Xiao Mian was driven away, or to be more precise, his meridians were injured and he was helped away by a fellow disciple who was passing by.
Leng Mushi only knew that he was driven away, but he didn't know that Hua Yanyue was always simple and rough. Since his good disciple said he didn't want his thing, it was natural that this time he wanted to make him dare not knock on the barrier of Cangshengyuan in the future.
Leng Mushi's mind was in a mess for only an hour or two, but she soon returned to normal. After cleansing her spiritual roots, she could clearly feel that her body had become a lot lighter, and the spiritual power that could flow from her fingertips had increased.
But this was still a long way from starting to refine the elixir, so she still focused on memorizing and identifying herbal prescriptions, supplemented by extracting animal blood and understanding and identifying various monsters and beasts. Every day, she and Hua Yanyue buried themselves in the alchemy furnace in the cellar. After she stopped meeting Xiao Mian, she simply ate the elixirs as meals and never left the Cangsheng Courtyard.
"You haven't been out for more than a month. Don't just play with snakes and ride eagles all day. The preliminary examination for immortal disciples is about to begin. You should at least go and see how the spiritual sense is used in the battle of the formation."
"You don't need to get a good ranking in the Immortal Gate's initial test, as long as you're not at the bottom," Hua Yanyue said, "If you're at the bottom, I'll throw you into the alchemy furnace."
Leng Mushi hurriedly said after hearing this: "Then Master, you should at least fulfill your duties as a master. If you can teach me even one move, I won't be the last one."
Hua Yanyue sneered, "Isn't it enough that I have taught you? The rest depends on your own understanding."
Leng Mushi was speechless. She stared at Hua Yanyue for a moment and said, "So the way Cangsheng Academy teaches disciples is to force them to understand?"
Hua Yanyue is a little taller than Leng Mushi, but not much taller. However, she has a strong aura, so she looks down on Leng Mushi in a condescending manner every day.
Hua Yanyue crossed her arms. If it weren't for the righteousness of an alchemy elder between her brows, she would have looked like a sarcastic slave owner.
"The path of alchemy is more difficult than ascending to heaven. You don't even have this much comprehension. Not only can you not catch up with your Senior Brother Xuanzhu by a finger, but I even gave you the Rejuvenating Pill, and you still want me to teach you in person?"
Leng Mushi laughed, "Okay, I get it. When I get to the competition, I will recite the elixirs and prescriptions until the opponent kneels down and begs for mercy, bleeding from all seven orifices, and cries and begs me to stop talking."
Leng Mushi has followed Hua Yanyue for such a long time, but she still hasn't learned how to make pills. However, she has mastered the mocking and disdainful expression to perfection. She raises one corner of her mouth, narrows her eyes like a fox, and smiles like a demon.
"Senior Brother Xuanzhu, Senior Brother Xuanzhu," Leng Mushi muttered, "Senior Brother Xuanzhu has been gone for so long, and Master always mentions him every day. Maybe one day he will hear that you are so reluctant to let him go, and he will lift the lid of his coffin and come to find you."
Hua Yanyue looked at Leng Mushi with a very strange look when she heard it. Leng Mushi was frightened by her look and asked her what she was doing. She smiled and said, "Who told you that your Senior Brother Xuanzhu is dead?"
Leng Mushi: "You said in person that he was gone, and weren't you the one who turned into him and cheated people everywhere?"
Hua Yanyue laughed out loud, her laughter was like a sign of a seizure, and finally she stopped laughing, patted Leng Mushi on the head and said, "Your Senior Brother Xuanzhu is not dead, you have seen him more than once."
Leng Mushi: ... Sorry, what are you talking about
Hua Yanyue's appearance slowly changed, quickly changing from Hua Yanyue's cold and arrogant face to Xuanzhu's appearance.
Leng Mushi: "Master really knows how to tease me."
"Junior sister, I am your senior brother. I usually talk to me so warmly, how come you don't recognize me yet?" After the transformation, Xuanzhu was taller than Hua Yanyue and about the same height as Xiao Mian. His handsome face was full of evil. He approached Leng Mushi and put his hand on her head.
