For several days after the banquet, Qi Yunrong blocked the guests and invited them in the name of meditation.
Even if Pan Yu wanted to make friends, he couldn't do it under such indifference.
Seeing that the day of the caravan's departure was approaching, he couldn't help but feel a little panicked. He invited the fellow monks to discuss it carefully in the room, hoping to get a magic method and make friends with Qi Yunrong.
"A few days ago, I received a message from an informant in the inner city. To celebrate Master Qingyang's return to Dingxian City, Master will personally arrange a banquet for him. Master Qingyang is an old friend of Master, and he has brought him with him this time. Zheng Shaoyou showed off his skills in sword discussions at the Heavenly Sword Platform, so I, Ming Lei Cave, will also invite all the disciples to sit down. It’s a pity that there are so many disciples of the master, and I am not conspicuous among them..."
Pan Yu knew very well how he was able to obtain the title of disciple of Ming Lei Cave by offering generous gifts.
In the years since I became a disciple of Master Fu Ya, not to mention getting his advice, even if I was lucky enough to meet him, it was extremely difficult. He was not as respected as the few relatives above him, so if he wanted to stand out at the banquet, he had to find another way out.
"Shao Yansheng, a disciple of the Hunde Formation Sect, has the task of setting up the formation at hand. I'm afraid he won't be willing to follow us to the inner city. Fortunately, this Qi Yunrong is not inferior to him in terms of status. If I can make friends with him, I will make her a And take him to the banquet, with the half-demon strong man behind him, Master has to take a high look at me!"
Pan Yuwei had planned everything in his mind. Of course, what he had not made clear to the middle-aged man was that in addition to taking Qi Yunrong to the banquet, what he wanted more was to become a Taoist companion with Qi Yunrong, so that they could help them practice together and achieve greatness in the future.
Cultivating Taoism is a place of wealth for a Dharma couple. Now that he has become a disciple of the True Infant, if he can still have an extraordinary Taoist companion by his side, he can also be given a lot of help.
But the middle-aged man had more thoughts, frowned and said thoughtfully: "I think she has an unruly and aloof temperament. I'm afraid she is a hard-to-approach person. It would be extremely difficult to invite her to the meeting."
Pan Yu sneered, saying that after all this man was just a casual cultivator who was looking for money to support him, and his vision was really short-sighted. He cursed in his heart for a while, and then explained to him: "Master Qingyang is a real person who has long been famous in the three states. The strong Yingjian cultivator's return to Dingxian City has already caused countless commotions in the inner city. Even several Zhenying masters personally came to invite him, and he didn't even take a second look. It was because the master had a deep friendship with them that he was able to A banquet was arranged at Ming Lei Cave.
"What kind of person is Master? Apart from the five sages in this Dingxian City, who else dares to disobey him? With him and Master Qingyang sitting together, many people with long-standing reputations will definitely come in droves. When the time comes, Several competitions are set up to entertain the Master, not to mention that this is a good opportunity to become famous, but even the rewards from the strong ones in the table are enough to make people excited!"
The more he talked, the more excited he became. As he talked, his face turned red, and suddenly his expression turned cold. He smiled teasingly at the middle-aged man and said, "I'm afraid she will have to beg to go!"
Unable to argue, the middle-aged man could only agree and nod in agreement.
In the waterside pavilion on the east side of the pond across the pond, Qi Yunrong slowly woke up from his state of trance, looked slightly inward at his Dantian, and his expression relaxed.
Now she is only one step away from the perfection of Ning Yuan. After a few more months of practice, she should be able to achieve success. Then, like Zhao Chun, she can start to master the method of breaking through the Xuanxuan.
If you think about it carefully, when you first met Zhao Chun, you had already completed the foundation building cultivation, while the other person was only at the Qi training level at that time. The two met by chance and have been lucky enough to become the same disciples. Zhao Chun was already about to climb Fenxuan, but he unknowingly fell behind.
This gap is difficult to bridge, and we will have to get further and further apart in the future.
After Qi Yunrong sighed softly, she regained her composure. She had always had a tenacious Taoist heart and practiced hard. This was one of the internal reasons why she had achieved today's achievements along the way.
You know it’s hard to pursue, so why don’t you lose your mind and not pursue it?
In the past, there was always the silhouette of autumn in the horizontal clouds, and whenever she was anxious about her practice, she would motivate herself with her deeds. Now, the person in front of her has just changed, so she shouldn't be depressed or shaken. .
Some people are weak when they see strength, and are like paper tigers that cannot be destroyed, but some people become stronger when they see strength, and work hard to achieve success.
Qi Yunrong never wanted to be the former, so she calmed down and entered meditation practice again. This time, her mind was clearer and her practice speed was even faster!
