Fairy!

"Besides, the elders and deacons have all seen you. If you go to them for help, they won't sit idly by."

Ye Hong thanked him softly again and sent Murong Yun away. He then let out a long sigh, a hint of impatience already visible on his face.

Can I finally start cultivating immortality?

He first took out the volume of "Water Classic" from his body and began to study it. After opening it, he saw that the opening chapter read, "Heaven gave birth to water, which is the first of the Five Elements. Qi is the mother of water."

The mantra of the heart method is:

The immortal magic condenses into clouds and makes the world pure, while cultivating oneself and nurturing one's nature makes the mind clear and bright.

Bathing in the lake cleanses your thoughts and lets the ripples wash away the dirt.

……

To summarize it simply in a few hundred words, this is a breathing method that teaches people how to “calm the mind like water.”

Ye Hong felt that this technique was too slow to practice. If he wanted to achieve something, he would need to put in a lot of effort and the process was too boring.

It seems that I need to find another set of skills that is more suitable for me.

He closed his eyes and thought carefully, and soon he found a very powerful and very suitable unnamed skill in the dragon's memory, and he named it "Swallowing Fish" very vividly.

This was the skill it relied on to survive when it was still a big blue carp. The method of practicing it was also very simple. It only needed to devour the flesh of its own kind to strengthen itself and complete its evolution.

For Ye Hong, this is a water-attributed technique that devours water creatures to increase his own physical strength.

He silently said in his heart, "Water is the blood of the dragon."

"When the water level rises by one foot, the dragon rises by one foot; when the water level rises by one ounce, the dragon also rises by one ounce."

"All three rivers are sucked into one breath, and the sea mouth swallows fish and dragons."

Why talk about self-cultivation? It’s better to be a fisherman and let the air force take the money.

Chapter 13 Ye Lianhe

Ye Hong glanced at the pond and quickly picked out a golden carp that was about the length of his palm, ready to cook it and reward himself.

It is said that these koi have servants who feed them every day. When they are hungry, they can get food just by opening their mouths. They are kept in a pond with no natural enemies around them, so they have become dull and have lost their spirituality.

He caught the golden carp without any effort. After thinking for a while, he decided to boil or steam it. He didn't know how it would taste, so he immediately carried the ingredients into the kitchen.

Because no one had lived here for a long time, there was nothing edible in the kitchen, and there were no seasonings either.

After the fish is cooked, there is still a faint spiritual energy flowing on it.

He picked up a piece and took a bite. He was amazed as soon as he put it in his mouth. He thought to himself, this is too delicious, with a fresh and tender texture. If it were made in modern times, it would definitely be a top-level ingredient, worthy of being called fairy carp.

Afterwards, Ye Hong used the water clan skills and felt as if he had turned into a big blue fish again. He swallowed the golden carp into his stomach in one gulp and digested the water spirit energy that had accumulated over the years. In almost an instant, he completed the process of drawing the energy into his body, thus reaching the first level of Qi training.

The entire Qi training period includes a total of ten stages, which are divided according to the amount of "Qi" in the body.

He devoured it, eating first one and then cooking another!

……

Just when Ye Hong entered the Qi training stage through the "Fish Swallowing Technique", the appearance of Ye Wanqing on the Bulao Peak on the Changchun Mountain, thousands of miles away, where the inner sect of the Hua Sect was located, caused an uproar.

Although she is just an ordinary person, the vision of "a lotus in the eternal blue sky" has a unique and special status in the hearts of everyone in the Flower Sect.

Even some of the supreme elders who had been in seclusion for many years and had long since stopped caring about worldly affairs became unusually uneasy after learning about this. They walked out of their caves where they had been practicing and wanted to see her.

Hesitation, uneasiness, and helplessness, this is the most true portrayal of Ye Wanqing now.

She sighed softly in her heart and felt as if she had turned into a giant panda, so people came to see her curiously.

Just as I was daydreaming, I suddenly heard a gentle voice.

"Nothing, no need to be restrained, we just want to see her, Yun Shang, you are the head and have many things to do, go and do your work, just leave this to us."

