Palm fairy garden

Chapter 84
Pushing open the gate of the dormitory courtyard, Su Ming was going to go to Gong Xiaocai to satisfy his hunger.

Unexpectedly, I met another neighbor.

"This fellow Taoist, be polite."

Su Ming saw the monk from Xingluo Island who was standing outside the courtyard of his dormitory last time and wanted to buy him a drink, he smiled and cupped his hands towards him.

Hearing Su Ming's greeting, this Xingluo Island cultivator at the sixth level of qi training stopped in his footsteps, with a somewhat reserved expression on his face.

"It turned out to be Su, fellow Daoist Su,"

In desperation, he had no choice but to bow his hands to Su Ming, "I don't know why Fellow Daoist Su is looking for you?"

Su Ming smiled and said: "I'm here Su Ming, I haven't asked the name of my fellow Taoist for so long."

Seeing that he couldn't hide, the sixth-level qi training monk smiled awkwardly and said, "My next Luo Xiao."

Immediately afterwards, he added another sentence, "filial piety."

"It turned out to be Fellow Daoist Luo,"

Su Ming smiled and said, "Fellow Daoist Luo said last time that he wanted to invite Su to have a drink. I wonder if you are free now?"

Luo Xiao sighed, and said with a wry smile: "Fellow Daoist Su, please speak up if you have something to say."

"That's right, Su hasn't been to the charm class for more than a month. I know that Fellow Daoist Luo will use the photo stone to record Qin's class every time, so."

Hearing this, Luo Xiao immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

It turned out to be a photo stone, hesitating for a moment, Luo Xiao patted the storage bag, took out a photo stone and handed it to Su Ming.

"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Luo, but you won't get rewarded for nothing,"

With that said, Su Ming took out three spirit stones from the storage bag and handed them over, "I will return the photo stones to you as soon as possible."

Luo Xiao glanced at the spirit stone that Su Ming handed over, shook his head and said, "It's just a shadow stone, it's not worth mentioning, Fellow Daoist Su has ruined my little brother."

Having said all this, it would seem a little hypocritical for Su Ming to stuff other people's spirit stones.

He cupped his hands towards Luo Xiaogong and said: "What happened last time, I did not do it well, I hope Fellow Daoist Luo don't mind."

Seeing that Su Ming took the initiative to mention the misunderstanding last time, Luo Xiao's complexion immediately improved a lot.

In the past three months, he has basically been practicing by taking the elixir.

It is also thanks to Su Ming that since last month, he no longer used the Spirit Gathering Formation to extract spiritual energy so frantically, otherwise Luo Xiao would have to go to the Reporting Institute to change dormitories.

Seeing Su Ming take the initiative to apologize, Luo Xiao's dissatisfaction with Su Ming disappeared.

After all, Lanzhou monks are used to living a peaceful life, and most of them have a gentle temper, unlike Lizhou monks, who draw their swords at each other when they disagree.

"Last time, I was rude first, and I hope Fellow Daoist Su don't blame me."

With Su Ming being so polite, Luo Xiao naturally wouldn't hold on to the grievances from last time. We are all monks who went to Yaoyuan Dao Academy to study in Xingluo Island.

Maybe the two of them could join the Xianxia Sect in the future and become fellow disciples.

It's not good to make the relationship deadlocked now.

"Where, Fellow Daoist Luo is too polite,"

Su Ming said with a smile, "We don't know each other here. When I still have the shadow stone, I will invite Fellow Daoist Luo to have a drink at the Drunken Immortal Tower."

"Okay, it's a deal."

Luo Xiao nodded with a smile.

Saying goodbye to Luo Xiao, Su Ming walked straight towards Gong Xiaocai's courtyard.

The courtyard of the dormitory where Gong Xiaocai lives is No. 17 B, right next door to him.

Su Ming quickly walked to the courtyard door of Gong Xiaocai's dormitory.

"Open the door, it's me."

Su Ming's voice rang directly beside Gong Xiaocai's ears.

After a while, the courtyard gate opened with a "squeak", and a beautiful figure rushed straight into Su Ming's arms from the gate.

It was Gong Xiaocai.

Seeing Gong Xiaocai who had grown taller, Su Ming couldn't help but pat her head.

Gong Xiaocai opened Su Ming's hand, and said with some dissatisfaction, "I'm not a child, don't touch my head all the time."

Su Ming smiled and said nothing.

Walked straight into Gong Xiaocai's courtyard, but could smell burnt smell coming from the courtyard.

"What does it smell like?"

Su Ming frowned.

"Ah, I made the alchemy!"

Gong Xiaocai let out a cry of surprise, and immediately ran towards her specially opened alchemy room.

After a stick of incense.

Gong Xiaocai packed up the alchemy stove full of elixir residues, and made a cup of fragrant tea for Su Ming.

Su Ming sipped tea and said, "How is your alchemy learning?"

heard.

Gong Xiaocai's tender body froze immediately, and she concealed her tone, "It's okay."

"Don't put too much pressure on it. If alchemy is so easy to learn, would the Xianxia sect be so eager for alchemists?"

Hearing Su Ming's comfort, Gong Xiaocai finally boosted her confidence.

