Cheng Ling heard Liu Ming talking about Fairy Island and looked towards the sea. I saw a pier in front of me, and there were many ships plying on the sea. It was an endless stream and it was very lively.
Looking further into the distance, we can see the lush green of the island. The area is also very large. Cheng Ling can't even see the seaside while standing on the boat. The entire island spreads out horizontally, like a small piece of land.
He took a deep breath, looked at the blue sky, and felt the rich spiritual energy of heaven and earth, which was even better than the environment of Wuxiang Sword Sect.
Cheng Ling nodded with satisfaction. Such a place was just right for him to improve his cultivation and hide his whereabouts. Looking at the ships passing by, there must be millions of monks on the island!
The ship slowly approached the dock, and Liu Wenlin ordered: "Liu Ming, go back first and let the people from Dan Pavilion carry the materials. Cheng Ling, please go home with me first!"
Liu Ming responded and jumped onto the pier before the boat stopped, heading all the way towards Dan Pavilion.
Liu Wenlin pulled Liu Xi, and Cheng Ling followed them, also walked onto the pier and walked towards the depths of the island.
Along the way from the pier, Cheng Ling saw many monks. All of them were wearing weapons and rushing back and forth. They were completely inconsistent with the robbers and bandits described by the fishermen.
Liu Wenlin said: "There are many monks on Fairy Island, of which 70% are local monks, and the rest are foreign monks. Some of them work on the island, and some come to trade some materials. If they don't take the initiative to provoke them, it's normal. I won’t do anything to you either.”
Cheng Ling replied: "Yes, thank you very much, Deacon Liu, for your advice."
Liu Wenlin was very satisfied with Cheng Ling's reaction and continued: "You are very smart and very kind to Xixi. Don't be afraid when you meet the head of the house and the lady later. As long as you abide by the rules, they will not make things difficult for you."
"yes!"
"As for your parents, I don't know their names. I will help you find out when I have time."
Cheng Ling had no choice but to name two names casually, expecting that he would not be able to find them.
Liu Wenlin silently noted it down and said: "You are still young, so I'm afraid you won't be able to do ordinary heavy work. Let the master of the house assign it to you after you meet him!"
Cheng Ling was so happy that she hurriedly bowed and said, "Thank you, Deacon Liu, for taking care of me. I will definitely abide by the rules!"
Liu Wenlin nodded and said no more.
The three of them walked forward and soon came to a group of buildings. Chen Wenlin and his two children walked into the building complex.
After entering, we saw a large market with a long street in the middle dividing the market in half.
The long street is so wide that ten cars can pass through it side by side. There are many street stalls along the street on both sides. Behind the street stalls, there are many courtyards, attics, and shops, which is very prosperous.
Liu Wenlin led the two children through the long street and stopped in front of a shop in the middle.
Cheng Ling looked up and saw that the outer wall of the shop was about twenty feet wide, which was quite a large area in the market.
The shop faces the long street, with a row of ten-entry wooden doors open, and a store sign hanging in the middle with the four characters "Liu's Alchemy Shop" written on it.
As soon as the three of them entered the store, a receptionist came up to them, bowed and said, "Deacon Liu is back. It's been a hard journey."
Liu Wenlin nodded and asked, "Are the master and the young lady here?"
The waiter replied: "Here, the master was entertaining distinguished guests with his young lady just now. Now he should be testing medicinal materials in the backyard!"
Liu Wenlin turned to Cheng Ling and said, "Then let's go see the master and the miss first!"
Cheng Ling said: "But it's up to Deacon Liu to make the decision!"
Liu Wenlin nodded and led the two children through the medicine hall and towards the backyard.
As soon as I walked through the medicine hall, my eyes suddenly opened up. There was a large garden in the backyard. Many herbs were planted in the garden, and there were some scattered flowers.
In the center of the garden, there is a small lake with a radius of five feet. The lake is dotted with several rockeries and fountains, making it seem quiet but dynamic.
A winding corridor crosses the lake and extends to the backyard. Several pavilions are built on the corridor. The entire garden is very quiet and elegant. It is obvious that the owner of this place has a lot of ambitions in mind.
Liu Wenlin took his two children to the foot of several large willow trees in the garden. Cheng Ling saw an elegant middle-aged man and a twelve or thirteen-year-old girl sitting at a round stone table.
There were several baskets of herbs placed on the stone table, and the little girl was holding an herb and observing it carefully.
After Liu Wenlin arrived, he didn't speak. He just stood aside and looked at the little girl quietly. Even Liu Xi was patient and said nothing.
After looking at it for a while, the little girl said: "This should be fragrant grass. Although it is very similar to mugwort, the subtleties are still different."
The middle-aged man smiled happily and said, "Yes, Yun'er is getting better and better now."
Only then did Liu Wenlin intervene: "What I'm saying is that my lady's knowledge of herbal medicine has improved greatly recently."
The little girl stood up Yingying, bowed and said, "Thank you, Uncle Lin. I still have a lot to learn from you."
Only then did Cheng Ling see her appearance clearly. He saw that she was wearing a pink jumpsuit, with long shiny black hair that went down to her waist. Her face had a slight blush, and she looked a little childish.
Under the long eyelashes, a pair of dark eyes are extremely lively, with a small nose and slightly parted cherry lips.
Cheng Ling stared at it for a while and thought to herself, what a delicate and beautiful girl. Could this be the legendary top lolita?
