At the end of the year, Zhong Wen was in a happy mood and walked quickly through the mountains and forests with extremely light steps.
If you look closely, you can see that his toes are like a dragonfly touching the water, his body seems to be floating in the air, his posture is elegant and agile, and he moves very fast.
"Immortal Step in the Cloud" is a very advanced movement technique, but it is only used by Yaowang Valley disciples to collect elixirs on cliffs and other places.
In Zhong Wen's opinion, this is simply a waste of natural resources.
With spiritual power, he is now using this movement technique, feeling the night wind blowing on his face, watching the trees on both sides flying behind him, feeling that he is really a young man like the wind.
If I go to deliver a courier, will other couriers still have a chance to survive?
He felt that he had discovered the true potential of "The Immortal Steps in the Clouds".
The moment he opened the ring in Yaowang Valley, he was shocked by the items in the storage space. The owner of Yaowang Valley didn't even bother to put spiritual crystals into the ring.
In a space of about ten cubic meters, in addition to the alchemy furnace and the golden needles used for acupuncture carried by the valley owner, there are various rare treasures, rare elixirs and elixir seeds scattered everywhere, and a pile of spiritual crystal cores are like music.
The color is usually abandoned in the corner, keeping company with the ordinary spiritual crystals that Zhong Wen stuffed into it.
Unlike the elixirs planted in the Medicine King Valley, the elixirs and seeds in the ring did not die with the passage of time, but were instead full of vitality.
This is also one of the characteristics of the storage ring. In the ring space, time stops flowing. Things will look the same when they are put in, and they will look the same when they come out. Of course, because of this, living things cannot be stored.
In addition to becoming incredibly wealthy, Zhong Wen also received an unexpected surprise.
Before leaving Yaowang Valley, the thirsty Zhong Wen planned to go to the lake to get some water to quench his thirst. As soon as he swallowed a mouthful of water, he choked and spit it out quickly.
So salty!
So salty and bitter!
Zhong Wen was angry at first, then surprised.
It's a saltwater lake!
Zhong Wen, who had been suffering from a miserable diet these past few days, took out the alchemy furnace of the Master of Yaowang Valley from his ring without saying a word, filled it with lake water, and took it away with him.
If the owner of Yaowang Valley knew that the top-level alchemy furnace he spent a lot of money to build was used by Zhong Wen to fill the lake water, the skeleton would probably crawl out of the bed in anger and take him away.
It was almost midnight when we returned to Piaohua Palace, and the sky began to turn pale.
After walking all the way on the Immortal Steps in the Cloud, Zhong Wen, who had just entered the human wheel realm, had very little spiritual power after all. Even though this movement method did not consume much, he was still exhausted and sweating profusely.
Gently opening the door, he was surprised to find that Liu Qiqi was already practicing swordplay in the yard.
Do you want to be so diligent?
The two looked at each other, and there was a hint of embarrassment in the air.
"Did you go out last night?" Liu Qiqi asked, with a hint of alertness in her tone.
"I woke up in the middle of the night and couldn't sleep, so I got up and went for a run to exercise." Zhong Wen said in a hurry.
"Your body is indeed too weak." Seeing Zhong Wen panting with sweat, Liu Qiqi accepted his words, "Hurry up and rush behind. You haven't practiced spiritual power. You're sweating."
It’s easy to catch a cold if you wipe it dry.”
Zhong Wen nodded: "Miss Liu, do you get up so early every day to practice swordplay?"
"Master woke up earlier than me." Liu Qiqi mentioned her master, a hint of admiration flashed in her eyes, "I don't know when I will reach the master's level."
"You can definitely do it if you work so hard." Zhong Wen encouraged with a smile, then ran back to the room, grabbed a washbasin, and went to the well in the backyard to get water.
Looking at Zhong Wen's leaving figure, Liu Qiqi felt that there seemed to be some changes in him, but she couldn't place it.
Shaking her head in confusion, she returned to her swordsmanship training.
Back in the room, Zhong Wen took off his shirt and wiped his body with a cloth squeezing the well water from the basin.
Even in summer, the mountain is not very hot, and the well water feels a little cold when rubbed on his body. Fortunately, Zhong Wen has already begun to practice the "One Qi Immortality Technique", so it can be tolerated.
After wiping my upper body and taking off my trousers, there was a knock on the door.
"Come in!" Zhong Wen responded and quickly pulled up his pants.
Mrs. Wang who pushed the door in and saw Zhong Wen's naked upper body blushed slightly, but did not avoid it. Instead, she looked up and down with interest.
"Sister-in-law Wang, what's the matter?" Zhong Wen asked, picking up his shirt to put on.
