Even breaking the core to form the Nascent Soul depends on each person's technique, and many pass the Nascent Soul pass silently. After all, in this universe, cultivators experience countless difficulties and obstacles every day, and no amount of seclusion can achieve the upper realm. If there is another heavenly tribulation, it seems that the way of heaven is too harsh. Therefore, like Ruan Ci, who reached Foundation Establishment in Zixu Heaven, outsiders have no way of knowing, that is, the sect has its own secret method to explore the progress of disciples' cultivation. Ruan Ci came out of Zixu Heaven and sent He Tong to ask at Zhonglv Peak. Sure enough, she learned that Ruan Rong had already come here to register a few months ago. After Foundation Establishment, she was officially accepted into the sect by the Sect Master and became an inner disciple of the Seven Stars Small Building lineage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Ruan Ci was accepted into the sect by True Person Wang, Zixu Heaven also opened a few tables of banquets, and many Cave Heavens in the sect gave face and sent people to congratulate, but the gifts were collected by True Person Wang. Ruan Ci asked Tianlu, and Tianlu said, \"The Seven Stars Small Building didn't have such a layout. They have many disciples in that lineage. If they open a table for one, the Sect Master will inevitably be edited as greedy.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were sitting at Zhuiyue Cliff talking at this time, Ruan Ci was still bolder, and thought in her heart, \"Doesn't this mean that Master opening a banquet is to collect gifts, very greedy...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But after thinking about it, she didn't say it out loud, frowned and said, \"Cousin is a sword envoy after all, how can she be ordinary? About there are other concerns. Forget it, He Tong, you go to the Seven Stars Small Building to send a post, saying that the disciples from South Zhuzhou will gather at Zhuiyue Cliff within the month, and ask Cousin if she has time and can go out.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He Tong promised and went in a hurry, and came back saying, \"Ruan Niangzi replied that she can gather, and asked the little one many questions.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although the sisters entered the sect together, they didn't recognize each other thirty years ago, and didn't say a word, didn't dare to look at each other, thirty years later they can finally communicate with each other, which is also the reason why both sides are diligent in cultivation. As long as one person's pace is slow, the meeting is still far away. Ruan Ci's heart was surging, and she forced a smile, \"What did Cousin ask? Nothing more than whether I am good.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He Tong lowered his head and said, \"Exactly, Ruan Niangzi asked if the master was favored under the Zixu Heaven, if the daily cultivation was smooth, and many others, nothing more than this meaning.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The feeling of pitying her sister is deeply felt. Ruan Ci felt sour in her nose and said to Wang Panpan, \"Rong Jie has also experienced many things, and is much more realistic than before.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before she finished speaking, she almost shed tears, and hurriedly endured it. She didn't want to be peeped at by others in the Shangqing Sect about the relationship between her and Ruan Rong. After all, she was involved in the East Flower Sword, and if she was not careful, there would be right and wrong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since Ruan Rong was coming, Ruan Ci naturally tried her best to arrange the banquet. Although she hoped that her sister would know that everything was fine with her in the sect, she didn't dare to be too extravagant. She pondered these things for days, and soon it was the appointed day. Lin Xianen brought seven or eight brothers and sisters, walked into Zhuiyue Cliff together, introduced each other, and communicated their names. These disciples were all from South Zhuzhou, and their defense against real names was very lax, and their style was very different from the outside of the Shangqing Sect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were more than ten disciples who entered the sect from South Zhuzhou in the past, but in these thirty years, five or six were inevitably lost. Everyone chatted while drinking tea, and said one by one, one was attacked in the wild forest of Zijing Mountain and was chewed by the raised spirit beast on the spot, and the others were all looking for Foundation Establishment external medicine, and they didn't come back after going out. Once the life incense left in the sect was extinguished, it meant that there was no life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Outside the cave dwelling of Zijing Mountain is a dangerous place, which everyone knew early on. The disciple dared to be so bold, and no one came out to stand up for being chewed by the spirit beast, and death was death. The others were not without people who were valued by upper-realm cultivators. Once they opened their meridians, they would be accepted into the inner sect, but they were also very high-spirited, only willing to earn Foundation Establishment external medicine with their own skills, but were not willing to accept the bestowal of teachers, or the introduction of servants, or the lending of forces from the nine countries, but they didn't dare to spend it indiscriminately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ruan Ci couldn't help but sigh, \"What kind of place is the Central Continent like our South Zhuzhou? Without Foundation Establishment cultivation, don't mention going out. It is thousands of dangers to go out to experience after Foundation Establishment, and those few are finally arrogant.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone agreed deeply, Lin Xianen sighed, \"Foolish sister is very careful on weekdays. Hearing from my maidservant, there are very few peddlers in the caravan trading to the nine countries who are below Foundation Establishment, so I know that below Foundation Establishment, it is really difficult to walk outside, so I have advised, but there is no notice outside, they don't believe it, and there is no way.