Chapter 23 Rescue(2/3)
"That main hall is the Liuli Palace. Some uncles will give lectures there and teach the basic knowledge of alchemy."
"This is Cangyan Palace, specially used for teaching alchemy training."
Luo Ruxi pointed to a large spiritual field in the distance: "We also have a course on planting spiritual grass. There will be several pieces of land for you. You can plant whatever you want, but the spiritual grass required by Elder Lin must be
Plant it, otherwise you will fail the assessment! Remember, you must protect the spiritual grass and don't let it be eaten by birds!"
Xie Wanyou: "It sounds like, senior sister, you have had a painful experience in this area..."
Speaking of this, Luo Ruxi was heartbroken: "That unlucky guy is me! Just because I didn't protect my spiritual grass, I failed the exam twice! This is the third time I have retaken the exam!"
Xie Wanyou: "..."
While they were talking, many Alchemy Sect disciples suddenly walked towards them and greeted them with a smile: "Hello, senior sister, little junior sister... hello."
Seeing Xie Wanyou, everyone's eyes couldn't help but light up.
Xie Wanyou nodded to them, but what was strange was that as soon as some senior brothers came into contact with her gaze, their faces began to turn red and their words became hesitant.
Xie Wanyou: "???"
Before she could react, the senior brothers who suddenly became very shy were squeezed away by the senior sisters who gathered around her.
Hearing that Luo Ruxi was going to take Xie Wanyou to get medicine, the senior sisters enthusiastically expressed their intention to send Xie Wanyou along.
Xie Wanyou was confused and surrounded by a group of overly enthusiastic senior sisters, and Xiaobai was also confused and praised again and again by the new aunts.
After arriving at Hanxiang Pavilion, Xiaobai's arms were stuffed with a lot of candies, and there was even an osmanthus candy on his head.
Xie Xiaobai had never been praised for his cuteness by so many people. He shyly retracted into his mother's arms, only revealing a pair of big gray-blue eyes to observe the aunts around him, and the tip of his exposed tail slightly increased.
Shaked.
It was a little dizzy - until its mother took the medicine, said goodbye to her many aunts, and returned to Linshuang Garden to start brewing the medicine. Xie Xiaobai smelled a strong and strange smell, and when she reacted, a bowl of dark
The medicinal soup has been placed in front of it.
Xie Wanyou looked at it with a smile: "Xiao Bai, drink the medicine."
Xie Xiaobai sniffed along the edge of the bowl, and the hair all over his body exploded in an instant.
It was so stimulated by the pungent smell that it sneezed several times in a row. After a long while, it turned to look at Xie Wanyou hesitantly, and asked with a hint of expectation: "Mother...is it really something Xiaobai can drink?"
Xie Wanyou was very sure: "It's the medicine prescribed by the sect master's grandfather himself. Of course you can drink it - but the taste may be a bit bitter."
Hearing his mother say that this bowl of black water was really drinkable, Xie Xiaobai approached it again with some distress, then lowered his head and took a small lick.
Xie Xiaobai: “!!!”
The taste of the black medicinal soup is simply too bitter for the cub to bear!
Xie Xiaobai twisted around in pain and looked at Xie Wanyou with a cry: "Mother, Xiaobai, can you... not drink?"
Xie Wanyou felt a little distressed when she saw it, but without taking the medicine, Xiaobai's wings would not be healed. She thought for a while, stretched out her hand to hold the little thing in her arms: "Xiaobai drinks the medicine, and he will be able to fly in the future, but if he doesn't
If you drink the medicine, Xiaobai will never be able to fly again. Are you sure Xiaobai doesn't want to drink the medicine?"
When Xie Xiaobai heard Xie Wanyou's words, the tips of his ears twitched and he hesitated.
It has never experienced the feeling of flying, and it is impossible not to yearn for it.
Seeing that Xiaobai was shaken, Xie Wanyou continued to coax: "And when Xiaobai can fly, will he be able to fly with my mother? Alas, my mother has no wings, so she can't fly even if she wants to..."
When Xie Xiaobai heard the words, he stopped hesitating and got out of Xie Wanyou's arms in one swift motion. He said seriously: "Xiaobai wants to drink medicine. My mother has no wings. From now on, Xiaobai will take my mother to fly."
Xie Wanyou was moved after hearing this, kissed its little head vigorously, and took a big sip: "Okay! Mother, wait!"
Having made up his mind, Xie Xiaobai came to the bowl of black medicinal soup again, closed his eyes like a strong man breaking his wrist, lowered his head and started ton ton ton ton ton.
The medicine was really bitter, so Xie Wanyou fed him sugar several times before Xiaobai could finish the bowl of medicine.
After drinking the medicine, Xiaobai was already a soulless cub, slumped limply in Xie Wanyou's arms, his tail no longer wagging: "Mother, how long will it take for Xiaobai to drink the medicine before he can fly?"
Xie Wanyou pinched its paws and said, "When Xiaobai's wings start to itch, you don't need to drink medicine."
Xie Xiaobai didn't know when his wings would start to itch. He bit Xie Wanyou's clothes, hoping that when he woke up tomorrow, his wings would start to itch.
Unfortunately, this expectation was disappointed.
The next day, Xie Xiaobai drank another bowl of medicine, cried and lay on Xie Wanyou's shoulder, and followed her to the apprenticeship ceremony.
At this time, all the disciples who were watching the ceremony had arrived.
Among the disciples of the Bixiao Dan Sect, who doesn’t know that a talented young junior sister has come to their sect this year?
What's more, after the junior sister made a sensation in the trial competition, she openly rejected the invitation of the Tianyuan Sect Master and firmly joined the Bixiao Alchemy Sect. This caused the Bixiao Danzong disciples' favorability towards the junior sister to soar to the top.
