Early in the morning, Chu Yan got up early, not that she couldn't really sleep, but she slept well, although she was very curious about what happened last night, but she was also more afraid that there was no pill to assist her when she climbed the mountain, and she didn't want to try that kind of suffering.

She really couldn't sleep at the beginning, so she forced herself to sleep, and struggled for a while, she was really sleepy, she didn't know how to sleep, maybe she really wanted to know what happened last night in her mind, so she always needed someone to call to get up, but she got up early in the morning.

For the first time, the little girl knew that she was more energetic when she got up early than late.

When Chu Yan got up, Li Xiuping hadn't gotten up yet, and she didn't dare to disturb the master's rest, so she could only wait outside, and after waiting for a while, she was really bored, so she walked to the courtyard of the post house, and when she walked under a tree, she happened to see a silkworm cocoon on the trunk, and at this moment there was something in the cocoon that was about to break out of the cocoon, she thought it was interesting, so she stared at it.

As the cocoon is broken, a colorful butterfly crawls out of it, initially a small one, and as it leaves the cocoon and spreads its wings, it becomes a beautiful butterfly.

I saw the butterfly's wings vibrate, and then circled in the air, it should have smelled the fragrance of flowers, so it lowered its height and kept hovering on the wildflowers in the small courtyard.

If it was in the past, when she saw this beautiful butterfly, Chu Yan would definitely catch up and never give up without holding it in her hand and looking at it carefully, but she was just looking at it at the moment, as if something was slowly sprouting in her mind, and her aura was constantly rising at this moment, so that even she felt at a loss.

When she came back to her senses, she found that there was a Qingming monk standing not far away, looking at her with a kind smile on his face.

Chu Yan didn't seem to know how to explain her current situation, so she pointed to the butterfly that was still circling around the flower, and then pointed to herself.

The Qingming monk smiled and said: "Luckily, I broke the shackles of the forging period and entered the qi refining period, and this kind of breakthrough of yours is hard for ordinary people to find, which is not a small opportunity." It can be seen that your master did not let you break through, which is indeed profound. ”

Listening to the words of the Qing Ming Monk, Chu Yan seemed to be a little excited, and hurriedly ran towards the Qing Ming Monk, while asking, "If I break through this way, is it more powerful than a normal breakthrough?" ”

The Qing Ming monk smiled and said, "Sort of, at least your cultivation in the Qi refining period is easier than others, this is your talent and your chance." ”

Chu Yan asked, "It's just easier than others?" Isn't it better than others? ”

Qing Ming Monk smiled bitterly: "What a little girl who doesn't understand anything, how can the benefits of this be explained by not being powerful, let's put it this way, after others enter the Qi refining period, it takes two years to complete the cultivation, you only need one year to complete, or even shorter." No matter how powerful a person is, it will take at least two or three years to go from the Qi refining period to the foundation building period, your master is considered powerful, but from the Qi refining period to the foundation building period, it also takes a lot of time, and the time you need may even be shorter than your master. ”

Chu Yan's eyes widened, her face was incredulous, but she quickly frowned again, and said: "But didn't Master say that forging the body, refining qi, and building a foundation, every realm is very important, and this is related to whether the future cultivation can be smoother, so he didn't let us contact the qi refining period as soon as possible, but to polish it during the forging period, not only have I entered the qi refining period in advance, but also my cultivation in the qi refining period in the future will be faster than others, won't it affect my future cultivation?" ”

The Qingying Monk frowned.

In fact, like Li Xiuping, he is not good at teaching others, especially Chu Yan, a little ghost spirit who asks all kinds of questions at every turn, so although he likes Chu Yan very much, he is very afraid of Chu Yan, just afraid that this little girl will ask similar questions.

Don't look at him now that he is already a strong person in the merger period, but if he really wants to explain the things of cultivation, especially the first practice, he really doesn't know how to explain it, which is why he has not accepted apprentices.

If you accept a disciple who is too stupid, what do you say and what he does, it is comfortable and easy, but such a disciple's achievements in the future will definitely not be too high, and he will not surpass the master 100%.

The master accepts apprentices, originally hoping that the apprentice can surpass himself, because he can't reach the height, hoping that someone can inherit his mantle and inheritance, so as to reach the height that he can't reach, knowing that a person can't surpass himself, but also accept him as a disciple, it is completely unnecessary.

Of course, there are no absolutes, like Li Xiuping's Yang Erni, he doesn't expect Yang Erni to have much achievement, let alone expect Yang Erni to inherit his mantle and surpass him as a master.

However, not everyone is like Li Xiuping, who doesn't care so much about accepting apprentices, because when it comes to inheritance, no one dares to be sloppy, and if they don't do it well, they will ruin their reputation.

In the cultivation world, when ordinary people are young, they basically do not have the intention of accepting apprentices, one is that the realm is not enough, and the other is that they are troublesome, so they generally have the mind of accepting apprentices in their later years, after discovering their limits, and at that time, what the apprentice represents is themselves, and if they are not careful, they are likely to lose their luck, so for accepting apprentices, every monk is cautious, and would rather not find the person who can inherit the mantle, and will not settle, let alone find a disciple to be included in the door.

