  "Big flower, after clearing the dust, go to the waterfall in the back mountain." Gu Li ignored his little apprentice's pitiful expression and turned to instruct Tong Tian Feng Hu, but the corner of his mouth slightly curled up.

  "Let's go." The big tiger had a mischievous look on his face and swung his large tail.

  Mo Qingchen really wanted to pinch its tiger face, wondering how it managed to make such a humanized expression, but had the heart of a thief without the courage, and honestly followed along.

  Behind a thatched cottage is a mountain, and on one side of it, there is a waterfall cascading down, splashing up jade fragments.

  Mo Qing dust swept a glance, sat down with a thud beside him, two front paws propping up his body, clearly the supervisor's big tiger, secretly gritted his teeth, lowered his head and swept the small booklet a glance.

  The little booklet was very simple, it just drew eighteen basic sword postures and marked the key points. No matter how she looked at it, she felt that Gu Li's martial arts secret book was bought from some ordinary street stall.

  The master's memory was good, and Mo Qingchen read it once and memorized all the information, but put the small book into his own most intimate storage bag.

  Then, looking at the flying waterfall, he thought for a moment, took off the cyan robe worn by the foundation-building monk and changed into the cyan shirt worn during the refining period.

  Mo Qingchen originally thought that the attire of all sects was the same, but after receiving the foundation-building cultivator's attire, he discovered that although it looked the same as the Qi-refining stage cultivators' in terms of style and color, the material was completely different.

  This green robe is extremely comfortable to wear and has a certain defensive power, which can be considered a low-level defensive artifact.

  Since Master asked me not to use spiritual power to protect myself, it's better to change into this green robe.

  Take off your shoes, don't let the dust trample on the rounded and crystal-like pebbles that have been impacted by the waterfall. Take a deep breath, then gritted teeth and drilled into the waterfall. Book lovers also like to read:

  "Ah." Mo Qingchen let out a low cry, and unconsciously mobilized his spiritual energy before feeling slightly more at ease.

  It turned out that this waterfall was not an ordinary waterfall, but a bone-piercing ice. Even though she was already a foundation-building cultivator, her body was much stronger than that of a Qi-refining cultivator, and it was still difficult to bear without using spiritual power to resist.

  Master, you're ruthless! Mo Qingchen muttered to himself.

  Always paying attention to Gu Li with his divine sense, he first saw Mo Qingchen change clothes and subconsciously closed his divine sense. When he scanned again, he just saw her frowning and gritting her teeth, and couldn't help but smile slightly.

  Under the waterfall is a cold ice spring, with icy water that pierces to the bone. However, if used for long-term physical training, the benefits are self-evident.

  I thought that girl's body was mainly based on the wood and fire two spiritual roots, and also had a defensive power that was still okay with the door派服饰 to resist, even if she didn't use her spiritual power it wouldn't be so difficult to bear, but unexpectedly that girl was also stubborn, and actually changed her clothes like this.

  It's okay, her body has a strong fire. It won't hurt her body, but Gu Li thought so, and saw Mo Qingchen biting his lips to endure, with a slightly pale face, and his heart was still tight.

  Mo Qingchen didn't know that Gu Li's divine consciousness had been following her all along. When her body adapted a bit, she dispersed the protective spiritual energy.

  She understood that since her master required herself not to use spiritual power to protect her body, it must be for her own good, and also knew that she wouldn't hurt her body.

  It's just... he's also too cold!

  Mo Qingchen gritted his teeth and cursed silently. His hands, numb from the cold, grasped the wooden sword and began to practice the first basic sword move, "Pi Jian" (Chopping Sword), as shown in the small booklet.

  The waterfall fell straight down and hit the wooden sword, causing it to tilt involuntarily. Almost slipped out of hand.

  Mo Qingchen struggled to steady his wooden sword, but when he slashed out with it, he felt as if the water's force was holding him back. Taking a step forward was extremely difficult. Book fans also like to read:

  It turned out that having lost his spiritual power, he was so weak! Mo Qingchen suddenly realized.

