Cultivation of the cat

Abai said before that Zihui would come to pick him up later in the afternoon.

As a result, not long after noon, Zihui came.

People came earlier than expected, Lin Mianmian's things were almost packed, but he was still a mess.Even though I hurriedly soaked my face in cold water for two rounds, the soreness and swelling of the eyes that I cried for a long time before will not disappear in a short while.

Fortunately, Zihui came here often these days, and seeing how much Lin Mianmian loves that little three flower, he can naturally understand Lin Mianmian's state at the moment.Although, Zihui doesn't really understand why Lin Mianmian cares so much about a kitten in the ordinary world, but sometimes, seeing Lin Mianmian's love for the little three flowers, she is really envious. of.This person has to be crazy to a certain level, but it is admirable.

"Don't be sad, we have embarked on the road of cultivating immortals. Immortals and mortals are already different. Small animals in the mortal world, even if they are not sent away, they will not be able to go far with you." Zihui couldn't see Lin Mianmian's pale face. , with red and swollen eyes, raised his hand and sprinkled some small ice cubes in the washbasin, "If you really like these fluffy things, you might as well go to the place where the sect raises spirit beasts to get some quests later. It can meet your preferences and kill two birds with one stone. Those domesticated spirit beasts are cute and obedient. Compared with the animals in the mortal world, they are really much smarter. You will know when you meet them. Just don’t put too much emotion on them , the avenue is boundless, how can there be so many troubles for some spirit beasts."

No matter how good the spirit beast is, there will only be one rice ball in this world...

Lin Mianmian was physically and mentally exhausted after a parting just now, and she didn't feel that she would have the same affection for Fantuan for any spirit beast.

Whether it is the rice ball itself, the timing of its appearance, or the years spent by one person and one cat, they are all irreplaceable by chance.

However, Lin Mianmian was not going to say these words to Zihui.She understood Zihui's kindness, and because she understood, she didn't want to argue.Some things, you just need to understand and remember, that's enough.

Facing Zihui's serious gaze, Lin Mianmian lowered her eyes, nodded slightly, rubbed a cloth towel in the ice water, and applied it to her eyes.

How could Zihui fail to see that Lin Mianmian didn't actually listen to his own words.However, as a fellow teacher and sister, I have already said what I should say, and I have done what I should do, and I can only wait for Lin Mianmian to figure it out.

But...Zihui looked around, and saw that the yard was crowded with all kinds of hairballs piled up a while ago, and now not even one of the hairballs is gone, the one on the other side of the courtyard wall is doing well The pretty wooden corridor was also demolished, and the surroundings were quiet except for the sound of Lin Mianmian scrubbing the cloth towels. It really felt a little deserted all of a sudden.

Hey, no wonder she is sad...

Zihui turned to look at Lin Mianmian: "How is it? Have you packed it? I have something to pack, I'll pack it for you first, and I'll return it to you after you learn how to use the storage bag." As expected, it's better to leave early.

Lin Mianmian didn't have much luggage, just a few sets of clothes and quilts handed out by the door, but a large pile of small wooden boards removed from the wall.

Lin Mianmian got those wooden boards from Zihui. Of course Zihui knew what they were used for in the first place, but after taking a deep look at Lin Mianmian, he packed up the luggage and the wooden boards without saying a word.

That's all, it's just a little bit more about love and righteousness, it's much better than those who have gone astray and are ruthless and ungrateful.

Lin Mianmian felt much better after rubbing a few cold cloth towels over her eyes, and she didn't want to waste too much time for Senior Sister Zihui.

When they first joined the Five Elements Sect, Zihui introduced to them that after they had drawn their qi into their bodies, they could leave this residence located at the outermost edge of the Five Elements Sect and live in a place further inside the Outer Valley.

Lin Mianmian always thought that to get to this inner place, he only needed to pass the small square where he usually attended lectures, and then pass through the forest.

In fact... it's probably the same as Lin Mianmian thought, but the forest seems to be a little bigger...

"On the right in front, the birds standing on the branches of the third and fourth trees, have you seen them?" Zihui said while pointing his fingers

Pointing, "This is called the scorching bird. It is a kind of spirit beast domesticated in the outer valley by the sect. You can use a special method to drive them to participate in sowing."

