Because Qin Yunchuan and Mu Jingyu had been walking in the mountains for a whole day. Not only was I physically and mentally exhausted, but I also suffered some cold and fright, which made me feel a little unwell the next day.
Zhou Wenyi specifically asked Fan He and Wu Kangnian to keep their private entry into the Inner Five Peaks secret and not to disclose it to others. At the same time, he told the two of them to let Qin Yunchuan and Mu Jingyu rest for the next two days and recuperate their health, and not to listen to the sermon in the hall for the time being.
Fan He and Wu Kangnian were just two small coaches in Shaoyang Peak. Naturally, they did not dare to disobey the orders of Zhou Wenyi and Guo Qingshan.
Although Mu Jingyu is young, he is still a child who grew up in the mountains, and his body is relatively strong. After resting for a day, my spirit was completely restored.
Qin Yunchuan's cultivation level was much higher than that of Mu Jingyu. He didn't feel any discomfort at all when he woke up from his sleep. Since Wu Kangnian had received Zhou Wenyi's instructions, he was exempted from going to Zunyi Hall to listen to the sermon, and his wish was fulfilled. He hid in his room and began to refine the medicine seriously.
After two days passed, he actually refined five first-grade elixirs. He was so excited that he couldn't sleep well all night. Early in the morning, I arrived outside Shaoyang Peak with two dark circles under my eyes.
Today is the day when disciples of the Jiuhua Sect go out for fun once a month. The outer disciples of Shaoyang Peak had washed up early, gathered in small groups, and followed Fan He and Wu Kangnian to the mountain gate at the foot of Shaoyang Peak.
More than two hundred people had already gathered under the tall Qingxiao Yumen, and they were all outer disciples of Shaoyang Peak. It's just that he is a few years older than the disciples of Zhishou Hall and Zunyi Hall.
In the Jiuhua Sect, nearly a hundred young people are recruited every year to enter Shaoyang Peak to practice and become outer disciples of the Jiuhua Sect. Because these disciples entered the mountain at different times, they were naturally assigned to different halls to listen to the Tao and practice. When three years have passed, they will go to the Qingxiao Platform on Tianjue Peak to conduct the assessment for entry-level disciples. Once passed, they will be selected by the other peaks and become official disciples of the Jiuhua Sect. Those who fail the assessment will remain in Feilu and Shaoyang Peaks and become outer disciples.
Only if one can make great progress in his cultivation in the future, will he be able to be accepted by the peaks again and become an inner disciple. However, once these outer disciples are assigned to these two peaks, it proves that their qualifications are too low, and it is basically difficult for them to become inner disciples again.
The Jiuhua Sect will generally dismiss those young people with poor qualifications who are not even qualified to become an outer disciple. However, the selection of outer disciples of the Jiuhua Sect is extremely strict. There are very few disciples like this who are still sent away by Jiuhua after practicing for three years. There are only one or two every year.
By the time the disciples from Zhishou and Zunyi Hall arrived in front of Yuxiao Gate, those senior brothers and sisters who had entered the mountain a year or two before them had been waiting for a long time.
Zhou Wenyi stood under the magnificent Yuxiao Gate with his hands folded. He glanced at the young men and saw that everyone was here before coughing twice. The originally noisy Jiuhua Mountain Gate suddenly became quiet.
"Today, you are going to visit the three cities of Heyang, Yiyang, and Huayang, but you must remember the sect rules of our Jiuhua sect. You must not bully others or cause trouble. If anyone violates the sect rules, he will be punished when he comes back. I will definitely punish you severely!"
In order to prevent all these outer disciples from having fun in one city, the Jiuhua Sect specially selected three towns near Jiuhua Mountain for them to go separately. The disciples Zhishou and Zunyi who had just entered Jiuhua were assigned to play in Huayang City today.
Of course, in order to prevent them from misbehaving after going out, the Jiuhua Sect has specially promulgated some extremely strict sect rules to restrict their behavior after going out.
