Seeking Immortality

With a creak, the door of Ting'er's room was slowly pushed open under Xu Qingfan's gaze.

Then, Ting'er's figure appeared in front of Xu Qingfan.

Looking at Ting'er's beautiful face, Xu Qingfan was stunned.

She had a slender figure, giving people a sense of gracefulness. After three months of retreat, perhaps because of the improvement of her realm, or because of Xu Qingfan's words before the retreat, Ting'er's face was still cold at this time, but compared with before the retreat, she was less indifferent, but more gentle, or less arrogant and cold beauty that made people feel more kind and compassionate.

But these were not the reasons for Xu Qingfan's surprise.

What really surprised Xu Qingfan was that on Ting'er's beautiful face, the black flame totems that were originally all over her had disappeared, leaving only a piece of white and tender skin, which was even more amazing.

And the strong demonic fluctuations on Ting'er's body were already vague.

Could it be that the problem of the demonic energy in Ting'er's body has been solved in this Dan formation? Xu Qingfan couldn't help but feel happy again.

After opening the door, he saw Xu Qingfan waiting outside the door. Ting'er first looked at Xu Qingfan silently for a long time, and then suddenly remembered something, lowered her head slightly, and said softly: "Uncle, we will keep going."

Hearing Ting'er's words, Xu Qingfan's heart couldn't help but warm up, but he didn't expect that Ting'er's first words after successfully forming a Dan after coming out of retreat would be like this.

For Ting'er, the meaning of Dan formation has changed from seeking revenge on Xu Qingfan to being able to accompany Xu Qingfan on the road of cultivating immortals. But how could Xu Qingfan not be moved?

Xu Qingfan suddenly smiled slightly, and then slowly walked towards Ting'er.

Seeing Xu Qingfan walking towards her, Ting'er was slightly stunned, but she remembered the hug from Xu Qingfan before the retreat, the warm feeling. After three months, it still couldn't be dispelled. The expectation in his eyes flashed, but it was fleeting. He just stood there quietly, waiting quietly. His body leaned forward slightly. His face was also rarely red. Against the backdrop of his fair skin, he was even more attractive.

But Xu Qingfan stopped one step in front of Ting'er, but he didn't give Ting'er another hug as Ting'er expected, but suddenly stretched out his hand. Then he patted Ting'er's head twice, just like when Ting'er was still a thin little girl. Whenever he broke through the realm or practiced a certain Taoism, Xu Qingfan did the same.

Before Ting'er went into seclusion, Xu Qingfan's hug was not only necessary to remove Ting'er's inner demon, but also a true expression of Xu Qingfan's feelings. But at this time, Xu Qingfan couldn't hug Ting'er again, even though there was no one around.

In the final analysis, although Ting'er was his junior, it was not in accordance with etiquette after all.

Seeing that Xu Qingfan did not give her another hug as she expected, Ting'er first showed a hint of disappointment in her eyes. Then it was replaced by warmth.

Xu Qingfan's gentle pat on the head was a microcosm of her and Xu Qingfan's relationship over the years, which made her recall the bits and pieces between her and Xu Qingfan over the past decades.

"Uncle, he is just like this pat on the head. He has not changed to me over the years."

Ting'er thought secretly in her heart.

It may not be as emotional as a hug, but the feeling of warmth, this gentle pat on the head, plus the faint and soft smile on Xu Qingfan's face, is no less than a hug. And that familiar feeling makes Ting'er feel at ease.

When Ting'er was still a thin little girl, Xu Qingfan was used to patting Ting'er's head to encourage her every time she made some progress. At that time, Ting'er's height was still around Xu Qingfan's waist, so Xu Qingfan could do this conveniently.

But as Ting'er grew up, her height was only about the same as Xu Qingfan's, only half a head shorter than Xu Qingfan. Xu Qingfan rarely did this action. When he patted Ting'er's head like this, he had to raise his hand high, which looked weird.

But after seeing that Ting'er had successfully formed the elixir and was safe and sound, Xu Qingfan couldn't help but walk to Ting'er and pat her head. Although it looked weird to raise his hand high, he felt warm in his heart.

Or maybe in Xu Qingfan's heart, Ting'er has always been the little girl who was only as tall as his waist and followed him silently?

After Xu Qingfan patted Ting'er's head, he took a step back and looked at Ting'er carefully. After a moment, he asked, "Ting'er, have you experienced any changes in your body after you formed the elixir this time?"

Ting'er shook her head slightly, indicating that there was no change from before the retreat, and said softly, "Those methods are useless. Half of the spiritual energy added to the body is still demonized."

