Ji Qingzhuo woke up. She didn't seem too scared even if she was woken up by an unknown object in the middle of the night.

She turned over and the brocade quilt slipped from her waist. She squinted and, through the moonlight, saw Maomao resting his head on the edge of the bed and looking at her.

It was an old donkey with cloudy eyes. He was about to die in that donkey meat hotpot restaurant.

Ji Qingzhuo turned over and sat up. She crossed her legs and sat up straight. She followed the furry nose, touched it, and touched its head.

Maomao's breath was warm and a little moist. In the quiet room, Ji Qingzhuo heard it huffing and puffing.

It seemed very tired, as if it was going to die in the next moment, but what reason did it have not to die? It was an ordinary donkey, and it was normal for it to die at the end of its life.

Ji Qingzhuo put on his robe, jumped out of bed, hugged Maomao's neck tightly, and he obediently put his head on her shoulder.

"Are you going to die?" Ji Qingzhuo asked it.

Maomao's breathing was still disordered, and its head hung weakly.

Ji Qingzhuo thought that it wanted to live, otherwise it wouldn't have opened her door late at night and asked her for help.

She pulled up her robe, put on her shoes casually, and led Maomao out of the hospital.

Ji Qingzhuo is now extremely grateful that Yu Sukong gave her the magic weapon of the flywheel. She took Maomao on the flywheel and left Baishui Island late at night.

The system has never seen Ji Qingzhuo drive the flywheel so fast. She usually goes to class slowly and on time.

So she can drive so fast, the system thought amidst the whistling wind coming towards her.

Ji Qingzhuo went to Elder Qiao Shu. Even if she came here late at night, she would disturb the old elder, but there was nothing she could do.

On Mingshui Lake, there is a bamboo wind lantern on the bamboo house facing the water. It is lit with orange warm light and is swaying in the dark blue wind above the lake.

Ji Qingzhuo put a hand under Maomao's head. She found that its head was getting heavier and heavier, and it seemed that it would soon fall down and never be lifted up again.

She patted the bamboo door with her other hand and called several times: "Elder Qiao."

Qiao Shu put on a heavy coat, with a touch of magic light hanging from her fingertips, and came over to open the door for Ji Qingzhuo.

As soon as he opened the door, all the lights in the bamboo corridor were on. Ji Qingzhuo's face was pale under the lights.

"Maomao, my donkey." She pushed Maomao in front of Qiao Shu. She remembered that Qiao Shu said that he also raised a donkey.

"It's old and dying, Qingzhuo, isn't this normal?" Qiao Shu pushed his crystal mirror and said to Ji Qingzhuo.

"But it... didn't want to die. It came to ask for help in the middle of the night." Ji Qingzhuo tried his best to hold its head, and its muddy eyes were about to close.

"Is that so?!" Qiao Shu was startled, and then he looked serious.

He immediately walked into the alchemy room and took out a small bottle of pills. As soon as he opened the lid of the medicine bottle, the fragrance of the pills overflowed. It was obvious that they were made from high-grade medicinal materials.

Qiao Shu didn't feel any distress at all and gave Maomao three pills. Maomao chewed and swallowed, and her heavy head immediately lifted up.

Its eyes became a little clearer, but they were still a little cloudy.

Ji Qingzhuo looked into its eyes with distress.

Qiao Shu touched Maomao's head: "It's so good."

Ji Qingzhuo half-crouched and hugged Maomao. She raised her head slightly, the hair on her shoulders fell down, and her eyes sparkled.

"Elder Qiao, this medicine has no effect, right?" Ji Qingzhuo asked softly.

"Yes." Qiao Shu stroked his gray beard and said with some helplessness, "This good medicine for prolonging life is also a very precious thing in our Xuanyun Sect. The fairy elixir here is low-grade. I refined it myself, but even a low-grade fairy elixir requires a lot of rare medicinal materials." "

Moreover, in addition to high-grade fairy elixirs, taking other fairy elixirs will also have side effects." Qiao Shu said slightly Sighing, "My three pieces can only make it live for another three years."

Ji Qingzhuo stroked Maomao's back again and again, and she remained silent.

"In the Xuanyun Sect, there are currently only three high-grade immortal elixirs in stock, because the jade marrow stone that produces this elixir will only produce three in fifty years." Qiao Shu said to Ji Qingzhuo in a warm voice, " Qingzhuo, after listening to these numbers, you should know, right?"

"The top-grade immortal elixir is the reward for the top three disciples in the sect's assessment?" Ji Qingzhuo asked in a low voice, tugging at Maomao's mane with his fingers.

"Qingzhuo, yes, the top-grade immortal elixir is almost an immortal product. If you eat it, you can gain a lifespan comparable to the real Yuanying. Only such a reward can make the disciples who come up at every immortal meeting strive to fight for it. Ah." Qiao Shu said, looking down at Ji Qingzhuo.

