Inside the cave of Fairy Guhuo.
"Master, is my grandpa also on Yuhu Mountain?"
"Yes, your master is indeed a Nascent Soul monk from our Wuling Sect and is practicing in Yuhu Mountain."
"Oh, then when you accepted my senior brother, did my senior grandpa show up to celebrate like Senior Zhong Yao's master did yesterday?"
"I've been here too, but I didn't show up in front of others. Instead, I met your senior brother in private. At that time, there were only three of you, your master, me, and your senior brother."
"Oh..." Tang Ping nodded, and then asked, "When I open the mountain gate to accept the first disciple in the future, Master, will you also come to celebrate for me?"
When Fairy Guhuo heard this, she shook her head, smiled and cursed:
"Hmph! That's all if you don't say it. Once you say it, I'll get angry. Your master is such a stern person. When I was practicing beside him, he would punish me for any slightest slack. Therefore, in my practice, I never dared to be lazy, but look at you, you are either playing around or messing around every day, and you are nowhere near what I was back then. If you are always so lazy, I don’t know how long it will take for you to accept a disciple!"
"Master..." Tang Ping called out to Tianqu, "I am so playful and mischievous. Huh, for a smart and hard-working disciple like me, if you can rush to be my disciple, just have fun..."
These words made Fairy Guhuo laugh.
After she stopped laughing, Tang Ping asked again:
"Master, is my grandpa really a very strict person?"
"What, you want to meet your master? Well, I can really take you to Yuhu Mountain once. Do you want to go?"
Tang Ping was a little moved, but after thinking about it for a moment, she gave up and said:
"Forget it, I stole a monkey from Yuhu Mountain. If I go there now, I'm afraid I will be asked to take it back by the ancestors there. I don't want to, so I'll wait until the future."
(The so-called Tang Ping stole a monkey on Yuhu Mountain is her second natal spiritual animal - rhubarb. The origin of this rhubarb is not simple. If you have forgotten it, you can refer to the third volume: Ignorance Qi refining, from chapters 109 to 117, Tang Ping harvesting rhubarb is also a very interesting story.)
…
Now that she has become a disciple, Yanxuan will naturally no longer live in the small courtyard in Qixia Mountain. As Senior Zhong Yao's eldest disciple, she will naturally move to Senior Zhong's cave.
Fairy Zhong Yao was also very concerned about the living place of her first disciple. She built a two-story exquisite embroidered building for Yanxuan in front of her cave for him to live and practice, because Yanxuan still had to refine elixirs. , so she personally set up a fire eye in her cave as a place for elixir refining, which made Yanxuan very happy. Now she would not have to go to Nan Yutang to refine any high-level elixirs. A complicated place.
Also, Fairy Zhong Yao’s cave is naturally the place where the aura of Qixia Mountain is rich. It is much better than many spiritual herb gardens in Qixia Mountain. This was also valued by Yanxuan, so he chose a remote corner to open it. It became a nursery for planting spiritual grass. She received a lot of gifts from this apprenticeship. She did not value the ordinary treasures among them. What she valued the most were some spiritual grass seeds that were hard to find on ordinary days. She cherished them very much and prepared to give them to her. It was planted in this nursery and will be used when making elixirs in the future.
Fairy Zhong Yao was a little confused about the location of the nursery. Her cave clearly had a large area, so she didn't understand why Yanxuan chose a remote place to plant spiritual herbs.
"Master will definitely have many disciples in the future. That area is good, but in the future the junior disciples will also live here to practice. That area is just suitable for them to stay. If I occupy it, wouldn't the future junior disciples have to live there? It’s not appropriate for me to push you into a remote place.”
Senior Zhong Yao smiled and said:
"Okay, that's up to you."
Now that the two have become masters and disciples, they naturally have senior Zhong Yao to guide her in practice. In addition to urging Yanxuan to practice, this senior Zhong does not object to Yanxuan's association with those close friends. Instead, he encourages her to have more friends with her. Working with a few partners to apply what you have learned is also a way to practice.
However, even after the apprenticeship ceremony, there are still a lot of things to do, most of which are return visits between the alchemy monks, etc. Therefore, after becoming a disciple, Yanxuan followed his master and was busy for a few days before he stopped. Come down.
As mentioned before, Senior Zhong Yao specially set up a fire eye for Yan Xuan for her to refine alchemy, but Senior Zhong Yao herself did not know any alchemy skills, not only her, but also Elder Li Yun and Elder Lou Ya did not know it. Alchemy, but Elder Li Yun is the chief elder of Qixia Mountain and Yanxuan's uncle. With his personal intervention with gifts, several seniors in Qixia Mountain who are proficient in alchemy also agreed that as long as Yanxuan If you come to ask for advice, you must tell everything you know. Even if these seniors will have reservations because Yanxuan is not their own disciple, and they may hide the subtleties, but with Yanxuan's diligence, I think that as long as I try more and figure it out, I can understand it myself.
Also, not all elixirs Yanxuan refines are made with earth fire. The alchemy skills she practices are divided into two types. The elixirs refined with the fire of the alchemy furnace are generally used to increase cultivation. In addition, In addition, most of the elixirs for treating injuries and saving lives in emergencies are obtained through a commonly known "water refining method". Yanxuan originally wanted to prepare one in Senior Zhong Yao's cave. Set of tools for making water elixirs, but later gave up the idea. Yanxuan and Min'e were good friends. She discovered that although Senior Sister Min also had a teacher, and Senior Sister Min'e's mentor was a master of alchemy, Senior Sister Min could naturally refine elixirs in her master's cave. If she was not allergic, Senior Sister was making water. When refining elixirs, I still go to the "Baicao Courtyard" in Qixia Mountain to do it.
