The daughter of an elite disciple from a major sect, Shi Zelan possessed the best conditions for cultivation. However, she was plotted against and cursed, burdened with an inherently unlucky consti...
Chapter 33 Focus
Spring goes and autumn comes, year after year passes.
When Shi Zelan, who was still in her golden years, pointed her sword at the waterfall, she was already able to bring out a hint of sword intent.
"Pah, pah, pah, good, today I have sword intention, keep practicing sword
Taoist Pingyang clapped his hands a few times encouragingly, and Shi Zelan shook off the moisture on her clothes.
She looked at him and said, "Little Master, you have been praising me like this for several days."
"To be honest, you are making progress every day."
Shi Zelan is indeed making small progress every day, and her cultivation level of the second stage of Qi Refining has now reached the ninth level.
After discussing with Master Fang Cheng and Master Ping Yang, they decided not to hide Shi Zelan's true cultivation level from the outside world anymore.
Those in the sect who were interested soon found out that Shi Zelan had now reached the second stage of Qi Refining.
All of a sudden, many people appeared outside the lecture hall, and they observed Shi Zelan very carefully.
Shi Zelan naturally heard some unpleasant voices: "At such an old age, she is already in the second stage of Qi Refining, while Sister Wanyu is already in the fourth stage and fifth level of Qi Refining, and she hasn't advertised anything outside."
In the past two years, the sect has been recruiting new disciples, and Wanyu is the most outstanding one, and is even better than Xia Yu in cultivation.
Wanyu's father and Xia's father were friends. After she came to the sect, Xia Yu took good care of her.
After a few visits, Xia Yu had a gentle and lovely sister by his side.
However, every time Xia Yu met Shi Zelan, there was no one else around him, so Shi Zelan never had the chance to meet Wan Yu.
When Shi Zelan heard people mention Wanyu, she became more interested in her.
Xia Yu was truly happy for Shi Zelan, and he found an opportunity to talk to Shi Zelan.
"Junior Sister Shi, your efforts over the years have not been in vain."
Shi Zelan was about to tell him about the hardship of sword training when she heard someone calling Xia Yu in a sweet voice, "Brother Xia Yu."
When she raised her eyes, she saw a beautiful girl with a fair and pretty face. She blinked at Xia Yu with a look of grievance in her eyes.
At the same time, Wanyu saw Shi Zelan, who was looking at her with a smile and pursed lips, with skin as white as freshly peeled water chestnuts.
When Xia Yu wasn't paying attention, she glared at Shi Zelan fiercely.
She came over and stretched out her hand to hold Xia Yu's hand, but Xia Yu frowned and dodged. She quickly leaned over and took Xia Yu's arm.
This time, Xia Yu hesitated for a moment and let her hold his arm.
She stamped her feet and said coquettishly, "Brother Xia Yu, is it because of this sister that you ignore me?"
Shi Zelan reached out and stroked her arm. In all her years in the sect, she had never met such a delicate and gentle female cultivator.
Shi Zelan immediately lost interest in making friends with the legendary Wan Yu.
She stepped aside, nodded at Xia Yu, and walked forward. “
"Hey, why are you gone? Brother Xia Yu, did I say something wrong?"
Shi Zelan's pace became faster and faster. After leaving the lecture hall, she went straight back to Fangcao Hall.
Lu Lingyu came out and whispered, "Daoist Bachun has been here for quite a while."
Years ago, after Shi Bachun came back from traveling, she often came to Fangcaotang to visit Shi Zelan.
Shi Bachun seemed to have some more unresolved worries when he went out this time.
Shi Zelan asked Shi Bachun tentatively, and she said that this trip was a bit tiring.
Shi Zelan therefore asked Lu Lingyu to chat more with Shi Bachun when she came to Fangcaotang.
After a long time, Shi Zelan asked Lu Lingyu: "Did my Eighth Aunt tell you if she needs any help?"
Lu Lingyu looked a little conflicted. Shi Zelan was too young, and she really didn't know how to tell Shi Zelan about Shi Bachun's worries.
Shi Zelan misunderstood: "Although the Grandmaster is not in the sect, the Grand Master and Junior Master are in the sect.
As long as Eighth Aunt doesn't do anything that would harm the sect, the senior brothers and sisters will be willing to stand up for her. ”
In the past few years, Master Feng Yuan has never returned to the sect, and Zizai Peak has become much deserted.
But with the presence of Master Fang Cheng and Master Pingyang, the people in the sect treated Shi Zelan relatively well.
As for the fights between the children, Shi Zelan never took it to heart. Anyway, they didn't dare to say bad things about her by name.
Lu Lingyu smiled and said, "Not really. Bachun is a decent person. She is worried about her progress in cultivation."
“Oh, then I can’t help her, my own cultivation is even more difficult than that of Bachungu.
Please give her some advice when you have time. My junior uncle said that her current skills are very good, and if she continues to practice, she can strive to build a foundation before she turns 100. ”
After Lu Lingyu was silent for a while, she said to Shi Zelan, "Sister Lan, do you want to take a look at the technique I'm practicing?"
Shi Zelan listened to her words and reacted after a while: "Are you trying to change the cultivation method?"
Lu Lingyu shook her head: "The manager said that the technique I am practicing now is quite suitable for me."
“My cultivation level is lower than yours, so I can’t give you any advice in this regard.
Since the manager said so, do you want to continue practicing for a few more years? ”
Lu Lingyu was desperate and tried every possible means: "Sister Lan, what you said makes sense.
I have been in a restless mood these days. No wonder I haven't made any progress in my cultivation. ”
In the end, Lu Lingyu did not mention to Shi Zelan what Shi Bachun was really worried about.
But she reminded Shi Bachun and told her that Shi Zelan was a little worried about her current condition.
When Shi Bachun came again, he had adjusted his mood quite well.
Shi Zelan looked at her: "Aunt Bachun, are you in a better mood now?"
"Okay, now I understand. I still need to concentrate on my training and not let my mind wander to other things."
Shi Zelan felt relieved and told her about Shi Xiaoliu's situation.
Shi Bachun laughed after hearing this: "He told me that he would intensify his training and strive to reach the fifth stage of Qi Refining at the age of thirty-five."
“Ha, ha, ha, Aunt Ba, I don’t think that will be difficult for Xiaoliu.
His current martial arts method is very suitable for him. He is already at the sixth level of the fourth stage of Qi Refining. ”
When Shi Bachun heard what Shi Zelan said, a look of pride flashed in his eyes.
She looked at Shi Zelan, who was smiling, and remembered that she had heard from others that the ancestor of the Lou family had bad news again.
Looking at Shi Zelan's expression now, she probably didn't hear the bad news about the ancestor of the Lou family.
A few years ago, news spread among the sect that the ancestor of the Lou family was dying.
As a result, the old man took the elixir sent by his younger family members and his life was extended.
Shi Bachun was out at that time. When she came back, she heard the good news that the ancestor of the Lou family was able to recover again.
She quietly asked Lu Lingyu if the Lou family had ever asked about Shi Zelan's news.
Lu Lingyu shook her head silently, and Shi Bachun sighed: "That's good. Our Shi family doesn't have to worry about other families coming to snatch our children away."
Shi Zelan was now focusing on her studies. Seeing Shi Bachun smile, she said to her, "Auntie, please sit down for a while. I have to do my homework."
