Changning chatted with Bai Xue for a while, and after understanding all the things that had happened in many sects this year, he returned to his own Qifeng Residence, and after a while, Bai Xue also sent the grass and wood elves to send gifts and gift lists. Bai Xue prepared very thoroughly, not only the Shen family and Shen Sanniang had a special copy, but even the same door of Qingyang Palace prepared one by one, so that they could pay more attention to the Shen family, after all, they couldn't save the fire from far water.

Changning is grateful for her sister's intentions, but in addition to the Shen family, she also wants to prepare one for Eminem and Qingdai, especially Eminem, she is old, Changning wants to prepare some pills to nourish her body for Eminem's health, so that she can enjoy her old age with her father. Qing Dai and Ah Cheng have no spiritual roots, and they don't know how they are cultivating now. Changning counted with her fingers, and found that she still had to prepare a lot of things, and she didn't want to trouble Bai Xue, this kind of pill prepared with mortals and martial cultivators, there should be a lot of sects. Changning thought about it in the study for a while, grinded and wrote a gift list, and went out in a dress.

She was going to the Sect's Foreign Affairs Hall, and heard from her senior brother that the Foreign Affairs Hall could almost have a qiē pill needed below the foundation building, and there were also pills for mortals to nourish their bodies, and cultivators were also raised by their parents, especially the monks in the foundation building period, and their close relatives often did not pass away, so they needed these pills even more. Changning beckoned the spirit bird to go straight down to the Xia Peak, the peak under the big lake, the lake water is surging, the blue waves are ten thousand, because the time is a little late, most of the people who support the raft on the lake have rested, and there are few bamboo rafts on the lake.

Changning stood by the lake looking for someone, but heard someone behind him ask with a smile: "Little junior sister, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”

Changning turned around and saw an old man with white hair striding towards her, the old man was still holding a fishing rod in his hand, and a wine gourd was about to fall from his waist, obviously just coming back from fishing, Changning smiled and said: "Senior brother, don't come to harm." "At the beginning of Changning's entry, this old man sent her out of the Taishang Cave, and then Changning would find this old man whenever he took a bamboo raft, and the two of them were also forgetful in a few years.

"TOEFL." The old man threw out the small bamboo raft that fell on his waist, "Where does the senior sister want to go?" ”

"I'm going to the Foreign Affairs Hall." Changning said.

The old man stood on tiptoe and stepped on the bamboo raft steadily, "Senior sister, but have you gone out to practice?" ”

"Yes, I was walking around the neighborhood, but something happened on the way, and it took more than a year to go." Changning said.

"When you go out, there will always be some accidents, as long as you come back safely, although the life of the sect is stable, it is not as much as the experience outside." The old man comforted Changning and said, "I see that the aura on my junior sister's body is restrained, is it because of the improvement of cultivation?" That's a good thing. ”

"That's right, when I go out to practice for a year, I encounter more things than the sect for ten years." Changning sighed, thinking back to the various things she encountered this year, she couldn't compare with her previous two lives combined, not to mention several life and death crises.

"So take advantage of your young age to go out and walk more." The old man smiled loudly.

Changning handed a purse to the old man, "Senior brother, this is the spirit wine I bought for you during my training, it is not different from our Middle-earth style, you can taste it." ”

The old man's eyes lit up, and he took the purse, which was a storage gourd the size of twenty thumbs, he picked up one and entered the aura, the gourd became larger, he unscrewed the lid and took a big sip, "Good wine!" He praised repeatedly, "Thank you, senior sister, for bothering me, how many spirit stones do you want in total?" ”

"I knew that the senior brother would like it, it's not expensive, two hundred spirit stones." Changning said.

The old man said suspiciously: "Senior sister, don't lie to me, how can such a good wine be so cheap?" "The spirit wine he usually drinks is also at such a price, the taste is far inferior to this wine, and the quantity is too different.

"I didn't lie to my senior brother, I bought it with someone else, and that person bought a lot of things, so these spirit wine shopkeepers are cheap." Changning explained that she did not deceive the old man, this spirit wine was bought by Mu Da and others, and at that time, there were also two gold pills from the Lion Demon King and the Demon Demon sworn brothers. Mu Da and the others usually practice in the Mu Linyuan Cave Heaven, and they drink when they have nothing to do, and there is a lot of good wine stored in the cave. Except for a few Buddhist monks who strictly abide by the rules and precepts, most of the monks drank wine, Changning tasted it, felt that this wine tasted good, and bought a lot of it himself, just this time to do favors.

The old man gave Changning two hundred spirit stones, and gave her several bamboo slips, "I have good wine in my life, except for a few wine gourds, there is nothing else valuable, these bamboo slips are what I experienced when I was young, and my sister read it as a travel book." ”

Changning hurriedly got up and took the bamboo slip with both hands, "Thank you senior brother for teaching me." "The old man's cultivation is no longer as good as Changning's, but he was born as a real casual cultivator, and he has been crawling in the sinister cultivation world all his life, and a lot of his experience in handling things is not something that can be taught by masters and gentlemen.

