Seeking Immortality

"What about you? Still don't want to become my teacher?"

Hearing Xu Qingfan's sudden question, Bai Lianye and Bai Yu both looked embarrassed, but they didn't expect Xu Qingfan to hear it.

Speaking of Bai Yu alone, Bai Lianye asked him to become Xu Qingfan's disciple before, but he was unwilling. The biggest reason was naturally because he didn't want to leave Zhang Ningmei for cultivation reasons after becoming his disciple. Also, he had been in Qiu Qiu since he was a child. He grew up next to Qiu Xuan and was very familiar with Qiu Xuan's magical powers, so if he wanted to become a disciple, he would rather worship Qiu Xuan as his teacher.

Later, when he saw Xu Qingfan with his own eyes, although Xu Qingfan had an elegant temperament, he was even more disappointed when he saw the slight morbidity on Xu Qingfan's face and listened to Xu Qingfan's slight cough occasionally. Due to his preconceptions, he didn't see anything about Xu Qingfan at all. Looks stronger than Qiu Xuan.

So after meeting, Bai Yu also looked indifferent to Xu Qingfan, hoping that Xu Qingfan would not accept him as his disciple when he was angry.

However, Bai Yu did not expect that things would take a turn for the worse. Xu Qingfan was confident of curing Zhang Ningmei's condition that left Qiu Xuan helpless. In the end, Zhang Ningmei directly became a disciple of Xu Qingfan. He wanted to join Xu Qingfan's family with Zhang Ningmei, but he didn't expect that Xu Qingfan would reveal his previous thoughts, so he froze there in embarrassment and didn't know how to move.

Seeing Bai Yu like this, Xu Qingfan sighed slightly in his heart. Although Bai Yu had "Qiongqi" bloodline, he was still like an ordinary boy in the mortal world. Stubborn and impulsive, but at a loss when things happen. Although Xu Qingfan admired his sincere character, it was far inferior to Zhang Ningmei's demure and calm personality.

Although Bai Yu's talent may be much higher than Zhang Ningmei's, it may be because Xu Qingfan's own talent is not high, so when accepting disciples, he pays more attention to the disciple's character.

But Bai Lianye suddenly walked up to him, carried Bai Yu to Xu Qingfan, and bowed to Xu Qingfan together with Bai Yu, saying: "Quuzi was ignorant and made nonsense before. Please don't blame me, senior. No matter it is me or Quanzi. I really want to be a disciple of my senior.”

Bai Yu also nodded awkwardly.

Xu Qingfan thought of Bai Yu's attitude towards Zhang Ningmei before and felt that Bai Yu was also a sincere person. Although he knew that the reason why Bai Yu agreed to become his disciple was probably more because of Zhang Ningmei, Xu Qingfan didn't take it seriously. After all, he has never seen his own magical power, so the future teachings will naturally change his mind. Coupled with Liu Huaxiang's last wish and the sincere attitude of Bai Lianye and his son at this time, Xu Qingfan, after pondering for a moment, nodded and agreed to accept Bai Yu as his disciple.

Seeing Xu Qingfan nodding, Bai Lianye and Bai Yu were overjoyed. Bai Yu also followed Zhang Ningmei's example and bowed three times and kowtowed to Xu Qingfan, and then served him the "apprenticeship tea".

It's just that although Xu Qingfan drank Bai Yu's "apprenticeship tea", he stopped Bai Yu from continuing to worship when he bowed twice and kowtowed six times. Three bows and nine kowtows were for direct disciples. But Xu Qingfan only planned to accept Bai Yu as his disciple.

After everything was over, everyone was happy. Bai Lianye let his son join Xu Qingfan's sect, and he was freed from the intrigues in the world. Zhang Long no longer worried about his granddaughter's condition, so he didn't mention it.

Although Xu Qingfan's expression remained calm, he received two talented disciples like Zhang Ningmei and Bai Yu at once. It is a happy event for any cultivator. After all, cultivating immortality is not only about pursuing immortality. What they care about is the inheritance of their own skills and magical powers.

But Xu Qingfan still stopped Bai Lianye and others from planning a banquet to celebrate and stage a grand apprenticeship ceremony. They were just allowed to celebrate on their own, but Xu Qingfan led Zhang Ningmei and Bai Yu towards a hidden room under the guidance of a general guard.

Everyone knew that Xu Qingfan had something to say with his two new disciples, so they did not try to persuade them to stay, and just drank and celebrated by themselves in the hall.

