There was peace in Taixu Garden.

Xuguochen Sect has an unparalleled reputation. He has an eccentric personality, rarely interacts with others, and has disappeared. Therefore, he is mysterious and unpredictable. The disciples in the sect keep away from him and dare not provoke him.

That day at the foot of the Taixu Garden Mountain, I saw that Ye Ling and the others were about to be suppressed, and Xu Mochen suddenly came to the rescue. It was really confusing.

None of the disciples in the sect knew the relationship between Xu Mochen and Chen Yan, so they secretly guessed and did not dare to cause trouble again.

On the other hand, after hearing the news, Meng Peiran of Yuanshuifeng came to the gate of Taixu Garden with his Dharma flying in the sky.

Meng Peiran wears her hair in a high bun with jade hairpins inserted horizontally. She wears a snow-white Taoist robe and holds a fly whisk in her hand. Her Taoist charm is flowing and her bearing is extraordinary.

He practiced the Source Water Path, and there was water vapor flowing around his body, accompanied by mist. He looked pure and free from dust, and there was no turbidity outside his body.

Meng Peiran said loudly: "Meng Peiran from Yuanshui Peak is here to pay a visit to two... uncles!"

In the Immortal Way, strength is respected. Although it is not as important as Confucianism, which values ​​superiority and inferiority, it does not break the rules. Although the word "Uncle Master" is difficult to pronounce, it is not necessarily impossible.

The wooden door opened wide, and Ye Ling stepped out. His sharp energy stirred the void, and his expression was unkind.

That day in front of Lingshi Mansion, Ye Ling and Meng Peiran had a chance encounter. Like Huo Yun, he also went to find out the details of Ye Ling and Wu Qing, but he had no intention of suppressing them.

The two of them were strangers to each other, and they suddenly came to visit today, but they didn't know why.

Meng Peiran cupped his hands and said, "I'm here to pay you a special visit. I wonder if I can go into the garden and talk for a while?"

Meng Peiran came here this time to show his goodwill to Ye Ling and Wu Qing, so he was very polite and polite and did not dare to slack off.

He didn't want to hit the smiling man. Since he didn't come to stir up trouble and he belonged to the same sect, Ye Ling didn't turn him away. Please come into the garden to talk.

In front of the stone table, Ye Ling took a cup and served tea. The fragrance of the tea overflowed, like smelling fairy grass.

This tea is made from the young leaves of the pure clover in the garden and brewed with spring water from the back of the mountain. It has the effect of calming the mind, calming the mind, expelling evil spirits and calming the qi.

The treasures of heaven and earth in Taixu Garden have been accumulated all year round, but no one uses them. The stock is innumerable. This tea is rare even outside the garden.

Meng Peiran took a sip, and the fragrance lingered on his lips and teeth, and he praised: "Good tea, Taixu Garden is really full of outstanding people, and there is no shortage of immortal products!"

Ye Ling smiled slightly and asked: "Taoist Meng, I wonder why you came here today?"

Meng Peiran said: "I heard that some disciples from Crimson Fire Peak came to Taixu Garden to cause trouble. All three of you were injured, so you came to visit and give them some healing elixirs."

As he spoke, Meng Peiran waved his sleeves and placed several vials filled with medicine on the table.

Behind Ye Ling, Wu Qing and Bai Wuyu also walked over and said, "Thank you, Taoist Master Meng, for your concern. Our injuries are almost healed."

"That's how it is," Meng Peiran lowered his eyebrows slightly and said, "It's just because I was in retreat a few days ago and didn't know about it, so I came too late."

Wu Qing smiled and said: "We accept Taoist Meng's kindness, and we would like to thank you for remembering us. If only..."

"Taoist Meng," Ye Ling interrupted Wu Qing and said, "If you have nothing to do, please come back. We still have to practice, so we can't keep you longer."

Ye Ling knew that Wu Qing had a pure heart, and even the slightest act of kindness by others could make him feel heartbroken and defenseless. But who knows if there is a evil intention hidden under this kind act?

Meng Peiran saw that Ye Ling had issued an order to expel guests, and it was not convenient for him to stay for a long time, so he stood up and said: "In that case, I will leave. If anything happens in the future, you can come to Yuanshui Peak to find me at any time. I will do my best to help you. In addition..."

As he spoke, Meng Peiran waved his sleeves, and ten low-grade spiritual stones appeared on the table.

"When we first met, I thanked you for accompanying me with a cup of fairy tea and half a stick of incense. These few spiritual stones are not respectful gifts as a return gift. I say goodbye!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the wind blew under Meng Peiran's feet, and he walked out of Taixu Garden in a few steps, drifting away without giving Ye Ling and others a chance to refuse.

After they left, Wu Qing complained a little to Ye Ling and said, "Second brother, I'm here with good intentions, but you are so cold to people. This is not the way to treat guests!"

Ye Ling sighed and said: "Third brother, I know your innocent nature and no deceit. If you trust others so easily, you will eventually be in danger. Have you forgotten that since we left Yunlan Town, we have suffered several disasters and are surrounded by dangers? . This world of monks is no better than ordinary people. You and I should be careful at all times and walk on thin ice, otherwise we will be doomed and die without a burial place!"

