Seeking Immortality

"Senior Brother Xu, I just heard from Li Yuhan that you have returned. Are you here now?"

Just when Xu Qingfan was about to pack up the things he had left in the room, Jin Qinghan's familiar cold voice suddenly came from outside the door. Although the voice was cold, Xu Qingfan could clearly hear the eagerness and joy contained in it.

Hearing Jin Qinghan's voice, Xu Qingfan was slightly stunned. He didn't expect that Jin Qinghan had come to find him just after he came back. Just now, Xu Qingfan had learned from Li Yuhan that among the people who kept asking them about their whereabouts in the past year, Jin Qinghan was the most frequent one. It seems that every time Jin Qinghan finished his retreat, the first thing he did was to confirm his whereabouts with Li Yuhan and others. Judging from what Jin Qinghan said just now, there is no doubt that he had just gone to Li Yuhan and Sheng Yushan again, but this time Xu Qingfan just happened to come back.

Thinking of this, Xu Qingfan was moved. Because he was not sure if he could do this if Jin Qinghan went down the mountain, and it was precisely because of the uncertainty that Xu Qingfan was even more moved.

"Junior Brother Jin, I'm back." Xu Qingfan said to Jin Qinghan outside the door.

Although he was moved and seemed to have thousands of words in his heart, only such a faint sentence came out when he spoke. Xu Qingfan knew that with the relationship between him and Jin Qinghan, words like gratitude were redundant.

Hearing the familiar voice of Xu Qingfan coming from the room, Jin Qinghan pushed the door open and entered. When he saw Xu Qingfan, a trace of warmth flashed across his eyes, and when he saw Ting'er and Xiaobi, a trace of suspicion flashed across his eyes.

After entering the room. Neither Jin Qinghan nor Xu Qingfan spoke immediately, but just looked at each other quietly for a moment. In fact, even in the past, Xu Qingfan and Jin Qinghan said very little when they were together, but the two of them were not embarrassed at all when they were like this, but instead felt a sense of closeness and comfort.

After seeing that Xu Qingfan was fine, Jin Qinghan seemed to be relieved and asked, "Is everything going well for Senior Brother Xu in the past year since he came down the mountain?" Jin Qinghan did not ask about the identities of Ting'er and Xiaobi. Because he was not the kind of person who talked too much, and because he knew Xu Qingfan would definitely explain it to him.

After hearing Jin Qinghan's question, Xu Qingfan did not answer directly, but pointed at Ting'er and introduced to Jin Qinghan with a smile: "Junior Brother Jin, this is my last relative left in the world, my niece Ting'er. I brought her back to Jiuhua Sect this time to let her practice the art of cultivating immortals with me." Then Xu Qingfan pointed at Jin Qinghan and introduced to Ting'er: "This is Uncle Jiu's best friend in Jiuhua Mountain. Uncle Jin Qinghan."

Hearing Xu Qingfan's introduction, Jin Qinghan looked at Ting'er carefully again, and his eyes seemed to linger slightly when he passed by the strange purple-blue flame pattern on Ting'er's face. Looking at the little girl in front of him whose expression was even colder than his own, Jin Qinghan's expression was slightly eased, perhaps because he was afraid that he would scare the child, or because he let go of his guard against strangers.

But what surprised Jin Qinghan was that After hearing Xu Qingfan's introduction, Ting'er didn't greet him like an ordinary child, and her expression didn't show the shyness that a child should have when seeing a stranger. She just looked at him silently. But Jin Qinghan seemed to understand Ting'er's meaning from her silent eyes. She greeted him, and while he was looking at her, he was also looking at him silently.

A strange little girl. Although Jin Qinghan hadn't said a word to Ting'er, he had already defined Ting'er in his heart.

But Jin Qinghan couldn't think of what made a little girl's personality so cold.

Suppressing the doubts in his heart, Jin Qinghan said to Ting'er lightly: "Work hard to cultivate immortality. Don't embarrass me and your uncle."

There was no praise that an elder should have when he first met a younger generation, nor was there a trace of courtesy. Instead, Jin Qinghan's words were harsh and urging. Xu Qingfan knew that Jin Qinghan said this because he had already regarded Ting'er as his niece.

