"Hey, Master, wait a minute! I was just joking."
Xiao Siwu pinched his nose and chuckled awkwardly.
He knew perfectly well that his master was just joking with him and simply wanted to give him a kick.
"snort. "
Qin Shou snorted coldly, "My only pursuit in life is immortality, and I only wish to stay on this mountain. I'm not going anywhere else. Don't try to tempt me to go down the mountain, you brat."
"Okay, okay, if it's not raining, it's not raining."
Xiao Siwu stuck out his tongue. "I never really expected Master to come down the mountain."
"After all, I've been on the mountain for so many years, and I know that you, Master, are terribly afraid of death and would never want to come down the mountain."
Xiao Siwu lay on the grass, gazing at the starry sky, and said slowly:
"Master, more than half a year ago I bid you farewell, and you said I should wait for a cup of farewell wine. When will your wine be ready?"
"Tonight"
"Tonight?"
"immediately"
"immediately? "
"immediately"
"immediately? "
"Yes, immediately!"
Qin Shou had barely finished speaking.
Beneath the peach tree, a ray of starlight spread and flowed into the night.
Qin Shou got up, took a small hoe, walked to the sapling, gently dug through the soil, and took out the Seven Star Heavenly Pearl Wine that had been buried for many years.
"Master, what kind of fine wine is this now!?"
Xiao Siwu became interested.
Over the years, his master had brewed many spirit wines with extraordinary effects, which were buried all over the ground in the courtyard. Some of these wines were even dug up and drunk by Xiao Siwu and Yicheng before they were even "cooked".
"This is the Seven Star Heavenly Pearl Wine, which is brewed over twelve years using the starlight descended from the Big Dipper, which occurs once every sixty years, as a guide, combined with thirty-eight kinds of precious spiritual herbs and medicines of grade three or four or above."
This wine allows anyone below the Divine Transformation Realm to break through to the next realm without any conditions.
But this is not its limit; this wine can help one break through seven realms in a row.
With a flick of his sleeve, Qin Shou conjured seven cups that were filled with wines of various colors.
"The wine is divided into seven cups, each named after one of the seven stars of the Big Dipper: Tian Shu, Tian Quan, Tian Xuan, Tian Ji, Yu Heng, Kai Yang, and Yao Guang."
"This wine is truly amazing!"
Xiao Siwu lay on the table, staring at the seven cups of Seven Star Wine, his eyes shining, eager to try it.
"Hehe, why don't you try it and see how amazing it is?"
Qin Shou laughed.
With a slight lift of his finger, the first cup of wine slowly floated up and hovered in front of Xiao Siwu.
"Let's drink."
"good. "
Xiao Siwu grabbed the wine glass and poured it directly into his stomach.
Buzz!
In an instant, Xiao Siwu's body trembled, and starlight spread out from his body, enveloping him.
"Such dense starlight! Such immense energy!"
"If an ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivator drank this wine, wouldn't they probably explode and die instantly?"
Xiao Si exclaimed in surprise, smacked his lips, and his eyes were filled with excitement and anticipation.
He could sense a rich Daoist aura flowing within the wine; no wonder it could help powerful cultivators at the Golden Core and Nascent Soul stages to comprehend the Dao and break through their realms.
"I'd like to see how many realms I, Xiao Siwu, can break through!"
Xiao Siwu laughed loudly, grabbed the remaining six cups of wine on the table, and drank them all down.
A moment later, Xiao Siwu was enveloped in starlight.
Boom! Boom!
As if sensing something in the heavens, even though the Big Dipper was nowhere to be seen, seven beams of starlight descended from the void and enveloped Xiao Siwu.
Xiao Si sat cross-legged, circulating his cultivation technique, sensing and refining the vast stellar power within his body.
Ding! Ding!
A gentle evening breeze rustled the wind chimes under the eaves.
Qin Shou sat quietly to the side, protecting his disciple.
His gaze pierced through the starlit courtyard, through the vast darkness of the wilderness, and settled in the direction of a person he had never seen before, yet who held a place he longed for...
at this time--
Yunzhou.
In a dark canyon, Wen Qing is being hunted down by demonic cultivators.
The girl's figure was like a ghost, darting and flickering in the darkness, moving swiftly close to the ground.
She didn't even dare to fly high, because a high altitude would make her too conspicuous.
Moreover, this dark canyon is fraught with danger.
