Chapter 1: A Small Sect with Only Three and a Half Disciples (Part I)

In the center of the Xiaoyu Continent, a place with beautiful scenery, there are stretches of mountains and lush forests, in this fairyland-like place, for thousands of years, there have been countless stories and legends of gods and ghosts.

It's a pity that this seemingly empty and picturesque place has an extremely cheesy name - Huanghualing

Huanghualing sounds very cheesy, but it can't hide its "name if there are immortals". In the vast low-lying place between the mountains and plains of Huanghualing, the thick and wind-blown white fog blocks the way for ordinary people to go up the mountain to seek immortals, making people not know the story and truth behind the white fog. But this mysterious fog cuts the road under the feet of ordinary people, but it cuts the road in their hearts, so the stories about mountains, water, immortals, and demons have been passed down one after another, generation after generation

The more it spreads, the more it spreads, the more magical it becomes

The stories in the mouths of ordinary people are mostly entrusted with their beautiful wishes, and most of them are made up at random, but what the villagers near Huanghualing do not know is that on this Huanghualing, there is indeed a real Xiuzhen sect, and the name of this Xiuzhen sect is diametrically opposed to the cheesy name of Huanghualing, which is not only mysterious, but also incomprehensible

There is no way to verify how the name of the Yin Hua Ming came to be, even if Xiao Yuehong, the thirty-sixth generation head of the Yan Hua Ming, once looked through all the classics in the door out of boredom and did not find a single piece of paper, as for why Xiao Yuehong is so boring, look at Xiao Yuehong at this time, maybe you can know what the reason is

At this time, it was afternoon, the sun had already deviated to the southwest, and Xiao Yuehong was on a high ridge in the Huanghualing Mountains, he ...... It's not that he's practicing any exercises, but squinting his eyes, his whole body is lying on his back on top of a flat boat-shaped magic weapon, and the boat's magic weapon is suspended in the air above the high ridge, gradually changing the angle and position with the remoteness of the sun, so that Xiao Yuehong's entire body can be completely exposed to the warm sun......

Since the head of a Xiuzhen sect can be so leisurely, it must be not surprising that he rummaged through the cabinets to find the origin of his sect's name

Xiao Yuehong, who was basking in the sun, suddenly opened his eyes, tilted his head slightly, glanced at the mountain peak to the west, smashed his mouth, looked very helpless, and muttered: "Alas, this kid ...... Use mana, you...... Although you are very stupid, after all, you are also a monk at the first level of Qi refining, you can use mana if you can, why use it...... Strength?"

As he muttered, there was a loud "rumbling" sound from the western peak, which seemed to be the sound of boulders crashing

"Fortunately, Huanghualing has my great array of mountain protection...... Otherwise, if you toss like this every day, who doesn't know that there are people on the mountain? Alas, isn't it...... Is it ......worth opening a medicine field? It's ??? make such a big commotion."

Xiao Yuehong turned over, letting the sunlight shine on him more fully, and was about to close his eyes, when suddenly there was a flash of light, his eyes looked east, and he said strangely: "It's weird...... Why didn't the three of them come back before night?"

The "this child" in Xiao Yuehong's mouth is a boy who combines herbs, alchemy, and all chores in the sect, this boy is eighteen years old, and his name is Xiao Hua.

Xiao Hua was picked up by Xiao Yuehong outside Huanghualing three years ago, when he was unconscious, it seemed that his life was on the verge of death, but Xiao Yuehong checked for a long time, and he couldn't find where he was injured...... Rusi, and Xiao Yuehong didn't know if he was suffering from any serious illness. I couldn't like it, so I had to take him to Huanghualing. The strange thing is that Xiao Yuehong did everything, and after a day and a night, Xiao Hua woke up automatically, but after waking up, Xiao Hua forgot everything he should know about who he was, where he came from, where he was going....... etc

Xiao Yuehong originally wanted to send Xiao Hua down the mountain, but seeing that Xiao Hua was very strong and knew some farm work, and Yan Hua Ming still lacked a disciple who did miscellaneous labor, so he was left behind, because Xiao Hua didn't know his name, so Xiao Yuehong named him Xiao Hua.

Xiao Hua has been in Yinhua for three years, at first Xiao Yuehong was still wary, and secretly paid attention, afraid that it was a fine work sent by other sects, but after observing for half a year, there were no clues at all, and Xiao Yuehong was lazy, so he stopped tracking.

Half a year later, Xiao Yuehong began to let Xiao Hua take over the affairs of the medicine garden and the alchemy room while doing miscellaneous labor, these things all require mana, so Xiao Yuehong began to consider accepting Xiao Hua as his disciple again...... Xiao Hua's qualifications...... Xiao Yuehong didn't know if it was bad or ...... Excellence......

At that time, Xiao Yuehong was very surprised, thinking that he had picked up a treasure in vain, and almost went to the ancestral hall of the ancestors of the past dynasties to worship and thank the ancestors for their nine heavens.