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She has succeeded in Foundation Establishment for several years, cast an eight-layer high platform, and spent a lot of time expanding the Jade Pool, which can be considered not in vain. The Changyao Baoguang Heaven is very concerned about her, just waiting for Zhou Yanqing to leave seclusion to be officially included in the sect. Among the disciples of South Zhuzhou, her achievements are only worse than the two Ruan sisters. The others are either at the perfection of Qi Refining, just waiting for the opportunity of external medicine, or after Foundation Establishment, they are cast into the sect of a Nascent Soul True Person who has no foundation, or two or three are preparing to serve as managers in the outer sect although they have Foundation Establishment, which is also the final destination of many disciples of the Shangqing Sect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Outer sect disciples actually have many who achieve Core Formation, and even fight for Nascent Soul. It seems that the future of both sides is not much different, but only those who are accepted as inner disciples by Cave Heaven True Persons like Ruan Ci, who serve by their side, know the difference. In the Hengze Heaven trip, outer sect disciples didn't even have the qualifications to participate. The gap in knowledge has determined the different endpoints of the Dao path of both sides. However, looking at it now, the gap between inner and outer sects is not so obvious, so these people's disappointment is not very strong, but they are very enthusiastic about clinging to Ruan Ci. Ruan Ci is also very polite to them, and naturally will not say anything boring. Seeing a junior brother surnamed Chu who was only missing one external medicine for Foundation Establishment and was still raising spiritual jade, and was missing more than a thousand, she took out a Qiankun bag and handed it over, laughing, \"Wait for Junior Brother to succeed in Foundation Establishment, then come back to return it to me. There is a Green Jade Hall not far from Zijing Mountain. I went there to experience it and got more than three thousand spiritual jades. Junior Brother go once, and it will be enough.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She added, \"I want to charge interest, nine out and ten back, Junior Brother don't forget.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone laughed, \"What kind of interest is this? Ci Senior Sister, come with nine out and twenty back!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Between talking and laughing, they were secretly envious of Ruan Ci's generosity. Only most of them had just reached Foundation Establishment, were still stabilizing their realm, and had to handle sect missions first, so they were very tight on hand, and even if they wanted to go out to kill monsters and get treasures, they couldn't.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A group of people were talking lively, He Tong flew in and said, \"Ruan Niangzi is here!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ruan Ci said oh, got up to greet her outside the door, and everyone followed behind. Only then did she see a white cloud falling slowly in front of the courtyard door in the sky. With a creak, the courtyard door opened slightly, and Ruan Rong walked in with a smile, her precious light contained, wearing a green skirt, with the beauty of a country and a city. When they were in the Song Kingdom, the Ruan family often said that the two women were equal in appearance. Now thirty-something years later, Ruan Ci still looks like a bean-card, often revealing greenness, rarely seeing the charm of a daughter, but Ruan Rong has grown into an apricot-eyed, peach-cheeked, charming and lively girl.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone saw it and was stunned. Unconsciously, they bypassed Ruan Ci and asked Ruan Rong for greetings. The attitude was much more enthusiastic than when they hadn't entered the sect. After all, they didn't know Ruan Rong's identity at that time, or didn't know the weight of the East Flower Sword. Even if they didn't say these things, Ruan Rong was accepted into the Seven Stars Small Building, and her future was undoubtedly the best among everyone, even Ruan Ci had to retreat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ruan Ci stood locally, looking at the smile on her sister's face, her heart was already shaking. If it weren't for several experiences, her temper would be much more stable, and she would have jumped into her sister's arms long ago. At this time, after several times of patience, she finally suppressed her feelings, looked left and right, and saw that only Lin Xianen was still standing behind her, couldn't help but smile slightly, and said to Lin Xianen, \"Lin Sister, why don't you come forward?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xianen laughed, \"I am not familiar with Big Ruan Senior Sister. I am very shy. Whoever I am good with first, I am good with.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When she walked around Zhuiyue Cliff and Changyao Baoguang Heaven before, she didn't see shyness. The two looked at each other and smiled. Ruan Ci said, \"It doesn't matter, Rong Jie is a disciple of the Sect Master, her status is naturally noble, let's go and greet her too.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Carrying Lin Xianen, she walked up, caught Ruan Rong, and performed the ceremony, but it was the old etiquette of the Song Kingdom. \"Thirty years have not seen, is Sister well?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ruan Rong was very kind to her, stepped forward to help her up, and also had the demeanor of an elder sister, \"Still well, how has Sister been cultivating in these decades? In the past, I asked Master to entrust you under the Zixu Heaven, and I was also worried in my heart, just afraid that you would be naughty and offend the teacher, which would make it difficult for me to face Master.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone knew that Ruan Ci was accepted into Zixu Heaven, which was actually the wing of the sword envoy, and couldn't help but sigh at Ruan Ci's good luck. Being accepted into Zixu Heaven, her cultivation progress was faster than Ruan Rong's. Some people with a little knowledge whispered, saying that those who reach Foundation Establishment fast may not be good, and so on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ruan Ci was a little embarrassed and said in a low voice, \"I didn't be naughty.