Chapter 25 Prepare for a rainy day

The two chatted until the sun went down, and Zhou Yiqiao stood up to say goodbye.

Zhao Zhen was not suitable to go out, so naturally Zhao Lexin, who had never spoken, walked him to the door.

Most of the people who cultivate immortality are strong and handsome.

Zhao Lexin was only thirteen and a half years old, but she had already grown into a jade tree, and there was a hint of Zhao Zhen's heroic appearance in killing the murderous monks in his eyebrows.

Perhaps it's because of Zhao Zhen's good protection. Zhao Lexin has a delicate mind but a good nature. After contacting Zhou Yiqiao these days, he has already fallen in admiration.

Zhou Yiqiao threw two spiritual stones to Zhao Lexin and spoke with a smile.

"Take it to buy some small spiritual food. It will also be good for you to break through the second level of Qi Refining. Be careful not to be discovered by your uncle this time."

Zhao Lexin carefully took the spirit stone and spoke in a low voice with a smile on her face.

"Thank you, senior brother. I will hide it well this time."

Two spiritual stones are a huge sum of money for a registered disciple of Shanxuetang.

Zhou Yiqiao smiled and waved his hands, leaving the place.

He was not in a hurry to return to the cave to practice, but came to the Lingzhou Ferry and headed towards the Contribution Hall.

Since there is no way to avoid it, it is better to take the initiative and find a good job for yourself.

After arriving at the Contribution Hall, Zhou Yiqiao followed the instructions to the side hall and saw the purpose of his trip, Senior Brother Shi Kaishi.

Over the years, every time it was his turn to participate in a handyman task, he would pay Shi Kai a small tribute in order to ask Shi Kai to help him with the task.

Zhou Yiqiao was young and showed talent as an alchemist, so Shi Kai was naturally happy to do so. Over time, the two of them also developed a connection of interest.

After seeing Shi Kai, Zhou Yiqiao bowed his hands and saluted, unable to find any flaws.

"Senior Brother Shi, this time I came to bother you because I am going to the front line."

After hearing this, Shi Kai understood clearly and took Zhou Yiqiao to the quiet room set up by the Contribution Hall for the inner disciples who served here.

After activating the restriction, Shi Kai spoke for the first time.

"Junior brother Zhou has actually advanced to the late stage of Qi refining. I am afraid that within a few years, he will be able to become an inner disciple of our Yaori Sect."

Seeing Shi Kai congratulating him but not getting to the point, Zhou Yiqiao took out a small bag of spirit stones from his storage bag and pushed it to Shi Kai's side.

"Senior Brother Shi is so complimentary. If Junior Brother's cultivation can be even one point comparable to Senior Brother's immense cultivation, that would be enough."

"Senior brother, can you be accommodating to what you want?"

Shi Kai did not accept the bag of spiritual stones. He stood up and made a pot of spiritual tea. He poured a cup for Zhou Yiqiao and spoke with a solemn expression.

"It's not because Senior Brother is unwilling. This battle is really of great importance, and Senior Brother alone cannot control the scheduling."

Zhou Yiqiao stretched out his hands to take the teacup, placed it on the table, took out a large cloth bag and a brocade box from the storage bag, and pushed it to Shikai along with the small bag of spiritual stones.

The bag was quite heavy, and when pushed, it rubbed against the table and even made a dull sound.

"Junior brother is obsessed with the art of alchemy, and all his abilities are related to it. Fighting with the enemy head-on is not what I want. If senior brother can find a job for me to make alchemy, it will allow junior brother to better serve the sect."

"Inside this brocade box is the Shengyuan Dan that Junior Brother usually refines. Senior Brother can take a look at it."

Shi Kai looked at the large bag of spirit stones in front of him, which numbered at least two hundred, and exclaimed secretly. It was said that alchemists were the richest in the world of immortal cultivation. He did not expect that an alchemist in the Qi refining stage could produce so many spirit stones at any time.

He opened the brocade box, took out the Shengyuan Dan and swallowed it.

After a moment, Shi Kai opened his eyes, raised his eyebrows in confusion, and put the two bags of spirit stones into his storage bag with a smile on his face.

"Junior brother is really so talented in refining medicine. The quality of the Sheng Yuan Dan he refined is actually 10% higher than that of ordinary people."

"In this case, senior brother will not refuse. Junior brother will sit down for a while again. Senior brother will come back as soon as he leaves."

Watching Shi Kai leave the quiet room, Zhou Yiqiao closed his eyes and rested, waiting quietly.

This Shengyuan Dan was specially refined by Zhou Yiqiao from the elixirs available in the market. Thanks to Yaoyang's alchemy method and numerous attempts, even ordinary spiritual plants can now produce better quality than ordinary Shengyuan Dan. Two floors.

This is also one of the reasons why Zhou Yiqiao came to smoothen the relationship this time.

He had already learned about Shi Kai's background through Zhao Zhen.

This person is the grandson of an elder from the sect in the late Jindan period. He has dual spiritual roots but is uneducated. He is greedy for money and lustful. He is already a hundred years old, and his cultivation is still in the early stage of foundation building. Because of his grandfather's relationship, he has been He stayed in the sect as a director and never saw the wind and rain.

For him, he can decide the fate of the outer disciples of the Yaori Sect with just a few words.

Zhou Yiqiao showed off part of his alchemy strength this time just to give Shi Kai an excuse.

Shi Kai had an excuse to explain to his grandfather the reason for doing something special for Zhou Yiqiao.

About a stick of incense time passed, and Shi Kai returned to the quiet room with a relaxed expression.

He opened the indoor restrictions again and spoke with joy in his eyes.

"Living up to Junior Brother Zhou's trust, Senior Brother just found a suitable job for Junior Brother."

"Junior brother also knows that Zhulufang City in Zhulu City is now the place where our sect transfers resources."

"Now the sect has set up many alchemy rooms in that place to provide Qi-boosting pills and blood-generating pills for frontline disciples."

"Junior brother is very talented in refining medicine, so he is suitable to go here."

Zhou Yiqiao stood up to greet Shikai after he came in. After hearing such good news, he smiled and thanked Shikai.

"Thank you for your understanding, senior brother. I will never forget your help."

Shi Kai waved his hand in a pretentious manner, then took out an iron plate and a purple jade token and handed them to Zhou Yiqiao.

"Why is this necessary? Junior brother is extremely talented in alchemy, so he will naturally receive special care from our sect."

"This iron plate is a token of senior brother. Next time junior brother comes to use it, he can see me directly."

"This purple jade token symbolizes the special skill disciples of our sect. It contains the identity certificate of the junior brother. After the junior brother arrives in Zhulufang City, he will hand it over to the management staff there, and they will naturally arrange a position for you."

"The next batch of spirit boats heading to Zhulufang City will be in two months. Junior Brother still has plenty of time to prepare."

Zhou Yiqiao's smile did not diminish and he kept thanking Shi Kai before leaving the Contribution Hall under the other's gaze.

It wasn't until Shi Kai could no longer be seen that Zhou Yiqiao stopped smiling and let out a long sigh of relief.

Although Zhou Yiqiao has trained him to speak human words when seeing people and tell ghosts when seeing ghosts for two lifetimes, this is the first time he has used it in front of someone who is stronger than himself.

He had been frightened since entering the Contribution Hall, not daring to reveal any flaws. Fortunately, Shi Kai was obviously a fool, so he was fooled by Zhou Yiqiao.

By the time he returned to Ruijin Mountain, it was three poles above the moon.

"Since there are still two months until we go to Zhulufang City, we can also plan the purchase of magic weapons in the long run."

Zhou Yiqiao thought to himself and entered the cave.
