Winter comes and summer comes, time passes quickly like running water, time continues to pass, and seven months have passed in the blink of an eye.
Under the blazing sun, a huge city was entrenched in the plain. The ancient and powerful city wall, which was hundreds of feet long, tightly wrapped the entire city. The streets in the city were neatly distributed, dividing the city into regions.
In a very solemn courtyard in the center of the city, the sounds of people moving around continued to be heard. Looking inside, I saw a middle-aged man sitting on a Taishi chair, holding a teacup lid in one hand and a teacup in the other.
Gently blow on the hot steam coming out of the teacup.
The man has a rosy face and is about forty years old. He is the housekeeper of Bai Qingzhou Courtyard, Li Er.
Standing below him was a rather fat middle-aged man. The middle-aged man was wearing brocade clothes and an embroidered coat, and his face was full of wealth.
He walked forward slowly, handed a stack of official documents to the table, and said respectfully: "Li Xian, please watch, this is today's matter..."
Li Er took a sip of tea, slowly put down the teacup, and gently replied, "Yes. I understand, let's go down."
The middle-aged man in luxurious clothes thought for a moment, raised his hands and said, "Li Xian, there is one more thing. There is a family leader outside the door who wants to see you."
Li Er lowered his head and asked softly: "Oh? Which family head?"
"The head of the Meng family, Meng Bu."
"It's this guy again..." Hearing this, Li Er raised his eyebrows slightly, "Forget it, let him come in."
"Yes!" The luxurious middle-aged man accepted the order and retreated.
Not long after, the so-called head of the Meng family came to Li Er.
The person was thin, with messy hair and cloudy eyes, which made Li Er quite unhappy at first sight.
"Master Immortal, my dear Meng Bu has met Li Xian!" When the visitor saw Li Er, he immediately knelt down and saluted.
Li Er glanced down and said calmly: "What do you want?"
Meng Bu looked a little reserved, and did not even stand. He knelt down and said, "I want to see Master Bai Xian..."
Li Er sneered and said in a deep voice: "So you don't understand the rules? You can see the Immortal Master whenever you want?"
"Li Xian... Could it be that I don't understand the rules? It's just that my daughter is seriously ill. Now I can only hope that Master Bai Xian will save her life." Meng Bu's voice trembled.
"How dare you bother the Immortal Master with such a trivial matter?" Li Er said casually after learning that it was just this matter.
Meng Bu quickly kowtowed and asked in a trembling voice: "I just ask Li Xian to please inform me..."
"Hmph!" Li Er slammed the tea cup on the table, stood up and shouted: "The immortal master has so many affairs. If your family is sick and his family is in trouble, is it possible that he has to treat illnesses for each of your families?
?!"
Hearing this, the head of the Meng family panicked, lying down even lower than the ground, and said with a trembling voice: "Please know, Master Immortal, that my little girl's disease is indeed too rare, and she will die if we don't get treatment... I really
There is no other way..."
Li Er stood on a high place and looked at the kneeling head of the Meng family. He couldn't help but feel a sense of joy in his heart, and the corners of his mouth raised slightly. When he was the innkeeper, these so-called family heads never looked at him. Now they are all kneeling at their feet.
.
After a moment of recovery, Li Er hid the smile on his lips and asked, "Why didn't you ask the previous immortal master about this disease?"
"The former Immortal Master...I have asked to see you many times but I have not been able to see you." The head of the Meng family replied in a trembling voice.
Li Er slowly sat back on the chair, "I see. Indeed, this matter is not big or small, but..."
He slowly stopped mid-sentence.
The head of the Meng family raised his head and glanced at it. He understood immediately and hurriedly said: "This matter is disturbing the immortal master. I will not give up even if I die. It's just that my family still has five hundred taels of spare wealth, so I should be filial to the immortal master..."
Li Er nodded with a smile in his eyes and said softly: "In that case, you can go back. I will ask the immortal master for instructions. I will send someone to inform you of the results."
The head of the Meng family kowtowed three times on the ground and thanked him excitedly: "Thank you, Li Xian!"
Li Er waved his hand, and the head of the Meng family bowed and left.
Looking at the back of Master Meng leaving,

Li Er slowly took a sip of tea again, with pride in his eyes.
