After Mu Xuelan and Yao Xiangxuan heard about the return of Taoist Tianbao, they immediately took the initiative to find him.
"Xuelan, you came just in time!"
Tianbao Taoist's face was filled with joy as soon as he saw Mu Xuelan.
During this period of time, he has gained many new insights, but he has been outside carrying out the tasks assigned by Master Lin Xian and has been unable to come back.
Therefore, Mu Xuelan could not be asked to help verify it.
Now that he is back, the first thing he should do is to quickly let Mu Xuelan verify his ideas.
Originally, he was planning to go find Mu Xuelan by himself, but he never thought that Mu Xuelan would be the first to find him.
This is just right and saves a lot of trouble.
"Master, do you have a problem with me?"
Mu Xuelan asked as she led Yao Xiangxuan through the door.
From Taoist Tianbao's words, she instantly heard the deeper meaning of Taoist Tianbao.
There must be new ideas that I want her to help verify.
"That's right, come here quickly."
Taoist Tianbao greeted.
Mu Xuelan took Yao Xiangxuan and sat down in front of Taoist Tianbao.
After the two of them sat cross-legged, Taoist Tianbao said, "Xuelan, please tell me about your cultivation situation during this period. Xiangxuan, you too."
If he wants Mu Xuelan to help verify his ideas, he must first understand her cultivation progress.
The same is true for Yao Xiangxuan.
"Um."
Mu Xuelan agreed, and then began to describe her cultivation experience during this period.
Taoist Tianbao listened carefully and thought seriously while listening.
As he listened, Taoist Tianbao showed a surprised smile on his face.
Mu Xuelan's cultivation aptitude is truly incredible, and she has made great progress in a short period of time.
Moreover, during the cultivation process, Mu Xuelan also verified some of the cultivation methods he had previously imagined, giving him the much-needed results.
"Okay, okay! Xuelan, you did a great job!"
Taoist Tianbao praised him repeatedly.
With the help of a cultivation genius like Mu Xuelan, all the improvement plans he imagined would have the possibility of success.
This made him unhappy.
Tianbao Taoist smiled and turned to look at Yao Xiangxuan and said: "Xiangxuan, now you can talk about your cultivation situation."
"Yes, Master!"
Yao Xiangxuan agreed, and then began to describe her experience during this period.
However, before she said a few words, Taoist Tianbao couldn't help but frown.
Because he found that the progress on Yao Xiangxuan's side was extremely slow, it could be said that there was no progress at all.
She is even stuck in the initial stage of cultivation and has not really started yet.
"Why……"
Taoist Tianbao sighed.
Seeing this, Yao Xiangxuan hurriedly asked: "Master, is there something wrong with my practice?"
She has made no progress in her practice during this period, and she is very anxious.
She also consulted Mu Xuelan many times for this purpose.
It's a pity that Mu Xuelan couldn't find a solution, so she could only comfort her and ask her to wait for the master to come back.
Now Taoist Tianbao is back, but after hearing her words, he immediately sighed.
It can be seen that there must be many problems with her practice.
"It's not your problem, it's my problem."
Taoist Tianbao denied it.
"Yeah?"
When Yao Xiangxuan heard this, her high-hanging heart instantly relaxed.
Since it's not her problem, it's okay.
She was afraid that she had not understood what her master taught her, or that her qualifications were too poor and she was not suitable for cultivation.
That would be a big trouble.
After staying here for this period of time and seeing the vast magical powers of his fellow disciples, Yao Xiangxuan has become very interested in cultivation.
She also wants to master the power beyond the ordinary like other disciples.
"The cultivation method I taught you is wrong. I will teach you another cultivation method first."
Tianbao Taoist said.
At that time, he left Longning Temple in a hurry. The cultivation method he taught Yao Xiangxuan before leaving was the improved method, which was also the method Mu Xuelan was practicing.
His idea at the time was that since Yao Xiangxuan had never practiced fruit cultivation, he would simply ask her to help verify some ideas.
At that time, combined with the feedback given by Mu Xuelan, the technique can be better improved.
But now it seems that he is overthinking it.
Because he found that with Yao Xiangxuan's qualifications, there was no way he could help him verify his ideas.
Disciples like this can only practice traditional methods honestly and cannot find new ways.
"It seems that only a talented disciple like Xuelan can help me verify my conjecture."
Taoist Tianbao sighed in his heart.
With Yao Xiangxuan's experience, he will no longer have any extravagant expectations for disciples with average qualifications.
If you want to verify your ideas in the future, you can only rely on Mu Xuelan or recruit one or two more talented disciples.
But there are very few geniuses in this world, so the latter idea is basically a fantasy.
