Chapter 202: Missed Opportunity

Chi Lianxia was puzzled in Wanxiangzhai, but Xiao Mian, who had brought Xiao Chuqing to Qianfu Hall, felt relaxed: because he really didn't need the pill!

This was what Guitou had repeatedly ordered him to do after taking the Dao Transformation Pill to eliminate Dao Ji.

Since Xiao Mian plans to follow the path of the ancient monks of the Three Meridians, it is best not to take any pills before successfully condensing the infant. For the ancient monks, the stage before the Nascent Soul is considered the initial foundation building period. This If you take pills at this time, although it will speed up your cultivation, it will make the monk's foundation unstable and his true energy mixed.

What's more, fellow practitioner Xiao Mian's cultivation speed is almost nine times that of Fu Qingqiong's. Why should he take pills to increase his cultivation speed?

Now that he had the opportunity to take the Tao Transformation Pill, Xiao Mian naturally wanted to pursue perfection when he started practicing again, so he planned to follow the path of the ancient monks of the Three Lineages to the end.

As for the advanced pill, it was dug out from Master Yuanxu's storage bag. It seems that Master Yuanxu planned to keep it for himself before forming the pill.

Xiao Mian didn't need it himself, and seeing that Chi Lianxia had really helped him, he borrowed flowers to offer to the Buddha and gave the advanced pill to Chi Lianxia, ​​which was considered a return of her favor.

As for Xiao Chuqing, she hasn't built a foundation yet, so she is further away from forming a pill. Xiao Mian believes that he will be able to find a new advanced pill for Xiao Chuqing before she forms a pill, so he is not in a hurry.

At this time, Xiao Mian was enduring Fu Qingqiong's nagging.

"Junior brother, why did you bring the little junior sister here? The little girl has nothing to do, what if she meets a bad person? What if something goes wrong, you..., I was originally afraid that she would pester me to come to Fangshi, That’s why I deliberately left the sect early. How could you still...? You’re not so spoiled for children!”

The more she talked, the more angry she became. Fu Qingqiong gave Xiao Mian a hard look.

Xiao Mian touched his nose awkwardly and whispered to himself.

"I brought her here after Master agreed..."

"Master? Master also lets you do whatever you want!"

Having said that, Fu Qingqiong finally stopped complaining.

"Actually, I think it's time to bring her to see the outside world. Thinking back to our time, if we didn't have that experience of going down the mountain, I might have been refined into an inexplicable elixir by Yuanxu. Everyone's path depends on it. Instead of having us arrange a predetermined path for her, it is better for her to adapt to the survival rules of this spiritual world earlier. It is better to teach others how to fish than to teach others how to fish!"

Fu Qingqiong was stunned when he heard this, and then fell silent. After a long time, he raised his head and looked at Xiao Mian.

"Are you leaving the Five Elements Sect?"

"……,yes!"

"when are we leaving?"

"The sword fight will end!"

"Going to Wan Zongyuan?"

"Well! Not only Wan Zongyuan, I plan to use Wan Zongyuan to go north to Xishu Prefecture and east to Zhongzhou. If there is a chance, I will also go to Northern Wei Prefecture! To Soochow Prefecture!" It seems that the more he talks, the more excited he becomes. , Xiao Mian looked at the sky outside the window with some longing, and said to himself: "I want to travel all over the world, and I want to find my own road!"

Fu Qingqiong looked at Xiao Mian foolishly, saying nothing, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.

Just like this, Fu Qingqiong looked at Xiao Mian like this.

For a long time, neither of them spoke, only the occasional rising and falling of each other's breathing.

"I heard that my master once traveled to Zhongzhou. After returning to the sect, he retreated for ten years and successfully advanced to Nascent Soul. Only then did I preserve the ten thousand-year foundation of my Five Elements Sect." Looking at Xiao Mian's back, Fu Qingqiong said with a chuckle: "Junior brother Xiao has such ambitions, which is the blessing of my Five Elements Sect. I think that in the future, when junior brother returns to the sect, even if he is not the ancestor of Yuanying, he will definitely not be far away. Senior sister, I wish you great success!"

"Sister!"

"Go! Don't worry about that girl Chu Qing. Senior sister and I are taking care of her, and Master is here. No one can bully her, and no one dares to bully her!"

Seeing Xiao Mian turn around, Fu Qingqiong turned his back.

"It's late today, let's not talk about this for now. The auction will start tomorrow. Is there anything you want in particular, junior brother? If there is anything, senior sister can help you take a photo. Anyway, it's using the sect's assets. Quan Dang It’s just a case of senior sister showing favoritism due to official duties.”

"..., no!" Looking at Fu Qingqiong's slightly frail figure, Xiao Mian felt that all his ambitions had turned into water. He could hardly help but step forward to comfort Fu Qingqiong, but he did not take that step. Instead, he walked out and whispered: "Thank you, senior sister, for your care over the years. I will never forget it!"

