Eternal Tranquility

Liu Qinghuan's decision to close Qingfeng Tea House was not a temporary act of frustration, although he did feel angry and disappointed because of Zhou Shanwei's actions.

For a long time, his teahouse has become a frequent place for some foundation-building monks in Eagle's Nest City. Occasionally, even Golden Core monks will come to sit. He has a friendly attitude towards these people, and provides some carefully selected classics for free in the store. He does not hesitate to answer the problems or difficulties that some people encounter in cultivation. Pick...

I'm not doing this to ask for anything in return. In this difficult time of invasion from another world, all the Yunmengze monks should have been more united. He was trapped in this small corner and could only do his little bit to help these low-level monks, and maybe help some people to cultivate. Improve faster and have higher combat power.

So he felt a little chilled by Zhou Shanwei's actions, but that was all. He can't ask everyone to have a determination that feels like death, and he may not be able to do it himself, right?

The reason why Qingfeng Tea House was closed was because he decided not to continue hiding like this, but to actually do something.

After Jiang Nianen bought the Di newspaper, Liu Qinghuan ordered him to close the store and then went to the backyard to find him.

Confused, Jiang Nianen walked into the room where Liu Qinghuan usually used to refine weapons, and saw him frowning and looking through the booklet - because it was Kahan, the number of pages was much less than before.

"Sir, are you not opening the store today?"

Liu Qinghuan tapped the table and thought about the news he had just received. The newspaper did not mention anything about forced conscription, but only mentioned that the battle had suffered heavy casualties.

"From today on, the teahouse will be temporarily closed. After a while, you put a note on the door, saying that the owner is going to travel far and the date of reopening of the teahouse is to be determined."

Jiang Nianen was stunned, and asked anxiously and worriedly: "Sir, are you leaving?"

Liu Qinghuan stood up and sorted out the various materials placed on the shelves against the wall, calculating what needed to be supplemented. She glanced at him and saw that his face was full of tangle and nervousness. She couldn't help but feel teasing and said with a smile: "Yes. "

"Then...I, I..." Jiang Nianen muttered for a long time, and finally made up his mind and begged: "Sir, can you take me with you?"

"You want to come with me?" Liu Qinghuan stopped, turned around and said, "Maybe I will go directly to Sao Feng Continent to join the war, aren't you afraid?"

Jiang Nianen said firmly: "Wherever you go, I will go!"

He walked over in a few steps and knew that Liu Qinghuan didn't like people to kneel down, so he stood upright and looked at him with admiration: "Over the years, you have taught me carefully, not only giving me guidance in cultivation, but also You gave me a lot of care and protection. If it weren't for you, I might never be able to build a foundation. I would have no choice but to drift with the tide in this troubled world, and you would not be able to help me or my Wu family when I was bullied. I will never be able to repay the Jiang family's great kindness in my lifetime..."

When it came to the emotional point, Jiang Nianen's eyes turned red. He lowered his head and calmed down his emotions before continuing in a trembling voice: "I know that sir is not an ordinary person, so I don't dare to beg to be accepted by you. I just ask that I can always be with you." I am willing to be a slave or a servant by your side!"

"Don't forget that you are a monk, how can you accept being inferior to others!" Liu Qinghuan scolded: "If I find out that you have such thoughts again, I will never forgive you!"

Jiang Nianen flinched, and Liu Qinghuan put away his stern expression, pulled him out of the weapon refining room, sat down in the hall outside, and comforted him: "Okay, I understand. I was just teasing you, I won't leave for the time being. , It’s just that I’m going to make a batch of elixirs next, and I don’t have time to take care of the teahouse anymore.”

Jiang Nianen finally let go of the heavy stone in his heart and responded repeatedly, but he was inevitably a little disappointed.

Liu Qinghuan didn't understand what he was thinking, and said: "I have no plans to accept any more disciples for the time being, but you don't have to worry. I won't leave you alone if I leave. You can follow me back to the sect later."

"Ah?!" Jiang Nian'en exclaimed, Mr.'s sect... Oh, Mr. never said which sect he belonged to.

Liu Qinghuan said calmly: "I am a monk of the Wenshi Sect."

Jiang Nianen was so excited that he almost jumped up. The Wenshi Sect is as famous as the Shaoyang Sect among the four sects! He actually had the opportunity to enter such a large sect, and he was in the same sect as Mr.

Liu Qinghuan asked: "Don't spread this matter outside. There may be chaos outside for a period of time, so you can practice with peace of mind, or you can go into seclusion, but don't go out."

"Yes, sir." Jiang Nianen responded respectfully.

Liu Qinghuan stood up with satisfaction and walked out of the courtyard while saying: "I will adjust the protective array of the entire house and seal the entrances and exits. If you need anything, please report it to me. I will go out to buy a batch of spiritual materials later and bring them with you. for you."

Jiang Nianen had learned the art of weapon refining from him over the years, and he had given him the "Fire Forging Technique" and his experience, which could be regarded as returning it to its original owner.

