In the face of desire and immortality, everything is empty. The stupid idea before disappeared in Shao Yuan's mind.

Instead, it was replaced by the bright future that Shao Qing had painted for him.

"what?"

"What's wrong? Brother..."

Shao Qing moved his fingers and a stream of spiritual power shot out, like a gentle slap, and an ant on the hem of her skirt was knocked away by the spiritual power.

"It's just an ant. I'll help you swat it away. It's weird. How could there be a bug..."

"Maybe it just happened to be infected with my spiritual energy."

Shao Yuan doesn't care about the Tao.

As he said that, he stepped on it.

……

……

"What a pity... I finally got in..."

Seeing that the surveillance that she had finally gotten in was killed like this, Keqing sighed.

With the help of the system and using ants as a medium, Keqing can temporarily synchronize the perspective transmitted by the ants, provided that the ants are alive and have breath of life.

However, with this kick, the screen turned black and the "monitor" naturally broke.

Although ants can be found everywhere, in general, there are very few of these common insects in the caves of cultivators. After all, who wants to see cockroaches, ants and the like in the yard of their own cave?

Therefore, cultivators usually set up some barriers and use special means to eliminate these things.

This time, I followed the other party in. Maybe it was just a coincidence and I didn't care much about it, but if I did it again, it would probably arouse suspicion...

Moreover, the barrier is not so easy to enter. Caves with high spiritual power will naturally repel mortal insects.

"It seems that it will be troublesome to follow him to the place where he is imprisoned."

The reason why Keqing agreed to Yu Qiu's adventure was not mainly because she was worried about the ability or status of the mastermind behind the incident.

Incarnation? Or the higher level of refining emptiness?

It’s not like they don’t have any, and Master Jingming is very confident, so there’s no need to worry about that.

What does it mean to take risks and go deep into the tiger's den? This is what Yu Qiu wants to do.

In his words, it was just fun! He really wanted to try the situation where the beauty was abducted, which also made Keqing speechless.

Keqing had originally been thinking about whether or not to make a switch or something, but since she saw that he was treating the other party's plot against her as a joke, she didn't know what to say.

This is the new play of the children of the noble family

Do you like the thrill of being spotted while dressed as a woman?

Of course, these words were not said by Keqing, but by the system, which also said that some database needed to be updated.

In response, Keqing said, as long as you are happy, since Master Jingming is behind you, let him play if he wants to. After all, people come to Huangzhou to play... ahem, it should be for experience.

"But... I saw that young man was attracted to Fellow Daoist Yu before, but now it seems that he is just so-so..."

"After all, this is human nature. I'm not a love-brained person. When it comes to immortality, I still have a strong desire. A lover who I've only seen for a short time and have not been with for a long time can never compare to that."

A lazy voice mocked.

Looking at the fox lying in his arms lazily, he was also saying something about being in love, a proprietary term he heard from the system.

Keqing was speechless for a moment.

Love-brained, are you sure this isn’t talking about you?

As if sensing Keqing's gaze, the two fox ears that were eavesdropping on the scene suddenly rubbed over obediently. The two ears were like a mouse, scratching the palm of the hand, and not forgetting to blink obediently.

"Unlike others, they really like my little cutie and want to give her their heart and soul to her~"

Keqing pursed her lips uncomfortably and looked at Yuehu.

However, the little fox blinked in grievance.

“Why are you looking at me so aggrieved? Does the little cutie dislike your sister? Oh, oh, oh… I just knew that domestic flowers can’t compare to wild flowers. Those who come here will never be cherished. Hmm…”

Before she could finish, Keqing couldn't help it anymore and grabbed her agitated mouth with one hand.

She raised her eyebrows, and patiently...looked at Yuehu seriously.

"If you get sick again, I'll send you back!"

In an instant, Yuehu closed her mouth obediently, blinked her eyes cutely, put her furry head close to her palm, and wrapped her tail gently around her waist. The tip of the tail occasionally circled her fair wrist, as if trying to please her.

Keqing would not be fooled by her. She gently grabbed her restless tail with one hand and said with dissatisfaction while frowning.

"What's with the wild flower family flower, the heart and the like! Don't listen to the system's nonsense!"

"Good~"

Sitting upright and lying in front of me very obediently!

[And you! Don't teach her any nonsense. She's already so stupid, what if you make her even more stupid! ]

「……Okay, okay.」

The system didn't dare to say anything, because that person still insisted on asking me what cheesy love words I had.

Master, this is for your own good.

(Unfair╥﹏╥…)

Keqing sighed softly. The clone didn't have the same spiritual aura as the original body, and because of the synchronized consciousness, its energy couldn't be focused, which always resulted in this side affecting the original body.

After the incident, Keqing learned from Sister Yuehu that her main body lost control and accidentally released its aura, which almost caused trouble...

If Sister Yuehu didn't live far away, it wouldn't have affected other people. If the other party wanted to hide it, but was discovered by herself, she didn't know that the impact of the synchronization between the original body and the clone was so serious.

It stands to reason that the weak fox grass would not have any effect at all, but because this clone was transformed from a fox tail, and because of the special nature of the clone, its resistance is very low.

And the impact here will also be amplified to the main body...

