Lin Qingqing took the initiative to propose a toast to the old man Xiao Zhuo, "Master, I would like to propose a toast to you."

Xiao Zhuo took the wine and finished it in one gulp. After drinking the wine, he couldn't help but cough a few times. It took him a long time to recover.

Lin Qingqing saw that Xiao Zhuo felt uncomfortable after drinking, so she advised Xiao Zhuo not to drink anymore. Having already had one drink was enough.

Xiao Zhuo sighed, "I haven't drank for nearly a thousand years, and I feel a little uncomfortable for a while."

When Xiao Zhuo said this, he seemed to have remembered something, with a trace of sadness in his eyes.

Lin Qingqing didn't know Xiao Zhuo's story and didn't know what to say, so she kept silent. It wasn't until an unknown amount of time passed that the dishes were cold, and Xiao Zhuo opened his mouth to break the silence.

"I was originally the concubine of the Xiao family in Wei City, the head of the family. My mother was just an ordinary person whom my father took into the family because of his lust."

"Ever since I was born, no one has looked down upon me and thought that I would be an ordinary person."

"So I have been bullied by the children of my family since I was a child. It wasn't until I was eight years old that I accidentally broke into the forbidden area of ​​​​the clan and met Yanyan's mother, Lingdang."

"She had just grown up at that time and didn't understand anything. Bell was still the name I gave her."

Speaking of Yanyan's mother, Xiao Zhuo smiled unconsciously, his eyes filled with tenderness.

Lin Qingqing did not interrupt the old man, but quietly waited for him to continue.

After a while, the old man continued, "When everyone thinks that I am a waste, only Bell believes that I will not be worse than anyone else in the future."

"I also became friends with Lingdang. I often went to the forbidden area secretly to see her. Lingdang would also teach me how to practice."

"Until I was ten years old, the family once again tested the talents of the disciples in the family. Lingdang encouraged me to participate. When I went, everyone laughed at me. Even my father did not think highly of me, just because my mother was an ordinary person. people"

"But none of them could have imagined that an ordinary woman would actually give birth to a child with a single spirit root of the thunder element."

"My father began to value me since then, and the disciples in the clan no longer dare to bully me or ridicule me."

"I started to have all kinds of good resources, and my status in the family was higher than that of my eldest brother. He didn't like me, but he couldn't do anything about me."

"Until I was sixteen years old, my father wanted to send me to study in the sect. When I was saying goodbye to Lingdang, my father found out and asked me to kill Lingdang myself."

"Lingdang didn't want me to be in trouble, so she took the initiative to hit my sword. Lingdang died. I hated myself for not being able to protect her, so I decided to become stronger."

"After I went to Taihang Sect, because of my excellent talent, I directly became the disciple of the leader. However, in less than a hundred years, I had already reached the peak of the Nascent Soul stage."

"It was also when I was in the stage of transcending the tribulation and transforming into a god that I met Lingdang again. Lingdang no longer remembered me, but she still trusted me as much as when she first saw me."

"When I saw Lingdang again, I made up my mind to protect her this time, so I started to practice harder. Lingdang had no complaints against me and was still quietly accompanying me."

"We also fell in love with each other as we got along over time, but paper could not cover up the fire after all, and my master still discovered this matter."

"The master asked me to kill Lingdang just like my father. I begged the master, but the master still wanted to kill Lingdang."

"In desperation, I took the bell and ran away. The bell was injured by the master who was chasing me. On the way to escape, I accidentally discovered this valley bottom."

After Xiao Zhuo finished talking about this past incident, he became silent again. Lin Qingqing watched with her own eyes that his expression alternated between smiling and lonely, and her heart was complicated.

She asked, "What happened later? How did the master's wife die?"

Xiao Zhuo slowly said, "Later I learned that Lingdang is a special kind of demon that cannot be killed easily. Once they give birth to children, they will grow old, sick and die like mortals."

"I almost exhausted my cultivation to help her maintain life, but she still couldn't hold on for more than a few decades before she died."

At this point, Xiao Zhuo's eyes were already moist. "If I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have let her have the baby. Why didn't she tell me earlier?"

Lin Qingqing said, "Perhaps, the master loves the master and also loves her child Yanyan."

Xiao Zhuo sighed and said, "Yes, she said Yanyan is our child and she doesn't want to lose Yanyan."

"Yanyan has inherited various characteristics of Bell. She has always hoped that Yanyan can be a human being like me."

Lin Qingqing comforted her and said, "It doesn't matter if it's a demon. Yanyan is so smart, she will be fine."

"No." Xiao Zhuo grabbed Lin Qingqing's hand. "Wu Ci, master knows that you are a good boy. You spent too much cultivation to save Lingdang for the master. Now there are not many days left."

"Master, what does this mean?" Lin Qingqing probably guessed what Xiao Zhuo meant, but she still asked.

Xiao Zhuo said, "I hope you can take Yanyan out of the valley and take care of Yanyan until she reaches adulthood. In exchange, in the next two years, I can teach you everything I have learned in my life."

This exchange made Lin Qingqing moved. It seemed that Yanyan would reach adulthood in only more than ten years. For the world of immortality, it would only take a blink of an eye.

In addition, she also liked Yanyan, so she agreed to Xiao Zhuo.