Ye Wanqing looked in the direction of the voice and saw a plump and graceful beauty talking to Li Yunshang, the head of the Hua Sect. She had a pair of narrow and long phoenix eyes, fair and tight skin, and an aura of majesty without being angry.

This supreme elder is named Ji Chenyu, the founder of the Lotus Sect and one of the twelve founders.

"What's your name, kid? How old are you?"

child! ?

Ye Wanqing felt confused after hearing this, and thought to herself, I'm so old, why do you still call me a child?

But since she was under someone else's roof, she had no choice but to answer honestly: "...Ye Wanqing, about 30 years old this year."

Because she has regained her youth, even she herself is not sure about her exact age.

The beautiful woman repeated, "Ye Wanqing?"

"Yes, Ye Wanqing."

"Wanqing, Wanqing, as beautiful as Qingyang, what a good name." She said to herself, and then sighed, "It's a pity that there are no lotus flowers in the world, only a leaf is left..."

Ye Wanqing was stunned when she heard that. Their eyes met, and that natural feeling of closeness between them spread from the bottom of their hearts again.

Master Chenyu slowly walked towards Ye Wanqing, then raised his hands to hug her and said softly, "Lianhe, it's time to go home."

The other supreme elders around also slowly gathered together and hugged each other, just as close as the sisters when they first founded the Lotus Sect with great difficulty.

Ye Wanqing was surrounded by them, and in such enthusiasm, she seemed increasingly at a loss.

……

Afterwards, everyone dispersed and devoted themselves to their practice again. Only Master Chenyu and Ye Wanqing were left sitting opposite each other in a secluded and elegant room, with wisps of sandalwood slowly rising.

I saw Master Chenyu gently picked up the teacup and took a sip. The past was like the fairy tea in the cup. In the transparent light green hot water, the fine "blue sky leaf tips" slowly sank to the bottom of the cup. Occasionally, one or two pieces floated up from the bottom of the cup, but eventually all sank, leaving only the fragrance for people to savor.

She said slowly: "I know you must have a lot of unanswered questions in your mind, don't worry, I will answer them one by one next."

Ye Wanqing raised her head and asked a little embarrassedly, "Um...did you recognize the wrong person?"

“Alas.” Master Chenyu sighed and waved her slender hands, “I didn’t admit my mistake. This is a long story…”

Hearing her say this, Ye Wanqing's curiosity as a woman was aroused, and she immediately sat up straight, ready to "eat melons".

Grandmaster Chenyu narrated the story, "When I was young, my family and I were hunted by our enemies and we were almost in despair. Unexpectedly, good and bad things come together. This disaster led me to meet my mentor Lian He. She taught me the way to cultivate immortality, but she did not allow me to recognize her as my master..."

"Later, I also made a name for myself in the world of immortal cultivation. It was then that I realized that my teacher Lian He was well-known throughout the entire southern Huazhou. She was the first woman to enter the Tribulation Realm in hundreds of years, and she was also the female cultivator with the greatest hope of ascending to the immortal world. There were countless women like me who had received her kindness. Conversely, there were also countless enemies who wished her to fall."

Time flies, the past is long gone, and Master Chenyu is immersed in it. Ye Wanqing can't help but feel the same way, lamenting how difficult a woman's life is.

"Later, I was very lucky to meet a group of like-minded sisters, and we supported each other all the way to this day."

She chuckled, "Looking back now, it was such a wonderful fate that brought us, female cultivators with similar experiences, together to found the Lotus Sect."

"The origin of this name is Lian He. She is a role model for all of us and even a model for female cultivators in the world. However, no woman can reach the heights she once did."

After saying that, Master Chenyu turned his eyes to Ye Wanqing who was sitting opposite him, "You are just like her. You are also a top-grade innate spiritual root favored by the luck of the land of the state. So, child, can you now understand the excitement we felt after seeing you just now?"

Ye Wanqing was moved and nodded slightly, then immediately asked, "What about her? Did Lian He Shang Xian succeed?"

"After that, no one ever saw her again." Grandmaster Chenyu's tone sank. "Some people said that she successfully ascended to the immortal world, while others said that she had died."

Chapter 14: Choosing a Good Teacher

Ye Wanqing was silent, and suddenly made up her mind. She said to Master Chenyu: "Shangxian, I, I... am definitely not her. I am me."

