Chapter 78: The idea of trying it out myself
In response to Sun Baifa's question, Bai Xiaosheng chuckled and said, "Nothing, I just happened to receive a piece of news related to the Sun Moon Sect some time ago. It is said that the Sun Moon Sect has also been investigating this kind of news recently, but in the end it seems to have been misled."
Sun Baifa asked, "Why? Do you want to give this news to Dongfang Bubai for free?"
Bai Xiaosheng nodded and said bluntly: "Let's make a good relationship! After all, the Sun Moon Divine Sect and the Yihua Palace can be said to be in charge of this southwest area. If Qinglong needs it in the future, it won't be completely helpless."
Listening to Bai Xiaosheng's words, Sun Baifa shook his head and said, "I don't know what you are thinking. Why do you have to join the Qinglong Society and become the leader to wade into this muddy water?"
Bai Xiaosheng sighed and said, "When you are in the martial arts world, you have no choice. Many things are inevitable and cannot be changed by me."
Perhaps he felt that this topic was too heavy. After pondering for a while, Sun Baifa suddenly came up and said with a smile on his face: "What was the news about the Sun Moon Cult before? How about telling me?"
Bai Xiaosheng glanced at Sun Baifa and said, "Give me back my clothes first. They are leaking."
Sun Baifa said unhappily, "You are a martial artist at the Grandmaster level. It's okay even if you don't wear clothes. Why are you afraid of air leaking out?"
Bai Xiaosheng: "The key is that your clothes are rotten. I've played with you for a whole night, it's enough!"
Sun Baifa stiffened his neck and said, "We are from the same school, so what's wrong with me wearing your clothes? Believe it or not, I will publicize your nickname. If people in the martial arts world knew that Bai Xiaosheng was called Goudan when he was a child, do you think anyone would still want to be on your lists?"
Bai Xiaosheng's expression darkened and he said, "Mr. Sun, don't force me to do anything!"
Sun Baifa glared, then slammed the pipe in his hand on the table and said loudly: "Ah, you are really angry, right? Practice? Take off your clothes and practice with your bare chest?"
A moment later, in the sight of passers-by, two white-haired old men were wrestling with each other like two children in front of the fortune-telling stall. One of them even bit the other's butt, while the other punched the other's lower back.
The tragic scene caused passers-by to avoid it.
…
On the other side, as Chu Qinghe and his companions walked through the street, Qu Feiyan asked, "Sir, what did you mean when you said that the old man in the corner was smoking a pipe for the first time?"
Hearing this, Chu Qinghe said calmly, "The old man sitting in the corner is not sick or in pain, but he coughs every time he smokes a pipe. It's obvious that he doesn't smoke this thing often. The fortune-teller has yellow teeth and a distinct smell of tobacco oil. Moreover, the temperament of the two people is completely inconsistent with their clothes. I guess they are just changing clothes for fun."
After saying that, Chu Qinghe smiled and said, "Two old men changing clothes and playing in the middle of winter, they feel a bit like old children."
After muttering, Chu Qinghe looked at Dongfang Bubai and Yaoyue and said, "Could you feel the fluctuations in their cultivation just now?"
After hearing what Chu Qinghe said, Dongfang Bubai and Yao Yue both looked at him with doubt.
Seeing the two women's reactions, Chu Qinghe understood the situation.
"Heh! This is interesting. Even you two can't feel the problem. Does that mean the cultivation of those two old men is higher than yours?"
Dongfang Bubai frowned and asked, "What do you mean?"
Chu Qinghe said calmly: "The sound of the old man's cough was wrong. At his age, his cough should not sound like this, unless he has martial arts skills."
The human body itself is amazing. At different ages, even common behaviors such as coughing will have different characteristics.
With Chu Qinghe's medical skills, he could naturally distinguish many things clearly through some details.
The old man in the corner was probably in his seventies or eighties. When he was choked by the dry tobacco, he should have coughed with some noise, and there was also a faint hoarseness in his chest.
But when the old man coughed, his voice was strong and powerful, like that of a strong young man.
Naturally, Chu Qinghe also noticed something wrong.
As Chu Qinghe explained these differences, the four of them suddenly understood and couldn't help but feel a little surprised.
