Chapter 177 Cultivating the Alcohol Bug, Trouble Comes

Not far from Heishan Town, in the ice and snow, the nearby plum forest was in full bloom with red plums, adding a little color to the silver-clad world.

At this time, a beautiful woman wearing a white fox fur and a white veil walked out of the plum forest. Under the winter sun, her skin was as white as snow and delicate as almost transparent. The pupils under the veil were like two bright pearls embedded in her cheeks. Her long eyelashes trembled slightly. Her eyes were full of clarity, without the slightest foxy color, but attracted the attention of everyone in the caravan.

Although the red plums in the ice and snow were gorgeous, they were not as beautiful as her.

"What a beautiful woman! Could she be a fox fairy?!"

"Her skin is as white as snow! Could she be the incarnation of a snow spirit!"

"Ruyan?" Zhou Qing's eyes condensed, and he asked the coachman to drive the carriage instead of himself, and then flew into the snow beside the official road.

"I'm here to see my sixth brother off!" Everyone was surprised. Seeing Zhou Qing rushing towards the woman in white, they were sure that they were not dazzled.

"Keep going!" Zhou Qing shouted at the commotion of the convoy, and the apprentices came back to their senses and continued on their way.

But everyone's eyes were always on the woman.

"Junior Brother Zhou, you are really lucky!" In a carriage in the middle, a broad hand lifted the curtain, revealing Wei Mingcheng's pale and bloodless face. Looking at the appearance of the woman in white, even he couldn't help but sigh.

Snap!

Another hand hit the back of the broad hand, and the curtain fell instantly. An unpleasant voice came from the carriage.

"Your injury has not healed yet, and you can't see the wind. Don't you know?"

"Big sister, you also know that I am injured! Then why did you hit me?"

Snap!

A louder voice came.

"Talk less and save your energy!"

"."

The carriage fell into silence.

When the convoy was about to pass through Merlin, the curtain of the carriage was lifted again, revealing a beautiful face, and the corner of the eye glanced into the distance.

When she saw Zhou Qing grabbing the wrist of the woman in white, and then the woman in white took off the fox fur wrapped around her body and put it on Zhou Qing, Wei Hongyu lowered the curtain.

"Meet the master." Ruyan bowed, and the elegance and beauty appeared on the same person. She looked like an elf in the snow, and she was in perfect harmony with the world.

"Ruyan, why are you here?" Zhou Qing gestured for her to not bow, and he couldn't help but feel a little confused. He had already told Ruyan about leaving, and he didn't know why she came to see him off.

"You broke through?!"

Zhou Qing's eyes suddenly lit up, and he found that the divine power in Ruyan's body seemed to have changed in some way.

"Everything is thanks to the great blessing of the master. I have found the opportunity to break through. Today I come to see you off and tell the master this good news. If it weren't for the great grace of the master, I might not be able to become a god even if I practiced for another hundred years." Ruyan said respectfully.

As she said that, she bowed down and paid a great tribute to Zhou Qing.

"No need to do that. We share honor and disgrace. You can have what you have today only because of your own efforts." Zhou Qing grabbed Ruyan's wrist and supported her.

"My Lord." Ruyan was full of gratitude, and her eyes looked at Zhou Qing more and more gently. When her eyes moved, she showed amazing charm.

Fortunately, Zhou Qing's strength has greatly increased now, and he was not tempted by her inadvertent charm and showed his ugly appearance.

"I have nothing to repay you. This fox fur is woven from the fur that I shed after becoming a god. It is warm in winter and cool in summer, and it is invulnerable to water and fire. Today I give it to you, my Lord, to show my gratitude."

Ruyan took off the fox fur on her body and put it on Zhou Qing.

Zhou Qing wanted to refuse, but seeing Ruyan's sincerity, he accepted her kindness.

"Very comfortable." After putting on the fox fur, Zhou Qing felt that the temperature of his body seemed to be locked, and he no longer needed to resist the cold with blood and true essence. The faint fragrance lingering on the tip of his nose was also very pleasant.

"It is my honor that the master likes me." Ruyan smiled, her cheeks slightly red.

"I will leave Black Wind Mountain to you. When the Drunken Immortal absorbs enough divine power and wakes up, I will ask him to hand over the method of worshipping the gods. I will come back then." Zhou Qing said seriously.

The statue of the Drunken Immortal seemed to have suffered a lot of damage since it helped him repel Mu Renjie last time.

Even though Zhou Qing moved it to the mountain temple at the foot of Black Wind Mountain to share incense, it still did not wake up.

According to the agreement, after the Drunken Immortal statue absorbed incense for a month, it would teach him the eighth-grade method of worshipping the gods.

But now we can only wait for the Drunken Immortal statue to wake up.

Anyway, the time they agreed on is one year. If the Drunken Immortal statue still has no reaction after one year, don't blame him.

