I studied abroad in modern times

Seeing Zheng Fa's somewhat touched face, Senior Sister Zhang smiled and suddenly said: "I will do this as soon as possible. I will leave the sect for a while in a few days."

"Leave the sect?"

Zheng Fa was stunned, not understanding why Senior Sister Zhang suddenly mentioned this.

He had some understanding of Senior Sister Zhang's personality. Senior Sister Zhang was not a person who liked to go out - if Zheng Fa didn't look for her and she didn't have to deal with the internal affairs of the sect, she would usually practice at home.

A bit of a homebody anyway.

Or in other words, because the cultivators of the Xuanwei Realm practice most of the time, they behave a bit like homebodies.

Senior Sister Zhang explained: "I told you before that a spiritual cave appeared in Taiyang County, and the Changchun Sect repeatedly asked for help."

Zheng Fa remembered that Senior Sister Zhang had said before that she wanted to transfer Senior Sister Yuan away because of this.

But at this time...why did Senior Sister Zhang go alone?

"I wanted to let Junior Sister Yuan go before because I felt that you might encounter some difficulties in managing the market, and I was worried."

Senior Sister Zhang seemed to understand what Zheng Fa was thinking and spoke.

Zheng Fa understood that what Senior Sister Zhang meant was that he performed too well.

If it was Senior Sister Zhang who stayed, Zheng Fa's burden would be much lighter - if there was anything difficult to decide, he could just ask Senior Sister Zhang for advice.

But Senior Sister Yuan...

Well, considering that Senior Sister Yuan was good to him.

Zheng Fa politely stopped thinking about it.

"Senior Sister, what is this spirit cave?"

Senior Sister Zhang's explanation could not completely reassure Zheng Fa - Senior Sister Zhang was like a stabilizing force for the Jiushan Sect in terms of wisdom and cultivation.

Zheng Fa saw that the three Yuanyings in the sect did not seem to be very reliable, but Senior Sister Zhang was the one who worried the most.

The things that could make her leave the sect were definitely not as easy as she said.

He couldn't help but feel a little worried.

"Spirit cave..." Seeing him asking, Senior Sister Zhang smiled, as if she knew he was concerned about her, and her voice became much softer: "Spirit cave, spirit vein, are actually the same thing."

"Spirit vein?"

Zheng Fa was shocked, this was no small matter.

He had read the "Spiritual Veins Theory" written by the head of the sect, and knew that in the Xuanwei Realm, spiritual veins can be said to be the foundation of a sect's survival.

Especially now that spiritual energy is declining, a spiritual vein with abundant spiritual energy is even more important.

"Spiritual veins are often on the surface of the earth, and can gather spiritual energy for a long time for cultivators to practice." Senior Sister Zhang explained to Zheng Fa and the others: "But spiritual caves are different. Although spiritual caves also gather spiritual energy, they are often buried deep underground and unknown to people."

"...Then the spiritual cave will appear?"

"When the spiritual energy of the spiritual cave accumulates to a certain stage, it will explode, causing changes in the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and then it will be discovered by cultivators." Looking at Zheng Fa's face that was still a little confused, Senior Sister Zhang added:

"Although the spiritual energy of the spiritual cave will slowly dissipate after the explosion, the spiritual cave will also have a lot of good things accumulated over the years."

"Senior Sister, what are you saying?"

Zheng Fa was a little confused.

"A spiritual stone mine was discovered in the spiritual cave in Taiyang County."

Spirit... stone... mine...

Zheng Fa immediately understood why Senior Sister Zhang had to go out in person.

"Sister, this spiritual stone mine has appeared..." Zheng Fa frowned and asked, "Won't it cause a big mess?"

Zheng Fa knew how important spiritual stones were to cultivators.

This thing can not only serve as currency among cultivators.

It can also assist cultivators in their cultivation - of course, there are generally no cultivators in this era who waste things like this.

