The river was silent.
Luo Qingzhou's soul flew into the air, and in the cold darkness, silently overlooked the world below.
The whole world was covered in snow.
On the hillside, the second brother of the Qin family was practicing boxing, sweating profusely.
There was still a faint light in the house.
A faint sound of crying came from a room and soon disappeared in the cold wind and snow.
In the mountains and forests, wild animals come out to look for food.
The snowflakes fell silently, decorating the entire world with pure whiteness and spotless.
However, the night is still night, and the cold is still cold.
Luo Qingzhou looked in the air for a while before falling into the river and disappearing.
The underwater dragon palace is like a dreamland.
As soon as he approached, the passage into the palace opened and a staircase appeared.
As he walked up the stairs, the entrance behind him slowly closed.
The palace gates are open.
He entered the hall he had been to before. The hall was empty and no one knew where Long Er was in seclusion.
He went to the Crystal Palace with ease, but still didn't find anyone.
Just as he was standing in front of the ice coffin, looking at the sleeping bones in the coffin, the side door next to it slowly opened, and a moon-white figure walked out of the door.
Luo Qingzhou hurriedly asked: "Sister Yue, how is Long Er?"
The white figure said calmly, "I am practicing. Have you prepared all the materials for refining weapons?"
Luo Qingzhou took out a wooden box from his storage ring, walked up to her and said, "This is the nail of an ancient beast. Sister Yue, can you take a look at it?"
The white figure took the wooden box, glanced at it calmly, and said, "Okay."
Luo Qingzhou said: "There is also the stem of the Earth Fire Spirit Lotus. I haven't got it yet. Xiaoyue promised to give it to me, but I don't know when to send it to me. I will ask later."
The Yuebai figure put away the wooden box and said nothing more.
Luo Qingzhou glanced at her and said, "Sister Yue, um, I have something else I want to trouble you with. Can you help me make the pill?"
The Yuebai figure paused after hearing this and asked, "What pill?"
Luo Qingzhou said: "Nine Apertures Gathering Spirit Pill."
As he spoke, he quickly explained, "I feel like I'm close to a breakthrough, but I always feel like something is missing. My uncle from the sect said that it might be this kind of elixir. My uncle said that using the Nine Apertures Gathering Spirit Pill should be very effective, so I would like to ask Sister Yue to help me refine one."
After listening to this, the Yuebai figure was silent for a moment, and then said, "The Nine-Aperture Gathering Spirit Pill will indeed be effective for you. But the materials needed to refine it are very demanding. Do you have them?"
Luo Qingzhou immediately took out a bag from his storage ring, and then took out all the medicine boxes in the bag, saying, "Sister Yue, I brought all the materials. Take a look, they should be complete."
As he spoke, he opened all the medicine boxes one by one.
The white figure looked at it silently. After reading it, he looked at him again and said calmly, "Indeed, it is complete. These medicinal herbs are very precious and hard to find now. How did you find them?"
Luo Qingzhou was a little embarrassed and said, "There is a senior uncle in my sect. She spent many years collecting these herbs. She was going to use them to refine the Nine Apertures Gathering Spirit Pill, but now she suddenly doesn't need them, so she gave them to me."
The white figure looked at him coldly and said, "Why is it suddenly no longer useful?"
Luo Qingzhou's mouth twitched and he said, "She's about to break through."
The eyes of the Yuebai figure shrouded in a halo narrowed slightly and said, "It's almost a breakthrough, which means it hasn't broken through yet. If you take this pill, the success rate will increase a lot. Why doesn't she want it anymore?"
After a pause, he said calmly, "Have you found a better alternative?"
Luo Qingzhou: “…”
"Why don't you speak?"
The moon-white figure stared at him again.
Luo Qingzhou suppressed his embarrassment and pretended to be calm: "I don't know either. Anyway, she said she didn't need them now, so she gave all these herbs to me."
At this point, he quickly changed the subject and said, "Sister Yue, she said this kind of medicine is very difficult to refine. Even the alchemists in the sect can't guarantee success. That's why I brought it here and asked Sister Yue to help me refine it. I know Sister Yue must be better than those alchemists, right?"
