Fairy, don't try to mess with my filial piety

As for the aftermath of their sparring, that feeling was definitely not pleasant and required some getting used to.

His instinct was creating a strong sense of crisis, but he was unable to respond, just like a suspicious person, who was filled with fear but could not find any trace of it.

Chu Wuji felt the footsteps behind him and temporarily stopped paying attention to the previous competition.

"Junior brother, why are you here?" I knew it was Yun Qingying from the voice.

Chu Wuji turned around and saw the beautiful girl with a cold and elegant appearance walking towards him. After not seeing her for a while, Yun Qingying had changed a lot. Under the bright light of the day, her snow-white body was as smooth as ivory, with a transparent luster, and her black hair fluttered in the breeze. The transformation in her temperament was even greater, and she became more like a fairy, with graceful demeanor and mysterious temperament.

It seems that after Yun Qingying became Ning Xianzhi's disciple, she has been making great progress and undergoing a complete transformation every day, which has lived up to all her hard work and sweat in the past!

Of course, Chu Wuji felt more helpless. Why did she call him "junior brother" right away?

Well, now they are in the sect, and they must follow the agreement. Otherwise, when she comes down the mountain one day, this girl will not call him brother anymore.

"Senior Sister Yun, I'm not looking for you, I'm looking for Master Ning."

"Oh, then I'm leaving."

Yun Qingying's expression was very little, but it was not completely unchanged. Her eyes immediately turned cold, and the barely perceptible joy in her eyes disappeared. She turned around and walked into the house.

"I'm just joking, don't take it seriously~" Chu Wuzhi quickly pulled her, apologized sincerely, and took Yun Qingying to sit together at the stone table next to them.

"Ever since you recovered from your injuries last time, why haven't you come down the mountain, Qingying? Or did you come down the mountain, but just didn't go to the capital?"

"Call me Senior Sister!" the girl emphasized.

"Senior Sister Yun." Chu Wuji laughed dumbly. This girl really refused to suffer any loss.

"After I came back last time, Master didn't allow me to go down the mountain. He was afraid that I might... run into an accident again."

Yun Qingying was a little embarrassed and brooding over the defeat. She was a very strong-willed girl.

"How about you, Junior Brother? Why haven't you gone up the mountain for so long?"

"Busy! I've been busy lately and have done a lot of things! After I finish talking to Master Ning, I'll tell you about what I've seen and heard during this period."

Yun Qingying immediately replied, "Master is in a meeting to discuss something. The elders of the Shenxiao Sect are discussing the Lihuo Mountain Range, and there are other immortal cultivators visiting."

As for that, it’s just a change in the ownership of a mountain range, so why do the elders have to gather together to discuss it?

However, when a rare and exotic beast like the Qiong beast appears, the immortal forces can indeed exchange information with each other.

Chu Wuji was just thinking when Yun Qingying stretched out her hand and waved it in front of his eyes. Her pretty face was calm, but she urged him anxiously:

"Junior brother, you already know where the master has gone. Now you can talk about your experiences."

Although this girl gave people the impression of being unkind, Chu Wuji could indeed feel some of Yun Qingying's cuteness after having more contact with her. She was insincere in her words, but always had a cold expression and a gloomy face.

"Let's talk about it now. Let me ask you one more question. Will you and Madam Jiang go down the mountain to celebrate the New Year this year?"

"Huh? Is the New Year coming soon? What month is it now?" Yun Qingying was a little confused.

Chu Wuji turned his head to look at the scene of the immortal sect outside Zhuying Peak. There were many immortal peaks, surrounded by clouds and mist, and the immortal plants were evergreen. There were only changes of day and night, and no sign of the passing of the four seasons.

It is indeed easy to forget the time. No wonder Yun Qingying looks so dazed.

"It's almost time. It doesn't matter if you don't know. Let's chat for a while and wait for Master Ning to come back."

Chapter 213 Ning: Still want to steal my apprentice?