Lin Mianmian looked up, and saw a dozen big birds on the lush tree. They looked dusty, and they were only half as big as himself... Especially the long beak, each of them It looks like an enlarged version of the pickaxe, which can be as long as half a bird... It looks like a group of flying pickaxes.

I never thought that fifteen minutes ago, I was still in a place similar to an ordinary courtyard in the mortal world.After I followed Senior Sister Zihui into this forest, I didn't walk for a long time. Along the way, I saw water spray bees that looked like bees, but there were two fists of adult men, only on the ground. Half of the head is exposed, and it is said that the length of the underground can exceed two meters. There are cave earthworms with a body like copper and iron, and there are some pink ones at the foot of some trees. It is said that the half-moon ermine will bite people for half a month if it is woken up...

In addition to the scorching bird that he saw just now, Lin Mianmian has already seen four kinds of spirit beasts that are said to be kept in Waigu by the Five Elements Sect and can assist low-level disciples in their daily tasks.And none of these four spirit beasts appeared in the "Food Classic".

Was the Chi-Ji five-scaled fish a coincidence, or did I not know enough spirit beasts?

Just as Lin Mianmian was walking with Zihui all the way and couldn't help thinking about "The Book of Food", there was a burst of frequent and hurried footsteps behind the two of them.

It was the first time I walked this woods, even though I was thinking about the "Food Classic" along the way, Lin Mianmian also paid a lot of attention to the surroundings.The sound of footsteps did not come suddenly, it was only heard from a very far away place at first, but for some reason, the sound of footsteps rose and fell very fast, and within a few breaths, they approached behind the two of them from that far away place.

Lin Mianmian didn't know if Zihui heard it before, but the two turned their heads in the same way.

I saw the direction they came from, and two phantoms among the trees approached rapidly.Zihui frowned quickly, and her complexion suddenly became unsightly.

Looking at the two people who looked like people from a distance, Lin Mianmian was slightly relieved. Needless to say, it must be some kind of fairy trick.Lin Mianmian only thought that the two were just passing by, but he did not expect that the approaching person slowed down slowly, and finally stopped a few steps away.

It was them... Seeing who it was, Lin Mianmian's expression turned ugly.One is Wang Fang, who guides a new batch of beginner disciples to lead Qi into the body, and the foundation-building Dzogchen realm, and the other... is the older sister of the boy who keeps saying that she wants to deal with Xiao Sanhua and the others.

"Senior Brother Wang." Zihui's expression of walking with Lin Mianmian before introducing the spirit beast was gone, and she held her breath and slightly arched her hand to one of the visitors, glanced at the little girl beside Wang Fang, and lightly Pulling Lin Mianmian, he motioned, "Mianmian, you have drawn your breath into your body, come to see Senior Brother Wang."

Although everyone had already called senior brother and senior sister when they joined the Five Elements Sect in Yingxiancheng before, but if the rules are strictly followed, this call of senior brother and senior sister really needs to be successful in attracting energy into the body, and when they are on the road of cultivating immortals together, they will be called more. It's justifiable.

"Lin Mianmian, I met Senior Brother Wang." Lin Mianmian imitated Zi Hui and bowed to Wang Fang.

"Junior Sister Qin, Junior Sister Lin." Wang Fang nodded with a slight smile. A small porcelain bottle with water-blue ripples floated in front of Lin Mianmian, "Introducing qi into the body is just the beginning, and the road to cultivation is long. With Junior Sister Lin's aptitude, it may be even more difficult to advance in the future. Meeting is fate, and this bottle attracts spirits." Congratulations to my senior sister that you finally succeeded in drawing qi into your body, but with my senior sister's aptitude, this bottle of spirit elixir is probably a secret investment. Anyway, I hope my junior sister will continue to work hard."

Why does this sound so awkward...

Lin Mianmian didn't reach out to pick up the small porcelain bottle, but turned to look at Zihui.

Zihui was also very depressed.I had heard Abai say that the group of new disciples had conflicts with Lin Mianmian before, but I didn't expect that although senior brother Wang didn't have much contact with him, he seemed to be a gentleman this week, so why did he have a conflict with Lin Mianmian today? Such a disciple who has just entered the qi training period cares about it.

