Chapter 499: Battle Merit Exchange
The decision to close Qingfeng Teahouse was not a momentary act of anger on the part of Liu Qinghuan, although he did feel angry and disappointed because of Zhou Shanwei's actions towards the two.
For a long time, his teahouse has become a frequent place for some foundation-building monks in Eagle's Nest City, and occasionally even Jindan monks will come to sit. He had a friendly attitude towards these people, and he provided some carefully selected classics for free in the store, and did not hesitate to answer the problems or dilemmas encountered by some people in cultivation, and some of the magic weapons he refined were placed in the store at a very good price for people to choose from......
I don't do this for the sake of anything in return. At this difficult time of the invasion of the other world, all the Yun Mengze monks should have been more united, he was trapped in this small corner, and he could only do his little bit to help these low-level monks, or let some people improve their cultivation a little faster and have a higher combat power.
So he felt a little chilled by Zhou Shanwei's actions for the two, but that's all. He can't ask everyone to have a determination to die, and he may not be able to do it himself, can he?
The reason for the closure of Qingfeng Teahouse was that he decided not to continue to hide like this, but to do something practically.
When Jiang Nianen bought the newspaper, Liu Qinghuan ordered him to close the door of the store, and then went into the backyard to find him.
Jiang Nianen walked into the room where Liu Qinghuan used to refine weapons on weekdays, and saw that he was frowning and looking at the booklet - because it was Jiahan, the number of pages was much less than before.
"Sir, aren't you going to open a shop today?"
Liu Qinghuan tapped on the table to think about the news he had just gotten, and the newspaper didn't say anything like forced conscription, but only mentioned that there were heavy casualties in this battle.
"From today, the tea house will be temporarily closed. After a while, you put a note on the door, saying that the shopkeeper is ready to travel far away, and the date of the reopening of the teahouse is to be determined. ”
Jiang Nianen was stunned, and asked with arguing and worrying, "Sir, are you leaving?"
Liu Qinghuan stood up and sorted out the various materials placed on the shelves against the wall, calculated what needed to be supplemented, glanced at him, and saw that his face was full of entanglement and nervousness, and he couldn't help teasing, and said with a smile: "Yes." ”
"That'...... I, I'm ......" Jiang Nianen snorted for a long time, and finally made up his mind, pleading: "Can Mr. take me?"
"Do you want to go with me?" Liu Qinghuan stopped and turned around: "Maybe, I will go directly to the Howling Wind Continent to participate in the war, aren't you afraid?"
Jiang Nianen said firmly: "Wherever you go, I will go!"
He walked over in a few steps, knowing that Liu Qinghuan didn't like people to bow down, so he stood up straight, but looked at him with admiration: "For so many years, you have been teaching me carefully, not only giving me guidance in cultivation, but also giving me a lot of care and protection. If it weren't for you, I might never have been able to build a foundation, and I could only go with the flow and be helpless in this troubled world, and I couldn't pay it back when I was bullied. Your great kindness to me, to my Wu family and the Jiang family, I will never be able to repay it in my life......"
Speaking of emotion, Jiang Nianen's eyes were red, he lowered his head, stabilized his emotions before continuing to say in a trembling voice: "I know that Mr. is not an ordinary person, so I don't dare to beg to be received by you, I just want to be able to follow Mr. all the time, and be willing to be a slave or a subordinate!"
"Don't forget that you are a monk, how can you be willing to be inferior!" Liu Qinghuan reprimanded: "If I know that you have such thoughts again, I will never spare you!"
Jiang Nianen flinched, Liu Qinghuan put away his stern expression, pulled him out of the refining room, came to the hall outside and sat down, and said comfortingly: "Okay, I know." I was just teasing you just now, I won't leave for the time being, but I'm going to refine a batch of pills next, and I don't have time to take care of the teahouse. ”
Jiang Nianen finally let go of the big stone in his heart, and he was inevitably a little disappointed.
Liu Qinghuan didn't understand his thoughts, and said: "I have no plans to accept any more apprentices for the time being, but you don't have to worry, if I want to leave, I won't leave you, and you will go back to the sect with me when you turn around." ”
"Huh?!" Jiang Nianen exclaimed, sir's sect...... Oh, and the gentleman never said which sect he was.
Liu Qinghuan said lightly: "I am a monk of the Wenshi Sect. ”
Jiang Nianen was so excited that he almost jumped up. The Wenshi Sect, that is the same name as the Shaoyang Sect among the four major sects! He actually has the opportunity to enter such a big sect, and he is still in the same sect as Mr.!
Liu Qinghuan instructed: "Don't spread this matter, there may be chaos outside for a period of time in the future, so you can cultivate with peace of mind, or retreat, just don't go out." ”
"Yes, sir. Jiang Nianen respectfully agreed.
Liu Qinghuan stood up satisfied, walked outside the courtyard, and said, "I will adjust the protective circle of the entire house and close the entrances and exits." If you need something to report to me, I'll go out and buy a batch of spiritual materials and bring it to you by the way. ”
Jiang Nianen has followed him to learn alchemy all these years, and he has given him the book "Fire Forging Technique" and his experience, which can be regarded as the return of things to their original owners.
