Retreat!

Lingling's decision completely drove Dongfang Rouyin crazy.

She was enjoying the pleasure of the two of them traveling around the world and traveling to the ends of the earth with swords. Now she wants to retreat!

Lingling did not hide the truth from Dongfang Rouyin and told her about her falling into the realm.

"I have too many enemies now. If I meet a master like the Magic Clothes Sect again, I will definitely die. I won't do such stupid things. That's why I want to take this opportunity to consolidate my foundation." Lingling said, patting Dongfang. Rouyin continued with her hand: "Rouyin, although you are happy with the world of martial arts, you still have to learn how to let your heart settle down. Why don't you also practice in seclusion, and we can meet up to travel together after we are out of seclusion? how?"

Dongfang Rouyin understood Lingling's current situation and understood her considerations. Although she was reluctant, she still agreed to her proposal. Thinking back, I have been away from home for a few years, and I feel a little homesick!

"Okay. Ling, if this girl meets the little bitch named Su Wan from the 'Magic Clothes Sect', I will chop her up and feed her to dogs to satisfy the hatred in our hearts."

She knew that Su Wan framed Lingling. If it weren't for her, Lingling wouldn't have been misunderstood and hunted down, let alone lost his cultivation. She had remembered this hatred.

No matter what Dongfang Rouyin thinks, Liang Ling and Liang Zi of the ‘Magic Clothes Sect’ are dead, and they will never stop fighting from now on.

After learning that Tianzong Pavilion also had a lot of grudges and old grudges with the 'Magic Clothes Sect', Lingling suddenly felt that he had chosen the right supporter.

A few days later, after saying goodbye to Dongfang Rouyin, she began to make some preparations before her retreat. As for agreeing to the Ye brothers' research on purple phthalide, they can only postpone it until she comes out of isolation.

... ...

Tianzong Pavilion covers a vast territory and has many disciples. It is divided into the outer sect and the inner sect. The outer sect is divided into five sects, twenty-six districts and fifty-six offices, and the inner door has one hall, five peaks, three halls, thirteen districts, twenty-eight districts, and three hundred and sixty pavilions. The inner door is in charge of the outer door, Feng is in charge of the faction, the district is in charge of the office, and the office is in charge of the building, pavilion and hall.

In order for a sect to operate and develop well, in addition to a large amount of funds for maintenance and operation, it also needs excellent management talents. If a sect wants to gain a firm foothold in the entire continent and gain both fame and wealth, there is no doubt that the strength of the sect plays a large part in the factors. , and the strength of one's individual strength accounts for part of the sect's strength.

To put it bluntly, whoever contributes more to the sect will get more and better cultivation resources. The more resources, the better, which means that the cultivation speed will increase faster, and the status will naturally change.

With the strength of the top Lingling elites, they can naturally be assigned to a good area as their residence.

She chose a remote place full of spiritual energy, fertile land and beautiful scenery.

During this retreat, she mainly wanted to lay a solid foundation, and secondly, she planned to study some unknown creatures and plants that she had collected everywhere.

When he came to the area he had chosen, Lingling first set up a protective formation to establish his territory. Then he found a place with beautiful scenery as a residence. After a simple layout, he opened up a garden in the backyard. He went out to a medicinal field and handed over the collected spiritual herbs to the spirit puppets to take care of; he also found an inconspicuous mountain and opened a cave there, and dug along the direction of the underground river to open up a cave for cooking. Among the caves used as living rooms, one is used as her laboratory, one is used as a training room, one is used as a constant-temperature cultivation room, and the other is used as a cold storage room.

Madam Shan has prepared everything Lingling needs. She only needs to place experimental benches, fume hoods, explosion-proof cabinets, medicine cabinets, gas cabinets, etc. made of various materials in the laboratory, and then place bottles, cans, cups, and cups of various shapes and sizes in various cabinets. , needle, thread, ring, box...

Because of familiarity and habit, Lingling placed it easily.

After everything was arranged properly, she floated the arranged Na rings above the experimental table for easy access.

The branches and a few seeds that she collected in Xianju Mountain have been soaked in the spiritual liquid. The broken branches have sprouted small emerald green buds; and the seeds only look changed. It was just a little fuller, so Lingling continued to soak it in the spiritual fluid and put it in the cultivation room.

There is white floc in a crystal bottle that looks like accumulated dust. Before, the white floc seemed to be floating in the air, but now there is a small pile at the bottom of the bottle.

Lingling put on a homemade mask, put the crystal bottle into a transparent sealed box, took a small portion from each and put it in several incubators, and added different substances and gases to the several incubators. Materials include living things, dead things, and that kind of "mud"; gases include air, evil spirits, miasma, etc. The rest will be left to time, and she just has to wait and see what happens.

