Chapter 123 During the Retreat
Wei Yunting, Zong Han, and Zong Jin all bowed to Yun Xi and said:

"Thank you, Sister Yunxi, for taking care of us. We are very grateful."

Yun Xi smiled and said:

"We all come from the Wei family, so naturally we should support each other and advance and retreat together."

Zong Hao did not interrupt. He did not have Yun Xi's strength yet and did not dare to make any promises easily.

However, I believe that the two of them came here wearing the inner sect disciples' robes to support their brothers and sisters. At least the outer sect disciples will not easily embarrass the Wei family disciples.

The three of them understood their intentions, so when they explained that they were going to go into seclusion for a short period of time, Yun Ting smiled and took the lead in escorting them away from the outer gate's hill.

Many outer disciples saw the five of them along the way. While they were envious, they also knew that another disciple of the Wei family had been directly promoted to the inner sect. Most of them decided to make friends with the Wei family disciples.

After taking care of all these trivial matters, the two of them hung up a sign indicating they were in seclusion and began to consolidate their cultivation.

Sheng Yuhong learned from Song Ke that Yun Xi had replaced his identity jade token with that of an inner sect disciple, so he planned to meet Yun Xi and then introduce him to his master. Unfortunately, he was one step too late. When he went to find Yun Xi's new residence, Yun Xi had gone to the outer sect.

Sheng Yuhong could only leave a communication talisman at Yun Xi's residence. Unfortunately, when Yun Xi learned that Sheng Yuhong had invited her to meet, alarm bells immediately rang in her mind. She didn't want to have anything to do with the male protagonist.

According to her previous experience of reading novels, the male protagonist belongs to the female protagonist, and the second male protagonist belongs to the reader. She, the female supporting role, is usually a catalyst that promotes the deepening of the relationship between the male and female protagonists. She only adds bricks and tiles to the relationship between the male and female protagonists when she has nothing to do.

So she chose to ignore it, hung up the sign of retreat, and slipped into the yard. In order to prevent Sheng Yuhong from forcing her way through, she took out the newly acquired fourth-level formation plate, inserted nine medium-grade spirit stones, opened the defense formation, and then began to sit cross-legged to practice.

Yun Xi’s worries were not unreasonable. Not long after Yun Xi went into seclusion, Sheng Yuhong arrived.

Looking at the sign of "reclusion" hanging at the door, Sheng Yuhong frowned. After thinking it over again and again, he raised his hand to knock on the door. The restriction shook for a while but there was no response.

This made Sheng Yuhong feel anxious for a moment. He pressed the trigger twice, but there was still no response from the yard. In the end, he could only return home in disappointment.

True Lord Yu Geng noticed that his eldest disciple had been a little absent-minded these past two days. After asking, he learned that the female disciple that Sheng Yuhong wanted to introduce was in seclusion.

"It's okay. She's just in seclusion, not leaving the sect. We'll meet again someday. If you can't see her now, it's just not our destiny yet. Why rush her?"

Master Yu Geng has a very peaceful mentality, and accepting disciples depends on fate.

"Master is right, it was the disciple who was too anxious."

Sheng Yuhong immediately adjusted his mindset and stopped focusing too much attention on Wei Yunxi who was in seclusion.

On the other side, Wei Yunqing locked himself in the room after returning to Danfeng. He had a big tantrum and smashed everything that could be smashed in the room before he calmed down.

Wei Yunqing felt that things shouldn't have developed this way. She had a hunch that Wei Yunxi was just her stepping stone, not better than her in every way. In addition to the illusion she saw when she was undergoing the test of her state of mind, there was also a voice in her heart telling her so.

"Hmph! Don't think that everything will be fine once you enter the inner sect. Without a master, you are just an ordinary disciple."

Wei Yunqing muttered to himself.

