Guixin Sect, Shuijingtang, in a small house in the accommodation area.
"You guys tell me...how should I repay senior brother for this kindness?"
Next to a lit candle on the square table, Fang Qiuyao asked with a nervous look on his face.
Liu Zijin thought seriously for a while, but finally shook his head and said: "No, even if the five of us work together, we really can't come up with anything that senior brother will like."
At this time, Yu Guituo suddenly shouted: "How about the snacks made by hand!? My mother said that even the richest men would like things made by girls."
After hearing this, Fang Qiuyao shook her head and said, "I have thought about it too, but the delicacies made by my senior brother..."
When Yu Guituan heard this, he immediately wilted and agreed: "That's right... Senior brother is so good at cooking. The five of us tied together can't make such delicious snacks..."
"Then...how about we compose a song for senior brother together?"
Liu Zijin was inspired immediately after hearing Yu Guituo's words "things made by girls".
When the others heard this, they immediately opened their eyes and shouted: "What a great idea!"
They are all disciples of the Shui Jing Hall, and they are not only good at composing music, not to mention that the five of them are the top five among all the disciples.
The three sisters of the Yu family suddenly became interested and raised their hands one after another.
Yu Guishui: "I'll compose the music!"
Yu Guituo: "I'll write the lyrics!"
Yu Guimiao: "I...I'm with the second sister!"
After hearing this, Fang Qiuyao shook her head and said, "No, no, no, I want to thank my senior brother, or I should compose the music and write the lyrics myself."
"But... we also want to help." The three sisters of the Yu family stared at Fang Qiuyao with their big watery eyes and shot out a large number of stars.
Fang Qiuyao, who couldn't withstand the offensive looks from the three sisters, turned her head suddenly and said: "No... no, I have to do this myself."
At this time, Liu Zijin opened his mouth and said, "Qiu Yao is right. Since Qiu Yao wants to thank senior brother, she should compose the lyrics and music. We will be responsible for designing and setting up the stage."
When the three sisters of the Yu family heard this, they immediately raised six hands and agreed: "Okay, let's set up the stage!"
Seeing that the three sisters of the Yu family agreed, Liu Zijin looked at Fang Qiuyao and said, "Qiuyao, do you think this is okay?"
"Well, thank you everyone." Fang Qiuyao nodded.
"Oh, why are you so polite to us?" Yu Guituan said, patting his chest and saying, "Leave this matter to us, we will definitely set up the most beautiful stage!"
"Yeah!" Fang Qiuyao nodded vigorously, but said with a troubled look: "But senior brother is still waiting for me to deliver the Mahayana secret water to him. I can't keep senior brother waiting for too long."
"This...is true." Liu Zijin nodded.
Whether it's composing music or setting up a stage, it's not something that can be done in a short while. It feels weird to divide the thank you into two times...
Just when the five of them were lost in thought at the same time, a paper kite suddenly flew into the hut and slowly landed in front of Fang Qiuyao.
Fang Qiuyao, who knew it was a letter from senior brother, immediately held up the kite and said, "Let me see what is written in senior brother's letter first."
The other four people nodded together, "Well, look, look, look."
Opening the kite, Fang Qiuyao read it quickly and then suddenly raised the envelope and cheered: "Great!"
"What's wrong, what's wrong?" The three sisters of the Yu family came up to ask curiously.
"Senior brother said that he would retreat for a while and asked me to deliver the Mahayana secret water to him later."
"What a coincidence!?" The three sisters of the Yu family widened their eyes at the same time.
Liu Zijin was also a little surprised, but he quickly clapped his hands twice and said: "Since God has given us this opportunity, let's act quickly, otherwise it will be bad if we fail to catch up with our senior brother to get out of seclusion."
"Yes, yes, let's go choose a venue first." Yu Guishui took the lead and said.
Yu Guituo nodded and said, "How about going to Ziyun Waterfall? There is a beautiful pavilion over there."
While the two were talking, Yu Guimiao kept stuffing the remaining snacks on the table into her mouth, while nodding and saying: "Yeah, yeah, yeah."
"Oh, even if the meeting is over, you can still eat when you go back. Why are you in such a hurry?" Yu Guimiao said while taking out a handkerchief to wipe Yu Guimiao's face.
"Woooooooooooo..."
"Eat everything before we talk."
"Gulu..." Yu Guimiao swallowed the snack in her mouth hard after hearing this, "If we go back to eat, we won't have this atmosphere."
After hearing this, Yu Guituo couldn't help but poke her forehead with his index finger and said, "You..."
On the other side, Liu Zijin blew out the candles and opened the window to let the sunshine into the house.
