There was no wind or rain all night. Under the care of Li Ye and Xiao Qing, Xiaohua broke through to the second level of Nascent Soul as she wished. This made Mu Mu extremely excited. She thought that if she could eat a fruit, she would be in the same state as herself?
However, she herself was not idle either. Under the eyes of Li Ye and Xiao Qing, she worked her way up and broke through three realms, and did not stop until the late stage of the fifth level of Nascent Soul.
Li Ye looked at her blankly and said with a smile, "If it were me, I would be hit by nine thunderbolts."
Mu Mu looked at him without saying anything. She just wanted to know that Li Ye had not forgotten her.
It was only Xiaoqing's breakthrough that neither Li Ye nor Mu Mu understood. In the end, after Mu Mu pressed him repeatedly, Xiaoqing honestly confessed that he had also broken through two realms.
Even this shocked him beyond her comprehension.
She was certain that this spiritual fruit was definitely not from the world she was in.
Without saying any more words, since the three of them have broken through, this is a happy thing. Li Yexindao is already a little flower in the Nascent Soul Realm, and can take better care of Yu'er in the future.
"Tomorrow I will take Yu'er to meet the master, and you two will go for a walk in the mountains. With Xiao Qing here, there will be no surprises." Li Ye looked at Xiao Qing and Xiao Hua and said with a smile.
"When we get back to Prajna Temple, I want to go to the mountains with Xiaoqing." Mu Mu has been very depressed these days. She practices swordsmanship with Qingxu all day long, so she has no time to go to the mountains.
"Okay, go back to the temple, let Xiaohua take Yu'er, and you go with Xiaoqing." She has reached the fifth level of Nascent Soul, and Li Ye no longer has to worry about her.
...
When Li Ye brought Nangong Ruyu'er Mumu to Qingxu the next day, even though he was mentally prepared, he still shocked the young man in front of him.
She took his hand and asked, "Did you survive nine tribulations in one night?"
Li Ye saw an undeniable look in his eyes and had no choice but to reply: "My master at the Great Buddha Temple used Kung Fu to imprison his cultivation. Only when he practices to a certain level..."
Qingxu's brows slowly opened, feeling that the old monk's move was really powerful, as he had imprisoned a boy in the Nascent Soul Realm for several years.
After a brief pause, he said: "Now you have a new imprisonment. If you want to break through in cultivation, do you still have to practice your physical skills to perfection?"
"That's the truth." Li Ye looked at him and smiled: "I am already very satisfied."
Qingxu shook his head, thinking of the disciples who practiced Xuantian Temple, the people who practiced hard in the five realms, and his own situation when he was young, and said with emotion: "It is impossible to think of someone who has worked hard to practice like you. Not many people.”
He turned to look at Nangong Ruyu who was following him and said, "This little girl has amazing bones. She must be a powerful little guy in the future."
Li Ye pulled Nangong Ruyu to sit down next to him, looked at him and replied: "This is the disciple I accepted. He is from the Nangong family in the Buddhist capital. I have a deep relationship with his father. Yu'er, come and call me. Master!"
Nangong Ruyu shouted obediently.
Qingxu laughed loudly and said: "You haven't practiced yet, and I have nothing to give you. When you can practice, I will make up for it."
Nangong Ruyu looked at him and nodded. At her age, she didn't care about gifts. As long as she had a full stomach and someone to play with, it would be fine.
Mu Mu looked at the two of them and said, "Master, my brother said that you are going to teach us how to make medicine today. Is it not going to be long before Mu Mu can make the medicine she needs by herself?"
"You can think so, but whether you can make it depends on your own efforts." Qingxu looked at her and smiled.
After hearing this, Mu Mu was stunned and turned to look at Li Ye.
Li Ye shook his head and said with a smile: "If I am not wrong, refining medicine is only the primary step of refining elixirs. The world says that elixirs are not so easy to refine."
