Chapter 168: Catching a Fierce Pickle
After a while, Xu Chen landed on the ground and saw Xuanhe Zhenren standing in the small courtyard with a whisk in his hand, and hurriedly put away his sword and saluted: "Master, the disciple has just succeeded in building the foundation, and he has not had time to come to report yet." ”
Xuanhe Zhenren nodded with a kind face and smiled: "There is no need to be polite, I and Elder Taishang have already seen it when you built the foundation, you can have today's achievements, and the poor Dao is actually very happy." ”
Xu Chen suddenly blushed and lowered his head and said, "Master, it's not that the disciple is hiding it, in fact, the disciple doesn't know what happened, and I ask the master to forgive me!" ”
Xuanhe Zhenren laughed and said: "It's not important, the important thing is to learn to achieve something, Xiuxian asked, although the qualification is important, but the opportunity is more important, don't think about anything else, you won't ask too much about it, and you won't ask about it as a teacher, and you will practice hard with logistics, and strive to get married as soon as possible, so it is not in vain that I will take you to the mountain gate back then, and embark on this road of cultivation and hardship, but you must remember that no matter how good the opportunity is, you must not act arbitrarily, you must always keep the heart of the Dao, and never lose your nature." ”
Xu Chen hurriedly saluted: "Disciple obeys the teachings of the master!" ”
"Hmm!" Xuan He Zhenren nodded with satisfaction, and then said: "Your seventh senior sister is worried, and she will never forget the things of the year, she is unwilling not to go on a trip, and she can't stop it as a teacher, so let her go with her, the road is not smooth, and the road will not be smooth sailing, I hope she can gain something from this." I just want to talk about this matter, you don't need to worry too much, the ancient city of Yelang is on the border of southern Xinjiang and Shu, and it is not a very sinister place, you have recently cultivated well in the mountains to stabilize the realm, so as not to have a solid foundation in the future. ”
"Yes, the disciple obeys!" Xu Chen could only agree.
"Then you go first, you have to worry more about the affairs of the Danyuan on weekdays, the two large arrays and a few industries in the outer gate, you can also go around more when you have time, after all, Taiyuan Gate is different from the past, and the family business is also much bigger, and your senior brothers and sisters are not diligent people, I hope you can take on more responsibilities in the future."
Xu Chen couldn't cry or laugh, but he could only respectfully accept the order, and then say goodbye and leave.
"Master, I'm going to catch a sheep and grab it, I just came back, and I haven't even drunk a sip of hot water yet!"
Xu Chen was indignant but helpless, he turned around and didn't take a few steps towards the Dan Courtyard, when he saw Senior Brother Nine coming like a dog, he grabbed Xu Chen's arm and said urgently: "Is it that Senior Sister Seventh is going to Yelang Ancient City?" ”
Xu Chen nodded and said, "Yes, the head of the sect just called me to talk about this." ”
Senior Brother Nine let go of his hand in a daze and said, "Senior Sister Seven, this heart disease is difficult to get rid of, and I still can't let go of it for so many years, no, I'm going to tell Senior Brother about this." ”
Xu Chen was surprised: "What do you tell Senior Brother to do?" ”
Senior Brother Jiu suddenly said with a strange face: "You don't know? ”
Xu Chen said, "What do I know? ”
Senior Brother Nine smiled bitterly: "It seems that you are really picking up dung and picking up stupidity, Senior Brother has always liked Senior Sister Seven!" ”
Xu Chen was shocked and said, "There is such a thing, senior brother is not dizzy......
But speaking of this, Xu Chen quickly covered his mouth again, looked around, and whispered: "Seventh Senior Sister has such a big temper, and Senior Brother is so stupid, the two are obviously not compatible!" ”
Senior Brother Nine glanced at him with a strange face and said, "It's not up to you to decide whether it matches or not, haven't you heard of a crooked pot with a deflated stove?"
Xu Chen suddenly pointed at Senior Brother Nine and said, "Okay, you originally like to arrange Senior Brother and Senior Sister behind your back." ”
Senior Brother Jiu's face instantly turned black and said: "What are you talking about, be careful of being beaten, I just saw that Senior Sister Seventh has left, and I don't know what elixir she took from Dantang, you better hurry up and take a look, don't even move the warehouse, I'll go tell Senior Brother first!" ”
With that, Senior Brother Nine took off into the air and flew away.
Xu Chen picked at the back of his head and hurried to the Dan Courtyard, only to see Su Zhao alone rushing back and forth among the elixirs all over the ground, and began to be full of incomparably messy elixirs, many of which had been sorted out and stacked separately at this time, and looked a lot neater.
"Uncle Xu!" Seeing Xu Chen come in, Su Zhao hurriedly saluted.
"Well, you're busy, I'll go to the storeroom and have a look!" Xu Chen waved his hand.
Su Zhao hurriedly handed over a piece of jade slip and said, "Senior Uncle Xu, the seventh senior aunt left a jade slip before leaving, saying that it was a record of the elixir that was taken!" ”
Xu Chen hurriedly took it, his divine sense probed to take a look, and his face suddenly trembled a few times, and he hurriedly walked into the warehouse, and found that many spirit boxes on the shelves had been opened, and the pills inside were empty.
Obviously, Senior Sister Seventh robbed Dantang before leaving.
This is in line with the consistent barbaric style of the disciples of Taiyuan Sect, where they pass, there is not an inch of grass left, and there will definitely be no left of what can be taken.
In addition, Xu Chen could also feel the determination of the seventh senior sister to go down the mountain this time, and he was afraid that he would not give up until he reached his goal.