"I was just going to do the laundry, and wanted to ask Mr. Zhong if he has any clothes that need to be changed, so I can wash them with him." Mrs. Wang's accent was soft, with a gentle and graceful feeling, "Since Mr. Zhong is here
Scrub yourself and leave the clothes you changed to me."
"This...I only have this kind of clothes." Zhong Wen scratched his head in embarrassment.
"Pfft!" Mrs. Wang was stunned for a moment, and then she couldn't help laughing, "Yes, I'm sorry, I was negligent. Mr. Zhong, I will measure your figure. When you go down the mountain to buy groceries,
Let me bring you some suitable clothes."
Widow Wang was naturally pretty, and her smile was even more charming and charming, which made Zhong Wen's heart skip a beat.
"Sister-in-law Wang, you want to go down the mountain? Can I go with you?" Zhong Wen's mentality changed a lot overnight. He was no longer timid and became more curious about the world under the mountain.
"Qingfeng Mountain is about 800 meters high. Mr. Zhong has not recovered from his injury recently. Will it be too tiring to go down the mountain now?"
"No, I'm already well. Resting any longer will not be good. It's better to move my muscles and bones, which will help my recovery." Zhong Wen shook his head and said, "Also, Sister-in-law Wang, don't call me Mr. Zhong, Mr. Zhong."
Well, if you don’t mind, just call me Zhong Wen.”
"Okay, Zhong Wen, you can go down the mountain together later. I will take you for a walk in the village and buy a few sets of ready-made clothes." Mrs. Wang said cheerfully.
"Then, wait a moment, and I'll wipe down...your body." Zhong Wen held it in for a long time without saying the word "lower body."
"I'll go tidy up again, and we'll meet up in the yard in a moment." After all, Mrs. Wang was someone who had been there before. She quickly understood, closed the door with a smile, and left.
Seeing Mrs. Wang leave, Zhong Wen breathed a sigh of relief and quickly finished scrubbing. It turned out that the clothes on his body had not been dried yet, but he didn't care so much, so he quickly finished dressing and came to the courtyard.
Sister-in-law Wang had already been waiting at the entrance of the hospital. She changed into a light yellow cloth and tied a rose-red belt around her waist to highlight her graceful figure.
"What is this?" Zhong Wen asked curiously when he saw Mrs. Wang holding a large cloth bag in each hand.
"This is Lese, we have to go down the mountain to deal with it." Mrs. Wang's thin figure carried two large bags, but she didn't look strenuous.
"Let me get it for you." Zhong Wen volunteered.
"No, no, no, you are a guest, how can I let you have fun." Mrs. Wang shook her head repeatedly.
Zhong Wen couldn't help but snatch the bag from Mrs. Wang's hand: "How can I let a beautiful woman do manual labor when a grown man like me is here?"
"Zhong Wen, what are you talking about? With an old woman like me here, how can I ask you men to do such dirty work?" Sister-in-law Wang obviously did not understand Zhong Wen's logic. After all, this is a world where men are extremely superior to women.
"How old is Sister-in-law Wang? If I hadn't told you, I would have thought you were a rich young lady of twenty-eight years when I met you."
Mrs. Wang laughed so hard: "I thought you were an honest person, but unexpectedly you are also glib."
After teasing like this, the two of them got a lot closer, and they went down the mountain together while talking and laughing.
Zhong Wen was carrying two big cloth bags and felt the spiritual power in his body flowing continuously to his limbs and bones. He walked on the mountain road for a long time without feeling a trace of fatigue. He couldn't help but sigh that the "One Qi Immortality Jue" was indeed extraordinary.
.
And Sister-in-law Wang, who was walking in front of Zhong Wen, also walked lightly and was full of energy.
"Sister-in-law Wang, are you also a practitioner?" Zhong Wen couldn't help but ask.
"I'm a peasant woman, so I don't have such a blessing. I've just been helping out in the Piaohua Palace. The palace owner couldn't bear to see me working hard, so he taught me some qi-training techniques. I persisted every day, and my body and bones became a lot stronger. Climbing in the mountains
He who climbs up or down will not grow weary.”
"It seems that the master of Piaohua Palace is a good person." Zhong Wen praised.
"Palace Master Lin is a living Bodhisattva who came to the world, a fairy-like figure." Sister-in-law Wang's face showed a look of reverence.
The two of them walked quickly and arrived at the foot of the mountain in a short time. Zhong Wen could see the green farmland in the distance.
"That's Qingfeng Village over there." Sister-in-law Wang introduced, "Qingfeng Mountain covers a hundred miles of Piaohua Palace. The land in the village is fertile and has abundant spiritual energy. In addition to growing food and vegetables, the farmers will also plant some according to the instructions of Palace Master Lin.
The elixir was purchased by Piaohua Palace and brought to Cangyun City for sale."
