You cultivate immortality, I cultivate merit

Chapter 355 Very Proud

At dusk, the autumn wind blew the yellow leaves off the trees. The alchemist at the foot of the mountain had already walked three circles with a compass.

He finally shook his head at the people who had accompanied him: "It's a good place, but it won't help our future generations."

Shi Xiaoliu and the other two were standing at the edge of the mountain, looking down at the alchemist at the foot of the mountain. They watched him hold up the compass and walk around several times, and watched him shake his head again and again.

At the foot of the mountain, they have seen such scenes frequently recently and are no longer surprised.

The group turned around and left. Shi Xiaoliu sighed, "Groups of people come here one after another. Why don't they believe what the Taoist priest says?"

Xia Yu said calmly: "There is a gold mine here, and they always want to make some fortune for their descendants."

Shi Zelan said with some emotion: "Why can't they live in the present, but have to work so hard for the unknown future?"

The three of them turned and left the mountainside, and looked up at the sky almost at the same time. They saw a flying boat flying towards them quickly.

The flying boat landed on the top of the mountain, and Shi Xiaoliu and the other two happily went to greet it.

The head of the medicine pavilion looked around the top of the mountain and saw the residences of Master Decheng, Master Shanzheng and Master Qiyuan.

He sighed and said, "These three really know how to choose a good place for retreat."

Qi Cheng Zhenren had a somewhat proud look on his face: "After my brother came here last time, he immediately decided to practice in seclusion."

Master Pingyang looked at Shi Zelan and asked, "Sister Lan, how are you doing recently?"

Shi Zelan almost simultaneously asked Master Pingyang: "Young Master, are you okay?"

"Okay, I'm fine."

Shi Zelan looked at Master Pingyang's face and said, "Master Junior, I'm fine too. Do you need to rest for a few more days?"

"Nothing serious, just some time to relax and recuperate."

At night, Master Pingyang accompanied Shi Zelan to the roof, and Shi Zelan shared some experiences with him.

After hearing this, Pingyang Zhiren praised: "Lan Jieer, you did a good job.

Your father is also a man of courage and resolution."

Shi Zelan looked at him: "Little Master, is there still no news about my father and mother?"

Master Pingyang shook his head, then smiled and said, "They are fine."

Shi Zelan nodded and said, "Year after year, when they come back one day, will they dislike me?"

Master Pingyang looked at Shi Zelan and asked, "Are you worried that they won't like you?"

After Shi Zelan thought about it, he said, "I'm actually more worried that because of their dislike, Master, you, and Master Uncle will also dislike me."

"We won't. You are the child we raised."

Shi Zelan looked at him for a while and said, "Young Master, is it really because you have to take care of me that you are not willing to accept any disciples?"

After hearing what Shi Zelan said, Master Pingyang suddenly laughed: "With you, I feel that Zizai Peak has become more lively and life has become more interesting.

Whether we accept disciples or not is just a matter of time, and has nothing to do with you."

Shi Zelan looked at Master Pingyang for a while and asked, "Is the place where Master Uncle is in seclusion far from Master Ancestor?"

"It's too far. Your uncle wants to reach Nascent Soul stage. If we are too close, we will affect each other."

After hearing his words, Shi Zelan looked worriedly at the residences of Master Decheng, Master Shanzheng and Master Qiyuan on the top of the mountain.

"Young Master, will Master and the Masters influence each other now?"

"When they come out of retreat, they will each choose a place to form their golden elixir."

When Master Pingyang came, Shi Zelan felt the spiritual energy leaping around her when she was meditating at night. She was in a good mood and entered a good state of cultivation.

On the top of the mountain, spiritual energy rushed towards Shi Zelan's house. After the Pavilion Master and Zhenren Qicheng came out, they saw Zhenren Pingyang guarding near Shi Zelan's thatched cottage.

The Pavilion Master walked up to Master Pingyang and said with a sigh, “She is so happy that you are here.

The progress of cultivation, which had been stagnant for a long time, has finally made great progress.”

Master Pingyang looked at the Pavilion Master and said, "Uncle Master, is there really no way to solve her troubles?"

The Pavilion Master looked at him and shook his head deeply: "Ten years ago, the three of us, the headmaster, and your master, thought of many ways, but found that none of them was reliable.

When that person cursed Sister Lan, he made the most thorough arrangements.

I don't know how your junior brother and his wife offended him. This is really heartbreaking."

Master Pingyang sighed and said, "Over the years, we brothers have thought about it carefully, and we really don't know how Junior Brother has offended others?
Uncle, do you think he is jealous of Junior Brother's extraordinary talent and is trying to harm his daughter?"

“It’s possible, but unfortunately your junior brother has never returned to the sect.

If he had returned to the sect one day earlier, with his intelligence and wisdom, he might have been able to find out something."

"The longer it takes, the harder it will be to verify the situation."

That night, the Pavilion Master and Master Pingyang were talking in front of Shi Zelan's door. Master Qicheng stayed with them for a while and then went back into the room.

The Pavilion Master talked about the anger of the Sect Master after he learned the truth: "When the Sect Master was busy with the affairs of the Sect, he would meditate and practice in his spare time.

But we still can't find the person who murdered Lan Jie'er. I'm worried that if time goes on, the Sect Leader will be unable to resolve his worries, so I advise him to find an opportunity to practice in seclusion."

"It's a good thing that Lan Jie'er can practice, otherwise the fact that she was cursed would have become a knot in the hearts of everyone on Zizai Peak."

"Yes, this child has stepped into the threshold of cultivation. Your master and Master Fenghuang are very happy, but they are also worried and asked me to check on Sister Lan's condition."

"Master, have you personally checked on Sister Lan's condition?

But Lan Jieer told me that it was Master Decheng who was following her. "

“She’s not wrong.

I was secretly checking on her condition. She was sleeping soundly at the time, and I was afraid that even if she was taken away, she would not wake up.

Decheng has a good relationship with your senior brother, so it is the most appropriate arrangement for him to follow up on Lan Jie'er's situation.

People outside will only think that your elder brother cares too much about your younger nephew."

"Uncle Master, how is Sister Lan doing now?"

"The decision made by the Sect Master and your Master back then was not wrong. Taking her away from the sect will be of great benefit to her.

Even if others are willing, there is no way to keep track of Lan Jie'er's news all the time."

Master Pingyang secretly took a breath and asked, "Is that person very friendly with our sect?"

"Pingyang, don't make random guesses about people and things. This can easily ruin our friendship."

"Uncle Master, I just think that if this child is a little bit weak, he will never be able to embark on the path of cultivation in this life."

"She is a strong and good child. Your master was very proud when he mentioned her in front of us."

"Master, I have confidence in her.

She will definitely be able to break the curse on her."

The Pavilion Master and Master Pingyang saw the golden light flying into Shi Zelan's house almost at the same time, and they immediately stood guard at the side of the mountain in alert.
