Bai Qingzhou followed the sound and saw a cute little fat man squatting on the wall of the courtyard, about thirteen or fourteen years old, looking at him curiously.
Bai Qingzhou immediately raised his hands and said, "My name is Bai Qingzhou, and I am the new disciple today."
"New here?"
The fat man jumped directly from the courtyard wall and turned around in the air. His fat body did not affect his flexibility at all, and he landed easily in front of Bai Qingzhou.
The fat man smiled brightly, cupped his hands and said, "Nice to meet you. My name is Ruan Xiuqi. I've just arrived here not long ago."
Looking at the fat man's strong figure, Bai Qingzhou asked softly: "Are you also a cultivator?"
Ruan Xiuqi puffed up his chest, patted his chest, and said proudly: "Of course! I was promoted to the first level of Qi Refining a month ago, and my father said I am a genius."
Genius? Bai Qingzhou couldn't help but think of what Ji Heng said to Xiaohan just now, and asked curiously:
"So how long did it take you to start practicing [Fire Yang Jue] and reach the first level of Qi Refining?"
"Two months!" Ruan Xiuqi said proudly.
Ruan Xiuqi spent two months and Xiaohan spent more than three months. They were both slower than me... Could it be that my potential is really good? Bai Qingzhou thought to himself, but said: "It's amazing."
"Hahaha, you don't have to be depressed. As long as you practice hard, it's still possible to catch up with me, hehe." Ruan Xiuqi patted Bai Qingzhou on the shoulder and consoled him.
Seeing the fat man, who was half a head shorter than himself, stretching out his arms to pat his shoulders, Bai Qingzhou felt dumbfounded.
"By the way, you are new here, so you are also at the first level of Qi Refining?" Ruan Xiuqi suddenly asked.
"Yes, I was just promoted."
"Then you must know this feeling!"
"Huh? How does it feel?" Bai Qingzhou was a little strange.
"It's the feeling of being just an ordinary person at first, but suddenly becoming a martial arts hero, flying over the walls, omnipotent, and suddenly gaining abilities, don't you feel your hands itching?"
"A little bit indeed..."
"Come on then!"
"Come? What are you coming for?"
"fight!"
Bai Qingzhou waved his hand and refused: "No, I have never fought..."
Before he finished speaking, Ruan Xiuqi shouted and rushed over. His white and tender little chubby hands greeted Bai Qingzhou directly.
"Ah!" Unable to dodge, he punched Bai Qingzhou in the eye.
He let out a cry of pain, his eye sockets immediately became sore, and the fat man unexpectedly made a sneak attack.
Bai Qingzhou still wanted to speak, but Ruan Xiuqi didn't give him a chance to speak at all, and punched his chin again. Bai Qingzhou could only stop talking and dodge back in a hurry.
Because he had no fighting experience and didn't know how to deal with it, Bai Qingzhou kept retreating after being beaten. He was hit several times by accident, and he grimaced in pain.
At the same level of Qi Refining, Bai Qingzhou couldn't escape due to his speed. Ruan Xiuqi relentlessly chased him and beat him in the courtyard. For a while, there was a lot of chaos.
Fat fists kept falling on his body, and he was chased and punched a few more times. His arms and head began to feel sore.
Mud Bodhisattva was still very angry, not to mention that the young man was being chased and beaten. Bai Qingzhou felt annoyed, and he stopped running away. He turned around and punched Ruan Xiuqi in the face.
"Well done!" Ruan Xiuqi laughed.
Both sides did not give in, and punched each other hard in the face. As if they were not afraid of pain, they continued to punch each other, forming a fight.
Although Bai Qingzhou had never fought before, he had seen life-and-death fights with his own eyes, and bandits often fought in the village. After watching them many times, he naturally learned some of the techniques.

With some skills, Ruan Xiuqi gradually began to be unable to resist. He was originally a pampered young master who rarely fought with others. His age and height were not an advantage. He was punched in the face several times by Bai Qingzhou. The pain made him unable to help shouting.
cry.
