You cultivate immortality, I cultivate merit

It's sunny in spring.

The Yunyan Sect held a celebration for the two Jindan Zhenren of the Lingshou Sect, and the sect was bustling with people coming and going.

Shi Zelan breathed a sigh of relief. On such a busy day, Master Fengguan finally didn't come to knock on the door of her cave.

Shi Zelan met old friends in the cave, and they all laughed and talked about their experiences since they last met.

True Man Qingxia of Beihuang looked at Shi Zelan with envy: "That's great, you don't have to think about marriage."

Shi Zelan looked at her in surprise: "You are already a Jindan Zhenren, who can force you to marry?"

True Man Qingxia smiled bitterly and said, “Not now.

Before, our sect elders hoped that each of us could meet a disciple from a big sect and have a happy marriage. "

"Are there many female cultivators coming from your sect this time?"

"more than ten."

"Do they all want to practice with all their heart?"

Qingxia Zhenren was stunned for a moment, looked at Shi Zelan for a while and said, "Yes, I don't want to get married.

Other female cultivators may be hoping to meet a good man and find a good relationship."

Shi Zelan smiled: "In fact, they have the opportunity to meet their ideal partners in our sect and have a happy marriage. I also think it is a good thing."

True Man Qingxia smiled and said, "I actually understand why the elders in the sect want us to marry into a big sect. First, it will allow the two sects to have a closer relationship.

Secondly, they hope that we can come to a large sect to study and live a better life through marriage."

Shi Zelan looked at her with a smile: "Are you feeling better now?"

Not long after True Man Qingxia left, Shi Zelan's cave welcomed a new guest.

"Master Zelan, my sister has a kind nature. She doesn't want to get married, she just wants to meet a good man."

Shi Zelan looked at the person who came, smiled and nodded, saying: "I won't interfere with the cause and effect of others."

The man breathed a sigh of relief and said to Shi Zelan with a red face, "Master Zelan, can my junior sister and I still come to you to ask you for advice on cultivation?"

“We learn from each other.

I welcome you to come.”

Shi Zelan had just seen off this guest when she saw Shi Xiaoliu coming over with three guests.

She looked up at Shi Xiaoliu, and he said, "The task assigned by the governor."

Shi Zelan also called Shi Xiaoliu and his group of four, and then everyone sat together and talked about their understanding of the cultivation methods.

By the evening, the courtyard of Shi Zelan's cave residence was already full of people.

At this time, someone shared his experience of failing ninety-nine times in refining pills. Shi Zelan glanced at Shi Xiaoliu, who was listening very attentively.

It was night and the people in Shi Zelan's yard dispersed.

Shi Xiaoliu passed a message to Shi Zelan: "You continue to help greet the friends who come to congratulate you tomorrow."

Shi Zelan could only nod, and turned to Shi Zejiao who was walking behind her and said, "Junior sister, do you have anything to do tomorrow?"

Shi Zejiao shook her head, and Shi Zelan smiled and said, "Then come and keep me company tomorrow."

Shi Zejiao nodded happily. She came to help after noon today after hearing about how lively Shi Zelan's place was.

On the second day, Shi Zelan and Shi Zejiao went to pay their respects to Lou Xueyu. Lou Xueyu smiled and said, "Sister Lan, your cave received many friends of the same path yesterday."

Shi Zelan smiled and said: "The friends brought by Xiaoliu, while everyone was talking and chatting, attracted new friends.

Fortunately, my junior sister rushed over and helped me greet the guests. "

"Sister Lan, if you have something to do, just tell Jiao'er to do it."

Shi Zelan nodded and said to Lou Xueyu, "Mother, the steward is here to look for me. I'm going to see him."

After Lou Xueyu acquiesced, Shi Zelan quickly passed the message to the steward of Zizai Peak. When the steward saw Shi Zelan, he smiled and said, "Sister Lan, I originally wanted you to help greet the guests from Zizai Peak.

As a result, there are a lot of people in your cave."

When Shi Zelan faced the steward, he immediately smiled: "Uncle, if there are many guests at the peak gate, I will guard the peak gate today."

The steward shook his head at her: "The Peak Master is in seclusion. If the people who came are his long-time friends, they just came here to stand for a while.

As for other people who come here because of your reputation, I will arrange for them to go to your cave and let you receive them, how about that? "

"it is good."

Shi Zelan readily agreed, and asked the steward with concern: "Uncle, I heard from Xiaoliu that you took the tonic pill from the medicine cabinet.

Are you all right? "

"it is good.

The elixir I took was to reward outer disciples. I don't leave the sect, so I don't need any elixir."

"Uncle, Xiaoliu didn't mean anything else, please don't mind it."

"I know, he cares about me too.

Sister Lan, if you need anything, just come to me."

When Shi Zelan left, the steward stood on the mountain and watched her back.

On this day, many guests came to Shi Zelan's cave, and everyone was willing to share the setbacks they encountered during their cultivation.

Shi Zejiao waited for a whole day and all she heard were stories of failure.

At night, when everyone had left, Shi Zejiao asked Shi Zelan in confusion: "Senior Sister, why are they discussing their experience of failure in your cave?"

"Perhaps it's because I once encountered something that almost prevented me from practicing, and they empathized with me on this point."

Shi Zejiao sighed: "They are all very generous. If I fail, I will definitely cover it up."

"Hahaha, I used to be like this too, always worried that others would laugh at me."

"Senior sister, you had a very hard time in the past."

“It’s not difficult, those days were just as happy.

My grandmaster and uncles all love me very much. They only encourage me and never discourage me. "

"My father was much more encouraging in his teachings to me and my brother, while my mother used to be stricter in disciplining us."

"When I was in the mortal world, I heard that one parent must be kind and the other strict in order to teach their children well."

“A few days ago, my mother told me that my brother and I were very naughty when we were young.

At that time, we were on the run, so she had to be strict with us."

"I heard from people that it was very difficult for you, and there were several times when you almost couldn't come back."

“My brother is older than me and he knows more. He said that my father had explained things to him several times.

If he and mother are gone, we must find a way back to the sect.

As long as we return to the sect, we won’t have to worry about anything.”

Shi Zelan looked at Shi Zejiao: "I'm glad you're back home."

"Yes.

Sister, it feels so good to be home.

My father told my brother and me that if our master came out of retreat and saw us, he would be very happy too.”

Shi Zelan smiled and nodded, while Shi Zejiao looked up at the sky.

She quickly said to Shi Zelan: "Senior sister, it's getting late. I'm going home. I will come early tomorrow." (End of this chapter)
