The beauty of this deity is the best in the world of self-cultivation

Ye Shangqiu raised his eyes and glanced at him, his expression slightly startled, then he immediately came back to his senses, and calmly replied: "No."

The young man let out a low laugh, and walked over, "Master is so ruthless, it really makes this disciple sad."

Four years is enough for an immature boy to grow into a real man.The black hair of the young man in a monk's robe was like a waterfall, scattered behind him, his slightly squinted eyes were quiet and deep, and his light-colored thin lips raised a nice curve.

The young man in front of him looked both strange and familiar.A little baby fat from her youth has been shed, replaced by sharp lines.Foxiu's innate sense of compassion blended with his inadvertently revealed sharp aura, turning into a strange feeling like ice and snow in March.

He walked over with a smile, lightly grasped Ye Shangqiu's wrist, and slowly stroked it with his knuckle fingers: "When I was inside, I always missed Master."

Ye Shangqiu looked at him quietly.Then suddenly raised his hand and patted his face: "Are you awake?"

Shang Yuci was taken aback for a moment, then looked down at Ye Shangqiu thoughtfully: "Hmm..."

He is slightly taller than Ye Shangqiu now.Looking at Ye Shangqiu from this angle...

Shang Yuci let go of Ye Shangqiu's wrist, and turned to rub Ye Shangqiu's hair.

It was about the same touch as he had imagined... even better.

No wonder Ye Shangqiu liked to rub his hair so much before.

There was a subtle smile on Shang Yuci's mouth, and before Ye Shangqiu's cold eyes stared at him, he put down his hand calmly: "This disciple loses his composure for a while, please don't blame Master."

His expression was very sincere, Ye Shangqiu's shadow was reflected in his dark and deep pupils, and there was a subtle smile.

Ye Shangqiu frowned slightly, pursed his lips and looked at him lightly.

Shang Yuci was not afraid at all, and even smiled back at him sweetly.

Ye Shangqiu: "..."

"How is your cultivation now?" Ye Shangqiu already knew the temperament of his cheap apprentice, so he didn't follow Shang Yuci's script at this time, and asked about the results of his breakthrough this time.

Shang Yuci felt a little regretful, and after a dark sigh, he restrained himself a bit, and replied softly, "It's already broken through to the middle stage of Yinshen."

After advancing to Yinshen, the time it takes to break through each small realm increases geometrically. Compared with those monks who have been stuck for decades in the early stage of Yinshen and advanced to the middle stage of Yinshen, Shang Yu It only took four short years to say goodbye, and he can already be called a genius.

Although Ye Shangqiu had already guessed it, but when Shangshang Yuci smiled and looked over, he still praised silently: "Not bad."

Shang Yuci raised his eyebrows slightly: "As long as Master is satisfied."

Ye Shangqiu: "..."

Ha ha.

Losing his cute appearance when he was a teenager, the Demon Lord who called wind and rain in his previous life had just woken up from his practice this time, and was indifferently dragged away by his master... holding a jade shovel to fertilize the elixir.

Shang Yuci looked at the jade shovel that Ye Shangqiu stuffed for him, and then at the low-level elixir with green branches and leaves: "...Master?"

What is this for? ? ?

Ye Shangqiu raised his eyes and glanced at him lightly: "Fertilize."

Shang Yuci: "..." I know you are asking me to fertilize, but why is he qualified for the role of fertilizing elixir as soon as he comes out of retreat?

Probably because he stayed there for too long, after Ye Shangqiu dug up the soil near the root of a elixir plant, and poured the elixir he had prepared into it to bury it, Ye Shangqiu finally raised his head, his voice He asked calmly, "No?"

Shang Yuci shook his head with complicated emotions, and said with difficulty: "No..."

He sighed, leaned over and squatted down, carefully dug up the root of a elixir plant with a jade shovel, imitating Ye Shangqiu's movements, and poured three or four drops of the elixir in his hand.

The emerald-green spiritual liquid disappears as soon as it enters the soil, and the fresh fragrance is mixed with the moist smell of the soil. Shang Yuci used a jade shovel to push back the dug-out soil, and looked at Ye Shangqiu, who was constantly moving beside him, I also think... not bad.

The elixir after absorbing the elixir seemed to be more radiant, the green color was hanging on the branches, and the curled vines began to stretch, showing a thriving look.

The medicine garden is not big, and only the most common yellow-grade elixir is planted in it. One by one, they are rooted in the moist black soil. No one knows what Ye Shangqiu does with them.

Maybe it was really like what he said, he was cultivating his own elixir.

Two young monks who could be called Master and Venerable outside were carefully tending the elixir in this small garden.When Shang Yuci dripped the spiritual liquid on the last elixir and stood up holding the jade shovel, he finally couldn't help leaning forward, sticking to Ye Shangqiu's back, and whispered: "Master... ..."

Ye Shangqiu held the jade shovel, felt the weight behind his back, and calmly considered whether he should fight back and give Shang Yuci a shovel.

Shang Yuci's smiling voice sounded in Ye Shangqiu's ear: "Master ignores the disciple, do you want to give the disciple a shovel?"

The young man's voice was no longer clear and clear as a teenager, but a little more deep and magnetic, gently echoing in his ears, shaking Ye Shangqiu's ear tips reddish.

"Get up." Ye Shangqiu said bluntly.

Shang Yuci rubbed his chin on Ye Shangqiu's shoulder, and then he straightened up as he said: "I haven't seen you for a few years, but Master treats his disciples much colder."

Could it be that he was indifferent, dragged him to fertilize the elixir as soon as he left the customs, and didn't care much about him...

His tone was aggrieved. A tall young man with long hands and feet stood there with his eyes downcast, giving off a pitiful and cute feeling like an abandoned animal.

Ye Shangqiu: "..."

The gaze of the handyman next to him had become a little subtle, and Ye Shangqiu led Shang Yuci who was aggrieved like a dog expressionlessly, and walked into the hall.

Shang Yuci's eyes fell on the palm of Ye Shangqiu's hand holding his wrist, the smooth and slender fingers seemed to be carefully carved from beautiful jade, without any flaws.

It must have been a long time since we saw each other, and he really missed his master a little bit.

Ye Shangqiu pulled him back into the main hall. As soon as he entered the door, Shang Yuci's wrist was loosened by him, and then there were many miscellaneous things in his arms.

Jade bottles of different colors and textures piled up and made a crisp crashing sound. Shang Yuci reflexively held them in his hand and looked up at Ye Shangqiu.

Ye Shangqiu: "...This is for you during your four years of retreat."

Shang Yuci paused when he heard the words, and a smile appeared on his face.He lowered his head and glanced at the jade bottle in his arms, and suddenly said: "So in the past four years, Master has been thinking about this disciple, right?"

He picked up one of the jade bottles, opened it and smelled it, and the clear elixir fragrance was light and flowing, which was a kind of elixir that was in line with his current cultivation level.

Ye Shangqiu frowned slightly: "It's just waiting for you to come out and test the medicine."

With a smile on his face, Shang Yuci didn't argue with him, slowly put those jade bottles into the storage ring, and kept saying yes.

Ye Shangqiu pursed her lips: "..."

He kind of wanted to hang Shang Yuci up and beat him up.

But in the end Taiqingzong's core disciple, Ye Shangqiu, the extremely gorgeous Master Yuxiao, still failed to hang up his rebel and beat him up.Not only because the traitor is taller than him now, and his cultivation base is also stronger than him, but also because Tianjun Yaoling heard that his unnamed disciple came out of the retreat and broke through a small realm, so he sent someone Come over and ask Ye Shangqiu to take Shang Yuci over there.

They used to fertilize the elixir pine soil in the medicine garden. Although the robes on their bodies were impermeable and spotless, Ye Shangqiu and Shang Yuci changed into another robes in order to show their respect for the God of Medicine Spirit. Only then rushed to the Hall of Medicine Spirit.

"Shangqiu, Yu Ci, you are here." Yao Ling sat on the main seat, looked at Ye Shangqiu and Shang Yuci who came in from the door, and said with a smile on his face.

Ye Shangqiu and Shang Yuci made a disciple salute to him: "The disciple has met Tianjun."

Yao Ling gently raised his hand, and with a gentle force, he lifted their bodies up: "How many times have I told you, Shang Qiu really doesn't need to be so restrained."

As he spoke, he tapped his finger lightly, and two jade chairs appeared behind Ye Shangqiu and Shang Yuci: "Sit down first."

Ye Shangqiu thanked Yao Ling, then sat down on the chair and asked, "Tianjun asked the disciple to come, but what's the matter?"

Yao Ling didn't expect Ye Shangqiu to be so perceptive, and nodded quickly after a slight pause: "Yes, this matter has something to do with both of you."

"You are the new disciples recruited by the sect last time. Now four years have passed. Next year, the two of you will have to accept the examination belonging to the disciples of the inner sect." Big fluctuations, I feel a little satisfied in my heart.

The assessment of inner sect disciples is not difficult, but it is not easy to say.Compared with the assessment that he had to undergo when he first entered the sect, the assessment for the disciples of the Inner Sect is only to ask the disciple to go to the Shangong Hall to receive a task that matches his current state, and to complete that task is to pass the assessment.

But with the identity of core disciples like Ye Shangqiu, the tasks they receive will be somewhat different from ordinary disciples of the inner sect—this is also an attitude of the sect, since you have obtained more resources than ordinary disciples , better treatment, then you have to show a more outstanding ability than ordinary disciples.

As core disciples, the tasks that Ye Shangqiu and the others will receive are also determined according to their cultivation level, but the difficulty of those tasks is completely different from the tasks received by ordinary inner sect disciples.

Many of the core disciples in the sect have fought all the way up from ordinary inner sect disciples. After undergoing the assessment of inner sect disciples, they can be regarded as having some confidence in the assessment of core disciples and can treat each other calmly.But Yao Ling considered that Ye Shangqiu had been accepted as a core disciple by him when he first entered the sect, so he was a little worried that he didn't know much about this aspect, so that something went wrong during the assessment, and he also heard that Shang Yuci had started a practice retreat. After waking up, he called the two of them over and planned to explain it to them carefully.

"The assessment tasks for these core disciples are all personally formulated by the elders of the Neizong. Now that you two are one Nascent Soul and the other Yinshen, the tasks you need to take on are also corresponding Nascent Soul Realm tasks and Yinshen Realm tasks." He said, Yao Ling waved his hand, and suddenly a beam of spiritual light shot out from his sleeve. When he got close to Ye Shangqiu and Shang Yuci, he split into two and fell into their hands.

"Here are some tasks selected by the teacher for you. The difficulty is just suitable for the two of you to practice. Let's take a look first and choose one."

Ye Shangqiu responded and opened the scroll.Dozens of missions are recorded in the scroll, such as "clearing the demon beasts in Fumo Mountain", "finding ten vine blood plants", "capturing the bloodthirsty cultivator who killed dozens of disciples of the inner sect"... and so on. They were all tasks that were difficult but would not cause him to die directly.

Yao Ling Tianjun really put his mind to it.Next to each task, there are a few lines of small words, which describe the general situation of this task, so that Ye Shangqiu can distinguish the key points of this task as quickly as possible.

Ye Shangqiu carefully read these missions and those small characters, and then his eyes stayed on one of them.

That mission was quite inconspicuous among a bunch of missions, but Ye Shangqiu took a closer look and became a little interested——

Explore the mysteries of the Flame Beast.

The Flame Beast Secret Realm is a small secret realm that was accidentally formed thousands of years ago. The reason why it is called the Flame Beast Secret Realm is because in this secret realm, a monster that has never been seen before was born in this secret realm. Flame, like a demon spirit condensed from thousands of fires, is called a flame beast.And the secret realm where the flame beasts gather and multiply is naturally called the flame beast secret realm.

The Flame Beast Secret Realm has only been opened twice since it was formed. It has strong spiritual energy and abundant resources. However, because the opening time was too short, the disciples sent by Taiqingzong at that time only explored around the periphery, but did not really penetrate into it. In the depths of the Flame Beast Mystery Realm.

And counting the days, the third opening of the Flame Beast Secret Realm is also next year—the time when Ye Shangqiu and Shang Yuci will accept the core disciple assessment.

Shang Yuci noticed Ye Shangqiu's gaze stopped, and with a sweep of his consciousness, he took the contents of the scroll in Ye Shangqiu's hand into his eyes.

Flame Beast Secret Realm...

He glanced at the scroll in his hand, and lightly stroked one of the tasks with his fingertips.

"Master, did you choose to explore the secret realm?" Shang Yuci closed the scroll in his hand, raised his chin and leaned on Ye Shangqiu's shoulder, and asked in a low voice.

Yao Ling heard the words and also looked over.

Ye Shangqiu raised his eyes slightly, glanced sideways at Shang Yuci, and then said "hmm" in a low voice: "I'm just a little interested."

Yao Ling thought for a moment, then asked, "But the task of exploring the secret realm of the Flame Beast?"

Ye Shangqiu: "Exactly."

Yao Ling nodded: "The Flame Beast Secret Realm has only been formed for more than a thousand years, and the resources inside are considered abundant. Especially the Flame Beast, which is unique in the secret realm, has a great use for its flesh and blood beast core, so it is a good place to go."

"However..." Since it is said to be exploring a secret realm, it is naturally because the sect does not have much information about this secret realm, and the disciples need to supplement it.Under normal circumstances, disciples who choose to explore the secret realm will invite a few familiar Taoist friends to go with them, so that they can take care of them when encountering unknown dangers.

Ye Shangqiu has only been in the Taiqing sect for only four years, and although he has met many senior brothers and sisters, but because his cultivation has lagged behind a lot for the time being, he can't invite them for the task of exploring the secret realm.

Shang Yuci saw Ye Shangqiu's frown slightly, and smiled slightly: "If the master chooses the task of exploring the secret realm, how can the disciple not accompany the master?"

He put the scroll in Ye Shangqiu's hand and slowly opened it, revealing the neat words inside——

"Among the disciple's assessment tasks, there is also a task of exploring the secret realm of the flame beast. You should go with the master."

The author has something to say:

I originally wanted to write enough for 4000 updates, but because I had to drive in the morning, I wrote more than [-]. After Yuan Yuan returned home, it will be stable and updated to [-], okay?

Yuyu: Before, the master always thought the disciple was too small, but now the master has a look, is the disciple big enough?

Qiuqiu: ...

Yuyu: Quickly tell me, Master, is this disciple old or not?

Qiuqiu (expressionless): ...you come here.

Yuyu:?

First of all, use the bait Ye Qiuqiu to lead out and catch the pippi fish, tie it up with spirit vines, whip it until the meat is firm and tender, then add chopped green onion, coriander, shredded ginger, soy sauce, spirit ginseng spirit wine to marinate according to personal taste, put in Steam it in a cage until it is half-cooked, add oil to the boil, and fry it until the color is golden and the fragrance is so strong that the Yaoling Tianjun next door is crying

Yuyu: Hey, it turns out that Master still likes to play bundled games

Qiuqiu: ...