The red fly silk fed with its own blood in the bottle lays a lot of eggs. After packing them separately, the eggs are used to feed poisonous insects such as stinging bees and scorpion tail shrimps. They are all "green orange" food.

Ever since I fed 'Green Orange' some venom from the octopus squid, eye-like patterns have grown on the striped texture of its body, making it look even weirder.

After finishing the matters that required cultivation and feeding, Lingling went to the training room and began to brew the elixir. The brewed liquid was poured into the bathtub, and he sat quietly in it to cut off the hair and wash the marrow. He was enlightened and tempered his body.

~~

In the east garden of the Royal Palace of Heishui Bingcheng in the Evernight Kingdom, a wintersweet was stuck on a half-open window sill, and sandalwood scented the room.

Dongfang Huiye was leaning on the desk chair and reading, when someone knocked twice on the door outside the house.

"Enter."

Creak! The door opened. Guard Feng walked in, bowed politely, and said: "Your Highness, Princess Minxi is back. Now she is competing with Princess Lehua in Yingqiao Garden, and she seems to be regaining her previous performance."

Hearing this, Dongfang Huiye raised his eyelids and said with a smile: "As you become famous, your temper has also increased a lot."

Tang Rouyin is a person who has helped Lingling fight countless times in recent years.

Others don't know the details, but he, as the elder brother, knows everything.

"Look at Princess Minxi's aura, it has reached its peak." Guard Feng said.

"Oh! It seems that this experience outing is very beneficial to her!"

"The princess should be here soon."

"Already here." Dongfang Huiye put down the book in his hand and sat upright.

"Brother Ye, Brother Ye..."

A voice filled with joy and excitement gradually approached from a distance. Then a cute and charming woman broke in. Seeing Dongfang Kaguya sitting on the chair, she threw herself into his arms.

"Brother Ye, Yin'er misses you so much!"

Dongfang Huiye caressed her head gently and said with a smile: "Yeah. If you can think of your brother during the days when you were wandering around with your lover, you still have some conscience." His words were playful.

"..." After hearing this, Dongfang Rouyin stiffened, raised his head and looked at Dongfang Huiye, and smiled awkwardly, "What a couple, we are good friends...Brother Ye, now Lehua's little girl is gone He is the defeated general under my command. If Brother Ye needs anything in the future, just give me orders." As he spoke, he patted his chest and felt confident.

After several years of hard work, Dongfang Rouyin has grown taller, less of her usual delicate demeanor, and more bold and free.

Dongfang Huiye raised his eyebrows, looked at this little sister with a strong "charlatan spirit", and said, "In this king's place, your words and deeds are not formal, but when you go to your father and mother, you have to pay more attention."

"I know, I know." Dongfang Rouyin nodded.

Seeing the fruit cake on the table, she let go of her hands, sat casually on the chair, crossed her legs, reached out to grab the fruit cake and ate it.

Dongfang Rouyin didn't change her mind all of a sudden because she was used to being careless outside.

"..." Dongfang Huiye shook his head helplessly and said to Guard Feng: "Go to the imperial kitchen to get some food."

Guard Feng: "Yes."

"Brother Feng, get some more good wine. Brother Ye and I are going to get drunk tonight." Dongfang Rouyin called out, frightening Guard Feng to the point of being stunned.

Seeing this, Dongfang Rouyin realized her slip of the tongue. She slapped her mouth a few times and changed her words in embarrassment: "Guard Feng, please, please."

Dongfang Huiye waved his finger lightly, and Guard Feng bowed and retreated. He poked Dongfang Rouyin's head, "More than ten years of palace rules and etiquette can't withstand the past few years. You are really good at it!"

Dongfang Rouyin stuck out her tongue, sat up straight and said, "I was wrong, I will change it."

"Okay, I won't hold you back here. You have achieved a breakthrough in cultivation. You have gained a lot from this trip. Tell me about it!"

"Okay, okay!" Dongfang Rouyin is a person who likes to share experiences, especially those he values.

……

She would not tell anyone the things she promised not to tell, but she would never lie to anyone, especially the people she valued. She just said it was confidential and could not be told. There is another thing she didn't say, that is, Lingling is a woman. Doesn’t she want to lose face?

"So he went into seclusion and you came back?"

"Yeah. Otherwise." Dongfang Rouyin nodded and said with a serious face: "I will practice in seclusion tomorrow."

"It is false to think that we are here. I think you are just forced to come back." Dongfang Huiye said calmly: "As expected, the female university will not stay!"

"Ah!" Dongfang Rouyin realized that she had said the wrong thing, she hugged her brother's hand with both hands, and gently shook her coquettishly, "It's nothing. Yin'er, I think about you every day. I will meet my father tomorrow. Emperor, mother, and then have some fun with Brother Ye and Sister Wan'er."

