In the evening, the snow continued to fall.
In front of Jianfeng Cliff, the wind was cold and the sky was filled with clouds and mist.
Linghu Qingzhu was dressed in green, standing alone on the edge of the cliff.
I don’t know how much time passed.
Her expression suddenly changed and she looked down. A shadow flew out from the clouds and stopped in front of her.
Then it flashed past again and flew into the cave.
Linghu Qingzhu turned around, entered the cave, and came to the stone chamber.
She waited quietly for a while before she asked, "Are you back?"
Luo Qingzhou's voice came from inside: "I'm back."
Then he asked in a trembling voice: "Uncle Master, why are my pants wet? What did you do to my body?"
Linghu Qingzhu said coldly: "Not only are your pants wet, your whole body is wet."
There was silence inside for a moment.
Luo Qingzhou said: "Oh, it's sweat..."
"Squeak..."
The stone door slowly opened.
Luo Qingzhou came out soaking wet and said, "Uncle Master, I want to take a shower. Also, I'm hungry..."
Linghu Qingzhu narrowed his eyes and asked, "What did you do when you left your body just now?"
Luo Qingzhou said: "Go out and cool down, otherwise your body can't bear it."
Linghu Qingzhu asked: "How do you dissipate the heat?"
Luo Qingzhou said calmly, "I soaked in the water for a while."
Linghu Qingzhu said: "It will take more than a moment."
Luo Qingzhou wiped the sweat from his neck and said, "Uncle Master, I want to go out and take a shower. I feel so uncomfortable."
Linghu Qingzhu frowned, sniffed the sweaty smell on his body with some disdain, walked to a passage on the left, and said, "There is a bathhouse inside, go take a shower, and come to eat after you're done."
Luo Qingzhou took a look inside and said hesitantly: "Uncle Master, that's where you usually take a bath, right? I'd better go out and take a bath, so as not to dirty your bathtub."
Linghu Qingzhu said coldly: "Have you made a breakthrough?"
Luo Qingzhou shook his head.
Linghu Qingzhu said coldly: "Then you can't go out. The energy of the Hualing Pill is now filling your body. It's snowing outside. If the alternation between cold and heat is too severe, the effect may be greatly reduced."
Luo Qingzhou asked: "Really?"
Linghu Qingzhu said coldly: "If you don't believe me, you can just go out."
Luo Qingzhou hesitated for a moment and said, "Then I'd better not go out, Uncle Master. I'm all black with sweat and dirt. If I dirty your bathtub..."
"Nonsense!"
Linghu Qingzhu walked into the passage with a cold face and turned into a spacious stone chamber.
In the middle of the stone chamber is a bathing pool.
In the pool, the spring water is warm and the mist is thick.
Next to the bathing pool, there were two baskets of pink and blue petals, and the faint floral fragrance drifted throughout the stone chamber.
Linghu Qingzhu flicked his sleeves, and petals flew up, like flowers scattered by a fairy, and fell into the bathtub.
There are ripples on the clear water in the pool.
"What are you dawdling for? Come in!"
She turned around, looked at the door, and ordered in a cold voice.
"oh."
Luo Qingzhou agreed and walked in.
Linghu Qingzhu glanced at him again, walked towards the door, and said coldly: "Remember to wash yourself clean, you stink."
Luo Qingzhou's face was filled with embarrassment.
The footsteps quickly faded away in the corridor outside.
"Why isn't there even a door?"
Luo Qingzhou secretly complained in his heart and was about to take off his clothes, but after thinking for a while, he walked towards the door again, stuck his head out and took a look outside. What he saw gave him a fright.
Linghu Qingzhu was hiding silently nearby. When he leaned forward, he happened to be facing her face, and they stared at each other in bewilderment.
The air suddenly became silent.
Luo Qingzhou froze for a moment and said, "Uncle Master, what...what are you doing?"
He had just clearly heard her footsteps leaving.
Linghu Qingzhu was not embarrassed at all, and said with a cold face: "I came back to remind you that you can take a shower, but don't... pee in it."
After saying that, she turned and left with a cold face.
Luo Qingzhou froze at the door for a while. After seeing her really leave, he returned to the bathtub, immediately took off his clothes and jumped in.
Although he was still feeling hot inside, the temperature of the spring water was just right. It did not make him feel any worse, and it seemed to be much more comfortable than before.
He had an idea and decided to give it a try here.
There happened to be a stone bench in the water near the edge of the pool.
He immediately went over and sat cross-legged on it, closing his eyes and concentrating, practicing his internal energy, slowly stimulating the heat in his abdomen to flow through the veins and acupuncture points, flowing back and forth in his limbs and bones, flushing and cleansing, continuing to temper himself.
Unconsciously, he once again entered that mysterious and selfless state.
At some point, a head quietly popped out from the door, and the dark eyes stared at him for a while before retracting back.
After a while, the head popped out again.
The sky outside the cave was already pitch black.
The wind was biting cold on the cliff, but the snowflakes were still falling silently.
A girl in a snow-white dress came from nowhere and was standing on the edge of the cliff, looking at the clouds in the distance in deep thought.
"Woo..."
At this moment, an ethereal sound of a flute came from the cliff not far away.
The girl was slightly startled, then walked along the path along the cliff.
Soon, a figure in blue came into view.