The middle-aged man looked at her fondly, then turned his head and said, "Xiao Xixi went out with her father to purchase materials. Did she have fun this time? Hey, why is there a little boy?"
Liu Wenlin said: "Master, this is the little boy I accepted halfway. He is here to look for his parents. I saw that he was pitiful so I kept him so that he could be a companion for Xiao Xi."
"Oh, that's it. Then has he found his parents?"
"not yet!"
The middle-aged man asked Cheng Ling, "Young man, what is your name?"
Cheng Ling had no choice but to pretend to be a good boy and said, "I've met you, sir. My name is Cheng Ling."
"Well, he is a good and polite boy, but you practice Taoism?
In order to avoid trouble, Cheng Ling used breath-condensing techniques to hide the fluctuations in spiritual power on his body along the way. What was revealed was only his early stage of Qi training.
He then replied: "My father once taught a swordsmanship."
The middle-aged man said: "Okay, then you can stay with Yun'er and Xiao Xi from now on! If you need anything, just tell Deacon Liu."
"Yes, Mr. Xie, Miss Xie!"
Liu Yun looked at Cheng Ling. It was her first time getting along with someone of the opposite sex similar to her own age, and she was very curious.
The middle-aged man said again: "Wen Lin, just take him down first and settle down!"
Liu Wenlin responded and left with the two children.
In this way, Cheng Ling settled down at Liu's Alchemy Shop. Every day, I just play with Liu Yun and Liu Xi.
Liu Yun spent several hours studying herbal medicine on weekdays. Over time, Cheng Ling's knowledge of herbal medicine gradually increased.
There are many differences between Fairy Island and the mainland. The herbs grown here are difficult to find on the mainland. He has broadened his knowledge.
Sometimes he is called to help in the store. For Cheng Ling, being a store clerk is a piece of cake.
Every time, he shows off his true nature as a liar, talking to the customers until they are dizzy, and unknowingly buys a lot of elixirs. When he is around, the sales volume always increases sharply.
Liu Wenlin also valued him more and more, and once wanted to accept him as his disciple and teach him the method of alchemy. But Cheng Ling knew that his time was already very tight.
Not only do they need to deduce the formations, but they also need to improve their cultivation. They also have to spend most of the day with Liu Yun and Liu Xi. They can only use their parents as a shield and argue that they must first inform their parents before they can become a disciple.
Liu Wenlin thought the same thing. Masters and apprentices in this world are not like those on earth. The relationship is very strict. Once the relationship is confirmed, it is not much worse than that of his parents.
Time flies, and a year has passed in the blink of an eye. Cheng Ling's cultivation has been improved to the foundation building perfection, and the formation path has also been deduced to the peak of the fourth level.
Over the past year, he had a very harmonious relationship with everyone in the Liu family, and the two little girls Liu Yun and Liu Xi also relied on him.
But at this time, he decided to leave this place temporarily and find a place to attack the golden elixir stage.
Breaking through the golden elixir is different from breaking through the foundation building. He has to go through the thunder tribulation, and he can't survive it in Liu's elixir shop.
He just wanted to find an opportunity to leave the island, survive the Jindan Thunder Tribulation and then come back. But how should I tell Liu Wenlin?
After much deliberation, I can only borrow the name of "father and mother" one more time.
He found Liu Wenlin and said, "Uncle Lin, I recently received news that someone has seen my parents on a nearby island. I want to go find them."
Liu Wenlin said: "You are still young, how can you go out alone? If there is an accident, how can I explain it to your parents? Let's do this. In one month, I will go out to purchase medicinal materials. Can I accompany you then?" "
Cheng Ling had a headache. Liu Wenlin was kind-hearted and was very kind to the shop assistants, and he took good care of himself.
And what he said made sense. It was definitely not safe for a thirteen-year-old kid to go out alone to find his parents. Even if it were him, he would not agree.
But if he was by his side, how could he survive the disaster? I could only curse God again in my heart for being blind for allowing my spirit to pass through the body of a little kid.
He could only give up and return to his guest room listlessly.
Because of Liu Wenlin's care, he was assigned a separate guest room, which made it convenient for him to do many things.
After returning to the guest room, I thought of many strategies in my mind, but they always felt unreliable. In the end, I had no choice but to give up. Since the secret path cannot break through the golden elixir, let's break through the formation path first!
He took out a few spiritual stones and started to deduce it again. Maybe there was some blessing from heaven, but just when he had no choice but to give up, his consciousness caught sight of Liu Yun walking hurriedly towards his guest room.
Liu Yun has a quieter temperament and is much more ladylike than Liu Xi. It is rare to see her acting in such a hurry.
Now she is fourteen years old, her figure is gradually growing, and she is becoming more and more beautiful. Recently, Liu Wenxiao is making arrangements to get her engaged.
Forgot to introduce, Liu Wenxiao is the head of the Liu family and Liu Yun's father. Because of this, Liu Yun complained to him several times. She must have been forced to panic again today!
Cheng Ling shook his head and smiled bitterly, then stood up and went to open the door. It seemed that he would be unable to deduce the formation this afternoon.
As soon as the door opened, Liu Yun rushed in and said happily: "Cheng Ling, my father is going to attend an auction outside the island, and he said he would take us with him. We can finally go out and see the world!"
Cheng Ling was overjoyed. Now that she had left Fairy Island, she was worried that she wouldn't have a chance to escape. If she really wanted to sleep, someone would give her a pillow!