After saying this, Xiao Mian walked out of the room.

After a long time, Fu Qingqiong turned around, looked at the empty door and smiled bitterly.

Fu Qingqiong also has a younger brother, who is about the same age as Xiao Chuqing. However, because he was born with a nine-yin demon bone body, he is frail and sick, and has no possibility of practicing.

The two siblings relied on Fu Qingqiong alone to support them before they came to the Five Elements Sect. After joining the sect, Fu Qingqiong learned that in order to dissolve his brother's Nine Yin Demonic Bone Body, he needed the fourth-level Qi Sect elixir, Tianyang Bone Transformation Dan.

It is precisely because of this that Fu Qingqiong began to practice crazily, striving to become an inner disciple as soon as possible and obtain the Yang Hua Bone Pill with his own strength.

It was this kind of living environment that created Fu Qingqiong's cold and calm personality; at this time, Lu Chengfeng, who knew from somewhere that Fu Qingqiong needed Tianyang Bone Transformation Pill, took this as a condition and asked Fu Qingqiong to deliberately approach Xiao Mian.

Since then, there have been several lives and deaths, and several separations and separations.

Xiao Mian certainly has feelings for Fu Qingqiong, and Fu Qingqiong's feelings for Xiao Mian are not unintentional.

After all, Fu Qingqiong exchanged the information about Xiao Mian's whereabouts for the Tianyang Huagu Pill. Although Xiao Mian asked her to do this, she still felt bad.

As for Xiao Mian, the blood feud was like a mountain pressing on his shoulders. How could he have time to talk about love?

After revenge, the sect was in danger. Xiao Mian and Fu Qingqiong were both elite disciples under Leng Ningyu. They practiced hard and had no time to spare.

Therefore, the matter was delayed until now.

After going through all the things, Xiao Mian made up his mind to travel around the world.

After returning to the room, Xiao Mian did not sit in meditation, but just sat in a chair, staring blankly. Guitou seemed to know that he was in a bad mood and surprisingly did not make trouble.

At this time, Xiao Mian was also recalling the bits and pieces between him and Fu Qingqiong.

From the initial meeting, to the subsequent acquaintance, to getting along with each other, saving each other in the Trial Valley, accompanying each other when traveling down the mountain, helping each other when fighting against the Lu family, accompanying each other after returning to the sect, and even the final acquaintance, the past events are vivid in my mind, as if they happened yesterday.

But time has passed, and things are different today...

From the amazement when I first met Fu Qingqiong, to the subsequent heartbeat, Xiao Mian remembered it clearly, and even at a certain period, Xiao Mian was extremely hardworking because he wanted to catch up with Fu Qingqiong's cultivation.

Now thinking about it, maybe this is the reason why Lu Chengfeng introduced Fu Qingqiong to me back then.

But later, Xiao Mian guessed his inhuman experience and blood feud. Under the pressure of revenge, he had to bury his love for his children in his heart, and even with a cautious attitude of doubting everything, he deliberately alienated Fu Qingqiong.

After the extermination of Yuanxu, a three-year preparation period came. Xiao Mian and Fu Qingqiong were too busy to split themselves. It was not until half a year ago when Dan Qiusheng came out of retreat and settled the matter in one fell swoop that the situation of the Five Elements Sect became slightly stable. However, due to the approaching sword fighting meeting in Nanyue Province, Xiao Mian was busy breaking through his own cultivation to the high level of the foundation building period, and Fu Qingqiong was busy helping Leng Ningyu deal with the affairs of the sect. There was another delay. It was not until tonight that the two met alone.

Xiao Mian knew that Fu Qingqiong also had a good impression of him, but today, it seems that things have changed and nothing has happened...

If Xiao Mian followed Dan Qiusheng's advice and switched to the lineage of the headmaster of Hou Tuping and became the next headmaster of the Five Elements Sect, it would naturally be a happy thing for him and Fu Qingqiong to become a Taoist couple. After all, Fu Qingqiong's role in the sect is exactly the same as that of Leng Ningyu before. In the future, Xiao Mian will be the headmaster and Fu Qingqiong will be the headmaster's wife.

The two of them sing and follow each other, which is enough to be called a good story in the cultivation world of Nanyue.

However, Xiao Mian was determined to travel around the world, and he had no intention of interfering with the head of the Five Elements Sect. Unfortunately, the Five Elements Sect was in a state of disrepair, and Fu Qingqiong was indispensable to all matters. Traveling around the world seemed ordinary, but it was extremely dangerous. Xiao Mian did not dare to guarantee that he would be able to return safely. Instead of making a promise to Fu Qingqiong that might fail, it would be better to take a step back. Taking a step back would open up a new world!

It was with this mentality that Xiao Mian did not respond to Fu Qingqiong; and Fu Qingqiong, holding the mentality of not wanting to delay Xiao Mian, did not speak to keep him.

Being affectionate is like being always heartless, and being heartless is not like being affectionate.
