Chapter 24 Chapter 24 Just hug, just hug...
Bai Lu woke up feeling refreshed, as if she had just drunk a magic potion that increased her energy.
It's probably because of the pill I took yesterday. This one is different from his magic potion. It focuses on absorbing spiritual energy. I should learn from it and make a potion of the same type...
But, something seems wrong?
Bai Lu turned over, hugged the pillow and thought, wondering if she had forgotten something.
Three seconds later, Bai Lu's eyes slowly opened a little wider.
"Um?"
"Um?!!"
My memory gradually came back to me, and I remembered everything that happened yesterday...
That's right... Bai Lu slowly covered her face, ahhh what is this, revealing all the secrets, but an encrypted call?
He remembered that he had memorized several potion recipes yesterday, and insisted that his junior fellow apprentice try to see if he could make them using alchemy.
Bai Lu felt that this pill definitely could not be called exposing one's true nature, it was more like exposing one's instinct.
And! When he returned to Shuchun Garden last night, he met Huo Xuexiang. After all, his master was the best person to him in the world of immortal cultivation. He went up to him and kissed him goodnight. At that time, he felt it was very natural. It was just a daily etiquette.
Now that I come to my senses, what was Huo Xuexiang's expression at that time?
I hope you didn't scare me, a calm and indifferent mentor...
Because the spiritual power was so overwhelming, Bai Lu didn't even need to ask for a wake-up call. He just rubbed his forehead and went out.
Huo Xuexiang was sitting by the railing on the second floor. It was unclear whether he was enjoying the breeze or using his spiritual sense to "look" at the distant scenery. He noticed Bai Lu's movements and lowered his head to ask, "Have you refined your spiritual power?"
"...That's about it. Good morning, Master." Bai Lu obediently raised her hand to tie her ponytail.
Huo Xuexiang flicked his hand, and a burst of energy loosened Bai Lu's half-tied hair. "If you don't like it, then don't tie it up."
Bai Lu still had a piece of hair tie in her mouth. She looked up and was stunned for a moment. The morning light made the color of her green eyes more transparent. Her black hair was draped over her shoulders, and the ends of her hair were slightly curled. Every strand was clearly visible and sparkling in the sun.
If Bai Lu felt a little guilty when she first started, now seeing Huo Xuexiang's nonchalant and reserved Oriental manner, she couldn't help but smile mischievously: "Master, can you not tie it if I don't like it?"
Huo Xuexiang's swordsmanship intuition prevented him from answering this question...
Sure enough, the next moment Bai Lu brought up the thing he had deliberately ignored: "If I like it, can I still be close to Master?"
Huo Xuexiang: “…”
Under the light, Bai Lu's skin becomes even whiter, with a rosy tint to the almost transparent white, so delicate that it reminds people of its soft touch.
Huo Xuexiang curled his fingers and turned his head away, showing a rare trace of embarrassment, "...naughty."
Huo Xuexiang really didn't know how to apply the master-disciple relationship method at this moment. It seemed that neither indulgence nor scolding was appropriate.
"On the contrary!" Bai Lu shielded her eyes from the sun with her hands, thinking that her teacher looked a little frightened, and explained, "In our hometown, very close relatives and friends would do that. I was actually showing my respect for Master last night, and it really wasn't a prank, Master, please don't misunderstand me."
Misunderstand……
The world is so big that there are all kinds of strange things. This is not the first time that Bai Lu's words and deeds have caused people to be misunderstood. His words are very sincere, but it is inevitable that Huo Xuexiang, who thought he was used to it, was stunned for a long time again.
Huo Xuexiang lowered his head, and after a few breaths, he said, "If this is etiquette, could it be that the weapon spirit is also your close friend? It also said that it was kissed by you."
Bai Lu: “…”
Too conservative, a kiss on the cheek is not the same as a forced kiss. He didn't even bite hard.
The spirit of the weapon cannot be counted at all.
"How far has this rumor spread? I have debunked it a hundred times in the sect." Bai Lu clenched her fists when she talked about this. Even the master knew about it. Who was it? Who said it?
It must be Master Xue Feng, he is said to be the most gossipy!
Bai Lu was hostile to Xue Danxing in her heart for a few seconds.
"Really, it's really the etiquette of greeting." Bai Lu looked at the instructor sincerely again. Kissing is kissing, and care is care, but they are different.
"I understand." Huo Xuexiang sighed, "In the future, don't... perform such a ceremony casually."
"Also, since you've taken the medicine, don't waste it. Go practice swordplay."
Huo Xuexiang turned his head away.
"What? If I had known earlier, I would have said that I deliberately molested Master. Master might even be embarrassed to ask me to practice..." Bai Lu muttered.
