Master, you go first!

Lin Miaoxun and Lu Qian are both at the ninth level of the late stage of elixir formation. They have a good chance of breaking through to Nascent Soul. Even if they fail to break through, they won't be too far behind. Only Qi Jingtai is still at the eighth level of pill formation, and he has just been promoted. It seems that it is a bit difficult to reach the ninth level. After all, the practice after pill formation is much slower, and the techniques practiced by several people are relatively ordinary. Gu Jiujiu has only reached the sixth level of body refining. The first level of refining is much faster now, and he has great hope of breaking through to foundation building.

As for Xiaobai, she has adapted to it in the past few days and is ready to start practicing. However, she does not understand the human race's cultivation methods. In the end, Xu Yuhong gave her a little encouragement and tried to practice from the simplest.

As a result, after three days, Xiaobai broke through to the third level. Gu Jiu was speechless. How could a random person practice faster than him? No, even a demon could practice faster than him.

On the twentieth day of training, Gu Jiu finally reached the seventh level of body training. It seemed that there was no hope of reaching the foundation building. But it's okay, he improved his cultivation by two levels once he came in, he comforted himself. However, Xiao Bai had directly reached the fifth level of body training. Gu Jiu continued to comfort himself. It must be that the first five levels of body training were easier to practice. Looking at himself, it was much harder to go from the fifth level to the seventh level.

After six days of brushing up on the book, plus twenty days of cultivation, the total time in the secret realm has been twenty-six days. Counting the days, the Chinese New Year will be celebrated outside in two days. Gu Jiu didn't really want to celebrate the New Year in a secret realm. Thinking about his previous life in 996, and now he has to work overtime to celebrate the New Year here, he really has no time to cultivate. Just told Xu Yuhong,

"Master, why don't we go back? The Chinese New Year is only two days away. It would be great to go back to the sect to celebrate the Chinese New Year. Let's eat hot pot like in previous years."

"Uh, is it so fast? That's fine." Xu Yuhong thought it would be good to go back. Although the cultivation environment here is good, he can't improve much. When his spiritual roots have not been fully recovered, the cultivation speed is also extremely slow.

So Xu Yuhong asked the other three people for their opinions, but they couldn't reach an agreement. Qi Jingtai and the others all wanted to stay in the secret realm until the end of time before coming out. After all, they, the old monks who formed the elixir, had little regard for things in the mortal world, and such an opportunity was relatively rare. In the past, there was no way to celebrate the New Year. Sometimes they would practice in the sect. For them, it was just another place to practice.

As for Xiaobai, he has no idea at all. Whatever his senior brother and ancestor say is whatever he says. Xu Yuhong is more open-minded now, and cultivation is not just for a while. So the last three elders stayed in the secret realm to continue harvesting wool, while the three new Danfeng treasures left the secret realm and prepared to go back to collect all the four Danfeng treasures.

Before leaving the secret realm, Xiao Bai advanced one more level to the sixth level of body refining, which was only one level away from Gu Jiu. Gu Jiu completely broke through his defense.

"Xiao Bai, are you secretly hiding some elixir to improve your cultivation? Ah, ah, how could it be possible to improve so quickly. There is something wrong with you, there is definitely something wrong with you."

"No way, it's just normal cultivation. Maybe I'm originally a pill demon, so it will be easy to improve after I transform. Senior brother, do you think it makes sense?"

"Well, it's not impossible." Gu Jiu touched her chin and reassured herself. It must be like what Xiaobai said, otherwise it wouldn't make sense.

"Hey, senior brother, how big is our Danfeng? How many people are there? Are there any demon cultivators like me who have transformed themselves?" Seeing that Gu Jiu was no longer crazy, Xiaobai immediately transformed into a curious baby.

"Xiao Bai, can you turn back into a fox?" Gu Jiu asked.

"Okay, what's wrong?" Xiaobai asked in confusion.

"Then you turn back into a fox and I'll tell you." Gu Jiu said with certainty in her eyes.

"Oh, okay." Xiaobai said and turned into a white fox.

"Damn, it's such a big one. Can you make it a little smaller? It'll be as big as this." Gu Jiu gestured with his hands to make a distance of about fifty or sixty centimeters.

Xiao Bai nodded and shrunk the fox's body, which was originally close to two meters, to the size Gu Jiu said.

Gu Jiu bent down and grabbed Xiao Bai, and hung it around his neck from behind, "Well, the fox fur collar is very warm. Master, let's go."

Xiaobai rolled his eyes at Gu Jiu's shoulder. This guy just tricked me into keeping him warm. The little fox couldn't bear it anymore, couldn't bear it anymore, forget it, let's just bear it for a while.

……

Xu Yuhong took Gu Jiu with his flying sword, and Gu Jiu carried Xiao Bai, and the three of them returned to Danfeng. At this time, Danfeng has changed a lot. Except for the main hall and a few places that need to be built with high floors, everything else has been basically completed. Looking at the flat ground, the small square in front of the main hall, the flower beds, the pool, etc., Xu Yuhong was quite pleasantly surprised.

The craftsman team had finished work yesterday and went back to celebrate the New Year. After the New Year, they will come to finish building a few buildings. If it is truly completed, it will only take about half a month to work. After all, there are more than 100 construction teams of 5, plus more people. With the help of monks, the speed is quite good.

Xiaobai looked at Danfeng and liked it very much. Everything was new, but a few places had not yet been capped. She asked,

"Senior brother, why are those places half-sized?"

"Then we have to finish it in the new year. The craftsmen could only do this before the new year. They went back to celebrate the New Year." Gu Jiu said, while carrying Xiao Bai around to look around, very satisfied.

"Master, you are back." At this time, Shen Nian walked out from the back of the hall. The craftsmen finished their work very late yesterday, and Shen Nian did not look carefully at the place they finished. Today she was the only one left in Danfeng, so she just walked around and visited her new home. Behind the main hall, Gu Jiu asked craftsmen to build two rows of small courtyards, thinking that they could be used for housing new disciples in the future. Shen Nian just went to the small courtyard and took a stroll.

"Well, I'm back, girl." Xu Yuhong nodded.

"Wow, this fox is so cute," Shen Niancai noticed that Gu Jiu was carrying a fox on his shoulder, "Gujiu, did you catch this? Can we keep such a cute fox? Don't eat fox meat."

"..." When Xiaobai heard this, he immediately felt bad. Senior brother also eats fox meat. He must be perverted.

Gu Jiu sneered and laughed, "If you don't want to eat it, it won't taste good."

"Come on, play with me." Shen Nian couldn't help but want to go up and lick Xiaobai.

Xiaobai jumped down from Gu Jiu's shoulder, and then a burst of pink mist swirled up from his feet, transforming into a little lolita.

"This..." Shen Nian was confused for a moment, "Why have you turned into a child?"

"Hahaha, master, this is the little apprentice I have accepted for you," Gu Jiu laughed, "Xiao Bai, Xu Yibai."

"Oh, that's it." Shen Nian blinked Kazilan's big eyes and looked at Xiaobai curiously.

"I haven't met the master yet." Gu Jiu's head popped to Xiao Bai's head.

"Oh, disciple Xu Yibai, meet the master." Xiaobai came back to his senses and bowed.

"No gifts, no gifts, just do whatever you want in our Danfeng." Shen said, "Xiao Bai, can you..."
