Tianlu held a wooden tray in his hand, parted the clouds and mist, and landed in front of a cave dwelling on the cliff. Several spiritual maidservants hurriedly greeted him, calling out, \"Lord Tianlu.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tianlu put on a straight face and responded with feigned majesty, but the childishness in his voice could not be hidden no matter what, \"Is Miss Ci in meditation?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"After Miss returned to the cave dwelling, she rested for several days, went to pay a visit to the Changyao Baoguang Heaven, and then went to the Mizhin Ferry. Just now, she brought back many jade slips from the Mizhin Ferry,\" several spiritual maidservants said, \"She is currently reading them in the mansion and is not in meditation. Does Lord Tianlu want us to go and pass a message?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Given the friendship between Tianlu and Ruan Ci, there was originally no need to pass a message, and he could have driven straight in. But thinking of the friction when Ruan Ci met True Person Wang earlier, he couldn't help but feel a bit guilty, so he signaled the maidservant to pass a message. After a while, the maidservant came out, \"Miss Ci asks Lord Tianlu to come in quickly, and also said when did Lord Tianlu become so polite.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tianlu felt a little relieved, held the wooden tray and walked into the inner room. Ruan Ci was sitting by the window, twisting a jade slip with her slender fingers and placing it on her forehead, obviously reading the classics. Seeing Tianlu coming, she laughed, \"Tianlu, what are you doing, have you suddenly become distant with me? You could have just come in yourself, why did you have to ask someone to pass a message? Which of the maidservants serving here wasn't chosen by you for me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tianlu couldn't hear any subtext, and said foolishly, \"I'm here to deliver some rewards from the True Person, so naturally I have to be more particular, otherwise the True Person might blame me for not knowing how to do things.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ruan Ci put down the jade slip and said, \"What did you send?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She picked up the Qiankun bag, her spiritual sense penetrated it, and said while saying, \"Isn't this just something you found in the warehouse to fob me off—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her spiritual sense swept over, her voice paused, and she slowly put down the Qiankun bag. Tianlu observed her expression and said carefully, \"This time it's really not, it's all a list opened by the True Person for me. The True Person said that it is not easy to break through in the Foundation Establishment stage. Miss Ci might be able to use these treasures. Even if you can't use them, it's good to take them to give to others to do a favor. In the exchange of human feelings, you can't always have others send gifts to Miss, and Miss can't send anything.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Qiankun bag in Miss Ci's hand is for you to give gifts. There is a bottle of elixir in this Qiankun bag. If you refine it with all your strength, it will take a few years, enough to make Miss condense another layer of Dao foundation. The True Person also said that this elixir and the elixir given by True Person Qiu can be taken consecutively at the eighth level of Foundation Establishment. There will be changes in the last three levels, and the elixir may not be effective. Using it this way is the most cost-effective.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tianlu put another Qiankun bag by Ruan Ci's hand, and picked up the third small bottle, carefully saying, \"This is the spiritual tea rewarded to Miss Ci by the True Person. The True Person likes the Bamboo Night Clear Wind Dew presented by Miss Ci very much, saying that the tea fragrance is very pure. Since Miss Ci also likes this kind of tea, he rewarded Miss with another bottle of Wutong Clear Dew. This is also a fragrant tea. All the spiritual essence is in that section of tea fragrance. You only need to sniff it and it will penetrate your lungs and chest, and you can enjoy the essence, which is also quite beneficial to cultivation.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ruan Ci's face turned red, and she said, \"Really? When I bought it in the Jinbo Market, why didn't anyone tell me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tianlu laughed, \"Maybe they said it, but Miss Ci didn't pay attention? The True Person also said that he originally wanted to make some magic weapons for Miss Ci. After going out this time, you naturally know what magic weapons you want to use. But Miss Ci is in a hurry to cultivate, so forget it. Go find him after you leave seclusion. Anyway, there is nothing to do in the sect for a while, and it doesn't matter if you build it later.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He came this time, sending and rewarding, and explaining it clearly, like a peacemaker. The implication was to describe True Person Wang as a master who was meticulous and generous to his disciples. Ruan Ci pouted her mouth, half-believing, and squinted at Tianlu, saying, \"The things were given by him, but the words were all your own, right? I don't believe Master would say such beautiful words.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tianlu smiled, \"Is that so? Then how should the True Person say it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Just like this Wutong Clear Dew, it was probably taken by you on your own initiative,\" Ruan Ci said while looking at Tianlu's expression. Seeing his expression, she knew it was really given by True Person Wang, so she changed the subject and said, \"Even if Master gave it to me, he definitely didn't say it like that. I guess, he said it like this—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She coughed lightly, imitating True Person Wang's tone, and said coldly, \"Go, send this Wutong Clear Dew to that country bumpkin Ruan Ci, so that she can open her eyes and know how to comment on spiritual tea, so as not to disgrace the elegance.