He Xiang hadn't been hungry for several days since she ate the flat peach given by Shen Lian that night. Then she gradually felt that her body was much lighter than before and she had more energy. The originally skinny body gradually became full of flesh and blood, and her mother would have been surprised if she hadn't been unable to see.
During the day, she followed Shen Lian throughout Mica Mountain and learned to identify the herbs in the mountains. Occasionally, Shen Lian would take her to other places, but at this time, she didn't know yet. The place Shen Lian took her to was Li Mica. The mountains are at least tens of thousands of miles away, and some places are outside the caves of other immortal sects. However, because of Shen Lian's immortal skills, those practitioners could not detect it.
In the evening, Juexin taught her a set of formulas and asked her to recite them silently. Later she learned that the formulas were called Huangting Neijing Jing.
Until one day, He Xiang found that her body was as light as a fallen leaf. She felt something in her heart and flew up from a rock to the crown of a tree a hundred feet away. Her toes touched a twig without falling.
She was very happy and wanted to share the news with Shen Lian and Jue Xin. However, she went all over Mica Mountain and did not see Shen Lian or Jue Xin. It seemed that their appearance was just a dream, but her current magical powers were not It cannot be faked, and those medicinal principles are deeply remembered in my heart.
In fact, it had only been half a month since the day she was bullied by He Shuying, and now her magic power was actually superior to that of many monks who used the Jade Liquid Return Pill. That was due to the effect of the flat peach.
Of course, if He Xiang is just an ordinary person, even if she eats a flat peach, the spirit of the fairy will not be absorbed by her quickly. This is just because she was born as an extraordinary person with fairy roots, and Shen Lian's unprecedented ability Only through the training and teaching of the Immortal Family can one achieve what others have accumulated in decades within half a month.
To put it bluntly, He Xiang itself is like a very vast container, and Shen Lian helps her store water, eliminating the need for the trickles to gather and become a river.
Even so, she only has enough magic power, and she can't take the step of rejuvenating the jade liquid, because this step has little to do with magic power, but with Taoist heart.
If he were a cultivator from an orthodox immortal sect, he would try his best to hone his Taoist heart at this moment, trying to break through the barriers early and return his elixir to Taoism, but He Xiang had no specific concept of cultivation.
She was still like a blank piece of paper, but Shen Lian gave her ink and a pen, and the rest was up to her.
He Xiang returned home without finding Shen Lian and Juexin.
It was still early at this time, so she picked a few spiritual fruits along the way and planned to take them home to her mother. As soon as she entered the house, she saw her mother in the hall, chatting with an aunt from the same village.
The aunt hadn't seen He Xiang for many days and almost didn't recognize her. She couldn't help but said: "Your A Xiang is getting more and more beautiful."
Mother He sighed and said, "I am a dead old woman who has caused trouble for this child. If Aunt Wu is from a good family, please help me keep an eye on it."
Aunt Wu nodded. She also knew the situation of the He family. She could only do her best and treat it as a good thing.
After chatting for a while, Aunt Wu took her leave, and Mother He said, "Why are you back so early today?"
But He Xiang didn't answer immediately, so He's mother asked three times in a row, and He Xiang came back to her senses. It turned out that she had just been thinking that Shen Lian had taught her pharmacology, and there was a way to restore people's light. When she was strong enough, she should be able to So that mother can get better.
Because she was thinking about this matter, she didn't hear He's mother's question at first.
He Xiang said: "I found a few fruits today. They are very delicious. I will wash them and my mother can eat them later."
He's mother said: "Are you busy these days?"
He Xiang bit her lip, wondering whether she should tell him about Shen Lian and Juexin. After thinking about it, she told He's mother truthfully.
After hearing this, Mother He remained silent for a while, and then said, "If you become an immortal, no one will dare to marry you in the future."
He Xiang said: "As long as I don't get married, I will always serve my mother."
Mother He said: "If you are like this, how can I be worthy of your dead father? Xiang'er, if you keep your mother in your heart, don't cultivate immortality, and don't show your abilities in front of others. Isn't it good to live peacefully?" "
He Xiang felt a little aggrieved. She was not cultivating immortality for herself. If she learned immortality well, she could not only treat her mother's illness, but also help others. What's wrong with that? But she couldn't go against her mother's words, so she had no choice but to say nothing.
Seeing that she didn't reply, Mother He was a little angry and said, "Think about it carefully."
Seeing how angry his mother was, He Xiang hurriedly said, "I don't want to become an immortal anymore. Mother, don't be angry."
At this time, Shen Lian and Juexin were at the other end of Mica Creek, but no one else could see them.
Juexin said: "This He Xiang's mother is really stupid. Her daughter has already become an immortal. Why is she still thinking of marrying her off?"
Shen Lian said: "In fact, it is not difficult to understand that her mother has no concept of cultivation at all. She still thinks like a mortal and believes that a weak woman must be supported by her husband's family in order to survive. This understanding made her say Say something like that.”
Juexin said: "He Xiang is a good young practitioner. Now is the critical moment. It would be a pity if she gives up. How about I go and give her some encouragement."
Shen Lian waved his hand and said, "No need to go, she was born to be of my generation and can think clearly."
Then Shen Lian smiled towards the void on the left and said: "I tell you two, how interesting it is for you to hide aside and watch the excitement."
Juexin was a little surprised, but he didn't notice anyone else nearby.
As soon as Shen Lian finished speaking, two people appeared not far from them. One is a lame old man, holding an iron crutch and carrying a huge wine gourd. He is dressed in rags and looks like a beggar. The other is wearing a neat blue shirt, holding a medicine hoe and carrying a medicine basket on his shoulder. He looks very handsome. .
The beggar on crutches said to his companion next to him: "Lan Daoxing, I said I couldn't hide it from others, but now I am embarrassed as well."
The man named Lan Daoxing said to Shen Lian: "I am Lan Daoxing from Chunyang Temple. The little girl from the He family is destined to be with Chunyang Temple. I would like to ask fellow Taoists not to interfere with her affairs."
Juexin said: "What a big tone. If we insist on taking care of it, what will you do?"
Lan Daoxing said: "Then let's all do it, so that you two can retreat in spite of the difficulties."
Juexin smiled and said, "Old beggar, do you and your companion have the same idea?"
The beggar holding the iron crutch laughed and said: "I am old and a lame, and my muscles and bones are no longer strong. As long as you defeat Lan Daoxing, great monk, I will have to leave in despair."
Juexin laughed and said, "They say they are old and cunning. Today you have seen it. If you can't see through my master, why not pick on me, a soft persimmon?"
The beggar smiled and said: "Master is smart, otherwise I will admit defeat to your master first. If you also lose to Lan Daoxing, we will consider it a tie, and then we will argue."