She came here because her only close friend, Luo Qianqian, was seriously injured and needed a Ghost Grass to save her life.
However, while vying for the Ghost Grass, he also encountered the young master of the Demonic Sect who wanted to use this herb to repair his damaged soul.
Of course, tenderness wouldn't be given to him.
So they could only flee with the herbs.
Unfortunately, the other party held a high position in the Demonic Sect and was protected by two Golden Core Realm peak cultivators.
Taking advantage of the other party's contempt for her as a cultivator at the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment, Wen Qing summoned the spirit puppet given to her by her master, destroyed half of one of their bodies, then put on the Seven Star Dragon-Stepping Boots and used the Startling Dragon Step to decisively escape.
Along the way, Wen Qing was still annoyed. The vitality of the Golden Core Realm cultivators was too tenacious, and the other side also had two early Golden Core Realm cultivators and more than a dozen Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators watching her covetously. Otherwise, she would have completely killed that Golden Core Realm cultivator just now.
"Hmph, damn it! If the spirit puppet my master gave me hadn't been damaged, I could have killed that Golden Core cultivator in one strike with that sneak attack."
At this moment, Wen Qing's expression was cold, and blood was still rolling down her forehead. She had been hit by the young master of the demonic sect's golden core from a distance when she was running away. If it weren't for the protection of her top-grade magic treasure and the Water God Technique, she might have been seriously injured and surrounded by them by now.
For decades, Wen Qing has teetered on the brink of life and death countless times. At this moment, she is truly only one step away from achieving the Golden Core stage.
Once that invisible barrier is broken, one can attain the Golden Elixir.
However, even though Wen Qing had not yet formed a Golden Core, she already possessed the ability to kill early-stage Golden Core cultivators because she was equipped with many magical treasures, various high-level spells, and the [Water God Technique].
"Hehehe, little beauty, why not come back with me? My Demonic Sect's dual cultivation technique is also unparalleled in the mortal realm."
Behind Wenqing, a wanton laugh rang out.
"Hmph, you bastards, when I return to the mountain, I'll have my master beat you all to death."
Wenqing scolded angrily.
She said this not only because she genuinely thought so, but also to make them think twice before hunting her down.
After all, who would believe that a puppet possessing several high-level magic treasures, peak Golden Core Realm combat power, and the ability to kill Golden Core Realm experts beyond its own realm, wouldn't have some powerful backing?
"Hmph, so what if you truly possess extraordinary heritage?"
"My father is a powerful figure in the Demonic Sect, a Nascent Soul cultivator. How could I, the young master, fear the person behind you?"
"Hehehe, so you'd better obediently come back with me, young master. Ahahaha..."
The young master of the Demonic Sect laughed loudly.
Wenqing appeared rapidly, then turned back and shouted:
"Hmph, trash. My master slays Nascent Soul stage experts like slicing chickens, it's as easy as cutting them up."
Similarly, silently say in your heart, "Master, I'm sorry. I borrowed the power of your Golden Core to perform the Void-Piercing Technique."
"Really? Then ask your master to come and save you, hahaha..."
It seemed the young master of the Demonic Sect was about to catch up with Wen Qing.
Wen Qing immediately threw something golden behind her, shouting:
"Spirit Puppet, kill him."
The young master of the Demonic Sect and the people behind him were startled and immediately stopped in their tracks, retreating to avoid the attack.
Thud—
A fireworks display burst forth in the canyon, so beautiful it was almost embarrassing.
"Hmph, cowards, you're scared by a low-level firework talisman."
A warm, mocking voice came from the far distance.
"Ha, an interesting woman. Go after her, I want her alive."
The young master of the Demonic Sect had a sharp look in his eyes, and a cold smile played on his lips.
......
Much later...
Wen Qing, who had been lying dormant in a dark swamp, slowly poked her head out. She gently scanned her surroundings with her spiritual sense and, finding no one around, did not rush to climb out. Instead, she waited in the same spot for another hour.
Only after confirming that the other party was no longer nearby did he dare to climb out of the swamp and leap away in the opposite direction.
"Hmph, wait until my master becomes a Void Realm expert, then I'll make sure he beats you all to death."
Decades of experience have not only made Wenqing very sophisticated, but have also added a touch of coldness and indifference to her originally innocent and pretty face.
The only thing that remains unchanged is that I often think of my master.
Only when she talked about her master did she feel like she was still that carefree child on Turtle Mountain.
