Chapter 36: What Zhang Qingxiao wants to maintain

"Xiao Hua..." Zhang Qingxiao looked at Xiao Hua with a complicated expression, and his tone was a little chilled: "Master, senior brother and others didn't pay attention to you, but... I was by your side just now. I wanted to secretly explain the master's magic tricks and actions to you. Who would have thought... even the second brother of the tenth level of Qi Refining can't understand this magic trick. You just saw it the first level of Qi Refining. Can you get something with your fingers... imitate it?"

Xiao Hua was a little shocked just now and only focused on Xiao Yuehong's magic tricks, but he didn't notice that his abnormality was actually seen by Zhang Qingxiao.

Xiao Hua was about to speak, and Zhang Qingxiao shook his head slightly: "Xiao Hua, since the Wandu Sect attacked me, Shang Huaming Formation last time, you... seem to have changed like a different person. The whole person has changed a lot from the past three years. Could it be that you... have been taken over by others?"

Xiao Hua smiled bitterly on his face: "Second Brother, you are so funny. I am just a kid who refines the Qi. If someone takes over the body, will he not go to you? Instead, he will come to me?"

"Bah~" Zhang Qingxiao spitted on the ground: "Who knows? Maybe you were taken over three years ago?"

"Oh, this... I don't know either..." Xiao Hua shook his head sadly: "It's been three years, and I have no impression of all my past!"

"Then think about it again!" Zhang Qingxiao said meaningfully: "But there is one thing I can tell you that the last time you discovered the small cave of Sheyuanguo... I have never been to it, but today, I seemed to have crawled into this cave when I was a child... There seemed to be no spiritual herbs inside!"

Zhang Qingxiao used two "seems" in a row, and his tone was not sure.

"Second Brother..." Xiao Hua smiled bitterly again, and was about to defend himself, but Zhang Qingxiao waved his hand to stop him: "This Shang Huaming, Huanghualing is where I grew up. Master, senior brother and sister are also the closest people in the world. I... will never let them hurt you, no matter who... As long as I dare to hurt them, even if I go up to the Nine Heavens and the Nine Wests, even if I fall into the Demonic Way, the Ghost Way will never forgive him!!!"

Speaking of this, a sharp look flashed in Zhang Qingxiao's eyes, and he swept over Xiao Hua coldly.

This sounded cold, but Xiao Hua felt warm in his heart. He said calmly: "Second Brother, although I don't know where I came from, I can't remember all the past. But after living in Huanghualing for three years, I know how good my master and my senior brother are to me, especially when I went out this time, I felt my family affection. These three years are like you of the second senior brother for more than 20 years. Since the second senior brother has the intention to protect Shang Huaming, how can I not? If it weren't for... I thought of Shang Huaming, how could God be moved? How could I find the spiritual grass in a secret place?"

"And these Peiyuan Dan refined by spiritual herbs, hehe, second brother, don't you need to take it?"

"Hehe~" Zhang Qingxiao's eyes turned, and immediately changed his face. He reached out and hugged Xiao Hua's shoulders that almost raised his head in his arms. He smiled and said, "Good junior brother, the second senior brother was just testing you just now. You took out the rare spiritual herbs. Even if it was a detailed work of other schools, the sacrifice was really great. The second senior brother would not care about you when you contributed the Peiyuan Pill!"

Seeing that Zhang Qingxiao had returned to his usual hipster smile, Xiao Hua looked relaxed, but he was absolutely not relaxed. He knew that what the second senior brother said just now was not empty words or temptation, but he himself did not have any intention of Shang Huaming, so naturally he was not afraid of what he called temptation.

"The head of the sect has agreed. As long as I find Zhewucao, half of this Peiyuan Dan belongs to me. Don't snatch it with me then!" Xiao Hua said with a smile.

"All right, junior brother, look at your stingy look, do you think your senior brother cares about your Peiyuan Pill?" Zhang Qingxiao laughed and said, "Peyuan Pill is a pill that I have taken with you. I'm afraid it's not very effective!"

"Oh? Why is this?" Xiao Hua was a little surprised.

Zhang Qingxiao glanced at him and muttered, "I don't know this? It seems that he is not an undercover agent!"

Then, he explained: "The most essential thing about improving the realm is to improve the cultivation level. The realm can be understood by the help of elixirs at various stages. Of course, relying on elixirs to break through the realm has both advantages and disadvantages. The advantage is that it can reduce the time of cultivation and use rare elixirs to achieve the hard work that has been in ten or even decades of dying. The disadvantage is that a elixir is only useful for one realm, and it will have no effect after taking it multiple times. Moreover, the magic power obtained by taking elixirs is not practiced by oneself after all, and it will have some impact on the use and future practice."

"These influences may not be obvious when they are at low level cultivation. They can only be manifested when they reach the higher level!" Zhang Qingxiao smiled bitterly: "But... how many people can achieve the high level cultivation? So this elixir has long become the main means to break through the realm! Otherwise... the Baicao Sect would not be so popular!"

Zhang Qingxiao mentioned Baicaomen for no reason and bit his teeth tightly.

