Chapter 201 Words of Love
The Su family had dinner for a long time that day.
On earth, the head of a family may rarely tell his hard work in front of his family at home. But here, because Bian Qing and Su Yulang are both cultivators, they will definitely encounter similar situations in the future, so Su Ziyi told everything about his experience without reservation.
And in his opinion, even if they are twins, they are both men, and they should deserve such a thing.
Bian Qing and Su Yulang indeed lived up to his expectations. Although there was always a look of worry in his eyes when he heard that Su Ziyi was trapped in dangerous situations such as the black ghost and the siege of the Mist and Tears Bamboo Forest, there was no trace of fear from the beginning to the end, and there was even a faint eagerness to try in his eyes, which made Su Ziyi quite satisfied. .
After listening to Su Ziyi's narration, it was already past Wu Shi. Sitting under the autumn stars in the sky, the members of the Su family did not feel cold at all, but their blood was boiling.
Among them, Su Yulang was the most active: "It turns out there are so many sects in the aristocratic family." Although he bears the surname Su, Su Yulang has never lived a day as a son of the aristocratic family. All his impressions of the aristocratic family come from this period of time
. What I saw and heard in Qixia Town. Most of the aristocratic families in Qixia Town were indifferent and overbearing, so Su Yulang had never liked those people very much. After hearing what his father said today, he realized that there were good people in the aristocratic families.
After hearing this, Bian Qing felt a little enlightened. He had never heard of these things before. Now that he heard it, he realized that it was because his position was too low and too narrow, so he was distracted by the clouds and fog in front of him. I covered my eyes and couldn't see anything more. After listening to this, he took the lead in summarizing: "So, aristocratic families are also divided into levels."
"There are big aristocratic families above the small aristocratic families, and there are super aristocratic families above the big aristocratic families. The strength gap between them is quite big. So a relationship of dependence was formed, right?"
"Yes, and do you still remember what Wang Xi caused in the town last time?" Su Ziyi nodded and explained to them: "That time, in addition to the Yang family, there were several The small family was destroyed, and these families were attached to the Yang family. Therefore, there is still a family level below the small family." "And the destruction of those families was also based on this level."
As the family grows, they can form alliances with other aristocratic families or families to overthrow the small aristocratic families; the small aristocratic families can also use this method to integrate their forces to replace the big aristocratic families."
Regarding the aristocratic family, they have always known nothing. Scattered, they simply take this time to sort out the relationship, so that they can have some peace of mind: "But the higher you go, the harder it is, so the larger the overthrown family is, the greater the impact will be. It is definitely not just a few small families." The family has no one to compare with."
"In that case, what level do they belong to in the Xiang Mansion compared to before?" Bian Qing thought to himself: "I never heard of them forming alliances with other aristocratic families in the Liu Mansion before. , On the contrary, they are quite close to some families. Does this mean that the Liu family is just a small family? Based on this calculation, other aristocratic families in the same Chucheng as the Liu family should be about the same..." At the end, Bian Qing looked over at Su Ziyi.
Regarding the affairs of the Su Mansion, Su Ziyi had not cared about it for a long time. Perhaps it should be said that he had never cared about it. So when he heard what Bian Qing said, he felt it was quite reasonable and nodded: "It should be so, and the four major families in Chucheng should all belong to the same big family, but I don't know where they are. Which big family is it?"
"Forget it -" This kind of thing is not something they can think of just sitting here and thinking about it, so Bian Qing was the first to interrupt Su Ziyi and Su Yulang's thinking. Su Ziyi was thinking about this matter seriously, while Su Yulang was thinking about it randomly, and in the end he was in a daze. "Anyway, for us, no matter which big family we belong to, it has nothing to do with us." Bian Qing agreed.
"Indeed." Su Ziyi nodded and stopped thinking about it.
"What's worrying is that the person you rescued won't set any trap for you." The aristocratic family is like a cloud and has little interaction with them. Bian Qing has nothing to say, but Su Ziyi The things he came into contact with in person in the water realm made him even more wary.
"It shouldn't be a problem." Su Ziyi said: "While still in the water realm, I dealt with all the suspicious things. And after leaving the water realm, I also spent a night in the Meteor Fairy Forest. If the black Mei really still has a way to find me, so he should have found me by then, and he wouldn't have been missing until now."
