Immortal Journey

Chapter 9 Picking Three-line Fruits
Ren Lingfu pushed open the door, and was taken aback by Zhong Yu and Huang Hetian who were leaning on the porch, waiting one to the left and one to the right, and hurriedly said good morning, "Senior Brother Zhong, Senior Brother Huang, good morning!"

Huang Hetian smiled faintly at Ren Ling, and responded early, but Zhong Yu raised his eyebrows, looked up and down at Fan Renling, and did not speak.
"Junior Sister Ling, have you had breakfast?" Huang Hetian saw Zhong Yu standing up straight and walking forward, he raised his legs to follow and asked Ren Ling at the same time.
Ren Ling was about two years younger than these two boys, and she was a girl, so she was quite a bit shorter in stature. Seeing that the two senior brothers had long legs and were walking fast, she trotted all the way to follow Up, "Breakfast? Ling'er has eaten the Bigu Pill and is not hungry. Are the two senior brothers going to eat now?"

"Cultivators of immortals have to get used to feeding grains. We have also eaten Bigu pills, so we don't plan to go to the cafeteria." It was still Huang Hetian who answered Ren Ling's question gently, "It's just that when I was waiting outside your door just now, I didn't seem to feel that the There is a smell in it, and I thought you went out for breakfast, so I have this question."

The speaker has no intention, but the listener has the heart.
Huang Hetian's words were not easy to thunder in Ren Ling's ears. It seems that he can't stay in Mo Yujian for too long in the future. If the brothers are worried that she will go directly into her room today, how can she have the secret of Mo Yujian? Won't it be discovered?
For such a supreme treasure as Mo Yujian, although Ren Ling can't get a glimpse of it for the time being, he also secretly knows in his heart that it can't be known at will.
My mother said that the strong are respected in the world of cultivating immortals. Although most cultivators will try to reduce killing in order to avoid excessive demons when they advance to the next level, if they burn, kill and plunder them under sufficient benefits and temptations, they will be able to do so. Definitely decisive.
All the way, they thought about each other carefully and told themselves, and the three of them soon arrived at the lecture hall where they met yesterday. After the seniors and brothers and sisters said good morning to each other, a woman in a light purple jade robe came in just a short time. "My name is Zuo Piaopiao, and I will be your teaching deacon from today on. You can call me Uncle Zuo."

Cultivation of Immortals is not based on age. This is very different from the common customs of ordinary people. Disciples in the Qi training period call each other brothers and sisters, while disciples in the foundation building period are at the level of master uncles in the Qi training period. At the alchemy stage, it must be honored as master.
It is also very easy to distinguish seniority in Yin Lingmen, because different sects of different generations will issue different Taoist uniforms. The Taoist uniforms during the Qi training period are pure white and simple in style. Only the cuffs of the Taoist clothing are distinguished by different colors The mountain peaks they belong to, for example, Lanxiu Peak's cuffs are bordered with blue silk thread, while Qi Nufeng's cuffs are bordered with golden silk thread. In the Foundation Establishment Stage, Taoist uniforms are light purple jade gowns, with brocade belts around the waist, and the style is much more beautiful.
Although this Zuo Piaopiao is wearing a Taoist robe of the same color as He Yue, her temperament is completely different from He Yue. If He Yue is an elegant lotus, then this Zuo Piaopiao is a fiery red rose.
I saw that her snow-white skin was even more crystal clear under the light purple jade robe, and her high waist highlighted her plump and soft figure, exuding a charming aura from her whole body. She walked slowly along the Walking in front of the row of disciples, the bright red Kou Dan slid across Zhou Shanshan's cheek, and stroked Tong Yu'er's fine hair. Although her movements were slow, everyone could not help but feel the coercion of the foundation-building monks. Involuntarily began to tremble.
"Ha ha…"

Seeing everyone nervously looking at their hearts, Zuo Piaopiao put away the coercion he had just released,
"Everyone, don't be nervous. Uncle Zuo, I don't want to talk nonsense about those big truths. Since the unified course arranged by the sect will start on the fifth day of next month, you only need to complete the tasks in the peak half a month from now. OK..."

