Mortal Seeking Immortal

Early in the morning, Liu Yuan led a group of disciples to prepare for the Sixth Elder's inspection down the mountain.

The disciples were afraid that their lives would be in danger. After finishing the tasks assigned by Liuyuan, they checked and took care of the spiritual insects they raised. After repeatedly making sure that there were no problems with the spiritual insects, they felt relieved to welcome the arrival of the Sixth Elder.

More than an hour passed in the blink of an eye. Under the eager eyes of all the disciples, a white light suddenly flashed in the sky. The white light whizzed and fell on the open ground. When the white light dissipated, the figure of the Sixth Elder appeared in front of everyone.

All the disciples headed by Liu Yuan saluted to the Sixth Elder: "Disciple pays homage to the master. May the master live forever."

The Sixth Elder waved his sleeves, put his left hand behind his back, and said calmly: "Without courtesy, this time, as my teacher, the most important thing is to see the results of raising spiritual insects and see if you are slacking off. Don't worry, as long as you work hard, Raise spiritual insects and you will be rewarded by yourself as a teacher.”

All the disciples bowed in unison and said yes. Liuyuan took the opportunity to step forward and stood in front of the Sixth Elder with a smile on his face and said respectfully: "Master, let me lead the master to inspect the spiritual insects."

The Sixth Elder nodded briefly, and saw Liuyuan bowing and extending his hand to invite the Sixth Elder to walk to the nearest courtyard.

After the Sixth Elder and the two entered, the disciples followed into the courtyard and stood outside the door waiting for the Sixth Elder to check.

Ye Zhou raised his eyelids and glanced at everyone, only to see one of them with a nervous expression, staring at the room without blinking. He guessed that he was the disciple responsible for the spiritual insects in this room.

From the corner of Ye Zhou's eyes, he inadvertently spotted Sheng Jin standing in the crowd. Sheng Jin was wearing clean and tidy clothes as a registered disciple. It seemed that he was specially prepared to welcome the arrival of the Sixth Elder. Every fold on his clothes was carefully scrutinized. Laping, with a serious look on his face and his head held high, was standing among the disciples, waiting for the Sixth Elder to inspect the spiritual insects he had raised.

Perhaps he noticed Ye Zhou's gaze, and Sheng Jin looked sideways at Ye Zhou. The moment he saw Ye Zhou, a gentle smile appeared on Sheng Jin's face, and then he walked through the crowd and walked to Ye Zhou.

Ye Zhou bowed his hands to Sheng Jin and said, "Senior Brother Sheng Jin."

Sheng Jin nodded and returned the salute. Perhaps because he was afraid of disturbing the Sixth Elder who was inspecting the spiritual insects in the room, Sheng Jin lowered his voice and said, "You and I don't need to be so polite to each other, and you don't need to be too nervous. For you new disciples, Master is quite tolerant."

When Ye Zhou heard this, he immediately knew that his casual glance just now made Sheng Jin misunderstand that he was afraid that the Sixth Elder would come down from the mountain to check, so Sheng Jin came over to comfort him. Ye Zhou felt warm in his heart, but did not explain anything.

In just a moment, the Sixth Elder and the two men checked all the spiritual insects raised in several rooms in the courtyard. They did not find any problems. They turned around and went to the next courtyard. The few who were responsible for taking care of the spiritual insects in this courtyard were named The disciples breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.

In the next courtyard, there happened to be two rooms where Ye Zhou was taking care of the spiritual insects. Ye Zhou did not show any nervousness at all, but stood in the courtyard and chatted casually with Sheng Jin about spiritual insects. .

After a conversation, Sheng Jin was very impressed with Ye Zhou. He had been under the Sixth Elder for a long time and had met many registered disciples who were familiar with various spiritual insects. However, he was the first to have such a wide range of knowledge as Ye Zhou. See you next time.

Ye Zhou was also amazed by Sheng Jin's unique insights into spiritual insect knowledge.

Since Ye Zhou started raising spiritual insects, he spent most of his time alone based on various hand-down insect-raising books and rarely communicated with others. After communicating with Sheng Jin today, he couldn't help but feel a little sympathy for each other.

The two chatted more and more for a while, completely forgetting about the Sixth Elder who was checking the spiritual insects.

At this moment, the Sixth Elder, who had been silent until now, suddenly spoke. His soft voice came from a room in the courtyard: "Who raised the spiritual insects in this room?"

As soon as these words came out, they immediately attracted the attention of all the registered disciples in the courtyard. Everyone looked into the room. After catching a glimpse of the expressionless face of the Sixth Elder standing in the center of the room, many disciples showed expressions of gloating on their faces. .

For a moment, the eyes of all the disciples present were looking around, as if they were looking for who the unlucky guy was.

The conversation between Ye Zhou and Ye Zhou was also interrupted. When Ye Zhou's eyes fell on the room where the Sixth Elder was, he paused.

Sheng Jin, who was standing next to Ye Zhou, was the first to notice something strange about Ye Zhou and lowered his voice and asked, "Junior Brother Ye, are you responsible for the spiritual insects in this room?"

Ye Zhou nodded slightly and said: "I also looked at the spirit insects in the room this morning, and there was nothing strange. I wonder why Master did this?"

When Ye Zhou said this, an idea suddenly flashed in his mind, as if he remembered something, and murmured: "Is it because there was something wrong with the hatching of those spiritual insect eggs?"

As soon as Ye Zhou finished speaking, Sheng Jin said in surprise: "What? Spirit insect eggs! Are you taking care of spirit insect eggs?!"

Ye Zhou nodded and continued: "These spirit insect eggs were very weak when they were given to me to take care of, and they almost turned into bad eggs. I used some tricks to save them."

"After this period of careful conditioning, the aura of two of the spirit insect eggs is still weaker than normal spirit insect eggs. If they are nursed with spiritual plants for a while, they will be no different from normal spirit insect eggs. ”

Speaking of this, Ye Zhou frowned slightly and said with some regret: "It's a pity that they were handed over to me too late. They have already reached the time to break out of their shells."

"When I went to see them this morning, I guessed that they would hatch in the next few days. Maybe they have already hatched. It is because they failed to hatch that the master wants to punish me."

After Ye Zhou finished speaking, Sheng Jin sighed and said, "Brother Ye, why didn't you tell me about this earlier? You were harmed by Liu Yuan. Didn't I tell you not to offend him? Why didn't you listen to me?"

Hearing this, Ye Zhou looked at Sheng Jin in confusion and asked, "Brother Sheng Jin, why do you say that?"

Sheng Jin explained, "You don't know that the spirit insect eggs should not be taken care of by you new disciples. They were usually assigned to us, the old disciples who have experience in raising spirit insects, to take care of them. "

"Then Liu Yuan assigned the spirit insect eggs to you to take care of, obviously wanting to trick you. Similar things have happened before, and it's my fault for not telling you in detail."

"Before you, there was a disciple who was dissatisfied with Liu Yuan's actions and cursed Liu Yuan behind his back. When Liu Yuan found out, he used this method to get rid of him through the hands of the Sixth Elder."

After saying that, Sheng Jin sighed heavily, looking at Ye Zhou with regret in his eyes. Through the conversation with Ye Zhou just now, he already regarded Ye Zhou as a friend, and didn't want to lose Ye Zhou so soon.
