The abandoned cannon fodder girl's path to immortality

Chapter 67 Shadows on the Eaves
It takes a certain amount of time for the Moon Spirit Bumblebees to brew the honey, and basically only three jars are produced in a year.

After all, bumblebees also need to eat spiritual honey, so Chen Jinshu only eats spiritual honey on special occasions.

For example, a few months ago, when I was refining the secret medicine of the residual root, or the labor-inducing liquid, I was able to refine them in such a short time, all thanks to the insight provided by the lotus petal birthmark.

Not long after she took the Moon Spirit Honey, the lotus petal birthmark on her forehead once again reflected the power of enlightenment. She quickly absorbed it and then began to comprehend the recipe for the Lingshen Pill.

In the blink of an eye, an hour passed, and while Chen Jinshu was recovering his spiritual power, he finally improved his understanding of the pill formula a lot.

She smiled faintly, and taking advantage of the new realization, she immediately controlled the alchemy furnace and began the next round of refining.

An hour later, a very strong medicinal fragrance came from the alchemy furnace.

Just by smelling it, she could feel the spiritual power in her Dantian increasing.

She didn't have this feeling just now, so the quality must have improved.

She still kept four balls of medicinal liquid this time, so there were still four pills.

A moment later, four pills appeared in her hands. Their color was purer than the previous batch, and their fragrance was stronger.

“The effect is really obvious!”

She felt the spiritual power in her lower dantian and found that most of it had been consumed.

The number of times I have refined pills today has reached the limit.

She immediately put away the alchemy furnace and extinguished the spiritual charcoal fire. Then she came to the courtyard with the Luqiqin, ready to play "Ode to the Rejuvenation of the Earth's Veins" to restore her spiritual power.

"Even though my alchemy skills have improved, my piano skills can't fall behind!"

If something goes wrong in the competition, or if some amazing genius emerges, this outer sect competition is still an opportunity to gain a place.

So she couldn't fall behind on either end.

She first played three pieces of "Ode to the Rejuvenation of the Earth Veins" and then began to practice several attacking pieces.

The bright moonlight fell on the Momei Garden, and bursts of piano music echoed in the courtyard.

Each courtyard will be equipped with a soundproofing array to prevent the courtyards from affecting each other and causing neighborhood disputes.

In the past few months, she had met disciples from the neighboring courtyard several times, but they didn't communicate much. Everyone just nodded politely and greeted each other.

She didn't even know the names of these neighbors.

However, she was not shameless enough to ask others, as long as they did not affect each other.

Soon, Chen Jinshu finished playing the last piece "Zhuangzi's Butterfly Chapter".

Although there was only one fluorescent light on in the courtyard, it was still very bright.

When the piano music sounded, a large number of colorful butterflies would surround her body, which was a unique sight under the moonlight.

'Ding! '

Chen Jinshu was just about to put away the Luqiqin when, perhaps it was her illusion, a black shadow seemed to flash past the eaves of her courtyard gate at an extremely fast speed.

If she had not finished playing this kind of illusion music and was extremely calm inside, she would probably not have been able to notice it.

"Where did the shadow come from?"

Chen Jinshu instantly gave up the thought of continuing to play the piano, put away the Luqiqin, and then went to the door, wanting to observe the situation outside through the crack in the door.

She had come out at night before, but usually there were not many disciples walking around at this time, and they all stayed in the courtyard to practice.

Only the disciples from the Steward Hall who patrolled at night would patrol the streets.

One time, she came back late from the Affairs Hall after exchanging spiritual medicine, and bumped into a group of disciples on patrol. This gave her some ideas about the supervision of Yaowang Peak.

However, the patrolling disciples did not seem very willing. She saw that the pair of disciples were a little listless, and it was obvious that they had been tired for a long time.

The shadow had just flashed by, so she couldn't have been mistaken. "Who on earth is walking on the rooftops instead of the sidewalk? How strange!"

She immediately called the Yinshan Tit over and asked it if it had noticed something flash by.

The shaggy tit lives in a nest on a tree. Every time she plays the piano, it comes out to listen to the music and enjoys it very much.

The Yinshan Tit nodded, quickly flew to the eaves, and then chirped twice at her.

"You mean there's a little footprint on the eaves?"

Chen Jinshu immediately became interested upon hearing this and jumped up. Sure enough, he saw faint footprints in the moonlight.

"It seems like it's best not to go out this night. There are disciples causing trouble!"

Chen Jinshu's expression turned serious, and he quickly figured out the reason. It was probably because of the upcoming alchemy competition, and someone wanted to tamper with it in order to get a place in the competition.

The Yaowang Peak Alchemy Competition is the easiest opportunity for many disciples to obtain a place in the Xuanming Cave Heaven. It is no wonder that these disciples would do some extraordinary things.

The last time Gui Xinxin and others cheated, it was clear that although the sect has a test of conscience, people's hearts will change as the years go by.

Especially those disciples who have no special skills and are restricted in every way within the sect, they may be thinking of using this method to create a future for themselves.

"As for what happened, we'll know the situation in the next two days."

……

Three days later, Chen Jinshu had not gone out since he noticed a dark shadow passing by the eaves.

After all, the spiritual fields in her medicine garden do not need to be watered every day, and the spiritual medicines in her hands can still be refined for several days. She does not want to encounter any dirty trouble before the competition.

However, her door was still knocked by the senior brothers from the Management Hall.

'Knock knock! '

Chen Jinshu was playing the piano in the yard when a knock on the door immediately woke her up from her immersion in the world of piano.

She quickly put away the Luqiqin, walked to the front of the yard and opened the door.

"Greetings, senior brothers! I wonder if you have any advice for me?"

"We are from the Steward's Hall. Have you ever seen anyone flying over the eaves at night?" The senior brother from the Steward's Hall said straight to the point.

"No!" Chen Jinshu shook his head slightly, his eyes clear and his face innocent.

"I haven't been out for three days. I saw Senior Sister Dai a few days ago. I really didn't notice anything happening on the eaves! Why don't you brothers go up to the eaves and take a look?"

Chen Jinshu immediately found a backer, and these disciples visibly became much nicer to her, no longer sizing her up as soon as she entered the room.

"Sorry to bother you so much!"

"Brother, wait a minute! Let's check it out! The brothers will surely check every house they pass by, but if it comes to me, I won't check it out. If you tell others, I won't look good! It won't help the brothers either!"

Chen Jinshu thought for a moment and immediately tried to persuade him to stay.

She thought that if everyone checked and she didn't, people with ulterior motives would inevitably make false accusations, so it would be better to let them check it out.

"I'm sorry to bother you, Junior Sister!"

"Nothing! It's just that I haven't been out for three days, and I don't know what happened outside that made my senior brothers go to so much trouble!" Chen Jinshu lowered his eyebrows and asked in a friendly tone.

"Junior sister, you don't know! Many of the disciples who signed up for the competition have experienced vomiting and discomfort. They can no longer participate in the competition. It's even difficult to exert spiritual power!"

"After examination, the elders said it was poisoned. The Spiritual Food Hall has already checked and found nothing wrong. However, someone saw a dark shadow passing by the eaves!"

"So we got the elders' order to check every courtyard!"
