Her slender white hands held a dusty wine gourd, drinking mouthful after mouthful. Only at this moment could she feel a little real, as if her body was closer to another world, although she didn't drink at that time.
"Hiccup!" Mo Qingchen accidentally let out a small hiccup.
She hastily covered her mouth and quickly stuffed the wine gourd into her bosom, looking around to make sure no one had noticed before lying back down with a sigh of relief.
This wine gourd, Mo Qingchen had tried various methods to test it, but unexpectedly, except for the endless good wine, she couldn't find any abnormalities, after a long time, she also gave up, anyway, that good wine was mellow and smooth, no problem drinking two mouthfuls.
But now that he had entered the world of cultivators, Mo Qingchen once again had expectations for this wine gourd. It must have some extraordinary aspect to it; he just hadn't discovered it yet.
Huh, I wonder if after becoming a Qi Refining stage cultivator, one would be able to discover its uses?
Mo Qingchen thought to himself like this, and then reached out to pat his hot face: "Don't think about it, don't think about it, hurry up and sleep. Tomorrow I'll still be six-year-old Mo Qingchen..."
It was probably because she had drunk some wine that Mo Qingchen slept extremely soundly for the whole night, and when she opened her eyes, she saw the bright sunlight outside the window.
"Bad luck!" Mo Qingchen suddenly jumped up and rushed out, almost colliding with Yunzhi who was entering the room.
"Miss, you're awake." Yunzhi had changed into a pale blue dress with a pattern of lotus flowers, and her double buns were neatly styled, making her look even more lovely in the clear morning of midsummer.
"Yunzhi, didn't I oversleep? Why didn't you wake me up?" Mo Qingchen directly took the washbasin from Yunzhi's hand and started washing his face with a scoop of water.
Yun Zhi saw Mo Qingchen's flustered appearance and felt that she finally looked like a six-year-old kid, covering her mouth to laugh: "Miss, you didn't oversleep, the breakfast delivery hasn't arrived yet!"
"Huh? Not late?" Mo Qingchen raised his face and stared blankly at Yunzhi.
"No." Yunzhi hastily used a handkerchief to wipe away the water droplets on Mo Qingchen's face, and then handed over the willow branch with toothpaste made from green salt.
Mo Qingchen sighed that his biological clock had been oppressed by Liu Yang for a long time, it was really too punctual. However, after sleeping so soundly overnight, he now truly felt refreshed and invigorated, as if his entire body had become lighter.
"Where's Grandfather?" Mo Qingchen asked as he walked out with Yun Chi's help after finishing packing up.
"The Fifth Master is practicing qigong in the courtyard." Yunzhi said.
Mo Qingchen turned his head and asked, "Grandfather last night... what time did he come back?"
Yun Chi paused for a moment and replied: "It seems to be at one o'clock in the middle of the night."
Mo Qingchen furrowed her brow, and in a moment, it was already more than an hour since Mo Dajian brought her back home. Where did Grandfather go for such a long time?
Could it be that he returned to the woods by the grave to look for that woman?
Mo Qingchen's heart skipped a beat as he thought of this, shook his head and walked out.
Mo Danyan habitually sat cross-legged on the mat under the old peach tree, hearing a noise and opening his eyes to say with a smile: "Girl, are you up?"
Mo Qingchen quietly observed Mo Dajian's face, still radiant with a healthy glow, without any signs of abnormality. She had the urge to ask him something, but thought better of it, after all, she was just a six-year-old little girl. She figured Grandpa wouldn't think it necessary to tell her anything anyway, and even if she did know, there's nothing she could do about it.
Mo Danyan saw Mo Qingchen and didn't respond for a moment. He stood up, took big strides to walk in front of Mo Qingchen and said: "What's wrong, little girl? Were you scared yesterday?"
Mo Qingchen shook his head: "No, Grandpa, you got up really early."
"Haha, you little girl, Grandpa is old and sleeps less, unlike you who are in the prime of your youth and love to sleep." Mo Danyan said with a smile.
Mo Qingchen looked at Mo Danyan's full head of black hair and rosy complexion, suspiciously saying: "Grandfather looks very young."
Mo Danyan narrowed his eyes and pinched Mo Qingchen's face, saying: "Grandpa is already over 80 years old, silly girl."
"Ah, how old is Second Master then?" Mo Qingchen asked in surprise. She had always thought that Mo Danyan was only in his fifties.
"Your second uncle is only five years older than your grandfather, okay, little girl, come and eat." Mo Danyan seemed reluctant to say more, pulling Mo Qingchen to sit under the tree on a stone bench.
Mo Qingchen ate mouthful by mouthful, still in shock in his heart. Second Grandfather and Grandfather were about the same age, but the difference in appearance was astonishingly huge. Could it be that this was the effect of cultivation?
Second Grandpa is now at the fourth layer of Qi Refining, I wonder what Grandpa has cultivated into?
After dinner, Mo Qingchen went down to the Cloud Branch Road under the Chao Yang Hall again.
Second Grandfather sat in the small hall as usual, hearing the sound and lifting his wrinkled eyelids to take a look.
"Good morning, Second Grandfather." Mo Qingdun called out in a clear and crisp voice.
"Xiao Shi Liu, you're up earlier than yesterday." Er Ye said in response.
Mo Qingchen smiled and walked into the flower gate.
Today, because I came a bit early, there was only one person in the house. He was the oldest of the boys, with his eyes slightly closed. When he heard the noise, he opened his eyes and took a look.
Mo Qingchen smiled and nodded at him.
The boy was taken aback for a moment, then forced out an unnatural smile, and immediately closed his eyes again.
Mo Qingchen silently thought that this unknown cultivator was truly diligent, and thinking of his own inferior spiritual roots, he quickly sat down in yesterday's position and began to cultivate.
"I feel my surroundings are full of bright light spots, they keep wandering around and finally slowly enter my body..." Mo Qingchen imagined the scene with rapt attention, but it was still pitch black.
Footsteps kept coming, Mo Qingchen seemed to have not heard them. With the year-end small comparison imminent, what she had to do now was to hurry in and get ready, so that she could put up a fight.
Mo Yuqi stepped inside, and upon seeing Mo Qingchen sitting cross-legged on the floor, she felt a sudden sense of discomfort in her chest. She blurted out, "Hey, Little Sixteen, you're up early today! Do you feel any energy entering your body?"
Mo Qingchen's eyelids moved slightly, but he didn't make a sound.
"Eleventh sister, sixteenth younger sister only started practicing yesterday, how can she possibly guide the energy into her body today? It took me half a month to achieve that." Mo Qingyu said seriously.
Mo Yuqi secretly rolled her eyes and thought to herself, "This silly girl is so different from her older sister Mo Ranyi. But it's good this way, if they were both like Mo Ranyi, I'd be exhausted to death."
"Fourteenth sister, you have a Three Spirit Root, although not as good as tenth sister, but it's not bad either. Unlike some people who are fake spirit roots, can't even break through the initial stage of Qi Refining their whole life, what a waste of resources. By the way, second grandfather outside is getting old, should have a successor soon, hehehe..." Mo Yuqi smiled lightly.
"Have you had enough?" The young man who had been silent all along suddenly opened his eyes and said in a frosty tone.
