On the Zixia Peak, the front yard mountain gate. Qin Hai walked ahead, walking slowly through the courtyard walls. Behind him was Ye Xiaotian, who was in a very depressed mood. He didn't expect that his talent was so poor, and it was difficult to have the slightest effect in cultivating almost any series of techniques. However, this was not the main reason for his frustration, he felt that he was so useless, and he also affected Sister Shi'er and this Senior Brother Qin, so along the way, Ye Xiaotian was cranky and couldn't let go.

After walking for a while, Qin Hai led him to a quiet courtyard. This small courtyard was much quieter than the ones they had encountered on the road before, and there was no sign of disciples moving here. Pushing open the wooden door, which seemed to have been silent for a long time, I was greeted by a sign of dilapidation. Some firewood used for burning fires was scattered in the courtyard, and some spiritual weapons that seemed to be discarded were scattered in the courtyard like firewood.

On the north side of the courtyard, where the main hall is located, moss grows on the bluestone steps. The floor paved with bluestone was covered with several layers of dust, and the tables and chairs in the hall, as well as the statues of Sanqingdao, were covered with spider silk and dust. Between the building and the major stone pillars, it is also a scene of "heaven and earth".

After scanning the main hall, Ye Xiaotian looked at the wings on the east and west sides again, only to see that the window paper was rotten, the doors were covered with dust, and there were even weeds growing on both sides of the doors and windows, which was estimated to be no better.

Here Ye Xiaotian was looking at it, and Qin Hai was already completely angry, he walked to the door of the only wing room on the east side that could still be seen, knocked heavily on the door, and said angrily: "Senior Brother Zhou, what are you doing?

After a brief silence, the wooden door creaked open with a bang. The sleepy-eyed young man slowly stretched his head out of it, squinted at Qin Hai for a while, and said casually: "It's Senior Brother Qin Hai, is there anything Senior Brother looking for me?"

"Hmm, Senior Brother Zhou, it's so late, and you're still sleeping?" Qin Hai's anger did not diminish in the slightest, and he said angrily, "Have you done the morning class?"

"No, I slept too late last night, if it wasn't for my senior brother to call me, I might not be able to get up!" Facing Qin Hai's anger, the young man didn't care at all.

"You...... Okay, I'm not going to pursue you for now. Take a good look at this yard, how long have you said you haven't done the cleaning work?" Qin Hai pointed to the messy yard and said angrily.

"Hey, senior brother! Anyway, this courtyard is only lived by the junior brother, and even the master doesn't know where it is, what's the use of me tidying up and cleaning every day? It's better to take some time and participate in the study of the Heavenly Formula, don't you say, senior brother?" For some reason, after hearing his words, Qin Hai's anger could no longer be released. The tone also softened a lot, "Senior Brother Zhou, although Senior Uncle Tianhe is not here, you don't have to be presumptuous." At least, you'd better do this daily morning class, after all, early morning is the time when people are the most awake, and at this time, participating in the study of the Heavenly Recipe is also the most effective with half the effort!"

"Besides, Senior Brother Zhou, you can also worship under other uncles and uncles, why do you have to guard this Lanxin courtyard?"

"Hey, I want to too!But senior brother, you also know why I was assigned to this Lanxin small courtyard, and it would be strange that other uncles would want me! I have no choice but to guard this small courtyard and wait for the day when Shouyuan is exhausted!" The young man smiled bitterly, but his faint words were full of deep sadness.

Hearing this, Qin Hai also sighed and was relatively speechless. At this time, the young man calmed down and suddenly asked, "Senior brother, you haven't said the reason why you came to me, don't say that you came to see me!"

"Hmm, I almost forgot about business!Senior Brother Zhou, you will no longer be alone in the future!"

"Hmm, what?" the young Taoist priest didn't react for a moment.

"Well, here's the thing, this little junior brother is also under Uncle Tianhe this time, so in the future, he will also live in the Lanxin courtyard!" Qin Hai sighed and said in a deep voice.

"Well, what's going on?" the young Taoist priest frowned, "How could the deacon elder ......?"

"Well, that's the case, Master may have been stimulated by Nagato today, so today, he appeared in Dexingtang ......"

"Oh, that's it!" the young Taoist priest interrupted Qin Hai's words, he glanced at Ye Xiaotian who was standing behind Qin Hai, shook his head with a wry smile, and sighed: "I didn't expect it, there is a ...... with the same fate as me It's okay, two people together, it's not too lonely!"

"Okay, Senior Brother Zhou, don't be too sad, maybe in the future, you will be lively here!" After Qin Hai finished speaking, he ignored the young Taoist's doubts, turned his head to Ye Xiaotian and said, "Little Senior Brother, you will live here in the future, how about cultivating with this Senior Brother Zhou?"

Ye Xiaotian nodded as if he didn't understand, while Qin Hai patted him on the shoulder and walked quickly outside the courtyard, "Senior Brother Zhou, this little junior brother will ask you to take care of it." The disciple selection is not over yet, and I still have to go to Nagato to help!"

"Little junior brother, don't look at it! This senior brother is not a person who has been with us all the way, he is a personal disciple of the first master, and the scenery is infinite every day, and we can only guard this deserted courtyard, which is destined to suffer until old age!" The young Taoist priest called Ye Xiaotian, who was staring at the direction of the courtyard entrance, and said bitterly.