…
In the dim light of the morning, Chu Zhenqun sent his wife and two of them off. Seeing that there were so many people, he felt suspicious, so he earnestly warned through a message:
"Pan Yu is not very strong, but he has Fen Xuan to protect him. Besides, he is also an unforgiving person. Qi Yunrong has a cold and arrogant temperament. He is definitely not someone willing to bow his head and tolerate it. If there is any trouble between the two of them, it will be you, Lan Mei. We need to protect her a little, after all, there is a teacher behind her who has never shown up. Now is the time when the Chu family is gaining momentum, and we are determined not to offend such a strong person."
Xu Shanglan had a clear mind and could not see clearly the situation at hand, so she lovingly replied to her husband: "Don't worry, Pan Yu is afraid of my mother after all. I will take care of him during this trip, and I won't dare to act recklessly. When the time comes, Once we enter the inner city, I will directly invite Qi Yunrong into my Xu Mansion in the name of my mother, so he will not dare to cause trouble."
The two of them had been extremely worried about this matter recently, and they gradually felt relieved after comforting each other for a few words.
Xu Man almost frowned with sadness when he thought about going back to his mother's house recently.
He was greedy and lazy, but Xu Zhenren, Xu Shanglan's mother, had strict requirements on him, so he would rather follow his mother to the remote Chu family than stay in the inner city.
Coincidentally, on the eve of his departure, Pan Yu, who had always had a mediocre attitude towards him, actually came to visit him. After some greetings, he invited him: "I want to invite fellow Taoist Qi to visit the inner city with me. Why don't you come with me?" , after the tour, I will take you to Ming Lei Cave and show your face in front of my senior brothers and sisters. It will be easy for Master to accept you as his disciple."
Xu Man knew that his mother had always wanted him to enter a prestigious family, and had been planning for a long time to become a disciple of Fu Ya. If he could accomplish this, his mother would naturally be proud of him.
For this reason, he agreed to the matter without much thought.
When the caravan gathered for the trip, Xu Man had a smile on his face and stood to one side with Pan Yu and others, feeling indescribably proud.
It's a pity that they waited and waited, but couldn't wait for Qi Yunrong to show up. Half an hour had passed since the appointed time. Not to mention Pan Yu, even Xu Shanglan couldn't help showing a strange expression.
Could it be that Qi Yunrong regretted it temporarily and was unwilling to go to the inner city?
Going back on one's word is not the behavior of a gentleman, and in the eyes of monks it is considered a breach of character. Xu Shanglan and her husband looked at each other and saw the confusion in each other's eyes.
Suddenly, a vortex appeared faintly in the sky above Chu Mansion, and a burst of spiritual energy surged up, smashing the vortex away with a bang!
"This is!"
A figure suddenly rose up in the sky, and Shi Shiran descended in front of everyone. He heard Qi Yunrong's apologetic words, bowed slightly and said: "I suddenly felt an opportunity for a breakthrough in my practice, and I didn't dare to let it pass. That's why I missed today's appointment. Hope you all can understand!"
Everyone took a closer look and saw that the aura on her body had not yet calmed down, and she was making a breakthrough, and her cultivation state had also changed from the late stage of Yuan Condensation when they met to the Great Perfection of Yuan Condensation in front of them!
Looking at the sight of the true energy causing spiritual energy to surge during the breakthrough, you can tell that she is no ordinary genius!
Chu Zhenqun's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly waved his hand to congratulate: "What's the matter? We have always attached great importance to cultivation, and breakthroughs are the most important thing. Not to mention that Qi Xiaoyou only made me and the others wait for just a short time today." It’s just time, even if we have to wait for days and nights, we still have to take the lead, Xiaoyou Qi, with your breakthrough."
"That's right, Taoist friend Qi is a young talent. Now that he has made a breakthrough, it's time to celebrate. When we get to the inner city, I will do something to celebrate for you Taoist friend." Pan Yuzheng was worried that he had no chance to make friends, so he saw Qi Yunrong After breaking through to the Great Perfection of Condensing Yuan, he immediately came forward to flatter him, fearing that he would miss it.
However, Qi Yunrong said nothing. After hearing this, he said "Thank you, Taoist friend, for your kindness" and then said nothing else.
Pan Yu was secretly angry, but he didn't dare to get angry.
With everyone present, Xu Shanglan ordered the caravan to set off.
Dingxian City is extremely vast, and there is a long distance between the inner and outer cities. Even if the monk Ning Yuan flies in the air, it would take him a whole day to fly. And if such a large caravan wants to be transported through the formation, it will also cost a lot of money. It is not as good as Driving a spirit-horse cart will make the money for fodder much more cost-effective.
And the time it takes is only a few days.
Xu Shanglan had to take care of the caravan, so he couldn't go ahead. Qi Yunrong had to borrow her help to enter the city, so he had to go with the caravan.
As for Pan Yu, although he was anxious about Master Qingyang's banquet, he could only show his prominence in the banquet by making friends with Qi Yunrong first. Therefore, in the end, no one went alone. Instead, they all took carriages, which was a waste of time. It took several days to see the inner city.
After getting off the car, Xu Shanglan had to go through the procedures for the caravan to enter the city, and Qi Yunrong's entry into the city also had to be resolved together.