"That's true, but you still have to be careful." Bian Qing warned.
"Yes." Su Ziyi nodded in response: "I know, so I don't plan to touch the things I took from him recently, until after this storm is over." "Okay, then what are you going to do next?" When talking about the future, Bian Qing became more energetic. He straightened his back and leaned over, his eyes couldn't help but shine: "You are now on the verge of establishing the foundation. , do you plan to refine the Foundation Building Pill as soon as possible and then build the Foundation?"
"No." To Bian Qing's surprise, Su Ziyi shook his head and rejected it, because he had his own considerations and the dilemma that he had to pay attention to at the moment: "Building the Foundation Although the elixir is a yellow-level elixir, it is a fifth-level elixir. With my current ability, I can't refine it at all, so I plan to spend some time on alchemy and sword techniques first, and then go to it after I improve my alchemy. Plan to build the foundation."
"That's okay." Bian Qing knew that building the foundation was not a piece of cake, and said: "If you delay it for a while, it will be easier to get through when dealing with the Xiang family and the others. After all, Butler Xiang and Mr. Wu The doctors all know your previous strength."
"That's true." If it weren't for Bian Qingti, Su Ziyi almost forgot about it, but when he said it, he thought of other things again: "By the way, stay here How many elixirs are there at home?"
As soon as this question was mentioned, Bian Qing's face showed an expression of relief and helplessness: "On the fifth day after you leave, Butler Xiang will come and bring most of them. The elixirs were taken away, and the remaining small portion was scattered and sold. If you don't come back, the store may be out of stock in a few days." At the end of the sentence, he He also occasionally made witty remarks.
"Then I will start refining the elixir tomorrow."
"After all, the reason why I asked you to deal with Xiang Jia before is that I want to retreat to refining the elixir. If we can't hand over the elixir when Xiang Zuo comes over, then there will be something wrong."
"Okay." After this kind of incident, Bian Qing always listened to Su Ziyi. Anyway, he would arrange everything else.
The conversation in the Su family lasted for a long time. When their skin felt a clear chill, the three of them returned to the house with some satisfaction and prepared to go to bed. At this time, not only Su Ziyi was tired, but Bian Qing and Su Yulang who had been at home were also frightened and mentally exhausted, so a good sleep was a must.
On the third day, Bian Qing woke up in Su Ziyi's arms. As soon as he opened his eyes, Su Ziyi's eyelids moved. Then he opened his eyes and smiled at Bian Qing before his vision returned to clarity. He smiled and placed a shallow kiss on Bian Qing's forehead, causing Bian Qing's whole body to turn as red as if it were cooked.
This was the first kiss between them.
The power brought by this kiss made Bian Qing happy all day long. Even when Zhang Wu came to hunt with him in the Fallen Fairy Forest, there was a bright smile on his face, which once made Zhang Wu think he was possessed. Especially when he took back the bloody whip in his hand, the smile on his lips became even more weird, which made Zhang Wutian not speak much until he returned home and breathed a sigh of relief.
When Su Ziyi said he wanted to improve his alchemy skills, he was not just joking.
After Bian Qinggen and Su Yulang went out, he got into the pharmacy and began to refine the elixirs needed in the store, making the elixirs that should be available during the twenty days of absence. Although the skills are still the same and can only be refined to the third-grade peak elixir, due to the growth of cultivation, the reserve of spiritual power and the ability to master spiritual power have been improved, so at the end of a day, the elixirs refined are more than It was nearly 20% more than the day before, and the quality was even better!
Such results gave him some confidence, and he began to try to refine the existing elixirs, just like he had done before. When he was refining the Rejuvenation Pill and Nourishing Qi Powder, he came up with two powder formulas and sold them to the Warrior Gym for a small profit. But this time, he didn't expect to come up with anything new. He just hoped to use the existing ones. On the basis of constantly thinking about improving yourself.
Therefore, for a period of time after returning home, he was immersed in this. In addition to refining elixirs, he also practiced sword practice to relieve fatigue, and stretched his body and relaxed his mind through Zhiyi Sword Jue. After alternating this way, he didn't feel much. tired.
