Li Mingke sat upright in front of Jinyun Immortal Venerable. Jinyun Immortal Venerable placed one hand on her wrist, and she felt a force enter her body and travel along her meridians.
Jinyun Immortal Venerable frowned, and after a moment, withdrew his hand. "There is something wrong with your spiritual platform. In addition to your own, there are at least two external forces suppressing it. This is the fundamental reason why you cannot cultivate."
Li Mingke nodded. "My mother said that because I was born with a congenital defect, she had no choice but to resort to this measure to save my life."
"You're like this... Fine, I'll give you two books. Just focus on cultivating your mind. Cultivating your mind can also improve your realm. There have been great beings in the past who became famous by cultivating their minds." Jinyun Immortal Venerable pointed out a clear path for her.
Cultivating the mind is a long and lonely process, because cultivating immortal techniques is much simpler than cultivating the mind, so very few people cultivate the mind, but it is perfect for Li Mingke.
"Thank you, Master." She bowed to Immortal Venerable Jinyun.
Immortal Venerable Jinyun simply nodded and then brewed her a cup of tea.
"Don't be impatient. If you have any problems, come to me directly."
"yes……"
Li Mingke picked up the teacup, and a delicate fragrance filled his nostrils. His own reflection was shattered in the small teacup.
She took a bite.
The Immortal Venerable Jinyun asked, "How is it? How does it taste?"
The warm tea rolled around on my tongue a few times before flowing down my throat and into my stomach, instantly giving me a light and warm feeling.
"Like snow warmed by the sun on plum blossoms..."
Li Mingke also found this description strange, but that's just how she felt.
She was still enjoying the fragrance of the tea when Jinyun Immortal Venerable suddenly lost his focus and knocked over the teacup.
"...It snowed heavily in the yard, but the next day the sun came out, and as I ran in the sun, snowflakes from the plum blossoms fell into my mouth..."
His young wife, Hanjian, described it the same way when she first tasted this tea.
He used to laugh at her for her vivid imagination, but now, someone else is saying the same thing...
Li Mingke watched helplessly as Jinyun Immortal Venerable's tea splattered all over him, leaving a conspicuous dark stain.
Have you ever drunk this kind of tea before?
Li Mingke felt that the gaze of the Immortal Venerable Jinyun was unusually deep.
"...No, this is my first time," she said truthfully.
Jinyun Immortal Venerable sighed, "Indeed, this 'Plum Blossom Snow' is a specialty of Yixiantian and has never been circulated outside. How could she have drunk it before?"
In fact, the name "Mei Xue" was chosen by Ban Jian.
but……
He carefully examined his newly accepted apprentice, who was looking at him with a mixture of confusion and trepidation.
Perhaps others who drank it would describe it the same way, and he's making a fuss over nothing.
"Master...?" He heard his disciple call out to him.
"It's nothing, I was just thinking about some things from the past." He shook his head to indicate that he was fine.
"There are still some snacks on the table, you can have them, I'm going back now." He got up to leave.
"Respectfully seeing off Master." Li Mingke also hurriedly stood up.
After the Immortal Venerable Jinyun had gone far away, Li Mingke sat down again and began to examine the pastries on the table. Several exquisite pastries were made into various shapes. She picked up a peach blossom-shaped one, which was pink and tender, and put it in her mouth. The fragrance of peach blossoms immediately filled her mouth.
Surprisingly delicious.
She tried several other dishes, all of which suited her taste, and enjoying them with "Plum Blossom Snow" was truly a delight.
So Li Mingke just sat there, eating and drinking for a while, watching the clouds drift by in the sky, not thinking about anything, letting time flow by.
Immortal Venerable Jinyun returned to his Rui'ai Pavilion and changed out of his soiled clothes.
"Banjian, I laughed at you back then, but now someone has come along who said the same thing to you."
When Banjian was mentioned, a gentle smile appeared in Jinyun Immortal Venerable's eyes.
“I have taken on a new apprentice. She is only 17 years old this year. It is said that she came to the Immortal Sect when she was 12 years old, the same age as you when you came to my side.”
“But he’s a boy, unlike you. If she were a girl, I would have to consider whether she is your reincarnation.”
"Banjian, you must be seventeen years old this year. For so many years, I have been searching for someone with the 'Clear Eyes,' but unfortunately, I have not found one. Is it because you have not been reincarnated, or are you deliberately hiding and unwilling to see me?"
His hand stroked a painting on the table, a picture of a bird pecking its feathers. It was a painting that Banjian had left unfinished by his desk before he left.
Everything Banjian learned was taught by him, including painting. Although the brushstrokes in this painting were a bit immature, in his eyes, no master could compare.
At that moment, a small bird landed on the windowsill, and Banjian excitedly spread out his drawing paper, wanting to capture the scene in a drawing.
Unfortunately, the bird flew away, and so did his half-sight.
He recalled the absurd things that happened when he took on his apprentices.
What is Luan Hua doing here? Didn't that person say he would never set foot in the immortal realm again? What made him break his vow? Perhaps he discovered Ban Jian's whereabouts?
He went to find the sect leader.
"Jinyun, what brings you here?" The sect leader stroked his beard.
"I have been in seclusion for the past few years. Now that I have some free time, I would like to ask the sect leader to come and have a chat." Jinyun Immortal Venerable bowed and sat down opposite the sect leader.
He spoke his mind.
"During my years of seclusion, have I encountered anyone with keen insight?"
The sect leader sighed, "Alas, after all these years, you still haven't let go!"
"How can I let her go? She was clearly mine from the beginning. I raised her for so long, but because of the two-faced people below me, I lost her! Heaven made her my wife, what right do they have to say no?"
As Jinyun Immortal Venerable spoke, his hands were clenched into fists as he tried to suppress his anger and grief.
"Sigh..." The sect leader sighed and shook his head. "Everything was normal when you were in seclusion, and the Demon Lord didn't make any moves."
"Yeah……"
It seems that Luan Hua has discovered nothing in these five years.
"Then why did he suddenly barge in when I was accepting disciples? Did he really discover something? Did he see her... in the Immortal Sect...?"
At that time, Demon Lord Luan Hua was so eager to make him hand over half of his treasure.
"I don't know, maybe he wanted to see you take on a disciple? Since he couldn't think of any other reason, he used... as an excuse."
Upon hearing the sect leader's words, Immortal Venerable Jinyun displayed a disdainful expression, "Amazing."
"Sect Leader, although I have emerged from seclusion, there are still some matters for which I need your assistance. If you receive any news from Ban Jian, please inform me promptly." He bowed solemnly to the Sect Leader.
"Jinyun, why are you doing this to yourself! Fine, I'll keep an eye out and contact you if I find any clues!" The sect leader had long advised Jinyun to give up, but he refused to.
Is such persistence a good thing?
A young man of extraordinary talent and beauty, for the sake of a woman, has been unwilling to take the step of ascension.
A brief encounter both made and destroyed him...