After Zhou Wenyi repeated these sect rules again, he ordered the young men to prepare to go together.
In order for these outer disciples with low cultivation level to rush to the city quickly, the Jiuhua Sect specially prepared dozens of Chuma chariots specifically for the use of these outer disciples. After all, these three towns are dozens of miles away from Jiuhua Mountain. It would take half a day for these young men with low cultivation level to go there alone.
Although these Chu horses are undoubtedly the same in appearance as ordinary horses, they are much taller than ordinary horses. The fur all over the body is not like that of ordinary horses, which are mostly black and white, but mostly red and blue.
According to legend, these Chu horses are the offspring of the ancient mythical beast Kira and Liangju. Because its body shape, endurance and other aspects are far superior to ordinary horses, it is loved by all sects.
The carriages that this Chu horse can pull are also relatively large. Each carriage can accommodate seven or eight teenagers without being particularly crowded.
There were about seventy or eighty disciples in Zhishou and Zunyi halls, so Zhou Wenyi allocated ten Chu horse-drawn carriages for their use.
As soon as Zhou Wenyi finished speaking, more than thirty people in Zhishou Hall all rushed to the Chu horse carriage assigned to them. Mu Jingyu didn't have any close disciples in Zhishou Hall, so he naturally had no choice but to look for Qin Yunchuan.
"Ah! Brother Qin, what's wrong with your eyes?" Looking at Qin Yunchuan's black and swollen eyes, Mu Jingyu couldn't help but screamed and asked quickly.
Qin Yunchuan said, "It's okay, it's okay. I've been busy refining medicine for the past two days, so I didn't have a good rest."
As he spoke, he pulled Mu Jingyu aside mysteriously, reached out and opened a gap in his clothes, revealing a small bulging cloth bag inside.
"Hehehe, brother, it took me two days and one night to refine these five first-grade elixirs. I was so excited that I didn't sleep well all night, and then I came out with a pair of black eyes."
Mu Jingyu asked, "How many taels of silver can you sell for the elixir you spent so much effort refining in the city?"
Qin Yunchuan stretched out his palm, turned it back and forth four times and replied, "These pills all have some effects on strengthening the body and bones. Although they are not very useful for those of us who are cultivating immortals, they are extremely useful for ordinary people." It's useful. When we get it to the drugstore in the city, we can sell it for twenty taels of silver at least. It will be enough for us brothers to have a good time in Huayang City."
"Ah! Just a few small pills can be sold for twenty taels of silver!" Mu Jingyu exclaimed with his mouth wide open in shock when he heard that they could be sold for so much silver.
You know, in the Mujia Village where he was located, the family's hard work for a year earned only more than ten taels of silver. When I heard that these few small pills could equal a family's income for two to three years, I suddenly felt incredible.
Qin Yunchuan put his arm around Mu Jingyu's shoulders and said with a smile, "Look, look, I'm scaring you with just this money! When my brother and I can refine the third- and fourth-grade elixirs, I'll sell them There’s more silver.”
Then, Qin Yunchuan patted his chest and continued, "Of course, I won't treat you badly when I get the money. When the time comes, I will give you half of it. After all, half of your contribution is in these pills."
Mu Jingyu waved his hands repeatedly and said, "No, you have worked so hard to refine these elixirs. I just went to the mountains with you for a while, and I can't get so much money from you."
"Hey! Since we are brothers, we naturally share the blessings and hardships. How am I, Qin Yunchuan, the kind of person who doesn't care about brotherhood!"
After returning from Inner Five Peaks, the relationship between the two of them had unknowingly become extremely close after a day of hardships.
Mu Jingyu also regarded Qin Yunchuan as a real big brother in his heart.
Hearing the true words from the heart, I felt infinitely moved in my heart. I tried my best to squeeze back the tears that were about to overflow from the corners of my eyes, and held his palm with force.
"Hahaha, since Brother Qin recognizes me as his brother. How can I have a pretentious character!"
