You cultivate immortality, I cultivate merit

Chapter 21 Change

In summer, living in the mountains is the most comfortable. Even at noon, the summer wind brings a coolness.

Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan were digging for spiritual grass in the back mountain. Shi Xiaoliu dug for a while and took a look at the spiritual grass in Shi Zelan's basket.

"Sister Lan, this time the leaves are long and flat, so there is no need to dig out the roots. Let it grow longer and dig it up with the roots in a few days."

"Okay, luckily I only dug a few plants."

The brother and sister each dug a basket, and on the way back, Shi Xiaoliu said to Shi Zelan: "Sister Lan, I seem to be choosing the most difficult path."

Shi Xiaoliu decided to develop in the direction of elixirs. He had a lot to learn, and there was no elixir master in Zizi Peak.

"Practice hard. When you take the exam to be an inner disciple, maybe the Taoist Lord of Yaofeng will be able to appreciate your character and aura."

Shi Xiaoliu looked at Shi Zelan: "They said that my determination to learn elixirs was betraying Zizi Peak."

"I have asked my uncle, the outer disciples of Zizai Peak will have another chance to choose their disciple when they take the exam for the inner disciples.

If you have the opportunity to become a disciple of the Master of Alchemy, it will be beneficial to Zizi Peak if you become a Great Master of Alchemy in the future. "

True Lord Fengyuan has always believed that smart people will choose the most suitable path.

Shi Zelan and Shi are no longer together. She will concentrate on learning to make talismans in the future. As for kendo, it is her biggest hobby.

Shi Xiaoliu looked at Shi Zelan and persuaded: "Sister Lan, I heard that drawing talismans is the most difficult path, even more difficult than being an alchemist."

Shi Zelan looked at Shi Xiaoliu and smiled: "Master allowed me to learn talismans, but he said that I like swords and must study swordsmanship seriously."

Shi Xiaoliu looked at Shi Zelan and wiped his face in embarrassment: "Sister Lan, listen to Mr. Dao."

Shi Zelan saw the muddy fingerprints on his face and immediately smiled: "You don't have to mind me, you can wash your hands with the Water Purification Technique."

Shi Xiaoliu clapped his hands and wiped his face with his sleeves: "Sister Lan, I think I am still the same person I used to be."

"Xiao Liu, do you miss your family?"

"Think about it, I dreamed a few days ago that my grandpa was chasing me. I ran so fast, but he didn't catch up with me."

"You practice hard. Your grandfather is still young. He will definitely be able to wait until you come home."

"Sister Lan, I'm sorry. Will you go back to see your grandpa in the future?"

"Yes, I will always go to my grandpa's grave to pay my respects and let him know that my father and mother-in-law and I are well."

The brother and sister dried the spiritual grass in the front yard. Shi Xiaoliu looked around and asked in a low voice: "Where are the five people?"

"Oh, I don't have anything to do here. I'll let them practice more when they have free time."

"They are handymen, so don't be too nice to them, lest they treat you like a child."

Shi Zelan looked at Shi Xiaoliu and asked, "Are you having a hard time at the outer gate?"

Shi Xiaoliu's eyes turned red and he quickly said: "No, it's very good."

"Others don't have a good relationship with you, and you don't have a good relationship with others. How do we, the Shi family, treat you?"

"They are busy practicing now, and we don't have much time together."

Shi Zelan looked at Shi Xiaoliu and said bluntly: "Because you are too good and they can't keep up with you, so you can't play now, right?"

"Sister Lan, I heard someone said that Xia Yu has a new friend, will you feel uncomfortable?"

"Why should I feel uncomfortable?

He originally had many friends, but we actually didn’t have a close relationship with him. "

"But others said that he was your only friend in the lecture hall."

“Well, he and I just had a chance to talk a little more.

If I want to make friends, he will never be my only friend. You should be my only good friend. "Shi Zelan poured a glass of water for Shi Xiaoliu: "Drink this glass of water slowly. "

Shi Xiaoliu took the water and took a big sip. When he heard Shi Zelan's words, he choked several times.

"Sister Lan, I took a sip of water before you reminded me."

When Shi Zelan saw that he didn't spray any water, he breathed a sigh of relief: "Luckily you didn't waste the water unique to Fangcaotang."

Shi Xiaoliu then drank a glass of water with great sip, and then thought about it for a moment: "Water is very sweet."

Shi Zelan burst out laughing after listening to his words: "It was only the second time I drank the sweet taste of water.

You are indeed someone who will become a great alchemist, your tongue is more effective than mine. "

Shi Xiaoliu looked at Shi Zelan: "The smell of water seems familiar."

"Hahaha, if you think about it more, you will definitely be able to figure out the result."

Shi Xiaoliu thought carefully, then pointed at Shi Zelan: "Sister Lan, the smell of Tianyinhua."

Shi Zelan laughed: "I know you can taste it."

"Sister Lan, you are so capable, you can actually refine Tianyinhua water."

"I don't know how. The five of them went to ask someone and came back to make something for me to drink.

Isn’t it delicious?

I gave it to my master and uncle to drink. They both said the water was good, but I couldn’t drink it often. "

"Is it because of the medicinal properties of Tianyinhua?"

“Tian Yin Hua has pure medicinal properties, but the water extracted in the morning has a coolness to it.

Drinking it in summer is good for your body. . "

After listening to Shi Zelan's words, Shi Xiaoliu thought for a moment and said to her: "I will learn more about pharmacology and see if I can extract Tianyinhua water at night."

"Okay, let's study hard. But for now we still have to collect more spiritual herbs and send them to the Governor's Hall in exchange for some spiritual stones."

Shi Zelan has no shortage of spiritual stones for the time being, but if she can earn more spiritual stones, she will be more confident about leaving the sect in the future.

Most of the Tianyinhua in Fangcaotang will be returned to the sect, but regarding the Lingcao, Zizaifeng's affairs will be handled by Shi Zelan on his own.

Shi Zelan asked Lu Lingyu and the other five for their opinions. They said that after they were busy with things in the back mountain, they wanted to use their free time to practice.

Therefore, Shi Zelan asked Shi Xiaoliu and others to come to the back mountain to collect spiritual grass. Originally, the six of them came together.

But after two times, only Shi Xiaoliu was left to accompany Shi Zelan to collect spiritual herbs during the holidays.

"Xiao Liu, didn't you make an appointment to come together today?"

"Sister Lan, I left early and didn't make an appointment with them."

After asking once or twice, Shi Zelan stopped asking.

Shi Xiaoliu secretly breathed a sigh of relief. When he came, he had naturally made appointments with five other people.

They were unwilling to come and advised Shi Xiaoliu not to waste time in Fangcaotang.

"Xiao Liu, even if Sister Lan is not good at cultivation, Master Fengyuan and Master Pingyang will protect her.

What do we have?
We can only cultivate with our heart, and we will do our best to accompany her once or twice. "

"Sister Lan asked us to go with her to the back mountain to collect spiritual herbs and send them to the Governor's Hall. She will also distribute spiritual stones to us."
