When Wen Ling'er saw the mine ahead, she felt dizzy.
She wanted to wait for Master to speak, but the young male cultivator beside her had already floated forward to greet several fellow Qi practitioners who came out.
Wen Ling'er could only bite the bullet and catch up, lowering her head and following behind Li Ping'an.
There was a middle-aged Taoist with fair face and no beard, wearing a white background dyed with ink and wide sleeves. His expression was quite excited at this time. He looked at Li Ping'an up and down and kept muttering:
"After all, you have cultivated to immortality! Hahaha!"
"It's only been three years! You actually entered the Condensing Light Realm! Just say that! I said that I was right when I saw you! Hahahaha!"
The Wanyun Sect members stationed here did not know the existence of Li Dazhi.
It can also be seen from this that Wan Yunzong does a good job in keeping secrets internally.
Li Ping'an smiled heartily: "I met some opportunities, got some care, and all the good luck came from the advice given by Master Chen that year."
"Stop chatting here!"
A Qi Refiner on the side said seriously: "Let's go and hide below first, so as not to scare off the evil cultivators."
"good."
"Ping'an, and this fellow Taoist, come down quickly! Shield your aura! We are squatting here with a group of evil cultivators!"
The voices of several people became softer when they spoke, and they called Li Ping'an and Wen Ling'er to hide in the mine.
Li Ping'an raised his head and looked into the sky...
That Manager Xiao hasn't shown up yet?
At that moment, a chuckle came from the air.
A beam of golden fairy light fell from the clouds, forming a series of stairs, like a fairy road to heaven.
The fairy figure at the end of the fairy road is graceful and charming.
Xiao Yue stepped down the stairs, staring at the Qi Refiner below and unable to take his eyes off the ordinary young man in the mine.
Li Ping'an, who was as steady as an old dog, looked up and suddenly had an idea.
This aunt, ahem, no, this elder...isn't this the kind of 'Hong Kong and Taiwan star face' that my father liked in his previous life?
Elder Xiao Yue is really charming and affectionate.
Several layers of pink and white gauze skirts made her beautiful, round and slender legs faintly visible, and her unbearable waist was like a slender willow twig.
There is nothing delicate or elegant about this immortal's face, it is just pure beauty.
She also practiced some charm skills as a minor, but as she glanced over, the qi-refiners with weak Taoist hearts were full of distracting thoughts, and all the ordinary young men were already showing signs of obsession.
Just listen to Manager Xiao speak with a smile and a slightly hoarse voice:
"You don't have to deliberately dodge. The news of the evil cultivators causing chaos was deliberately spread by this elder. It was just to make the outer trial of little friend Ping An more difficult.
"No evil cultivators came here later to cause trouble.
"If a jade is not polished, it will not become a useful tool. However, I think everything is for the safety of my little friend.
"Little friend Ping An, you won't blame me, right?"
As she spoke, she had already fallen to a height of more than ten feet; there were white clouds hanging under her skirt, so there was no risk of her being exposed.
Most of the Qi refiners of Wanyun Sect recognized Xiao Yue, and they quickly saluted: "I have met the elder!"
Li Pingan also smiled and bowed his hands.
Not only was he not annoyed, but he looked at Xiao Yue with extremely sincere eyes, and his voice was very clear.
"Before, I used to think that Elder Xiao was a villain and thought that Elder Xiao was deliberately preventing me from entering the outer gate of Wanyun Sect."
Li Pingan suddenly changed the topic...
"But I thought about it carefully. Elder Xiao has the True Immortal Dao Fruit and is in charge of many outside products in the sect. How can he embarrass me, a young disciple who has not completed the foundation building?
"There must be some misunderstanding here. The famous Elder Xiao is not such a petty person."
quiet.
Is this young disciple desperate for his life? Just start making fun of him?
The eight or nine qi masters from far and near were stunned at the same time; Elder Yan Sheng in the cloud almost choked on the dry smoke.
Wei Yanzi was also quite surprised.
Li Ping'an was always kind and calm and acted rationally. Why did he directly ridicule Elder Xiao Yue today?
Xiao Yue looked at Ningguang Xiaoxiu below with a smile, thinking secretly that it was interesting.
Li Ping'an looked up with a pair of clear eyes, with a smile on his lips.
His figure was indescribably straight at this moment;
Like pines and cypresses, like green bamboos, like stubborn rocks standing on the seaside, like a sheathed sword, spreading the spirit of young people to the sky and the earth.
"how?"
Xiao Yue said calmly:
"As an outer sect elder, why shouldn't I add some hardships to you?"
"You can."
Li Pingan continued to laugh:
"The elders give gifts and dare not refuse them. The elders torture their disciples in order to make them more tenacious and to have fewer hardships on their path.
"It's just that every time I heard my father mention Elder Xiao before, it was always words of praise and praise.
"My father often said that Elder Xiao was not only outstanding in ability, but also gentle as water, with a pure heart, elegant temperament, and extraordinary refinement.
"Now that I see him...tsk, it's quite different from what my father said.
