Chapter 80: Polite, but not much
On the eleventh day of the twelfth lunar month, it is a good time to clean and everything will go smoothly.
After several days of heavy snow, the sky finally cleared up today.
Although it was only the beginning of the morning hour, the sunlight had already broken through the clouds and landed on the earth.
As the sun fell on Chu Qinghe's courtyard, the white snow that originally covered the entire garden gradually melted. As the snow melted, it was impossible to tell whether the snow hanging on the branches and plants in the courtyard was morning dew or snow.
It was not until three quarters past three in the morning that Dongfang Bubai and Yao Yue stepped out of the room one after another.
When they saw each other, Yao Yue and Dongfang Bubai hesitated for a few breaths, and today Yao Yue was the first to speak: "Good morning!"
Hearing this, Dongfang Bubai nodded slightly and responded: "Good morning!"
However, right after responding, the two women snorted coldly.
Obviously, after spending nearly a month together, the relationship between the two women has changed to some extent.
Just like now.
Polite, but not much.
After everyone finished washing up, Dongfang Bubai stood first in the southeast corner of the yard where the sun was shining.
Seeing this, Yao Yue, who had also finished washing up, narrowed her eyes and said, "This is my seat , make way."
Dongfang Bubai glanced at Yao Yue and said, "This leader will give you a chance to reorganize your words."
Hearing the strong confidence in Dongfang Bubai's words, Yao Yue said coldly: "Get out of the way."
Dongfang Bubai sneered and said, "It seems that some people are not clear-headed enough this early in the morning and cannot understand the current situation."
Knowing that Dongfang Bubai was referring to her breakthrough last night, Yao Yue said without fear: "So what if your cultivation level has broken through first? It's just a small realm, do you think I haven't encountered it before?"
Dongfang Bubai said disdainfully: "Do you think I am one of those good-for-nothings? You are only in a small realm, but you are so arrogant. How about giving it a try?"
Yao Yue's face darkened at first. "Are you afraid?"
Dongfang Bubai raised his face and said, "Since you are unwilling to take the step I gave you, then don't do it."
As the voice fell, Dongfang Bubai had already crossed several feet and appeared in front of Yao Yue in an instant as if teleporting.
The speed is so fast that it is at least 30% faster than before the breakthrough.
Even Yao Yue felt a little overwhelmed.
Facing the aggressive and extremely fast Dongfang Bubai, Yao Yue did not dare The true energy in her body burst out from her body in an instant and surrounded her entire body.
With both palms flipped down at the same time, the powerful thrust made Dongfang Bubai feel the stagnant feeling like water once again.
But after more than a hundred battles of varying sizes in the past month, Dongfang Bubai already knew Yao Yue's "Yihua Jieyu" by heart.
Almost at the moment he sensed the thrust brought by Yaoyue's "Transferring Flowers and Jade", he retreated like a dragonfly touching the water, and his body had already circled to Yaoyue's right side.
As he raised his palm, the true energy in his hand and the power of this palm were constantly compressed and condensed at this moment.
As the palm was waved, the repulsive force created by Yao Yue's true Qi and special palm power in the surroundings was easily broken like tofu.
However, before Dongfang Bubai could advance again, Yao Yue snorted coldly and waved his hands repeatedly.
While moving , Dongfang Bubai also felt that the repulsive force around him turned into waves and surged towards him one after another.
At the same time, from these repulsive forces, the feeling of stagnation in the past also began to change again.
If the special force created by Yao Yue's "Transferring Flowers and Jade" previously made Dongfang Bubai feel stagnant, then now, it makes Dongfang Bubai feel as if he is in a mud pond, and the feeling of obstruction all around has increased.
In response to this, Dongfang Bubai frowned and suddenly turned sideways.
"You have made a breakthrough in "Transferring Flowers and Jade"?"
Listening to what Dongfang Bubai said, Yao Yue raised her lips and said, "Do you think you are the only one who has improved?"
After nearly a month of fighting, and against an equally powerful opponent like Dongfang Bubai, under the pressure from Dongfang Bubai, although Yao Yue's cultivation level remained unchanged, her mastery of the martial art "Yihua Jieyu" has successfully advanced from the original "familiarity" to the realm of "comprehensive mastery".
Looking at Yao Yue's smug expression, Dongfang Bubai cursed inwardly.
However, when looking at Yao Yue, Dongfang Bubai's eyes became more and more unfriendly.
Although it's just a difference in level, as a mid-level heavenly martial art, the improvement in Yao Yue's strength can be imagined.