Bai Wuyu nodded at the side and said: "Senior Brother is right, people's hearts are sinister and cannot be guarded against. Second Senior Brother should be more grateful to his foresight."

Wu Qing couldn't explain them, let alone understand them, so she went back to the house.

Ye Ling asked Bai Wuyu: "How is Meng Peiran?"

Bai Wuyu said: "He is the leader among the disciples of Yuanshui Peak, and his cultivation has already reached the Lingxu realm. However, he is humble and steady in dealing with others. Even the peak master once praised him."

"Then why did he suddenly come to visit today and send a spiritual stone to express his goodwill?" Ye Ling couldn't understand. Although he is more understanding of people and the world than Wu Qing, he is not a well-rounded person after all, and there are some things that he cannot see through.

Bai Wuyu said: "Whatever, as long as we are in Taixu Garden, nothing will happen. You and the second senior brother are both in the Huiling Realm and need the spirit stones the most. Wouldn't it be just right if someone comes to deliver them? ?”

Ye Ling nodded and said, "But these ten spiritual stones are only a drop in the bucket. Is there any other way to get a large number of spiritual stones?"

Ye Ling needs a few low-grade spiritual stones to break through a level now. This is still the tenth level. If it reaches the tenth level in the future, wouldn't it take more than a dozen or even dozens of pieces to break through a level? Therefore, Ye Ling These days, I have been worrying about the spiritual stone.

Bai Wuyu said: "There will be tasks specially issued to disciples in the sect. If you complete the tasks, you will be rewarded with corresponding spiritual stones."

"Oh?" Ye Ling raised his eyebrows. He had never heard of this, but when he thought about it, it was just like getting a salary from work, except that this was not a permanent position, but rather a temporary or hourly job.

Bai Wuyu said: "Senior brother, if you want to earn spirit stones through this, you might as well pick some fairy grass from Taixu Garden and exchange it for spirit stones. It is faster and there is no danger."

Ye Ling nodded, but Bai Wuyu's proposal was not a long-term solution. If they point to the treasures of heaven and earth in Taixu Garden in exchange for spiritual stones, wouldn't they become unfilial descendants who sit back and ruin their family fortunes?

However, Ye Ling felt that he was not strong enough now and wanted to take on the sect mission after passing a few hurdles.

Therefore, Ye Ling said: "In that case, let's go to the garden to get some fairy grass first, exchange it for spiritual stones, and improve our strength. Later, we can exchange for spiritual stones by accepting sect tasks!"

Bai Wuyu forehead immediately took the medicine hoe and entered the garden with Ye Ling.

"This is Sanye Qingzhi, which is about a thousand years old..."

"This Green Dragon Ginseng is said to have been brought back by Master when he was traveling abroad. It is more than seven thousand years old. Master said that if it can grow to ten thousand years, it can give birth to consciousness..."

"And this, colorful moon orchid, very rare..."

Ye Ling listened to Bai Wuyu's words for a long time, but he was not willing to pick a single piece of fairy grass.

The natural materials and treasures in this garden are of good quality and have a long history. They are the best raw materials for making elixirs. No wonder the disciples in the sect are so jealous of the rare treasures in Taixu Garden, and Ye Ling is also reluctant to part with them, maybe they will be of great use in the future.

It was better for Bai Wuyu to find a thousand-year-old Cold Heart Fruit, pick four of them, and said: "These four Cold Heart Fruits should be able to exchange for one medium-grade spiritual stone and twenty low-grade spiritual stones, which is enough for two senior brothers." A period of cultivation in this world!”

Afterwards, Bai Wuyu transformed into a crane, put the four Cold Heart Fruits in the basket, held them in his mouth, and went down the mountain to exchange for the spiritual stones.

Not long after, Bai Wuyu returned to Taixu Garden and handed Ye Ling a middle-grade spiritual stone the size of a fist.

Holding it in his hand, Ye Ling could feel that the spiritual energy inside was extremely surging. It was not comparable to low-grade spiritual stones. If he had a few more mid-grade spiritual stones like this, his cultivation speed would be much faster.

Ye Ling felt something in his heart. Cultivating immortality and enlightenment would be even more difficult without the protection of the sect and relying on one's own efforts.

Every powerful monk relies on countless spiritual stones, pills, heavenly materials, and earthly treasures. If you want to obtain these resources, it will be difficult without a disciple from the sect.

Likewise, this is why the stronger each major sect becomes, the more outstanding the younger generation of disciples will be. With more resources than ordinary people, even two people with the same talent can advance much faster.

Not to mention that ordinary people, even if they have immortal bones, but have no fate, will live in mediocrity all their lives.

Ye Ling sent the remaining thirty pieces of low-grade spirit stones to Wu Qing's house, and then went back to practice himself. With a mid-grade spiritual stone that was comparable to a hundred low-grade spiritual stones, Ye Ling was confident that he could break through several more points and improve his strength.

On the wooden bed, Ye Ling's whole body was filled with spiritual energy, and his sharp edge was exposed. A bit of innate energy once again transformed into a vanguard general, taking the lead in attacking the magnificent golden pass...
