Rebellious Contract Beast

On the rugged mountain trails, walking for a long time will only make your feet feel sore and painful. Seeing that Chu Yun has a pure level of cultivation, Tsurushi doesn't think it's a problem. Such a road is like walking on flat ground for her, so She walked very fast, which made Qiu Ruixian behind her complain endlessly. Every time she asked him to stop and rest for a while, she would say "We'll be there soon" and continue walking without any intention of stopping.
He had no choice but to continue following, which made him feel dizzy. Fortunately, the torture did not last long. Half an hour later, the town he had longed for finally appeared in sight.

After entering the town, Tsurumi Chuyun immediately dragged Qiu Ruixian to a local bathhouse, paid the people inside to clean him, and then went to the racecourse non-stop, where he spent fifty I bought a horse with an extra two taels of silver. After returning to the bathhouse, Qiu Ruixian's body was also clean. Although the fishy smell was still there or not, it was not much better than when he was rescued from the cave.

The two didn't stay long. After asking someone for directions to Gyeongju City, they quickly left the town.

In the evening, Tsurumi Chuyun sprinkled some seasonings on the roasted meat, handed one skewer to Shen Yi, and put the other skewer to his mouth and took a bite.

It's full of juice, and although it's a bit hot on the mouth, it tastes great.

Thinking of something, she lowered her head and pondered for a while, then asked Qiu Ruixian opposite: "Did the rat demon you mentioned turn into your appearance and leave?"

"Yes." The other party nodded and continued: "The look, expression, and tone of voice are exactly the same as mine. I almost thought I was the fake Qiu Ruixian."

"You have been trapped in the cave for so long, and your family has never sent anyone to look for you?"

"No, it's already August now. I remember it was February when I went out for an outing. After such a long time, there was no movement at all in Gyeongju City. My father probably thought that rat demon was me! Wait until I take that rat demon If the demon is exposed, I will chop it into pieces and feed it to Adu!"

"Who is Adu?"

"Adu is a contracted beast, and its owner is one of my father's guards."

"Yeah." Tsurumi Chuyun nodded and then stopped talking, thinking about something in his heart.

Seeing her like this, Qiu Ruixian couldn't help but become confused and asked, "What's wrong?"

"nothing."

She shook her head and denied it. In fact, based on what the other party had said during the day, she always felt that something was wrong, so she asked this question. However, after asking, she found that there seemed to be no problem, so she had no clue now.

According to Qiu Ruixian's story, the rat demon knew many kinds of magic and could also transform. It seemed to be stronger than the rat demon that Shen Yi and her had killed before, and much stronger. She might not be able to deal with it.

But what's the problem?

Qiu Ruixian's father is an alchemist, and the strength of the guards around him is definitely not low. What she and Shen Yi have to do is very simple, just expose the rat demon.

"Hmm... Where did I just think?" At this moment, she was even more confused.

Okay, her thoughts were messed up again, so she simply stopped thinking about it and put more meat on the grill. The sound of sizzling was heard, and the mouth-watering aroma filled the edge of the fire.

After the atmosphere was quiet for a few seconds, Qiu Ruixian suddenly said: "We agreed first. After the matter is completed, I will do my best to repay you, but you can't open your mouth and deliberately embarrass me."

"Then what does it mean to embarrass you?"

"For example, if you want spiritual treasures, elixirs, millions of taels of gold, etc., these are things that my enemies cannot or cannot afford."

"Oh, oh, don't worry, it won't happen. I just want you to do a small favor. It's very simple." Shen Yi waved his paws and stuffed several pieces of roasted meat into his mouth as he spoke.

"What is a small favor?"

"It's just a small favor." Shen Yi said matter-of-factly.

In fact, when it was still dark, Qiu Ruixian asked them what their requirements would be after they accomplished the task, but he was put off by Tsurumi Chuyun.

After all, once Tsurumi Chuyun, an alchemist who has not joined Jiyuansi, is exposed to people's sight, it will be difficult to get out.

Qiu Ruixian looked at He Jian Chuyun. She lowered her head and ate barbecue but remained silent. This made him feel something bad in his heart. When he spoke again, there was a strong sense of uneasiness in his tone.

"If you haven't said anything, you won't really want the lion to open his mouth, right?"

"No, no, our request is really simple. Since your father is an alchemist, it should be easy to accomplish."

"You want elixirs? It's easy! The elixirs in my warehouse are almost piled up. You can have as many as you want!"

"no no."

"Not a pill? What is that?"

"We can wait until then, okay?"

