Mu Ningning seemed to be gone, but it was also like she didn't leave.

Li Ping'an retreated for her apprenticeship, and Li Ping'an went out, she was already begging the master to come to Liuyunguan to 'save relatives'.

The whole "as walking".

Li Ping'an was afraid of delaying Mu Ningning's cultivation, so he told her to concentrate on meditation and enlightenment, and not to run around if she had nothing to do.

Mu Ningning agreed, and also made a bold ambition, saying that she would impact the realm of immortals within a hundred years.

Her master's Dao name is Qingxu, he is a true immortal realm qi refiner on Caiyun Peak, he is relatively low-key and his name is not obvious on weekdays, but he is better than the idea of accepting apprentices, and Mu Ningning is her eldest disciple.

This true immortal is very gentle, and he is quite fond of Mu Ningning, the eldest disciple.

Li Ping'an is naturally extremely envious of this.

He knocked on the side and asked, Qingxu Daoist and three senior sisters and sisters of the same generation also arrived in the True Immortal Realm, but it was a pity......

They Caiyun Peak does not accept male disciples.

This time, it was Mu Ningning who took her back to visit Li Ping'an with her master, and she was about to leave after staying for half an hour.

When parting, Mu Ningning snapped his fingers and said:

"My master said that as long as I arrive at the middle stage of the Gathering Gods Realm, probably after the fifth order of the Gathering Gods, I will be able to escape from the sky, and my master will refine a few magic weapons for me, and I can come back to visit my senior brother at any time!"

"My master also said that cultivation is not fast, but stable, I don't know how many heavenly prides are trapped in an inconspicuous bottleneck, and end up depressed."

"My master said ...... again"

"That's it! Priest Sister! ”

Li Ping'an squinted and smiled, the muscles at the corners of his mouth twitched slightly:

"I know that you are apprenticed, let's not always keep the word master on our lips."

"Uh-huh, I didn't mean to show off my master!"

Mu Ningning grinned:

"I've heard what Master said, Senior Brother, it's not easy for you to apprentice, because Senior Brother, your father's seniority is too high, and the immortals in the door will also consider avoiding suspicion, so as not to be said to be a father who is attached to Senior Brother.

"Or, senior brother, if you don't understand anything about your future practice, you can secretly sue me.

"I can ask me, Master, and Father!"

Li Ping'an made a gesture to beat someone.

Mu Ningning dodged dexterously, and his small mouth let out a burst of laughter like a silver bell.

Before leaving, she said that she would come to visit Li Ping'an when she could fly in the sky, but Li Ping'an didn't take it to heart.

Just like Wei Yanzi said, Liuyunguan is just a transit station for young disciples, and the disciples who go out here have a new environment and new friends.

The difference is that some people have immortal fate, and some people eventually return to the world.

But what surprised Li Ping'an was ......

Mu Ningning is really a man who does what he says.

Almost seven months later, Mu Ningning, who had grown much taller, was wearing a light blue long skirt disciple uniform, stepping on a fairy sword, carrying two fragrant food boxes, and shouted out the immortal family formation outside Li Ping'an's wooden building.

She's back.

Since then, Mu Ningning has flown to Liuyunguan every once in a while, sometimes bringing some treasured elixirs, and sometimes bringing some 'delicacies' that she has made herself.

According to Li Ping'an's incomplete statistics, in the two and a half years after Mu Ningning's apprenticeship, she came to Liuyunguan more than 30 times, and recently the number of visits has become more and more intensive;

He is more diligent than his own father!

It's not that the two have already sparked the fire of Taoism, and after getting along for more than two years, it can only be said that Mars has just started and has not reached the ignition point.

But Mu Ningning gradually found out......

As long as she has any cultivation problems that she doesn't understand, and her cultivation has become a little slower, she can come to Liuyun Temple to inquire about this Ping'an Senior Brother.

Senior Brother Ping An often only has one or two sentences, and she will have a sense of sudden opening, and the problems that bother her can be easily solved.

For this only little junior sister who can play with herself, Li Ping'an is also not stingy.

Because he got out of Zhou Tian early, Li Ping'an had a lot of time to read and hear books, ponder the way of the Dan formation, and refine some gadgets for Mu Ningning in the past two years.

Of course, he also asked Mu Ningning to be a 'drug tester'.

After all, the days of cultivation in the mountains are mostly peaceful, and the keynote of Wanyun Sect on weekdays is Zhongzheng and peaceful.

