Xu Maolin's cousin, Zhang Zhen, took a fancy to Zhou Qinghao and wanted to take her as his concubine.
When she refused, Zhang Zhen slandered the island owner's wife, saying that the Zhou family had an immortal's treasure, and if they found it and gave it to Xu Maolin, Xu Maolin might become an immortal in one step.
The wife of the island owner, who loved her son very much, lent Zhang Zhen a lot of people to ensure that he got the treasure so that her son could become an immortal.
A few days ago, Zhang Zhen was entangled with her in every possible way. She accidentally smashed Zhang Zhen to death with a vase, which prompted the island owner's wife to order her to be captured and demanded her life.
Yun Ling watched the little girl ramble on about the cause and effect, feeling a little suspicious.
Look at this sallow little face, it's obvious that it hasn't grown yet, and it can only be regarded as pretty at best.
Such an appearance could tempt someone to forcefully take her as a concubine? Why didn't she believe it?
Yun Ling smiled at the little girl and asked, "Is the immortal's treasure real or Zhang Zhen's fabrication?"
Zhou Qinghao's face turned red when she heard this, and she said, "He...he made it up."
His voice was like a mosquito, his eyes were slightly lowered, and he didn't dare to look at her.
Come on, this is still a little girl who is not good at lying.
Yun Ling chuckled and forgave her for hiding it. She was not interested in treasures or anything like that.
If it were really a treasure, the Zhou family wouldn't have withered like this.
"Let's go, I'll take you to find another island to live on." Yun Ling said.
Near this sea area, there are countless mortal islands like Merlin Island. Just find one that is richer and the islanders are more docile, and find some gold and silver for her, which will be enough for Zhou Qinghao to live a stable life.
It's just a piece of cake for her.
But Zhou Qinghao grabbed her sleeve and asked with expectant eyes: "Immortal, can you accept me as your disciple?"
Yun Ling looked at her puzzled: "Cultivation requires spiritual roots. Although this island is a bit remote, there should be monks from Tianhai Pavilion who come to accept disciples, right? Didn't you say that the son of the island owner was accepted by Tianhai Pavilion?
Well. At your age, you should have tested your spiritual roots and know whether you have immortality, right?"
Zhou Qinghao shook her head: "Master Immortal, I haven't taken the test. My mother was seriously ill the year before last, so I didn't go. Can you see if I have any immortal qualifications? If not, I will give up this idea and live a good life.
.”
As the little girl spoke, mist filled her eyes.
Yun Ling looked at her, as if he saw himself in Gujing Village back then, with no one to rely on, a uncertain future, and no idea where to go.
"Okay, then I'll take a look."
...
The crimson sunset filled the entire sky, coating the deep blue sea with a layer of light purple rouge.
Someone emerged from the sparkling sea.
Yun Ling took a deep breath, but still found nothing.
"Master, you're coming up!" The person jumped down from a rock and ran towards her with a smile.
It was Zhou Qinghao.
She is now a fair and tender little beauty.
A year ago, she used the spirit detection technique to find out that Zhou Qinghao had the root of fire wood and was a good candidate for cultivating immortality.
Yun Ling asked her if she wanted to join Tianhai Pavilion. She could ask her friends to recommend her. She expected that Tianhai Pavilion would be very willing to accept her as a disciple.
But Zhou Qinghao shook her head and wanted to become her teacher and join the Xuanling Sect like her.
She explained to Zhou Qinghao that she could not accept her as a disciple since she had not yet formed an elixir, but she could be introduced to Yuzhuo Peak to become a disciple of the inner peak.
Unexpectedly, Zhou Qinghao refused, and wholeheartedly called her master, saying that she was willing to wait for her to form an elixir before performing the apprenticeship ceremony.
This made Yun Ling dumbfounded. She thought Jiedan was a kind of cabbage.
Her injury was not healed and she could not make the long journey back to Xuanling Sect, so she took Zhou Qinghao to find a deserted island to stay temporarily.
