I asked you to go down the mountain and get married, not to shock the world!

But Hongxiu's face had a hint of innocence and ignorance, as if she didn't know how attractive she looked.

She just stared at Mingchuan with her watery eyes, her tone filled with anticipation.

"Did you have fun today, sir? I'm alone in the pavilion, always wondering when you'll be back, and I don't have the energy to do anything else."

Mingchuan watched her performance and sneered in his heart.

This play is really interesting!

He turned aside to avoid her offered hand and spoke lightly.

"Don't bother. I've already eaten outside. You can go to bed early. It's not too late to clean up tomorrow."

He deliberately kept his distance and didn't want to give Hongxiu any chance to get close.

But Hongxiu seemed not to notice his distance. Instead, she took a step forward and tilted the bowl of spiritual porridge in her hand slightly. A few drops of warm porridge spilled on the back of her hand.

She let out a soft "Ah" and looked at Mingchuan with a tentative look.

"Sir, my hands are so hot..."

As she spoke, she stretched out her hand for Mingchuan to check, her fingertips almost touching Mingchuan's sleeve.

If an ordinary cultivator saw her looking so delicate and timid, he would have probably softened his heart and stepped forward.

But Mingchuan just glanced at the back of her hand and spoke calmly.

"The spiritual porridge is not too hot, just wipe it clean. There is healing ointment in the pavilion, go get it yourself."

After saying that, he stopped looking at Hongxiu and walked straight towards his room.

Hongxiu stood there, looking at Mingchuan's back. The innocence in her eyes faded away in an instant, and a hint of unwillingness and coldness flashed across her eyes.

This Mingchuan is really stubborn!

But then she thought, the harder the bone is, the more valuable it will be when it is taken down. She put on a gentle expression again, picked up the bowl of spiritual porridge, and followed closely.

"Sir, I'll put the spiritual porridge outside your room. If you're hungry at night, you can heat it up and eat it..."

Mingchuan slammed the door shut, isolating Hongxiu from outside, his face full of disgust.

Could it be that this woman has been in the Demon Abyss for too long? Doesn't she know that seducing people is no longer popular nowadays, so she comes to you on her own initiative like this?

It's too cheap and will make men dislike it!

Mingchuan shook his head in disdain.

……

The morning light streamed into Fentian Pavilion through the window lattice. Mingchuan had a good night's sleep and felt refreshed when he woke up.

The warmth I felt yesterday with the children temporarily dispelled the calculations and gloom of the past few days.

He had just finished washing up and was about to circulate his spiritual energy to consolidate his cultivation when he heard a disciple's announcement from outside the courtyard.

"Brother Cang, the Sect Master has invited me to discuss something important, and he asked me to bring these things over first."

Mingchuan opened the door and saw two sect disciples holding an exquisite wooden box, standing respectfully in the courtyard.

The moment the wooden box was opened, a rich medicinal aroma wafted into the air. Inside were three bottles of elixirs neatly placed, as well as a glowing long sword and a shield engraved with runes.

"This is..." Mingchuan pretended to be surprised, but a hint of understanding flashed across his eyes.

Su Hongzhen suddenly sent such a valuable gift, he must have heard some rumors again.

"Brother Hui Cang, these are the Nascent Soul Pills and Gathering Spirit Powder that the Sect Master specially prepared for you. He said they will help you break through the Nascent Soul stage as soon as possible."

One of the disciples explained, "The Sect Master also said that you are a disciple that the sect is focusing on training, and you must not fall behind others. He told you to improve your cultivation as quickly as possible and not let the sect down."

Mingchuan sneered in his heart.

When Su Hongzhen mentioned "falling behind others", he was clearly referring to "Mingchuan".

He reached out to take the wooden box and said with feigned gratitude, "Thank you for your kindness, Sect Master. I will practice diligently and live up to the Sect and Sect Master's cultivation."

After sending his disciples away, Mingchuan returned to his room and placed the wooden box on the table.