"Elder Qiao, I understand." Ji Qingzhuo stood up slowly, placing her palms on Maomao's head.

Maomao quietly turned his head and rubbed Ji Qingzhuo's palm.

"I don't need low-grade fairy elixirs. If your donkey wants to eat, he can eat it. It's late at night, so go back quickly." Qiao Shu smiled comfortingly at Ji Qingzhuo, "Stay with your donkey. Three years later."

Qiao Shu only said three years. It seems that even he doesn't think Ji Qingzhuo can get the top three.

Ji Qingzhuo thanked her sincerely and left with Maomao.

She took Maomao onto the flywheel and squatted down under the moonlight.

Ji Qingzhuo touched Maomao's head very slowly and brushed his fingers over its eyes. This old donkey was really pitiful. He followed her to Xuanyun Sect and would die within a few days of enjoying the blessings.

But what can we do? It is old.

Maomao's breath was still warm, and it sprayed on Ji Qingzhuo's cold palm.

When approaching Baishui Island, Ji Qingzhuo seemed to have made up her mind. She hugged Maomao's neck tightly.

Because of the high speed of the flywheel, Maomao's four hooves moved uneasily.

Ji Qingzhuo hugged it and whispered into its rabbit-like long ears with a gentle voice: "Don't be afraid."

When she flew back to Baishui Island, she didn't notice anyone on the shore, but on the shoal under the moon, there were people holding on. Standing with a sword.

Shen Rongyu watched her flying from the lake with Mao Mao. He saw her half-crouching, hugging the donkey that was about to die of old age, with her plain clothes scattered.

He heard her whisper: "Don't be afraid."

Shen Rongyu was silent under the moon for a long time, and finally, he came to a simple and straightforward conclusion.

——He is worse than a donkey.

Ji Qingzhuo took Maomao back. After taking the low-grade elixir given by Qiao Shu, she was in good condition and was munching carrots in the yard.

She lay back on the bed.

The system asked: "Host, do you want to get the top three? I just advise you to work harder, but for the top three, you still don't have too much hope."

Ji Qingzhuo moved the small mirror hanging around his neck behind him. , she covered her head with a quilt.

For a long time, in the silent room, her voice was soft and gentle, but very clear: "I want to get the top three." The

system thought, it has to be Maomao. If it is going to die, Ji Qingzhuo will probably shed a tear. Don't take it off.

Ji Qingzhuo got up on time the next day, her toes pointed on the ground, looking hesitant.

Sometimes, when she goes from Baishui Island to other elders' caves for morning classes, she can meet Shen Rongyu outside Baishui Island.

He walked with his sword in a graceful manner, while she controlled her flywheel and swallowed slowly.

Ji Qingzhuo came to Shen Rongyu today to ask for something, so she waited for him on the shoal by the lake for a long time.

The morning sun shone brightly, and the lake surface was filled with gold. Shen Rongyu had the Snow Burial Sword hanging loosely on his waist. He walked out of the forest and saw Ji Qingzhuo waiting here, and his steps stopped.

Ji Qingzhuo swallowed her saliva. She wanted to speak, but she couldn't say the words.

She swallowed again, and Shen Rongyu looked at her nervous look, waiting for her to speak.

Ji Qingzhuo almost spent a lot of effort before he stammered: "Senior Brother Xiaoyu."

"What?" Shen Rongyu answered quickly, and he wanted to speak up for Ji Qingzhuo.

"I...you...tonight..." Ji Qingzhuo hesitated to speak.

This is what she thinks. The two courses that hold her back the most are the training class and the spell class. Measured by the standards of a monk, her current cultivation level is only at the first level of Qi refining. Shen Rongyu helped her temper her spiritual energy and forge her meridians. As a result, if the foundation of the cultivation class is not good, the magic class will naturally be greatly reduced. To improve the results of the two courses, the only way is to improve the cultivation level first.

However, when Shen Rongyu helped her practice before, she was quite resistant. Usually Shen Rongyu pulled her to absorb the spiritual energy, which delayed the time a little longer.

Now, she had to take the initiative to ask Shen Rongyu to extend the training time, which she couldn't say.

Of course, she didn't know that because Shen Rongyu was connected to her aura and could retrieve the lost energy, he didn't object to taking her to practice together.

Ji Qing thought about you and me for a long time. Finally, she took a deep breath and said the sentence in one sentence. Unexpectedly, due to nervousness and the influence of the previous system, she said a wrong word.

"Senior Brother Xiaoyu, can we do double cultivation tonight for a little longer? I'm sorry to bother you!" she said.

Shen Rongyu caught the key words, his eyes narrowed slightly, and the thin ice under his eyelashes that never melted seemed to have cracks.

"Double cultivation?" he asked.