Xiao Zhuo said again, "I don't have a few years left to live. I don't want Yanyan to know, so you have to leave in two years. How much you can learn in these two years depends on your luck."

Lin Qingqing understood that Xiao Zhuo was afraid that Yanyan would be sad to know that he was dead, so he did not tell Yanyan.

She promised, "My disciple must take good care of Yanyan until she reaches adulthood and teach her the rights and wrongs of the world."

After all, she is not Feng Wuci, so she cannot promise to take care of Yanyan all the time. She can only stay in this world for a few decades at most.

Perhaps because Xiao Zhuo didn't have much time left, he began to spend time teaching Lin Qingqing every day. He gave her books about talismans, formations, and elixirs, as well as two exercises, and explained their general meanings to her.

Half a day is spent studying theoretical knowledge, and half a day is spent refining elixirs.

Lin Qingqing used up a lot of materials at first before refining a few low-grade elixirs.

Xiao Zhuo was a little disappointed with this, but at least he had mastered it. He didn't feel bad about the materials and spiritual plants, and asked Lin Qingqing to study more and practice more.

Because Lin Qingqing was too busy, she didn't have time to talk to Yanyan. Yanyan was always by her side.

She just thinks that Yanyan is too lonely, and she will chat with Yanyan after she is busy.

Two more months passed. During this period, Lin Qingqing took the pills that Xiao Zhuo gave her to change her physique. One was a top grade pill and the other was a top grade pill, which allowed her to barely reach the three spiritual roots from the five spiritual roots.

Because some impurities were removed from the body, Lin Qingqing obviously felt that her cultivation was much smoother than before, and she finally successfully reached the foundation building stage.

Xiao Zhuo was very pleased with this. He said, "If you want to get better physically now, you have to look at opportunities. However, you are practicing very quickly. It doesn't matter whether you have this opportunity or not."

"Master, my disciple understands"

Xiao Zhuo nodded, took a piece of talisman and punched it into Lin Qingqing's body.

Lin Qingqing was a little confused about this: "Master, what is this?"

Xiao Zhuo explained, "You practice too fast, so my master suppressed your cultivation so that you would not reach the core level so quickly."

"Disciples from the five major sects will have a competition every few years, and the best ones can enter the secret realm to find their own opportunities."

Lin Qingqing understood clearly that Xiao Zhuo wanted her to go to the secret realm. Although Xiao Zhuo taught her this by asking her to take care of Yan Yan, Xiao Zhuo also really thought about her.

She couldn't help but sigh, if it weren't for the world's prejudice against Lingdang, Xiao Zhuo wouldn't live in seclusion here, and he would definitely have achieved great achievements.

But even at this rock bottom, Xiao Zhuo was good enough, and he never regretted his choice.

The past can only be past. In order to protect Yanyan and become stronger as soon as possible, Lin Qingqing practiced harder and began not to sleep.

Another year passed in a flash, and this year her cultivation had reached the late stage of foundation building.

Fortunately, Xiao Zhuo had the foresight to suppress her cultivation speed. There was still one year before the stone gate opened. According to her current cultivation speed, this year would be enough for her to break through the pill formation stage.

This year, Lin Qingqing not only improved her cultivation level, but also refined the elixirs from low-grade to relatively high-quality mid-grade elixirs.

After seeing his progress, Lin Qingqing was no longer in a hurry to practice, otherwise he would not be able to go to the secret realm after breaking through the pill formation.

She began to concentrate on studying elixirs and talisman papers, but her talent in talisman papers was so poor that she could not draw a few useful talisman papers in a year.

Xiao Zhuo often scolded her because he had great hopes for her.

Lin Qingqing was also helpless about this. Some things could be understood at once, while some things just took a long time to understand.

After concentrating on refining elixirs for several months, Lin Qingqing finally managed to refine a high-grade elixir. Although the quality was not very good, Xiao Zhuo was very satisfied with her.

"Hahaha, I didn't expect that I, Xiao Zhuo, would receive such an outstanding apprentice even if I was about to die. This life would be worth it." Xiao Zhuo laughed a few times and patted Lin Qingqing's shoulder.

Lin Qingqing couldn't help but smile, but when she thought that Xiao Zhuo didn't have long left, she felt a little sad.

She can even feel a little sad. If Yanyan knew about it, she would definitely be even sadder!

From this day on, Lin Qingqing no longer indulged in alchemy training and spent some time chatting with Xiao Zhuo every day.

"Dad, there is movement in Shimen." While Lin Qingqing and Xiao Zhuo were playing chess, Yanyan suddenly ran in and interrupted the two of them.

The chess pieces that Xiao Zhuo had not yet dropped also fell from his hands to the ground. He stood up excitedly and flew away directly.

Lin Qingqing and Yanyan also hurriedly chased after him.

When she and Yanyan arrived, Xiao Zhuo was staring at the stone gate in a daze. When he saw Yanyan and Lin Qingqing coming, he immediately put a smile on his face: "Yanyan, come here, daddy."

"Dad" Yan Yan threw herself into Xiao Zhuo's arms.

Xiao Zhuo looked at Yanyan with gentle eyes and said to her, "How about you and big brother go to the outside world to play in a few days?"

Yanyan tilted her head and asked, "What about daddy?"

Xiao Zhuo said patiently, "Dad, I still have something to do, and I will come find you in a while."

Yanyan nodded, "Then daddy must come."

"it is good"
