You cultivate immortality, I cultivate merit

It was getting dark. After Shi Xiaoliu came out and lit a pile of firewood, he jumped onto the roof.

He saw light and shadow passing by one after another on the horizon, and his heart suddenly became heavy.

Shi Zelan came out of the room and added thick roots to the firewood. Then she floated to Shi Xiaoliu and sat down next to her.

She raised her eyes and saw streaks of light and shadow passing by on the horizon. She stood up suddenly and sent a message to Master Shanzheng: "Master, I have made many talismans and seals."

After a long, long time, she received a message from Master Shan Zheng: "Okay."

Shi Zelan felt much relieved. She sat next to Shi Xiaoliu and looked up at the sky like him.

At this moment, there were no more lights and shadows in the sky. Shi Xiaoliu looked down at Shi Zelan: "Sister Lan, we will continue to dig herbs and make tea tomorrow."

After Shi Zelan nodded, he said to Shi Xiaoliu: "Have you heard anything about animals these days?"

After Shi Xiaoliu thought seriously for a moment, he shook his head: "I haven't heard any movement from them since the land was excavated."

Shi Zelan stood up: "I'm going to draw talismans and practice."

Shi Xiaoliu sat on the roof: "Okay, as long as I'm here, you can draw the talisman and practice in peace."

Shi Zelan stopped and looked at him: "Xiao Liu, you also go to practice, and we each set up a protective barrier."

Shi Xiaoliu nodded and flew down behind Shi Zelan. He would still be vigilant and pay attention to the surrounding situation.

After a peaceful night, Shi Zelan woke up. Shi Xiaoliu was drying herbs in the open space. He smiled and said to Shi Zelan, "I took the tea leaves to dry under the eaves."

"I'll also take out the tea leaves and dry them for a day."

Shi Zelan sent a message of greetings to Zhenzheng Shanzheng, but received no reply. She asked Shi Xiaoliu: "Xiaoliu, did my uncle send you a message?"

Shi Xiaoliu shook his head and said, "No, let's go collect herbs first and then come back to practice."

The two of them went to pick herbs from the nearby mountain. After picking two baskets of herbs, Shi Zelan asked worriedly: "Xiao Liu, do you have room to store so many herbs?"

"Yes, after the herbs are dried and processed, they actually don't take up that much space."

Shi Zelan looked up at the sky. When she saw a light and shadow in the sky, she pulled Shi Xiaoliu down and hid in the deep grass.

After the light and shadow went back and forth above them several times, it finally flew away into the distance, and Shi Zelan sat down on the ground.

Shi Xiaoliu's face didn't look good either: "You also think that something was wrong just now?"

"Xiao Liu, we can't go back for the time being."

The two decided to find a cave to take shelter. Since there was no news from Master Decheng and Master Shanzheng, they still had to be careful.

Just as they were about to get up, they heard voices coming from the bottom of the mountain. After looking at each other, they quickly walked up the mountain.

"The Yun Yan Sect must have found a treasure on this mountain. Have you seen the barrier set up by the Yun Yan Sect on the mountain over there?"

"Senior brother, do we really want to pick up the treasure of Luoyunyan Sect?"

"We righteous people, passing by here, saw fellow Taoists from Yunyan Sect encountering difficulties, so we conveniently helped them."

"Yes, senior brother, my structure is not as broad as senior brother's."

"Let's go to the top first to take a look at the situation.

In this situation, let's save our own lives first. "

After they left, Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan emerged from behind the tree.

"Sister Lan, the current situation is quite bad. Let's go find Master and Uncle." The two decided to return to their residence, pack their things, and then make the next decision.

When they returned to their residence, Shi Zelan was so excited that he burst into tears when he saw Pingyang Zhenren standing in the open space.

"Little uncle, you are finally here."

Master Pingyang looked her over, looked at Shi Xiaoliu and said, "Your master sent a message asking you to refine more heart-clearing elixirs."

Shi Xiaoliu said quickly: "Uncle Master, I will start refining the elixir now."

Master Pingyang turned to Shi Zelan and said, "Sister Lan, give me all the purification talismans in your hand."

Shi Zelan took out a small bag and gave it to Master Pingyang: "Uncle, they are all here. I will make the talismans immediately."

Before they entered the house, Master Pingyang said, "I'm going to find your master now. What do you have to say?"

Shi Xiaoliu quickly stuffed Pingyang Zhenren with a bunch of porcelain bottles: "Uncle Master, these are the elixirs I have refined these days. Leave them to my master for use."

"Little uncle, both you and master must come back well."

"Don't be afraid, you two. The situation this time is a bit complicated, but the sect has sent an array master to come over and the problem will be solved soon."

When Master Pingyang left, he reset the protective barrier for them.

After Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan entered the room for a while, they were uneasy and went to the roof at the same time.

Shi Xiaoliu concentrated on refining the elixir, while Shi Zelan carefully drew the talisman. It was getting late, and Master Pingyang had not returned yet.

The two of them lit a fire in the open space. They knew that someone was passing by halfway up the mountain.

The firewood was bright and the two of them were meditating on the roof. Shi Zelan originally thought that under such circumstances, her practice would be as difficult as ever.

But this time it was different. There was too much golden spiritual energy floating in the air, and it kept drilling into her body. She felt the pain as her meridians expanded.

Shi Zelan couldn't help but hum a few times, waking up Shi Xiaoliu beside him.

He turned around and saw Shi Zelan in the advanced stage, and became more vigilant in observing the surrounding situation.

Shi Zelan was now in moments of joy and pain, with her whole body roaring in pain, but she knew in her heart that she had to persevere.

That night, Shi Xiaoliu looked at Shi Zelan worriedly. It was not until the sky became brighter and he saw that black substance no longer oozed from Shi Zelan's face that he felt more relieved.

Shi Zelan opened her eyes and saw Shi Xiaoliu. Seeing the joy in his eyes, she said to Shi Xiaoliu: "Xiaoliu, I think I can feel what is happening farther away."

Shi Xiaoliu quickly reminded: "Sister Lan, please quickly take back your consciousness."

Shi Zelan stood up and smelled a foul smell. When she frowned, she felt that her breathing was not smooth. She reached out and touched a black lump.

She immediately flew down: "Xiao Liu, I'll clean it carefully first, and then I'll talk to you."

Shi Zelan went into the room to clean up, and Shi Xiaoliu performed a cleaning trick. The air suddenly became much fresher, and he could breathe freely.

After a while, when Shi Zelan came out of the room, Shi Xiaoliu asked her uneasily: "Sister Lan, are you feeling uncomfortable now?"

Shi Zelan shook his head, thought for a moment and said to Shi Xiaoliu: "Xiaoliu, the protective barrier that the junior uncle set up before leaving probably blocked some prying eyes."

Shi Xiaoliu agreed with Shi Zelan's words and thought that Shi Zelan's rapid advancement this time should be related to her careful drawing of talismans.

Therefore, he said to Shi Zelan: "Sister Lan, I will go into the room to practice. You can continue to draw the talismans on the roof." (End of Chapter)
