Since traveling through this world, Chen Li has become extremely self-disciplined. At first, it was just a lack of sense of security, but then he gradually got used to it.
Except for a little indulgence on the first night, his daily routine and rest were no different from before.
In the living room.
Chen Li was naked and practicing swordsmanship.
The black iron sword weighing more than 20 kilograms felt as light as nothing in his hand. The tip of the sword was like a spitting poisonous snake. It blurred from time to time and made a soft "squeaking" sound.
Zhou Hong leaned lightly against the door, looking at Chen Li who was practicing swordplay in the distance, with a quiet smile on her lips. She was very satisfied with her current life. She was safe, happy and stable. In just a few days, her figure became even more obvious.
So moisturizing and charming.
Soon Chen Li stopped.
"Wipe your sweat, you must be tired." Zhou Hong came forward with a towel: "Lunch is already ready."
Chen Li took the towel and wiped it randomly: "Thank you for your hard work."
"I just don't know if you like it or not!"
"I like to eat whatever you cook."
The two of them walked to the kitchen table, where the food, bowls and chopsticks had already been set.
"The world is getting more and more chaotic now. The Linghu Gang and the Giant Bear Gang are fighting again. It's best not to go out these days." Chen Li said.
"There is no shortage of food at home. I usually don't have anything to buy. Even if I go out, we always go out together." Zhou Hong said with a smile.
"Well, let's go to Fangshi for a stroll in a few days!" Chen Li patted her hand, feeling guilty.
The money Zhou Hong gave him a few days ago actually amounted to 24 middle-grade spiritual stones. It was absolutely unreserved. He didn't refuse even after thinking about it. After all, they lived together and the money was so clearly divided that it seemed like they were divided.
But he had already made up his mind that the money must be spent on her.
…
"Qiao Guanyuan is getting more and more outrageous. He sent someone here today to actually ask me to join his Linghu Gang and make elixirs for the Linghu Gang. Fellow Daoist Chen, you have to say something for me. Qiao Guanyuan will definitely give you face." Exit.
At noon, Lin Gui came over again with a sad look on his face.
Chen Li frowned when he heard this, and he was silent for a moment:
"I also want to help you, but the interests involved are too great. I'm afraid it won't save anyone's face, not to mention that Qiao Guanyuan and I have no friendship in the first place.
The reason why Qiao Guanyuan is looking for you is because the Shengxian Pill and Zhongmiao Pill you refined are in huge demand in the entire market. For him, this is a huge and stable source of wealth, and it is a spiritual chicken that is capable of casting spiritual stones...
...Even if there is no Qiao Guanyuan, there will still be Zhao Guanyuan and Li Guanyuan coming to find you."
"Pah!" Lin Gui slapped himself hard: "You never remember the lesson. Alas, this elixir is really the source of disaster. If I had known it, I wouldn't practice it... I wouldn't sell it."
"Actually, it's not necessarily a bad thing that you go to the Linghu Gang to make elixirs. With the way you sell things like before, I've been worried that one day you will die on the street." Chen Li comforted.
Lin Gui slumped on the chair: "Oh, I have brought it upon myself. Thinking about how prosperous I was back then, I was tested by my master and had my cultivation aptitude, and was taken away from the village. I have forgotten the name of that village now.
.
Master has always said that I have talent, and I will definitely have a chance to build a foundation in the future. He is a down-and-out old casual cultivator, a very good person. Every time he saves money and buys good things, he is reluctant to eat them, so he gives them to me.
I also strive for success. I have been practicing for only six years. By the time I was twenty years old, I had reached the fourth level of Qi training. However, I was still poor and could not even afford spiritual rice.
Until I got a secret method of alchemy by chance, I started to try to make alchemy. If there was no alchemy furnace, I would use local methods. If there were no medicinal herbs, I would travel over the mountains and ridges to collect them. Fortunately, I learned a mixed elixir, and finally figured it out.
When the elixir was sold and the spirit stones were earned, the excitement and the joy that went straight to the sky are still fresh in my memory... Oh, I'm afraid of being poor. I just like refining pills and earning spirit stones.
Stone, I just like to keep it."
Lin Gui chattered endlessly, talking about how he was a talented young man back then and now a drug-addicted old man who is obsessed with alchemy: "If I had practiced hard back then, even if I hadn't already established the foundation, I would still be a monk in the late stage of Qi training. How could I be like this now?
I couldn't help myself and was coerced into making elixirs."
"It's not too late to practice now. You can practice until you are old!" Chen Li comforted.
Just as she was talking, Zhou Hong brought the tea with light steps and put it down on the table: "Drink tea."
He turned around and left again, closing the door behind him.
"Zhou... Zhou, you... you... you..." Lin Gui stared at Chen Li with wide eyes.
"We're fine!" Chen Li picked up the tea and took a sip.
"Women are troublesome and it doesn't taste good. It's better to take the elixir and feel refreshed. Why don't I give you a few pills to try?"
Chen Li was speechless and murmured in his heart that he really deserved to be arrested and taken to make elixirs.
…
Afterwards in the evening.
Chen Li talked about this with Zhou Hong.
"Qiao Guanyuan is acting more and more domineering. It was not like this before." Zhou Hong's heart tightened and she snuggled into Chen Li's arms: "Don't get me wrong, he has a good relationship with... Gao Bo, and I got to know him well after going back and forth."
"Don't worry, I'm not such a stingy person." Chen Li said with a smile: "Everyone will change. After sitting in that position for a long time, he is probably not the same person now. But no matter how he changes, as long as he
If you don’t mess with us, it’s none of our business.”
"Yeah!" Zhou Hong nodded lightly.
…
Another day passed, and Chen Li's scolding skills finally advanced to the expert level.
Both the chanting of spells and the movement of spiritual power have become faster, the activation is more subtle, and the power seems to be a bit more powerful.
Chen Li did not dare to test Zhou Hong. He opened the door and looked around for the target of the test, trying to find a small animal. Suddenly his eyes met a casual cultivator standing in the distance.
The other party's eyes dodge, his expression is flustered, and he quickly avoids it.
Chen Li was startled for a moment, then when he realized what he was doing, his expression changed and he quickly walked towards him.
"Who do you belong to, and why do you want to monitor this place?" Chen Li said coldly.
"I don't understand what you are talking about, I was just passing by here." The casual cultivator said quickly, forcing himself to calm down.
"Liar, why are you standing here when you pass by? I know everyone on this street. You come from that street. What are you doing here?" Chen Li pressed forward step by step, filled with murderous intent.
The casual cultivator couldn't help but swallow his saliva, and couldn't help but touch the magic weapon with his hand.
"roll!"
The next moment, a soft drink interrupted his movements.
He was in a trance for a while, and before he could recover, he was slapped to the ground by Chen Li. At the same time, the magic weapon on his waist also flew away and fell into Chen Li's hand.
The casual cultivator was lying on the ground, his mouth full of blood after being beaten, his ears were ringing, and his eyes were going black.
Chen Li raised his foot and stepped on his neck, exerting slight force, and said in a cold voice: "If you don't want to tell me, then don't blame me."
"Fellow Daoist Chen, there is a misunderstanding."
Just then, another unfamiliar casual cultivator walked over quickly, with an apologetic smile on his face.
