In the Hall of Morality, Li Yuanxiao looked at Tianxiao and Tianyao approvingly: "Although the two of you went down the mountain this time, fortunately they were unharmed, and both entered the late stage of harmony, and my grandfather was very satisfied." You brought back the Seven-Star Sword, and Bai Feng got the snake gall of the Blood Pupil Purple Python, which is an extremely precious treasure. Although two outstanding disciples died in this treasure exploration trip to Youlong County, fortunately, they gained a lot. ”

Speaking of the Seven-Star Sword, Han Mingfei hurriedly asked: "Sect Master, when the six Sect Masters were there, you swore that the Seven-Star Sword was not in the Taiqing Sect, this is ......?"

Li Yuanxiao stroked his beard and smiled: "The Seven Star Sword is indeed not in the Taiqing Sect now. The day after the Great Elder and your master brought the Seven Star Sword back to the sect, I quietly handed it over to a Mahayana realm master from my own sect, and he went to lift the ban left by the Chenguang Sword Immortal. That senior has no fixed place and travels all over the world, so I don't know where the Seven Star Sword is now. ”

There are rules in the world of cultivating immortals, and after entering the Mahayana realm, you can no longer participate in the struggle between sects, and you can only take action when your sect is in crisis. On weekdays, most of them travel far and wide or retreat in some secluded place to prepare for future catastrophes, which is rare. Therefore, almost all of the masters of the Mahayana realm have disappeared in the immortal cultivation realm, whether they are still cultivating or have already crossed the tribulation, whether the tribulation has succeeded or failed to fall, except for the sect master of this sect, almost no one knows.

Zhu Xiaomin sighed: "Mahayana realm...... Since our Taiqing Sect has such a master to protect the Seven Star Sword, then we don't have to worry about being known by the other six major sects!"

"Definitely. In fact, not only the Taiqing Sect, but also the other six major sects also have masters of the Mahayana period, but it is unknown how many there are. The appearance of the Seven-Star Sword this time is a major event related to the future of our sect, so I sent an urgent message to that senior, and he took the Seven-Star Sword away. Before the ban on the sword is completely lifted, it still can't be known by the other six major sects, and if the Mahayana masters of the six sects are recruited, it will be troublesome. Li Yuanxiao is only planning the first step now. If you get the sword and don't use it, it will really destroy the heavens, so in the future, the matter of the seven-star sword will definitely be obvious to the world, and how to deal with the six major sects will still be a tricky problem at that time.

"If that senior crosses the catastrophe in the future, won't the Seven Star Sword become an ownerless thing again?" Tianyao asked suspiciously.

"There's nothing to worry about. With such a priceless treasure as the Seven Star Sword, how could the predecessors let it flow out of the Taiqing Sect? He would definitely deliver it before the tribulation. Yu Ruijiang smiled.

"Yes. Tianyao became curious about the Mahayana masters again, "Grandpa, I don't know how many Mahayana masters there are in my Taiqing Sect?"

Li Yuanxiao stroked his beard and replied with a smile: "Don't say it, don't say it, this is the secret of the sect." Okay, you don't have to worry about the Seven Star Sword, go back to the Bamboo Garden with your master to cultivate with peace of mind. Tianxiao stays for a while, grandpa has something to ask you. ”

There were only two ancestors and grandchildren left in the main hall, and Li Yuanxiao looked at Tianxiao with a smile: "I heard that you and Liying want to become a double monk?"

Tian Xiao touched his head embarrassedly: "Grandpa, you know everything......"

"Well, Liying's girl didn't twist it and told me generously. ”

"Grandpa, ...... What do you think?"

"Tianxiao, with your current realm, it's a little early to consider dual cultivation. Grandpa has no objection to you being together, but if you want to become a Taoist couple, I have one requirement - you must reach the Void Realm. ”

Tianxiao nodded excitedly and said to himself: "Empty Netherworld Realm ......"