Although the restrictions on the priesthood are very large and it is not Zhou Qing's main profession, now that Ruyan is responsible for the spread of faith, he is equivalent to being a hands-off shopkeeper, and he only needs to collect divine power regularly.

Nowadays, more and more people believe in the mountain god of Black Wind Mountain, and the speed of divine power accumulation is getting faster and faster.

As long as Zhou Qing continues to improve his strength and escort the spread of faith, it is only a matter of time before the mountain god faith spreads to Tianzhu Mountain and Qilian Mountain Range.

If he can get the favor of Tianzhu Mountain and Qilian Mountain Range, it will be much easier to refine Gu and find treasures in the mountains in the future.

The priesthood may be a bit useless at present, but it has a strong auxiliary effect on his future development.

"I will obey your orders and wait for the return of my master." Ruyan bowed and said respectfully.

"The trouble I have gotten into is not small now. The current scale of the faith in Heifeng Mountain is enough for the time being. There is no need to rush to expand. When I solve the trouble, I will take you to Tianzhu Mountain near Nanli County. and the Qilian Mountains, there is a wider world waiting for you!”

Zhou Qing said seriously.

"Yes!" Ruyan's face was filled with joy. Choosing to follow the Lord was the most correct decision she had made in her hundreds of years of practice.

"Go ahead."

"I retire."

Ruyan bowed and saw no one around. She used the earth escape technique and disappeared from Zhou Qing's sight.

Through the induction between divine powers, Zhou Qing discovered that Ruyan was rushing towards Black Wind Mountain at an extremely exaggerated speed.

"So fast!"

Zhou Qing's eyes narrowed. At such a speed, even if Mu Renjie used his wind and thunder boots with all his strength, he might not even be able to see Ruyan's back.

Unfortunately, if he had mastered the art of earth escape, he would probably be able to protect himself even if he encountered a strong man at the peak of the blood exchange realm.

Zhou Qing stood on the hillside, looking at Heishan Town not far away, then flew away and caught up with the convoy.

They spent the next ten days on the road.

Because it was snowy, travel was inconvenient. If the official road was not flat, it would be difficult for them to travel hundreds of miles in a day.

Of course, Zhou Qing did not waste these ten days. He spent most of the time practicing internal skills.

[Technique: Aoki Sutra]

[Progress: Level 4 (19850/30000)]

[Skill: Blue Water Kung Fu]

[Progress: Level 4 (20000/20000)]

Since Grandma was in the car, Zhou Qing could not use the Ice Demon Gu's black ice body to obtain a physique comparable to a super root bone. However, the wood spirit phase also allowed him to practice at a speed comparable to the superior root bones on his shoulders, so the Green Wood Sutra The progress of cultivation has greatly increased.

As for the less difficult Blue Water Technique, he has already reached the fourth level of perfection.

It's a pity that there is no fifth-level skill, otherwise he could use this skill to try to break through the blood exchange realm.

Of course, he has not yet completed the tempering of all his bones, so he will not break through so easily. At the very least, he has to wait until the fourth level of the Aoki Sutra is completed before breaking through.

It is estimated that it will be complete within this half year.

At that time, he will be able to break into the blood exchange realm and become a great martial artist in the blood exchange realm at the age of nineteen.

After arriving near Nanli County, the convoy split into two groups.

A large group of people directly followed Wei Hongyu and Wei Mingcheng and entered Tianyun City.

Zhou Qing, on the other hand, entered Nanli County with his grandmother and two maids.

The yard he rented in the outer city has not expired yet, so he can continue to live there for the time being.

When he entered the house, he found that it was very clean, there was no snow in the yard, and the furniture was spotless.

Apparently, someone had been cleaning the place while he was gone.

The only one who can do this is Lanlan, probably because Han Qingqing requested it.

"You guys help grandma to rest in the backyard room first." Zhou Qing ordered the two maids to take grandma to the backyard first. Although they came by carriage, it was quite tiring for the elderly to drive such a long way.

"Yes." The two maids waited on Grandma to rest.

Zhou Qing came to the front yard.

"Next, we have to face new challenges!"

Zhou Qing looked at the sky over the county town and took a deep breath.

After grandma went to bed, two maids came to the front yard. Zhou Qing told them not to go out for the time being. He left the house and went to Wanbao Pavilion in the inner city. He directly showed off his martial arts skills and entered the VIP area of ​​Wanbao Pavilion. .

"Your guest wants to buy green silk poison and four-flavored wine recipe? Could it be that your guest wants to cultivate wine bugs?"

The steward responsible for receiving Zhou Qing was an old man with white hair and beard. Upon hearing Zhou Qing's request, a glint flashed in his eyes.

"Guanshi Liu actually knows about this?" Zhou Qing was stunned.

"In Nanli County, there are also some Gu masters who will disguise themselves and go into the city to buy some resources that are lacking in the mountains. After going back and forth, I will also know some inside information." The white-haired old man said thoughtfully.