Ye Xiaotian turned around, but saw the young Taoist priest say again: "Little junior brother, can you tell senior brother, your name?"

"Ye Xiaotian!"

"Ye Xiaotian, well, Senior Brother's surname is Zhou Mingyan, and he doesn't have a Dao number yet, if you don't dislike it, you can call me Senior Brother Zhou in the future!"

Ye Xiaotian saw that although this senior brother was sleepy-eyed and his hair was messy, it was very weird, but his tone sounded very kind and kind, so he couldn't help but smile and called, "Senior Brother Zhou!"

Zhou Yan was also very happy, and after answering, he said with a smile: "Senior Brother Ye, let's go into the house first, it's always bad to stand outside here!"

So, Ye Xiaotian followed Zhou Yan into the only room that was quite complete, the furnishings in the room were simple, a bed that could accommodate a little more than one person, a small table, a chair, and a desk for writing and reading were placed in the room, but it also took up most of the whole room. In addition, there are some miscellaneous items and daily necessities, on the bed, there are two sets of Heavenly Sword Sect disciple costumes, as well as two white bedclothes, on the small table, there is a teapot and a few teacups, on the wall, there is a long sword and a few small sundries, and on the desk, there are a few small blue books and a pen holder. On the whole, it is not as cluttered as the courtyard.

"By the way, Senior Brother Ye, how did you get assigned here by the first senior uncle, and is it also because of the spiritual root talent?" After beckoning Ye Xiaotian to sit down, Zhou Yan couldn't wait to ask.

Ye Xiaotian thought about it for a while, and felt that Senior Brother Zhou should have asked about the glowing round platform, so he nodded slowly and replied.

"So, what's your situation?" Zhou Yan asked again.

At that moment, Ye Xiaotian said that he touched the jade ball, and the eight jade swords on the round platform were almost unlit, and also said a little about the thunder and anger of Xia Yunshan. After hearing this, Zhou Yan's eyes widened directly, and he said in disbelief: "Your talent is even worse than I was back then, and you are still meeting the first master, and it is a miracle that you were not directly sent down the mountain...... Hey, it's weird, your foundation doesn't seem to be stable, why is the spirit element body in your body, I feel nothing for a while, and I feel something for a while...... No, I'm going to take a closer look!"

So, Zhou Yan motioned for Ye Xiaotian to close his eyes, and he walked in front of Ye Xiaotian, and after closing his eyes, he stretched out his right hand, put his index finger and middle finger together, and went to Ye Xiaotian's abdomen.

After closing his eyes, Ye Xiaotian felt a soft Yuan force, through his skin, slowly coming towards the dantian. It's just that halfway through, a Yuan Force came out of nowhere, completely blocking this soft Yuan Force, and there seemed to be signs of devouring. He was so busy that he was startled, and subconsciously issued a command in his mind to let this Yuan Force retreat. It's strange to say, this sudden Yuan Force was really as he thought, it automatically retreated, and in an instant, it disappeared into the depths of his body, Ye Xiaotian wanted to sense it, but he couldn't feel it!

With the disappearance of the mysterious Yuan Force, the soft Yuan Force was finally no longer blocked, and smoothly entered Ye Xiaotian's dantian, and after circling around the dantian for a while, it quickly retreated.

"Okay, Senior Brother Ye, you can open your eyes!" Ye Xiaotian opened his eyes, only to see that Zhou Yan, who was still in excellent mental condition just now, was already sweating profusely, and he was panting and tired.

"Whew...... Senior Brother Ye, there seems to be something strange in your body, Senior Brother didn't feel their existence for a moment after the power of the Spirit Yuan went in just now. Luckily, it wasn't long...... Whew, but there is nothing abnormal in your dantian, it is the best cultivation of the Yuan Qi Pill. It should have been the senior brother's mistake before!" Zhou Yan gasped and said slowly.

However, Ye Xiaotian was taken aback when he heard this, Yuan Qi Dan Isn't there a broken sword in my body, how can it be? He subconsciously looked inward at the dantian, and then found that a broken and vague qi sword was floating in the dantian, slowly rotating.

This is...... Ye Xiaotian looked up at the tired Zhou Yan, but finally couldn't help but ask. And Zhou Yan didn't ask anything more, and the room suddenly became quiet. However, this silence didn't last long, and it was broken by Zhou Yan again, "Senior Brother Ye, since my talent was able to be assigned here by the first senior uncle back then, you are not wronged if you were assigned here today! In the future, we will have to rely on each other for our lives! Hmm, Senior Brother Ye, it's so late this day, but Senior Brother, I haven't eaten yet! By the way, Senior Brother Ye, have you eaten?"

Ye Xiaotian was about to answer, but his stomach seemed to understand Zhou Yan's words, and as soon as he finished speaking, he immediately "cooed". It made Ye Xiaotian blush for a while.

"Hey, Senior Brother Ye, Senior Brother doesn't have any other skills, but only this cooking kung fu is absolutely first-class! Follow Senior Brother, I definitely can't starve you!" Zhou Yan laughed, opened the door and walked out. And after Ye Xiaotian was stunned, he also walked out after him.

Zhou Yan took him to walk in the courtyard, and after a while, he came to an alley, the alley is very short, only about ten steps away, and at the end of the alley, there is also a house, this house is larger than the side room, and in the house, pots and pans, stoves, and stoves, everything is available. Undoubtedly, this is exactly the kitchen in this small courtyard.