The moon-white figure stared at him for a while and said coldly: "I don't have time."
Luo Qingzhou was silent for a moment, then said, "That's right. Sister Yue also needs to help me refine the flying sword, so I really can't spare the time."
He pondered for a moment, then said, "Sister Yue, can you help me refine the elixir first? I must break through as soon as possible, preferably within the next two days. As for the flying sword, I can refine it later."
The moon-white figure faced his expectant gaze, paused for a moment, and with a flash of moonlight in his hand, he put away his herbs, but did not speak and left the palace directly.
Luo Qingzhou was stunned for a moment. When he was about to follow, the communication token on his body suddenly vibrated.
He took it out and took a look. It was sent by the princess.
Xiao Meijiao: Luo Qingzhou, there is news from the princess. The emperor asked her to inform you to go to the palace in three days, on the day of the princess' wedding. Otherwise, Qin Lang will be beheaded outside the Meridian Gate that day.
Luo Qingzhou looked at the message and was silent for a long time before replying: I understand. Go to bed early.
Xiao Meijiao: Will you go
Luo Qingzhou: Yes
Xiao Meijiao: In what capacity
Luo Qingzhou: As he wished, Luo Qingzhou's identity
Xiao Meijiao: He said that if you go back to serve, he will pardon Qin Lang and everyone in the Qin family. Do you believe it
Luo Qingzhou: Princess, do you think I'm a fool
Xiao Meijiao: Then you still want to die? You should have experienced the masters in the palace, right? If something happens to you, what will happen to your family? Qin Lang chose his own path. Even if you want to save him, it shouldn't be you.
Luo Qingzhou: The reason I went there was not just to save my elder brother. Even if my elder brother was not there, I would still go. I said that I would kill that person and no one could stop me.
Xiao Meijiao: You are not a reckless person
Luo Qingzhou: Princess, the eldest princess’ wedding is scheduled for that day, isn’t it just perfect
Xiao Meijiao: What's just right? He was deliberately trying to disgust the princess. He knew that the princess was close to the Qin family and even closer to you. If you showed up, he would be even happier. I really don't understand why he would do such a thing when the princess had already given up.
Luo Qingzhou: As the crown prince, he has been oppressed by a woman since he was a child. All the excellence and glory, as well as the love and praise, are on that woman. He is so close, but he can only watch helplessly. Will his mentality change? As long as that woman is alive, he will not be happy.
Xiao Meijiao: But they are blood relatives after all.
Luo Qingzhou: There is no family affection in the royal family. Not to mention the royal family, even in ordinary families, once their respective interests are involved, and those interests are enough to affect their whole lives, then even the closest people may turn against each other.
Xiao Meijiao: Is it true that only one person can survive
Luo Qingzhou: Of course not. The princess has always treated him as a relative.
Xiao Meijiao: If you take action, will the princess help him
Luo Qingzhou: I don't know. Princess, go to bed early. I want to practice.
Xiao Meijiao: Yeah
Luo Qingzhou held the communication certificate and thought for a while. When he was about to go find Sister Yue, the communication certificate suddenly vibrated again.
Message from Xiaoyue: Dear brother, my sister is out of town, are you at the riverside
Luo Qingzhou said quickly:
After saying this, he immediately left the Dragon Palace and flew onto the river.
Duobao Xiaoyue is here, and she should bring the stems of the Earth Fire Spirit Lotus with her.
I hope it's not too late.
He flew onto the river and landed on a small boat. He once again heard the sound of boxing practice mixed in with the wind and snow.
He turned his head and looked through the wind, snow and mist on the river, at the hillside.
Second Brother Qin was still practicing his boxing with sweat pouring down his face. The snow and trees around him were rustling as they were torn apart by the strong wind.
Is my second brother going to do anything stupid
He sighed and looked towards Kyoto in the distance.
Not long.
A familiar red shadow suddenly passed through the wind and snow and appeared in his sight.