Seeing Zhou Qing's brows frowning slightly, the white-haired old man quickly raised his hands and said: "I didn't intentionally inquire into your guest's privacy, I just wanted to remind your guest.

Even if you feed the green silk Gu with the most precious four-flavored wine, it is extremely difficult to cultivate wine bugs, and the resources that need to be invested are even more immeasurable.

Instead of doing this, it is better to pay some price directly and exchange a wine worm with the barbarian Gu Master. "

"Exchange the wine worm directly?" Zhou Qing's eyes narrowed, "Can it be exchanged for a first-class high-grade wine worm?"

Compared with starting from the green silk Gu and cultivating it into a wine worm, it is easier to directly obtain a ready-made wine worm.

Although the combination of two wine bugs does not require that both of them are the first level, but the higher the level, the higher the success rate will naturally be. Zhou Qing does not like to discount these things.

"First-class top grade?!" Manager Liu's expression froze when he heard this.

"The distinguished guest was joking, no Gu master would be willing to exchange wine bugs of this quality.

Even if it is no longer used, it will be passed down from generation to generation. "

"Where's the first-level middle grade?" Zhou Qing asked again.

"Only a low-grade wine bug." Manager Liu shook his head. If he didn't know Zhou Qing's identity, he would probably think that Zhou Qing was entertaining him.

"Then I still want the green silk poison and the four-flavored wine recipe." Zhou Qing muttered. It is not difficult to cultivate a first-level low-grade wine bug. From the tone of Manager Liu, you know that buying it directly will definitely be ridiculously expensive.

Among the wine recipes he has, the red apricot wine should be considered a sweet wine, while the fire toad wine is considered a spicy wine.

We still lack sour and bitter wine.

Of course, the more wine recipes, the better. This thing is cheaper than the pill recipe. After all, taking drugs can increase cultivation, but drinking medicinal wine is much more difficult to increase cultivation.

"As for the green silk Gu, there is stock in the warehouse of the Bi Pavilion. As for the four-flavor wine recipe, the Bi Pavilion only has two wine recipes, bitter shell wine and bee flower wine. As for the wine recipes of sour wine and spicy wine, I'm afraid you will have to try your luck at the auction, or trade with the Gu Master of the Wuxi Barbarian Tribe." Manager Liu pondered.

"Then buy ten green silk Gu first, and I'll take the two wine recipes of bitter shell wine and bee flower wine." Zhou Qing nodded.

Manager Liu called the waiter to inform the warehouse, and smiled at Zhou Qing: "Ten green silk Gu are worth two thousand taels of silver, and the two wine recipes of bitter shell wine and bee flower wine are worth three thousand two hundred taels of silver, a total of five thousand two hundred taels. I don't want the two hundred taels of silver, I will accept five thousand taels of silver from you."

"Well, thank you Manager Liu." Zhou Qing bowed his hands and sighed in his heart, money is really not easy to spend. If he knew that the green silk Gu was so valuable, he might have sold it directly.

A moment later, a warrior brought the green silk Gu and the wine recipe and delivered them to Zhou Qing.

Zhou Qing inspected the goods and left with satisfaction.

Manager Liu sent Zhou Qing out of the gate all the way. When Zhou Qing disappeared from his sight, the smile on his face gradually faded, and he looked thoughtful.

Then, he called a warrior and whispered in his ear. The man bowed respectfully and ran towards the outer city area.

When Zhou Qing got home, he immediately put ten green silk Gu into the wine jar filled with fire toad wine, cultivating the wine worm in the simplest and crudest way.

In just one night, six of the ten green silk Gu were drowned by the fire toad wine, and the remaining four were still alive.

Just as he was about to make further efforts, his ears moved slightly and heard a noise coming from the front yard.

"Tsk!"

Zhou Qing raised his eyebrows. Too many people would be a bit troublesome.

He walked to the front yard and saw two maids trembling and hugging each other. Lan Lan was standing in the middle of the yard, covering her face with a face full of grievance.

There were two middle-aged men standing in the corridor, one in purple official uniform and the other in black robes.

"Blood exchange realm?" Zhou Qing's eyes condensed. Both of them were actually great martial artists in the blood exchange realm. The man in purple official uniform was a general-level warrior of the demon suppression department. As for the other person, this outfit seemed to represent the elder of the Five Poison Sect.

I didn't expect trouble to come so soon.

"You, the younger generation, are so arrogant! A mere maid in the mansion dared to stop us from entering." The black-robed man smiled coldly.

Zhou Qing frowned slightly, and before he could speak, a strong wind suddenly blew in the courtyard, and a man in black armor and a very strong figure appeared in the courtyard.

"Brother Wan's cultivation has not improved, but his temper has become worse and worse."

"Han Wending?!" The black-robed man's face changed drastically.

The middle-aged man in purple official uniform next to him also changed his eyes slightly, and subconsciously put down his hands that were folded in front of his chest.
