"That's not the case." Shen Qingtang didn't know what to say. The words turned around on the tip of his tongue, and he could only say bluntly, "I like it."
If you like this thing, you will naturally feel happy.
"As long as you like it." Lin Su smiled again, "Since it is a gift for Master, as long as Master likes it, all my hard work will be rewarded."
"Yeah." Shen Qingtang responded.
The two of them sat quietly. Even if there was more tea, it would eventually be finished. Lin Su finished drinking and stood up, bowing and saying, "Thank you, Master, for the tea. I will go and rest for a while. Tomorrow, I will work with you to prepare for the affairs of the sect."
"Yeah." Shen Qingtang responded, "Go ahead."
Lin Su turned around and went back to his room. After so many years, he still felt a warm sensation when he entered the room. It was obvious that the room had been waiting for him to come back.
He took off his outer clothes, bathed and changed his clothes. No matter how good he was at the Cleansing Technique, it could never compare to the feeling of cleanliness that comes from taking a bath.
After changing into new clothes and lying down on the soft bed, the tension and fatigue of the past six years seemed to be completely relieved at this moment.
Shen Qingtang watched him leave. The relief she felt upon his return seemed to descend upon her chest once again. She could hear the sounds of what he was doing, the splashing of water, the rubbing of his clothes. She lay down on the bed, feeling very grounded, but with a feeling of having nowhere to put her strength.
Shen Qingtang covered his chest with his hands. This feeling was so unpredictable and he had never experienced it before. Could there be something wrong with his state of mind?
Long breathing sounds came from the room next door. The tea had gone cold. Shen Qingtang sat cross-legged in meditation, looking inward at himself, but found that there was no change in his internal cultivation, and his path was still as stable as before. However, he felt depressed and it seemed difficult to relieve it. If this continued, he might develop a demon in his heart.
Such mental fluctuations are indeed not beneficial to one's own practice. After this event is over, I will go into seclusion for a while.
After a day of rest, Lin Su looked at Shen Qingtang's arrangements for the recruitment event. Recruiting disciples was actually very simple.
First of all, he cannot be a demon cultivator. This level is enough to be tested when entering the Heavenly Gate of Jiuxiao Xianmen. All demonic energy cannot escape the power of the Heavenly Pillar.
The second is spiritual roots. Single spiritual roots are top-grade spiritual roots, while mutated spiritual roots are top-grade spiritual roots. Those with such spiritual roots can directly enter the inner gate after passing the inner demon level. Those who do not have such spiritual roots, but have double or triple spiritual roots, if they have outstanding cultivation or excellent state of mind, can also be accepted as registered disciples by the masters of each peak. As for the remaining mixed spiritual roots, they can stay in the outer gate, and those without spiritual roots can naturally go back to where they came from.
The third test is the inner demon realm. Every inner sect disciple must pass the inner demon realm test to ensure that there are no evil thoughts in their hearts and their minds are righteous. Otherwise, no matter how excellent their qualifications are, they will not be selected.
In the original world line, the first two items did not pose any obstacles to the protagonist Chu Xi, but the third one. Although he had no intention of harming others after being reborn, he had a deep hatred for his enemies in his previous life. He struggled in the inner demon realm for a long time before he came out of it. It was precisely because of this tenacity of his heart that he was noticed by Shen Qingtang.
The elders always set different levels for the assessment. Shen Qingtang watched Lin Su carefully examine the area and asked, "What do you think?"
"Disciple thinks it's great, but there seems to be fluctuations of spiritual energy in the Heart Demon Realm. Has anyone entered?" Lin Su asked.
Shen Qingtang responded, "I'll let my disciples go in to test its power. Do you want to go in and try it?"
Although it is a test of one's character, it is also a test of one's temper. In the realm of the inner demon, one can detect the shortcomings of one's inner desires. If one can overcome them, one's state of mind will naturally be improved.
"If my disciple fails, will he be expelled from the inner sect?" Lin Su frowned.
"Of course not. The way you came in is different from the way they did. No matter what you look like, you are my disciple." Shen Qingtang said, "If you can't get out, I will pull you out."
"What if I pass? Master, will there be any reward?" Lin Su pulled his sleeve and asked.
After six years, the young man's face has become more elegant and he looks much calmer than before. However, he never expected that his temper in front of him would still be the same as before. Shen Qingtang asked, "What do you want?"
Lin Su glanced at his long hair, stretched out his fingers to twist a strand of it, and said, "Wait until I come out."
Shen Qingtang felt her hair being pulled. When she turned her head, Lin Su had already let go of his hand naturally, as if he was not the one who did the bad thing. Shen Qingtang looked at him helplessly: "Did you like pulling little girls' hair when you were a child?"
"How could I be so naughty? I just saw a leaf stuck in Master's hair, so I helped him get it off." Lin Su said, holding a leaf between his fingers and waving it.
"Thank you." Shen Qingtang realized that he had misunderstood him and thanked him.
"Master, why should you be polite to your disciple? It's my duty." Lin Su laughed, turned around and walked into the realm of inner demons.
Shen Qingtang still remembered what he had said. In this world, there is no such thing as should or should not, only whether one has done one's best. But watching his back as he calmly walked in, Shen Qingtang suddenly remembered something: "I didn't bring the jade slip with me."
But as soon as the words came out of his mouth, he had already been immersed in it.
The Heart Demon Realm was set up by Shen Qingtang himself. The cultivators who enter it must bring a life-saving jade slip. If they pinch it when they can no longer hold on, they will be eliminated and teleported out immediately, so as to avoid being immersed in it and unable to break free. However, Lin Su did not bring it with him when he entered.
The Heart Demon Realm is not big, but it is a fantasy world of its own. When Lin Su stepped into it, he saw a brilliant starry sky. It looked somewhat similar to the original world, but not the same.
The Inner Demon Realm can measure one's inner fears and can also guide people based on their greed and desires. Lin Su had some expectations when he entered it, but when the scene in front of him changed and he saw the piles of gold and silver, he lost interest a little. Human greed and desire are the seven deadly sins: gluttony, greed, laziness, envy, lust, pride, and anger. Everyone has them, and excess leads to loss.
He could ignore the first five of delicious food, gold and silver, a comfortable home, people's provocations, excellent talents, and beggars crawling on the roadside. But for the beggar among the people, Lin Su gave him a steamed bun and taught him how to weave straw sandals step by step.
It is better to teach a man to fish than to teach him how to fish. He is proud, but he does not look down on anyone.
The scene broke and changed, a pair of arms wrapped around the waist, the cold fragrance was very faint, but very familiar.
Lin Su's body stiffened. The owner of the arm pulled him around until he saw that extremely familiar face: "Master?"
"Yeah." Shen Qingtang responded, put her hands on his waist, and leaned her head on his shoulder. Her hair was just at the tip of her nose, and her cold fragrance was a bit seductive. "Are you missing me?"
"Of course." Lin Su reached out and grabbed his waist.
