Sun Xuan's appearance was beyond Liu Qinghuan's expectation.
Yun Zheng looked at Sun Xuan curiously, then went to think about building a transcontinental teleportation circle.
At this time, the night was getting late. Liu Qinghuan invited Sun Xuan into the cave. Sun Xuan smiled and said: "Fellow Daoist Liu, I think the scenery in your cave is extremely beautiful. I wonder if I would be lucky enough to ask you to accompany me for a walk?"
Liu Qinghuan hid her surprise and made a gesture of invitation.
The two of them walked along the flowers and trees towards the lake. The moonlight was bright tonight, reflecting the silver light on the lake.
But the atmosphere was quite neither awkward nor awkward. At that time, the two of them had only met once, and they were on opposite sides. In fact, they were no different from strangers.
Sun Xuan seemed to be looking at the scenery in the garden along the way, but he was actually lost in thought. Liu Qinghuan was a little confused, but he had no choice but to accompany him and occasionally exchange a few words.
"I was rude today. I should have handed you a name card first and then paid a visit." After a while, Sun Xuan stopped by the lake and said softly: "Fellow Daoist Liu, how did you get to Dongya Yi Island?"
This is a long story. However, Liu Qinghuan was not prepared to elaborate. He just said: "A few of us suddenly encountered a disaster. When I woke up again, I found that I was already here. What about you?"
"I fainted on the back of a turtle. When I woke up, I found myself hanging on a tree on the cliff, with the rolled up sea water hitting me again and again..."
Sun Xuan began to slowly talk about some of the things he had experienced over the years.
She was seriously injured at the time, and she climbed into a cave on the cliff with all her strength. She lay down for a full month before she could move again, and spent another two or three years recovering from her injuries. After that, she walked around on Dongya Island.
, I have been to Yaori Island and also to the site of Haiyue Palace.
"...If I hadn't happened to see Fellow Daoist Liu competing with others on the stage a few days ago to try out elixirs, I wouldn't have known you were here."
Liu Qinghuan asked: "Have you not met anyone else in these years?"
Sun Xuan looked at the lake: "No."
Liu Qinghuan asked tentatively: "Well, have you ever thought about going back to Yunmengze?"
But he saw her chuckle lightly, her bright eyes looking forward but without focus. She was silent for a long time before saying, "Why are you going back? Are you going to be randomly assigned by the sect to go out and practice double cultivation with others?"
She smiled and shook her head and said: "I no longer want to be a pawn who can't help myself. On Dongya Yi Island, although I have no backer and have to rely on myself for everything, I can finally live freely."
Liu Qinghuan didn't know how to respond. In the two female cultivators' sects, Feiyue Tower and Xingyue Palace, some female cultivators would indeed be arranged to practice double cultivation with monks from other sects, which was similar to a mortal marriage.
"It is more difficult for us women to cultivate immortality than you men. With a sect, the sect will send you out as a pawn in the exchange of interests, whether you want it or not. But without a sect, walking alone outside may attract high-level monks
It is not uncommon for a woman to covet her and force her to become a furnace. What's worse, a woman is passionate and if she accidentally falls in love, her whole life will be ruined."
Sun Xuan's tone was calm, and his face was so calm that no emotion could be seen, but the sadness buried deep in his words came out from his straight back: "How many female cultivators have been ruined by just one word of love..."
"
Liu Qinghuan was shocked in her heart, and a pair of gentle but firm Shan Feng beautiful eyes appeared in front of her eyes, and she murmured: "So you refused from the beginning, didn't enter the word of love, and kept your Taoist heart?"
Sun Xuan turned around and looked at him, his eyes sharp and clear. Liu Qinghuan felt a little embarrassed and coughed to cover it up.
"All smart women are like this. The love in the world is heart-breaking. Once it is touched, you will think about it, and when you think about it, you will be confused. It is of no benefit to your practice. It is better not to use it, and it is better to throw it away."
Liu Qinghuan couldn't help but said: "This is a bit biased. There are many loving couples who have joined hands and have not hindered the path."
