Chapter 237 Departure
The next day, it was still dark outside the window.
The small courtyard behind the main peak was lit up.
Little Black was running around the room, glowing, while Yun Ci and Chu Ziming were sitting on the edge of the bed getting dressed.
It was pitch black outside the window.
A cold wind blew by, making a crackling sound on the window paper.
Fearing they might be rushing, Yun Ci and Chu Ziming both wore very thick clothes today.
The two boys wore two layers underneath, and then another layer of cotton-padded winter disciple robes on top.
The two didn't look like they were going on a training trip; they looked more like they were going out for fun.
Little Ginseng and Little White also got up and were happily rolling around on the big bed.
The thick quilt was disheveled from sleeping on it, and it still retained some warmth.
Yun Ci also made clothes for the three little ones.
Although Yun Ci would put the three little creatures into the spirit beast pouch soon after they were on their way, she still put the pouch on them.
After getting dressed, Yun Ci was greeted by three adorable little ones looking up at him while still fully clothed.
So cute!
Yun Ci couldn't help but touch it.
There was a knock at the door, and Yun Ci said, "Come in."
Hei Zi pushed open the door and entered.
Yun Ci looked at Hei Zi who walked in and said, "Hei Zi, you woke up so early too."
Hei Zi was dressed in a gray servant's uniform.
However, it can be seen that the servant's robes he wore were quite thick, and he was no longer skin and bones.
Hei Zi is now even taller than Yun Ci.
She looked completely different from when we first met.
Yun Ci sometimes felt that Hei Zi was too thin and should eat more.
Hei Zi looked at Yun Ci, a well-behaved smile on his dark face, and said, "Mm."
Yun Ci put the blankets and pillows on the bed, as well as Xiao Hei's crib, into her storage ring.
Yun Ci took out a square table and placed it next to the stove in the outer room, then brought out the breakfast.
Tofu pudding, fried dough sticks, dumplings, wontons in chili oil, beef patties, steamed chicken feet, steamed shrimp dumplings, custard buns, and egg tarts.
You need to be well-fed to have the energy to travel.
Yun Ci laid out a whole table full of food.
The three boys and four little ones started eating with great anticipation.
The shrimp dumplings were made with shrimp from Xinghai Island, as Yunci used.
One bite and the shrimp paste inside bursts with sweet juice.
Steamed Ling Chicken Feet are first stewed and then steamed. As soon as you put the Ling Chicken Feet in your mouth, the soft and tender meat falls right off the bone.
Yunci and I both really like custard buns, egg tarts, and mini ginseng.
The custard bun has a runny filling when you bite into it, with a sweet custard sauce inside.
After finishing the hearty breakfast, everyone felt full of energy.
The spiritual energy is also more abundant.
Little Ginseng put the three remaining custard buns on the table into his storage bag, and then took a bite of the egg tart in his hand.
The timid mushroom stood on the table, burping repeatedly.
The white mushroom stems were still covered with red oil and food scraps.
Yun Ci patted the little ginseng's head.
After thinking for a moment, Yun Ci also put the heater into the storage ring.
When you need to rest, you can take it out to keep warm.
Yun Ci looked around and saw that everything that needed to be packed up had been packed.
Before setting off, all four little ones were put into storage rings.
Looking at the three puppets, Yun Ci tried it out, and the giant brown puppet immediately disappeared from its spot.
Yun Ci's eyes lit up.
Puppets can be stored in a spirit beast pouch? That's so useful!
Yun Ci immediately took Er Zong and Xiao Hong in as well.
Last night, after Little Ginseng came out, she said that the spirit beast bag was very, very big, big enough to fit a small bed or lots of delicious food.
Yun Ci put Xiao Hei's crib and bathtub into the spirit beast bag.
"Hei Zi." Yun Ci walked to Hei Zi's side and stuffed various foods and snacks into the cloth bag Hei Zi was carrying. "Eat these on the way."
