Chapter 4 [004] New Junior (2)
Elder Cangyan yawned, his eyes were a little dark, and he looked a little weak, but his voice was still melodious and beautiful, like the sound of a spring in people's hearts.
The woman pointed at the young man and said, "He will be your junior apprentice in the future. You should take care of him."
Cangying was startled: "Junior brother?"
"Well, start with the most basic herbal medicine class this afternoon. Go find Master Lao. You know what to do."
"Yes." Cangying nodded. Seeing that the master was already tired, he waved to Zhongli Jin and whispered, "Junior Brother Zhongli, let's go. The master needs to rest."
"Okay." The young man nodded slightly, responding with a gentle curve at the corner of his lips.
Although the woman was easy to talk to and Sect Leader Shi Yue had also informed her in advance, Zhong Li Jin still had to spend some time talking to her in order to gain her full approval and let her see his sincerity.
"Junior Brother Zhongli, I will first take you to the room where you will live in the future." Cangying said.
Since the master has entrusted the person to her, she still has to do her best. Cangying tried her best to act like a senior sister and smiled at the boy in a friendly manner: "Follow me."
"Sorry for the trouble, senior sister." Zhongli Jin narrowed his eyes slightly, his expression gentle.
"It's okay, but the room hasn't been cleaned yet, it's a bit shabby, because Jinping Peak hasn't had any new disciples for a long time, and some houses haven't been tidied up, so you may need to clean it up yourself. You haven't fasted yet, so remember to go to Yuhua Peak for lunch at noon and evening, and go to the third floor of Baicao Pavilion to find Master Lao for the herbal medicine class at noon."
"Okay." The young man nodded gently, his eyebrows curved, and his handsome face showed such a gentle smile, like the flowing water in the mountains, which made people unable to help but be moved, "Thank you, Senior Sister."
Zhongli Jin was born beautiful, like a flawless jade, gentle and soft. Seeing this smile, even Cangying couldn't help but cover her chest, howling in her heart——
Shi Qing, Shi Qing! This kind of beauty, even if her spiritual roots are useless, it would be great to bring her back home to warm your bed or something like that! !

[This girl is pretty good. How about she be your wife in the future? ] A voice similar to that of an old man with a mischievous voice suddenly sounded in the boy's mind.
Zhongli Jin's eyebrows were somewhat helpless, "Senior, Senior Sister Cang and I just met, and besides, my goal in this life is to attain enlightenment and ascend to heaven, so I am really not interested in romantic matters."
[Really? You got angry right away when I mentioned breaking off the engagement.]
When Shi Qing was mentioned, the tenderness in the boy's eyes faded a little, and turned slightly cold.
[I just don't like those who take advantage of others' misfortunes. ]
[That's right. I think the girl who broke off the engagement has excellent physique and talent, but she is really cold and rude. Even if she doesn't break off the engagement, she is not a good match. Don't be angry, my dear child. I will teach you. You will be a thousand times stronger than her swordsman in the future! Our alchemy doctors not only cure diseases and save lives, but also assist in cultivating immortals. They can also kill thousands of people silently! ]
Zhong Lijin rubbed his brows: […Senior, please stop thinking about these things. Although I hate Shi Qing and want to become stronger to make her regret it, I have never thought of killing her.]
[Of course, I am just making an analogy! ]
Zhongli Jin: [……]

