Three days later.
The group entered Anlu City.
The bustling streets are bustling with pedestrians.
Gu Dongdong, who had never left the mountain gate since he went up the mountain at the age of nine, was dazzled. He held Zhong Yan's big hand with a tender white hand and held it tightly.
It gave Zhong Yan the feeling of taking care of a child, and he felt a little guilty in his heart.
One place to go.
Gu Dongdong paused slightly, swallowed and said, "Husband, what is that? It smells so good!"
Yang Xinnian smiled and went to the roadside stall to buy specialty snacks.
Hearing the monks' discussion, the girl sent a message: "Husband, why do they say you are the king of soft rice? Do you mean you are very powerful?"
Zhong Yan: "..."
The corners of Yang Xinnian's mouth twitched, and he suppressed a smile and said, "Yes, my uncle is very powerful."
"Oh." The girl nodded, suspicious in her heart, feeling that the tone and expressions of the monks were not quite right.
Qi Lou and Li Chengyuan followed silently, hearing talk about the Five Elements Sect from time to time, and were shocked that the sect was gone.
Wandering all the way to the rental courtyard.
He Jinyan, who was wearing a white robe, greeted him with joy on his face: "Husband!"
Zhong Yan nodded with a smile and was waiting for introduction.
Gu Dongdong looked at He Jinyan's face, bowed and saluted: "Dong'er has met my sister."
He Jinyan had a look of understanding on his face and hurriedly stepped forward to help her up. He secretly said that she is such a delicate girl and smiled, "Sister, you don't need to be polite. My name is He Jinyan."
At this time.
Hearing the commotion, Zhong Qiyu and others walked out of their respective rooms and saluted in unison.
"My child meets his father!"
"Disciple has met Master!"
Zhong Yan smiled and said, "Everyone, get up."
After not seeing each other for two years, after some experience, the three of them have matured a lot and their cultivation has improved.
Zhong Qi is at the eighth level of Qi refining, Xiao Qian is at the ninth level, and Zhong Qi is weaker at the sixth level.
Gu Dongdong's expression tightened, and he sent a message to Yang Xinnian: "Senior sister, do I have to give you a gift for the meeting? What should I do if I don't prepare it?"
Yang Xinnian replied: "It doesn't matter, my uncle has many heirs. It won't be too late to give them away when we get to Qingyang. Then we will go to the market to pick out some gifts."
A group of people introduced it.
Zhong Yan looked at a woman standing not far away. She had three levels of aura, her face was filled with vitality, and she was wearing an ordinary-looking mask.
"Oh." He Jinyan reacted and moved to wave his hand: "Husband, this is Fellow Taoist Song Lingyue."
The woman stepped forward and cupped her hands: "Friend Zhong Dao."
Zhong Yan returned the gesture: "Hello."
Afterwards, He Jinyan arranged for everyone to stay and rest.
In the training room.
Zhong Yan and the five people gathered together.
He Jinyan reported Song Lingyue's origins in detail.
"A year ago, we encountered two Overlord Sect disciples in the swamp who were blocking the road and robbing her. We met her while escaping and got her involved. Then we worked together to repel the enemy. We were separated at that time..."
"Two months later, when we were buying elixirs in Izumomeng Swamp, we saw her in a valley outside Luoyun Town. She was seriously injured and fell into a coma in a haystack. We rescued her..."
"After that, we walked together and learned that she was a casual cultivator in Anlu City. I had been to her home and was familiar with many of the neighbors where she lived. There was no sign of fabrication..."
"After more contact with her later, I gradually became familiar with her. She was a true spiritual root. She was in her forties. She was in the second level of Foundation Establishment when we first met her. There was a Taoist companion who died..."
"I did not tell her our specific identities. I only said that we come from an ordinary Foundation-building family, and there are late-stage Foundation-building monks in the family..."
"I have seen her true face. She is extremely beautiful, comparable to Sister Ziyi. She is very eye-catching, so she wears a mask all day long."
"I feel that this person has a kind heart, good qualifications and fighting ability. Now he is alone. I can recruit him as a guest, or..."
He Jinyan smiled and continued: "Husband, what do you think? I tried it with a joke, and she seems to be interested in leaving Anlu."
Zhong Yan looked at the three children.
Xiao Qian nodded and said, "Disciple thinks she is indeed a nice person."
Zhong Qiquan echoed: "The second level of foundation building can fight the third level. It has strong combat power. If you have enough resources, you should be able to improve quickly and become a great helper."
