Volume 5: The First Song Four Hundred and Fifty-Seven: Rare Leisure (Part II)
It was also the morning of this day, Mu Xiufeng.
The Cold Moon Fairy came out of her cave, Li Jian came back from outside yesterday, and also came to her to say hello, and the Cold Moon Fairy also knew that Li Jian's cultivation had broken through again outside, and now she already had a seventh-layer cultivation of qi refining.
When she walked out of the cave mansion in the morning, Fairy Leng Yue suddenly noticed that there was an extremely rich aura permeating Li Jian's residence, which was much better than the secret room where she practiced in the cave, which made her very curious, so she went to see what was going on.
Since Li Jian has already apprenticed to his master, it is natural to live here in his master's cave according to the custom, but he has always liked the purple bamboo forest where he lived before, and Mu Xiufeng is a big place and there are not many sword cultivation disciples, so he did not return the purple bamboo forest, and whenever the cold moon fairy retreats or goes out, Li Jian will return to the purple bamboo forest to live for a period of time.
He did this mainly to ease the embarrassment.
Lingyue, who entered the door of the Cold Moon Fairy earlier than him, this girl should have been Li Jian's senior sister, but because she lost to the Cold Moon Fairy in the Chengguan En test, she had to say "senior brother" to Li Jian, because of this, Lingyue looked at Li Jian very awkwardly, there was a master on weekdays, and Lingyue didn't dare to make a mistake, seeing Li Jian could only lower her head and call her senior brother dryly, but it was also vague, and even simply avoided Li Jian, just to avoid embarrassment, And whenever the Cold Moon Fairy was in retreat, Ling Yue saw Li Jian, so she simply kept her face strained and didn't say a word. In fact, Li Jian himself was also very embarrassed, so he would take advantage of the time when the master was in retreat from time to time to return to live in his bamboo liao in the purple bamboo forest, so that Ling Yue could be at ease for a few days.
Lingyue's cultivation was originally worse than Li Jian's, when Li Jian was refining the sixth layer of qi, Lingyue had just refined the fifth layer of qi, and in the few days that Li Jian was out, Lingyue finally broke through, thinking that she had finally caught up with Li Jian, and when she was happy in her heart, she didn't expect that Li Jian, who had returned, actually had the cultivation of the seventh layer of qi refining, and once again surpassed her, which made Lingyue not angry. This morning, Ling Yue was in her own small building, and she also noticed that from the small building where Li Jian lived not far away, there was an extremely strong aura, she was very curious, she didn't know what good things Li Jian got from the outside, of course she didn't want to knock on the door to ask, and when she was sitting in the room staring from the window, she saw her master walk into Li Jian's small building.
"Master."
Li Jian saw that it was the Cold Moon Fairy who came in, and hurriedly got up and saluted.
"Well, what are you doing, what's going on with this aura?"
The Cold Moon Fairy had already noticed that there were two green bamboo branches on Li Jian's table, which were Li Jian's two green bamboo spirit swords, one long and one short, and there was a small white jade bottle next to it, with no stopper at the mouth of the bottle, and a rich aura was diffusing from the small bottle.
"Master, this bottle contains the spiritual spring water that Brother Qian brought out from the Thousand Needle Pine Forest, and I am bathing my green bamboo spirit sword with it."
Leng Yue nodded, similar to what she had guessed, and said:
"You go ahead."
"Yes."
In fact, Li Jian also did this with a purpose, after returning from outside yesterday, he told the Cold Moon Fairy that Qian Chao was safely in and out of the Thousand Needles Pine Forest, but seeing that his master was not interested in it at that time, he didn't say much. But before Tang Ping said that he wanted to enter the forbidden land with Qian Chao, Li Jian was very moved when he heard it, there are several forbidden places to go to in the future, it is really boring to always wait outside, and Li Jian is reluctant to continue after waiting once, if he can enter the forbidden land under Qian Chao's arrangement, go and take a look, take a walk, then it will be interesting, but if you want the master to agree, you must first attract the attention of the master, then there must be a suitable method. Therefore, he didn't use this spiritual spring water to bathe his Qingzhu Spirit Sword in the first place, just to stay at the right time to let his master notice his actions, so he specially picked his master to take out the spiritual spring water when he walked out of the cave mansion and attracted the Cold Moon Fairy over.
The incomparably clear spiritual spring water still shimmered when it dripped from the mouth of the jade bottle, and it flowed down the green bamboo branch when it fell on the green bamboo branch, but it soon disappeared into the green bamboo branch, and at the same time, the green of this green bamboo branch seemed to be a little more vibrant, although it had been broken off for a long time, but the bamboo branch in Li Jian's hand seemed more vigorous at this time.
The Cold Moon Fairy nodded and said:
"Sure enough, it seems that your green bamboo spirit sword has bathed in spiritual spring water many times, well, especially the spiritual spring water in this bottle, the richness of the spiritual energy is really rare, this is what Qian Chao brought out from the thousand-needle pine forest?"
Li Jian replied:
"Exactly, I heard Brother Qian say that there is a mountain in the center of the thousand-needle pine forest, and there is a deep ravine under the mountain, and this spiritual spring water is what he found from the bottom of that ravine."
"Well, this kid has a heart, knows that you need this, and brought it out for you."
"Yes, the spiritual spring water used by the disciple to bathe the Qingzhu Spirit Sword several times before was also found by Brother Qian."
