Chapter 1 What bad intentions can uncle have
Linxian City.
Because the immortals came to this city to collect immortal seedlings, over time, it became a city of casual cultivators.
Outside the city, there is an alley called Chunyu, where some small cultivators live.
Qin Yu is also one of them.
The house he lives in is not big, even simple, with just a wooden bed and a set of tables and chairs.
At this moment, Qin Yu was refining medicine in the cubicle.
"Bang!"
It was just a slight distraction, and a dull explosion burst out from the alchemy furnace in front of him, and then, a burning smell filled the air.
Qin Yu's complexion became ugly as a result. There was cold sweat on his forehead and his face was quite pale.
After all, refining medicinal liquid is a very consuming task of mental energy and one's own aura.
But at this time, what he couldn't accept the most was the pill furnace in front of him.
Although the accident just now did not cause the entire alchemy furnace to break, it did cause a few small cracks.
Although this is just a low-grade small alchemy furnace, it is still worth twenty low-grade spiritual stones!
If it weren't for this alchemy furnace, he would have had no choice but to go out and venture into the Foggy Swamp Mountains like other monks.
There is opportunity there, but it is also extremely dangerous.
Qin Yu was able to survive before, not because he was so great, but because he was too inconspicuous, and he only mined ore for refining weapons for the big shots in the city on the fringes.
This is hard work. Although you don't earn much each time, it is more stable and less likely to be coveted.
As for this alchemy furnace, Qin Yu spent five and a half years digging to get enough!
Now that the alchemy furnace is damaged, where can he collect another twenty spiritual stones to buy another alchemy furnace? !
"Alas!..."
After a long time, a long sigh came from Qin Yu's mouth.
It’s time to accept your fate!
When he first traveled to this world, he thought that he was not a thing in the pool, but unexpectedly, when he was tested in the Immortal Sect's selection of immortal seedlings, he was only a low-grade mortal bone and was not even qualified to become a servant disciple of the Immortal Sect.
It was a big blow to him at that time, but he didn't want to give up, so he stayed in Linxian City.
Now, he is over thirty years old!
After so many years of hard work, he is just a young monk at the second level of Qi Refining.
Looking at the cracks on the alchemy furnace, he was in a daze and even felt that it was fate laughing at him.
"That's okay!"
"It's better to escape into the world, marry a wife and take concubines, and spend the rest of your life!"
Thinking of this, Qin Yu suddenly felt relaxed.
In recent years, there are some monks in Chunyu Alley who have chosen this way. Although they are inconspicuous existences in this city of casual cultivators, they are also high-ranking immortal masters in the world!
It is also a happy thing to have several wives and concubines and watch the prosperity of the world.
After thinking about it, Qin Yu didn't even clean up the medicinal waste residue in the alchemy furnace. He walked out of the compartment and lay down on the only wooden bed in the room.
Closing his eyes, he saw the flame again.
Ever since he became a monk and awakened his spiritual power, he could see it almost every time he closed his eyes.
It was probably in the chest position, flickering on and off, like a candle in the wind.
It looks so inconspicuous, like a candle that has run out of fuel. It seems that you can extinguish it with a casual blow.
In other words, it is because of the lack of fuel that it is like a candle.
It was the appearance of this flame that brought Qin Yu into this world, and it was also the reason why he could persist for thirty years.
After a moment of concentration, he saw some information on the flames...
[Fire value: 0]
[Cultivation: Qi Refining Level 2 (18%)]
[Root bone: low-grade mortal bone (fire value 0/10)]
[Spiritual Power: Getting Started (Fire Value 0/10)]
The fire value is still zero.
The progress of the realm can be seen at a glance. This progress took Qin Yu seven years!
How many more seven years does he have left?
Even if it takes another thirty or forty years to barely break through to the third level of Qi Refining, his destiny and his life will not be greatly improved.
Root bones and spiritual power are also easy to understand. The most important information on this fire is... the fire value!
Obviously, only by obtaining the fire value can the root bones and spiritual power be improved.
Over the years, Qin Yu has tried many methods but failed to obtain the so-called fire value.
He thought it was related to fire, and he also thought about collecting flames, and even tried to use spirit stones... but he still failed to obtain even a little fire value.
This is the most despairing thing.
It seems to give you hope, but no matter how hard you try, it doesn't work.
After taking another last look, perhaps because refining the medicine consumed too much mental energy, Qin Yu quickly fell asleep.
The next day.
After waking up, Qin Yu first counted some valuable items.
There are still thirteen healing medicinal materials, five refined ordinary medicinal liquids, six low-grade spiritual stones, a half-used pill furnace, two life-saving talismans, and some coins.
