You cultivate immortality, I cultivate merit

Chapter 393 Nodding Silently

"Sister Lan, are we still good friends?"

When Wanyu heard Shi Zelan's words, she started yelling.

Shi Zelan glanced at her and said, "Yes."

Wanyu moved closer to Shi Zelan and looked up: "I miss the hustle and bustle of the sect."

Shi Zelan glanced at her and said, "Is your master here to take you back to the sect this time?"

Wanyu nodded silently: "Sister Lan, I'm leaving, and you'll be alone here again."

Shi Zelan laughed and said, "When you are free, please pass some news to Xiaoliu. I can learn more about the sect from him."

"Okay, when I get back, I'll go find out about Master Feng Guan and Master Ming Hua."

Shi Zelan looked at her and shook her head and said, "Master Minghua has already gone into seclusion. You don't need to pay attention to what's going on between them."

"You don't want to know about that lover, do you?"

"If you hear any news casually, just pass it on to Xiaoliu, and don't go out of your way to inquire about their affairs."

"Well, I'm not stupid."

Shi Zelan felt much more at ease, and said to Wanyu: "You must practice well when you go back, and try to succeed in building your foundation before Xia Yu."

"Hahaha, Sister Lan, you have a lot of confidence in me."

Shi Zelan looked at her and smiled: "Yes, don't let me down."

At dusk on the second day, Master Qijun came and gave Shi Zelan two space bags. He also asked her, "Is there anything you want me to bring to the Sect Master?"

Shi Zelan silently took the two space bags and said to Master Qijun: "Uncle Master, I will give you a bag tomorrow."

Qijun Zhenren looked at Shi Zelan for a while and said, "The headmaster has saved your contribution points in the governor's hall, but they are not displayed for the time being."

Shi Zelan nodded silently: "I understand."

At dusk on the third day, Qijun Zhenren and his disciples left the top of the mountain, and Shi Xiaoliu and the other two stood at the edge of the mountain for a while.

The sky grew darker, and the three of them returned to sit under the eaves to talk.

"When she was here, I felt she was sometimes too noisy, and now that she's gone, she feels too quiet."

Shi Xiaoliu said with emotion, Shi Zelan glanced at him and said, "After she returns to the sect, she will often send you some news."

Shi Xiaoliu turned and looked at Shi Zelan: "That's the news you want to know."

"Yes, it feels too quiet right now, but after two or three days, I will get used to it again."

After hearing what Shi Zelan said, Xia Yu turned to look at Shi Xiaoliu and said, "Xiaoliu, when will your senior brother and second senior brother come to see you?"

"They said they'll see how things go next spring. In the meantime, the pharmacy has a lot of work to do."

"Then next spring will be more lively."

The three of them quickly dispersed and went back to their rooms to meditate and practice.

In the middle of the night, Shi Zelan's heart beat faster. She ran out quickly and saw the dazzling light from Master Shanzheng's residence.

She quickly took out the leaves and used them to cover the roof.

Shi Xiaoliu and Xia Yu walked out of the room and hurried to help cover up the light.

After they worked for a while, the three of them breathed a sigh of relief, and then saw that the light was gradually getting weaker.

Shi Xiaoliu and Xia Yu pointed at a hole with their fingers. The three of them leaned over to take a look and saw that the light quickly dimmed.

Shi Zelan said to Xia Yu: "Xia Yu, quickly send a message to Uncle Jun and ask what's going on?"

"Okay, don't panic."

When Master Qijun received the news, the master and his disciple immediately turned back.

The sky was bright, and Shi Xiaoliu and the other two sat on the roof looking at the residence of Master Shanzheng.

That night, the three of them took turns closing their eyes and resting for a while, but none of them dared to fall into a deep sleep. The sky was bright, and the residence of Master Shanzheng was only a light layer of golden light.

At the time of Shen, Master Qijun and his disciples returned, and Master Qijun checked on Master Shanzheng's condition.

He said to Shi Xiaoliu and the other two, "Good news, he will be released soon.

Wanyu and I will not be returning to the sect now. I will accompany you to wait for him to come out of seclusion."

"Uncle Jun, will this delay your work?"

"No, as long as I'm here, the sect won't arrange for anyone else to come."

With Master Qijun around, Shi Xiaoliu and the other two felt much more at ease.

Wanyu looked at the three of them and shook her head, “You three don’t look very happy.

My master is here, and I am back too, so you can go to sleep peacefully for now."

Shi Xiaoliu and the other two didn't want to sleep at this moment, so they sat on Shi Zelan's roof.

After a while, Master Qijun and Wanyu also went up to Shi Zelan's roof.

Master Qijun looked at Shi Zelan and said with a smile: "Sister Lan, I estimate that your master will come out of retreat at the earliest around the New Year."

"Uncle Master, what about slow?"

“I will be able to leave next year.”

Shi Xiaoliu looked at Master Decheng's residence with some concern, and said to Master Qijun, "In the past, when my master's residence was shining, my uncle's residence would be shining next."

"Xiao Liu, there's no rush."

After listening to Shi Xiaoliu's words, Master Qijun still paid attention to the changes in Master Decheng's residence. Of course, he also checked Master Qiyuan's residence.

However, for two consecutive days, there was no change in Master Decheng's residence, and Shi Xiaoliu felt a little more at ease.

Late at night on that day, light from Qi Yuan Zhenren's residence penetrated the clouds and woke up everyone on the top of the mountain.

Everyone hurriedly used leaves to cover the residence of Master Qiyuan, and went to check the residence of Master Shanzheng, and found that the light was gradually fading.

When they were about to go back to their rooms, Shi Xiaoliu's mind moved and he saw a shining light coming from Master Decheng's residence.

Everyone hurriedly covered up Master Decheng's residence. After waiting for a while, they found that the light in Master Decheng's residence was still dazzling.

Master Qijun asked the four children to go back to their rooms to rest, and he sat on his own roof to watch over the three people who were in seclusion.

This night passed peacefully.

On the second day, the light outside Master Decheng's residence gradually dimmed. When Master Qijun saw it, he breathed a sigh of relief.

He smiled and said to Shi Xiaoliu: "Xiaoliu, your master is about to come out of retreat."

Shi Xiaoliu smiled and nodded: "Uncle Master, I have been looking forward to Master coming out of retreat and successfully forming the golden elixir."

"Most definitely."

Master Qijun sent a message back to the sect, and soon news came from the sect that the eldest senior brother from the medicine pavilion would come over.

After hearing the news, Shi Xiaoliu became happy.

When the eldest senior brother from the medicine pavilion came, he first passed the message to Shi Xiaoliu.

Shi Xiaoliu told him that he could go directly to the top of the mountain because there was no barrier there.

At dusk, Master Qijun sat on the edge of a mountain and told the four children about his experiences in spiritual practice.

He saw a flying boat flying over the horizon, and immediately stood up and said to the four children, "Guests are coming."

Shi Xiaoliu and the other three stood up as well, and the eldest brother's flying boat quickly landed on the top of the mountain.

Master Qijun stood on the edge of the mountain and watched the four little ones running over happily.

The eldest brother took the flying boat, first saluted to Master Qijun, and then asked about the four younger ones with concern.
