Chapter 787 The wait is finally here

When Tian Buyi and his wife returned to Dazhu Peak, they found it funny to see Su Mingzhe looking forward to it.

However, the two did not let the young disciple wait too anxiously, and smiled and said:

"You should be happy now, your uncle Shuiyue said that the girl agreed to be your Taoist partner!"

"Thank you, Master, and thank you, Master's Wife!"

Su Mingzhe was really overjoyed at this good news.

It's no wonder that he is so unconfident. He had used the Red Thread of Acacia skill last year, but there was no response from Lu Xueqi.

This time Tian Buyi went to propose marriage on his behalf, and Su Mingzhe thought Lu Xueqi would refuse.

Unexpectedly, although Lu Xueqi was not attracted to Su Mingzhe, she agreed to let them become Taoist couple.

After getting this result, Su Mingzhe couldn't wait to take the refined soul-catching rod to Xiaozhu Peak to propose marriage.

Ever since he knew that this was the dimension of the movie "Zhu Xian", Su Mingzhe had been thinking about marrying Lu Xueqi home.

Now that I have finally gotten what I wanted, the excitement in my heart is naturally hard to suppress.

Fortunately, Tian Buyi and his wife stopped him.

Tian Buyi looked at his disciple's useless appearance and was too lazy to pay attention to him. He waved his hand and signaled his wife to explain the situation to the young disciple.

Su Ru was quite happy with Su Mingzhe's reaction, which also showed that Su Mingzhe really liked Lu Xueqi:
"Xiao Qi, although Xue Qi has agreed to marry you, Senior Sister Shui Yue said that your wedding should be held after the Seven Sects Martial Competition!"

"Seven Veins Martial Competition?"

Su Mingzhe was stunned, counted on his fingers, and immediately smiled bitterly:
"That's still six or seven years away!"

Tian Buyi heard this and snorted at first, then laughed and said:
"Xiao Qi, we cultivators live forever, with a minimum lifespan of several hundred years. With your extraordinary talent, you may even be able to live for a thousand years. How can you not wait for only six or seven years?"

"What does this have to do with life span?"

Su Ru glared at her man unhappily, and it was obvious that she disagreed with what her man said.

However, turning around, Su Ru smiled and explained to Su Mingzhe why Senior Sister Shuiyue had delayed for a few years.

After hearing this, Su Mingzhe felt a little helpless but had no choice but to accept it.

It was only about six or seven years.

He can afford to wait.

Compared to Su Mingzhe's impatience for the wedding, when Lu Xueqi learned from her master that Su Mingzhe wanted to become her Taoist partner, she chose to accept it very calmly.

In the eyes of outsiders, Lu Xueqi seems like a cold and aloof ice goddess.

In fact, Lu Xueqi is just a person of cold temperament, quiet and few desires.

As for why Lu Xueqi agreed to become a Taoist couple with Su Mingzhe, it was because she had a simple nature.

She has always adhered to the philosophy of "I will treat others the way I am treated."

Before this, Su Mingzhe had given Lu Xueqi guidance on cultivation many times.

With the help of Su Mingzhe, Lu Xueqi's cultivation level skyrocketed.

The internal injuries caused by excessive training were also cured by Su Mingzhe.

Lu Xueqi was grateful to Su Mingzhe and wanted to repay him.

After the Ghost King Sect incident, Shuiyue asked Lu Xueqi what she thought of Su Mingzhe, and indirectly asked her if she was willing to become a Taoist partner with Su Mingzhe.

Lu Xueqi suddenly thought simply that if Su Mingzhe was willing, she would be willing, as if it were a way of repaying a favor.

In other words, Lu Xueqi has no love for Su Mingzhe, only gratitude.

Only Lu Xueqi herself knows this.

It was the next day in a blink of an eye.

Su Mingzhe couldn't bear the pain of missing Lu Xueqi, so he came to Xiaozhu Peak to look for her.

