The demons were very strong, and there were still snakes around, so Qin Shu was worried...these monks from the world of immortality were going so rashly, even if they had the demon-clearing pill in hand, they still wouldn't get any benefits.
Master Lingxu looked at Qin Shu's solemn look, then sighed and said: "Shu'er, I know your concerns, but this step... we have to take it sooner or later. We don't want to explore the devil world. It’s always a passive situation.”
Qin Shu was silent. She knew that Master Lingxu's words were right, but according to Xie Shiyuan, it was the body of Tan Snake in the demon world, and besides him, there might be other divine beasts.
Compared to these mythical beasts that have lived for who knows how many years, the monks in their world of cultivating immortals are still somewhat inferior in background.
Qin Shu thought for a moment, and finally decided to tell everything she knew about the situation. When the time comes, whatever choice the seniors make will be their decision.
Qin Shu straightened her expression and looked up at Master Lingxu.
"Master, this disciple has something to say."
Master Lingxu learned about a new demon world for the first time from Qin Shu's mouth. Qin Shu described to him the demon world she had seen from Xie Shiyuan's memory, and expelled those mythical beasts to the demon world. Now she plans to pull the immortal world He also told him his plan to become a demon together with the upper world.
Master Lingxu was shocked when he heard this. It wasn't until Qin Shu finished speaking that he asked: "Shu'er, how do you know this?"
Qin Shu smiled and said, "This disciple has been traveling for many years, so he has some experience now."
Master Lingxu didn't have time to joke with her at the moment, and his brows were almost twisted into knots.
After a long time, he said: "That's it, you go back, I'll go find the leader to discuss it."
Qin Shu nodded in agreement, "Lu Jin is still waiting for me outside. Disciple, take the first step."
She stood up and walked out of the cave of Master Lingxu. When she saw Lu Jin, he was standing in the yard waiting for her. When he saw her coming out, he happily came over in three steps at a time.
"Have we finished talking? Can we go back?"
Qin Shu responded, "Well, let's go back first."
This was the first time for Lu Jin to come to Qin Shu's cave. She looked at the furnishings and layout in the courtyard curiously, and felt that Qin Shu's cave was a little too... original.
Qin Shu sat down on the stone bench nearby, looked up at Lu Jin, and asked, "Don't you want to discuss Taoism with me? Tell me."
Lu Jin: "?"
She said it casually to fool her father, why did Qin Shu take it seriously?
"Are you serious?" Lu Jin pursed his lips and looked at Qin Shu with a complicated expression.
Qin Shu raised her eyebrows, "If you're not serious, why should I bring you back? To play?"
Lu Jin: "..."
"I brought a few new gadgets to keep you interested." As Lu Jin spoke, he raised his hand and touched his storage bracelet.
Qin Shu interrupted her directly, "No, no, no, I'm only interested in the Taoist teachings you teach."
Lu Jin: "..."
Qin Shu looked at her deflated appearance and added, "Swordsmanship is also good."
Lu Jin pursed his lips and sat down opposite her as if resigned to his fate, "Okay, okay, let's talk. I've reached a bottleneck in my practice and haven't been able to break through. My brother said that my state of mind has not broken through, otherwise I should be close to Nascent Soul. "
Qin Shu had noticed it early and asked her, "What kind of Tao do you practice?"
When Qin Shu asked, Lu Jin also fell silent.
What way do you practice? She doesn't even know...
She has never taken it seriously since she started practicing. At first, she wanted to join the same master as senior brother Suihan.
Later, she practiced so that Senior Brother Suihan would look at her one more time, and later, it was to make Senior Brother Suihan look at her one more time... Until now...
Qin Shu had told her before that the purpose of practicing was to make herself stronger and to have more choices in her limited life.
But what exactly is the Tao she cultivates? She still doesn't know.
Lu Jin's brows furrowed more and more tightly. The two of them sat face to face, but no one spoke.
Qin Shu was not anxious that she could give the answer so quickly. Most people in this world were actually confused, but when they had time, they still had to ask themselves about their true intentions.
What path do you practice? What is your original intention?
After a long time, three days passed, and Lu Jin, who was sitting opposite Qin Shu like a wooden sculpture, raised his head and said to her: "What I cultivate should be the way of the true self."
Qin Shu came back to her senses, looked at Lu Jin who looked serious in front of her, and asked, "Are you sure?"