The little fat man Tang Chao stayed in Qingcheng for ten years in the blink of an eye. In the past ten years, Li Ye didn't know whether he had learned alchemy or not, and even Tang Qiuyu didn't know his specific practice.
After all, alchemy is a secret matter of various sects.
"As long as I learn how to make alchemy from my master, I will one day master the art of alchemy." Mu Mu looked at Li Ye and Nangong Ruyu and said proudly.
The look in Qingxu's eyes was very calm. He looked at the two disciples who had just started and said seriously: "I want to know if you can distinguish the herbs, or do you need me to tell you the types of herbs first?"
Mu Mu didn't wait for Li Ye to speak, but stepped forward and took Qingxu's hand and said, "Mr. Xiao Qinghe taught me how to identify different herbs in the Imperial City, as well as the effects of different herbs..."
"That's very good. No matter how high your understanding is and how hard you practice, if you don't have the knowledge of medicinal herbs, it will still take you a lot of time to learn."
Qingxu already knew that Li Ye could know all the medicinal herbs in the five realms, so he didn't ask him.
Qingxu looked at the two of them and said: "Everyone in the world has always used medicinal herbs to mix and cook them directly. Little did they know that many of their medicinal properties would be lost. If they can be refined and concentrated, they can have the greatest effect."
Li Ye and Mu Mu nodded. Although Nangong Ruyu didn't understand, seeing Li Ye listening attentively, she had no choice but to lie in his arms and fell asleep soon.
"It's just like, you have an elixir, and if you cook it and dissolve it, you will only get half of the essence at best. But if you refine and concentrate it, you will invisibly get two elixirs. Do you understand this? ?”
Mu Mu looked at him and nodded heavily.
Qingxu looked at the two of them and said seriously: "The art of refining medicine cannot push your practice to a higher level, but it can save your life when you are dying. There is also a saying in the world that our Taoist practice , is to cultivate one’s life.”
Mumu opened her mouth to say something.
Li Ye looked at her and shook his head. He looked at Qingxu and replied: "Buddhism talks about cultivating the mind, and Taoism talks about cultivating the life. But in the final analysis, it is for one purpose, that is, only I have an ordinary heart, long life Only by saving your life can you have the opportunity to break through the void and pursue a higher realm..."
Li Ye remembered what his husband had said to him when he came to the foot of Fangcun Mountain that year. He looked at Mu Mu and said, "Whether we climb the mountain from the north slope or the south slope, we can all reach Fangcun Mountain in the end."
Qingxu looked at Li Ye with satisfaction and said with a smile: "The key to refining medicine is not whether you can succeed, but whether you can persevere with great perseverance. Some people put themselves at risk in order to try medicine on their own. Half of the body was left crippled..."
"So, I must warn you two, if you want to seriously learn how to refine medicine, you must be more careful and double-check every step of your refining process..."
"Just like me practicing sword skills, only after practice makes perfect can you find the feeling for the sword? Is it the same with refining medicine?" Mu Mu looked at Qingxu and asked seriously.
This was the first time that she was serious about her practice. Ever since she met Li Ye in Tianshan, Li Ye had never seen her take anything seriously. Even her practice had always been laissez-faire.
Even her husband emphasized to her that she should first cultivate her state of mind before breaking it.
Qingxu looked at her and said with a smile: "From a certain point of view, refining medicine is no different from practicing sword skills. They both require you to comprehend and experience with your heart. When you turn every medicinal herb into your body's memory, At that time, not to mention refining medicine, even refining elixir was a trivial matter."
Li Ye looked at Mu Mu and said seriously: "Sister, practice well with the master. This is a rare opportunity."
Mu Mu lowered his head and thought for a long time, then raised his head and looked at Qingxu and asked, "Will Master leave this world one day? If he leaves, will Mu Mu be able to see you again?"
In just ten days, Qingxu's meticulous care for her made her feel attached to Qingxu.