When Mu Ningning returned to Liuyunguan for the thirty-sixth time, it happened to be Li Ping'an's three years in Liuyunguan.

The three-year period has expired;

According to the rules of the gate, Li Ping'an failed to apprentice at Liuyunguan, and he needed to pass the outer gate trial to become an outer disciple before he could continue to practice in the mountain gate.

Li Ping'an took the initiative to issue an 'application' for the trial half a month ago, but the Temple of Everything did not give him a reply.

It's afternoon.

In front of the wooden building in the backyard of Liuyunguan, the brothers and sisters sat in the shade of the tree drinking tea and chatting.

Li Ping'an is very simple to wear, with a loose and soft bright white placket on the inside, and a cyan coat on the outside.

His thin figure was wrapped in a faint aura, and there was a bit of a sense of dust.

Or maybe it's because I've read a lot of books from the Wanyun Sect collection in the past three years, my sword eyebrows don't sharpen, my starry eyes don't stir up dust, and the corners of my mouth always have a smile that seems to be nothing, as if people and animals are harmless.

Li Ping'an held a small carving knife in his hand, carving a spirit stone the size of an egg.

A scroll of bamboo slips hung out in front of him, the words on it ancient and obscure; Li Ping'an's attention was actually on this bamboo slip, and carving things was just a matter of convenience.

Compared with Li Ping'an's 'master's family', Mu Ningning's dress is much more exquisite.

Mu Ningning is sixteen or seventeen years old this year, and has grown from slim and graceful to graceful.

The full moon is called abundant, and the curves are graceful.

She is still wearing a plain white disciple skirt today, with a jade belt tied around her waist, soft and thin silk trousers under the skirt, and her delicate little feet are stepping on the 'flip-flops' made by Li Ping'an, and the ten toes are crystal clear, like a delicious lychee that has been stripped of its outer skin.

It is also older and has a love for beauty, it is not difficult to see the traces of light makeup on her pretty face, the white and red skin can be broken by blowing, the bright peach blossom eyes are gentle and charming, whenever her long eyelashes blink gently, the slightly rippling eyes of the autumn waves reflect Li Ping'an's side face.

She sat at the table with her body crooked, and she was not in shape, and she could stay here all day with her chin propped up.

A slight breeze blows, and the canopy of the sycamore tree sways slightly.

The sounds made by the young disciples who were moving around outside were filtered by the formations near the wooden building and disappeared without a trace.

Mu Ningning couldn't help asking, "What realm are you?" ”

Li Ping'an continued to fiddle with the objects in his hand: "Guess? ”

Mu Ningning, who had already gathered the peak of the Divine Realm, puffed out the corners of his mouth and complained, "How did Senior Brother do it, the cultivation speed is always a little faster than me...... Eh, Uncle is here! ”

A white cloud floated in the direction of the peak and broke into the range of the Liuyun Temple.

On the clouds, there are two people, one fat and one thin, who are Li Dazhi, the disciple of the patriarch, and Wei Yanzi, the high-ranking deacon in the Liuyun Temple.

Mu Ningning pursed her lips and got up: "I'll go back to practice first." ”

"Every time I meet my father, he runs away, and my father doesn't eat people."

Li Ping'an smiled:

"Wait until I'm done.

"I have engraved many feelings when I lit up a little light on the spiritual platform in this spirit stone, which will help you break through the Condensing Light Realm in the future.

"According to the rules of the inner door, if you want to enter the outer gate from the Liuyun Temple, you must pass the outer gate trial, and the outer door trial must be related to the mundane, after all, the main role of the outer door of the sect is to run the world.

"I should go to the mundane next, and it will take more than half a month to return at the earliest."

Mu Ningning couldn't help but puff out the corners of her mouth, and said depressedly: "Okay! I knew it! Senior brother, you must have stepped into the Condensing Light Realm. ”

"This ......"

Li Ping'an put away the bamboo slips and raised his eyebrows slightly:

"Is there a possibility, it's not that I'm cultivating fast, but that you're too slow, junior sister."

"No, we are now the recognized immortal seedlings of Caiyun Peak!"

Mu Ningning was still arguing with Li Ping'an a moment ago, but in the blink of an eye, he already showed a bright smile, got up and hurried to the courtyard with small steps, and bowed to the falling white clouds.

"Meet the Great Ambition Ancestor."

"Ning Ning is also here! The little girl is smart again! I'll go and talk to Ping An first. ”

Li Dazhi squinted and smiled and said hello, he had already arrived in front of Li Ping'an.

