Immediately, Tianyao realized that he had said the wrong thing, but it was too late. Even Xiao Liying laughed when she heard this. Tianxiao, on the other hand, couldn't say a word, and blushed like an apple.

Suddenly, Tianxiao and Tianyao's heads were knocked heavily together, and the two of them rubbed their teeth while looking back at their grandfather, who couldn't cry or laugh. Li Yuanxiao reprimanded with a straight face: "What are you two little things thinking about all day long? Do you know how old she is older than you?"

Indeed, cultivating immortals can delay aging and maintain youth, but it is difficult to see the true age of a cultivator just by his appearance. However, Xiao Liying is an adult after all, even if she is an ordinary person, the age gap between her and a twelve-year-old child is quite obvious.

Tianxiao seemed to feel too embarrassed, and took a sharp breath: "Grandpa, brother, let's go!" He took Li Yuanxiao and He Tianyao's hands and drilled into the crowd next to him.

People were smiling and consciously making way for the two lovely children. Xiao Liying, who was standing behind the table, looked at the backs of the three of them in the distance, and the smile always remained on his face, thinking: "These two little guys are really interesting." ”

Walking out of the square, Tianxiao let go of his hand, slowed down his pace, lowered his head and walked forward step by step, not knowing what he was thinking. Tianyao in the back saw that his brother and grandfather didn't speak, and he was also cautious and didn't dare to say anything.

Li Yuanxiao's face was serious, but he was amused in his heart: "These two little things, no matter how you say it, are still twelve-year-old children." ”

Suddenly, Tianxiao turned around, looked at Li Yuanxiao, and said seriously: "Grandpa, I wasn't wrong just now, that sister is really beautiful." ”

Li Yuanxiao laughed when he heard this: "Haha, little thing, it has nothing to do with you whether that sister is beautiful or not! What kind of 'Xiaocui' did Tianyao say just now, what is going on?" Li Yuanxiao is in the position of the sect master, in addition to cultivation every day, he is also tired of the affairs of the sect, and it is rare to laugh heartily today, so he also began to amuse Tianxiao.

Tianyao hurriedly replied: "Grandpa, you don't know, there is a lady Wang in the kitchen of the villa, which is good to us." She has a daughter named Xiaocui, and Xiaocui's father died of illness a long time ago, so she lives in Zhuangzi with her eldest mother. We used to play together a lot, and one day Xiaocui secretly told me that she liked her brother!"

Tianxiao didn't interject, and when Tianyao finished speaking, he lowered his head and muttered: "I only think Xiaocui is sister, how can I like it or not......" In the end, girls are precocious than boys, and their love opens early.

Li Yuanxiao's eyes narrowed with laughter, and after laughing, he took the two lovely grandsons: "Okay, don't think about that beautiful sister, don't think about that Xiaocui, let's go to the inn." Are you hungry? Grandpa buys you something to eat!"

Tianxiao immediately got rid of his depressed mood, cheered with his younger brother Tianyao, and made a fuss around his grandfather.

After a while, the three of them came to the most famous inn in Haozhou City-Xueqing Inn. When it comes to Xueqing Inn, you will think of its founder, Zhu Qingxue. At the beginning, Zhu Qingxue started from scratch and built an inn on her own. At first, the inn was named "Qingxue Inn", and although it was painstakingly managed, business has been cold. Later, Zhu Qingxue got a feng shui master to guide the maze, and turned the word "Qingxue" upside down and turned it into "Xueqing Inn", taking its meaning of "snow stops and sees the sun", so the business gradually became bigger. Up to now, almost every big city in the Qinglong Continent has a branch of the Xueqing Inn.

After entering the inn, Li Yuanxiao first ordered a table of Haozhou City's special dishes, which made the two grandsons feast on a feast, as for himself, the immortal cultivator has nothing to do without eating or drinking for a long time, and the delicious food is not very attractive to him. Then, Li Yuanxiao asked the shopkeeper for a guest room. Entering the room, he sat in front of his two grandsons and said solemnly: "Xiao'er and Yao'er, listen up, grandpa will now inform you of the important matters concerning the cultivation of immortals. ”

Seeing that his grandfather was so serious, Tianxiao and Tianyao sat upright and listened carefully.