In this matter, the Qing Ming monk naturally had the same idea, so although he had met many talented people over the years, he did not dare to easily move the idea of accepting apprentices, in fact, in addition to those so-called geniuses who could not meet his requirements, the main reason was that he was troublesome, that is, he was afraid of encountering a similar situation.

People who are too smart, especially children, have all kinds of quirky questions that are always endless, imaginative, and dizzying, and as a master, you have to answer them one by one.

I finally met a Li Xiuping, who is not so young, and there will not be so many problems, and he doesn't need to be taught too much by the master about cultivation, but unfortunately he is already someone else's disciple.

Of course, even if Li Xiuping is not someone else's disciple, he will not include Li Xiuping in his disciple, because if Li Xiuping is not a disciple of Mr. Ouye, he is just an ordinary person in his eyes, more precisely, a waste material who does not even have a spiritual root, such a person, he will not even look at it, and he is even said to consider accepting him as a disciple.

That is to say, before the East China Sea, even if he met Li Xiuping, he would never think that Li Xiuping had any future, even if he met in the East China Sea at the beginning, if it weren't for the fact that Li Xiuping was a disciple of Mr. Ouye, if it weren't for the fact that he was followed by one of the two immortals, the wine fairy, he would not have felt that Li Xiuping had any future.

That is to say, aside from these, Li Xiuping is even inferior to the current Yang Erni in his eyes, because no matter how Yang Erni is, at least she has a spiritual root, at least she has the qualifications to embark on the path of cultivation, but Li Xiuping does not even have such qualifications.

But who would have thought that a person without a spiritual root, a waste material that all monks would not look at much, would not only embark on the path of cultivation without any guidance, but also create one miracle after another, so that he has become a legend in the entire cultivation world today.

Nowadays, in the entire cultivation world, when it comes to Li Xiuping, who cares whether he has a spiritual root, or what people are more concerned about is how he can reach his current height without a spiritual root, because this situation has too much impact on the cultivation world.

If it weren't for this, Li Xiuping would be afraid that it would be difficult for him to live to this day, because in him, many monks saw the benefits, in addition to his identity as a swordsmith, it was this kind of method that could be practiced without spiritual roots, and whoever mastered this secret method would become a figure who changed the entire history of mankind, and was the existence that led the entire human race into a new era.

In the past, Taoists targeted Li Xiuping everywhere, is it really because Li Xiuping has a connection with the demon clan? Is it really because Li Xiuping is implicated in Confucianism? Not really, a big reason for this is Li Xiuping's way of cultivating, because whoever can master this way of cultivation will become the dominant one in the entire cultivation world in the future, and will become an existence that changes the pattern of the entire cultivation world.

Therefore, if a person like Li Xiuping cannot be in his own hands, then he must not be in the hands of others, which is the main reason why Taoists want to get rid of Li Xiuping.

Of course, this is just the speculation of the Qingming monks themselves, and what the specific Taoist side thinks, I'm afraid only those bull-nosed old Taoists themselves know.

All in all, if it weren't for the fact that Li Xiuping was too involved, if it weren't for the fact that the demon clan was invading at this time, I am afraid that more things would have happened to Li Xiuping. Of course, there will be answers to these things in the future, and the most important thing now is how he explains to Chu Yan, the little girl.

After hesitating for a while, the Qingming monk said bitterly: "You have to ask your master about this, after all, he taught you to practice, and he also prevented you from getting in touch with the Qi refining period too early, what is the deep meaning of it, naturally only he himself knows, if I explain it to you according to my own ideas, it is likely to be different from your master's teachings, and it will affect your cultivation at that time." ”

Chu Yan nodded.

Seeing the little girl nodding, the Qingming monk couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and at the same time gloated.

At this time, Yang Erni also walked into the courtyard, and Chu Yan lowered her voice and said, "Layman, don't tell Senior Sister that I broke through." ”

Qing Ming was stunned for a moment, and his eyes couldn't help but feel a little relieved, this little girl is so empathetic, talented, and sensible at a young age, such a disciple is really not something that can be met casually, at least he has not met it for so many years.

Now he really regrets that when Li Xiuping proposed it, he didn't accept Chu Yan as a disciple.

However, this thing will also be fate, and the current situation can only show that he and Chu Yan do not have this master-apprentice fate.

Qingming lay monk looked at Yang Erni, and couldn't help but think of Li Xiuping, to a certain extent, Yang Erni and Li Xiuping are indeed too similar, perhaps it is precisely because of this that Li Xiuping will first accept her as a disciple, and then accept Chu Yan as a disciple by the way.

And all of this is related to the incident of the Bixiao faction.

Then this little girl, a little girl who is not favored by anyone, will also have a huge impact on the entire cultivation world like her master?
