In the early morning, a gentle sunshine came from the open window. On the not very s.p.a.cious bed of the simple and crude bedroom, two people were tightly hugging each other. Silver hair and black hair were twined together, the scene looks incomparably warm and harmonious.
Feathers {?} gently blinked, Huo Zaiyuan opened his eyes, in front of him there was a handsome face, his mouth couldn"t help but get nearer and a soft kiss landed on those tight smooth lips.
"Awake?" Long Zhanye"s eyes didn"t even open, he softly gnawed Huo Zaiyuan"s red lips. Hugging his slim waist, he turned his body over so that Huo Zaiyuan was lying on his body.
"En" leaning on Long Zhanye"s chest, listening to his steady heartbeats, Huo Zaiyuan slightly smiled.
The two people didn"t speak anymore, quietly enjoying this early morning"s tranquility. Suddenly, a knock came through the bedroom"s outside door, a sharp and clear voice said: "Junior Huo, did you get up?"
Clearly Huo Zaiyuan never thought that someone would come to shout him if he has gotten up, he instantly stood up like a cat with exploding fur: "È…! Got… got up!" on one side he was talking, on the other side he was pushing the excellent moving not moving Long Zhanye, still lying on the bed. When he saw that the tall and thin figure slowly disappeared from the bed, he finally went to open the door.
"Junior Huo" outside the door stood a youngster wearing a gray robe, strong features, upright and foursquare face. Looking at Huo Zaiyuan, in his eyes surfaced a glint of suspiciousness: "Yesterday"s bedroom switch… did you sleep well?"
"En, not bad. Senior Lu {another chinese character again}, did you look for me for something?" Huo Zaiyuan showed a query expression.
"È… almost forgot!, senior teacher said that now we are already Taoist basic disciples, some days later he will teach us the art of making Pills of Immortality, and stated that the fully deserving first choice on teaching us the art of making Pills of Immortality in the Cultivation Boundary, is the Spiritual Red Jade. So after three days, Spiritual Red Jade"s elder Jin Dan will conduct a lecture on how to concoct Pills of Immortality! For this reason, senior teacher sent me, junior Huo, senior Xu and junior Gu {four people} to follow senior Dan Xia and together leave for Spiritual Red Jade! Tomorrow midday we will a.s.semble at the Crane {bird} platform!!" the more senior Lu spoke, the more excited he became: "Junior Huo…! We have been here for ten years, this is the first time we are going to leave the Taoist Sect, therefore I am feeling very excited… and plus, senior Dan Xia said that, if we return earlier, then he will let us stroll in the market!"
Huo Zaiyuan listened the other one"s pitter-patter for a while, and finally knew what the report was about. His gong ti was peculiar, his level of advancement when practicing, in comparison to other contemporary disciples", was extremely quick. Although when practicing he would use Cinnabar medicine, but he didn"t know the art of making Immortality Pills. The Spiritual Gra.s.ses that he has excavated ten years ago in the Ferocious Beast Forest with Long Zhanye and of which have been planted in the s.p.a.ce"s fields… who knows how much they have aged. Hearing that they would begin to learn the art of making Pills of Immortality, Huo Zaiyuan"s heart couldn"t help but be moved. If the Spiritual Gra.s.ses in the s.p.a.ce could act as aid on refining the Cinnabar medicine, then his advancement speed would be even more fast/quick…
The meta infancy {oh! This must be the condition that Huo Zaiyuan is having now!}
All he had to do was to recollect all his past memories. Although every time Long Zhanye would talk about their past, but his eyes revealed tenderness and his {Huo Zaiyuan} heart would always feel jealous. But he equally wanted to recall those forgotten memories, all the past memories of him and Long Zhanye…
"Understood. Senior Lu, thanks for coming here and telling me those news, I will carefully go to prepare things" Huo Zaiyuan showed a brilliant smile: "Go and take a rest, let"s meet tomorrow at noon" finished speaking, he unhurriedly closed the door.
Suddenly, behind his body appeared a hand, it embraced Huo Zaiyuan and a low and magnetic voice came out: "Darling, towards other people your smile is very splendid, I am feeling jealous!" he then softly kissed on Huo Zaiyuan"s nape.
Numbness spread all over his body, making Huo Zaiyuan tremble. He turned his face to glance at the person behind him, and then got closer: "What the heck are you thinking? Did you hear the matter just now, tomorrow I have to leave the Taoist Sect for Spiritual Red Jade, do you want to come or not?" Right now his cultivation level was low, in no way he could tell how impressive Long Zhanye was… however, in those ten years, he {Long Zhanye} has freely entered and left the Taoist Sect like a cloudlike master, so he has never been discovered… enough to show that his cultivation level was extremely high… en, and he also heard that the past him was super amazing and that Long Zhanye was more amazing than the past him… then, didn"t it mean that Long Zhanye was much stronger than the Taoist Sect"s chief!? Aiya, thinking in such a way, he felt that liking this person was extremely extraordinary!