"No need, sir. I will practice hard next."

Liu Qinghuan nodded, changed her appearance casually, and quietly left the house through the back door.

As we walked along, we found that the atmosphere in the Eagle's Nest City had changed. Many people had deep anxiety and unconcealable fear on their faces. There were very few people wandering around on the streets, and everyone was walking like the wind.

Liu Qinghuan went straight to several large elixir shops. He needed some auxiliary herbs. Because these medicinal herbs were relatively common, he did not plant them in the medicinal fields of Songxi Cave Tiantu.

After buying the elixir, he found a secluded corner. When he came out, he had transformed into a middle-aged golden elixir monk and headed to the location of the Immortal Cultivation Alliance in the Eagle's Nest City.

As soon as he walked through the door, a foundation-building monk came up to him, bowed and said, "I don't know why senior came to the Immortal Cultivation Alliance. Do you need junior to lead the way?"

Liu Qinghuan took out a jade token and said, "Okay, then you can take me to the battle merit exchange office."

"Yes, please go this way."

Following the foundation-building monk, Liu Qinghuan quickly arrived at a large room.

There were only a few people in the room, scattered in various corners. There was a table on one side, and a monk was sitting there lazily.

Thinking back to when Qushang Swamp was fighting against the beast tide, it was crowded and lively, but now it is deserted, which made Liu Qinghuan feel a little emotional.

Perhaps the grand scene of those years can still be seen in Yandang Fort?

The only thing that hasn't changed is the material exchange list posted on the wall, as well as the dazzling array of elixirs, magic weapons, and secrets of exercises.

Liu Qinghuan looked from the side one by one, looking for what he needed.

He fought hard in Qianye Mountain for more than half a year, experienced life and death several times, and then saved a spiritual vein. As a result, he accumulated a lot of battle points, but he never exchanged them for anything. The main purpose of coming today is to find suitable spiritual water, and then we can start preparing to refine the Jiuqu Hongchen Pu.

Each kind of spiritual water is a rare thing. It is born from the essence in extreme environments and has different powers and effects.

Soon, he found one: the Milk of the Earth Mother.

According to legend, there are strange stones in the center of the earth. They are as black as scorched earth and as soft as quicksand. They are rubbed together, ground and transformed to produce fluid. The fluid nourishes the earth and nourishes all things. It is slightly yellow in color like milk and contains supreme vitality. , drinking it can bring the dead back to life and extend your life for more than a hundred years.

Liu Qinghuan looked at the merit points redeemed for this milk, and couldn't help being shocked: her own merit points could only barely be enough to exchange for it!

He thought that he had accumulated enough military exploits, but he forgot that many spiritual beings in the world were created by chance and coincidence, and each one was difficult to measure by value.

What's more, the Milk of the Earth Mother can increase lifespan. As long as it has the effect of increasing lifespan, it will be something that many high-level monks are vying for.

And the Immortal Cultivation Alliance is indeed very generous. It can take out such rare items and let those who have made military achievements in exchange for them.

It seems that if he exchanged it for the Mother God's Milk, he would only be able to exchange it for one thing today.

However, his vision of the Jiuqu Hongchen Pu must have a piece of spiritual water with this property, so he had to change it.

There are several kinds of spiritual water on the exchange table, but none of them are as attractive to him as the Earth Mother God's Milk.

If so... He thought to himself, suddenly remembered something, and made up his mind.

After thinking about it, Liu Qinghuan came to the table and knocked on the table.

The monk in yellow clothes who was about to fall asleep behind the table suddenly woke up and raised an angry face. After seeing Liu Qinghuan, he immediately put on a flattering and frightened look, jumped up and stood up: "Senior, I'm fine, are you going to Exchange supplies?"

Liu Qinghuan handed over the jade token in his hand and said calmly: "I want to exchange for the milk of the Earth Mother God."

"Ah!" The man screamed. His voice was not loud, but it seemed extremely out of place in this empty room. The monks scattered everywhere looked over.

A sharp light flashed in Liu Qinghuan's eyes, and his face became even colder.

The yellow-clothed monk seemed unable to understand his expression, but still said with a surprised look on his face: "Earth Mother Divine Milk, you actually want to exchange for Earth Mother Divine Milk! That requires a lot of fighting skills."

Liu Qinghuan frowned. How could a young monk not take him seriously? Instead, he talked nonsense for a long time. He couldn't help but let out a hint of coercion and said in a cold voice: "Do you think I can't afford to change it?"

The monk in yellow felt his feet go weak and almost fell to his knees, but a force held him up and held him in place.

This person seemed to have just realized that he had offended a golden elixir monk. He immediately became confused and said repeatedly with trembling lips: "Senior, please forgive me. I was wrong. I will never dare to do it again. Senior, please forgive me!"

How did this man get this job!

Liu Qinghuan felt a trace of annoyance in her heart. She really wanted to slap him to death and shouted: "Shut up! Take me to your peak, immediately!"

