Volume 1 Chapter 9
Chapter 9 Sweeping the Stairs
Yan Jingyuan was taken to the Miscellaneous Hall of the outer courtyard of Lingshan Court by Song Haotian. Basically, all the disciples here were recruited over the years but no elders were willing to accept them as disciples. Therefore, the people here were all miserable people. Song Haotian hired the Miscellaneous Hall Manager, a An old man at the peak of the Qi Refining Realm, a monk who has spent most of his life unable to break through the foundation building.
"Deacon Song, did you send someone to me again today?" the old man chuckled. Yan Jingyuan couldn't help but get goosebumps when he saw the old man's smile.
Song Haotian leaned close to the old man and whispered a few words in his ear. The old man looked at Yan Jingyuan while listening, and seemed to understand something in his originally cloudy eyes. He nodded and said to Yan Jingyuan: "Go take a bath and rest first. From now on, you will be responsible for cleaning the 10,000-level ladder. If you need anything, come to me."
Yan Jingyuan bowed slightly. After Song Haotian left, Yan Jingyuan, led by another handyman, collected clothes and daily necessities and walked towards his residence.
It has to be said that even the handymen of Lingshan Yuan have their own separate rooms.
The Miscellaneous Hall is located in the east of the outer courtyard. There are hundreds of houses and hundreds of acres of fertile farmland. The environment is still good.
Yan Jingyuan returned to his room after taking a shower.
Today is the first day. There is no need to do any work, and there is just enough time for him to get familiar with the life here.
Yan Jingyuan sat cross-legged on the bed, with his heart raised to the sky. The spiritual energy here seemed to be much stronger than at home.
After a moment, Yan Jingyuan fell into trance. In just a moment, Yan Jingyuan suddenly opened his eyes. The original blockage point of his meridians was about the thickness of his middle finger, but now he felt that it was only the thickness of his ring finger.
Yan Jingyuan seemed to realize something. Today's mountain climbing consumes several times more energy than usual practice. Could it be that mountain climbing can help clear his meridians?
Yan Jingyuan's original resentment for not becoming the elder's disciple was relieved a lot.
As long as I can run Zhoutian Cultivation normally, I will make the dean and elders regret it.
Yan Jingyuan first bandaged the scratch on his leg with the elixir he received from the handyman hall today, and the pain immediately stopped.
Yan Jingyuan started practicing directly. Feeling the rich spiritual energy entering his body, Yan Jingyuan gradually fell into concentration.
In the dead of night, outside Yan Jingyuan's residence, an old man was looking at the place. Next to the old man stood a figure in black robes.
"Is this the son of you and your benefactor?" the old man whispered.
"Yes." If Song Haotian were here, he would definitely be surprised to find that this person was the old Yuanying monster who entered his room that night and asked him to bring Yan Jingyuan to Lingshan Courtyard.
"It's obviously just a simple meridian blockage, why did you send him to me? Wouldn't it be better to stay with you and your benefactor?" The old man asked for unknown reasons.
"Actually, Qingshan has encountered some problems, and I can't contact him now. I sent Yuan'er to you in the hope that you can help me take care of him, and I'm going to look for Qingshan." There was a hint of sadness in Qin Wan'er's tone. .
"Oh? What's wrong with my benefactor? How can I help?" the old man said in surprise.
"I don't know. It's an organizational matter. I will handle it myself. I can rest assured that Yuan'er will entrust you to take care of me." Qin Wan'er asked again.
The old man heard something wrong in Qin Wan'er's tone, but he knew that if the problem came from the organization behind his benefactor, then there was nothing he could do. After all, that organization was extremely mysterious and had many powerful people.
"Did the benefactor achieve a breakthrough in enlightenment and advance to Hedao?"
"Wei Chang, you and I are both halfway to enlightenment, and Qingshan has not been able to calm down and practice because of some things, so he is still at the peak of enlightenment." After thinking about it, Qin Wan'er revealed Yan Qingshan's current strength to the old man.