Bai Qingzhou hit Ruan Xiuqi's head with a straight punch from his right hand. Ruan Xiuqi was about to turn sideways to avoid it, but Bai Qingzhou saw the opportunity and kicked Ruan Xiuqi in the foot.
"puff!"
Ruan Xiuqi fell directly to the ground. This time he fell hard. He was shaking his head and just wanted to stand up. However, Bai Qingzhou gave him no chance. He straddled his thighs and rode directly on Ruan Xiuqi's belly. He clamped his legs to prevent him from doing whatever he wanted.
Move and punch twice on the cheek.
"Ahh..." Ruan Xiuqi screamed repeatedly.
Bai Qingzhou grabbed his collar with one hand and clenched his fist into a fist with the other hand to beat him. After a while, Ruan Xiuqi had nosebleeds on his face.
"I give up...I give up!" Ruan Xiuqi shouted.
Upon hearing this, Bai Qingzhou stopped and stood up, panting.
Ruan Xiuqi lay on the ground gasping for air, unwilling to move for a moment, and sighed: "Oh, it hurts me to death..."
Bai Qingzhou shook his sore arm and said at a loss of whether to laugh or cry: "Afraid of pain, why are you looking for a fight?"
"That's right... a martial arts hero can't cry out in pain." Then he actually stopped crying.
Bai Qingzhou was speechless.
Ruan Xiuqi lay on the ground for a while, casually wiped his nosebleed with his clothes, stood up slowly, and said carelessly: "I can't beat you."
Seeing Ruan Xiuqi's face covered in blood, Bai Qingzhou felt a little ashamed. He was inexperienced in fighting for the first time, so he didn't stop his hand and said hurriedly: "I'm sorry, I got excited and beat you like this."
Ruan Xiuqi waved his hands indifferently, and then hummed: "You're not much better either."
Bai Qingzhou was startled when he heard this, and gently touched his eye sockets with his hand. Unbearable pain immediately appeared on his face. He must have had a black nose and swollen eyes.
The injuries of both of them were about the same.
"Hey, I just got promoted to the first level of Qi Refining a month ago, and I wanted to find someone to fight, but no one was willing to fight with me. It was suffocating me to death. Today you came and always broke up the fight.
Ruan Xiuqi said, rubbing his shoulders.
Bai Qingzhou felt quite comfortable and said with a smile: "Then we can't be acquainted without fighting."
Ruan Xiuqi pointed in a direction and said: "Actually, I live near you. We can learn more from each other in the future!"
"good!"
My ears suddenly twitched, and there were subtle footsteps in the distance.
"Someone is coming." Bai Qingzhou and Ruan Xiuqi sensed it at the same time.
Within a short while, three people appeared at the door, one man and two women. The man was quite old, about forty years old, and there were two women of sixteen or seventeen years old dressed as maids.
The three of them took a lot of things in large and small bags and stood at the door cautiously. The middle-aged man at the head stepped forward and said nervously: "Bai... Master Bai, we are the servants called by Master Ji to serve you."
Ruan Xiuqi saw this situation and said: "Then I will go back first, and we will discuss it when we have time!"
After a few jumps, he left the yard. The three people outside the door looked at Ruan Xiuqi's strong and healthy posture, all showing admiration.
After Ruan Xiuqi left, Bai Qingzhou quickly greeted the three people into the house, communicated with them in detail, and learned some basic information after asking.
These three people were all servants Ji Heng went to help select.
A middle-aged man named Li Er used to be the manager of an inn in the secular world. When Xuanyangmen passed by the city, he saw that he was very organized, so he took him to the mountain and became a servant.
This time, he was selected by Ji Heng to serve as the housekeeper in Bai Qingzhou's courtyard. He was mainly responsible for conveying various announcements from the sect at home and managing various chores.
