Tianfu Hotel, the 19th floor that can’t be found outside.
White clouds were floating outside the floor-to-ceiling windows, and the formations inlaid on the ceiling had been extinguished.
The young talents who had completed their first practice went back to their rooms to continue their practice, trying hard to digest the immortal's instructions today.
In the practice area, two pieces of solid ice have been standing for two hours; among the two men sealed within the ice, one stared, the other with a peaceful face.
Ping!
The two pieces of solid ice suddenly exploded into an icy blue fairy light. The two victims leaned back and lay on the ground with their arms and legs spread apart.
Zhou Zheng breathed desperately, which was the body's stress response.
Xiao Sheng, who was at the peak of the Return to Ruins Realm, was also in an extremely embarrassed state. All the yellow hairs on his head that were originally standing were wilted, the big gold chain was stuck to his chest, and his eye sockets were a little red.
The ice formed by Bing Ning's magic is not real ice. Otherwise, with this degree of rapid freezing, Zhou Zheng could already directly reserve the next reincarnation service.
"I bother!"
Xiao Sheng jumped up, squeezed his eyes hard, and cursed:
"Which bastard said that the Ice Immortal has a wonderful magic! That's it? I can't use the formation to seal myself? It's useless!"
He was obviously very angry.
Zhou Zheng climbed up with some difficulty, still trying to take a deep breath; Xiao Sheng reached out to give him a hand, and his eyes were filled with the light of seeing revolutionary comrades.
"Why is the monitor also banned?"
"Me! Ha! Wait!"
Zhou Zheng waved his hand, indicating that he would take a breath first.
Xiao Sheng did have some skills. He patted Zhou Zheng on the shoulder and Zhou Zheng's breathing immediately became natural and smooth.
"Thank you," Zhou Zheng showed gratitude, and then said seriously, "Classmate Xiao... Fellow Taoist Xiao, we are all practicing with Teacher Bing Ning now. It is better to have more respect for honesty."
Xiao Sheng sneered: "My situation is different from yours. You are indeed Bing Ning's junior, and she and I are actually the same generation."
Zhou Zheng suddenly didn't know how to answer the call. He subconsciously touched his jacket pocket and was suddenly startled.
Where are the fish?
At this moment, a ray of sound penetrated into Zhou Zheng's ears:
"Ao Ying is in my room, don't worry.
"Previously, your breakthrough was too fast, which may have destabilized your realm, so I have blocked you for an hour. Cultivation is a long-term thing, so don't be impatient and greedy."
Zhou Zheng immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
"By the way, brother," Xiao Sheng wondered, "Why did your aura suddenly increase so much? Why were you banned?"
Zhou Zheng naturally didn't know which pot to open and which pot to pick up, so he said vaguely: "There is something wrong with the Taoism."
"If you have any questions, feel free to call me. I'm going to find a place to take a shower first. Bye."
Xiao Sheng waved his hand smartly and walked towards the nine dormitories in the distance.
There are only two dormitories left, the second and the third on the left. The other seven have all hung up their door numbers and activated the room's own formation.
Zhou Zheng plans to live in whichever room is left, emphasizing his willingness to be content with the situation.
Go pick up Ao Ying first, lest she collide with the immortal.
He walked towards the direction where Bing Ning's voice alerted him, turned around several screens, walked through the 'corridor' made of green plants and concrete load-bearing columns, and successfully found the 'faculty and staff dormitory'.
The door opened on its own, revealing the spacious, antique-style suite inside.
Zhou Zheng had only seen the style of furniture here in costume TV dramas before the disaster - a canopy bed with curtains, an Arhat bed with a chessboard in the middle, round stools and round tables painted with vermilion paint, and the carpet embroidered with cranes was spotless.
Zhou Zheng walked inside and closed the door behind him.
"Instructor? Teacher Bing Ning?"
Zhou Zheng called out a few times, but received no response from Bing Ning.
He faintly heard the sound of hot oil being stir-fried, so he followed the sound forward, passing by the clean and bright bathroom and bathroom, and arrived at the small kitchen equipped in this suite.
Zhou Zheng couldn't help but be amused by the scene in front of him.
Ao Ying was wearing a midriff-baring top, denim shorts, and a chef's hat on her head. She was sitting on the edge of the sink, her white and clean feet dangling back and forth.