The girl walked closer and stopped. After the flute sound stopped, she said, "I didn't expect Senior Linghu could play the flute."
Linghu Qingzhu put away the jade flute, looked at her and asked, "Did Su Feng and Su Yu arrange a cave for you?"
The girl nodded and said, "It's arranged. But I didn't come here to rest and enjoy the snow. Senior, you have nothing to do tonight, why don't you teach me a few moves?"
Linghu Qingzhu looked at her hazy face covered by the veil, paused, and said: "Don't you think it's rude to talk to me wearing a veil?"
The girl bowed her head and apologized, saying softly, "Please forgive me, Senior, but this veil was allowed to be worn by my master. My master said that I can only take it off and show it to others if they beat me."
Linghu Qingzhu showed a hint of sarcasm at the corner of his mouth: "Is it a reward?"
The girl shook her head and said, "It's a rule. Master said that I am from the White Lotus Clan. Women of the White Lotus Clan, as long as they are unmarried, must wear a veil regardless of whether they are beautiful or ugly. Unless the man beats her in a fight or marries her."
Hearing this, Linghu Qingzhu nodded slightly and said, "I've heard of it."
The girl bowed and said, "Senior, can I ask you for some sword techniques?"
Linghu Qingzhu paused and asked, "What sword do you use?"
The girl raised her hand, and a precious sword suddenly appeared in her hand. She said, "An ordinary Qingfeng sword, where is it, senior?"
Linghu Qingzhu looked indifferent and raised a finger.
The girl was slightly startled. When she was about to ask, her eyes suddenly moved, her figure flashed, and she rushed back. At the same time, the sword in her hand was immediately placed across her chest.
"laugh-"
A green sword light suddenly shot out from Linghu Qingzhu's fingertips, and with a "ding" sound, it hit the sword in her hand.
"Card!"
The girl's wrist shook, and the sword in her hand broke into two pieces in an instant.
At the same time, a terrible force pushed her on the snow, and she slid back dozens of meters before stopping.
She stood up and her expression finally changed.
"Shh! Shh! Shh!"
Linghu Qingzhu pointed all five fingers towards the clouds in the abyss ahead, and instantly shot out five finger swords of different colors, which pierced through the sea of clouds and left five deep finger holes on the opposite rock wall.
The girl was stunned for a moment when she saw this scene, then she let go of the broken sword in her hand and said, "Senior's swordsmanship is indeed superb, and has reached the level where a sword is better than nothing. What I saw today is really an eye-opener for me!"
Linghu Qingzhu put away his hands and stood proudly on the edge of the cliff, saying calmly: "The art of swordsmanship is ever-changing and boundless. My finger sword is just the tip of the iceberg."
The girl sighed softly and said, "I really have to come out and take a look. If I don't come out, how can I know such a magical sword technique? The longer a person hides in a sect to practice, the more he becomes like a frog in a well, sitting in a well and looking at the sky, arrogant. The few swords you taught me today have benefited me a lot, and I am very grateful."
Linghu Qingzhu suddenly asked: "Can I see your face?"
After hearing this, the girl was slightly startled and asked, "Senior is a woman, are you also interested in my appearance?"
Linghu Qingzhu said expressionlessly: "I heard that you are the most beautiful in Da Yan. I am very curious about how beautiful you are."
The girl smiled bitterly and said, "It's just a rumor. How can I dare to call myself the most beautiful girl in Da Yan with my appearance?"
After a pause, she continued, "If you want to talk about the most beautiful woman in Da Yan, I have seen a sister before. She can be called the most beautiful woman in Da Yan, or even in the world."
Linghu Qingzhu asked: "Oh, who is it?"
The girl's eyes showed a trace of reminiscence. She was stunned for a moment, but shook her head and said, "I don't know either. I only know that she is like a fairy, peerless and unparalleled. She saved my family's lives and gave me an elixir before leaving. It was with the help of that elixir that I awakened my talent and physique, and then entered Xianyun Pavilion. Over the years, I have been looking for her, but unfortunately, I haven't found her. I think she should be the fairy who came down from the Heavenly Palace."
Linghu Qingzhu was silent for a moment, then asked, "Are there any gods in this world?"
The girl nodded and said, "Yes, in my heart, that sister is her. Her white clothes are like snow, her face is like a fairy, anyone who takes a look at her will find it hard to forget her."
The two were chatting on the edge of the cliff.
Snowflakes were flying all over the sky, but they bypassed the two of them and flew away.
In the cave, in the bathing pool.
Luo Qingzhou woke up from his cultivation and felt much more comfortable, but there still seemed to be a flame burning in his dantian and acupoints.
The energy brought by the two Spirit Transformation Pills has not yet been fully digested.
Just one step away from a breakthrough!
He thought for a while, then reached out and scooped up a handful of water from the flower petals and poured it on his body. After scrubbing off all the sweat and dirt on his body, he took out the communication certificate and sent a message to Sister Yue.
Sister Yue, I just practiced for another hour in the hot spring and felt much better. But for some reason, I still didn't make a breakthrough.
The message came back quickly: Hot spring? Are you alone
Luo Qingzhou's mouth twitched: Of course I'm alone, what is Sister Yue thinking about
Sister Yue: Take a picture for me to see
When Luo Qingzhou was wondering, another message came: Let me take a look at the cultivation environment, maybe it has something to do with the environment.
