Eternal Tranquility

Hearing him say that he wanted to see Su Luo, the hunchbacked old man turned around and looked him up and down, and said gloomily: "I think you are very strange, but I just don't know where you think I am in Senluo City? You can meet whoever you want." …”

His words stopped abruptly because Liu Qinghuan suddenly took out a treasure box.

He saw clearly the several sealing talismans on the box at a glance, and long boxes of this shape were usually used to hold elixirs. A flash of light suddenly burst out of his muddy blind eyes. After thinking for a moment, he asked: "What is in this?"

Liu Qinghuan calmly shook the treasure box, put it away with a flip of his hand, and said: "What is inside naturally depends on whether you are qualified to know it, fellow Taoist. Senluo City is indeed one of the Five Emperors. He even sent a late-stage Nascent Soul monk to guard the door."

The hunchbacked old man paused for a moment, his rickety back slowly straightened up, and his attitude softened a little: "The little old man is about to die, so naturally he can only do the job of guarding the door. I haven't asked my Taoist friend for his honorary name yet?"

"Aoki."

"It turns out to be fellow Taoist Qingmu. I wonder why you want to see our second lady?"

Liu Qinghuan couldn't help but feel amused. In just a few words, the old man's attitude towards the two legitimate daughters in Senluo City was revealed. He was obviously disapproving of Hongshang, but when he mentioned Su Luo, his tone became much closer. .

Thinking about it in his heart, he said: "It's because of my old friend's entrustment."

"Old friend?"

"Lonely Night."

The muscles on the other party's face twitched strangely a few times, and after a moment of silence, he took out a finger-long talisman from his arms, drew a few strokes on it with his empty finger, and threw it outside the tea room.

The talisman turned into a golden light and disappeared in a flash.

After doing this, the hunchbacked old man stooped again, and asked with an expectant look on his face: "Brother Aoki, is that the Life-Repairing Cordyceps in your treasure box?"

Liu Qinghuan stopped being pretentious and nodded.

The hunchbacked old man's hands trembled slightly, and he murmured: "God has eyes, God has eyes, the second lady can be saved..."

Liu Qinghuan couldn't help but be surprised. Just as he was about to ask the second young lady about her current situation, she heard a whistling sound coming from outside, and a figure came quickly from the direction of Senluo City.

He stood up and Gu Ye hurriedly walked in. When he saw him, he showed a look of surprise: "Brother Qingmu! It's really you. I rushed over immediately after receiving Qi Gong's summons."

Turning his head, he said respectfully to the hunchbacked old man: "Seventh Duke."

The old man snorted and didn't answer.

Liu Qinghuan smiled slightly and said, "Brother Guye, long time no see."

"Why do you have time to come see me?" Gu Ye asked eagerly: "Is there any news about the Cordyceps that repairs life?"

"Yes, I got a cordyceps by chance. Thinking of what you asked me to do that year, I came to Senluo City overnight." Liu Qinghuan replied, and then said with hesitation: "I just don't know if Brother Guye still needs it. If fellow Taoist Su Luo's illness is cured, then that's all."

"No, no, no!" Gu Ye waved his hands excitedly, revealing a wry smile: "To be honest with you, fellow Taoist, I have been searching for several years, traveled all over the Netherworld, and commissioned major auction houses to help me notice, and found the shadow of Cordyceps sinensis. I’ve never seen it before. If you don’t come, I’m going to enter the Mingshan Battlefield in a few days to see if I can exchange it for my military exploits.”

If you want to find a rare elixir, sometimes you can't force it through force. Most of the time it depends on chance, not to mention that the life-repairing cordyceps is an advanced mysterious elixir.

Liu Qinghuan was surprised and said: "Why is this! Then...how is Fellow Taoist Su Luo doing now?"

Gu Ye's eyes were full of regret and he said: "I'm sorry for you, fellow Taoist. Although I can't refine the Life-Cultivation Pill, I still have some savings in Senluo City. I've been able to survive these years, but recently..."

He didn't say any more, he said sheepishly: "Brother Aoki, could you let me take a look at the Sheyuan Life-Repairing Cordyceps first?"

Liu Qinghuan looked at the drafty tea room: "Here?"

Seeing Qi Gong casting a spell without saying a word, the entire tea house was immediately enveloped in a light gray curtain of light.

Liu Qinghuan no longer hesitated, took out the treasure box again, and opened several seals.

Inside the small box was a palm-long elixir, with a golden surface and a shape like a fat and plump silkworm. It had both head and tail, curved and coiled, and it looked so energetic that it seemed alive.

Gu Ye and Qi Gong both stared intently, their expressions filled with excitement and surprise.

"Finally found it, finally found it..."

With tears in his eyes, Gu Ye bowed deeply to Liu Qinghuan: "Thank you..."

For a moment, he was speechless. He calmed down and then said: "Brother Qingmu, please travel thousands of miles to deliver the medicine. This great kindness will be remembered by the entire Senluo City! I will thank you later when I return to the city." I offer it to you, and I hope fellow Taoists won’t be dissatisfied with it!”