He and Chu Ziming both packed a lot of food. Hei Zi didn't have any spiritual energy, so he couldn't use a storage bag and could only put the food in his bag.
Hei Zi watched as his cloth bag grew increasingly bulging, his tone both helpless and indulgent, "Yun Ci, if you keep stuffing it, you won't be able to carry it."
Yun Ci blinked; it seemed so.
Everything was tidied up, but it was still dark outside.
Yun Ci locked the gate, and the three young boys set off from the back mountain.
......
Upon arriving at Xuanyuan Square, you can hear lively conversations taking place there.
The handyman disciples were not with them.
Hei Zi and Yun Cichu Zimo parted ways and went to the menial disciples' side.
Yun Ci and Chu Zimo began searching for their team.
For this training trip to the border between the immortal and demon realms, the sect selected all disciples at or above the fifth level of Qi Refining.
This is an experience that happens every year.
To let the sect's disciples see what a true demon is like, and to let them temper their character and abilities through practice.
Disciples who have been there before may choose not to go again, or they may go.
But disciples who haven't been there before must go.
Of course, the sect will also send several powerful senior uncles to accompany and protect these disciples.
The three hundred inner disciples were divided into three large groups.
They were each led by three Nascent Soul stage senior uncles and dozens of Golden Core stage senior brothers and sisters.
Yun Ci and Chu Ziming held hands and walked through the crowd one after the other.
It's still dark, and nobody's looking at anyone else.
Some disciples would gather their spiritual energy in their palms to use as light.
Searched for a while.
Yun Ci and Chu Zimo finally found their team.
Yun Ci rubbed his face unhappily. It was too crowded just now, and he didn't know which jerk had pinched his face.
He was about to look for someone when he stood on tiptoe and looked up, only to find everyone with their backs to him.
He was so angry.
"What's wrong, Yun Ci?" Chu Ziming turned his head and, with the help of the spiritual energy of the person next to him, saw Yun Ci's angry expression.
Yun Ci stomped her foot, standing very close to Chu Ziming, and looked up unhappily, saying, "I don't know who it was, but they pinched my cheek just now."
Chu Ziming: "??? Damn it, don't let me find out, or I'll beat him up."
Chu Ziming said angrily while rubbing Yun Ci's face.
Yun Ci nodded, "I'll beat them up too!"
How could you secretly pinch his face? Luckily, he's a male cultivator; what if he were a female cultivator?
......
"Yun Ci!"
Hearing the voice, Yun Ci looked to the side and said, "Senior Sister Qingqing, Senior Sister Wanqing, you've come too."
Ye Qingqing and Su Wanqing came over hand in hand. "Yes, Uncle and the others haven't arrived yet. It looks like we'll have to wait a while."
The four of them waited together, and after a while, more and more familiar faces appeared.
Yun Ci and his group also grew in number.
Yun Ci stroked the little spirit mouse in her palm and talked to Ye Qingqing and the others.
The little mouse sensed Yun Ci's presence and kept snuggling into his arms.
The disciples around them, dressed in their winter sect robes, were also chatting away.
"I've prepared a lot of treasures for this trip to the Demon Realm. When I see a demon, I'll kill it one by one!"
"That's right! This time we'll show those demons what we're made of!"
"You've all seen demons? I'm probably the only one who hasn't."
"When I went to Fengchun Continent for training before, I encountered a demon, but it was a low-level demon."
"Most of the demons we encounter are low-level demons, so everyone should be careful. I've heard that some demons can even disguise themselves."
"Um......"
"Hey, fellow Daoist, what are you eating? Did you buy it from Yun Ci?"
"Yes, Yun Ci said this is called roujiamo (Chinese hamburger)."
He bought a lot a couple of days ago, just waiting to eat it when he gets hungry during his training.
"Why do you all have them? Can you sell me one?"
I should have known better than to go into seclusion the other day.
