(ps: You can skip it. After this chapter, the plot of a certain female character comes to an end.)

Li Aojian glared at Zhou Shu, "Aren't you surprised? Then I am."

Zhou Shu said calmly, "What's strange? Didn't someone tell Lao Zhu that as long as Lao Zhu opens two hundred and fifty energy channels, he will be allowed to enter the inner gate? Calculating the time, Lao Zhu should be almost there."

"Do you really believe it? Such words are all lies no matter how you look at them, right?"

Li Aojian frowned and shook his head, "Although the Jade Slip Mental Technique is indeed very powerful, how can such a good thing be that two hundred and fifty energy meridians can enter the inner gate? Why didn't I enter? Huh, I'm only two hundred and fifty.

The formal cultivation of seventeen energy meridians begins."

Before reaching the fifth level of the Qi Refining Realm, two hundred and fifty Qi meridians is a big threshold, and it is also the threshold for ordinary cultivators to go further. If you cross it, your future development may be much better.

Practitioners who have the spirit and qualifications also base themselves on this.

Zhou Shu smiled and said, "Ha, the cultivator who gave him the jade slip is Elder Jin in the sect. Of course what Elder Jin said is not false."

"Elder Jin?"

Li Aojian was stunned.

Zhou Shu nodded, "Not bad."

Ever since he saw Shen Wen, he thought of Lingyunya when he first started. The two cultivators he and Zhu Dashan saw, the two cultivators playing chess, one was Shen Wen, and the other could only be Shen Wen.

Elder Jin is old.

After a little analysis, you can guess that most of the events that followed were caused by them.

"Hahahahahaha!"

Li Aojian suddenly burst into laughter and couldn't stop at all.

Zhou Shu was stunned for a moment, "Are you stupid?"

"Haha, if you say that, then Lao Zhu must have gone to Qinghe Peak to make elixirs. Haha, Lao Zhu made elixirs. It's funny to think about it!"

Li Aojian held his belly, his waist bent with laughter.

Zhou Shu also smiled spontaneously when he thought of this. Zhu Dashan, who hated alchemy the most, didn't know what his expression would be like after he found out that he was entering Qinghe Peak.

It's really funny.

"Stop talking, I'll go back first. I haven't been back to Shaofengyuan for a long time, and I still miss it a bit."

Zhou Shu laughed for a while, patted Li Aojian, and walked towards his room.

Li Aojian straightened up and said, "Wait a minute. You'd better go find your junior sister. She's been here several times. She's very anxious every time, as if there's something big going on, but she won't tell me if I ask her."

"Yang Mei?" Zhou Shu's expression was slightly condensed. Yang Mei was in a hurry to find him, so something must have happened, and he never wanted anything to happen to Yang Mei.

Li Aojian nodded, "Go and have a look."

"good."

Zhou Shu turned around and disappeared. After establishing the Foundation Stage, he launched the Shadow Escape Technique. His speed was even faster, and it could really be described as a swipe of smoke.

"This kid runs so fast." Li Aojian was stunned for a moment.

Not long after, Zhou Shu arrived at Xuexiang Garden.

It was inappropriate to use spiritual consciousness in such a place, but Zhou Shu used it anyway and accurately found the little girl dazed in front of a piece of silver moon grass.

Walking behind her, Zhou Shu whispered, "Yangmei."

"ah?"

Yang Mei was startled and quickly jumped a few steps away, holding the magic formula in her hand. When she saw it was Zhou Shu, she ran over again and said, "Brother, you are back!"

"Um."

Zhou Shu nodded calmly and looked at her. After not seeing her for a few months, Yang Mei seemed to be a little taller, and her figure became more and more exquisite, and she looked good-looking.

"Senior brother has established a foundation!"

Yang Mei opened her familiar smile, and her eyes curved into crescent moons, shining brightly. "I knew it would be like this!"

Zhou Shu smiled and nodded, "Of course, Yang Mei, you have reached the fifth level of Qi Refining Realm, very soon."

"Yeah, I worked very hard."

Yang Mei couldn't help but nod, but after a while, her face changed slightly, "Senior brother..."

Zhou Shu said warmly, "Are you looking for me in an emergency? I heard what Lao Li said."

There was anxiety in Yang Mei's eyes, "It's not me, it's Senior Sister, she's been locked up!"

"Yan Yue, who locked her up?"

A sharp look flashed in Zhou Shu's eyes. He didn't have any special feelings for Yan Yue, but he couldn't bear this kind of thing.

Yang Mei hesitated for a while, "It's from her family."

"Ah, what's going on?"