"Actually, Teacher Wu said that I have a good talent for alchemy."

"Right, so you have to be more confident. I will still practice by referring to the panacea you refined in the future."

Hearing this, Gong Xiaocai's pretty face suddenly became serious, "I can definitely do it!"

Seeing Gong Xiaocai being so serious for the first time, Su Ming shook his head and said with a smile: "Okay, I believe you can do it! But I've been in seclusion for more than a month, and I'm almost hungry for your delicacies."

Hear this.

Gong Xiaocai's face brightened, and she quickly stood up: "I'll do it for you."

Looking at Gong Xiaocai's hurried back, the smile on Su Ming's face gradually disappeared.

Maybe she didn't notice Gong Xiaocai's hesitant appearance just now, but she couldn't hide from Su Ming's piercing eyes.

Gong Xiaocai is hiding something from him.

"It's grown up after all."

Su Ming looked at Gong Xiaocai's busy figure in the kitchen, feeling relieved that there is a young girl in my family who has grown up.

Two days later.

Gong Xiaocai went to the alchemy hall of the college as usual.

But she didn't know that a small paper bird hovered above her head and flew towards the alchemy hall together with her.

Gong Xiaocai entered the hall.

The paper bird puppet flew to a branch not far from the window of the main hall and stopped.

From here, you can have a good view of the alchemy hall.

Through the paper bird puppet, Su Ming clearly felt that Gong Xiaocai's whole body was stiff after entering the alchemy hall.

This is the instinctive rejection that occurs when people are faced with an environment they do not want to face.

What is Gong Xiaocai repelling and afraid of?
Su Ming manipulated the paper bird puppet to stand outside the window and observe carefully.

Soon.

The professor in charge of teaching Gong Xiaocai walked in.

This is a young monk, he is wearing a white priest robe, looks gentle and elegant.

But when Su Ming saw the other person's face, his expression suddenly changed.

How is he?

The teacher responsible for teaching Gong Xiaocai to make alchemy is none other than Zhang Jingchen, the second son of the Zhang family.

Su Ming finally understood why when he went to see Gong Xiaocai the day before yesterday, she always had a hesitant expression on her face.

Gong Xiaocai must have been targeted by Zhang Jingchen.

Take ten thousand steps back, even if you don't get targeted, how can you let go of the resentment in your heart when you face Zhang Jingchen, the second son of the enemy who killed Gong Lao, all day long.

Even so, for such a long time, when Gong Xiaocai saw him, she never complained to him, and she chose to carry it all by herself.

Speaking of which, although Gong Xiaocai has a carefree temper, she also has the tenacity to not admit defeat in her heart.

"Zhang Jingchen, why did I forget you."

Su Ming said secretly.

Just when he was in a trance, Qin Zhen's voice transmission sounded in Su Ming's mind in the hall where he was having a charm class.

"Su Ming, listen carefully to the class."

Seeing himself being distracted and being caught by Qin Zhen on the spot, Su Ming immediately came back to his senses and gave Qin Zhen an apologetic smile.

End the day with spell lessons.

Su Ming was about to stand up and leave, but was stopped by Qin Zhen.

After the disciples in the main hall left one by one, Qin Zhen looked at Su Ming and asked with some dissatisfaction, "Why didn't you come to class for more than a month?"

Who knew Qin Zhen's words immediately flattered Su Ming.

In his eyes, Qin Zhen's teaching method is completely laissez-faire.

Whether the Taoist disciples learn or not doesn't seem to have anything to do with him as the teacher. The other party seems to be here only to complete the mission of the sect.

Although he was puzzled, Su Ming respectfully replied to Qin Jiaoxi's concern, "I have recently created a technique of my own, so I have been in seclusion for a while."

Hearing this, Qin Zhen nodded.

Basically the same as he guessed.

Seeing Qin Zhen's appearance, Su Ming couldn't help being curious anymore, and said, "Qin Jiaoxi, why do you care so much about your disciples' learning? But you don't care about other disciples."

"Is it strange?"

Qin Zhen asked rhetorically, "Among your group of disciples, there are at most three who can pass the final assessment and enter the Xianxia Sect.

And you are one of them. "

Three out of hundreds of people are sure to enter the Xianxia Sect, this ratio is not low.

Of course, it is only possible to get in, and it is also possible that none of them can get in in the end.

Su Ming immediately understood what Qin Jiaoxi meant, and he didn't even bother to teach those other monks who couldn't join the Xianxia Sect.

Whether the other party learns or not has nothing to do with him, but Su Ming is different. In the eyes of Qin Jiaoxi, Su Ming is one of the three disciples who have the opportunity to enter the Xianxia Sect.

It can be said that the hope of his mission assessment rested on Su Ming and the other three.

Don't think that there are no indicators for the Xianxia Sect to send outer disciples to teach in various academies.

In fact, Qin Zhen didn't want to get the Zongmen's contribution not by how long he taught, but by how many Taoist disciples he could finally send to Xianxia Sect.

After understanding this level, Su Ming suddenly understood why Qin Zhen's attitude towards him was different from that towards other disciples.

