"Baby, you're really kind." Chu Lingyan looked at him with interest and said, "But if he's here, you can only call him Senior Brother from now on."
Chu Xi lowered his eyes and said, "That's my business. True Man Qing Xiao had his reasons for accepting him as his disciple."
Even if he recognized such a senior brother, it would not be a hindrance to him in the future. If he could establish a good relationship with him, it would be good. If not, the only person he wanted to repay was True Man Qingxiao.
Chu Lingyan chuckled: "Are you so sure that Qingxiao will accept you as his disciple?"
Chu Xi lowered his eyes and said nothing. He wasn't sure. In his previous life, Master Qing Xiao had never accepted any disciples, no matter how talented they were. But if he accepted Lin Su, perhaps his hope would be greater. "Just do your best."
With recruitment imminent, the Jiuxiao Immortal Sect is unusually busy. All assessments are handled by True Man Qingxiao. The elders have different tempers, but most of them are quite kind. Although this one is an extraordinary person, his frosty aura makes the disciples who approach him think twice before speaking.
There was admiration in their eyes, but more of awe, and they followed the rules everywhere. Shen Qingtang looked at them and felt that everyone seemed to be exactly the same. His attitude became even colder. "We can't miss this place in the Heart Demon Realm. Send a few people to test it."
In the past, when the elders assigned assessments, they would just let people take the test directly. But no one expected that Shen Qingtang would actually let the disciples try it before using it.
"Elder, isn't this unnecessary?" a disciple said, bowing. "We are all convinced of your strength."
"Since you are an inner disciple, if these entry-level disciples can pass, you should also pass. What's wrong with that?" Shen Qingtang looked at him and said.
He didn't use any pressure, but the disciple lowered his body cautiously: "Nothing is wrong."
"Go and make the arrangements." Shen Qingtang gave the order and left.
The top of Qingxiao Peak is covered with snow all year round. When there is no snow falling, there is not even the sound of flying birds. Shen Qingtang landed on the top of the peak and was about to walk into the house when he heard the unusual sound.
There should be no one in this world of cultivation who can enter Qingxiao Peak without a token. Shen Qingtang held his breath and when he stepped onto the stairs, he just saw the figure who opened the door and came out.
After not seeing each other for many years, a man appeared in the vast snow, as handsome as a painting. Perhaps it was because the scene in front of him was too beautiful, or perhaps it was because he saw someone he hadn't seen for a long time and he didn't have time to react. Shen Qingtang felt that there was an inexplicable thing fermenting in his heart.
"Master, I'm back." Lin Su stepped forward, naturally grabbed his waist and held him in his arms. After five years, he felt the same as before.
Shen Qingtang suddenly reacted to the touch of his warm body and asked, "When did you come back?"
Lin Su smiled and said, "I just came back today and was wondering where Master had gone. I didn't expect to run into you the moment I opened the door. Master, I missed you so much."
Shen Qingtang had a thousand things to say to him, about how he had been training for so long without any news, why he hadn't met her when they had passed each other, why he had gone somewhere else, but when the words reached his lips, they only became one sentence: "It's good that you're back."
"Master is still the same as before." Lin Su hugged him and then immediately stepped back. "It's just that you rarely left Qingxiao Peak before. Where did you go today?"
His attitude was indeed somewhat disrespectful, but Shen Qingtang didn't really care: "The sect is recruiting soon, and I will be in charge this time. You are now in the late stage of foundation building, so you can lend me a hand."
"My disciple has been in seclusion for several years and has come all the way back. I am very tired. Can I be allowed to rest for a day?" Lin Su asked with a smile.
He was handsome, and the way he spoke made it hard to refuse his request. Shen Qingtang replied, "Of course."
"It's very cold on the top of the mountain. I want to drink the tea made by Master." Lin Su said.
"Okay." Shen Qingtang stepped over the threshold and said, "Come in."
A cultivator who has reached the stage of transformation into a spirit no longer needs to sleep. The place where Shen Qingtang lives only has a couch for resting, with a small table on it. The charcoal fire is not yet lit, and the room is deserted.
Shen Qingtang took out the tea leaves, and Lin Su put charcoal on the fire, reaching out and lighting it directly. The cold air in the room seemed to be eaten away by the flames bit by bit. Lin Su used a charcoal tongs to poke the red-hot charcoal, and a few small sparks jumped in the air. Shen Qingtang put the kettle on, looking at this scene, the fermenting feeling seemed to be constantly breeding something.
Boil water to make tea, pour the light tea into the jade cup and place it in front of Lin Su.
"What kind of tea is this? It smells sweet." Lin Su said after smelling the tea.
"The snow water used to make tea is made with fresh pine tips and plum blossoms. I'll be fine if you like it." Shen Qingtang brought the cup to his lips. In the past, he only thought the tea was fragrant, but now he seemed to actually taste a sweet flavor.
"I naturally like the tea brewed by my master." Lin Su tasted it and drank it all in one gulp.
Shen Qingtang glanced at him and asked in a cold voice, "Did you go to that lava mountain five years ago to get the Molten Fire Crystal?"
"Yes, I happened to know that there was a molten fire crystal there, so I went to take a look." Lin Su said with a smile, "But I didn't expect to encounter a fire anaconda. In a moment of desperation, I used the jade slip, which alarmed Master. Master knows where the molten lava is? Master went there?"
"Master sensed the sword's intent and was afraid that something might happen to you, so I just went to take a look." Shen Qingtang felt that it was natural for a master to save his disciple, but for some reason he felt a little uncomfortable.
"Thank you, Master. If I had known you were going, I would have waited for you there." Lin Su said regretfully, "What a pity I missed you."
"Nothing, just a meeting. Your experience is the most important. I am very happy to see you come back safely and your cultivation has improved." Shen Qingtang felt that there were many things he wanted to say to him, but when the words came to his lips, he always felt that something was wrong. For the first time, he regretted his poor tongue.
"Master, I've earned your praise, and all my years of hard work are well spent." Lin Su rummaged through his storage ring and placed a jade box on the table. "This is the crushed ice saliva I got from the cold land. It's not precious, but I hope it can be of some use to you, Master."
Broken Ice Saliva is produced by evil beasts in extremely cold lands. It is of great help to cultivators with ice spiritual roots. Not to mention that evil beasts are extremely rare, if cultivators enter their territory, they will easily be disturbed by their inner demons. Once they fall into the maze they set, it will be difficult to get out.
"Did you go there?" Shen Qingtang looked at him. "Is everything okay?"
If you enter the territory where those monsters are, will you risk your life before you can get out?
"This thing is precious, you don't have to do this for me." Shen Qingtang was a little touched. He naturally knew that this thing was extremely valuable, and he was grateful for his disciple's kindness, but he didn't want him to go to such a dangerous place for such a thing.
"Master, don't you like it?" The smile on Lin Su's face faded a little, with a hint of loss.
