The sun is shining brightly, and the clouds of fire are burning.
On the Tiansha Peak, the five disciples of the Guiyuan Sword Sect each occupied a stage and were competing with the disciples of the Tianyan Sect.
Under the ring where Zhuo Qingfeng and Lu Nanzhi were, there was a huge crowd of people, and it was extremely lively.
The two of them were going back and forth, fighting so hard that they couldn't tell the winner for a while.
Xie Jingshan hid his face and squeezed into the crowd, found Shen Huaixi and put his arm on his shoulder, "I've been looking for you everywhere. Is there any way you can make me get a disease that looks serious but is actually fine?"
Shen Huaixi saw Xie Jingshan clearly and asked doubtfully, "Why is this?"
Xie Jingshan avoided the probing glances of the people next to him, "These five sword sects are too fierce. I have to avoid their sharp edges. If I haven't beaten them, I can still say harsh words. If I beat them, I will lose. Where do you want me to put my face?"
Shen Huaixi laughed, "Senior Sister Lu and Senior Sister Jiang are both heroes among people, but Brother Jingshan is so unsatisfactory? By the way, why haven't you seen Senior Sister Jiang recently?"
"Has she received enlightenment from the Supreme Elder? I can feel her pulse now. She will definitely scare people to death when she comes out this time. I still have to ask for help, otherwise it will be too embarrassing. Let's go, let's go Let's get acupuncture."
Xie Jingshan forced Shen Huaixi to leave.
On the ring, Lu Nanzhi and Zhuo Qingfeng stopped, and the fight ended in a draw.
Lu Nanzhi looked at Tianxian Peak and sighed, "Xiaobai is right, fighting in the ring is boring!"
Turning around to see Xu Qianjin, Lu Nanzhi remembered her saying that softness can overcome strength, so he walked over.
"Senior Sister Xu, Nanzhi would like to ask Senior Sister for swordsmanship. Can you please allow Senior Sister to come to our courtyard to drink tea?"
Xu Qianjin sheathed her sword and responded generously, "Okay, let's try your Yunwu Fairy Tea."
Lu Nazhi and Xu Qianjin went to Tianjian Peak with their swords in tandem.
At their feet, Xie Jingshan dragged Shen Huaixi all the way to the sparsely populated Tianhui Peak woods.
"Brother Jingshan knows how young Senior Sister Jiang is. I always feel that she is about the same age as me, but she is much more powerful than me, which is admirable."
"Why are you asking about her all the time? Tomorrow I will help you ask what year and month she was born. Have you thought about how I will inject this needle?"
"Just stay here. It might hurt a little. Brother Jingshan, please don't scream."
"Okay, come on...uhhhhh!"
…
At the top of Tianhui Peak, in the main hall.
Li Fantao sat at the top, drank tea from Ge Yuchan, and watched her kowtow and call her master.
Li Fantao helped Ge Yuchan up, "Have you ever complained about not holding a apprenticeship ceremony for you? Tell the truth."
Ge Yuchan struggled for a moment and nodded, "A little... unhappy."
Li Fantao was born ordinary, with a gentle temper and a bit of wisdom in his eyes.
"If you say anything in the future, you don't have to hide it from me. I have always kept a low profile in Tianyan Sect. When I reach the middle stage of Nascent Soul, I will accept you as a disciple. I know you want to stand out and become famous, but I want to warn you."
"If you don't have outstanding strength, being ordinary is the way to go. Being lost in the crowd doesn't mean you are unimportant. Each of these living beings has a role and is an indispensable part in maintaining the operation of heaven. Don't underestimate yourself. Ordinariness is sometimes a kind of protection and a kind of freedom.”
Ge Yuchan raised her head and stared at Li Fantao.
"Zhenjun Fuyi has been a strong figure that has attracted much attention since he was a child. In the end, he was burdened by his false reputation. He couldn't help himself in everything. He misunderstood his true intention and gave birth to inner demons. So I hope you don't care about other people's eyes and just seek peace and contentment in your own mind. .”
"Yes, I will obey my master's instructions."
Ge Yuchan didn't seem to understand, but she could feel that the master was really doing her best.
"Okay, next, I will personally teach you Tianhuifeng's exercises..."
…
The green bamboos are shady and the clouds are misty.
