The sea of clouds in the sky, above the fairy court flying boat.
Chu Chen booked a private room, sipping fragrant tea and watching the sea of clouds, which was quite comfortable.
It is worth mentioning that half a year later, Ying'er still hasn't finished drinking the spiritual tea given to him, and there is still more than half of it.
This is when Chu Chen invites his colleagues to drink tea from time to time. Otherwise, he would not be able to drink tea by himself.
God knows how much tea Qingying gave him, but he suspected that it was Long Jun's backup spiritual tea.
After all, ordinary people simply can’t finish it.
The little kid also held the incense burner and kept smoking it, very intoxicated.
Half a year ago, he was accompanied by Shen Jian and Mo Yunsan when he rushed to the Imperial Capital Taoist Academy. But this time he returned to Qingzhou, but Chu Chen was alone.
Both Shen Jian and Mo Yunsan could graduate from the Taoist Academy and be promoted.
However, both of them chose to stay in the Taoist temple and cultivate.
Moyun Sanren had just broken through to the sixth level of Taoism. He knew that he was not enough, so he decided to practice hard.
Shen Jian wanted to rush to the ninth floor of the Demon Suppression Tower, and like Chu Chen, he wanted to advance to two levels in a row, and then make plans after being promoted to the sixth level.
Chu Chen is considered the first person to graduate from this year's Duguan Shenghui.
Just like the prefecture, county and Daoyuan, other people will be transferred to various places one after another.
Because of this, the Taoist Temple will not hold any special ceremony for someone.
If you meet the conditions for graduation from the Taoist Academy and receive the transfer order from Xianting, you can go to Xianting Station and take a flying boat to take up your post.
Chu Chen is a special case. Before he left the Taoist temple, Mr. Ming Jing met him specially and encouraged him.
This made Chu Chen quite happy.
During this trip to the Taoist Academy in the Imperial Capital, in addition to perfecting the cultivation method and making breakthroughs in Taoism, the biggest gain was that I fell into the eyes of Mr. Ming Jing and became the emperor's heart.
Practicing extensive practice in the world of spiritual practice is not something you can do just by thinking about it. It requires not only supernatural powers, but also opportunities.
If the prince can remember him, his practice in the Immortal Court will undoubtedly be much smoother in the future.
"Brother, when can we go home?"
The little kid took a breath of the incense and was very excited, with a look of anticipation on his face.
When Chu Chen heard this, he put down his tea cup and couldn't help but feel soft in his heart. The little ghost had followed him thousands of miles away for half a year, and I'm afraid it had never been away from the master for so long.
"It will take three to five days no matter what. Why, little devil, are you homesick?"
"no!"
The little kid shook his head, his eyes bright:
"I guess I haven't broken through to the fifth level of Taoism yet. Hehehe, he used to always say that I don't work hard in cultivation. Now I have caught up with him. Of course I have to go back and show off. If you don't return rich and noble, you will be like walking at night in brocade clothes!"
Chu Chen: "..."
Good fellow, Master, it’s not easy to be a master. Not only are the apprentices catching up, but even the little devils have to compete with the master in cultivation.
...
Four days later.
Chu Chen took a flying boat and arrived at the border of Qingzhou.
Both he and the little kid were eager to return home. In order to reach Guangping County faster, Chu Chen decided not to take a flying boat for the rest of the journey, but to work tirelessly and expend his magic power to travel through the clouds and fog.
However, what surprised Chu Chen was that someone from Qingzhou came to help him.
In the sky and the sea of clouds, two dragons pulling a cart appeared not far from the flying boat.
In the carriage, a young and beautiful girl can be seen vaguely sitting on a cloud bed.
"Senior brother, this is Sister Ying'er~"
The kid recognized the person and his face was full of excitement.
Chu Chen was a little surprised. He informed the boss of the flying boat, clouds formed under his feet, and he flew towards the dragon.
"Erlang, you are finally back."
