Runes, these are all things that require a lot of attention.

If you don't pay enough attention to protecting your eyes, you can easily become highly myopic.

Of course, as a Taoist monk, there are always ways to solve the problem of myopia.

For example, some natural and earthly treasures have the effect of "brightening eyesight" and can effectively improve eyesight.

Or, permanently fix a spell such as "Bright Eyes" or "Eagle Eye", or use magic weapons and props.

In terms of cost performance, it is definitely more cost-effective to use magical instruments and props.

After all, the number of spells that Taoist monks can permanently fix is ​​limited. Most Taoist monks will choose permanent defensive spells to ensure their own safety. It is impossible to waste a precious permanent spell slot just to improve eyesight.

Shen Lang originally thought that Yan Tianying called him here just for the Gourd Fish Dragon Pill and to introduce him to the senior sister of Wanfamen.

Unexpectedly, Yan Tianying also gave him a task:

"Xiao Shen, your Uncle Chang and Master Liuli stayed in the Yunding Demon Palace for more than a month this time. He was somewhat corroded by the demonic energy. After he came back, he refined this furnace of elixir and immediately retreated to recuperate. Before the retreat, Xiao Ming

Qin went to 'Xianwu Mountain' to pick 'Xianwu Youtan'.

"The Xianwu Mountain is more than two thousand miles north of the capital. It is a natural junction between Mobei and Dachu. Not only are monsters in the mountain, but also Mobei barbarians often come and go. So Xiao Qin used to go to Xianwu Mountain to collect

The medicine was all accompanied by Chu Lu, the second disciple of Wanfa Sect.

"Now, at my request, Xiao Chu is going to help Zhu Captou and the others track down the evil cult. The other disciples of Wanfa Sect are all relatively young. So your uncle Chang ordered me to send someone who can fight to accompany Xiao Qin.

Go to Xianwu Mountain to collect medicine."

Having said this, he sent a message to Shen Lang:

"Xiao Qin is a fourth-level magic cultivator, and her cultivation level is just as strong as Lian Yunxiao's. But she is not good at fighting, and she is at two extremes compared to you. You must protect her well along the way.

"In addition, Master Bailong has gone to Yunding Demon Palace to take turns on duty, and his partner is the killing arhat who was just released. The killing arhat doesn't like Bailong, Qiankun, will definitely keep an eye on him. So for the time being, you

There’s no need to worry about Bailong’s revenge.”

It was obvious that Yan Tianying was relieved to send Shen Lang to escort Qin Qing just because Master Bailong went to Yunding Demon Palace.

Shen Lang promised loudly:

"Master Yan, please rest assured, I will definitely protect senior sister and I will not let her get hurt at all."

However, Qin Qing chuckled:

"Junior Brother Shen is ambitious. However, as the senior sister of Wanfa Sect, the first disciple of Wanfa Zhenren, and a fourth-level cultivator, even if I stand still and let others attack me, there are not many people in the world who can hurt me. This trip

Xianwu Mountain, the reason why I asked you to accompany me is because I don’t like silence and want to find someone to talk to along the way.”

His tone was very confident, and his expression also had the meaning of "My senior sister is profound in Taoism and invincible." Obviously she didn't want to expose her shortcomings in front of Shen Lang and maintain her dignity as "the senior sister of Wanfa Sect".

It's a pity that she didn't know that Yan Tianying had already secretly conveyed the message and revealed all her details.

Of course Shen Lang would not expose her shortcomings and said with a smile:

"That's what Senior Sister said. Then my little brother will be responsible for talking to you, Senior Sister."

The senior sister then smiled charmingly, nodded with satisfaction, and then said goodbye to Yan Tianying.

"Uncle Yan, I'll set off now."

"Okay, be careful on the road."

Qin Qinghao flipped his wrist, and a small green wooden boat appeared out of thin air in his white palm.

This boat is only about a foot long. It is densely covered with Taoist runes, and is made of black gold threads to form a magic circle. It is also inlaid with a white orb at the head and tail.

Qin Qing threw the green wooden boat into the air. The boat swelled in the wind, and in an instant it became about ten feet long. The breeze lingered around it, and it floated in the air one foot above the ground.

After that, Qin Qing lifted up the corner of her skirt, stepped onto the boat lightly, stood at the bow of the boat and waved to the sinking waves:

"Junior Brother Shen, come up."

Shen Lang nodded, stepped onto the boat, stood behind Qin Qing, and raised his hand to Yan Tianying:

"Master Yan, let's go!"

"Be careful on the road and have a safe journey."

Soon, the boat took off in the wind and soared thousands of feet into the sky.

Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year, and it snowed heavily yesterday. The snow on the ground is more than a foot thick. It is the time when the weather is cold and the ground is freezing. It is especially cold in the sky. It should be turned into ice by breathing.

But after the boat took off, the two orbs at the head and tail bloomed with gleaming light at the same time, turning into a curtain of light that enveloped the boat and shielded the biting cold wind from the outside. Qin Qing could not feel the slightest cold from the heavy waves on the boat.

.

At an altitude of a thousand feet, Qin Qing made another seal, and the boat immediately flew towards the southwest.

Seeing that the direction was wrong, Shen Lang asked quickly:

"Senior Sister, do you have to go somewhere else to take care of business first?"

Qin Qing said: "No, the flowering period of Xianwu Youtan is very short. It's only within these three to five days. If you miss it, you have to wait until next year. So we don't have time to delay. We must go straight to Xianwu Mountain and seize the time to search and pick.

"

"Uh, then Xianwu Mountain is directly north of the capital, right?"

"Yes, why does Junior Brother Shen ask this question?"

"Because senior sister, you are flying to the southwest."

Upon hearing these words, Qin Qing's body suddenly became obviously stiff.

Then he stammered:

"I, I just...well, I just looked in the wrong direction when I took off. It's a small mistake, nothing serious."

"Sister, can you turn to true north now?"

"..."

After a period of silence, Qin Qing whispered in an unspeakable tone:

"Well, where is true north?"

Shen Lang was speechless, raised his hand and pointed:

"there."

Qin Qing quickly glanced at the direction pointed by Shen Lang, quickly turned the boat's head and flew in the direction he pointed.

After flying for a while, Qin Qing forcefully explained:

"Actually, I just have poor eyesight. When I'm in the air, I can't see the reference points on the ground clearly. There's no sun today, so I misjudged the direction. It's not that I don't know the direction."

Shen Lang nodded, pretending not to notice that she had already cast an eyesight spell instantly when she took off before, and said in an understanding tone:

"Yes, I understand. Looking at the way you looked at people just now, senior sister, I know that your eyesight may not be very good. I also practice Taoism and know how hard it is to practice Taoism."

At the same time, I feel sad that the senior sister needs someone to accompany her when collecting medicine. It seems that it is not just because she is not good at actual combat.

Seeing that he was so reasonable, Qin Qing was secretly relieved, his tone returned to normal, and he said with a smile:

"I heard from Master, Junior Brother Shen, your Taoist talent is extraordinary? How many levels of cultivation do you have?"

Shen Lang didn't hide it from her. After all, if he encountered a battle, he would also need to use his Taoist skills. He couldn't hide it, so he answered honestly:

"I was promoted to fifth rank not long ago."

Qin Qing's tone revealed a hint of surprise:

"Looking at your age, junior brother, you are only seventeen or eighteen years old, but you have already reached the fifth level of cultivation? No wonder the master praises your talent. At what age did you start to come into contact with Taoism?"

"Ten... years old. I should have been exposed to Taoism at the age of ten."

Well, Shen Lang was modest in the end and did not say that he only came into contact with Taoism when he was seventeen years old, and he has been practicing Taoism for less than half a year.

Qin Qing nodded slowly:

"Although children come into contact with Taoism at an early age, children's minds are unstable, and their soul and intelligence have not yet grown up. It is difficult for them to achieve anything whether they practice contemplation or study Taoism. My little sister, for example, was born at the age of seven.

After being introduced by my master, I only learned two unconventional techniques in three years.

"It's not that she is not talented enough. In fact, junior sister's talent is the best. It's just that her character has not yet been settled, and her soul and intelligence are still growing. She can only learn this step at the moment.

"So I guess that although Junior Brother Shen came into contact with Taoism at the age of ten, he didn't officially master the first ninth-level Taoism until he was thirteen or fourteen years old."

Listening to her determined tone, Shen Lang coughed dryly and praised:

"Senior Sister's guess is correct. Although I came into contact with Taoism at an early age, I was still quite young when I learned the first ninth-grade Taoism."

Well, I only learned the first ninth-grade Taoist method half a year ago. At that time, my physical age should be more than seventeen years old, so the senior sister's guess can be considered correct even if rounded to the nearest five.

"I cultivated my first ninth-level Taoist method when I was thirteen or fourteen years old, and when I was seventeen or eighteen, I had a fifth-level cultivation level, which is as good as Yunxiao's level with the famous Little Celestial Master. This kind of talent is indeed worthy of praise from the master.

"

"I can't compare to Senior Sister, who has a fourth-level cultivation at such a young age."

The senior sister snorted, covered her lips and smiled sweetly:

"I'm not young anymore. I'll be twenty-nine in a while!"