"Yunshang, wait."
Yu Qiuchi hurriedly stopped Yun Shang outside the corridor of the training room. Yun Shang frowned and backed away.
Yu Qiuchi was cautious, not daring to get too close, and handed the storage bag in his hand to Yun Shang.
"I know you want to retreat and build your foundation. These things are..."
Yun Shang immediately refused, "I appreciate Uncle Yu's kindness. I have figured it out a lot now. Although I no longer hate you, I don't want to have too much contact with you. You don't have to please me everywhere."
When Yun Shang said he didn't hate it, Yu Qiuchi's smile was as bright as the sunshine after the rain.
"You misunderstood. In fact, this thing was... your parents told me to give it to you when you were building the foundation."
Yun Shang raised her head in surprise and stared into Yu Qiuchi's eyes uncharacteristically, making sure that what she said was true or false.
"Is this really what my parents left for me?"
Yu Qiuchi said resolutely, "Well, there is a letter from them inside. You must read it before building the foundation."
Yu Qiuchi stepped forward and pressed the storage bag into Yun Shang's hand, "I wish you success in building the foundation and being able to reach the third level Taoist platform."
After saying that, Yu Qiuchi left neatly.
Yun Shang hurriedly opened the storage bag and saw two foundation-building pills inside, as well as some pills that protect the pulse and strengthen the energy, all of which were high-level.
She took out the letter and read it carefully, covering her mouth with tears welling up in her eyes. Every word in it made her heart loosen.
"It turns out you didn't have to go because of me. I didn't harm you..."
Yun Shang wiped away her tears, solemnly put the letter away and pressed it in her arms.
She took the elixir and went to retreat, and was led to the best practice room by the old monk in charge.
Yun Shang was surprised. The old monk said that the training room was tight and this was the only one left.
After closing the door for Yunshang, as soon as the old monk came out, he saw Yu Qiuchi standing at the end of the corridor and thanked him.
Afterwards, Yu Qiuchi sat silently outside Yunshang's retreat, guarding her every step of the way.
The old monk watched from a distance and sighed: "She solved the knot in her heart, but who solved the knot in her heart? The person who should have made the elixir long ago was delayed here. It's all cause and effect, it's all inner demons!"
…
On Tiangang Peak, civil engineering was rebuilt.
"Master, help me!"
He Wangchen hurriedly ran outside the summit hall, smashed the door and shouted.
"Senior Sister Tang made a mistake in setting up the formation, and she is about to be trapped in the formation. Come out and have a look, Master, help me -"
Not far away, the handymen repairing the house whispered.
"Here he comes again, three to five times a day, shouting every day."
"What else did he shout yesterday afternoon? The evil monks broke through the Tianyan Sect and asked Zhenjun Fuyi to come out to save lives."
"Don't tell me, yesterday he was covered in chicken blood. I almost believed him. It scared me."
"Alas, True Lord Fu Yi locked himself in the main hall and could not come out. The first True Lord of the Formation, who was so arrogant at the time, is probably going to collapse."
He Wangchen couldn't call out Mr. Fuyi, so he was dejected and sat at the door, minding his own business.
"Master, today I officially started to learn the Bibo Tianluo Formation. I am already familiar with the formation diagram and the formation points, but I have set it up many times without success. The first failure was when I just entered the third formation point..."
He Wangchen rambled on, talking about one thing after another from the time the sun was shining in the sky until the sun set over the mountains. He also used stones to write and draw on the ground, all of which were formation diagrams.
"...I just can't figure it out. I was right in everything, so why did I fail in the end? Master, am I stupid? I...well!"
A piece of paper flew out from the crack in the door of the main hall and slammed into He Wangchen's face. He grabbed the paper and drew a formation diagram on it, marking it with a red pen to correct his previous mistakes.
He Wangchen cheered when he saw it was his master's note.
"Master, I understand! I'm going to rearrange the formation right now. If I have any questions, I'll come back and ask for advice!"
"Senior Sister Tang, Master has returned my favor, Master has returned my favor, hahaha."
He Wangchen danced and ran past the handyman after work.
"It seems that Zhenjun Fuyi is not too depressed. You guys, why don't you go to the restaurant and have some drinks? The new Sangluo wine from Huaxi Valley will relieve your fatigue. After drinking it, you will have a good sleep and your whole body will feel refreshed."