It is even greater than Dongfang Bubai's breakthrough in cultivation.
After all, with the help of Chu Qinghe and other things, Yao Yue's own cultivation has reached the critical point of breakthrough.
Coupled with the improvement in martial arts at this time, the two added together made it obvious that he was better than Dongfang Bubai.
Once Yao Yue's cultivation level breaks through, Dongfang Bubai will know that his own strength will be weaker than Yao Yue's.
By then, when facing Yao Yue again, I am afraid that Dongfang Bubai will inevitably fall into a passive position.
Therefore, Dongfang Bubai also knew it at this time.
For Dongfang Bubai at the moment, the only way to "beat this" is to take advantage of the fact that Yao Yue's cultivation has not yet broken through to the late Grandmaster level and find a way to satisfy his urge.
Even more so, while Yao Yue's strength has not yet broken through, he should first adapt to Yao Yue's "Transferring Flowers and Jade" which has become more powerful.
With this thought in mind, Dongfang Bubai stopped talking nonsense. With the burst of true energy, he turned into a ghost and rushed towards Yao Yue.
On the other hand, Yao Yue had just made a breakthrough in martial arts and his confidence was skyrocketing.
Facing Dongfang Bubai who was rushing towards him, he took the initiative to meet him.
Suddenly, in the early morning sun, as the two women fought, Dongfang Bubai flashed above Yao Yue's head.
His feet left a trail of afterimages like heavy rain as he stepped on Yao Yue from top to bottom.
On the other hand, Yao Yue slapped her palms quickly into the air, and as she moved, her hands left traces of residual true energy.
The sun was shining brightly, and before they knew it, the two women in the yard were covered in a layer of golden light.
Combined with the heroic and beautiful faces of the two women at this moment, it must be as beautiful as a painting.
If someone were to write this picture on paper at this moment, it should be named "The Picture of the Eastern Stepping on the Moon".
As the two women fought , waves spread rapidly, scaring off the remaining snow on the trees and making the early morning noisy.
In the room, facing the faint noise coming from outside, Qu Feiyan, who was still sleepy after drinking too much last night, smacked his lips, twisted his body, then put his legs on Xiao Zhao and continued to sleep.
Faced with the extra weight on his body, Xiao Zhao, who was still holding the pillow in his arms, turned his head slightly, opened his eyes, looked at Qu Feiyan in front of him, then closed his eyes again and continued to sleep.
The end of Chen hour.
After walking out of the room, I smelled the cool air outside, and the drowsiness that remained in my body when I just got up was quickly dispelled by the coolness.
When his eyes swept towards the courtyard, seeing Yao Yue smiling in the training room and Dongfang Bubai with a cold face, Chu Qinghe knew the result of the previous battle.
Although he was not strong enough, Chu Qinghe just watched lonely every time Dongfang Bubai and Yao Yue fought.
But at least he was observant and could easily tell who would win between the two women.
After finishing breakfast, Chu Qinghe also entered the room.
When he came out again, Chu Qinghe had an extra herb and a packet of medicine powder in his hand.
The herb looks palm-sized and has eight leaves. Each leaf has some special patterns on it. At a glance, it looks somewhat similar to a human heart.
Moreover, most of the herbs are red, and their rhizomes actually look like leaves.
It was the Nine-Leaf Nine-Heart Grass that I got when I signed in last night.
Seeing what was in Chu Qinghe's hand, the women in the courtyard almost immediately turned their eyes over.
Especially Qu Feiyan, Dongfang Bubai and Yao Yue.
After spending a long time together, the three women all knew that whenever Chu Qinghe took out something new, it must be something extraordinary.
Therefore, when approaching Chu Qinghe and looking at the herbs Chu Qinghe was processing, Qu Feiyan asked, "Sir, what is this?"
"Nine-leaf, nine-heart grass."
Qu Feiyan asked in confusion: "What kind of medicine is this? I've never heard of it before?"
Chu Qinghe said unhappily, "You speak as if you know a lot."
Later, when Dongfang Bubai and the other girls came closer, Chu Qinghe said while processing the herb: "This herb is special. It grows near volcanoes. The nine lines on the leaves outline its shape like a heart, so it is called Nine Heart Grass. It has a strong medicinal property and is slightly poisonous. Every ten years, it grows one more leaf, and its toxicity doubles. Many people like to use this thing to make poison."
Qu Feiyan said: "So, sir, you are making poison again?"
