The next day, Qing Xuanzi returned to the courtyard with Rong Jiaojiao and Ziling. Looking at the small medicinal herb garden in the courtyard, he smiled and said, "I didn't expect Jiaojiao to have actually planted so many spiritual herbs."

Rong Jiaojiao nodded, a little proudly saying, "Master, Jiaojiao can already refine mid-grade pills."

Qing Xuanzi smiled and, after taking a seat in the hall, said, "Jiaojiao, you've done very well. Now tell your master what you've done these past few years and where your cultivation has progressed."

Rong Jiaojiao shook her head: "Master, my spiritual consciousness is full now. How about I treat you first, and then I'll tell you slowly after the treatment?"

Seeing her determined look, Qing Xuanzi knew she wouldn't back down if he disagreed, so he smiled and nodded in agreement.

Rong Jiaojiao smiled slyly, and her divine sense slowly surged out of her sea of ​​consciousness, beginning to cast a soul healing spell on him.

Qing Xuanzi closed his eyes slightly, feeling Rong Jiaojiao's divine sense power slowly flowing into his sea of ​​consciousness.

Although the force was not strong, it carried a warmth and comfort, giving him a slight sense of relief.

When her spiritual power was almost exhausted, Rong Jiaojiao stopped and looked at Qing Xuanzi's face, asking, "Master, how are you feeling?"

Qing Xuanzi slightly opened his eyes, sensed his sea of ​​consciousness, and said, "I feel much better. The pain in my sea of ​​consciousness has lessened considerably."

Rong Jiaojiao grinned happily: "That's good, Master. You must persevere. I believe you will fully recover soon."

Qing Xuanzi nodded: "I know, with you here, I will definitely get better."

"Alright, now tell your master, what have you been doing these past few years?"

Rong Jiaojiao said worriedly, "Master, why don't you rest first, and I'll talk to you after you've rested?"

Qing Xuanzi waved his hand. His head was throbbing, and he couldn't possibly rest properly. He'd rather find something to distract himself.

Seeing that he didn't want to rest, Rong Jiaojiao told him about some of her experiences.

When she talked about her going to the lake to catch fish fry, Qing Xuanzi couldn't help but smile.

When she mentioned buying medicinal herbs to plant, Qing Xuanzi nodded with satisfaction. He even asked, "Did you manage to grow the Jade Lotus and Golden Silk Grass?"

Mentioning this, Rong Jiaojiao became even more proud. She nodded repeatedly and said, "They all survived. Not only did they survive, but they also grew into a small patch. Even the Golden Marrow Lotus survived, but they are growing very slowly."

As he spoke, he tossed out two large wooden basins. Although the golden lotus inside was thriving, it had only produced a few leaves and hadn't even grown any flower buds.

Qing Xuanzi laughed and said, "They are already growing fast. Take good care of them. When they reach the age of a hundred, you can use lotus root to strengthen your physical body."

Rong Jiaojiao nodded, put the Golden Marrow Lotus into the small secret realm, and then continued to tell her master about her experiences.

When the topic turned to Jun Yuangui's strange behavior, Qing Xuanzi frowned and said, "This person is definitely not a good-for-nothing, and is very likely a prodigy like you."

"As for the things he forced you to buy, just use them. When I have the chance, I can ask his master and maybe I'll find out."

Rong Jiaojiao nodded. When Qing Xuanzi learned that Rong Jiaojiao had cultivated rapidly through arrays and spirit stones and crystals, and was now at the peak of the Mage realm, just waiting to refine her foundation before breaking through to the Profound Master realm, Qing Xuanzi smiled heartily.

He believed that, given Rong Jiaojiao's current cultivation progress, she would be able to break through to the Xuan Master realm by next year at the latest.

He would only be eleven years old by then, what a prodigy! How could he not be proud?

Rong Jiaojiao took out a spiritual herb that came with the small secret realm and gave it to Qing Xuanzi, saying, "Master, smell this spiritual herb. Don't you feel refreshed?"

Qing Xuanzi took it, and without even putting it under his nose, he could smell a faint fragrance, and the pain in his sea of ​​consciousness seemed to lessen a bit.

Qing Xuanzi asked in surprise, "Where did you get this beautiful elixir?"

"Master, this was originally included with the treasure. I smelled it earlier and it seemed to be beneficial to spiritual sense. I wonder if it will be useful to you, Master?"

After the transplant, the medicinal herbs in the treasure matured. Rong Jiaojiao went to get the seeds and planted them. After that, she could harvest the mature spiritual herbs without any restrictions.

Qing Xuanzi laughed and said, "It is indeed helpful for my injury, so Master will not stand on ceremony with you."

Rong Jiaojiao nodded happily, and the master and apprentice talked for a long time until Rong Jiaojiao's stomach started growling with hunger.

To distract her, Qing Xuanzi had Rong Jiaojiao bring out rabbits and pheasants, and he prepared delicious food for her.

The two had just finished eating when the sect leader sent someone to deliver medicine to Qing Xuanzi to treat his spiritual consciousness.

After everyone left, Rong Jiaojiao began treating Qing Xuanzi again...

In the days that followed, whenever Rong Jiaojiao regained her spiritual power, she would perform a soul healing technique on Qing Xuanzi.

The time spent on alchemy, talisman drawing, and body tempering has been shortened.

Although her spiritual power was limited, her persistence and efforts allowed Qing Xuanzi's sea of ​​consciousness to recover twice as fast.

The dense cracks gradually healed, and the parched sea of ​​consciousness was slowly filled with divine power.

"Master, how are you feeling today?" Rong Jiaojiao asks Qing Xuanzi this question every day.

Qing Xuanzi smiled slightly: "I feel much better. The recovery of my sea of ​​consciousness is going quite well."

"That's good." Even though she hears the same words every day, Rong Jiaojiao is still happy every time she hears them.

Half a year has passed, and the pain in Qing Xuanzi's sea of ​​consciousness is no longer obvious. Although he still experiences occasional sharp, needle-like pain, it is negligible compared to the beginning.

Nowadays, as long as it's not used for combat, it's still possible to use some of the faint spiritual energy by opening things like the hidden space in the sleeve and the spirit beast bag.

Yesterday, Qing Xuanzi released Xiao Jin, and as soon as it came out, it went on a eating spree, devouring more than thirty of Rong Jiaojiao's rabbits before finally stopping.

Rong Jiaojiao thought to herself that Xiao Jin probably wouldn't go into that damn spirit beast bag again.

After learning that Qingxuanzi could use a little bit of his divine sense, Yu Qingguang sent a message talisman asking him to come over.

Qing Xuanzi frowned slightly after receiving the message talisman.

"Master, what does the sect leader want with you?" Rong Jiaojiao asked with concern when she saw Qing Xuanzi frowning.

Surely we won't send Master to the Demon-Sealing Array again? Master's spiritual consciousness is still far from fully recovered!

Qing Xuanzi knew what she was worried about, and said with a smile, "Don't worry, the sect leader would never ask me to do anything dangerous."

Rong Jiaojiao responded with an "oh," but her eyes still held worry.

Qing Xuanzi rubbed his head and said, "You stay here and cultivate well. Don't worry, I'll be back in a bit."

After finishing speaking, he left the courtyard and headed to the sect leader's council hall.

Along the way, he felt occasional pain in his sea of ​​consciousness, feeling somewhat helpless. When would this mental state recover? It was so inconvenient.
