Li Ping'an looked at the huge cave in front of him, which looked like it had been blasted out by a punch, and then looked up at the cracks all over the mountain.
The cave is located in the northwest corner of the mountain gate, on the mountainside of an inconspicuous hill. There are no other immortal residences on the mountain. What you see is what you get, and it is 100% green.
In the cave, one straw mat, two square wooden tables, and three futons are all the furniture.
"Master?"
"Um?"
"Are we going to live here from now on?"
Qing Su lowered her head and hummed a few times, as if she was thinking about a more important issue. After a while, she turned to look at Li Ping'an and said seriously: "Yes."
"It's okay," Li Ping'an said with a smile, "The disciple will gradually expand this place in the future."
Qingsu pointed to the cave and said: "I will seal this place with a barrier later... Seeing that their caves have formations, I will also learn how to set up formations in the future."
Li Ping'an hurriedly said: "Master, you can concentrate on enlightenment and let the disciples do the chores. Master, why don't you open an inner cave inward? You can practice in the inner cave while the disciples are outside."
"good."
Qingsu walked into the formation cave with his hands behind his back. In front of Li Ping'an, he clenched his right fist and pushed forward slightly.
boom!
The hill trembled violently, and flocks of birds flew out of the woods everywhere;
After the shock, the cracks inside and outside the cave became more obvious, and there were many immortal consciousnesses inside the door looking towards this place.
Qing Su's slender right hand slowly pressed down, and the smoke and dust flying in the cave quickly condensed into a ball.
A brand new spherical inner hole has been opened.
Li Ping'an's forehead is covered with black lines.
This is really a cave made with fists...
"Apprentice, I will continue to retreat. You need to adapt to the environment here first."
Qingsu picked up a futon and walked into the newly opened inner cave. She meditated in the center of the inner cave and sealed the entire inner cave with immortal power.
Li Pingan walked into this new home with a smile, and a transparent fairy light rose from the cave door.
This is a fairy power barrier, which requires fairy power to maintain. It is two different things from a formation that relies on its base to operate on its own. It is generally only used for temporary purposes.
'It's normal for a new beginning to be difficult.'
Li Ping'an took out some furniture brought from the wooden building and simply decorated the outer cave.
This cave is indeed too simple, the floor is curved, there is nowhere to put bookshelves, and it is difficult to place furniture.
Li Ping'an worked for a long time, smoothing and hardening the ground, and repairing the walls into curved surfaces. After everything was eye-catching, he began to meditate.
My master's temperament is unique in the entire Wanyun Sect.
While escaping for thousands of miles outside the mountain gate, Li Ping'an actually discovered that Qingsu Immortal had no interest in anything other than practicing, enlightening, and fighting.
When she was at Caiyun Peak, she should have been taken care of by her senior sisters.
Li Ping'an couldn't help but murmur in his heart...
'Is it possible that I have to be responsible for taking care of Master's daily life?'
'Isn't it true that immortals usually stay in retreat for a long time?'
'Will Master guide me in my practice? How should she guide me?'
Li Ping'an suddenly discovered that his Taoist mind, which had been calm for three years, was actually a little confused at this moment.
Practice.
He planned to cultivate a calm mind for a while, build a courtyard near the cave, and draw the boundaries of the cave.
I don’t know how big the cave inside the gate is for Master.
Mennei has just rewarded him with a house, but he hasn't gone to Fanshi Hall to receive it yet. If the master's cave has insufficient land, he can also use his share of the house.
In the barrier, General Li Ping'an set up a small spirit gathering array with his spiritual stone, and he meditated and practiced with his eyes closed.
Outside the barrier, two figures were hiding in the white clouds outside the mountain.
Li Dazhi frowned and stared at the situation below, then turned to look at Wei Yanzi who was yawning profusely.
"What happened to Master?"
Wei Yanzi smiled and said:
"I will leave for the coast of the East China Sea soon. Do you have anything else to say? While I'm at the door, I can help you with some errands."
"Everything else is nothing."