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Foundation Establishment cultivators can distort their throat muscles at will. Ruan Ci's voice was already extremely similar, and the cold and arrogant tone was learned to ten percent. Tianlu was amused and laughed, \"Miss Ci's courage is getting bigger and bigger! This is Zixu Heaven, everything is under the True Person's care, and you are not afraid that the next time you meet, the True Person will punish you!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Going out to exercise people is true. After Ruan Ci went out and came back, she felt more closeness to Zixu Heaven. Only by knowing how dangerous the outside world is can she understand how precious the protection and teaching given by Zixu Heaven and the Shangqing Sect are. True Person Wang never pointed out her cultivation in several meetings, but the many insights he taught were unknown how many were the unpassed secrets of the outside world. As Jiang Youwen said, in this Langhuan Heaven, the most precious thing is actually insight. Therefore, she didn't have the hidden caution she had before in Zixu Heaven. Although this place couldn't completely shield the perception of the Dongyang Dao Ancestor like the Hengze Heaven, it should have some protection. If she had to choose someone to monitor her, she would naturally prefer True Person Wang rather than the Dongyang Dao Ancestor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It's strange to say, she didn't feel very close to True Person Wang before, and when she was thinking about breaking out of the sect at any time, she didn't really get angry with True Person Wang. But once she really regarded herself as True Person Wang's disciple, Ruan Ci's temper became tricky. It was just a cup of tea, and True Person Wang didn't drink it if he didn't drink it. If it were normal, Ruan Ci wouldn't care at all. This time, she was so calculating, as if she had become Jiang Youwen's temper.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That temper was inexplicable. She knew she was in the wrong, but her emotions still couldn't be dissipated. True Person Wang sent Tianlu to be so gentle, Ruan Ci still hummed, \"What will the True Person punish me for? The son is not taught, the father's fault. The disciple is ignorant, naturally it is the teacher's fault. If he wants to punish me, he might as well punish himself first. He didn't tell me this, and he didn't tell me that. At the Yiyun Ferry, I secretly kowtowed and burned incense to him, praying for a long time, just afraid that the good things in Biyuan Mountain would be taken away by outsiders. I don't even ask him what the situation in Biyuan Mountain is now, and he doesn't want to tell me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The True Person didn't say, but I know,\" Tianlu opened his eyes wide, looking at Ruan Ci with a trace of blame. Ruan Ci couldn't help laughing and pulled his hair buns, saying, \"Isn't it because of your great credit for passing messages on both sides?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tianlu hurriedly protected the two hair buns and ran away a few steps, then turned to look at Ruan Ci, hesitating like a little deer and walking closer again. Ruan Ci saw he was cute and couldn't help stuffing a piece of fragrant cake into his mouth. Tianlu was very puzzled, swallowed it in a few mouthfuls, still had some vigilance, didn't dare to get too close to Ruan Ci, and wandered by her side, saying, \"After hearing Miss Ci's message, the True Person discussed with the Sect Master and sent people to guard Biyuan Mountain, driving away many sneaky people, and two fat bugs that were very full. But the True Person said that the real good things in Biyuan Mountain are still hidden underground, and no one cares about it now. Wait until Miss Ci reaches Core Formation.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ruan Ci didn't want True Person Wang to handle it like this, pouted her lips, and the anger really couldn't be dissipated, and she said nitpickingly, \"Why do you have to talk to the Sect Master? It's just a waste of benefits.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was just still arguing, Tianlu couldn't help laughing, \"Miss Ci still says the True Person is stingy, but she is clearly in the same vein as the True Person, a natural master and disciple, and is also stingy—ah!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He screamed, fled out of the room, his figure turned into lightning, rushing left and right in the air. Ruan Ci drove the escape light and chased behind, shouting, \"Tianlu, don't run! Dare to say I'm stingy? I must catch your little buns and pull them all off!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In Zixu Heaven, the sky is high and the sea is wide, and it is all True Person Wang's own territory. Ruan Ci is his beloved disciple, where can she not go? Not to mention this spiritual deer favored by Tianlu. Compared with the step-by-step danger of the outside world, Zixu Heaven is like their back garden, naturally playing to their heart's content, chasing each other between the beautiful mountains and rivers, without any worries. In the end, Tianlu couldn't stand being chased, and bargained with Ruan Ci while fleeing, finally paying the painful price of having two small hair buns pinched three times by Ruan Ci, and then this case was written off. The two lay on the clouds and whispered, and Tianlu begged Ruan Ci again. \"Miss Ci, don't pinch too hard.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He blushed and said, \"These two hair buns are transformed by my double horns, so I don't like being touched by others.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ruan Ci is not a truly tricky person. Hearing this, she pinched it lightly three times and laughed, \"Alright, look, I'm not as stingy as Master.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A wind suddenly rose in the air, blowing the auspicious clouds she was riding away for a hundred feet. Tianlu hurriedly jumped from his own cloud to Ruan Ci's cloud, and whispered in her ear, \"Since you know the True Person is stingy, don't say it anymore!