Soft smoke silk is known for its thinness and softness. It looks elegant and graceful when worn layer by layer. But once it gets wet, it sticks together and becomes almost transparent. It clings tightly to the body, outlining the lines of the shoulders, waist, and thighs.
Hua Tingxuan stared at Chu Danfeng in a daze.
His sleeves were still dripping with water. Although he felt very uncomfortable, Chu Danfeng still couldn't hide his excitement. He climbed out of the cold pond and stepped onto the shore wetly, leaving several footprints on the ground: "I'm back! Xuan'er, look!"
After doing the one-legged bird pose for so long, it felt so good to have both feet on the ground. Chu Danfeng couldn't help but excitedly turned around and jumped twice.
When she turned around, she saw the soaked gauze wrapped around her thin waist, which made her buttocks look fuller and more voluptuous. As her owner jumped up and down, she trembled slightly...
Hua Tingxuan: “!”
Chu Danfeng stretched his body comfortably, and habitually ordered his junior brother: "Help me hold my clothes. I didn't stand firmly, and they are all wet!"
But until he undressed and took off his outer robe, Hua Tingxuan still did not move.
"Xuan'er? Xiao Liuzi? Hua Tingxuan!" Chu Danfeng raised his head in confusion, only to see Hua Tingxuan with his back to him, his hands seemingly covering his face.
"What’s wrong with you?"
Hua Tingxuan wiped the blood from his nose silently, and said without turning his head: "Junior Brother, the water is too cold. You have turned back into a human now, and there are no feathers to keep you warm. It is better not to wash it. Use magic to dry the clothes first."
"But magic..." Chu Danfeng stopped talking halfway, and an idea suddenly occurred to him: Yes, why not try magic
In the past, because his golden elixir had shattered, the foundation of his cultivation had been destroyed. His body was like a broken hut with leaks everywhere, and it was unable to retain spiritual energy at all. As a result, many of his small spells were powerless and his hands were very damp.
Therefore, as a monk, he was more accustomed to washing clothes by hand.
Now that he has turned back into a human, it means that the "melting of the golden elixir" has been completed. Does that mean that his golden elixir has been repaired and he can use spells freely like other golden elixir-stage cultivators
Chu Danfeng silently circulated the spiritual flow in his body, closed his eyes and entered into meditation, breathing in the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. As expected, he could clearly feel that his dantian had recovered as before, and was even more resilient and powerful than before. If the dantian was like a deep ancient well when he first formed the elixir, it was now like a vast ocean, unfathomable.
Chu Danfeng was so excited that he tried to mobilize his spiritual power and recited the spell silently. Suddenly, a warm air rose from his body. Within a few breaths, his wet clothes were evaporated dry.
Chu Danfeng: “!!!”
"Sixth Junior Brother, look, how is my technique?"
Hua Tingxuan had just been silently chanting the Heart Clearing Mantra and finally managed to calm down. When he turned around, he saw his senior brother looking at him with a pair of sparkling peach blossom eyes. His wet robe had become dry and flowing again, and his black hair had been steamed dry. His black hair was as beautiful as a string of silk in the warm sun, except for a streak of wine-red on his forehead, which was lifted by the breeze and fell on his smooth, white shoulders.
White shoulders...
Shoulder…
Nothing on the shoulders!!
The sleeves have slipped down to the arms! Even the delicate and straight collarbone can be seen.
Hua Tingxuan felt that the Heart Purification Mantra he had just recited was in vain. He cleared his dry throat, took a step forward, and reached out to pull up Chu Danfeng's sleeves.
Chu Danfeng realized belatedly that he had taken off half of his wet clothes and tried to dry them with magic. When he succeeded, he was so happy that he forgot to put them back on. Now his clothes were really in disarray. However, a real man does not care about trivial matters, and he is used to being served by his junior brother, so he stood there and waited obediently.
But as soon as Hua Tingxuan's fingers touched him, Chu Danfeng felt a strange tingling sensation, which suddenly spread from the skin touched by the other party's fingertips, and he almost let out a not-so-dignified hum.
Chu Danfeng opened his hand reflexively and met Hua Tingxuan's surprised gaze.
"..." Chu Danfeng also felt that he was a bit crazy just now. He coughed lightly and smiled, "Maybe I just turned back into a human and I'm a bit uncomfortable. I can do it myself."
After he finished speaking, he pulled up his sleeves proudly, and then continued to ask enthusiastically: "You haven't said what yet?"