Although he had never heard from his senior brothers and sisters about the matter between the fourth senior brother and the seventh senior sister, and he had never heard of the details of the encounter between the two of them, and even the ancient city of Yelang was the first time he had heard of it, but this did not prevent him from seeing the impact of this incident on her through such a simple behavior of the seventh senior sister.
Although the relationship between the senior brothers and sisters of Taiyuan Gate is strong, there is no need for words and communication to help each other between life and death.
But the relationship between the seventh senior sister and the fourth senior brother is afraid that it is far beyond the affection of the same senior brother and sister.
However, the fourth senior brother has been missing for so long, and the stupid brother has not yet broken through the emotional defense of the seventh senior brother, which not only shows that the senior brother is stupid enough, but also shows that the seventh senior sister has never forgotten the fourth senior brother.
This is also the reason why Xuanhe Zhenren chose not to stop it.
If the person who cultivates the immortal asks is too entangled in the relationship between men and women, it will be extremely detrimental to the condensation of the mind, and the higher the cultivation, the more the flaws in the mind will become, until when the level is broken, the distracting thoughts are numerous, the Dao heart is lost, and the final achievement falls short.
The so-called heart disease still needs heart medicine, Qu Mei's heart disease still needs to be solved by herself, outsiders can't help, if she can't break this emotional barrier by herself, then the future cultivation will become extremely difficult.
Compared with the simple feelings between these senior brothers and sisters in Taiyuan Gate, the friendship between the disciples of Yuqing Hall is much more indifferent, and even if they are looking for Taoist companions with each other, they all have a kind of utilitarianism, rushing to improve their cultivation or grab resources.
When feelings are no longer innocent, naturally there is no need to care, so there will be fewer such flaws in the heart, and the cultivation will be smoother.
Perhaps, this is also the reason why the large immortal sect is stronger!
Xu Chen slowly figured it out, but he always felt that something was not quite right.
He is now ignorant of the relationship between men and women, and he has no concept of men and women, he is still in the second year of middle school of an ordinary young monk, and he is more interested in cultivation and alchemy, treasure hunting, fighting monsters, and even farming, and for women, it doesn't matter, at most, when he talks about these things, he is a little shy and dazed.
Just as he came out of the treasury, suddenly Senior Brother's divine sense voice sounded in his ears: "Little Senior Brother, I'll go down the mountain, the Refining Hall will take the time to help me take care of it, and I'll help you refine it when I come back." ”
Xu Chen: ......
But then he breathed a sigh of relief, Senior Brother is now in the late stage of the True Yuan Realm, and his strength in the Immortal Realm is already relatively strong, with him accompanying the Seventh Senior Sister, I think the security has increased a lot.
……
In the following days, Xu Chen's life slowly returned to a relatively peaceful state.
However, it is already delusional to stay in the cabin every day to meditate and cultivate as in the past, and to take the fox Xiaobai to see the medicine garden.
The third elder threw the Dantang to him to take care of, and the senior brother also left the Qitang to him to help take care of it, and he was also an elder of the outer gate, and the halls of the Wild Wolf Valley and several monk gathering places built at the foot of the mountain needed to be inspected regularly, which made him feel a sense of pain that he was lacking in skills.
But fortunately, there is also a group of senior brothers and sisters who are also assigned their own tasks, and after a few days of slowly smoothing it out, the busy situation has gradually improved a lot.
Because the seventh senior sister almost took away most of the elixirs used in daily life, especially the qi tonifying pills, Xu Chen had to step up the refining of a batch of elixirs for storage, as for the matter of the instrument hall, he was not familiar with the refining of the instrument, so he could basically only let it go, and recruited two disciples who knew a little about refining weapons from the outer sect to take care of it while studying, refining magic weapons or something was basically no fun, but at least there was no complete chaos.
Time flies, more than ten days have passed.
Xu Chen meditated at night to stabilize the realm, alchemy during the day, and burned various jade slips such as various Dan Fang Instruments, Phalanx Magic Talismans, and other jade slips learned from the Yuqing Palace, and his life slowly entered an orderly state.
With the success of his foundation, the divine soul is a lot stronger again, just like the divine consciousness in the early stage of the Dan Yuan Realm makes him more handy when refining the Dan in the past, when refining the Great Yuan Pill or the Qi Gathering Pill, most of the elixirs are the same and refined separately, but now whether it is a first-grade or a second-grade elixir, he can almost put the elixir into the furnace at the same time and refine it successfully at one time, and the abundant vitality also ensures the success rate of alchemy, and almost never misses.
In the past, it took him half a day to refine one furnace, but now he can do it in almost an hour, so as long as he is not lazy, he can refine seven or eight furnaces in a day.
The second-grade Juyuan Dan used to take at least a day, but now it has been compressed to half a day by him.
Most of the disciples who come to the outer gate to be cattle and horses are recruited now, and most of the cultivation is in the early and middle stages of the Kaiyuan Realm, and there are very few in the later stage, so the elixir is mainly Xiao Yuan Dan and Da Yuan Dan.
Xiao Yuan Dan Xu Chen is too lazy to refine, there are still a lot of them in the treasury, and the seventh senior sister of this low-grade elixir can't look down on it, so there are dozens of bottles, which can last for a while.
However, he still arrested the Ninth Senior Brother as a coolie, after all, there was an order from the head of the sect Xuan and the real person, and the Ninth Senior Brother did not dare to shirk it, coupled with his current cultivation in the True Yuan Realm and a large number of worthless spiritual herbs and elixirs to practice, so the success rate of alchemy has also reached seven or eighty percent for a period of time.
So under the continuous rush of the two brothers who worked as firefighters all day long, forgetting to sleep and eat, the ordinary elixir in the Danyuan warehouse was soon enriched a lot, and Xu Chen had more time to do his own thing.
