"It's not convenient to talk in this cold weather. The two guardians should go in and talk." Luosang reminded Bai Yaoyi and her sister in a low voice.
Staying outside for too long may make people feel resentful.
Bai Yaoyi's eyes suddenly lit up, and she gave Luosang a look of praise. She twisted her slender figure slightly, stepped forward quickly, and said softly: "Fellow Daoist Qi, we can talk about anything later. I will take you to my place first."
When Qi Yuan saw the beauty in front of him making an inviting gesture, he immediately nodded in agreement and entered Xiaoji Palace with her.
Bai Mengxin looked a little unhappy. If someone went to Bai Yaoyi's place, she would have trouble moving around.
If she could connect Qi Yuan with Xiaoji Palace, there would be one more Nascent Soul cultivator to cheer for Xiaoji Palace.
This would definitely help her gain a certain reputation and firmly take root in the palace.
Now that Qi Yuan was taken away by her cousin, given her gentle attitude, their relationship was bound to heat up quickly, and in the end Qi Yuan leaned towards the seventh sister.
Bai Mengxin didn't want to see this situation, but she would catch up with them first and then find an opportunity to ruin things.
At present, the detailed events in Kunwu Mountain have not been passed on to Xiaoji Palace. Although Bai Yaoyi participated in it, she didn't know much, so the two women's feelings about Qi Yuan are still at a certain stage.
The full picture is unknown.
The three Guiling demons remained silent throughout the whole process, only greeting each other superficially and had no intention of having a deep conversation.
On the vast white road, Qi Yuan and the two women walked side by side, with three ancient ferocious beasts following behind him, shuttling through the towering palaces.
"What is the relationship between Fellow Daoist Qi and the three fellow Daoists behind him?" Bai Yaoyi had discovered this problem a long time ago and now took the opportunity to ask.
Qi Yuan saved her life in Kunwu Mountain, but this was their first meeting and she didn't know much about his background.
When Bai Mengxin heard this, a look of confusion appeared on her face, and she turned her gaze to the person next to her, waiting for him to give an answer.
The demonic aura carried by the three Guiling monsters is very powerful. They are definitely not ordinary level ten monsters. Bai Mengxin also has problems in her heart.
"Master and servant relationship!" Qi Yuan responded lightly, as if it was just a trivial matter.
"Oh…"
"Ah, master and servant?"
The two sisters of the Bai family expressed surprise in unison, and then suddenly stopped their lotus steps and stood still.
This shocked Bai Mengxin and Bai Yaoyi so much that they didn't know what to say for a moment.
Qi Yuan was actually able to subdue three demon beasts in the late Nascent Soul stage. His ability was so extraordinary that it was probably only below the Spirit Transformation stage.
"Aren't you leaving?" Qi Yuan realized that there was no one around him, so he turned around and shouted at them.
The two girls from the Bai family suddenly woke up as if from a dream. They walked away in a trance, their bodies looking as if they were drunk.
He is himself in the late Nascent Soul stage, and has three level ten monsters as servants. Anyone who is not a fool can guess the terrifying power involved.
If Fellow Daoist Qi is willing to found a sect in Dajin, within a few years the strength of the sect will flourish, and its reputation will be close to that of the top ten sects, creating a legend that people will talk about with relish.
Thinking of this, Bai Mengxin became more determined. She must not let her cousin monopolize this opportunity. After all, she was the one who knew Fellow Daoist Qi first, so everything should be based on first come first served.
Bai Yaoyi didn't have so many ambitions. She had been more proactive in her actions because she didn't want to make her cousin too comfortable.
Thinking back on my actions just now, it seemed that I performed quite well. I wonder if it will make Fellow Daoist Qi think too much?
"I am also involved in Fellow Daoist Qi's visit to Xiaoji Palace. It is not polite for my seventh sister to bring someone to your place alone. Why don't we go to Binglan Pavilion instead?" Bai Mengxin said to Bai Yaoyi with a rare charming smile.
"Second sister is right, then we will go to Binglan Pavilion instead." Bai Yaoyi smiled brightly and agreed readily.
Bai Mengxin was stunned for a moment when her seventh sister agreed so readily. Although her cousin looked gentle on the outside, she was actually quite strong-willed and seldom gave up on something she had decided on.
Binglan Pavilion.
Qi Yuan took one look at the layout and then looked away. All the furniture in the pavilion met the standards for entertaining Nascent Soul cultivators and there was nothing special about it.
A cup of spiritual tea was placed on the small coffee table beside him, and wisps of white spiritual energy floated up and spread between heaven and earth.
Then he looked at the two women and said gently, "In addition to visiting the two Taoist friends, I also have something else I would like to ask Xiaoji Palace for help with."
"Friend Qi, please feel free to speak. I will do my best to help you solve your confusion within the appropriate scope." Bai Mengxin was taking a sip of spiritual tea, raised her cold eyes slightly, put down the teacup and said casually.
