[September, the third year of Nirvana]
It has been a long time since I last recorded my daily practice. When I picked up the pen again, I didn’t know how to record the time for a moment.
After much thought, I wrote down the word "Nirvana". Everything I am experiencing at this moment is a rebirth in Nirvana for me.
It has been more than a month since I joined Tianyan Sect. A lot of things have happened and many problems have been solved.
What made me happiest was that my grandfather had finally solved his biggest problem. He had now rented a training room from the Tianyan Sect and started to retreat and build his foundation.
Qi Ming also brought Qi Yue to live in Tianku Peak, and together with Tang Shengcai, who was in charge of construction matters, they concentrated on building various halls on Tianku Peak.
Once everything is built, I can move to Tianku Peak with my master.
Everything is proceeding step by step and in an orderly manner.
Of course, there were also unexpected things that happened.
The first is Yinfengjian. Because of the disturbance caused by Jia Xiuchun last time, the underground seal loosened. The master directly called the Supreme Elder to deal with it. Now the seal has been reinforced again, and I don’t know if there will be snow this winter.
In addition, Zhenjun Fuyi seemed to have set her sights on me. These past few days, when I went in and out of the Wanfa Hall, I always ran into Zhenjun Fuyi intentionally or unintentionally. Every time she said that she had something to do in the formation courtyard of the Wanfa Hall, and every time she finished it, she wanted to see me out.
Then every time on the road, he would ask me all kinds of questions about formations, endlessly. But Master Fuyi was a Nascent Soul, and I was just a Qi-cultivating teenager, so I couldn't hide at all.
I reported this to my master, but he didn't care. He even said something like 'A thief can steal for a thousand days, but you can never be on guard against thieves for a thousand days. A disciple who can be kidnapped is not a good disciple.' I was really... (doodle here)
Next time I will tell Master Fuyi that my master called her a thief behind her back, humph!
I'm in a bad mood, so I went into seclusion to practice!
Now I am a mortal being and everything I know is only in my head. It takes some time for me to practice again before I can regain my original feeling.
I wrote a practice plan for myself. My main technique is "Five Elements Return to Truth", my main martial arts is "White Dragon Spear Technique", and my main body building is "Nine Transformations Golden Body Technique".
As for body movements and spells, I can master them all if I am familiar with what I learned before. After much deliberation, I decided to pick up the "Secret Book of Fire Refining the Sky" by Master Canghuo again.
This can also be considered a fire-attributed body-building exercise, and the nine fire talismans cover a wide range and are very useful in combat.
The only problem is to find a way to get the current True Lord Canghuo to give me the skills again, otherwise I will have a hard time explaining myself if I use it later.
This time I can directly avoid the detours I took in my previous practice. Although the things I learn seem a bit too much, it is actually nothing to me. I can even learn faster and more thoroughly than before.

[Third year of Nirvana, October]
Just like before, Anan successfully broke through to the fourth level of Qi training this month, even a few days earlier than before.
Even Xie Jingshan broke through to the third level of Qi training this month. It's a pity that I'm already at the fifth level of Qi training hahaha~
Everyone is working harder than before, so I have to work harder too, hehe!
The weather turned cold, and I spent more time in seclusion this month, so I didn’t run into Master Fuyi.
However, recently, there has been an endless stream of guests visiting Master's courtyard. They are all elders from the Hedan Palace, who come to ask Master about the art of alchemy.
All of Master Bailu’s precious ginsengs came to play in Master’s yard, and I caught them several times and hung them all under the beams!
Grandpa hasn't come out of seclusion yet. This time of seclusion to build the foundation will take a bit long, and I don't know whether it will be successful or not. However, this matter can only rely on Grandpa's own efforts. No one else can help him.
Another incident happened recently, about Lin Suiwan.
In fact, I had long stopped caring about her. I only found out about her occasionally when chatting with my master.
Ever since Lin Xiangtian got into trouble, people who were close to Lin Xiangtian, such as the spiritual farmer named Xiao Ankuo, have all been dealt with. All of these followers of Lin Xiangtian have lost lives on their hands.
The master manages the Law Enforcement Hall and enforces the law strictly and fairly, so he will naturally not let anyone off the hook.
But for Lin Suiwan, a six-year-old child, her master gave her a break because of her young age and allowed her to continue practicing in Tianyan Sect as an outer disciple.
It's a pity that Lin Sui Wan herself was not up to the task and could not endure the hardship of practicing. Less than a month after Lin Xiangtian's death, she had already gone to the Internal Affairs Hall crying several times, asking them to send her back to Yong'an City, as she didn't want to practice Taoism anymore.
I thought about it carefully, and I can actually understand it. Lin Suiwan has been living a life of luxury in the Lin Mansion since she was a child, with her every request met and she has lived a life of being served by others.
In the Tianyan Sect, one has to rely on oneself for everything. After Lin Xiangtian's death, someone will definitely take revenge on her because of her previous arrogance and domineering behavior.
The master has agreed to Lin Suiwan's request and sent her back.
I think that if she returns to the Lin Mansion this time, she will be half dead if not dead. But it's okay. If she stays in the Tianyan Sect, she will eventually be possessed by Shen Huaixi's mother and cannot escape death. At least she can survive if she goes back.
After a month of hard training, it’s time to relax and go see what Anan and the others are doing.

