Chapter 31 Friends

For the next period of time, Qi Xuansu lived a monotonous life every day, eating, sleeping, practicing, taking medicine, and reading court reports. However, his aptitude was not top-notch, and he did not have the corresponding elixir or other resources. His progress was slow, and he was still quite a distance away from the Jade Tripod Realm. At this rate, it would take at least three years to reach a higher level.

In fact, the series of realms of Sanren can be seen from other inheritances, such as Sanren's Qi Refining Realm and Qi Refining Realm of Qi Refiners, Sanren's Inner Alchemy Realm and Exiled Immortal's Jade Liquid Returning Alchemy Realm.

However, Sanren's realm system is not completely pieced together, and it also has its own logic. Just in terms of the three stages of Xiantian people, first the Inner Alchemy, then the Jade Tripod, and finally the Holy Fetus, it is not difficult to see that the root is still the set of the Golden Alchemy Avenue, that is, Sanren is mainly based on the inheritance of the two immortals of heaven and earth, and in essence, it is still inseparable from the nurturing and growth of the true qi in the body.

In this regard, many Sanren knew the facts but not the reasons when they were in the Xiantian stage. They had to look back at the Tianren stage to fully understand it. The reason why Qi Xuansu knew it was because of Qi Niang.

Qi Niang said it very simply and clearly: "The Taoist sect likes to be mysterious. To put it bluntly, it is to build a cauldron to refine the elixir, and the fetus will move when the elixir is completed."

Qiniang also explained the origin of Sanren clearly. The five inheritances correspond to the five immortals of heaven, earth, man, god, and ghost. Xuansheng only integrated the five inheritances, not created them out of thin air. Before Xuansheng, the five inheritances had existed for many years, but they were not systematic.

Only Sanren was the inheritance created by the Taoist sect with human power. The original intention was to create exiled immortals by human power, just like farming, which requires artificial increase of income and change the situation where the harvest depends on the weather. The result was a failure, but not a complete failure. By chance, the inheritance of Sanren was achieved, which was a little comfort to those who could not inherit the five immortals.

According to Qi Niang, Sanren can also become an exiled immortal, but it requires some extremely precious things to make up for the innate deficiencies and change the roots.

Just like the finishing touch of a dragon, the exiled immortal is a real dragon, and the scattered people are fake dragons painted according to the real dragon. They can be indistinguishable from the real ones, and only the finishing touch is needed to turn them into real dragons.

This extremely valuable thing is the finishing touch.

The Taoist sect can take it out, but it is not cost-effective. Even if the exiled immortal created has not died in the middle of the process, it is difficult to make a profit. At most, it will break even. If one person dies, it will lose all the money, so the Taoist sect finally decided to terminate this plan.

Qi Xuansu was shocked by Qi Niang's extensive knowledge and became more and more certain that Qi Niang was once a Taoist, and a Taoist priest of the fourth rank or above who could touch the core secrets.

During this half month, the Taoist sect held a meeting at the Golden Palace.

The place where the thirty-six real people discussed matters was called the Golden Palace, so the meeting of the thirty-six real people was also called the "Golden Palace Meeting".

However, it is not necessary for all 36 real people to be present at the Jinque meeting. Sometimes, it is sufficient to gather 12 real people. This kind of meeting with uneven numbers is called "small meeting". Correspondingly, there is also "middle meeting" with 24 people. As for the meeting with all 36 people, it is naturally "big meeting".

This time it was just a small meeting, with 13 real people present. Even the Quanzhen Taoist geomancer, who was the rotating great real person, did not show up. Instead, the geomancer's confidant Donghua real person presided over the meeting. The meeting mainly discussed the specific rules for cracking down on secret societies, among which Qingping Society and "Inn" were mentioned as key targets.

After reading the news in the court newspaper, Qi Xuansu felt guilty for no reason. If his identity was exposed, he would be arrested by Beichen Hall and never see the sun again.

In the blink of an eye, it was already the first day of August, and there was only half a month left until the 16th of August.

Qi Xuansu was very quiet and wanted to move, so he planned to walk around.

If there is any good place in Yujing City, it is still Taiqing Square, which covers an area of ​​two squares. This place is called "square", but it is essentially the "city" of "square market". There are all kinds of shops, which is a truly prosperous and lively place. Xuandu has its own good places, but there are still many people living in Xuandu who come to Taiqing Square for entertainment.

It is a long way from Haichanfang to Taiqing Square, and Qi Xuansu decided to walk there.

When he was about to reach Taiqing Square, Qi Xuansu met an acquaintance, who was Miss Tantai who had drunk with him a few days ago.

It was too coincidental.

Qi Niang often taught Qi Xuansu that once was a coincidence, but twice was not a coincidence, and it was probably intentional.

Qi Xuansu was very alert in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face. She smiled and greeted him, "Miss Tan Tai, do you live nearby too?"

Tan Taichu, or Zhang Yuelu, smiled faintly and said, "I live in Taishangfang."

Qi Xuansu was a little surprised: "That's the first fang in Yujing. Those who can live in Taishangfang must be rich or noble."

Zhang Yuelu smiled and said, "It's okay. With my own ability, I can't afford to live in Taishangfang. An elder transferred it to me."

On this point, Zhang Yuelu didn't say anything nonsense. The Heavenly Master did arrange a small building for her in Taishangfang, but she had never been there. Most of the time, she lived in Xuandu's residence.

As for Zhang Yuelu's meeting with Qi Xuansu, as Qi Niang said, it was not a coincidence, but intentional.

