Hong Ningxiang's trip can be regarded as picking up an apprentice for nothing.

However, after testing the spiritual root for Shui Ling'er, I couldn't help but feel a little worried, this girl turned out to be a waste material of four spiritual roots. Fortunately, Shui Ling'er has a sweet mouth, and when she sees the ninth master opening her mouth all day long, she calls Shigong. This voice of the master is not in vain, Shi Dingfeng also knows that since he himself agreed to accept Shui Ling'er, he must also give some benefits. Moreover, Shui Ling'er is her apprentice, if her cultivation is too low in the future, if people know about it, won't she smash her master's signboard, and his face will be dull.

So Shui Ling'er was lucky to get three precious elixirs from her master.

The Spiritual Pill can wash the marrow, and even change the spiritual root qualifications, especially the waste wood of the five spiritual roots and the four spiritual roots, after taking the spiritual elixir, there is a certain chance to reduce the spiritual root of one attribute, thereby improving the spiritual root qualification.

Shui Ling'er tried three times, and the whole person was cleaned inside and out without a trace of impurities, and barely washed off the metallic spiritual root, turning into a three-system spiritual root of wood, water and earth. Even if it was just a three-spirit root, Shui Ling'er was satisfied and happy for a long time.

Hong Ningxiang took the exam for her first, and found that the knowledge of immortal cultivation she had learned before was not systematic, and it was all stolen from her brother, so she chose a set of books on the introduction to immortal cultivation and the six arts. After she had studied these books from beginning to end, she taught her the "Tianyi Wood Life Formula" and "Xuan Yu Chaos Formula" to practice.

Originally, Hong Ningxiang almost forgot about the Ruyi lock, and didn't want Shui Ling'er to take the initiative to speak, saying that she wanted to return her half of the Ruyi lock.

"Since this wishful lock has been handed down by your grandfather, you can keep it. I had a thought. Second, it can also be used for self-defense. If you are out and about, if there is any danger, I will know your whereabouts. ”

Shui Ling'er shook her head. With a look of shame, he said, "Master, I have something to hide from you. Before her death, my mother said that if I met the owner of the other half of the Ruyi lock in the future, she asked me to return the lock. She said that it was confessed by her grandfather when he left. Since the Ruyi lock was originally the treasure of the master's family, it naturally had to be returned to the master. ”

Hong Ningxiang likes her honest temperament, although it took so long to say it. But it's also rare. Who gets the wishful lock and doesn't want to keep it for themselves? Although this apprentice is reluctant, he is not a greedy person.

"Okay, I'll take it back. But. Master gave you a magic weapon, the Phoenix Shadow Whip, which is made of Phoenix Divine Wood and contains a wisp of phoenix spirit. As long as you build the foundation as soon as possible, you will cultivate the two sets of Dao methods that I have passed on to you to the high-level realm. It will be able to play the role of this magic weapon. ”

Hong Ningxiang took out a box from the Qiankun bag. handed it over to Shui Ling'er.

This whip was specially refined by her Ninth Master, and it was specially equipped for Shui Ling'er's qualifications and exercise attributes.

Shui Ling'er was still in the Qi refining period and couldn't use the magic weapon, so this magic weapon was regarded as an incentive to her.

"Thank you, Master, the apprentice must seize the time to practice and live up to Master's expectations!" Shui Ling'er was ecstatic, since she fell in love with this powerful master, her life has been turned upside down.

Hong Ningxiang was afraid that Shui Ling'er would only care about practicing with his head bored. Lacking the training in the six arts, he asked Du Lao to work on the alchemy in Fengning Garden. A part of it was given to Shui Ling'er.

After settling Shui Ling'er, Hong Ningxiang began to prepare the cultivation items for this retreat. Shi Dingfeng had already prepared a retreat cave for her in the Haoyun Cultivation Realm Step Narcissus Palace, where tens of thousands of disciples of the Red Thorn Sect were guarded, so there was no need to worry about someone disturbing her retreat.

On the first night of leaving, an unexpected person suddenly visited Fengning Garden, which really surprised Hong Ningxiang.

Hong Ningxiang remembered that when he was a maid in Shifu, he had never met Shi Dingfeng's father, Shi Chengyan, that is, the seventh master of the Shi family. I only know that this seventh master was abolished by his father when the ninth master was a child, and then he has been eating fasting and chanting Buddha in a temple on Shixin Island, and has not returned home for many years. Just because the Seventh Master doesn't take care of the Ninth Master and is a wasted person, the Ninth Master lives like a parasitic fence in Shifu, and is not treated by relatives in the mansion.

It is said that this seventh master was abolished and cultivated, and he did not live long, but when Hong Ningxiang saw him in person, he felt that he was also in good spirits, and he was not as decadent as rumored.

The most surprising thing was that he didn't seem to have any special purpose in coming to Fengning Garden, just to have a homely meal.

But Hong Ningxiang didn't dare to slack off in the slightest, this is the future father-in-law, who knows if he heard any rumors, and knew that the ninth master had plans to marry her, so he came to see her, the future daughter-in-law?

At the dinner table, Hong Ningxiang sat on pins and needles, fortunately, the seventh master had a whim and wanted to drink with his son.

While the two of them were pushing the cups and changing the lamps, Hong Ningxiang hurriedly withdrew in advance, so that the father and son could catch up with each other.

The seventh master didn't say anything about her departure, just glanced at her, and continued to talk to his son.

Hong Ningxiang practiced for half a night, until sleepiness hit, he went back to the room to rest, who expected Shi Dingfeng to not return, until the second half of the night, he heard the movement of his return.

"Ninth Master, is your father gone?" yawned, and suddenly smelled a smell of wine, Hong Ningxiang immediately sobered up a little, got up and poured a cup of hot tea and handed it over.

Shi Dingfeng nodded and took a sip of tea, "Have you eaten enough for dinner?"

"Where to eat. In fact, if you don't eat, you're not hungry. ”

Shi Dingfeng looked at her sleepy-eyed appearance, took her hand and sat on the bed, "Why, are you so afraid of your future father-in-law?"

"No. Hong Ningxiang refused to admit it, "I'm just ...... I'm just a little nervous. However, Ninth Master, I remember, isn't your father out of cultivation? I don't think he looks old at all. ”

"My dad has been eating longevity pills. ”

"Oh. Hong Ningxiang asked again, "Didn't he eat fasting and chant Buddha in the temple, why did he still drink secretly?"

He was pleased. Shi Dingfeng put his chin on the top of her hair and rubbed it gently, "My father knows that I have found you and his grandson's mother, and he is very happy." If you're happy, why not have a drink. ”

"You...... You told him about me?" No wonder the Seventh Master looked at her with such kindness in his eyes, and when she greeted the Seventh Master, the Seventh Master was also very kind, and did not see her as a woman who suddenly broke into the world of the Ninth Master and rejected her arrival.

"Well, you are his future daughter-in-law, and it is impossible to hide your identity from him. Shi Dingfeng said, "In addition, my father mentioned to me some things between him and my mother back then. ”

"So your father came to you to talk about this?" Hong Ningxiang ran away from sleep, and couldn't wait to beg, "I want to listen too!"

"You asked me before, why did you attack the Demon Sect back then, in fact, the biggest reason is related to my father. Shi Dingfeng found a comfortable position, took her into his arms, and said softly, "The reason why Shifu's family rejected me is not entirely because of my father's incompetence, but also because of my mother's identity.