Li Dazhi put his hands behind his back and frowned:
"Immortal Qingsu doesn't know how to build a cave, and he doesn't arrange any formations. If someone with malicious intentions sneaks up on him, wouldn't it be easy to damage Ping'an, which has not yet established its foundation?"
"this……"
Wei Yanzi was in trouble:
"Master, this is a personal matter between master and apprentice. Qing Su is an immortal, and I heard that it's not easy to get along with him.
"If we rush to help, it will easily make Immortal Qingsu unhappy."
"What you said makes sense."
Li Dazhi pondered for a few times, his eyes moved slightly, and he already had an idea in his heart.
"Deacon, come here."
"Hey, okay...Master, actually you can just speak directly. We two men are arguing...you say it, I will listen."
Such and such, such and such.
The micro-inflammation quickly turned into rainbow light and flew away.
Li Dazhi took out a jade plate that recorded the "drinking friends" in the door, searched carefully, and drove to the peak where an immortal elder lived.
That elder is good at setting up mountain protection formations.
Two or three hours passed.
Li Ping'an found that his Taoist mind had stabilized, so he ended his meditation.
He took off his robe, put on a fine linen jacket and trousers, and stepped out of the barrier arranged by his master.
Li Ping'an strolled around the cave. He was afraid of making any noise that would disturb his master's practice, so he did not cast any spells. Instead, he took out a sharp long sword and manually cleared the shrubs and weeds near the cave.
On the white clouds outside the mountain, Li Dazhi and Wei Yanzi quietly appeared.
"Deacon, enter."
"Master, don't worry," Wei Yanzi cupped his hands, "I will certainly fulfill my mission!"
Wei Yanzi used his escape technique and left quietly.
He first went to a river valley inside the mountain gate, flicked his sleeves to draw up a large amount of river water, and then used his immortal power to control the clouds, turning it into a dark cloud that floated near Li Ping'an's cave.
Rumble...
After the weak thunder, it began to rain heavily in some areas of the hills.
Li Ping'an frowned and hid back in the cave, sniffing with the tip of his nose.
This rain smells like magic.
Suddenly a faint light appeared in the rain, and two large beds inlaid with gold and jade, with curtains and mattresses, were wrapped in the fairy light and landed steadily in front of the cave door.
Li Ping'an looked puzzled.
Immediately afterwards, a mirror stand made of common spiritual roots that lasted for thousands of years, a pair of wooden chairs with built-in spiritual ventilation restrictions, several hollow and carved fairy cabinets, a bonsai made of three hundred years of enlightenment tea trees...
More than ten pieces of valuable furniture, wrapped in fairy light, slowly fell from the sky and formed two rows in front of the cave.
The rain stopped immediately.
Li Ping'an couldn't help but raise his hands to his forehead, wondering what his father was doing.
If you want to deliver furniture directly, why don't you show up?
At this moment, a fairy light flashed beside Li Pingan, and Qing Su was already standing at the entrance of the cave with her hands behind her hands, looking at the furniture outside, with a bit of admiration in her eyes.
Li Ping'an was about to explain: "Master, this should be..."
I heard Qingsu murmuring: "It turns out that what the junior sisters and others said are true. The things they eat and use fall from the sky."
Master, use your celestial consciousness to see that dark cloud that has not drifted far away!
That’s either Deacon Wei Yanzi or Deacon Wang Xinhui!
"Apprentice, please move in."
Qing Su turned her head and looked at the cave, and found that the cave created by her two fists was still too small, so she clenched her fist again with her Qianqian jade fingers.
"Master! No need!"
Li Ping'an quickly stood up:
"Master, give me half a day to build the cave! If you use Beng Fist again, the mountain will be shattered!"
Qingsu frowned and said, "But you are too weak."
Li Ping'an:......
She also realized that what she said was wrong and explained: "I mean, your mana is too low, and it will be very troublesome to do these things."
"fine!"
Li Pingan put it on his sleeve and pulled out a long spear and a long sword.
