Senior Sister Ling's question left Ni Kun speechless for a while.
Seeing her beautiful eyebrows furrowed and her eyes looking strange, Ni Kun quickly explained:
"Senior sister, I have misunderstood. I am determined to live forever, so why would I waste my essence on the demon girl? This is just a disguise for me, so as not to encounter something similar to the demon girl Zhao again."
As he spoke, he silently used his magical powers, canceled his disguise, gathered back his hidden vitality and blood, and instantly returned to his original position. His whole person instantly became heroic and majestic, giving people the feeling of a dead tree being reborn and full of vitality.
Senior Sister Ling's eyes suddenly lit up when she applied paint, and she floated around Ni Kun, exclaiming:
"It's just a disguise! Junior Brother Ni, you are so good at camouflage that even I was mistaken! Where did you learn the camouflage technique?"
Ni Kun smiled and said:
"This is a little secret from junior brother. Can senior sister allow me to keep this secret?"
Senior Sister Ling puffed up her cheeks, rolled her eyes at him, folded her hands around her chest, and hummed softly:
"Humph, who cares?"
Ni Kun saw that she didn't really look angry, but he still cooperated and begged her for mercy, and asked her again:
"Before we parted ways last time, senior sister said she wanted to go back and think about it for a while. I wonder if senior sister has thought about how to thank me for saving my life after this month."
When Senior Sister Ling heard this, she really put away her fake anger and looked at Ni Kun with a smile:
"Of course I've thought about it!"
Ni Kun looked straight:
"That being the case, senior sister, please give me your instructions. Ni Kun will go through fire and water without hesitation."
Senior Sister Ling waved her little hands and said sweetly:
"It's not that serious. You don't need to go through fire and water."
"Then what does Senior Sister want me to do?"
Senior Sister Ling snapped her fingers:
"It's very simple. When I come to see you every full moon night from now on, no matter what you are doing, you have to put down what you are doing and play with me.
"If I ask you to sing a song, you have to sing a song for me. If I ask you to dance, you have to dance for me. If I ask you to tell a story, you have to tell me a story.
"In short, no matter how many years from now on, as long as you are still in the Xianyin Sect, you will have to leave time to me every full moon night. This request does not embarrass you, right?"
"Singing songs, dancing, and telling stories? Do you reserve all the time on every full moon night for senior sister?"
Ni Kun said in surprise:
"It's not difficult. But isn't it too easy?"
"Is it too easy?"
Senior Sister Ling's lips curled up slightly and she said leisurely:
"Mu Yutong, the current headmaster of the Xianyin Sect, I don't like her. How about you help me kill her?"
"..."
Ni Kun was silent for a while and said softly:
"Senior Sister, let's sing, dance and tell stories. I wonder what Senior Sister would like to hear tonight?"
…
Senior Sister Ling’s requirements are really very low.
That night, Ni Kun actually only wanted to tell stories all night long.
Of course, this is also because Ni Kun has reserves from his previous life, has a nice voice, and is really good at telling stories, and he can tell stories in an attractive enough way.
All in all, Senior Sister Ling was relatively satisfied with Ni Kun's performance tonight.
The reason why I say "relatively" satisfied is because she was a little unhappy with the ending of the story.
"Why can't Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai live together? They have to die to transform into butterflies and fly together. How many days can a butterfly live?"
"Well, that's the story..."
"What's this? I think you clearly made up a tragic ending on purpose to trick people into crying! You have bad intentions! I don't care, the ending must be changed!"
"I really didn't make up this...story. Besides, if the ending was changed, the story wouldn't have the same flavor..."
"What, why can't it be changed? Don't you know how to add an immortal character from the game Feng Chen? You can't let that immortal give a spiritual elixir to Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai each, so that they can fake their own death and escape.
Then both of them will be resurrected, worship into the immortal gate, cultivate their magic power, and then go home to get slapped in the face? Then they will both ascend to heaven and become a pair of gods and immortals that will last forever?"
"If we change it like this, the structure of the story will be completely different, and the concept of the story will also completely change..."
"Huh, I don't care. Anyway, I like to hear happy stories. Next time, you'd better make up a story with a better ending. If you tell such an unpleasant story again, let's see how I treat you!"
After angrily leaving a threat, Senior Sister Ling turned into wisps of smoke and disappeared without a trace, leaving Ni Kun helplessly shaking his head.
…
A few days later, the thirty-six-day refining period of "Hundred Flower Pill" expired, and it was completed, which could completely solve the problem of erysipelas and drug resistance.
At this point, Ni Kun's cultivation was finally on the right track. From then on, he took an "Emerald Pill" every day, and his cultivation level increased day by day, making great strides towards the fifth level of Qi refining.
Outside of spiritual practice, his life rhythm has not changed much.
Every day during the day, he still worked diligently to serve the spiritual plants. At night, he took pills and practiced the Qingdi Sutra, studied Tao Miao Tianyin and magical powers, and went to Qingzhu Garden every seven days to give lectures on the sutras for Zhao Xiulin.
Every full moon night, I would see Senior Sister Ling.
He could sit on a tree and chat with her and look at the moon, or sit on the roof and tell her stories and sing songs to her, or he could take Zhao Xiulin's pass and hang out with her in the Lingzhi Garden.