Although the Fairy Lian He amazed an entire era, she, Ye Wanqing, was also a flesh-and-blood person with her own life and Ye Hong. She was definitely not the reincarnation or successor of Lian He.

Master Chenyu looked calm and peaceful, as if he had already prepared himself mentally, and said in a gentle tone: "I know."

Wanqing is Wanqing, Lianhe is Lianhe, and throughout history, there has only been one Lianhe.

"It's just that... your identity is too special after all, so I want to take you as my apprentice. I wonder if you are willing?"

She asked with a negotiating tone, appearing patient and gentle, making people feel like they were basking in the spring breeze.

Ye Wanqing was already certain that the person sitting in front of her was one of the few people with the highest skills and seniority in this sect, and could be called a well-deserved "noble person".

If you really want to pursue the path of cultivating immortals, you must not miss this excellent God-given opportunity.

So Ye Wanqing made a prompt decision, knelt down on the ground and kowtowed, imitating the way they performed in ancient TV dramas.

"Master, please bow to me, my disciple."

It's not flattery, nor is it servility. Just think of it as kowtowing to a female elder during the Chinese New Year.

Master Chenyu smiled helplessly, took the initiative to help her up, held her in his arms, and gently stroked her slightly red forehead with his sparkling fingertips.

"Wanqing, how can you be so honest? You're blushing. Remember, people of our generation are free and unrestrained. As long as we have a good heart, there's no need for conventional etiquette. From now on, you only need to kneel to heaven and earth and your parents, not to anyone else."

Ye Wanqing thought, even though there was a connection with the Immortal Lian He, and the master was willing to treat her well, people would always become closer as time went by, and more courtesy was never a bad thing, and the master was half a family member, so she had to show him at least some respect.

"In this case, I will accept you as my good disciple."

Grandmaster Chenyu held her in his arms. The more he looked at her, the more he liked her. He said softly, "You have another senior sister. I have just met her. She is Yunshang. She is also a sensible and good child. From now on, you are her junior sister. We are all family. If you need anything, just tell me. Don't be shy."

Ye Wanqing said "hmm" softly, but in her heart she thought that it would be better to avoid trouble if possible. After all, there is no free lunch in the world. It is better to be polite and reciprocate.

"The apprenticeship ceremony will be announced to the world. We still need to wait a few more days. I have to tailor a new set of clothes for you."

Master Chenyu began to mutter to himself, and the corners of his lips curled up unconsciously, as if he had regained the feeling of training his beloved disciple for the first time after many years, and just wanted to give her all the best.

Lianhe, today I have become someone's master, and I am full of expectations for my disciples' future, just as you were back then.

Perhaps, this is the meaning of inheritance, to continue the incense from generation to generation.

She frowned in distress, "Wanqing, what should I give you as a meeting gift? Is there anything you want?"

Hearing this, Ye Wanqing felt a warm feeling in her heart.

Since her parents passed away, apart from Ye Hong, few people cared about her like this. But she was selfish after all, so she raised her delicate face, looked at the master Chenyu, and said cautiously: "Master, I have nothing to ask for, but there is only one person I am worried about..."

Grandmaster Chenyu continued smiling as he said slowly, "I already know. Wanqing, our Lotus Sect has no taboos regarding men and women. Many disciples and even elders have formed Taoist couples with others and have children, so you don't have to worry."

As an aside, perhaps this is exactly why Hua Zong can become the number one force.

After all, mothers, wives and daughters are men's real weaknesses. If they are offended, plotted against, or even bullied, I wonder how many men will jump out to avenge their mothers, wives and daughters.

"As for the impact of losing your virginity on your cultivation, considering your aptitude, it is minimal."

She couldn't help but joked, "I really don't know what kind of handsome man could steal Wanqing's heart?"

Ye Wanqing suddenly felt a little embarrassed, her cheeks flushed, but she looked at her very seriously and explained in a low voice: "Master, I have never had a man..."

Hearing her say this, Master Chenyu was rarely distracted, a trace of confusion flashed in his eyes, he pondered for a moment, and chuckled softly, "If you have never had the ethics of a husband and wife, how are you?"
