Chapter 223: Doubts about Advancement
Tao Zi ruffled Xi Jing's hair, looked at Han Yueshan, and said with a smile: "Yueshan, take the junior brothers and sisters out to rest."
He was a little confused, but nodded.
She glanced at the little fox again and symbolically clenched her fist. After a while, it bit the back of its fox cousin's neck, walked out slowly, and closed the door with its hind feet.
Li Xiu coughed twice and asked, "Do you need me to leave too?"
"random."
He immediately got up and left, and suddenly there were only three people left in the room.
Yue Qingya casually cast a soundproofing spell.
The Thousand Needle Doctor looked at her inquiringly and said, "Miss Tao, is there anything else?"
She said simply: "I have a brain disease."
Such simple words made him confused for a moment: "What?"
"My memory is incomplete or even false. Can you find out why?"
The Thousand Needle Doctor frowned and said, "I can investigate further, but it will be dangerous."
"No problem."
"I need to make some preparations in advance."
"Thank you."
He sighed: "When the apprentice comes, trouble comes."
Tao Zi looked at him meaningfully. He coughed and said quickly, "I was just saying it casually. Don't tell anyone else. Xiao Xiu is sometimes too hard to coax."
She said, "I know, but there is another trouble."
"Um?"
Tao Zi looked at him and said, "I have only been practicing physical cultivation for more than three years, but now I have reached the stage of forging flesh."
"Li...what?" The Thousand Needle Doctor looked at her in shock. "With the strength of your spiritual veins and your body, shouldn't you be two hundred years old? How is it possible that you've only been practicing physical cultivation for three years?"
Tao Zi looked at him without explanation, and he didn't need any, so she just started guessing: "Cultivating both the Dao and the body? Impossible, there has never been such a thing."
As he thought about it, he looked at her in shock: "Your previous cultivation was wasted?"
She nodded.
He sat there, lost in thought. Yue Qingya interrupted his thoughts and said gently, "Doctor, may I ask what's going on with my friend?"
He exhaled slowly, his expression solemn, and said, "There is only one possibility, you were once a physical cultivator."
Tao Zi looked up at him and asked, "Can Dao cultivation and physical cultivation be practiced at the same time?"
"As far as I know, no, that's the problem."
The Thousand Needle Doctor suddenly raised a possibility: "Is there something wrong with your memory? Perhaps you were a physical cultivator in the past."
Yue Qingya looked at him and said, "If that's the case, she's not the only one with memory problems."
"It's troublesome, really troublesome." He frowned deeply. "If you don't mind, I can tentatively ask my friend. He has seen more things than me."
"Of course I don't mind."
That was the end of the matter for today. The three of them stood up and walked out. When they pushed the door open, they heard Hua Seng's mumbling.
“拖家带口一身病是事实，脑子不行是陶道友自己说的，师父不爱是他自己表现出来的，为什么要揍我？我哪里说错了？”
He looked at Han Yueshan blankly, his face still bruised.
Han Yueshan looked at him with a look of despair: "Stop nagging. In short, if you don't want to get beaten, just shut your mouth."
Xi Jing complained, "Why didn't I realize he deserved a beating before?"
"Have you all forgotten how he once persuaded someone else's daughter to become a nun?"
"Yes... Hey, Senior Sister, you guys are out!"
Xi Jing rushed over, looking particularly happy: "Senior Sister, did this medical practitioner give any prescriptions?"
The Thousand Needle Doctor said, "There's nothing wrong with her leg."
"The poison?"
He shook his head. "I haven't figured out what it is yet. I'll see in a few days."
The flower monk leaned forward and asked, "Poison, what kind of poison?"
Han Yueshan said expressionlessly: "Monk Hua, you didn't hear anything."
Xi Jing looked at Li Xiu and thought for a while. The master was still here, so forget it.
Tao Zi looked at their performance and wanted to laugh. She said, "It's okay. There's nothing to hide. It's mainly because I was poisoned and my health is not good."
The flower monk was bewildered and asked, "That's it?"
"Yes, that's it."
The fellow students suddenly understood.
Judging from this, what needs to be concealed is the regular monthly attack pattern, after all, it is too easy for people to find loopholes.
Seeing these three people showing expressions of understanding, Tao Zi smiled.
Li Xiu was taken away by the Thousand Needle Doctor under the pretext of a reunion between master and disciple.
They stood there, watching the backs of the master and disciple. The Flower Monk couldn't help but ask, "We've found Fellow Daoist Li's master. Where should we go next?"
Tao Zi turned her head to look at him and asked, "Do you still want to follow us?"
"Following you all, the experience is very interesting."
She smiled and glanced at Yueshan and the others: "I'm not sure where to go yet."
"Then you can stay here for a few more days."
Zhao Xue reminded: "Don't forget, we still have an auction to attend."
They started discussing again, while Yue Qingya followed Tao Zi into the house and locked the little fox that wanted to come in outside.
"Azi, you really haven't decided where to go?"
She said calmly, "Back then, in the Xuyan Ruins, the owner of the ruins gave me two directions: one was the Tiandao Sect, and the other was self-reliance."
"You're going to Tiandao Sect?"
"No, I won't go." She shook her head. "I can't trust any sect right now, and I can't gamble."
"So where do you want to go?"
"Spring and Autumn Sect, this is a reminder I left for myself in the past." Tao Zi's eyes were firm. "There must be someone there who knows something."
"Xuan Huan is inside the Spring and Autumn Gate."
She shook her head again: "No, I didn't tell you these things before, so I would never tell him."
Yue Qingya frowned and said, "That's right, maybe he's being watched by someone."
She rubbed her forehead with a headache.
He said helplessly: "We have too few helpers here."
Tao Zi said: "I have sent people to look for those who entered the no-man's land."
"I can't trust them completely. After all, I've been in the Minglan Sect. No one knows if any of them wavered during the years you were in trouble."
"I won't show up unless it's someone I trust deeply."
The two of them talked about other things there, and the Thousand Needle Doctor was also talking to Cheng Wuchou at this time, while Li Xiu was distracted on the side.
"Are you saying that Minglan Sect has lost face again?"
Cheng Wuchou smiled and nodded, his expression particularly happy. "That's right, the prison was robbed, and it is said that many people escaped. The disciple in charge was afraid of being scolded, so he wanted to send people to recapture them himself. I heard that Xu Qianjia was furious."
The Thousand Needle Doctor said mischievously, "That means none of them were found."
"That's right. Hey, didn't you tell me something before?"
The Thousand Needle Doctor simplified the story and only talked about the parts that he was confused about.
Cheng Wuchou pondered for a moment, and a hint of hesitation appeared on his face: "I have heard of a method, but it is unlikely."