Zhang Yuelu used to be the head of Beichen Hall, and now she has been promoted to the deputy head of Tiangang Hall. It can be seen that in addition to her talent and bones, she is also not lacking in means. Through her connections in Beichen Hall, it is not difficult to grasp Qi Xuansu's whereabouts.

At first, Zhang Yuelu wanted to see where Qi Xuansu often went or who he met, so as to judge Qi Xuansu's identity. However, he did not expect that Qi Xuansu was like a young lady who never left the house. Tian stayed at home and didn't go anywhere. Even the newspapers from his residence were delivered to his door by Taoists who specialized in newspaper delivery.

This made Zhang Yuelu a little frustrated. Could it be that she had guessed wrong?

In addition, Zhang Yuelu has been busy with affairs in the past two weeks, so he no longer pays attention to Qi Xuansu.

Until today, Zhang Yuelu received a report from Beichen Hall's informant that Qi Xuansu had left the house. Zhang Yuelu happened to have a rest today, so he temporarily decided to go see Qi Xuansu again and treat it as an interview in advance.

Qi Xuansu walked at a normal speed, very slowly, but Zhang Yuelu was faster than him and arrived at Taiqing Square first, so they met again.

The two of them had their own thoughts this time, but they didn't have the "why did they know each other before" when they first met last time.

Qi Xuansu took the initiative and said: "Last time I said, 'I'm drunk and want to sleep, please go away. I want to bring Qin to you tomorrow morning.' I didn't expect that my words came true. I could see Miss Tantai again. I didn't know Miss Tantai's Qin." 'Where?"

Zhang Yuelu shook his head and said: "I don't have a piano. But I do have a sword."

Qi Xuansu's heart was slightly frightened, but his face remained unchanged: "I wonder where the 'sword' is?"

Zhang Yuelu smiled and said: "The sword is a murder weapon and does not need to be carried with you, so I did not carry it with me. I came here empty-handed today."

Qi Xuansu glanced at the dagger hanging at his waist and laughed.

Zhang Yuelu's eyes also fell on the dagger hanging on Qi Xuansu's waist, and asked: "Is this Tianyuan's weapon?"

Qi Xuansu said: "I often walk outside and the rivers and lakes are dangerous, so I have developed the habit of never leaving my sword."

Zhang Yuelu nodded without saying much.

Qi Xuansu originally thought that Zhang Yuelu would ask to draw his sword for a look, but this was beyond Qi Xuansu's expectation, which made Qi Xuansu's vigilance weaken a little.

Although Zhang Yuelu is not very good-looking, he has a graceful appearance and a noble aura. Qi Xuansu was inferior, but Qi Xuansu was not mediocre, and he would not be completely overwhelmed by Zhang Yuelu's momentum. The two of them walked together, they were considered a good match, and they actually looked a bit like a couple of gods and immortals.

Pedestrians passing by all looked sideways. The young Taoist priest, when he saw the beautiful woman smiling, suddenly felt like a cool breeze ruffled a pool of spring water in his heart. When he found out that the beautiful woman's smiling smile was not for him, he felt as if he had been hit hard and lost his mind. Then he looked at Qi Xuansu with a somewhat evil look.

However, Qi Xuansu was not as happy as having a beautiful lady by his side. At this moment, he only felt that Zhang Yuelu beside him was like a tiger or a dragon, eyeing him. They were some kind of couple of gods and gods. They were clearly like cats and mice, so he had to be prepared. Where could there be more? How about admiring the beauty with half of your leisure time.

But Qi Xuansu couldn't understand why Zhang Yuelu was staring at him suddenly. Did he accidentally reveal his identity last time he drank?

The two walked for a while, and Zhang Yuelu suddenly asked: "Tianyuan, are you nervous?"

Qi Xuansu's body stiffened slightly when he was told the central matter, but he was a bit quick-witted. He glanced at the passers-by from the corner of his eyes, and he had already thought of a reply in a blink of an eye. He smiled bitterly and said: "It's not that I mean to compliment Miss Tantai, but The Tantai girl is outstanding in appearance. I saw the way those brothers looked at me just now, and they all wanted to cut me into pieces to relieve their hatred. "

Zhang Yuelu naturally noticed the gazes of several young Taoist priests, and said helplessly: "Tian Yuan is exaggerating, they are just... young people with strong blood."

Qi Xuansu said: "Fortunately this is Yujing, they don't dare to cause trouble yet. If it were other places, it would be hard to say."

Zhang Yuelu laughed and said, "It seems that I am an object that can only be snatched away by others involuntarily. They defeated Brother Tianyuan, do I have to like them? They are jealous. Have they asked me?"

Qi Xuansu's heart trembled: "I would never dare to have such an idea."

Zhang Yuelu also felt that his words were a bit harsh, so he softened his tone: "I don't mean to accuse Tianyuan. By the way, have you eaten?"

"I haven't eaten, what about you?" Qi Xuansu also breathed a sigh of relief.

"Although I have practiced the art of fasting, I have not yet reached the state of eating wind and drinking dew. I have not eaten for three days." Zhang Yuelu calculated, "Since you haven't eaten, I can eat some with you."

Qi Xuansu felt more and more that Zhang Yuelu was showing courtesy for nothing and was either cheating or stealing, but he said, "I'm flattered."

"To put it bluntly, we are not

Friends? "Zhang Yuelu blinked.

Qi Xuansu laughed dryly: "Yes, friend."
