Chapter 28

Days passed by, and in a blink of an eye, it was half a month.

This day, the outskirts of Qingyun Street.

In the distance was a piece of hazy darkness, while on the other side was the Huangshi City, which was like a fairyland.

Silent, ordinary rogue cultivators rarely came to this place.

"Whoosh!"

A nimble flying sword pierced through the leaves, carrying sharp sword energy, and finally nailed it fiercely on the thick tree trunk.

"Hum! Hum!"

With a crisp tremor, he saw the flying sword 'whoosh' and land in the hands of a cultivator wearing a hood and a mask.

This person was exactly Lou Qinghe.

"This Sword Controlling Technique is really magical; although it cannot be compared with the Sword Controlling Technique that kills thousands of miles away, it is already extremely rare for me at present."

Lou Qinghe stroked the Qingfeng Sword in his hand, revealing a satisfied look.

This sword was exactly the flying sword in Hou Peng's hand, which he named Qingfeng.

For half a month, Lou Qinghe rarely went to the Longmen Market to set up a stall; besides practicing at home, he was practicing sword here.

Because he practiced the Sword Controlling Technique day and night, his realm also advanced by leaps and bounds.

Lou Qinghe looked at his panel.

【Name: Lou Qinghe】

【Lifespan: 28/67】

【Cultivation: Qi Refining Level 4 (721/7200)】

【Spirit Root: Middle-Low Grade Fire Spirit Root】

【Heart Method: Shangqing Taixu Art (Second Layer 96/200)】

【Pill Dao: Huiqi Pill LV4 (16/200); Healing Pill LV2 (7/50); Spirit Gathering Pill LV3 (53/100); Quhua Pill LV2 (23/50)】

【Spells: Fire Control Technique LV5 (51/10000); Basic Evasion Technique LV4 (113/400); Yijian Sect Sword Control Technique LV5 (3/1000); Ghost Control Technique LV2 (2/200); Back-light Flying Needle LV3 (26/300)】

【Alienation level: 29%.】

【Hidden value: 99%. (Obtained proficiency 99%)】

Lou Qinghe sighed and muttered to himself: "Another year older, now it seems that standing at thirty won't be possible, I hope I don't fall."

Besides reaching twenty-eight years old, the Sword Controlling Technique had a qualitative breakthrough to LV5, and the Ghost Control Technique also reached LV2.

"Recently, I swallow a First-Grade Quhua Pill every day, and this alienation level finally dropped to 29%, but how can this hidden value be improved?"

Lou Qinghe muttered to himself.

In order to reduce his alienation level, he swallowed a First-Grade Quhua Pill every day; half a month passed, and this alienation level only dropped by one point.

According to his previous calculations, the effect of taking Quhua Pills next would be lower.

The raw materials for the Quhua Pill were extremely precious, and the output of each refining was also extremely low, coupled with swallowing a large amount of Spirit Gathering Pills every day.

The days were only going out and not coming in, and the Spirit Stones were also decreasing day by day.

Sooner or later, he would eat up his savings.

This made Lou Qinghe have a trace of anxiety in his heart, and he also made up his mind.

"There are still some pills at home, I'll go to the Baiyu Market to see tomorrow."

Then he summoned with his palm, and a pale purple ghost appeared in the distance, turning into a smoke and disappearing.

This was exactly the ghost summoned by the LV2 Ghost Control Technique.

Just now, this ghost was protecting him on the side, and would remind Lou Qinghe once a cultivator approached.

"Time to go home."

Lou Qinghe packed up his robes and mask before walking toward his home.

The sun was being entangled by thin clouds, emitting a faint, dazzling white light.

"Have you heard? Four rogue cultivators alienated on Cross Street a few days ago."

"Who doesn't know, now everyone on Cross Street is in danger, and even the Xu Family has sent experts to station there."

"This market has become unsafe, it is said that Weird objects are hidden on Cross Street."

"Keep your voice down, you can't talk nonsense, be careful that the Xu Family finds trouble with you."

On the way, Lou Qinghe heard the words of several rogue cultivators, his face didn't change, but his heart was shocked.

Cross Street!?

Wasn't that where the Zhou Family refined pills before?

Could there be any connection between them?

In just a few days, several cultivators alienated.

Lou Qinghe thought while walking toward his home.

Unknowingly, he arrived at the door, and at this time, the plump Qiao Li and Pei Siyu were chatting.

During this period, the two women had also gradually become familiar with each other.

Qiao Li was originally a rogue cultivator in a market in the east of the city; according to what she said, her husband died in the restricted area some time ago, and she moved to Qingyun Street to avoid some harassment and trouble.

Now she was helping out at the Spirit Poultry Workshop on Qingyun Street, with ten Low-grade Spirit Stones a month, but it was very hard.

The two also discovered Lou Qinghe returning from afar.

Pei Siyu's eyes were a bit evasive, and she lowered her head without speaking.

Qiao Li opened her mouth and shouted: "Yo, where did Lou Fellow Daoist go to make a fortune today?"

Lou Qinghe laughed dryly: "Just went out for a stroll."

"It's mealtime, it's time to come back."

Qiao Li looked up at the sun and said: "I really envy Lou Fellow Daoist, having nothing to do every day and having someone to serve you, this life is really good."

"Li, Li sister......"

Pei Siyu hurriedly pulled Qiao Li's sleeve.

Since the chaos in the Longmen Market half a month ago, Pei Siyu had been eating with Lou Qinghe.

Recently, when Lou Qinghe was practicing, she would also cook meals in Lou Qinghe's home.

Lou Qinghe grinned and didn't speak.

Qiao Li curled her lips and said: "I say Lou Fellow Daoist, it's not a thing to be idle every day, you always have to find some work to make a living."

"I'll see tomorrow, you guys chat, I'll go eat first."

Lou Qinghe gave a perfunctory reply and walked toward his home.

"Siyu sister, don't be deceived by men."

Seeing Lou Qinghe's back, Qiao Li exhorted: "I am a person who has come before, most men have that mouth, saying things are earth-shattering, but once they get it, they will change their hearts and reveal their true colors."

Pei Siyu's face was covered with red clouds: "Li, Li sister, I didn't."

Qiao Li looked at Pei Siyu and lowered her voice: "How could you not, I think you have been caught by that Lou Qinghe, look at him being idle every day, without a proper way to make a living, you will suffer in the future if you follow him."

"Looking at that appearance, besides being old, there is nothing."

Although Pei Siyu's face was eroded by fire poison and was not beautiful, her temper was gentle and weak, making people love her.

Qiao Li couldn't bear to see her caught by Lou Qinghe and suffer in the second half of her life.

"No, I didn't."

Pei Siyu's face flushed, and she whispered: "Others say Lou Fellow Daoist is honest and doesn't talk much."

"Honest and doesn't talk much?"

Qiao Li sneered upon hearing this: "That's when you are not familiar with men, once you are familiar, you will find that he is old and doesn't talk much truth."

Old and doesn't talk much truth......

I don't know why, but hearing Qiao Li say this, Pei Siyu almost laughed out loud.

"Most men are very fickle, you are considering the happiness of the second half of your life, but he only considers the lower half of his body."

Qiao Li opened her mouth, paused, and then said: "Actually, in this world, finding someone who can live a stable life and treat you well is also quite good, after all, if the person is gone, everything else is in vain......"

Speaking of this, Qiao Li seemed to think of sad things, and her expression was a bit dim.
