Keqing, it’s just cultivating immortality, is it that difficult?

crunch--

The door slowly closed, and a brief ray of sunlight shone through the gap from outside the house before being neatly blocked out. Everything became silent.

And some hazy eyes on the bed opened quietly, and then a look of intoxication appeared on his face.

"Siha~ Siha~"

"The little guy's bedding is so warm and has a light fragrance."

"Shasshaha~"

Anyone who sees his intoxicated look would think he is a pervert.

……

……

The days that followed were very dull. Following Keqing's instructions, a small auction house specializing in auctioning longevity pills was set up.

Naturally, this auction house was not shown to the outside world, and only the leading True Lords of hundreds of cities participated.

Because of Keqing's instructions, Ye Shang deliberately said some words and spread some rumors to express the threat of Minghui Zhenjun. The wings of other cities were dissatisfied with the reputation of Guiyi City, but did not say anything.

Everybody wants the longevity elixir, why are you, Guiyicheng, so overbearing? You already took one, and now you want all of them. You really won't even give them a chance to eat.

Originally, with Guiyi City as their backing, no one knew what to say when facing Minghui, who was taking advantage of the power of others. But at this moment, Diao Mu stood up and said that this was a personal action of Minghui Zhenjun and did not represent Guiyi City.

This statement was obviously like adding water to a boiling oil pan, which made all the True Lords dissatisfied.

Afterwards, the auction was held as scheduled. It was said that before that, Minghui specially gathered a group of True Lords, seemingly discussing something, but they ended up parting on bad terms.

According to the news from Diao Mu,

Hui Qiren seems to be dissatisfied with Keqing, and wants to unite all the True Lords to not bid at this auction and let the longevity pill be sold at a low price.

Licheng must have more elixirs, and they have the final say on whether to buy or not. If not, Licheng won’t be able to sell them.

In short, this is what it means, but unfortunately, no one is a fool.

The market for the longevity pills is not a buyer's market, but a seller's market. Minghui said it well. If they don't buy it, you can lower the price. But can you guarantee that? What if it is bought by someone else?

In the end, it seemed that they had completely broken down and lost Minghui's face. Before, everyone thought it was Guiyi City's intention and they had tolerated it. But since Diao Mu of Guiyi City said that the mayor of Guiyi City did not have this idea, and Minghui did not represent Guiyi City, then it was his personal idea.

Haha, how should I put it, stupid and arrogant.

This kind of arrogant behavior made Minghui, who had a very strong self-esteem, lose his temper that same day!

Conflicts arose when the auction began.

Keqing also understood the specific situation. In short, no one gave any face after the auction and kept bidding. The spots were sold out, but Ma Minghui, the leader of Guiyi City, did not bid for a single one.

After all, he was so stingy, and he felt that Li Cheng needed to please him, so how could he be willing to spend a huge price to buy it.

The enthusiastic bidding by others was like a slap in the face to him, and he left angrily with his people, along with the other cities that failed to win the longevity pill.

However, on the way, Minghui seemed to have encountered some enemy, or offended someone, and the flying boat of Guiyi City was attacked, and Minghui was killed tragically, with no body left.

This incident caused a huge uproar. Anyone who dared to attack the people of Guiyi City must be tired of living!

Is it specifically aimed at Guiyi City, or just Minghui personally?

Everyone guessed that it was most likely the latter. After all, everyone knew that Minghui had offended many people and had a bad temper. The people in Baicheng looked at each other and thought that the other party had taken action just to vent their anger!

By the time Keqing learned about this, the elixir had already been prepared and delivered to the people from the hundred cities who stayed behind and waited.

It seemed that those people wanted to make friends with her, or wanted to see how Keqing would react, so they specifically mentioned this matter.

Unfortunately, Keqing didn't react at all. She just nodded to show that she understood. Her indifferent look made several True Lords confused.

This little girl from Li City was really calm. Could it be that she didn't do it? Or was it someone from another city?

But soon they stopped thinking so much. They got the life-extending elixir and achieved their goal. They didn't care about Guiyi City. They all laughed happily and led the team away immediately.