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Where did everyone know the bottom line? They were all laughing and joking. While talking, they returned to the room, sat down as guests and hosts, and opened the banquet. Ruan Rong couldn't help but ask about Ruan Ci's cultivation, which was also the style of an elder sister, making people feel convinced, and adding to the intention of clinging.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A meal was eaten with joy, and after the meal, everyone said goodbye interestingly. Ruan Ci didn't keep them much, just said to Lin Xianen, \"Lin Senior Sister, come to find me tomorrow, I have something to say to you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xianen was about to go out to experience, and also had many things to ask Ruan Ci. Hearing this, she smiled knowingly. Ruan Ci also sent everyone to the courtyard, watching the escape lights fly away, returned to the room, and then rushed to Ruan Rong's side and asked, \"Rong Jie, have you suffered in these years?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ruan Rong was recognized as a sword envoy in South Zhuzhou at that time, and many Nascent Soul great powers took action to fight for it. She was a mortal who had not opened her meridians, but she still kept the secret for Ruan Ci and was willing to be a substitute. How can the bitterness of it be exhausted in one word? Being in the same sect, but unable to see Ruan Ci, she was the sword envoy in everyone's eyes. How could there be fewer temptations in these years? Ruan Ci was free and easy, only found trouble by Chi Pengpeng once, so she knew the rest of the movements in the sect, all of which were borne by Ruan Rong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this time, they met again after a long separation, but Ruan Rong didn't mention a word, hugged her sister tightly, and asked with choked sobs, \"Where is my sister? My sister has suffered.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was not asking at all, her words were actually very affirmative. Think about Ruan Rong as a substitute, there were so many setbacks, Ruan Ci as the main envoy, how could there be less grinding?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ruan Ci wanted to say that she was smooth sailing and didn't suffer much, but thought of the pain of refining the East Flower at that time, the pain of tempering the Dao foundation in the Treasure Cloud Sea, and the endless worry and hesitation when she occasionally calculated the future, and this could not be said. Ruan Rong looked at her face, her eyes turned red, hugged Ruan Ci into her arms, and cried, \"My sister has suffered!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ruan Ci also couldn't help crying, thinking of herself, and feeling sorry for her sister who could have been out of the game, but finally entered the game because of her, and didn't know how much bitterness she had eaten. The two sisters hugged and cried, Ruan Ci said intermittently while crying, \"Rong Jie, you don't cry, I don't feel bitter, you cry, I feel uncomfortable in my heart.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is also the truth. She didn't feel how difficult she was, but often felt that she was luckier than others. At this time, Ruan Ci knew that some times it is only when someone feels sorry for you that you feel pain. It is to have a sister like Ruan Rong, who doesn't care about her cultivation progress at all, and only cares about whether she suffers, to know how lonely she was originally.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For some reason, she thought of True Person Wang again, and thought, \"If Master knew I cried, he would definitely satirize and belittle me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She forced herself to stop her tears, handed a handkerchief to Ruan Rong, Ruan Rong also cried enough, gradually stopped her tears, but was a little embarrassed. At this time, she had fully grown into an eighteen or nineteen-year-old girl, slightly revealing shyness, just like a clear lotus after the rain, beautiful and incomparable. She took a cup of spiritual tea and ate a few mouthfuls, wiped her eyes, and said, \"The South Zhuzhou disciples just now, except for Lin Xianen who followed you, are all unbearable to support, you must remember it in your heart.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a bit of an elder sister's taste, just not as deliberate as before. Ruan Ci couldn't help but smile, nodded and said, \"I know, Rong Jie, I am not a fool. Didn't Second Aunt used to be afraid that I would be smarter than you and cover your limelight in the future?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mentioning Second Aunt, her heart was slightly sad again, the two sisters' eyes met, and they both saw what they were thinking: at this time, they were in this fairy palace, calling the wind and rain, flying across the void, the past of the Song Kingdom in South Zhuzhou, naturally thought less and less, like a dream. But these old people, if even they don't remember, who else remembers? Even the last trace is gone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But, the fairy road is long, the past is still warm, three hundred years later, three thousand years later? How long can the painful past that connected the three Ruan children be remembered? If even the origin is lost, the world is vast, where is the destination?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ruan Rong sighed slightly, held Ruan Ci's little hand tightly, and said softly, \"No matter what, you and I are sisters, and there is Qian Ge, the three of us have a long-lasting friendship, take care of each other, the blood relationship will never fade.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Actually, the blood relationship between Ruan Qian and Ruan Rong and Ruan Ci is already very light, and it is even more out of the five clothes with Ruan Ci, but Ruan Ci knows Ruan Rong's meaning, and couldn't help but smile, \"That bag of sweet jade, does Sister still keep it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ruan Rong took out a brocade bag from her arms, took out a piece of spiritual jade, and sent it to Ruan Ci's mouth. Ruan Ci licked it with her tongue, and a sweet taste melted, still the taste of that year.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Updated, sorry for the long wait, I actually slept until just now, hurry up and update, no idle talk today\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>.