Huo Xuexiang: “…………”
Bai Lu picked up the Snow Feather Sword and said, "Okay, okay, let's do our morning exercise now."
But probably because of the supplements he took yesterday, Bai Lu's physical strength was also very good today. He practiced swordsmanship three times without even panting. Qiusuo handed him some tea and used his spiritual power to clean and dry his body.
It's time for cultural classes again.
Bai Lu had requested before that some lessons on identifying monsters be added, and Huo Xuexiang spent some time preparing the lesson plans.
Huo Xuexiang asked for some information from other peaks for him, but there was probably no one in the Xiuxian world who compiled a special illustrated guide. There was a lot of information, some with only text, some with only pictures, and it was scattered. It was said that there were more that didn't even have information and relied on word of mouth...
But the good thing is that many Huo Xuexiang have been beaten, so the explanations can be completed and compiled into a set of teaching plans.
After reviewing the fight against the Blood Corpse Demon that day, Bai Lu felt that although he had performed very well, he still had two shortcomings. One was that he had sprained his waist (this would definitely improve through morning exercises), and the other was that he did not recognize the Blood Corpse Demon and its minions, and he had also found the wrong vital points.
"If Junior Sister Meng hadn't reminded me that day, I wouldn't have known that I should be beheaded. And... I actually secretly kept the Blood Corpse's nail." Bai Lu saw a question mark on Huo Xuexiang's head, "It's because I didn't recognize it! I picked it up to see if it can be used as medicine."
Huo Xuexiang: "...That is a very unlucky thing. Keeping it on you will only bring bad luck."
Bai Lu understood: "Oh, then you should stay here even more. I will refine something to harm others."
Huo Xuexiang: “…”
Let’s take a look at the basics of Bailu.
Huo Xuexiang opened a book and saw a monkey on it. "Do you recognize this?"
This is definitely not wrong, Bai Lu said confidently: "Water monkey."
Huo Xuexiang silently put down the book. He seemed to know what level of natural knowledge Bai Lu had. "It seems that we have to start from the basics. This is a beast, and it knows good and bad luck by itself."
He showed Bai Lu some of the more common ones, especially the non-human creatures that often appeared in this continent, some artificial, some natural, some ferocious, and some that posed no threat.
"This is a ghost. Do you know that being a tiger's ghost is like being a ghost." Huo Xuexiang pointed at a piece of paper and said, "If a tiger injures someone and kills him, then he is a ghost and helps the tiger eat people."
Why does this description sound familiar?
Bai Lu recalled, "It's similar to the Blood Corpse Demon's minions, but the Blood Corpse Demon doesn't need that prerequisite, as long as the person is dead, it can be controlled."
Huo Xuexiang nodded: "Yes, the accomplice is from the human department, because both are related to people and are changed by people. The accomplice also means being at a loss, just like those accomplices, doing things according to the wishes of others."
Bai Lu suddenly had an idea. "Hey, then does Qiu Suo count as my lackey? My lackey?"
Also, he often hides his tracks and goes to the mountains, asking the Luoluo bird to lead the way and help him collect things. Does that mean the Luoluo bird is an accomplice of the devil?
Huo Xuexiang: “…………”
He often felt a sense of powerlessness that he had never experienced in his practice...
The wooden puppet was standing aside, and there was still no expression on its face when it was mentioned.
It was not until Bai Lu turned to look at him that the loyal wooden puppet felt that it was time for him to answer questions. "Young Master, judging from my race and formation, I am not a ghost or a corpse, and you are not a tiger or a corpse. But if you insist, I can be your puppet."
Bai Lu: "Oh, I said it is logically feasible--"
Huo Xuexiang held his forehead and interrupted them: "No, don't imitate this kind of address."
Bai Lu put her hands on her knees and pretended to be well behaved: "Okay."
I have polluted the Qiusuo database again. Bailu has perfectly ended today's classes and is going to take a walk in the mountains!
…
Forgetting myself and the world, I felt my spiritual energy flowing through my body, all the meridians in my body were clear, and my dantian seemed to explode, opening up a new world!
All the spiritual energy gathered in this world, nourishing the whole body again. The feathers that were damaged in the previous injury also grew back.
When he opened his eyes again, Luo Luo was ecstatic.
Foundation Establishment Realm, broken!
After several days of seclusion, he finally entered the Xuanguan realm. The Purple Palace was opened up in his Dantian, and spiritual energy gathered here, as if there was a world inside, extremely vast.
The great perfection of foundation building and the early stage of Xuanguan realm seem to be only a fine line apart, but it has been difficult for Luo Luo for so long. Once he breaks through, he finds that there is indeed a world of difference between these fine lines!
Luo Luo, who is now in the Xuanguan realm, feels that the world is completely different, as if he was in a daze and like an ant before.