Out of curiosity, Yanxuan asked Senior Sister Allergy why she did this.
"Silly girl, if all the elixirs are made in Master's cave, wouldn't you be able to hear any news from the outside? It makes sense for Nanyu Hall to insist on silence and not allow disciples to talk noisily, but Baicao Courtyard can No, this place is as lively as Jiu Xuan's Chengqi Hall. Whether it is water or fire refining, the spiritual grass must be processed first. There are naturally many people here, and of course you can hear a lot of lively things inside and outside the sect. Whether you are cultivating or refining alchemy, these are important, but you cannot completely isolate yourself from the outside world. I am here to deal with the spiritual herbs, and at the same time I can hear some of the recent lively things, which can kill two birds with one stone."
After hearing this, Yanxuan nodded and gave up the idea of setting up a set of water alchemy equipment in the master's cave. Facts have proved that this approach is really correct. One day, she was in the Baicao Courtyard dealing with the equipment for alchemy. When she was getting the spiritual grass, she heard a piece of news that made her heart beat. She couldn't help but stepped forward to ask about it. She immediately stopped what she was doing, hurriedly packed up, and hurried towards Shuiyun. Go to the valley.
What she heard seemed to be related to the Qingluan that Tang Ping was looking for. She couldn't confirm it, but she didn't dare to let it go, so she had to tell Tang Ping about it quickly and let her make up her own mind. .
However, Yanxuan failed in Fairy Guhuo's cave. Tang Ping's senior sister Ruoyu told her that Tang Yatou had slipped out early.
"Senior Sister Ruoyuan, where did Aping go?" Yanxuan asked.
"Haha, think about it, if she hadn't gone to you, where else could she have gone?" Ruoyuan said with a smile.
Well, since he is not in his master's cave and has not come to find him, where else can he go? Tang Ping naturally went to find Qian Chao. Thinking of this, Yanxuan said goodbye to Ruoyu and hurried to Jiuxuan.
However, at Jiuxuan Qianchao's residence, Yanxuan still rushed to the empty courtyard. There was no one in the courtyard. Just when Yanxuan was puzzled and anxious, a familiar voice suddenly came from one side. in the ears.
"Sister Yan, why are you here?"
It was Tang Ping. She was looking at Yanxuan walking over with a look of surprise on her face. Naturally, there was Qian Chao beside her.
"You girl, I've been looking for you for a long time, from Senior Guhuo's cave to here..."
Tang Ping didn't care about this. She smiled and ran over to hold her arm and said:
"Hey, Sister Yan, it would be great if you could come earlier. Today, Mr. Qian went to try out his newly made talismans. Wow! It's really amazing. That scene... that movement was so amazing that it shocked them all. Brother Ji Zhu, who was in charge of guarding, was alarmed and ran over to see what was going on. He also scolded Mr. Qian, saying that he shouldn't try these talismans in the sect because it would hurt people. Haha, Mr. Qian was so scolded that he became disgraced. , If it weren’t for the senior fellows from the inner hall of the Chengqi Hall among those foundation-building brothers who recognized him and said a few nice words for him, maybe Mr. Qian would have been punished and sentenced to solitary confinement, haha..."
Qian Chao defended with some embarrassment:
"Those senior brothers just wanted me to do this again and let no one outside the sect know it. They didn't scold me..."
"Haha, talk back..."
After laughing, Tang Ping asked:
"By the way, Sister Yan, why are you looking for me in such a hurry?"
Yanxuan then moved his surprised eyes away from Qian Chao and said:
"A Ping, I heard some news today in the Baicao Courtyard in Qixia Mountain. I don't know if it is useful to you. Someone said that they saw a big bird outside. I also asked about it. It seems to be the same as ours before. The Qingluan I have seen is very similar, so I am eager to find you..."
When these words came out, both Tang Ping and Qian Chao were immediately attracted.
"What, Sister Yan, please tell me in detail..."
It turned out that in Baicao Courtyard, Yanxuan heard from others that someone had encountered a scene of a big bird fighting several ferocious monsters outside the sect. Both sides were rare monsters, and the battle was unprecedented in the world. It was rare. It seemed that because of the close proximity, some people were injured. However, this was only said as a lively matter in Baicao Courtyard. When Yanxuan heard it, he didn't know how many rounds it was said. The person who had experienced this incident was not a person who had personally experienced it. He had also heard it from others as gossip. Although Yanxuan also inquired about it, the information he got from several people was not exactly the same. There are some discrepancies between these statements, but at least two points can be confirmed. The first is that this incident did happen, and the second is that the description of the big bird in everyone's mouth is indeed consistent with the green bird that the five people had seen before. Luan is somewhat similar.
"Where did they see that big bird?" Qian Chao asked.
"It's in a place called Shouwo Mountain." Yanxuan said.
"Shou Wo Mountain..." After hearing this, Qian Chao hurriedly took out a few maps from his body, spread them out on the table and searched them carefully, then pointed his finger and said, "Here! But... it's so far away."
"Then what should we do?" Yanxuan asked.
"Well, Girl Tang, you and Sister Yan go and inquire about this matter again. Sister Yan is anxious to talk to you about this matter, and maybe there are still some things that you haven't listened to. I'll stay and take a good look at the map. Tomorrow is our day. How about a few days of practicing here with me, which can be used to discuss the next time you go out?"
"good!"