There are two more
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
They are the maids who are responsible for daily chores such as laundry, cooking and other chores. The two maids are named Ji Si and Ji Nian. They are just sixteen years old this year. They are members of the Ji family in the secular world. They are both petite and exquisite, and they are quite cute.
He is clever and handy, and was sent to Xuanyangmen by his family to work as a handyman in search of immortality.
After receiving Bai Qingzhou's permission, the three of them began to carry the large and small bags they brought in the courtyard and salute, with excitement on their expressions.
Although they are just handymen here, doing some simple jobs, as the saying goes, the seventh-rank officials in front of the prime minister will improve their status when they return to the secular world. They are superior servants of immortals, and they are also the objects that everyone needs to cling to.
.
Bai Qingzhou sat in the middle of the yard and quietly watched them busy. He still felt confused in his heart. Yesterday, he was a poor man in a village with a low life, but today he was a descendant of the Xian family with servants. His status had changed so much that he couldn't help but sigh.
.
It took half a stick of incense for the three servants to come in and out before they finished moving and putting away everything.
After putting away the things, the butler Li Er respectfully handed over a bundle and said:
"Master Bai, this is the immortal robe and waist badge that Master Ji received for you."
Bai Qingzhou took it and opened it. There were two sets of familiar gray robes and a wooden square belt.
Holding the gray robe, I sighed in my heart, Jin Huo died just because he was greedy for this set of clothes, and the worthless items that leaked out of the world of cultivation would also be snatched away by common people.
Seeing Bai Qingzhou thinking with his robe, the housekeeper Li Er carefully asked, "Master Immortal, do you need to take a bath before eating?"
Bai Qingzhou looked at the tattered clothes on his body, and he really didn't look like an immortal. He was a little embarrassed, and then nodded and said: "Okay."
————
"Hmm~"
His whole body was soaked in the water, his back was against the tub, and his head was pillowed on a towel. The mist of water slowly rose, and the temperature was just right. Bai Qingzhou, who was taking a bath for the first time, couldn't help but moan.
Bai Qingzhou closed his eyes and leaned on the edge of the bathtub. The warm water continued to caress his skin. There were thousands of thoughts in his mind.
In my mind, I thought of the dead leader Jin Huo, of my parents whose memories were somewhat blurry, of the headmaster and Elder Nie sitting above, of Qin Feng walking confidently into the forest...
For a moment, Bai Qingzhou's eyes were blurred and he felt groggy.
I don't know how long it took.
"Master Immortal, let me come in and add some hot water to you..." A knock on the door and voices suddenly rang out, waking up the drowsy Bai Qingzhou.
"Ah... No, no, no, I've washed it." Bai Qingzhou said hurriedly.
At this moment, Bai Qingzhou was completely naked. How could he dare to let a woman of his own age come in?
He hurriedly got up to dry himself and put on the gray sect robe. The clothes fit him just right. The robe was as silky as forging and felt as light as nothing when worn on his body. Bai Qingzhou was amazed by the extremely comfortable material.
After careful observation, I also found two patterns on the cuffs of my hands, and I could feel the flow of spiritual energy in them, but I don't know what they do.
"Master Immortal, the meal is ready." The voice of maid Ji Si came from outside the door.
"Send it in." Bai Qingzhou was getting used to the feeling of being served.
There was a lot of food, four dishes, one soup, and a bowl of rice with clear grains and full luster. After it was brought in, the aroma gradually began to spread. This was a aroma that Bai Qingzhou had never smelled before.
In an instant, Bai Qingzhou's hunger was aroused. Looking at the dishes, his appetite increased. He picked up the chopsticks and took a bite of the dishes.
“It smells so good!”
Simple ingredients, but a different taste.
After a few mouthfuls, the whole stomach became warm. Bai Qingzhou wolfed down the food and finished all the food in a short time.
Bai Qingzhou leaned on the chair and touched his stomach, feeling extremely satisfied.