Although Lu Xueqi had not yet developed any love or affection for Su Mingzhe, she blushed as she followed Su Mingzhe out of the 'Bihan Palace', the training place for disciples of Xiaozhu Peak, amid the good-natured laughter of several senior sisters.

The two of them walked to a hillside and looked at the blooming mountain flowers in the distance. Lu Xueqi then plucked up the courage to ask:
"Brother, what do you want from me?"

"I've got a present for you!"

Su Mingzhe said, took out the 'Soul-stealing Rod' and handed it over.

The soul-stealing rod was originally a piece of black, rotten wood about three or four feet long.

Such a shape is naturally not suitable for the most beautiful woman in Qingyun Sect to use.

After refining the Soul-Snatching Rod, Su Mingzhe spent another day and night adding a lot of gold crystals and wood mother to the Soul-Snatching Rod and re-refined it.

Today's soul-catching rod is snow-white all over, shaped like a long ruler, and has strange and gorgeous patterns engraved on it.

When Lu Xueqi took the "Soul-stealing Rod" in her hand, she felt a chill in her palm.

This cool air actually circulated along the meridians in the body and returned to the "chi body".

At this point, Lu Xueqi found that she had an illusion that she and this "ruler" were connected by blood, and was immediately surprised:

"Brother, what kind of magic weapon is this? I haven't even refined it yet, so why do I feel like I can control so many of them?"

Su Mingzhe smiled gently:
"Junior sister, don't you practice [Divine Sword Controlling Thunder True Art] often? I have engraved a method to assist in practicing [Divine Sword Controlling Thunder True Art] on this magic weapon. Junior sister, when you use this magic weapon to practice [Divine Sword Controlling Thunder True Art] in the future, the time it takes to perform it can be reduced by half!"

"Thank you, senior brother!"

Lu Xueqi heard the preciousness of this magic weapon, and the look in her eyes when she looked at the man was once again filled with emotion.

Su Mingzhe saw his beloved looking at him like this, his mind was full of mixed thoughts, he could only make small talk and asked:
"Junior sister, how's your training going these days? Are you almost at the eighth level?"

"It's still a little short. Maybe I have to wait another month or two before I can make a breakthrough."

It is June now, and in another month or two, it will be July or August.

Lu Xueqi broke through to the seventh level of Jade Purity Realm in November last year.

In less than a year, he broke through from the seventh level to the eighth level. This speed was naturally very astonishing.

You know, when Su Mingzhe was in the late stage of Yuqing Realm, he also broke through one level every year.

Afterwards, Su Mingzhe gave Lu Xueqi some pointers on her cultivation.

An hour passed in the blink of an eye.

Seeing that it was getting late, Lu Xueqi was also afraid that if she was out for too long, she would be questioned by her master, so she said goodbye to the man.

Su Mingzhe quickly made an appointment for tomorrow.

Lu Xueqi responded shyly.

Many things have a second chance after they are achieved.

She followed the man out today, and after she returns, she will definitely attract all kinds of "concern" from her senior sisters.

But if you come out again tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow... after a long time and too many times, no one will pay attention to it anymore.

The same is true.

More than a month has passed in the blink of an eye.

Lu Xueqi, by Su Mingzhe's side, successfully broke through to the eighth level of Jade Purity Realm.

There are nine levels in the Jade Purity Realm. By the eighth level, according to the records of the sect’s ancestors, one’s cultivation foundation is already solid and one can learn the [Divine Sword Controlling Lightning Secret].

After Lu Xueqi broke through, she did not try to practice [Divine Sword Controlling Lightning True Art]. Instead, she looked at the man with a gentle gaze and asked:

"Brother, what realm are you in now?"

"The seventh level of Upper Purity Realm."

Su Mingzhe said, seeing Lu Xueqi's curious look, knowing that she didn't know much about the Upper Purity Realm, he smiled and explained: "The main training in the Jade Purity Realm is to refine essence into qi, refine qi into spirit, and refine spirit into emptiness. The main purpose of this stage is to 'transform from the ordinary'."