"I'm not as high as you now, where did I teach you anything?" The old man laughed, "Senior sister, did you go to the Foreign Affairs Hall to hand in the results of your training?" ”

"No, I want to change some health pills for Fu Mu and my father, I will be in retreat in a few days, and I don't know when I will be able to come out, I want to prepare more, so that they can have no worries in their old age. There are also my sister and brother, they enter the Tao with martial arts, and I also want to give them some pills. "The master said that she would stay in the ice abyss for fifty years, and I wonder if Eminem and Aunt will still be there after fifty years? Changning hopes that they can die without illness and disaster in their lives, which is the greatest blessing for ordinary people.

"You've got a heart." The old man bowed his head approvingly, "The value of these pills is not low, does the junior sister have so many contribution points?" He could see that Changning was an excellent disciple who was not short of resources, but the contribution points were not spirit stones, which needed to be saved up slowly.

"I should be enough." Changning said uncertainly, he really didn't know how many contribution points he had, "Senior brother, what kind of pill do you say I'm going to exchange for my nursing brother and nursing sister?" She knew that the old man was also born in Wu Xiu, so she should be very familiar with Wu Xiu's elixir.

The old man told Changning several kinds of pills in detail, Changning wrote them down one by one, and when he arrived at the foreign affairs hall, Changning said to the old man: "Senior brother Lao is waiting here for a while." ”

"I'll be fishing here, junior sister, just go." The old man smiled and said, "Don't worry. ”

"Okay." Changning smiled brightly, turned around and walked towards the Foreign Affairs Hall. Compared with the deacon's hall of the Xuanyin sect on the underworld, the external affairs hall of the sect is more magnificent, brilliant and luxurious, the hall gate is at least fifty meters high, and there are two imposing dragon statues on both sides of the main hall, these two statues are actually two puppets with Jindan cultivation.

Changning walked into the Foreign Affairs Hall from the side door, first clicked on the disciple token, and saw that 10,000 points were written on it, her heart was slightly relieved, she remembered that the senior sister said that she had a lot of contribution points, but she is still a Taoist now, and it is easy to cause unnecessary trouble if she gives it in one breath, she saves some for herself first, and then asks her if it is not enough. Of course, 10,000 points is not less, but many people in the Taoist children have this number, and they are all sent by their parents.

Almost all of the monks on duty in the Foreign Affairs Hall are over 50 years old, but have not yet built a foundation, and if these people do not have great perseverance and great opportunity, the path of this life will end here, so most of them have no intention of forging ahead, so they are sent to these cumbersome posts on duty. There are hundreds of thousands of Taoist children recruited by Taishang Sect every ten years, but there are only a thousand people who can become outer disciples after ten years, and becoming an outer disciple does not mean that it is once and for all, if you still can't build a foundation before the age of fifty, you must take on the external affairs of the sect, and there are never more than 100 people who can persist in cultivation after fifty years.

The Taishang Cave is full of spiritual energy, and as long as the monks who come in don't want to go out, because many people want to stay here, even if they do tedious mundane affairs. Of course, after the disciples enter the foundation building period, the sect also has affairs to be distributed, but this kind of affairs is relatively leisurely, so that the disciples have a lot of time for cultivation.

Changning chose a middle-aged female cultivator who seemed to have a kind face, "Senior sister is polite. ”

"Senior sister, are you here to hand in the harvest or do you want to exchange something for huàn?" The middle-aged female cultivator couldn't help but smile on her face when she heard Changning call her junior sister, she couldn't see Changning's cultivation, obviously her cultivation was higher than herself, but she looked young, obviously she started later than herself, she was willing to call herself senior sister, obviously she was a person who knew how to be polite, and everyone liked polite people.

Changning thinks that she started late, and it doesn't matter if she breaks through the Jindan period one day, and if she doesn't break through the foundation, how much cultivation gap can she pull out with others? What's there to show? It doesn't lose anything to call a few more senior brothers and sisters, and it is convenient for people with sweet mouths to act wherever they go, "I want to exchange some pills." Changning handed over the gift list she had written, and she didn't use bamboo slips, but wrote them directly on the flower paper.

When the middle-aged female cultivator saw the dignified and mellow font, her heart added a little more favor, "Good words!" She praised it, Changning smiled, and the middle-aged female cultivator said, "Senior sister, you have most of the pills you want, but the bone strengthening cream has been missing for two months." ”

"Why?" Changning asked puzzledly, the bone strengthening paste is a commonly used quenching plaster for monks below the foundation, and the consumption is very large, how can it be gone?

"Because of the lack of the main ingredient flying snake horn, flying snakes are only available in the Great Wilderness, and only monks above the foundation of the sect can go to the Great Wilderness, and they used to be the foundation building disciples of the Taoist children to go to the Great Wilderness, and by the way, hunt some flying snakes, but now the master has let them retreat, and the flying snakes of the sect are used up." The middle-aged nun explained.