"If the realm is too low, there will be only disadvantages and no benefits in cultivating with others. You must know that cultivating immortals is a process of transforming one's body and soul. You are still at the lowest level of Qi cultivation and rejuvenation, which can be said to be not strong in physique and soul in a weak state. The physique can be improved through sword training, but the improvement of the soul is very difficult, feeling the vast aura and understanding the nature of heaven and earth, this is not something that can be completed in a few days. In addition, everyone's feelings and perceptions may be different. The aura in your body has not yet gathered into a primordial infant, and your soul realm is still shallow, and if you cultivate twice, it will disrupt the process of cultivating your soul because of the difference in perception between the Taoist and you. In addition, you have excellent talents, if you immediately double cultivate after reaching the Yuan Infant Period, it is possible that the realm will be unstable due to the speed of cultivating immortals too fast, so the Void Netherworld Realm is the most suitable. Li Yuanxiao's arrangement can be regarded as a motivation for Tianxiao.

"Grandpa, don't worry, I will definitely work hard. Tianxiao's eyes were full of determination.

Li Yuanxiao nodded with satisfaction: "The next goal of you and Tianyao is to successfully break through to the second level, gather spirits into infants, and reach the realm of Yuan Infants, this is a very important step in the process of cultivating immortals, remember not to be distracted by other things and affect your cultivation." ”

Out of the main hall, Tianxiao thought as he walked: "Gather the spirit into a baby...... I don't know what will happen to the demonic power in my body at that time...... That's it, there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, and besides, it's still early before the infancy of the yuan. Letting go of his thoughts, he strode towards Weikong Peak.

......

On the way back to Zhuyuan, Zhu Xiaomin said with guilt: "On the way to come just now, I heard Brother Tianxiao and Brother Tianyao say that it was not Senior Brother Lu who leaked the news of the Seven Star Sword at all, and I really shouldn't have doubted him at that time. ”

"Senior Brother Lu is very high-cultivation, and he is kind, but he likes to drink a little wine, which is not a problem. I think he can be a role model for all the disciples of the sect. Tianyao admires Lu Baifeng very much.

"If Bai Feng hadn't saved you this time, you might all have died in the mouth of the blood-pupiled purple python. It seems that with your cultivation as the realm, it is a little too early to go out of the sect and practice. I don't plan to let you go down until you have the ability to run for your lives. When Yu Ruijiang spoke, everyone happened to come to the three halls in the back mountain, "I still have some business, you three go back first." With that, he walked into the alchemy room.

"I really envy you, you only practiced a year earlier than me, and now you are in the late stage of reconciliation. Soon it will be the Yuan Infant Stage, followed by the Void and the Void, wow, and then you will enter the Silence and become an Elder!" Zhu Xiaomin said exaggeratedly.

Tianyao couldn't cry or laugh: "You are reading books when you are cultivating immortals, and you can turn pages so quickly." Now it takes three or four years to cultivate to Yuanying in the late stage of Hehe, how can it be so easy?"

Zhu Xiaomin grinned and patted Tianyao's shoulder: "It's okay, I have confidence in you." Three or four years is for ordinary immortal cultivators, you and Brother Tianxiao are not geniuses, it will definitely not take that long. ”

Han Mingfei also smiled and said to Zhu Xiaomin: "Little junior sister, you just talk about others, what about yourself? Don't forget, you are also a first-class root, don't live up to the title of 'genius'." ”

Zhu Xiaomin was about to say something, when suddenly a person turned around the corner of the road in front of him and shouted: "Senior Sister Xiaomin!"

As soon as he heard this voice, Zhu Xiaomin frowned. It was none other than Yan Luoting, who had left his companions in the Green Cloud Swamp and fled alone.

After Yan Luoting left everyone in the Green Cloud Swamp that day, he did not encounter any danger along the way. As soon as he walked out of the Green Cloud Swamp, he immediately flew back to Taiqing Sect, for the sake of face, he did not say that he escaped alone because he was afraid, only that everyone was in danger, and he rushed back to report the news first. Later, when he heard that Han Mingfei had returned from a serious injury in the Green Cloud Swamp, Yan Luoting was unable to sit still, for fear that Han Mingfei would expose his lies. However, Han Mingfei is not a person who likes to chew his tongue, and he didn't say much after returning to the sect, so no one in the sect knew about Yan Luoting's extremely unrighteous actions.