Li Yuanxiao said: "You are about to enter the Taiqing Sect to cultivate immortals, and some of the specific details about cultivating immortals must not be clear to you." While I have time now, my grandfather will explain it to you well, so as not to make more detours on the way to cultivating immortals in the future.

The way of cultivating immortals has existed in the Qinglong Continent for a long time, but people who are not cultivating immortals know almost nothing about the process of cultivating immortals. Cultivating immortals can be divided into three levels, namely refining qi and returning to the gods, refining the gods and returning the void, and refining the void to be true. Each major level is divided into three realms, and the three realms of refining qi and returning the spirit are foundation building, purifying the spirit, and harmony. The three realms of refining the gods and returning to the void are the primordial infant, the void, and the void. And the three realms of refining void are extinction, Mahayana, and tribulation. Each realm can be subdivided into three periods: the front, the middle, and the post. After the immortal cultivator builds the foundation, he can have at least about ninety years of life. After reaching the realm of Yuan Infant, the lifespan can be extended to 110 years. When you cultivate to the realm of extinction, you will be able to live to be 15 or 60 years old. However, life span is limited after all, and if the cultivation progress is too slow to exceed the life span, then the outcome will be the same as the failure of the final tribulation, and you will die regretfully. Do you remember?"

He Tianxiao and He Tianyao both nodded. How smart the two of them are, all the words that Li Yuanxiao said once have been deeply imprinted in his mind.

Li Yuanxiao continued: "If you want to become an immortal, it is very important to cultivate both body and spirit, and it can be said that the path of cultivating immortals is a process of transforming one's own spirit and body and reaching the realm of sword immortals. Cultivating immortals must be cultivated according to the secret book of cultivating immortals. The secret books of cultivating immortals of all sects in the Qinglong Continent are sword books, and only through sword practice can you feel the aura laws between heaven and earth. The sword book records the moves of using the sword, practicing the sword and forging the body, absorbing the aura of heaven and earth, and improving spiritual power through meditation. A good sword is needed for a high attack, and a good sword is needed for high efficiency. Therefore, both the sword weapon and the sword book are very important and complement each other. Got it?"

Tianxiao remembered his decision to practice swords, and asked with a little disappointment: "Grandpa, cultivating immortals must be cultivated according to the sword book, and other weapons do not have corresponding classics, so they can't cultivate at all, is that true?"

Li Yuanxiao nodded and said, "Yes, at least in the Qinglong Continent. You must have heard of the battle between the immortals and demons back then, and no one knew the cultivation methods of those sword demons, and they didn't know where they came from. Since the creation of the path of cultivating immortals, no one has ever succeeded in cultivating immortals with other weapons. ”

"Then if you use other weapons to cultivate according to the sword book, can you also cultivate into an immortal?" Tianxiao asked again.

Li Yuanxiao touched his beard and replied, "Of course not." There are not just shapes between the various weapons, each weapon has a completely different move and routine. According to your thoughts, can you cultivate into an immortal with a single stone?"

"I see. Tianxiao was a little frustrated.

"Then what level and realm are you, grandpa?" asked Tianyao.

"Grandpa is now at the true level of refining the void, and he is in the middle realm of extinction. Li Yuanxiao said with a smile, "Usually, ordinary people who see immortal cultivators who can fly with swords are called 'Shang Immortals', but they don't know that as long as they reach the Yuanying realm, they can practice the art of sword control." The so-called 'immortals' can only be called those immortal cultivators who have successfully survived the heavenly tribulation. Since ancient times, people who can cultivate into sword immortals are all amazing and brilliant characters. Other immortal cultivators who failed to reach the tribulation or failed to cross the tribulation were all ......"

"Then where did all those sword immortals who broke through the void go?" He Tianyao continued to ask.

"Ascend to the Otherworld, no one knows what kind of place it is...... Anyway, it's too far away for you to think about. In the future, no matter who your master is, you must follow his teachings and cultivate hard. Well, now there are two hours left before the unitary hour, so you can rest in this room and don't run around. My grandfather went to the pharmacy to buy some medicines. After Li Yuanxiao finished speaking, he left the room.

