Chapter 15 Comfortable
A flash of eyes, I had already returned to the huge rocks on the beach. The sunset was setting, and golden light shone on the sea.
Yu He was standing in front, and there was someone standing next to her, which was Senior Brother Shang Jingran.
Li Haoran was grateful and hurried over and bowed: "Let Senior Brother Shang wait for a long time."
Shang Jingran smiled and said, "It's okay, I just arrived."
Yu He also went over to show his respects. It seemed that she and Shang Jingran were a little familiar. He asked from the side: "So Brother Shang, is he the one you are waiting for?"
Shang Jingran nodded and asked in confusion: "What? Do you know each other?"
Li Haoran replied: "I know you in this water mystery realm, so I would like to thank her for explaining some things in the sect to me."
"I'm not grateful. Since Senior Brother Shang is waiting for you, I'll take a step first if I have something to do." Yu He said as he saluted the two of them and turned around and left.
Yu He lightly tapped his toes, and his whole body rose from the ground, as if he was floating, and he was wandering in the air and landing towards the valley. This was very different from the other other people who came out of the Shuixuan Realm at this time. Not only did he move beautifully, but he also seemed slow, but he was faster than others.
Shang Jingran looked at Li Haoran in amazement and explained: "Yuhe's family is a martial arts family. Before practicing Canglan Jue, he was very good at martial arts. After practicing Qi and tempering his body, he became more and more powerful."
Li Haoran looked at Yu He's disappearing into the cave, and felt a little expectant.
"Okay, I'll send you back to Yunhan Peak first. It would be bad if you were too late and Junior Sister Lu missed it." Shang Jingran patted Li Haoran's shoulder and said.
"So much, thank you Senior Brother Shang." Li Haoran said.
"Okay, let's go." Shang Jingran nodded, waved his right hand, and a ray of light lit up, leading Li Haoran toward Yunhan Peak.
The two of them were carrying a green gourd. Shang Jingran told Li Haoran along the way how he picked the green wood gourd from a valley in the Qianqing realm and refined it into a magic weapon.
The clouds and mist flowed, and the mountains and rivers passed by. After Shang Jingran finished speaking, he had just fallen on Yunhan Peak.
After watching Shang Jingran leave, Li Haoran walked towards the house. He had to go to his senior sister's place to report first, so that Lu Xiyu would not run to the Five Elements Valley again.
Walking along the way, passing by the kitchen, my eyes passed over the fence made of green bamboo and saw my senior sister Lu Xiyu sitting at the kitchen door.
Lu Xiyu sat on a small bamboo stool, and there was a small stove in front of him. At this time, a pottery jar was placed on the small stove, and wisps of blue smoke rose from the pottery jar.
Lu Xiyu supported her chin with her left hand, and put her right hand on her leg from time to time, bounced her fingers and flew out of her hand and flew into the small stove.
Lu Xiyu's eyes closed slightly, her slender eyelashes trembled slightly, as if she had fallen asleep, and as if she would open her eyes at any time. The wind blew gently across the grass and trees, gently blowing her white dress, gently brushing the love threads scattered behind her head. A few light threads danced and finally fell on her slightly round and smooth face.
Li Haoran gently pushed the courtyard door and walked inside.
"Um."
Lu Xiyu opened her eyes slightly and turned her head slightly toward Li Haoran.
"My junior brother is back, I said I'll pick you up later." Lu Xiyu said lazily in a slightly lazily voice.
"It was Brother Shang who sent me back." Li Haoran, who felt a little warm in his heart when he looked at Lu Xiyu's appearance.
"Senior Brother Shang is still so enthusiastic. He took great care of me when I was practicing in the Five Elements Valley." Lu Xiyu said as she stretched her waist, then took out a small bamboo stool from the kitchen door and handed it to Li Haoran and continued: "If you have the chance, you have to thank him. Come and sit down!"
Li Haoran took the Qingzhu stool, sat down next to Lu Xiyu, looked at the small stove in front of him and asked, "What are you doing with Senior Sister?"
Lu Xiyu shot a fire fair into the stove again and said, "Make a soup for you. Many medicinal materials and animal bones are added here, which can strengthen muscles and bones, expand meridians and cut veins. It is very suitable for drinking in the realm of body tempering. Because the master said that using rootless fire is better to boil it, I used fireball techniques to boil it here."
Li Haoran said: "That's really a troublesome senior sister. Is there anything I can help?"
Lu Xiyu thought for a while and said, "It will take a while to get it done. You can talk to me here."
Li Haoran naturally would not object, so he talked about the things he encountered in his cultivation and asked some things, and Lu Xiyu also answered them one by one. Only then did Li Haoran understand a lot of things.
It turns out that the places where practice in the Five Elements Valley are divided into five mysterious realms: gold, wood, water, fire and earth. Each mysterious realm is divided into three areas: A, B, and C, and there are also five element caves leading to by all the mysterious realms. The concentration of spiritual energy in the cultivation areas increases in sequence from C, B, and A to the Five Elements Caves, and the higher the concentration of spiritual energy, the more you will achieve twice the result with half the effort when practicing.
