Since the incident on the Mang Beast Plain three years ago, Xu Ziqing and his brother Yun Xuan were invited by Xuan Zexiang to go to the secret store, but the secret store will not be opened until five years later. It's not a big deal, but Xu Ziqing doesn't want to run around anymore, she wants to practice well.
However, the two did not return to the sect.
Originally, the adventures gained in the experience belonged to the individual, and it was logical that there was no need to notify the sect, not to mention the earth-shattering event of the Tianlan Secret Store, the sect must have had news long ago.
Following the usual practice in the past, for such a grand event, the suzerain should gather some elders and elites with the cultivation base of Yuan Ying and above to form a team to represent the sect to reap the benefits. The disciples who have not yet gained real power, such as Yun Yu and Xu Ziqing, will not be among them, and naturally they will not receive the summoning order from the suzerain.
Since this is the case, the two of them followed Tiancheng Wang Xuanze to the palace of the capital of the Dayan Empire together.
After arriving at the palace, Xuanze really gave a very meticulous hospitality, and Xu was defeated by Yun Xun's sword intent, and Jian Xiu Xilin respected Yun Xun even more. He actually gave up the courtyard where he lived and gave it to him. Yun Yu stayed in. He himself was cultivating hard in a hut next to him, and every few days he came to discuss swords with Yunxun, and it was also possible for him to compete with sword intent in the courtyard.
Xu Ziqing saw that Brother Xi and Xi Lin were close together, so he was at ease to practice in another nearby courtyard. After all, he has a wood-like body. If he tries his best, it will have an impact on the brother. It's better to be separated a little. .
After that is the intermittent retreat.
After the battle in the Mang Beast Plain, Xu Ziqing could be said to have practiced Rong Jin's good life, and Qingyun Needle has changed a little, but other than that, some of the combat experience he has gained has not had time to digest.
Coupled with the upcoming birth of the Tianlan Secret Store, Xu Ziqing felt that time was urgent and could not help but practice more vigorously.
Of course, the results of penance are also good.
After this period of training, Xu Ziqing was not only better in fighting skills, but he broke through again a year later, from the early stage of the Huayuan cultivation to the middle of the Huayuan.
But such rapid progress, instead of making Xu Ziqing happy, it made him a little uneasy.
Although his cultivation speed was not slow in the lack of spiritual energy in the small world, after all, he had just stepped into the way of cultivating immortals. In the early stage, due to the fusion of the purity of the single spiritual root and the qi of Yimu, even if the cultivation was faster Strange. However, after arriving in the Great World, he broke through the Huayuan stage so quickly, and even broke through again soon, inevitably, it seemed a bit too fast.
If the cultivation base breaks through quickly, it will bring only one consequence.
The realm is unstable.
Xu Ziqing understands that a large part of this is because of Rong Jin.
Rong Jin is the tree of his life. The stronger Rong Jin is and the more Wood Qi provided to him, the faster his cultivation base will increase, but at the same time, the stronger his suppression of Rong Jin will be.
The current situation is that his cultivation level has risen, but he cannot keep up with the accumulation, and the methods are not enough. If he is stimulated, he will easily be knocked down, or even collapsed.
Therefore, in the remaining two years, Xu Ziqing no longer improved his own cultivation level, even if he absorbed the wood energy, he would all use it to condense his supernatural powers.
After scrubbing the battlefield, he seemed to have more insight into the refinement of Qingyun Needle.
Naturally, he wanted to stabilize the realm, and after a long period of hard cultivation, he finally erased the uneasy feeling caused by the rapid advancement.
Before Xu Ziqing was in retreat for more than ten days, he was sacrificing a kind of magic weapon. That kind of magic weapon was made by him using sacred wood seeds and some rare spiritual materials. It was originally just an idea and refined a prototype. A few days ago, something suddenly appeared. Thoughts will be completely sacrificed behind closed doors.
Now that he was done, he went out naturally. Unexpectedly, just stepping into the brother's yard, he found that the brother made the girl Ruyan tremble again, and couldn't help but utter a cry.
After entering the courtyard, Xu Ziqing breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Na Bi Ruyan, secretly funny.
This situation inevitably reminded him of what he had done on Xiaozhu Peak. At that time, it was also the case of eight seniors. Whenever they saw this senior brother, they would tremble with fear, and once they saw him, they would be the same again. Bi Ruyan behaved exactly like this.
Thinking of this, Xu Ziqing smiled deeper and couldn't help but glance at Bi Ruyan.
I just thought: Could it be that Girl Ruyan has not fainted yet, is it because she has already built her foundation
After thinking about it for a while, he shook his head again, not laughing so stubbornly anymore.
Besides, Yun Yu saw Xu Ziqing entering the door, and said lightly: "Is it out?"
Xu Ziqing nodded and said with a smile: "Yes, brother. I have done it."
After all, he was already sitting on his brother's right hand.
Bi Ruyan also hurriedly saluted Xu Ziqing at this time and said, "I have seen Senior Xu."
Xu Ziqing smiled slightly: "Girl Ruyan doesn't have to be polite."
Such a gentle attitude really makes people feel very close. Although Yun Li is the prince and distinguished guest, Yu Biruyan's view is that this Junya son is always his savior. Ask her to think in her heart: If Yun Zhenren could learn the attitude of Senior Xu, it wouldn't make people so scared.