"Elder Xiao treats a young disciple like me, who is in the Condensing Light Realm, and he only uses force to suppress the weak. It is really hard to convince the disciple."
Xiao Yue pursed her lips and frowned.
So Li Dazhi actually said this about her in private?
Li Ping'an struck while the iron was hot and added: "My father also said that among the elders of the outer sect in the sect, Elder Xiao is ranked among the top three in terms of talent and ability. It's a pity that he only met Elder Xiao twice from a distance.
It’s a pity that I couldn’t find an opportunity to make friends with Elder Xiao.”
"Thank you for your father's approval."
Xiao Yuefeng narrowed her eyes slightly and said calmly:
"You don't have to be glib and talk about your father all the time.
"Others are afraid of your father, but I don't care much, and I don't really want to embarrass you.
"In this case, I give you this thing as a reward for passing the maze. But don't let others say that I am mean and mean. It will only sharpen my disciples."
Xiao Yuesu shook her hand lightly, and a beam of fairy light fell towards Li Ping'an.
Li Ping'an moved his hands forward and just caught the brocade box. His spiritual consciousness carefully scanned it and saw that inside the brocade box was a spiritual grass that exuded a faint yellow fairy light.
Isn't this... Tianyuan mud grass?
Judging from the characteristics of this root, it must be at least five thousand years old!
This is the main ingredient for refining the Earth-Bending Pill. It is a rare medicinal material that Li Dazhi has been looking for for a long time but could not find!
For Li Ping'an, who is lacking in five elements, this is a great gift that can meet his urgent needs.
But I never thought that this great gift would come from the hands of a true immortal with the opposite stance.
this?
Mr. Xiao, what does this mean?
You deliberately sell a good deal to your father and want to hedge your bets?
Xiao Yue raised her hand and called: "Ling'er, come back. You are still too immature after all. You have been teased several times by Ping An, but it's not a big deal."
Wen Ling'er responded quickly and flew directly to her side.
The corners of Li Pingan's mouth twitched slightly.
Why did he tease me?
However, Li Ping'an didn't retort after receiving this great gift from Manager Xiao.
When he looked at the petite female cultivator, she was looking at him aggrievedly, as if she had been greatly wronged.
Li Ping'an raised the brocade box and shouted: "Thank you, elder, for the treasure!"
Xiao Yue hummed and smiled, then swept her sleeves and took Wen Ling'er into the air, flying straight towards the east.
Several qigong masters surrounded Li Ping'an again.
At this moment, except for the Taoist priest Chen Gongmin, the rest of the people looked at Li Ping'an with a little more 'Wei Yanzi's divine light' in their eyes.
…
at the same time.
Wanyun Sect, Caiyun Peak, and dozens of elegant small buildings are scattered around a pine forest.
Mu Ningning changed into comfortable training clothes and stood by the window facing the direction of the main peak, slightly lost in thought.
Brother Ping An has been away from the mountain for nearly half a month.
She didn't know what was wrong with her. She knew that Senior Brother Ping An had a special status and would definitely protect Senior Brother Ping An. However, Senior Brother just sent a letter, so logically there would be no trouble;
But whenever she thinks of Senior Brother Ping An returning to the mortal world, Mu Ningning feels depressed in her heart.
"Ning Ning, come here and teach you a lesson."
There was a soft call from behind. Zhenxian Qingcao, with her long hair disheveled and only wearing a soft tulle skirt, sat on the futon with graceful movements.
Mu Ningning bowed and saluted her master, then sat back on her futon with her lips puffed up.
Qingxu smiled and said, "Are you thinking about your senior brother Ping An again?"
"Master, don't say this."
Mu Ningning sighed:
"Is it true that no one wants to accept Senior Brother Ping An as his disciple? Although Senior Brother Ping An has ordinary qualifications, his understanding is very high. Others don't know it. Master, you know it..."
"Whether he becomes a disciple or not depends entirely on chance. His chance has not yet come."
Qingxu shook her head slightly, with a bit of fondness in her eyes, and said warmly:
"It's good that you have a close relationship with him, but Ning Ning, you need to understand one thing...
"According to rumors, his father has been listed as a candidate for the head of the sect. If he can reach Yuanxian Realm in the future, he can control the wind and rain in the sect.
"Nowadays, there are many rumors saying that you are friends with his father because you want to cling to him."
Mu Ningning hummed, "There are always those who want to talk nonsense. When I met Senior Brother Ping An, I didn't know Uncle Dazhi was so powerful."
She pursed her lips slightly, and her eyes became a little firmer.
"Master, don't worry. Disciples come to the mountains to practice in order to seek immortality. Such mundane thoughts as the love between children should not be allowed."
Qingxu smiled and said: "You are wrong, Ningning."
Mu Ningning blinked.
Qingxu's eyes became distant and she said warmly:
"For Qi practitioners, it is not only necessary to accumulate Qi, nourish the mind, forge the Tao body, and understand the Tao, but also to keep the heart clear and the thoughts clear.