Qingying smiled and opened the roller blind, inviting Chu Chen and Xiao Guizai to get in the car.
"Yinger, why are you here?"
Qingying lifted her hair that was ruffled by the high-altitude wind and said with a smile:
"I happened to be busy here these two days. I heard that you were about to arrive in Qingzhou, so I stayed for a while. Unexpectedly, I happened to meet you."
"So that's the case, that's a coincidence."
The two dragons who were chasing after hearing this looked at each other in confusion and cursed in their hearts, Your Highness, your coincidence has exhausted us.
"Ooohhoho!"
After not seeing each other for half a year, Chu Chen and Qingying were not related.
Although the two are thousands of miles apart, they often talk with each other through the [Nine Nether Order], share their daily practice experiences, and discuss the Tao.
Reunited after a long separation, the two became more harmonious and cordial.
After some pleasantries, Chu Chen keenly discovered something:
"Ying'er, are you at the fifth level?"
"That's natural. If we don't break through, we will be caught up with you."
Qingying smiled like a crescent moon.
"Qingying, you are different from me. It's important to sharpen your Taoist mentality. Magical cultivation is easily accessible to you. Don't give up the good and chase the bad."
Chu Chen thought for a while and reminded him.
For descendants of innate gods like Qingying, it is not difficult to improve their cultivation. What is difficult is to hone their Taoist realm.
In fact, what really hinders the cultivation of immortals is not the lack of spiritual energy of heaven and earth, but bottlenecks of all sizes.
Some people have practiced for thousands of years, but others have practiced for decades or even years. This situation is not uncommon in the world of immortality.
A thousand-year-old tortoise is still a tortoise, and it doesn't become more powerful just because it lives longer.
Chu Chen's Taoist practice has improved rapidly, not because of his golden finger, but because of his high understanding.
There are fewer bottlenecks encountered in daily life, and Taoist cultivation will naturally improve quickly.
Qingying smiled and nodded:
"I know, how can I not understand the importance? If I want to break through, I can use the treasures in my father's treasure house. I could be promoted to the fifth rank a year ago."
"That's good."
Chu Chen nodded, that was true.
After Qingying broke through the big bottleneck, she will not have any bottleneck until she reaches the fourth level of cultivation, and it will be smooth sailing.
It just takes a lot of hard work to break through.
Qingying has the Diyuan Dragon Palace at her back and has countless training resources at her disposal. She can save most of her hard work and break through to the fifth level with ease.
However, Qingying was an aspiring descendant of the innate gods. She did not rush for success, but took steps step by step.
This will be of great benefit to her future promotion to a great magical monk.
Jiaolong's driving force was very strong, and he carried the group of people to the boundary of Guangping in a short time.
"Erlang, you must be homesick after being away from home for so long. Go home as soon as possible. We can talk about it next time when we have time."
"Okay, I'll find you next time."
Chu Chen nodded and left the Jiaolong Chariot with the kid.
Before leaving, Chu Chen thought of something and said:
"Ying'er, that tea box isn't the tea prepared by Long Jun, is it?"
Qingying blinked:
"Yes, but my father has plenty of spare tea. There is no shortage of this. You can keep it and drink it slowly. I will give you new tea next year. Anyway, it is home-grown tea..."
...
After saying goodbye, Chu Chen took the little ghost boy into the clouds and flew towards Guangping County City.
As soon as we entered the city, we headed straight to Yunshui Residence.
The little ghost boy was brave and high-spirited. He opened the door of Yunshui Residence with his head held high and his voice was loud:
"Master, senior brother and I are back!"
"Senior Brother Chu, Senior Brother Xiaoguizai, you are back!"
Junior brother He Tong came out after hearing the news and was quite happy.
"Junior brother, where is the master (master)?"
Chu Chen and Xiaoguizai said in unison.
Junior Brother He Tong scratched his head:
"Master is practicing in seclusion right now. These days, Master is practicing hard every day, practicing during the day and at night, forgetting to eat and sleep..."