In the fields of formations, spiritual stones also play an irreplaceable role.

"Taiyang County is in chaos now. The head of the Changchun Sect has sent letters many times, saying that not only cultivators from the various sects of the Hundred Immortals Alliance have appeared, but also some from other sects, and even traces of the Demon Sect have been found."

"... Changchun Sect?"

"The founder of the Changchun Sect was once a disciple of my Jiushan Sect. After achieving the Golden Elixir, he founded his own family, and later developed into a small sect - but they have always been respectful to my Jiushan Sect and have been offering sacrifices continuously."

Zheng Fa nodded, knowing that the Changchun Sect was probably a die-hard vassal of the Jiushan Sect, and perhaps the Jiushan Sect was behind the founding of the sect.

It seems that Zheng Fa understands the importance of the emergence of this spiritual cave.

Senior Sister Zhang suddenly said, "The General Affairs Office has its own rules for so many years. I am not worried about anything, but the market has changed a lot now, with the ferry and the drama. I am still not at ease."

"Senior Sister!" Senior Sister Yuan patted her chest and said, "You can leave the market to..."

"Zheng Fa." Senior Sister Zhang rushed to say.

"?"

Senior Sister Yuan watched Senior Sister Zhang point at her and entrusted Zheng Fa, "Including Junior Sister Yuan, you should take care of them."

...

Zheng Fa and Senior Sister Yuan left Senior Sister Zhang's courtyard side by side.

After walking a long way, Senior Sister Yuan slowly put away the grievance on her face and said to Zheng Fa, "I am afraid that Taiyang County is not good."

"Huh?"

"Senior Sister Zhang, only before the war will she satisfy her appetite." Senior Sister Yuan said slowly, with a rare worry on her face: "She herself is not aware of this habit of hers."

Watching Zheng Fa staring at her.

Senior Sister Yuan was a little confused: "Why are you asking me to watch?"

"I didn't expect that Senior Sister would be so insightful."

"Tsk, there are too many things to care about when you are a human. I'd rather be a bird, free and unfettered." Senior Sister Yuan raised her head and said with a very smart look: "Anyway, Senior Sister has sent a lot of people to Taiyang County during this period."

Zheng Fa remembered that when he went to Fufa Pavilion before, he found that many lecturers from Senior Sister Zhang's lineage were missing.

Now it seems that he probably went to Taiyang County.

"But with Senior Sister Zhang's strength, even if there is a conflict with Zhenren Yuanying, she will not have any big trouble... Then I can go to Taiyang County to play with her!" Senior Sister Yuan thought for a while, as if she was thinking about it again. He comforted himself and laughed heartlessly.

…

Zheng Fa frowned unconsciously as he walked to his home, feeling quite sad in his heart.

Senior Sister Zhang's departure certainly meant that he lost a big leg within the sect.

But there’s nothing to worry about.

His status as the head disciple and Senior Sister Yuan are enough for him to run amok in the Jiushan Sect.

But Senior Sister Yuan's words made him realize that his cultivation level was still too low.

It's so low that Senior Sister Zhang is unwilling to tell the truth to herself.

And he really can't help much now.

"Senior Brother Zheng?"

When he walked to the door of his house, Zheng Fa suddenly heard someone greeting him.

When he looked up, it was Zhou Qianyuan.

He stood at the door of his house, as if he had been waiting for him for a long time.

"Junior brother Zhou? Do you have anything to do with me?" Zheng Fa asked Zhou Qianyuan into the room.

"It's not a big deal." Zhou Qianyuan shook his head, took out the jade tube given by Master Pang from his storage bag, and asked with concern: "Senior Brother Zheng, you were frowning just now, as if you were embarrassed, are you? Can junior brother help?"

Zheng Fa didn't hide anything when he heard this. Now he and Zhou Qianyuan are familiar with each other, and there is nothing to hide.

He sighed and said: "I just think my cultivation level is too low."

