Lan Yonghe was amused by the appearance of this little gluttonous cat: "Also, I'll go get it for you, you lie down!" ”

After that, Lin Twelve ate a big bowl of rice, mixed with shallots and tofu, and ate a lot of pastries before he recovered.

Zhang Xuzi was waiting for Lin Twelve on the stone bench outside the courtyard, and when he saw her come out full of food and drink, he asked, "Twelve, what happened to you in retreat for so many days?" ”

She was a little frustrated: "Master, I have disappointed you. ”

Zhang Xuzi asked tentatively: "Is it because the breakthrough in the foundation building period failed?" ”

Lan Yonghe looked at Lin Twelve with a look of surprise when he heard this: "You have cultivated to the thirteenth layer of the Qi Refining Stage so quickly?" I thought your master was going to give Tsukidan to someone else, but it was for you. ”

Lin Twelve nodded and shook his head, and said hesitantly: "I went directly to the twentieth layer——"

"What?!" Zhang Xuzi and Lan Yonghe exclaimed at the same time.

They had never heard of Lin Twelve's situation, and they had never seen it.

Originally, Zhang Xuzi, who saw that Lin Twelve had cultivated to the twelfth layer, hoped that she would be able to break through the foundation building period, and begged Lan Yonghe to get the elixir, but who knew that she had actually practiced to the twentieth layer of the qi refining period.

But what are these 20 floors like? No one has ever seen it, and even Zhang Xuzi doesn't know anything about it.

"Is there a record in that exercise book you read?" Zhang Xuzi asked, because he was not a spirit root, so he didn't pay attention to what was written in the exercise book for Lin Twelve.

Lin Twelve shook his head: "No, I have read that book several times, but I haven't seen any record of the alien spirit root breaking through the Qi refining period, and only the cultivation exercises are written in the whole book." ”

The three of them fell silent.

If Lin Twelve couldn't break through the foundation building stage and stayed in the Qi refining stage for the rest of her life, no matter how good the thunder spirit root seedlings in her body were, they wouldn't be able to blossom and bear fruit.

Immortal cultivators always pursue the Tao, and if there is no hope from the beginning, then the next day of cultivation will be despair.

Lan Yonghe comforted: "This is not a bad thing, although we haven't seen it, but maybe the Qi refining period of the alien spirit root is longer than that of ordinary monks, twelve, don't be discouraged, there is still a chance." ”

But how long is it? Ten floors are also long, and a hundred floors are also long, if you toss here again and again, then what's the point.

Lin Twelve didn't think there was anything on her own, after all, her task was not to cultivate immortals, but to help Qingfeng Mountain climb to the top.

It was Zhang Xuzi, an apprentice who had been looking forward to for so many years, but the result was a saline-alkali land with no seedlings, and the disappointment in his heart can be imagined.

Lin Twelve sounded like a mosquito: "Master, I have disappointed you." ”

Zhang Xuzi sighed: "This is the fate of the individual, I can't complain about others, don't be discouraged, continue to work hard, maybe there will be another village." ”

Now, all can only imagine that a miracle has happened.

Zhang Xuzi was in no mood to stay any longer, he still wanted to go back and check the books to see if there were any other records about the alien spirit root.

He left, and Lan Yonghe also left.

Only Lin Twelve was left in the medicine house.

"Hey." Lin Twelve sighed.

Hongmeng asked her suspiciously: "The host is big, what are you sighing for, do you still want to cultivate immortals?" ”

Lin Twelve shook his head: "I'm thinking, if I can't improve my strength, how can Qingfeng Mountain ascend to the first place." ”

Hongmeng was a little confused, scratching his head with his wings: "Is there any relationship between the two?" If you haven't broken through to the foundation building period, it doesn't mean that your strength has not improved. ”

Lin Twelve's eyes lit up, and Hongmeng's words made her suddenly realize: "That's right! I didn't think of that! Isn't there a difference between the twelfth and twentieth layers of the Qi refining period? I'll go to Master and ask him to find a way to test my current strength! ”

After speaking, Lin Twelve jumped up to find Zhang Xuzi.

At this moment, Zhang Xuzi's courtyard ushered in an uninvited guest.

He is Li Wang, who has disappeared for a long time.

Li Wang stood at the gate of the courtyard with a smile on his face, Zhang Xuzi stopped in front of him, and he made a request: "Great Elder, my suggestion is also for the good of Senior Sister Lin, if you agree to me, I will definitely be good to her, and take her to honor your old man together." ”

Zhang Xuzi put his hands behind his back and said expressionlessly: "Say it again, what did you just say!" ”

Li Wang didn't seem to be able to hear the anger in his words, and said with a smile on his face: "I said, I want to become a Taoist couple with Senior Sister Lin and cultivate together." ”

What answered him was Zhang Xuzi's ruthless closing of the door.

Li Wang snorted in pain, rubbed his sore nose, and cursed: "Stinky old man, see if I don't teach you a hard lesson in the future!" ”

At this time, he saw a familiar figure walking not far away with teary eyes.

When he saw the person clearly, Li Wang suddenly felt that his nose didn't hurt anymore, and straightened up and greeted him: "Senior sister!" ”

Lin Twelve rolled his eyes at him: "Who is your junior sister, Cai Jiaojiao is your junior sister!" What are you doing here? After speaking, he glanced suspiciously at Li Wang's red nose and the closed courtyard door.

Li Wang looked at her with obscenity in his eyes: "You are also my junior sister, I came here to ask the Great Elder for someone." ”

Lin Twelve choked: "Hmph, you ask for someone?" I think your purpose is not pure, and you have come here to fight the autumn wind. ”

Li Wang didn't care at all, and said to her proudly: "What I ask for is you, I have begged the Great Elder to marry you to me as a Taoist couple." ”

"It's impossible, Master, he won't promise you." Lin Twelve was very sure.

"How could it be impossible, the Great Elder will definitely willingly hand you over to me!" Li Wang didn't hesitate at all, which made Lin Twelve feel a little bad.

Just as he was about to ask him why he was so hard-hearted, the courtyard door opened, and Zhang Xuzi called her: "Twelve, come in quickly!" ”

Lin Twelve glared at Li Wang and followed Zhang Xuzi in.

The latter looked at her back greedily and left Zhang Xuzi's yard proudly.

Lin Twelve asked Zhang Xuzi with a disgusted expression: "Master, I heard that Li Wang say that he came to you and begged me to be his Taoist companion?" ”

Zhang Xuzi nodded helplessly.

Lin Twelve was instantly bombed: "Why, that scumbag still dares to portrait me!" ”

Zhang Xuzi's face was solemn: "You can't break through the Qi refining period now, but that Li Wang has already become a foundation building monk today, I'm afraid that he will re-mention this matter with my junior brother, and if the people in the sect are one-sided at that time, it will not be good for you." ”

"Afraid of what he is doing!" Lin Twelve shouted, "Master, I'm here to tell you that if I can't break through, it doesn't mean that my strength hasn't improved, I haven't had a single alien spirit root in the past thousand years, how do you know that the alien spirit root must also go through these mortal immortal cultivation stages before you can successfully cross the tribulation feather and ascend to the immortal!" ”