The two of them held their palms together tightly, looked at each other, and laughed.
In just this moment, the more than ten Chu horse-drawn carriages assigned to Zhishou and Zunyi Hall were already full of people. Qin Yunchuan and Mu Jingyu passed seven or eight carriages in a row, but there was no place for them all.
"Jingyu, can't you find a seat?" At this moment, a soft and delicate voice came from not far away.
When the two heard the news, they saw a girl wearing a bright yellow skirt, riding on a blue luan bird, looking at Mu Jingyu and the two with a shy look. It was Su Yingying, the adopted granddaughter of Master Lingyang who was a disciple of Zhishoutang like Mu Jingyu.
Although, the Jiuhua Sect provided some Chu horse carriages for the use of these outer disciples. However, after all, these carriages were a bit crowded and not very comfortable when filled with people. Therefore, some disciples, such as Su Yingying, Han Yao, Zhou Yan, etc., have mounts provided by their own families or elders in the sect for daily travel.
"Hey, Senior Sister Su, you haven't left yet." Mu Jingyu never wanted to have too much contact with Su Yingying because of Han Yao, but she seemed to be quite interested in him and often talked to him. At this meeting, she took the initiative to call him out, so it was hard to ignore her.
Su Yingying nodded and said, "Well, I was ready to leave. However, I saw that you didn't seem to find the carriage. So, I just wanted to..."
"So, you want to invite this handsome boy to ride with you, become a couple of gods, and go to Huayang City together?"
Before Su Yingying could finish speaking, a fiery red figure stopped beside her. Zhou Yan, who was dressed in red, looked at Su Yingying with a hint of teasing, tilting her head.
The latter was so upset by what he said that his face suddenly turned red, and a blush spread from his cheeks to his snow-white neck.
"I, I, I just saw that Jingyu didn't find a place, and couldn't bear that he couldn't come to the city to play. This is just the invitation, and there is absolutely no other meaning. Sister Yan'er, please don't talk nonsense!"
"Hey, hey, I really didn't realize when you were so nice to these stinky men!" Zhou Yan said with a smile, "Why don't I give this green Luan bird to them. I will avoid having to deal with you. Let’s ride together, I wonder if Miss Su will agree or not?”
Su Yingying said shyly, "Sister Yan, if you do this again, I will ignore you in the future!"
Zhou Yan laughed a few times, then retracted his legs that were about to fall, and shouted to Mu Jingyu and the two who were still standing, "Hey, that silly boy, since a beauty invites you to ride with me, What are you doing standing around, are you really waiting for someone to come over and hug you?"
Qin Yunchuan teased Mu Jingyu and said in a low voice, "Jingyu, since Miss Su has invited you, you can't be too coy to agree!"
"Ah?" Mu Jingyu quickly covered his mouth and said, "Brother Qin, please stop teasing me. Su Yingying is the adopted granddaughter of Master Ling Yang. I, a child from the mountains, cannot reach such heights."
In the past few days, Han Yao had been causing trouble for him because he and Su Yingying were too close. Mu Jingyu didn't want to cause any more trouble. Moreover, he is also very self-aware. Even if Su Yingying really had some affection for him, she would not dare to agree.
Qin Yunchuan waved his hands at the two of them and said, "Miss Su, since you invited Jingyu, I will agree on his behalf. But don't throw him down from mid-air on the way!"
"Brother Qin, you..." Mu Jingyu didn't expect that Qin Yunchuan would suddenly agree for him. Just as he was about to refuse out loud, he was dragged in front of the two of them.
"Miss Su, since Jingyu has sat on your Qingluan Bird, you have left me alone. I wonder if you can make room for me to sit on this spiritual beast too."
Su Yingying rolled her eyes and suddenly showed a sly smile. She pointed at Zhou Yan's mount beside her and chuckled, "My Qingluan bird can't seat three people. Since Senior Brother Qin also wants to come with us, why not Let’s take Sister Yan’er’s one. I just don’t know, do you dare or not?”
