Chapter 865

The small hill looked huge but when Peacock and the rest entered, they realized that it was much bigger than they had imagined.

However, when they entered, they were greeted by a rather large study room. The study room did not have many furnishings and there was only a small bookshelf by the wall. There were only a dozen or so books on the bookshelf and they were not very thick. Beside the bookshelf was a wall that emitted a faint white glow and was about the height of a person.

Furthermore, there were no tables or chairs in the study room. There were only a few praying mats on the floor!

The three of them looked at each other and Swift tactfully said, "Senior Peacock, Senior Chen, you two go first!"

As he spoke, he took two steps back.

Chen Chen was stunned and pushed Peacock with her shoulder. She smiled and said, "Senior Peacock, you're taking advantage of us. You go first!"

Peacock shook her head and said, "According to Sect Leader, the path to immortality is dependent on fate. It's not something that can be taken advantage of just by being in front. This bookshelf may be small but it is enough for the three of us. You two don't have to be so polite. Let's go together."

After she finished speaking, she pulled the two of them to the front.

Chen Chen did not think much of it but Swift's eyes were filled with gratitude.

Nun Xuezhen was different from Nun Jingfan. She was not an elder of the Incense Sect. It was only because of the many chores in the sect that many disciples knew about her. Swift's position in Mo Xuan's palace was different from Peacock and Chen Chen's. They did not reveal much about themselves. This time, she was able to stand out and pass the selection. Even the Sect Leader was surprised.

Although the Sect Leader had already said that the Immortal Dao depended on luck, after all, whoever could look at the cultivation technique first would definitely be able to find the cultivation technique that was suitable for them first. This advantage was something that could be thought of even if one thought with their feet.

Seeing that Peacock was so generous and did not take advantage of others, Swift immediately felt closer to her.

The three of them walked to the front of the bookshelf and looked up and down. They were not in a hurry to choose.

The three of them roughly skimmed through the booklets. "Firmament Mental Cultivation Method", "Star and Moon Mental Cultivation Method", "Green Wood Mental Cultivation Method", "Water Hazy Mental Cultivation Method" … strange names appeared one by one in front of them. However, all of these books had the same appearance, only the handwriting was different.

After pondering for a long time, Peacock saw that the other two didn't want to take it. She stretched out her hand and took out a small booklet with the words "Ice Amplification Technique" written on it. After Peacock took the mental cultivation technique, the other two also took out their own mental cultivation techniques. They were "Blazing Heart Mental Cultivation Technique" and "Star Slashing Technique" respectively.

Following which, the three of them each found a praying mat and sat down cross-legged. Then, they flipped open the book and began to read it carefully.

On the mountain path of the Distant Flame Hall, Zhang Xiaohua was happily walking. It was as if there was an endless amount of energy in his body. Even his mouth was humming a tune that was out of tune. Beside him, Zhang Pinger was also beaming as she followed behind with a rosy face.

Ever since Zhang Xiaohua met her dream, her heart was filled with sunshine. Everything was pleasing to her eyes. Even with Zhang Pinger, she was more talkative. Naturally, Zhang Pinger didn't know the reason. She only thought that her feelings were known by Zhang Xiaohua. Of course, Zhang Xiaohua was the one who secretly displayed their love for each other. Hence, Zhang Pinger was happy with Zhang Xiaohua these few days. Happiness was written all over her face. She didn't look like the ice beauty from Fiery Palace at all.

Seeing Zhang Xiaohua's energetic figure walking in front of her, Zhang Pinger couldn't help but raise her eyebrows. She raised her voice and said, "Senior, don't walk so fast. Wait for me."

"I'm not fast, I'm not fast." Zhang Xiaohua giggled and quickened her pace.

"Senior, you're bullying me. You know that it's not appropriate to use your qinggong here, yet you insist on walking so fast. I … can't even catch up to you ~" Zhang Pinger's tone was a little charming.

"Then hurry up. I'll wait for you ~"

Zhang Xiaohua waved her hand. It was as if there was a gust of wind. The red-crowned cranes that were already alert by the side of the road followed Zhang Xiaohua's gesture and soared into the sky. The loud chirps of the birds were exceptionally moving.

"Hahaha." Zhang Xiaohua laughed and turned a corner.

Seeing that Zhang Xiaohua's figure had disappeared, Zhang Pinger panicked. She stole a glance behind her and used her qinggong to chase after her. However, just as she turned the corner, she bumped into Zhang Xiaohua who was standing there motionlessly. Zhang Pinger couldn't stop herself and rushed onto Zhang Xiaohua's back.

Just as she was about to crash into Zhang Xiaohua, Zhang Xiaohua tilted her body slightly and wrapped her arms around Zhang Pinger's waist.

"You … you're courting death!"

Zhang Pinger's mouth and nose were filled with Zhang Xiaohua's scent. She looked at Zhang Xiaohua's brows in a daze and said, "You're scaring me by hiding here ~"

Unexpectedly, Zhang Xiaohua didn't say a word. She put Zhang Pinger down and looked ahead.

Zhang Pinger stood on the ground and felt a little reluctant. She tugged on Zhang Xiaohua's clothes and was about to say something when she heard a deep voice behind her. "Junior Zhang, you're really passionate!"

"Ah?"

When Zhang Pinger heard this, she almost screamed in shock. She raised her head and looked at Zhang Xiaohua in disbelief. Her face was as dark as water. She immediately turned around and saw a middle-aged man with a full forehead and a slightly dignified look on his face.

At this moment, there was a hint of mockery in the man's eyes.

Seeing this man, Zhang Pinger's face was immediately filled with nervousness. She retracted her hand from Zhang Xiaohua's clothes and said softly with a red face, "Senior Brother Xi!"