Everyone nodded when they heard the words, relaxed a little, and said in unison, "My nephew knows."

"But..." Zuo Piaopiao suddenly released the coercion again. Seeing that everyone had just breathed a sigh of relief and was overwhelmed by the aura, she laughed tremblingly, "If you thought it would be easy to complete the mission in the peak, then You are - big - wrong - very wrong."

"Starting today, you will go to the back mountain in groups of three to pick [-] three-line fruits every day. If you can't complete the task, you will stay in the back mountain and not come back. Are you clear? Huh?"

The back mountain mentioned by Zuo Piaopiao is not too far from the Lecture Hall, it takes about half an hour to walk there.
The back mountain was full of three-line fruit trees all over the mountains, and after the nine senior brothers and sisters arrived panting, they roughly divided them into three large areas and went into the woods separately.
Each three-line fruit tree is two feet high, and the canopy is heavily covered with three-line fruit. The green leaves are red and yellow in the middle, which is really beautiful.As the name suggests, each small fruit plant is composed of three fruits, the middle fruit is red, the fruits on both sides are yellow, and there is a thin white thread connecting the three fruits, so it is called Sanxian fruit.

Sanxian fruit is one of the main medicines of a kind of nourishing pill secretly made by Yin Lingmen. The picking is very particular. First, two men and one woman must participate in the picking. The woman picks the red fruit, and the man picks the yellow fruit. The most difficult thing is that the three people must Touch the body of the fruit at the same time to remove the fruit. If the timing of the three people is different, the fruit will wilt instantly after leaving the branch, and the medicinal effect will be lost.

The three of them walked under a fruit tree. Huang Hetian and Zhong Yu jumped up and climbed up the tree lightly. One of them chose a thicker branch, and then looked at Ren Ling under the tree together.

Ren Ling's current cultivation level is the third level of Qi training. Although it is said that she has stepped into the threshold of the cultivation world, her level is actually comparable to that of ordinary warriors in the mortal world. Her body is lighter and her strength is longer. He has never practiced martial arts, so in terms of lightness kung fu, he is not as good as a mortal martial artist.If you have reached the fourth level of Qi training, you can start to learn some small spells, such as lightness, fireball, condensation, etc. Lightness is more than one or two levels higher than the lightness kung fu in the mortal world. It is even easier to use it to climb big trees.

It's just that these are abilities that can only be acquired after the cultivation base has increased. Today's Ren Ling, looking at the three-line fruit tree towering into the sky with the two people hugging each other, is really tangled like a dark cloud covering the top.

It doesn't look difficult, Ren Ling cheered herself up in her heart, raised her face and carefully observed the rough knots on the trunk, as long as she clung to these knots and climbed up to the shortest branch, she would be fine. That's it, squinting her eyes and estimated that there were three branches as tall as hers, Ren Ling rolled up her sleeves and began to climb the tree.

Although she was pampered by Ren's family since she was a child, she did not develop Ren Ling's arrogant, self-willed and dependent character, so when she faced something she had never done before, she did not feel any discomfort, nor did she want to learn from others. She asked for help there, but followed what her mother taught her since she was a child, to be calm when encountering problems, face and complete her own affairs independently.

With a petite and flexible body, she quickly mastered the key points of climbing trees, and climbed up the target branch with both hands and feet.

"Brother, shall we start picking fruit?" The little face was flushed, and the big star-like eyes contained a little joy of success, but soon became calm and serious.

Zhong Yu nodded noncommittally, and Huang Hetian took out a jade box measuring one foot long and two inches square from the storage bag, "The three-line fruit must be kept fresh and plump after picking, so that it will not lose its miraculous effect after being used as medicine."