Each Xuan Realm will send people to different cultivation areas according to the level of cultivation. Those who are at the beginning of cultivation will enter Area C. After refining one hundred acupoints, they will enter Area B, then two hundred acupoints enter Area A, and finally three hundred acupoints enter the Five Elements Cave to practice.
The resource jade tags are divided into two types: A and B. The people you use can be transferred to the corresponding area, so that the practitioners can start higher than others from the beginning. However, this resource jade tag requires various resources to be exchanged, so the disciples who have just joined the Canglan Sect rarely use it. After all, the resources required by the Canglan Sect are not ordinary things, but require heavenly and earth treasures that are useful for cultivation.
Then Li Haoran talked about meeting Yuhe in the Five Elements Valley. Lu Xiyu was very happy that Li Haoran met new friends so quickly. After asking, he talked about the selection of disciples in the sect.
The Canglan Sect accepts disciples once every fifty years. From those who come to visit Canglan Sect, they select high-quality people to be sent to the Five Elements Valley for practice. Then, after these people practice the body tempering method, they successfully break through to the Tongxuan realm, and the Six Peaks of Canglan Sect or some elders will choose satisfactory people to join the sect.
The mountain breeze blows gently, and the clouds and mists are curling. In this small courtyard with green mountains and green waters, time passes quietly by the soft sounds and the faint fragrance of the medicinal soup.
"This soup should be ready." Lu Xiyu's nose moved slightly, and she said intoxicatedly as she smelled the smell from the clay pot in front of her.
"Ah? It'll be fine so soon." Li Haoran said with a slight regret.
Just now, sitting in this yard listening to the whispers of senior sister Lu Xiyu and blowing the mountain breeze with a fragrance, I felt my mood was empty and my whole body was relaxed.
It seems that I have forgotten all my worries and trivial matters, and my thoughts have become slow, but with the breeze and white clouds, the whispers gently float away without leaving any trace.
Lu Xiyu picked up the bamboo spoon and gently uncovered the lid of the pottery jar. After the green smoke drifted with the mountain wind, he took a spoonful of milky white soup and placed it beside his mouth and blew it gently. He used his other hand to stroke the love threads scattered on his face and drank the soup into his mouth.
"It's delicious." Lu Xiyu exclaimed with a look of aftertaste.
Looking at Lu Xiyu's happy look, Li Haoran felt that his tense nerves had been relaxed. He felt extremely happy in his heart, as if something was put on his shoulders, and some shackles fell off his body.
It is precisely because the past is unforgettable that the present ones should be cherished more.
Lu Xiyu took Li Haoran to the dining room, then took out a pot of Baihua wine and put it on the table and said, "This soup tastes better with Baihua wine. You drink it first, I'll prepare supper."
Li Haoran said: "Thank you, senior sister."
Lu Xiyu smiled and tapped Li Haoran's head gently and said, "What are you doing so polite to senior sister? I will deal with you well again next time."
Li Haoran touched his head and smiled warmly in his heart. Lu Xiyu waved his hands at his silly smile and went to the kitchen.
Li Haoran first filled the wine glass in front of him, then picked up the spoon in the soup bowl and put a spoonful of milky white soup into his mouth.
Warm fragrance in the mouth, a stream of heat flows straight into the dantian from the mouth, and then spreads from the meridians to the whole body. A trace of pain appears like a needle prick in the meridians.
Li Haoran frowned slightly, then picked up the wine glass and drank the hundred flowers in the cup in one gulp.
The scent of the wine smelled strongly, but the entrance was a little light. Only a clear breath spread in the mouth, and then the mind was slightly cool, and the person seemed to be much clearer. As the wine was swallowed, the pain in the body was also relieved.
Li Haoran felt a little magical and drank slowly like this.
After Li Haoran finished drinking the soup and Lu Xiyu had just finished preparing the supper, he called Su Yun to have dinner together.
The breeze blew, and the bamboo shadows shook lightly. The wisps of blue smoke in the incense burner gradually dissipated in the stroke, leaving only a faint fragrance in the room. The candlesticks shrouded in the lampshade next to them emitted a cold light, illuminating the slightly dim room.
Yunhan Peak is surrounded by clouds and mist all year round, so the sky is darker than other peaks. After the three of them on Yunhan Peak had dinner, Su Yun brought two disciples to his room to light the candlesticks.
After the three of them sat down, Su Yun asked directly: "Haoran, do you have any doubts about practicing in the Five Elements Valley today?"
Li Haoran thought for a while and said, "I have refined the human orifice, and then my thinking seems to have reached a void. There seems to be a hole in the void in front of me that I have refined myself lit up like stars."