Qi Yuan smiled and said, "It's not a difficult task. I heard that there is an ancient ice phoenix in the depths of the ice sea. I just want to get her approximate location. Xiaoji Palace doesn't need to take risks for other things."
"Fellow Daoist Qi is really well-informed. That ancient ice phoenix lives in the depths of the extremely cold land to practice all year round and rarely steps out of the ice sea. The seniors in the palace only encountered it from afar by chance in the past, and it seems that the news has not been spread." Bai Yaoyi thought for a moment, then asked.
Qi Yuan responded: "This is Qi's personal information. It is not convenient to disclose it to outsiders. Please forgive me."
"I understand this, and I was rude. As for finding the location of the ancient ice phoenix, Xiaoji Palace is still willing to help Fellow Daoist Qi." Bai Yaoyi's beautiful face showed a hint of apology, and she agreed generously.
Qi Yuan smiled and said, "Then I'll have to trouble Brother Bai to help. I can provide funding to offset the manpower consumption. Just go ahead and collect traces."
"My friend, you are being too polite. It's just a small matter, why should you spend money on it?" Bai Mengxin took the opportunity to refuse and took the initiative.
Bai Yaoyi had a gentle smile on her pretty face, but she didn't say a word to her second sister.
"Okay, if Qi keeps trying to hold back, it will seem like he is being coy. This time I owe Xiaoji Palace a favor. If you have any problems in the future, you can come to me."
Qi Yuan showed a generous attitude and did not insist on distancing himself from Xiaoji Palace.
If you make clear distinctions between trivial matters, the relationship will become rigid and will not be conducive to moving forward.
Sure enough, Bai Mengxin immediately responded with a friendly smile, and her cold tone changed a little: "It is our honor to be able to help you in Xiaoji Palace. Can you spare some time and let me take you to meet the Nascent Soul cultivators in the palace so that we can have a chat?"
"As long as it doesn't delay things, it's up to you." Qi Yuan gave Bai Mengxin face without hesitation.
Everyone has selfish desires, it's nothing strange.
Bai Yaoyi saw that her second sister was chatting so happily, but she felt a little melancholy in her heart. She didn't care much about the credit.
I just feel uncomfortable because Qi Yuan is too close to my second sister.
If we really talk about the depth of friendship with the Nascent Soul cultivators in the palace, she cannot compare to her second sister Bai Mengxin.
"Fellow Daoist Bai, have you taken the infant-cultivating pill?"
Suddenly, Bai Yaoyi heard Qi Yuan's words, and her eyes suddenly cleared up. She smiled and said, "I was just planning to retreat and refine the pills when Fellow Daoist Qi came to visit me. Did you hear the news about the infant-cultivating pill from Fellow Daoist Han?"
Han Li was Qi Yuan's junior fellow apprentice, and she knew about the matter, so she inferred that Han Li was the source. After all, Qi Yuan was not present when Yin Zhima was captured.
"No, Fellow Daoist Fu was being hunted by a mysterious man, and he offered me a baby-nourishing pill to help him, so I learned a little bit of information. But this is the first time I've heard of this pill, and I don't understand the details of taking it, so I haven't rashly refined it yet." Qi Yuan had just agreed to Bai Mengxin, but turned around and ignored her, glancing sideways at Bai Yaoyi as he talked to her.
Fortunately, the time came early and Bai Yaoyi did not refine the infant-cultivating pill, which gave him a legitimate excuse to deepen their relationship with her.
It would take at least several years to completely refine this pill.
"So that's how it is. Fellow Daoist Fu is really blessed to have survived and not ruin his path to becoming an immortal. This is also the first time I've taken the Peiying Pill, so I don't dare to teach Fellow Daoist Qi. However, the relevant details are recorded in the palace. Can we communicate with each other when the time comes?" When Bai Yaoyi heard this, Hua Rong was stunned for a moment, then instantly showed a hint of joy.
Sweep away the melancholy feeling just now.
On the other side, when Bai Mengxin saw Seventh Sister's joyful smile, she immediately returned to her cold state and no longer smiled happily.
If a man and a woman were to discuss refining elixirs alone, wouldn't that give Seventh Sister a great advantage?
God knows where they will end up if they continue to refine...
Thinking about it this way, Bai Mengxin naturally became unhappy.
To say that she fell in love with Qi Yuan was not that outrageous, but the man's appearance and realm were indeed beyond the standards of a female Nascent Soul cultivator.
Bai Mengxin did not deny some of her inner thoughts.
I think Qi Yuan is a rare choice as a Taoist partner.
In addition, he is kind to others and does not put on airs, which means he can handle things well.
Of course, these are just surface phenomena, and we can only draw a conclusion about a person’s specific character after in-depth contact.
Qi Yuan secretly observed the expressions of the two women, and realized that their joy and depression were affected by him, and then he sipped his tea without any expression.
