue pills.
When leaving Lingxiao City, Zhou Yue took away all the herbs that could be taken away from the Yunxue Building. After careful research during these days, he added a few more herbs to the Ningxue Pill based on Gu Xuecheng's physique. Three top-quality Ningxue pills that can assist the Phoenix's Nirvana were refined.
Of course, in order to hide the truth from Bai Chenyu, he also refined some other elixirs, which looked similar anyway, and Bai Chenyu was not proficient in this way, so naturally he couldn't tell.
With Ningxue Pill, the hope of Phoenix Nirvana increased a bit.
According to the ancient books, if Gu Xuecheng wanted to achieve the Nirvana of the Phoenix and form the Perfect Golden Elixir, he had to go through three heart-breaking mental trials. The process was either crazy or cold and stiff, and he couldn't take the medicine himself, so every time he tried the mental state, he You have to take a Ningxue Pill yourself, and then use it as a furnace, and pass the medicinal properties to Gu Xuecheng in that way.
At the same time, I have to endure Gu Xuecheng's attack and abuse, use spiritual energy to dissolve his anger and resentment, and let him go through the trial safely.
It's just that Gu Xuecheng won't remember all of this. After the mental test, he will only feel that he had a hazy dream, and he doesn't need him to remember it, because he owes it to him.
Besides, if I can't complete the task, the five-year task period ends, and everything is over; to the real world.
In any case, it's better for Gu Xuecheng not to remember.
Zhou Yue carefully put the three Ningxue pills into the mustard seed bag, and then took out the large package of medicinal materials that Xu Qingluo sent.
He gently opened the bag, and there were a lot of medicinal materials inside, including mortal medicinal materials such as Daqingye, turmeric, and salvia, as well as cheap elixirs such as Hopeful Orchid and Bat Sand, and the ones at the bottom were It is a small piece of dead leaf, shaped a bit like a butterfly.
Zhou Yue breathed a sigh of relief, that's it, and the other medicinal materials are just a cover.
He gently picked up the dead leaf and blew out a mouthful of spiritual energy, and the dead leaf immediately turned into a beautiful golden butterfly, which rested tremblingly on his fingertips.
Thousand Miles Fantasy Dream Butterfly.
This is a spirit butterfly that he spent a whole [-] points in exchange for a bunch of high-grade spirit stones, which he bought at a high price, and can be tracked thousands of miles away with illusions.
Originally, Zhou Yue didn't need to spend this wronged money, because Gu Xuecheng had put the jade pendants of the two together many times. He could use the person-finding spell to find Gu Xuecheng himself through the connection between the two jade pendants, and then protect him. The sword passed.
But he failed because Gu Xuecheng never wore that jade pendant again.
Thinking of this, Zhou Yue couldn't help but feel a slight pain in her chest, but she also knew that she had no right to be hypocritical. Could it be that she still expected that Gu Xuecheng would continue to wear that humiliating "fake jade pendant"?
Zhou Yue shook her head, threw away those hypocritical thoughts, held up the spirit butterfly with her fingertips, and tried to find Gu Xuecheng.
However, thinking about those rumors, he was a little afraid to drive the spirit butterfly.
Some people said that Gu Xuecheng lost his cultivation and left Lingxiao City alone, and has never been seen since.
Some people said that a monk had seen Gu Xuecheng outside Lingxiao City, he was covered in dirt, like a beggar.
Some people also said that Gu Xuecheng was actually the alchemy digger. Guanhui and Song Lingzi were murdered by him. Kuqing just bore the charges for him. Fortunately, the skynet was not missing. Gu Xuecheng was using "Five Elements for Alchemy" At that time, something went wrong and went crazy.
There are also people who don't believe it, saying that Ling Xuexian has a noble character. In order to repair the seal of the demon world, after entering the Valley of Asking Swords, he never came back.
Others say...
Zhou Yue closed her eyes, commanded herself not to think about it, and then breathed lightly on the spirit butterfly on her fingertips: "Zhuang Zhou Mengdie, Xuxuran, go!"
The spirit butterfly rises up lightly. It shakes its wings lightly and sprinkles golden dust all over the sky. This piece of golden dust like clouds and mist gradually transforms into a mortal scene. There are busy traffic, restaurants and teahouses inside.
With a beating heart, Zhou Yue pulled out her spirit body and walked in.
In front of me was a dirty alley, which seemed to be the back alley of some restaurant, the ground was full of dirt and mud, and there were more than a dozen beggars huddled close to each other by the wall, some were catching lice, some were dozing off, some were Look around.
There are also a few servants who are pushing a cart, transporting huge swill buckets back and forth.
Zhou Yue looked around in a daze. The cart and the servant passed through his translucent spirit body, but he didn't feel anything, and didn't notice it at all.
Is Gu Xuecheng in this kind of place?
Gu Xuecheng has always loved cleanliness, and he especially likes to wear white. Even the Yunxue Tower he built for himself is made of large pieces of white jade. How could he stay in such a dirty alley?
By the way, he lost his golden elixir and became a mortal. He would also be hungry, thirsty, and cold. Could it be... Could it be that he works in this restaurant to make ends meet?
Zhou Yue took a deep breath, and carefully looked at the boys pushing carts back and forth, but there was no one like Gu Xuecheng.
At this moment, a young man in front of him said angrily: "If you're going to die, go dig a hole on the mass grave slope, don't block your way here!"
While cursing, he kicked a beggar severely, and then pushed the cart away cursing.
Zhou Yue looked up subconsciously, and with just one glance, he felt that the blood in his whole body was about to freeze.
At the end of the alley, the filthy figure curled up tightly in the corner, although he didn't look like Immortal Lingxue anymore, he recognized it at a glance, it was his small town.
Zhou Yue stared at the filthy figure, panting involuntarily. Although the spirit body didn't need air at all, his chest was so stuffy that his eyes almost turned black.
"Xiaocheng!" He stumbled and ran over.
The man curled up in the corner, hugging his knees tightly, as if in some kind of self-protection posture, the dirty and knotted long hair covered most of the once snow-white and handsome face, revealing only a thin chin, and a pair of The gray eyes were none other than Gu Xuecheng.
Zhou Yue stared blankly at the other party, only to feel a lump in her throat, and her whole body trembled involuntarily.
This is Gu Xuecheng, this is City Lord Ling Xiao, this is Ling Xue Xianzun who drove away the thunderstorm with a sword from afar, just to protect the mountain pear blossoms...
His lips trembled violently, and he slowly raised his hand, wanting to gently touch the dirty snow-white face, but his translucent fingers passed through the other's face time and time again, unable to touch it at all. other side.
At this time, the two beggars next to him muttered: "The boy in the corner is new? Does he know that this place belongs to us?"
Another beggar said nonchalantly: "It's nothing, I guess I'm an idiot. Yesterday Zhang Dashan from the restaurant rewarded us with a lot of white flour buns. This idiot didn't know how to snatch it, and he didn't know how to kowtow to thank him. He was kicked several times by Qiu Erge , I don’t know how to dodge, I’m just a fool.”
"Oh, fool, it's all right, I won't compete with us for food."
Listening to the chatter of the two beggars, Zhou Yue felt his eyes darken. He put his arms around Gu Xuecheng at a loss, and said in a trembling voice: "Xiaocheng, don't be afraid, brother is here...Whatever Xiaocheng wants to eat, brother will cook for you... ...Brother is wrong, brother is wrong..."
Gu Xuecheng's dirty face was numb, Zhou Yue is only a spirit body now, he has lost the Nine-Turn Golden Elixir, and has completely become a mortal body, naturally he can't hear anything.
