A moment later, Xu Chen landed and saw Master Xuanhe standing in the small courtyard holding a fly whisk. He quickly put away his sword and saluted: "Master, this disciple has just succeeded in building the foundation, and I haven't had time to come and report."
Master Xuanhe nodded with a kind face and said with a smile: "Disciple, there is no need to be polite. The Supreme Elder and I have already seen you when you were building the foundation. I am actually very happy that you can achieve what you have today."
Xu Chen suddenly blushed, lowered his head and murmured: "Master, it's not that this disciple is hiding it, but in fact, I don't know what happened. Master, please forgive me!"
Master Xuanhe laughed and said: "None of this is important. The important thing is to achieve success in learning. Xiuxian asked, although qualifications are important, opportunity is more important. Don't think too much about other things. You won't interfere as a teacher. So,
You have to train hard and strive to form elixirs as soon as possible. This way, it is not in vain that I accepted you into the mountain gate and embarked on this path of pure cultivation and hardship. But you must remember that no matter how good the opportunity is, you cannot act arbitrarily and you must always be cautious.
Keep your Taoist heart and never lose your true nature."
"Yes!" Master Xuanhe nodded with satisfaction, and then said: "Your seventh senior sister is concerned about what happened back then. She is unwilling to not go there, and I can't stop it as a teacher. Let her go.
If the Taoist heart is not smooth, the road will not be smooth sailing. I hope she can gain something from her visit. I have called you here just to say this. You don’t need to worry too much. The ancient city of Yelang is on the border of Southern Xinjiang and Shu Kingdom.
, it is not a very dangerous place. You have practiced hard in the mountains recently to stabilize your state, so as not to have a weak foundation in the future."
"Yes, disciple, I obey!" Xu Chen could only agree.
"Then you go first. You should also worry more about the affairs of Danyuan on weekdays. There are two large formations and several properties in the outer gate. You can go and have a look when you have time. After all, Taiyuan Gate is different from the past. The family business is different.
You are also much older, and you senior brothers and sisters are not hard-working people. I hope you can take on more responsibilities in the future."
Xu Chen didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but he could only accept the order respectfully, then said goodbye and left.
"Master is going to catch a sheep and pluck it up. I just came back and I haven't even had a sip of hot water yet!"
Xu Chen was indignant but helpless. He turned around and walked a few steps towards the Danyuan. He saw the ninth senior brother approaching with a sword like a dog. When he landed, he grabbed Xu Chen's arm and asked anxiously: "Is it the seventh senior sister?"
Want to go to Yelang Ancient City?”
Xu Chen nodded and said: "Yes, the leader just called me to talk about this matter."
Ninth Senior Brother let go of his hand in a daze and said: "Senior Sister Seventh has a heartache that is hard to get rid of. She still can't let it go after all these years. No, I have to tell Senior Brother about this."
Xu Chen said in surprise: "Why tell Senior Brother?"
Brother Ninth suddenly looked strange and said, "You don't know?"
Xu Chen said: "What do I know?"
Ninth Senior Brother smiled bitterly and said: "It seems that you are really picking up shit and stupid things. Senior Brother has always liked Seventh Senior Sister!"
Xu Chen was shocked and said: "There is such a thing. Is it possible that senior brother is dizzy..."
But at this point, Xu Chen quickly covered his mouth, looked around and whispered: "Seventh senior sister is so angry, and senior brother is so stupid, the two of them are obviously not compatible!"
Senior Brother Ninth glanced at him with a strange look on his face and said, "It's not you who has the final say whether they match or not. Haven't you heard of a crooked pot matching a flat stove?
Xu Chen immediately pointed at the ninth senior brother and said: "Okay, it turns out you like to arrange senior brothers and sisters behind your back."
The Ninth Senior Brother's face suddenly turned black and he said: "What are you talking about? Be careful of getting beaten. I just saw that the Seventh Senior Sister has left, and I don't know what elixir she took from the Alchemy Hall. You'd better hurry up and take a look. Don't do it."
Even the warehouse has been moved, I’ll go tell Senior Brother first!”
With that said, the Ninth Senior Brother rose into the air and flew away.
Xu Chen scratched the back of his head and hurried to the alchemy courtyard. He only saw Su Zhao rushing back and forth among the elixirs all over the floor. He began to pile up the extremely messy spiritual herbs and elixirs on the ground. At this time, many of them had been sorted and stacked separately. It seemed that
A lot tidier.
"Uncle Xu!" Seeing Xu Chen come in, Su Zhao quickly saluted.
"Well, you go ahead and get busy, I'll go take a look at the warehouse!" Xu Chen waved his hand.
Su Zhao quickly handed over a jade slip and said: "Uncle Xu, the seventh aunt left a jade slip before she left, saying it was a record of the elixir she had taken!"
Xu Chen quickly took it and took a look with his spiritual consciousness. His face suddenly trembled wildly. He quickly walked into the warehouse and found that many of the spiritual boxes on the shelves had been opened and the pills inside were empty.
Obviously, the seventh senior sister left after robbing the alchemy hall.
This is in line with the consistent barbaric style of the disciples of the Taiyuan Sect. Wherever they go, they leave no grass behind and nothing they can take is left behind.
In addition, Xu Chen could also feel the Seventh Senior Sister's determination to go down the mountain this time. She was afraid that she had a death wish and would not give up until she achieved her goal.
Although he had never heard anything from his senior brothers and sisters about the relationship between Fourth Senior Brother and Seventh Senior Sister, and he had never heard the details of the encounter between the two, even Yelang Ancient City was his first time.
