They first came to the disciples and handed in the tasks. No one redeemed the twelve training tower tokens. When Zhan Chen took the token, he observed it carefully. The token looked ordinary and seemed to be made of iron.
, with the words "Thirteenth Floor of the Cultivation Tower Token" written on it, so she asked Gong Xinyan: "Sister Gong, can you enter the Cultivation Tower as long as you hold this token?"
Gong Xinyan nodded and replied: "Yes, anyone can. Each floor of the cultivation tower is guarded by an elder. They only recognize tokens but not people. In other words, even if you are just a few
Children aged 10 to 12 can enter the corresponding floor to practice if they go there with a training token."
Zhan Chen was stunned and said: "Then if someone steals the token from me, he can also enter the training tower?"
"Well, yes, so you have to keep the token well and don't let anyone with malicious intentions discover it."
When Zhan Chen heard what she said, he quickly put the token into the storage ring and looked around, looking like he was a thief.
Seeing this, Gong Xinyan felt relieved and scolded with a smile: "There's no need to be so nervous, it's just trying to cover up!"
Zhan Chen smiled sheepishly and said, "This token is too important to me."
While chatting, the two returned to Xinyan Peak. Seeing the familiar yet unfamiliar mountain scenery, Zhan Chen and Gong Xinyan both felt like they were reunited after a long separation. They did not enter the cultivation state immediately, but took a good rest.
After taking a rest, Gong Xinyan went to Zhan Chen early the next morning and gave Zhan Chen all the tokens she had redeemed.
Zhan Chen was stunned for a moment while holding the token, and asked: "Sister Gong, what do you mean?"
Gong Xinyan replied: "Didn't you say you need a token? I'll give you all my share."
Zhan Chen hurriedly waved his hands and said, "How is this possible? Sister Gong, you have worked so hard to get these tokens, and you almost lost your life for this."
Gong Xinyan smiled and said: "I took this task so that you can improve your cultivation level quickly. Your cultivation level is too low. If you want to improve it in a short time, you must enter more training towers."
"But - what about you?"
Gong Xinyan smiled casually and said: "It's useless for me to ask for a token. I have been in the realm of Yuanshen Dzogchen for more than three hundred years, and I have entered the cultivation tower three times during this period. This is necessary to break through to the realm of Taoism.
It's just a matter of chance. The longer you practice, the better it will be, so I'll give you the opportunity."
"Sister Gong——" Zhan Chen's voice was choked with sobs. He was so moved.
"Okay, don't shed tears, you are a man!"
"I didn't!" Zhan Chen hurriedly wiped the tears from his eyes.
"Also, you will definitely need a lot of elixirs for your cultivation, but you have just joined the Qinxiao Sect, and you don't have many merit points, so you can't exchange them for a few good elixirs, and my elixirs are not suitable for you to use, so the later elixirs
You can use the elixir in the garden to make elixirs."
Zhan Chen was stunned, shook his head, and sighed: "Sister Gong, the elixir is no problem. It's really not a big deal and you can buy it with fairy stones. But what I lack now is the elixir recipe and the alchemy skills, and I can't refine it at all.
Here comes the high-level elixir."
What he lacks most now is the elixir prescription. The Daluo Tiancheng elixir taught to him by Yan Yan is only a low-level immortal-level elixir, which is not enough to meet his current cultivation needs. As for other high-level immortal-level elixirs, they are basically in the past.
He was exhausted in his cultivation.
"Alchemy and elixir recipes are indeed troublesome." Gong Xinyan thought deeply for a while, then suddenly clapped her hands and said with a smile: "Hey, by the way, how could I forget her!"
"Who?" Zhan Chen asked curiously.
"My mother."
"Your mother knows how to make elixirs?"
"Of course, my mother studied under Su Rourou, the great elder of the Qinxiao Sect's Alchemy Pavilion, and her alchemy skills are very good." Gong Xinyan shouted.
"If that's the case, that would be the best." Zhan Chenxi said. In fact, he wanted to become a senior alchemist and practice alchemy again, because in the process of refining the elixir, he found that what he had learned in the past had already been learned.
Gradually it can no longer keep up with new demands.
But then he asked again: "But Sister Gong, what is your relationship with your mother?"
