Keqing, it’s just cultivating immortality, is it that difficult?

……

"Master...Fairy, what should we do next..."

Keqing looked in the direction of the voice and saw Yu Qiu squatting beside Shao Yuan, who was in a dishevel and unconscious, like a corpse. He held his cheek with his right hand and poked him with a branch in his left hand, his face bruised and swollen, looking bored.

Seeing his branch wrapped in spiritual energy poking several large blisters on the opponent, and the thorny branch entangled a bunch of hair. As she pulled it, there was a sizzling sound, and a large piece of hair was pulled out, revealing a bald area. Keqing couldn't help but twitch her lips.

Fellow Daoist Yu is not polite at all. This young master was very attentive to him before.

Bought so many things...

However, as Fellow Daoist Yu said, the other party's motives were impure and he was plotting to take over his physique, so there was nothing pitiful about him.

"Senior...what do you think?"

Keqing glanced at the strange young man next to them who was looking at them, this guy named Xun Min, and then threw the question to Senior Jingming.

"Well... if that's the case, then why not... search his soul directly..."

Jingming touched his chin.

Since there is no more fun, let's see what's going on...

Who on earth is doing this evil thing to harm people and actually put his hands on his own apprentice!

Master Jingming said indignantly, and glanced at Keqing.

Keqing: Well, you pretended as if it were real. I don't know who is the one who is willing to watch the fun.

"Well... let's search his soul. You don't care about the person behind him, right? You won't say you're worried about getting in trouble this time..."

"Hey, my friend, what you said makes it sound like I'm afraid of the person behind you. Let alone other things, even if he's the person in charge of Dan City, what does it matter? Am I afraid?"

Jingming snorted lightly, then waved his hand, and the unconscious body was instantly picked up in his hand. He grabbed the messy hair with his fingers and searched for the soul in an instant.

No one around had any objection.

"what?"

However, Jingming just let out a light exclamation.

"What's wrong? Senior."

"There is a ban... It seems that the relevant memories cannot be read."

Jingming sighed.

"I thought he was just a small fry, or a young master, but I didn't expect there would be restrictions in this sea of ​​consciousness."

"I don't know whether to be cautious or not care."

Speaking of being cautious, since the restrictions have been placed on the sea of ​​consciousness, there is no need to worry about soul searching. Speaking of being careless and inattentive, the various procedures seem so "open and aboveboard" without any cover-up.

But after thinking about it, the so-called carelessness is not actually that careless. It is just because they have a comprehensive perspective, which allows them to see the overall situation and know the other party's plan.

If an ordinary outsider disappeared like this, who would know about it?

Just when Jingming was thinking about other ways, Xun Min beside him suddenly spoke.

"Um, seniors...I might know where their lair is?"

"Oh?"

Seeing their gazes cast over him, Xun Min coughed quickly and said with a little pride.

"I was entrusted by the missing relatives to conduct a thorough investigation, and it was not without results."

"Some of the missing people actually left behind some signs and methods, and I specifically checked the area nearby and found a special place in the southeast of Huishan Mountain Range."

"special?"

"Yes, everyone knows that the spiritual energy in the Desolate State is poor. It is full of wild power and mixed spiritual energy. Only inside the city can you find relatively pure spiritual energy. Although the spiritual energy in the place I found is not very strong, it is extremely rare that the spiritual energy does not seem to be mixed. It is even somewhat pure."

"As you know, formations require stable power. So even though it's only a small amount of pure spiritual energy, it's a little strange that it suddenly appears in this deserted Huishan. So I guess there must be something wrong. This should be the residual power left after using the formation. After all, only spirit stones can have such power."

"Afterwards, I discovered that there were indeed some special people coming in and out of that area."

Xun Min pretended to be modest and put forward his own discovery.

As expected, Jingming praised him.

"You are quite smart, young man. Aren't you afraid? If the mastermind behind this is very powerful."

"Since I have been entrusted by them, I must be loyal to them. I cannot give up halfway. If there is any problem, I can speak up and mobilize all the monks! I believe it will be solved."

In fact, he has a master with a remnant soul, so he is not afraid at all.

"Hey, young people think too simply. Since you can appear in Dan City, how do you know that the people in Dan City are not involved? Don't tell anyone. You will be silenced soon after you reveal it."

"However, although you are young, your heart is really good."

As expected, he received praise from the other party. Xun Min looked a little shy, but was proud in his heart.

It seems that this senior doesn't like people who are too ostentatious.

Yu Qiu on the side felt something strange. Looking at his master and then at this cultivator named Xun, whom he disliked, he always felt that something was wrong with the atmosphere.

He came to Keqing's side, pulled her sleeve, and whispered.

"Fairy Keqing, has my master encountered any problems?"

"Hmm? How do you say that?"

Yu Qiu glanced at his master, then leaned over and pointed at the two of them.

"Look at my master's expression. Even I know that he is not someone who likes to accept disciples. Don't think I didn't hear him. He wanted to accept a disciple just now. If Fairy Keqing hadn't interrupted him, the old guy would have spoken long ago."