Seeing that Huo Zaiyuan"s smile was even more brilliant, Long Zhanye raised his eyebrows, his handsome face got nearer and then he slowly said: "Little fool, who are you thinking of? Laughing to you heart"s content"
"I am thinking of you" his without the slightest hesitation answer pleased Long Zhanye"s dragon heart a lot, he resolutely gave him a kiss.
Long Zhanye still stayed in Huo Zaiyuan"s bedroom for a night, but on the second day he didn"t wait for Huo Zaiyuan to wake up and already left. After Huo Zaiyuan woke up he touched the slightly cold place beside him, he felt a little bit gloomy. This was the first that Long Zhanye has left before he has woken up… leaving so urgently, could it be that there was something?
"Heng, he went away without saying anything… next time he comes, see how I will deal with you!" on one hand Huo Zaiyuan grumbled, on the other hand he started to pack things for the gathering.
The Taoist Temple was on the peak of a bottomless Jade Void. The means used to enter or to leave the Taoist Temple was riding the huge Spiritual Cranes raised by the Taoist Temple. Obviously if a cultivator"s level was high enough to have their own flying tools or flying Spiritual Beasts, they could ride the flying tools or flying Spiritual Beasts to climb over the Jade Void edge.
Huo Zaiyuan didn"t arrive that early, when he arrived at the Crane platform, besides senior Dan Xia who reached here first and was going to guide them to Spiritual Red Jade, there was another pretty and delicate youngster with a fair complexion. This youngster"s name was Xu Ruoming, he entered in the Taoist Sect in the same period as Huo Zaiyuan, and among the contemporary disciples, his performance has been very remarkable, but he has never showed a good face towards Huo Zaiyuan. Huo Zaiyuan has always been an easygoing person, and the relationships between junior and senior brothers were very good, but he didn"t know why but it seemed as if with Xu Ruoming they found each other disagreeable. Xu Ruoming didn"t show him a good face, and he didn"t like to chat with Xu Ruoming.
In the course of the time, between the fellow disciples appeared a strange phenomenon: Xu Ruoming and him seemed to have divided into two factions, those two factions would always fight openly and maneuver covertly. They normally helped the seniors and gave compliments to people. Furthermore, which reward they got by doing daily homework a.s.signed by teachers, who was ranking the fastest, who was even better in the matches to compare notes… everything was contented. Huo Zaiyuan was helpless, always feeling that he has been inexplicably pulled in this vicious circle.
"Greetings, senior Dan Xia" towards senior Dan Xia, Huo Zaiyuan gave an extremely polite greeting. Looking at the one who wouldn"t show face and neither look at himself of Xu Ruoming, it was directly neglecting the other person. Anyway, they have been "bad friends" for a long time already, between fellow apprentices, this wasn"t a secret anymore, plus, he didn"t want to use his hot face to stand before the other one"s cold b.u.t.tocks.
"En, h.e.l.lo, little junior brother" senior Dan Xia smiled: "Yesterday I didn"t see you, so I sent junior Lu to inform you. About the details, does junior brother know them?"
"En, yes. Thanks senior brother for your concern"
"Senior Dan Xia, it hasn"t been easy for junior Huo to pa.s.s the Taoist basic disciple test. Yesterday"s bedroom a.s.signment, he must have been rested well, look how junior Huo is so full of vigor today" Xu Ruoming said from the side.
By listening it plainly, they seemed just some weak remarks, but through Huo Zaiyuan"s ears, what he heard were weird and mocking hints, this made him feel incomparably low.
The newly arrived disciples had to pa.s.s the test before becoming basic disciples, and the disciples who didn"t pa.s.s the test must abandon the Taoist Sect and from that moment on, they could be regarded as ordinary people or they could continue cultivating a scattered cultivation, it was their choice. Huo Zaiyuan has pa.s.sed the test, and naturally Xu Ruoming pa.s.sed the test too, it was just that the test results hadn"t been announced yet. And the seniors said that this time the basic disciple test was quite difficult, plus Huo Zaiyuan and Xu Ruoming"s basic disciple test results were excellent in all the categories, so it was understandable that when Xu Ruoming saw him just now, he didn"t show him a good face at all.
"That"s only natural. Senior and junior brothers have been sleeping and eating together for ten years, suddenly getting a single bedroom, it certainly feels new. Senior Xu, don"t you also look happy and healthy?" Huo Zaiyuan showed a smiley expression. Ze, his small face really made him feel uneasy/uncomfortable, who the h.e.l.l was he messing with.
"Heng" Xu Ruoming hummed coldly, his face was very unsightly: "You…"
When Xu Ruoming was in the moment of saying something, a clear and sharp sound could be heard, interrupting his {Xu Ruoming} speech. Senior Lu ran towards them, with a brilliant face: "Junior Huo, you came early!"
"Greetings, senior Lu" Huo Zaiyuan softly smiled. Concerning this good-natured cheerful senior brother, in his heart he liked him quite a lot.
"Greetings, junior Huo" a lukewarm voice sounded out, a very thin figure appeared behind senior Lu, this person looked at Huo Zaiyuan and then he smiled with craftiness.