Seeing Xu Ziqing coming in, Bi Ruyan withdrew very consciously, and only said: "The maidservant will leave first. Please wait for the predecessor Xu to stay and bring the food."
Xu Ziqing smiled at her and waved her to retreat.
So there were only two brothers left in the courtyard.
Yun Yu sat on the ground without moving the spoon.
When Xu Ziqing saw it, her heart moved slightly, and she smiled and said, "Senior brother, don't have to wait for me. If this golden liver and chalcedony cools down, it will not only lose its taste, but even the golden energy will also dissipate."
The disposition of his brother is placed here. He had never been with others, but after years of friendship, he was very different to him, which made Xu Ziqing a little bit more affectionate for his brother, and it became more and more difficult to part with him.
Hearing the words, Yun Yan shook his head slightly, but didn't say much, only stretched out his hand to cover the cup.
Xu Ziqing took a step faster, pressed the back of the senior's hand, then put the silver spoon into the cup, pushed it towards the senior, and then looked at the senior, with slightly curved lips and cunning eyes: "Brother please stop first."
Yun Yu is not a hypocritical person. Since Xu Ziqing has already achieved such a point, he did not refuse, so he took a spoon in one hand, scooped up the thing in the cup, and put it in his mouth. Just after using two spoons, he felt a burning gaze next to him, and his fingers suddenly paused: "Ziqing, why do you look at me like this?"
Xu Ziqing smiled unchanged, supported his jaw with one hand, shook his head and said, "Brother, just continue, don't care about me."
Yun Yu glanced at him, feeling a little weird in his heart, but didn't care much, so he continued to eat.
Xu Ziqing raised her eyebrows slightly, and felt very happy.
He consciously felt that this was affectionate, but if the brother didn't realize it, he should have been sad and unbearable. For some reason, he thought that the brother was very cute. He sometimes wondered, if one day the brother discovered his affection, what kind of look would he show
But whenever he was alone with his senior brother, he never had his eyes burnt and refused to cover up, but the senior brother was always unable to notice. He was still so serious, like that unopened hard wood, indestructible icy lumps... I really don’t know it’s good for him. Annoyed is still funny.
After thinking for a while, Xu Ziqing sighed inwardly, and his expression became more gentle.
... Not to mention.
If you don't get awakened, you won't get awakened, and if you can't get rid of it, you can't get rid of it. Fortunately, the brother treated him much better than others, so even if the brother did not respond, he never made him sad.
Not long after, Bi Ruyan went and returned. This time, he brought a tray and brought it to Xu Ziqing's morning meal.
Xu Ziqing is different from Yun Yu. He is a Huayuan monk. Unlike Jindan monks, he can fastidiously. Except for taking bigu during retreat to satisfy his hunger, the other chefs in the palace are full of thoughts and make good delicacies with him. Enjoy. This kind of treatment is no worse than those Jindanmen who are highly regarded by the Tiancheng prince.
Soon there were a few golden bowls and jade dishes on the table, filled with delicate dishes, if it is fruits and vegetables, it will be full of spirits, even if it is meat, it can be seen that the most delicate and smooth places have been selected. The delicacy is extremely delicate, far better than the top dishes in the general restaurant.
Xu Ziqing picked up the silver chopsticks and smiled at Bi Ruyan: "I can use it by myself here. If the girl has no spare time, she can go busy by herself and don't have to entertain me."
Hearing this, Bi Ruyan didn't know where he meant to be euphemistic? Immediately he said: "The maidservant will come back to collect the utensils later, please two good students to enjoy it. If there is an order, just ask the boy at the door to do it."
Xu Ziqing smiled and nodded before Bi Ruyan bowed and retired.
Then Xu Ziqing picked up a chopstick of vegetables, placed it in a small bowl, and pushed it to the brother's hand, and said, "Although the brother doesn't need to eat, the dishes are quite good. It's okay to taste it occasionally."
Yun Li nodded slightly. He just finished eating the golden liver and chalcedony, and then took the contents of the bowl again.
When Xu Ziqing saw it, he smiled and asked, "What do you think of the brother?"
Yun Li said: "It's acceptable."
Xu Ziqing smiled, took another dish, and delivered it to Yun Li as usual.
Repeatedly like this, Xu Ziqing asked "how" every time, and Yun Xun also replied "okay". Xu Ziqing picked up all the dishes, and Yun Xun had tasted them all.
After that, Xu Ziqing felt more comfortable before he lifted the chopsticks to eat by herself. It is said that he has been in retreat for a long time, and many times he has not filled his belly with anything full. Even if he does not feel hungry, he is still a little bit worse. Now there are exquisite dishes in front of him, and he is feasting on himself.
While eating, Xu Ziqing's smile remained the same.
He has always been able to calmly face his love for his seniors, so no matter when, he can't help but want to make a dedication. And even though the senior brother was unsympathetic to him, he still gave him many responses unconsciously.
There are many people in this world who secretly adore others, but I am afraid that few can be as lucky as him. How can this make him not extremely happy
When he ran out of food, Xu Ziqing set aside his chopsticks and called for people to come in and clean up.
But there was another person who came in with the packer.