Liu Qinghuan smiled, closed the lid, and handed over the treasure box.

This move seemed extremely magnanimous, as if he was not worried at all about the other party not admitting his guilt after secretly taking the elixir, but it also made the two people opposite him even more fond of each other, and even Qi Gong's old face softened a lot.

Gu Ye thanked him again and said hurriedly: "I was so excited at the moment that I actually let you, fellow Taoist, stand at the wind outlet for a long time and walk around. Let's go to the city and slowly reminisce about the past."

Then he turned to the hunchbacked old man and said, "Qi Gong, let's go in first."

Qi Gong removed the protective shield, nodded and said: "Go, go, the second lady is still waiting."

The two walked out of the teahouse and flew towards the black mountain in the distance.

Liu Qinghuan looked back and couldn't help but ask: "Who is the Seventh Duke?"

Gu Ye whispered: "The origin of Qi Gong is very mysterious, but as long as I can remember, he has been guarding outside Senluo City. Although he has a weird temper, he has always loved me and Su Luo. When I was a child, my cousin and I Every time I sneak out of the city to play, when I get tired, I steal his tea cakes to eat, and I think I haven't been discovered..."

He sighed a few words and then said: "Brother Qingmu, I haven't heard from you in these years. I didn't expect that you have been promoted to the middle stage of Nascent Soul. Congratulations!"

The two of them chatted all the way, but their speed was not slow, and soon they reached the foot of the black mountain.

Gu Yeren was in high spirits at the happy event, and the lingering depression on his brows was now much lighter, but his footsteps still showed a bit of urgency.

Liu Qinghuan sighed secretly, this man was really infatuated, he would go through fire and water for a woman without any hesitation.

Senluo City is located in the middle of a mountain, and the access control is very strict. Even with Gu Ye leading them, it took the two of them some time to enter the city.

"This is my residence." Gu Ye took him into a courtyard and said, "I'm really sorry, because my cousin is almost exhausted now. If I could refine the Life-Cultivation Pill one day earlier, I would be able to suffer less. It’s been a long day, so I sent the elixir to the alchemist first, and asked Brother Aoki to rest here for a while, and I’ll be back soon.”

He also summoned a child and asked him to do his bidding.

Liu Qinghuan took stock of the environment and said with a smile, "Just go and do your work. I think your garden is quite nice. Can you take a look around?"

Gu Ye hurriedly said: "It's my honor to win Brother Qingmu's favor, please do as you please!"

How could Liu Qinghuan really wander around? It was just to test the other party's attitude. After wandering around the garden in the front yard, he found a pavilion and sat down. The child served him tea, his eyes were lowered and he fell into deep thought.

Gu Ye didn't go there for long before he turned around and brought back a small ring. He said seriously: "A small gift can't repay half of the deep friendship with my friend. Please accept it!"

Liu Qinghuan didn't show any pretense and took it with a calm expression. He casually scanned the ring and was shocked by what was in the ring.

There are hundreds of thousands of high-grade spiritual stones alone, and there are two top-grade spiritual stones. In addition, there are various precious spiritual materials divided into categories, neatly placed in the ring, and there is an open one in the middle. The basin-shaped spiritual treasure in the mouth has no function.

"This..." Liu Qinghuan said: "This, this is too precious. Although the photoyuan life-repairing Cordyceps is rare, it is not worth so much..."

Guye said sincerely: "Brother Qingmu, you once saved my life, and now you have saved my cousin's life. I feel that these are not enough."

The two declined for a long time before Liu Qinghuan finally accepted, feeling quite tired and flustered.

Gu Ye called people to prepare a banquet and said, "My cousin doesn't want to see anyone now. When she gets better, I will bring her to thank you in person."

Liu Qinghuan didn't want to ask too many personal questions, and it didn't matter whether he saw the female cultivator or not, so he didn't say much.

The two of them sat down, exchanged cups, drank to their heart's content, and casually chatted about various anecdotes about the world of immortality.

Perhaps because he had let go of his heavy burden, Gu Ye drank a lot of wine and did not use magic to suppress it. Soon he became drunk and started crying and laughing when talking about the sad things in the past.

Liu Qinghuan couldn't help but look sideways, suppressing her embarrassing emotions and trying to comfort her.

It can be seen that the other party has regarded him as a close friend. Unfortunately, he has many reservations and can only ignore this friendship.

When he was drunk, he said with drunken eyes: "Speaking of which, I have seen many beautiful female nuns, but none of them are as gorgeous and elegant as your cousin Hongshang. It's a pity that we didn't get to know each other by fate. What a pity!”

Gu Ye put the wine jar in his hand heavily on the table, with anger and pain mixed on his face, and said: "That's unfortunate. If you want to see her, I'm afraid you have to go to the Mingshan War Zone to find her."

Liu Qinghuan's heart sank: "Mingshan Battle Territory?"

"Yes." Guye couldn't help but sneered: "My cousin is amazing. Luo Tu thought she was a hindrance and threw her into the war zone more than a hundred years ago."
