Seeing her master covered in icicles, with a wolf carcass slung over his back, she was so frightened that she tumbled off the dog’s back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The little girl hurriedly tidied her clothes, the smile on her face disappearing instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Woo—\" Yuanyuan whimpered, baring its teeth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The harmonious scene was suddenly disrupted by her presence...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The former self was truly loathed by both man and beast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ye was mocking himself when he suddenly noticed that Yuanyuan’s ear was losing fur from being pulled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He frowned: \"Qing Jun, don’t be so rough when playing with Yuanyuan. It’s not good to provoke it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hadn’t realized, his little apprentice, so small, could have such a heavy hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Qing Jun understands...\" The little girl weakly murmured, pinching her clothes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing his apprentice’s timid appearance, Chen Ye suspected he was being paranoid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This child probably doesn’t have the courage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps Yuanyuan is just shedding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He dragged the gray wolf he carried on his back inside, its frozen skull wound seeped blood again when warmed by the fire, leaving a dark red trail on the floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Did you just go hunting wolves in the Three Thousand Great Mountains?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Granny Li, hearing the commotion, walked out from the back kitchen with tongs in hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old woman looked surprised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Did this drunkard really have the guts to hunt in the Three Thousand Great Mountains?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ye put down the wolf carcass: \"Thanks to granny’s care these past days, this wolf isn’t worth much, just a small token of gratitude. We’ll head back with the kids later.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The wolf carcass was too cumbersome, and although his Heavy Body Technique was at Minor Achievement, he couldn’t carry it for long.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Might as well go along with it and earn some goodwill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Granny Li’s cloudy eyes kept scrutinizing Chen Ye: \"Is this rascal really turning over a new leaf?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She poked her tongs into the wolf’s jaw, revealing its sharp white teeth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was a common gray wind wolf in the Three Thousand Great Mountains, a whole one could sell for fifty Spiritual Sand in the Market.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old woman turned around and pulled out two gray, hardened lumps of material from the depths of a rattan basket, a layer of silver frost forming on the hardened fur in the firelight,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Skin peeled last year, the stitches are rough, but it’s better than cloth! Wrap it around the girls, no need to pay!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ye saw that it was a rabbit fur coat and scarf.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Probably made by Granny Li herself; she usually tanned animal skins and made clothes to earn a little Spiritual Sand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ye’s face lit up with joy, and after thanking her, he hurriedly wrapped his apprentices, tying the scarf snugly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, the two little girls were bundled into puffy balls, with only their bright eyes peeking out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their cuteness nearly melted Chen Ye’s heart, and he couldn’t help but pinch Qing Jun’s little nose:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Say goodbye to granny.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qing Jun pouted her tiny mouth hidden in the scarf, and chirped: \"Goodbye, granny!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhiwei didn’t hesitate and followed suit: \"Goodbye, granny.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old woman couldn’t help but show a smile, repeatedly saying yes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even her gaze at Chen Ye became gentler.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Giving her the wolf carcass earlier, she hadn’t shown such a soft gaze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three of them had just stepped outside,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>when the north wind swept in with snowflakes, instantly swallowing their outlines.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The snow on the road reached their ankles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All he could see was the swirling heavy snow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ye had the two apprentices walk ahead to avoid them getting lost.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The white breath he exhaled condensed on his stubble, quickly forming fine ice crystals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was the winter in this land always so harsh?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ye clicked his tongue in secret.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In his predecessor’s vague memories, it seemed the winters had become increasingly difficult these past few years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The journey wasn’t long.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, a corner of the dilapidated house peeked through the snow curtain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not only Chen Ye, but even the two little girls quickened their pace involuntarily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This house, which had brought them so much torment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, it was the only sanctuary from the wind and snow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Chen Ye’s neighbor next door, the door was wide open, the house empty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These days, he hadn’t seen any sign of Taoist Zhang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Could that old man have fled to escape punishment...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ye muttered, with Geng Metal Qi swirling at his fingertips.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ding!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Proficiency increased by one!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His mood improved a bit, amusing himself by mentally adding sound effects to the panel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Spirit Medicine Ointment was worth a few Spirit Stones, but it was just a small amount, losing it was no big deal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, his apprentice hadn’t been in the house at the time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The most important thing was that everyone was safe!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At home, unlike Granny Li’s house, there was no stove, and it felt even colder inside than outside upon entering.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ye repeated his old trick, digging a pit in the center of the room, reigniting a pile of firewood, and the blazing fire instantly dispelled the chill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qing Jun curled up on a bench, her wet cloth shoes placed by the firepit to dry, wisps of white steam rising from them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The rabbit fur coat was laid over her lap,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She comfortably crossed her little feet, thoroughly enjoying herself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ye couldn’t help but glance at his little disciple’s feet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her feet were not coarse at all, just overly thin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this phenomenon was strange.