"But you have to let me know, right? My father is an alchemist, but I am not. If your request is too troublesome, I can beg my father, but whether my father agrees or not is another matter. "

Hearing Qiu Ruixian's words, Shen Yi couldn't help but look at He Jian Chuyun, who also raised his head and looked at him.

"Uh……"

What this guy said makes sense. His father is an alchemist, but he is not. He is just getting some alchemy materials. It sounds simple, but as the saying goes, peers are enemies. Qiu Ruixian, a playboy, readily agreed, but whether he can succeed or not remains to be seen. Judging from his father Qiu Wuling's attitude, if Qiu Wuling didn't want to do it, he and the old witch would have been working in vain.

There is such a possibility, then it is better to reveal the purpose now and see how Qiu Ruixian behaves. If it works, continue. If not, just leave. At least there is no need to waste time.

While Shen Yi was thinking about this, He Jian Chuyun spoke in a calm tone: "It doesn't hurt to tell you, we need the materials for making elixirs."

"Huh? Alchemy material? That's easy to tell. What kind of elixir do you want?"

"One hundred and fifty copies of the fine beast-enhancing pill, and two hundred copies of the top-grade beast-preserving pill." Tsurumi Chuyun told the quantity of materials needed to refine the beast-preserving pill. During this period, she sold more pills. She had made some money, and there was still about 7,600 taels of silver in the storage space. She was going to use it all to buy Yun Beast Pills, so that Shen Yi, a big consumer of pills, could fill her pockets.

When he heard this amount, Qiu Ruixian opened his mouth, showing great surprise.

"There are so many, and they are all from the Beast Preservation Pill... What do you use them for?"

Tsurumi Chuyun didn't answer, just looked at him expressionlessly.

Qiu Ruixian looked next to her and saw Shen Yi looking up at the sky, as if he didn't know what they were talking about.

When he looked at Tsurumi Hatsuun again, he finally realized something. His originally surprised expression turned into disbelief. His mouth opened and it became difficult to even speak a complete sentence.

"You, you...you can't be...no, you can't be an alchemist too, right?"

Seeing that Chu Yun still didn't answer, and his face was still expressionless, He watched quietly.

Shen Yi couldn't pretend anymore. After buying so many materials, even a fool could guess that she was an alchemist, so he simply said: "You guessed it right, but there is no reward."

"You really are an alchemist!"

Qiu Ruixian jumped up from the ground, looking at her with shock in his eyes, his mouth wide open and it looked like his jaw was about to drop, and he couldn't close it for a long time.

Tsurumi Chuyun withdrew his gaze, put a piece of barbecue to his mouth, took a bite, and nodded at the same time.

"Are you lying to me? You look so young...you don't look like an alchemist at all. How could you be..."

His tone was trembling, and he seemed to be shocked. After living for almost thirty years, he had long ago accepted the fact that some people can cultivate and some cannot, but so what? So what if you can't practice cultivation and be an ordinary person for the rest of your life? His father was an alchemist, and he had never been looked down upon by anyone. Even some of the most talented people in the big families had to respectfully call him "Young Master Qiu" when they saw him. Afraid of offending him due to any slight.

And today, the girl in front of him broke through to the pure level before she was twenty years old. She was a monster-level figure in her cultivation. It didn't matter, he didn't think it was anything, but she was still an alchemist!

This identity caused an extremely unbalanced emotion in his heart, and for the first time he lamented the injustice of God.

When his mind was in chaos, Tsurumi Chuyun said: "Okay, you believe or not whether I am an alchemist or not. Anyway, that's all I want. Can you do it?"

Qiu Ruixian came back to his senses: "What you want is indeed a bit much, but it's not difficult to handle. I can get it for you myself without my father's consent."

"Oh." Hearing his words, Tsurumi Chuyun breathed a sigh of relief, but the next second he said again: "But so many materials disappeared for no reason, I have to give my father an explanation, so Miss Jiang … You might have to spend some money.”

"Don't worry, I won't ask for your alchemy materials in vain. I will buy them as much as you spent on them from the medicine hall."

"No, no, no, just give me half the price. The materials my family buys from the medicine hall are all at a discount. A high-quality Beast Yun Dan originally costs twenty-seven taels. When my family purchased it, it cost twenty-two taels. I’ll buy Miss Jiang at half discount and you’ll be fine with eleven taels of silver.”

"Huh?" Tsurumi Chuyun was stunned for a moment.

The materials for the high-quality Beast-Enchanting Pill are 14 taels of silver each, which costs 150 copies. The materials for the top-quality Beast-Restoring Pill are 27 taels of silver each, and cost 200 copies. The total of the two together is exactly 7,500. She had already settled for a hundred taels of silver, just to buy these alchemy materials at normal prices, and according to Qiu Ruixian's half discount, this meant that she could buy nearly 300 more materials for the top-quality beast-enhancing elixir.

