Rong Lao took her out, and said as he walked: "This spiritual garden does not occupy a large area, but many of them are precious seeds left by the ancestor back then. Because the Danfang and skills of the year have not been passed down, many spirit grasses are no longer known for their use. But this is inherited by the ancestors, and it cannot be discarded at will, and it must be taken care of. You look at the east, there are all spiritual grasses, like Luan Ming branches, Luo Sheng grass, these are gentle temperaments, you look at the south, it is the root of fire, to be nourished by the fire of Nanming, so the two should be farther away. ”

He pointed to the west and said, "You see that there are spiritual roots over there, and they will grow for hundreds of years at every turn. ”

Gu Yan followed him like this, turned around the entire Spiritual Garden, and also saw a lot of strange flowers and alien species that he had only heard of but had never seen when he was in Yueguo. After all the turns, Rong Lao took her back to the small courtyard in the southeast corner, and then said: "Your task is to inspect the Spiritual Garden every day to see if the flowers and plants are withered, or if they do not grow, and then report to me, I will slowly teach you the method of raising, if you have the heart, it will not take three or five years, you will naturally learn these things, and then you will be enough to take care of the Spiritual Garden." ”

Gu Yan respectfully agreed, regardless of whether she really wanted to stay here for three or five years, but she really wanted to learn how to nourish the spirit grass from Rong Lao, after all, as an alchemist, she always had to bring some materials by herself. And Gu Yan is really not very proficient in this aspect, otherwise the purple flower in her chaotic space would not have grown for decades and not finally bloomed.

After listening to Rong Lao's instructions, she went to the deacon hall in the mountain gate and received a set of clothes and bedding for the disciples of the outer gate, which can be regarded as officially joining the Bixia Sect. became an outer disciple.

When she was in the deacon's hall, she saw seven or eight little girls and two teenagers. They all stood there, led by Lin Zitong, probably the disciples recruited by the Bixia Sect into the mountain gate this time. Wei Zhaoyi was also among them, just standing in zuihou. Stand at the front of the new disciples. Only two positions away from Lin Zitong is a tall little girl, her skin is fair and cold, like a jade carving, her neck is raised high, revealing a touch of snow-white skin, with a sense of arrogance between her eyebrows, other book friends look at it normally:. Gu Yan couldn't help but be surprised in his heart, it was actually the Shuimu Twin Spirit Root!

Moreover, her water spirit root is extremely pure, and in Cangwu, it can be regarded as a rare immortal cultivator. It seems that in this disciple's entry test, she must have won the first place.

Gu Yan took the things, and looked at these new disciples, although they were just getting started, they all had very high hearts, and they didn't look at her, an outer disciple, and stood at Zuihou. Wei Zhaoyi, who was a little timid, cast an encouraging look, and then went back to the Spiritual Garden on her own.

Next, Gu Yan stepped into her leisurely life as a "disciple of the Qi Refining Period".

Rong Lao is not a strict person. As long as you finish your own work every day, then you don't care about anything else. Gu Yan got up every morning, first used her divine thoughts to check the entire spiritual garden, to see where the spiritual grass was in the way, and where the terrain had changed, so that the operation of the spiritual energy would change, and then reported to Rong Lao one by one, her efficiency in doing so was naturally much higher than that of the disciples who guarded the spiritual garden in the past. Within a month, Rong Lao began to look at her differently, Gu Yan began to ask him about the matter of cultivating spirit grass, Rong Lao also gave answers one by one, and said with emotion: "The current monks, one by one, are thinking about how to improve their cultivation, desperately trying to refine those domineering pills, in fact, the matter of alchemy, originating from the earth, the law is in nature, and the forced blind rebellion will inevitably leave hidden dangers. ”

Gu Yan has been by his side these days, and he has listened to his nagging, so he replied: "Maybe it's because the ancient spirit grass is full of spiritual energy, and now it can't cultivate such materials, so you can only use Danfang to aggravate the medicinal properties, and you can't do it." ”

Rong Lao sighed: "Because they don't know, cultivating spiritual grass requires care." If those ancient spiritual roots were still there, it would take me hundreds of years to cultivate spiritual grass that was similar to the previous one. It's a pity. ”

Gu Yan's heart moved when he heard this, and asked, "I heard that the Bixia Sect used to have the same origin as the Danding Sect, so there must be a lot of ancient spirit species hidden in the sect?" ”

Rong Lao sighed, "You probably also know that the earliest spiritual garden of Bixia Sect is in the back mountain, at that time I was not long in the beginning, and I followed the ancestor to serve the spiritual garden, but then something happened, a fire burned all there, and I desperately grabbed a little bit, and the spiritual garden here is still collected from the outside little by little by several generations of heads, compared to the previous grand occasion, tsk,:! ”

There was a look of nostalgia in his eyes, "Do you know how big the previous spiritual garden was, it was the spiritual energy of the country, but it was a pity that a fire burned down the leylines." At that time, there were thousands of Pearls Grass alone! ”

Gu Yan was taken aback suddenly, the Bead Spirit Grass is a necessary material for refining Zhuji Dan, and there are only seven or eight plants in this Spirit Garden. There are a number of them, and she can't use them if she wants to secretly get some leaves, and there are thousands of them in the original spiritual garden! Gu Yan couldn't help but think about it, if he could guard that spiritual garden, how many medicinal materials would he have for alchemy?