But it was said that after Xu Qingfan brought Zhang Ningmei and Bai Yu into the room, he first dismissed the personal guards who were leading the way, and then placed a layer of barrier outside the room. Then he sat on a chair in the middle of the room and looked at the two newcomers Zhang Ningmei and Bai Yu. Accepted disciple.

Seeing the two people standing respectfully in front of him, Xu Qingfan nodded with satisfaction, and then said slowly: "From today on, you have become my disciple, so the situation between the master and me is still different. I need to let you know."

Hearing what Xu Qingfan said, Zhang Ningmei and Bai Yu were shocked, and then showed expressions of listening attentively.

As he spoke, Xu Qingfan took off half of the mask on his face and revealed his true face. Ignoring the curious looks from Zhang Ningmei and Bai Yu, he just continued: "First, I need to tell you my teacher's name. My name is not Xu Fan, but Xu Qingfan. Xu Fan was the name I used before I became an immortal and when I secretly went down the mountain to avoid attracting other people’s attention.”

Seeing Zhang Ningmei and Bai Yu's surprised expressions, Xu Qingfan didn't pay attention, and just continued to talk to himself: "As for our master, it is Jiuhua Mountain, one of the six holy places in the world of immortality. Just because there are dozens of Because of something that happened a few years ago, my vitality was severely damaged, so I am currently in a closed mountain, but I secretly went down the mountain to fulfill the last wish of a senior in my sect."

After a pause, Xu Qingfan continued: "Although my master has the status of a deacon and elder in Jiuhua Mountain, my master's pseudonym Xu Fan has made him more famous in the world of immortality. Some people also gave my master a The title of Palm Spring and Autumn is a bit exaggerated.”

Speaking of this, Xu Qingfan told Zhang Ningmei and Bai Yu some common sense about the world of immortal cultivation and the rules of Jiuhua Mountain. After making sure that they both understood, he asked, "What do you two still not understand?"

But Bai Yu asked first, "Master, you just said that Jiuhua Mountain was seriously injured due to some changes, and even to the point of closing the mountain for restoration. But I don't know what the change is?"

Hearing Bai Yu's question, Xu Qingfan hesitated slightly. Although it was not glorious to think that it was not good to hide it from Bai Yu and Zhang Ningmei, he told them in detail about the catastrophe of Jiuhua Mountain more than 50 years ago, so that they could be mentally prepared for the situation of Jiuhua Mountain.

When they heard what Xu Qingfan said about the Jiuhua catastrophe and learned that the next catastrophe would come in less than ten years, they were both stunned and seemed to be a little scared. Xu Qingfan was not relieved. There were some things that they needed to face in advance.

Next. Zhang Ningmei hesitated for a moment, then asked: "Master, what is your current level of cultivation? How many people in the world of immortal cultivation can stand shoulder to shoulder with you?"

Hearing Zhang Ningmei's question, Xu Qingfan didn't know how to answer. Although Xu Qingfan had only reached the late stage of the Void Pill, after a series of battles, he was confident in his magical powers and the mystery of the four spiritual energies in his body. He knew that ordinary solid pill cultivators might not be his opponents, so it was not easy to simply say what level Xu Qingfan's cultivation was.

Finally. Xu Qingfan still explained the strength standards and realm divisions in the world of immortal cultivation to the two of them in detail. As for his own strength, Xu Qingfan only said that he had reached the late stage of the Void Pill.

Then, Xu Qingfan answered some of the doubts in Zhang Ningmei and Bai Yu's hearts. When he explained everything clearly, it was already dusk.

When Xu Qingfan took Zhang Ningmei and Bai Yu back to the hall, Qiu Xuan said goodbye. Xu Qingfan knew that he was going to Ronghua Mountain to meet a group of masters.

I don't know why Qiu Xuan, since he has reached an agreement with Deng Tianai, still wants to find the masters on "Ronghua Mountain". Maybe even though they have reached an agreement, Qiu Xuan still has the intention to plot against Deng Tianai. When Deng Tianai saw Qiu Xuan with Ning Lingzi and others, he should have expected that Qiu Xuan might go to see the masters of the cultivation world, but he didn't care. Maybe letting Qiu Xuan meet the masters was also part of their agreement.