[November, the third year of Nirvana]
Grandpa has successfully established his foundation!
Although it has snowed heavily this month, there have been many good news. The construction of Tianku Peak has been completed and we can move there at any time.
Grandpa successfully established his foundation, and the team that went to fight the drought demon returned safely without any casualties. The whole sect was filled with joy.
Except for Master Canghuo, everyone seemed a little disappointed and unhappy.
I'd better not show up in front of Master Canghuo these days, lest he comes to me and asks me for clarification.
During the past few days of moving to Tianku Peak, there were a lot of chores to do, so Qi Ming arranged Qi Yue to be my assistant. I knew his intention and did not refuse.
I also borrowed the name of my master to temporarily keep Tang Shengcai in Huaxi Valley, and gave him some drawings of making puppet parts for him to study first.
Grandpa still needs to retreat for a period of time to consolidate his cultivation. When he comes out, Master will give him the blueprint of the farming puppet and let him take charge of this matter.
As for Yunchang's family, the master has already gone to the Internal Affairs Hall to issue a transfer order, asking them to move to Huaxi Valley and specialize in breeding spiritual insects in Huaxi Valley.
The snow was getting heavier, and I suddenly thought of the red oil hotpot I had eaten in Chaotianyu. I asked the chef to prepare the ingredients and invite everyone to eat together, which would warm the room for me and bring me closer to everyone.
During this period of time when I was in contact with Shen Huaixi, I could clearly feel that he was worried. Xie Jingshan should have sensed it too, and he always teased him on purpose.
Shen Huaixi's matter is very complicated, and I can't handle it at the moment. I can only ask Master to have more contact with Shen Huaixi, gain his trust, and then let Shen Huaixi tell me about the Qing Nangzi himself.
Finally, if the supreme elder could take action, perhaps the Qing Nangzi could be captured temporarily.

[December, the third year of Nirvana]
The thousand-year-old resentment in Yinfengjian erupted, and the snow disaster finally came.
Master was well prepared, and Master Fuyi reacted quickly. They accurately found the source of the resentment. Master helped me trap Ye Shiming's obsession and merge it with Xiaolu.
This, as before, happened without any surprises.
But I didn’t find Yu Chen.
I have searched the entire Huaxi Valley and set up a large formation in advance, so there is no way that any ice beetle can escape.
We searched all night but found nothing until dawn.
If I think about it carefully, I have deviated from my previous path of practice, so how can I expect the opportunity this time to be exactly the same as before
I was in a depressed mood for several days, even the spicy rabbit legs roasted by my master didn't smell good anymore, until Cai Ren, who was stationed at the Taoist temple outside Yong'an City, came back to report on his work and brought me a letter from my parents, as well as a big bag of food and clothes.
Seeing these things, my heart suddenly felt warm.
In the letter, my parents said that they had settled down in Yong'an City and bought a small courtyard. They opened a carpentry shop facing the street in the front and lived in the backyard.
My younger brother went to school and was praised by the teacher for his performance in the year-end exam.
The words in the letter were full of my parents' satisfaction with their current life, and they also reminded me to take good care of myself in the Immortal Gate.
This letter from my parents came just in time, and it suddenly made me realize that I have already gained enough, and losing Yu Chen is destined.
There is gain and loss, there is no need to be depressed.
Just like what the mayfly said, human power has its limits and nothing in the world is perfect.
It’s the end of the year, and this year we can invite everyone to celebrate New Year’s Eve together on Tianku Peak. It will definitely be very lively!