Then she adjusted her expression, opened the isolation array in the room, and went to see the foundation-building grass she had been tending to. It was about to mature. Wei Yunqing slowly injected wood spiritual power into the foundation-building grass. When the spiritual power was exhausted, she sat on the ground to meditate and recover. When she opened her eyes, she saw Ye Shaotian.

"Brother Ye, you're here?"

Wei Yunqing greeted warmly.

"Junior Sister Yunqing, it seems that you have taken good care of this foundation-building grass."

Ye Shaotian said with a smile on his face.

"Yes, it's about to mature."

"Okay, our foundation-building pill will be ready soon."

Ye Shaotian was also in a good mood. He had been waiting for the foundation-building pill to build his foundation, so that he could directly enter the inner sect Danfeng. He believed that his path of cultivation would be smoother in the future.

Wei Yunqing had the same idea. If she wanted to enter the inner sect, she couldn't be worse than Wei Yunxi, otherwise how could she step on the other party in the future.

After Yun Xi went into seclusion, she began to repeat her previous practice. She advanced to higher levels one after another. Because she had planted the heart of Tao, her state of mind was stable. She did not spend too much time consolidating her cultivation, but spent more time on practicing the techniques. She wanted to match her strength with her cultivation.

Of course, she was not completely secluded. Occasionally, when she got tired of practicing, she would come out for a walk, take a look at the sound transmission talisman posted on the restriction, and sometimes check the communication jade slips, so as not to completely lose contact with the outside world.

Just three months after Wei Yunxi went into seclusion, Zhen Tongshuang successfully broke through to the foundation-building stage and became an inner sect disciple. Two months later, Long Daoyu also advanced to the foundation-building stage and moved into the inner peak.

A year and a half later, Wei Yunting and the others gathered enough spiritual plants to refine three foundation-building pills, and sent a communication talisman to Yun Xi.

Yun Xi was a man who kept his promises. On the night he received the communication talisman, he went to the Outer Three Peaks and refined a furnace of foundation-building pills for the Wei family disciples. He made nine pills, three of which were top-grade, three of which were mid-grade, and three of which were low-grade.

Yun Xi handed the top-grade and mid-grade pills to Wei Yunting and asked them to distribute them as they pleased. Then she leisurely returned to the inner peak.

The five people of the Wei family were delighted. This extra Foundation Establishment Pill could be sold to the sect, and the spirit stones obtained could be used to purchase other cultivation resources. The five people quickly reached an agreement and divided a Foundation Establishment Pill according to the number of spirit plants they found. Then they sold the last pill and divided the spirit stones obtained equally among the five people.

Of course, Wei Yunqing was excluded from these matters, because she did not participate in the refining of the spiritual plants for the foundation-building pill. However, they heard that Wei Yunqing got a foundation-building pill for herself through Ye Shaotian from the outer sect Danfeng, so they didn't need to worry about it at all.

Wei Zonghao came out of seclusion after two years, then participated in the Danfeng assessment and became the alchemy boy of Danfeng Elder Lu Danyang. He began to learn alchemy and lived a fulfilling life every day.

In the third year of seclusion, Sheng Yuhong went to the Inner Five Peaks again, but still did not see Wei Yunxi. He could only leave another communication talisman and turn away.

Sheng Yuhong's whereabouts have attracted much attention. He has come to the Inner Five Peaks again and again to look for Wei Yunxi, which has made some inner disciples smell something different and they are also secretly paying attention to Yunxi's movements.

After hearing about this, Long Daoyu felt very complicated. The person he admired actually paid attention to Wei Yunxi. He began to recall what was different about the other party in their limited contact that could attract the attention of the sect's eldest brother.

Wei Yunqing was also unhappy because she had used the Foundation Establishment Pill to successfully establish her foundation in the third year of Yun Xi's retreat and was promoted to an inner disciple.

Upon learning that Sheng Yuhong went to find Yun Xi, he bribed his disciples to monitor Yun Xi's residence, and then created an encounter with Sheng Yuhong.

Without Yun Xi's knowledge, Wei Yunqing still established contact with Sheng Yuhong.