"Did she do it?"

Keqing seemed to be lost in thought. Although Diao Mu had expressed his stance before, Keqing originally thought that the other party wanted to slowly erode her status and reputation, and then take action slowly.

I didn't expect that she could kill Minghui so directly. Does that mean that she has one or more True Lords supporting her?

After thinking about it, Keqing felt it was normal.

After all, as the only eldest lady in Guiyi City, how could she not have someone behind her?

Keqing shook her head, and just at this moment, Diao Mu arrived.

"You, haven't left yet?"

Keqing looked at Diao Mu in front of her with some surprise.

"Aren't we waiting for the immortal's longevity elixir? I would be a little worried if someone else came to help..."

Diao Mu chuckled.

"Besides, if I were here, some things would have nothing to do with me, right? The world would only know that I had a close relationship with the fairy and tried every possible means to get some longevity pills, while Minghui was furious because of his words and deeds, offended others, not only did he not get the pills, but he also died in the middle of the journey, was rewarded by his enemies, and even lost the only longevity pill."

Calculations are everywhere... Keqing sighed in her heart, it seems that being the eldest lady of Guiyi City is not easy.

"As long as you are confident, this is the pill for you."

Keqing handed the pill bottle to her.

"Fairy Keqing, can you..."

"No more. This is all the material for the longevity pill. These are the last few waves."

She had pulled out all the little jellyfish and made them vomit. She really couldn't do it anymore.

Diao Mu was a little disappointed when he saw this. It was a pity that this was all. Otherwise...

She opened the pill bottle and looked at the round pill inside. Her disappointment turned into joy. This was the longevity pill. She took a deep breath and the smell of the pill lingered around her nose.

"what?"

"what happened?"

Seeing Diao Mu's strange expression, Keqing asked.

"Why does this...longevity pill have a spicy taste?"

Diao Mu wrinkled his nose and Keqing was stunned.

"Ahem, that's how the longevity pill is. Don't worry, the pill's efficacy is fine."

Can she say that Little Jellyfish had spicy hotpot a few days ago? Because she was grateful for her, she also left a portion of the food she made for her.

The saliva of the little jellyfish is the material for the longevity pill, so naturally...

There’s nothing really special about spicy taste, right?

Just treat it as a new flavor?

Chapter 864: Boundary Ship (5K)

"Hmm... I didn't expect the fairy likes spicy food... Even the pills are spicy."

Keqing's expression moved slightly, the corners of her mouth twitched slightly, and she didn't know what to say.

There was nothing that could be done about it. For some reason, the little jellyfish's saliva suddenly had a spicy taste, and there was really no way to get rid of it.

Obviously eating

It was just an ordinary spicy meal, not some special spiritual food, and there was nothing foreign in my saliva, but the spicy and fresh aroma was so rich.

Although she could remove the spicy taste through careful research, this would not only require a lot of research, but might also destroy the medicinal properties of the main medicine. Of course, the most important thing was that it was very time-consuming. The quota for the pills had already been sold and was waiting for delivery, and people outside were waiting too. Keqing naturally couldn't spend her time on this.

Sometimes special things have to be done specially. Although she is very particular about quality, time is of the essence now.

Fortunately, apart from the change in taste, there were no problems with the quality and other aspects of the refined pills. This made her feel relieved and it didn't take too much time.

After getting the pills, Diao Mu left neatly after some greetings, and began to plan her future with the pills.

Keqing naturally has to worry about her own affairs, such as some allies who are still waiting for her.

"My friend, you finally came to find us. I thought you forgot our previous agreement."

"Yeah, you haven't responded yet, which makes us anxious."

The ones who spoke were the two True Lords from Tianheng City and Yunyi City.

The one from Tianheng City is Master Chi, and the one from Tianyi City is Master Li. As for the Master from Lingyun City, he seemed to have left first due to an emergency, so the elixir is kept with Ye Shang and will be sent over later. The same goes for Mo Yi from Qi City. As an ally, and secretly one of her own, Keqing will naturally not treat Qi City badly, so she entrusts it to the little mountain god Mo Yue. There is no need for them to gather together here specially.

