On the mountainside behind the school, there is a small mountain courtyard with a few scattered small houses. Although it is a bit dilapidated, it can be considered elegant. The surrounding environment is quiet, with gurgling spring water and the fragrance of birds and flowers.
Standing in the yard was a figure in white with fluttering black hair. He was lowering his head and holding a showerhead to water a small vegetable field in the yard. The seeds sown more than half a month ago have now sprouted green seeds. Seedlings.
"Mom Yu! I'm back!"
Qi Ying happily opened the courtyard door.
Hearing the shout, the woman in white raised her head, revealing a haggard but delicate face. She was about thirty years old, with a nose as thick as a gallbladder, lips as fresh as lichen, but one of her eyes was tightly closed: " Why did you come back from school so early today? Did you skip class?"
"Yes, I escaped." Qi Ying walked over quickly, took the showerhead from her hand, and said with a smile, "I will water the vegetable fields... The courses arranged by the school for our new disciples today are not cultivation courses, but mainland courses. You taught me all about history and culture when I was four years old, so why do I need it? I did a few tasks in the school and got some elixirs."
"Oh, you are very diligent!"
The woman in white didn't seem to care at all about Qi Ying skipping class: "Let me see the fruits of your labor today."
"OK."
Qi Ying quickly watered the last bit of the vegetable field, put down the shower head, and took out the small jade bottle for him from his arms: "Here it is! I worked hard today, and the teacher in charge of chores in the school gave me a quick bottle!"
"Then you have to work harder to help others in the future." The woman in white approached Qi Ying, her expression suddenly changed: "Qi Yun Dan? Where did you get such a precious elixir?"
"Mom Yu, how do you know..."
Qi Ying was still surprised that she knew that the elixir in the small bottle was Qi Yun Dan - not to mention she was blind, normal people couldn't tell what was inside just by looking at the bottle!
But the woman in white suddenly became angry: "Qi Ying, kneel down!"
"Mom Rain!"
"Kneel down!"
"yes."
Qi Ying sighed, placed the small jade bottle on the stone table next to him, knelt in front of the woman in white, and lowered his head - just like what he would do every time he made a mistake in the past fifteen years.
Snapped!
The woman in white seemed very angry and her whole body was shaking. She turned around and groped on the stone table, picked up a slender bamboo cane, and threw it directly on the back of Qi Ying's neck.
"I don't care about you if you skip class, and I don't care about you if you are naughty and playful, but if you do deception, kidnapping, and robbery, are you worthy of me?" The woman in white's voice was trembling, and her body was shaking more and more. "I have taught you since you were a child that you should be kind to others and not benefit yourself at the expense of others. But what about you? What did you do? Where did you get the elixir?"
"Did I cheat and steal this? Is it..."
Qi Ying just wanted to defend himself, but halfway through speaking, he held back his words.
"It's not cheating, kidnapping and stealing? It's just robbery!" The woman in white was obviously even more angry, "One Qi Accumulating Pill is worth three Dali Pills. There are eleven Qi Accumulating Pills in the bottle, which is thirty-three Dali Pills. Pill, your classmate has to do chores for a month to get these pills. How much hard work does that have to take? You... you... really piss me off!"
"Mom Yu, I was wrong."
Qi Ying whispered.
"Are you wrong? You are right, how could you be wrong?"
"Mom Yu, I was really wrong."
"Is it really wrong?"
"wrong."
"What's wrong?"
"You shouldn't steal other people's pills."
"Haha!" The woman in white raised her bamboo cane again and slapped Qi Ying hard on the forehead, "It's just that you shouldn't steal other people's pills? Do you know why I didn't let you practice until you were fifteen? That's it. I'm afraid that one day you will rely on your cultivation strength to be higher than others and trample on the weak... You were not like this when you were in Wuming City... If I had known this, no matter how much you requested, I would not have let you come to Tianhe. Jun... Wuwu... Oh my god, how did my Ying'er become such a person... Did I fail to teach him well?"