----------------------------------------
It is autumn, and the autumn breeze is blowing.
A handsome young man was standing on the city wall. He was wearing a gray robe, holding his hands behind his back. The breeze was constantly blowing his forehead and hair, and he had a fairy-like temperament.
It was Bai Qingzhou.
It's just that he was looking at the huge city below with a slightly impatient expression.
"Da da…"
Suddenly there was the sound of footsteps coming from behind. A middle-aged man climbed onto the corridor of the city wall, quickly approached, bowed his hands to Bai Qingzhou and said respectfully:
"Master Immortal, the murderer who murdered a fellow disciple a few days ago was captured at the farewell pavilion outside the city. How should we deal with him?"
Bai Qingzhou didn't need to look back to know that this person was Li Er.
"After the trial, if there is no mistake, he will be executed directly." Bai Qingzhou looked into the distance and said calmly.
"Yes!" Li Er nodded in agreement, and then continued to ask: "There are also many refugees who have fled from Xingdong Prefecture. How should we arrange them?"
Bai Qingzhou thought for a while and replied: "Well... you go and inform the Ji family, Li family, and Chen family in the city, and let them be responsible for refugee resettlement."
"Today a mutilated female body was found ten miles outside the city..."
"First send the arresting officer to investigate whether it was a man-made murder or a disturbance caused by ghosts. After the investigation is clear, we will report back."
…
Question after question, Bai Qingzhou continued to issue orders to quickly resolve many matters in the city reported by Li Er.
This situation has been going on for two months.
This city is called Ningshui Prefecture, one of the three prefecture cities under the Xuanyang Sect. Bai Qingzhou received an order from Gongshan Pavilion two months ago, specifying that he would come to Ningshui Prefecture City to station and become a new city.
The first-term immortal master of the state city protects the peace of the state and directs the affairs of the state city.
After two months here, Bai Qingzhou has learned a lot about the situation in Ningshui Prefecture. Ningshui Prefecture City is a city with more than 100,000 mortals. The city's commerce is relatively developed, and it has business dealings with several other nearby prefectures and cities.
, is one of the largest cities in the surrounding area.
To become an Immortal Master in Zhoucheng, you have to deal with daily affairs. There are hundreds of thousands of people, and they encounter many things every day. When Bai Qingzhou first came here, he had to deal with all these things every day, which was very boring.
In order to reduce the workload, Bai Qingzhou directly arranged Li Er's checkpoint, and the matters handled were screened by him before being reported, which allowed him to save time for practice.
Reporting continuously took a full hour.
"There is one last thing...The head of the Meng family wants to see him. Do you want to meet him?" Li Er asked cautiously.
Bai Qingzhou thought for a while, but had no impression in his mind. He moved his lips and said, "Meng family? What can he say?"
"According to what he said, a woman in his family was seriously ill and wanted to ask the immortal master to take a look at her."
Hearing this, Bai Qingzhou had a headache. It was not because he was upset about such mundane things, but mainly because most of the serious illnesses in the mortal world could not be cured by himself. The mortal body could only use earthly medicines, not immortality medicines. Mortals are
Unable to withstand the impact of the elixir.
And spiritual energy is too powerful for a mortal's physique. Even if the spiritual energy is used to help rescue, it still requires a high level of spiritual energy control ability. If it is not controlled properly, the spiritual energy can easily leak into the body, causing the mortal to explode and die.
Therefore, when encountering mortal causes, Bai Qingzhou cannot guarantee that he can solve them.
"Don't worry about this matter. Let's inform him to come tomorrow morning."
"Yes!" After Li Er received the reply, he backed away and got off the city wall.
Bai Qingzhou looked at the bustling Ningshui Prefecture with people coming and going below, and he couldn't help but feel a little irritable.
"When I came here, there were too many chores, and my cultivation speed was slowed down too much..."
Using the two [Qi Refining Pills] sent by Qingshan, he broke through the second level of Qi Refining three months ago and reached the level of Qi Refining.
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
The third level of Qi.
However, due to the numerous affairs, after arriving in Ningshui Prefecture, the daily meditation practice was reduced from three times to once, and the progress of practice was greatly reduced. Three months of hard training was not as good as one month on the mountain, which made Bai Qingzhou very irritable.