Junior Brother Hua was always well-behaved in front of Chu Danfeng. He smiled, lowered his eyebrows and replied amiably, "Senior Brother's skills have improved greatly. Your golden elixir should have recovered, right?"
"Exactly!" Chu Danfeng smiled and patted Hua Tingxuan's shoulder in a friendly manner, "You have worked hard to take care of me these days. Come on, let's go back and report to the head master, then we can go back to Lixu Peak. After we get down the mountain, I will treat you to a good meal."
Although Qingshanju is nice, it is not your own home after all. There are boys and cranes here, and with so many eyes watching, everything you do feels like you are being monitored, and you feel very uncomfortable.
Chu Danfeng rubbed his head again and sighed, "You've grown taller again. In two years, I won't be able to rub your head like this. Hey, when you first came up the mountain, you were so small, not even as tall as my waist. In the blink of an eye, you've grown so big. I'm old too."
Hua Tingxuan raised his eyes and saw Chu Danfeng's smooth, porcelain-white profile. After the elixir was melted, he seemed to look younger than before, with redder lips and whiter teeth.
Hua Tingxuan: "Young Senior Brother is not old."
Chu Danfeng didn't take it seriously and laughed: "Your little mouth, is it filled with honey?"
But when he returned to the bronze mirror and saw himself in the mirror, he realized that his sixth junior brother's words "not old" were not a compliment.
It's more than just 'immortal', it's as if I have returned to my youth, looking like a teenager of sixteen or seventeen. Because of the improvement of my cultivation, the gleam in my eyes can no longer be concealed, making my pupils look more lively, and my skin has become increasingly delicate and smooth as if my essence has been cleansed.
…It is beautiful, but isn’t it a bit feminine
Also, what's with that bit of red hair on the forehead
Chu Danfeng grabbed the burgundy hair and almost thrust his face into the mirror: "What the hell is this?"
Ever since Chu Danfeng turned back into a human, Hua Tingxuan's eyes have been glued to him. Before Chu Danfeng finished speaking, he began to explain: "It should be the effect of the demon pill. The Bifang bird is born good at controlling fire. When you were a bird, there was a tuft of red hair on your head."
Chu Danfeng groaned and said in disgust, "It's so ugly."
Hua Tingxuan: "How could that be? Senior Brother looks better than before."
Chu Danfeng still frowned: "You also said it's 'good-looking', shouldn't a man be 'handsome'?"
“… It must be because of the hair!” After saying that, he used a color-changing spell, and the wine-red color disappeared, returning to its ink-black color.
Oh wow! It's so cool to cultivate the Golden Core, the magic is so smooth, look at the effect, there is no flaw at all! Just like natural black hair.
There was a hint of regret in Hua Tingxuan's eyes, but he still said, "Junior Brother, let Xuan'er help you tie your hair."
"Okay." After so many years, Chu Danfeng was used to being served by him. He sat down naturally and let Hua Tingxuan take care of him.
He thought that after he packed up, he would say goodbye to the head master. Maybe he could go down the mountain before dinner. He hadn't visited those restaurants for more than a year. He didn't know if they had added any new dishes to their menus. But even if they were the original ones, they were enough to eat. Sweet-scented osmanthus glutinous rice lotus root, golden cake, bamboo tube grilled fish, chicken bean jelly, fermented rice meatballs...
It was really exciting just thinking about it. Just as Chu Danfeng was swallowing his saliva quietly, a series of screams came from the courtyard. The two brothers looked at each other and rushed out of the room. They saw that several spirit beasts trained by Lin Cangfeng were flapping their wings restlessly all over the yard.
Even the usually graceful cranes were frightened and screamed in panic, and a few sword-holding boys were afraid that they would disturb the master's meditation, so they scolded them, but it was of no use.
Just at this moment, there was a sharp cry in the sky, and a giant aqua blue bird swooped down. The huge Qingshanju courtyard was covered by the shadow of the giant bird's wings. It rushed around and hit the transparent barrier, making the peacocks and cranes in the courtyard more uneasy. This time, they did not run around, but lowered their heads in unison, as if they were paying homage to the big brother.
The 'big bird' became more and more courageous as it continued to dive with a sharp scream, causing the barrier to vibrate, and finally alarmed the owner of the house.