Shen Yi next to him had a strange look on his face and asked, "Mr. Qiu, are you sure you want a half discount?"

"Of course, but the first step is to expose the fake me."

"If you want to say that, then we won't be polite..."

"Why are you being polite?" Qiu Ruixian looked confused, not understanding the meaning of Shen Yi's words.

Shen Yi turned his head to look at He Jian Chuyun. When he turned around, he rubbed his paws, changed his way of speaking, and asked: "Let's do it. At the half price you said, Jiang Yiyi and I only want high-quality products and the best beast-enhancing pills." , seven thousand five hundred taels of silver, how much do you think you can buy?"

When he said this, Qiu Ruixian immediately realized the seriousness of the matter, his face changed, and he hurriedly said: "This, this, this... this is not okay!"

"Why not?"

"I can't explain it to my dad if you want so much!"

"How many can you make?"

"A maximum of three hundred copies of high-quality and top-quality products!"

"Three hundred copies for each level?"

"also."

"make a deal!"

Shen Yi chuckled. There were 300 portions each of the high-quality beast-enhancing elixir materials and the top-grade beast-enhancing elixir materials. All of them were refined into elixirs that would be enough for him to take for a long time.

After eating the barbecue, Tsurumi Chuyun simply tidied up. Originally, she wanted to read a book, but since everyone guessed that she was an alchemist, she was too lazy to hide it, so she simply set up the alchemy furnace. Elixirs were refined everywhere.

Sleepless that night, Qiu Ruixian lay on the mat and tossed and turned, occasionally glancing in the direction of Hejian Chuyun. He didn't know what he was thinking, but he couldn't fall asleep for a long time.

……

In the blink of an eye, five days passed.

In Qingzhou City, Tsurumi Chuyun finally found a gap in the crowded streets and led the horse to the roadside. After using the magical weapon of the spirit to put Jueying into it, she frowned and looked at the same horse behind her. Qiu Ruixian came on horseback.

"You don't even know where your home is?"

"This..." He looked embarrassed and could only say: "Although I grew up here, Qingzhou City is so big, I may not recognize every place. To be honest, this is my first time here. Come on,...I usually only go out by carriage, and my servants at home lead the way. I rarely see the outside scenery..."

"Then you are going to go around all the places?" She took a deep breath, feeling that she was completely convinced by this person.

"Don't panic, don't panic." Qiu Ruixian tied his horse aside, stopped a random person and shouted, "Hey! It's you!"

"Why are you stopping me?"

"Let me ask for directions!"

"Don't know? I haven't asked yet, how could you not know?"

"I don't know, I don't know!"

The man who was stopped had an impatient look on his face. He flicked his sleeves and walked away from Qiu Ruixian.

"You! Do you know who I am! If you dare to mess with me, believe it or not, I will make it impossible for you to survive in Qingzhou City!"

Qiu Ruixian roared loudly, showing the arrogance and domineeringness of a playboy.

The eyes of the passers-by around him were attracted to him, and they looked at his clothes. After a while, they all showed disdain on their faces.

Realizing that he had become a conspicuous person, Qiu Ruixian quickly restrained his previous posture, smiled awkwardly at Tsurumi Chuyun, and then ran to the side with his head lowered.

Tsurumi Chuyun leaned against the wall and looked at him expressionlessly. His eyes seemed to be looking at a fool. He didn't talk to him, as if he didn't know him.

After everyone dispersed, she walked in the direction where Qiu Ruixian left. When she saw him, he stopped a passerby and asked him: "Hey! Wait a minute! Do you know where Xifeng Zui is going? ?”

This time, the passerby's attitude was much better and he was not impatient. He stretched out his hand and pointed in one direction.

"Thank you!"

After saying thank you, Qiu Ruixian hurried over. He Jian Chuyun followed behind and asked, "Then Xifeng Zui... is your home?"

"No, as soon as we get to Xifengzui, I will know where my home should go."

"Oh." Nodding, she said nothing and followed silently.

She asked countless passers-by like this, and after walking around for an unknown amount of time, she saw a small island in the middle of the lake. On the island, there was a circle of weeping willows planted along the shore. The scenery was pleasant, and in the center of the island, There is also a magnificent and luxurious house.

Turning to look at Qiu Ruixian, he saw his eyes shining brightly and he quickened his pace and ran towards the bridge.

She wanted to stop the other party, but it was already too late.

"I'm back! I'm back!"
