"Since Master has made such a rare trip, would you be so kind as to compose a poem for your disciple on this bridge?"
"It would be perfect to borrow your calligraphy, Master, to add a touch of elegance to this lake."
Xiao Xuan looked at the Qin beast and asked.
Qin Shou stroked his chin, suddenly becoming interested.
I'm an expert at this!
My spiritual sanctuary is the five-thousand-year-old civilization of China...
"Alright, then I'll reluctantly accept."
Qin Shou said calmly, his hands behind his back.
Xiao Xuan immediately and tactfully handed over an ink brush. The brush was a magical object called "Spring Flower Wonderful Brush," which had once been held by a Confucian sage and was imbued with a touch of noble spirit.
Qin Shou picked up his brush and wrote again, and soon a poem was finished.
"The square pond is as clear as a mirror, and koi carp swim and dance in the waves."
"I gaze upon the warm spring mists and waters, eager to witness a leap that transforms into a divine dragon."
Xiao Xuan silently chanted twice, his eyes brightening slightly.
"Oh my, Master, how can you be so outstanding? You're beautiful, your handwriting is beautiful, and your poems are beautiful too. If others knew, they would all be so envious of me for having such an excellent master."
Xiao Xuan gave a thumbs up and praised him repeatedly.
He truly loved this poem, especially the last line, "How wonderful to witness a leaping dragon transforming into a divine dragon!" Upon closer reading, it evoked a wondrous feeling of turning decay into magic and gaining new life.
This is quite similar to the important rebirth he has achieved in his life.
Could it be that Master wrote this poem specifically for me, to enlighten me?
"Haha, your teacher is actually just average!"
Qin Shou laughed loudly and waved his hand modestly.
At the same time, I felt quite smug. This disciple was not a waste of my time. This flattery, ugh, this immortal flattery is really comfortable. I haven't been praised by anyone for a long time since my senior sister left. I am just a child who has lived three lifetimes and hundreds of years.
"Master, may I ask you something?"
Xiao Xuan suddenly asked with a serious expression.
"explain. "
"Master, how did you become so outstanding?"
"Hahaha.........."
Upon hearing this, Qin Shou immediately tilted his head back and laughed triumphantly. Then, with a "smack," he slapped Xiao Xuan on the head and said sternly:
"You unfilial disciple, are you eyeing my pockets again?!"
"Ah... oh... I didn't..."
Xiao Xuan blinked his big, innocent eyes.
"Hmph, that was for the best."
Qin Shou pursed his lips and continued walking forward.
Xiao Xuan jogged after him, wondering to himself, "How did Master know?"
"Sigh, this is difficult, very difficult!"
Xiao Xuan shook his head and smiled:
"Master, this way please. I'll take you to see the Ascension Tower, which I personally supervised the construction of for you."
The two crossed the Rainbow Bridge and traveled more than ten miles west, where they arrived at a magnificent and imposing pavilion.
Qin Shou raised his eyes and looked around. He saw that the pavilion was over a thousand feet tall, towering into the sky, and extremely magnificent. If one stood downstairs, one could not see the top of the building with the naked eye. One could only see the halfway up the building, which was shrouded in clouds and mist.
Qin Shou and Xiao Xuan climbed to the top of the building and looked out into the distance. The clouds stretched for thousands of miles, and the surrounding mist moved around them. A large sun hung overhead, but the sunlight, flowing down through the array above the building, became extremely gentle.
"Master, this is the Ascension Tower, nine hundred and ninety-nine zhang tall, symbolizing that you will one day attain enlightenment and ascend to immortality!"
Xiao Xuan laughed heartily, "Master, do you believe me? One day, I will build you a magnificent immortal tower, nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine feet tall, in the supreme Central Divine Continent, so that you can see the moon whenever you look up."
"Hehe, that must be beautiful!"
Qin Shou's lips curled into a slight smile as he couldn't help but fall into his apprentice's delicious pancake again.
"However, Master, your disciple is still too weak. I need to develop and improve my cultivation, but developing power and improving cultivation are not so easy. They require resources. Alas, your disciple is poor..."