Thinking back to the past in the mountains and forests, I relied on my foundation-building cultivation to fight with some small demon cultivators. It was really ridiculous.
Luo Luo spread his wings and flew again over the mountain where he had frequented for many years. Looking at the familiar scenery, it was very different. Every blade of grass and every tree gave him new insights.
Until Luo Luo saw a familiar figure among them.
It’s Mo Zun!
He actually took off his gauze hat and put it aside, then squatted there and dug mushrooms frantically.
Luo Luo's heartbeat quickened. He had guessed before that the gauze hat was a magic weapon that prevented him from seeing Mo Zun's face. Now that Mo Zun had taken off the gauze hat, he had to take this opportunity to see clearly what Mo Zun's true face was!
Luo Luo showed a cruel smile on his lips, and used his Xuanguan realm cultivation to launch a sneak attack, letting you experience a completely different feeling from before.
No one cared about the ten years of building the foundation, but once it was revealed everyone in the world knew about it.
"Flying feathers and flowing arrows--" Luo Luo's wings shook violently, and his spiritual power condensed into feather-shaped arrows and shot out quickly.
Bai Lu squatted on the ground and dug mushrooms, one, two, three, four... Hahaha, she took them back to eat mushroom soup hotpot with her classmates.
Suddenly, I felt the power flowing behind me. Without even thinking, the magic shield on my body was activated and expanded.
Taking the opportunity to quickly put on the gauze hat, Bai Lu turned around and saw that it was Luo Luo. With a swipe of the witch blade, the water element entangled Luo Luo and easily copied him over, pinching the fat bird madly: "Hahahahaha!!"
It's a traitor! Hahahaha!
Luo Luo: "Ah! Ahhhh!"
Luo Luo was squeezed and flattened. With his Xuanguan realm cultivation, he couldn't muster the strength to resist. Tears welled up in his eyes: How could this happen...
After a while.
"I beg you, please let me go." Luo Luo's voice was full of the vicissitudes of life.
Bai Lu said in confusion: "Nervous bird, you suddenly rushed over to hit me."
Luo Luo: “…………”
Can't refute it.
I regret so much...
Just now he was famous all over the world, but now he has become arrogant and domineering because of his success.
Bai Lu saw its newly grown tail hair, which was probably because of the breakthrough, and it actually had a different metallic luster than before. She thought to herself that it was indeed worthy of being my good friend, and would take the initiative to help me upgrade the materials, and shouted, "I want a few."
Luo Luo shouted, bluffing: "Do you know that the Sword Master is behind me!!"
——He and the Sword Master’s disciples have become friends, and after passing the test, he has become an inner disciple and officially joined the Xuanshan Immortal Sect. The Sword Master is his backer.
Bai Lu: “?”
Behind you is the Sword Master, then who is behind me?
Bai Lu pulled it out without any hesitation!
Luo Luo screamed, but this scream mostly came from psychological depression rather than physical pain.
It even realized that if it couldn't become an immortal, it would ultimately be just an ant.
"You, you are so bold, you are not even afraid of Sword Master?" Luo Luo said with pain, "Do you know that I am now an inner disciple of Xuanshan!"
"Hmph." Bai Lu didn't say anything. He felt that Luo Luo was really confusing right and wrong. He had not intended to look for Luo Luo today because Luo Luo had been injured before and had come back to prepare for a breakthrough. How considerate of him.
Luo Luo was about to accept his fate, but suddenly he noticed someone approaching. He turned around and immediately exclaimed in joy: "Senior Brother Pei, help me!"
The man who came was Pei Zhaoting, the best among Xuanshan's direct disciples. Luo Luo felt that he had a close relationship with him in Qinglong Town, and he was now a formal disciple...
Now, even if he can’t beat Mo Zun, he can still beat Pei Zhaoting.
Pei Zhaoting stared at the man wearing the gauze hat. He couldn't see the man's face clearly, but the man looked familiar because he had just used a dagger.
Since he was rescued that day, Pei Zhaoting loved to go to the mountains to practice formations, hoping to find this person's trace.
Hard work pays off, and he may have really found it.
"Is it you?" Pei Zhaoting asked in an ambiguous tone.
"It's him. He is the one who always bullies me in the mountains! He must be the evil cultivator who sneaked into Xuanshan!" Luo Luo said heartbreakingly. He was intimidated before and dared not to complain, but now he has seen the scene.
Pei Zhaoting ignored Luo Luo and bowed solemnly, his eyes sparkling in the moonlight, full of admiration, "May I ask which peak you are from, Senior? Zhaoting has always wanted to thank you in person."
Luo Luo: “…”
That's not right...
What does Acknowledgement mean?