"Senior brother, keep talking, I'm afraid it's too late." Yang Mei walked quickly outside the garden.

Zhou Shu followed Yang Mei out, a little puzzled, but soon figured out the reason and sighed softly.

More than a month after Zhou Shu left, Yan Yue was also preparing to build the foundation. The place where she built the foundation was in the family. This is an ancient motto of the Yan family.

Basic success rate - of course, this is mostly just a psychological effect.

Of course, the Yan family attaches great importance to Yan Yue's foundation building, treating it as the biggest event in the family for decades. If the family has a foundation building practitioner, it will be completely different from before, and it will gain many unimaginable benefits.

But when Yan Yue said that she planned to use Ning Jian Grass to build the foundation, the entire Yan family was furious.

Everyone knows the consequences of using Ning Jian Grass to build a foundation. Failure means death, and the Yan family simply cannot afford the consequences of not having a cultivator. Without a cultivator, can it still be called a cultivating family?

For the first time, she considered herself instead of her family, but she was still a member of the family after all, and this was an inevitable fate.

The head of the Yan family, Yan Yue's father, and several relatives threatened to die, took away Yan Yue's Ningjian grass, locked her up in the Yan family, and forced her to build her foundation normally.

The Yan family tried their best but couldn't buy the Foundation Building Pill, so they had no choice but to do this.

Yan Yue refused to build the foundation like this and insisted on using Ningjiancao, but she couldn't do anything to her family, so the two sides were in a stalemate that lasted for more than three months.

Yang Mei visited Yan Yue several times, but she couldn't think of a way and could only wait.

The Yan family is not far from the Heyin sect. Zhou Shu and Yang Mei arrived in front of the Yan family not long after.

Standing in front of the door, Zhou Shu raised his consciousness to the maximum and saw Yan Yue at a glance.

Her appearance was slightly haggard, but her expression was still determined. She was sitting quietly in a small courtyard, looking at a dead tree in a daze.

"Uncle Yan, I'm here again!"

Yang Mei called the door loudly, "I brought senior brother here."

A boy came over and opened the door. Yang Mei was a little stunned, "Hey, where is senior brother?"

At this time, Zhou Shu had already used the Escape Technique and quickly walked into the small courtyard. There were simple warning formations around the small courtyard, but to him, it was like there was no such thing.

"Sister."

"ah?"

When Yan Yue heard the familiar voice, she quickly turned around, with a look of surprise on her face at the reunion after a long absence, as well as unspeakable confusion.

"Junior brother, no, senior brother, you have established a foundation..."

Zhou Shu smiled faintly, "Let's call him junior brother. Won't senior sister congratulate me?"

Yan Yue stared at Zhou Shu with complicated eyes, "Congratulations, junior brother."

"Senior sister, you should also build the foundation quickly."

"I don't want to, I want to use Ningjiancao." As if remembering something, Yan Yue became stubborn, with a long-lost stubbornness in her eyes.

Zhou Shu shook his head, "Don't you listen to me?"

"If you don't listen this time, I must use Ningjiancao, otherwise..." Yan Yue slightly lowered her head and was about to cry.

"Otherwise what?"

"Otherwise," Yan Yue hesitated for a while, as if he had made up his mind, "otherwise I will not be able to keep up with your progress, and will be left far behind by you, and will never see you again. I don't want this!

I know I'm useless, but even if I can't do anything, I still want to look at you and don't want to be abandoned by you."

After saying these words hidden in her heart, she buried her head in her chest and did not dare to look at Zhou Shu again. Two lines of tears fell uncontrollably from her face, and her hands hung down feebly.

Zhou Shu sighed softly, stretched out his hand and held her hand, "Sister, this won't happen."

"What did you say?" Yan Yue raised her head and looked at him blankly.

There was determination in Zhou Shu's eyes, "Sister, I will not abandon you, and I, Zhou Shu, will not abandon anyone who treats me well. This is moral and what I want to do."

Yan Yue looked at Zhou Shu intently, her eyes lit up. This sentence was not what she really wanted to hear, but it also gave her a lot of encouragement.

Zhou Shu's expression condensed slightly, and he nodded slowly, "Senior sister, you and I are both cultivators of immortality. We are fortunate to walk in the same path. You and I both need to understand what we want, is it immortality or something else? I am very

I know what I want, and the Tao comes first. Before I find my own Tao, I will not do unnecessary things, and senior sister, you must do the same, otherwise I will not abandon you, but you will abandon yourself."

Yan Yue paused for a moment, thinking for a long time, as if she understood, but also as if she didn't.
