Seeking Immortality

Three days later.

Compared with the mysterious and crisis-filled night in Southern Wilderness, the daytime in Southern Wilderness is also slightly gloomy because of the cloudy sky. Under the weak sunlight, the southern wilderness looked even more desolate.

In this dim sunlight, Xu Qingfan slowly opened his closed eyes, circulated the spiritual energy in his body, and found that the internal injuries had basically recovered, and the dryness and prosperity in the body had basically recovered, and he couldn't help but feel satisfied. Nodding, he stood up and bowed to the two monks from the Valley of Asceticism behind him and said, "Thank you two venerables for your help."

In the past three days, these two monks from the Valley of Penance have been doing exercises to help Xu Qingfan heal his injuries and restore his spiritual energy, so the first thing Xu Qingfan did after he recovered was to thank them both. With the help of the monks in the Valley of Penance and many elixirs, Xu Qingfan's internal injuries and loss of spiritual energy in this battle were all healed in just three days. If Xu Qingfan only relied on himself, he would have to meditate for at least ten days just to restore the depleted spiritual energy in his body, and it was unknown how long it would take for his injuries to fully heal.

"Fellow Taoist, you're welcome. Little Taoist, you were seriously injured in order to prevent the magic beads from harming the world. It's our duty for the two of us to help you heal your wounds and restore your spiritual energy. How can you thank your fellow Taoist?" An ascetic cultivator Brother Gu said with a smile. Although the other monk didn't say much, he nodded in agreement.

"The two venerables are ridiculously complimenting you. I am so ashamed of myself." Xu Qingfan raised his hands and said, "This time, I was able to stop the magic beads from raging in the Southern Wilderness. I just did my best. In the end, it was all thanks to the timely assistance from the venerables of the Penance Valley. Otherwise, this junior would have turned into a handful of dust in the Southern Wilderness.”

"My nephew, Qingfan, I'm not talking about you. Your skills and knowledge are extraordinary, and you are also a very good person. However, your usual behavior is too pedantic and you are always polite."

Just when the two monks in the Valley of Penance wanted to say something more, Bowie's voice suddenly came from behind Xu Qingfan. Xu Qingfan turned around and saw that Bao Wei and Xuanxiu Xuanxian were walking side by side towards him. After this common battle, Bowie became obviously more friendly to Xu Qingfan, and his words also sounded like a close elder.

Behind Bao Wei and Xuanxiu Xuanxian were four disciples of the Qingxu Sect, Lu Ziqing, Shang Nianyao, Xu Xiurong, and Hou Wanjun, as well as Ting'er, Xu Qingfan's only clan member left in the world. During the three days that Xu Qingfan was recovering from his injuries, Ting'er was always taken care of by Xu Xiurong. But for some reason, Xu Xiurong's expression seemed a little gloomy at this time, while Ting'er remained as cold as ever, her eyes silently staring at Xu Qingfan who had returned to his usual calm and elegant demeanor, but she didn't know what she was thinking.

I saw that whether it was Bao Wei Xuanxiu or Lu Ziqing Shang Nianyao, the color had returned to their faces, their steps were steady, and their eyes also contained a layer of light. Apparently after three days of recuperation, they also cured their injuries and recovered their skills with the help of the monks from the Valley of Penance and elixirs.

Seeing that everyone in Bao Wei had recovered, Xu Qingfan was overjoyed, and he raised his hands to Bao Wei and said, "Senior will laugh."

Seeing that Xu Qingfan was still so polite to him, Bao Wei couldn't help but shook his head and said: "Your master has a very mean and acrimonious character. He never shows mercy when he speaks. I don't know how he taught you to be like this." apprentice."

Hearing Bao Wei's words, Xu Qingfan smiled bitterly. He knew that Bao Wei's words had no malice towards his master, so he was not angry. He just continued to say politely: "I made senior laugh."

Little did Bowie know that although Xu Qingfan had been a disciple of Lu Huayan for more than ten years, the people who had the greatest influence on Xu Qingfan's character were the second elder of Xujiazhai and his senior brother Yue Qingru when he was a child. In addition, Xu Qingfan has been studying poetry and calligraphy for many years, so his behavior cannot help but be somewhat bookish. Although he is elegant, he is also inevitably a little pedantic.

Seeing Xu Qingfan still like this, Bao Wei sighed slightly and said, "My nephew, I came to you this time mainly to say goodbye to you."

Hearing Bao Wei's words, Xu Qingfan was slightly startled and asked: "Senior, are you going back to the mountain gate?"

Bowie nodded and said: "The matter here is over. The whereabouts of several apprentice nephews are already known. The culprit Naxiu has also been executed. It's time for us to go back. Not only us, but also the few in the Valley of Penance. The monk is going back to the mountain soon."

After Naxiu's death, most of the monks in the Valley of Penance have returned to the mountains to continue practicing. For monks like them who yearn for the path to immortality, wasting time on anything other than cultivation is simply a waste. So after solving Naxiu, only a dozen monks were left to take care of Bowie, Xu Qingfan and others, and help Xu Qingfan and others heal their injuries. The rest returned to the Valley of Penance three days ago to continue their hard training. Now that Xu Qingfan and others are fine, it's time for the remaining monks to go back.

Although they didn't get along for long, Xu Qingfan was still filled with sadness when facing farewell. For some reason, Xu Qingfan even felt more relaxed when getting along with Bao Wei, Lu Ziqing and others than when he stayed at Jiuhuamen. So he said with a hint of sadness: "Senior, I wish you a safe journey and good skills. I hope we will meet again in the future."