This gun is entirely silver-white, with a lifelike green dragon attached to its body, exuding strong fluctuations of fairy power;
The long sword is sharp and sharp, and it is also a fairy magic weapon that can cut iron like clay.
"Disciple uses magic weapon to cut it!"
Qing Su tilted her head slightly, turned around and sat on the beautifully carved chair, crossed her legs, supported her chin with one hand, and waited for Li Ping'an to show his strength.
Li Ping'an searched among the stored instruments for a while and took out a yellowed blueprint.
He designed several cave dwellings in his spare time, and now he just used them.
Move as soon as possible and start work directly.
Li Ping'an took a pill to restore his mana in advance. His spiritual consciousness penetrated into the cracks in the mountain, felt the load-bearing structure of the mountain, and marked everywhere, preparing to expand outward with the existing cave structure.
Then he held the sword in his left hand and the gun in his right hand, and began to work hard.
These two fairy treasures were bought by Li Dazhi for his son's self-defense. After going out with Li Ping'an, he didn't get any chance to show off his power. After returning to the mountain, they became construction tools...
Fortunately, these two fairy treasures are not spiritual.
Qing Su looked at the busy figures of her disciples, her eyes gradually closing.
She had previously participated in the treasure hunt at the ancient ruins of the East China Sea, fought with people for several days in a row, and then was seriously injured. She escaped, retreated, and broke through. She never had a good rest, and her soul was already exhausted.
Li Pingan's movements became more and more agile, and he continued to move large square stones out of the mountain, and several supporting stone pillars were quickly formed.
As night falls, the cave dwelling conceived by Li Ping'an has begun to take shape.
Qingsu curled up her legs, huddled her tall body in the chair, and gradually fell into a deep sleep.
——Before the Golden Fairyland, the best way for a Qi practitioner to replenish his energy is to have a good sleep, followed by meditation that is not a spiritual practice.
Li Ping'an moved a screen in front of Master to reduce the noise from the construction site.
Then he devoted himself to the construction of the cave, repeating the process of cutting stones, cutting stones, moving stones, and grinding stones.
The night passed so quietly.
When a ray of morning light fell on Qingsu Immortal's thin eyelids, her eyelashes trembled slightly and she opened her eyes and looked forward.
Li Ping'an was stepping on his scabbard, squatting half a foot off the ground in front of two vermilion doors, carefully tracing the rivets on them.
"Um?"
Qingsu was startled.
Her immortal knowledge was powerful, and she could see the entire structure of the cave with just one glance.
These two gates and the stone wall inlaid with the gates are part of the extension of the cave and are perfectly integrated with the entire mountain.
The stones that make up this part of the structure are the square stones that Li Ping'an moved out; these stones have been cast together to achieve a natural effect.
"Master, are you awake?"
Li Pingan jumped down from the scabbard and said with a smile: "The main body of the cave has been completed, and some details will be filled in later. Do you want to go in and have a look?"
Qingsu frowned and said, "Did you do this?"
"Although the disciple is only in the Condensing Light Realm, he can still dig mountains and dig rocks. If you see where you need to correct it, the disciple will correct it immediately."
Qing Su pursed her lips and frowned, then moved behind Li Ping'an and gently opened the door.
Behind the door is a ten-foot-long open space, paved with regular bluestones everywhere, and a path built with light white jade in the middle.
Walking along the jade road, there is a long and narrow lotus pond, and two wooden bridges lead to the main hall of the cave.
The main hall is six feet wide, with wooden false walls covering the left and right sides.
Dozens of orbs were inlaid on the ceiling three feet above the ground. The gleaming light emitted by the orbs filled the first half of the cave.
Exploring back along the main hall, there is a clear pool in the center that has not yet been diverted. The bottom of the pool has been paved with a layer of fine waste spiritual stones.
On the left side of Qingchi is the classroom, on the right is the training hall, and further inside is the highlight.
——Li Pingan almost hollowed out the inside of the hill and built a large bedroom for his master.
In the middle of the bedroom, there is a spiritual spring filled with fairy mist. All the decorations are centered around this spiritual spring. Most of the furniture that Li Dazhi sent yesterday was placed here.
