Chapter 45 Water Curtain Cave
Chapter 45 Water Curtain Cave
Fu Shaoping spent two Stone Yuan Dan to break through to the fifth level of the Body Tempering Realm. Zhou Paner did the same, but faster, taking less than two days.
There are two Shiyuan Pills left.
Zhou Pan'er refused to take it again no matter what.
Fu Shaoping spent another two days refining it.
The treasure mirror of the sea of consciousness flashed slightly.
A line of text flashes:
"Body Refining Realm: Fifth Level (7/100)"
After refining the Shiyuan Pill.
Fu Shaoping was stunned when he saw the number above.
After entering the fifth level of the Body Tempering Realm.
The effectiveness of Shi Yuan Dan was obviously reduced by more than half. It seems that the higher the realm, the more energy is required.
He originally wanted to go back home, but if he wanted to advance to the sixth level of the Body Tempering Realm before the Spring Hunt, he would need elixirs, the essence and blood of monsters, and the fate effect of the treasure book.
They came down from the guest room.
The servant in the hall saw them and immediately came forward to greet them:
"Sir, there is a guest in Room A who has been waiting for you. It just so happens that the two of them have gone out for a while. The lord asked me to tell you that if you come out and wait for him for a while, he has something important to discuss with you."
"who?"
"That gentleman is your colleague in the Hundred Households Office of Qingniu Town."
"Okay, go and inform him now."
Fu Shaoping found a private room and sat down.
My mind raced.
In the Hundred Households Office, apart from Old Zhan, the only people he interacted with were Liu Xiaoqi, Zhuo Xiaoqi, and Nie Xiaoqi from the hunting team. Could it be that one of the three of them also came to the Qingcang Inn?
Zhou Paner heard that it was someone from the Hundred Households Office.
She immediately returned to the guest room to practice alone.
Fu Shaoping waited in the private room for a while, and soon there were hurried footsteps outside. Then a handsome man opened the curtain, nodded slightly at Fu Shaoping, turned sideways, bent over and said:
"Madam, please come in."
A woman in a purple dress walked in.
But the facial features look familiar.
Fu Shaoping frowned slightly. He had never seen these two people before.
The man quickly stepped forward, moved the chair away, and let the purple-clothed woman sit down. He stood behind her, took out the Zhenwu Order from his body, and introduced himself to Fu Shaoping with a smile:
"Friend Fu, my name is Chen Shichao. I work for the Baibao Hall, but I usually sort things out in the warehouse. This is my wife, the daughter of Lord Zhuo, the head of the Baibao Hall."
No wonder it looks familiar.
It turned out to be Zhuo Xiaoqi's daughter.
Fu Shaoping nodded slightly as a greeting:
"I heard from the waiter that you have something to talk to me about?"
"Yes, yes, my wife will talk to you about this."
Chen Shichao finished speaking.
He stepped forward skillfully and poured tea and water for Madam Zhuo.
Madam Zhuo was obviously used to his service. After taking a sip of the tea, she glanced at Chen Shichao lightly. Chen Shichao immediately nodded and went outside to keep watch.
Madam Zhuo then slowly spoke:
"Fellow Daoist Fu, I found a Huosang fruit tree in Qiuli Mountain. The Huosang fruits on the tree are ripe. There are four in total. I would like to invite you and the one in your room to go with us. As for the Huosang fruits, we can divide them equally between our two teams."
Fu Shaoping narrowed his eyes dangerously.
How could the other party know about Sister Pan'er?
Seeing this, Madam Zhuo hurriedly explained:
"Fellow Daoist Fu, when you were hunting the fox demon in Cangling Mountain, my husband and I happened to pass by and saw that scene. Fellow Daoist, please don't misunderstand."
There is no wall in the world that is airtight.
It turns out that the fact that Sister Pan'er is a warrior cannot be concealed.
but.
He was originally an alchemist. He was already engaged to Sister Pan'er, so he could teach her martial arts and train her to become a warrior. This could be explained clearly:
"Madam Zhuo, I am familiar with your father, Lord Zhuo, so let me ask you directly. The Huosang fruit is a first-grade, top-grade spiritual fruit. Even if it is consumed by a person in the late stage of the Body Tempering Realm, it is a great tonic. Why did you two want to share half with us?"
We are all smart people.
There is no free lunch in the world.
Madam Zhuo sighed and said:
"Fellow Daoist Fu, to be honest, the reason why I have to ask you two to help is that there is a first-order late-stage demon beast Tunma Beast stationed at the Huosang fruit tree. My husband and I are only at the fifth level of the Body Tempering Realm. We cannot pick the Huosang fruit with our strength alone."
"Oh, then Miss Zhuo can go back to Qingniu Town and ask your father to come personally."
Bring this up.
A trace of embarrassment appeared on Mrs. Zhuo's face.
But still confessed:
"Friend Fu, you just saw that the man in my family is not presentable. It is precisely because of this that my father does not like him. If we had not made it a done deal and had a child, my father would never have agreed to this marriage even if he was beaten to death."
"My family is also disappointing"
"I have been in the Hundred Households Office for several years thanks to my father's connections, but now I am still a small town military guard. My father can't even hold his head up in front of his colleagues in the Hundred Households Office."
"This time"
"He finally detected the whereabouts of the Huosang fruit, and wanted to take this opportunity to break through to the sixth level of the Body Tempering Realm in one fell swoop, and then in the spring..."
Mrs. Zhuo stopped talking halfway.
He immediately realized that he had let something slip and quickly covered it with his hand.
Fu Shaoping found it funny.
At first I thought Mrs. Zhuo was aloof, but after starting a conversation, I found her to be naive and a little silly.
If what the other party said is true.
Fu Shaoping was willing to cooperate:
"Madam Zhuo, you just said that it was your husband who detected it. Have you ever seen with your own eyes that there is a Huosang fruit tree in the Water Curtain Cave?"
"Absolutely true!"
Madam Zhuo and her husband took a look and felt that they could not pick the Huosang fruit together, so they turned back to find a partner. It just so happened that Fu Shaoping was familiar with his father and was from Qingniu Town, which added a bit of security:
"Once the Huosang fruit is ripe, it must be picked within ten days, otherwise the medicinal effect will be greatly reduced. Fellow Daoist Fu, we only have three days left!"
"Mrs. Zhuo, please wait for a moment. I will go back and ask Sister Pan'er what she thinks."
Fu Shaoping didn't waste time either.
He immediately left the private room and went straight to his guest room.
After Fu Shaoping explained the whole story to Zhou Paner, Zhou Paner nodded and said:
"Such a good opportunity cannot be missed, Shao Ping, let's team up with them."
She originally didn't want to show up in front of Fu Shaoping's colleagues.
but.
Thinking that they will get married after the New Year, they will have to attend social events. In that case, there is nothing to hide.
The four hit it off immediately.
They immediately drove a horse-drawn carriage to Yuyang Canyon.
The two people guarding Yuyang Canyon.
Seeing Fu Shaoping leave and come back, he couldn't help but shake his head.
it's here.
He had seen many arrogant young people. Without the protection of their elders, there was a high probability that they would not be able to get out of the Baiwan Mountains. He had persuaded them and had fulfilled his duty. After reading the hunting permit, he immediately let the young people pass.
The four men parked the carriage at the entrance of Yuyang Canyon.
Next, walk to Qiuli Mountain.
Qiuli Mountain is in the north.
It is dozens of miles further ahead than Cangling Mountain.
When she heard the sound of a waterfall, Madam Zhuo said:
"Across the hill ahead is the Water Curtain Cave of the Tunma Beast."
