Chapter 286 Dream
Yun Ci looked at Si Qingxuan with dissatisfaction.
This person is meddling way too much.
Yun Ci can be quite rebellious at times. Being constantly controlled has stirred up her rebellious streak.
"You're so annoying, you know? You have to control everything! You're meddling way too much!"
Yun Ci put her arm on the table and said angrily.
When angry, Yun Ci's eyes widened even more, but they had no intimidating power whatsoever.
Si Qingxuan paused for a moment, stared at Yun Ci for a few seconds, and then said coldly,
"The Jade Void Immortal Market is a mixed bag, with cultivators from all sorts of sects and independent practitioners." Demons might also be hiding there, "It's not safe."
Yun Ci was stunned, not expecting this reason. He opened his mouth but couldn't speak for a long time. Finally, he stubbornly said,
"Then why didn't you say so in the beginning? You only said you weren't allowed to go. Who knew you meant well..."
Speechless.
Shen Wenchun looked at his junior brother with a slight smile on his face.
My junior brother has a soft heart.
Immortal Venerable Jiqing usually lets his disciples resolve their own affairs.
The man, as aloof as snow, sat in the main seat without saying a word.
"In short, you're not allowed to go. If you want to go, I can take you," Si Qingxuan said.
Yun Ci shook her head. "Tch, I'm not going with you."
"Oh dear, come on, come on! Mmm! Junior Brother's cooking is so delicious."
Gu Yan smoothed things over, while giving Yun Ci a look.
Yun Ci saw it and blinked.
......
The final exorcism of demonic energy was a complete success.
Inside the room at the highest point of Qingyun Peak, with the best view.
At this moment, only Si Qingxuan, Gu Yan, and Yun Ci were in the room.
Si Qingxuan checked the time, got up and walked over. With a casual wave of his hand, the puppet birds that had been flying all over the room flew together and landed in one place.
"It's midnight, time to sleep," Si Qingxuan said.
Yun Ci looked at Si Qingxuan and said, "I'm not sleepy yet. I'm not going to sleep. If you want to sleep, go to sleep. Don't worry about me."
As he spoke, he picked up another bird and started playing with it.
Si Qingxuan paused, then looked at Gu Yan.
Gu Yan knew that their senior brother wanted his junior brother to rest well, even though he felt that his junior brother was fine after eating the Snow Maiden Fruit.
So Gu Yan mouthed "Go to sleep, don't mess with Senior Brother" to Yun Ci before running out.
Only Yun Ci and Si Qingxuan remained in the room.
Yun Ci, “…”
No, Gu Yan, why are you such a coward?
Si Qingxuan didn't press Yun Ci, but sat down beside her and picked up a book.
The kerosene lamp flickered, illuminating that jade-like face.
Although he did not force Yun Ci, he did not use his power to suppress Yun Ci.
But to Yun Ci, this person was still like a raging flood or a ferocious beast.
"Not playing anymore? You can continue if you want to," Si Qingxuan said.
What's the point of playing with birds?
He was jumping around in the room like an idiot!
Yun Ci was so angry that she simply stopped playing.
She lay on the bed, her back to Si Qingxuan.
Without anyone to join in the commotion, Yun Ci was indeed tired. In addition, today's task of eliminating demonic energy near his dantian was too exhausting, leaving him quite weary.
I fell asleep unconsciously.
After an unknown amount of time, Yun Ci turned over, opened her eyes groggily, and saw Si Qingxuan sitting there reading a book.
The Demon King hasn't left yet...
Yun Ci closed her eyes again and fell asleep.
Si Qingxuan slowly put down the book, looked up at Yun Ci, stood up, and went over to cover Yun Ci with a blanket.
......
Perhaps it was from exhaustion, or perhaps it was from a long dream, but Yun Ci slept for a very, very long time and had a very, very long dream.
......
a year ago.
"My goodness, this place is so big! The view is amazing, and even the grass by the roadside is full of spirit-replenishing herbs..."
"As expected of a world-renowned sect, Father and Mother, I've made something of myself!"
"Stop talking, save your energy, we still have to climb 9,999 steps later."
A group of young men, whose faces were still youthful and looked no more than twenty years old, were chattering away.
His face was filled with longing and anticipation.
Among them were sons of royalty, sons of high-ranking officials, sons of commoners, orphans from a chaotic era, and sons of wealthy merchants...
They were all "talented" people who passed the "first hurdle" and were selected.
The broad road and the ladder to the clouds are right in front of us.
Who doesn't look forward to it? Who isn't overjoyed? Who doesn't yearn for it?
Entering the sect meant they would never have to worry about food and drink again.
Not to mention joining the Xuanyuan Sect.
Becoming an outer disciple is a blessing from one's ancestors, let alone becoming an inner disciple!
Inner disciples... they wouldn't even dare to dream of it.
If they could become disciples of a senior teacher or uncle, their status would be higher than that of their father or emperor.
Who wouldn't be excited?