"No, sir. I'm going to practice hard in the future. ”
Liu Qinghuan nodded, changed his appearance casually, and quietly walked out of the house through the back door.
Along the way, I found that the atmosphere in the Eagle's Nest City had changed, many people had deep anxiety and unconcealed panic on their faces, there were very few idle people on the streets, and everyone walked like the wind.
Liu Qinghuan went straight to several large elixir shops, he needed some auxiliary herbs. Because these herbs were relatively common, he didn't grow them in the medicinal fields of Songxi Cave Tiantu.
After buying the elixir, he found a secluded corner, and when he came out again, he had turned into a middle-aged Jindan monk and went to the location of the Immortal Cultivation Alliance in Eagle's Nest City.
As soon as he walked in the door, a foundation building monk greeted him, bowed, and said, "I don't know why the seniors came to the Immortal Cultivation Alliance, but do you need the juniors to lead the way?"
Liu Qinghuan took out a jade medal and said, "It's okay, then you can take me to the battle merit exchange office." ”
"Yes, please go this way. ”
Following the foundation building monk, Liu Qinghuan soon arrived at a large room.
There were only a few people in the room, all scattered in various corners, and on one side there was a table where a monk sat lazily.
Thinking that when the Qu Death Swamp resisted the tide of beasts, it was crowded and lively, but now it is so deserted, which makes Liu Qinghuan feel a little emotional.
Maybe in the Yantang Fort, you can still see the grand occasion of the year?
The only thing that remains unchanged is the material exchange table plastered on the wall, the elixir magic weapon, and the cheats of the exercises, all of which are dazzling and have everything.
Liu Qinghuan looked from the side, looking for what he needed.
He fought in Qianye Mountain for more than half a year, after several lives and deaths, and then kept a spiritual vein, so he accumulated a lot of battle points, but he never exchanged anything. Today, the main reason is to find the right spiritual water, and then you can start preparing for refining the Nine Songs Red Dust Spectrum.
Each type of spiritual water is a rare thing, born from the essence of extreme environments, with different powers and functions.
Soon, he found one: Mother Earth's Divine Milk.
Mother Earth Milk, there are occasional strange stones in the center of the earth in the legend, black as scorched earth, soft as quicksand, learn from grinding and grinding, turn into Jin, its Jin nourishes the earth, moisturizes all things, the color is slightly yellow like milk, contains supreme vitality, drinking it can bring the dead back to life, increase life for more than 100 years.
Liu Qinghuan looked at the battle merit points exchanged for this milk, and couldn't help but be startled: his battle merit points could only barely be exchanged!
He also thought that he had accumulated enough military exploits, but he forgot that many spiritual objects in heaven and earth were born by chance and coincidence, and each of them was difficult to measure by value.
What's more, the Mother Earth Divine Milk can increase longevity, as long as it is stained with longevity, it is something that many high-level monks are vying for.
And the Immortal Cultivation Alliance is indeed generous, and such strange things can be taken out and exchanged for those who have made war achievements.
It seems that if he changes this earth mother divine milk, he can only exchange it for one thing today.
However, he had to have a spiritual water of this attribute in his vision of the Nine Songs Red Dust Spectrum, so he could only 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 Divine Milk.
In that case...... He thought to himself, and suddenly remembered something, and made up his mind in his heart.
After thinking about it, Liu Qinghuan came to the table and knocked on the table.
The yellow-clothed monk who was about to fall asleep behind the table woke up suddenly, raised an angry face, and after seeing Liu Qinghuan, he immediately changed into a flattering and frightened look, jumped up and stood up: "The predecessors and seniors are fine, are you going to exchange for supplies?"
Liu Qinghuan handed over the jade plate in his hand and said lightly: "I want to change the Mother Earth Divine Milk." ”
"Ah!" the man exclaimed, not very loudly, but it was very abrupt in the empty room, and the monks scattered everywhere looked at it.
A sharp light flashed in Liu Qinghuan's eyes, and his face became even colder.
The yellow-clothed monk said in surprise as if he couldn't understand his face: "Earth Mother Divine Milk, you actually want to change the Earth Mother Divine Milk! ”
Liu Qinghuan frowned, when did a little monk dare not take him in his eyes, but talked nonsense for a long time. He couldn't help but let out a trace of coercion, and said coldly: "Mo Fei, do you think I can't afford to change it?"
The yellow-clothed monk felt a weakness on his feet, and almost fell to his knees, but there was a force that supported him and held him in place.
This person seemed to have just found out that he had annoyed a Jindan monk, and his heart was immediately in turmoil, and he trembled and said continuously: "Seniors forgive me, I was wrong, I don't dare anymore, seniors spare my life!"
How did this man get this errand?
Liu Qinghuan felt a trace of annoyance in his heart, and he really wanted to slap him to death with one palm, and shouted: "Shut up! Take me to see your upper peak, immediately!"
