Li Changan observed that the person outside the door was about thirty or forty years old, short and thin, with a goatee beard. His face was dark, as if he was malnourished. He was wearing homespun clothes and trousers, with the cuffs of the trousers and cuffs rolled up, and he was wearing hemp shoes, as if he was going to catch the sea.

people.

The thin man spoke first: "Are you Junior Brother Li Chang'an? I am Qi Fengzhang."

When Li Changan heard this man announcing his name, he immediately bowed and saluted: "I have met my senior brother. My younger brother Li Changan, I am rude for not being able to greet him from a distance."

He has heard of the title of Senior Brother, and today is the first time he meets him.

Qi Fengzhang waved his hand: "Brothers from the same family, you are welcome."

Li Changan invited his senior brother to take a seat in the main hall, and while making tea, he said: "I don't know, senior brother will come back today."

Qi Fengzhang said: "I came back from duty and reported back to the master first. I heard that the master had accepted a new disciple, so I came over to see him. I see that you are full of energy and energy. You should have made progress in the first level of Qi cultivation, right?

”

Li Changan poured tea for his senior brother and said modestly: "There has been progress, but there are also some confusions."

Qi Fengzhang did not hesitate and talked about some of his experiences in cultivation.

Through the conversation, Li Changan felt that the senior brother was not impressive in appearance, but he showed a calm aura when he spoke. He and the second senior brother should have been influenced by the master, or their personalities were similar.

"Xin Qi has taken over my duty. If you have any questions in the future, just come to me."

"Thank you, senior brother."

Qi Fengzhang drank a cup of tea, then stood up and prepared to leave. His behavior was straightforward and he ignored common etiquette.

Li Changan sent Qi Fengzhang outside the door, and saw a handyman running over.

"Tell the two uncles." The handymen also called them uncles.

"The family members of the fourth uncle are here to send congratulatory gifts to the fifth uncle."

Li Chang was stunned for a moment. How could a fourth senior brother whom he had never met give him a gift? I heard from Xin Qi and Mei Xiao that this fourth senior brother was not on the mountain.

He looked at his senior brother Qi Fengzhang. "Senior brother, is this appropriate?"

Qi Fengzhang said to the handyman: "Let them come over."

After the handyman left, he said to Li Changan: "The fourth brother gives you a gift, just accept it, you're welcome."

Li Changan asked: "I haven't met Fourth Senior Brother yet, how can I accept gifts from others?"

Qi Fengzhang said: "The second and third children probably didn't explain it to you. Something happened to the fourth child when he was in the foundation building period, and his foundation was completely destroyed. Now he is just an ordinary person.

The master thought that he had made great contributions to the sect, so he let him retire in Huicheng at the foot of the mountain and arranged an estate for him."

Li Changan took a gentle breath. It turned out that "not on the mountain" actually meant this.

After waiting for a while, I saw a team of people led by a handyman walking over. The team was carrying several large boxes. The leader was a middle-aged man wearing a gorgeous robe. When he saw Qi Fengzhang, he stepped forward and made a plop.

Kneeling on the ground: "This junior has met the elder."

Qi Fengzhang hummed and introduced both parties.

The middle-aged man bowed to Li Changan: "I have met the Fifth Master."

Li Chang felt like he was calling Grandpa Wu.

This man was the eldest son of the fourth senior brother, but he felt a little sorry to be saluted like this by someone older than him: "Get up."

The middle-aged man kept congratulating Li Changan for becoming an official disciple of Changsheng Island. He said that his father had heard the news and immediately prepared a small gift to express his feelings. He handed a gift list to Li Changan.

Li Changan opened the gift list and glanced at it.

The so-called small gift is too modest.

The gift list is divided into two parts. The first part is items that may be used in practice. There is a handle of jade Ruyi, a whisk with agarwood handle, two strings of Ganan beads, some talisman paper, two sets of talisman pens, and a precious ink.

