Hu Huahua whimpered against her belly: Mom, I’m hungry.
Hu Qing raised her head and glanced at the sun. The dazzling white light spots blurred her vision. She lowered her head and looked at the round capsule. Why didn't it open?
Unable to bear it any longer, Hu Qing touched it lightly with a jade shovel - many spiritual plants could not be touched directly by hand, and this shovel cost her five spiritual stones - Gululu.
Hu Qing's eyes widened - it dared to touch porcelain under the clear sky and white sun!
The round sac with yellow background and purple stripes stretched three feet away. Hu Qing stared at it intently. Other snow calyx orchids had short and flat roots, but this one - round!
It's more like an egg!
No matter what it is, it moves. With a shovel, the small thing rolls into the jade box and snaps the lid.
Put it in the storage bag.
Can't take it in.
Hu Qing knew that storage bags could only hold dead things, not living things. Plants were not considered living things.
Could it be that it is really an egg?
I foolishly waited for a long time, waiting for an egg?
Oh, it doesn't matter if it's an egg, eggs will bloom. When I got home, I washed it with the egg blossom flowers, which just made her angry.
Head back home.
Hu Qing changed her clothes on the way. She went in and out of the city gate so much that almost all the gatekeepers knew her. Rather than pretending to be stopped and interrogated, it was better to go in openly.
Sure enough, a familiar face was surprised to see her and came over to say hello: "When did you leave the city?"
The monk had good ears and eyesight and a good memory. Hu Qing couldn't hide it, so he simply said: "I went to a far away place to collect medicine and stayed for a few days."
The man was even more surprised and looked her up and down: "Madam, you are so bold. Are you not in danger?"
Hu Qing smiled: "No. Very calm."
The man thought for a while and suddenly said: "That's right. Since there was a distinguished guest coming two months ago, Chaohua Sect disciples have been patrolling the surrounding area every day. They must have driven away all the dangerous monsters around." He paused and added.
One sentence: "It may not be so safe in the future."
Hu Qing smiled: "Thanks for reminding me, I understand."
Entering the city, I called a carriage and went to Baicao Pavilion.
The man saw her going in the same direction as usual and didn't think much about it. He just said to his companion: "This little woman is amazing. She dares to spend the night alone outside the city. She must be very capable."
The companion looked in the direction Hu Qing left: "Well, I specifically asked the person who rented the place. She has a daughter who lives in the inner gate."
The man was surprised: "No wonder, there must be a good treasure from the inside." An unknown light flashed in his eyes.
The companion said slowly: "The Chaohua Sect has always protected the mortal family members of its disciples."
The man smiled and said: "I want to find many ways to buy good things from the Chaohua Sect."
The two of them stopped talking. Neither of them were disciples of Chaohua Zong. They just found jobs guarding the city gate. But in Baopingfang, under the roof of Chaohua Zong, things that offended Chaohua Zong could not be done.
made.
Hu Qing came to Baicao Pavilion and winked at Manager Jiang. Manager Jiang understood and took her to the small hall next to her, which was a place specially prepared for private conversations with guests.
Manager Jiang poured tea for her personally: "Ms. Hu, have you found something good?"
Hu Nuan bent slightly and nodded politely, took the tea and put it aside, then took out a jade box.
Manager Jiang laughed when he saw the jade box: "It's such a good thing, Madam Hu is even willing to use the jade box."
In the past, either bamboo baskets or cloth bags were used.
"Manager Jiang, stop teasing me. What did I know before? Please help me see if you need this thing? If not, I will take it to the mission hall to sell it."
Hu Qing is very honest, which means that you may not like what I find, but I will show it to you first to live up to our friendship.
Manager Jiang was surprised but for another reason: "Ms. Hu has joined the Rogue Cultivator Alliance? You——"
He looked at her suspiciously.
Hu Qing waved his hands repeatedly: "No, no. You have to hand over the spirit stone first when entering the Loose Cultivator Alliance. How can I have the money? It is the mission hall of Chaohua Sect. There is no charge for entry and exit, and there is no charge for accepting missions. I went to check it out.
I wasn’t sure and didn’t accept the order, so I thought I’d find something first and then talk about it.”
Manager Jiang understood what was going on and couldn't even laugh or cry. Madam Hu would always look at the spirit stone before doing anything.
He held down the jade box and picked it up: "My suggestion is that the Rogue Cultivator Alliance is a bit chaotic and not suitable for Lady Hu. Although the tasks there may be more rewarding, the things inside are very troublesome. It's better not to go." He said as he said
While opening the jade box, he asked, "Snow calyx orchid?" Then he quickly closed the lid and asked sadly, "Why is there no seal?"
Hu Qing was helpless: "I don't know how either."
Manager Jiang hissed in distress: "What a waste, what a waste."
He threw out a stack of long yellow talisman papers: "Just wrap it around it."
Demonstrate how to use it yourself.
Very simple, just messed around.
Hu Qing was embarrassed: "Well, how much does this cost?"
Manager Jiang laughed angrily: "I gave it to you for free."
"That's so embarrassing."
"I'll accept it for you. Even a beginner can draw the most basic talisman. As long as it's not damaged, it can be used as many times as it takes."
Hu Qing still asked: "How much?"
Manager Jiang: "One low-grade spiritual stone can buy ten."
Hu Qing was stunned: "So cheap?" You didn't lie to me, did you?
Manager Jiang: "I'm not lying to you. My young apprentices here can all draw. This is a basic skill."
Hu Qing grinded his teeth and saw a price for ten low-grade spiritual stones in the Talisman Shop. Needless to say, he was bullied by the boss of the shop. Fortunately, he didn't try to make a fool of himself. It was a seller's market.
She accepted it unceremoniously. She could afford the favor of a few spiritual stones.
"It's not just this one."
Hu Qing calmly took out four more boxes.
Manager Jiang smiled like a fox: "You still want to hand in the task?"
Hu Qing smiled: "Yes, the task is to purchase ten snow calyx orchids in return for a medium-grade spiritual stone."
Manager Jiang touched his chin: "This price is a little low. Why don't you sell it all to me? You didn't accept the task anyway."
Hu Qing had already expected it, but hesitated: "This is my first time doing a mission."
Manager Jiang was funny: "Aren't you doing the mission just for the spirit stones? I'll give you more."
Hu Qing: "I still want to get a good start."
Manager Jiang was speechless and rolled his eyes: "Snow calyx orchid does not grow on sandy land. Where did you find it? There is one in Hu Fenglin, there is one in Green Sandalwood, there is one in Small Fruit Sour Wood, and there is another one close to the river.
There is another one in the flower field..."
Hu Qing shouted out rudely: "Manager Jiang, you know all about it? Why don't you pick it yourself?"
It turned out that Manager Jiang had been to all the places she had been.
Manager Jiang's face twitched and asked her again: "What phosphorus powder did you use?"
Hu Qing: "Yes, you know everything written in that book, why don't you go by yourself? There are so many spiritual stones."
"It's bad luck." Manager Jiang was helpless: "I have been waiting for those plots of land for twelve months, but it didn't come out. It happened several years ago. You also know that the growth period of the orchid is uncertain.
I thought it wouldn't happen, but you took advantage of it."
jealous.
Hu Qing laughed: "Don't tell me, it seems like I picked up a big deal. I just want to wait until a piece of land is available, and I don't plan to look at anything else. When I came back today, the people guarding the city also said that in the past few months,
Taiping, when the monsters return to their den, how can I dare to spend the night outside the city?"
"You really don't want to go?" Manager Jiang asked.