Qu Feiyan analyzed: "With Sister Dongfang and Sister Yue's strength and cultivation, they couldn't detect anything unusual. In other words, the cultivation of those two old people just now is at least in the late Grandmaster realm?"
However, as soon as Qu Feiyan finished speaking, Yao Yue shook her head and said, "If you want me to not notice anything unusual, you can only be at the Grandmaster level."
It was clearly just an explanation, but the sentence sounded full of arrogance.
Although Dongfang Bubai didn't say anything, it was obvious that he had the same idea as Yaoyue.
After a few breaths, Qu Feiyan looked at Chu Qinghe and said, "Young Master, you know that those two old masters are very powerful, so how dare you tease them?"
Chu Qinghe said nonchalantly, "Why should I be afraid? With his strength and cultivation, if he had any bad intentions, he would have done it long ago."
Then, Chu Qinghe changed the subject and said, "What's more, those two old men are so powerful, and it's rare to find masters who can be teased for free. Wouldn't it be a waste if we don't tease them?"
Seeing this, the girls were speechless.
Qu Feiyan spoke up instead: "Since those two old men are experts, is it true that the old man who told you your fortune said that you will have a very good luck in marrying a wife?"
Hearing this, Chu Qinghe rolled his eyes and said, "Why don't you go back and ask him?"
After thinking about it, Qu Feiyan shook her head and said, "Forget it then."
After all, we aren't familiar with each other. What if I really go back and make those two old men angry?
Dongfang Bubai and Yao Yue smiled as they heard the conversation between Qu Feiyan and Chu Qinghe.
However, the speaker may not have any intention, but the listener may have taken it to heart.
Thinking of what the fortune teller had just said about his good luck in marrying a wife, Dongfang Bubai and Yao Yue couldn't help but turn their eyes to Chu Qinghe.
One of them had a thoughtful look in his eyes, while the other had a hint of eagerness to try.
Obviously, at this moment, both Dongfang Bubai and Yao Yue had the idea of trying it out themselves to see how good Chu Qinghe's luck in marrying a wife could be.
However, as their thoughts flowed, the two women glanced at each other at the same time, then snorted and looked away.
Hearing the light "hum" sounds coming from both sides of his ears, Chu Qinghe couldn't help but look left and right at the two women, confused as to why the two women reacted like this when they were fine.
As the few of them returned home, it was almost the hour of Hai.
Fortunately, when I went out, the water in the iron bucket in the backyard was boiling over a low fire.
By now, the temperature is just right.
As Qu Feiyan skillfully opened the seal of the bamboo tube, the hot water in the iron bucket quickly fell from the bamboo tube into the pool, causing the temperature of the cold water stored in the pool before going out to rise rapidly.
Mist also began to swirl.
Although Qu Feiyan had taken Xiao Zhao to stroll around the courtyard during the day and had also been to the backyard, Xiao Zhao still couldn't help revealing a look of surprise on his face when he saw the misty pool.
Half a minute later, as the water temperature in the pool became suitable, Qu Feiyan began to hit the iron fan next to the well in mid-air again.
While doing this, Qu Feiyan explained to Xiao Zhao: "After releasing the water, you only need to slap this thing with your palm wind. Young Master said that you can also practice martial arts and control your internal energy."
Listening to Qu Feiyan's detailed explanation, Xiao Zhao was amazed and said, "Young Master is amazing. He can actually make these things."
Hearing Xiao Zhao's exclamation, Qu Feiyan raised her head proudly, as if Xiao Zhao was praising her at this time.
Then he patted Xiao Zhao on the shoulder and said, "Young Master, I know a lot. You will understand it later. Don't worry, follow me, and you will have a good life in the future."
In response to what Qu Feiyan said, Xiao Zhao nodded seriously.
Looking at Xiao Zhao's silly look, Qu Feiyan couldn't help but raise her hand and pinch Xiao Zhao's face.
It's plump, icy and feels great.
On the other hand, Xiao Zhao did not resist Qu Feiyan's behavior at all, but instead smiled.
With this smile, the fat on her face was squeezed out even more, and her big round eyes were curved into crescents.
Coincidentally, at this moment Chu Qinghe was also walking slowly into the backyard with a glass of wine.
It’s also funny to see the two women’s behavior at this time.
When Xiao Zhao saw Chu Qinghe approaching, he quickly greeted him, "Young Master."