"I'm just doing you a small favor, don't mind it." How could Bai Lu reveal her identity? But she did not deny that she was the one who saved Pei Zhaoting.
Pei Zhaoting's eyes lit up. The other party admitted that he had not found the wrong person!
He nearly went insane that day. In a state of half-sleep and half-wakefulness, the other party saved him with just a few words. The power of the water was safe and gentle, and it helped him get out of the most anxious moment invisibly.
Moreover, the senior was well versed in the invisible nature of water, and cast spells without making any sound, and his control over spiritual power was amazing. Although Pei Zhaoting had already reached the initial stage of the Thunder Listening Realm, he still felt inferior to him.
"A drop of kindness should be repaid with a spring. I hope the senior will give Zhaoting a chance." Pei Zhaoting even looked at Luo Luo thoughtfully.
Luo Luo: “…”
This is so disheartening. After all, they have been together before. Could it be that Pei Zhaoting would act as Mo Zun's thug just because of Mo Zun's words?
"Brother Pei! He calls himself 'Mo Zun', how can he be a good person!"
Isn't this the name that Xuanshan disciples often like to call him these days? Pei Zhaoting was only more certain that this person was an inner sect disciple. He didn't know which generation of disciple he was from or which peak he came from. How could he have never heard of this before?
——Nowadays, saying the word "Demon Lord" in Xuanshan will not scare people at all. The other party will only question: Are you talking about the mushroom? Whose door is it growing?
Bai Lu didn't think that Pei Zhaoting could take off her identity. "Hey, if you really want to repay me, just give me some materials for refining weapons." Pei Zhaoting was so rich that his puppets were all made of jade, and the things she picked up from Pei Zhaoting last time were all good things.
Pei Zhaoting took out a purse from his body without hesitation and threw it to Bai Lu, "I came out in a hurry, and I only have a piece of the wood of the wood, but it can ward off evil spirits. Although it may not be enough, please accept it, Senior Mushroom."
Luo Luo: “…”
Why did you really call him Mo Zun? I misjudged you, Pei Zhaoting, you...you are such a jerk!
"Oh, thank you." Bai Lu didn't know what the soapwood was, but he felt the energy on it and felt that it was very suitable for making a staff. His eyes lit up and he planned to go back and study it. "Okay, thank you, I'm leaving now..."
Pei Zhaoting didn't know why, but after he gave the things to his senior, he suddenly became anxious.
"Senior, please stay—"
But a light drizzle began to fall, like a curtain of water, distorting the scene in front of eyes and hiding the figure and trace of Bai Lu riding the broom and leaving.
Pei Zhaoting passed the water curtain and saw only empty mountains and forests.
Materials... Could it be that, in addition to being a practitioner of magic, you are also an auxiliary practitioner of cultivation tools?
…
Huo Xuexiang flipped through the manuscript and randomly asked, "What is this?"
It was a monster that looked like a monkey. Bai Lu immediately answered, "It's not a water monkey, nor a beast. It's... um, a black demon!"
Huo Xuexiang nodded and pointed to another one, "What about this one?"
"Wind Python!"
When Huo Xuexiang put down the manuscript, Bai Lu looked at him with a little trepidation, holding her face.
Huo Xuexiang couldn't help but pause for a few breaths before slowly saying, "It's OK."
"What does 'Shang Ke' mean? How many are right?" Bai Lu made a gesture as if she was eager to celebrate.
Huo Xuexiang nodded, "Eighty percent correct."
Bai Lu then jumped up, and the next second, she even threw herself forward, not considering whether she would be caught or not, "Great!"
Huo Xuexiang suddenly stretched out his hand, and the pair of green eyes were almost close at hand. The loose hair also brushed against Huo Xuexiang's eyes through the cloth. He almost immediately remembered that they were so close on Bai Lu's day, and then they suddenly kissed each other on the cheek.
Huo Xuexiang leaned back calmly.
But this calmness was probably just what he thought it was. Bai Lu immediately said, "Master, why are you hiding? I won't get close to you!" There was even a hint of pride in her tone.
Huo Xuexiang: “…”
Well, once you pass the test, you can act recklessly.
Huo Xuexiang held Bai Lu down with one hand and said, "Go down."
"Master, you already know that this is my true nature. I don't do this outside." Bai Lu opened her hands and said shamelessly, "It's the etiquette of my hometown. Just hug me, just hug me!"
Huo Xuexiang hesitated for a moment, then actually hugged Bai Lu, and with a hint of cold plum fragrance, he hugged her back. His movements were gentle, but it was indeed the etiquette style that Bai Lu was familiar with.
Bai Lu was laughing secretly when she suddenly heard Huo Xuexiang whispering above her head, "You are thousands of miles away from home. I hope you can ease your homesickness a little."