This time, he didn't know where he learned that Zhu Xiaomin and they had encountered the Blood Pupil Purple Python, so he hurried to visit Zhuyuan. Tang Junhe told him that Zhu Xiaomin had been called to the Hall of Morality, so he simply waited for Zhu Xiaomin to come back on the way.

Seeing the entourage and Han Mingfei and Tianyao, Yan Luoting was slightly embarrassed, and bowed: "Senior Brother Han, Senior Brother He." He was uneasy in his heart, after all, the two of them knew the original situation, and he was worried that the two of them would tell Zhu Xiaomin about it.

"Little junior sister, since Senior Brother Yan has something to do with you, then let's go first. Han Mingfei saw Yan Luoting's embarrassment, winked at Zhu Xiaomin, and left with Tianyao.

Zhu Xiaomin was angry and anxious, she didn't like to deal with Yan Luoting, but the two left her alone. "This Yan Luo Pavilion is really annoying. Thinking in his heart, Zhu Xiaomin's face was like frost: "I don't know what Senior Brother Yan is looking for me?"

Seeing Han Mingfei and Tianyao walking away, Yan Luoting breathed a sigh of relief and put on a very concerned look: "Senior Sister Xiaomin, I heard that you met the Blood Pupil Purple Python when you went down the mountain this time, and I was very anxious. When I heard that you had returned to the sect, I came to visit you. You're not hurt, are you?"

"Senior Brother Yan looks at me like he's hurt?" Zhu Xiaomin asked rhetorically.

"No, no...... Seeing that my sister was safe and sound, the stone in my heart fell to the ground. Alas, I have been very annoyed since I learned the news, if it wasn't for the news and rushed back to the sect early, I would definitely do my best to protect my junior sister when I met the Blood Pupil Purple Python, even if I didn't hesitate to fight for my life!" Yan Luoting seemed to be very regretful.

Zhu Xiaomin's eyes widened at first, and then he couldn't help but laugh out loud, and then turned into a hilarious laugh, laughing so much that Yan Luoting was confused, thinking in his heart: "Did I say the wrong thing just now?" He thought about it carefully, as if there was nothing wrong, so he asked with concern: "Senior Sister Xiaomin, I don't know what is so interesting?"

"Senior Brother Yan, I have never seen such a brazen person. Obviously he was cowardly and cowardly, and he fled for his life alone regardless of his companions, and he still called it 'reporting the news'? When you encountered the Purple Python with blood pupils, you still 'did your best to keep me safe'? Is that really the situation, with Senior Brother Yan's cultivation and courage, I am afraid that he would have been scared and disappeared long ago, hahaha!" Zhu Xiaomin didn't give Yan Luoting any face, and laughed at him so much that his face turned red and white for a while. In fact, Zhu Xiaomin had already asked everyone in detail about what happened in the Green Cloud Swamp, and after learning about Yan Luoting's unrighteous actions, she scoffed, and didn't want Yan Luoting to speak out in front of her today.

"Ah...... Zhu, Senior Sister Zhu, I suddenly remembered that the master had something to do with me, so I will leave first!" Yan Luoting really had no shame to stay any longer, leaving Zhu Xiaomin, who was leaning forward and back, and left in a gloomy manner.

Tianxiao happened to pass by Yan Luoting. "Xiaomin, why are you so happy?" he looked curiously at Zhu Xiaomin, who was laughing.

"Brother Tianxiao, do you know what Senior Brother Yan said just now?" he said......" chatting, and the two walked away.

Yan Luoting's face was like fire at this time, half ashamed, half angry. originally wanted to pretend to please Zhu Xiaomin, but she didn't want to be ridiculed by her. "So she knew it all...... With Senior Brother Lu's calm personality, he shouldn't be able to talk to others, and Senior Brother Han is not a person who plays with words, it must be the two stinky boys Tianxiao and Tianyao who said that I am not in front of Xiaomin. I don't know if they will spread the word about it, but if the whole sect knows, it will be a shame...... Really, how could they be so lucky? they didn't die in the swamp!" Yan Luoting counted this account on the heads of Tianxiao and Tianyao. He was depressed in his heart, and walked faster and faster, bypassing a small forest, turning onto a path, and coldly bumping into a person.