He didn't shy away from it, and said directly: "It's all arranged!" You can rest assured that you are safe! I've dotted everything inside and out of the temple! If you want me to say, don't you participate in any trials, why don't you just go to the outer gate to practice? ”

Li Ping'an said: "Dad, it's better to follow the rules, too many people are staring at you now, just waiting for you to make a mistake." ”

Wei Yanzi stood at the gate of the courtyard, looked at the father and son with a smile, and did not answer.

- Wei Yanzi only drank with Li Dazhi a few times, and there were signs of becoming the 'chief follower' of the patriarch's disciples.

Li Ping'an's hands kept carving, and he sighed: "Actually, there is no need to do it like this, it is easy to cause trouble if you do it deliberately, it is better to let me participate in the trial openly." ”

"Isn't it because I'm afraid that others will make trouble?"

Li Dazhi patted his stomach and said with a smile:

"Don't worry, as long as you reach out and grab the lot, all the yellow characters are twenty-three, and the notes inside are the same!

"As for the specific trial mission, you'll know then! It's certainly not that difficult! ”

Li Ping'an smiled and nodded, and the style of painting changed: "Dad, you seem to have been a little slack off in your cultivation recently......"

Li Dazhi seemed to have an extra soldering iron under his buttocks, and his rich Dao body immediately jumped up.

"Well, I still have a wine shop! A few peak masters invited me to dinner, and when I went to deal with it, I went back to find your master ancestor to practice, and worked hard to rush to the Yuan Immortal! ”

After that, Li Dazhi rose into the air, and the figure of driving the clouds away was always a little embarrassed.

"Hahahaha!"

Wei Yanzi pinched his goat whiskers and laughed, then raised his hand to make an invitation, and went back to the tree with Mu Ningning, sitting on the left and right sides of Li Ping'an.

Li Ping'an asked, "Deacon, what is the trial task that my father arranged for me?" ”

Wei Yanzi said with a smile: "The simplest, go to the mortal Wan'an City to find Chen Gongmin's guy to deliver a letter." ”

"Oh?"

Li Ping'an raised his eyebrows slightly:

"I also want to go back to Wan'an City, after all, I have lived there for two years.

"At that time, I was in a hurry to come to the mountain, I didn't have time to pack my luggage, and many of the books I collected were left in the mundane, and I don't know if I can find them when I go back."

"Just know your book."

Mu Ningning said dissatisfied:

"I only come here once a month at most, and every time you come to Senior Brother, you can't let go of the papers, and you don't look at me directly."

Wei Yanzi smiled: "Look at it...... Peace, don't slack off the beauty. ”

"What," Mu Ningning said busily, "Deacon, how can you talk like this, I am a righteous friend with my senior brother, but it's not ...... That's what you think......"

Li Ping'an's work happened to stop, and he looked up at Mu Ningning.

Mu Ningning lowered her head for some reason and muttered in a low voice:

"Senior Brother Ping An hides here every day to practice, and he doesn't go out and walk around all year round...... Otherwise, he will meet many real fairies who fall in love with him at first sight. ”

"Give."

Li Ping'an threw the spirit stone over and said with a smile:

"What I want to do now is to renew the strings for my father, even if I really meet such a fairy, because of the cultivation of things, I will not consider my own marriage for the time being.

"Sister Pastor, you still need to work hard to cultivate in Caiyun Peak.

"I heard that in the next few months, a big competition for new disciples in the door will be held in the door for the last twenty years, senior sister, you have only been on the mountain for three years, if you can take advantage of these few months to reach the Condensing Light Realm, you will definitely be able to make a splash in this big competition.

"Cultivation is about the Dharma and wealth, and the reward for such a big comparison is very rich.

"However, we also need to keep in mind that we should not be greedy for merit in our cultivation, and practicing qi, concentrating on the mind, and concentrating on light are all foundation-building realms, so we would rather be slow than leave regrets, so as not to affect the future path."

Mu Ningning nodded obediently, held the spirit stone in his hand, and said with a smile: "Then senior brother, I'll go and win the second, you will be the first!" ”

Li Ping'an sighed: "I can't participate, it's the big competition of the inner disciples." ”

"Hmmm......"

Mu Ningning hurriedly closed her mouth.

The old and difficult problem of Senior Brother Ping'an's apprenticeship has also troubled her for a long time.