"Ah! Is there such a thing? Why didn't this happen when I was practicing?" Lu Xiyu looked at Su Yun in surprise and said, "Master, what's going on with junior brother?"
Su Yun gently clasped the table with her slender fingers and thought, "There are only two possible situations. One is that she has extraordinary talent and extraordinary physique. She showed differences from the beginning of her cultivation, and she achieved twice the result with half the effort. The other is that she used some kind of treasure to assist in cultivation, which can give the practitioner some guidance and insights. However, your physical master and I have seen it, so this situation should not happen. Then it should belong to the latter. According to your description, this should also be helpful in the body tempering realm, but it affects the soul. Then it can only be achieved through Tongxuan or Shenyou."
Li Haoran was a little confused when he heard this. He thought this was a normal phenomenon. Now he just said it as a normal report. He didn't expect to get such an answer. After thinking about it, he said, "I don't remember what treasure I used."
"That's where your luck lies. If you don't force it, the treasure will fall from the sky." Su Yun smiled. Her smile was gentle, like the spring breeze.
Lu Xiyu held his chin and pouted slightly, "Why didn't I get such a treasure?"
Su Yun, who knew Lu Xiyu's temperament, said: "Your lazy personality is the same if you don't get treasures."
"I can definitely work hard to practice," Lu Xiyu said loudly, but looked up at the gaze of Su Yun and Li Haoran and lowered his head slightly, and his voice gradually became smaller: "That, maybe, probably, it can."
Both of them laughed at Lu Xiyu's embarrassing look.
Su Yun said to Li Haoran seriously: "Xiyu is like this innate nature. If you force her to be too nervous during the practice of Taoism, it will have a counterproductive effect. However, the practice of Taoism, talent, opportunity, and diligence are all indispensable. Although you are now helped by treasures, if you want to go further on the path of Taoism, you should not slack off."
Li Haoran had his own goal in his heart, so he naturally would not slacken. He sat upright and replied, "Disciple knows."
Su Yun looked at Li Haoran's serious look and was a little happy, but she was a little confused, but she still smiled and said, "Okay, come and ask me if you have any doubts in cultivation. Let's just do this today."
"Disciple leaves." Lu Xiyu and Li Haoran bowed to Su Yun and left the room.
Walking out of the courtyard, Li Haoran said to Lu Xiyu: "Senior Sister, I'll take you back."
Lu Xiyu looked around. Only the faint lights flashed in the dark on Caixia Peak in the distance, while the road to his yard was dark under the clouds and mist.
Lu Xiyu felt a little scary after all, so she had to say, "I thank you so much for my junior brother."
Li Haoran smiled and said, "Senior sister is so serious, let's go." As he said that, he walked towards Lu Xiyu's courtyard first.
Lu Xiyu hurriedly followed, reached out and popped up two balls of fire floating beside Li Haoran, illuminating the road ahead.
Li Haoran looked at the fireball floating beside him, emitting a fiery red light and enviously said: "Senior sister is so amazing. She can actually control this fireball so well."
Lu Xiyu followed Li Haoran carefully, thought for a while and said, "Junior brother, you can practice Taoism after you have finished your body tempering and enter the Tongxuan realm. At that time, you will naturally learn this fireball technique very quickly."
Li Haoran said in surprise: "But I don't know how long it will take to cultivate to the Tongxuan realm!"
Lu Xiyu comforted: "Junior brother, you should work so hard, you should be very quick."
Li Haoran replied, "Hope." As he said that, he had already arrived outside Lu Xiyu's courtyard.
There was a strong fragrance of flowers in the night wind. Li Haoran turned to Lu Xiyu and said, "Senior sister, it has arrived. I'll go back first."
Lu Xiyu walked into the courtyard, and his expression relaxed a little, and said, "I'll get you a lantern later."
Li Haoran waved his hand and said, "It's not too far, no need." As he said that, he gave a gift to Lu Xiyu and walked towards his yard.
Lu Xiyu looked at Li Haoran who was gradually hiding into the night and had to wave his hand and then return to the house.
Walking slowly in the darkness, beside you is the faint whistling sound of the wind in the distant mountains and the sound of the wind blowing through the plants and trees, and there are faint dark gray clouds and mists swelling in front of you.
The environment was a bit depressing, but Li Haoran's steps were very happy.
A faint light came from the darkness ahead.
It is the light of the nebula grass planted by the senior sister.
Li Haoran smiled slightly and quickly walked into the yard.
Walking into the yard, Li Haoran watched the springs flowing in the yard, the light flowing among the flowers and plants, and the cottage stood quietly in the darkness. Everything seemed like Lu Xiyu came for the first time. However, Li Haoran's mood was completely different.
Li Haoran looked up at the dim sky and whispered: "Dad, mom. Don't worry, I'm living a good life, my master and senior sister are both very good to me. I finally started practicing today. Don't worry, I will definitely work hard, and I will go back soon."
The sound was soft and firm, dissipating between heaven and earth with the night wind.