Chu Qinghe said calmly: "If it is really used to make poison, it would be a waste."
Chu Qinghe said slowly: "Before the Nine Heart Grass grows nine leaves, it is extremely toxic and suitable for making poisons. Especially when it grows the eighth leaf, the poison of the Nine Heart Grass reaches its peak. At this time, the Nine Heart Grass has the effect of killing people instantly."
“But everything has its limits. When the ninth leaf of the Nine Heart Grass grows out, all the toxicity disappears. Not only is there no toxicity in the entire Nine Heart Grass, but it also produces some special effects.”
"After mixing with the corresponding medicine, it can directly improve the warrior's cultivation to a higher level."
After Chu Qinghe's explanation, several people immediately grasped the key points.
Dongfang Bubai couldn't help but ask, "Can this item raise a warrior's cultivation level?"
Chu Qinghe nodded and said, "Not bad!"
After learning about the effects of the Nine-Leaf Nine-Heart Grass, the women all gasped.
Especially Dongfang Bubai and Yao Yue who were standing aside, their eyes gleamed when they saw the herbs in Chu Qinghe's hand.
Compared to last night's Acacia Linglong Grass, this Nine-Leaf Nine-Heart Grass is relatively simple to deal with.
After asking Qu Feiyan to get a pot of wine from the wine room, Chu Qinghe put all the prepared medicine into the wine and then shook it slowly.
At this time , Qu Feiyan said, "Sir, why don't you make this thing into pills like the Acacia Linglong Grass last night, but soak it in wine instead?"
Facing Qu Feiyan's question, Chu Qinghe explained: "The medicinal properties of the Acacia Linglong Grass are relatively mild after being combined, so it is better to refine it directly into pills. However, the medicinal properties of the Nine-Leaf Nine-Heart Grass are strong. By brewing it with this wine, it can make the medicinal effect milder."
Different medicines have different medicinal properties and pharmacology, and the methods of taking them are naturally different. If they are not taken in the right way, the efficacy of the medicine may be reduced at best, and it may even be harmful at worst.
Naturally, Chu Qinghe would do whatever worked best.
After explaining it to Qu Feiyan and the other girls, Chu Qinghe turned to look at Yao Yue and asked, "Do you want to drink it now or wait until your cultivation level breaks through?"
Hearing Chu Qinghe's sudden question, Yao Yue was stunned for a moment.
But the next second, Yao Yue also realized what Chu Qinghe meant.
At this time, Dongfang Bubai had just made a breakthrough, and Chu Qinghe and others were only in the middle stage of the acquired realm. It was naturally a good thing to use the medicinal wine made from the Nine-Leaf Nine-Heart Grass to raise their cultivation to a higher level.
But for Yao Yue, who is at the Grandmaster level, it is difficult to make a breakthrough in cultivation.
If Yao Yue's own cultivation was about to break through, it would be a waste if she drank the wine containing the Nine-Leaf Nine-Heart Grass at this time.
After understanding the meaning of Chu Qinghe's question, Yao Yue hesitated for a moment and then said, "Wait a few days!"
Yao Yue is clear about her own situation.
In the current state, we have already reached the bottleneck, and we will be able to break through it in a few days at most.
When Chu Qinghe didn't speak just now, Yao Yue didn't think of this at first.
After realizing what was happening, given Yao Yue's intelligence, it was naturally impossible for her to rush in these few days.
Thinking of this, Yao Yue's gaze suddenly fell on Chu Qinghe who was standing beside her, and a hint of tenderness flashed in her eyes.
In the eyes of women, men who are considerate will get extra points.
Especially if the other person's attentiveness is for your own good, the extra points will naturally be higher.
Hearing this, Chu Qinghe nodded slightly, then after pouring four cups of the brewed wine, he sealed the rest of the wine in the jug.
After Chu Qinghe and Dongfang Bubai picked up the wine glasses, Qu Feiyan also impatiently picked up the remaining two wine glasses on the table carefully, and handed one of the glasses to Xiaozhao. After Xiaozhao took it, he immediately drank the wine in the glass in one gulp.
As the wine went into their mouths, in less than ten breaths, the powerful medicinal power instantly rose from the stomachs of several people and spread throughout their bodies.
And when this tremendous pressure spread, Chu Qinghe's internal energy was activated, and he was able to actively absorb and refine the medicinal power in his body, which was a rare occurrence.
As the medicinal power continued to be refined, the internal strength in Chu Qinghe's body was also increasing rapidly.