But he didn't feel tired, but Bian Qing felt a little unhappy.
During the two days when Su Ziyi came back, the atmosphere between the two was just right. Bian Qing thought that they could take this opportunity to further heat up their relationship and enter the next stage. Unexpectedly, Su Ziyi dived into the elixirs and sword techniques. . Even though he would hug himself to sleep every day instead of meditating all night like before, that was totally not enough. Instead, it was like scratching an itch that was missing something, making him feel even more uncomfortable.
Su Ziyi, as the person beside his pillow, naturally saw his discomfort.
"What's wrong? You don't seem to be in good spirits. Are you too tired recently?" At night, after practicing meditation, Su Ziyi and Bian Qing lay on the bed and talked. In order to get closer, Su Ziyi turned over and lay on his side, talking with his elbow against Bian Qing's shoulder. When Bian Qing saw this, he also turned over and faced Su Ziyi face to face.
"Huh? What's wrong? Tell me." Seeing that Bian Qing only pursed his lips and said nothing, Su Ziyi thought that Bian Qing had encountered some difficulty.
As soon as Bian Qing saw his eyes, he knew what he was thinking. He sighed in his heart, and then got into Su Ziyi's arms with some embarrassment. He hugged Su Ziyi's back fiercely with one hand, hoping he could combine the two into one. His sudden attack made Su Ziyi subconsciously step back a little, and then he immediately responded with a smile and hugged the person, putting his chin on the person's head and saying, "Are you having a little temper?"
"No," Bian Qing said. He curled his lips and said, while his cheeks turned red with embarrassment, and he didn't dare to raise his head at all.
He simply couldn't imagine himself doing such a shameful thing. You know, in front of outsiders, he has always been calm, and in front of his husband and children, he has always been considerate and mature. He has never done this kind of coquettish behavior with a bit of irritation, as if he was possessed by Su Yulang . How could this not make him feel uncomfortable?
Bian Qing's hair was a little soft, and Su Ziyi felt very comfortable touching it, so he couldn't stop touching it with his hands. Hearing Bian Qing's duplicity, he also felt why this person was so soft.
"Hmm, no, no, I was wrong." Su Ziyi said perfunctorily with a smile. He only felt that the moment he held the person in his arms was so comforting, and he didn't want to let go at all. Bian Qing felt even more embarrassed when he heard Su Ziyi's coaxing words. However, the unhappiness made him feel uncomfortable, so he finally raised his head, looking like he was hesitating to speak. Looked at Su Ziyi.
Seeing that the person had escaped from his arms, Su Ziyi did not hold him down, but when Bian Qing looked at him with an aggrieved look, he suddenly became more playful and pressed his face against him, their noses touching each other. The tip of his nose touched at people. When Bian Qing saw him like this, he felt even more angry. He felt that this man was usually very clever, so why didn't he guess what was going on in his mind at this time?
Feeling aggrieved, Bian Qing felt scared. Facing Su Ziyi's sticky eyes, his lips moved forward and immediately pressed against Su Ziyi's.
Su Ziyi was stunned for a moment when he was kissed by something soft and warm.
Then when he lowered his eyes and saw the nervousness and fear in Bian Qing's eyes, he immediately understood. Considering what happened recently, plus Bian Qing's character of always keeping things to himself, how can one understand what Bian Qing is thinking? His big hand touching the back of the person's head immediately used force to push the person closer, and with a dexterous move of his tongue, he pushed the person's lips apart and entered lingeringly.
——What a timid little fool.
Su Ziyi thought.
The development of the matter was a little bit beyond Bian Qing's expectation, but Su Ziyi's initiative and non-rejection undoubtedly made Bian Qing happy, but how long could this joy last? His whole mind was swallowed up by Su Ziyi's domineering attitude. , completely falling into the lust trap set by Su Ziyi. When Su Ziyi was finally willing to let him go, his eyes were already misty. He could only feel the person in front of him holding his hand, interlocking his fingers, and said in a very caring tone to his ear: "These hands , we will never let go."
Chapter 202 Ask for advice on alchemy
Well, never let go.
