Chapter 23



After hearing what Qiu Xier said, Ranran also went to look in front of the bronze mirror and found that her skin had really improved a lot.

She thought of what her second uncle had said, that the ice lotus in the lotus pond was originally a spiritual object that harmonized the foundation of human spiritual power. Mu Qingge had used it to harmonize Su Yishui's aura back then.

Is it because of soaking in the water from the lotus pond that her skin is so good?

After hearing Ranran's guess, Qiu Xier couldn't help but be eager to try it out, and immediately prepared to go to the lotus pond with Ranran to take a bath.

If I could remove the freckles on her face, all my efforts in cultivating immortality would be worthwhile!

It just so happens that today, Master is going to take Master Uncle and two brothers down the mountain to visit friends. There are no men in the mountains, so it would be nice to take an open-air bath!

When they arrived at the pool, Ranran changed her clothes, wrapped herself in a thick bra, and went into the water to swim a lap.

Qiu Xier was originally worried about the cold water, knowing that winter is approaching.

But seeing Ran Ran swimming so happily, she tentatively tested the water temperature with her hand. It was indeed not that cold. So she couldn't wait to take off her coat, wrapped herself in a bra, and jumped into the water.

But after swimming in the water for a while, Qiu Xier suddenly felt an indescribable chill that penetrated every pore of her body. Not long after, Qiu Xier screamed and shouted, "Hurry up... I... I'm going to freeze!"

She swam hurriedly to the shore and asked Ran Ran: "Why is the water so cold?"

Ran Ran was stunned, because she didn't feel cold at all! She even felt that the water warmed her whole body and made her feel indescribably comfortable!

But Qiu Xier didn't seem to be exaggerating. She was shivering all over while soaking in the water. She began to feel cold and white frost started to form on her skin. She was about to be frozen into an ice man!

Before she could swim to the shore, her limbs became stiff and she stared at Ranran in horror with her mouth half open. She wanted to call for help, but her tongue was frozen.

Ranran swam over quickly and wanted to push Qiu Xier to shore, but how could she save someone with her two doggy paddles?

The blood gradually faded from Qiu Xier's face, and she was about to be frozen to death. Ran Ran was really anxious, she wished she could fly to the shore with Xier in her arms.

At this moment, the water in the pool began to surge, especially the water around Ran Ran, which seemed to be boiling. An indescribable heat began to circulate in his dantian.

When she could no longer restrain herself, she suddenly jumped out of the pond, stepped lightly, and landed on the lotus leaf.

She was stunned for a moment, and without thinking too much, she reached out to pull Xier, who was gradually stiffening in the water. But Xier was quite heavy, and she couldn't pull her up at all.

At this moment, a white shadow flashed in front of him, and Su Yishui suddenly appeared. He waved his long finger, and the water surged, pushing Qiu Xier steadily to the shore.

Second uncle Yu Tong quickly placed his palm on Qiu Xier's back and used his internal energy to force out the cold air that had invaded her body. Then, first uncle Yu Chen helped pick up the unconscious Qiu Xier and sent her back to bed to rest.

The two senior brothers who had just returned with their master were stunned by this sudden scene.

Especially Xue Ranran, who was standing lightly on the lotus leaf, in a white wet skirt, revealing her slender shoulders, her slightly wet hair sticking to her cheeks and neck, her slender ankles constantly dripping with crystal water droplets, and she was playing with Xuan'er on the green lotus leaf...she looked so... seductive.

Before Ranran could react, she saw her master with a sullen face suddenly take off his cloak, then fly up, wrap the cloak around her, and bring her back to the shore.

The two male disciples stretched their necks to see, but Su Yishui stood in front of her, barely blocking the two male disciples' view.

When they saw the Master's piercingly cold gaze, they realized they had lost their composure.

Su Yishui said coldly: "There is nothing to do here, you can all go and practice your skills!"

Gao Cang and Bai Baishan were originally following their master to the Thatched Cottage to build their foundation and practice Qi. They did not expect such an accident to happen when they passed by the lotus pond, and they were completely confused.

But I have to say, why does my junior sister have such a good figure?

In my impression, she should be a skinny and weak girl, with a long wet skirt that was close to her body. She was really curvy. Unfortunately, after a startling glance, the master stood in front of them. The two of them had to walk away with regret.

"Why do you want to take off your clothes and swim? Don't you know that there will be people passing by here?"

After everyone left, Su Yishui, with a cold face, picked up the clothes on the ground, wrapped Ranran like a dumpling, and began to scold people.

Ranran thought that they had gone down the mountain and would not be back for a while, but she did not expect that the master and the others would come back at this critical moment.

A disaster had almost occurred just now. She knew she was in the wrong, so she could only lower her head and listen to her master's lecture.

However, she couldn't help but interrupt her master's endless lecture and asked impatiently, "What happened to Xi'er? Why did she almost freeze to death?"

Su Yishui obviously didn't say he had a great time, but seeing Ran Ran's eager look, he still explained with a straight face: "The lotus in the lotus pond is planted with ice lotus, which is extremely cold. They have been growing in this lotus pond for many years, and the water quality here has long been changed. Not everyone can go down to play in the water. You belong to the wood element, and your internal needs are empty. This ice lotus is very beneficial to you. But if the unsuitable person goes down, it is easy to absorb too much cold air and freeze to death."

Hearing this, Ranran couldn't help but gasp. In other words, if Su Yishui hadn't come back in time, Xier might have been frozen to death!