"Too low?"

Zhou Qianyuan paused and looked at the jade tube in his hand, seeming a little hesitant.

"Yeah, I'm only at the fifth level of Qi training now..."

"Senior brother, I have only practiced at the fourth level of Qi."

Zhou Qianyuan interrupted him, his tone a bit resentful.

"..."

The atmosphere was inexplicably awkward.

Zhou Qianyuan pursed his lips and handed the jade tube to Zheng Fa.

"Um?"

Zhou Qianyuan said with a straight face: "This is the jade tube my master gave me. He said he asked me to give it to my senior brother you on a certain day."

Zheng Fagang was ready to take over the jade tube.

There was a burst of cheerful shouting outside the door.

"Zheng Fa!"

The courtyard door of Zheng Fa's house was pushed open with a bang.

Zheng Fa was stunned.

This voice and this movement are both a bit familiar.

"Zheng Fa! I'm here to see you!" The seventh young master's voice passed through the door. He walked quickly into the yard and said cheerfully: "Surprise or not!"

He stumbled to the door of the lobby, and said: "Young master, I was just thinking that I am accompanied by my sister in Qingmu Sect, and you are alone in Jiushan Sect without any relatives or reason!"

"Loneliness must be bad!"

"No, I will come find you as soon as I can leave the clan!"

The seventh young master looked into the hall and saw Zheng Fana's hand, which was about to take the jade tube, resting on Zhou Qianyuan's arm.

The two looked extremely close.

He trembled his lips.

Looking at Zheng Fa, then looking at Zhou Qianyuan - the expressions on his face were very complicated.

Zheng Fa silently retracted his hand, always feeling embarrassed that he had been caught cheating on someone.

"Seventh Young Master? Why are you here?"

He walked quickly to the door and saw another familiar figure: "Miss?"

The eldest daughter of the Zhao family was standing at the door, looking helplessly at her dejected brother and shaking her head.

"I had something to do when I went out and passed by Jiu Shan Sect. This guy was making trouble to come..."

"Who's making a fuss about coming?"

The seventh young master stood at the door of the lobby, feeling a little aggrieved.

"Then what are you doing here?"

The eldest lady gave him a sideways look.

"I'm here... I'm here to watch the drama!" The seventh young master snorted coldly and said, "The reputation of the Jiushan Sect's drama has spread to the Qingmu Sect. I'm here to see what's going on? I'll leave after watching it! "

Looking at his appearance, Zheng Fa couldn't help but laugh: "Seventh Young Master, I am very happy that you are here."

"Really?" The seventh young master's face slowly looked better.

"That's because I have no relatives in the Jiushan Sect."

"What about him?"

"He's here to deliver something to his master."

Zhou Qianyuan nodded silently and raised the jade tube in his hand.

It means that he is just a simple errand boy.

The seventh young master laughed, put his arm around Zheng Fa's shoulders and said, "You've suffered a lot in the Jiushan Sect alone. It's okay, I brought you something good!"

The seventh young master stretched out his hand towards his sister.

The eldest lady reluctantly handed over a small bundle, opened it, and found some bottles and cans, as well as some wrapped food.

"These are the specialties of our Qingmu Sect." The eldest lady explained: "He saw them and thought they were good, so he brought them to you."

"Junior Brother Zheng!" Han Qi's voice came from the door: "Those vendors in Fangshi have brought a lot of things to you in the past two days! We have moved them here for you, Junior Brother!"

Han Qi and the other three appeared at the door carrying large and small bags of things.

The seventh young master looked at the small bundle in his hand and tightened his fingers as if he wanted to take it back.

Zheng Fa came over, opened a small oil paper bag in the bag, picked up a piece of cool brown sugar pastry from it, and stuffed it into his mouth.

"tasty!"

While chewing, he spoke vaguely to the seventh young master.

The seventh young master looked at his expression for a moment, then finally laughed.