As he approached the village, Zhong Wen indeed discovered a patchwork of medicinal fields among the large farmland. The elixirs planted in them were strong in appearance and full in color. Although their appearance was not as good as the top medicinal herbs in the storage ring, they were still very attractive.
Extraordinary.
About a moment later, the two of them appeared in a lively area of the village.
"We're here, Aunt Liu's house is just ahead." Sister-in-law Wang pointed to a bungalow and said, "Auntie usually makes a living by making clothes for men, women and children in the village. I think there will be some ready-made men's clothes at home."
"Sister-in-law Wang, you also know that my memory has not recovered yet, and I can't remember most things. How many spiritual crystals are needed for a set of clothes for an adult man?" Zhong Wen humbly asked for advice. He knew nothing about prices.
"Spirit crystal?" Sister-in-law Wang showed her retarded look again, she was angry and funny, "My eldest young master Zhong Wen, there is no need to exchange the coarse cloth clothes in the village with spirit crystal. A set of clothes only costs one silver dollar.
enough."
"Really, spiritual crystals are so valuable?" Zhong Wen glanced at the mountains of spiritual crystals in the ring.
"You really don't remember anything." Sister-in-law Wang explained patiently, "Spirit crystals are usually used in transactions between practitioners. You can't exchange a hundred silver dollars for one spiritual crystal."
"So expensive? I saw that the lighting in the house was also made of spiritual crystals, and I thought..."
"If you put a piece of spiritual crystal in the spiritual crystal lamp in the house, it can illuminate it for a year."
"This is embarrassing." Zhong Wen frowned, "I only have spiritual crystals on me and no silver coins. What should I do?"
Sister-in-law Wang: "..."
She didn't want to talk to Zhong Wen anymore.
Zhong Wen suddenly put down the bag, reached into his pocket and took out a spiritual crystal. Of course, this was just a fake move to cover up the storage ring.
"Sister-in-law Wang, I am unfamiliar with this place, can I exchange this spiritual crystal with you for some silver coins?"
"But...I can't afford so many silver dollars."
"It doesn't need that much, just a few sets of clothes will be enough." Zhong Wen said sincerely, "Anyway, the spiritual crystals on my body won't be of much use."
"This, how can this be allowed? It's taking too much advantage of you." Although Mrs. Wang was a little greedy, she still waved her hands.
Without saying a word, Zhong Wen grabbed Sister-in-law Wang's hand and stuffed the spiritual crystal into her palm: "That's it, I have to ask Sister-in-law Wang to help me pick out two suitable clothes."
Sister-in-law Wang's palms looked white, but when touched, they were calloused like ordinary peasant women.
"Then... okay, I'll keep it for you first." This beautiful woman finally couldn't resist the temptation of the spiritual crystal.
After accepting Zhong Wen's favor, Mrs. Wang's attitude became much warmer, and she thoughtfully selected a few sets of clothes for him. At Zhong Wen's request, she accompanied him to purchase earthen pots, flints and other items.
After gathering all the equipment for making coarse salt, Zhong Wen followed Mrs. Wang to the vegetable farmer to buy ingredients. Just as Mrs. Wang was selecting and bargaining over the items on the vegetable farmer's stall, Zhong Wen suddenly caught a glimpse of her.
The old hens raised in the yard behind the vegetable farmer.
Several old hens were fed to be extremely fat, and each of them was pacing back and forth in the yard full of energy.
"Uncle, do you want to sell this old hen?" Zhong Wen almost drooled when he saw the hen after eating vegetarian food without salt for two days.
"As long as the price is good, what can't be sold?" The vegetable farmer uncle was very cheerful, "Brother, you are not a local, are you? Seeing as you came here with the Wang family girl, I won't kill you, five silver dollars each, the real price.
Take it if you want it.”
"Zhong Wen, this chicken is not cheap." Sister-in-law Wang thought Zhong Wen wanted her to buy the chicken, and she looked reluctant to give it up.
"Sister Wang, I can't stand what you're saying. Little brother, go and ask around. Who doesn't know that I, Old Li, am the most honest person in business? You will never find cheaper and better chicken than what I have here.
"The vegetable farmer uncle said anxiously.
"Uncle, he seems to be a down-to-earth person at first glance. I think these hens are quite fat. If I buy a few more, can it be cheaper?" Zhong Wen comforted him with a smile.
"Brother, I like to hear what you are saying. Let's do this. If you buy five of them, I will only charge you twenty silver dollars."
"Okay, uncle, I'll reserve twenty-five with you first." Zhong Wen took out another spiritual crystal with a smile, "But I don't have any silver coins, can I use this to change my career?"