"Mom Yu, it's not like this... This bottle of elixir belongs to an aristocratic Qi Martial Realm disciple in the school. He usually likes to bully us humble disciples and collects protection fees to extort crystal stones. And I am borrowing it. I will tell you later. When I reach the Qi Martial Realm, I will pay him back the whole bottle..."
"Nonsense, you are only at the seventh level of the Liwu Realm, can you defeat a disciple of the Qi Martial Realm?"
"Really, he is too weak. He has a Qi Martial Realm and he doesn't know how to use it at all. He can just throw a straight punch. His movement reaction is slower than that of a sloth. I can kill him with three punches and two kicks." He lay down. He gave me the elixir, but I thought it was too precious, so I said I was borrowing it and would return it to him later."
"so?"
The face of the woman in white softened a little, and then she said coldly: "That's not okay! You beat him today, what if he lets others make trouble for you tomorrow? Things in the aristocratic circle are not something that we, the descendants of poor families, can get involved in!" Entering the Marquis Gate is as deep as the sea, can you fight against the evil intentions of these people?"
"I said, if he dares to retaliate, as long as he can't beat me to death, I will blow his asshole out with a stick."
"What?"
"Blow his asshole with a shit stick."
"Pfft..."
The woman in white smiled, and Qi Ying thought she looked so beautiful when she smiled, even if she kept her eyes closed.
"Forget it, stand up. I guess it's not your fault today, I'll just teach you a lesson with two crutches. Remember from now on, avoid interacting with those nobles, it's best not to say a word, that's all for men, especially She is a noble woman, and she is also poison, so you cannot touch her at all, do you understand?"
"Understand!"
Qi Ying hurriedly stood up from the ground, walked behind the woman in white, put his hands on her shoulders, and kneaded her gently: "Mom Yu, don't be angry. I will take you for a walk outside? In the creek outside, There is green lotus fish, how about I grill it for you?"
"Um... okay."
"Yup."
Qi Ying walked around in front of the woman in white, took her hand, and led her out of the courtyard.
When he first arrived at the gate of the hospital, he suddenly felt something was wrong with his body. A familiar pain spread from his left hand, as if all the blood in his body was rushing towards his left hand and left arm. His whole body was suddenly hollowed out, and his left hand His left arm hurt as if ten thousand ants were biting him, but the rest of his body felt like it was in an ice cellar... He had experienced this situation countless times since he was a child, but since he started practicing one and a half months ago, he has been able to With the improvement of cultivation level, this kind of pain that often breaks out when the energy in the body is insufficient becomes more and more intense...
In most cases in the past, Qi Ying could persist for a moment, take the elixir, and use the abundant energy in the elixir to ease the pain and suppress the abnormal movement of his left hand.
But this time, the attack was so violent that Qi Ying couldn't hold it back. His mind went blank and he fainted...
…
"ah… "
Qi Ying gradually regained consciousness.
He groaned softly, opened his eyes and saw the wooden roof. He turned his head and saw the white figure sitting next to him.
"I'm awake." The woman in white sighed, "Fortunately, I have the bottle of Qi Accumulating Pill. The effect of Qi Accumulating Pill is much better than Dali Pill. I've given you three pills. I guess you should be able to I won’t get sick again. In the future, remember, if there is anything wrong with your body, take pills immediately. Even if there is nothing wrong, take one Dali Pill a day. The higher your cultivation level, the higher its demands on you... It’s really a bottomless pit. …”
"Mom Yu... what on earth is it?"
Qi Ying took out his left hand from the quilt - at this time, he took off his shirt and bright silver gloves, revealing his unusual left hand.
The hand of the woman in white is smooth and white, as is Qi Ying's right hand, with long and delicate fingers, but Qi Ying's left hand is different. His left hand is black, pitch black. Not only his left hand, the blackness spread from his fingers and palm to his wrist, forearm, and disappeared until his elbow.
The black part, from the skin to the muscles and bones underneath, is as hard as steel. No, it is countless times harder than steel. At least Qi Ying has never seen anything that can hurt his left hand and bones since he was a child. The smallest thing on the forearm, not even the treasure weapon used by the Qi warrior, can scratch its flesh.
