Yunlu Mountai Wind Pavilion.

  This is one of the pces in Qingxua responsible for handling the affairs of outer disciples.

  "Fairy Linglong, the matter of this young brother's registration has been handled properly. Please keep this copper mirror and this jade scroll of transmitting teiques."

  Ihe West Wind Pavilion, an old man with white hair handed a wooden box taining a copper mirror and a jade sade of white jade to Linglong.

  "Taiping, keep this copper mirror. It is not only proof of your identity as a named disciple of the outer sect, but also a magical tool for listening to the teags of the elders iure."

  Linglong first hahe copper mirror and jade scroll to Taiping.

  "That's right, outer disciples ot receive personal guidance from their masters like inner disciples. They only observe the teags of the elders through this copper mirror on the first and fifteenth day of each month."

  The old man in the West Wind Pavilion added with a smile.

  "What about this jade scroll?"

  Taiping nodded and then picked up the jade scroll to ask.

  "This is a jade scroll of transmitting teiques. It tains a Qi Refini Teique. When using it, you just o trate and stick it to your forehead."

  The old man tinued speaking.

  "That's right, the usage of the copper mirror, as well as some rules aions to be aware of after entering the sect, are all detailed in the jade scroll. You use it after settling down."

  Linglong added.

  "Okay."

  Taiping nodded.

  "Liu Gezhu, do you still have a medie garden that needs someoo take care of?"

  Linglong looked at the West Wind Pavilion's pavilion master.

  "Well..."

  Liu Gezhu's expression stiffened.

  Ier sect, the easiest pce to ear is undoubtedly the spirit medie garden. Not only is the work easy, but you also earn a lot of merit.

  "Liu Gezhu, this child is a distaive of mine. If you help with this matter, sider it a favor owed by Zhao Linglong of the Seventh Peak."

  Zhao Linglong said seriously.

  Upon hearing this, Liu Gezhu's eyes suddenly lit up.

  He knew Zhao Linglong's identity, a direct disciple personally taught by the Peak Master of the Seventh Peak. Her future prospects were limitless, and a favor from her was valuable.

  "Since Fairy Linglong has spoken, I will naturally help with this favor."

  Liu Gezhu pondered for a moment and then nodded.

  Upon hearing this, Zhao Linglong breathed a sigh of relief.

  And Taiping, who was beside them, gave Zhao Linglong a grateful look. He silently remembered this favor in his heart.

  "To be ho, uhe jurisdi of our West Wind Pavilion, there is indeed a medie garden in the mountains to the west of Yunlu Mountain that has no oo take care of."

  Liu Gezhu poio a map on the wall while speaking, then stroked his beard and said, "It is located in Qingzhu Valley, three thousand miles away from the West Wind Pavilion. It is called Green Bamboo Residence. Besides a three-acre spirit medie garden, there is also a ready-made small courtyard for you to live and cultivate in."

  ***

  Half an hour ter.

  At the entrance of the West Wind Pavilion.

  "Pavilion Master, didn't some cultivators report that there were evil spirits appearing in Green Bamboo Residence? If we arrahat kid there, it wouldn't be good if something happened and we couldn't expin it to Fairy Linglong, right?"

  Looking at Fairy Linglong and Taiping leaving on the Immortal e, a manager of the West Wind Pavilion looked worriedly at the old pavilion master beside him.

  "It's just groundless rumors. A few disciples from the Fourth Peak have already checked it out a few days ago and found nothing unusual."

  Liu Gezhu shook his head dismissively.

  "Besides, even if there is a problem, he is just an outer disciple from outside the mountain. If he dies, he dies. It's already good enough for these new named disciples to survive in the mountains for half a year. If I have to take responsibility for every death, would I still be the pavilion master?"

  He then gave the manager a disdainful look.

  "Pavilion Master is right. I was overthinking it."

  The manager retreated with a disgruntled expression.

  ***

  Another half an hour ter.

  Green Bamboo Residence.

  "Fairy Linglong, we have arrived at Green Bamboo Residence."

  The Immortal e, which could speak, fpped its wings lightly and eadily with Linglong and Taiping.

  After Taiping stood firm, he looked ahead.

  In a lush bamboo forest, a small courtyard made of mud walls sat quietly, with scattered bamboo leaves almost c the doorstep.

  "Little Taiping, you will have to rely on yourself from now on."

  Linglong looked at the sky and couldn't help but feel relut to say to Taiping.

  It was time for her appoi with the Bck Dragon Elder.

  "Thank you, Sister Linglong. I will work hard in my cultivation and strive to reach the Seventh Peak as soon as possible."

  On Taiping's young face, a determined expression appeared that was beyond his age.

  "Sister believes in you."

  Linglong raised her hand and smiled as she touched Taiping's little face. Then, she took out a bone flute and a money pouch from her sleeve and hahem to Taiping, saying:

  "This bone flute be used to attraearby spirit birds. The money pouch tains thirty merit s given by the West Wind Pavilion to eaew named disciple. If you have urgent needs, you spend o to have a nearby spirit bird take you to buy things. But don't use these thirty merit s recklessly, because unless something ued happens, your backyard medie garden should be abandoned, and you will his moo buy seeds and food."

  "I won't use them recklessly, Sister Linglong."

  Taiping nodded and accepted the bone flute and money pouch.

  "Little Taiping, until we meet again. Take care."

  Linglong, who had already boarded the Immortal e, waved her hand with a smile towards Taiping.

  "Goodbye, Sister Linglong."

  Taiping also waved back at Linglong.

  "Whoosh!"

  As soon as the words fell, the Immortal e fpped its wings, creating a gust of wind as it soared into the sky.

  "Little Taiping, I hope we meet again."

  Linglong sighed softly as she looked at the shrinking figure below.

  Having grown up in Qingxua since childhood, she was well aware that only a few outer disciples with white spirit bones could ultimately be accepted as disciples of the Seventh Peak. Most of them would not be able to pass the sele of the Seventh Peak within three years.

  ***

  "Squeak..."

  As soon as Linglo, Taiping pushed open the courtyard door and walked in with big strides, stopping only when he reached the medie garden in the backyard.

  "Just as Sister Linglong said, this medie garden is indeed abandoned."Looking at the medie garden in front of him, filled with weeds aion, Xu Taiping muttered under his breath.

  However, his rush to the medie garden was not to firm this.

  Xu Taiping carefully took out a wooden box from his bosom, then took out a small por bottle from inside, and poured out the soybean seed from the small por bottle.

  Yes, this was the soybean seed his grandfather had left him.

  "Grandfather said, when I get to the Immortal Mountain and pnt this seed, I will gain anreat fortuity."

  He whispered as he squatted on the ground, then dug a hole in the soil of the medie garden with his hand, and then phe soybean seed.

  "If that elixir is real, then this seed must be real too."

  As Xu Taiping said this, he scraped some more soil from the ground with his small hand, very carefully burying the soybean seed.