He followed the yellow-clothed monk, who was so frightened that he almost fainted, to a nearby hut, but there was no one in the room.
Liu Qinghuan looked at a small door on the left with a gloomy face, and from the crack in the door came some kind of strange sound, mixed with the woman's constant screams, and there was more than one.
Prostitution during the day, and there is not even a soundproof array.
The yellow-clothed monk pounced on the door, and immediately opened the door, revealing the unbearable appearance of the room. He seemed to have forgotten his fear, and shouted excitedly: "Uncle, come out quickly!
A man's shouting came from inside.
Liu Qinghuan turned his head and stood in place expressionlessly.
After a while, a middle-aged male cultivator from the late stage of Jindan walked out, and said in a loud voice: "Who wants to exchange for such a strange thing as the Earth Mother Divine Milk...... Haha, it turned out to be this Taoist friend, Taoist friend is polite!"
The other party's gaze quickly swept over him, and his attitude became more and more easy-going.
What Liu Qinghuan revealed at this time was the mid-stage cultivation of Jindan, and he arched his hand quietly: "Polite!"
As he spoke, he handed over the jade plaque.
The middle-aged male cultivator took it with a smile: "Daoist friend has just come back from the front, you must have accumulated a lot of military exploits, otherwise you can't afford to change this earth mother divine milk." ”
Liu Qinghuan smiled noncommittally, watched him walk to a table in the corner, took out a round jade plate one foot square, and played a few tricks, and a trace of formation patterns appeared on the jade plate, flashing with a blue faint light.
The middle-aged male cultivator floated Liu Qinghuan's jade plate on the jade plate, and manipulated it a few more times, and saw a beam of light suddenly flash and swiped across the jade plate.
"That's it. He turned around, returned the jade plaque to Liu Qinghuan, and smacked his lips again: "Daoyou is really not an ordinary person...... I really envy you people on the front line, I heard that everything you get on the battlefield belongs to you, and you can still earn the corresponding military exploits?"
Liu Qinghuan's divine sense probed into the jade card, and the battle merit points in it had become very small, and said, "That's true." He sighed again: "What is there to envy, the head is pinned to the waistband of the trousers at any time, and there is a life to earn a life." I envy you people in the rear, and you need not be afraid. But what about Mother Earth's milk?"
The middle-aged male cultivator snorted suspiciously: "Don't you know, Daoist friends, spiritual objects of this level like the Earth Mother Divine Milk are generally stored in the heavily guarded warehouses within the Alliance, and they need to ...... Well, some formalities and time to take it out. ”
Liu Qinghuan looked at him steadily, and saw that the other party was looking at him very calmly, and said slowly: "I don't know this rule yet...... So, I wonder how much time it will take?"
The middle-aged male cultivator said with a big grin: "It didn't take long, I was manipulating the jade plate here, and I had already received the news over there, and it would be delivered in about half an hour at most." ”
He turned his head: "Xiaoyi, go make tea, I'll wait with Daoyou." ”
The yellow-clothed monk was probing his head at the half-open door, and with a lewd face, he heard a call and walked out slowly.
"Hey, hey. The middle-aged male cultivator winked at Liu Qinghuan obscenely, and motioned to the small door: "Daoist friends, do you want to have fun? The few stunning furnaces I just collected have an excellent kung fu, and I don't want to come down if you climb up to them." ”
Liu Qinghuan said lightly: "Thank you, I am not interested today." ”
The middle-aged male cultivator didn't care, and waved his hand to close the small door: "Speaking of which, haven't you asked the Taoist friend Gao's name? I'll report myself first, Lu Yuesheng, a member of the Yinshan Sect." ”
Yinshan Sect!
Liu Qinghuan covered his surprise, he didn't expect that this person was actually a demon monk, and he had also entered the Immortal Cultivation Alliance. He replied, "Lin Ming, a casual cultivator." ”
After that, the two chatted without a word, most of the time it was Lu Yuesheng who talked about the situation on the front line, and Liu Qinghuan only occasionally answered a few words.
When half an hour was approaching, Lu Yuesheng walked out, returned half an hour later, and handed Liu Qinghuan a jade bottle: "Lin Daoyou, please take a look." ”
Liu Qinghuan unlocked the seal of the jade bottle, only to see that there was a soybean-sized drop of water in the bottle, which was condensed but not dispersed, round and rolling. Shake it gently, and there will be a refreshing frankincense overflowing.
He nodded with satisfaction, re-added the seal and accepted the ring, and arched his hand: "There is a friend of Lao Ludao! Then I will take my leave first." ”
Lu Yuesheng's eyes also flashed with satisfaction, and said with a smile: "Please!"
Liu Qinghuan sneered in his heart, flicked the corner of his clothes, turned around and walked out of the Immortal Cultivation Alliance, but did not go to the Qingfeng Teahouse, but wandered around the Eagle's Nest City slowly, and also went to buy some spiritual materials needed for refining.
It wasn't until it was getting dark that he walked out of a tavern and headed south of the city.