Gong Xinyan sighed and said: "Actually, I still love my mother very much. She was very good to me when I was a child and was a gentle person. But she was very strict with my younger brother, and even her demands were harsh, because
In our Qinxiao sect, if a man cannot perform exceptionally well, he will not be able to gain a foothold at all. It is precisely because of this that Miyazaki takes desperate risks.
My father would leave without a word. This matter has always been a barrier between our mother and daughter. After Miyazaki died, my mother changed. She often locked herself on the top floor of Lingxiu Tower, and her behavior also changed.
She became overbearing and domineering, and often had relationships with other male disciples in the sect. I really hope that my mother can become the gentle and virtuous woman I knew before."
Zhan Chen listened to her silent narration, and could see the infinite hope in her eyes, expecting her mother to change, and sighed: "Sister Gong, time is a good medicine that can heal all wounds. I believe in the strength of you mother and daughter."
The relationship will definitely get better again.”
Gong Xinyan shook her head and said worriedly: "But recently she has become more and more withdrawn and unreasonable, and her behavior has become more and more indulgent. I am really worried that my mother will fall like this. It is best if someone can pull her back."
Bundle."
Zhan Chen didn't say anything, because he didn't know how to comfort Gong Xinyan. He only heard Gong Xinyan say again: "Zhan Chen, I want to ask my mother to teach you the alchemy technique. This way, I can kill two birds with one stone. On the one hand, it can help improve injuries."
In terms of cultivation, on the other hand, you are very similar to Miyazaki, and my mother may change a little if she is with you."
Zhan Chen hesitated for a moment and said, "It would be great to have an enlightened ancestor teach me alchemy, but what I'm worried about is whether your mother will agree."
"Humph, she didn't agree, so I wasted her time. Anyway, I just want her to accept you!" Gong Xinyan pouted.
Zhan Chen was stunned for a moment, then smiled helplessly and shook his head, but he added: "Sister Gong, if Master really doesn't agree, forget it. With the help of elixirs, your cultivation will improve faster, but without elixirs
It’s also good to play slowly and steadily.”
"Don't worry, this matter will be taken care of by me, you come with me now!" Gong Xinyan said as she dragged Zhan Chen into Lingxiu Palace.
But when they came to Lingxiu Palace, they were stopped by two gatekeepers. Gong Xinyan asked directly: "What's wrong with you two? Don't you recognize me? I want to see my mother!"
The two on-duty disciples looked at each other and said timidly: "Senior Sister Gong, of course we know who you are, but the elder has given instructions that no one is allowed to enter -"
"Why? I am her daughter, so I can naturally see her!"
“But if it’s time for the elders to blame—”
"Don't worry, just say that I forced my way in. This way, my mother won't do anything to you." Gong Xinyan dragged Zhan Chen directly and rushed through the door, leaving behind the people outside.
The two on-duty disciples were at a loss.
The two entered the courtyard. Gong Xinyan took Zhan Chen directly to Lingxiu Tower, but saw that the door of Lingxiu Tower was locked. Her expression immediately turned bad and she murmured: "Is that really the case?
?”
Zhan Chen didn't understand what she meant by this, but he heard Gong Xinyan say to him: "Brother, let's go!" After saying that, she pulled Zhan Chen forward and went straight to a room.
Before the hidden attic, this attic was hidden deep among the dense and tall trees. If you didn't look carefully, it would be easy to overlook it.
Without saying a word, Gong Xinyan pushed the door of the attic open, and Zhan Chen naturally followed her into it. Looking around, she saw that this was a room decorated in pink style, filled with a strong sense of smell.
The smell of powder makes people imagine, and there is a fragrant smell of perfume floating in the air, which fully covers up the fishy smell after passion.
At this moment, Gong Meifen walked out of the back room while arranging her scattered clothes.
Gong Xinyan stared at her fiercely and asked immediately: "Mom, you did that again! Are you worthy of the dead Miyazaki and father?"
Gong Meifen said with a cold face: "Xinyan, why did you just break into my room again? How many times has this happened?"
"Hmph, if I hadn't barged in again and again, you would have only become more indulgent. Which man would you be with this time?"
While the mother and daughter were arguing, a handsome man with disheveled hair and pink face walked out from behind the door. He looked embarrassed and said, "Elder Gong, disciple, I will take my leave first!"
Gong Meifen didn't answer him, but turned back to look at him. The man looked even more embarrassed and hurried away in despair.
The atmosphere in the room became awkward again. After a while, Gong Meifen asked: Tell me, "What do you want to see me for today?"
