Youth must come early, how can it be youthful? Chapter 79: Bustling Mountain Gate
"These are the [Qi-nourishing Pill] and the [Blood-Recovering Pill]. You should stay in the yard during this period and recuperate." Nie Fang handed Bai Qingzhou two small wooden boxes.
Bai Qingzhou took it respectfully and saluted solemnly: "Thank you, Elder Nie."
Nie Fang nodded lightly, and then controlled the flying magic weapon to fly towards Qingxin Palace.
When Nie Fang disappeared from sight, Bai Qingzhou turned around and walked into the small courtyard where he had been away for a year.
Two people were already standing in the center of the courtyard. They were Ji Nian and Li Er whom they had not seen for a long time.
"Welcome the Immortal Master home!" Li Er stepped forward and saluted respectfully.
When Bai Qingzhou saw the two of them, he was sincerely happy and smiled at them: "Haha, I haven't seen you for a while."
Ji Nian's eyes were full of smiles and he said with a smile: "Master Immortal, you are finally back."
Bai Qingzhou smiled and nodded, feeling a sense of warmth in his heart.
Li Er continued to ask: "Is the immortal master coming back at this time because the matter is over?"
"Hey..." Bai Qingzhou sighed slowly, waved his hands and said, "Let's go in first and then talk."
Then the three of them walked towards the yard.
Returning to the familiar courtyard, Bai Qingzhou was relieved of his depression and sat directly on a chair in the courtyard.
Li Er and Ji Nian stood respectfully aside.
Then Bai Qingzhou asked Li Er what happened inside the door.
Li Er reported one by one, while Ji Nian added explanations on the side.
After chatting for half an hour, Bai Qingzhou got a rough idea of the general situation in the sect during the year he was away.
Each of his fellow disciples had some improvements in their cultivation, but the rest remained unchanged. The news that caused the most discussion was Bai Qingzhou himself.
Because he opened an animal butcher shop in Luogufang, after the news spread back to the family, it caused a lot of discussion.
Some expressed support, while others expressed strong opposition.
But as the news spread that the animal butcher shop could earn nearly a hundred spiritual stones a month, everyone's talk gradually turned into praise, and everyone affirmed Bai Qingzhou's pioneering behavior.
This made Bai Qingzhou very proud.
After the two people finished reporting, Bai Qingzhou also told them the reason for his injury this time, which made the two people feel frightened.
"Then you prepare things as usual. I was injured outside and need to rest now. If there is nothing important, don't disturb me." Bai Qingzhou ordered calmly.
"Yes!" they both responded immediately.
After giving a few casual instructions, Bai Qingzhou returned to the room.
Entering the room, he sat down cross-legged on the futon in the room, took out the two pills given by Nie Fang and placed them in front of him.
"Huh... this injury may take more than half a month to heal." Bai Qingzhou roughly estimated the time.
Without thinking too much, I picked up the [Qi Nourishing Pill], swallowed it directly, and started exercising to heal the injury.
.....
A few days passed like this.
During this period, the news of Bai Qingzhou's return was also known to his colleagues, and they began to take turns coming to visit Bai Qingzhou's yard.
And today, Chen Lin was welcomed into the courtyard.
"Chen Lin, congratulations."
Bai Qingzhou and Chen Lin sat opposite each other in the courtyard.
"I cannot achieve what I have today without the help of my senior brother!" Chen Lin replied respectfully.
Chen Lin's attitude was still respectful, but he changed from the previous title of Immortal Master to the current title of Senior Brother.
"Haha, I didn't help you at all. Everything is based on your own efforts. If you can succeed in becoming an immortal, it means that you also have the potential to be both mysterious and mysterious!" Bai Qingzhou laughed softly.
"What potential do I have..." Chen Lin lowered his head and murmured to himself. After thinking for a moment, he raised his head and said slowly: "Senior Brother Bai, do you remember giving me a piece of green jade?"
"Uh?" Bai Qingzhou asked in surprise: "Remember, what's going on?"
He naturally remembered this matter clearly. A year ago, before he went to Luogufang, he met Chen Lin on the way down the mountain and casually gave him a small piece of jade he found in the market.
"This piece of jade does contain spiritual energy. Once when I held the jade and ran the exercises, it seemed to speed up my comprehension. It was only because of the jade that I was able to break through to the first level of qi refining..." Chen Lin whispered.
said.
"Oh? There is such a thing?" Bai Qingzhou was surprised for a while. He just felt a little happy when he saw the jade that day. He always thought it was just a common thing, but he didn't expect it to have this function. "Show it to me."
Chen Lin took out the jade stone from his arms and handed it to Bai Qingzhou.
Bai Qingzhou took it and took a look. The jade was unchanged from the time. It was green in color and was about the size of two thumbs. It looked nothing special.
Bai Qingzhou couldn't help but wonder, could this be a treasure?
Then he manipulated the spiritual energy into the jade and performed induction.
In his induction, there is a faint trace of spiritual energy in the jade, but this is not surprising, because many stones that have been in places with strong spiritual energy for a long time will be more or less stained with spiritual energy. This piece looks like a common piece.
jade.
After the observation was fruitless, Bai Qingzhou returned the jade to Chen Lin and said with a smile: "I can't see the details of this thing, but it can speed up your cultivation, so you can just keep it alive and practice hard."
"Yes!" Chen Lin took it, his eyes flashed with joy, and he nodded quickly and replied.
He thought Bai Qingzhou would take it back and study it carefully, but he didn't expect that.
After putting the jade away, Chen Lin asked for advice: "Senior Brother Bai, I have some questions about cultivation that I want to ask you..."