He thought it was the effect of him sending out a hundred spirit stones before.

One hundred spirit stones is a lot of money for a casual cultivator in the qi training period from a poor background, but for a foundation-building monk of the Xianxia sect like Qin Zhen, it is just a little extra money that is dispensable.

He wasn't going to give Su Ming admiration just because of this hundred spirit stones.

"Su Ming, although your spiritual root is ordinary, you are very talented in spells. You must also know that the criteria for recruiting disciples of my Xianxia Sect are based on heart, understanding, and spiritual root, and understanding is based on spirituality. in front of the root,"

Qin Zhen looked at Su Ming, "Spirituality can be honed, but savvy is something a person is born with, and it's hard to sharpen it the day after tomorrow. Don't waste your great talent."

Hearing these words from the bottom of his heart, Su Ming immediately had a little respect for this Qin Jiaoxi who didn't care about everything.

He immediately cupped his hands towards Professor Qin and said, "Thank you, Professor Qin, for your teaching. From now on, my disciples will come to attend classes on time."

"Ah."

Hearing this, Qin Zhen nodded in satisfaction.

"By the way, in another month, it will be the rest period of the Taoist Academy. As far as I know, you are not from Lanzhou, are you?"

Su Ming nodded: "The disciple is from Lizhou."

Hearing this, Qin Zhen sighed and said: "The disaster in Lizhou is raging, and you probably won't be able to go back. If you are free, you can come to my cave to find me during this time, and I will teach you alone."

Hearing this, Su Ming was really moved this time.

Even though he knew that Qin Zhen was for the sect's assessment mission, it couldn't be said that he didn't have the slightest vision to be a teacher.

Otherwise, with so many sect missions of the Xianxia Sect, Qin Zhen would not have to choose the mission of teaching in the Taoist Academy.

He bowed his hands solemnly to Qin Zhen and said, "Thank you, Teacher Qin."

"Go."

Qin Zhen waved his hand.

After bidding farewell to Qin Zhen, Su Ming quickly returned to the courtyard of the dormitory.

Walking to the gate of the dormitory courtyard, Su Ming stretched out his hand, and a small paper bird puppet flew into his palm.

It was the paper bird puppet he sent to monitor Zhang Jingchen in the morning.

Su Ming didn't expect that Zhang Jingchen was not only almost appointed as an outsider disciple of Xianxia Sect, but also in the alchemy hall, replacing their Wu Jiaoxi as a teaching assistant.

Compared with Qin Zhen, Wu Jiaoxi, who teaches alchemy, is obviously much more irresponsible.

Not only did the class start a month later than other teachings, but also often let the disciples who came to learn alchemy doves, and only Zhang Jingchen was found as an assistant to teach them alchemy.

At this moment, Su Ming couldn't help feeling a killing intent towards Zhang Jingchen.

He knew how Zhang Jingchen treated Gong Xiaocai during the day, because of what the Zhang family did in Qingshuifang City, Shangyang County, Zhang Jingchen was particularly worried about the Zhang family's collusion with the demon cultivator.

For this reason, last time he even did not hesitate to send family servants to get rid of Gong Xiaocai on Xing Luo Island.

Even though it was in Yaoyuan Taoist Academy, Zhang Jingchen would never dare to attack Gong Xiaocai openly, but as the teaching assistant who taught Gong Xiaocai, he had plenty of ways to prevent Gong Xiaocai from joining the Xianxia School.

Facing an enemy like Zhang Jingchen, Gong Xiaocai was able to hold back the hatred in her heart and learn alchemy, which already made Su Ming look at this thirteen-year-old girl with admiration.

"It seems that we still have to get rid of you as soon as possible."

Su Ming shook his head.

It is definitely not possible to do it directly at Yaoyuan Taoist Academy or even Tianshu Island.

The sky surveying treasure mirror in the sky is not there to pretend.

Zhang Jingchen didn't dare to take action against Gong Xiaocai, and it was precisely because of this treasure trove.

Immediately, Su Ming thought of Qin Zhen's words again.

There is still one month to the college break!
Su Ming's eyes lit up slightly.

Unlike Su Ming and Gong Xiaocai, two casual cultivators, there is a Foundation Establishment family standing behind Zhang Jingchen.

As soon as the rest period of Yaoyuan Daoyuan comes, Zhang Jingchen will definitely return to the Zhang family. By then, it will be Zhang Jingchen's death.

Although the Zhang family abandoned ordinary people, the whole family fled to Lanzhou.

But as long as the Zhang family's elite monks are there, a complete cultivating family can be established in Lanzhou in a few decades.

In particular, Zhang Jingchen had reserved the number of disciples of the Xianxia Sect.

With the banner of the disciples of the Xianxia Sect, the Zhang family will have more confidence in doing things in Lanzhou in the future.

This is also the reason why the Zhang family reluctantly sent the second-level alchemist that they had cultivated through untold hardships to the Xianxia sect.

If it weren't for this, no immortal cultivating family would be willing to send the alchemists they cultivated at great cost to the sect, even if this sect is the master of Lanzhou.

"Forget it, although some people use a sledgehammer to kill chickens, let's test the power of my sword fairy puppet with you."