"Okay, I officially announce that the 18th Senior Brother Seminar is over. Everyone, please hurry up and take action."
…
On the other side, Jiang Beiran, who sent the letter, is indeed planning to retreat.
On the way back from the country, he received letters from Huo Hongfei and Gu Qinghuan.
Both of them said they had already set off.
Jiang Beiran read the letter and replied to each of them. The general idea was to tell them not to be too pushy. If it was too difficult, just tell him and he would help them find a solution.
Back in Fengzhou, Jiang Beiran first went to the cave to take a look at Qu Yangze to make sure there was nothing abnormal about his body.
However, after confirming it, Jiang Beiran discovered that Qu Yangze not only did not feel any discomfort, he was even very familiar with this new body, much faster than when he first adapted to the "new body".
After the confirmation, Jiang Beiran brought Qu Yangze back to his self-enchantment.
With Gu Qinghuan leaving, Jiang Beiran was ready to hand over the management of his self-border to him, Qu Yangze.
Although Qu Yangze cannot be as comprehensive as Lu Qinghuan, it shouldn't be too difficult to take over for the time being.
When Jiang Beiran taught Qu Yangze what he needed to do in the self-enchantment, Wu Qingce, who had adjusted his body to its peak condition, also returned.
Jiang Beiran stepped forward and carefully checked his body with his mental strength, then nodded and said, "Well, it's as solid as I imagined." After that, he raised his head and asked Wu Qingce, "Which one do you choose, death or mediocrity?"
Wu Qingce was stunned for a moment after hearing this, then immediately stood up straight and said: "Death!"
"Okay, given your current physical condition, I decided to increase your dose and wait a few more days."
"Yes!" Wu Qingce replied firmly.
…
The reason why Jiang Beiran went into seclusion was to refine another Xuan Lei Jiutian Pill for Wu Qingce.
This Xuan Lei Jiutian Pill is actually an upgraded version of the Thunder Flame Tempering Body Pill, but the materials required are several levels more difficult.
But fortunately, Jiang Beiran has gained a lot from Jinding Island this time. He has collected most of the materials needed for the Xuan Lei Jiutian Pill, but there is only one thing missing, and that is the Tiangu Jade Flower.
This is a kind of treasure that is not even recorded in the rare book.
Jiang Beiran only realized its rarity from the "Private Rare Spectrum" given to him by Shi Hongfang.
This Tiangu Jade Flower can only grow on the Thunder Spirit Vein, and only one flower can be planted in the same area, otherwise it will wither due to insufficient absorption. It can be said to be extremely precious.
Naturally, only those sects with thunder spirit veins can possess such precious treasures, and they will basically not be sold to outsiders.
So when he couldn't get the Tiangu Jade Flower, at least in the short term, Jiang Beiran decided to make a bold experiment and use another precious material to replace the Tiangu Jade Flower.
The substitute chosen by Jiang Beiran was the Lei Linghua who was originally used to make the Thunder Flame Tempering Body Pill.
After reading Shi Hongfang's private treasure spectrum, Jiang Beiran understood that the essence of the Tiangu Jade Flower was actually the same as that of the Thunder Spirit Flower. They were both treasures containing a large amount of thunder spirit energy.
It's just that the thunder spirit energy contained in the Tiangu Jade Flower is far better than that of the Thunder Spirit Flower.
So if you want to use Thunder Spirit Flower to replace Tiangu Jade Flower, the first thing you have to do is to "upgrade" it.
Jiang Beiran's idea for this is to use a large amount of pure wood spiritual energy stored in the spiritual stone to cultivate the Thunder Spirit Flower and improve its quality from another perspective.
Although Jiang Beiran didn't know if anyone had tried this method, he felt it was very feasible.
After all, he has been making inventions in Xuanyi for more than a day or two. He has long known that these so-called elixir recipes or formation diagrams are actually not so rigid and can be completely modified.
However, although he had ideas and ideas, whether it was cultivating Thunder Spirit Flowers with wood spiritual energy or refining high-quality elixirs such as Xuan Lei Jiutian Dan, it was not something that could be accomplished overnight, so Jiang Beiran thought that there was nothing urgent to do recently.
If there is anything wrong, just retreat and study alchemy carefully.
Anyway, he had already analyzed his shortcomings last time, and this time he would improve them comprehensively to make himself more refined in alchemy.
So after explaining all the people and things that needed to be explained, Jiang Beiran began his retreat.
Seeing the door of the alchemy room being closed, Wu Qingce let out a long breath.
Thinking that my senior brother had worked so hard for his promotion, I thought that he would not let him down no matter what.
"boom!"