The young men carefully carried their jade pendants as they walked forward. The surrounding scenery was beautiful, with birds singing and flowers blooming. Looking down, the village below was clearly visible.
Looking up, you see a towering staircase of nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine steps that seems to reach straight into the clouds.
One person after another began climbing the stairs.
Among the crowd, a young boy, dressed in a brown coarse linen coat with several holes, carrying a basket on his back, and shorter than the others, stopped in front of the steps.
Yun Ci walked to the roadside and put down her basket.
The basket was placed on the ground with a dull thud, and fine dust swirled around it, indicating its weight.
Yun Ci wiped his sweat and took out a pot of water and a flatbread from his basket.
Yun Ci looked at the pancake, tapped his head with it, and made two "bang" sounds.
Her fair forehead turned red, but the pancake remained intact.
Yun Ci hesitated about whether to eat the pancake, then suddenly remembered her mother's words:
"Eat the pancakes on the way, don't throw them away, you hear me?"
Yunci ate the pancakes with water, one bite at a time.
Sometimes I choke and have to gulp down several mouthfuls of water.
He tried to swallow it down while pounding his chest.
Everyone else was climbing the stairs, but Yun Ci was eating a pancake.
Passersby saw Yun Ci sitting by the roadside eating a pancake. They were momentarily stunned by Yun Ci's beauty, glanced at her a few more times, and then continued walking uphill.
in the hall.
Twenty-four pillars stood in the surrounding area, and magic transformed the surrounding scenery into endless flowing clouds, vast, beautiful, solemn, and majestic.
The Xuanyuan Sect leader directly above is surprisingly young and refined, yet his aura is not to be underestimated.
Beside him stood a man in white, aloof and ethereal, whose face made the world seem to pale in comparison.
The man was indifferent to joy and sorrow, as if nothing in this world could affect him.
On both sides sat countless powerful figures who held prominent positions in the cultivation world.
Any one of them could shake the entire cultivation world with a stomp of their feet.
"Hehe...this young boy is quite adorable." Elder Huaiyuan chuckled as he looked at the scene in the center of the hall.
"Hmph, gluttony. How can a cultivator indulge in such gluttonous desires?" Elder Dark Pupil sneered.
Elder Chengxuan spoke up, "What's so pungent about a pancake? Has An Tong never eaten a pancake before?"
"You!" Elder Dark Pupil immediately glared and bristled.
The other senior disciples around quickly tried to smooth things over.
A senior apprentice standing nearby watched for a moment and then spoke up.
"She has an adorable and endearing appearance, but I wonder about her talent."
He just happened to be looking to take on a personal disciple this time...
"With such pure eyes, one must have a good character," said the martial uncle beside him, secretly pondering the matter.
He was pure of heart, and as long as the young disciple had decent talent, he would take him on as his personal disciple and teach him well.
The teachers and uncles from the surrounding peaks were discussing it.
The Immortal Venerable Jiqing looked at the person in the picture eating the pancake bite by bite with an indifferent expression.
The person in the video who had eaten half a pancake suddenly looked towards the screen.
Eyes facing each other.
The man in white, his hand reaching for the teacup, paused slightly.
In the blink of an eye, the person in the picture had already looked away; they had only glanced at it by chance.
The Immortal Master Jiqing put down his teacup.
Make a crisp sound.
Sect Leader Cang Xuan glanced at the teacup on the table, then looked up at the aloof-faced man and said with a smile, "Ji Qing hasn't participated in the apprenticeship ceremony for over ten years. Now that you've finally come, why not accept a disciple?"
“Take a look,” the man said.
Sect Leader Cangxuan was taken aback.
He was just joking, he didn't expect...
......
Yun Ci wrapped up the other half of the pancake, stood up, patted the dirt off her bottom, and looked up at the endless steps.
Take a deep breath.
Keep it up, Yun Ci! Once you join the sect, you won't lack money!
Yun Ci put on her basket and began climbing the steps.
The small figure was bent over by the weight of the enormous basket on its back.
After an unknown amount of time, the sun began to set.
on the steps.
A young boy, carrying a basket on his back and slightly hunched over, dressed in brown linen clothes, his slender figure bathed in the glow of the setting sun.
Step by step, I climbed the stairs, sweat dripping onto them.
Yun Ci stopped to wipe his sweat and continued walking uphill.
"How much longer? I'm exhausted, huff huff huff..." The young man in brocade robes next to him was panting like an ox.
Yun Ci nodded.
Yeah, how much longer? I'm exhausted too...
"Huff, huff, huff..." Yun Ci gasped for breath as she looked up in the glow of the setting sun. The steps were bathed in the shimmering light of the setting sun.
It's getting dark. We'll walk a little further, then stop and rest when it gets dark. He's been traveling for several days and needs a break!
Yun Ci, carrying a basket on her back, continued climbing the steps.
I don't know how much time passed, but it was completely dark by then.
Yun Ci stopped, walked to the far side, and put down his basket.