"The little girl next to senior brother, is she also a young junior sister who has successfully introduced Qi into the body?" Zihui didn't give Lin Mian any words.

Mian accepted or refused the hint, but suddenly asked about the little girl Wang Fang brought with him.

"Exactly." Wang Fang looked at the little girl beside him, "I almost forgot about you, so please say hello to Senior Sister."

"Wang Chuanying has met Senior Sister Qin." The little girl, who was wearing the same beige-gray robe issued by the sect as Lin Mianmian, smiled sweetly at Zihui.

"Meeting is fate, junior sister, take it." Zihui touched the storage bag, and a bottle that looked the same as Lin Mianmian's in front of her flew to Wang Chuanying.

"Junior sister, what do you mean?" Although Wang Fang still had a smile on his face, there was a bit of chill in his eyes.

what for?You are a senior who is about to break through the realm and become a golden elixir after the completion of the foundation. First, you said something to humiliate the disciples who just entered the qi training stage, and then you slapped the face with a bottle of Yinling Pill that the sect will distribute to the disciples every month. What do you mean?

Zihui has always been upright and not good at words. If he hadn't been familiar with Yingfu some time ago when he was doing the task of recruiting people in Yingxian City, he would have taught him a lot. He said all the words that were lingering in his heart, and then returned Wang Fang's bottle directly.Anyway, this is in the sect, so Wang Fang can't do anything.

However, Zi Hui, who is at the seventh level of Qi training, can't say this, but there are still people who can say it.

"What's the meaning? Isn't it just sending things to the younger generation, can there be any deep meaning?"

Before anyone arrives, the sound arrives first.

The four of them raised their heads together, and saw Yuan Zhaoyang stepping on a wooden plank, flying down from mid-air slowly.

"Senior Sister Yuan..." The four of them had different expressions, and their voices also greeted the visitor with uneven voices.

Yuan Zhaoyang's eyes drifted across the face of the beaming Zihui, hurriedly turned around the respectful Lin Mianmian at the side, and then fell on Wang Fang, "What? Brother Wang's return gift to sister Zihui Any dissatisfaction?"

Didn't it mean that although Senior Sister Yuan accepted the task of teaching the former group of disciples to draw Qi into the body, she has been in retreat and has not had much contact with them?Why is it such a coincidence today...

Wang Anxin was worried, but he didn't show it on his face. He just smiled and said, "I'm not looking at Junior Sister Qin's Qi training period, and it's also the time to consume the elixir. How can I let her spend money?"

It sounds reasonable, but I always feel like I've been bullied again... Zihui took a deep breath.

"Zihui has some kindness, and Junior Sister Wang just keeps it." Yuan Zhaoyang patted a small porcelain box with the same water-blue ripples from the storage bag and brought it to Wang Chuanying, "What did Junior Brother Wang say before?" Come on, meeting is fate? This nourishing elixir, you can keep it."

"Thank you, Senior Sister Yuan." Yangling Pill... Wang Chuanying couldn't help but received the small porcelain box floating in front of her, paused for a moment, and also took the small porcelain bottle that Zihui had just given, and said with a sweet smile again, "Thank you, Senior Sister Qin."

Before Wang Fang could signal to stop it, Wang Chuanying had already accepted the two pills and opened the small porcelain box Yuan Zhaoyang gave him.

When she saw the three pills in the porcelain box, Wang Chuanying couldn't hide the joy on her face, "Senior Sister Yuan is really expensive."

On the contrary, the smile on Wang Fang's face couldn't hold back any longer, he turned his head to Wang Chuanying and said, "This nourishing elixir is of great benefit to you, you have to practice hard, don't let down Senior Sister Yuan's wishes."

"Yes, senior brother." Wang Chuanying touched the small porcelain box in her hand, and couldn't help but continued, "I know, this nourishing elixir, disciples can only get one from the sect in half a year, it is for nourishing spiritual energy. , the high-grade elixir for repairing meridians and dantian, compared to...cough, I will use it well, and I will not disappoint Senior Sister Yuan's intentions." I almost accidentally complained about the Yinling Pill sent by Senior Brother Wang, but fortunately I am smart , stopped the conversation in time.