Xu Qingfan nodded silently, but disappointment flashed in his eyes. For Ting'er's retreat this time, Xu Qingfan actually had high expectations. In addition to Ting'er's cultivation and lifespan being greatly increased, Xu Qingfan also hoped that he could enter the realm of "heaven-man induction" by virtue of Ting'er's elixir formation. When the spiritual energy of heaven and earth gathered, he could expel all the demonic energy in Ting'er's body. He had thought of many ways to do this. But obviously, the demonic energy in Ting'er's body was deeply rooted, and he had to slowly think of ways to completely expel it.

When Xu Qingfan saw the black flame pattern on Ting'er's face disappear and the demonic energy on her body greatly reduced, he once thought that Ting'er had already done it.

After pondering for a moment, Xu Qingfan stretched out his hand to hold Ting'er's wrist. Without worrying about the possibility of being eroded by the demonic energy in Ting'er's body, he injected a trace of aura into Ting'er's body. Before this aura was completely eroded by the demonic aura, he finally After running through Ting'er's body, Xu Qingfan became more aware of the situation inside Ting'er's body.

Indeed, as Ting'er said, although she has entered the pill formation stage, the situation in Ting'er's body has not changed at all. The traces of demonic energy are still entangled in the Dantian meridians in Ting'er's body, and her body is still half fire spirit energy and half devilish energy. . In addition to the improvement of her realm and cultivation level, Ting'er's success in forming pills this time did not fundamentally change the situation in her body. On the contrary, as her realm improved, the demonic energy in Ting'er's body became stronger.

But I don’t know what’s going on with those black flame patterns on Ting’er’s face?

Thinking of this, Xu Qingfan's heart moved slightly, and then he said to Ting'er: "Ting'er, use your magic fire technique."

Hearing Xu Qingfan's request, Ting'er was slightly startled, but she still stretched out her hand obediently. In a moment, a black flame was already jumping on Ting'er's white hand.

On Ting'er's face, the black flame totem that had disappeared began to loom again.

Xu Qingfan frowned slightly and then said: "Increase the loss of spiritual energy."

As Xu Qingfan finished speaking, the black flame in Ting'er's hand suddenly increased several times in size. At the same time, the black flame totem on Ting'er's face was extremely clear, just like before forming a pill.

Sighing slightly, it seemed that Ting'er's physical condition was still exactly the same as before, but after forming the pill, the demonic energy became restrained. Although regretful, Xu Qingfan didn't think much about it. Ting'er's situation could not be solved in a moment.

After showing Ting'er not to worry with a slight smile, Xu Qingfan said to Ting'er: "Let's go outside. All the elders in Jiuhua have been waiting outside for a whole day to congratulate you on the success of forming the pill."

With that said, Xu Qingfan pointed in the direction outside the cave.

Ting'er nodded slightly and followed Xu Qingfan towards the outside of the cave. Her face was still calm, but she did not express any joy because a group of Jiuhua elders came to congratulate her. For her, even these Jiuhua elders came to congratulate her. The elder waited for her for a year outside the cave, but it was not as important as Xu Qingfan's simple words of importance.

What's more, Ting'er also knew that most of the Jiuhua elders actually didn't like her. The reason why they came to congratulate her on the success of forming the pill was probably because of Xu Qingfan's face. And she didn't care about the feelings of those elders. The reason why she wanted to meet those elders was only because Xu Qingfan asked her to do so.

And when Xu Qingfan opened various enchantment formations outside the cave, he saw a group of elders standing quietly outside the cave. After seeing Xu Qingfan and Ting'er appeared, they all bowed and first faced them. Ting'er said: "Congratulations to fellow Taoist Xu for successfully forming the elixir."

Then, he bowed to Xu Qingfan again and said congratulations: "Congratulations to Deacon Xu's disciples for their successful cultivation and promising inheritance."

Despite such congratulations, the expressions of many elders were very reluctant. Xu Qingfan didn't care whether the congratulations of these elders were sincere or fake, he just smiled and bowed with Ting'er in return.

After finally dealing with these elders, it was already two hours later, during which Xu Qingfan spent a long time in An Jin Qinghan's heart.

And when Xu Qingfan finally brought Ting'er back to his cave, looking at the peaceful courtyard, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Politeness, continuous politeness, is also a very laborious thing.

After Ting'er successfully formed the elixir, she understood Xu Qingfan's concerns over the past few years. Xu Qingfan felt that it was time for him to retreat.