"How could that be? I will never break my promise to my allies. I have always remembered that."

Keqing handed over the remaining pills that she had prepared for Jicheng.

The two had been waiting for this moment for a long time. They also tried to bid at the auction house, but unfortunately, their wealth was not enough to compare with those wealthy cities. So they could only place their last hope on the agreement that Keqing had mentioned before.

Seeing everyone leaving, they were uneasy and worried because Keqing had not come out yet.

After all, what if there aren’t enough pills, or if the quantity is insufficient during refining and is only enough for the few who have bid?

Now, seeing the pill bottle in front of him, his wandering heart suddenly settled down.

I couldn't wait to open the lid, and the round pill inside came into view. I took a gentle sniff and smelled the fragrance of the pill, as if one sniff of it could bring waves of... spicy taste?

"Why does this smell like pepper?"

"Really? Doesn't it taste like chili sauce?"

Keqing's expression remained unchanged.

"Well, this is a recipe I modified on a whim. After all, ordinary pills have no taste at all. Now that I've added flavor, it at least tastes much better."

"I see! As expected of you, my friend."

Chi Zhenjun gave a thumbs up.

"Why didn't I think of that? I'm tired of the usual pills, so this is just right for a change of taste."

Keqing blinked, and rarely said anything.

If I'm telling the truth, well...

Still don't.

Everyone was happy, but there was still one thing that was not confirmed, so Keqing got to the point.

"Seniors, I heard that becoming a Hundred Cities will give you a quota for boundary ships, and you can transport supplies from the outside world... I don't know."

"Oh? Quota? That's true."

Carefully putting the pill bottle into his arms, Li Zhenjun patted his long sleeves, straightened his skirt, and thought, "There are indeed quotas. After all, you also know that we can't rely entirely on local resources for cultivation in the Hundred Cities. Many cultivation methods come from Zhongzhou, which were left over when Jiuzhou was not destroyed."

"Although the cultivation methods have changed a bit due to the change in environment, some necessary cultivation materials are scarce or even unavailable in the Wasteland State, and must be purchased from other states. Therefore, a long time ago, we gathered the strength of hundreds of cities and spent a lot of money to buy several boundary ships from those large sects outside to start the exchange of resources."

"Yes, it cost a lot of money at that time. The method of making the boundary ship was monopolized by those big forces. At that time, it cost a sky-high price and took a lot of effort!"

Thinking of the price of the boundary ship, Li Zhenjun shook his head.

The boundary ship is not an ordinary ship. It is a powerful treasure that can fly in the void and span two states.

The void has no spiritual energy, the aura is mixed, and it is filled with various unstable space cracks and void storms. Even the gods dare not stay in the void for a long time, let alone ordinary people.

A large ship capable of transporting supplies and people is very necessary.

Moreover, if you want to walk in the void, you must be able to withstand the combat power of at least Lianxu Zhenjun, but this is difficult for most materials to achieve. After all, the power of Zhenjun can destroy mountains and seas at will, and that is not just a saying.

Moreover, since the boundary ship is used to transport supplies across two states, its size must not be too small. It must be at least as big as a Kunpeng.

Because ordinary space ring storage bags in the void will be affected and become unstable, there must be substantial space, otherwise when the time comes, it will disintegrate and there will be no way to deal with it.

Therefore, the size of the boundary ship is comparable to that of a small city, which is a clear example.

For such a large spaceship, not to mention the materials, just the various formations on it, one set inlaid within another, a total of 9,999 sets.

It is so big, but each time it is activated, it costs a lot of valuable energy, at least a medium-grade waste stone

Mine.

Keqing was surprised to hear several True Lords enumerating the preciousness of the boundary ship.

She had thought that the boundary ship was the same as an ordinary flying boat, but it turned out that the size of this boundary ship was different from that of an ordinary flying boat.

How big would a small city be?

"Aren't there any small boundary ships? Must they be as big as Kunpeng?"

Keqing asked.
