Rebirth: Holding on to the golden thigh and showing off

Everyone looked at Xuan Qingli nervously and recited scriptures silently.

The last bolt of lightning struck him as we watched, and it felt like a mountain collapsing and the earth splitting apart.

After the dark clouds gradually faded away, rain and dew fell from the sky, nourishing the earth, and the golden elixir was formed.

A ray of Buddha's light shone on Xuan Qingli, the Buddha's bones appeared, and the Dharma was boundless.

The entire Buddhist sect was covered in rain and dew. The spiritual plants in the medicine fields bloomed better, the disciples' cultivation increased, and some of the elders' hidden injuries were healed.

"Namo Amitabha..." Countless praises came from all directions.

During this period, rain, dew and spiritual energy all poured towards me. Thanks to Xuan Qingli, I am now in the late stage of foundation building.

"Qingli, not bad, a Jindan practitioner who is less than a hundred years old." Master Chen Yuan laughed happily.

Other elders also congratulated him, saying that the better the Buddhist disciples are, the better our Buddhist sect will be.

Xuan Qingli and I followed Master Chen Yuan back to his courtyard.

"Master, the cold poison in my body seems to have weakened." Xuan Qingli stretched out his hand.

Master Chen Yuan held his hand and felt his pulse, carefully checking the condition of his body. "It's just an illusion. We still need to find the Ten Thousand Year Fire Marrow and Fire Essence."

Then he looked at me and said, "Xiao Wei, your Wood Essence can only be used in the Buddhist Sect."

"I know, money should not be shown in public." The situation just now was urgent, and I had no choice but to take it out.

"Qingli, the Heroes Tournament, which takes place once every 100 years, will begin in 20 years. You must prepare well."

"I plan to go down the mountain to gain some experience, and will be there on time when the competition starts." Xuan Qingli told us about his next plans.

"I will go wherever you go." I was very happy that I could finally leave the Buddhist sect.

"Remember to get enough of Xiaowei's Holy Spirit Water before you leave. Don't stop." Master Chen Yuan reminded us and took out a storage bag for Xuan Qingli.

"Thank you, Master. I will be ready to go down the mountain in two days." Xuan Qingli took me away.

I haven't seen him for a few months. "What is the Heroes Contest?"

"Each sect sends out powerful disciples to compete in the competition. The top three will receive rewards. There will be individual, double, and team competitions. This year's competition will be held in the Yiyang Sect."

"Ah, Yiyang Sect!" Isn't that Chu Yan's sect? I need to observe carefully whether she has any connection with the demon clan and the magic array in my body.

"Yes, you should pack up well in the next two days. It's just you and me for this training."

His hair fluttered slightly in the wind, making my face a little itchy, "Got it."

I got up when it was just light and rushed to Weitian Temple as soon as possible.

"Elder Minghui, I will be going down the mountain in two days. Can you help me make a batch of cakes? I will give you spirit stones." I immediately took out a pile of high-quality spirit stones from the small space and placed them on the table.

Elder Minghui accepted it with a smile, "Xiaowei, what kind of cakes do you want, and how much?"

"Osmanthus cake, white sugar cake, sesame cake, flower cake..." I named more than twenty kinds of cakes in one breath, and lowered my head a little embarrassedly.

"As for the quantity, one will be enough to fill the water tank in the back kitchen. Not much." It's indeed not much. Xuan Qingli and I will be gone for such a long time, so we have to prepare more things.

“Fill the water tank?!” Elder Minghui asked me again uncertainly.

"Yes, enough to fill the water tank. Can you give it to me tomorrow?" I looked at him expectantly.

“Yes,” Elder Minghui assured me.

"Then I'll come and get it tomorrow. Thank you for your hard work, Elder Huiming." I jumped and left Weitian Temple.

Elder Huiming looked at my jumping figure, a drop of sweat slid down his forehead, and hurriedly issued the sect task of making pastries.

Many disciples signed up, and worked hard to make so many cakes only to be worth one point, and they all complained that Elder Huiming was stingy.

"Xuan Qingli, when will we go down the mountain tomorrow?" I just came back from the Holy Spirit Pool.

"We will set off at 9:00 p.m. tomorrow." Xuan Qingli was sorting out pills, with the full bottles piled on the table.

"What about my Holy Spirit water?"

On the table are some Qi-replenishing pills, blood-replenishing pills, and detoxification pills, but they are of different levels.

"I will ask Elder Mingyang for the spirit storage bottle later. The Holy Spirit Water needs to be stored in a specific container." His hands were constantly busy.

I watched him busy all the time. His hands were white with distinct joints, and his fingertips were slightly red, as if they were painted with rouge.

I was stunned. This person's hands were so beautiful.

Xuan Qingli chuckled, "What delicious food are you thinking about? The corners of your mouth are sparkling."

I wiped the corner of my mouth hurriedly, my face flushed, "I'm not thinking about anything."

"Let's go, let's go find Elder Mingyang."

Now Xuan Qingli put me on his shoulders very consciously. When he thought of me looking at his hands, he drooled and his whole face turned light pink.

"Xiaowei, are you feeling unwell?" He thought with his hand still on my forehead.

I dodged it, "It's okay, it's okay, I just felt a little stuffy, but I feel much better now."

We filled ten bottles of Holy Spirit water at the Holy Spirit Pool and placed them in my small space.

On the way back to the yard, I met Qing Si. He had just returned from the foot of the mountain today.

"Your Highness." Qing Si handed a brocade bag to Xuan Qingli.

"Qing Si, you go back to Qinglong Country first. Xiao Wei and I will go to train. Then you and Senior Brother Yun Jin will set off for the Heroic Competition."

"But, Your Highness, I want to be with you." Qing Si said anxiously.

"Qing Si, I have a task for you." Xuan Qingli handed Qing Si a piece of paper.

After Qing Si opened it and read it, he never mentioned again about training with us.

"Xiaowei, these are for you." Qing Si took out a bag of sweets and gave them to me, introducing them to me one by one: "Tanghulu, sugar figurines, hawthorn cake..."

He said I would eat the same thing, it was delicious, and I would buy a lot more when I go down the mountain.

Qing Si hurriedly came to the Buddhist Sect and then hurried back to Qinglong Kingdom.

"Have a good rest, we'll leave tomorrow." Xuan Qingli said goodbye to me and returned to the room.

I am looking forward to going down the mountain tomorrow, but I am reluctant to leave the leisurely life in the Buddhist sect.

Looking at the stars in the night sky, we are all just a tiny part of this world, and we have to find our way forward on our own. The demons are really coming back, so we need to improve our skills to fight them!

Before I knew it, I arrived at Weitian Courtyard and fell asleep under the red flower tree in the back kitchen.

Elder Minghui, who had woken up early, saw me immediately and said, "Xiaowei, you don't have to wait here so early."

I was awakened by the sound and said in a daze, "No, I just happened to be here, really, I'm not guarding here."

It's really hard to explain no matter how I explain it. I really don't have any.

"Come in." Elder Minghui opened the door to the back kitchen, and the aroma of pastries wafted towards them.

The table was filled with cakes and pastries. “Is that enough?”

"Enough." I answered while pretending, but my eyes were fixed on the big white steamed buns.

"You foodie, you can take these big white buns too." Elder Minghui said helplessly.

I returned from Weitianyuan with a full load. Xuan Qingli was already waiting for me at the Mountain Gate Hall. "Have you got everything?"

"Okay, don't we need to say goodbye to Master Chen Yuan?" I looked at Fubei Temple behind me.

"No, let's go."

Under the gaze of the scorching sun, we went down the mountain.