I guess I will have to rely on Mu Xuelan for a long time.
"Master, please speak."
When Yao Xiangxuan saw that Taoist Tianbao said he wanted to teach her another set of exercises, she immediately asked with great interest.
Now she only wants to cultivate immortality. As long as she can cultivate immortality, any kind of technique will do.
"Listen carefully. I will tell you the basic formula first. You can practice it for a while and see the effect."
Tianbao Taoist said.
"Um!"
Yao Xiangxuan nodded heavily.
Taoist Tianbao stopped talking and began to explain the basic formulas in detail.
After about half an hour, he finished explaining the entire set of basic formulas.
During this period, Yao Xiangxuan listened very carefully.
"Do you understand?"
Tianbao Taoist asked.
"Understood."
Yao Xiangxuan nodded heavily again.
This time the exercises taught to her by Taoist Tianbao were much simpler than last time. In addition, she had been exposed to them during this period and had some thoughts of her own, so she understood them completely after just listening once.
"Okay, then you can practice first."
Taoist Tianbao nodded towards Yao Xiangxuan, then turned to look at Mu Xuelan.
The next thing is business for him.
He couldn't wait to tell Mu Xuelan what he had envisioned during this period.
"Master, please speak."
Mu Xuelan Huizhi Lanxin instantly understood what Taoist Tianbao was thinking.
Taoist Tianbao nodded and began to talk about his insights on cultivation during this period.
Mu Xuelan listened very carefully, thinking carefully while listening.
Yao Xiangxuan on the side also listened for a while.
But she soon discovered that she couldn't understand the conversation between the two.
It's like a primary school student listening to a college student learn calculus. He is completely confused.
With no other choice, Yao Xiangxuan had no choice but to step aside and start trying to practice the basic formula that Taoist Tianbao just taught her.
Before I knew it, it was evening.
For the entire afternoon, Taoist Tianbao was exchanging cultivation experiences with Mu Xuelan.
During this period, Taoist Tianbao mainly narrated the story, and Mu Xuelan put forward some appropriate opinions.
"Hahaha, yes, Xuelan, your understanding is really amazing!"
Taoist Tianbao laughed and said.
Mu Xuelan not only understood his idea, but also actively diverged her thinking and provided some insights from another perspective.
This makes Taoist Tianbao extremely happy, because this will undoubtedly greatly speed up the progress of his improved skills.
Of course, on the other hand, Taoist Tianbao was also happy for Mu Xuelan.
Because with Mu Xuelan's qualifications, she will definitely be able to achieve advanced attainments in cultivating immortals very quickly.
"Master, have you finished speaking?"
Yao Xiangxuan saw the two stopped talking, so she came over and asked.
"Well, that's it. You and your senior sister should go back first and practice hard after you get down."
Taoist Tianbao nodded towards the two of them.
After hearing this, Mu Xuelan was about to get up and leave with Yao Xiangxuan.
But at this moment, she suddenly remembered Xiao Ning, whom she met in Longshan City.
Xiao Ning followed her and Yao Xiangxuan all day that day, and didn't stop until they returned to the mountain together.
At first, Mu Xuelan and Yao Xiangxuan didn't know that they were being followed by Xiao Ning. It wasn't until their senior brother mentioned it later that they found out that they were being followed, and that they also knew that their senior brother had secretly sent someone to protect them.
】
Thinking of this, Mu Xuelan said: "Master, Xiangxuan and I went down the mountain to play in Longshan City that day..."
She quickly described the situation at that time.
After hearing this, Taoist Tianbao couldn't help but frowned.
He never expected that when he and Taiyi were looking for Xiao Ning everywhere, Xiao Ning would actually come to Longshan City.
Calculating the time, Xiao Ning should still be injured at that time.
"Don't worry, as long as we are in this Longshan City area, Xiao Ning will not be able to hurt you even a hair."
Tianbao Taoist comforted the two of them.
With Master Lin here, Xiao Ning will never be able to hurt anyone in the Longshan City area. Taoist Tianbao is very confident about this.
Of course, what he didn't know was that even if he was far away from Longshan City, Xiao Ning would never want to hurt the people he cared about.
"Master, isn't Xiao Ning very powerful? Why are you so sure?"
When Mu Xuelan saw that Taoist Tianbao was sure, she immediately asked curiously.
Xiao Ning's strength is very strong, even his master can hardly be his opponent.
Although the senior brother sent someone to secretly protect them at that time, if Xiao Ning really had evil intentions, it would definitely be of no use.
And the master was not on the mountain at that time, so why did the master dare to say with certainty that Xiao Ning was unable to cause trouble?