Just when the medicinal power was about to run out, the amount of internal force in Chu Qinghe's body had increased several times.
At the same time, the last meridian in Chu Qinghe's body also loosened a little under the influence of the medicine.
After a few breaths, as Chu Qinghe's internal strength increased again, the loosened bottleneck was instantly broken through by the surging internal strength in his meridians.
"Boo!"
As a sound like a water ball bursting emerged from Chu Qinghe's body, a special wave also came from Chu Qinghe's body.
Without the obstruction of the meridians, the internal energy in Chu Qinghe's body circulated a circle in just a few breaths.
Under the operation of this internal force, the internal force fluctuations in Chu Qinghe's body have transformed from the previous eighth level of the acquired realm to the ninth level of the acquired realm.
On the other hand, within Chu Qinghe's body, the internal force was rapidly flowing, and was also rapidly being condensed and purified, so that the power contained in every strand of internal force was far greater than that of the eighth level of the acquired realm.
After Chu Qinghe, Qu Feiyan and Xiao Zhao all achieved a breakthrough in their cultivation, Dongfang Bubai also achieved a successful breakthrough in his body.
The fluctuations of the true energy in his body also advanced from the late stage of the Grandmaster Realm to the perfect Grandmaster Realm.
Feeling the fluctuation of the true energy in Dongfang Bubai's body at this time, Yao Yue frowned slightly, and then looked away as if nothing had happened.
After the fluctuations of true Qi subsided, feeling the perfect true Qi of the grandmaster level in his body, even Dongfang Bubai had a satisfied smile on his face.
He had just broken through to the late Grandmaster realm yesterday. Today, thanks to Chu Qinghe's Nine-Leaf Nine-Heart Grass, he broke through to the perfect Grandmaster realm again after a day.
Entering the Grand Master realm is just around the corner.
At this point, the smile on Dongfang Bubai's face couldn't help but become even more intense.
Thinking of this, Dongfang Bubai suddenly remembered what the fortune teller had said yesterday about his good luck in having a wife.
Before this, Dongfang Bubai still thought that the fortune teller was just talking nonsense.
But combined with Dongfang Bubai's own cultivation at this time, he recalled his experiences and things that happened to him in Chu Qinghe's courtyard during this period of time.
Dongfang Bubai suddenly felt that Chu Qinghe really had some luck in marrying a wife.
Moreover, in Dongfang Bubai's opinion, this was the case even though he and Chu Qinghe had not yet confirmed their relationship.
If the relationship between the two really goes further...
Thinking of this, when Dongfang Bubai looked at Chu Qinghe, his eyes flashed with strange lights and his thoughts kept flowing.
After a while, Dongfang Bubai glanced at Yao Yue, then slowly stood up, walked to the side and closed his eyes to practice.
Dongfang Bubai had just achieved a breakthrough yesterday, so his cultivation had not yet been completely consolidated.
If left unchecked, it will inevitably affect the foundation.
Looking at Dongfang Bubai standing aside and practicing, Yao Yue had a calm look on her face.
Seeing that the two women were getting along peacefully, Chu Qinghe raised his eyebrows slightly.
After looking back and forth between Yao Yue and Dongfang Bubai for a while, he had some vague guesses.
However, at this moment, Qu Feiyan suddenly came to Chu Qinghe's side and lowered her voice and said, "Sir, Sister Dongfang has now broken through to the Grandmaster level, why doesn't Sister Yue seem to be in a hurry at all?"
Considering Qu Feiyan's influence on the two women, Dongfang Bubai's cultivation had broken through and his strength had greatly increased. It was inevitable that he would have to squeeze out Yao Yue, and Yao Yue should also be anxious.
But now, the reactions of both women were obviously a little abnormal.
Facing Qu Feiyan's question, Chu Qinghe thought for a moment and said, "It's the pride of an expert!"
At noon, the two women had already fought.
And from what Chu Qinghe saw from behind, it was obvious that Yao Yue was taking advantage.
You know, in the morning, Dongfang Bubai was superior to Yao Yue in cultivation.
In such a situation, he would suffer losses during the battle. With Dongfang Bubai's arrogant character, how could he attack Yaoyue again?
Now, I'm afraid Dongfang Bubai is also waiting for Yao Yue's cultivation to break through, and then he will get back at her.
However, in response to what Chu Qinghe said, Qu Feiyan and Xiao Zhao beside her looked puzzled.
But before the two women could continue asking questions, the next moment, a knock on the door suddenly came from the side.