Yun Qingying initially sat upright on the stone bench, with one hand naturally placed on the table and the other holding a teacup. She was concentrating and listening attentively to Chu Wuji's words. Her overall demeanor was very otherworldly.

He acted like a calm and composed master, as if he had traveled thousands of miles and his mood had become calm.

However, after listening to the experiences for a while, Yun Qingying unconsciously changed her posture to supporting her cheeks with both hands, her cherry-pink and smooth lips were sometimes pursed nervously, and sometimes she breathed a sigh of relief, her thoughts progressing along with the experiences Chu Wuji narrated.

She looks like a romantic girl who is listening to a story attentively, but the expression on her little face is not as lively and clever as that of an ordinary girl, and she is still expressionless.

Chu Wuzhi kept talking, and after noticing the change in Yun Qingying's demeanor, he hid his smile in his heart, lest he really laughed out loud, as this girl would be unhappy.

During his trip to the Western Regions, he mostly talked about the customs and culture of foreign lands, such as the strange phenomena in the Black Car Kingdom. Meanwhile, the Lihuo Mountains a few days ago were all about the Gong family's affairs.

"Senior Sister Yun, I mentioned your story to the girl from the Gong family who jumped into the well. Without realizing it, you have become a sight that others admire."

After Chu Wuji finished his story, Yun Qingying came back to her senses. She realized that her actions were a bit childish, so she quickly put her hands away and returned to her sitting position as if nothing had happened. She then secretly observed Chu Wuji again, making sure that he didn't notice before she felt relieved.

She thought for a moment and said, "There's no need to admire or not admire. It's just good luck and hard work that paid off. Without luck, it would be nothing, all in vain..."

Yun Qingying suppressed the words in her heart. She felt that it was a kind of luck to meet Chu Wuzhi!

When she first went up to the Immortal Mountain and became Ning Xianzhi's disciple, she was extremely nervous, and the string in her mind seemed to be in a tense and dull state.

After successfully becoming a disciple of the Immortal Family, could she really relax? No, hard work was constant. She was worried that if she relaxed for a moment, she would completely sink into despair and no longer have the courage to immerse herself in the sweat of hard work.

If that situation really comes to that, then all the hardships I have endured in the Yun family in the past will be in vain.

During her first time in the mountains, her master Ning Xianzhi had told her to relax her mind and adapt to life in the mountains as soon as possible, but she didn't know how to relax. She could take a day off and not practice, but then she would feel guilty and anxious about being lazy.

Finally, rest is more tiring and mentally torturous than not resting at all.

And when she met Chu Wuji again at Sanquanwei, she came to him secretly without telling her master, and treated the little fox's teeth together... That period of time really made her relax a lot. The tense string gradually relaxed, no longer so stiff, and regained its resilience.

Even now, when Yun Qingying was exhausted from practicing, she would walk out of the bamboo house and come to the cliff of the fairy peak, gazing at the mountains and clouds, her thoughts going back to that night.

Back on that cool, quiet night with a rustling autumn breeze, she and Chu Wuji chatted by the stream, then helped a group of little foxes with their healing spells while they ate a stew in an iron pot. It wasn't a particularly special experience, but it did relax her mind.

The same was probably true for the girl from the Gong family. Chu Wuzhi passed by and gave her a ray of luck, allowing her past hard work to be transformed into results with the help of this ray of opportunity.

"..."

Yun Qingying found that the topic suddenly became silent. She didn't know why Chu Wuji didn't say anything, and she was not good at chatting.

"Junior brother, come in and have some tea." After she said that, she left her seat, stood tall, and waited for Chu Wuzhi to follow.

"Okay, how is Madam Jiang these days?"

"Very good. With the abundant spiritual energy in the environment, she can now slowly breathe in and out the spiritual energy, but she can't yet guide the spiritual energy through her body."

"..."

Chu Wuji clearly felt how powerful the "training" of the Queen Fox was. Madam Jiang also had the guidance of an immortal master, but her progress was not as good as that of Princess Jing'an and the others.