People who cultivate immortals usually spend most of their lives cultivating. In order to improve their skills, they often practice in seclusion. Those with low skills need dozens of days in seclusion, while those with high skills need several years or even decades. As the saying goes, there is no age in the mountains, and there is no time in cultivating immortals. In addition, few people in the cultivation world go down the mountain, and the entire Shenzhou is so vast, so Xu Qingfan can meet and get to know Bao Wei and others, which is really a fate, but whether they can meet again in the future, the chance is slim. This is why Xu Qingfan is sad now.

"There will definitely be a day to see each other again." Lu Ziqing said with a smile beside him.

"Oh? What do you mean by this, Senior Brother Lu?" Xu Qingfan asked in confusion.

"My Senior Brother Shang and I will represent our sect in the newcomer competition held by the six major holy places in three years. I think with Senior Brother Xu's cultivation, he will definitely represent Jiuhua Sect to participate, right? Then won't we meet again?" Lu Ziqing explained with a smile.

After hearing what Lv Ziqing said, Xu Qingfan suddenly understood, and his mood improved a lot. He smiled and said, "Then I will wait for Senior Brother Lv and Senior Brother Shang."

"Please show mercy to Senior Brother Xu." Lv Ziqing also smiled and bowed.

As they said that, the two smiled at each other, and everything was said without words.

At this time, Xu Qingfan turned to Shang Nianyao, Hou Wanjun, and Xu Xiurong. After seeing Xu Qingfan's gaze, the three nodded to Xu Qingfan, but did not say much.

Shang Nianyao had a hidden illness and was not easy to speak, while Hou Wanjun rarely spoke when Bao Wei was around. Xu Qingfan was not surprised that the two did not speak much, but Xu Xiurong was familiar with him, and she did not speak either, which made Xu Qingfan a little surprised.

After saying goodbye to Shang Nianyao and Hou Wanjun, Xu Qingfan turned to Xu Xiurong and said with a smile: "Junior Sister Xu, take care of yourself in the future."

Xu Xiurong first looked up at Xu Qingfan with complicated eyes, and when she found that Xu Qingfan was staring at her, she lowered her head, her cheeks slightly red, and whispered: "Senior Brother Xu, you should also take care of yourself."

Seeing Xu Xiurong's gloomy expression and complicated eyes, Xu Qingfan couldn't help but feel strange. Just when he was about to ask something, Bao Wei next to him suddenly asked: "Where are you going next, nephew?"

"The next step for the younger generation is to go to the old site of Xujiazhai to avenge the clan members and end the worldly relationship." Xu Qingfan replied respectfully.

Hearing Xu Qingfan's words, Bao Wei frowned slightly and said, "Nephew, do you want to get rid of the blue-eyed cloud-kicking beast?"

Xu Qingfan nodded and said, "That's right."

Seeing Xu Qingfan nod in agreement, Bao Wei frowned and said, "The blue-eyed cloud-kicking beast is very powerful. It is a high-level human-level monster. After adulthood, it has the strength of the late stage of spiritual silence. Although you are a mysterious nephew, it may be very difficult to defeat it. If you need it, I can go with you first and help you get rid of the monster. What do you think?"

Hearing Bao Wei's words, Xu Qingfan knew that Bao Wei said so out of love for himself, and he was moved in his heart, but he still refused and said, "I won't bother you, senior. Although the blue-eyed cloud-kicking beast is very powerful, I am still confident that I can win the battle."

If it was before coming to the Southern Wilderness, Xu Qingfan would not dare to make such a guarantee. But Xu Qingfan gained a lot from this trip to the Southern Wilderness, collecting countless exotic flowers and plants, and his strength was three points better than before. This time, under the help of the monks in the Kuxiu Valley, Xu Qingfan found that his skills had improved a little bit, so he was so confident.

Hearing Xu Qingfan's confident words, Bao Wei nodded slightly and said, "Even so, my nephew should be more careful."

"Thank you for your concern, senior." Xu Qingfan bowed and said.

Bao Wei nodded, and then said, "In this case, Ziqing and I will return to Qingxu Gate. If you are free in the future, you can come to Qingxu Gate to find me."

"If you have time, I will definitely go. Please don't bother me when you go." Xu Qingfan said with a smile.

Hearing Xu Qingfan's words, Bao Wei couldn't help laughing, and then said goodbye to the monks in the Kuxiu Valley one by one, and then a large piece of colorful auspicious clouds appeared under his feet, carrying Lu Ziqing and the other four people and flew quickly to the north. The speed of this auspicious cloud was extremely fast. In a blink of an eye, the figures of Bao Wei and others turned into a tiny black dot in the sky, and then completely disappeared.

Xu Qingfan stared at the direction where Bao Wei and others left, and was stunned for a long time.

Just now, when Bao Wei and others said goodbye to everyone in Kuxiu Valley before leaving, Xu Xiurong walked up to Xu Qingfan again, ignoring the surprised eyes of Lu Ziqing and others, and lowered her head to Xu Qingfan and said: "Senior Brother Xu, in three years, I will also follow Senior Brother Lu and others to participate in the newcomer competition."

After saying that, Xu Xiurong ran back to Bao Wei with a blushing face, and left quickly under the support of Bao Wei's auspicious cloud.

Seeing Xu Xiurong's shy look, although Xu Qingfan had never had any thoughts about love between men and women, he couldn't help but feel a little strange in his heart at this time.

ps: Sorry for the late upload. The second update will be uploaded before 11 o'clock. Today at the sports meeting, I was abused when playing ball, and I was depressed.