Bing Ning was still wearing the plain white dress, holding the spatula in her right hand and the iron pot with her left hand, constantly mixing the ingredients in the pot.
Ao Ying looked at Zhou Zheng and said with a smile: "It's hard work practicing!"
Zhou Zheng smiled and shook his head, leaning against the door with his hands behind his hands, watching Fairy Bing Ning working there.
Bing Ning picked up a chopstick, dipped some vegetable soup into her mouth and sucked it lightly, frowning and said: "You mixed all the seasonings, why does it still taste wrong?"
Taste? The taste of the sea? Zhou Zheng’s eyes were full of curiosity.
Ao Ying said seriously: "Only by being emotionally invested in the ingredients can you understand the true way of cooking; a beginner like Xianzi still has a long way to go."
Zhou Zheng almost laughed out loud.
What is emotional investment is that the heat and the timing of adding seasonings are not grasped well.
Bing Ning looked at the dishes in the pot and fell into deep thought, then glanced at Zhou Zheng from the corner of her eye.
At noon that day, Zhou Zheng had a sumptuous and luxurious lunch.
I almost had stomach problems after eating more than a dozen dishes in one meal!
Two hours later...
Zhou Zheng returned to the remaining dormitory with his bulging belly, locked the door, and the room's formation automatically opened.
"Okay! There is an isolation formation here! I don't need to hide anymore!"
Ao Ying showed her human form and jumped onto the big bed, rolling around happily.
Each student dormitory has the same configuration, with two rooms inside and one outside. All kinds of bathroom supplies are available. The most rare thing is that there is a large bathtub. The living environment can be said to be quite comfortable.
Ao Ying hugged the soft quilt, smiled at Zhou Zheng, and patted the pillow beside her.
Zhou Zheng raised his hand to express his refusal and silently recited her age in this life several times to avoid making any mistakes.
"I'm going to sleep on the sofa outside for a while. I can't hold on any longer."
Zhou Zheng yawned, with a strong sense of tiredness on his face, and turned around and walked back outside.
Ao Ying immediately turned over: "Zhou, come and sleep inside. I still like soaking in the water the most!"
"I can sleep on the sofa. You should also rest. I'm so tired..."
Zhou Zheng responded vaguely and started snoring as soon as he lay down.
For monks who are just starting out, practicing for a long time is very energy-consuming, not to mention that Zhou Zheng has continuously broken through the third level.
Ao Ying pinched her waist and looked at Zhou Zheng, then waved her fist at Zhou Zheng.
She leaned over to help Zhou Zheng take off his shoes and socks, used her magic power to lift Zhou Zheng, and carefully carried him to the bed.
Not long after, Zhou Zheng, covered with a thin quilt, fell into a deep sleep with the cool breeze of the air conditioner.
Ao Ying found two suitcases in the storage magic weapon and began to place their luggage and daily necessities.
"Daosheng Xuanyi..."
"Um?"
Ao Ying turned her head and glanced at the big bed. Seeing Zhou Zheng reciting scriptures while talking in his sleep, she couldn't help but smile and secretly took a few photos.
After a while, the room was restored to cleanliness. Ao Ying filled the bathtub with water, turned into a small fish and sank into it, letting out a few soft moans of comfort.
She has not yet transformed into a dragon, so she will inevitably be somewhat dependent on water.
…
In the large suite where the immortal instructor lives.
Bing Ning left the kitchen with a plate of fried bean sprouts, a satisfied smile on her lips.
Although it was just ordinary bean sprouts, Bing Ning took out a pot of fairy brew quite solemnly and prepared to have a few drinks.
Immortal consciousness swept over it, and everything within a radius of hundreds of miles returned to the bottom of her heart.
Bing Ning just made a routine inspection, then placed her immortal knowledge on the nine dormitories on the same floor, and carefully observed these nine students.
The separate formation in the room can indeed block outside detection, but at best it can only block the immortal consciousness of the true fairyland, and cannot stop the ice fairy.
Seven of the nine people are practicing - Li Zhiyong and six young Kundao people.
Li Zhiyong was sitting cross-legged on the sofa meditating, and he didn't look anything strange.
Bing Ning looked at him a few more times, with thoughts in her eyes.
The six female students each have different practice habits.
