Chapter 52: Parting

"Master, are you leaving?" Hua Muwan asked as she looked at the salute placed on the bed.

"Well, we'll leave tomorrow morning." Gao Zhen picked up the bowl, took a bite of rice into his mouth, and said.

"Master, you just advanced today, are you going to leave tomorrow? No more days off? I'm going to sew you a new dress. Hua Muwan said with a frown.

"I'm sorry, but I have to go to the Southern Isles. Now that I've recovered from my injuries and learned how to fly, it's time to go. Gao Zhen looked up at the night outside the window, December had passed, and he had been in the White Valley for a month. Senior Fang told him that it was best to let An Lan take the powder ground from "Shenji Cistanche" before the end of winter, so as to help her recover as soon as possible.

"Are you looking for herbs for your sister?" Hua Muwan guessed Gao Zhen's thoughts.

"Well, she's in a bad condition, she's very sick." Gao Zhen replied in a low voice.

"Then I'll go with the master too! I have learned a lot now, and I can see more when I go to the Southern Islands with my master. And the salvage season is over, and Daddy has sold out the vicissitudes, so I just have to wait until December next year......" Hua Muwan's eyes suddenly lit up, and she was usually not very flexible in her head, and she suddenly gushed out, and the reasons jumped out one after another.

"Nope." Gao Zhen refused her before she could finish.

"Why not? I can take care of myself, and I don't have to worry about what I eat or drink! And I'm very well-behaved, I will listen to you whatever you say. Hua Muwan was a little unhappy and pouted.

"You listen to me what I say? Then I said, "You are not allowed to go." Gao Zhen grasped the small loophole in her language and said word by word.

"I ......" Hua Muwan was speechless all of a sudden, and her little face was flushed.

"Okay, okay, Mu Wan, listen to the words of the high immortal master. Don't you usually listen to the words of the High Immortal Master the most? Uncle Dong persuaded on the side.

"The Southern Islands are very dangerous, you must have heard of it. I came to the fairy world a few years before me, and you should know better than I do. There are all kinds of immortal beasts, alien beasts, and even ancient demon beasts, and it is simply a wild place, and there are hardly any human beings living there. My trip is all bad and auspicious, take you there, where can I rest assured? When he finished eating, he put his chopsticks on the bowl and wiped his mouth with a handkerchief.

"Hmm......" Hua Muwan lowered her head.

"It's the New Year soon, Happy New Year!" Gao Zhen stood up, walked to Hua Muwan's side, reached out and gently touched her head, just like stroking his own sister. To be honest, this month of getting along, Gao Zhen really regarded her as his other sister. How did you treat An Lan before, how did you treat her this month.

There is no such thing as "New Year" in the immortal world, because a year is too short for immortal cultivators with a long lifespan. As soon as they go into retreat, it will be ten years, or even a hundred years, and they will not care about the alternation of the seasons, the farewell of the old and the welcome of the new.

Therefore, this "Happy New Year" can only be understood by people from the present world like Gao Zhen and Hua Muwan.

"In the new year, cultivate hard, at least you have to memorize your heart. When you take the exam in the tunnel, you can't bring a diagram of the meridians of the human body into it. I have already written down the materials needed to promote to the second rank on paper and handed them over to Uncle Dong, those materials are not expensive, and you can buy them for a few silver dollars in the material shop. When your cultivation is enough, let Uncle Dong help you go to the Immortal Cultivation Sharing Store to refine and promote the elixir, and then you can reach the second order. Gao Zhen said to Hua Muwan very carefully.

"Master, you said it so carefully, did you ignore me in the future?" Hua Muwan stretched out her finger and poked Gao Zhen's waist with some grievances.

"That's it, I promise you, when Xinghai Pavilion recruits new students in the spring next year, I will definitely go to Ziwei City to see you take the exam. Maybe we can meet every day in the future, and the disciples of Xinghai Pavilion who have accepted the present world, I may be able to join them one day. Gao Zhen smiled and looked into Hua Muwan's eyes.

Her eyes are pure black, and her eyes are bright and generous like two black gems.

"Okay, then you're going to hook up with me!" Hua Muwan said with a small face.

"Okay." Gao Zhu stretched out his right hand and cocked his little thumb.

"Pull the hook, hang yourself, you can't change for a hundred years!" Hua Muwan happily reached out and hooked Gao Zhen's fingers, shaking while chanting the "incantation".

"By the way, master, I have something for you!" Hua Muwan suddenly remembered something, she turned around and ran into her room.

After a long day of tinkering, she walked out of the room with a stack of charms in her arms and placed them on a high pillow.

"Master, didn't you teach me how to draw talismans a few days ago? This is what I have been practicing drawing for the past few days, so you can bring it with you, master, maybe you can use it. Although some may be defective, haha. She said at the end, laughing to herself.

Gao Zhen stepped forward and reached out to pick up the charms and looked at them. A few days ago, he gave Hua Muwan a drawing he had drawn and asked her to practice according to it. This little girl is quite serious, and she has practiced so many runes that Uncle Dong bought back in one go. Gao Zhen smiled with satisfaction, feeling that this apprentice of his was quite promising.

......

......

......

The next morning, as soon as the rooster crowed, he got up from the bed. He had been in breath all night last night, and now he was full of spiritual energy and refreshed.

He roughly estimated that according to the map, if Edgeworth flown and traveled south from the White Valley along the Canglang River to the Southern Islands on the Sea of Dust, it would take a total of one day and one night. If you start now, you'll be there the next morning.

Yesterday he had made his preparations, and when he had finished his salute, he had simply made a cloth bag out of a piece of white cloth and carried it on his back. Compared to before he floated here, he carried a lot less things on his body. The materials for preparation have been used up, and the things I bring with me are basically some survival necessities.

Uncle Dong and Hua Muwan were already waiting outside the door, and they came together to see off Gao Pillow.

"Immortal Master Gao, I, Dong someone, am really, very grateful to you. You have helped us so much, this year's vicissitudes have been salvaged by a quarter more than in previous years, and you have also taught Mu Wan so much knowledge. To be honest, I'm a little reluctant to let the High Immortal Master leave! But Gao Xianshi is a master, and he has his own place to go, Dong is not talented, I dare not say much, I have some silver here, Gao Xianshi can take it, maybe he can use it. Uncle Dong said, and took out several silver dollars to give to Gao Zhen.

"Eh, eh, don't. Uncle Dong, I should be thanked, you are my savior, if you didn't rescue me from the river, Gao might have floated into the sea and eaten by the fish. With such great kindness, Gao is too late to reciprocate, how dare he accept your money. Gao Zhen waved his hand, which was resolutely unwanted.

"Master, you don't have to take the money, but I have to take it!" Hua Muwan said, her hands on her chest were spread out and stretched out in front of the high pillow, and on the palm of her hand was a small talisman made of red cloth.

"I feel that the master's luck has not been very good, bring this talisman that Mu Wan made for the master, and you won't be unlucky in the future!" Hua Muwan tied the talisman around her waist.

"Silly apprentice, if I'm unlucky, can I meet you?" Gao Zhen smiled and touched her head.

Hua Muwan looked at him blankly.

"Goodbye, we'll see you later!" Gao Zhen said, and gently stepped on the flying sword.
