The ancestral land of the Ni family is near Nijiazhuang outside Lingfeng City.
Although this place is outside the city, it is only a few miles away from Lingfeng City.
The people of Nijiazhuang did not escape the catastrophe a few years ago.
So as soon as Zhuzhu entered Zhuangzi, there were abandoned houses and mansions everywhere.
Inside, there were overgrown grass and fallen leaves all over the ground, and it was very desolate.
Only a courtyard near the Ni family's ancestral land was filled with smoke.
No need to ask, my father lives in that house.
Her father also sensed her arrival, opened the courtyard door and came out to greet her: "Is the matter done?"
"Yes." Zhuzhu nodded, "Has mother been laid to rest?"
Ni Xinzhi nodded: "I am buried very close to your uncles and aunts. Your mother is no longer alone this time."
"Then tomorrow I will offer incense sticks to her and her uncles."
Zhuzhu said as she followed her father to the small courtyard.
As soon as they reached the entrance of the courtyard, a small figure heard their voices and rushed out to hug Zhuzhu's thigh: "Sister Zhuzhu, where have you been?"
It's Ni Size!
When Zhuzhu saw the little guy, she couldn't help but hug him with a soft heart: "Sister, I went to buy you something delicious."
Fortunately, she saw someone selling candied haws in Lingfeng City, thinking that children would like to eat them, so she bought two bunches.
He quickly took it out of the savings ring and handed it to Ni Size.
The little guy took the candied haws without thinking of enjoying it to himself. Instead, he handed a bunch to Ni Xinzhi and said, "Dad, you eat it."
"Dad is an adult now. If you don't want to eat candied haws, you can eat it!" Ni Xinzhi was very pleased. Ni Size, who was only two years old, was already sensible.
"Then sister, eat it." Ni Size handed the candied haws to Zhuzhu again.
Zhuzhu shook her head: "Sister, you are an adult now, so you should eat it."
"But there are two. I can just eat one. Can I leave a bunch of the other for Huahua?"
Unexpectedly, Ni Size still remembered Huahua after not seeing her for more than a month.
Huahua, who was in the Zhuzhu demon pet bag, also heard Ni Size's words and couldn't help but protest and wanted to come out.
Zhuzhu sighed helplessly. The friendship between these two little guys was so deep that she couldn't stop them even if she wanted to.
It's better to let nature take its course.
She released Huahua from the demon pet bag, and Ni Size happily threw the candied haws into Huahua's arms.
On the second day, after offering incense to her mother and the elders of the Ni family, Zhuzhu bid farewell to her father.
She has been out of the clan for more than a year, and after solving the Zhu family's problems, it's time to return to the clan.
Moreover, during this trip, he saved Ni Size and obtained the demon elixir of the fifth-level piebald giant snake and the seventh-level jade marrow grass. He also used the jade marrow grass to help his father break through the foundation building and become the golden elixir master. The harvest was not small.
Now that her father is guarding her mother in the ancestral land, and Ni Size is here to support her and her sister, her father must not be so lonely.
When she and her sister enter the golden elixir and can fly with swords, it will be much more convenient for them to go out to visit their father than it is now with two legs.
Moreover, my father has become a real Jindan, so if I really miss them, it is very convenient to go back to Wuji City.
So Zhuzhu was not that sad about parting with her father this time.
"Let's go, you need a wider world to fly. Dad just discovered that the disciples taught by the sect are much better than the disciples in the mortal family. When Size grows up and is found to have spiritual roots, I will also He was sent to the sect for training.”
Ni Xinzhi finally understood that those rights in the mortal world were just passing clouds, and the most important thing as a monk was to pursue the path to immortality.
"Dad, I will come back to see you after my sister and I enter the Golden Elixir."
In the end, Zhuzhu was a little reluctant to let go.
"You can take a good look at this book "The Art of Making Talisman" when you have time. It records the methods and experiences of drawing the first to fourth-grade spiritual talismans. Daddy can't teach you anything further."
Ni Xinzhi put a thick book into Zhuzhu's hands, "Now that you are a foundation-building monk, you can calm down and study these side paths when you have time. Although the alchemy array is a side path, it is actually the same as the main path. , not only can increase the monk's own strength, but also temper his spiritual consciousness and state of mind."
As a new first-level spiritual talisman master, Zhuzhu had put away the talisman pen for too long since entering the sect, and she felt a little ashamed after hearing her father's words.