Box, purple gold inkstone, alchemy incense burner, futon scriptures, etc. are all available. The second part is daily necessities, including daily clothes, Taoist robes, crane cloaks, jade crowns and cloud shoes, bamboo flutes, fish drums, etc. Even, in

At the end of the gift list, two bookboys and maids were also listed.

He thought, maybe there is a golden mountain in the home of these four senior brothers, right?

Li Changan looked at Qi Fengzhang again.

Qi Fengzhang signaled to accept it.

Li Changan silently put away the gift list and asked the middle-aged man: "How are you doing, Fourth Senior Brother?"

The middle-aged man replied: "My father is getting older and I miss several masters every day."

Qi Fengzhang said: "When we have time, we will also visit him."

Li Changan thought for a while and said to the middle-aged man: "When you go back, give my regards to Fourth Senior Brother. Thank you Fourth Senior Brother for your kindness. I will accept the gift, but I don't like being served by others. Take the book boy and maid back with you."

”

He has too many secrets, and he doesn’t dare to let others peep into them.

Qi Fengzhang waved to the middle-aged man. "Fifth Junior Brother said, you can take him back."

The middle-aged man did not dare to disobey and asked his men to carry the gifts into the house, then bowed and said goodbye.

Li Changan accepted such a gift inexplicably and didn't know how to return the gift. Changsheng Island's supply for formal disciples seemed to him to be very abundant. But this gift was even more high-end.

Qi Fengzhang saw Li Changan's concerns and said: "Every New Year, the fourth child will give us some gifts. After accepting his gift, when it's his birthday, you go to the birthday banquet and sit there, it will be considered as a return gift.

Lao Si's business also relies on the protection of his master. We took the time to express our support. His business went smoothly and no one dared to embarrass him.

Compared with our practice, these things are not worth paying attention to."

When Li Changan heard what his senior brother said, he accepted the gift calmly. He also understood why Changsheng Island wanted to protect a city with hundreds of thousands of people.

In the next month, Li Changan lived a very peaceful life and successfully practiced the first level of Qi nourishing to perfection.

The moment the technique was completed, Li Changan felt fluctuations coming from within the Lingtian space.

He silently checked that there was no one around, and then entered the space. After entering from the entrance, he found that the area of ​​the spiritual field in the space seemed to have expanded a bit, and the small tree in the middle of the field had changed.

The little tree has grown taller, and there is one more leaf on the branches. Although it still looks a little shabby, it is a little better than before.

He has determined that this small tree is closely connected to himself. Every improvement in his cultivation can be reflected in the small tree.

In the space, only that one spiritual spring has not changed, neither more nor less.

Li Changan left the space and reported his progress to his senior brother Qi Fengzhang.

Qi Fengzhang immediately reported it to his master.

Taoist Muli did not show up, and only used talismans to communicate, expressing that he was satisfied with the speed of Li Changan's practice.

Li Changan began to practice the second level of Qi nourishing period.

Because the speed of space denial of spiritual energy has not changed. The amount of spiritual energy required by the second level of practice is twice as much as that of the first level. Therefore, the amount of spiritual energy that can be denied by space cannot keep up with the consumption, and the supply has become tight.

.

The speed of his practice had to slow down.

In his free time during practice, Li Changan also tried to find some spiritual objects to further expand the space and increase the speed of denial. Unfortunately, spiritual objects are difficult to find.

He has no merit points and cannot use the spiritual cave on Chaoyin Peak. He can only make full use of the denied spiritual energy.

Four months later, he had mastered the second-level technique. There were still less than seven months left before the deadline set by Taoist Muli.

The third level of Qi nourishing technique requires twice as much spiritual energy as the second level. Li Changan’s practice speed has become very slow.

He took advantage of his free time to ask his senior brothers and sisters for advice. Is there any solution?

However, the three senior brothers and sisters advised him not to be distracted, let alone take shortcuts.

Li Changan can only use water to sharpen his skills and accumulate bit by bit.
