You cultivate immortality, I cultivate merit

Chapter 478: There is not much surprise on his face

On the second day, the officers and soldiers were stationed on the official road again, while the mountain of gold piled up on the other side of the gold mine was still sinking.

On the fifth day, the piled mountain stopped sinking, but the peak turned into a slope.

Xia Yu and Shi Zelan went to the gold mine and found that it was well guarded.

They never entered the gold mine again, but chose to return to the top of the mountain to meditate and practice.

At night, Master Shanzheng and Master Qicheng talked about what they encountered during their travels, and Xia Yu and Shi Zelan listened to them recounting those experiences with excitement on their faces.

Shi Zelan and Xia Yu lamented: "Xiao Liu has missed a lot of good times."

Xia Yu laughed when she heard her words: "Sister Lan, Xiao Liu has been to the Northern Wilderness."

Shi Zelan was speechless and said to Xia Yu, "We must intensify our cultivation. We are already foundation-building cultivators now. If there is any trouble in the sect in the future, we must rush to the front."

At the foot of the mountain, people in the nearby villages were very happy because the soldiers had returned.

The soldiers guarding the official road did not withdraw until the New Year.

It’s another New Year in the mortal world, and four people on the top of the mountain are practicing.

Another spring has arrived, the grass is green, and there are people who want to climb the mountain again, but they are directly persuaded to give up by the officers and soldiers.

Xia Yu and Shi Zelan went to the gold mine and found that the officers and soldiers had piled up the hillside into a mountain and planted trees on it.

At dusk, Xia Yu and Shi Zelan came out of the gold mine. When they passed by the mountain, they both used spiritual planting techniques to allow the tree roots to grow and take root quickly.

They returned to the top of the mountain and saw Master Decheng and Shi Xiaoliu. Xia Yu happily reached out and patted Shi Xiaoliu's chest.

"Xiao Liu, have you consolidated your realm now?"

Shi Xiaoliu nodded, and then smiled at Shi Zelan who was rushing over and said, "Sister Lan, my master and I are going to Shi Family Manor in a few days."

After hearing what he said, Shi Zelan quickly turned to look at Master Shanzheng and said, "Master, can I go back to Shijiazhuang?"

Seeing the twinkle in her eyes, Master Shanzheng thought for a moment and said, "You can go back, but don't show it in front of others."

Shi Zelan nodded vigorously: "I just want to pay my respects to my grandfather. As for others, I just look at them from a distance, that's enough."

Shi Xiaoliu listened to Shi Zelan's words, and he explained in a low voice: "I can only go back quietly to see my family. In all likelihood, I won't alarm them."

Xia Yu listened to what they said and said to Master Qicheng, "Uncle, I want to see Shijiazhuang too."

"I will stay at the top of the mountain. Can you please ask your uncle for permission?"

After listening to Xia Yu and Shi Zelan's request, Master Decheng discussed with Master Shanzheng and Master Qicheng and said, "Okay, you two can go together."

Shanzheng Zhenren said to Shi Zelan, "Sister Lan, when you are away from home, you should listen more to your uncle's advice."

Shi Zelan nodded vigorously: "Master, don't worry, I have never been the kind of person who would take the initiative to cause trouble."

Zhenren Shanzheng and Zhenren Qicheng stayed on the top of the mountain. Zhenren Decheng and Shi Xiaoliu rested on the top of the mountain for two days, and then they left the top of the mountain with Xia Yu and Shi Zelan.

On the side of the mountain, Master Shanzheng and Master Qicheng watched the flying boat fly across the sky before they both looked away.

"Brother, are you really comfortable with Sister Lan going to such a far place?"

"Beautiful flowers cannot grow in a greenhouse. Sooner or later, she will have to go out and travel. Now that Senior Brother Decheng is looking after her, I feel at ease."

"I'm actually not too sure about Yu'er, but if my brother hadn't been in seclusion, he would definitely approve of Yu'er's trip." Xia Yu and Shi Zelan were sitting on the flying boat, and they were in a very good mood.

In the evening of that day, they rested in the forest.

The next day, Master Decheng and his disciples went to pick medicinal herbs, and Xia Yu and Shi Zelan also expressed considerable interest, after all, they did not have much gold and silver left.

Over the next few days, they picked a lot of herbs, dried them, and sold them directly to local pharmacies in exchange for a small amount of silver.

After Xia Yu and Shi Zelan asked Shi Xiaoliu, they learned that this place was rich in medicinal herbs, so the prices of herbs were generally not high.

That night, Shi Xiaoliu asked Master Decheng, "Master, are you willing to accompany us on this journey?"

Master Decheng smiled and nodded, saying, "You are all foundation-building cultivators now, so you should see more of the sinister things happening in the outside world."

"Master, the three of us actually understand the principles behind this, and with Master accompanying us, we won't encounter any dangerous situations."

"I didn't think you would encounter any dangerous things. I just wanted you to see more things."

Shi Xiaoliu told Shi Zelan and Xia Yu what he had heard. Shi Zelan said to Shi Xiaoliu, "Master, you think that if we sit on the top of the mountain and meditate for a long time, it will be bad for our state of mind, right?"

Xia Yu agreed with Shi Zelan's words, and he really wanted to go out for a walk, so he said happily: "Sister Lan, it's great.

Xiaoliu has been out of Kyushu, but we have never been to a place farther away."

Shi Zelan looked at Shi Xiaoliu and said with a smile: "Brother Xiaoliu, have you asked Master Uncle about his long-term plans for our trip?"

Shi Xiaoliu said unhappily: "Go ask yourself."

Shi Zelan turned around and asked Master Decheng: "Uncle Master, after you took us out of Jiuzhou this time, do you want Xiaoliu to know more about medicinal herbs?"

"I want you to know more about medicinal herbs. Don't think that the herbs in the mortal world are useless to us practitioners. In fact, if used properly, the herbs in the mortal world are also very effective."

"Uncle, I understand. I will learn how to identify herbs from you and Brother Six.

Uncle Master, we are not in a hurry to go to Shijiazhuang this time, right? "

"Won't.

You and Xiaoliu have been out for so long, and it is not suitable for you to go back to Shijiazhuang now.

Let us travel around outside for a few more years, and then you can return to Shijiazhuang with confidence."

Shi Zelan looked at Shi Xiaoliu who was talking to Xia Yu not far away, then turned to Master Decheng and said, "Uncle Master, does my master know that we will be away for several years?"

"He knows now and agrees with my decision."

Shi Zelan looked at him in surprise: "Uncle Master, I remember when we came out, you wanted to take us directly back to Shijiazhuang?

Uncle Master, you changed your itinerary because something else happened on the top of the mountain after we left?"

Master Decheng looked at her and nodded: "On the third day after we left, some disciples from the sect passed through Yangzhou Prefecture and went to the top of the mountain."

"Uncle Master, they won't leave the top of the mountain in the near future?"

"Sister Lan, your master wants you to see more things outside so that your mind will be more open."

Shi Zelan nodded: "Uncle Master, I will follow your arrangements."

Shi Zelan turned around and told Xia Yu and Shi Xiaoliu the news. After hearing it, Shi Xiaoliu did not look surprised at all.