It's not that I don't like drawing talismans, it's just that when I was a handyman disciple, I didn't have the time or energy to do these things. I just thought about practicing every day, hoping to build the foundation and become an outer disciple as soon as possible.
After finally being accepted into the inner sect by the master, he is also busy practicing to hit the foundation building stage.
"I will continue to learn how to make talismans." Zhuzhu said firmly.
If she hadn't relied on her father's blasting talisman to attack the giant snake last time, I'm afraid she wouldn't have killed the giant snake so easily.
Although Fu Zhuan is a side path, it is also one of the six paths. If used well, it can help oneself improve a lot.
After bidding farewell to their father, Zhuzhu and Huahua entered Yunwu Mountain. Zhuzhu thought of Zhu Huayang's words, and Ni Sitao was finally rescued by a young man here.
She had suspected it was Lu Changlin before, but she couldn't figure out how Lu Changlin, who was also in the Qi refining stage at the time, survived in Yunwu Mountain.
Could it be that he also found a place as hidden as Peach Blossom Valley?
She took Huahua to explore the depths of Yunwu Mountain, until they were more than three hundred miles deep, and encountered the fifth-level Silver Wolf King and hundreds of second- and third-level silver wolves under him.
In order to protect herself, Zhuzhu had to make a U-turn on Huahuaback and escape.
"call--"
After getting rid of the wolves, Zhuzhu breathed a sigh of relief. After only going more than three hundred miles, he met the fifth-level wolf king. If he went deeper, even Jindan Zhenren might have to go back the same way.
So where are Lu Changlin and Ni Sitao hiding?
Unable to figure it out, and unable to find where they were hiding, Zhuzhu guessed that they might have escaped from Yunwu Mountain long ago.
Then he decided to go to Peach Blossom Valley to have a look and return to his clan.
After entering the Peach Blossom Valley, the first thing that caught the eye was the weeds as tall as half a person. It was clear at a glance that no one had been here since she left.
Zhuzhu recited a cleaning formula, and all the weeds were cleared instantly.
The number of golden carps in the creek has multiplied in recent years, and there are hundreds more than when they left.
Huahua's mouth watered when she saw them, and she kept asking Zhuzhu Shihai to eat grilled fish.
Zhuzhu grilled five or six big fish for it in one go, and then repaired the thatched house again.
Although she understands that all this is in vain, when she comes back in a few years, Peach Blossom Valley may still be desolate.
Zhuzhu still wanted to take better care of it while she was there.
It once provided her with shelter and allowed her to spend two years here without any worries. She also received gifts of skills from seniors from the same world.
In her subconscious mind, she regards this place as half of her home.
Although I don’t live here for a long time, when I have time to come back and see that my home is still there, I feel warm in my heart.
It was just her and Huahua on the way back, which was much faster than when they came.
It only took less than half a year to return to the Five Extremes realm.
During this period, we also stayed for a month to hit the middle stage of foundation building.
It turned out that Zhuzhu felt that her mood was becoming more and more peaceful, and she had entered the middle stage of foundation building, so she absorbed the fifth-level piebald giant snake demon pill on the way, and successfully entered the middle stage of foundation building.
The properties of the water spirit root have also been improved, absorbing water spirit energy twice as fast as before, and her water condensation technique is also much more powerful.
Then he let Huahua eat half of the corpse and the snake gall of the fifth-level piebald giant snake, and Huahua also used this to enter the fourth-level peak cultivation level.
————
After entering the Wuji Spiritual Realm, Zhuzhu did not rush back to the sect first. Instead, she went to the largest free market in the spiritual world to buy talisman pens, talismans, paper and other things needed to make talismans.
The people setting up stalls here are all foundation-building disciples of various sects or Jindan masters.
I heard the eldest sister said that the things sold here are more cost-effective than those in the shops in Wuji City.
Moreover, many of them are refined by sect disciples themselves, and the quality is better than those in shops in Wuji City.
Zhuzhu walked around half of the market and only bought some talisman paper, cinnabar and monster blood, and still lacked a talisman pen.
However, most of the best talisman pens sold are only second level.
And Zhuzhu wants to buy a third-level or higher talisman pen.
Although her current talisman-making skills are not very good, she still wants a high-quality and more convenient talisman pen to learn how to make talismans.
This will help her get twice the result with half the effort in making talismans.
She continued to walk around until she saw a small stall selling talisman pens in front of her, and there were talisman pens from first to third levels.
Zhuzhu was overjoyed and pointed to the only third-level talisman pen and asked: "Fellow Taoist, how can I sell this talisman pen?"