The Immortal Cultivation Sect is not a harmonious group. The Qinglong Continent is divided into seven counties, each of which has a major sect, and is called the "Seven Great Sects". As for the small sects, there are even more of them. On weekdays, sects compete with each other for rare fairy swords, elixirs, precious cheats, etc., but the status of the seven major sects has always been unshakable, and many small sects will not be stupid enough to be enemies of the seven major sects. The struggle between the small sects, the seven major sects do not need to care, and they do not bother to care. And there will also be fights between the disciples of the seven major sects, and casualties are inevitable, so the Taiqing Sect buys a large number of medicinal materials in the nearby state city every year for the alchemy in the sect.

Tianxiao and Tianyao, who stayed in the room, did not rest. The hierarchical system and realm process of cultivating immortals brought them a great shock. Tianyao looked at Tianxiao, who was frowning next to him, and asked, "Brother, what are you going to do?" Do you tell your grandfather that you like to practice swords, or do you hide it from him first and practice swords like me?"

"Tell grandpa, I guess grandpa is going to be angry. I can see that my grandfather, like my father, has great expectations for us. Besides, there are no immortal cultivation classics that use knives, so I think it's better to practice swords first, and it's a big deal to practice swords secretly by yourself to see if you can figure out something. Brother Yao, don't tell your grandfather about it. ”

"Don't worry, we know about this, and I will never tell anyone. It's great that you can think like this, I'm afraid that after you tell your grandfather truthfully, your grandfather will not allow you to enter the sect and cultivate immortals, so our brothers will be separated for a long time, and I can't bear it. Now we can still cultivate together. Tianyao is a little more introverted than Tianxiao, and he is with his brother wherever he goes, so he doesn't want to be separated from his brother in his heart.

Tianxiao smiled, looked at his younger brother and said, "I don't want to be separated from you either." Now that my father and mother are far away in Xuzhou, my grandfather must be very busy as the sect master, and no matter what happens in the future, our brothers will face it together. ”

Tianyao nodded happily. Tianxiao is relaxed on the surface, but in fact, there is a little shadow in his heart: "I don't like to use swords, but I still have to practice swordsmanship, and I don't know what realm I can achieve in the future with this mentality, alas, ......"

"Brother, you said that the sword cultivation book is difficult to learn, I'm afraid I won't be able to learn it. Tianyao was a little worried about the future journey of cultivating immortals.

"Listening to what my grandfather said, it is estimated that it is not easy, otherwise over the years, how can only so few people have cultivated to become sword immortals? Brother Yao, don't fall behind other disciples and embarrass your grandfather. "It's still more thorough for Tianxiao.

"Okay, but you're still worried about yourself, and don't forget, I've been using the sword for two years longer than you. ”

"Haha, the basic usage of knives and swords is about the same, with my cleverness, it must be fine. ”

The brothers just talked about the future with you and me.

......

Li Yuanxiao walked on the way to the pharmacy, and kept thinking in his heart: "Xiao'er and Yao'er are so qualified, returning to the sect will definitely surprise everyone." If the Seven Elders could take a fancy to him and take the two of them as apprentices, it would be even better......"

The Taiqing Sect only has the position of the true sect master, and there is no deputy sect master. In addition to the sect master, the elders who have more power in the sect are the elders. At that time, the Taiqing Patriarch stipulated that the disciples in the sect, who had cultivated to the realm of Refining the Void True Level, were eligible to enter the Council of Elders as elders. Most of the people who have reached the Mahayana realm will leave the sect and travel around, comprehending the natural way of heaven in order to break through, or find a cave in the blessed land to meditate and prepare for the future tribulation, and naturally they will have no time to ask about the affairs of the sect.

The Taiqing Sect now has thirteen elders, among which the seven elders with the highest cultivation level have reached the late stage of extinction. The ranking of elders is determined according to the order in which they have reached the realm of extinction, and if an elder steps into the Mahayana realm or dies for some reason, he will naturally leave the Council of Elders, and all the elders at the bottom of the ranking will be promoted by one.