He knew in his heart that the reason he was able to influence the Bai sisters' emotions was because of the strength he displayed.
Also, the good impression that everyone creates on each other when they first meet will produce an immediate effect.
If we had replaced him with an annoying cultivator, or one with a lower level of cultivation, there would probably have been no results.
There is no need to think about the Foundation Establishment and Core Formation cultivators. If anyone dares to control their emotions, as soon as they come to their senses, he will just slap them away with a backhand.
The Bai sisters have cultivated to the Nascent Soul stage and have remained single, which shows that their standards are definitely not low.
Qi Yuan pushed and pulled the Bai sisters a little, then stopped and turned to a normal chat, focusing on treating everyone equally.
If you try to use your skills as soon as you meet someone, you may go too far and ruin their good impression.
Leave an impression today and wait for the opportunity to act later.
Let the fluctuating emotions ferment slowly before advancing the relationship between the two parties.
After the conversation, under the arrangement of the Bai sisters, Qi Yuan moved into an ice-sculpture palace full of spiritual energy for him to practice temporarily.
The three Guiling demons were arranged to practice near him.
Not far away.
Taking advantage of the rare opportunity, Qi Yuan sat cross-legged on the cushion, took out the Taixuan Jade Sutra and studied it carefully, reading the cultivation content carefully.
Now that I have obtained the Tai Chi diagram, it is time to put the study of Taoist methods on the agenda.
The quality of the Taoist techniques is not low, and the Taoist weapons are also good. Once he practices them to a certain level, he will have an extra means to defeat the enemy.
"Xuan Yunzi is right. I only need to comprehend this Dao technique for half a day every day to get extraordinary feedback. I don't need to comprehend the Dao method day and night, which would affect my main practice of the Reversed Five Elements Technique."
After Qi Yuan thoroughly understood the Taixuan Jade Secret, he sighed with joy on his face.
He had some idea of the difficulty of practicing Taoist methods. It was by no means as simple as the Taixuan Yu Jue, where one could reap fruitful results by just meditating for half a day.
However, every advantage has its disadvantages. Taixuan Yujue progresses quickly and its Taoism is pure, so the corresponding foundation will become superficial.
This shortcoming is not fatal when one's cultivation is shallow. On the contrary, it is helpful in fighting. However, as one's cultivation deepens, the problem will be infinitely magnified and eventually become a gap that cannot be ignored.
Whether it is a tree, a mountain, a building, or a person, the lower body is often an extremely important link. Only a solid foundation can withstand the baptism of wind and rain and welcome tomorrow's sunrise.
Otherwise, it’s easy not to see the next day’s sky.
Qi Yuan felt it was okay, because he did not take Taixuan Yujue as his main practice method, so he did not need to worry about this problem.
Then he closed his eyes, made a strange Taoist seal with his hands, and practiced the Taixuan Jade Technique step by step. His breathing suddenly became long and short, and became rhythmic.
The spiritual energy of heaven and earth flowed into his body in an orderly manner, integrating into his limbs and bones. A mysterious Taoist rhyme lingered around his body, but it seemed very faint.
A shadow of a Tai Chi diagram in ink painting style slowly emerged under the cushion. Upon closer inspection, it was discovered that its rotation followed the rhythm of Qi Yuan's breathing.
"Another foodie who took away half of the fruits of cultivation." Qi Yuan muttered in his heart and ignored the actions of the Taoist Tai Chi diagram.
Suddenly, the mutated Taoist seed in his body, the black and white Tai Chi diagram on the door began to rotate, and the plaque with the words "Harmony between Heaven and Man" written on it emitted a strange light, refracted a ray of Taoist rhyme, and drilled into the crack of the door.
Click!
The portal of the Tao Seed actually opened by itself, and purple thunder shuttled out, following the rhythm of the Taixuan Jade Art, and silently transformed into his own Taoism.
In an instant, the results that were taken away from the Tai Chi diagram were made up, and the normal speed of comprehension was restored.
Seeing this, Qi Yuan couldn't help but smile faintly. He didn't expect that the purple thunder contained in the Dao Seed could be refined into Dao magic, thereby improving his own Dao practice.
You must know that the purple thunder behind his Tao seed seems endless and there is no way to explore its end.
Now that he can refine it after comprehending the Dao, doesn't that mean he has an extra great opportunity that can be supplied continuously to help him comprehend the Dao?
"Hey, the speed of comprehension has increased again."
As he gradually practiced the Taixuan Jade Art, Qi Yuan discovered that the speed of his movements was inexplicably accelerated, causing the purple thunder to quickly melt into his body, and his Dao rhyme was significantly enhanced.
In addition, Qi Yuan did not indulge in joy. Instead, he used his spiritual consciousness to check the condition of his body to prevent any problems from ruining his cultivation.
"This...this foundation is actually not frivolous?"
Qi Yuan suddenly interrupted his meditation and opened his eyes in shock. (End of this chapter)