However, with her mother's support behind her, she firmly agreed.
The rest of the people were waiting inside Lingyun Road. They could get a glimpse of the scenery with the help of the huge city gate opened under the towering city wall.
When Qi Yunrong came back here for the first time, his eyes followed the city gate and floated to a very far place in the sky.
It was noon at this moment, the sky was bright and almost cloudless, and the dusk was faint in the place where I looked. With my extraordinary eyesight, I could still detect the twinkling stars. It was really magical!
Such suspicion was caught by Pan Yu, and before she could ask, someone already responded enthusiastically: "Fellow Daoist Qi, are you curious about where that place is?"
Qi Yunrong has a straightforward personality and hates people who beat around the bush. Even if he is curious, he doesn't want to talk about it.
Seeing no one answered for a long time, Pan Yu's face became gloomy for a moment, but he was unwilling to give up the good opportunity, so he continued: "That is a strange place in our Dingxian City, and it has the reputation of being the place where the sky hangs. It is located here." Star Tower, you can reach the top with one hand to pick stars. Since ancient times, it has attracted countless monks to climb the tower. Unfortunately, climbing to the top is even more difficult than going to the sky. The last time someone climbed to the top was more than two thousand years ago!"
While he was talking, many monks entered the city from Lingyun Road one after another, shouting in surprise:
"It's really a strange thing. I heard that there was a monk who successfully climbed to the top, but was trapped in the tower and could not find his whereabouts. Now that it has been almost seven days, could it be possible that he really died in the tower?"
"You also went to the inner city for this matter? I see that many strong men in the city have been calling out their disciples to return to the city recently. Is it possible that the achievement is related to this matter?"
"No, no! This is another big thing."
Seeing that someone knew about it, a large number of monks immediately gathered around and listened attentively.
"Master Qingyang, who had a rift with Venerable Dehe in the past and left Dingxian City angrily, now relies on the first-class sect Wangxin Valley and has accepted a peerless disciple under his sect. He has returned to the city in high spirits. Master Fuya has paid for He held a banquet in Minglei Cave and sent out invitations widely. In order to make friends with him, all the powerful men are gathering disciples to prepare for the meeting."
After hearing this, there was a chorus of "That's it" echoing around him.
Qi Yunrong also listened with great interest.
Only Pan Yu was cut off, his expression stagnant, and he was secretly shocked that someone had climbed to the top of Zhai Xing Tower.
But for him, after all, the banquet at Ming Lei Cave was more important, so he put the matter aside for a while and turned to talk to Qi Yunrong, but Xu Shanglan returned after the event was completed.
She also learned about the recent events in the inner city one after another. She still looked a little surprised, and her desire to return home to see her mother became stronger, so she hurriedly summoned everyone into the city.
"Young Qi is entering the inner city for the first time. You might as well go to my Xu Mansion to stay. After I finish the caravan business, I can take you around the city."
During the journey, Pan Yu did not make things difficult as expected, but was rather attentive to Qi Yunrong. After Xu Shanglan thought about it for a while, he understood the meaning clearly. She thought that Pan Yu had the idea of getting married in his heart, but she also scoffed at it.
With the strength and talent shown by Qi Yunrong, he must be highly valued by the half-demon strong man and become his direct disciple. However, Pan Yu is just an ordinary disciple who got where he is today thanks to the master's reputation. Anyone can tell. Despite the vast difference between the two of them, I am afraid that only Pan Yu, who thinks highly of himself, dares to have delusional thoughts.
However, she was afraid of ill intentions and Qi Yunrong's elders were not around. If she could invite him to the Xu Mansion, she would be doing her best to protect him.
Sure enough, after hearing her invitation, Pan Yu immediately refused and said with a smile: "Since Madam has other things at hand, I guess Taoist Qi doesn't want to bother you too much. I'm quite free here, but I can lead you Let’s go hang out.”
After saying that, he turned to Xu Man and said: "I just have an appointment with your son, and I want to take him to Ming Lei Cave. This time, I can also let you go with me."
Xu Shanglan knew that the deep meaning of his words was nothing more than threatening her with the idea of becoming a disciple. However, she really cared about this matter and couldn't help but feel hesitant at the moment.
Xu Man, who was most afraid of returning home, took this opportunity and said quickly: "Mother, the child has already promised to the Pan family brother. This established agreement cannot be broken easily, so just let the child go!"
She was annoyed by her son's impulsive behavior and immediately glared at him. When she was about to speak out to mediate, she heard Qi Yunrong nod and said: "It doesn't matter, Madam, if you are busy, someone else can do it for you."
In this way, the road back is blocked.
Xu Shanglan frowned and had no choice but to agree.
Two chapters in one.
After resting, I took another medicine and it felt better.
Double monthly passes should start the day after tomorrow, and there will be additional updates during the period.
I don’t have much to save. I just rely on the code being written on the same day and cherish it more.
(End of chapter)