Lu Jin nodded, "I'm sure. I never knew what I wanted to do at the beginning, nor why I practiced. I even felt that my life revolved around Senior Brother Suihan. But now, you tell me, only Only by improving my cultivation can I have more choices, and my thoughts have begun to change. Now, I practice hard not for others, but for myself."
Qin Shu raised the corners of her lips slightly after listening to her words.
It’s great that she can have this kind of awareness. The way of true self is to practice only for yourself.
"Yes, if you can think this through clearly, it's time for your state of mind to break through."
Qin Shu stood up, and Lu Jin quickly stood up as well, and listened to Qin Shu's instructions: "You practice here first, and I'll go out."
Lu Jin frowned and asked, "Where are you going?"
"I'm going to Qi Sect. I haven't finished this year's mission yet."
Lu Jin thought for a while, but finally didn't follow. When she asked just now, she suddenly felt that the bottleneck that had troubled her was loosening. Now, striking while the iron was hot, it would not be long before she could break through.
When Qin Shu came out of Lingxiao Peak, she did not go directly to Qi Sect. Instead, she went to find You Zijin.
According to You Zijin's temperament, he hasn't come to see her yet, and I don't know if he went out to practice?
After all, she had promised Mr. You to help look after You Zijin, so she still went to the outer door to take a look.
She still didn't see You Zijin this time, but she learned from other colleagues that You Zijin had gone into seclusion.
The monks often stayed in seclusion for ten or eight years, but Qin Shu didn't find it strange, so she turned around and left.
Just when she reached the square, Qin Shu unexpectedly ran into an acquaintance she hadn't seen for a long time.
"Qian Ning?" Qin Shu called him.
Qian Ning was watching two fellow students discussing Taoism in the square. He turned around when he heard someone calling him.
At this glance, he saw Qin Shu falling from the sky.
"Qin!" His eyes suddenly lit up and he stood up.
"Qin! Are you back?"
Qin Shu's consciousness swept over Qian Ning's body, and she could see that he was now at the Nascent Soul stage. Sure enough, it would be more useful for his Tianling roots to stay in Dongzhou.
Qin Shu nodded, "Well, I just came back not long ago. How are you at Xuantianmen? Can you still adapt to it?"
Qian Ning laughed, "My aunt taught me Dongzhou's language and many living habits, and I have adapted well now."
Qin Shu looked at the smile on his face. Although it could still be seen that he was a bit immature, she could clearly see that he was more calm now than when she first met him in Zhongzhou. .
"Has your mother been looking for you?" Qin Shu asked.
Qian Ning thought of something, frowned, and sent a message to Qin Shu: "Qin, I received a message from my mother, but I didn't tell her where I am now. There's just one thing I want to tell you. .My mother said that today’s Central Continent has been completely eroded by demonic energy. Now only the Holy See is under the blessing of the Supreme God, and the demonic energy cannot enter for the time being.”
Qin Shu's face became serious when she heard what he said.
Although Central Continent is far away from their East Continent, if Central Continent is completely fallen, the pressure on their East Continent will also increase accordingly.
Perhaps because Qin Shu's face was too solemn, Qian Ning added: "I have informed the sect and asked the elders to make plans in advance, just in case."
Qin Shu's expression softened slightly, then she looked at Qian Ning and said, "That makes me feel relieved. I have to go to Qizong. Let's sit down and reminisce about old times when we're free."
Qian Ning agreed and watched Qin Shu leave in a hurry.
At this time, the senior brothers around him came over curiously and asked: "Qian Ning, do you know our junior sister Qin Shu?"
Qian Ning nodded, "She was the one who introduced me to Xuantianmen when I joined him."
As soon as these words came out, a little envy filled the eyes of others.
"No wonder you are so powerful, Junior Sister Qin Shu is very powerful."
"Yes, indeed everyone knows powerful people."
…
Qian Ning quickly shook his head, "Qin is still more powerful, my qualifications are not as good as hers."
Others did not refute his words, and obviously everyone thought so too.
At this time, a young disciple suddenly asked: "What do you think Senior Sister Qin Shu is doing now?"
As soon as these words came out, the surroundings suddenly became quiet for a moment, and everyone looked at each other in confusion.
After a while, someone said tentatively: "Mid-stage out-of-body experience?"
The others all looked at him, and at this moment he also doubted himself.
"Am I... guessing too conservatively?"
The classmate who was with him raised his hand and put it on his shoulder, and said with a smile: "Either we should stop guessing."
As soon as this was said, everyone laughed.