"You don't need to ask. In short, as long as you don't leave the Longshan City area, you don't have to worry about Xiao Ning hurting you."
Taoist Tianbao waved his hands and said.
After hearing this, Mu Xuelan thought for a while and soon thought of the secret of the back mountain.
According to her and Yao Xiangxuan's previous speculation, Master Shizu might live in the back mountain.
So does the master’s confidence come from that great master?
Thinking of this, Mu Xuelan asked: "Master, is there another ancestor in our sect?"
"Master Patriarch?"
Taoist Tianbao was stunned for a moment by Mu Xuelan's question.
However, he didn't think that deeply and said, "The ancestor passed away a long time ago."
"ah?"
Hearing Taoist Tianbao's answer, Mu Xuelan and Yao Xiangxuan were both stunned.
The Grandmaster passed away a long time ago, does that mean their guesses were wrong?
However, a new question arises. Since Back Mountain is not the residence of the Patriarch, why does Master strictly prohibit anyone from approaching the Back Mountain?
And where does Master’s confidence come from?
"Master, I always thought that the ancestor lived in the back mountain, but I didn't expect that he had passed away."
Mu Xuelan thought for a while and said.
However, as soon as she finished speaking, Taoist Tianbao was stunned for a moment.
Because Mu Xuelan's guess was right, there was indeed a person living in the back mountain.
It's just that that person is not the founder of their sect, but Master Lin Xian whose strength is unimaginable.
Therefore, after Taoist Tianbao listened to Mu Xuelan's words, the first reaction in his mind was that Master Lin had made some big move, and the disciples in the temple saw it?
But on second thought, he quickly rejected the idea.
Because with Master Lin's strength, the disciples in the temple will never be aware of his existence.
"Xuelan, why do you think so?"
Tianbao Taoist asked curiously.
Mu Xuelan thought for a while and replied: "Because Master, you strictly prohibit anyone from approaching the back mountain, we just want to..."
Mu Xuelan quickly explained her reasoning for deducing this result.
After hearing this, Tianbao Taoist asked Yao Xiangxuan: "Xiangxuan, do you think so too?"
"Um."
Yao Xiangxuan nodded very firmly.
This guess was originally analyzed by her and Mu Xuelan together, so she naturally had the same idea as Mu Xuelan.
Taoist Tianbao took a deep look at the two of them, and then said: "Stop guessing about the things in the back mountain. Do you hear me?"
Mu Xuelan and Yao Xiangxuan looked at each other after hearing this, then nodded in unison: "Yes, Master."
"Do other disciples think about this nonsense?"
Tianbao Taoist asked.
"I don't know, probably not."
Mu Xuelan and Yao Xiangxuan replied in unison.
"Okay, you go down first."
Taoist Tianbao issued an order to expel the guests.
The two women quickly stood up and walked towards the door.
Taoist Tianbao looked at the two people's retreating figures and involuntarily touched his chin.
"These two little guys are really thoughtful."
Taoist Tianbao shook his head slightly.
He won't tell others about the back mountain, but the more he does this, the easier it will be to make people suspicious.
"Forget it, that's it."
Taoist Tianbao no longer thinks about this matter.
At the door.
Mu Xuelan and Yao Xiangxuan walked out of the house and didn't go far before their steps slowed down.
"Xuelan, judging from Master's appearance, there must be a big secret hidden in the back mountain."
Yao Xiangxuan was the first to speak.
"Um."
Mu Xuelan very much agreed with Yao Xiangxuan's words.
The secrets hidden in the back mountain are almost written on Taoist Tianbao's face, and there is nothing to guess at all.
It's just that they have no way of knowing what the secret is hidden in the back mountain.
"Xiangxuan, it's better not to think too much about the back mountain in the future, otherwise the master will definitely be angry."
Mu Xuelan thought for a while and said.
Yao Xiangxuan nodded slightly and said, "I know."
"Let's go."
Afterwards, the two of them walked quickly towards their respective residences.
In fact, they really care about the secret of the back mountain.
It's just that Taoist Tianbao has already given such instructions, so they can only give up.
…
Plains east of Cass City.
Inside the underground maze.
Xiao Ning slowly opened his eyes and came back to his senses from practicing.
As soon as he opened his eyes, he turned to look at Varuk. Seeing that Varuk was still standing there respectfully, he said, "Varuk, come here."
"yes."
Varuk agreed and walked quickly to Xiao Ning.
"What are your orders, sir?"
Xiao Ning said: "Tell me more about the lava gate."
When Varuk heard this, his thoughts were exactly as he expected. Xiao Ning had already developed a very strong interest in the Lava Gate.