Xiao Hua was nervous and said anxiously: "Since you have taken Peiyuan Pill, then... the pills refined by the leader, you have taken them, second brother, will it be useless?"

Seeing Xiao Hua anxious, Zhang Qingxiao was a little ashamed of his guess just now and patted Xiao Hua on the shoulder and said, "It's okay. In the past, we Shang Huaming was squeezing the Peiyuan Pills we gave you were squeezed out from our teeth. We have practiced for so many years, so where can we take enough Peiyuan Pills? One or two Peiyuan Pills were exchanged from Yishi, and the quality was greatly reduced, which had little impact on the improvement of the realm. It was precisely because we had taken inferior Peiyuan Pills before that, this time, the master went deep into Huanghualing to refine a better quality Peiyuan Pill to help you and me improve your realm!"

"That's good~" Xiao Hua breathed a sigh of relief. He finally found an excuse to take out all the spirit herbs. If it was useless, wouldn't it be annoying?

"It's you, Xiao Hua, you have just refined the Qi level. If you take the Peiyuan Pill refined by your master, if you want to improve your cultivation in the future by relying on pills, it will be troublesome. You have to use a better quality than Peiyuan Pill!" Zhang Qingxiao reminded with concern: "If it were me, I would have to think about it!"

"Senior Brother Xie Er reminded me." Xiao Hua smiled and said, "I am so big, I'm still a level of Qi refining. How many levels do you think I can cultivate to?"

"Haha, just pretend I didn't say it, Xiao Hua~" Zhang Qingxiao smiled apologetically, looked at the stable alchemy furnace on the ground fire, and said, "Look, the alchemy furnace is really boring. I, the elder brother and junior sister, are not good at it. By the way, when you go out, will the master give you a message talisman?"

"Yes, none of those masters Huang Fu wanted to leave, saying they were rewarded!"

"That's good, you can keep it there. If there is anything wrong, please inform the master immediately!"

"Yes, I understand, second senior brother!" Xiao Hua said respectfully.

When Zhang Qingxiao left, Xiao Hua sat cross-legged alone, looking at the Dan Furnace, his heart was as if he was upset. For nothing else, he was just for Zhang Qingxiao's temptation just now.

"Yes, although I am a disciple who has not yet entered the school, I... but after all, I was picked up by the head of the mountain three years ago. My life experience and origin are unknown. It is not as good as the eldest and second brothers who have grown up in Huanghualing since childhood, and know their roots and bottoms." Xiao Hua thought to himself.

In the past three years, he has become accustomed to living in Shang Huaming. He has regarded Shang Huaming as his home and has never considered his past.

"Eighteen years, eighteen years, where did I spend the previous eighteen years?" Thinking of this, Xiao Hua took out the broken, snake-like small ring. This thing was the only thing he had on his body after he woke up. Maybe this snake ring was the only proof of his life experience!

"But, what is this thing...?" Xiao Hua looked at it for a long time, but couldn't figure it out.

"Forget it, forgot, it's really hard to guess this thing. It's better to stay in Shang Huaming honestly and build Shang Huaming into a big sect. Only when Shang Huaming is famous in Xi Kingdom and even the Xiaoyu Continent can I find my origin easily!" Xiao Hua didn't feel that his ambition was in his mind!

"Hehe, the second senior brother is kind-hearted. However, since I can plant the Soyuan Fruit, I can naturally plant other spiritual herbs and other elixirs? It may not be a difficult task!" Xiao Hua put the snake ring into the space and thought to himself: "However, elixir recipes and alchemy techniques are big things? If you don't understand these, how can I get the elixir? By the way, Yishi!"

Xiao Hua's eyes lit up: "I can take the spiritual grass to Yishi for elixir!"

But then Xiao Hua was frustrated again: "If my cultivation level has not improved, how dare I go to Yishi? I am afraid that I will be targeted by others and rob a completely clean one. Moreover, the elixirs on Yishi... are scarce, and it is not so easy to change. The quality is also poor, so it is better to refine them yourself!"

"When should I ask the leader to get some yellow talismans for alchemy? I want to try it. Do I really know how to refine alchemy?"

Thinking of this, Xiao Hua's hand stretched out, slashing slightly in front of him, and his ten fingers kept waving, as if he was pinching some magic tricks. However, this magic trick was entirely based on the instinct of both hands, and Xiao Hua had no memory at all, but this instinctive pinching seemed much more obscure and difficult than Xiao Yuehong's magic tricks...

Under the alchemy furnace, the green and yellow earth fire swayed up and down, and the bright stones on the stone wall were bright. In the alchemy room, only Xiao Hua's figure was pulled very long by the fire. He waved his hand slightly and threw the shadow on the stone wall behind him. Although there was no gathering of spiritual energy in the heaven and earth, the momentum and movement... just contained some obscure... deep meaning.

Alchemy is indeed boring. Except for Xiao Yuehong who came over for a fixed time, used a few tricks or made a few yellow talismans, the rest were all about facing the hot earth fire and the alchemy furnace that didn't understand the charm. Therefore, although it was agreed in advance that the four people were on the rotation, but since Xiao Hua was on duty, the people in the alchemy room have never changed again...
