Seeking Immortality

"Ting'er, come to my room."

After returning to his house, Xu Qingfan suddenly remembered something and spoke to Ting'er outside the house.

After a while, Ting'er obediently walked to Xu Qingfan's house and stood silently in front of Xu Qingfan. But she didn't lower her head as soon as she arrived in front of Xu Qingfan like before. Instead, she straightened her head and silently looked at Xu Qingfan in front of her. There was some doubt in her eyes, as if she was thinking about Xu Qingfan's purpose of calling her into the room alone.

Ever since she broke up with Xu Qingfan, Ting'er no longer only dared to look up and silently look at Xu Qingfan's back when standing behind Xu Qingfan like before. But when Xu Qingfan turned around, she quickly lowered her head. Go, I don't dare or don't want to look directly into Xu Qingfan's eyes.

But now, Ting'er could raise her head in front of Xu Qingfan and meet Xu Qingfan's eyes.

After looking at Ting'er in front of him for a while, Xu Qingfan pondered for a moment and said slowly: "Ting'er, when you and Master Liu went down the mountain to find all kinds of materials needed for me to use the secret method, I think you had a profound impact on the world of cultivation and even the world at that time. Do you understand the chaos in the secular world?"

Ting'er's eyes were filled with doubts. She didn't know why Xu Qingfan suddenly asked these questions, but she also knew the confusion Xu Qingfan was talking about. Although she was cold-hearted, the various scenes she encountered when she and Liu Huaxiang went down the mountain still made Ting'er confused. She couldn't help being frightened, but Ting'er was only concerned about Xu Qingfan from the beginning to the end. The fright was just a fright, but it was forgotten in the blink of an eye. For her, the pain, sorrow and joy of the people outside the mountain were not as good as Xu Qingfan's inadvertent thoughts. A sigh and a frown are important.

But she doesn't know whether Ting'er's mentality is a good thing or a bad thing for her and Xu Qingfan.

But despite this, after hearing Xu Qingfan's words, Ting'er nodded slightly to express her understanding.

Xu Qingfan sighed slightly and said slowly: "The chaos you saw is actually not too serious. In the years since you came back, the chaos outside the mountain has become more and more severe. Whether it is a cultivator or a mortal in the world, Everyone is in danger, not knowing whether they will still be alive after one day. In recent years, although the world of immortality and the mortal world have become calmer under the pressure of the Righteous Alliance, the undercurrent beneath the calm has become even more intense. Turbulent. And all of this is just a precursor to this catastrophe. You can imagine how terrifying it will be when it actually comes. "

As he said that, Xu Qingfan saw that Ting'er's eyes became more confused after hearing his words, and she seemed not to understand what this matter had to do with her or Xu Qingfan. I couldn't help but sigh in my heart. Ting'er has been staying in Xu Qingfan's back cave all year round. The world in her eyes is Xu Qingfan's. She never cares about foreign affairs. Her horizons are too small. She can't help but have the idea of ​​​​letting Ting'er go down the mountain to travel alone. , but thinking of the chaos in the world of immortality at this time, he also had other things to arrange for Ting'er. So I had to give up this idea temporarily.

Xu Qingfan was silent for a moment, and then said slowly: "I read all kinds of history books in the world of immortality some time ago, especially the news about the catastrophe that occurs once every 2,800 years in the world of immortality. But there is no such thing. The precursors of the previous catastrophe could actually cause such great chaos. When this catastrophe actually comes, the destructive power will be even more shocking. What's more, this is the ninth catastrophe since the first catastrophe. Nine is the limit of the number. I always feel that this catastrophe may not be able to survive like the previous eight catastrophes. I am afraid that something bigger is about to happen. "

Speaking of this, Xu Qingfan's eyes flashed with worry, and he said: "It is difficult to complete an egg in a dangerous nest. When this catastrophe comes, I, Jiuhua, am in the world of immortality. It is also one of the six holy places. 1. I am afraid that I will inevitably be involved in it, and as the deacon and protector of Jiuhua..."

Speaking of which. Xu Qingfan paused for a moment, as if hesitating for something, and continued after a moment: "I'm afraid I will have to lead the entire Jiuhua in the future, and the involvement will only be deeper. Taking a step back, even if there is no Jiuhua, I will do my best. I will try my best to protect you and the safety of Ningmei and Baiyu, but with my current strength, it is still far from enough to do this in the catastrophe, so I decided to protect the safety of you and Ningmei Baiyu in the twelve years before Jiuhua opened the mountain. , I no longer care about other things, just meditate with peace of mind, 1o1det try to increase my strength as much as possible, but Ning Mei and Bai Yu are my new disciples, and the door to immortality has just been opened to them, so I just shut myself up and It would be irresponsible to go, and before the catastrophe reaches me, Jiuhua, every time they increase their strength, they will have more ability to protect themselves, and I will have less to worry about in the future, so I think I will retreat next. During this period of time, can you teach them the art of cultivating immortals for me?"