Bian Qing didn't know when he fell asleep. He only knew that when he woke up, their hands were still clasped together. Su Ziyi stretched out his arms and directly held the naked man in his arms. The two of them were skin to skin, as if they were one body.
Feeling the pain in that place, Bian Qing felt extremely real and extremely satisfied at this moment.
Su Ziyi was woken up by Su Yulang. After the child finished his morning practice, he started to prepare breakfast very actively, so it made a ping-pong-pong-pong noise in the yard. As soon as Su Ziyi woke up, he subconsciously wanted to get up, but was pulled back by the weight in his arms. After taking a closer look, he noticed that Bian Qing was sleeping soundly in his arms, with him on his exposed bare shoulders. The red marks from last night.
At this moment, Su Ziyi couldn't help but blush despite how calm and self-possessed he was in the past.
He lay back down again and carefully traced Bian Qing's facial features with his eyes. The more he looked at it, the more he felt that every inch of Bian Qing's body was just right and made him want to kiss him again and again. He let Su Yulang toss around outside, only holding Bian Qing's intertwined hand to play with it carefully, breathing in the air full of their scent in his nose, and finally couldn't help but leaned forward and kissed Bian Qing's eyelids.
And the moment his lips left, Bian Qing seemed to be startled, his eyelids trembled, and he opened his eyes in a daze the next second.
After falling asleep, he didn't expect to see Su Ziyi's face next to his when he opened his eyes. In an instant, everything about last night was awakened from the depths of his memory, causing Bian Qing's cheeks to turn red immediately. But his appearance was just right in Su Ziyi's eyes. He put his hands into his arms and kissed the top of his hair: "Good morning."
"Good morning." No matter how happy he was before, he was thinking about it alone in his mind, but now that the other client was face to face with him, the shame of being ignored immediately came out again. However, after being hugged by Su Ziyi for a while and the noise caused by Su Yulang outside getting louder and louder, this shyness faded away little by little. He pushed Su Ziyi and said with a slight blush: "It's time to get up, otherwise I'm afraid A Lang will tear down the kitchen later."
There was a hint of helplessness in his words, but Su Ziyi listened happily.
The two got up and successfully took over everything Su Yulang was doing before he demolished the house. But before letting go, the child asked suspiciously: "Father, why did you get up so late today?" Bian Qing blushed again. Seeing this, Su Ziyi quickly took the child with him in order to make Bian Qing no longer so embarrassed. They went to deal with the spiritual grass together, leaving the space for Bian Qing to sort out his emotions.
Because there is a lot of monster meat brought back from the territory of Shuizhu, the Su family has been eating all kinds of monster meat for a while. The spiritual energy in it is rich, which further strengthens the three people who have not been promoted for a long time. Existing cultivation level. But because the meat of some monster beasts inside was of too high a grade, Bian Qing and Su Yulang couldn't bear it, so they had to let Su Ziyi eat it alone.
As for the elixirs, relying on the accumulation over this period of time, Su Ziyi has completed the next batch of elixirs to be handed over to Xiang Mansion, and has also completed the elixirs in the store, so he can refine them in the next time. While making the elixir for sale, I started to think about the fourth-grade elixir.
For him, refining a fourth-grade elixir is neither difficult nor easy.
His talent in alchemy is very good, and he can easily refine third-grade elixirs. Even the elixir that requires a lot of skill, such as the Heart Protection Pill, is a success, and the quality is not bad, so he challenges the fourth-grade elixir. He is also qualified. But if you really want to make a breakthrough, in addition to being familiar with third-grade elixirs, you also need to have a thorough understanding of alchemy in order to succeed.
Therefore, what he lacks now is this understanding.
After being trapped in the pharmacy for several days, Su Ziyi knew that working behind closed doors would not work, so he decided to take a walk outside today to see what was going on outside and listen to other people's opinions. In this huge Qixia Town, the person who best meets Su Ziyi's goals is Dr. Wu from the Xiang family. Although the doctor is not as good as him, he has been immersed in alchemy for decades and has much more experience than him. It would be useful to communicate more with him. He was of great benefit.
