You cultivate immortality, I cultivate merit

Chapter 33 Focus
Spring goes and autumn comes, and year after year passes.

When Shi Zelan, who was in his golden age, pointed his sword at the waterfall, he could already bring out a hint of sword intent.

"Pah, pah, pah, okay, I have the sword spirit today. Keep working hard and practice your sword."
Master Pingyang clapped his hands a few times encouragingly, and Shi Zelan shook the moisture off his clothes.

She looked at him and said, "Little uncle, you have been praising me like this for several days."

"To be honest, you are making progress every day."

Shi Zelan is indeed making slight progress every day. She has now reached the ninth level in the second phase of Qi refining.

After discussion with Master Fang Cheng and Master Ping Yang, they decided not to hide Shi Zelan's true cultivation level from the outside.

The thoughtful people in the sect soon learned that Shi Zelan was now at the second stage of Qi Refining.

Suddenly, many people appeared outside the lecture hall, and they observed Shi Zelan very carefully.

Naturally, Shi Zelan heard some not-so-pleasant voices: "At such an old age, she is in the second stage of Qi Refining. Others, like Sister Wanyu, are already in the fourth and fifth stages of Qi Refining, and they haven't publicized anything outside."

In the past two years, the sect has recruited new disciples, and Wanyu is the most outstanding one, and is even better than Xia Yu in terms of cultivation.

Wanyu's father and Xia's father were friends. After she came to the sect, Xia Yu also took good care of her.

After going back and forth, Xia Yu had a sweet and charming sister beside her.

But every time Xia Yu saw Shi Zelan, there was no one around him, so Shi Zelan never had the chance to see Wanyu.

When Shi Zelan heard people mention Wanyu, he became more and more interested in her.

Xia Yu was really happy for Shi Zelan and took the opportunity to come and talk to Shi Zelan.

"Junior sister Shi, your efforts over the years have not been in vain."

Shi Zelan's eyebrows were curved and she was about to tell him about the hard work of practicing swordsmanship when she heard someone calling Xia Yu delicately: "Brother Xia Yu."

When she raised her eyes, she saw a little beauty with a clear and white face. Her eyes flickered and looked at Xia Yu, with a look of grievance in her eyes.

At the same time, Wanyu saw Shi Zelan, who was looking at her with a smile, her lips pursed, and her skin was as white as freshly peeled water chestnuts.

When Xia Yu wasn't paying attention, she glared at Shi Zelan fiercely.

She came over and reached out to hold Xia Yu's hand, but Xia Yu frowned and dodged it. She quickly leaned over and took Xia Yu's arm.

This time, Xia Yu hesitated for a moment and let her hold her arm.

She stamped her feet very coquettishly and said: "Brother Xia Yu, if there is such a sister, you will ignore me."

Shi Zelan reached out and stroked her arm. In her many years in the sect, she had never met such a coquettish and soft female monk.

Shi Zelan suddenly had no interest in making friends with the legendary Wanyu.

She took a step aside, nodded to Xia Yu, and walked forward. "

"Hey, why are you leaving? Brother Xia Yu, did I say something wrong?"

Shi Zelan's footsteps became faster and faster. After leaving the door of the lecture hall, she went directly back to Fangcaotang.

Lu Lingyu came out and said in a low voice: "Fellow Taoist Bachun has been here for a while."

Years ago, after Shi Bachun came back from traveling outside, she often came to Fangcaotang to visit Shi Zelan.

Shi Bachun seemed to have some unexplainable worries when he went out this time.

Shi Zelan asked Shi Bachun tentatively, and she said that this trip was a bit tiring.

Therefore, Shi Zelan asked Lu Lingyu to chat with Shi Bachun more when she came to Fangcaotang.

After a long time, Shi Zelan asked Lu Lingyu: "Has my eighth aunt told you that she needs help?"

Lu Lingyu looked a little confused. Shi Zelan was too young. She really didn't know how to talk to Shi Zelan about Shi Bachun's troubled thoughts. Shi Zelan misunderstood: "Although the master is not in the sect, the senior uncle and the junior uncle are in the sect.

As long as Bagu doesn't do anything that harms the sect, her uncles will be willing to stand up for her. "

In the past few years, Zhenjun Fengyuan has never returned to the sect, and the gate of Zizaifeng has been much neglected.

But with Master Fang Cheng and Master Ping Yang around, the people in the sect treated Shi Zelan relatively well.

As for the fights between the children, Shi Zelan never took it to heart. Anyway, they didn't dare to name her and say bad things.

Lu Lingyu smiled and said: "No, Bachun is a decent person, she is worried about her cultivation progress."

"Oh, then I can't help her, my own cultivation is more difficult than Bachungu.

Please give her some advice when you have time. My junior uncle said that her current skills are very good. If she continues to practice, she can strive to build a foundation before she turns 100. "

After Lu Lingyu was silent for a while, she said to Shi Zelan: "Sister Lan, do you want to take a look at the exercises I practice?"

After listening to her words, Shi Zelan reacted in a moment: "Do you want to change your practice method?"

Lu Lingyu shook his head: "The steward said that the technique I am practicing now is quite suitable for me."

“My cultivation level is lower than yours, so I can’t give you any advice in this regard.

Since the steward said so, do you want to continue practicing for a few more years? "

Lu Lingyu was also in a hurry and went to the doctor: "Sister Lan, what you said makes sense.

I've been feeling restless these days, no wonder I haven't made any progress in cultivation. "

After all, Lu Lingyu didn't mention to Shi Zelan what Shi Bachun was really struggling with.

But she reminded Shi Bachun and told her that Shi Zelan was a little worried about her current situation.

When Shi Bachun came back, he had adjusted his mood well.

Shi Zelan looked at her: "Bachungu, are you in a good mood now?"

"Okay, I have figured it out now. I still have to concentrate on practicing, but I can't turn my mind to other things."

Shi Zelan felt relieved and told her about Shi Xiaoliu's situation.

Shi Bachun laughed after hearing this: "He told me that he would step up his practice and strive to reach the fifth stage of Qi refining by the age of thirty-five."

"Ha, ha, ha, Bagu, I think it's not difficult for Xiaoliu.

His current technique is very suitable for him, and he is already at the fourth and sixth level of Qi Refining. "

When Shi Bachun heard Shi Zelan's words, a look of pride flashed in his eyes.

She looked at Shi Zelan, who was smiling, and remembered that she had heard news that the ancestor of the Lou family was not in good condition.

From the look on Shi Zelan's face now, she probably hadn't heard the bad news about the ancestor of the Lou family.

A few years ago, news spread throughout the sect that the ancestor of the Lou family was dying.

As a result, the old man took the elixir sent by his family members and his life was extended again.

Shi Bachun was outside at that time. When she came back, she heard the good news that the ancestor of the Lou family was okay again.

She quietly asked Lu Lingyu if the Lou family had ever come to ask for news about Shi Zelan?
Lu Lingyu shook his head silently, and Shi Bachun sighed: "That's good, our Shi family doesn't have to worry about others coming to snatch our children."

Shi Zelan was now focusing on his studies. When he saw Shi Bachun smiling, he said to her, "Ba Gu, sit down for a while, I'm going to do my homework."