Rong Lao said at this time: "I see that you also know about alchemy, this spiritual garden is originally semi-deserted, there are pills but no materials, after all, it will not be useful, except for a few kinds of medicinal materials, which are personally ordered by the head of the house, and cannot be used externally, what do you want, just take it." ”

Gu Yan knew that this was Rong Lao's care for him, so he thanked him respectfully. She was in the Spirit Garden, and after checking the situation as usual every day, she would come to the place where the old man lived, report to him, and then listen to him talk about some of the essentials of cultivating the spirit grass and the story of the year, and when it was about noon, she would prepare her own alchemy. After careful consideration, Gu Yan still decided to refine the Snow Melting Pill.

This is a holy medicine for the Zhuji monks to heal their wounds, and it also has a certain effect on the Jiedan monks, which is much better than the medicinal effect of the Qingyun Pill, and the materials in the spiritual garden can be made up, and the remaining one or two are not very difficult to find, and it is very useful to reconcile the damaged meridians in her body. It's just that she only heard this pill say it back then, but the materials have not been complete, and there are three most important main medicines, which have never been seen in Yue Kingdom and Guixu Sea, otherwise in the battle with demon beasts, she refined this elixir, at least she could save the lives of a few more Zhu Palace monks.

Because she had never refined the Snow Melting Pill, she prepared a lot of materials at the beginning, and after two trials, the furnace was officially opened, during which there was a gap of several months. During this time, she would go to the Dharma Hall once a month to listen to the sermons, and most of the rest of the days were spent in the Spirit Garden, where she studied so many exotic flowers and plants. Sometimes, the Wei brothers and sisters, as well as Lin Zitong, will come to play with her.

Wei Zhaoyi entered the Bixia Sect, worshiped under Gan Biwu's door, and was considered a disciple of the head, and Wei Qing and Lin Zitong took care of her, and she would not be angry, she was an innocent and lively age, she was a newcomer, and there were not many people she knew, Lin Zitong was a disciple of the head of the family, and she had to take care of the affairs of the Bixia Sect, Wei Qing was a man, and she couldn't go to the places where there were many female disciples in the Inner Sect at will, and the Lingyuan was outside the mountain, not only secluded, but also beautiful, so Wei Zhaoyi always pulled Wei Qing here to play, and Lin Zitong sometimes came. And when they first arrived in Bixia Sect, they met the disciple surnamed Zhang outside the mountain gate, and later Gu Yan knew that his name was Zhang Daniu, I heard that when he was a child, he was herding cattle for people, he originally only had a shallow spiritual root, and no one looked down on him after worshipping the teacher a few times, and then an elder of Bixia Sect accidentally found that he had some talent in alchemy, so he accepted him into the door and cultivated him with heart. He started later than Lin Zitong, he has a simple temperament, and he can talk to Wei Qing very well, and he is learning alchemy, so he often runs to the Spirit Garden, and he is familiar with Gu Yan like this.

Wei Zhaoyi will come almost every three or five days, most of them are pulling Wei Qing, sometimes Lin Zitong will also come, and a few people are not far away, just find a vacant land in the spiritual garden, drink tea, talk about the sky, in Zhang Daniu's words, looking at the sky and mountains, smelling the fragrance of medicine, there is no fun. Sometimes he would bring a bottle of home-brewed medicinal wine, saying that it was a secret recipe passed down by his master, and that the nun would drink it to nourish her heart and beauty, and then the three maidens would snatch it up, leaving the two teenagers to look at each other.

Gu Yan is living such a leisurely and comfortable life, which she has never experienced in her nearly 100-year cultivation career, she has been alone since she left Tianmu Mountain, rarely accompanied by others, and later cultivated to get higher, all day long either shouting and shouting and killing, or being chased, experiencing life and death hardships, there are very few such leisurely days, even when the Gu family in Qingyun Mountain, there are no such comfortable days. So she actually enjoyed this kind of life a little, anyway, she came to Cangwu alone, and there was nothing important to do, and the injury needed to be slowly recuperated, and she couldn't come in a hurry, so she took root in Bixia Sect with peace of mind.

In an instant, half a year passed, and Gu Yan's cultivation slowly rose to the fifth layer of qi refining, which also made her sigh that Cangwu's immortal cultivation environment was indeed better than Shenzhou, but if it went on like this, she didn't know what year and month it would take to recover her vitality, and in the past six months, she also tried to open the furnace twice, although this commonly used Dan furnace is not easy to use Cangwu's materials, but it can barely be used, so she decided to open the furnace to refine the Snow Melting Pill.