The current predicament of Bixiao Danzong is a well-known fact, but under such circumstances, the junior sister still chose Bixiao Danzong at the risk of being targeted by Tianyuan Danzong. How can people be moved?
In the main hall, the Bixiao disciples standing on both sides were chatting quietly about this year's trial competition. At a certain moment, the whole place suddenly became quiet.
The Bixiao Sect Master and the elders entered the hall and took their seats one after another. The elders could not hide their smiles on their faces. From time to time they turned their heads to say something to the Sect Master, and the smile lines in the corners of the Sect Master's eyes became more and more profound.
Not long after, the apprenticeship ceremony began.
First, the disciples who had just joined the Bixiao Alchemy Sect this year entered the palace one by one. The elders accepted them into their respective sects and awarded them the waist badges of the Bixiao Alchemy Sect.
The whole ceremony is not complicated. You only need to offer a cup of tea. After the master accepts it, he kowtows and the whole ceremony is completed.
As the sect leader's direct disciple, Xie Wanyou was the last to enter the palace.
Seeing the junior sister appear at the apprenticeship ceremony, all the Bixiao disciples became excited.
"That's Junior Sister Xie? This is so beautiful!"
"Is that the silver-winged moire cat on the little junior sister's shoulder? It's so small and so cute! I heard that it can already talk. Is that true?"
"It's true! Xiaobai is super cute. I touched it yesterday and Xiaobai even called her aunt~"
Amidst the hushed voices of everyone, Xie Wanyou served tea to the sect leader, who took it with a smile and nodded to her.
After the kowtow ceremony, the sect leader personally helped Xie Wanyou up.
Xie Wanyou raised her head and looked at the sect leader. The old man with silver-haired hair was looking at her gently. A strange feeling suddenly arose in Xie Wanyou's heart.
She was stunned for a moment, and suddenly saw Luo Ruxi and Wen Linjian not far away, gesturing wildly at her with their eyes.
Only then did Xie Wanyou react and respectfully called: "Master."
From then on, she officially became a disciple of Bixiao Dan Sect.
**
The day after the apprenticeship ceremony, Xie Wanyou will officially start taking classes at the Bixiao Dan Sect.
She received a bamboo slip, which contained the courses she would take this quarter, class times, assessment requirements, etc., which was similar to a modern class schedule.
Xie Wanyou was so curious that he held the bamboo slip and studied it for a long time.
"Alchemy practical training class, planting class, alchemy theory class... there is even a weapon refining class!"
As an academic who has struggled with liberal arts and science in modern times, Xie Wanyou really finds Danzong’s classes very interesting!
Xie Wanyou lay down on the bed, put down the bamboo slips, and lifted up Xiaobai beside him: "Mom will go to class tomorrow. Does Xiaobai want to go with her?"
Before Xie Xiaobai could figure out the meaning of the word "class", he already nodded without hesitation: "Yes! Xiaobai wants to be with his mother~"
It was held up by Xie Wanyou, and its swaying tail kept brushing against the back of Xie Wanyou's hand, which made Xie Wanyou's heart feel a little itchy. He couldn't help but put Xiaobai on his chest and kiss its head.
Xie Xiaobai narrowed his eyes due to the kiss and asked vaguely: "But mother... what does class mean?"
Xie Wanyou gently bit the tip of its ear: "Mom, I'm learning new knowledge with my aunts and uncles. This is class."
Xie Xiaobai seemed to understand: "Can Xiaobai also take classes?"
Xie Wanyou thought for a while and replied: "Going to class is actually a bit complicated. Xiaobai will have a class with her mother tomorrow and she will know what class is."
Hearing what his mother said, Xiaobai couldn't help but look forward to going to class.
It raised its head and licked Xie Wanyou's chin, then nodded happily: "Gu!"
The next day, the first class that Xie Wanyou took Xiaobai to take was "Basics of Alchemy".
Luo Ruxi originally wanted to accompany Xie Wanyou to the first class after joining the sect, but Luo Ruxi had been in the sect for a long time and had already taken the "basics of alchemy", so she did not come with Xie Wanyou.
There are rows of desks and cushions in Liuli Hall, which looks similar to a modern classroom, except that the chairs are replaced with cushions, and you need to kneel down when listening to classes.
Xie Wanyou is now a well-known junior sister of Bixiao Dan Sect, and almost every senior brother and sister will come over to say hello to her.
Xiao Bai was also particularly popular. He squatted on Xie Wanyou's desk and covered his four paws with his tail a little shyly.
The pendant around its neck changed its appearance, not only covering the small dark red horns on its head, but also changing the shape of its small wings, making it look similar to a kind of "silver-winged moire cat" in the world of cultivation.
Spiritual beast.
This kind of spiritual beast is very common in the world of cultivation, and is often kept as a spiritual pet by monks. The talking "silver-winged moire cat" is not a very rare existence, so it does not attract too much attention.
It wasn't until class started that the senior sisters surrounding Xie Xiaobai dispersed.
Xie Xiaobai listened carefully to the lecture at first, but later on, he couldn't resist the instinct of a cub, and his little head began to move a little bit.
Xie Wanyou saw it funny and let it lie on the unused book. Xie Xiaobai struggled with sleepiness, but in the end he couldn't resist the lullaby-like sound of the elder's lecture and fell asleep with the book on his pillow.
The others found Xiaobai asleep and couldn't help but burst into kind laughter. Xie Wanyou also laughed, rubbed the raised beard around Xiaobai's mouth, and used a piece of pill to block the light for the little thing.