"When you reach the Shangqing realm, the three flowers will gather at the top of your head, the five qi will converge to the origin, and you will be able to refine the void and merge with the Tao. The main purpose of this stage is to 'become an immortal.'"

"There are nine levels in the Upper Purity Realm, namely: Refining the Spirit, Golden Elixir, Purple Mansion, Nascent Soul, Out-of-body Experience, Spirit Division, Spirit Transformation, Void Cave, and Integration with the Dao."

Lu Xueqi really didn’t know what the ninth level of Shangqing Realm was.

After hearing Su Mingzhe's clear explanation, he immediately became curious:

"Brother, I heard that you also broke through to the Upper Clarity Realm two years ago. Why did you break through so quickly in the Upper Clarity Realm? You broke through to the seventh level in two years?"

Su Mingzhe knew that Lu Xueqi was particularly eager to cultivate, so he did not hide it from her and said directly:

"The Jade Purity Realm and the Upper Purity Realm together mean 'transcendence from the mortal world to become an immortal'. When I was in the Jade Purity Realm, I completed 'transcendence from the mortal world' and laid a solid foundation. When I reached the Upper Purity Realm, I practiced wholeheartedly and naturally made rapid progress."

Su Mingzhe was afraid that Lu Xueqi would not understand, so he explained to her in detail the cultivation method of Shangqing Realm, and finally said with a smile:
"Junior sister, when you reach the Upper Clarity Realm, I will help you. You will definitely be able to complete the ninth level of the Upper Clarity Realm within five years."

Only Su Mingzhe would say this, and Lu Xueqi would believe it.

In the two thousand years of Qingyun Sect's history, there are nearly ten thousand disciples, but eight out of ten of them are wasting their time in Yuqing Realm.

The remaining disciples occasionally get the opportunity or have extraordinary talent to break through to the Shangqing realm, but they will suffer at this level for the rest of their lives.

According to the records within the sect, in the entire Qingyun Sect's two thousand years, among the nearly ten thousand disciples and followers, the number of ancestors who were able to eventually break through to the Taiqing Realm was less than two hands.

From this we can see how difficult it was to break through to the Taiqing Realm before this.

And now, Su Mingzhe told Lu Xueqi that he could help her break through the Shangqing Realm and reach the Taiqing Realm within five years.

Lu Xueqi actually smiled gently, and then chose to believe it.

An afternoon passed in the blink of an eye.

Su Mingzhe looked at Lu Xueqi's slender figure returning to the mountain, and then he murmured to himself:

"If Uncle Shuiyue is willing to let us become Taoist companions sooner, I can help you break through to the Taiqing realm within half a year!"

"Pity!"

In this peaceful time, a year passed in the blink of an eye.

Lu Xueqi's cultivation finally broke through to the ninth level of Jade Purity Realm. If she breaks through again, she will be able to reach the Upper Purity Realm.

On this day, the autumn wind was howling and frost was falling all over the sky.

Su Mingzhe was still meditating and practicing with everyone at Dazhu Peak when he suddenly heard seven bells ringing from Tongtian Peak.

Tian Buyi put down the bamboo slips in his hand and looked towards the direction of Tongtian Peak:

"It's just after the Double Ninth Festival, why did the head teacher call us to a meeting again?"

Although he was surprised, Tian Buyi still waved his hand, signaling his disciples to practice on their own. After saying goodbye to everyone, he flew directly to Tongtian Peak.

Meetings of the seven sect leaders also happen from time to time in Qingyun Sect.

It happens a few times every year.

After Tian Buyi left, everyone dispersed and practiced on their own.

On the other side, in Caomiao Village, the villagers also heard the melodious bell sounds.

In the courtyard where Su Mingzhe lived, two women who were playing chess heard the bell and raised their heads at the same time, their brows furrowed and their hearts filled with worry.

The oval-faced girl Biyao couldn't help but speak first:

"My husband, you said that the Qingyun Sect summoned the seven sect leaders without any festival. Could it be that they are taking action against the Demon Sect again?"