  Realizing this, it instead stirred up her stubbornness. Master said I have to link each of the eighteen sword moves a thousand times before I can go see him, and yet I don't even believe I can make one move.

  Once, twice, thrice...

  By the time the sun had set in the west, Mo Qingchu's body was already swaying unsteadily, but he had only made less than a hundred moves.

  No way, at least it has to be over a hundred times to work.

  Mo Qingchen, who had already reached his limit, was unwilling to give up, but when a strong current hit him, he suddenly felt dizzy and fainted.

  A gray shadow flashed by, and from the clear stream picked up Mo Qingchen and brought him to the grass.

  The person in his arms was already soaked to the skin, with long hair scattered like seaweed wrapping around his body, revealing a smooth and full forehead. Under the slender eyebrows, his eyes were tightly closed, and the small fan-like eyelashes curved out a beautiful arc, with water droplets still hanging on them.

  Her lips had frozen to a pale white, her face was even whiter and somewhat transparent, looking very fragile, but even the faintest color couldn't hide that stunning beauty.

  Gu Lei suddenly came to a realization, the little girl who had been in his heart all along had already grown into a woman.

  He grasped her wrist, slowly injecting spiritual energy, and instantly evaporating her clothes and the green hair on her head. Only then did he glance sideways at Tong Tianfeng Hu Beast Dao: "Dahua, why did you let her faint into the water?"

  Tongtian Fenghu listened and showed an extremely wronged expression: "Master, you're being biased! You were the one who let her come to temper her body, she just fainted, what's the big deal!"

  Gu Li was choked for a moment, and coincidentally, Mo Qingchen opened his eyes at this time.

  "Master?" A warm and gentle spiritual energy flowed into his body, and his originally cold body slowly warmed up. Mo Qingchen called out.

  Only then did she realize that she was being held in his arms, with her wrist still grasped in his hand. Her face suddenly turned red, and the waterfall's water didn't feel cold anymore.

  Jian Mo Qing woke up with a start, and Gu Li immediately let go, saying in a low voice: "Qing Chen, you need to understand the principle of gradual progress. Not everything is like your foundation-building, which requires breaking through. Cultivation needs to have both tension and relaxation. If you always keep your heartstrings tight, the final result will be that they snap."

  Jian Mo Qingchen opened a pair of big eyes and stared straight at him. Gu Li was taken aback: "What, do you think Shifu is wrong?"

  Mo Qingchen shook his head and smiled faintly: "No, Master's teachings are indeed correct."

  Deeply sighing in his heart, living together day and night like this, listening to him teach with all his heart, what should he do?

  Is it allowed to let the unutterable feelings in one's heart grow wildly, or is it necessary to strangle them in the cradle?

  Mo Qingchen lost confidence in his self-control for the first time.

  She was just an ordinary girl who loved to laugh in her previous life, and although she has experienced many hardships in this life, she has the mind of an adult and has not developed a pessimistic and arrogant personality.

  She never thought that cultivating immortality must rely on a powerful man, nor did she think that cultivating immortality must abandon love. Appreciating one's own beauty alone.

  The Great Way of Longevity, she is destined to walk, as for love. It has nothing to do with this, unrelated to cultivating immortality. Unrelated to longevity, whether it's a humble maid or the rising star Mo Qingchen, they all have the right to experience it.

  She never thought that the person who made her heart skip a beat for the first time would become her master!

  "Try my skills today." Gu Li saw Mo Qingchen stunned. Thinking it was physical exhaustion, he said with a smile.

  Mo Qingchen didn't expect that her master, who looked as elegant and refined as a fairy, would have such excellent culinary skills, so good that even her raven looked down on her.