Sun Xuan let out a low laugh, as if he heard something funny, covered his lips and said: "Really?"
She sighed and said with a hint of loneliness: "You men, how many of you have done it after provoking the eternal sworn alliance? Why did you say it in the first place if you couldn't do it..."
This sentence was so incomprehensible that Liu Qinghuan could only remain silent. It was a very embarrassing thing to have a brief conversation with someone.
Sun Xuan had obviously gone through a lot, but Liu Qinghuan had no intention or interest in prying.
Sun Xuan was obviously aware of his gaffe, so he turned around and walked slowly along the lakeside. After gathering his emotions, he apologized: "I complained without realizing it. I'm sorry. In fact, I came to see you today because I have something to ask for."
.”
Liu Qinghuan said he didn't care: "Please speak."
She took out a storage bag and said, "I'm going to an underground volcanic mountain range in a few days. I've prepared everything else, but I can't find the Ice Soul Snow Mud Pills. That day, I saw that you were extremely good at alchemy, so I
I have collected the materials and would like to ask you to help me refine it. I know my request is a bit abrupt, but now I can’t find an alchemist who can refine this elixir, so I have no choice, so I can only shamelessly ask for it.”
After taking the Bingpo Snow Mud Pill, it can withstand the violent force of earth fire, and it will not be hurt at all when swimming in lava.
"I have never refined this elixir before, and there is no recipe for it..."
Sun Xuan handed over a jade slip: "This is the elixir prescription, and it can be used as a reward for Daoist Liu's hard work in refining it."
Liu Qinghuan thought about it, took the storage bag, and saw eight or nine ingredients inside: "Okay, let me give it a try. However, the refining difficulty of the Ice Soul Snow Mud Pill is much more difficult than that of the Star Power Pill.
It takes about a month to make one furnace, so we can’t say exactly how many pills will be made in the end.”
Sun Xuan smiled happily and said happily, "One or two pills are enough. Fellow Taoist Liu, thank you very much!"
After seeing off Sun Xuan, Liu Qinghuan stood by the lake for a long time, until the morning light showed in the east, and then returned to the house with a dewy look.
In the days that followed, while he was pondering the recipe for Bingpo Snow Niwan, he occasionally went out to meet friends, or drank tea and discussed Taoism with Jie Weichen, but most of the time he practiced behind closed doors.
His cultivation level has not improved significantly for several years, and he is still wandering on the road from the intermediate level to the advanced level in the later stage of foundation building. This is certainly because the foundation building chapter of "Zuo Forgetting Immortality Sutra" is difficult to practice, but also because he has always been
There is no reason to have time to retreat.
But now he can't rest in seclusion. He has to wait for news from Lord Zhou, and also pay attention to how Dongya Island will react to the sealing war.
Yun Zheng has often disappeared since the last time he entertained Zhou Jun. He has been busy all day long. Liu Qinghuan only knew that he was talking to An Ya about establishing a cross-continental teleportation circle through Zhou Jun.
A few months after the decision was made to build the formation, Liu Qinghuan also went there. An elder from Anya, Seven Star Alliance, and Beidou Palace each came, and they seemed to take this matter very seriously.
Anya originally did not want the Seven Star Alliance to get involved in this matter, but for some reason the alliance still found out.
The Seven Star Alliance is dominated by the Beidou Palace. Although Anya is very powerful, it cannot be bigger than the Beidou Palace. Liu Qinghuan does not know about the competition. Anyway, in the end, the entire Seven Star Alliance takes the lead.
However, Anya was not at a loss. When Yunzheng agreed to build the formation, he allowed them to send two people to attack.
It is said to be a starting point, but in fact it is to observe and imitate the master. Of course, how much you can learn depends on the understanding of those two people.
As for how to distribute the benefits between Anya and Beidou Palace, that is none of their business.
Yun Zheng said privately: "Haha, Anya originally wanted to use the teleportation circle only for their trading. What a wonderful idea! If they hadn't mastered the way to pass through the space crack zone, I wouldn't have done it in the first place.
Find them."
Liu Qinghuan suddenly realized: "So it was you who leaked the news?"
