Qingzhou, Qingguang Sect.

Qingguang Sect is located in the west of Qingzhou, in the territory of Jiang State, and is a prestigious high-grade immortal cultivation sect in the boundary of Qingzhou, and even called the top name in the Kyushu mainland.

It has two main peaks, one is called Qingyan, the other is called Qinglu, and the name of the first generation of the ancestor of Zhao Yanlu is taken and the peak name is obtained.

Twin peaks, one south and one north, are located in the position of the dragon mouth of the high-grade spiritual vein, the spirit of Zhong Tiandi, the light of the sun and the moon, so that the two green mountains are surrounded by fairy mist all the year round, and see the strange birds flying, the ancient trees in the mountains are verdant, and countless palace attics loom, as if the boundary of the immortal family.

And to the east of the main peak, is a valley artificially opened up by the ancestors of Qingguang, at a glance, paved with a piece of flat and neat, slightly glowing cyan luster of bluestone, stretching for many miles, can not see the end, and do not see traces of moss, by the first generation of the head of the ancestor Zhao Yanlu personally gave the name of 'preaching place', for the ordinary high-level monks to preach, or the venue used for special events of the sect.

In the place of preaching, adjacent to the foot of the two main peaks, there are five statues of the ancestors of the sect who are respected by the Qingguangmen people as the 'five ancestors of Qingguang', each statue is six or seven zhang high, and the facial features, expressions, movements, and costumes are all lifelike.

One person in the middle of the five ancestors, is a peerless female cultivator, standing with a sword, staring at the east with her eyebrows, the flying stone hair is like a living thing, with a solemn face, it is the first generation of Qingguang Sect Zhao Yanlu ancestor, a stunning legendary female cultivator, a famous figure eight thousand years ago, known as the first person in the world at that time, invincible opponents all over the world, countless strong people were defeated under her sword, and Qingguang Sect was also under her leadership, famous.

And by Zhao Yanlu's ancestor's side, there are also four close friends standing side by side with her, all of whom are male cultivators of the fairy wind and bones, and they are also famous and strong people who are proud of their contemporaries, all of them carry their hands and look to the east with Zhao Yanlu's ancestors, and it is also the five ancestors who work together to create a strong Qingguang sect and lay a solid foundation for the high-grade immortal sect.

That was the era that Qingguangmen people were most proud of.

Later generations are convenient for the mountain gate here for the five people to stand up, and the generations have been worshiped by the Qingguang monks.

In addition to the place of preaching is artificially developed by the ancestors, the three sides of the main peak, the southwest and the north, are all natural spiritual peaks, undulating, although the peak is not as majestic as the two main peaks, but it is also extraordinary, like the stars and the moon arch to guard the main peak, and are given their respective responsibilities by the sect.

For example, the peaks of the back mountains in the west, the location of the spiritual vein dragon body with abundant spiritual energy, the spiritual peaks stretch for more than ten miles, and there are countless blessed places suitable for monks to cultivate.

On the north and south sides, most of them are the spiritual peaks used to deal with the miscellaneous affairs of the sect, including the spiritual peaks for the disciples of other sects to live and practice daily, a total of ten, which are named after A, B, C, D, E, G, G, XIN, NON, and QI.

Waizong No. A Peak, 'Wu Jiu Erqi' No. House.

Ye Chen, as usual, meditated and practiced on the soft couch in his daily life, his mind was free of distractions, sometimes he breathed and exhaled the wood-based aura that was wandering around his body, and sometimes he frowned, immersed himself in the inner consciousness of the mind, and mobilized his true qi to repair internal injuries.

In the middle of the selfless cultivation room, he suddenly heard a very soft knock on the door outside the door, and a fairly familiar voice sounded outside the house: "Senior brother, are you inside?" ”

Ye Chen's soul is far stronger than ordinary people, although the basic exercises have only been cultivated to the sixth level of qi training, but he can skillfully use the method of mind and mind vipassana after the seventh layer of qi training, and he also has an innate talent for dual-purpose use, although in vipassana, he clearly noticed that the voice outside the door was not as crisp as before, and some qi was weak, so he immediately stopped running the exercise "Dead Wood Spring Gong", withdrew from Vipassana, and suddenly opened his eyes.

If someone looked him directly into his eyes at this time, they could even clearly see a thick glow flashing in his dark eyes.