Li Ping'an asked, "Deacon, when will my outer gate trial begin?" Is there an exact time? ”

Wei Yanzi replied: "This is more casual, after all, it is only an introductory trial for outer disciples, no one takes it seriously on weekdays, as long as you go to the main peak of the Mortal Palace, you can start the trial." ”

"Then I'll go today."

"Today?"

Wei Yanzi was also a little stunned:

"Isn't that too much of a rush? It's better to tell the other side first, so that the door can be more prepared. ”

"What else is in the door?"

Li Ping'an stretched his waist and stood up:

"If I delay any longer, my father will be able to let me pass the trial without leaving the house.

"In the past two years, my father has made friends after practicing, and some noises in the door have become more and more harsh, so I still follow the rules and don't leave people with a handle."

Wei Yanzi got up and said, "I'll go to the Temple of Everything to inform them and let them prepare early...... You're in too much of a hurry! ”

Mu Ningning said: "Senior brother, shall I accompany you to the mundane for a trip?" ”

"Come according to the rules, this is a trial, not a tour."

Li Ping'an smiled:

"It's just a small job to deliver letters, but I'm going to do my best.

"Senior sister, let's go back to Caiyun Peak to practice first, and now you are also a big girl, if you and I are in pairs, it will inevitably attract gossip."

"Just let them say it."

Mu Ningning pursed her lips, but she didn't say much, and told Li Ping'an to take care of herself several times in a soft voice, and then she left with a reluctant edgeworth.

……

Meanwhile;

In the corner of Wanyun Sect, there is a certain mountain where several Heavenly Immortal Cave Mansions are distributed.

In a pavilion wrapped in clouds and mist, several immortals in the door were gathering together to drink tea and chat.

The one who made the tea was a glamorous fairy wearing an intricate ancient dress.

There were three or five old men drinking tea, and most of them had dull expressions.

Several elders said:

"The son of the merchant is said to be about to participate in the outer trial."

"What can the son of a merchant do when he participates in the outer trial? Can you still keep him out of the door? Besides, what does an outer disciple have to care about? Many of the problems in the door are all in the merchant, not in his son! ”

"Yes, it's only been two or three years of hard work, and the merchant is said to be not far from ascending to immortal, and there are thirty-six peaks in the door, and half of the peak masters are familiar with him...... A few spiritual mines were just discovered near the mountain gate last year, and they were all said to be driven by the immortal gate's qi luck by his atmospheric luck......

"The rumors of making him the next head of the house, in a few years, I'm afraid it won't be rumors."

"What can I do? The three Golden Immortal Ancestors inside the door watched, can we still hold his son hostage and let him swear not to fight for the position of the head of the sect? ”

The atmosphere in the gazebo was dreary again.

An old man said: "Senior Brother Mo Yi is the deputy head of the house, and he is also the head of the family, I thought that you should be the head of the house in thousands of years......

"Hey!"

The gray-haired old man with the name Mo Yi waved his hand lightly and smiled gently:

"If you are not in charge, what is the benefit of cultivation?

"If the poor path needs to take on such a responsibility, even if the poor path does not practice for thousands of years, it is incumbent on him to do errands for all of you.

"If there is no need for the poor road to do such a thing in the door, the poor road will also be happy to be at ease, concentrating on the wonderful realm of golden immortal immortality."

"Senior Brother Mo, if you really don't argue...... Is this position really going to be handed over to a layman businessman? ”

"Alas!"

Several people shook their heads, but they didn't say much.

The beautiful woman who made the tea chuckled, poured a few cups of tea with a clay pot, and said with a smile:

"Why are you so anxious? The matter is uncertain.

"Poor Dao heard an elder say that the son of the merchant will go to the mundane world in the near future, why don't you arrange some idle things for him and fall into the face of this merchant?"

"Senior Sister Xiao Yue."

The old Taoist named Mo Yi frowned and advised:

"You have been in charge of many affairs of the Fang Town industry in the door for hundreds of years, and you have always acted according to the rules, and the poor road should not say anything about you, but you need to remember one thing in this matter.

"I, Wanyun Sect, went through several infighting thousands of years ago, with heavy casualties, and after the return of the three patriarchs, I made a strict order to strictly prohibit the struggle for power and position, and strictly prohibit private fights.

"How can this son of Shang Jia also be a disciple of my Wanyun Sect, remember not to really hurt him, otherwise the ancestor will blame him, and you and I will have a dead end."

"Senior Brother Mo, rest assured, the poor road can be saved."

The beautiful woman squinted and chuckled, apparently not taking a minor monk into account.
