In that distant little black house

Zhang Jingmo is under the protection of the Lingxu Sect, and usually at least two-thirds of the elixirs he refines must be handed over.

But also because of this, he can easily obtain all kinds of medicinal materials he wants from the sect, which saves him a lot of trouble in alchemy.

The Yuan Qing Dan that Zhang Jingmo refined before has a miraculous effect. Within a month, this elixir can raise a person's cultivation by one level abruptly. Qi training is referred to as foundation building, and foundation building is referred to as golden elixir... In this way analogy.

One month is enough for people to solve problems that could not be solved otherwise.

And this heaven-defying elixir also has sequelae. The higher the elixir, the fewer the aftereffects. Currently, with Zhang Jingmo's ability, he has refined a third-rank Yuanqing elixir at most. That is, after one month, he will be weak for seven days. Yuan Qingdan, the weak time will be directly reduced to one hour.

At present, Zhang Jingmo has only formed the alchemy not long ago, and it is almost impossible to refine a first-grade Yuan Qingdan, but this is not important, because one month is enough for Zhang Jingmo to do what he wants to do.

After bringing Lu Guijiu back, Zhang Jingmo specially invited someone to teach Lu Guijiu how to practice calligraphy.He originally wanted to teach in person, but time was too tight and he had too many things to prepare, Zhang Jingmo couldn't afford to be distracted, so he could only temporarily entrust Lu Guijiu to others.

Lu Guijiu behaved very well, as sensible as Zhang Jingmo remembered, as a child who was just four years old, he didn't cry or make trouble after leaving home, he was so obedient, and he was really loved.

Zhang Jingmo's feelings towards Lu Guijiu were originally very complicated, but no matter how complicated the emotions were, they faded after time passed. If Lu Guijiu was not the beginning of all this he encountered, Zhang Jingmo might give this person to him. forget.

So when he saw Lu Guijiu again in this life, Zhang Jingmo found that his heart was very peaceful, and he even felt more relaxed for no reason.

But Zhang Jingmo temporarily put all these emotions behind him, he has more important things to do now.

Just one month later, a blood-colored demon python will appear in Fengjue Valley. This giant python is parasitized with a kind of elixir called Mingzhi.This elixir is extremely rare, and it is the most important medicinal material of Kong Qiong Dan.

And Kong Qiongdan is the most precious kind of foundation-building elixir.

The monks all knew that as long as they had the Kong Qiong Dan, the foundation would be sure. This was not what Zhang Jingmo valued. The reason why he valued the Kong Qiong Dan so much was because he had an improved prescription in his hand.

The Kong Qiong Pill made according to that prescription has an unexpected function - it can lay a solid foundation for monks' Pill Formation.

If there is a destiny, it can also produce the ten-turn original pill.

Back then, even a monstrous existence like Lu Guijiu hadn't been able to form a perfect ten-turn Yuandan when he formed the alchemy, so you can see how difficult it was.

Since Zhang Jingmo wanted to do it, he had to do his best. He wanted to see the wonders he had never seen before on Lu Guijiu's body.

The monster python in the Fengjue Valley will return to the valley to shed its skin in a month, and at that time, several disciples of the Lingxu Sect who are searching for herbs will be implicated.

Zhang Jingmo has been to Fengjue Valley, found the demon python, and even harvested Mingzhi from it, but he died in its hands several times.

For the first time, Zhang Jingmo miscalculated his own strength and was directly swallowed by the monster python.The second time, he was fully prepared, but he died from the demon python's desperate move.Fortunately, there are only three things. After these two experiences, Zhang Jingmo has never suffered from the monster python again. It can even be said that as long as he is reborn, he will definitely go to get the Mingzhi from the monster python. .

But just to be on the safe side, Zhang Jingmo still refined the third-grade Yuanqing Dan for emergencies. After all, death is never a comfortable experience.

See you this month, Zhang Jingmo retreated and jumped his body into the best state, and then prepared to go out with all kinds of magic weapons.

Before he left, he met Lu Guijiu again.

Compared with a month ago, Lu Guijiu's body hasn't changed much, except that the clothes that look like dolls in New Year's pictures have been replaced with white clothes. Although they still look cute, Zhang Jingmo finds them a bit distasteful.

Zhang Jingmo asked who made him dress like this.

Lu Guijiu said it was himself.

Zhang Jingmo was a little puzzled when he heard the words, he said, "Does Guijiu like white?" How could he remember that Lu Guijiu never wore white clothes before.

Lu Guijiu shook his head, and said in a childish voice, "Gujiu wants to be like Master!"

Hearing this, Zhang Jingmo rarely showed a smile, he said, "Does Guijiu want to be like Master?"

Lu Guijiu said, "Yes."

Zhang Jingmo said: "Why do you want to be like Master?"

Lu Guijiu muttered and refused to answer.

Zhang Jingmo didn't intend to force Lu Guijiu to give the answer. He sighed lightly, stroked Lu Guijiu's hair again, and said, "Master is going out for a while, and Guijiu will practice hard at home."

Lu Guijiu's eyes widened in an instant. He thought that after Zhang Jingmo brought him back, he would be able to see Zhang Jingmo every day, but he didn't expect Zhang Jingmo to leave after a month of continuous retreat. .

