No matter how long the journey is, it will eventually be completed one day.
More than a month later, Wei Shiqi returned to the Xiandu Sect. It was already midsummer, and the sound of cicadas filled the mountains and was deafening.
When passing Tiandu Peak, he saw that a new group of trial disciples had already moved into the stone room. The ones guiding them were Lu Shizhong with a long beard, Zhang Jinghe in a yellow shirt, and a familiar stocky man.
He is also a disciple of the outer sect of Xiandu, named Hou Jiangcheng. He once led the leading horse and unloaded a bag of rice, flour and vegetables amidst the jingling of camel bells. He also gave guidance to Wei Shiqi in Qiutao Valley. Under the crooked neck tree was the residence of senior brother Yunhe.
Wei Shiqi looked at the unfamiliar and young trial disciples, as if he saw himself again.
Time flies so fast. In the blink of an eye, three years have passed by quietly. He has become an inner disciple of Xiandu, and his vision is set on the sword theory in Chixia Valley ten years later. When the sloppy Qi Yunhe led him to Tiandu Peak for the first time, did he ever think that this apprentice with low qualifications would be where he is today? There is no point in dying. I can only comfort myself in this way.
After stopping for a moment, sighing and continuing on the road, Wei Shiqi climbed all the way to Xianyun Peak. He first found Chen Suzhen, took her and secretly hid aside, and without saying a word, took out a jade ring and gave it to her.
"Calming jade!" Chen Suzhen was worthy of being a merchant, and she really knew the goods. She laughed, "Junior brother Wei, you seem to have gained a lot from this trip. Tell me, where did you get it?"
Wei Shiqi did not hide anything, and said a few words about blackmailing Qi Gu, the high priest of the Gaoyantuo tribe. Chen Suzhen was amazed and told him that the skull in Qi Gu's hand was called the Ghost Skeleton. It was a powerful magical weapon, but it was a pity that he encountered it. The golden phoenix sickle, which burns the body with fire, is naturally capable of restraining ghosts. If not for Yu Yao's insufficient cultivation, he could have subdued the ghosts with just one face-to-face encounter. As for the wooden ring that was crushed when praying for a bone to escape, it was probably refined by ascetic monks from the Western Regions. "Substitute Wood", which can be crushed in a critical moment and can turn the physical body into nothingness and teleport it several miles away.
Chen Suzhen had a wide range of ambitions, and she fell into Wei Shiqi's trap. He simply poured out a pile of debris from the rotten silver ring and asked her for advice one by one.
Chen Suzhen looked at them one by one and said eloquently: "This jasper girdle is extremely precious, emerald green as water, without a trace of impurities, priceless, but it is just a plaything. The two jade rings are made of calming jade, and they are always worn with a pure heart. The effect of calming the mind is of great benefit to the condensation of Taoism. The copper ring and the stone ring are a pair, one is the "copper heart" and the other is the "stone lung". The copper heart can absorb the energy of Lihuo, and the stone lung can absorb the water of Gui. The Qi helps to get started with swordsmanship and break through the three small barriers and one bottleneck. The wooden ring is made of good material. The wood core of the ten thousand-year-old dragon wood has a faint fragrance, which can drive away the fishy smell on the body. Other than that, there is nothing special about it. Function. Those few pieces of ore are quite valuable. The two larger pieces are black iron and the smaller ones are seabed cold iron. The cold iron sinks on the seabed and is guarded by the dragon. I heard that only the Biluo Sect of the East China Sea can collect a small amount. It’s so rare.”
Wei Shiqi casually took a piece of black iron and stuffed it into her hand, saying: "The jade ring of calming spirit is a gift from junior brother to honor senior sister. This piece of black iron is considered as a thank you gift. Thank you senior sister for your advice."
Chen Suzhen was not polite, put the ring and black iron into his sleeve, and reminded him: "These things are all returned, but this rotten silver ring is of great origin. If I guessed correctly, it was probably left by an ancient monk." Junior brother, it's best to hide the storage ring and don't wear it on your hand. If it falls in the eyes of interested people, I'm afraid it will arouse people's jealousy and cause trouble."
Wei Shiqi's heart trembled and he said, "Senior Sister reminded me." He immediately took off the ring from his index finger and put it away separately.
Chen Suzhen hesitated for a moment, then said with a smile: "Junior brother, these belt rings and the like are of no use if you keep them around. It is better to show filial piety to your teacher and give them to fellow disciples in exchange for personal favors."
Wei Shiqi followed suit and said, "What the senior sister said is that we are planning to do a favor, but there are only a few things. Who should I give them to?"
Chen Suzhen thought for a while and said: "The jasper belt honors the master, the copper heart and stone lungs honor the master, the calming jade ring honors Master Deng, and you can handle the rest by yourself, how about it?"
"Very good, thank you, senior sister!"
Chen Su was really satisfied. She had been trying to get closer to the other party. Wei Shiqi went down the mountain to experience, and as soon as he returned to the mountain, he took the initiative to come to find her, and also presented him with a calming jade ring and black iron. The previous efforts were indeed in vain.
The two chatted for a few more words, and Chen Suzhen urged him to quickly go and see the master and uncle, and then Wei Shiqi set off.
He successively visited Xi Huzi of Lianhuatai, Deng Yuantong of Wuxie Waterfall, and Wei Rongniang of Xiuli Cave. He repeated three times how he defeated the Tiebei cavalry and forced Qi Gu to swear an oath to restrain the Gao Yantuo tribe. Xi Huzi was noncommittal, and Deng Yuantong They were quite pleased, and Wei Rongniang greatly appreciated it. As for the gift of filial piety to their teacher, they all accepted it. Of course, no one said a polite word.
If Chen Suzhen hadn't suggested it, he wouldn't have known that even immortals had such a rule.
After everything was taken care of, Wei Shiqi went to see his junior sister Qin Zhen.