"Do you think I'm dead? Junior sister, I'm so sad. I saved you many times when you were almost poisoned to death by Master, but you actually cursed me to death." Xuan Zhu reached out and flicked Leng Mushi's forehead, "You have no conscience."
Leng Mushi looked at Xuan Zhu in front of her expressionlessly, then reached out and slapped his hand away.
"Master, this is not fun at all. I'm going down the mountain to look at the formation now. If you don't teach me the moves before the trial, I'll go into the formation and recite the prescription." Leng Mushi said, turning around and leaving.
Behind him, Xuan Zhu slowly changed back to Hua Yan Yue's appearance, but the evil look on his face did not disappear immediately. He whispered in a voice that sounded like a man or a woman, "Master, look, my junior sister doesn't even recognize me... You are such a heartless little thing. I saved her so many times, otherwise she would have been poisoned to death by you."
After waiting for a while, Hua Yanyue closed her eyes. The evil look on her face faded away, and her serious expression returned. She spoke in a female voice: "This is your own choice. If you regret it..."
She couldn't say the rest of the words. Something invisible was strangling her throat, and she couldn't say a word.
Hua Yanyue sighed for a long time, no longer thinking about what had happened, but continued to refine the elixir.
Her time... no, it should be said that they don't have much time left. She needs to stock up on a lot of elixirs so that she can fearlessly try to restore everything.
I just don't know if everything can be restored by then...
Hua Yanyue no longer thought about the future, but remembered Leng Mushi's words to teach her some moves. Hua Yanyue shook her head. She was indeed teaching her every day, and Leng Mushi was also learning very well. Even if her innate aptitude was not good, it was enough for her to cope with the test for new disciples.
She smiled and liked this little disciple who looked like her more and more. She even decided to teach her how to make elixirs after she came back from her initial examination.
She would never find another disciple who was so compatible with her, Hua Yanyue thought.
Leng Mushi came out of Cangsheng Courtyard again after a month, and felt as if she was in another world. Her head was filled with pill recipes and methods of raising exotic beasts these days. She took pills so much that her tongue became bitter, and she didn't even know what a normal meal tasted like.
And... the plot, Leng Mushi thought, and the rules... Hey, where are the rules
Leng Mushi touched her body and found that the law was lying quietly in the storage bag. She didn't know whether to feel relieved or worried.
She thought the rules were gone. After all, there had been no communication in these days, and there was no plot for her to participate.
The law is like an ordinary stone that can be thrown anywhere and has no sense of existence.
In fact, when Leng Mushi didn't believe in the plot at first, she tried to discard it again and again, and even smashed it, but when she woke up the next day, the law still appeared by her side and helped her confirm that what happened was the same as described in the storybook.
Leng Mushi walked down the mountain, took it out and knocked it on the stone steps a few times: "Hey, is it dead?"
Law: ... not yet.
Leng Mushi threw it back into the storage bag in disappointment, thinking that if it was gone and dead, she would have completely broken free from the constraints of the plot.
Leng Mushi continued to walk down the mountain, occasionally blocking the sunlight with her elbows. After all, she had been in the cellar for too long and was a little uncomfortable with the light.
Because she had taken two Rejuvenating Pills, her entire body was now like a peeled egg, so tender that the skin would break if touched, but in fact she was very tough. The Rejuvenating Pills had even tempered her flesh, so that even the rough scales of a red snake could not easily scratch her.
There were also very subtle changes in his eyebrows and eyes, he had grown a little bigger, and his two places, which were already quite big, were almost as big as the flowers covering the moon. The master and the apprentice often inadvertently competed with each other, and it was hard to tell who was better.
There is no scar on Leng Mushi's face from the burns caused by the pink lotus blood that day, and her face is now as white and tender as porcelain.
The pink lotus-shaped scar was originally the residence of the pink lotus on her body. Now that it is gone, the pink lotus cannot enter Leng Mushi's body. If it wants to follow her, it can only follow the law and stay in the dark storage bag.