The only trouble is that Dr. Wu has too much contact with the Xiang Mansion. If he meets other members of the Xiang Mansion there, his cultivation will most likely expose his recent situation. Fortunately, as soon as Bian Qing heard about his troubles, he told him what was considered good news.
"What? Old Doctor Wu moved out alone?" Upon hearing the news, Su Ziyi was happy at first, and then worried.
"What's going on? Don't Xiang Mansion and the others always value Dr. Wu very much?" "
I don't know the specific situation." Bian Qing served a bowl of porridge to someone and said, "But Housekeeper Hinata When I came to pick up the elixir, I mentioned that there was a distinguished guest coming, so Dr. Wu temporarily moved to Dongcheng. I saw him on the street a while ago, and he was in good spirits. It shouldn't be What a big deal."
"That's good." Su Ziyi breathed a sigh of relief and started to drink the porridge.
With this incident, Su Ziyi went to see Dr. Wu, feeling much more relieved.
And old doctor Wu was extremely happy to see Su Ziyi visiting.
When they were still in Shuiyun Town, they didn't have much contact, so Su Ziyi gave him the impression that he was a pretty good young man. When he learned that Su Ziyi was born in the Su Mansion and his friendship with Su Ziyi grew day by day, he began to feel more and more fond of Su Ziyi. He also became more and more amazed at Su Ziyi's talent in alchemy, which aroused his appreciation for talents.
Therefore, when Su Ziyi arrived that day, he hurriedly asked people to bring Su Ziyi in.
"I heard from Xiang Zuo that you have been refining elixirs in seclusion recently. I haven't seen you for a long time." As soon as he saw Su Ziyi, Dr. Wu was keenly aware that the aura on Su Ziyi's body was thicker, and a complicated expression immediately appeared in his eyes: " I said, you kid, haven't you made another breakthrough?" He also knew what happened to the third elder and Xiang Nanyu in Luoshan Village, so he also believed that there was a Jindan master standing behind Su Ziyi.
Su Ziyi didn't know what he was thinking. When he heard what he said, he just smiled, cupped his hands and said, "It's just a fluke." He didn't say whether it was a breakthrough in his state of mind or his cultivation, it was just so vague. past.
Old Doctor Wu had already determined from the bottom of his heart that Su Ziyi's breakthrough was inevitable, so he did not get entangled in this matter. Instead, he began to exchange his recent experience in alchemy with Su Ziyi. And through this exchange, he affirmed Su Ziyi's seclusion and research these days, because many of the questions raised by Su Ziyi were discovered only after he had been refining alchemy for ten or twenty years. Su Ziyi had already discovered these at such a young age, and there was really a lot to be done.
While affirming, Dr. Wu imparted his experience to Su Ziyi without hesitation.
Su Ziyi was extremely grateful and listened to the lectures with an open mind. When he heard the key points, he could draw inferences and draw inferences, which made Dr. Wu look more highly at him. After this exchange, Su Ziyi benefited a lot. The threshold for fourth-grade elixirs was clearly visible, and he just had to wait for him to go home and start verifying it.
However, Old Doctor Wu had other suggestions for him to refine the fourth-grade elixir.
"I guess that the only alchemists you have come into contact with until now are me and your master." After finishing a cup of tea, Old Doctor Wu asked someone to bring another pot of tea to him. He sipped it carefully and said, "Although Your master is very powerful, but now that you are in Qixia Town, relying solely on what he taught you is completely insufficient, so I think you should interact more with other alchemists. "Master
? Are you talking about Doctor Li? Su Ziyi raised his eyebrows and thought.
Before he could continue thinking, Old Doctor Wu spoke again: "You should know the major forces in Qixia Town." Su Ziyi nodded. "Because it is not easy to train alchemists. Most alchemists belong to these major forces. There are very few individual alchemists like you. There may even be no other alchemists except you in the whole town. coming."
"So if you want to make friends with other alchemists, you must either join one of the forces, or find another way to get in touch with those people." After hearing what Old Doctor Wu said, Su Ziyi's brows twisted uncontrollably, because Neither approach seemed feasible for him. His situation is too special. No matter which force he joins, he may cause unnecessary trouble. Therefore, until he has the strength to protect his family, it is best for him to keep a low profile.