Li Yuanxiao was also an elder of the Presbyterian Church before, and was later voted by the Presbyterian Church as the current sect leader. The Seventh Elder cultivated more than ten years later than Li Yuanxiao, but he stepped into the late stage of annihilation first, which shows the excellence of his talent.

Thinking about it, Li Yuanxiao had already walked to the pharmacy. This pharmacy is one of the more famous pharmacy in Haozhou City, and for many years, the Taiqing Sect has been buying medicinal materials in large quantities here, and the shopkeeper of the pharmacy naturally recognizes the dignified Taiqing Sect master.

"It turns out that Sect Master Li is here, please come in. The shopkeeper was sharp-eyed, and Li Yuanxiao was seen by him as soon as he arrived at the door. The shopkeeper wore a fan hat, was not tall, had small eyes but had a spirit, and had two beards, and looked shrewd.

"Shopkeeper Zhou, I haven't seen you for a long time. This time, I brought my grandson to sign up for the sect, and by the way, I bought some medicinal herbs to go back. Li Yuan said.

"Sect Master Li's grandson, that must be a promising future. I don't know what medicinal herbs the sect master needs this time?"

Li Yuanxiao took out a piece of paper from his arms: "The type and amount of medicinal materials have been written on this piece of paper, and in three days, I will send someone to pick it up." After that, he suddenly remembered something important, so he asked the shopkeeper, "By the way, do you have any bloodweed here?" ”

"Bloodweed? Not at the moment. I don't know if Sect Master Li is for the purpose of building a foundation for his grandson? If it is urgent, I will send someone to buy it, and it will be prepared together with other medicinal materials in three days. "Shopkeeper Zhou has been selling medicinal herbs for many years, and he is quite clear about the efficacy of precious herbs.

Dew blood grass, born in the valley, the grass is about half a foot long, the leaves are green, and the grass heart is dark red, so it is named "dew blood". It can be refined with common medicinal materials such as aster, Qinjiang, and nightshade to form Zhuji Dan. Zhuji Dan has the effect of expanding the meridians and nourishing the dantian, and the immortal cultivators can greatly shorten the foundation building time, and ordinary people can also enhance their physique when they take it, and the effect varies according to the physical quality of the user.

Bloodweed itself is not a common medicinal material, the quantity is scarce, the herb picker has to climb down the valley to the bottom of the valley to see the bloodgrass, and many valleys are full of miasma all year round, snakes and scorpions and other poisons are accompanied, so the bloodgrass is priceless in most cases. Shopkeeper Zhou dared to pack the tickets and prepare them within three days, and it seems that he has a very wide network.

Not only is the material rare, but the refining of Zhuji Dan is by no means easy, not only does it require the alchemist's spiritual power to be profound, but there is also a chance of failure. Therefore, after refining the Zhuji Dan, the Taiqing Sect Danfang handed it over to Li Yuanxiao for safekeeping, so as to give it to the talented disciples in the sect. Li Yuanxiao now has a Zhuji Dan. This time, I bought two bloodweeds to ensure that I could refine another Tsukidan.

Li Yuanxiao got the promise of the shopkeeper Zhou, and was in a good mood, and on the way back to the Xueqing Inn, he specially bought two strings of rock sugar gourds that children love and brought to his two lovely grandsons.

Pushing open the door, Li Yuanxiao saw two children lying side by side on the big bed, both asleep. Li Yuanxiao smiled, did not disturb them, put the rock sugar gourd on the table, sat on the chair next to the table and closed his eyes to recuperate.

Time passed quickly, Li Yuanxiao opened his eyes and saw the incense burner on the table, it was already three o'clock in the hour, and it was close to the agreed unitary time, so he woke up the two grandsons who were still asleep.

Tianxiao and Tianyao opened their eyes, and the first thing they saw was the two strings of rock sugar gourds, and they suddenly fell asleep, happily jumped out of bed and rushed to the table, grabbing and eating one string at a time. Li Yuanxiao touched the heads of the two of them dotingly, and led the two out of the Xueqing Inn.