Hearing this, Chu Qinghe nodded first, then raised his hand and touched Xiao Zhao's head and said, "You don't need to bow in this courtyard, just learn from this girl."
Looking at Chu Qinghe in front of him, Xiao Zhao nodded obediently and said, "Xiao Zhao knows."
After nodding, Chu Qinghe walked towards the pool.
Looking at the wine jar in Chu Qinghe's hand, Xiao Zhao asked in a low voice: "Sir, are you going to drink it later?"
Qu Feiyan said: "You can drink it, but it's also for bathing."
Xiao Zhao was surprised and asked, "Take a bath with wine? Wouldn't you smell like alcohol after taking a bath?"
Qu Feiyan smiled, then raised her sleeves and moved closer to Xiao Zhao.
At Qu Feiyan's signal, Xiao Zhao also sniffed lightly.
“Does it smell good?”
Xiao Zhao nodded and said, "It smells good, and the scent is light and elegant, and it smells good too."
Qu Feiyan smiled and said, "This is what you get from taking a bath. The young master added some special medicinal wine and some special medicines to the bath. Your body smells delicious after you take a bath."
While the two little girls were whispering, Chu Qinghe entered the low wall and poured medicinal wine and medicine into the pool. The air in the backyard was then filled with the fragrance of orchid and musk.
When seeing Chu Qinghe coming out, Qu Feiyan hurriedly added firewood to the stove under the iron barrel, readjusted the bamboo tube, and then pulled Xiao Zhao and ran towards the inner courtyard.
Half a minute later, with Qu Feiyan's half-pushing and half-cooperation, Xiao Zhao, who was full of restraint and shyness, finally entered the pool.
The moment she entered the pool, Xiao Zhao instantly felt a different kind of comfort.
Surrounded by the fragrant spring water and the warm pool water, the restraint and shyness on Xiao Zhao's face quickly dissipated.
However, just when Xiao Zhao closed his eyes and enjoyed it, a voice with a hint of resentment suddenly reached Xiao Zhao's ears.
"What did you eat before? How did you grow so big?"
The voice, which sounded faintly like crying, startled Xiao Zhao, who was completely unprepared.
When I opened my eyes and turned my head, what I saw was Qu Feiyan's face full of resentment.
Facing Qu Feiyan's question, Xiao Zhao looked puzzled.
But when Xiao Zhao noticed where Qu Feiyan was looking, he understood what Qu Feiyan meant.
After shrinking his body a little deeper into the pool, he said with red ears: "It's just, it's normal!"
Hearing what Xiao Zhao said, Qu Feiyan looked down at herself and suddenly felt a deep sense of sadness.
Beside them, seeing Qu Feiyan's depressed look at this moment, Dongfang Bubai and Yao Yue couldn't help but curl up the corners of their mouths.
Even Chu Qinghe, who was on the other side of the curtain, could imagine Qu Feiyan's depressed face while listening to the conversation of the little girl, and he felt happy in his heart.
Some things are indeed innate.
Just like Qu Feiyan’s wealth, it is like this.
Apart from anything else, the presence of a lively girl like Qu Feiyan in Chu Qinghe's yard does make it a lot more lively.
However, before Xiao Zhao could calm down from what happened with Qu Feiyan, he suddenly felt something strange in his body.
After a few breaths, feeling the sudden increase of internal energy in his body, Xiao Zhao's face changed. He looked down at the red pool of water in front of him and couldn't help but look at Qu Feiyan and asked, "This pool of water?"
Qu Feiyan, who was still depressed at the moment, glanced at Xiao Zhao's surprised expression and pouted, "Has your internal strength increased?"
Xiao Zhao nodded quickly.
Qu Feiyan explained, "It's normal. The medicinal wine and medicines that you added to the water today are to increase the strength of warriors. Sometimes they are also replaced with medicines that nourish the meridians or the body. It depends on your mood! But the taste is basically the same."
After learning about the effects of the medicinal wine and medicine that Chu Qinghe added to the pool water, Xiao Zhao's face showed more surprise than ever.
"Wouldn't it be a waste of such a precious thing?"
Qu Feiyan put the back of her head on the edge of the pool and said, "You'll get used to it after a while."