"Well, my strength is not as good as yours, so I can't do anything about my benefactor. But don't worry, I will personally teach your benefactor's son here, and I will protect him well. Don't worry." The old man agreed to Qin Wan'er's request.
"Well, I'll thank you in advance for Qingshan, and the favor will be considered repaid." Qin Wan'er said with a slight salute to the old man.
The old man dodged and slightly
He smiled and said, "I owe my old life to my benefactor for saving me. Otherwise, I would have died many years ago. Now that my benefactor is in trouble, I am unable to help and have no face to face it. If I just take care of my benefactor's children, such a small thing would be even more difficult." This can’t be considered repaying a favor.”
"Then it's time for you, Elder Lao." Qin Waner saluted again after saying that.
The old man raised his hand to hold Qin Wan'er, and said with a wry smile: "You should call me Ling Yunzi. Do you think the skills the child practices are those of the benefactor?"
Qin Wan'er smiled and said, "Actually, I want him to learn that skill." As she said that, she pointed to a tall tower in the distance. That tall tower was the famous Nine-layer Soul Refining Tower of Lingshan Academy.
Ling Yunzi nodded and said with a half-smile: "After all these years, you still haven't forgotten the "Ten Thousand Demonic Immortal Thunder Techniques". It's just that the techniques in this book are too overbearing and require the help of some demonic energy to practice. In addition to Senior brother, no one can learn it."
Qin Wan'er nodded and said, "I know this. Because of the special reasons in Yuan'er's body, I hope the elder will fulfill her wish."
Ling Yunzi's eyes widened when he heard this, and he asked suspiciously: "Is it that thing? Is it inside the body?"
Qin Wan'er nodded, and Ling Yunzi smiled bitterly and said, "I really don't know whether it is a blessing or a curse for this child to follow you."
At this moment, the door of Yan Jingyuan's residence opened, and Yan Jingyuan appeared at the door with a broom. He looked at Ling Yunzi and a man in black robes in the distance for a moment, but out of politeness, Yan Jingyuan still cupped his fists and bowed: "Disciple has seen the steward."
Ling Yunzi and Qin Waner were also a little panicked. They were so focused on chatting just now that they didn't notice Yan Jingyuan opening the door.
Ling Yunzi hurriedly coughed and asked, "Ahem, you're still not resting at this late hour. Where are you going?"
Yan Jingyuan replied: "Today, I had a little experience climbing the 10,000-level ladder. It just so happened that the steward asked me to clean the ladder in the future. I am going to start now."
Ling Yunzi nodded. This kid really knew how to work hard, but he still wanted him to rest better, so he asked him to rest first. He was not in a hurry. At this moment, he didn't know that Yan Jingyuan discovered that extreme physical exertion can help dredge the meridians, so how could he be free? After thanking Ling Yunzi for his kindness, he rushed to the courtyard gate.
Ling Yunzi looked at Qin Wan'er standing aside and praised: "This child is indeed a child who knows how to work hard. It is estimated that today's consumption has opened up some of his meridians. He can't wait to taste the benefits. This 10,000-level ladder is actually blessed. , walking on it will consume much more physical energy than climbing the mountain normally. At this time, the senior brother had a sudden idea that every new disciple recruited must start climbing from the mountain gate, in order to allow the disciples to consume the useless spiritual energy in the body. In fact, It’s equivalent to the effect of the Foundation Establishment Pill, it’s not only harmless, but it can also strengthen your body.”
Qin Waner thanked Ling Yunzi again. Before leaving, she said to Ling Yunzi: "Elder, please don't reveal to Yuan'er about my past with Qingshan, and don't tell him about our relationship." Ling Yunzi nodded in agreement, Qin Waner again He looked at Yan Jingyuan who was almost reaching the courtyard gate, and then disappeared in a flash.
Ling Yunzi walked towards the nine-level soul refining tower. He knew that if Yan Jingyuan could really successfully learn the "Ten Thousand Demons Immortal Thunder Method", he would definitely become one of the strongest people in this land in the future.