When the Ghost King Sect was destroyed last year, Hu Xiaochi asked Su Mingzhe to accept Bi Yao.

Not long after Bi Yao arrived in Cao Miao Village, she was taken into Su Mingzhe's room.

Since Bi Yao lived at the foot of Qingyun Sect's mountain, she naturally paid more attention to the activities of Qingyun Sect.

As for hatred, Biyao did not show it.

This is not to say that Biyao is cold-hearted by nature, or that her relationship with her father is dull.

It was because she was born in the Ghost King Sect and was accustomed to the cold-blooded incidents of fathers and sons killing each other, brothers killing each other, as well as the brutal and violent incidents of annihilating entire families and sects, and even massacring villages and towns.

In Biyao's eyes, survival of the fittest and the law of the jungle are the truth.

Su Mingzhe also knows Biyao's nature very well.

In the movie "Zhu Xian", when Bi Yao appears in the scene, she is chasing Zhang Xiaofan all the way.

So, not long after Su Mingzhe brought her back to Cao Miao Village, he made her and Jin Ping'er sisters.

Now, the two women are concubines of Su Mingzhe, and they get along very harmoniously.

At this moment, Bi Yao saw that the man did not answer her, and could not help but ask again:

"Husband, let's go to Qingyun Sect to see what happened, okay?"

"Don't go!"

Su Mingzhe directly rejected Biyao's proposal.

This girl said that she didn't care about the destruction of the Ghost King Sect, and there was no hatred revealed in her face or eyes.

However, Su Mingzhe was really afraid that this girl was just hiding her inner emotions, and was waiting for him to let down his guard so that she could cause some unmanageable trouble.

In order to nip the problem in the bud, Su Mingzhe did not help Bi Yao improve her cultivation like he helped Jin Ping'er.

On weekdays, she was also strictly restricted and forbidden to have any contact with Qingyun Sect.

When Biyao saw that the man refused, her rosy lips immediately pouted.

This bastard really thinks of himself as a greenhouse maid. He has been eating me up for more than a year and hasn't helped me at all.

Su Mingzhe completely ignored Bi Yao's thoughts.

Instead, Jin Ping'er sighed and said with a smile:

"Biyao, Qingyun Sect has summoned the seven sect leaders to welcome the Divine Monk Puzhi from Tianyin Temple!"

The Hehuan Sect is the most well-informed.

Although Jin Ping'er stayed in Cao Miao Village with Su Mingzhe every day, she was still able to receive news from the Hehuan Sect through Zhang Sangu.

The latest news is that someone saw the monk Puzhi from Tianyin Temple flying alone towards Qingyun Mountain.

"Is Puzhi here?"

When Su Mingzhe heard the news, a sharp light flashed across his eyes:
"Finally he's here..."

In the "Zhu Xian" plane, the most powerful martial art is the [Heavenly Book].

In the second year after Su Mingzhe came to this world, he found the first volume of the heavenly book in the bleeding cave where the black-hearted old man collected rare treasures.

In the third year since coming to this world, Su Mingzhe went to the Huanyue Cave of Qingyun Sect and found the second volume of the Heavenly Book hidden in the Zhuxian Sword.

Two years ago, when Su Mingzhe was traveling with Du Bishu and Tian Ling'er, they found the Heavenly Emperor's treasure house and obtained the third volume of the Heavenly Book guarded by the yellow bird.

Last year, the Ghost King Sect was wiped out by the three righteous sects. Su Mingzhe found the fourth volume of the Heavenly Book in the secret room of the Ghost King Sect.

【The Book of Heaven】is divided into five volumes.

Su Mingzhe has now found four volumes, and the last one is the one hidden in the wordless jade disk in Tianyin Temple.

And this last volume can only be obtained by Tianyin Temple's unique secret method [Great Brahma Prajna Sutra].

In order to obtain the [Great Brahma Prajna Sutra], Su Mingzhe has been waiting for Puzhi in Caomiao Village for seven years!