This is all the savings he has saved over the years!
Although he had awakened his spiritual power and could make medicinal liquids, his talent in spiritual power was only mediocre, and he was despised even when he went to the apothecary shop to be an apprentice.
It's not miserable.
Because no one taught him how to refine medicine, Qin Yu had to figure it out on his own. Therefore, he often refined medicinal materials into waste. After a year, he could earn no more spiritual stones than mining, which was only seven or eight. It's just a low-grade spiritual stone.
It's just better than not having to go out and it's safer.
Although the house in Chunyu Lane does not look like much, it was built by the Immortal Sect. Destroying the house is tantamount to provoking the Immortal Sect.
Naturally, the rent is not cheap.
Five low-grade spiritual stones a year is equivalent to the fee paid to the Immortal Sect for protection.
In addition to the few spiritual stones used in daily practice, naturally there is not much left.
In fact, it was Qin Yu who used some spirit stones in his cultivation, so he had the cultivation level of the second level of Qi Refining. Otherwise, with only low-grade mortal bones, he would still be wandering around the first level of Qi Refining.
After putting things in order, Qin Yu did not rush to open the door, but first observed the situation outside from the window.
The main thing is to be cautious.
He has formed a habit.
Although there is security inside the house, the same cannot be said for the alley outside.
After just one glance, Qin Yu was startled.
On the road next door, things were scattered on the ground, including clothes and some debris, as if someone had randomly thrown them out of the house.
Beside the scattered things, there were two graceful figures, one tall and one short.
"Lin Qianqian!"
"Lin Shuishui!"
The two girls Qin Yu knew each other. They were a pair of sisters who lived next door to him. Their father was a monk at the fourth level of Qi Refining. Looking at the situation outside, it seems like something happened to their family.
Qin Yu opened a window and listened carefully to what was going on outside.
It turned out that the father of these two sisters had an accident six months ago. Now, after losing their father, they could not afford the rent, so they were kicked out of the house by the law enforcement team.
Her sister Lin Qianqian, who looked to be only twenty-eight years old, although she seemed strong, her eyes inadvertently showed deep fear and despair. It was obvious that she was just pretending to be calm.
Next to her, her younger sister Lin Shuishui was just like a frightened kitten. Her small body curled up behind her sister, her little hands tightly grasping the only support, and she did not even dare to look at those The cold law enforcers meet each other, fearing that one glance will lead to the endless abyss.
Without their father, who was their mainstay, and without the shelter of their house, the sisters seemed like helpless lambs in the storm.
All around, although there were windows slightly opened, revealing a few rays of indifferent light, no one was willing to lend a helping hand to the sisters.
This situation is like a sad and cruel picture, telling the harshness of the world and the indifference of human relationships.
but.
Those who live in the alleys outside the city are living a tight life. Any monk who has the ability has already moved to the city.
Moreover, for every additional person in the house, two more low-grade spiritual stones need to be paid every year!
If you take them in, you will have to pay four more spiritual stones in a year.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
The father of the Lin sisters chose to take risks precisely because he wanted to earn enough spiritual stones.
When the law enforcement team members gradually moved away, the prying eyes around them quietly closed their windows. In the darkness, there were a few greedy and obscure eyes, quietly locked on the two sisters.
They are all people from Chunyu Lane, and they all know that although their elder sister Lin Qianqian is a mortal with no bones, their younger sister Lin Shuishui possesses middle-grade mortal bones.
Although it is not high, it will not be a problem to become a monk in the future.
Such a girl would be worth a lot of spiritual stones if she were kidnapped and sold to a flower shop in the city.
Although Lin Shuishui was unaware of the situation she was about to face, being driven out of the house just now made her feel strongly uneasy. She clung to her sister's side, her little hands unconsciously clenching Lin Qianqian's. Her voice was as thin as silk, but it could not hide the trembling and confusion in it. Every word seemed to be squeezed out from the softest place in her heart, with endless dependence and helplessness: "Sister... I... I'm afraid …”
"Don't be afraid, my sister is here."
Lin Qianqian bit her lip lightly and glanced across the rows of staggered window lattice. She seemed to have noticed something. Although her heart was trembling, she still pretended to be calm.
"Crunch."
The door next to him was opened and Qin Yu walked out of the room. The eyes of the two sisters immediately fell on him.
Because they are neighbors, even if they don’t move around much, they are still considered acquaintances. However, Qin Yu is helpless about their current situation.
He was just a monk at the second level of Qi Refining. How could he protect the sisters? He would only get into trouble. If he took them away together, he might not even be able to get out of this alley.
However, just when he took a look and was about to leave...