"Let's go have a drink."
…
In the outer restaurant, Qi Yue frowned and walked out of the back hall quickly.
A fat monk followed up with a smile on his face. He was obviously higher in cultivation than Qi Yue, but he still flattered him by calling him senior sister.
"Senior Sister Qi, my dear senior sister, please share more of the spiritual vegetables, spiritual fruits, spiritual fish and spiritual poultry meat from your Huaxi Valley with our Tianyong Peak Restaurant."
"Most of us at Tianyong Peak are inner-sect martial arts cultivators who exercise and eat a lot on weekdays. They say that the food from your Huaxi Valley can strengthen their bodies. Now they all go to the outer-sect restaurants to eat. The restaurant is about to close."
Qi Yue had been pestered by Zhang Biao for three days. She was blocked wherever she went. It was really annoying.
"I have said many times that Huaxi Valley has made a contract with the Ministry of Internal Affairs to give priority to ensuring the supply of external restaurants. There will be several requests to increase the supply. It is really difficult to even out that much."
Zhang Biao gave Qi Yue a spiritual stone and said, "Senior Sister Qi, this is about eating. There will always be losses during picking and transportation. Just think of a way..."
Qi Yue was furious, "You! Senior Sister Jiang is kind to me. I will never do such a thing to regret her. If you do this again, I will..."
"Ah Yue!"
Qi Ming suddenly appeared, walked quickly to Qi Yue, and said to Zhang Biao calmly: "My girl is young and ignorant, no offense intended."
Qi Yue glared at Qi Ming, who blocked her behind.
"Senior Sister Jiang has always made the decision in Huaxi Valley. True Lord Jiuchuan doesn't care. My sister doesn't have the courage to disobey orders. She is currently in seclusion at the Supreme Elder's house. If senior brother is in a hurry, it is better to go to Tianxian Peak..."
Zhang Biao's expression froze and he waved his hand quickly.
Qi Ming smiled and said, "In that case, I'll trouble you, senior brother, to wait a few days. When Senior Sister Jiang comes out of confinement, my sister will report this matter to Senior Sister Jiang as soon as possible. What do you think, Senior Brother?"
Seeing this, Zhang Biao could only nod and told Qi Yue to report it as soon as possible.
Qi Ming agreed on behalf of Qi Yue. As soon as Zhang Biao left, Qi Yue immediately said angrily: "When was it your turn to intervene in the affairs of Huaxi Valley?"
Qi Ming sighed and explained patiently: "The King of Hell is easy to meet, but the kid is difficult to deal with. There is no difference between monks and secular people. Senior Sister Jiang is in the limelight now, and there are so many people who want to see her fall. At this time, you must not flatter others because of it." You get carried away by trying to please.”
"They flatter you because of Senior Sister Jiang. Now you should be more cautious and keep a low profile. Don't offend anyone, and don't let others take advantage of you. What should you do if you injure Senior Sister Jiang for no reason?"
"If you want to rely on her to practice, you must never do anything that harms her reputation and interests. You have always been careful, organized, and good at handling domestic affairs. But in external affairs, you are young, so you should talk less and watch more. It’s good to study more.”
Qi Yue listened to Qi Ming's words and knew that her brother cared about her. Now she looked at Qi Ming carefully and found that he was different from before.
He had always been gloomy before, hiding in the shadows, but now standing in the sunshine, Qi Yue realized that his brother had matured a lot and looked very reliable.
Thinking of Lin Xiangtian's incident, Qi Yue asked awkwardly, "Are you... settled?"
Qi Ming smiled bitterly, "Not yet, Lin Xiangtian's matter has caused a storm in the city, and it was Jiuchuan Zhenjun who personally took action. No one dared to take over the handymen and apprentices around him, for fear of being implicated, so I have free time now, so hurry up first Practice for a while.”
Qi Yue's heart moved and she bit her lip. In the end, she didn't speak and just looked in the direction of Tianxian Peak.
"It has been nine days since the competition ended. When will Senior Sister Jiang come back? There are still many things in Huaxi Valley waiting for her to make up her mind."
Qi Ming also looked at Tianxian Peak, "The Supreme Elder enlightened me. The longer the time, the better."