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qing Jun had worn tattered straw sandals before and usually didn’t get enough nutrition.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How could her skin be so well-grown?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The little girl quickly glanced at her master, a bit nervous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Chen Ye turned his gaze to Zhiwei.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Zhiwei’s appearance was quite normal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The older girl wasn’t as open as Qing Jun, sitting silently by the fire, warming her hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her hands were slightly rough, and her fingertips were cracked from long-term Fire Stone selection.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were also chilblains on her ears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Despite looking miserable like this, she was actually the disciple with a special physique.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bearing the ancient Immortal Body — the Purity Glaze Body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Purity Glaze Body was extremely special, said to have transformed from the World-purifying Cyan Lotus at the beginning of chaos.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It gradually causes the loss of all emotions and desires until all humanity fades away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But at the same time, it sheds the mortal shell, becoming extraordinary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every time a layer of the mortal shell is shed, one must endure the bitterness of hate encounters, love partings, unfulfilled desires, and encountering the undesirable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once all emotional tribulations are overcome, one can sever worldly ties and ascend to the immortal realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By then, black hair like ink and eyes like cold pools, untouched by any worldly causes and effects.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These four sufferings faintly corresponded to Lu Zhiwei’s storyline in the game.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hate encounters, being forced to associate with those one detests.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No need to say, this refers to Zhiwei and her past self.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Love partings, separating from loved ones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This should correspond to the original storyline where Zhiwei was forced to separate from Qing Jun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the unfulfilled desires and encountering the undesirable after that, they were not reflected in the storyline.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Strange... did I miss something in the plot?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Zhiwei, take off your shoes, wearing wet shoes is uncomfortable.\" Chen Ye stopped his thoughts, suddenly speaking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The furry little ball quickly drew back her foot as if electrocuted, her thin ankle appearing pale blue in the firelight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even frozen like this, her voice remained calm: \"No need.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Indeed, it’s uncomfortable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But she actually liked it this way...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only when these discomforts appeared could she feel her own existence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Zhiwei profoundly disliked Chen Ye’s tenderness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was clearly numb to the point of losing feeling in life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, he still pretended to be compassionate...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You child.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ye was helpless, this child had never been normal since childhood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maybe Zhiwei still didn’t understand, but the Purity Glaze Body was gradually causing her to lose emotions like a normal person.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the game’s plot, this future Divine Maiden often ascended the Immortal Slaying Platform, voluntarily enduring the agonizing pain of lightning strikes and bone peeling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She once frankly stated that these pains were not even a fraction of what she endured under her past self in childhood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Chen Ye thought it was simply because her Purity Glaze Body awakened, detaching from the mortal shell, that she couldn’t feel the pain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now with him here, why let Zhiwei endure these pains for nothing?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Currently, Zhiwei’s physique hadn’t awakened at all; she, like any ordinary child, felt pain and hunger...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ye pulled out a piece of coarse cloth from a newly bought storage cabinet,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>and without further ado, stepped forward to grab Zhiwei’s little foot, helping her take off the cloth shoes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Appearing before Chen Ye’s eyes was a pair of pale, thin feet, cold as ice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ye grunted: \"Already like this, still not warming your feet?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amid the sound of cloth rubbing, the older girl’s eyelashes below her forehead trembled violently like a startled butterfly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She dumbly watched as Chen Ye wiped her feet for her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ye, actually helping her wash her feet?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially after seeing Chen Ye bring another basin of hot water, seriously washing them for her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The older girl’s pale face showed some discomfort.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feeling uneasy about her master’s tenderness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She bit her lip: \"Master, Zhiwei can do it herself.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmph, didn’t you say no need before? Now that you’re regretting, it’s too late!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ye casually infused spiritual power into the disciple, promoting blood circulation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhiwei’s feet were so pale, like a corpse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At least Qing Jun’s soles had a slight flesh pink, but hers were pale blue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, as they were kneaded, blood circulation improved, and they gained a bit of healthy redness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He blew warm air and rubbed those five icy toes: \"Zhiwei’s toes are almost frozen into little carrots.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhiwei tightly clenched her coat corner, silently turning her head away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Master, becoming more and more excessive!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmm, washed nice and fragrant. Feels comfortable, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ye held his disciple’s little foot, feeling a sense of accomplishment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pulled out a pair of furry slippers, personally helping the elder disciple put them on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Master, Qing Jun also wants her feet washed...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The little disciple looked enviously, washing feet seemed quite comfortable?\u003C\u002Fp>",1810,"2026-06-06T06:08:58.734Z",1,"novelbin.me","6f84634de1af8284310086c95df11b97d92032ffab10ed87234d4bb03781819b","longevity-begins-from-raising-disciples-chapter-25","longevity-begins-from-raising-disciples-chapter-23",686,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Flongevity-begins-from-raising-disciples-cover.jpg"]