Qingxu looked at her and shook his head, and said with a faint smile: "I should have left this world a long time ago, but I just couldn't worry about the practice of many disciples in the temple, so I kept putting it off. I don't know how much longer I can put it off."
Li Ye asked thoughtfully: "They have to learn to grow up on their own after all. Master, you can't just watch them for the rest of their lives, right?"
Qingxu looked into his eyes and replied: "What you see for a while is what you get for a while, and now you two little guys are here, how can I just talk about it?"
Li Ye looked at Nangong Ruyu lying in his arms, thinking about what Qingxu said, and thought to himself, how long can I stay with you? How long can you stay with Wu Xin and Nangong Xuanyuan?
You and I are both going to leave this world after all. Everything here is just a short moment in our lives.
Looking up at Mu Mu's solemn face, I felt a "thump!" in my heart, and it was also extremely painful.
He never felt happy when he had Mumu, but if her mother came one day, or Xiaoqing took her away from this world, Li Ye really didn't know how to face himself.
Crying to heaven and earth? Is it useful?
Qingxu looked at his lost look and asked softly: "How many days do you plan to stay in the temple?"
Li Ye came back to his senses, looked at Qingxu and smiled and said: "Back to master, my disciple plans to stay for five days before returning to Prajna Temple. From then on, he will be at Prajna Temple for half a month and here for half a month."
"You don't have to go up the mountain to forge your sword anymore?" Qingxu looked at him and asked.
Li Ye was startled, and then he remembered that he still had to continue forging swords. Looking at Qingxu, he couldn't help but smile bitterly: "I thought it would be okay to go back to the mountain, but when I came back, I realized that manpower is sometimes scarce..."
Qingxu looked at him and smiled: "It's good that you understand this."
Li Ye looked at Qingxu and asked, "Master, I'm learning how to make medicine with Mu Mu. Do you want to prepare a medicine furnace? If not, I'll come back and cast one myself to try."
Qingxu shook his head and replied: "I have prepared it for you a long time ago. You learn to make medicine from my master. If you need to prepare the medicine furnace yourself, wouldn't it make people laugh at me for being shabby?"
Li Ye smiled and said seriously: "Mu Mu, master has prepared the medicine furnace for us. You have to practice seriously. In the future, if your mother and sister encounter problems in practice, you can help. ."
Mu Mu nodded.
"Both of you are familiar with the basic knowledge of medicinal herbs. It doesn't take much effort to learn how to make medicinal herbs. Don't be stressed!" Qingxu said with a smile as he looked at the two of them.
Mu Mu looked at Li Ye and said seriously: "One day, Mu Mu will surpass his brother, including Sister Wutong who stayed in the Central Territory."
"I will be the eldest sister then!" Mu Mu chuckled.
"When you become powerful, I guess they will all have to ask for it. Why would they care about who is the eldest sister?" Li Ye thought to himself, are you naughty and careless?
While talking, Qingxu took out two black medicine stoves from behind, which were as big as two iron pots. He looked at the two of them and said, "Take them back later and clean them carefully. Bring them back tomorrow and I will teach you how to use them." Herb purification.”
Mu Mu looked at the dark guy in front of her and asked with a smile: "Master, is this a medicine furnace? It's so ugly."
Qingxu looked at her and smiled and said, "Don't underestimate it. I used it to learn how to make medicine. Purifying herbs is the first step in learning how to make medicine, so you can't be careless."
Looking at the expression on his face, Qingxu asked, "What are you thinking about."
Li Ye raised his head and looked at his master, who had a gray beard. After hesitating for a moment, he asked, "I'm wondering if master will ascend and leave this world after teaching us both."
He didn't know the realm of Qingxu because he couldn't understand it anymore, but he saw a microcosm of another world from the clothes of the husband and the woman in white.
Upon hearing this, Qingxu frowned and replied, "Who can decide whether to leave or stay?"
...
