Although the little girl's origins were quite strange, Shen Xiaozi was reluctant to let her go down the mountain. What's more, if she doesn't tell her where she came from, Shen Xiaozi doesn't know where to send her back.
"Cough, cough..."
The little girl suddenly couldn't help but cough lightly, and Shen Xiaozi saw the slightest trace of abnormal paleness on her sculpted little face. He had never deliberately studied medical skills, but after all his cultivation was not shallow, and he could tell that the little girl was sick.
He hesitated for a moment, then took out a small, almost transparent jade bottle, in which lay a white and red elixir quietly.
Shen Xiaozi handed it to her carefully and said, "Here, you won't cough after eating this."
The little girl seemed to have no idea what politeness was. She nodded, took the small jade bottle, and gently unscrewed the cork. Immediately, a stream of spiritual energy that turned into substance floated out of the mouth of the bottle and took the shape of a small snake.
Shen Xiaozi almost turned his head to the side, which was a sign of great pain in his heart. It turns out that the elixir is a spiritual elixir made from a thousand-year-old snake-shaped Ganoderma lucidum as the main medicine. Only nine pills were obtained in one batch. Sickness does not arise. Most of the medicinal power that cannot be digested at the moment will be hidden in the limbs and bones, and the medicinal effect will be slowly exerted.
If it weren't for the other pills on Shen Xiaozi's body, the little girl might not be able to withstand the power of the medicine, and he would be reluctant to give her this pill.
Of course, he also had a subconscious idea, that is, after giving away such precious elixirs, if he also sent this apprentice down the mountain, it would not be a loss of money. Otherwise, as long as he thinks about it for a moment, he can always find many ways to deal with the little girl's coldness, instead of having to give such a precious elixir.
The little girl was not surprised to see the magic of the elixir, so she put the elixir in the small jade bottle into her mouth.
The elixir melted in her mouth, and soon a gentle heat came out of her body, and the cold air in the morning could no longer do anything to her.
She felt as comfortable as if she were soaking in hot water, and her consciousness gradually began to blur.
Seeing this, Shen Xiaozi asked, "How do you feel?"
The little girl replied with three words, "I want to sleep."
Then she really closed her dark eyes and breathed evenly and fell asleep. If Shen Xiaozi hadn't sent a gust of breeze to hold her up, the little girl would have fallen directly into the fresh soil.
By the time the little girl woke up, it was already the third night. The moon rises above Taiyi Peak, wandering between the bullfights.
She opened her eyes and saw Shen Lian, and she had something to ask.
Shen Lian said, "If you want to talk to me, just say it in your heart, I can hear you."
The little girl was a little confused, but nodded.
Only then did she realize that she was sleeping in a lotus pod, next to a clear spring, and a huge rock was naturally separated in the air above her head, like an eaves. The lotus pod was underneath, not afraid of the wind and sun.
"Where's that uncle?"
Shen Lian said: "Over there."
The little girl looked in the direction pointed by Shen Lian and saw Shen Xiaozi meditating under a big tree with two people hugging each other.
She added: "I have listened to your words and gone up the mountain, what should I do next?"
Shen Lian said: "Just let nature take its course."
"Oh." The little girl replied briefly in her heart.
"You're awake." Shen Xiaozi's voice suddenly floated to the little girl's ear.
The little girl turned her head and met Shen Xiaozi's gaze.
Because he has been practicing the thunder method for many years, Shen Xiaozi's eyes will unconsciously have a hint of thunder, so the disciples with lower cultivation levels on the mountain dare not look at him and are very afraid of him.
But the little girl didn't seem to feel anything, and there was only ease and calm in her eyes.
Shen Xiaozi had already guessed that she had a rock-solid character, and he couldn't help but sigh with emotion at this moment. If she were to practice, she would definitely not encounter many bottlenecks.
Since the Qingxuan Taoist Sect was established in the Yuan and Qing Dynasties, Qingxuan's practice purpose has been clarified - "If you want to cultivate your behavior, you must first cultivate your heart." Therefore, Qingxuan's disciples are of the first importance in polishing their Taoist heart. Today, the Taiwei Pavilion that collects classics also has the most Taoist canons and classics from various schools, but very few spells and Taoist secrets.
Yuan Qing said that if someone could understand the essence of those collections, it would be easy to practice spells and Taoist formulas.
If you don't understand the mystical principles, even if you can barely practice magic with the help of your bones, you will be nothing more than water without a source and a tree with no roots. At most, you will just be a ghoul guardian.
Not many people listened to this at first, at least in Shen Xiaozi's generation, very few people listened. Therefore, although most people of his generation had some achievements in the beginning, most of them are now old and dying.
On the contrary, Shen Xiaozi, who was not outstanding at the beginning, caught up with the secrets of thunder method and came up later. He still has a lifespan of hundreds of years. If he is lucky and becomes a soul, he will live forever, far beyond his peers.
Because of this, he deeply understands the importance of mind to spiritual practice. He became even more determined, no matter what, he would ask Master Yuanqing to let him accept this disciple.
Because of the little girl Zhuyu in front of him, more than ten people came to ask for their thoughts one after another, but none of them were able to impress him. And among the new arrivals, no one could look at him calmly like the little girl.
From this point, it was proved that his guess was correct.
In the end, twenty-five people passed the inquiry, but after being screened by the Disciple Selection Dharma Assembly, only ten people remained.
After Shen Xiaozi completed the task, he eagerly took them to Taiyi Peak to meet Yuan Qing.
Although opening a mountain sect and recruiting disciples is a major event in the sect, Yuan Qing did not check the process. He believed that Shen Xiaozi could handle these matters, not to mention that he had been on a whim recently and always felt that something big would happen.
For this reason, he went to ask Dong Xuanzi, who sat with Taoist Master Qingxuan to listen to the sermon. That is to say, Qingxuan's status is now second only to his great elder.
Dong Xuanzi spent his whole life working hard and finally summed up what he had learned into a miraculous skill, which he called Ziwei Divine Art. His ability to deduce heavenly secrets by relying on Ziwei magic is considered top-notch in today's spiritual world.
Yuan Qing explained his purpose to him, but Dong Xuanzi did not refuse and made a divination.
This incident made Yuan Qing deeply regretful, because before Dongxuanzi's hexagram was revealed, his spirit immediately dissipated, and then he passed away.
Although Dong Xuanzi's cultivation was far inferior to him, he still managed to become a Yuanshen and was close to the immortals. However, he fell because of the divination, which shocked Yuan Qing.
He didn't know what big thing was going to happen, but he was deeply worried in his heart. After all, Qingxuan had killed a real Yuanshen before it happened.
If this matter were to be revealed, I'm afraid it would immediately cause shocking waves.
Yuan Qing did not disclose this matter to others. When he saw the ten new disciples who had entered the sect, he was very calm, and Shen Xiaozi did not notice anything.
But Shen Lian was a little surprised when he followed the little girl to Qingxuan Hall. It turned out that he had not paid attention to the situation at Taiyi Peak these days. When he looked at Yuan Qing, he actually saw a trace of death between his eyebrows.
Shen Lian was a little surprised, because according to the established number of days, Yuan Qing should not be in danger of death at this time.