Looking at the energetic people below, Bai Qingzhou took a breath, suppressed the impatience in his heart, took out the [Shangqing Sword] from his waist, activated the [Flying Cloud Spirit Paper], and flew out of the city.
During the flight, Bai Qingzhou's mind was racing.
"There are a lot of affairs in the city. Perhaps if you leave these mundane matters to mortals, you should focus on the big road. Ask Ji Si and Ji Nian to help with some affairs, so that you can find time to meditate twice..."
"There is also little Chen Lin, who is alone on the mountain. I wonder how Ruan Xiuqi is helping to take care of him..."
With constant thoughts in his mind, Bai Qingzhou arrived at a forest outside the city within a moment.
The lush virgin forest has waves like the sea and many trees. However, where Bai Qingzhou came, a large area of trees fell down, forming a large open space. There were many neat scratches on the surrounding trees, which looked quite messy.
This is where Bai Qingzhou comes to practice his sword every day.
No matter how busy he is, Bai Qingzhou will always find time to practice "Bamboo Leaf Sword Manual". After more than half a year of practice, Bai Qingzhou's fighting ability has greatly improved.
"Bamboo Leaf Sword Manual" is worthy of being a sword manual practiced by immortals. It is very different from the vulgar swordsmanship in the world. There are no fancy skills, only deadly swordsmanship with one move, plus the [Shangqing] holding a yellow-level low-grade sword.
Sword], now Bai Qingzhou is dancing with amazing power.
Bai Qingzhou expected that with his current strength, if he took a [Water Air Shield] on himself, he could jump down from the crowd of mortals and massacre hundreds of mortals in the blink of an eye without any injuries.
There is a huge difference between immortals and mortals.
Picking up the [Shangqing Sword], Bai Qingzhou danced according to the postures and aura usage described in the sword manual, officially starting today's practice.
"Bamboo Leaf Sword Manual" is divided into twelve sword skills. Each move and every move seems to have the trajectory of the bamboo leaves floating down, which is difficult to understand. After more than half a year of practice, Bai Qingzhou can now dance to the third level in one breath.
Seven Sword Skills.
With a physique speed that is different from ordinary people, coupled with the aura emitted, the dance begins with the light of the sword and the shadow of the sword. The blade of the sword with the aura added touches the hard trees, and the trees are immediately cut open as easily as tofu.
Soon, as the spiritual energy continued to be used, white air began to rise from the top of Bai Qingzhou's head, sweat broke out on his forehead, and the clothes on the arm holding the sword began to slowly become soaked with sweat.
"Hoo! Hoo!"
He tried hard to adjust his breathing and kept dancing his arms.
Half an hour later, as time accumulated, Bai Qingzhou no longer had the elegant figure at the beginning, and his movements became much slower.
"Cloud Sword!" The seventh skill of the sword manual was to stab forward suddenly, spiritual energy pouring forward, and a large circular hole was immediately opened in the middle of the tree.
As soon as this move came out, he couldn't help but lose his breath, his arms and legs trembled slightly, and his sore muscles continued to tremble and twist.
In the past, after using the seventh skill, Bai Qingzhou would be unable to persist due to lack of physical strength and dissipation of spiritual energy.
But Bai Qingzhou found that he still had some strength left!
Bai Qingzhou gritted his teeth, retracted the forward thrust of his arm, and injected the little spiritual energy left in his body into the [Shangqing Sword] again. He stepped on his foot and made a strong stroke of the sword from left to right.
"Heng Jian!" The eighth skill of the sword manual was used.
The big tree in front seemed to be cut off in the middle like a piece of paper and fell backwards.
"Successful!" Bai Qingzhou was overjoyed. His swordsmanship, which had been stuck for a long time, finally improved today.
But after the eighth skill was used, all the spiritual energy in his body disappeared immediately. Bai Qingzhou lost his center of gravity and fell directly to the ground.
"Hoo ho!"
Bai Qingzhou stretched out his hands and lay on the ground in a big character shape, breathing heavily, his face full of joy, and his eyes looking at the sky with sparkle.
"But if we meet Meng Yangyu again, he won't be so vulnerable anymore!" Bai Qingzhou couldn't help but think in his heart.