"This...is this a spiritual crystal?" Vegetable farmer Lao Li's eyes widened and he swallowed a gulp of saliva.
"Zhong Wen, you..." Zhong Wen's prodigal attitude frightened Sister-in-law Wang.
"It's okay. Anyway, I have so much spiritual crystal that I have nowhere to spend it, so why not use it to improve everyone's food." Zhong Wen casually threw the spiritual crystal to the vegetable farmer Lao Li, "Uncle, I will come to get one every day from now on. If
If I don't come, just leave it to Mrs. Wang."
"Okay!" Lao Li quickly stuffed the spirit crystal into his arms. Fearing that Zhong Wen would regret it, he hurried into the yard and caught an old hen and handed it to Zhong Wen.
Sister-in-law Wang looked on, dumbfounded, and when she was about to scold her, she thought that Zhong Wenhua had her own spiritual crystal, and it was not her turn to make irresponsible remarks, so she could only sigh sadly.
"A chicken in the left hand, a duck in the right hand!" On the way back to the mountain, Zhong Wen very gentlemanly grabbed the bag from Mrs. Wang's hand, chicken in the left hand, vegetables in the right hand, humming a little tune, extremely satisfied.
Mrs. Wang followed behind, staring at Zhong Wen's back, wondering what she was thinking...

Jin Yuanwai lowered his head and stood tremblingly at the bottom of the hall. From time to time, he secretly glanced at Tantai Jin sitting on the Grand Master's chair from the corner of his eye.
Tantai Jin's eyes suddenly glanced over, and member Jin felt his whole body trembling, and cold sweat broke out on his back.
The eldest son of Tantai held a high position in his early thirties, and the power he exuded unintentionally put great pressure on Yuan Jin.
"Has everything been done?" Tantai Jin's voice was cold and without any emotion.
"Eldest, please rest assured, eldest son, as long as there is no accident in Cangyun City, the money will not come out of Piaohua Palace no matter what. When the time comes, Lin Zhiyun will definitely give up this piece of Qingfeng Mountain." Jin Yuanwai.
A flattering smile appeared on his fat face.
"Our Tantai family will handle Cangyun City, there will be no problem." A sneer appeared on Tantai Jin's face, "Such a spiritual paradise cannot be occupied by just a few girls. It's time for Qingfeng Mountain
It’s time to change the owner.”
"Master, do you think the young ones will go to Piaohua Palace to put some pressure on those girls in the past two days?"
"No need, the time limit is not up yet, and it won't be of much use if I go there. Since it can be solved by legal means, I don't mind waiting a few more days." Tantai Jin's tone was full of confidence that everything was under control, "I'll give it to you in five days.
I will send someone to accompany you up the mountain, if the people in Piaohua Palace leave obediently, otherwise I don’t mind using force."
"Master, if those ladies don't cooperate, can your people capture them and hand them over to the villain?" Thinking of the beautiful appearance of the master of Piaohua Palace, Jin Yuanwai's eyes were full of lust, and the corners of his mouth were flowing out.
A trace of liquid.
"It's up to you." Tantai Jin felt disgusted in his heart when he looked at Yuan Jin's ugly face like a fat pig.
When the matter is done, this fat pig will have no use value...

***************
"Palace Master Lin, the Lord City Master is in ill health and is unable to see guests. Please come back."
Looking at the cold face of the concierge, Lin Zhiyun felt irritated.
"This little brother, I really have something important to discuss. Could you please go in and let me know? I'll be rewarded generously if things go well." She swallowed her anger and made excuses with the young man.
"I'm sorry, it's not easy for me to disobey the Lord of the City's order. Palace Master Lin should wait for ten days and a half until the Lord recovers." The boy's tone was cold and firm.
As the saying goes, the king of hell is easy to meet, but the devil is difficult to deal with.
If he were a good dancer, he would definitely give the boy some benefits before asking him for help. However, Lin Zhiyun was not good at interpersonal communication and did not even understand these simple principles.
"The matter is urgent. I really can't wait ten days and a half." Lin Zhiyun's tone gradually became irritable.
"Palace Master Lin, you are a high-ranking cultivator. If you want to make friends with others, why don't you go elsewhere and ask why you are embarrassing me, a young servant here." There was a trace of ridicule in the concierge's tone.
"You..." Lin Zhiyun was about to get angry, but in the end she endured it and said, "Goodbye!"
"What about cultivators? If the Tantai family wants to deal with you, even the city lord can't protect you. Let's see how long you can keep running." Looking at Lin Zhiyun's leaving figure, the servant sneered and murmured to himself, "But
Palace Master Lin is a very good-looking person. If he is willing to put down his stature and be a wife to the Lord of the City, he may not be able to solve the current difficulty. It is a pity..."