However, Mrs. Jiang's current progress is sufficient to prolong her life, and it is impossible for her to get involved in the disputes among the monks.

Chu Wuji walked around the bamboo house and found a new stove. It seemed that this Zhuying Peak had added a new aspect of culinary training.

"Senior Sister Yun, is this the stove Madam Jiang uses for cooking?"

"Use it occasionally. This is made for you, waiting for you to cook for it." Yun Qingying said frankly.

...Thank you for your thoughtful consideration!

The Guanxia Pavilion of the Shenxiao Sect,

This is the best place to watch the sunrise and sunset. When the sun rises, the mountain gorge in the distance forms a picture frame, as if capturing the sunrise in a painting of heaven and earth.

Because of the unique scenery, this place is often used to receive Taoist friends and guests.

This time, several elders from Kongtong Mountain on the side of Tianji Country came to visit and talk about what happened in the Lihuo Mountains.

There was quite a commotion at that time, and all the power of the Lihuo Mountains was mobilized. Monks who had reached a certain level of cultivation could naturally capture the violent fluctuations of the fighting in the Lihuo Mountains.

Kongtong Mountain didn't want to arouse suspicion, so they sent someone to explain the situation. If the situation got out of hand, they would have to explain themselves to the neighboring immortal forces.

The elders of the Shenxiao Sect saw some hidden dangers in this.

"A corpse transformed into a golden-haired beast. Could there still be someone in the former empire seeking immortality through this method? This is a serious hidden danger!"

It would be fine if it was just an ordinary corpse transformation, but this one can actually transform into a powerful monster. Once it escapes, it will inevitably cause terrible casualties and disasters in a short period of time!

We can only hope for such things, as they are rare exceptions. After all, not everyone can be buried in a coffin with such a deep blessing.

Taoist Jiuwu said, "You people of Kongtong Mountain are truly ruthless! You braved the backlash of good fortune to slay that beast. Is one of your elders about to pass away? I'll contribute a share of the money and go to the feast to commemorate this Taoist friend!"

Ning Xianzhi sat nearby, listening without saying anything, but she really wanted to remind her friend not to show her intention to drink so obviously.

The elders of Kongtong Mountain said, "No, Kongtong Mountain contributed very little. The one who killed the golden-haired beast must have been a disciple of Elder Ning Xianzhi. He was still wearing your jade hairpin, Mozhi."

Ning Xianzhi was drinking tea and almost spit it out. She tried her best to maintain her composure and confirmed:

"How can he possibly handle a golden-haired lion?"

The elders of Kongtong Mountain wondered, "Don't you know what your own disciples are capable of?"

"He was working with my Kongtong Mountain disciple Gu Qinchuan. He took a look at the Yin Fu Jing and then, using the power of the entire Lihuo Mountain Range, unleashed the magical power of the Earth Chapter and dealt with the golden-haired beast."

Another elder from Kongtong Mountain noticed the confusion among the fellow Daoists from the Divine Sky Sect, as if none of them knew about this person. He immediately asked:

"May I ask Elder Ning Xianzhi, are you still planning to recruit this disciple into the Shenxiao Sect? It seems that he has a connection with Kongtong Mountain..."

Chapter 214: The Hidden Rules of Obtaining the Martial Arts

"No need to talk nonsense." Ning Xianzhi rejected her request without leaving any room for negotiation.

Ning Xianzhi hated it most when people had to argue with others for a long time just to maintain a sense of propriety about things that were impossible to agree on.

The two elders of Kongtong Mountain were a little embarrassed, but they had expected to be rejected, so naturally they did not feel too dissatisfied.

Ning Xianzhi had already placed his jade hairpin flying sword on the young man, so he would definitely not let him go easily. However, when he saw that the people from the Shenxiao Sect looked confused, he thought of giving it a try.

Elder Bi of Zhaoleifeng seemed to remember something. His youngest son, Bi Leizhen, seemed to have been beaten by a "mortal".

How long has it been since that "mortal" kid already possessed such strength?!