Dongfang Huiye nodded, "That's right. Cultivation is important, but it's also important to spend more time with the Queen Mother and Wan'er. I told them that you are practicing in Tang Songguo's uncle's fiefdom, so don't let your feet be exposed."

"Yin'er knows. No, they all have the surname Tang."

"That's right, Young Master Ling's little follower, Miss Tang Rouyin."

"Brother Ye is so good and bad, and he even makes fun of me."

~~

The wind blows past the swallows, warmth blows on the face, flowers bloom all over the mountains, and months pass in a flash.

The graceful figure in a red gauze skirt walks among the wild flowers on the mountain. The breeze blows and the fragrance of flowers overflows, as if she is drunk in this sea of ​​flowers.

"Aunt Xue..." A little girl in red ran towards her and shouted excitedly, "The elite list has changed."

Xue Chanyi finally had half a day to relax. She was enjoying the beautiful scenery when she was interrupted. She was feeling upset. After hearing this, she said "ah" in surprise.

When did this elite list change so ordinary! ! !

She turned around and asked: "Dongzi, which position has changed again this time?"

Dongzi ran to her, bent down and took a few breaths with his hands and knees, and said intermittently: "No., the first place has changed, it became, Ye, Ye Tiancheng of the Ye family, and the other rankings followed and rose accordingly."

"What!!!" Xue Chanyi's beautiful eyes widened and she asked hurriedly: "You mean that Ling Ling fell off the list?"

Dongzi nodded.

"How, how is it possible?" Xue Chanyi looked in disbelief.

This girl is smart, bold, courageous, and determined. She is very optimistic about her future.

There are only three possibilities for falling off the list: first, being killed; second, being deposed; third, blocking one's own secrets, which is also the most unlikely one.

"Where did her last information appear?" Xue Chanyi asked.

Dongzi responded: "I just went to Tianzong Pavilion and never came out again."

"..." Xue Chanyi began to analyze and murmured to herself, "If I remember correctly, the headmaster of Tianzong Pavilion and Mr. Wu accepted her as a disciple, and also gave her a treasure, which caused strange phenomena. This is a well-known thing... ...It is impossible to be harmed... Then, there is only one possibility: losing all the skills, losing cultivation, or practicing some skills, becoming obsessed, and becoming a useless person..."

Dongzi blinked her eyes, looked at Aunt Xue mumbling something to herself, and asked weakly: "Auntie, do you want to distribute this list?"

Xue Chanyi thought for a moment and said decisively: "Fat."

……

Elite list ranking in the Sky Eye List:

First place, Ye Tiancheng. The second son of the Ye family.

The second place is Dongfang Huiye, the third prince of the Evernight Kingdom.

Third place, Sikong Xihua, a disciple of Tianzong Pavilion

Fourth place, Mo Mubai, the eldest grandson of the Mo family

Fifth place, Zheng Xinyue, the chief disciple of the Holy Lady Hall

The sixth place, Hu Yanchong, casual cultivator

……

As soon as this list was released, it quickly became a chat among people from all over the world. Some people said he was a good person, while others said he was a bad person. There were different opinions in the world, with mixed praise and criticism.

Most people speculated that he was killed by his enemies; some said that he was captured by his enemies, abandoned his cultivation and became a human pig. In short, it was because of too many enemies that something unexpected happened.

There are also some rumors that his treasure is hidden in a certain mountain in a certain area, including the inheritance of Xianju Mountain, which triggered a temporary treasure hunting craze in the world of immortality.

It lasted for a long time, with countless casualties. Finally, someone discovered that it was a conspiracy and stopped the treasure hunt.

~~

In a certain restaurant, three monks were drinking and talking about this incident, and they were all angry and dissatisfied.

"Who did this? Is it really abominable?"

"Yes, it is really abominable. Two of Pindao's best friends also died in this incident."

"I heard that many sects in Jinzhaomen and Hongyibiao Bureau were wiped out. It is rumored that they all received the inheritance of Xianjushan."

"really?"

"I don't know. But I heard that people who have received the inheritance have made great progress in their cultivation. Those who have competed with Lingling say that it was the technique he practiced."

"Hey! When the truth is false, the false is also true, and when the false is true, the true is also false! We should be careful in the future."

"Yes. Rumors are really harmful!"

"Don't believe all these rumors in the future, otherwise it will be even more difficult for us casual cultivators to survive in this world of practice."

……

The conversation between the three of them was overheard by a fair man with slender eyebrows and narrow eyes at the next table. He put Wen Yin on the table, got up and left the restaurant.

"Wen Renfu, Shan Xuan, Xia Houzhan, and Jiang Mingbo are doing well with your respective actions! The master will be satisfied."

At this point, he blended in with the crowd and disappeared.