  Listening to the three spiritual beasts' teasing, looking at Gu Li's smiling face as he drank wine, Mo Qingchen's heart moved slightly. Why bother himself with unnecessary worries? They were master and disciple, and would continue to be together in the future. The time they spent together would even surpass that of those dual-cultivating Dao companions.

  Jiedan cultivators can live for 800 years, and if they form a bond with an infant, they can live for several thousand years. I've become too accustomed to having everything under control. But I forgot that emotions are the one thing that cannot be controlled.

  Let's talk about it later then.

  Mo Qingchen took a negative attitude towards something for the first time.

  In this way, Bai Ri Mo Qing dust went into the waterfall to practice swordsmanship during the day and at night he practiced the coiling silk green wood technique.

  It wasn't until she started cultivating that she realized how slow the cultivation speed was after building her foundation. Fortunately, there were vast medicinal gardens here, and Gu Li generously gave her a large quantity of ordinary Gathering Spirit Pills for the foundation-building period, enough to last her a long time.

  Although it was so, Mo Qingchen understood that she would definitely be slower than those cultivators with better spiritual roots. The reason was simple: she had the Spirit Gathering Pill given by her master, and others naturally had their own as well.

  However, after changing to the Coiling Silk Azure Wood Technique, Mo Qingchen discovered that his cultivation speed was much faster than when he used the Azure Wood Technique. It seemed that it was due to the technique itself.

  It's just that Mo Qingchu was still dissatisfied, at this speed she didn't know what year or month she could reach the Gathering Dan stage. To think that a cultivator's future potential would be greater the younger they advanced in rank.

  As time passed, Mo Qingchen discovered that Gu Li was extremely skilled in alchemy, and a bamboo pavilion contained many jade slips with books about alchemy.

  Using his spare time, Mo Qingchen occasionally flipped through it and found that there was a kind of elixir called Ningyuan Dan, which was used by cultivators in the later stage of foundation building to the Mahayana period. Even some newly formed dan cultivators who couldn't find suitable elixirs would use this dan, which was better than nothing.

  Therefore, if a cultivator in the foundational stage or intermediate stage of Dan medicine takes it, there is a risk of exploding and dying.

  Mo Qingchen had already moved the thought of this Congyuan Dan, because her foundation-building experience made her secretly suspect that her meridians and dantian should be able to withstand a greater impact of spiritual power than cultivators of the same rank.

  However, this idea has been suppressed by her, leaving it for later attempts. After all, she realized that in recent years, her master was unwilling to let her cultivate too quickly, probably still related to her hasty foundation-building in the past.

  Two years passed in the blink of an eye, and Mo Qingchen finally completed Gu Lidian's goal. What he received was a delicate book with the words "Flower Branching Wood Sword Manual" engraved on it.

  "Master?" Mo Qingchen asked in a clear voice, stroking the book in his hand.

  Gu Li's mouth curved up: "My best attack method is swordsmanship, and in my early years, I accidentally obtained two sets of sword techniques in a secret realm. This set of 'Flower Blooming Wood' sword technique is more suitable for women to cultivate."

  "Is this another set of Master's practice?" For some reason, Mo Qingchen felt a little happy in his heart.

  He paused for a moment, then just hummed softly in response.

  From then on, Mo Qing began to practice the Profound Flower Bloom Sword Technique. However, he only needed to practice every morning, and the rest of his time was spent either cultivating his techniques or studying the supplementary spells that came with them. In the blink of an eye, another five years had passed.

  At this time, it had been seven years since Mo Qingchen laid the foundation.

  On this day, Mo Qingchen had just finished his cultivation and was arguing with the three big tigers when he suddenly saw a flash of spiritual light from the closed bamboo room where Gu Li was located. The bamboo door that had been sealed for months slowly opened, and Gu Li walked out wearing a gray robe.

  "Master, congratulations." Mo Qingchen said sincerely.

  Wang Guang Zhenren finally entered the middle stage of Jiedan after seven years of accepting disciples.