Swinging out a punch fiercely, Wu Qingce was fully mentally prepared.
The senior brother had told him last time that he might die during this promotion, and this time he would continue to add fuel to the fire, which would mean death upon death.
No matter how you think about it, it's a narrow escape, and it will definitely be more difficult than the last time his senior brother helped him advance to Xuanling.
But Wu Qingce has no fear about this!
Although he now feels that he is already very strong among his peers, he is not satisfied with this. He also wants to become stronger!
Firmly determined, Wu Qingce turned to look at Qu Yangze.
Regarding this youngest junior brother, Wu Qingce actually didn't know him very well, because the senior brother left him to Qing Huan to take care of him, and he would sleep for a while from time to time, so in general, Wu Qingce didn't have much contact with him.
Now that he had this opportunity to get along, he felt that he wanted to establish the image of his senior brother in this junior brother's heart.
"cough!"
Wu Qingce coughed lightly, looked at Qu Yangze and said, "Junior brother Qu, long time no see. How have you been lately?"
Hearing this, Qu Yangze quickly raised his hands to Wu Qingce and said, "Thank you, Senior Brother Wu, for your concern. I'm doing very well."
"Yes." Nodding, Wu Qingce took out a golden talisman and four silver talismans from the Qiankun Ring and handed them to Qu Yangze and said: "I heard Qinghuan say that you haven't learned Xuan Gong yet. This is what I did in Liang before.
The mysterious talisman Zhou found from a demon sect, the golden one is engraved with the Divine Sky Talisman, which can attract wind, rain, thunder and lightning to help you attack the enemy."
"The four silver ones are the Dao Jade Talisman, the Speedy Descending Talisman, the Dragon Summoning Talisman and the Sea Falling Talisman. They..." Halfway through the words, Wu Qingce suddenly asked: "Junior Brother Lai Qu, have you ever learned any spells?"
"Yes." Qu Yangze nodded, "Senior Brother Gu taught me some things, but I'm stupid...I don't remember much. Besides, these talismans from Senior Brother Wu are too precious, and I deserve them."
Wu Qingce directly pressed the five talisman papers on Qu Yangze's chest and said: "What's the shame? You are my junior brother. If there are good things, my senior brother will definitely give you a share, not to mention that you haven't mastered Xuan Gong yet.
Come on, these charms will definitely be useful."
"But……"
"Stop it, just accept it."
After Wu Qingce finished speaking, he withdrew his hand, while Qu Yangze quickly stretched out his hand to catch the five falling talismans.
"Then thank you so much, Senior Brother Wu." Qu Yangze held the five talisman papers and said to Wu Qingce.
"You're welcome. Also, didn't you turn into a cocoon before? It was your senior brother who woke you up?"
Qu Yangze nodded after hearing this: "Well, thanks to Master, I was able to wake up. Otherwise, I might have stayed in that cocoon for a long time, or even never come out again."
"So dangerous?"
Wu Qingce exclaimed. He had naturally gone to see Qu Yangze when he turned into a cocoon before, but because this junior brother's body had never looked like a human being, Wu Qingce didn't worry too much. He just felt that he would naturally break out of the cocoon after a while.
And out.
Now it seems that he still took it for granted.
"Can you tell me in detail what happened?"
"sure."
Soon, Qu Yangze relayed to Wu Qingce what his senior brother said to him after he woke up.
"I see..." Wu Qingce nodded, somewhat understanding what was going on. He could sum it up in one sentence.
My little junior brother is becoming less and less human.
"Alas..." Qu Yangze suddenly sighed and his expression became annoyed.
"What's wrong?" Wu Qingce asked strangely.
"My head was spinning at that time, so I did something wrong, and I still regret it now..."
"What's wrong?" Wu Qingce touched his chin and asked, "What's wrong?"
Qu Yangze sighed and replied: "At that time, Master asked Senior Brother Gu to fight with me to test my strength after evolution. The result... I easily blocked Senior Brother Gu's attack in front of Master. That's it.
Something that I have always regretted."
'easily……?'
Hearing these two words, Wu Qingce couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. He was very clear about Qing Huan's strength. Just the seventh-level True Yuan Tiangang Jue made his profound energy become extremely strong.
The power of the attack cannot be underestimated.
However, Qu Yangze used the word "easy"...
Seeing that Senior Brother Wu was lost in thought, Qu Yangze quickly hit his head again and said: "Oh, I was wrong again. How could I tell Senior Brother Wu that I could easily follow Senior Brother Gu's moves? I...I...
…”
"It doesn't matter." Wu Qingce waved his hand towards him, "We senior brothers don't pay attention to this, but I am a little curious about how easy it is for you..."