This is the embodiment of introverted energy and profound cultivation!

"Senior sister, wait a minute."

Answering the sound outside, Ye Chen put on the green boots under the bed and went to open the door.

Chen Shuyao, who was outside the door, heard the response inside, a pair of dim peach blossom eyes regained some luster, waited for a while, a door opened, and saw a familiar figure standing in front of her, she raised her head slightly to see, who is the senior brother she has been thinking about for a long time?

The senior brother seems to have grown a lot taller, and she needs to look up to see the whole picture......

Chen Shuyao's nose was sour.

When the family was wronged, she didn't cry, but at this time she wanted to take off her guard and cry.

Ye Chen had already heard some clues from Chen Shuyao's voice before, but when he really saw her gloomy appearance, her eyes were slightly red, and she was inevitably a little surprised when she was like the usual smiling girl next door: "Senior sister, why do you look like this, but you are bullied in the sect?" ”

The girl in front of her who is somewhat similar to the little sister in her impression, Ye Chen will solve problems for her within the scope of her ability, and occasionally take care of one or two, so she is not too unfamiliar, and now seeing her a wronged appearance, it must be false to say that she is not distressed, and she has to come out for her for the first time.

Chen Shuyao barely squeezed out a smile: "Didn't Senior Brother invite me into the house?" ”

Ye Chen hesitated slightly, then let go of his body and invited her to come in, "Let's talk first." ”

When she entered the room and closed the door, she turned around and put her left hand behind her, and swept her eyes to the figure who walked around the table and chair, walked to the soft couch where she usually cultivated, and sat down, not even taking off her boots, she was already surprised, and walked over and said, "Now you can say, what happened?" ”

Chen Shuyao raised his slightly hanging head, but he avoided answering Ye Chen's question, but said with some grievances: "Senior brother won't tell me when he comes back from the Million Demon Mountain, Senior Sister Zong, Senior Brother would rather not be heard?" ”

Ye Chen frowned slightly: "I just came back yesterday, I was afraid of disturbing my junior sister's cultivation, so I didn't bother, is this why my junior sister came here for this little thing?" ”

Chen Shuyao also knew that the senior brother was obsessed with cultivation, but the senior brother always treated her with such a hot and cold temperament, which still made her feel a little sad, recalling the words that her father said solemnly when she returned to the family a few days ago, her brows were deeply entangled, and she said bitterly: "Senior brother is still as diligent as ever, no wonder he can have such a profound cultivation, presumably the next time the disciples of the inner sect are promoted, there must be a place for the senior brother." It's a pity that Shu Yao has to follow the family's arrangement, and after the one-year recruitment period expires, she will marry Tian Hao, the descendant of the Tian family of Xiaoling Tianfeng, as a double cultivation partner to complete the family marriage. ”

Ye Chen's brows furrowed deeply.

In his impression, this is already what he knows, Chen Shuyao's second family marriage.

The male monk who married Chen Shuyao in front of him, together with several senior brothers, took Chen Shuyao to the periphery of the Million Demon Mountain to practice, but he was also unlucky, and he encountered a group of demon wolves, and he was already buried in the periphery, and Ye Chen was the Chen Shuyao he met at that time.

This so-called family marriage is a means used by most immortal cultivators to enhance their own power or interests, although it is understandable, but it is really despicable to use this kind of trick frequently against Chen Shuyao, an eighteen-year-old girl.

"Recently, the two elders of the Tian family refining the Zhuji Dan for the sect, and got three Zhuji Dan, after the father learned about it, he negotiated with the Tian family, and wanted to exchange treasures for a Zhuji Dan, trying to build the foundation, but the Tian family refused to take it out easily, in order to pull in the relationship, there was a marriage."

"A woman from a family like me, from the moment she was born, was destined to have no control over her fate, just because she could fight for more family interests, she was easily pushed out by the family, no one asked me if I agreed, and no one cared that I had never met Nada Hao, and I had no feelings at all."

Chen Shuyao said to herself, her expression was sad, and she poured out her injustice.

In the end, he actually hid his face and wept, and his delicate shoulders trembled slightly with small sobs.

Ye Chen had never seen her so weak, and he was speechless for a while, not knowing how to comfort her.