"Well, let's talk about it!" Bai Qingzhou said with a smile.
Then Chen Lin began to ask about the difficulties he encountered in daily practice, and the two began to talk and communicate...
While the two were talking, a child's shout suddenly came from outside the door.
"Hey! Don't run!"
The voice was young and crisp, with a bit of urgency.
"Huh?" Bai Qingzhou immediately cast a questioning look at Chen Lin.
Why are there still children's voices at the door...
After all, among the mountain gates, the youngest one may be Shi Zhichen, but he is still over ten years old, and this voice is not his.
Are there other children?
Sensing Bai Qingzhou's strange gaze, Chen Lin replied: "This should be He Zuo's voice. He has been very noisy, maybe he is messing around with those handymen."
"So that's it..." Bai Qingzhou suddenly realized.
During the conversation in the past few days, Bai Qingzhou learned that the friend of the leader was named Qin Xiu. He came here because he mistakenly entered a secret realm during his travels. This time, he wanted to invite Li Yuyun to go with him.
The secret realm seeks opportunities to enter the later stage of foundation building.
And when he came over, he brought two children with him.
It is said that they were the two junior disciples he accepted as his disciples. The two clever and eccentric imps came to the mountain gate and ran around causing chaos, making everyone in the Xuanyang Clan get to know them in a short time.
He Zuo is one of the two children. He has a very lively personality. He makes trouble in the mountain gate every day and yells every day.
"Hahaha! Don't run! I'm coming!" As the child's voice got closer and closer, Bai Qingzhou soon saw a seven or eight-year-old child wearing a white robe running past the door.
And what he was chasing was actually a big yellow dog.
This made Bai Qingzhou smile bitterly. This child was too funny.
But he didn't care and turned around to continue talking about cultivation matters with Chen Lin.
Time passed slowly, and half an hour passed like this.
"Huh?" A small human head suddenly appeared at the door, with doubtful eyes and a sweet voice asking: "Is the immortal master of this courtyard back?"
The person who came was none other than He Zuo.
Bai Qingzhou looked at him with a smile and didn't reply.
The boy was not timid at all. He walked in carelessly and started looking around. He walked all the way to Bai Qingzhou and Chen Lin.
He saluted with dignity and said: "Hello, fellow Taoist, my name is He Zuo."
Seeing He Zuo's appearance, Bai Qingzhou couldn't help but laugh. This child is so cute and interesting.
He smiled and returned the greeting, "Hello, my name is Bai Qingzhou."
He Zuo's eyes lit up. This was the first time someone had formally saluted him after being in the door for so long. This made him hold his head high and look happy.
"Hey! Now we know each other!"
He Zuo clapped his hands, then sat down on the chair very calmly and began to eat the fruit on the table.
Bai Qingzhou was delighted to see this. He had an inexplicable liking for the child and asked with a smile: "By the way, why are you chasing that dog?"
"Ha, you're talking about Dahuang. Dahuang lost a bet with me, so he had to take me for a walk. Who knew he was cheating and ran away!" He Zuo swayed his legs, holding a piece in his hand.
Watermelon said vaguely.
"Bet? What are you betting on?" Bai Qingzhou asked curiously.
"I bet with it, whoever goes to sleep first loses!" He Zuo said, shaking his head.
"Hahaha!" Bai Qingzhou laughed endlessly.
Even Chen Lin's mouth twitched and he seemed speechless.
After laughing for a while, Bai Qingzhou stopped and asked with a smile: "Then how did you win?"
"I just kept following it. I followed it for two days. After that, it became very sleepy. I was also very sleepy, but I held it back. Rhubarb couldn't hold it back and fell asleep directly, so I won!" He Zuoju
He raised his fist and said seriously.
Bai Qingzhou laughed loudly. He really thought this child was so interesting.
Just as Bai Qingzhou laughed, a crisp female voice came from outside the door.
"He Zuo!"
Hearing the girl's voice, He Zuo was shocked, and his expression instantly changed from carefree to livid, with a look of fear.
"Why is she here!"
He immediately put down the watermelon in his hand and ran out the door.
This made Bai Qingzhou confused.
But just as He Zuo was about to run out of the yard, a girl of about ten years old suddenly blocked He Zuo's running direction at the door.
"ah!"
Seeing the girl appear, He Zuo yelled, immediately ran back to the yard, and hid directly behind Bai Qingzhou.
Bai Qingzhou looked interesting and looked at the girl with a smile.
The girl was very delicate, with handsome features and a sense of heroism. She was staring at He Zuo with an angry look on her face.
"He Zuo! Where did you scare Dahuang?!"
A large part of He Zuo's body was hidden behind Bai Qingzhou, only a small head was exposed, and his voice trembled as he said: "I don't know..."
Apparently he was extremely frightened of young girls.
"You don't know?" The girl strode towards Chen Zuo, "Someone told me that you had been chasing him just now, and now you tell me that you don't know!"
The girl stood in front of Bai Qingzhou. She was not tall, but she was full of momentum, frightening He Zuo who was hiding behind.
"I was chasing him just now, and Dahuang ran into the mountains and disappeared in the blink of an eye... How could I know where he went?" He Zuo replied in a low voice.
Hearing this, the girl raised her eyebrows, rolled up her sleeves, and said viciously: "Isn't it just because you keep bullying it that it ran away! I will definitely teach you a lesson today!"
"Ah!" He Zuo yelled in fear and grabbed Bai Qingzhou's clothes tightly, "Bai Qingzhou, save me!"
Bai Qingzhou found it quite interesting, stretched out his hand to stop her, and smiled at the girl: "Don't do anything, just say what you have to say.