After introducing Ting'er and Jin Qinghan to each other, seeing Jin Qinghan's puzzled look at him, Xu Qingfan knew that he was wondering about Ting'er's strange behavior. He sighed slightly in his heart and said to Ting'er: "Ting'er, go to the next room to see if there are any books that interest you. I will talk to your uncle Jin for a while."

Hearing Xu Qingfan's words, Ting'er's eyes flickered slightly. She seemed to think of something, then nodded obediently, holding Xiaobi and silently walked towards the big wooden house next to her.

Xu Qingfan just watched Ting'er's back quietly until Ting'er walked into the house. Xu Qingfan sighed slightly and smiled bitterly at Jin Qinghan: "This matter is a long story."

Seeing Xu Qingfan's bitter smile, Jin Qinghan did not ask any more questions, but looked at Xu Qingfan silently, waiting for his story. It must be said that although Jin Qinghan has always been taciturn, he has always been Xu Qingfan's best listener.

So as Jin Qinghan listened quietly, Xu Qingfan slowly recounted to Jin Qinghan his experiences in the past year after he came down the mountain, from his actions in Gushan Town to the changes in the Southern Wilderness, from Na Xiu's true identity to Xu Lin's entrustment before his death, from the cause of Ting'er's changes to his killing of the Blue-Eyed Cloud-Kicking Beast to avenge his parents and clansmen, from his experiences in the market town to his travels in the Middle-earth in the past six months.

During this year of travel, Xu Qingfan has accumulated too many emotions in his heart. The sadness when Xu Lin died, the worry after learning about Ting'er's situation, and the confusion after kicking the beast with his hands, but Xu Qingfan's side But there was no one to talk to. The appearance of Jin Qinghan at this time allowed Xu Qingfan to finally talk out all the joys, sorrows and joys in his heart these days. After finishing the story, he felt much more relaxed.

Senior Brother Xu, there are some things that are beyond your control. Don't be too blaming. "Jin Qinghan didn't expect that Xu Qingfan's experience this year would be so exciting and changeable. After listening to Xu Qingfan's story, he was a little surprised. But after seeing the gloomy look on Xu Qingfan's face, he comforted him in a loud voice.

Xu Qingfan waved his hand at Jin Qinghan, indicating that he was fine, and said softly: "I know. There are some things that I can't decide, but similarly, many things can't be let go just by letting go. But don't worry, Junior Brother Jin, things It’s over. Looking back now, I may feel sad, but I won’t be sad. Just once is enough.”

After hearing what Xu Qingfan said, Jin Qinghan stopped talking. Instead, he asked slightly: "Brother Xu, do you really want to teach Ting'er to cultivate immortality? What if she avenges her father's murder on you after she completes her training? According to what I just observed, Ting'er's qualifications are even better than mine. ”

"Personality can be slowly changed, and hatred can be slowly resolved. By the time Ting'er's strength is equal to mine, I'm afraid it will be twenty years later. Such a long time. It will be enough for me to slowly change Ting'er's character." Listen. Xu Qingfan frowned slightly after hearing Jin Qinghan's words. To be honest, he sometimes had this worry. But he couldn't bear to just watch Ting'er slowly die of old age in front of him as a mortal. After all, Ting'er was his only relative left in the world, so he decided to teach Ting'er to cultivate immortality. What's more, Xu Qingfan also believes that with his own efforts, time can resolve everything.

I heard Xu Qingfan say this. Jin Qinghan was a little disapproving, but didn't say much. He knew Xu Qingfan very well and knew that although Xu Qingfan had an easy-going temperament, it would be difficult to change a decision once it was made. I just secretly decided in my heart that I must pay more attention to Ting'er's actions in the future. If Ting'er is really going to be detrimental to Xu Qingfan in the future, then Jin Qinghan will have no choice but to kill him, even if he makes Xu Qingfan an enemy for this.

Just as Jin Qinghan knew Xu Qingfan well, Xu Qingfan also knew him well. Seeing Jin Qinghan's silence, Xu Qingfan immediately guessed what Jin Qinghan was thinking at this moment. But Xu Qingfan was unwilling to continue on this topic, so he asked: "Junior Brother Jin, how have you been this past year?"