Although he is not used to seeing Chen's father as the head of the Zhuji family, and he is also the father of a daughter, he disregards the relationship between father and daughter and uses such inferior methods, which makes people feel deeply disdainful, but how can he, a person with a foreign surname, meddle in the family affairs of the Chen family?

Xiao Lingtian Feng Tian family, he has heard of it, is a small and famous millennium family of cultivators in the sect, started with planting spiritual grass, at its peak, there was a knot Dan, five building the foundation of the same hall, even if the family has declined in recent hundreds of years, the foundation of the clan has not been broken, now there is still an ancestor in the middle of the foundation, and a clan elder in the early stage of the foundation, escort for the Tian family, the power is not big, but occupy the north of the Qingguang spiritual vein Xiaolingtian Peak to rest, almost the treatment that the Dan family has.

In addition to the ancestor of the Tian family who had already sat down in the Dan period, but also because the Tian family had many monks whose spiritual root attributes were fire wood double spirit roots, their cultivation may not be satisfactory, but they were natural alchemists, including two Tian family foundation building monks.

Alchemists, refiners, talismans, and formation warriors, the four are the four arts of monks, collectively known as the Dan Weapon Talisman Array, all of which are special groups of monks created by talent.

Because ordinary monks do not have this kind of talent, they naturally need the help of these strange people, maybe a magic weapon, maybe an elixir, a talisman, or a formation, can greatly increase their strength and rely on it.

And immortal cultivators are self-oriented, and alchemy is a shortcut to improve their own cultivation, so it has also become recognized as the first art of the four arts, not only the monks hope to befriend the alchemists, so as to obtain the convenience of the elixir and improve their own strength, many immortal cultivators and families attach great importance to alchemists, including a strong sect like Qingguang Sect, and the number of alchemists in the sect is relatively scarce.

It involves Zhuji and Zhujidan, and Ye Chen can somewhat understand Father Chen's thoughts.

After all, building a foundation is a big hurdle on the path of monks' cultivation, if you are not careful, it will cause the true qi to flow backwards, at least it will damage the foundation of the monks, and at worst it will go mad and endanger your life, which is also the reason why many monks with insufficient qualifications have been trapped in the ninth layer of qi practice for a long time, and they dare to build a foundation only when the unspeakable opportunity comes.

Tsukidan is one of the best, the medicinal effect of Tsukidan will be fueled by the monks when they build the foundation, which will increase the success rate of building the foundation by one or two percent, such a miraculous effect, so that the monks in the Qi training period regard it as a treasure, but unfortunately, the main medicine for refining the Tsukidan can only be found in some secret realms, these secret realms are controlled by the major forces, once found, it will soon be consumed after refining into the Tsukidan, and there are not many Tsukidans on the market that are taken out for circulation and trading, and it is very difficult for ordinary monks to want a Tsukidan.

As Chen Shuyao said, Chen's father let him marry, although the means are not very glorious, but the victory is simple and effective, if Chen Shuyao is competitive enough, he can fight for more interests for the original Chen family after the past husband's family, and enhance the hard power of the entire Chen family.

Ye Chen, who thought he understood what was going on, was only silent at this time.

Three days later, Chenshi, the day of their group of recruited disciples, set out for a period of one year.

When he returns a year later, the person in front of him is only nineteen years old, and he may become someone else's double monk.

As soon as he thought of this, Ye Chen seemed to have an indescribable feeling of upset in his heart.

As for why he felt this way, Ye Chen blamed it on his little sister who was far away in another world, and couldn't bear to have Chen Shuyao, who was like her, reduced to a family tool.

When her sobbing gradually stopped, and her mood seemed to calm down, Ye Chen said to her: "This matter is a family matter in the end, senior brother can't interfere, you might as well communicate with your father again, maybe you can take back the matchmaker's words." If you have seen that Tian Hao, you can also observe his character and qualifications, if it is a good person who can be trusted, it is better to stay in the Chen family with the Tian family's family background. ”

Intellectually, Ye Chen's understanding is transparent.

Since the Chen family uses Chen Shuyao as a bargaining chip, Chen Shuyao may not be able to use the Chen family as a springboard, the most important thing is how Tian Hao and his people are, whether it is worth entrusting for life.

Chen Shuyao was like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, and her delicate body stiffened.