Seeing her guilty look, Su Yishui softened his tone: "I didn't explain it to you clearly. Let them stay away from this Ice Lotus Pond. Yu Tong has already given Qiu Xier the Warming Pill. She was found in time. She will be fine after a while."

Ran Ran nodded vigorously. She would never dare to bring Xier to play in the water again. But just now, did she... stand on the lotus leaf?

Now that she felt relieved, she finally remembered that she had jumped onto the lotus leaf in a hurry just now.

Su Yishui looked at her thoughtfully and said, "You are naturally lazy. It turns out that you need some pressure to make progress..."

It seems that this accident also opened the master's mind. A teacher is like a chef, who must cut the meat carefully. For a girl like Xue Ranran who has no ambition to improve herself and only wants to get married, she needs to be given some pressure to improve herself.

So the next task was not just walking on the lotus leaves. Su Yishui also found a bucket of pebbles and used them to hit Ran Ran who was standing on the lotus leaves.

Although the master didn't use his real strength, it still hurt when he hit her. In order to dodge, Ranran had to jump hard, as if she was possessed by a rabbit spirit.

As for the other fellow disciples, they were really envious of Xue Ranran, a good-for-nothing in cultivation, who could make rapid progress and master the art of floating on water.

Bai Baishan's determination to seek the truth, which had been wavering a few days ago, has now become firm.

He originally suspected that his master was unwilling to teach them real skills and only asked them to carry sandbags up and down the mountain every day. But now it seems that Su Yishui does have real skills. Not only can he deal with Wei Yan, the number one magic cultivator, but he can also teach a useless person like his little junior sister to excel.

Such a master is really hard to find! But is the master a little biased? Why is the little apprentice sister making rapid progress, but why hasn't he taught him real skills for a long time?

Two days later, Bai Baishan couldn't help but ask Su Yishui why he didn't teach him a higher level of magic.

Su Yishui glanced at him and said calmly: "When you enter the cultivation world, you start with the foundation. The higher your cultivation level, the harder it is to change your foundation. If you regret becoming Xishan's disciple, it's not too late to change now. If your cultivation level is more advanced and you want to leave, you will have to give up your foundation and it will inevitably hurt you. I hope you won't regret it if you learn later."

Ran Ran was listening at the side, and she recalled that when Jiuhua sent someone to ask for something, the second senior brother was very attentive and seemed to want to establish a relationship with Mu Qingge and recognize his ancestry.

Su Yishui obviously noticed the second senior brother's little thoughts, so he spoke out to give him some advice.

Bai Baishan had never thought that his previous little tricks were seen by his master, and that his master had spoken them out so frankly in front of all his fellow disciples. He felt ashamed immediately and quickly explained that he had no intention of changing his master.

Su Yishui looked at him and said calmly, "There were many disciples who came to Xishan to worship. Why did I choose you? It's because your ancestors all have some connection with Xishan. Someone once owed you a favor. I just fulfilled the promise made by an old friend. However, the relationship between master and disciple is deep and cannot be controlled by humans. If you regret it now, you can always leave the mountain."

After saying that, he stood up and walked out of the dining hall.

Obviously, this is also the answer to Baibaishan's question - since you have entered Suyishui's mountain gate, you should obey his rules. If you are asked to carry sandbags every day, you should do it obediently. If you are impatient and feel that you have not learned any skills, now the mountain gate is open and you can leave.

But if you regret it and want to leave, don't blame your master for taking back the basic things he taught you!

Ran Ran bit her chopsticks, feeling that her master was warning her. Once she had embarked on the path of cultivation in the West Mountain of Yongcheng, she could not give up just because she wanted to.

She sighed slightly, thinking that if she didn't get married and just practiced Taoism in Xishan, she didn't know how disappointed her parents would be. She also didn't know if they would be able to give birth to brothers and sisters in the future. Otherwise, there would be no one to take care of them, so how could she practice Taoism in peace?

However, Qiu Xier didn't take Ran Ran's worries seriously: "Who said that cultivators can't get married? If you reach a certain level, finding a fairy partner is the real joy! Besides, as the saying goes, if one person achieves enlightenment, everyone will benefit. If you really achieve enlightenment, will you still worry about your parents being left alone?"

Ran Ran was not a person who worried too much. After listening to what the Third Senior Sister said, she felt that it made a lot of sense. She used to think that she was a useless immortal cultivator and was short-sighted.

Now that she has discovered the way and entered the door, she naturally needs to focus on learning how to protect herself first.

Ever since Xier fell into the water, Ranran was so stimulated that he learned the art of light body without any instruction. After mastering it, Su Yishui seemed to have found a way to teach Ranran. He kept giving Ranran more rewards, and several of his fellow brothers and sisters also received the "favor".

On this day, the master solemnly announced that he would take them down the mountain to study and practice!

This story begins with the last time Master went down the mountain to visit a friend.

It is said that the person the master went to see that time was an old friend from twenty years ago.

This old friend named Qin Xuanjiu is now the general guarding the important northwest town of Wangxiang Pass. This time he came to the foot of the West Mountain, eager to see Su Yishui.

However, Su Yishui changed his usual cold attitude, went down the mountain to meet him in person, and even had a drink with him in the pavilion at the foot of the mountain.

The Qin general originally disdained to drink with the Suyi River, but as if he had been stimulated by something before, he was eager to drink to drown his sorrows, and for a while he drank a little too much.
