While Su Ru was talking, she had already put down the oil lamp and quickly took out the food.

One vegetarian, one meat, one soup, one meal.

It is worth mentioning that although Qingyun Sect is an authentic Taoist sect, not all the disciples of the sect have become monks. There are no regulations prohibiting meat and marriage in the sect rules.

It’s just that when you are in the Taoist sect, big fish and big meat are a taboo thing after all. Therefore, the “one meat” placed on the table is just a small meat dish.

Speaking of which, this eating habit once made He Xu, who was not happy with meat, feel uncomfortable at first. But now he is so hungry that these simple dishes are like delicacies in his mouth. So he can't help but swallow them voraciously.

"Eat slowly, you kid..." Su Ru looked at He Xu's appearance and couldn't help but say anger. After saying that, her face looked gentle again, "You have been in seclusion and practiced hard these days, and your master and I are quite pleased. It's just that the way of cultivation is to focus on one's tension and relaxation. When you have just recovered from a serious illness, you should still take your health as your requirement. Have you remembered it?"

"Disciple has written down..." He Xu responded as he snatched the meal.

When Su Ru saw her, she smiled. She might be in a good mood tonight. Looking at He Xu's greedy appearance, she would say a few words from time to time, and occasionally say something about "his" when she was a child.

It was only now that He Xu realized that the "he" back then was actually taken up the mountain by Su Ru.

"...You went up the mountain when you were ten years old and you were nine years old. Everyone can see the talent of early wisdom. Over the years, your master and I have had deep expectations for you. I thought that defeat by Xiao Yicai this time would have a great impact on your desire to practice Taoism. But now seeing you brave and diligent, my master's heart finally let go. Xu'er, you have good qualifications and high-level understanding. You are just a tough heart and a tough heart, and you will definitely surpass Xiao Yicai in the future. Therefore, you must not be discouraged because of a temporary loss. Do you understand?"

He Xu listened quietly, although Su Ru said "Give up" on her mouth; he still heard a vague worry from the second half of the sentence she unconsciously revealed. Otherwise, she would not have added a sentence, "Don't be discouraged because of a temporary loss."

He Xu felt funny secretly and said to himself: Why are you discouraged? My buddy is now full of fighting spirit.

But deep down, he was still secretly moved by Su Ru's words. It is worth mentioning that Su Ru's name for him was not "Dazhi" or "Lao Si", but rather his... "Xu'er" derived from his real name...

Although this title is ordinary, the hidden meaning of intimacy and alienation can only be hidden from He Xu's exquisite ears and ears. So while feeling quite warm, he also responded obediently: "Disciple understands."

But even he himself did not realize that before he knew this meal, his original discomfort with Su Ru's identity as "master's wife" had suddenly disappeared. What was left was a faint admiration and deep affection.

The days that followed were spent day by day, repeated and boring practice.

In fact, in a sense, his current life is similar to when he was in the army in his previous life.

In the past, I usually trained and occasionally took out tasks during training. After completing the tasks, I came back to continue training. The only days of the year that I felt like I had a bright future were nothing more than the days when I went home during the annual holiday.

But now life is simpler than before... Just two words: hard practice!

Speaking of which, what makes He Xu feel quite funny is that when outsiders hear the news that "XXXX will go into seclusion and practice hard again", they will always subconsciously feel envy: Ah, he is in seclusion again?!

It seems that I am full of yearning for things like "retreat".

However, those who truly experience this kind of life will say: This kind of life...well, it is very fulfilling! But his mother is not a human being.

Fortunately, I had military experience in my previous life, so this kind of life was not too difficult for him.

As for going home to visit relatives, He Xu never thought about it.

It is worth mentioning that the ex's family is quite wealthy and the family is also very happy.

All his parents are there, and his fellow siblings are also his generation.

Therefore, the ex-girl brought back to Qingyun by Su Ru not only did not make the family feel sad, but instead became a great joy that everyone knows from all over the country.

After all, the great reputation accumulated by Qingyun Sect over thousands of years is beyond the imagination of ordinary people. If you climb to Qingyun, you will have no difference from climbing to the immortal gate in the eyes of ordinary people.

In theory, with this background, it is quite decent whether it is family going up the mountain to visit relatives or returning home in glory. Unfortunately, my ex's hometown is very far away from Qingyun Mountain. After He Dazhi went up the mountain, he only went home the year before.

It seems that his sister has been engaged... It's probably married now; the younger brother is studying hard, hoping to pass the provincial examination; as for his parents' health, they are also very good... He's father is even stronger, making He's mother pregnant with her fourth child...

Of course, these are all things that He Xu learned after reading his ex's memories.

While this made him feel relieved, a hint of regret surged in his heart: Dad, mom... are you okay?

Thinking of this, He Xu couldn't help but feel: Cultivation of truth certainly makes people put on the wings of pursuing immortality; but in the process of pursuing, they actually lost a lot of them unknowingly...

But his heart did not feel depressed because of this; instead, it became inexplicably hot!

Since you have lost so much, you must capture the pursuit goal! Otherwise, why are you working hard now?

But even he didn't expect that this idea would make his heart of Tao become unprecedentedly firm.

So, on this moon-like night, on a hill on Dazhu Peak... a man included a task called "Eternal Life" for the first time in his life planning!

———————

Time flies, and ten years pass.

Ten years have left no trace on He Xu's face.

Still bright eyes, still handsome appearance... The only change is the elegance and maturity that appear after calmness and accumulation.

In ten years, He Xu had successfully cultivated Tai Chi Xuanqing Dao to the fourth level. In the past twenty-two years, he went from a mortal to the fourth level of Yuqing. Such achievements can be listed among nearly a thousand Qingyun disciples.

But no one knew that He Xu had easily reached the "escape" realm as early as the second year after the time travel. If we talk about this, then his level can be improved one level.

However, after breaking through the third level, he did not rush down the mountain to find a handy magic weapon like other fellow disciples. Instead, he practiced the first three central methods of the Yuqing Realm countless times from beginning to end.

Until the process of "inducing qi", the meridians could no longer be expanded; when "transforming qi", the convergence of the essence and energy could no longer be improved; even the refined "vital energy" could no longer be compressed, and he stopped from the regret that he finally "was still unfulfilled".

It can be said that the entire Qingyun Mountains and even the disciples of Qingyun Sect from all generations can consolidate their foundation to this level under the premise of the same qualifications and equal realm... There have never been more than five in thousands of years!

If He Xu had not had twice as much mental power as ordinary people, his mind and nature were extremely tenacious. I think he would definitely not be able to do this level.
Chapter completed!