Hearing Xu Qingfan's question, Jin Qinghan couldn't help but frown slightly and said, "It's nothing, I'm still practicing. I've been in retreat five times this year, but I still haven't broken through to the middle stage of spiritual silence.

But Feng Qingtian had already reached the middle stage of spiritual silence two years ago. "

Although the voice was calm, Xu Qingfan could still hear the disappointment and frustration contained in it.

Xu Qingfan sighed slightly in his heart. This Jin Qinghan is good at everything, but he likes to compare himself with Feng Qingtian too much. In this way, although his skill will increase rapidly in a short period of time because of his goal, in the long run Feng Qingtian will become a shadow in his heart, which will be extremely detrimental to Jin Qinghan's future development, or only when Jin Qinghan really defeats him one day It would take Feng Qingtian only once to untie this knot in his heart.

But Xu Qingfan has no solution so far. He can only comfort and say: "The further the realm goes, the harder it is to break through. Don't be impatient. That Feng Qingtian has the blood of ancient beasts, so naturally he can break through the realm faster than others. Junior Brother Jin Don't worry."

Seeing that Jin Qinghan nodded but still frowned deeply after hearing his words, obviously still very concerned, Xu Qingfan's heart moved slightly, he took out the bottle of "Golden Spirit Pill" that he had exchanged from Sui Shou from his sleeve, and took it He handed it to Jin Qinghan and said with a smile: "But this time I went out, I accidentally got a bottle of Medicine King Valley Spiritual Pill 'Golden Spirit Pill'. With it, I think junior brother, your realm breakthrough should be much faster, right?"

Seeing the bottle of "golden elixir" in Xu Qingfan's hand, Jin Qinghan's eyes flashed with joy. Although Jiuhuamen also gives Jin Qinghan some elixirs from Yaowang Valley every year, the quantity is small. The effectiveness is one point worse than the "Golden Spirit Pill". With Xu Qingfan's bottle of Golden Spirit Pill, Jin Qinghan is confident that he can break through to the middle stage of Spiritual Silence within this year.

Jin Qinghan silently took the "Golden Spirit Pill" from Xu Qingfan's hand and solemnly put it in his sleeve. Of course he knew that Xu Qingfan could not accidentally obtain something like the "Golden Spirit Pill", which was difficult to cultivate in the entire world of immortality. It must have been Xu Qingfan who found it specially for himself. Although he was moved in his heart, Jin Qinghan didn't say much. Like Xu Qingfan, he knew that gratitude was not just something to talk about.

Just when Jin Qinghan put the "Golden Spirit Pill" into his sleeve, both he and Xu Qingfan suddenly changed their faces, because he suddenly felt a weak wave of fire energy coming from the room next door. What was even more surprising was that the fire aura seemed to be mixed with a trace of weird energy that he had never seen before.

But Xu Qingfan, who had gone through the battle in the Southern Wilderness, knew that the strange energy was the demonic energy that Xiu had before! !

After the two felt the fluctuations of the fire spirit energy, they looked at each other in surprise, and then without hesitation, they rushed towards the wooden house next door.

Xu Qingfan's speed was extremely fast. He was worried that Ting'er might get into an accident, so he increased his speed to the extreme. He came to the original 6 Huayan's room in an instant, but the scene in front of him surprised Xu Qingfan.

Ting'er was standing quietly under the bookcase in the room, with a slender black flame on the fingertips of her right hand, swaying and dancing like a demon. The purple-blue flame patterns on Ting'er's face were even more weird. Ting'er was quietly looking at the black flame on her fingertips, and there seemed to be a hint of surprise in her eyes.

Under Ting'er's feet, Xiaobi shrank her body and kept trembling, as if she was very afraid of the black flame in Ting'er's hand. And next to Xiaobi, a book fell, with six big characters "Fire System Taoism Admonitions" written on the cover! !

In a breath, Jin Qinghan also rushed into the house with Xu Qingfan. When he saw the strange black flame coming out of Ting'er's fingertips, he couldn't help but be surprised.