Hearing Zhang Pinger call this man "Senior Brother Xi", Zhang Xiaohua was even more shocked. In her impression, the Fragrant Religion respected the female disciples. As long as the male disciples saw a female disciple, they would call her Senior Sister, regardless of age.

On Lingering Fragrance Peak, it was even more so. Although Zhang Pinger was young, many male disciples from the Distant Fire Hall called her Senior Sister Zhang.

At this moment, this "Senior Sister Zhang" actually called this male disciple "Senior Brother Xi" instead of "Senior Brother" in private. This meant that this male disciple's identity was thought-provoking.

Hence, Zhang Xiaohua unconsciously narrowed her eyes and looked at the middle-aged man who blocked her path when she turned around the mountain path.

"You still remember that I am Senior Brother Xi!"

The middle-aged man's eyes were filled with mockery as he stared at Zhang Xiaohua and said, "This is the new alchemy disciple from the Distant Fire Hall, Ren Xiaoyao?"

When Zhang Xiaohua heard this, she immediately smiled and cupped her hands. "This one is indeed Ren Xiaoyao. I wonder if Senior Brother Xi …"

"Senior Brother Xi?"

The middle-aged man waved his hand and said arrogantly, "You are just a small alchemy disciple. You are not worthy to call me Senior Brother."

Zhang Xiaohua looked at this guy and the smile on her face didn't change. She cupped her hands and said, "Up to you. Anyway, I am just a small alchemy disciple. I won't be able to see Senior Brother Xi … It doesn't matter if I don't call you Senior Brother Xi!"

"Hehe." Senior Brother Xi laughed. "Little brat, you are quite arrogant. No wonder Zhang Pinger likes you!"

When Zhang Pinger heard this, her face turned even redder. She took half a step forward and stood in front of Zhang Xiaohua. She said, "Senior Brother Xi, Senior … Junior Brother Ren doesn't know anything. He doesn't know the rules of Lingering Fragrance Peak. Senior Brother, if you have something to say, you should tell me!"

Senior Brother Xi raised his head and said proudly, "Since I am here, I naturally have something to say to you!"

Then, he stared at the two of them and asked, "The two of you are so intimate now. I wonder what my Third Junior Brother thinks?"

"Third Junior Brother?" Zhang Xiaohua was stunned and looked at Zhang Pinger.

Zhang Pinger didn't need to turn her head to know Zhang Xiaohua's reaction. She immediately argued, "Senior Brother Xi, don't talk nonsense. I have nothing to do with Senior Brother Yue."

"What?"

Senior Brother Xi glanced at her and said, "Don't tell me that my Third Junior Brother went to the Distant Fire Hall a few months ago for no reason?"

Zhang Pinger's face was pale. She looked at Zhang Xiaohua nervously and explained to Senior Brother Xi and Zhang Xiaohua, "During that period of time, my Master was seriously ill. I … I was in a bad mood. Senior Brother Yue did come over to comfort me. But … ever since Master recovered, I … I haven't contacted Senior Brother Yue."

"Senior Brother Yue?" When Zhang Xiaohua heard this, she knew who it was. Wasn't he the unlucky guy who died in her hands?

Of course, Zhang Xiaohua also knew the purpose of Senior Brother Xi's visit.

Seeing that Zhang Xiaohua didn't say anything, Zhang Pinger anxiously said, "And … and ever since Junior Brother Ren came to the Distant Fire Hall, I … I haven't seen Senior Brother Yue's shadow!"

"Eh?

Is that so? "Senior Brother Xi was stunned." You really haven't seen him all this time? "

Zhang Pinger nodded. "That's right. I've been with Junior Brother Ren these few days. If you don't believe me, you can ask him!"

Senior Brother Xi smiled. "That's exactly what I wanted to ask.

Ren Xiaoyao … Do you remember the Yue Zhuoqun who wanted to buy the odd man from you on the way to Lingering Fragrance Peak? "

"Senior Brother Yue?"

Zhang Xiaohua suddenly said, "I remember, I remember. So the Senior Brother Yue you guys talked about for a long time is the handsome Senior Brother Yue. Of course I remember.

I just don't know … Senior Brother Xi … Are you here to ask about our Senior Brother Yue? "

"Yes, it's good that you know." Senior Brother Xi nodded. "Ren Xiaoyao, after you came to Lingering Fragrance Peak, have you seen my Junior Brother Yue?

For example, in the Distant Fire Hall, in the Li Cui Valley, or in the Medicine Garden? "

Senior Brother Xi's words were clear, but Zhang Xiaohua had a "confused" face. She shook her head and said, "I've only seen Senior Brother Yue outside of Lingering Fragrance Peak. When I came to Lingering Fragrance Peak, I've never seen him. That's right, I only went to Li Cui Valley to test my martial arts. I only went in once, how could I see Senior Brother Yue?

Could it be that Senior Brother Yue also wanted to test his martial arts? "

"Li Cui Valley?"

Zhang Pinger wasn't stupid and immediately became alert. She turned her head to look at Zhang Xiaohua. However, she immediately thought that if Yue Zhuoqun entered Li Cui Valley, how could Zhang Xiaohua come out?

She couldn't help but feel a little scared.

"Well, since you haven't seen him before, then forget it."

That Senior Brother Xi obviously didn't have anything that could be used against him. He probably heard the stories of others and felt that it was related to Zhang Xiaohua, so he came to ask.

"Of course, if I know that something has happened to Junior Brother Yue, or if it has anything to do with you, don't blame me for not showing mercy!"

When Zhang Pinger heard this, she immediately took half a step forward. Senior Brother Xi didn't even look at them. His feet didn't seem to exert much strength as he floated up and headed straight for the top of the mountain!