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He added, \"The True Person asked the Sect Master to come forward, which is also no way. Zixu Heaven has few disciples, and the True Person doesn't want to take any more disciples. Taking Miss Ci is already an exception. It's not like the Seven Stars Small Building and the Changyao Baoguang Heaven, which have at least several Nascent Souls in the Cave Heaven. We can only wait for Young Master Ning and Miss Ci to take disciples and teach in the future to enrich our Zixu Heaven's manpower.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ruan Ci had just reached Foundation Establishment, and was even more involved in the game of several Dao Ancestors. She had no interest in taking disciples at all. Hearing this, she said without consideration, \"That depends on Senior Brother and Fengyu.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking of Lu Huangning and Qin Fengyu, she already knew their real names, and couldn't help but remember that she and True Person Wang had an agreement that she would get the Hengze Jade Dew and could hear Master's real name. It was just that she had a inexplicable temper, and this opportunity was missed, and she didn't know when she would be able to satisfy her curiosity. For some reason, she was a little unhappy again, pulled a few wisps of clouds from the auspicious clouds, played with them on her fingertips for a while, blew them away with a puff, supported her chin and lay on the clouds, lost in thought, and didn't know what she was thinking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tianlu observed her expression, and didn't know who gave him the point, suddenly a flash of inspiration, leaned into Ruan Ci's ear and asked, \"Hey, Miss Ci, do you want to know the True Person's name?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ruan Ci lazily squinted at him and said, \"Who told you again? Humph!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tianlu laughed, \"This is not a secret. The True Person cultivates the 'Taishang Response Chapter', and his real name has been circulating without hindrance. He didn't tell you at the time, but just to give Miss Ci an incentive. Since Miss Ci got the Jade Dew, it should have been told according to the agreement. The True Person didn't say it, it's the True Person's fault—ouch!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His figure sank, Ruan Ci hurriedly pulled him, and injected spiritual energy into the cloud head to make it float steadily—just now she said True Person Wang was stingy, which was so casual, now True Person Wang was really stingy, she didn't dare to continue to provoke, and turned to blame Tianlu, \"The True Person has no fault, it's just that I left early. Besides, there is no wrong master in the world, the True Person is always right.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tianlu was tortured by the master and disciple until he was not a human inside and out, his big eyes were full of tears, looking at Ruan Ci with blame, but he didn't dare to refute, and said aggrievedly, \"Not bad, it's Tianlu's slip of the tongue, the True Person is always right.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He paused, leaned close to Ruan Ci's ear, and whispered, \"Then I will tell Miss Ci the True Person's name?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ruan Ci nodded, leaned closer, Tianlu acted like a thief, and whispered in her ear, \"The True Person's name is—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His crisp boyish voice suddenly changed, becoming True Person Wang's familiar cold tone, and entered Ruan Ci's ears, \"Wang Shengyu. Rebellious disciple, since you said you were cultivating, why don't you work hard and chew your tongue here?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This shock was no small matter. Ruan Ci and Tianlu both screamed, fell from the cloud, and stood firm in the air after a while. You look at me, I look at you, but they didn't dare to say another word, and fled separately in a gray manner. Ruan Ci returned to the room, still terrified, pressed her chest and eased for a long time, then eased her embarrassment, pouted and thought, \"I didn't really say anything rebellious, forget it, forget it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She wanted to cultivate, but felt her emotions fluctuating, and it was not the time. She turned the three words Wang Shengyu over and over, read them several times, and couldn't help but be curious, went to check the \"Heaven Boat Crossing\", and found that Shengyu was a legendary strange bird, with a sound like a deer, and was born to be able to control water power. She nodded secretly, thinking, \"Shengyu, Yanhuan, Master's relatives seem to be bird names.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She also had a sudden whim, wondering if anyone in the Wang family was named Peng or Ying. If so, how should the name be elegant? She thought secretly for a while, couldn't help but laugh several times, and finally felt satisfied. That little idle anger disappeared without a trace, so she called the spiritual maid to give a few instructions, and sent a message to Zhuiyue Cliff, ordering He Tong and others to follow Wang Panpan's command, cultivate well, and if any friends come to visit, send a message in time, etc.—Wang Panpan never liked Zixu Heaven, and after talking to her a few times, she went to live in Zhuiyue Cliff.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everything was arranged, she sat on the meditation cushion, pinched her fingers to operate the mental method, and as soon as she used her mind to operate the method, her heart was startled—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This... when did this change start?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Updated, sorry for the long wait. I'll send out red envelopes for this chapter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Well~ after so long, the True Person's name finally came out. I quite like this name, heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I haven't read much lately because the S-match has started, so I'm watching the game. I had dried mustard greens and fish-cooked taro for lunch today. This dish feels very Fujian-style. I haven't seen people from other provinces eat it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then I'm going to eat!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>.
