Dugu Zhishui hid the palm-sized Guang Yulan behind him, and found that the door of Ziqian's room was open, and he tiptoed in, only to find that the room was empty. Looking at the magnolia in his hand, the white and flawless petals were releasing a faint fragrance, and Dugu Zhishui couldn't help but feel a little disappointed in his heart. He walked around the island, but still did not see the shadow of Ziqian, in order to prevent the magnolia from withering, he had no choice but to find a vase, add some crescent lake water to the bottle, and warm the flower in the vase.

Looking at the white flower on the table, Dugu Zhishui silently exited Ziqian's room, and then gently closed the door.

Dugu stopped the water and left the island in the middle of the lake. He plans to go to Han Liyan, today is the time when the half-year contract expires, and he has become a martial artist in half a year as promised. According to the agreement, Han Liyan should renew his grandfather's life for ten years.

When Dugu Zhishui walked on the plank road, he inadvertently saw a purple shadow in the distance coming along the lake to the plank road.

At this time, Ziqian walked on the shore of the lake with a pair of white and delicate little feet, naughtily paddling with her feet from time to time to stir up waves, and from time to time leaning over to pick up smooth and round pebbles. Looking at such a picture quietly, Dugu Zhishui couldn't help but be a little stupid, how beautiful and serene, he would rather time be frozen at this moment forever.

With a smile on his face again, Dugu Zhishui walked along the plank road towards the shore. When he walked down the boardwalk, he happened to meet Ziqian. Suddenly seeing Dugu Zhishui Ziqian seemed a little surprised, she asked with some confusion: "Why did you come back so early today?"

"It's getting easier and easier to work after improving my strength, so I came back earlier. ”

"So what are you going to do now?"

"Half a year has arrived, and what Master promised me should be fulfilled. ”

"Just now he sent me a message through the air and asked me to go see him too, and it just so happened that I was going with you. Ziqian took out her shoes from her space ring and put them on, and her eyes were hot when she saw Dugu Zhishui. This kind of space ring is very rare, ordinary space rings only have a lot of space, but only some of the more powerful family members can wear it, and higher quality space rings can only be owned by big forces, and the space of those rings must be at least more than ten zhang square, and its durability and safety are also better.

The reason why the space ring is so precious is that the material used to make it is too rare, this is a jade with a natural inner space, ordinary space rings are made of the outer layer of jade of space stones, and the more advanced space rings are made of chalcedony of space stones, that is to say, for every thousand ordinary space rings produced, one may be a high-level space ring.

Ziqian's space ring is purple, as if she particularly likes purple. The ring is very exquisitely made, with a faint purple light flowing on it, and it is obvious that this should be a high-grade space ring. The reason why Dugu Zhishui knew about the space ring was because he looked like a hillbilly entering the city when he saw this thing for the first time, and Ziqian couldn't stand his ignorant eyes so he took the trouble to explain it to him.

Reluctantly retracted his gaze, but Dugu Zhishui knew very well in his heart that this kind of thing was not something he could have. Sensing the strangeness of Dugu Zhishui, Ziqian wrinkled her nose slightly and said nothing.

In a cave on the Holy Mountain.

Dugu Zhishui and Ziqian saluted Han Li, who had their backs to them.

"I've been waiting for you for a long time, and what you've done in the past six months has barely satisfied me, and I will definitely do what I promised you. Han Liyan turned around and smiled.

Hearing this, Dugu Zhishui couldn't help but roll his eyes, and Ziqian also pouted secretly, what does it mean to be barely satisfied?

The thoughts of the two did not escape the eyes of Han Li, he shook his head, and his tone became a little heavier, "Your knowledge is still too little, the world is so big, genius people don't know geometry, and there are not many people who are more talented than you." ”

Han Liyan shook his hand and threw a jade bottle to Dugu Zhishui, and said: "This is a Yuan Ling Pill, mainly made of Yuan Ling Grass, martial artists can treat injuries when they take it, ordinary people can prolong their life after taking it, and if you take it for your grandfather, you can live for at least ten more years." As he spoke, he glanced at Ziqian, intentionally or unintentionally, and Ziqian quickly lowered her head, as if she had done something wrong.

"Thank you, Master", Dugu Zhishui was so surprised in his heart that he didn't notice such a detail.

"Since you are my disciples, I will naturally not treat you badly, from tomorrow onwards I will personally guide you in your cultivation, and your life will be very hard in the future, you must be mentally prepared. But before I do that, I want to ask you a question, and you have to answer it truthfully. Han Liyan looked at Dugu Zhishui and Ziqian, and his eyes suddenly became a little sharp, as if he wanted to see through the thoughts of the two.

Dugu Zhishui looked firm and said, "Master, I'm not afraid of hardship, if you have any questions, you can ask." Ziqian also nodded in agreement.

"Why do you want to cultivate?"

"To be stronger. ”

"Then why are you getting stronger?"

"In order to protect grandpa," Dugu Zhishui said first.

"Does your grandfather need your protection? If that's the reason, then there's no need for you to continue cultivating. There was a light of wisdom in Han Li's deep eyes, and for a while, Dugu Zhishui was speechless.

After a long time, Dugu Zhishui spoke again: "I want to go to the outside world, I don't want to stay in this place for the rest of my life, and ......" He didn't say any more.

Han Liyan nodded, he already understood the meaning of Dugu Zhishui, and his gaze turned to Ziqian again.

"Little girl, what about you?"

"I ...... I do not know...... I ......" Ziqian swallowed but never said anything clearly.

Han Liyan waved her hand, signaling that she didn't need to continue. "Why you cultivate, why you become stronger, this is up to you to find out for yourself, you will experience a lot in the years to come, I hope you will always remember this question. ”

Han Liyan stretched out two fingers and pointed them on Dugu Zhishui and Ziqian's foreheads respectively, both of them involuntarily closed their eyes, and after a flash of brilliance, the two opened their eyes again, but their faces were full of surprise. The difference was that Ziqian's face was even more shocked. She couldn't help but tremble: "This ...... This turned out to be ......"

Han Liyan interrupted her and didn't let her continue, but the waves in Ziqian's heart did not stop. She has always been proud of the exercises she has practiced, because this is an ancient practice that has existed since the primeval times, and this kind of exercise has been passed down from the primeval times to the present day in their clan, and it is the secret of their clan, although it is incomplete, it is still extremely mysterious. But...... Han Lixian actually gave her the complete version! She was very puzzled, how did he get this exercise? Coupled with the fact that Han Liyan knew so much about his own clan before, Ziqian was even more puzzled in her heart, what was the relationship between him and her own clan?

"You'd better not think about it, because your clan is not qualified to monopolize this exercise. In Ziqian's confusion, Han Liyan's voice sounded at the right time, which made her calm down instantly.

"I'm sorry, Master. Ziqian lowered her head a little embarrassed.

"Master, why don't I have a name for my exercises? Dugu Zhishui asked.

"It doesn't need a name, and you don't need to know its name, so you can call it Tiangong in the future. The exercises in your mind have been sealed by me, and now you can only see the general outline but not most of the content, and as your strength increases, the seal will automatically be unlocked. Remember, you are not allowed to pass these two exercises on to anyone, and you are not allowed to tell anyone about your exercises, not even those closest to you. Han Liyan said solemnly.

"Master, can you tell Ziqian?" Dugu Zhishui suddenly asked, making Ziqian slightly stunned.

Han Liyan raised his eyebrows and said, "The attributes of the exercises of the two of you are just the same, and indiscriminate cultivation may be counterattacked, so there is no need for you to exchange exercises with each other." ”
