In the distance, one can hear the sound of chanting scriptures.

Ling Xiao supported a tree and bent over with a smile.

so cute.

Let them read it, and they really do!

It seems that today's Qingfeng Temple will be the day with the strongest monastic atmosphere in history.

As for how it ends next, he doesn't care.

I am just a lay disciple.

After thinking about walking, Ling Xiao arrived at the other courtyard and happened to see Ma Ying walking out.

"Junior Brother Ling, good morning."

Ma Ying smiled slightly and greeted.

For some reason, he looked cheerful today, as if something big had happened to him.

Ling Xiao recalled the salute and asked: "Is Senior Brother's injury getting better?"

"Nothing serious. What was that sound?"

Ma Ying immediately noticed the sound of chanting scriptures coming from the distance, and couldn't help but feel strange.

Taoist priests usually recite sutras in a low voice or silently. They pay attention to sincerity and spirituality. How can it be so hysterical?

Ling Xiao smiled and explained.

After hearing this, Ma Ying couldn't help but laugh, "These people are very snobbish. It doesn't hurt if I give you a little punishment. Master is waiting for you in the yard, you just go ahead!"

After sending Ma Ying away, Ling Xiao stepped into the courtyard and saw Xuanjizi drinking under the old locust tree. He had a sip of wine and a fragrant fruit, looking very comfortable.

Ling Xiao strangely stepped forward, cupped his hands and said, "Master!"

Xuanjizi was slightly drunk and said with a smile: "Good disciple, you are here."

Ling Xiao laughed and said, "Why do you keep drinking all day long? Aren't you afraid of bringing down all the fellow apprentices?"

Xuanjizi curled his lips and said leisurely: "People feel refreshed during happy events, so it's okay to drink a couple of cups. Should I say it or not, the wine you brought is very good."

What Xuanjizi drank was the tiger bone wine that Ling Xiao once offered, but he didn't expect to drink it until today.

"Disciple also got it by chance."

Ling Xiao quickly explained.

"Hahaha……"

Xuanjizi laughed and looked him up and down, his drunken eyes full of deep meaning.

"Ling Xiao, you have been here for the shortest period of time, but your achievements are not inferior to Ma Ying's. I am very pleased. In the next period of time, I will prepare for retreat. You will help Ma Ying to share the burden of the meditation."

"ah?"

Ling Xiao was stunned.

Retreat?

What does it mean?

[Haha...after so many years, you finally looked away. 】

[Don’t worry, with your qualifications, you are quite sure to break through the foundation building bottleneck! 】

The old locust tree suddenly spoke with relief.

Ling Xiao couldn't help but be shocked when he heard this.

Xuanjizi, want to retreat to attack the foundation building period?

what's the situation?

He always thought that Xuanjizi had used up all the opportunities to build the foundation, but looking at it now, it seemed that was not the case.

"Master, are you..."

Ling Xiao looked at Xuan Jizi in shock.

Could it be that Xuanjizi got the Tianpin Foundation Building Pill?

Seemingly seeing through what he was thinking, Xuan Jizi laughed dumbly, "What are you thinking about? I have never taken a foundation-building pill before. This time, I plan to start building a foundation from Xuanpin."

Ling Xiao was stunned.

What the hell?

"Are you... full?" Ling Xiao asked hesitantly.

At this age, I have never taken a foundation-building pill, so I am willing to stay in the Qi-refining period to cultivate.

If it’s not about being full, what is it?

【Ha ha ha ha……】

The old locust tree burst into laughter.

Xuanjizi also laughed, maybe because he was drunk. He did not pursue Ling Xiao's disobedient remarks, but sighed: "Maybe he is really full after eating!"

After saying that, he drank the last of the wine, stood up and said: "The attack and foundation building can take as short as half a year or as long as several years. During this period of seclusion as a master, all the important things in the observation are left to you, Master Xuanyun. Uncle is determined, if you have any problem, you can come to him."

"Disciple, obey!" Ling Xiao said respectfully.

"I'll leave this courtyard to you for the time being. Don't make a mess. There are things in the room prepared by my master, so feel free to use them."

After Xuanjizi finished his last words, he left calmly.

The place where Qingfengguan retreat hits the bottleneck is Chunyang Hall, and Xuan Qingzi will protect it.

Ling Xiao watched Xuan Jizi leave and silently blessed him in his heart.

[Don’t worry too much. The small machine has been settling for decades. It is estimated that we are 70% sure of attacking the foundation this time. Soon, you will see the master in the foundation building stage! 】

The old locust tree said with a smile.

Ling Xiao wanted to ask why Xuanjizi had been delayed for decades, but he held back.

That was Master's secret. He was curious, but there was no need to ask.

"It's a pity that I can't eat my fish."

Ling Xiao sighed.

There will be a period of time when there will be no more mystery.

I usually feel nothing, but now, I still miss him.

Although, they were separated for less than 1 minute.

After sighing with emotion, Ling Xiao came to the house and pushed the door open.

This was the first time that he entered Xuanjizi's bedroom. When he entered, he saw a statue of the Three Pure Ones enshrining him and an ordinary futon.

Next to the wall on the left is a bookshelf filled with scriptures.

Apart from this, there is no such thing as a mattress.

Ling Xiao stared at the futon for a long time.

In the past few decades, Xuanjizi spent every day and night on the futon.

After a moment of silence, Ling Xiao came to the bookshelf and found a storage bag placed in one of the compartments with a note underneath.

He took out the note and glanced at it, and couldn't help but feel moved.

In the storage bag, there were actually the talisman-making tools that Xuanjizi left for him, all of which were of thunder attribute!

He quickly picked up the storage bag, penetrated it with his spiritual consciousness, and was suddenly shocked.

Blank talisman paper with thunder attribute, 1000 sheets!

Thunder attribute talisman pen, 3 pieces!

Thunder attribute blood ink, 10 bottles!

Half of these are rewards for Ling Xiao's victory over An Lu yesterday, and the other half are gifts of cultivation given by Xuanjizi as his master!

"My dear, this old man is so rich!"

Ling Xiao held the storage bag, feeling both moved and shocked.

The total value of these materials is seven to eight thousand spirit stones!

It not only alleviated Ling Xiao's financial pressure, but also solved the dilemma of no one to help Ling Xiao make thunder-attribute tools during Xuanjizi's retreat.

I have to say that Xuanjizi was very thoughtful.

Ling Xiao felt that the storage bag in his hand was heavy. After a long time, he came back to his senses and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Only by practicing hard can we repay our teacher's kindness."

Ling Xiao whispered to himself.

It seems that Xuanjizi is extremely confident about this impact on the foundation building period.

Once the impact is successful, these materials and tools will no longer be suitable for his old man to use, and it will become a matter of course as a reward for Ling Xiao.

"Try it!"

Ling Xiao strode back to the yard and started making talismans.

What he chose this time was still the Pure Heart Talisman.

After only 4 failures, Ling Xiao successfully made a Pure Heart Talisman.

[Hey, your kid's level has improved by leaps and bounds! 】

The old locust tree exclaimed.

Although Ling Xiao could make the Pure Heart Talisman before, the success rate was disastrous, less than 10%, and the technique was quite crude.

Today, Ling Xiao seems to have changed. His skills have gradually become more proficient, and even his mana consumption has been reduced a lot!