Qin Shou glanced at Xiao Xuan, his eyes suddenly turning hostile.
"Master, what kind of look is that? Your disciple certainly didn't mean to ask you for resources."
Xiao Xuan said firmly, "Master, if you don't believe me, I swear to heaven."
"Alright, these are just mere resources; how can they compare to the heartfelt sentiments of my beloved disciple?"
Qin Shou waved his hand in acknowledgment.
Xiao Xuan rubbed his hands together and chuckled, "Hehe, Master, how much are you planning to sponsor me...?"
"What are you sponsoring?"
Qin Shou looked at Xiao Xuan with a puzzled expression.
"When children grow up, they will eventually have to learn to walk on their own and earn their own money. I am training you."
"well........"
Qin Shou sighed and said earnestly, "Money is nothing, it's worthless, because I have plenty of money. But you must understand my good intentions. Not giving you money hurts me even more than it hurts you, you know?"
Qin Shou looked at Xiao Xuan with a deep expression, "Disciple, you must understand your master's good intentions, right?"
"Well........."
Xiao Xuan's lips twitched, and he nodded repeatedly, "I understand, I understand completely."
"That's good. You truly are my good disciple."
Qin Shou patted Xiao Xuan on the shoulder and smiled leisurely.
His gaze also swept over the layers of clouds, taking in the magnificent landscape.
The mountains and rivers are so beautiful; no wonder so many people throughout history have wanted to become emperors on earth.
Standing here, Qin Shou couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement and a sense of elation.
"My heart swells with the rising clouds, my eyes follow the returning birds!"
Qin Shou couldn't help but sigh.
"Master, what a beautiful poem!"
Xiao Xuan gave a timely thumbs up.
Qin Shou glared at him, "You have to say it."
"Hehe, Master, I wonder if you could help me set up a grand formation above the palace?"
Xiao Xuan took the opportunity to ask.
Qin Shou turned around, startled. "I don't know how to set up formations."
Xiao Xuan immediately flattered him, saying, "Master, your talent is unparalleled, surpassing all others throughout history. No one can rival you. I believe that as long as you are willing to learn, you will quickly master even a simple formation."
"That's true."
Qin Shou nodded in agreement, then said, "Alright then, I'll stay here and study formations for the time being."
"Thank you, Master."
Xiao Xuan was overjoyed and immediately said, "Master, I will have someone collect all the array formation manuals and send them to you tomorrow."
"Okay." Qin Shou nodded.
"Then may I ask, Master, is there anything else you require me to do?"
"That's all. From now on, I will stay in this building. Unless there's something urgent, please don't let anyone disturb me."
"Yes, Master. Would you like your disciple to prepare some delicacies for you?"
Xiao Xuan continued.
Cultivators who reach a certain level no longer need to eat grains, but he knew that his master would often eat some earthly delicacies.
"No need."
Qin Shou waved his hand. Since he wasn't on Turtle Mountain and there weren't any little ones in front of him, Qin Shou lost his appetite for earthly delicacies.
For Qin Shou, eating delicious food is a pleasure, but what's more important is why he eats and who he eats with.
When there was immortality on the mountain, Qin Shou only wanted to keep his disciple company and chat for a while when he ate every day, otherwise he was afraid that his disciple would be too lonely after a long time.
After all, the food Changsheng cooked back then was really awful.
Later, when Xiao Qing'er came up the mountain, Qin Shou really enjoyed the meal. Just looking at Xiao Qing'er made him happy, as did the braised pork that had inherited his senior sister's unique skill.
Then came Yi Cheng, Xiao Pang, and Hei Tu. Watching them eat was truly delightful; they even made pork bran taste like dragon meat, making one want to try a bite.
As he was thinking, Qin Shou suddenly burst into laughter, leaving Xiao Xuan completely bewildered.
"Master, what are you laughing at?"
"I'm laughing at you, you idiot."
“.............”
"Master, I shall take my leave now."
