Chapter 67: Disappearance of Fellow Disciple

If you want to use the medicine, you must go to Lingyue Peak.

Drugs for removing diseases are different from pesticides. The use of the latter will leave toxic residues on the spiritual plants, affecting the quality of maturity and the success rate of alchemy. The sect does not recommend it.

The former, as it targets diseases, is basically non-toxic and has little impact on spiritual plants.

After Su Qingwu made the decision, he quickly left the Yuqing Mirror space and headed for the Duobao Hall on Lingyue Peak.

In the corresponding area of ​​the first layer, we found a special drug for curing the black rot of spiritual plants, but it turned out to be quite expensive.

A bottle that is only the size of a thumb requires fifty contribution points to redeem, and after mixing with clean water, it can only be sprayed on one acre of spiritual field.

At the beginning, she handed in the Xuanjie Lingxiao Resurrection Technique and received 20,000 contribution points. Even if she used all of them to exchange for this kind of medicine, she could only irrigate 400 acres of spiritual farmland at most.

Fortunately, this time the disease was discovered in time, and so far, only four acres of land have been found to have infected spiritual plants.

To be on the safe side, Su Qingwu exchanged five bottles of medicine and then sprayed some of them on the areas adjacent to these spiritual fields.

After successfully exchanging the medicine, she did not stay long and left Duobao Hall immediately.

Returning to the bluestone courtyard of Cuimu Peak, he picked up the bamboo bucket that had not been used for a long time, performed a cleaning spell to clean the dirt on the surface, and brought it directly into the Yuqing Mirror space.

Then he used his hands to make a hand gesture, and used his water-based spiritual power to create a bucket of clean water, into which he poured a bottle of medicine that could cure black rot.

After the mixture is evenly integrated, start watering the corresponding spiritual fields...

About two sticks of incense later, all five bottles of medicine were used up.

By the second day, the black rot had not spread any further, but some of the infected leaves could not recover to their original state and were all removed.

As a result of this incident, nearly 600 water pepper plants were lost.

Su Qingwu did not continue planting in the vacant places.

Although the soil pollution was resolved promptly, it would recover better if left vacant for a period of time.

......

After solving the problem of black rot, Su Qingwu felt relieved and began to resume his previous life.

Over the past month, the total number of white-feathered eggs, excluding those that have been eaten, has reached 120.

She planned to keep them and sell them when there were enough.

The cultivation continued in an orderly manner. Apart from eating, tending to the spiritual fields and feeding the spiritual birds, the rest of the time was not wasted at all and was spent entirely in meditation.

Morning rises, evening sets, and in the blink of an eye, another half month has passed.

On this day, after Su Qingwu cast a spell to irrigate the spiritual field, he left the Jade Mirror space and came to the bluestone courtyard.

She was going to go to the dining hall to eat and at the same time, to inquire about the news to see if there were any major events that had happened in the sect recently.

......

Wherever I went along the way, I met fellow disciples, but I seldom heard anyone discussing Luo Yunqian's affairs.

When I arrived at the dining hall, I found many people sitting together, talking one after another.

"Senior Brother Qi has been away from the sect for almost ten days and has not returned. Could he be missing as well?"

"Well, it's possible. According to Brother Qi's original plan, he should be back in about three days. Now that it's been so long, he must have met with an accident."

"It's a pity that we, the outer disciples, don't have soul lamps left in the sect, otherwise we would be able to make a more accurate judgment."

"If I remember correctly, including Senior Brother Qi, six of our fellow disciples have mysteriously disappeared in the past month?"

"Yes, this is all confirmed. There are also some fellow disciples who are used to being alone and are not in the sect. No one knows whether they are missing or not."

"Do you think this could be related to Luo Yunqian's incident?"

"Who knows? There is no exact result of the battle. I heard from others that Luo Yunqian was razed to the ground. Anyway, I didn't dare to go and see it."

"I guess an enemy escaped, and the missing fellow disciple was probably retaliated by the enemy."

"What a troubled time! Ever since the news of the disappearance of the first fellow disciple spread, I had a vague premonition. I didn't even dare to go to the market during this period."

"Me too, I can only stay in the sect, and I don't know when this will end."

......

Listening to these discussions, Su Qingwu recalled the news told by Du Zhishi and Rong Meng, and had a rough guess in his mind.

The disappearance of fellow disciples was most likely caused by the escaped Lord of the Cold Ghost Fire.

In addition, she also thought of a tacit rule of the sect.

Outer sect disciples do not have soul lamps. After leaving the sect and not returning for a long time, if their life or death is unknown, the courtyard where they live will not be taken back immediately. However, the other disciples will be assigned tasks to take care of the spiritual plants in the courtyard to prevent it from being completely abandoned.

If a person has been away from the sect for more than 150 years and still has no news after that time, the sect will consider him or her dead and take back the residence to be left to the new generation of disciples...

There are nine outer peaks in Qianzhi Sect, and each has a similar courtyard.

Not all of these monks whose whereabouts are unknown disappeared.

There was once such an example: a disciple who had reached the fourth level of Qi training went out and disappeared for one hundred and twenty years.

Just when many of his fellow disciples acquiesced in his death, he suddenly returned to the sect, and his cultivation had advanced to the late stage of foundation building, far surpassing his former peers.

In a situation like this, it means that you have an adventure outside.

After this uncle returned to the sect, he saw that the courtyard where he used to live was still intact and no new disciples had ever moved in. His sense of belonging, which had almost disappeared, suddenly increased a lot, and he handed over many opportunities he had gained outside to the sect.

Just imagine, if the other party returns to the sect and finds that there is no place for him to stay in the sect, will he still do so?

In Su Qingwu's view, this tacit rule of the sect can also be regarded as a kind of human relations.

However, the classmates who have gone missing recently will probably never come back.

......

After finishing the meal, Su Qingwu returned to Cuimu Peak and met Sun Ruolan when he was near the Qingshi courtyard.

After not seeing her for many days, the girl looked much more haggard.

After seeing her, Sun Ruolan forced a smile and leaned forward to salute.

"It's been a long time since we last met. How is everything, Senior Sister Su?"

"All is well, but looking at Junior Sister Sun's state, is it possible that she has run into some trouble?"

"Strictly speaking, it's not a big deal. It's just some family matters. Senior Sister Su, my brother Sun Hui...is no longer alive."

Su Qingwu was not surprised to hear this.

The destruction of the jade statue meant the plan had failed. The opponent, as a pawn of the mastermind, was no longer useful and would naturally have a bad ending.

However, if it was only because of her brother's death, Sun Ruolan should not be in this state. After all, the two of them had a deep hatred.

As expected, he continued:

"I told my parents that Sun Hui was plotting to harm me. My father didn't believe that Sun Hui would do that, so he took my mother to the Floating Cloud Sect to ask for proof. However, the sect told him that Sun Hui had already died, saying that he had gone astray during his practice.

Upon hearing the news, Dad was devastated. For some reason, he blamed me for Sun Hui's death, insisting that I had killed him. He said he wanted to sever our father-daughter relationship and not allow Mom to contact me.

Speaking of this, Sun Ruolan smiled self-deprecatingly.

"If it weren't for Senior Sister Su's help, I would have been the one who died. I have always wondered, if this had happened, how would my good father treat Sun Hui if he knew the truth? Based on his past preferences, he would probably let it go."