The Fallen Dragon in the Sea of ​​Consciousness couldn't help but speak: "Is Su Hongzhen anxious? He suddenly sent so many good things. I'm afraid he heard some news again."

"It's probably that Qingfeng Yumen deliberately spread some rumors." Mingchuan picked up a bottle of Yuanying Pill and stroked the bottle with his fingertips.

……

Sure enough, at this time in the master's hall.

Su Hongzhen was standing in the hall, burning with anger, with a disciple who was responsible for gathering information kneeling in front of him.

"Tell me again! What exactly happened over there at Qingfeng Yumen?"

Su Hongzhen's tone was cold, and the jade ruyi in his hand was creaking as he squeezed it.

Late last night, he received news that Qingfeng Yumen not only provided "Mingchuan" with a large amount of cultivation resources, but also announced to the public that "Mingchuan" had touched the threshold of the late Nascent Soul stage and would be able to break through in a short time!

"Reply, reply, Sect Master," the disciple trembled with fear. "The disciples of Qingfeng Yumen were chatting in the market, saying... Mingchuan has obtained an ancient inheritance, and his cultivation speed is advancing by leaps and bounds. They also said that if the Qingcheng Yufa Sect continues to rest on its laurels, it will sooner or later be surpassed by Qingfeng Yumen..."

"How dare you!" Su Hongzhen threw the jade ruyi to the ground, sending shards flying everywhere. "Qingfeng Yumen is clearly going against me! Do you really think my Qingcheng Yufa Sect is easy to bully?"

The disciples hurried forward to persuade him: "Master, calm down. The Qingfeng Yumen is just trying to provoke you. We must not fall into their trap."

"Fell into a trap?" Su Hongzhen sneered, his eyes sinister. "They just want me to watch Mingchuan grow stronger, and then gradually erode the power of the Spirit Realm! I won't do what they want!"

He turned and looked outside the hall, his tone somewhat anxious: "Have the elixirs and magic tools been sent over to Cang Ziang?"

"We must make sure he breaks through to the Nascent Soul stage as soon as possible. As long as he can contain Mingchuan, Qingfeng Yumen won't be able to cause any trouble!"

"Don't worry, Sect Master. I have already sent it there myself. Senior Brother Cang is also very grateful and said that he will practice as soon as possible." The disciple at the side quickly replied.

Su Hongzhen finally calmed down his anger a little. He walked to the middle of the hall and sat down, his fingers tapping unconsciously on the table.

"Cang Ziang is a talented kid, but he's a little too stable."

"Mingchuan is on the rise now. He must grow up quickly and must not fall behind!"

He paused, then added, "Go to Burning Heaven Pavilion again and tell Cang Ziang that if he can break through the Nascent Soul stage within three months, the sect will not only grant him another high-grade spiritual weapon, but will also let him take charge of the outer disciples' cultivation."

"I just don't believe that he can remain calm even with so many benefits!"

"Yes, Sect Master!" The disciple retreated in response.

Su Hongzhen was the only one left in the hall. He looked out the window at the sky, a calculating look flashing in his eyes...

At this time, in the Fentian Pavilion, Mingchuan was playing with the newly acquired Yuanying stage magic weapon with a sneer on his lips.

He could see clearly what Su Hongzhen was thinking.

He just wanted to use himself to check and balance "Mingchuan".

Unfortunately, Su Hongzhen will never know that the "chess piece" he has worked so hard to cultivate is the person he most wants to get rid of.

"Break through the Nascent Soul stage in three months?" Mingchuan chuckled and put the treasure away. "It's just right. I also need to consolidate my cultivation as soon as possible to avoid being attacked from both the Evil Core and Su Hongzhen. The resources Su Hongzhen has brought to my doorstep should not be wasted."

He opened a bottle of Nascent Soul Pills, took out a pill and put it in his mouth.

The pill melted in his mouth, and the pure spiritual power instantly poured into his dantian and merged with the spiritual power in his body!

Mingchuan closed his eyes and began to practice his skills, transforming the power of the elixir into his own cultivation.