It was still far away in the last second, and in the next second, it was already above his head.
"elder brother!"
The red figure floated down, her tone full of joy, and her eyes shrouded in red halo looked at him with a smile.
Good brother, in three days, you will be my Xiaoyue’s husband!
"By the way, is Senior Sister here?"
She suddenly asked again, wanting to show off in front of her senior sister.
Luo Qingzhou said: "It's down there, in Long'er's Dragon Palace."
Xiaoyue snorted and said, "Senior sister is so close to that little goblin, and I don't know what her purpose is. Brother, that little goblin has been plotting against your Thunder Spirit Root, you better be careful."
From now on, her brother will be hers, and everything on her brother will naturally be hers as well.
If that little devil dares to set her sights on her brother again, she will not turn a blind eye to it anymore!
"Xiao Yue, did you bring the stuff? All I need now is the stem of the Earth Fire Spirit Lotus."
Although Luo Qingzhou felt a little embarrassed, he still spoke directly.
Time is urgent.
He must do everything possible to improve his strength.
As for the favors owed, I can only repay them later.
Xiaoyue immediately took out a brocade box and said sweetly, "I dare not forget what you told me, so I brought it all. In addition to the stem of the Earth Fire Spirit Lotus, there is also a petal of the Spirit Lotus. You can swallow the petal directly, and if you do this, the Fire Spirit Qi in your body will be even stronger, and the flames you release will be even more powerful."
Luo Qingzhou was stunned when he heard this, and took the brocade box. He looked at her and said, "Xiaoyue, thank you. In the future..."
Xiaoyue immediately said with a smile: "Brother, if you really want to thank me, I will need you for many things in the future. I hope you won't refuse me then."
Luo Qingzhou said: "Don't worry, as long as I can do it, I will definitely help you."
Xiaoyue immediately said happily: "Xiaoyue is so lucky to know brother."
At the same time, she secretly said proudly in her heart: "Sister, I'm sorry. Brother is very good, and he will be mine, Xiaoyue's, from now on! Just wait for your tears!"
The two talked for a while on the boat.
Xiaoyue reluctantly said, "Brother, I have something else to do at home. I can't be out for too long. I have to go back first. Brother is here, but you must protect yourself and don't let some little goblins take advantage of you."
Luo Qingzhou nodded and said, "Be careful when you go back."
Xiaoyue suddenly jumped into his arms, hugged him, and said, "Brother, Xiaoyue is waiting for you."
Luo Qingzhou asked: "Why are you waiting for me?"
Xiaoyue smiled, and a red shadow flashed, flying into the air, and said sweetly: "Wait until brother is willing to fall in love with Xiaoyue."
After saying that, the red light dissipated and disappeared.
Luo Qingzhou looked at the night sky in the distance, stood on the boat for a while, and then returned to the Dragon Palace under the sea.
A moon-white figure was standing in front of the ice coffin waiting for him.
When Luo Qingzhou saw her, he quickly took out the brocade box that Xiaoyue had just given him and said, "Sister Yue, Xiaoyue came just now and gave me something. Can you see if I can use it?"
Yue Bai paused, took the brocade box, opened it and took a look, then said calmly, "Okay."
Luo Qingzhou couldn't wait to say: "Sister Yue, how about I stay here and you..."
The white figure looked at the brocade box in his hand, was silent for a while, raised his head and looked at him, and said: "Do you want to make pills with me?"
Luo Qingzhou was startled when he heard this and said, "I... I can't..."
The moon-white figure looked at him quietly and said, "I'll teach you."
Luo Qingzhou was stunned for a moment, then nodded heavily and said, "Okay."
The moon-white figure was silent for a moment, and then said, "With your talent, you will go very far in the future. If you learn how to make pills, you won't have to ask anyone for help in the future."
After hearing this, Luo Qingzhou suddenly felt uncomfortable for some reason and asked, "Sister Yue, are you leaving?"
The Yuebai figure said nothing, turned around and walked towards the side door.
