Mortal bone

Yunlu Mountain, Xifeng Pavilion.

This is one of the places where Qingxuanzong is responsible for dealing with the affairs of the outer disciples.

"Fairy Linglong, the matter of this little brother's naturalization has been settled. Please keep this bronze mirror and this jade slip."

In the West Wind Pavilion, an old man with gray hair handed a wooden box with a bronze mirror and a jade slip made of white jade to Linglong in front of him.

"Taiping, please keep this bronze mirror. It is not only the proof of your identity as a registered disciple of the outer sect, but also a magic weapon for you to listen to the lectures of the elders in the sect in the future."

Linglong first handed the bronze mirror and jade slips to Taiping.

"That's right, outer disciples cannot receive personal instruction from their masters like inner disciples. They can only observe the elders' lectures from the bronze mirror on the 15th of every month."

The old man in Xifeng Pavilion added with a smile.

"What about this jade slip?"

Xu Taiping nodded, then picked up the jade slip and asked.

"This is the Jade Slip of Gonggong, and there is a method of refining Qi in it. When using it, you just need to concentrate on it and stick it between your eyebrows."

It was the old man who spoke.

"That's right, there are also detailed instructions in the Jade Slip about the usage of the bronze mirror and some precepts that need to be paid attention to after getting started. You can use it after you settle down."

Linglong added a sentence at this time.

"it is good."

Xu Taiping nodded.

"Governor Liu, do you still have a medicine garden under your control that needs someone to take care of it?"

Linglong looked at the owner of the West Wind Pavilion.

"This……"

Pavilion Master Liu's expression froze.

In the outer sect, the easiest place to earn merit is without a doubt the Spirit Medicine Garden. Not to mention the easy work, you can earn more merit.

"Governor Liu, this child is a distant relative of mine. If you can help me with this matter, I, the seventh peak, Zhao Linglong, owe you a favor."

Zhao Linglong said very seriously.

Hearing this, Pavilion Master Liu's eyes suddenly lit up.

He knew Zhao Linglong's identity, the Master of the Seventh Peak was a direct disciple, he would have a bright future in the future, a favor from her was very valuable.

"Since Fairy Linglong has spoken, I will naturally help you with this favor."

Pavilion Master Liu pondered for a moment and then nodded.

Hearing this, Zhao Linglong breathed a sigh of relief.

On the other hand, Xu Taiping cast a grateful look at Zhao Linglong, and he silently remembered this kindness in his heart.

"To tell you the truth, Fairy, there is indeed a medicine garden in the mountains west of Yunlu Mountain under the jurisdiction of Xifeng Pavilion that is unattended."

The Pavilion Master Liu pointed to a map on the wall as he spoke, and then stroked his beard and said, "The place is in Yunqi Valley, three thousand miles away from Xifeng Pavilion, called Qingzhuju. There is half an acre of spiritual land there. Besides the medicine garden, there is also a ready-made small courtyard where you can live and practice."

……

After half an hour.

The entrance of West Wind Pavilion.

"Pavilion Master, didn't a monk report that there were evil spirits in Qingzhuju? You arranged that little guy there. If something happens, can't we explain it to Fairy Linglong?"

Looking at Fairy Linglong and Xu Taiping who were leaving on a crane, a steward of the West Wind Pavilion looked worriedly at the old pavilion master beside him.

"It's just speculation. Several disciples of Sifeng have checked it a few days ago, and there is nothing abnormal."

Pavilion Master Liu shook his head disapprovingly.

"Besides, even if something goes wrong, a mere disciple from outside the mountain will die when he dies. It would be great if half of the registered disciples of the outer sect who join the new entry every year can survive in the mountain. If every one of them dies The old man is in charge, is the old man still the pavilion master?"

He then gave the steward another look.

"What the pavilion master said is that I was worrying too much."

The steward stepped back with a resentful look on his face.

……

Another half hour later.

Qingzhuju.

"Fairy Linglong, the Green Bamboo Residence has arrived."

The crane that speaks human words lightly flicked its wings, causing Linglong and Xu Taiping to land on the ground.

After Xu Taiping stood firm, he raised his head and looked forward.

In a verdant bamboo grove, a small courtyard with mud walls was quietly sitting there, and the scattered bamboo leaves almost covered the threshold.

"Little Taiping, you will have to rely on yourself from now on."

Linglong looked at the sky, and then said to Xu Taiping with some reluctance.

The time agreed with Elder Black Dragon has arrived.

"Thank you, Sister Linglong, I will work hard to cultivate and strive to reach the seventh peak as soon as possible."

On Xu Taiping's immature face, there was a determined expression that did not match his age.

"My sister believes in you."

Linglong raised her hand and touched Xu Taiping's small face with a smile, then she took out a bone flute and a money bag from her sleeve and handed them to Xu Taiping:

"This bone flute can be used to attract spirit birds nearby. In the purse are [-] merit coins given to each new disciple by Xifeng Pavilion. If you have urgently needed items, you can spend one merit coin to let the nearby Lingqin will take you to buy it. But unless it happens, these thirty merit coins cannot be used indiscriminately, because if there is no accident, the medicine garden in your backyard should be deserted, and you have to use this money to buy seeds and food."

"I won't use it indiscriminately, sister Linglong."

Xu Taiping nodded, and took the bone flute and money bag.

"Little Taiping, goodbye by fate, take care."

Linglong, who had already sat on the crane again, waved to Xu Taiping with a smile.

"Goodbye, sister Linglong."

Xu Taiping also waved to Linglong.

"call!"

As soon as the words fell, the crane's wings shook, and a gust of wind surged into the sky.

"Little Taiping, I hope to see you again."

Linglong on the crane looked at the shrinking figure below, and sighed leisurely.

She grew up in Qingxuanzong since she was a child, and she knows very well that such outer disciples who only have Bai Linggu can finally enter the Qifeng, and most of them cannot pass the Qifeng selection within the three-year period.

……

"Squeak..."

As soon as Linglong left, Xu Taiping pushed open the courtyard door, walked in with big strides, and did not stop until he reached the medicine garden in the backyard.

"As Linglong sister said, this medicine garden is indeed deserted."

Looking at the barren medicine garden full of weeds in front of him, Xu Taiping muttered in a low voice.

But he came to the medicine garden in a hurry, not to prove this point.

I saw Xu Taiping carefully took out a wooden box from his bosom, then took out a small porcelain bottle from inside, and poured out the soybean seed from the small porcelain bottle.

That's right, this is the soybean seed his grandfather left him.

"Grandpa said that when you plant this seed in Xianshan, you will have another great opportunity."

While whispering, he squatted on the ground, then dug a hole in the soil of the medicine garden with his hands, and then planted the soybean.

"Since the elixir is real, it means that this seed is also real."

As Xu Taiping said this, he picked up some soil with his small hands and buried the soybean seed very carefully.
