Chapter 357
After Ji Ruochu left, Luo Qingli walked directly to the mountain gate, took out the identity jade token, and then hit a finger on a boulder, and the invisible barrier in front of the mountain gate opened.

More than ten years have passed, and the disciples guarding the gate of the Jade Toad Sect have changed again. They are all new faces that she does not recognize, but all of them are full of energy and high-spirited.

Seeing that the person coming was a Jindan elder, the gatekeeper disciple quickly stood up straight, gathered his lapels and saluted, "I've met my uncle."

Luo Qingli smiled slightly, nodded to a few people, and strode towards the director's hall.

It wasn't until the people were far away that the several gatekeeper disciples came back to their senses, looked at each other, and asked in confusion: "Which peak is this uncle from? How come I haven't seen him before? And he looks so young..."

"Most of the female cultivators take the Ding-Yan Pill. How can you tell from their appearance? But I always feel like I've seen it somewhere before?"

Everyone thought about it carefully, and then another gatekeeper patted his thigh as if he suddenly understood, "It's Senior Uncle Gui Lan from Piaomiao Peak! I've seen her elixir formation ceremony from a distance, she must be right!"

The rest of the people were slightly startled, but after what he said, they all responded.

It is not an exaggeration to say that Luo Guilan's name is resounding throughout the Jade Chan Sect. Putting aside everything else, the achievement of forming a golden elixir at the age of 51 is beyond the reach of everyone in the world.

What does it mean to look young? They are really young!Master Guilan is only 70 years old at all costs, even younger than many of their foundation-building monks!

It’s just that Uncle Master went down the mountain within a few years after forming the elixir, and he never returned to the Jade Toad Sect for more than ten years. Most of the low-level monks in the sect only knew that there was such a number one person on Piaomiao Peak, and they couldn’t identify him. I couldn't recognize her at first.

The gatekeeper disciple suddenly regretted not taking a few more glances just now.

Luo Qingli went to the Director's Hall to make the handover as usual. More than ten years were nothing to a high-level monk. The Director's Hall looked the same as it was more than ten years ago, and Tang Laosan still insisted on the original position.

After registering, Tang Laosan took out many storage bags and a box of letters, smiled and joked: "Where have you been, Master Guilan, these years? If you don't come back, the Director's Office will hardly be able to put these things away." ”

Luo Qingli and Tang Laosan were already old acquaintances, and he replied with a smile: "I took a trip to the East China Sea. The journey is long and the opportunity is rare, so I might as well stay a few more years."

Tang Laosan was stunned when he heard this, and couldn't help but feel a bit of envy in his heart.

The East China Sea is too far away from Nanzhao, and there are too many changes at sea, so only high-level monks above the Golden Core stage can just leave. But foundation-building monks like them will inevitably have more worries.

Luo Qingli collected all the things stored in the Director's Hall and was about to go directly to Piaomiao Peak to meet Song Jinghong when he met a male cultivator with a purple sun crown on his head. He was also at the early stage of Jindan and was dressed in ink. The robe was embroidered with delicate patterns using gold threads, which looked quite gorgeous, and the face was no less charming and bright, attracting all sentient beings.

She didn't say that she knew every one of the Jindan elders of the Jade Toad Sect, but she knew most of them. If there really was someone who looked like this, it would make no sense that she wouldn't have any impression of them.

Maybe he is a good friend of a certain Jindan elder in the sect and comes to the Jade Toad Sect as a guest?

Luo Qingli nodded to him politely. When the man saw her, he was obviously stunned for a moment and said, "Luo Guilan? Are you finally willing to come back?"

When Tang Laosan saw the person coming, he already said a salute from a distance: "Uncle Tongqu."

Luo Qingli paused slightly. She was actually very familiar with this voice.

"Are you...Xue Ce?"

Luo Qingli was surprised. In her impression, Xue Ce had an ordinary face and didn't look like that at all.

She stared at him carefully for a moment, and finally saw some familiarity in those peach blossom eyes, "You, why do you look like this?"

Xue Ce's originally bright face suddenly darkened, "Why do I look like this? I've always looked like this!" He folded his arms and hummed: "It's just that this look is too ostentatious. My master was like this when I was a child." Before taking me to the Jade Toad Sect, I asked him to help me seal it temporarily."

Luo Qingli was speechless. To be honest, at first glance, she really wasn't used to Xue Ce's behavior.

There are always many handsome men and beauties in the world of cultivation. Xue Ce's face looks more like a goblin than any goblin she has ever seen. As he said, he is very ostentatious and can become the center of attention wherever he goes, but at least he doesn't look feminine. At most, it's...well, a little more feminine.

I used to think that Xue Ce's peach blossom eyes were the only highlight of his face, but now it seems that they complement each other.

Of course, what she didn't know was that since Xue Ce regained his original appearance, the most popular male cultivator in the sect had completely changed from Xiao Chezhi to Xue Ce.

Xue Ce was now able to deal with it calmly. He glanced at her and said, "You have been away for more than ten years. You are very carefree, right?"

"It's not bad." Luo Qingli smiled slightly, "I haven't congratulated you yet, you successfully formed the elixir."

Xue Ce coughed lightly and said, "I successfully formed the elixir almost 13 years ago. The name given by my master is the thoroughfare."