Seven or eight light wells were left directly above the bedroom to provide bright light during the day and stargazing at night. Li Ping'an planned to move a few insect-repelling spiritual trees later, make a hanging basket for the master by the spring, and build some wardrobe bookshelves...
…
No matter how much thought you put into your master, it is appropriate.
"You did all this?"
Qingsu asked again, seeming a little unhappy.
"Well," Li Ping'an felt a little uneasy, "of course this is a trivial achievement achieved under the guidance of Master."
"Amazing."
Qing Su admired in a low voice, then frowned and pursed her lips, saying in a low voice:
"I... I'm not very good at doing this."
"Master, just teach me how to practice Taoism!"
Li Ping'an breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "I like doing these miscellaneous things."
"Well," Qing Su nodded slightly and pointed to the spring, "I'm going to take a bath and change clothes. You go to the room where you are enlightened and practice and wait for me. I will come and preach to you later."
Li Ping'an was immediately overjoyed: "Disciple, I obey!"
Half an hour later.
Qingsu, with long wet hair and a loose long skirt, strolled over barefoot and sat in front of the word "Tao".
Li Ping'an has adjusted his condition to the best. At this moment, his eyes are clear and his mind is clear. He is waiting quietly for Master to teach.
Qingsu pinched her chin and tried to recall how her master guided her in practice, and she soon became confident.
She said confidently:
"In the first sermon, I will explain to you all the insights I have gained since my practice so far, from the simplest to the most profound. You can understand as much as you can. Remember, there should be no force.
"Remember what you don't understand, and we will explain it in detail starting from what you don't understand."
Don’t you talk about sect internal skills?
Li Ping'an was startled for a moment, and then sighed with emotion.
This is probably the benefit of becoming a disciple.
Qing Su's thin lips slightly opened: "Where did the clouds come from? The sky and the earth opened up, and the clear and turbid began to separate..."
…
Six hours later.
Qing Su walked around the cave with bare feet and hummed a soft tune.
Li Ping'an sat in front of the word "Tao" and meditated, surrounded by the divine power of Qing Su.
Li Ping'an benefited a lot from Qing Su's generous teachings and detailed explanations, and his understanding of "Wanyun Jue" directly rose to two levels.
He has a lot of insights and is breaking through small realms one after another.
There was a gentle roar outside the cave entrance.
Qing Su's body flashed with fairy light, and she appeared at the door of the cave. She tilted her head and looked at the middle-aged Taoist who had fallen into the hole and was chewing mud.
It was Wei Yanzi, the deacon of the outer sect.
"Ouch!"
Wei Yanzi stood up holding his forehead, frowning and yelling:
"Why did you hit the clouds! Hey! Keep an eye on the clouds! Why are you flying so fast inside the door! Qingsu Immortal, have I disturbed you?"
Qingsu shook her head: "No..."
"Ah, poor Taoist must die!"
Wei Yanzi slapped his forehead in annoyance:
"If you disturb the cultivation of immortals, you might miss out on the enlightenment of immortality! I really don't know how to compensate my fellow Taoists! Yes, I have a design diagram of the mountain guarding formation here. I should compensate it to my fellow Taoists! There are two more here.
The treasures in the box formation should be regarded as an apology to fellow Taoists!
"Don't blame me, fellow Taoist! Just don't go through it, don't go through it!"
Wei Yanzi turned around and ran away, riding the clouds into the sky.
Qing Su looked at the boxes and array diagrams in front of her and couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
Junior sister Qingxu's instructions sounded in her ears again:
'Senior Sister Qingsu, you only care about cultivation. It can be done in our Caiyun Peak, but after you go out, you have to learn to deal with people. You must be on guard against others. Everyone likes to take advantage of others, no.
How many people will truly sacrifice themselves for others.'
At this moment, Immortal Qingsu raised some objections to Junior Sister's instructions.
Spiritual power fluctuations appeared again in the cave, and Li Ping'an broke through another minor realm.
