Chapter 8: Gifted
No one would refuse a single Linggen disciple who took the initiative to send it to the door.
The day after the trial, Zhou Huai came to spread the word that it was done.
also brought a meeting gift from Mingyuan Zhenren, a heart armor with a high-grade treasure.
is worthy of being a person who has been a Yuanying Daojun, and he is really generous!
Many of the early stage Qi refining disciples from the mortal realm mostly used mortal weapons, but any lower-grade magic weapon could only be exchanged after a long time of accumulation.
This posture made Zhou Ling envious, "Mingyuan is too generous!" ”
The Zhou family is a small family, and the highest grade in Zhou Ling's hand is a high-grade magic weapon, the Bai Ling Sword.
Naturally, there are better ones in the clan, but she is a little girl who has just refined qi, and it will be distributed to her there.
Faced with this windfall, Shen Qinglan was also happy, "It's still Mingyuan who really understands me, if I take the sword, I will be blind." ”
"I told Master that you are not interested in swordsmanship."
"What does Mingyuan Zhenren say?"
"Master said that the Great Dao is one of the three thousand, and his disciples don't need to be limited to the way of the sword!"
Shen Qinglan's sycophant immediately sent it, "I think what the old master said is extremely right." ”
After getting acquainted with everyone, her cheerful and straightforward personality gradually revealed.
"Alas, I said that you haven't built a foundation yet, why did you call Master?"
"Do you think I'm the kind of person who would worry about building a foundation?"
Zhou Ling couldn't be stiff about this matter, "It's not like that." ”
Shen Qinglan clapped her hands with satisfaction, "A big thing has been done, in order to celebrate, why don't we go to the bamboo forest to roast the whole sheep?" ”
She was in a good mood at the moment, and in a few days the news would spread outside the door, and no one would bother her again.
Zhou Huai shook his head and refused, "I still have something to do, you two should eat less, demon beast meat and pills will leave impurities in the body, which will accumulate to form demon poison in the end, and it will consume time to refine, affecting cultivation." ”
The two obediently agreed.
After the three of them separated, Shen Qinglan still couldn't help but sigh, many sword cultivators like penance, they think that in a difficult environment, they can temper the will of sword cultivation, and the sword intent they realize will be even more powerful.
However, there have been no monks in the Tongjian Gate for tens of thousands of years, and there are very few who can cultivate to the Mahayana period.
How did most of the monks of that sect spend their lives?
Starting from the foundation building, not eating or drinking, in addition to cultivation is cultivation, and even more avoidance of delicacies.
For thousands and hundreds of years, he lived the life of an ascetic, until he fell, and then he was gone.
Is it true that cultivating the Tao is just for the sake of peeking into the Heavenly Dao and seeking immortality?
There is probably no standard answer to this question.
-------------------------------------
In the bamboo forest.
Shen Qinglan used her spiritual power to flip the roasted whole sheep on the shelf, and the mutton had been roasted to a slightly yellow and crispy color.
Sprinkled with all kinds of spices she could find, it was full of flavor.
The spirit rhinoceros is good at running, and every trace of meat on its body is the essence of years of experience.
"Can you eat it?" Zhou Ling squatted aside and couldn't wait.
Shen Qinglan cut off a piece, "Don't worry, I'll try." ”
I don't know if it's because this sheep loves to eat spiritual grass or because the ingredients in the immortal cultivation world have aura, anyway, this is the best mutton she's ever eaten in her two lives.
Crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, not fat or fishy!
"Can you eat it?" Zhou Ling asked.
"Don't worry, I'll try again." After that, he cut off a large piece of mutton and ate it.
Zhou Ling reacted and said angrily, "You are so bad!" ”
Then he also cut off a large piece and ate it with Shen Qinglan.
Delicious!
It's not that Zhou Ling hasn't eaten these roast beast meats, but how to say it, what Qinglan makes is much more delicious.