The flying snake is a kind of beast unique to the Great Wilderness, because it comes and goes without a trace, and its strength is infinite, only the foundation building monks who are fighting can have the power to fight, but this kind of snake flesh and blood horn bones are useless to the foundation building monks, and the most needed are those low-level monks who have not yet built the foundation, so except for some small foundation building monks who have just entered the foundation building, are curious about everything, and need to contribute points, no one is willing to do this laborious and unrewarding thing.

But since more than a year ago, the Dao Tong in the foundation building period was sucked into the Cang'er Secret Realm and lost more than a dozen people, the sect was distressed, and deepened the training of the Dao Tong, except for Changning and He Wanran, the Dao Tong in the foundation building period of the Taishang Sect were all taken to the secret realm by the Jindan monks for special training, without these hard-working little monks, many basic medicinal materials were missing, "The medicine hall is ready to report to the high-level, let the deacon hall send monks to the Great Wilderness to collect." ”

"Oh? Are they all going to the Great Wilderness to collect? How many medications are missing? Let me see. Changning said that as soon as she entered the sect, the master taught her, and the sect has always been a high-level monk who feeds the low-level, and as a disciple of the family, she occupied more resources than ordinary disciples at the beginning, and naturally the sect has more requirements for her than ordinary disciples.

Now that her cultivation is low, it is impossible for her to do big things for the sect, since this kind of small thing has been encountered by her, she has done it casually, where does it need to be reported to the deacon hall. Anyway, the master said that the most important thing for her now is not to cultivate, but to realize what she has learned so far.

"Senior sister is going to the Great Wilderness? Do you have a companion? The middle-aged nun asked with concern, ordered a few bamboo slips, and pointed out the required medicinal materials and the place where they were located to Changning.

"I'm enough for one person." Changning looked at these places, they were all near the sect, and the farthest was the gathering place of flying snakes, there was not much danger, she raised her hand and took over all these tasks.

The middle-aged female cultivator was taken aback, "Senior sister, the Great Wilderness is not as large as the territory of the sect, demon beasts and evil cultivators are rampant, you should be careful." ”

Changning smiled, "Thank you for your advice." "The place where the sect lets Xiaodaotong experience will not be very dangerous, she should be fine alone, she doesn't like to practice with strangers, if she has a similar temperament, it's okay, her personality is not compatible, and there is danger when she is training. Changning's eyes dimmed slightly, most of these things were done by Ah Ying with his younger brothers and sisters in the past.

Dao Tong respects the two of them as senior sisters, but Ah Ying has always been more competent than her, she spends a lot of time every year to take Dao Tong to practice, collect medicinal materials for them, and she is at most under the guidance of the sect Dao Tong practice. He Yanran killed those Taoist children, she must be very self-blaming, and it is not surprising that she will have demons. It's a pity that I didn't pay attention at first, otherwise I would not have let those innocent children die in vain if I had acted earlier.

Changning took the task and walked out of the main hall, first sent a message to Bai Xue, telling her that she had taken a few tasks in the Foreign Affairs Palace, and that she might have to go out for a few days, and looked for the old man by the lake, and found that he was lying on the bamboo raft to take a nap, Changning walked over with a smile, "Senior brother." ”

"Senior sister, are you done? Ready to go back? The old man put down the wine gourd and said.

"No, I'm going out of the cave, I took a few missions to the Great Wilderness in the Foreign Affairs Palace." Changning said.

"Oh? What task did my sister take? The old man asked, Changning told him about the several tasks he had received, and the old man bowed slightly, "It's not too dangerous place, my junior sister's cultivation is not weak, and it's not too dangerous to go alone, but can you recognize the way?" "Changning has outstanding appearance and a lot of money, such a female cultivator is the most likely to be coveted, her cultivation is not weak, rather than looking for a team that does not know the roots, it is better to be alone. He was just a little worried about how this girl would recognize the way, he had known Changning for so long, and the most impressive thing was that once the little girl walked with a sword on the lake, and after a short distance, he watched her fly from a straight line to a diagonal line.

"I'll already know how to find my way." Changning said with confidence that she had asked her senior brother to teach her to recognize the way! Senior brother said, unless her divine sense is strong enough to a certain extent, it is still better than looking at the compass, although she still often takes forks in the road, but she can immediately realize that she is taking the wrong path, and she can adjust herself, much better than before! She is still going the wrong way, it must be because she is not skilled, and when she is proficient, she will not be!

Seeing that she was full of confidence, the old man was skeptical, "Senior sister, let's prepare an extra compass, and then tell your parents that if there is anything, they will come to pick you up." ”

"I've said it all, and I've got the compass ready." Changning obediently responded, people are willing to tell so many words, because they care about themselves, and she will not be ignorant.

"Then I wish my sister a full return." The old man laughed.

"Inherit Senior Brother Jiyan." Changning smiled and arched his hand.