If someone gives you a bottle of the lowest-level Yinling Pill, you give him three Nurturing Pills, one of which can be worth twenty or thirty bottles of Yinling Pills, okay?Are you stupid?Are you on our side?Zihui almost couldn't hold back the raging complaints in her body.

"Some kind of intention?" Yuan Zhaoyang blinked in confusion, "What kind of intention? It's just a few low-level pills distributed by the sect. I just heard the meaning of Wang Shidi's words. I don’t have any of these low-level pills for the younger generation. It’s hard to figure this out, and I don’t know if it fits the trend. By the way, Zihui, have you made any progress in tempering?

Why does the Yinling Pill on his body still appear to be handed out? "

What?

Zihui was stunned. Although he heard that the skill of burning spirit stones such as the method of quenching pills, he could get rich if he practiced it, but he didn't have enough spirit stones to get started.

"That's right. If it is obtained after tempering, it will not be an ordinary low-level pill. It seems that it will not be easy to match the taste of Wang Shidi's gifts." Yuan Zhaoyang didn't wait for Zihui to catch up. He touched his chin carefully, as if he had figured it out, narrowed his almond eyes, and smiled.It's just that when I saw Lin Mianmian from the corner of my eye, I saw her lowered eyes, only staring at the ground at the tip of her toes, as if she was listening respectfully to something that had nothing to do with her. Lips... Yuan Zhaoyang's heart skipped a beat, and when he looked at Wang Fang again, he became even more displeased.

"Senior Sister Yuan..." Wang Fang's face darkened completely, "As a senior, it's a good intention to send some pills to help the younger generation, why did Senior Sister Yuan take a low-level pill in a disdainful tone? .”

"Isn't it true that pills are low-grade?" Yuan Zhaoyang sneered.

"As a senior, it is a good intention to send some pills that will help the cultivation of the younger generation. Regardless of whether the pills are good or bad, they are all helpful for cultivation. How can you insult your heart with its quality?" Wang Fang can see Yuan Zhaoyang's provocation made her feel angry, and her words lost the usual modesty on the surface.It's just a monk of the same level as myself, but just a guest minister of the Five Elements Sect. I thought that she had reached the Foundation Establishment Dzogchen before me, so I gave her a little more face. It seemed that someone didn't know how to advance or retreat.

"As a senior, it is a good intention to encourage the younger generation, but it is difficult to improve one's qualifications, and a mere bottle of Yinling Pill can be called a bright pearl by you. Regardless of the foundation, monks have the opportunity to cultivate the Dao. Others What will happen in the future, how can you be the one who can tell in one word." Yuan Zhaoyang's words were full of anger, and with a wave of his sleeves, the bottle of Yinling Pill that had been stagnant in front of Lin Mianmian turned towards Wang Fang. Smash it.

Wang Fang reached out to catch the porcelain bottle, but it seemed that the porcelain bottle was only touched by Yuan Zhaoyang with a light wave, but when he caught it, his mouth was numb.Wang Fang suddenly put away his contempt for Yuan Zhaoyang under his anger.Damn it, people who stay in the Foundation Establishment Dzogchen for a long time are indeed stronger than me... But, after I condense the golden core...

"It turns out that Senior Sister Yuan didn't want to say that the elixir I gave was low-grade, but that she was complaining that I spoke too harshly to Junior Sister Lin just now." Wang Fang took a deep breath, and when he spoke again, he was calm, "I was reckless, I I just want to stimulate Lin's fighting spirit, and there is no malice. I hope that Lin will not care about my temporary nonsense..." After finishing speaking, Wang Fang made a shallow bow to Lin Mianmian.

Yuan Zhaoyang didn't expect Wang Fang to be able to bend and stretch to this extent.

"I don't care." Lin Mianmian looked flat.

Zihui only felt that the dark breath in her heart had finally disappeared.Mianmian is really good, Senior Brother Wang politely took up such a big step, if you want to change someone, don't say that you are in awe, you should be polite, no matter what, you will be able to look messed up again harmonious.It's still Mianmian who is very powerful, looking at the grandeur that doesn't take it to heart at all.