It's just that there is a rule in the cultivation realm of Xiaoyu Continent, the third layer of qi refining is the boundary ridge, and the third layer of qi refining was a trainee disciple of the sect before, and only after passing the third layer of qi refining can he really be included in the sect, and he is counted as a formal disciple of the sect Therefore, Xiao Yuehong suppressed the ecstasy in his heart, increased the intensity of cultivation, and wanted to upgrade Xiao Hua's cultivation to the third layer of qi refining as soon as possible, take him to the ancestral hall to worship, and officially include him in the Yin Hua Ming.

But...... Later, the development of things was out of Xiao Yuehong's expectations, Xiao Hua ...... 's cultivation has always stayed at the first layer of qi refining, no matter what elixir he takes, no matter what secret method Xiao Yuehong uses, Xiao Hua's mana is constantly increasing, but ...... The realm of the meditation method...... Just don't lift

Xiao Yuehong worked hard for another year, and spent almost as much energy and pills on Xiao Hua as other disciples, and he didn't see any effect, so he ...... Had to stop.

After all, the same amount of energy was enough for the other disciples to ...... Well, that is, the "three of them" in Xiao Yuehong's mouth, advanced to the tenth level of qi refining

Therefore, Xiao Hua has been ...... for three years It can only be regarded as a ...... Half a disciple

If this "half of a disciple" is a side sect, I'm afraid that he would have been reduced to a miscellaneous servant a long time ago, or he would have directly abolished his cultivation and driven out of the sect? It's just that Xiao Hua was picked up by Xiao Yuehong himself, although he was older, his name was also given by Xiao Yuehong, Xiao Hua was even more from a professor who knew nothing to the first level of qi refining, and for no reason in his heart was to get a little closer, Xiao Yuehong was not willing to exile Xiao Hua, although he did not have the treatment of a formal disciple, but he usually did not treat him half a point

Well, not to mention, Xiao Hua is very diligent, the medicine garden and the Danfang, as well as the chores in the door, are all done by one person, more than ten people

And the three disciples in Xiao Yuehong's mouth are the eldest disciple Gong Mingwei, the second disciple Zhang Qingxiao and Xiao Yuehong's daughter Xiao Xianrui, today is the day of the Yi market of the various Xiuzhen sects in Xiguo, Xiao Yuehong was too lazy to go by himself, so he sent his three disciples to carry the unique spirit grass of Huanghualing, as well as Yinhuaming's own elixir, and went to trade with other sects in exchange for the elixir, spirit stones and other items used by cultivators in cultivation

Gong Mingwei and the others rarely go down the mountain, Yi Shi is a rare opportunity, and it is a good opportunity to meet other cultivators, in the past, they went out, it was not until dark, at this time, they returned so early, no wonder Xiao Yuehong would be strange

Far outside the Huanghualing, outside the white fog that does not disperse all year round, the three rays of light are crooked and slanted to the ground, the figures of two men and one woman flashed out, on the left are two men, one tall and one short, both about twenty-seven or eighteen, supporting each other, the tall man is wearing a navy blue robe, his face is fair, his face is also slender, his starry eyes and thick eyebrows, he looks extremely energetic, but at this time, his two eye circles are black, and there is an oblique scar on the left cheek of his face, and the corners of his mouth are also broken, this person is Gong Mingwei, the eldest disciple of Yan Huaming.

The man who was a little shorter, with a chubby face, a slightly fat body, small eyes on his face, faint eyebrows, and a few small moles scattered on the right cheek, needless to say, this person was Zhang Qingxiao, the second disciple of Yan Huaming. At this time, he was even more embarrassed than Gong Mingwei, who was supporting him next to him.

I saw that Zhang Qingxiao's hair bun had been shaved off, his hair was scattered, and his face was covered in a mess, his lips were swollen and high, there were some dried blood stains in his nose, and there were blood stains on his arms and legs......

Look at the woman on the right, it is Xiao Yuehong's pearl Xiao Xianrui, I saw that she was also about twenty-five or sixteen years old, with apricot eyes and willow eyebrows, a tall nose, quite beautiful, dressed in lake blue clothes, although there was some dust on her body, there was no blood and scars. It's just that at this time, Xiao Xianrui's face was pale, her eyes were a little angry and unyielding, and her teeth were biting her lips tightly, and she seemed to be in a mood that had not calmed down...... Seeing that the short and fat Zhang Qingxiao was unstable on his feet, the woman also hurriedly held on and said in a low voice: "Second senior brother, you ...... Are you alright?"

When Zhang Qingxiao heard this, his face was sweet, and he smiled: "It's okay, it's okay, it's just a skin injury."

Gong Mingwei next to him heard this, snorted coldly, the smile on Zhang Qingxiao's face disappeared immediately, revealing a pitiful look, and Gong Mingwei said: "It's okay, there was a lot of blood along the way, if you hadn't taken the 'Wuqi Dan' to exchange it for useless things, your external injuries would have been cured long ago."