Following the monk in yellow who was about to faint from fright, he arrived at a nearby hut, but there was no one in the house.

Liu Qinghuan looked at a small door on the left with a gloomy face. There was some kind of strange sound coming from the crack of the door, mixed with the screams of women, and there was more than one.

They promulgated prostitution during the day, and there wasn't even a soundproof array set up.

The monk in yellow threw himself at the door and opened it, immediately revealing the mess of the room. He seemed to have forgotten his fear and shouted excitedly: "Uncle, come out quickly! A senior is here to exchange for the Mother God's milk!"

A man's shouting voice came from inside.

Liu Qinghuan turned around and stood expressionless.

After a while, a middle-aged male cultivator in the late stage of the Golden Elixir came out and said in a loud voice: "Who wants to exchange for such a strange thing as the Mother God's Milk... Haha, it turns out to be this fellow Taoist, fellow Taoist is so polite!"

The other party's eyes quickly swept over him, and his attitude became more and more easy-going.

Liu Qinghuan revealed that he was in the middle stage of Jindan cultivation at this time, and he cupped his hands calmly: "It's polite!"

With that said, he handed over the jade token.

The middle-aged male cultivator laughed and took it: "Did you just come back from the front? You must have accumulated a lot of military exploits, otherwise you wouldn't be able to afford the Mother God's Milk."

Liu Qinghuan smiled noncommittally and watched as he walked to a table in the corner, took out a round jade plate one foot square, and played a few spells. A pattern appeared on the jade plate, shimmering with blue light. .

The middle-aged male cultivator floated Liu Qinghuan's jade plaque on the jade plate, and after a few more manipulations, he saw a beam of light suddenly flash across the jade plaque.

"That's enough." He turned around, returned the jade token to Liu Qinghuan, and smacked his lips: "Fellow Taoist is really not an ordinary person... I really envy you people on the front line. I heard that everything gained on the battlefield belongs to you personally. Can you still earn corresponding military merit? "

Liu Qinghuan's consciousness penetrated into the jade tablet, and the battle merit points inside had become very few, and he said: "That's true." Then he sighed: "What's there to envy? With your head pinned to the waistband of your trousers at any time, you can earn your life or spend it. . I envy you people in the back, you don’t have to be afraid. But where is the Earth Mother Divine Milk?”

The middle-aged male cultivator hummed in confusion: "Don't you know, fellow Taoist? Spiritual objects of this level like the Earth Mother God's Milk are generally stored in the alliance's heavily guarded warehouses, and require...well, some procedures and time to obtain them. take out."

Liu Qinghuan looked at him steadily. Seeing that the other party looked at him very calmly, he slowly said: "I don't know about this rule yet... So, how much time will it take?"

The middle-aged male cultivator said carelessly: "It didn't take long. I am controlling the jade plate here, and the other side has already received the news. It will be delivered in about half an hour at most."

He turned his head and said: "Xiao Yao, go make tea quickly, I will wait with fellow Taoist."

The yellow-clothed monk was looking around at the half-open door, with a lustful look on his face. He answered the call and slowly walked out.

"Hehe." The middle-aged male cultivator winked at Liu Qinghuan obscenely and gestured to the small door: "Fellow Taoist, do you want to play? I just collected several stunning furnace cauldrons, all of which have excellent kung fu. Keep them for you. Once you climb on top of them, you don’t want to get down.”

Liu Qinghuan said calmly: "Thank you, I'm not in the mood today."

The middle-aged male cultivator didn't care and closed the small door with his hand: "Speaking of which, haven't you asked Taoist friend Gao's name yet? Let me introduce myself first, Lu Yuesheng, a member of the Yinshan Sect."

Yinshan Sect!

Liu Qinghuan concealed her surprise. She did not expect that this person was actually a demonic monk and had joined the Immortal Cultivation Alliance. He replied: "Lin Ming, a casual cultivator."

After that, the two chatted wordlessly. Most of the time, Lu Yuesheng talked about the situation on the front line, and Liu Qinghuan only occasionally answered briefly.

When half an hour was approaching, Lu Yuesheng walked out and returned half a quarter of an hour later, handing Liu Qinghuan a jade vase: "Fellow Taoist Lin, please check it."

Liu Qinghuan unlocked the seal of the jade bottle and saw a water drop the size of a soybean inside the bottle, which was condensed but not scattered, round and rolling. Shake it gently and the refreshing frankincense will overflow.

He nodded with satisfaction, added a new seal and put it into the ring, cupped his hands and said, "Fellow Taoist Laolu! I'll take my leave now."

Lu Yuesheng's eyes also flashed with satisfaction, and he smiled and said: "Please!"

Liu Qinghuan sneered in his heart, flicked the corner of his clothes, turned around and left the Immortal Cultivation Alliance, but did not go to the Qingfeng Tea House. Instead, he strolled slowly in the Eagle's Nest City and bought some spiritual materials needed for weapon refining.

It wasn't until it got dark that he walked out of a tavern and headed south of the city.