Cold Moon Fairy nodded, she was still a little wary of Qian Chao's subtle technique, and felt that the spell seemed to be specially used to restrain sword cultivation, because all sword cultivation is known for the power of induction, especially Jian Xin Qingming is a means to exert the power of induction to the extreme, and the appearance of Qian Chao's subtle technique will inevitably threaten sword cultivation, and when she was tested by the fairy, she witnessed Qian Chao's subtle technique, so she was even more convinced of this, thinking that if this spell is widely spread, it will inevitably be unfavorable to sword cultivation. But then she felt that she was a little worried, firstly, Qian Chao's cultivation was low, and secondly, people who were proficient in both talisman and array spells were only afraid that they were rarer than sword cultivation in this cultivation world, so her vigilance against Qian Chao went a little, at this time she saw the spiritual spring water that Li Jian used to bathe in the green bamboo spirit sword, and realized that Qian Chao and Li Jian had been friends for many years, and the vigilance against Qian Chao in her heart was a little lighter, and said:
"It's a pity, if you can also go to the forbidden land and go through it, it will be a good experience for you."
Li Jian was overjoyed when he heard this, he was not in a hurry to tell the plans of Qian Chao and the others now, and it was not too late to wait for Ah Jiu, who had won the fairy, to return from the Thousand Needles Pine Forest.
……
Qixia Mountain, the cave of Zhong Yao Fairy.
Yan Xuan got up in the morning and was busy in his medicine garden, her master Zhong Yao Fairy saw it when he came out of the cave and walked over, and saw that Yan Xuan had just dug a soil pit and put the medicine hoe next to him, and then took out a long wooden box from the storage bag, and after opening it, there was a spirit grass inside, with golden flowers, which meant that Yan Xuan wanted to plant this spirit grass in the medicine garden.
Fairy Zhong Yao specializes in the art of fire control, she doesn't know much about spirit grass and pills, but she always has knowledge, after seeing the spirit grass that Yan Xuan is cultivating, she feels that this thing is extraordinary, so she can't help but ask:
"What kind of spirit grass is this?"
Yan Xuan turned around and saw that it was his master, so he smiled and said:
"Master, this is the Rolling Embroidery Chrysanthemum, it was brought out by Brother Qian from the Thousand Needle Pine Forest this time, alas, there are really a lot of spiritual grasses brought out by Brother Qian, but none of them can be used by our Qi refining disciples, and now I am still worried about it, this Rolling Embroidery Chrysanthemum is the main medicine that the refining master will use in the future 'Litian Pill', so I will make the decision to keep this spiritual grass, and in the future, when the master is about to break through, he can take this spiritual grass and go to our elders in Qixia Mountain who are good at refining pills to refine the 'Litian Pill'."
Zhong Yao Fairy has heard of what Rolling Embroidery Chrysanthemum is for the first time, but she has long known the name of "Litian Dan", Zhong Yao Fairy's cultivation is at the beginning of the Jiedan, and the last time she broke through the pill she used, it took a lot of effort to get it, and the most important and rare of them is a Calendar Pill, that pill is really not easy to obtain, so when she heard the disciple say that this Rolling Embroidery Chrysanthemum is the main spiritual grass for refining the Litian Pill, Zhong Yao Fairy still had some emotion, I didn't expect that I would be able to get help so quickly by accepting apprentices, There is no need to worry about the elixir used for breakthroughs in the future.
Among the five people of Qian Chao, except for Qian Chao, who has no teacher in the Five Spirits Sect, the masters of the other four people are ranked according to their cultivation, Tang Ping's master Gu Hou Fairy is the first, and now Gu Yu Fairy is only dedicated to practicing and waiting for the opportunity to break through to the Yuanying realm; followed by Lu Pingchuan's master, Kang Pu's senior, Kang Pu's cultivation is also at the high level of Jiedan, but it is a little worse than Gu Yu Fairy; Li Jian's master, the Cold Moon Fairy, is ranked third, and the current Cold Moon Fairy is a mid-level sword cultivator; Yan Xuan's master, Fairy Zhong Yao, was ranked last, and his cultivation was only at the beginning of the Jiedan, and Yan Xuan was also the first disciple she accepted.
Well, in addition, Tang Ping's sixth grandfather, Tang Bonian's cultivation, can be regarded as having just reached the high level of Jiedan, which is even worse than Kang Pu.
Yan Xuan naturally knew that her master still had a long way to go, so after getting this embroidery chrysanthemum, she made it clear to a few companions that she would stay for her master, and the rest of the people had no opinion, and now she planned to raise this embroidery chrysanthemum in the medicine garden first, anyway, the master's cave is also full of aura here, which is suitable for the growth of this embroidery chrysanthemum.
Fairy Zhong Yao squatted down and looked at the embroidered chrysanthemum that had been planted in this medicine garden with some pity, turned her head and asked Yan Xuan:
"It seems that everything is going well in the thousand-needle pine forest in Qian Chao's child, and he has gained a lot."
"Well, that's right, but Brother Qian is not a disciple of Qixia Mountain to learn alchemy, he only knows how to pick up the most valuable spirit grass to pick, but the spirit grass brought out is completely useless for us Qi refining disciples, alas, it would be nice if the disciple could follow up."
Well, Yan Xuan said this as a foreshadowing for entering other forbidden places in the future.
Fairy Zhong Yao heard it and said:
"Although you were able to enter the Shouwu Mountain, the rest of the forbidden land is different from the Shouwu Mountain, so it is better for you to act according to the methods set before."
"Hmm." Yan Xuan didn't say much, just waited for Ah Jiu to kill the two powerful demon beasts that Brother Qian said in the Thousand Needle Pine Forest.