Luo Qingli did the math and found that 13 years ago, Xue Ce was about 62 years old. To form an elixir at this age was definitely a rare genius in thousands of years.

But with Luo Qingli's astonishing record of forming a pill at the age of 51 in front of him, his achievements don't seem so conspicuous.Xue Ce thought to himself that luckily he had thought about it a long time ago. If he really got serious with her, he would be angry to death sooner or later.

Just like now, the practice of the golden elixir stage is obviously much slower. After more than ten years, he is still almost in the same place, and some people are about to reach the perfection of the early golden elixir stage. In a few years, others will It might even reach the middle stage of Golden Elixir.

Xue Ce twitched the corner of his mouth indifferently, and then heard Luo Qingli call him "Junior Brother Tongqu". He rolled his eyes, but said "Senior Sister Guilan" in a decent manner.

Twenty years ago, he would probably not be able to call her senior sister. Now that he has thrown away the baggage of his youth and his childish self-righteousness, he will find that many things are just like that, and the so-called senior sister is just a Just a title.

Luo Qingli couldn't help but sigh at the charm of time. It was like the Xue Ce who said with a straight face and a tough mouth that he didn't expect him to call her senior sister was still there yesterday, but in the blink of an eye, he overlapped with the Xue Tongqu in front of him.

"It seems that I have not been here for more than ten years, and many things have changed in the door."

"Of course, you can't just stand still, right?" Xue Ce raised his eyes and looked at her, "Time passes without leaving a trace, and all of us are being pushed forward."

He actually wanted to talk to Luo Qingli about what happened in the past few years, but the situation was not convenient at the moment. He thought for a while and said: "You have just come back now. Go see Master Jinghong first. She always told Master to raise this It’s like having no apprentice at all. You won’t be able to see him for several years, so you might as well raise a rabbit for fun.”

The corner of Luo Qingli's mouth twitched, and he shook his head helplessly, "I'll look for you later when I'm free."

Xue Ce nodded and agreed, "Okay, I'll be with you anytime."

Luo Qingli looked at him a few more times and sighed again in his heart.

Not only that face, Xue Ce now looks like a completely different person compared to before.

No longer caring about these, Luo Qingli went straight to Piaomiao Peak.

Nothing on the main peak has changed much. When flying over Chuixue Valley, you can still see several disciples tending flowers and plants in the outer valley medicine field, and fine ice floes floating on the cold pool in the inner valley.

Her cave had long been moved to Lingwu Peak, but compared to that, she had to stay in Chuixue Valley longer.

Xiaowu also felt nostalgic, "It hasn't changed at all!"

After a quick glance, Luo Qingli arrived in front of the Qinxue Palace.

The door of Qinxue Palace was always open for her. Luo Qingli walked in briskly, and Song Jinghong seemed to have known she was back. He was already waiting in the lobby, drinking tea calmly.

Luo Qingli stood ready, ready to catch the teacup she threw at her, but who knew that this time the master didn't play by the rules at all.

Song Jinghong smiled when he saw her posture, "Why, you still want to bully your master and destroy your ancestors?"

Luo Qingli was stunned for a moment, "How could that be possible?" She walked forward with a smile, knelt down to greet him in a polite manner, "Master, my disciple has not returned for more than ten years, which makes Master worried."

"I'm going to argue with you, I still want to live a few more years as a teacher!" Song Jinghong hummed, "Okay, don't deal with these frivolous things."

She waved her sleeves and lifted Luo Qingli up with a force.

Song Jinghong looked at his young apprentice carefully.

The Headmaster had been instructed by her to inform him as soon as possible if Gui Lan came back.

Luo Qingli had been traveling for so many years, but Song Jinghong really didn't think it was a big deal.

The young apprentice has already made elixirs. She is no longer the low-level monk she used to be. She has already had her own ideas and has her own sense of proportion in how she behaves and deals with things. She really does not need to care about everything. The best way is to let it go. She goes to grow.

The only regret is that her apprentice's growth process seems to be too short...

In the past ten years, she was only really worried when the mark she put on Luo Qingli's storage bracelet faded. However, she had seen Luo Qingli's soul lamp and it recovered after a short period of flickering. Normally, Song Jinghong didn't care. He occasionally told Junior Brother Fuji that his apprentice couldn't see anyone, which was just for leisure.

Now the little apprentice is standing in front of him, completely intact, with not a hair missing, and his cultivation has improved a lot. He nodded secretly in his heart, feeling even more satisfied.

Song Jinghong asked her to talk about her experiences over the years, and Luo Qingli sat directly opposite her, planning to start by going down the mountain to the Far North Glacier to find the Palace of Medicine King.

Luo Qingli had confessed to Song Jinghong a long time ago about meeting the Medicine King's spiritual consciousness in the secret place of the Miasma Forest. Now that it was revealed, she didn't have much scruples. By the way, she also told Song Jinghong what she had said when she returned to Nanzhao and passed by the Medicine King City. I mentioned everything I saw and heard, including the matter of the Elders Council and the repair of the trial tower.

Song Jinghong nodded and said: "I have heard about the situation in Yaowang City. Although I haven't had much contact with Pingyang as my teacher, I heard that the reputation is not bad. You can be regarded as the inheritor of Yaowang. If you can help, please help." Bar."