Over the past year, she has been recovering from her injuries while exploring the surrounding seafloor. When she has free time, she has to teach Zhou Qing how to practice.
This Ten Thousand Years Nurturing Tree is really a good thing. She originally thought that her injuries would take at least three to five years to recover. Unexpectedly, with the help of this tree and the Mu Shen Dan, her soul's injuries were cured by seven.
Seven, eight, eight.
Fortunately, she fed Feifei all the remaining unknown fruits, and his injuries finally improved. Now that he was sleeping and waking up, she felt relieved and stayed around here.
In fact, she no longer had high hopes of finding Ye Ruzhan. The rapids on the seabed that day were extremely fast, so he should have been taken elsewhere.
She didn't believe that something unexpected would happen to him, but it was a pity that she never put the spiritual energy mark on the sound transmission jade with him, and now she has no way to contact him.
Zhou Qing's best skill was the wood skill she found in Liu Zichu's storage ring, so she reluctantly let her learn it first.
On this desert island with weak spiritual energy, she has already reached the third level of Qi refining in just one year. She is indeed a good qualification and cannot be delayed.
Yun Ling wanted to take her back to Xuanling Sect as soon as possible, so that when she entered Yuzhuo Peak, her master would give her the appropriate skills.
"Master, what are you doing?" Zhou Qing looked at Yun Ling in surprise and asked.
Why did Master change from a woman to a man after not seeing him for an hour?
"This..." Yun Ling didn't know how to explain it to her.
It has been more than a year since she killed Liu Zichu, and I don’t know if the Liu family is still looking for her.
Half a year ago, Zhang Ruhua had summoned her and asked her if she had any elixir that could help her regain the golden elixir, but she didn't mention anything about the Liu family.
Yun Ling estimated that she was recovering from her injuries, and she was currently only thinking about re-forming the elixir. But after all, she had a meridian that had been suffering from illness for hundreds of years, and she felt that there was little hope of re-forming the elixir in a short period of time.
Fortunately, Zhang Ruhua was still young and could use the miraculous medicine for a few more years before it would be too late to form a golden elixir again. She also promised Zhang Ruhua that when she re-formed the golden elixir, she would give her a realm-breaking elixir to help her.
Hey, Zhang Ruhua’s realm-breaking pill, senior sister’s beauty-preserving pill, Yue Wuxian’s spiritual wine pill, and the spiritual pill for senior brother Xiao Ran. Not much time has passed, and why does she owe so much?
Debt!
After practicing in Canglanhai for a while, she wanted to go home.
Taking advantage of the opportunity to take Zhou Qinghao back, she simply went back to retreat for a while to prepare some elixirs to pay off her debts.
"I'm going to take you back to Xuanling Sect, but I killed a male cultivator some time ago, and his family has been asking me to pay for it with his life. So you have to remember my name along the way, it's Gu Yuqing, not Yun Ling
, remember it!" Yun Ling warned Zhou Qinghao.
Zhou Qinghao nodded, but asked to go back to Meilin Island before leaving.
Yun Ling thought she wanted to go back to pay homage to her relatives. After all, the mountains were high and the road was far away, and she didn't know when she would be able to come back. It was only human nature to pay homage and tell her ancestors about the incident.
Unexpectedly, Zhou Qinghao said that the Zhou family was buried at sea and there was no need to pay tribute. When asked why she wanted to go back to the Zhou family's old house, she smiled mysteriously and insisted on going back.
At this time, the Zhou family's old house had been occupied by the Zhang family. Zhou Qinghao led Yun Ling to dodge and sneak into an abandoned courtyard.
This small courtyard is dilapidated, except for the rippling water from a deep well in the middle that has not dried up.
Zhou Qing finally removed the windlass from the well and jumped straight in.
Yun Ling: "..."
In fact, she can help her drain the water before putting it in again!