As a result, she didn't like to follow Leng Mushi anymore. At the beginning, she even called Leng Mushi a bastard. He promised to take her to find an immortal king for her, but until now, she hadn't seen any trace of an immortal king. He was acting crazy all day long, making pills with Hua Yanyue, and he had become stupid.
Leng Mushi ignored her. Fen Lian couldn't do anything to her anyway.
However, Fen Lian said that she had found a lover recently, and she no longer needed Leng Mushi. It was said that the other party was a low-level cultivator who guarded the forbidden area of Taichu Mountain. Fen Lian tried her best to tell her how cute the boy was, and that he could be used as a lover and also as a son.
Leng Mushi was really a little curious about who this Taichu Mountain disciple was who didn't report the big monster he encountered and was getting along so well with her. She planned to go and take a look today. Judging from Fen Lian's vision, she didn't want him to be another bastard.
With this calculation, today's time is quite tight. Leng Mushi arrived at the door of Linggu Hall and started eating as soon as she entered. She kept eating one bowl after another, recalling in her mind the order in which Hua Yanyue put the herbs into the alchemy furnace and injected spiritual power into them this morning.
She found a corner specifically, ready to leave after eating, with her back to the wall, and a rice bowl placed on the table beside her.
This was not a proper lunch time, neither morning nor noon. Leng Mushi chose this time specifically because she didn't want to meet any acquaintances.
What you fear will come true, this is an eternal theorem.
She didn't want to meet Xiao Mian and Leng Tianyin, or any acquaintances. As a result, while serving the dishes, she bumped face to face with a group of people coming in from the door.
Okay.
They were all acquaintances, not a single one was left out, and they chatted as they walked about the rehearsal for today's formation battle. They must have practiced diligently in groups, causing them to miss their meal time, and now they came together again.
Leng Mushi hadn't thought of what expression to use to respond. She just took a glance and was fixed by a pair of burning gazes.
She tilted her head slightly, and even wanted to pretend that she didn't see them and go back to eat quickly and leave.
But suddenly I heard a familiar and excited "Sister!"
Leng Mushi stood there holding the vegetable bowl, slowly putting on a reluctant and impatient smile.
"Nianci, long time no see, haha." Yi Tu walked over quickly and circled around Leng Mushi, "I almost didn't recognize you!"
Leng Mushi rubbed her head with the tip of her chopsticks awkwardly. It was not surprising for Yi Tu Xingzhou and even Xiao Mian, who were not new disciples, to mingle with the new disciples. After all, how could they not accompany their lovely little sister when she was using the formation
Leng Mushi had no ill feelings towards Yi Tu and Xing Zhou. She even felt a little special towards them. After all, she went against the plot and endured the pain of burning souls to save these two people.
There was no way to avoid it, so Leng Mushi smiled and greeted him: "Long time no see, senior brother."
She did not pull Leng Tianyin's hand away, allowing her to hold her arm like a butterfly and circle around her, calling her "Sister, sister."
Naturally, this group of people sat together in one area. Leng Mushi's bowl and rice bowl were moved over, and she sat at the same table with Leng Tianyin and the others.
On one side of Leng Mushi was Leng Tianyin, and on the other side, Yi Tu was about to sit down, but the seat was taken by someone else.
"Junior Sister Nianci is well-known among the disciples for her good appetite. We were worried that you would suffer a lot in the Second Elder's courtyard, but seeing how you are now, it seems that the Second Elder is not as harsh on his disciples as rumored." Xingzhou has always been a quiet man, but after not seeing him for so long, he couldn't help but tease Leng Mushi.
Leng Mushi laughed dryly twice. Amidst the laughter, her hand holding the chopsticks trembled slightly.
Because under the table, Xiao Mian, who was sitting on her left with a stern face, grabbed her hand that was hanging by her side with great force, and it was hot and covered with a thin layer of sweat.
Leng Mushi tried several times but couldn't break free.
Oh my god.
The author has something to say: Leng Mushi: He is so strong, I am so scared.