"A-choo!" Shi Qing was standing in front of a tower gate when he suddenly sneezed.
She rubbed her nose and returned to her normal self.
The Wind and Thunder Tower is located in the northeast of the Sanqing Blessed Land. It has six floors and six sides and is carved from a solid piece of granite. Previously, it was used as a place to survive thunder disasters. Until the current head of the sect began to imprison some highly skilled demons in it, its function gradually changed.
Although it looks small on the outside, it is actually very impressive. Once you enter, the space will seem to be magnified hundreds of times, making you feel as small as an ant.
The Demonic Martial Arts Secret Realm is about to open, and it is a secret realm that everyone in the entire cultivation world is eagerly looking forward to.
It is guarded by the immortal Lingxu, and contains many ancient relics and unknown treasures, but also many unknown dangers and monsters.
This year, the Magic and Martial Arts Secret Realm will be opened by Sanqing Mountain. Every sect in the cultivation world will send their best team to enter. How many secret treasures and opportunities they can get will depend on their abilities.
The gate of the Wind and Thunder Tower gradually opened, and as soon as a crack appeared, the demonic energy swooped down like an overwhelming force.
The tower is six stories high, but Shi Qing has only built two floors in these years.
Although the demons in the tower have been sealed and suppressed, their strength should not be underestimated.
As soon as Shi Qing stepped in, the thick black smoke was mixed with the whispers of monsters, like the chattering of rats, mosquitoes and flies.
[She’s coming! She’s coming again! She’s coming again! She’s coming again!]
[How long has it been?! If you don't want to rest, at least let us rest for a while!]
[I’m tired. I’m going to be destroyed. I don’t want to be a demon in my next life. Being a demon means not only being locked up in a tower without freedom, but also being used as a copy by others over and over again!]
[......]
Chirping and so on.
Shi Qing glanced at these little demons, his brown eyes were indifferent. All the sounds disappeared at once, as if they were frightened into silence and stopped talking.
Finally, the quarrel stopped.
Shi Qing raised his foot and walked directly towards the door leading to the second floor.
There was no need to kill the first level monsters anymore, her goal now was to completely break through the second level and reach the third level.
The moment the second-floor door opened, an even more intense and terrifying pressure came from the surging smoke.
Compared to the first floor, the demons on the second floor were even more brutal. The demonic energy that reached the sky continued to gather, like a huge monster with a tall body.
Shi Qing remained calm as he drew the long sword from his waist. The sword blade was like a glowing white jade, and in the pitch-black darkness, it became the only light illuminating the world.

When I came out of the Fenglei Tower, nearly half a month had passed.
Shi Qing reached out and wiped the blood from the corner of his lips, then he formed a seal with his fingertips, and the tower door behind him closed instantly. The evil spirits that wanted to take the opportunity to slip out were blown back by a strong wind.
As expected, he had many new wounds on his body, but they were all minor flesh wounds and healed quickly after taking a blood-restoring pill.
She flew to Jinping Peak on her sword. Cangying said that after coming out of Fenglei Tower, he must go to her for a physical check-up as soon as possible.
Shi Qing arrived at Baicao Pavilion, and the fragrance of medicine around her made her slightly tired body feel a little relieved.
At this time in the morning, the disciples of Baicao Pavilion were still refining pills.
The girl walked to a corner on the first floor with ease and sat down.
Hearing the sound, Cangying, who was cleaning the ashes in the furnace, raised his eyes, then rolled his eyes at her and said, "Congratulations, you're back two days earlier this time. Brushing the Wind and Thunder Tower really makes people progress."
The words were sarcastic and anyone could tell, but Shi Qing said, "Thank you."
Cangying: "...I'm not really praising you."
Shi Qing sat beside her, and Cangying placed his index finger on her forehead, injecting spiritual power into it.
The spiritual power circulated in the girl's body for a period of time. After confirming that there was no internal injury, she stopped and said, "Rest for a few more days this time. Even if the blood recovery pill is not a big deal, it will still have some impact on the body if it is used excessively."
"Nothing." Shi Qing waved his hand and raised his head proudly.
She generally doesn't care too much about the impact on her body.
Cangying knew that this guy didn't take the problem seriously, and said in a chilling tone: "I mean it will affect your cultivation."
Shi Qing: “…”
Shi Qing: “Oh.”
Then I can only stay in Shuangjianfeng for a few days.
*
"Senior Sister Cang, I have finished refining the elixir. Are you free now? I would like to ask you to help check the quality."
Cangying heard a gentle young voice coming from the sound transmission stone next to her. Her face turned slightly red, and her voice instantly opened up. She said softly, "Junior Brother Zhongli, just bring it here. I'll help you check it."
"Okay." said the boy.
After the call ended, Cangying looked up and saw that Shi Qing's face, which remained calm even before the collapse of the mountains and the crack of the earth, now had an expression of shock that could be clearly captured. Even the exposed bandages on her limbs were shaking slightly in surprise as if they had life.
Cangying: "...what's that look in your eyes?"
Shi Qing: "The child is afraid."
Cangying: "…What are you afraid of?"
Shi Qing: "Clip you."
"..."