"Yes, we can't keep up with him. Let's practice ourselves."
"Yes, please help me, my fellow disciples, to take a look at my move and see if there is still room for improvement?"
"Let me help you see."
"Let's go."
…
The square returned to its previous bustle, and Qin Shu had already arrived in front of the Qizong gate.
As soon as I arrived at the door, I saw a familiar figure.
Qin Shu fell from the sky, "Third senior brother? Such a coincidence?"
Si Xuan stood at the door of Qi Sect, staring at her with his hands behind his back, "What a coincidence, I am waiting for you here."
Qin Shu: "..."
She was a little confused, "Wait for me? What are you waiting for me to do?"
Si Xuan looked at Qin Shu and remained silent. Qin Shu looked a little strange at him. She lowered her head and looked at herself. There was nothing strange about her. What was wrong?
Qin Shu thought for a while, and suddenly an idea came to her mind.
By the way, it seems that she... borrowed something good and hasn't returned it yet!
Qin Shu quickly raised her hand and touched her storage bracelet, took out the judge's pen, and handed it back to Si Xuan.
"Senior brother, I have been keeping this sum for a long time. Now that you are out of seclusion, you can return it to Zhao intact."
Si Xuan raised his hand to take it, glanced at it casually, and put the pen away.
"Is anyone looking for you these days?" Si Xuan asked.
"Looking for me? Who?" Qin Shu asked.
Si Xuan didn't show off and said directly: "Old Cui."
Qin Shu: "..."
"found."
Si Xuan laughed, "I thought he wasn't in a hurry."
Qin Shu added: "He didn't ask about the judge's pen, he asked about something else."
Si Xuan nodded slightly and continued: "I heard that you are pretty good at refining weapons?"
Qin Shu smiled and said modestly: "It's not that good, it's just good."
Si Xuan raised his eyebrows and asked, "Can you refine a judge's pen?"
Qin Shu: "?"
"You overestimate me a little bit," Qin Shu said.
Si Xuan glanced at her and chuckled: "As long as the appearance looks similar, the function doesn't need to be completely replicated."
Qin Shu thought for a moment and said, "In this case, it should be...can be refined."
"But what do you want this for?" Qin Shu asked.
Si Xuan said calmly: "Go fishing."
Qin Shu understood that the fishing he was talking about was probably not really fishing, but she didn’t know who else was thinking about the Judge’s Pen...
"I'll borrow Master Yue's refining room later to help you refine one."
"Then I'll trouble you, Junior Sister."
Seeing that he had finished speaking and had no intention of leaving, Qin Shu simply said, "Senior brother, I'll take the first step."
Si Xuan nodded, but followed Qin Shu when she was about to leave.
Qin Shu turned around and looked at him in surprise, "What are you..."
"I'll watch you practice," Si Xuan said.
Qin Shu's brows knitted into knots, "Since I promised you, I will not break my promise."
Si Xuan nodded, "I know, but I have nothing to do at the moment, so I just happened to go see how you refine weapons."
Qin Shu: "..."
In the end, she took her third senior brother to Master Yue Zhi's weapon refining room.
This time, Master Yue Zhi was not around. After asking around with other senior brothers, she learned that Master Yue Zhi had also gone into seclusion.
Master Lingxu went into seclusion once and developed a demon-clearing elixir. Master Yue Zhi did not know if he would come up with anything good during his retreat this time.
When Si Xuan saw Qin Shu using a cleaning technique to clean up the dust in the refining room, he directly raised his hand to take out a rocking chair and put it out.
Qin Shu glanced at him and fell silent.
What hobby? He doesn't mind the noise either.
Forget it, just leave him alone, practice writing for him early, and send him away.
Qin Shu prepared the ingredients, lit the fire, and finished it in one go.
She wielded the sledgehammer as if there was no one around, and Si Xuan looked at it very seriously. She originally thought that Qin Shu was just joking, but she didn't expect that she was actually doing it well.
It wasn't until Qin Shu handed him the pen that she had carved, that Si Xuan took it and felt it, and found that it turned out to be a top-quality treasure.
He raised his eyes and looked at Qin Shu in surprise, "So powerful?"
Qin Shu smiled and said, "Don't think you don't need to give the spirit stone just because you say that."
Si Xuan: "..."
"Don't you want to know what happened to your father after you left?"
Qin Shu was stunned for a moment, but soon she came back to her senses and looked at Si Xuan: "One code is a code, and you have to give the spiritual stones that are due."