[Emotional value +1 from Lin Qianqian]
[Fire value: 1]
"???"
Immediately, Qin Yu's footsteps paused, and a look of deep astonishment and disbelief appeared in his eyes.
What's going on? !
He thought he had seen it wrong.
Take a closer look...
[Fire value: 1]
[Lin Qianqian’s love value: 1 (first acquaintance)]
[Cultivation: Qi Refining Level 2 (18%)]
[Root bone: low-grade mortal bone (fire value 1/10)]
[Spiritual Power: Getting Started (Fire Value 1/10)]
The fire value has really increased!
Thirty years!
A whole thirty years!
Qin Yu didn't know how many attempts he made, and it was true that he had met Lin Qianqian during this period, but he didn't get any fire points at all!
How could it be at this time...
Qin Yu looked at Lin Qianqian.
He was a little puzzled. Lin Qianqian was just an ordinary person without any cultivation skills, but Lin Shuishui had the skills... Could it be that the fire value did not depend on the skills and cultivation level?
What is the reason?
At this time, Lin Qianqian was already picking up the things scattered on the ground with her sister.
"Qianqian, what happened?"
Lin Qianqian raised her head when she heard his voice.
Qin Yu is also a well-known person in Chunyu Lane.
The impression given to outsiders is that he is timid and timid. He always smiles when he sees him. He is never seen arguing with others or competing for benefits.
Occasionally when I pass by, I see Lin Shuishui lying on the window sill and hand me a bunch of candied haws.
Therefore, the two sisters had a pretty good impression of him, and Lin Qianqian's mood gradually relaxed from the extreme tension and fear when he opened the door just now.
"Uncle Qin..."
There was a hint of trembling in Lin Qianqian's voice, her mouth opened slightly, her eyes were filled with crystal tears, and there was an indescribable emptiness in her eyes.
Although she is still a twenty-eight-year-old girl, she is also aware of the cruelty of this world. Losing the protection of his father and wandering away with a sister with mortal bones, one can imagine the fate.
"Qianqian, my condolences."
Qin Yu sighed softly. Over the years he has lived here, he has seen many such things. He lowered his body, helped pick up things, and asked with concern, "What are your sisters' plans for the future?"
Lin Qianqian shook her head slightly and pursed her lips. Thinking of the fate of herself and her sister, her whole body exuded an aura of despair.
At this time, Qin Yu took a closer look at the sisters.
Lin Qianqian was wearing a coarse cloth and plain clothes, her hair was simply tied back, her long eyelashes were trembling slightly, her eyes were covered with a layer of light mist, her red lips were gently bitten by her teeth, and she lost her sight. The old blood color added a bit of endearing paleness.
Although the plain clothes on her body were wide, they still could not hide her tall and straight chest. Her figure was slim, her legs were slender, and her temperament was elegant, as if a white cloud was coming out of her head.
Next to her, her sister Lin Shuishui was wearing a lavender dress, her dark eyes looked very smart, her skin was rosy, and her face looked a little childish, but it could be seen from her brows that this It's a little beauty embryo.
Moreover, she possesses middle-grade mortal bones and can become a female monk in the future. In the eyes of mortals, she will be a high-ranking fairy.
After helping them pack their things, when the two sisters were about to leave, Qin Yu hesitated a little and said, "Qianqian, why don't you... why don't you stay at my place for the time being?"
He wanted to know how he got that little fire value.
When he was helping to pack things just now, he deliberately approached Lin Qianqian, but his fire level did not increase, and he didn't know why.
However, it is certain that Lin Qianqian can increase the fire level, but in the future...
Now that we are living together, try a few more times.
Lin Qianqian didn't seem to react for a moment. It wasn't until Qin Yu spoke again that she came back to her senses and looked at the man in front of her, her expression slightly changing.
Although Qin Yu is still over thirty years old, he is a monk after all, and he still looks quite young. He has good looks and is tall, so he can be considered tall and handsome.
However, although he said it tactfully, Lin Qianqian immediately understood something just by looking at his slightly warm eyes.
"Uncle Qin, I..."
She was about to refuse, but suddenly she looked at the window with a crack open at one side. The cold eyes in the crack made her delicate body tremble, and she swallowed the words of rejection alive.
She knew very well what she and her sister would encounter after walking out of this alley!
Although Qin Yu in front of him might have impure thoughts, Lin Qianqian was still a little tempted when thinking of his father's evaluation of him.
Qin Yu is one of the few...'good people'.
"Don't worry, uncle can have any bad intentions. He just wants your sisters to have a shelter from the wind and rain."
Qin Yu said this with a hint of 'kind' smile.