Zhong Qiyu pursed his lips and said, "The second encounter was a bit of a coincidence, but the first time we ran rampant, broke into her resting place, and dragged her into the battle, we didn't find anything unusual."
Zhong Yan asked: "She has true spiritual roots, why didn't she join the sect?"
He Jinyan said: "Like Sister Qingyao, she used to be a disciple of the Danxia Sect."
Zhong Yan nodded, pondered for a moment and said, "Ask her what she means."
"Good husband."
He Jinyan smiled, got up and went out.
Zhong Yan looked at Xiao Qian and Zhong Qiquan: "We will return tomorrow. Qiquan and Qianqian will stay here. What do you think?"
The two of them were stunned for a moment, and Zhong Qiquan quickly asked: "Dad, why are we staying here?"
Zhong Yandao: "Reliance on your own, you can be a casual cultivator, you can join the family as a guest minister, or you can join the sect. It is up to you to voluntarily understand and collect information from all parties in the practice world for a period of ten years. During this period, the family will not give any help."
The two of them looked at each other, with some excitement still in their eyes. They clasped their fists and said in unison: "My children (disciples) will obey the arrangements of my father (master)!"
Zhong Yan took the two people's storage bags and spirit beast bags into his hands, scanned them, and confiscated many resources, leaving only one combat magic weapon and one flying magic weapon each, as well as a small amount of elixirs and spiritual stones. .
The two looked at each other.
Zhong Yan waved his hand: "Go now."
After leaving the courtyard of their residence and walking a few hundred meters, they stood at a street intersection and looked at the pedestrians. The excitement in their hearts disappeared and they were a little confused for a moment.
"Sister Qianqian, where are we going?"
Xiao Qian, who had just turned nineteen, was undecided. After thinking for a while, she took a breath and said:
"Become a casual cultivator. You can move freely. First go to Fangshi to prepare some elixirs, and then go around Yunmeng Swamp to earn money first."
"good!"
The two of them walked away.
Zhong Qiquan thought about it in his mind and said: "I didn't think it before, but now I have to rely on myself. Only then did I realize how difficult it is to earn spiritual stones.
You are about to build a foundation. A foundation-building pill with no Dao pattern costs two thousand spirit stones. How long will it last?
Don't wait until then. Ten years have passed and we have made little progress and were laughed at by other brothers and sisters. "
Xiao Qian turned around and glanced, then reached out and patted the young man on the shoulder: "It's okay, sister, I'll protect you!"
Zhong Qiquan snorted: "No, you're not much older than me!"
…
Training room.
He Jinyan came back and said with a smile: "Husband, after talking about the treatment, she is willing to come into the house as a guest. Now she is going back to pack her bags. I also mentioned soul searching, and she agreed after hesitation."
Zhong Yan nodded: "Then let's go together."
He Jinyan stepped forward, put his arms around the man's legs and hugged his neck, and said with a smile: "Husband, do you have to remember Yan'er's contribution to help you find such a beauty? When you see her true face, you will definitely be amazed, really , on the same level as Sister Ziyi and Sister Xiaohuan..."
Saying that, He Jinyan, who had been dry for a long time, began to move his hands up and down.
Zhong Yan had a thought and let her do what she did. He took out the talisman from the storage bag and sent a message to Qiu Mingyue.
"Friend Zhong Dao! It's rare that you can still think of me. What advice can you give me?"
"Miss you."
"Don't come here, you thought it would take me so many years to contact you?"
"Hiss~" Zhong Yan lowered his eyes and said, "Let me ask you something. Do you know Song Lingyue? He used to be a disciple of Danxia Sect."
He Jinyan raised his face and licked his lips with a smile, then lowered his head and continued to suck it in his mouth, continuing to moan.
Qiu Mingyue replied: "I know, why, she is still alive? Have you seen her?"
Zhong Yan: "Be specific."
Qiu Mingyue: "I'm not familiar with her. I've only met her a few times. Not long after she entered the sect, the sect was attacked by the Five Elements Sect. I was deeply impressed only because she was beautiful and was known as the most beautiful woman in the sect... What's your voice over there? ?”
Zhong Yan: "I know, keep in touch."
Qiu Mingyue: "You really know how to play! Use me to increase the fun?!"
Zhong Yan: “Let’s do it together next time.”
Qiu Mingyue made a sound: "Get out!"
End of arraignment.
Zhong Yan pulled the person up and spun around.
Poof!
He Jinyan exclaimed: "Oh~"
…