Elder Bi whispered to Ning Xianzhi, "Ahem, Elder Ning, how come your disciple's cultivation speed is so fast? Yun Qingying is fine, but why is that warrior boy so fierce?"

Taoist Jiuwu answered on his behalf: "Elder Bi is talking about Chu Wuji, right? That child is borrowing the power of the Lihuo Mountains. I guess he hasn't even crossed the first hurdle of cultivation."

Ning Xianzhi nodded in affirmation. Since her friend had already finished speaking, she did not elaborate.

Elder Bi's mouth twitched. He really didn't want to complain, but he couldn't help but ask, "He hasn't even crossed the threshold of practicing Taoism, but how come he can do things that are more amazing than those who have practiced Taoism for decades?"

Taoist Jiuwu was very perceptive and knew that Elder Bi was worried about the reputation of his son Bi Leizhen. Being defeated by a "mortal" was indeed a bad reputation and very disturbing.

She said, "Elder Bi, it's okay. Not only has your son been beaten by warriors, but even those demonic cultivators have been beaten without any problems. It's not shameful!"

Elder Bi didn't want to talk anymore, he was very upset!

Ning Xianzhi didn't want to listen to what was discussed later. She just wanted to check on Chu Wuzhi's condition. She sensed Mo Zhi's location and suddenly found that the aura was on her own fairy peak.

After the conversation here ended, Ning Xianzhi flew back to his own fairy peak immediately.

The fairy with a jade-like appearance and mature temperament immediately spotted Chu Wuji who was standing by the stove. He was stir-frying elixirs in a wok, while Yun Qingying and Madam Jiang were watching helplessly beside him.

Judging from Chu Wu Ji's condition, he should be fine, but using the secret method to observe his aura, Chu Wu Ji was indeed filled with the black aura of backlash from good fortune, like a dark cloud covering him.

He learned a scripture from Kongtong Mountain, but the people in Kongtong Mountain didn't care at all. I think it was because Chu Wuji helped to take the "big blame"!

After a few greetings, Ning Xianzhi felt relieved to see that he was fine.

Ning Xianzhi looked at him with concern: "I don't know when this backlash of your good fortune will dissipate..."

Chu Wuji said quietly, "It's okay. I stole a military seal from the golden-haired beast. The golden-haired beast gained its good fortune from it, which is enough to offset its bad luck. But I don't have it with me now."

"That's good. Wuji, what brings you up the mountain this time?"

Chu Wuji really wanted to say that he came here to seek refuge, but such words would be very hurtful, as if he was simply using Ning Xianzhi as a shield.

"Spring is coming soon, and I've been idle at home lately, so I went up the mountain to visit him and ask him about his skills."

He explained the condition of his brow center and wanted to find a method to cultivate his primordial spirit.

"A simpler technique will do, there's no need for those secret techniques!" Chu Wuji did not forget to emphasize this point to avoid making things difficult for Ning Xianzhi.

Ning Xianzhi paused and sighed, "Your path of cultivation is truly confusing. You've jumped straight into the soul-building part. But you really need to practice this part, otherwise if an external enemy attacks your soul, you'll become passive."

"Just a little training of the Yuan Shen will be enough. The Sky Fox Goddess said that my Yuan Shen cave is very solid. From now on, it will be a trap to lure people in and ambush them. It is not as fragile as you might think."

"Then let me pretend to break in and try?" Ning Xianzhi said. She had not seen how powerful a warrior's soul could be, so she had to see how strong Chu Wuzhi was.

Chu Wuji waved his hands repeatedly. He didn't dare. If Ning Xianzhi's consciousness escaped into his soul cave and found that there were already two people in it, it would be so embarrassing!

"Let me try the method of cultivating the primordial spirit first. When I have some results, I will show them to Master Ning to show my achievements."

"..."

When Ning Xianzhi heard the word "Master", she remembered that Chu Wuji hadn't called her "mother" yet when they met this time! But with Yun Qingying and Madam Jiang around, it was indeed not very convenient.