"Evil beast! Stop being rude!" Lin Cangfeng flicked his sleeves, and the barrier became stable again. The big bird hit it again and was bounced back heavily. It let out a wronged whine, but still did not leave, just hovering over Qingshanju.
"Xiao Liu, do you think this bird looks familiar?" Chu Danfeng asked Hua Tingxuan quietly.
This bird looked a bit like his own bird! Or rather, it looked like the little blue bird.
Lin Cangfeng glanced at Chu Danfeng, narrowed his eyes slightly, and after a moment he waved his sleeves and actually removed the barrier. The big bird chirped excitedly, and wrapped in a strong wind, swooped down with the force of thunder, and went straight to Chu Danfeng.
Chu Danfeng: “!!!”
Is this bird so wild? He used his body-protecting energy reflexively, but the big bird swooped down like an arrow, but it grabbed the ground with its only big claw and stopped steadily without hitting anyone. Then it stretched out its big round head, chirped twice like a young bird, and rubbed against Chu Danfeng like a spoiled child.
Chu Danfeng: “???”
The bird was too enthusiastic and Chu Danfeng was almost knocked over by it. Fortunately, he stopped in time and did not embarrass himself on the spot. He held its sharp and hard beak and asked hesitantly: "Are you... Bifang bird?"
The big bird chirped again and flapped its wings excitedly, accidentally blowing two cranes away.
"..." You have to know that those are the spiritual pets raised by Lin Cangfeng. They have all developed intelligence and their cultivation is higher than that of ordinary foundation-building disciples. One of them has even reached the "soul-planting" stage, which is similar to the golden elixir stage of cultivators.
Chu Danfeng looked at the head master with a guilty look before asking, "How did you grow so big all of a sudden?"
"This is its original form. After swallowing the Yinshen Stage demon pill, the bird's cultivation increased greatly. No wonder all the spirit beasts in the courtyard are afraid of it," Lin Cangfeng answered him. "If I remember correctly, it should have been sleeping in your sea of consciousness?"
Chu Danfeng said respectfully: "That's right."
"When you wake up, it can also escape from the sea of consciousness and restore its true form. It seems that this bird has recognized you as its master," Lin Cangfeng said with relief, "You are really a child of luck. Not only did you restore your golden elixir, but you also got such a high-level spiritual pet."
A spiritual pet? Chu Danfeng couldn't help but touch the head of the big blue bird, thinking to himself that it might be nice to have a big bird. Other cultivators who had passed the Jindan stage would usually choose to fly with swords, but his lifeblood was a bamboo-bone peach blossom fan. Stepping on a fan would only make his status lower instead of higher.
It would be different if there was an ancient mythical bird!
only…
"Master," Chu Danfeng asked worriedly, "I heard that mixed-blood monsters are all weak and most die young. Even if you force them to improve their cultivation, they will not be able to achieve the right result. Will it be backfired?"
"Don't worry," Lin Cangfeng said, "Only a part of the ancient blood of the Bifang Divine Bird remains in its body. The original blood of the demon dragon has been completely absorbed by you, but..."
He stopped talking, seeming to want to say something else.
"But what?" Chu Danfeng and Hua Tingxuan looked at Lin Cangfeng curiously.
Sect Master Lin coughed lightly and said, "It's nothing. You are just kids, don't ask too many questions. Now that you have recovered your human form, go back to Lixu Peak today. You must keep the matter of Rongdan a secret."
Brothers Feng and Xuan both bowed and said solemnly, "Disciple obeys your command."
"Go ahead." Lin Cangfeng waved his hand, and when the two were about to turn over and get up, he called Chu Danfeng again, "Danfeng, opportunities are rare, cultivation is the most important thing, don't indulge in fun, when you return to Lixu Peak... you must keep yourself clean."
Chu Danfeng: “… …” Does that mean that the matter of Huang Changtian using the jade disc to transmit his message and invite him to drink wine a year ago has already reached the ears of the head master! !
Why do you have to remind yourself of this suddenly
Chu Danfeng was so embarrassed that he didn't dare to look at his sixth junior brother beside him. He gritted his teeth and replied dryly, "Yes", then climbed onto the back of the big blue bird without looking back.
True social death.
Lin Cangfeng was actually a little embarrassed. He was an elder after all. He couldn't bring himself to say, "Now that you have become a top-grade cauldron, your body will be extra sensitive. In the future, you should try to avoid physical contact with others. Be careful not to get horny like a monster and arouse the other person's bestiality."