Seeing that Lu Guijiu hadn't spoken, Zhang Jingmo turned around and planned to leave, but just as he took a step, his sleeve was pulled. When Zhang Jingmo turned around, he found that Lu Guijiu had pulled his sleeve.

Seeing Zhang Jingmo looking over, Lu Guijiu immediately withdrew his hand, lowered his head, and dared not speak.

Seeing Lu Guijiu's timid expression, Zhang Jingmo had some doubts in his heart. It stands to reason that he had never lost his temper with Lu Guijiu in this life, so why Lu Guijiu always acted so afraid of him.

Or is it that Lu Guijiu has always been afraid of him, but he and Lu Guijiu lived far away back then, and didn't get along with each other every day, so he couldn't discover the characteristics of his disciple?

Zhang Jingmo said: "Guijiu, what's wrong?"

Lu Guijiu just shook his head, but refused to speak.

Zhang Jingmo asked again, seeing that Lu Guijiu still didn't answer, he bent down and picked up the child, he said, "Are you missing your parents?"

Speaking of which, the Lu family and him also have some karma, otherwise he would not have admitted the entrustment and accepted Lu Guijiu as his apprentice.

Lu Guijiu leaned his chin on Zhang Jingmo's shoulder, holding Zhang Jingmo with both hands and refused to let go.

Zhang Jingmo didn't ask any more questions, but just reached out and patted Lu Guijiu's back, trying to ease Lu Guijiu's emotions.

However, Lu Guijiu hugged and hugged him, and fell asleep in a daze. After Zhang Jingmo found out, he was angry and funny, but he still didn't wake up the child. After he put Lu Guijiu on the bed, he went to ask the caregiver The two boys of Lu Guijiu.

The two boys, one named Qingfeng and the other named Mingyue, were both transferred by Zhang Jingmo from the disciples outside the sect.

Zhang Jingmo said, "Is there anything unusual about Guijiu recently?"

Qingfeng bowed his head and replied: "Young Master Lu has nothing unusual recently, but his sleep time is a little short. Normally, he goes to bed at midnight and wakes up at Yinshi."

Sleep at Zishi, wake up at Yinshi?Zhang Jingmo frowned slightly. It is common for a child of Lu Guijiu's age to sleep six hours a day. Even if he works hard, he doesn't need to torment his body like this. He is only four years old now, and hard work is not good for him.

Zhang Jingmo pondered: "Let him sleep for five hours from now on. It's okay to wake up early in the morning, but don't let him stay up late at night. If he says anything, just say I ordered it."

Qingfeng responded one by one when he heard the words, he seemed to want to say something more, but there was some hesitation in his expression.

Zhang Jingmo saw Qingfeng's hesitation, and said, "Tell me, what else is there?"

Qingfeng lowered his head and said, "Master Lu, it seems that he is not used to the food in the mountains..." He was actually a little worried that he would be scolded if he told Zhang Jingmo these trivial things, but he was afraid that if he didn't tell Zhang Jingmo, he would be even more angry when he found out.

Zhang Jingmo showed a clear expression when he heard the words. Since the establishment of the foundation, he has been fasting, and he hasn't eaten for a long time, so he doesn't pay much attention to food on weekdays.

The place where the Lingxu faction is located is in the deep mountains, and the children who serve him eat some bigu pills, but for children like Lu Guijiu, the pills are obviously not suitable for him, but there is no suitable one for a while. food……

Zhang Jingmo took a bag of spirit stones from Xumijie and handed it to Qingfeng, he said: "From today on, you will buy him spirit plants for cooking every day, and I will bring him some spirit beast meat back later." , you do well for him every day."

Qingfeng naturally agreed happily. Although he didn't look at the bag, he knew that Zhang Jingmo was not a stingy master.

Zhang Jingmo said: "Serve him well, if I find out that you and Mingyue have not fulfilled their duties—" when he said this, there was a trace of coolness in his eyes, "Be careful with your skin."

Qingfeng and Mingyue knelt down and promised tremblingly.

Zhang Jingmo glanced at the two boys on the ground, and walked out of the mountain gate without saying anything.

When he left the house, he also met Elder Yu, a fellow Taoist who was very leisurely all day long, and Elder Yu casually asked where Zhang Jingmo was going.

Zhang Jingmo said he was going out to find something.

Elder Yu joked: "If you are willing to leave your cute little apprentice behind, what fun do you want to go out for?"

Zhang Jingmo said: "What's the matter with my apprentice?"

Elder Yu said: "Now the entire Lingxu sect is telling stories about the deep love between you and your apprentice, it's really emotional for the speaker and tears for the listener—"

Hearing this, Zhang Jingmo's serious expression turned into a half-smile.

Elder Yu said, "Hey, why are you looking at me like that?"

Zhang Jingmo said directly: "Elder Yu, you have told me so much, my Yuan Qing Dan has also been given to the head."

Elder Yu chuckled. After being exposed, he was not embarrassed; "Didn't you only give the head two coins, the last one..."

Zhang Jingmo said: "Eat."

Elder Yu snorted, he seemed to have never expected that Zhang Jingmo would eat Yuan Qingdan so soon, Zhang Jingmo glanced at Elder Yu, and chuckled: "Isn't this just trying to pretend to be a hero in front of my beloved disciple? Just ate it, and made a trick for the apprentice."

Elder Yu: "..." As a fellow Taoist, he just likes serious nonsense.