Two of them were unremarkable, just sitting in silence while burning incense; two wore only small clothes and seemed not to like restraint; one Kun Dao sat in a bathtub and soaked in water to practice. The water was mixed with spices that can purify spiritual energy.
There is also a female student sitting on the toilet, neatly dressed and with a serious face. It seems that only in this special position can she have more inspiration and insights.
Bing Ning is already familiar with this.
She cast her eyes towards Xiao Sheng and quickly frowned.
Xiao Sheng got a disc player from somewhere, set up a simple light ball, and arranged a two-layer soundproof array. He was playing disc with headphones on there, and made strange screams from time to time.
This guy has probably reached the highest level of self-entertainment!
Bing Ning shook her head speechlessly and moved her gaze to the dormitory next door, where she saw the small fish swimming in the fish tank and Zhou Zheng who was sleeping.
'Who was he in his previous life?'
Bing Ning stared at Zhou Zheng for a while, and couldn't help but have the idea of asking some friends from the underworld to check the book of life and death, but then dismissed the idea.
It just adds to the annoyance.
He took a bite of the fried bean sprouts he made and took a sip of the Yaochi wine that had been stored for hundreds of years; Bing Ning was content with himself, and there were two more blushes on Qishang Aoxue's face.
It's a pity that no one appreciates such beautiful scenery.
She hummed a tune that had been popular in Guanghan Palace, held a jade talisman in her hand, and began to record today's teaching results.
[On the seventh day of the fourth month of the Year of Jiazi, a new class was opened to introduce the Nine Cultivators, and Zhou Zheng broke through to the fourth level of body training. 】
…
The East China Sea is more than a thousand kilometers away from Longchen City, somewhere in a trench.
There is a cave at the bottom of the trench, and several strange and long fish float slowly and leisurely outside the cave.
There are a few more lights in the darkness.
The source of that bright light was the three jade stones placed in the shape of the word "pin" deep in the cave. At this moment, three pictures appeared on the three jade stones at the same time.
In the center is a young man with long hair and armor, sitting on a coral throne, with several beautiful and gentle clam girls kneeling beside him to serve him.
On the left side is a black shadow, the outline of which cannot be seen clearly;
On the right side is a shirtless strong man, sitting on a throne of bones, with several jade heads under his feet.
At this moment, the young man's face was full of displeasure, and the shirtless man looked a little embarrassed.
"Go down."
The young man raised his hand slightly, and the clam girls bowed their heads in salute, then turned around and floated away into the distance.
Then, the young man said coldly: "It seems that you are far from able to fulfill what you two promised me."
"Your Highness," the shirtless man grinned, "After all, things are different on land from us in the sea. Most of our men are holy spirits in the sea. Their combat power drops by more than 30% when they leave the sea. They are always beyond our reach."
The black shadow said in a loud voice: "Feng Qing only took the benefits we gave him and did not really help us put pressure on Long Chen."
"Yeah?"
The young man sneered: "Judging from this matter, the abilities of the two of you are far less than what you two boasted about. It seems that there is no need to talk more about the other cooperation we have agreed upon."
"Please, Your Highness, please be patient and calm."
The shirtless man's eyes flashed with a sharp look, and his words became a little more threatening:
"It is indeed a bit troublesome for us to travel on land, but it is not impossible.
"On the contrary, the Second Highness, you and I have decided to divide the East China Sea into three parts. It was the Second Highness who made the promise alone. Your sister's attitude is vague. Your sister is now in Longchen City.
"Could it be that the Dragon Palace wants to hold us back, secretly accumulate strength, unite with the Futian Alliance, and then start a war with my family?"
The young man's face quickly darkened.
The shirtless man didn't give in, and he looked at the young man across two pieces of jade.
Soon, His Highness the Second Highness of Blue Star Dragon Palace said:
"You don't have to interfere with Ao Ying's matter. I will let her return to the Dragon Palace within seven days at the latest.
"The Futian Alliance is nothing more than a candle in the wind, and the remnants of the Heavenly Court will never be able to survive. I will definitely repay them in full for what they have inflicted on my Dragon Clan."
"Haha, I hope so."
at the same time;
In the Crystal Palace not far from His Royal Highness's bedroom.
The beautiful woman lying on her side did not open her eyes. She only sighed softly and continued to pretend to be asleep.