He heard that, but this did not prevent him from seeing the impact of this incident on the Seventh Senior Sister through such a simple behavior as her.
Although the feelings between Taiyuanmen brothers and sisters are deep, there is no need for words or communication to help each other between life and death.
But the relationship between the Seventh Senior Sister and the Fourth Senior Brother is probably far beyond that between brothers and sisters in the same sect.
However, the fourth senior brother has been missing for so long, and the stupid elder brother has not yet broken through the seventh senior sister's emotional defense. This not only shows that the elder brother is stupid enough, but also shows that the seventh senior sister has never forgotten the fourth senior brother.
This is also the reason why Master Xuanhe chose not to stop him.
If those who are cultivating immortality are too entangled in the relationship between men and women, it will be extremely detrimental to the condensation of the mind. The higher the cultivation level, the more these defects in the mind will become more and more serious, until when the level is broken, distracting thoughts will appear, and the Taoist heart will be lost.
Falling short of success.
As the saying goes, heart problems require heart medicine. Qu Mei's heart problems still need to be solved by herself. Outsiders cannot help. If she cannot break through this emotional barrier by herself, her future cultivation will become extremely difficult.
Compared with the simple feelings between the brothers and sisters of the Taiyuan Sect, the friendship between the disciples of the Yuqing Palace is much indifferent. Even if they find Tao partners for each other, they are all utilitarian and rushing to improve.
Leave for cultivation or grab resources.
When feelings are no longer pure, care will naturally no longer matter, so there will be less such flaws in one's character, and cultivation will be smoother.
Perhaps this is also the reason why large-scale immortal sects are stronger!
Xu Chen slowly figured it out, but always felt that something was not quite right.
He is now ignorant about the relationship between men and women, and has no idea about the affairs between men and women. He is still in the second grade of an ordinary young monk. He is more interested in practicing, refining alchemy, refining weapons, hunting monsters, hunting monsters, and even farming. For women, on the contrary
It doesn't matter, at most I feel a little shy and confused when talking about these things.
Just when he came out of the warehouse, the spiritual consciousness of the senior brother suddenly sounded in his ears: "Junior brother, I am going down the mountain. The weapon refining hall will take some time to help me take care of it. I will help you refine the formation disk when I come back.
.”
Xu Chen:……
But then he breathed a sigh of relief. Senior Brother is now in the late stage of the True Yuan Realm and is already relatively powerful in the Immortal Realm. With him accompanying the Seventh Senior Sister, the safety is expected to increase a lot.
…
In the days that followed, Xu Chen's life slowly returned to a relatively peaceful state.
However, it is already a delusion to imagine that I can stay in the cabin every day to meditate and practice leisurely like before, and take Fox Xiaobai to visit the medicine garden when I have nothing to do.
The third elder left the Alchemy Hall to him to take care of, and the senior brother also left the Qi Hall to him to help take care of it. In addition, he is also an outer elder. The entrances of several monk gathering places built in Yelang Valley and down the mountain need to be inspected regularly. This
It gave him a painful feeling of being overwhelmed.
Fortunately, there are a group of senior brothers and sisters who are also assigned their own tasks. After a few days, they slowly sorted things out, and the hectic situation gradually improved a lot.
Because the Seventh Senior Sister had taken away almost most of the elixirs used daily, especially the Qi-tonifying elixirs, Xu Chen had to work hard to refine a batch of elixirs for storage. As for the weapon hall, he was not familiar with refining weapons.
, so I basically had to leave it alone, and recruited two disciples from the outer sect who had some knowledge of weapon refining to learn and take care of it at the same time. There was basically no chance of refining magic weapons, but at least it was not completely chaotic.
More than ten days passed in a blink of an eye.
Xu Chen meditated at night to stabilize his state, made alchemy during the day, and burned various elixirs, squares, formations, magic talismans and other jade slips he had learned from the Yuqing Temple in his free time. His life gradually entered an orderly state.
With the success of his foundation building, his soul became much stronger again. Just like the divine consciousness in the early stage of the Danyuan realm made him more handy when refining elixirs. In the past, when refining Dayuan Dan or Qi Gathering Dan, most of the elixirs were the same.
The same refining process was done separately, but now, regardless of the first-grade or second-grade elixir, he could almost put the elixir into the furnace at the same time and refine it successfully at once, and the abundant vitality also ensured the success rate of the elixir, and he almost never failed.
In the past, it took him half a day to refine a furnace of Dayuan Dan, but now he can do it in almost an hour. Therefore, as long as he is not lazy, he can refine seven or eight furnaces in one day.
The second-grade Juyuan Dan used to take at least a day, but now he has reduced it to half a day.
Most of the disciples recruited by the outer sect to work as cows and horses are mostly in the early and middle stages of the Kaiyuan realm, and less in the later stages. Therefore, the spiritual elixirs are mainly Xiao Yuan Dan and Great Yuan Dan.
Xu Chen is no longer too lazy to practice Xiaoyuan Dan. There is still a lot of it in the warehouse. Senior Sister Seven doesn't like this low-end elixir, so she still has dozens of bottles, which can last for a while.
However, he still captured the Ninth Senior Brother as a coolie. After all, there was an order from the leader Xuan He Zhenren, and the Ninth Senior Brother did not dare to shirk. In addition, with his current True Yuan Realm cultivation and a large number of worthless spiritual herbs and elixirs,
Therefore, over a period of time, the success rate of alchemy has reached 70% to 80%.
Therefore, with the two brothers working as firemen all day long and forgetting to eat and sleep, the amount of ordinary elixirs in the Alchemy Academy's warehouse was soon replenished, and Xu Chen had more time to do his own things.