"Ah, it's Senior Brother Yan, I'm sorry. The person who came was Xiao Liying, who was carrying a small mahogany box in her hand.

Seeing that it was Xiao Liying, Yan Luoting's qi was a little smoother, but after thinking about it, Xiao Liying was on good terms with Tianxiao in the swamp and dense forest at that time, and he couldn't help but feel a wall in his heart again, and snorted in his nose, which was considered a response. Looking at the direction, Xiao Liying should be going to the Bamboo Garden, so Yan Luoting asked coldly: "Senior Sister Xiao is going to the Bamboo Garden?"

"Exactly. There are some pills in this box, which Master asked me to give to the Seventh Elder. If Senior Brother Yan is fine, I'll leave first. Xiao Liying finished smiling, bypassed the Yan Luo Pavilion, and disappeared around the corner of the path.

Looking at Xiao Liying's back, Yan Luoting clenched his fists, unconsciously, he didn't even notice that his nails were embedded in the flesh, and after standing for a moment, he left with a gloomy face.

Xiao Liying came to the bamboo garden and suddenly saw a person standing on the edge of the bamboo forest outside the garden, looking into the garden. Take a closer look, it turned out to be Qin Yuejie who teamed up with Tianxiao in the Taiqing Martial Arts Conference to stage a wonderful "cultural and martial arts fight".

Xiao Liying smiled secretly in his heart: "It turned out to be that interesting guy, look at me to scare him." She tiptoed behind Qin Yuejie without making a sound. And Qin Yuejie had been paying attention to the situation in the bamboo garden, and didn't seem to notice that there was someone behind him. Xiao Liying held her breath, quietly raised her right hand, and just wanted to pat Qin Yuejie's shoulder, but Qin Yuejie suddenly turned her head and shouted at the same time: "Senior Sister Xiao is good!"

At this time, Xiao Liying was taken aback by him, his eyes were wide open, his mouth was slightly open, his right hand held in the air trembled slightly, and the mahogany box he was holding in his left hand also fell to the ground, the lid of the box fell open, and several pill bottles rolled out.

"You're going to die, you're scared to death!" Xiao Liying came back to her senses and punched Qin Yuejie's chest, "Look, it's all your fault, the pills that Master asked me to bring to the Seventh Elder were all spilled!" She squatted down to clean up the scattered medicine bottles while sneering.

Qin Yuejie smiled "hehe": "Senior Sister Xiao, don't you want to scare me? Fortunately, I already noticed it." The pill bottle hasn't been broken, and the cork hasn't fallen off, so I'll pick it up for you. ”

"You also said that if I hadn't packed it in a wooden box, so many medicine bottles would have to be broken!

After cleaning up, Qin Yuejie stood up and scratched his head embarrassedly: "It's nothing important." Just now, Master and Senior Brother returned to Shuimi Peak from the Daode Palace, and told us about the six major sect masters who asked about the whereabouts of the Seven Star Sword, and said that the Red Sun Sect Master might take Senior Sister Zhu away, so I came over to take a look......"

Xiao Liying nodded. She remembered that Tianxiao had said that the sect master Li Yuanxiao had a relationship with Zhu Qingxue back then. Zhu Xiaomin is Zhu Qingxue's granddaughter, and Zhu Honglie, the sect leader of the Red Sun, is also surnamed Zhu, it seems that Zhu Honglie and Zhu Xiaomin must be related by blood.

"Then you can go in and see it if you want, sneaking around here, like you're going to do something bad. Let's go in together. After Xiao Liying finished speaking, he walked towards the garden.

"Hey, don't yet!" Qin Yuejie hurriedly grabbed Xiao Liying's sleeve and said in a low voice, "Senior sister, it's just right for you to deliver medicine, and I just had a fight with Senior Brother He Tianxiao, and I don't know anyone else very well, so this ...... Not really, right?"

Xiao Liying was happy, and said secretly: "This kid is really in love with Senior Sister Xiaomin." ”

"You're still sharp-toothed. Besides, it's normal for people to care about each other, but it's even more suspicious that you're like this now. Hurry up and follow me in!" Xiao Liying couldn't help but say, and dragged Qin Yuejie into the bamboo garden.