No wonder most people’s clones don’t choose to synchronize consciousness. This is too affected.

In short, Sister Yuehu is stupid!

It's only been a few days and these incidents have already happened.

He doesn't look like the cute and majestic Sister Yuehu at all. If I didn't know him, I would have thought he was a gangster from somewhere and a dog circling around his tail!

What if the system makes me even more stupid and love-brained?

She glanced at the fox in her arms.

You are in love yourself, yet you blame others.

Looking at that pair of confused yet flattering eyes, Keqing really makes people feel a little uneasy.

Oh, forget it, Sister Yuehu is like this. I have to bear more responsibility for her in the future. I don’t know whether she is protecting me or I am protecting her.

Keqing sighed softly and rubbed the fox's head gently.

Little did he know that underneath that stupid head, he was communicating with someone.

[Are you sure that it would be better for me to act stupid? You are not lying to me, are you? ]

[No, of course I didn't lie to you, sir. Look, the master has become more forgiving and gentle to you. Believe me, my big data is absolutely correct! ]

[Hmm? Then I'll just trust you reluctantly. ]

[Wait until I capture your master, and you will be my number one little brother from now on! ]

[Thank you...sir?]

Humph, if it weren’t for the little fellow, I wouldn’t be so embarrassed and lose face!

When I get this little cutie, I will make sure to eat her up clean and let her sing, sing that song called "Conquer!"

The fox swore in his heart.

However, just as he swore in his heart, he suddenly felt a tingling sensation from his tailbone to his brain. The whole fox narrowed his eyes involuntarily, stretched out his limbs skillfully and with an intoxicated look, as if asking for a touch.

"roar~"

Rub rub.

【…】

Come on, this lady herself has a bunch of pets, and she is still so contented. If you still expect her to turn things around, you might as well daydream.

.

"Are you comfortable? Here,"

"Mmmmm, some more, down the back."

Yuehu curled up his tail comfortably and made a comfortable snoring sound from his throat.

……

……

Although the "monitor" was no longer useful, knowing that the other party was about to take action, Keqing specifically told Yu Qiu to be careful and prepared.

Yu Qiu was also excited when he heard this.

"Are you finally making a move? To be honest, I'm a little tired of it lately."

"Hey, that guy is too green. He just said whatever he wanted to seduce. It's so unfulfilling."

Keqing:......

A sense of accomplishment?

She looked at Yu Qiu's face full of sighs. Although she didn't quite understand, she was greatly shocked.

"It should be soon. I think the other party may take action, but he won't do it directly. He should find a way to make you volunteer."

Although he didn't understand what the other party was planning to do with his physique, it was obvious that it was going to be used to refine something that could bring benefits to himself.

Speaking of refining, Keqing couldn't help but think of the other party's identity and the person behind the scenes.

"Tianyang Tianjun, late stage of the Spiritualization Stage, a veteran alchemy master in Dan City."

Keqing had inquired and found out that this person was Shao Qing's master. It was said that his alchemy skills were very good and could be considered quite good.

He is considered one of the main leaders of Dancheng Dantang, and there are only three leaders in Dantang.

There are countless alchemists in Dancheng, but not all of them belong to Dancheng. Alchemists are divided into two types: unconventional and orthodox.

Dan Tang is the orthodox way, that is, the alchemists belong to Dancheng and are controlled and governed by Dancheng, which is equivalent to a guest official, but has more constraints than ordinary guests.

For promising alchemists, Dancheng will issue invitations and provide training resources.

But if you think Dancheng is doing good things, you are wrong. The requirement of providing resources for training is naturally not that simple. It is equivalent to selling yourself. You must sign a contract and obey Dancheng. From now on, the pills you refine cannot be sold privately and must be collected in a unified manner.

You also need to complete the published tasks on time, otherwise resources will be deducted.

There are also complaints about this system.

[Isn't this just exploiting the workers? No wonder the price of elixirs is so high. They buy at low prices and sell at high prices. The profit is really huge.]

Keqing nodded in agreement. The profit from elixirs is already huge, so wouldn’t it be even greater if they were resold like this?

You asked if there would be dissatisfied alchemists. Of course there would be, but unfortunately, Dan City has the confidence to provide this condition, and there must be a reason for that.

This is because most of the spiritual plants for elixirs on the market come from Dancheng, which not only cultivates spiritual plants on a large scale, but also controls several secret realms with rich resources, not to mention that Huangzhou is already barren.

Without resources, there is no way to practice, and without experience, it is very difficult to become an excellent alchemist. Even an alchemist cannot create something out of nothing.

Therefore, the bargaining power of elixirs has always been controlled by those in Dan City.

This is also why Keqing doesn't have a single move to kill the opponent, but only attacks the high end.

Because... she didn't have that many raw materials to make pills. If she hadn't been on good terms with the wild beasts and hadn't had the Wild Beast Forest to rely on, the pills she had wouldn't have been enough to impact the market.

Some people may ask, won’t those alchemists think of rebelling and leaving?

Of course there are, but Dancheng must also have ways to restrain alchemists.

After all, there are various oaths and contracts in the world of cultivation.

The consequences of violation are naturally very serious. Keqing also knows what the consequences of violation are, which is that the origin will be damaged, and in serious cases it can even hinder the path.