Wang Fang stood up straight again in embarrassment, and looked at Yuan Zhaoyang: "Actually, it's all a misunderstanding, it's good to talk about it now. I also have a few nourishing pills here, and I will treat it as an apology for Junior Sister Lin. Let's write it off..." Then, Wang Fang took two small porcelain boxes out of the storage bag again, and drove them to Lin Mianmian.

"No need." Yuan Zhaoyang waved in the air, and before the two porcelain boxes flew to Lin Mianmian's side, they were bounced back halfway.

"Senior Sister Yuan..." Wang Fang was really annoyed.It's just a disciple who has just entered the Qi training period, and he has spoken softly and paid compensation, so why is Yuan Zhaoyang so persistent?

"Let's go." Yuan Zhaoyang could see that Lin Mianmian hadn't just pretended to be so bland just now, but was really tired and didn't want to make more entanglements.In this way, Yuan Zhaoyang, who wanted to complain a few more words, didn't want to say more, and just sent those two people away.

"..." Wang Fang held back his anger, and no longer promised face. He flicked his sleeves, activated the speed running charms on the two of them, and Wang Chuanying, who also looked very bad, walked all the way to the destination and left.

Zihui watched the two leave without a trace, then turned to look at Yuan Zhaoyang: "Senior Sister Yuan...

... "

"Well, I'll supply you with the pills." Yuan Zhaoyang took several bottles of pills from the storage bag that looked more powerful than the previous ones, and put them in Zihui's hands.

"It's not this..." Zihui hurriedly caught the bottle.

"If you want to learn the art of tempering pills, I can also teach you. You pay half of the entry materials, and I help you with the other half." Yuan Zhaoyang continued.

Zihui: "..."

"What's wrong? Don't want to learn?" Yuan Zhaoyang chatted with Zihui, but his attention was always on Lin Mianmian who was standing respectfully aside.Why does she look so dumb, why doesn't she even raise her head...

Zihui quickly shook her head: "No, no, I'll learn. I just want to hear what Senior Sister Yuan has to say. By the way, I just wanted to say, how about we offend people from Zhenfeng like this? Brother Wang's master is Zhenfeng Elder Jindan..."

"When you hit him in the face with a bottle of the same spirit elixir, why didn't you remember that he was the disciple of the elder Jindan of Zhenfeng?" Yuan Zhaoyang turned to look at Zihui.

"I don't remember." Zihui secretly glanced at the little girl who was standing obediently, "I'm not..."

"It's all my fault, and I have caused the two senior sisters to suffer." Lin Mianmian said, and continued Zihui's unfinished words, "I think they are like this this time, because I had a conflict with them last time."

Zi Huixiang pinched Lin Mianmian's arm angrily: "I can't even call it a burden. I'm your senior sister, so I should protect you."

Yuan Zhaoyang's gaze stayed on Zihui's hand twisting Lin Mianmian's clothes for a long time, and the small sparks on his fingertips crackled.

"Senior Sister Yuan, don't be angry. Wang Fang seems to want to save face. This time you slapped me in the face so painfully, and we are relieved." Zi Hui looked at Xiao Huo and said thoughtfully.

"Did I slap him in the face?" Yuan Zhaoyang watched Zihui let go of Lin Mianmian, rubbed his fingers, and the little spark went out.

"You hit him with a medicine bottle..." Zihui tilted his head and thought for a while, "I just don't know if he will come back with revenge. By the way, when we bring the new disciple who introduces Qi into the body to move, we have to walk and talk to him." Let them introduce these spirit beasts of the Five Elements Sect. Senior brother Wang used the speed-moving talisman just now, is this considered a violation? Is it a trick?"

"...This is just a common practice, not a school rule, right?" Yuan Zhaoyang frowned slightly, "Zihui, you have always been simple-minded, why do you still know what to say now?"

Zihui smiled embarrassedly: "It's not senior brother Yingfu, who has taught me to be defensive in the past few months. Is it not a handle? Then I will take pictures for nothing..." Zihui spread out Opening the palm, a snow-white oval stone was exposed.

