Chapter 240 The one in crush
Since the incident in Mangshou Plain three years ago, Xu Ziqing and senior brother Yun Lie have been invited by Xuanze to go to the secret storehouse together, but the secret storehouse will not be opened until five years later, even though it is only five years for a cultivator. Words are nothing, but Xu Ziqing doesn't want to run around anymore, and wants to practice well.
However, the two did not return to the sect.
Originally, all the adventures in the experience belonged to the individual, and logically there was no need to inform the Zongmen, not to mention the earth-shattering event of the birth of the Tianlan Secret Treasure, the Zongmen must have heard about it long ago.
According to the past practice, for such a grand event, the suzerain should call some elders and elites with Nascent Soul and above to form a team to represent the sect to reap benefits.Disciples such as Yun Lie and Xu Ziqing who have not yet obtained real power will not be among them, and naturally they will not receive the summoning order from the suzerain.
That being the case, the two of them followed Tiancheng Wang Xuanze to the palace of the capital of the Dayan Empire. It was a kind of short stay, and they did not regard themselves as diners.
After arriving at the palace, Xuan Ze really entertained him very carefully, and because Xu was defeated by Yun Lie's sword intent, Xi Lin, the sword repairman, respected Yun Lie very much, and even gave up the courtyard where he lived, and handed it over to Yun Lie. Yun Lie moved in.He himself is cultivating hard in a thatched hut next to him, and every few days he comes to discuss swords with Yun Lie, and it is also possible to compete with Yun Lie for a while in the courtyard.
Xu Ziqing saw that his senior brother and Xi Lin were considered compatible, so he practiced in another nearby courtyard with peace of mind. After all, he has wood energy, if he exerts all his strength, it will affect his senior brother to some extent, so it is better to separate them slightly .
After that, there are intermittent retreats.
After the battle in the Mang Beast Plain, Xu Ziqing can be said to have sacrificed Rong Jin's life, and the Qingyun Needle has also undergone some changes, but other than that, he has not had time to digest the battle experience he gained.
Coupled with the upcoming birth of Tianlan's secret treasure, Xu Ziqing felt that time was running out, and he had to put in more effort to practice.
Of course, the results of penance are also good.
After this period of training, Xu Ziqing not only excelled in combat skills, but actually broke through again a year later, from the early stage of Huayuan to the middle stage of Huayuan.
But such rapid progress, instead of making Xu Ziqing happy, made him a little uneasy.
Although his cultivation speed was not slow in the small world where the aura was so scarce, after all, he had just stepped into the way of cultivating immortals at that time. In the early stage, due to the fusion of the purity of the single spiritual root and the aura of Yimu, even if he cultivated faster, he would not be slow. It's strange.However, after arriving in the big world, he broke through the Huayuan period so quickly, and even broke through again soon, which inevitably seemed a bit too fast.
A fast breakthrough in cultivation will bring only one consequence.
The realm is unstable.
Xu Ziqing understood very well that most of this was because of Rong Jin.
Rong Jin is his natal tree, the stronger Rong Jin is, the more Wood Qi is provided to him, the faster his cultivation will increase, but at the same time, the stronger his suppression of Rong Jin must be.
The current situation is that his cultivation base has increased, but his accumulation cannot keep up, and his means are not enough. If he is stimulated by any kind, he will be easily knocked down or even collapsed.
Therefore, for the remaining two years, Xu Ziqing no longer improved his cultivation, even if he absorbed wood energy, he used it to condense his supernatural powers.
After being scrubbed on the battlefield, he seems to have gained more understanding of the refining of Qingyun needle.
Naturally, he set his mind to stabilize the realm, and after a long period of penance, he finally erased the uneasiness caused by entering the realm too quickly.
Before Xu Ziqing retreated for more than ten days, he was refining a kind of magic weapon. That kind of magic weapon was made by him using god tree seeds and some rare spiritual materials. It was originally just an idea, and a prototype was refined. Only when there is an idea, will it be completely sacrificed behind closed doors.
Now that he was done, he naturally left the seclusion, but just as he stepped into his senior's courtyard, he found that his senior brother made that girl Ruyan tremble again, so he couldn't help calling out.
Entering the courtyard, Xu Ziqing was relieved to see Bi Ruyan, and couldn't help laughing secretly.
This situation inevitably reminded him of what happened on Xiaozhu Peak, when the eight junior sisters would tremble with fright every time they saw this elder brother, and once they saw him coming, they would be the same as this elder brother Bi Ruyan performed exactly the same.
Thinking of this, the smile in Xu Ziqing's eyes deepened, and he couldn't help but glance at Bi Ruyan.
I just want to ask: Could it be that Miss Ruyan hasn't fainted yet, is it because the foundation has already been established?
After thinking like this for a while, he shook his head again, no longer being so naughty.
Besides, when Yun Lie saw Xu Ziqing enter the door, he said lightly, "Have you worked out?"
Xu Ziqing nodded and said with a smile: "Yes, senior brother. I have already practiced it."
After all, he was already sitting on the right hand of his senior brother.
At this moment, Bi Ruyan hurriedly saluted Xu Ziqing and said, "I've seen Senior Xu."
Xu Ziqing smiled slightly: "Miss Ruyan, you don't have to be polite."
Such a gentle attitude really makes people feel like a spring breeze and feel very close.Although Yun Lie is the noble guest of the prince, but in Bi Ruyan's view, this handsome young man is often his savior.Let her think to herself: If Master Yun could learn one or two of Senior Xu's attitude, it wouldn't make people so frightened.