After saying that, Qu Feiyan took a few deep breaths, trying her best to clear out the trauma of being too rich.
While Qu Feiyan, Dongfang Bubai and Yao Yue were closing their eyes and enjoying the comfort of the bath room, Xiao Zhao took a deep breath, closed his eyes again, and gradually began to relax.
However, at this moment, accompanied by a strange sound, the next moment, Yao Yue, who was soaking in the pool with her eyes closed, suddenly raised her hand in a very familiar manner.
As Yao Yue raised her white arm from the water, a suction force burst out from her palm, pulling an object in the air into her hand.
Xiao Zhao turned around and saw that there was an exquisite white jade wine jug in Yao Yue's hand.
After raising her head and taking a sip of wine, Yao Yue flicked her right hand, and the wine jug fell into the hands of Dongfang Bubai on the opposite side, and then into the hands of Qu Feiyan.
After Qu Feiyan took a big sip, she handed the wine jug to Xiao Zhao.
Looking at Qu Feiyan, Xiao Zhao picked up the wine jug and took a sip.
When the wine takes a sip, the slightly cool, sweet and sour taste mixed with the aroma of the wine instantly spreads in your mouth.
This made Xiao Zhao unable to help but take another sip.
But after knowing the preciousness of this wine, Xiao Zhao still acted as he did before, with a bit of delicateness, and obviously didn't dare to drink more.
However, as the wine jug was passed around several times, and with Qu Feiyan's deliberate humility, Xiao Zhao obviously drank a little more.
With the courage emboldened by alcohol, Xiao Zhao now completely relaxed. He imitated Qu Feiyan and rested his head on the edge of the pool, letting his body float on the surface of the water, his chubby little face full of enjoyment.
At first glance, she does look somewhat similar to Qu Feiyan next to her.
However, at this moment, a special wave suddenly emerged from Dongfang Bubai's body.
The strong fluctuations even caused ripples in the pool water.
During this fluctuation, the aura in Dongfang Bubai's body was rising rapidly, and the true energy was unconsciously released from Dongfang Bubai's body and then surrounded his body.
In just a few breaths, the fluctuation of his true energy had already transformed from the middle stage of the Grandmaster Realm to the late stage of the Grandmaster Realm.
"Sister Yue is in trouble now!"
Feeling the fluctuations in Dongfang Bubai's true energy, Qu Feiyan reacted and muttered something in a low voice.
Hearing Qu Feiyan's words, Xiao Zhao was puzzled and asked, "Isn't it a good thing that Sister Dongfang has made a breakthrough? Why is Sister Yue so miserable?"
Qu Feiyan came close to Xiao Zhao and lowered her voice and said, "Sister Dongfang and Sister Yue fight all the time. Before, they were both in the middle stage of the Grandmaster Realm and their strengths were comparable. But now Sister Dongfang has made a breakthrough. As long as her strength stabilizes, she will be able to suppress Sister Yue."
Although the two women spoke in low voices, to Yao Yue, Dongfang Bubai and even Chu Qinghe, these words were no different from being spoken into their ears.
Therefore, after listening to Qu Feiyan's words, Yao Yue's expression became even more gloomy.
After a moment, as the true energy in Dongfang Bubai's body calmed down, Dongfang Bubai looked at Yao Yue first, and the corners of his mouth suddenly curved up.
Faced with Dongfang Bubai's provocative smile, Yao Yue's face became even gloomier.
Taking in Yao Yue's expression, Dongfang Bubai felt filled with joy.
As a warrior's cultivation level increases, the difficulty of each upgrade increases exponentially.
Even at the Innate Realm, for many warriors, it may take decades before they can make a breakthrough, let alone the Grandmaster Realm.
Normally speaking, even with Dongfang Bubai's talent, it would take at least several years for him to make a breakthrough and enter the late stage of the Grandmaster realm.
However, during the time that Chu Qinghe was in this courtyard, the Purple Jade Mandragora incense improved his qualifications, various medicinal wines were constantly consumed, and the hidden injuries in his body were cured, which actually greatly shortened the time for Dongfang Bubai to break through.
If he continues to progress in this way, Dongfang Bubai is even confident that he can reach the Grand Master level within a few years.
Thinking of this, Dongfang Bubai's smile couldn't help but become even more intense.