On the one hand, you sold Yingfu who taught you in a blink of an eye, and on the other hand, you know how to use photo stones to leave evidence... I really don’t know if Yingfu’s teaching is considered a success.

"Don't worry too much. Although his master is the elder of Jindan, there is still a peak master on the formation. You are all in the Qi training period, and he can't do anything in the sect. I'll give you some advice later. Refining two magic tools. Besides, I was the one who hit him in the face. He knows he can't beat me, and he probably won't do anything to you. How is that different from confronting me directly?" Although Yuan Zhaoyang was dissatisfied, Hui and Lin Mianmian stood so close and even touched their arms, but she also watched Zihui's protection of Lin Mianmian before, so she naturally eased Kuan Zihui's heart by speaking out.

Even though she has been taught by Yingfu for a long time, Zihui's fundamentals are still simple. After Yuan Zhaoyang persuaded her, she relaxed.

When Yuan Zhaoyang offered to continue to take Lin Mianmian forward, and asked Zihui to go back and tidy up his belongings and prepare to learn the art of tempering elixir, Zihui happily... left...

However, not long after Zihui left, Yuan Zhaoyang felt a little regretful.

Lin Mianmian, who can talk to the little Sanhua who can't speak on weekdays from morning to night, and can tell stories for most of the night on his own, now looks like a gourd with its mouth sawn off. The meaning of speaking actively.

And Yuan Zhaoyang... When he was facing Lin Mianmian, he still felt guilty and couldn't find a topic for a long time.

The two walked all the way, quietly silent...

It's better to follow them invisibly all the time... At least when Lin Mianmian is facing Zihui, he will still talk about her.

A few sentences.

It's all because of that Wang Fang, who ran over to provoke him so much that he had to go far away to remove the invisibility spell, and then pretended to fly by.

Depressed Yuan Zhaoyang rubbed his fingertips unconsciously, and the small sparks slowly condensed into small fireballs.

But Yuan Zhaoyang is the one who is depressed.Wang Fang took Wang Chuanying all the way quickly, and couldn't figure out how Yuan Zhaoyang appeared so coincidentally.In the sect, it has been rumored that Yuan Zhaoyang retreated to condense the golden elixir, but today it seems that there is no shadow of the golden elixir.And that Lin Mianmian, didn't it mean that Ah Bai went to her a few times, how could Yuan Zhaoyang defend her like this?After all, he is a guest from outside, doesn't he know at all whether a disciple with extremely poor qualifications is more important than a Jindan Daoist?

"Senior brother..." Wang Anxin was thinking about a lot of things, and he didn't pay attention for a while, and the speed of his sprint became faster and faster. Wang Chuanying, who had just drawn his breath into his body, finally couldn't bear it, and shouted.

"What?" Wang Fang turned his head, the haze in his eyes had not completely dissipated.

Wang Chuanying was startled, and said in a low voice, "Brother...it seems to be too fast."

You were the one who said the walking was too slow before, but now you are the one who said that the speed talisman was too fast... Wang Fang took a deep breath, stopped the speed talisman, and the two of them slowly returned to normal pace: "It's better now. "

"Thank you, brother." Wang Chuanying looked at Wang Fang again, and the man's eyes were already gentle as usual, as if the haze just now was his own illusion.

"Between you and me, thank you for what you say." Wang Fang smiled softly, "In the future, I will have Junior Sister Lao to support me a lot."

"What did you say, brother? My brother has been with my uncle for many years, and his status in the heart of the old man is far higher than mine. I have to rely on my brother." Wang Chuanying said meekly with her eyebrows lowered. Xiao Huihui's arrogance.

"It's right to support each other." Wang Fang smiled, accepted it as soon as it was good, and stopped talking about this topic.

What the truth is, we will find out in the future.I really want to win her favor and win her support, otherwise I would lower my status and get entangled with Lin Mianmian who has just drawn her into her body, and it's not for the sake of smoothing her heart.Although the plan was messed up by Yuan Zhaoyang, fortunately, Wang Chuanying was a little closer to him.

Hehe, the support of blogging, the one I blogged with was not the support of her uncle, but the support of her future husband-in-law.