In short, Xu Qingfan was not interested in these. He didn't want to know. With Ning Lingzi's introduction, Xu Qingfan didn't have to accompany Qiu Xuan to "Ronghua Mountain". So when Bai Lianye and others tried hard to keep him, Xu Qingfan just said "Take care on the way".

After Qiu Xuan left, Xu Qingfan stayed in the general's mansion. After all, he was not the kind of person who ignored human feelings. Although he accepted Zhang Ningmei and Bai Yu as his disciples, he was not in a hurry to bring them back to Jiuhua Mountain. He just let them enjoy the affection of their families for a few days. In the future, one day in the mountain will be sixty years in the world. If you cultivate immortality, you will never enjoy the affection of your family again. Three days later.

Eight hundred miles outside Fencheng, a piece of auspicious cloud with colorful colors passed through the sky, bringing a bit of splendor to the clear sky.

I saw three people standing proudly on the auspicious cloud. The first one was wearing a white robe, with a half black mask on his face, and a piece of purple jade on his waist with purple air. It was Xu Qingfan who had just left the general's mansion. On both sides behind him, Zhang Ningmei was wearing a goose yellow skirt, quiet and beautiful. Because Xu Qingfan gave her a bottle of "Blood Spirit Pill" to replenish her vitality, she was not as sick as when Xu Qingfan first met her. But the lovable look on his body did not diminish at all. On the other side, Bai Yu was wearing a black short coat, which made him look very capable. After a few days of getting along, Bai Yu gradually developed the kind of respect for Xu Qingfan that a disciple has for his master. At this time, he was standing behind Xu Qingfan with his hands down respectfully.

After the excitement of standing on the clouds and flying in the sky at the beginning, Bai Yu finally calmed down. He first glanced at the quiet Zhang Ningmei, and then asked Xu Qingfan respectfully: "Master, are we going back to the sect?"

Xu Qingfan nodded slightly and said: "I have finished everything I should do this time when I went down the mountain, and I have been down the mountain for a long time, so I should go back to the mountain. But before going down the mountain, I have to go to the Xiuxian market to find some things."

Hearing Xu Qingfan say this, Bai Yu nodded slightly, but when he knew that he was going to the Xiuxian market, his expression became more excited.

On the other side, Zhang Ningmei, who had been looking at the scenery under her feet, suddenly remembered something and looked up and asked, "By the way, Master, do you have any other disciples in Jiuhua Mountain?"

Xu Qingfan smiled and said, "You two have a senior sister named Xu Yuting. You can call her Senior Sister Ting'er. She is a blood relative of mine who was lost in the mortal world. I brought her to Jiuhua Mountain decades ago. She has excellent talent, but she is usually a little taciturn. Now she has reached the middle stage of spiritual silence and is considered the best master among the younger generation of Jiuhua Mountain. When I am in seclusion in the future, if you have any questions about cultivation, you can also ask her."

As he said this, Xu Qingfan thought about how the always taciturn Ting'er would explain those complicated cultivation issues to Zhang Ningmei and Bai Yu, and the smile on his mouth became thicker.

After hearing Xu Qingfan's words, Zhang Ningmei showed a thoughtful look in her eyes, as if she was considering how to get along with that senior sister in the future.

No words along the way.

Because Xu Qingfan brought Zhang Ningmei and Bai Yu, who had no cultivation skills, he did not dare to use the "Cloud Control Technique" to its full extent, so it took about five days to arrive at the market that Xu Qingfan had visited several times before.

Xu Qingfan came to this market this time to find a rare treasure called "topaz". The second magical power that Xu Qingfan realized this time was very different from the magical powers of most cultivators in the world of immortal cultivation, but it required a rare treasure like "topaz" to be used.

But after Xu Qingfan came to the market under the guidance of the two Taoists and toured it, he was greatly disappointed. Not only "topaz", but even the few things that Xu Qingfan had thought of that could replace "topaz" were not available.

Come to think of it, "topaz" is extremely rare in the world of immortal cultivation, and even if it is available, it will not be encountered at any time.

Zhang Ningmei and Bai Yu followed Xu Qingfan and looked around the market with great interest. Those strange instruments and spiritual stones that flashed with various lights could make them stop for a long time.

After searching for the "topaz", Xu Qingfan suddenly had a slight thought in his mind. He remembered something the old beggar had told him before. He found a Taoist priest in charge of the market and asked, "My fellow Taoist, as far as I know, there is a treasure house near this market that sells all kinds of strange treasures. Do you know the exact location?"