After several contacts, the two became more and more familiar with each other, and Senior Sister Ling's address to Ni Kun became more casual.
Sometimes he is called Junior Brother Ni, sometimes he is called Ni Kun, and sometimes he is called Xiaolizi...
Every time she met Ni Kun, when she showed up, she would always use different tricks to tease Ni Kun.
Either it would suddenly pop up from the ground, or it would suddenly poke its head out from behind Ni Kun and make a cold swishing sound in his ear.
Several close contacts also made Ni Kun understand Senior Sister Ling deeper.
For example, no matter where she is, she always keeps a distance from her surroundings and never actually comes into contact with any substance.
When sitting on the branches and the roof, she seemed to be sitting, but in fact she always maintained a subtle distance from the branches and the roof, and her body and dress were actually in a suspended state.
Another example is that no matter how close the distance was, Ni Kun never felt any breath on her body.
Not to mention cultivation level, low-level monks whose realms are too far apart cannot sense the cultivation energy of high-level monks.
But the problem is that Senior Sister Ni Kunlianling cannot feel her body temperature or even her breathing.
Every time he faced her, apart from seeing her appearance and hearing her voice, Ni Kun always felt that what he was facing was pure nothingness.
The seemingly lively and agile girl in green seems to not exist in this world at all.
However, Senior Sister Ling would not take the initiative to mention her condition, and Ni Kun would not ask more questions, so as not to offend her taboo.
Just like Senior Sister Ling didn't ask about the little secret of his technique.
Two months have passed, and Ni Kun, who has taken enough control of the spiritual rice and spiritual pills, has gradually reached the fifth level of Qi refining.
…
This morning.
Ni Kun, who had finished another routine "lecture", walked out of Qingzhuyuan with empty steps, carrying a cloth bag containing only spiritual rice.
It has been nearly three months since she became Zhao Xiulin's "special furnace", and Ni Kun now looks increasingly pale and haggard.
Not only does his face look bad, his eye sockets are sunken and black, his eye bags are swollen and wrinkled, his body is also much drier and thinner than before.
Even the back is slightly rickety and no longer as straight and straight as before. A few strands of white hair are also visible on the temples.
In short, Ni Kun now seems to be a qualified Xianyin Sect furnace.
With this disguise, and the endorsement of Zhao Xiulin, who often took him alone to visit the spiritual plant garden, and "favored" him every seven days, Ni Kun was not coveted by any inner sect witch when he went to and from the house.
However, the fact that he was not targeted by the inner witch does not mean that Ni Kun can really sit back and relax from now on.
"That guy is Ni Kun?"
In the steward's courtyard, in a forest of flowers, a handsome young man in green clothes and a bamboo crown holding a folding fan looked at Ni Kun from a distance, who was walking towards the gate of the steward's courtyard, and asked lightly.
A male disciple next to him, who was dry and thin, with sparse hair, and looked like he was exhausted, replied:
"Yes, he is Ni Kun. In the past three months, Senior Sister Zhao has doted on Ni Kun, summoning him every few days, and taking Ni Kun with her every time she patrols the Lingzhi Garden.
"I heard that in order to favor Ni Kun, Senior Sister Zhao even killed two old attendants who had been with her for many years. And every time she favored Ni Kun, she would reward him with a bag of spiritual rice."
The young man with the folding fan narrowed his eyes and said coldly:
"To be able to completely eliminate his competitors... I can't believe that this kid actually has such a sharp method of fighting for favor! Our target this time is him!"
Next to him, a male disciple with a muscular build, wrinkled face and gray hair hesitated:
"Senior Brother Zhang, Ni Kun is the only one favored by Zhao Xingying. For him, Zhao Xingying even killed two old attendants, which shows how much he loves him. If we attack Ni Kun, will it anger Zhao Xingying?
Do you want her to kill us?"
The young man with the folding fan, "Senior Brother Zhang," put away the folding fan with a swipe, chuckled disapprovingly, and whispered:
"What are you afraid of? Now that Manager Han is away from Lingxiu Peak all year round, the surveillance capabilities of the Lingzhi Garden Formation are useless. As long as we do it cleanly, how will Zhao Xingxing know who did it? Besides, we are not without backers..."
The tough male disciple said again:
"But, Ni Kun only had Zhao Xingxing's special favor for three months, and yet he looked so haggard... Is there really something good in him?"
Senior Brother Zhang smiled slightly, unfolded the folding fan again and shook it, looking confident:
"He has become haggard in three months, which just shows that Zhao Zhongxing loves him. Since he has killed two attendants who have been following him for many years for him, Zhao Xingxing must be reluctant to let Ni Kun die early. I dare to conclude that besides Lingmi,
Besides, that kid must have some magic elixir in him!
"After all, although the elixir is good, it contains erysipelas. Each person can only take a limited amount within a certain period of time.
"Zhao Xingxing is rich and has a lot of spiritual stones to buy elixirs. Couldn't the extra elixirs that she can't use herself be given to Ni Kun so that he can recuperate his body and replenish his vitality?"
The sturdy male disciple and the male disciple who looked like his lamp was exhausted were immediately convinced and both praised:
