Cinderella: The Legend of Yunhua

After parting that day, Lian Que practiced step by step as usual. Occasionally, Mo Yunhua would come to the courtyard to give advice.It is not shown here.

But Zhu Zhiling can be regarded as a hero among women.She has three spiritual roots, and she can barely be regarded as a middle-of-the-road talent, but in a giant school like Shangqingmen, all of them are elites, she seems a bit out of date.If she is as talented as she is, not to mention women, even men will find a second-rate mountain gate by themselves, and they can get some opportunities in the gate and be reused.But she was inclined to go to Hushan, because she passed three passes and cut five generals during the selection of the outer gate of Shangqingmen, and Elder Deyang's blue eyes made an exception to enter.It's just that it took a lot of hard work to get in the door. In the eyes of others, why bother?

Isn't it the karma that I planted this time when I went down the mountain to find the alchemy?

The Shangqing Gate has been passed down in Hexu Mountain for 5000 years, and there are big and small Xiuxian families and second- and third-rate sects around this place.The powerful families of these sects can still occupy the top of the mountain and hide from the world.If the strength is too weak, and you can't hold the territory, you can only move into the world and live together with ordinary people, which is what the people in the door call "Fangshi".There are two huge square markets around Shangqingmen, one is called Dongling and the other is called Xiling.

The square market is surrounded by the mountains outside the Shangqing Gate, where fish and dragons are mixed, and it is quite lively.

These small sects and cultivation families have too few resources, so they can only make a living by doing some immortal cultivation business and exchange what they need.Because the Shangqing Sect is a giant in China, it is naturally somewhat different from the surrounding markets of other sects.This place is located at the foot of Hexu Mountain, under the jurisdiction of the Shangqing Gate, orderly and orderly.Although immortals live in a mixed environment, they still have the air of an immortal family.There are also many casual cultivators living in the square city, most of them come to try their luck and find some opportunities.

The place Zhu Zhiling went to was Tanglinfang City, which was closer to the outer gate where she lived.She is quite familiar with Fangshi, because she was born in a small cultivator family and has been in and out of Fangshi since she was a child.

She went down the mountain and wandered around to a street selling elixir, found a bigger shop and went in.

The waiter in the shop was very polite when he saw that it was a monk wearing the dharma robe of an outer disciple of the Shangqing Sect.The shopkeeper came out of the store and greeted him personally.Although the person who came here was just a monk in the Qi refining period of the outer sect, in this land, no one knew the rules of the Shangqing sect.No matter who came in, they could only be disciples of the outer sect. They had to pass the inner sect competition and get approval before they could enter the inner sect.This person looks young, so he can't say that he has a bright future, so he can't offend him at will.

When Zhu Zhiling saw this man with profound and impenetrable cultivation greeted him with a smile, he knew it in his heart.If she hadn't leaned against the Shangqing Gate with her back, how could a monk at the Foundation Establishment Stage treat her so politely, she said loudly, "Shopkeeper, I'm only here to find a Foundation Establishment Pill, is there any in the store?"

The shopkeeper replied with a smile, "How precious is the Jidan, I have never had such a thing in my store."

"Then ask if you know if there is any shop in this square city that sells such a pill."

The shopkeeper said, "I'm afraid there is no one in the market to sell it. If there is, those cultivation families and small sects will also loot it."

Zhu Zhiling also knew that coming here was just to try his luck, and he couldn't take it seriously, so he was not discouraged, so he thanked him and left.

She thought that since no one sold the pill in the market, she went to find someone who could refine it, and it was the same if she gathered all the materials and asked him to help refine it.So, he turned around and went to another street shop, where there were more than a dozen shops specializing in refining pills for others.

Afterwards, she searched and asked one by one, from the street to the end of the street, no one could refine this pill, and they all said that this pill is difficult to practice, and some secret methods are not known to outsiders.Zhu Zhiling also knew very well in her heart that when she was young, she heard at home that the secret recipe of this pill was firmly in the hands of some big sects. What kind of weather.It should be noted that only when the foundation is established can one enter the threshold of the immortal family.There are so many qi refining monks, but the foundation building monks are one or two out of ten, they are dragons and phoenixes among people.

At the end of the wandering, there was only one alchemy shop left that I didn't visit.Zhu Zhiling didn't have too many plans, thinking in his heart that he couldn't do it, so he went to look elsewhere.When she entered the shop, she felt that the shop was very deserted, there was neither waiter nor customers, the shopkeeper was sitting alone in the shop, meditating, and he didn't seem to worry about not having a living at all.

Zhu Zhiling paused, coughed lightly, the shopkeeper opened his eyes and raised his head when he heard the voice, and saw a handsome woman with a bit of heroic spirit enter the store. The disciple's robe is unique.

"Excuse me, shopkeeper, can the store refine Jidan for you?" Zhu Zhiling looked at the man who was sitting cross-legged. This man didn't get up and greet him like the previous shopkeepers, but his expression remained calm, as if He didn't take her identity seriously.It would not be wrong to say that he treats people contemptuously, this man has a fierce and stubborn face, a pair of red phoenix eyes are shining brightly, thin lips are tightly pursed, a bit rebellious.

The man didn't answer Zhu Zhiling's question, but asked directly, "Daoist friend, do you know if there is a Taoist priest named Liuyun in your sect, who probably has a cultivation base out of his body."

Zhu Zhiling didn't expect that this person would inquire about the affairs of the sect as soon as he came up, and said, "The patriarch who is out of the body is not something that an outer disciple like me can inquire about at will. If he enters the sect, which real person or real emperor will he worship as his teacher?" , I can’t say that I can know something, and I’m sorry I can’t do anything now.”

The man was a little disappointed, "You want the foundation building pill just to enter the inner door?" He looked at the woman, her Qi refining was complete, it was time to hit the foundation building.The woman's aura was a bit mixed, and it looked like she wanted to use Zhuji Pill to get rid of impurities in her body.It has been less than a month since he came here, and he just learned that the Shangqing Sect still has such difficult rules.

"That's right, the contest in the sect is about to start. If I can't build a foundation, I will lose my qualification for the contest." Zhu Zhiling said.

"It's easy to say, it's a trivial matter." The man said lightly.

Zhu Zhiling was very pleasantly surprised when he heard that, this is not another village, "If that's the case, thank you first, the shopkeeper will list the materials, and I will go out and search for it, and I will give you a price, but I don't have a lot of savings. Waiting for kindness, I will definitely thank you when I have time."

The man waved his hand and smiled unfathomably, "You only need to do one thing for me, and I will give you this elixir."

Where in the world is there such a good thing, Zhu Zhiling can't help being a little wary, "What should I do?"

"It's not difficult for you, just rush into the inner door and find a master."

And such a good thing?Zhu Zhiling said silently, isn't this to fulfill me?She couldn't figure it out, but the man in front of her looked clear and bright, and he didn't look like a calculating villain.

While hesitating, the man said, "Fellow Taoist, don't be too careful. I am You Xia, the third disciple of Yuqing Zhenjun of the Xuandan Sect of the Northern Territory. You should know that my Xuandan Sect specializes in alchemy, and the mere foundation building pill is not good for me. What's the matter, I came here just to inquire about an old friend, he had been kind to me, I searched all over the Northern Territory, but I can't find him, I think he is immortal, his cultivation base is high, he must be a nobleman Which of them is a master of Taoism?" The person who spoke was You Xia who didn't say anything about Shanyi that day. Zhenjun Yuqing appreciated it, and accepted him as a personal disciple.A few years ago, he succeeded in building the foundation, and True Lord Yuxu sent him out to practice, so he thought about looking for old benefactors while traveling.

The reason why You Xia didn't mention Lian Que to Zhu Zhiling at this moment was because when the two met, Lian Que's body was stained with demon energy, and a pair of magic pupils were exposed.He reckoned which school Liuyun was an expert immortal cultivator, since Lian Que was his son, he also had those strange red pupils, so he naturally concealed it more and didn't want to make it public, so he kept his mouth shut and missed it all the time. An opportunity to inquire from Zhu Zhiling.

Seeing that Zhu Zhiling was dubious, You Xia showed the identity plate of Xuandanmen.

After careful investigation, Zhu Zhiling knew that the words were true, and said respectfully, "I just laughed at you. If that's the case, what did you ask me to do?"

You Xia said, "If you successfully enter the inner door, help me find out if there is a senior named Liu Yun in your door."

Zhu Zhiling said, "If you dare to ask me if you know this senior's dharma name, most of the ancestors in my family use their dharma name to show people."

"He never told me about this back then. I have a jade slip here, and inside it is his portrait that I burned with my spiritual sense. Just take it. When the time comes for the big competition in the gate, he might come to watch the competition. You Just help me find out a thing or two." Saying that, You Xia took out a jade slip and handed it to Zhu Zhiling.

Zhu Zhiling took the jade slips and probed into his consciousness, only to see a handsome young man in the jade slips, dressed in a plain toga, with a long body and a tall figure, smiling lightly, it was from You Xia's memory left cloud images.Zhu Zhiling secretly praised Liu Yun for his extraordinary appearance, and said, "I've made a note, if you get into the big competition in the door, I will help you find out carefully, maybe this senior is in my door."

"If that's the case, it's great!" You Xia laughed loudly, "I see that your body is complicated, without the foundation building pill, the possibility of success is too small. Building the foundation pill is not difficult. My sect is in charge of alchemy, and this kind of medicine is not a problem. Excuse me. It’s just that I didn’t bring this elixir with me when I was traveling. You need to find the spirit grass first, and I will refine it for you, but it will take some time.”

Zhu Zhiling was overjoyed and nodded repeatedly.

You Xia then took out a jade slip, and engraved the required spirit grass on the jade slip, "Go out and look for it now, if you really can't find it, you can go to the Xianke Building in Fangshi to post a reward notice, Soon someone will find it for you."

Zhu Zhiling got the order and left in a hurry. Right now, she didn't want to delay even a minute.

It has been three years since You Xia established his foundation, and he has been traveling around for three years. In the past three years, he has searched all kinds of sects in the northern region, but he has not been able to see Liu Yun's real body. How are you?

Thinking of the many immortal sects in the Eastern Territory, he had no choice but to come here, transform into a casual cultivator, and hide himself in the market of the Shangqing Gate.Because of Lian Que, it is not good for him to visit directly at home, for fear of causing inconvenience to stay in the cloud, leaking the old story of Lian Que's body being infected with demonic energy, and all kinds of entanglements in his heart.Fortunately, I found an opportunity right now to inquire about it without anyone noticing.

It's just that there are still seven years left in the Shangqing Sect Inner Sect Grand Competition, and the ten-year training period agreed between You Xia and his master happens to only have seven years left, so I don't know if it will be too late.

He remembered the words Liu Yun stood above the clouds when he parted that day, "Call me Liu Yun, don't worry about small things, if there is a destiny, we will meet again."

……

Liu Yun's voice and smile, as if he was a banished immortal, could not be dissipated in You Xia's heart for a long time, so much so that he was about to form a thought - that he must find Liu Yun and Lian Que's younger brother, in order to repay the kindness of knowing him back then.

"Senior Liuyun, did you expect that I would look for you in the future, and that's why you said that?"

……

You Xiawu muttered to himself.

On the other side, Zhu Zhiling worked hard, spent more than two years and finally gathered all the materials needed to refine the Foundation Establishment Pill, and came to You Xia's shop as promised.

You Xia is a straightforward person, without further ado, he immediately set up the furnace to make alchemy, seven or seventy-nine days later, the furnace was turned on, and two bright and plump green elixir came out, and it was done.

Holding the pill, Zhu Zhiling was quite excited, unable to speak for a long time.She has adhered to the Dao so far, and all kinds of hardships are not humane, but because of her spiritual root aptitude, she may be stuck at the completion of Qi refining, unable to enter the threshold of the fairy family, why not teach her hardships and embarrassments.Right now, she is holding these two Foundation Establishment Pills tightly, and the blockage in her heart has disappeared immediately, and her mood has become more stable.She solemnly thanked her, and promised that if she entered the Grand Competition, she would pay close attention to that senior Liu Yun.

You Xia took out a jade talisman, "This is a letter talisman. No matter what the result is after the big competition in the door, you will send a letter to me. This talisman can be used after you activate your true energy after building the foundation."

Zhu Zhiling nodded, "Fellow Daoist, I will remember the kindness of rebuilding in my heart, so I will bid farewell first."

"It's up to you."

After all, the two parted.Zhu Zhiling walked straight to the mountain gate, You Xia thought that this matter was over, and decided to travel elsewhere.