As he spoke, Xu Qingfan stared closely into Ting'er's eyes, waiting for Ting'er's response.

After hearing Xu Qingfan's words, Ting'er couldn't help but be slightly startled. She never expected that Xu Qingfan would ask her to do this. Logically speaking, Ting'er had already reached the realm of the Void Core stage and taught two monks below the Formation stage. It is more than enough, but Ting'er's situation is different. She is taciturn by nature, so it would be a bit difficult for her to give a long sermon like Xu Qingfan's.

But Ting'er is Ting'er after all. No matter when she wanted to kill Xu Qingfan to avenge her father's clan, or when she regarded Xu Qingfan as the only one, she never rejected Xu Qingfan. Whatever Xu Qingfan said and what she did, this has been It has become a habit, so although I was reluctant, I reluctantly nodded in the end.

Seeing that Ting'er finally nodded in agreement, although there was some difficulty on his face, Xu Qingfan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and then he took out two green slips from his sleeves and handed them to Ting'er in front of him. After Ting'er took them, he explained: "These two green slips are what I summarized before going down the mountain this time. They are about the cultivation direction and teaching methods of Ning Mei and Bai Yu. They are mainly about the cultivation of Ning Mei's spiritual consciousness and Bai Yu's body refining and martial arts. You can teach them according to the methods described in them in the next ten years. Even when the two people's cultivation reaches the fasting period, they can directly explore the information recorded in the green slips."

Hearing Xu Qingfan say this, Ting'er finally breathed a sigh of relief, nodded and said softly: "Okay."

Xu Qingfan did this, and her troubles were finally reduced.

Xu Qingfan looked at Ting'er with pity. He also knew that doing this made Ting'er very embarrassed, but at this time he had no choice. He had to increase his strength as soon as possible, and Zhang Ningmei and Bai Yu's cultivation could not be abandoned, so he could only embarrass Ting'er.

Xu Qingfan sighed in his heart, but he still said: "The reason why I told you these catastrophes just now is to let you understand our current situation. Although it seems calm, the danger is actually getting closer and closer. So during the years of my retreat, in addition to teaching Ningmei and Baiyu, you must not abandon your own cultivation."

Ting'er nodded slightly and said softly: "Uncle, don't worry, I will do it well."

Looking at the determination in Ting'er's indifferent eyes, Xu Qingfan finally breathed a sigh of relief. Suddenly, he smiled slightly and said loudly to the outside of the door: "You two can come in too. Why wait outside the door secretly."

As Xu Qingfan's voice fell, a moment later, Zhang Ningmei and Baiyu also pushed the door in. Zhang Ningmei's face was still calm, but Baiyu was a little embarrassed. After Xu Qingfan came back, he was thinking about letting Xu Qingfan tell him some of his experiences down the mountain, so he dragged Zhang Ningmei and waited outside the door secretly.

After seeing Zhang Ningmei and Bai Yu come in and stand respectfully in front of Xu Qingfan, standing side by side with Ting'er, Xu Qingfan told them that he would be in seclusion for twelve years and Ting'er would teach him during this time.

Zhang Ningmei and Bai Yu had different reactions when they heard Xu Qingfan's decision. Zhang Ningmei couldn't help but frowned at first, and then her face became calm again. Zhang Ningmei was a person who was good at observation. Naturally, she knew the difference in personality between Xu Qingfan and Ting'er. With Ting'er's taciturn personality, I'm afraid that the effect of preaching would be far less than Xu Qingfan's. But Zhang Ningmei was a person who went with the flow. Although she thought of this, she didn't care. Although listening to the sermon depends on the person who preaches, it depends more on the person who listens to the sermon's own understanding. What's more, Zhang Ningmei believed that Xu Qingfan must have made arrangements for this.

Bai Yu was stunned at first, and it seemed that he only realized the meaning of Xu Qingfan's words after a moment. He was shocked. He didn't expect what Zhang Ningmei thought of. He just asked anxiously: "Master, you are in seclusion, who will teach me martial arts?"

Xu Qingfan smiled slightly and said slowly: "I have systematically and in detail organized your future cultivation methods and the martial arts you are interested in and handed them over to Ting'er. The same is true for Ningmei's future cultivation direction. If you don't understand anything in the future, just ask Ting'er."

After hearing Xu Qingfan's words, Bai Yu stopped being excited. He just looked at Ting'er's cold expression and delicate figure, and always felt that it was difficult to trust her.

Xu Qingfan understood Bai Yu and even Zhang Ningmei's thoughts, but he didn't want to say anything more. Ting'er was the kind of person who would do what she said, at least to Xu Qingfan. What's more, Ting'er's current Jindan stage cultivation was enough to teach the two of them. Xu Qingfan believed that after his seclusion, he would definitely do it well.

"I also prepared some things for you when I went down the mountain this time. Now I will share them with you."