“Don’t let the path of immortality overtake the ordinary path, and don’t let tomorrow take the present by the side.
"If you don't have such thoughts, why would you care?
"Just like your uncle Qingsu, she only has the Tao in her heart, and her soul is as solid as ice, because she was born outside the world of mortals and was born on this mountain.
"Ning Ning, you came from the world of mortals, how do you leave it behind? It is important to keep your thoughts clear. Don't wrong yourself, and don't be disturbed by other people's words, otherwise it will be harmful to your practice.
"Everything must be done according to one's heart."
Mu Ningning looked thoughtful.
Qingxu smiled and said:
"You and I, master and disciple, don't need to cling to anyone, but within our Wan Yun Sect, there are still some disciples who want to cling to your senior brother Ping An.
"Previously, your senior brother Ping An had been staying in Liuyun Temple and had nothing to do for the time being. But now he has entered the Palace of Everything and immediately started training in the outer sect. How can such training stop him?
"There are thousands of outer sect disciples in the sect, and there are countless prospective outer sect disciples in various towns, including many young and beautiful women...
"You have to think clearly about this."
Mu Ningning lowered his head and sighed, and whispered: "Master, I really don't have that idea right now. I just think it's best to play with Senior Brother Ping An. He has helped the disciples too much, and the disciples don't know how to repay."
"Forget it, in that case, just put aside the noise of the mortal world and concentrate on practicing with your teacher!"
"yes!"
Mu Ningning clenched her pink fist and nodded in response.
The road to immortality is long, and she cannot be left too far behind by her senior brother.
However, Mu Ningning still couldn't meditate.
'Master once said that my senior brother is probably already married in the mortal world. Without the innate Yuanyang, how can he still practice so quickly?'
'This time he went to the ordinary city where he was originally. Could it be that he... went back to see his wife?'
'Well, maybe he will take his wife back to Shanmen, and maybe he will have a child. The child may be just one year old...'
"Ning Ning, calm down."
"yes!"
…
Three days later.
In the Taoist temple near Wan'an City.
'It's really hard to drink too much.'
After swallowing a hangover elixir, Li Ping'an gradually woke up from his groggy state.
The morning light enveloped the incense burner with its remaining smoke.
Li Ping'an looked at the messy wine table and the two disheveled middle-aged Taoists lying on their backs under the table, shook his head and chuckled.
Wei Yanzi is also here.
After Xiao Yue left that day, Li Ping'an was dragged into a conversation by Taoist Chen, and made friends with several other disciples of the Wan Yun Sect who were stationed in the Linzheng Immortal Dynasty.
Li Ping'an originally wanted to leave after completing the trial task, but when Master Chen invited him, he could not refuse and went back to Taoist Temple with Master Chen to stay for two days.
In the afternoon of the day before yesterday, there were continuous fire clouds in the eastern sky, and Li Ping'an's heart palpitated for no reason.
The white cloud lingering over the Taoist temple flew out a beam of rainbow light, carrying Elder Yan Sheng's figure inside it, and shot towards the eastern sky.
Immediately afterwards, Wei Yanzi fell from the clouds and explained a few words to Li Pingan:
"The flaming cloud is the secret method used by the sect to seek help.
"In the past two days, a secret place of ancient ruins appeared on the shore of the East China Sea. Immortals from all walks of life gathered together and fought fiercely. Elder Xiao Yue had gone to support before, and now Elder Yan Sheng has also rushed over.
"Elder Yan Sheng told me before he left that you should stay here for two or three more days to avoid being involved in the dispute between the immortals.
"Generally speaking, every time a historical site is discovered, it will be evacuated by various groups of people in three to two days. There is no need to worry, as it will not delay your return to the mountain."
In this way, Li Ping'an could only stay in this small Taoist temple for a few more days.
It's quite relaxing.
Wei Yanzi did not act like a high-ranking deacon and called Chen Gongmin brothers. The three of them behaved like this for two consecutive days——
Drinking and chatting about Taoism, living happily in the mountains and forests.
While Wei Yanzi and Chen Gongmin were drunk, Li Pingan quietly left the house and floated to the eaves to meditate.
He took out a jasper ring from his arms, took out a booklet and a writing brush, opened the booklet and quickly picked up the pen, and briefly drew a portrait of Fairy Xiao Yue, followed by two comments.
[This fairy has outstanding abilities, a bit mean personality, and overall evaluation is considered a good match.]
Now I'm not sure what she wants to do. Next time we meet, I'd better praise her more with "my father said" to see if I can win her over to help my father in the future.
Li Ping'an thought so, drew three stars behind Xiao Yue's portrait, and slowly closed the page.
This booklet contains six simplified Chinese characters:
"My Father's Blind Date Plan".
Suddenly there was a slight vibration in Li Ping'an's arms. He raised his eyebrows slightly and found the source of the vibration in the storage magic weapon hanging on his inner armor.
It was the white jade talisman in the shape of a knife and coin given to him by Deacon Wang Xinhui before he left.