Seeing Xu Ziqing coming in, Bi Ruyan withdrew consciously, and only said: "The servant girl will leave first, please wait for Xu Senior, and bring the court food."
Xu Ziqing smiled at her and waved her away.
So there were only two brothers and sisters left in the courtyard.
Yun Lie sat on the ground without moving the spoon.
But when Xu Ziqing saw it, his heart moved slightly, and he said with a smile, "Brother, you don't have to wait for me. If the golden liver and chalcedony cool down, not only will it lose its taste, but the golden energy will also dissipate."
His senior brother's temperament is here, originally he was never in the company of others, but after many years of acquaintance, he is very different from him, which makes Xu Ziqing's affection for his senior brother a bit deeper, and it becomes more and more difficult to let him go.
Yun Lie shook his head slightly when he heard the words, but didn't say much, just stretched out his hand to cover the cup.
Xu Ziqing took a quicker step, pressed the back of his brother's hand, then put the silver spoon into the cup, pushed it towards the brother, and then looked at the brother, with slightly curved lips and sly eyes: "Please, brother first."
Yun Lie is not a hypocritical person, since Xu Ziqing has achieved this level, he did not refuse, so he took a spoon in one hand, scooped up the contents of the cup, and put it into his mouth.Just after using two spoonfuls, he felt a burning gaze beside him, and he paused with his fingers: "Ziqing, why are you looking at me like that?"
Xu Ziqing's smile remained unchanged, he put his jaw on one hand, shook his head and said, "Brother, just keep going, don't bother me."
Yun Lie glanced at him, feeling a little weird in his heart, but he didn't care much, so he continued to eat.
Xu Ziqing raised his eyebrows slightly, feeling very happy. He watched more seriously, not to mention, but also felt a lot of fun in his heart.
He felt that this could be regarded as being affectionate, but his senior brother didn't realize it. He should feel sad, but for some reason, he felt that his senior brother was very cute.He sometimes wondered, if his brother found out about his feelings one day, what kind of expression would he show?
But whenever he was alone with his senior brother, his eyes were always shining and he refused to hide it, but his senior brother couldn't detect it, he was still so serious, like that hard wood that doesn't understand, or ice that can't be melted... I don't know what made him Annoyed or funny.
After thinking for a while, Xu Ziqing sighed inwardly, and his expression became more and more gentle.
... whatever.
If you don't understand it, you won't understand it, if you can't melt it, you can't melt it, even if it is like this, he still thinks that the senior brother is good in everything, so there is nothing to say.Fortunately, senior brother always treated him much better than others, so even if senior brother didn't respond, he never made him sad.
Not long after, Bi Ruyan went back and forth, and this time brought another tray over, which was the morning food for Xu Ziqing.
Xu Ziqing is different from Yun Lie, he is a Huayuan cultivator, unlike Jindan cultivators who can fast food, except for taking Bigu Dan to satisfy their hunger during retreat, the cooks in the palace put all their minds into cooking the best delicacies to share with him Enjoyed.This kind of treatment is no worse than those Jindan disciples who are highly valued by Prince Tiancheng.
Soon a few more golden cups and jade dishes were placed on the table, containing exquisite dishes. If it was vegetables and fruits, it would be full of aura. Even if it was meat, it could be seen that the most delicate and smooth place was chosen. The food is extremely delicate, far better than the top-grade dishes in ordinary restaurants.
Xu Ziqing picked up the silver chopsticks, smiled at Bi Ruyan, "Let me take it here, if you don't have free time, you can go to work yourself, don't entertain me."
When Bi Ruyan heard the words, why didn't she know that she was euphemistically chasing guests away?Immediately said: "The servant girl will come to collect the utensils later, please enjoy the two good students. If there is an order, just ask the boy at the door to do it."
Xu Ziqing nodded with a smile, and Bi Ruyan bowed to leave.
Then Xu Ziqing picked up a chopstick of vegetables, put them in a small bowl, pushed them to the senior brother's hand, and said, "Although the senior brother said that he doesn't need to eat anymore, this dish is quite good. It's not a bad idea to taste it once in a while."
Yun Lie nodded slightly, he had just finished eating the golden liver chalcedony at this time, and took the contents of the bowl again.
When Xu Ziqing saw it, he smiled and asked, "What do you think, brother?"
Yun Lie said: "It's okay."
Xu Ziqing smiled, picked up another dish, and sent it over, and Yun Lie also used it as usual.
So again and again, each time Xu Ziqing asked "How is it", Yun Lie also replied "Fair", Xu Ziqing picked up all kinds of dishes, and Yun Lie tasted them all.
Then Xu Ziqing felt more at ease, so he raised his chopsticks to eat by himself.Speaking of him retreating for a long time, he has not filled his stomach with food for many times, even if he does not feel hungry, it is still a little short after all, now there are exquisite dishes in front of him, so he can eat to his heart's content.
While eating, the smile on Xu Ziqing's lips remained unchanged.
He has always been able to calmly face his admiration for his senior brother, so no matter when, he can't help but want to show his hospitality.And even though the senior brother had no affection for him, he unintentionally gave him many responses.
There are many people who secretly admire others in this world, but I am afraid that few of them can be as lucky as him. How can he not be very happy about this?
After finishing the meal, Xu Ziqing put down his chopsticks and called for someone to come in to clean up.
However, there was another person who came in with the clean-up person.