Coincidentally, Zhu Xiaomin walked out of the room. When he saw Xiao Liying, he immediately shouted affectionately: "Sister-in-law, you're here!"

Xiao Liying laughed and laughed: "Why are you messing around with Tianyao! Don't call me that anymore." I'm here to give this box of pills to Elder Yu. ”

Zhu Xiaomin showed a sly smile: "Anyway, it's a matter of time, isn't it the same to call early and late?" Master, he went to the alchemy room, and he hasn't come back yet, you give me the medicine, and I'll hand it over to Master in a while." After taking the mahogany box, she looked at Qin Yuejie behind Xiao Liying, "Senior Brother Qin is also here, you want to find Brother Tianxiao?"

"Ah, Senior Sister Zhu, hello. I'm not here to find Senior Brother He, I'm here to ...... I'm here to see all of you. Qin Yuejie was a little hurried.

Xiao Liying secretly laughed: "Look at this stupid mouth...... Forget it, I'll help him. So, she asked Zhu Xiaomin: "By the way, Xiaomin, I heard that the Red Sun Sect Master wants to take you away from the Taiqing Sect?"

Zhu Xiaomin replied, "The Red Sun Sect Master is actually my great-grandfather. Because of the discord between the two sects, he wanted to take me away, but I had already told him that I would not leave here. ”

Qin Yuejie next to him listened and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Since the last Taiqing Martial Arts Meeting, Senior Sister Jiang Yuxin has grabbed his handle, and Qin Yuejie no longer dares to mention the name "He Tianxiao" during the competition. Although he claimed that he liked Zhu Xiaomin in order to interfere with the other party when he competed with Tianxiao, Jiang Yuxin seemed to want to avenge Qin Yuejie's exposure of his heart in front of the public, and he mentioned Zhu Xiaomin from time to time. At first, Qin Yuejie didn't care about it, but he didn't expect that whenever Jiang Yuxin mentioned the word "Zhu Xiaomin", he would recall the beautiful face under the stage at the beginning. In this way, the shadow in Qin Yuejie's heart became more and more profound, and he also knew very well that he was afraid that he really liked Zhu Xiaomin.

Zhu Xiaomin went down the mountain with the Great Elder not long ago, and had just returned to Taiqing Sect until the day before. Today, when Master Hong Yunlei returned to Shui Mifeng's residence, he brought back the news that Zhu Xiaomin might be leaving Taiqing Sect. Qin Yuejie couldn't help but be anxious, so he quietly came to the bamboo garden alone, wanting to inquire about the situation. Now that Zhu Xiaomin said that she would not leave, Qin Yuejie is finally at ease.

"Isn't this Senior Brother Qin, I haven't seen you for a long time!" Tianyao walked out of the room.

"Senior Brother Tianyao, I heard that you have gone through many hardships and dangers this time, and the encounter must be very exciting, I am very envious. Qin Yuejie said.

"There are many dangers, nine deaths and one life, and after you know the details, you will definitely not say envy anymore. Tianyao sighed.

"Don't stand in the yard and talk, let's all go inside. Xiao Liying urged. She came to Zhuyuan this time to deliver medicine, and secondly, to ask Tianxiao and Li Yuanxiao's attitude towards the two of them. When Xiao Liying mentioned to Li Yuanxiao about the double cultivation with Tianxiao, Li Yuanxiao just smiled, but did not express his position.

In the room, Han Mingfei and Tang Junhe were also there. After everyone greeted, not long after chatting, Yu Ruijiang pushed open the door and walked in.

Everyone immediately stood up and saluted Yu Ruijiang. Yu Ruijiang nodded, and then said, "Master Wei is going to participate in the 'Ten Thousand Immortals Conference' with the sect master and several other elders next month, so I will be in retreat in the alchemy room for alchemy these days." If you have nothing important, do not come to me. ”

"Yes, Master. The crowd responded in unison.

After Yu Ruijiang left the door, Tianxiao asked Han Mingfei suspiciously: "Senior brother, what's going on with the 'Ten Thousand Immortals Conference'? It seems that the master attaches great importance to it." ”