Back in the square, the crowd has dispersed a lot. The sun is thin, the sky is dark, and the annual Taiqing Sect Disciple Acceptance Conference has come to an end.

The five disciples in charge of recruiting and testing saw Li Yuanxiao and the three of them coming, and greeted them from afar. Not far to the left of the long table, there was a row of chairs, on which several people were now seated.

This row of chairs is for those who have passed the test and their families to rest. Those who pass the test have to wait until the unitary time before they can leave with the Taiqing disciples and go to Tiandao Mountain. Once you join the sect, it is very inconvenient to go out, and you don't know when you will be able to meet your family again, so people cherish this last bit of time together and accompany their children until the end of the conference.

There is a person on the chair, indicating that a child has passed the root bone test. Li Yuanxiao looked at Xiao Liying, the leader of the five disciples.

Xiao Liying reported: "Master, this year's luck is average, and I only harvested two children with excellent bones in the afternoon. ”

Li Yuanxiao let go of Tianxiao and Tianyao's hands, touched his beard and said, "It's okay, plus my two grandsons, that is, the four of them are qualified." There are not many apprentices in the fine. ”

Accepting disciples is the only way to keep the sect going. There are not many people with excellent roots, so the big sects also hope that there will be more people who pass the test every time they accept disciples. When the masters in the sect cultivate immortals to the Mahayana realm, they will leave the sect, so the sect still has to rely on the support of the younger generations who have grown up.

The seven major sects of the Qinglong Continent have agreed with each other that they are only allowed to openly recruit disciples in the sect's own county. If anyone wants to join the sect of another county, he must not be hindered. The strength of the seven major sects is similar and their reputation is similar, so they don't worry about not being able to receive disciples, so they have never violated the regulations for a long time. Other small sects can't and don't dare to compete with the seven major sects for disciples. Therefore, only people with ordinary roots and bones would join the small sect, which also made it difficult for the small sect to have a cultivator who had achieved cultivation.

Li Yuanxiao walked to the row of chairs, and the people sitting on the chairs had all seen the scene of his imperial sword and knew that he was the sect master of the Taiqing Sect, so they all stood up and saluted. There were two children among them, both boys, and one was about the same height as Tianxiao and Tianyao, and was slightly thin. The other one was shorter, a little chubby.

Li Yuanxiao looked at the two of them and asked, "What's your name?"

The little fat man didn't recognize his life, and replied angrily: "My name is Jiang Qigao." ”

The thin child was very cold, and directly reported a name: "Luo Haibo." ”

The two twelve-year-old children are still not deeply involved in the world, and the way they speak and the tone of their voices can basically see their personalities.

"Na Luo Haibo is a person with a strong heart, and his future achievements are worth looking forward to. This Jiang Qigao estimates that his popularity in the sect will be good in the future, but he doesn't know how patient he is. Li Yuanxiao thought to himself.

The adults standing next to him were all relatives and elders of Jiang Qigao and Luo Haibo, and they came over to ask Li Yuanxiao one by one.

"Sect Master Li, look at my child, because his family is wealthy, he has eaten well since he was a child, he is chubby, and he has never suffered hardship. When you come to the sect, I hope you will temper and temper ......," said a middle-aged man with a big fat man who looked seven points like a little fat man.

"Sect Master Li, my Haibo is introverted, if you get into trouble in the future, please ask Duoduo Haihan to ......" It seems that this woman should be Luo Haibo's mother.

As soon as Li Yuanxiao raised his hand, everyone stopped talking, and he said slowly: "Since I have been accepted as a disciple by my Taiqing Sect, the sect will definitely take care of their lives and strictly supervise their cultivation, you can rest assured." When the opportunity arises, I will also let them visit home. It's just that the future achievements of immortal cultivation depend on the efforts of the two of them. Okay, it's not early, we're ready to go back to the sect, so you should go back early. ”

At this time, the five Taiqing disciples next to him all walked over, and the two male disciples rose up with their swords, bringing Jiang Qigao and Luo Haibo respectively, while Tianxiao and Tianyao were carried by Li Yuanxiao himself, and a line of six immortal swords, in the reluctant gaze of the relatives, flew into the sky in an instant.
