You cultivate immortality, I cultivate merit

Chapter 423 Discussing some important things in life
In the snowy weather, Master Qicheng seemed to be worried as he paced back and forth in the open space.

Xia Yu approached him and said, "Uncle, if you have something to do, just go and do it."

Qicheng Zhenren sighed and asked, "It's okay, I just want to walk slowly like this for a while.

I will go for a walk in the mountains and get some fresh air later."

Xia Yu didn't bother him anymore. He turned and went to the side of the mountain, where he saw Shi Zelan standing there watching the people going up the mountain nearby.

Xia Yu looked over and saw those familiar people again.

Shi Zelan turned around and smiled at him, then whispered, "Your uncle seems to have a lot on his mind, why don't you go ask him?"

"I asked him, and he said he was fine."

"But we all saw that something was wrong with him. Is it related to what happened in the Northern Wilderness?"

"Why did you think of Beihuang?"

“If there is a happy event in your family, you will definitely receive good news.

If something happens in the sect, your family will definitely send you a message.

I think something happened in the Northern Wilderness, and it was a big thing, so my master couldn’t get here for a while.”

"Sister Lan, if I send a message to Xiaoliu, will he tell me the truth?"

"No, he won't tell us the truth, because even if we rush over, I'm afraid we can't help."

“I think my uncle wants to go to the Northern Wilderness, but he’s thinking about the two of us.

Hey, where's your pendant?"

Shi Zelan reached out and touched the lapel, then reached into the sleeve and took out a red jade pendant: “Here, it’s a little naughty.”

Xia Yu reached out and pinched it: "It is this, it has changed its appearance again."

Shi Zelan smiled and nodded, saying, "It is very good at finding fun for itself."

"Sister Lan, what do you think? I'll go talk to my uncle and let him take care of his own business. What do you think?"

"Very good, I will go and make the talisman.

Your uncle mentioned that I should refine the talisman, so I will try to use up the materials I have."

Shi Zelan turned around and went back to the eaves. She was drawing the talisman very seriously. Xia Yu stood in the open space and watched her for a while.

"Sister Lan, can I draw some formation diagrams and make talismans for you?"

"Okay, when you finish the painting, just send it over."

Shi Zelan spoke without even raising her head, and Xia Yu hurried back to her own roof.

At noon, Master Qicheng returned to the top of the mountain and saw Xia Yu and Shi Zelan busy at work.

He immediately asked them happily: "Do you have enough materials?"

"Uncle, I don't have much material left."

"Uncle Master, I don't have much materials left."

"Good, good, good."

After Master Qicheng said "OK" three times in a row, he said, "Sister Lan, put the refined talisman into a space bag. I will return to the sect in two days."

"OK.

Uncle Master, I have already filled a space bag, I will give it to you now."

Shi Zelan took out a space bag and handed it to Master Qicheng. After he received it, he asked, "Sister Lan, do you need any other skills?"

Shi Zelan thought about it seriously and said, "Uncle Master, I don't need any skills for the time being."

The next morning, when Shi Zelan woke up, she heard from Xia Yu that Master Qicheng had returned to the sect yesterday.

Shi Zelan felt a little depressed after hearing this, and said to Xia Yu: "Can you help me send a message to my master?" "Okay.

Sister Lan, what news do you want to tell your master?"

"I want to talk to my master and ask him what he needs most right now."

"Sister Lan, do you think that the Northern Wasteland is in the midst of a war now?"

Shi Zelan nodded: "If it was just some small-scale war, your uncle wouldn't be so disturbed."

Xia Yu's expression became serious, and he said to Shi Zelan, "Yes, my uncle is not someone who cannot handle things.

And if it was a normal time, my uncle wouldn't have to accompany us on the top of the mountain."

"Yes, we are not incapable of protecting ourselves.

It’s that the elders are worried that someone will come and attack us.”

Xia Yu and Shi Zelan carefully checked the protective measures on the top of the mountain again, and they soon discovered that Master Qicheng had added an extra layer of protection.

Master Qicheng was not on the top of the mountain, and Xia Yu and Shi Zelan had no intention of going out for a stroll. Besides meditating and practicing, they would go to the bottom of the valley to fight.

It was late at night and there was no one at the bottom of the valley. Xia Yu and Shi Zelan fought comfortably at the bottom of the valley, but they damaged some things.

A heavy snowfall would quickly cover up all traces of their presence.

In the dead of night, the soldiers guarding the official road could vaguely hear the sound of swords.

But when they listened carefully, they heard the roaring sound of wind and snow.

Five days later, Master Qicheng returned to the top of the mountain, and Xia Yu and Shi Zelan had to give up their hobby of going to the valley floor late at night to practice swordplay.

Xia Yu and Shi Zelan clearly felt that Master Qicheng was in a good mood. He was even in the mood to stand on the edge of the mountain and admire the people going up the mountain nearby.

When he saw others fall, he would burst into laughter.

“Hahaha, this guy is really good. He fell several times but still insisted on climbing the mountain.”

"Uncle, they've already gone up the mountain. We can't have come here for nothing."

"Oh, I went to the other side of the mountain last time and found that the gold mine seemed to have moved far inland, and the exit was no longer on this side."

“Uncle, they are coming in and out from the other end now.

If not so many people went up the mountain, I am afraid that the officers and soldiers on the official road would have turned to guard the other side. "

"I see they seem to be going down the mountain from this side. Is it not convenient to go down the mountain from that side?"

"It takes an extra hour to go down the mountain over there and then go to the town than it does to go down the mountain over here and then go to the town."

"Oh, once that side becomes prosperous, they won't turn around and go down the mountain."

"I'm afraid this side won't be deserted either. The mountain dwellers inside have recently moved here."

"I'm afraid the mountain people won't have an easy life after they come down from the mountains."

When Shi Zelan reached the edge of the mountain, Master Qicheng and Xia Yu were already discussing ways to resettle the mountain residents.

"Uncle Master, Xia Yu, didn't you say you wouldn't interfere in the affairs of the mortal world?"

Master Qicheng glanced at Shi Zelan and said, "We are not interfering in the affairs of the secular world. We are just discussing some important matters in life."

Xia Yu agreed, "Yes, we will have to take on missions when we return to the sect.

Now let’s take a closer look at how the officials in the secular world do things, so that we can learn more about how to handle things.”

Shi Zelan listened to Xia Yu's words and asked him a soul-searching question: "Xia Yu, you studied in the capital, and you also studied in the south. Now that you are here, you still say you are still studying.

To what extent do you want to learn before you consider yourself a master?"

Qi Cheng Zhenren looked at Xia Yu and asked curiously, "Xia Yu, are you going to be the head of the sect in the future?"

Xia Yu quickly shook his head: "No, I don't want to be the headmaster, absolutely not. I want to practice hard, and I want to ascend to heaven in the future."