As for the second method mentioned by Dr. Wu, he really wanted to do it, but he didn't have the connections.
No -
Old Doctor Wu has known him for such a long time, and naturally he knew from Xiang Zuo and others that he was unwilling to join any aristocratic family, so why did he say such a thing today? Seemingly having an answer in his heart, Su Ziyi looked over at Old Doctor Wu, only to see Old Doctor Wu sipping tea calmly and smiling at him.
In an instant, Su Ziyi understood the deeper meaning.
He stood up and saluted Old Doctor Wu, his words sincere and sincere: "Junior, please give me your advice."
Seeing Su Ziyi being so sensible, Old Doctor Wu's smile deepened. He didn't show off, put down the tea cup, and held the person up with both hands. After the person sat down again, he said seriously: "You have been dating the Xiang family for some time, and you should know that I am not the Xiang family's alchemist. Master." Su Ziyi nodded.
"Although he belongs to aristocratic family, he is still a little different from the son of aristocratic family." At this point, old doctor Wu had a layer of anger in his eyes. It seemed to be related to his recent experience, but when he thought that Su Ziyi was still there, At this moment, he put away this little emotion: "There are restrictions, but because you can't enter the core, it is easier to deal with the outside world." Huh
? Can't get to the core? Why is this different from what he heard before?
But Su Ziyi didn't think about it in detail, because he knew that Dr. Wu told him this just to tell him that he had connections. As expected, after what Old Doctor Wu said, the next sentence was: "I am old and incompetent. Although I have no achievements in alchemy, I have made many friends through my business over the years. Many of them are in the field of alchemy." I gained some insights along the way." "
Most of them are supported by aristocratic families like me, and they get together because of common encounters. They often meet in pairs to discuss some alchemy-related issues." Su Ziyi knew in his heart that this was an unofficial It's an informal small interest group. Although the name of this small group may not be very good, it is the best he can currently come into contact with.
"I have watched your growth with my own eyes, so I know that your talent in alchemy is excellent and should not be wasted." After talking on the phone for a long time, we finally got to the point. When Su Ziyi heard this, he immediately straightened his waist and his whole expression became a little more solemn. "I intend to bring you into this circle, but -" "
Although our group of people are gathered together because of alchemy, we are still controlled by the forces behind us, so if you are promoted into it, you will definitely be Get into the eyes of other aristocratic families." Old Doctor Wu tapped his fingers on the pine wood table next to him, as if he was not sure whether his move was appropriate: "I know you like to be quiet and don't like to be disturbed. But if -" He glanced at Su Ziyi, obviously giving the other party the choice.
Su Ziyi naturally knew that what Old Doctor Wu said was indeed true, but he was a little confused about what was the intention behind Old Doctor Wu doing these things?
He is not a fledgling young man, so naturally he cannot think that his talent in alchemy is good enough to attract the attention of Dr. Wu. Old Doctor Wu really appreciates him somewhat. When he wants to do more things behind this appreciation, his interests must be taken into consideration. Therefore, he couldn't help but wonder, what was the purpose of Old Doctor Wu doing this?
Is it for Xiang Jia? Or himself?
This question was unclear, so Su Ziyi put it aside. The most important question now was whether he should agree to Dr. Wu?
He has practiced alchemy until now. Except for the enlightenment given by Doctor Li at the beginning, most of the rest has been figured out by himself. The path is a bit wild and not systematic, so the guidance from the authentic alchemist has become It's become very important. Although Dr. Wu had given him some guidance in the past, they could only be said to clear up some doubts, and he didn’t know anything deeper.
From this, it seems that he has no choice.
There was a lot going on in my mind, but only a moment passed. After saying those words, Old Doctor Wu poured himself another cup of tea and sipped it slowly, as if he just didn't want his pearls to leak out when he said those words before. Su Ziyi glanced at him pretending to be unintentional, and saw that his fingers holding the tea were very stiff, and he suddenly had an idea in his heart.
He raised his hands to Old Doctor Wu, with a face full of longing and sincerity: "Thank you for your advice. These are indeed the problems I am currently encountering, and I am also yearning for what you mentioned, so I don't know if I can Shamelessly asking you to help me with referrals?"