The aroma of the meat is in the heart, and even the original impurities seem to be a lot less under the tasting.
"Alas, why does your roast lamb eat in the belly with very few impurities. I also felt this way when I ate your roasted soft bone rabbit before. ”
Shen Qinglan wasn't sure, "Less?" Is it because both of these monsters love to eat spirit grass? ”
"There are more demon beasts that love to eat spirit grass and elixir."
Seeing Zhou Ling say this, she had a trace of thought in her heart, if it wasn't because of the ingredients, it had something to do with her fire.
Can alien fire remove impurities from animal flesh?
"Is it possible that I'm so talented at cooking?"
After all, she also relied on this craft to make a living in her previous life.
Zhou Ling smiled playfully, "It's very likely, otherwise there are so many new disciples, why did Senior Brother Hu let you go to the canteen to help?" ”
Speaking of Senior Brother Hu, Shen Qinglan's smile gradually faded, "I don't know what's wrong with Senior Brother Hu, I haven't come to the canteen for a few days, and the steward of the canteen has also been replaced by another senior brother." ”
Zhou Ling knew something about this, "When I first arrived at the outer gate, I heard my senior brother say that this senior brother Hu's longevity is about to end, and there is no hope of building a foundation. ”
"Shou Yuan will be exhausted?!"
"Well, Shou Yuan is only more than a hundred years old during the Qi refining period, and Senior Brother Hu is probably about the same."
Shen Qinglan didn't know what to say for a while, Senior Brother Hu took a lot of care of her on weekdays.
At this time, Zhou Ling was about to reach out to pull another leg of mutton, but she took the lead.
"This leg of mutton is not allowed to be eaten, I will send it to Senior Brother Hu later."
"Alas!" Zhou Lingcai, who was intercepted, wanted to protest, but when he heard that Shen Qinglan was going to see Senior Brother Hu, he obediently shut up again.
When the senior brother in charge in the dining hall inquired about Senior Brother Hu's residence, Shen Qinglan took her roast leg of lamb and went over.
Courtyard No. 136.
"Senior Brother Hu is here? I'm Shen Qinglan. ”
Senior Brother Hu's somewhat old voice came from the courtyard, "Come in." ”
The prohibition at the gate of the courtyard disappeared, and Shen Qinglan stepped inside.
Senior Brother Hu was lying on a recliner, drinking tea leisurely, the sun was shining on his face, and his gray beard was illuminated.
He turned his head and smiled at Shen Qinglan, "Why are you here?" ”
She pulled the giant roast leg of lamb out of the storage bag and said, "Something good for you." ”
Seeing this posture, Senior Brother Hu immediately sat down and smiled, "Come on, come on, sit here." Last time I ate the roast rabbit you made, the old man kept thinking about it. ”
"You old man is too realistic, and your attitude changes so quickly with a leg of mutton."
"No, no, no, the old man is happy that a little friend came to visit."
"It turns out that it has nothing to do with this leg of mutton, so forget it, I'll keep it for myself."
Senior Brother Hu was amused, and he gathered around the stone table with her and began to eat meat and drink tea, which was a little leisurely and complacent.
Soon, a leg of lamb was eaten by the two of them.
He couldn't help but nod his head and praised, "Well, just like last time, some of the impurities have been refined." ”
"Xiao Ling'er also said that the meat I roasted had fewer impurities."
"The old man has also thought about this problem these days, and it is probably related to your fire spirit root."
She looked up at the other party suspiciously, "Fire Spirit Root? ”
"The spiritual fire of the single spirit root is probably different from the three spirit roots and the four spirit roots, and it is even more different from my five spirit roots."
The regret in Senior Brother Hu's tone was too obvious, which made Shen Qinglan can't help but face it a little, "Senior Brother Hu? ”
"It's been more than 100 years, and the old man's more than 100 years of research can't match the word talent after all."
After that, he took out something from the storage and put it on the table, "Shen Xiaoyou, the old man has something I want to ask you." ”