"Look at the interaction between them and the admiring looks in their eyes. It's just a test of the teacher. This is too weird!"

Yu Qiu was not a fool. He could see the inconsistency at a glance. After all, he had been dealing with the old guy for such a long time that he could sense any strange changes.

You know, the other party had often said that he would accept him as his apprentice.

Brother, owing his mother a favor was the worst decision he had ever made in his life.

God knows how much he hates taking in apprentices.

Yu Qiu could also sense this. At the beginning, the old guy said how much he disliked him and did not hide anything at all.

It was only later, after he and the other person had been together for a long time, eating, drinking and having fun together, that they developed a deep friendship, ahem, a friendship based on eating, drinking and having fun, that their relationship became much better.

During this period, the other party also said that he would never accept disciples again. It was really troublesome to accept disciples. It was a waste of time, energy, and life.

But now, the other party’s situation is very bad.

"Don't you think this is weird? This is too weird."

Yu Qiu muttered to himself, looking carefully at the cultivator named Xun.

This guy is just average looking, a little greasy, and his cultivation is... just so-so.

Okay, he admitted that the other party’s cultivation was higher than his, and his strength seemed to be a little stronger than his.

But so what? Fairy Keqing is more powerful than him but she isn't as pretentious as him.

Listen to what he said...

"I accidentally found this technique and started practicing it"

"I just practiced swordsmanship casually."

"I am a junior with a low level of understanding, please forgive me for my compliments, senior."

It looks like he's being modest, but isn't that just showing off!?

Don't think he didn't see the smugness on the other person's face.

"Humph, there's nothing good about putting a green onion in a pig's nose and pretending to be an elephant."

Hearing Yu Qiu's jealous voice, Keqing chuckled.

"Fairy! This guy must have some hidden agenda, otherwise how could he show up at such a perfect time and hide it from my master's discerning eyes!"

Yu Qiu rolled his eyes and looked at Keqing aggrievedly, pulling her sleeve with his little hand.

"Please lend a helping hand... Think about my master's predicament, how pathetic it is!"

"Can you bear to let him have such an apprentice with ulterior motives?"

"You should know that my master hates disturbances and fears troubles the most. How could he take the initiative to accept a disciple?"

Keqing restrained her smile and turned around to look at the coquettish Yu Qiu.

He rolled up his sleeves calmly.

What was a grown man pulling? Fortunately, Sister Yuehu didn’t see this.

"Hmm? Are you really doing this out of sympathy for him to have an extra apprentice?"

Keqing looked at him with a teasing look.

"Aren't you worried about having another junior fellow apprentice? And then snatching your favor and having someone else's child?"

Who is Yu Qiu! ?

Will he admit it? Of course not, but he will be shameless!

So, he carefully extended his fingertips, his eyes filled with disbelief and subtle grievance. His eyes were slightly red, like a deer in the rain, weak and moving, and he gently held Keqing's clothes.

"Fairy Keqing, how can you look at me like this, wuwu..."

He protested softly with tears in his eyes.

Keqing was speechless watching him act like a spoiled child.

Although he is a man, he perfectly portrays the girlish manners, cuteness and pretense.

I don’t know whether I should admire his talent or enjoy it.

“Okay, okay, I’ll help you…” Keqing sighed helplessly.

"really?"

Yu Qiu's eyes sparkled with anticipation.

"Don't you believe me?"

Keqing asked back.

"I believe it, of course I believe it!"

Yu Qiu answered eagerly.

"Fairy Keqing, once you take action, everything will go well. It will be a success with great vigor and determination..."

"That's enough... stop talking..."

Keqing quickly stopped his compliments.

Her eyes signaled him to keep quiet, and Yu Qiu immediately shut his mouth.

The eyes looking at Keqing are full of expectation. She must succeed...

Keqing felt helpless as she felt the scorching gaze behind her that seemed to burn her back.

She walked forward and came to their side unnoticed. At this time, Master Jingming was testing Xun Min bit by bit. The appreciation and satisfaction in his eyes could be seen clearly by even a fool.

Isn't this really a crime?

Weren't we discussing the other party's lair just now? Why did we change the subject for no reason? Senior, do you really remember what we are here for?

"I didn't expect you to be able to make talismans. You are truly a young person to be feared."

"I have only barely practiced some sixth-grade talismans. Senior Liao praised me, but I still need to learn more."

Seeing that the two were talking happily, Keqing suddenly interrupted.

"Sixth-grade talisman? Didn't Fellow Daoist Yu say that talismans are very difficult? He can't even practice a second-grade one..."

"Hey!! Don't mention that brat! He relies on his talent but doesn't study hard. It's really infuriating!"

Jingming, who was standing by, was so angry when he heard this that he said, "Don't even mention that brat."

As he said this, he waited on the side and looked at Yu Qiu eagerly.

Yu Qiu: ???

"Really? I think Fellow Daoist Yu is a relief. His talent is pretty good."