Hearing the news that he might marry into the Tian family, the senior brother instead helped others speak, Chen Shuyao only had an unspeakable loss in her heart, and laughed at herself: "My father, how can he care about my life or death, since my mother passed away, it seems to have changed as a person, cold-blooded and ruthless, if it weren't for the imminent recruitment of the sect, I would have to be locked up for a few days." ”

Thinking of her deceased mother, Chen Shuyao's eyes darkened, wiped away the tears on her cheeks, raised her head, and said with a very serious expression: "Senior brother, accompany me to have some bars." ”

The spirit wine in her mouth is a fine wine brewed from the spirit valley planted by the monk, and it is either added with the spirit strain of the last year, or added to the essence of some of the demon beasts that can be used as medicine, there are many categories, and the value is very high.

Ye Chen is a greedy person, in line with the principle that blocking is better than sparse, he did not control the desire of the tongue too much, and spent an extremely painful number of spirit stones before he bought a small half of the jar of spirit wine brewed with several centuries-old qi-benefiting spirit strains, and occasionally took a few sips, just seeking to reach the Dao heart, and now it is almost about to bottom.

still thought that Chen Shuyao was looking for him to drink, but when she saw Chen Shuyao patting the storage bag hanging on her waist, she saw that the mouth of the storage bag was open, and she spit out two streamers, which she caught easily, it turned out to be a jar of spirit wine and two emerald jade bowls, placed on the middle table in front of the two.

Seeing Chen Shuyao come with his own spirit wine, Ye Chen also felt a little dry and wanted to drink, so he immediately sat down and said with a smile: "Senior brother, this will be fine, drink with you, and it doesn't hurt to talk." ”

He unceremoniously opened the sealing mud, and the rich and tangy smell of wine came out of the altar, and there was a faint aura lingering at the mouth of the altar, which was the spiritual wine that many monks loved.

"Good wine." Ye Chen praised.

He started pouring a small half bowl of spiritual wine for Chen Shuyao and himself, but he suddenly remembered that the amount of alcohol of the person opposite was not very good......

Ye Chen raised his eyelids and glanced at Chen Shuyao opposite.

Seeing the sight of the senior brother, Chen Shuyao hurriedly avoided the gaze that had been staring at him, picked up the jade bowl with two delicate and delicate wattles, and motioned to the senior brother: "Senior brother, please." ”

I hope that the whole moth will not come out later.

Thinking like this, Ye Chen picked up the jade bowl with his two fingers as usual, he could sense the introverted aura in the wine, and said that it was comparable to the inferior spirit stone, and it was not afraid to let it go, the quality of the spirit wine would not be too bad, and the value should be very expensive, and I didn't know where Chen Shuyao got the spirit wine, it was estimated that he just wanted to borrow the wine to drown his sorrows, and also signaled to her: "Senior sister, please." ”

After speaking, he took a sip with a calm expression, and even could see the faint sound of slight movement in his throat, his brows stretched, only to feel a rich wine smell mixed with the aura of the spirit plant and the aroma of the spirit valley instantly rushed straight to the heavenly spirit, and the hot liquid entered the throat, making the throat like a fire, and the place that passed through the body, there was a slight cooling feeling in the heat, and the wisps of cool aura could be detected surging to the limbs and bones, nourishing the physique.

After a while, there was a sudden sweet fragrance in my mouth.

Chen Shuyao doesn't often drink spiritual wine, and has never been accustomed to the taste of willows and flowers, but now she is suddenly a little obsessed with this taste, it seems that after drinking it, she is not so upset, and finally understands what it is like to drink without worrying about it.

She drank all the spiritual wine in the bowl in three or five strokes, but she soon lost her strength, and the crimson color of her cheeks became more and more obvious, and the color of drunkenness appeared in her pupils.

Chen Shuyao's afterglow saw the wine jar on the table again, and he did it himself, poured half a bowl, and had to pick it up and drink it again.

Although Ye Chen likes spirit wine, he also sees all these in his eyes, leans over to suppress her wine bowl, and softly persuades: "Don't be greedy, slow down first." ”

"Hmm!"

Chen Shuyao sighed and put it down obediently.

In a trance, it seemed that she saw the young Yingying who was bathed in blood in Tsing Yi and smiled to help her: "This junior sister is already safe, get up quickly." ”

At that moment, even though he looked ordinary at first, it became extremely pleasing to the eye, and his whole body exuded a soft light.
