There is no future for menial disciples? I draw talismans to achieve immortality

Chapter 283 Ye Shanhu's Devotion

For Xu Changshou, it would take only one day to draw five hundred first-grade talismans.

But he didn't plan to finish the painting in one day because it was too tiring.

In the evening, Xu Changshou drew three hundred talismans and then began to rest.

-

Suddenly, Xiao Hei landed in the yard carrying Ye Shanhu.

It was a round trip of 4,000 miles to Pingyang Market, and with Xiao Hei's speed he could return in half a day. Xu Changshou was not surprised that he could return so quickly.

"Have you bought all the herbs?" Xu Changshou asked casually.

Ye Shanhu nodded and said with a smile, "Nine kinds of auxiliary spiritual medicines, all of which are included. I bought two copies of each."

"Thank you."

Xu Changshou clasped his fists slightly but did not mention giving money.

These nine kinds of spiritual medicines combined would not cost more than a hundred spirit stones. Even if he gave them to her, Ye Shanhu would not take them.

Anyway, she promised to draw talismans for Ye Shanhu for another year, so she won’t suffer any loss.

"Junior Sister Ye, when are you going to start refining the pills? Tonight?" Xu Changshou asked.

"No."

Ye Shanhu shook her head: "I've been running all day today and I'm tired. I need to rest tonight and recharge my energy. I'll start refining the elixir tomorrow morning."

Xu Changshou scratched his head: "Then tonight..."

Ye Shanhu blinked: "I will definitely rest at your place tonight. I don't want to run back and forth. It's too tiring."

Xu Changshou smiled bitterly: "Junior Sister Ye, this is not good."

Ye Shanhu frowned: "What are you afraid of? It's not like I haven't slept here before, Brother Xu. Are you afraid that I will eat you?"

"Um... okay, you sleep on the bed and I'll meditate in the living room."

"Ok!"

……

late at night.

Xu Changshou sat cross-legged on the cushion in the living room, practicing with full concentration.

squeak-

Suddenly, the bedroom door opened and Ye Shanhu tiptoed towards Xu Changshou.

Xu Changshou's eyelashes twitched, and he felt a little panicked inside, but he didn't dare to move.

Ye Shanhu sat down directly, hugged Xu Changshou from behind, and put her face against Xu Changshou's back.

"Junior Sister Ye, you..."

"Brother Xu, what do you think would be great if we both failed in our foundation building?"

Ye Shanhu's gentle voice interrupted Xu Changshou's words.

"This……"

Xu Changshou was stunned. He couldn't believe that Ye Shanhu would have such an idea.

He understood what Ye Shanhu meant. They had made an agreement in the past that if neither of them could establish a foundation, then they would become Taoist companions when they were fifty years old.

Later, Xu Changshou established his foundation, and Ye Shanhu also established his foundation.

The agreement between them ended in nothing.

Ye Shanhu never showed much emotion in front of him.

This sudden incident today made Xu Changshou a little overwhelmed.

"Junior Sister Ye, don't be impulsive. The love between a son and a daughter is just a minor matter. I yearn for the great Dao wholeheartedly and have no other thoughts..."

"Senior Brother Xu."

Ye Shanhu suddenly turned in front of Xu Changshou and stared at him with her big, watery eyes:

"What's the point of living forever if I can't be with the one I love?"

"Junior Sister Ye, I beg to differ with you. If I cannot achieve the Great Dao, my life will be mediocre, no different from an ant or a gnat."

Xu Changshou also looked into Ye Shanhu's eyes and spoke seriously.

He admitted that he had a good impression of Ye Shanhu, but deep down he yearned for the path of immortal cultivation.

Upon hearing this, Ye Shanhu's eyes flashed with a gloom. "Brother Xu, do you know how high the sky is and how far the path is? What happens when the path you yearn for is unattainable?"

"I don't know. I'll take one step at a time. I want to get a glimpse of the great truth. I would rather die than regret it." Xu Changshou said word by word.

"Alas, Senior Brother Xu, you really have a heart of stone."

Ye Shanhu sighed softly, and a tear slid down her face.

Although she felt resentful, she secretly admired Xu Changshou's firm determination to become a Taoist.

The path to becoming an immortal is like hundreds of millions of people crossing a single-plank bridge, a bridge covered with thorns.

Perhaps, only someone with a firm faith in Taoism like Xu Changshou can achieve enlightenment.

Xu Changshou extended his thumb and wiped away Ye Shanhu's tears.

"Junior Sister Ye, I understand your intentions. I promise you that if I, Xu Changshou, cannot condense the elixir by the time I am 100 years old, I will become your Taoist partner."

"Really?"

Ye Shanhu raised her eyes, joy showing at first, then worry.

Another agreement.

Do you want to wait for him for a hundred years?

No, if this guy really succeeds in forming a pill, what should I do? I’m not sure I can form a pill.

"No, Senior Brother Xu, I don't want a hundred years, I only want the day."

After saying this, Ye Shanhu threw herself into Xu Changshou's arms.

Holding Ye Shanhu's soft body, Xu Changshou was dumbfounded.

"Brother Xu, I know you are devoted to the Great Dao. If you cannot form the elixir, I will definitely become your Dao partner. But if you can form the elixir, my hundred years of waiting will not be in vain."

"Um...Junior Sister Ye, I didn't think that much."

"Brother Xu, I don't want to wait any longer. I'm almost forty years old. If a woman can't form a pill, how many more forty years can she wait?"

"But……"

"I don't object to you being devoted to the great Dao, but I don't want to leave any regrets behind. Brother Xu, okay?"

After saying this, Ye Shanhu looked at Xu Changshou with her big watery eyes.

Go to his grandma's avenue.

Xu Changshou couldn't help it, picked up Ye Shanhu, and strode into the bedroom.

The candlelight went out.

In the dark night, spring is boundless.

Early in the morning, Xu Changshou opened his eyes and saw bright red bloodstains.

Ye Shanhu folded up the bed sheets in a panic and then quickly put on her clothes.

She washed up, then cleaned Xu Changshou's small courtyard inside and out, and made some desserts for Xu Changshou, like a virtuous little wife.

The two sat at the dining table, but remained silent.

After a long while, Xu Changshou finally spoke: "Junior Sister Ye, I..."

"Brother Xu, don't worry. I won't let you get caught up. I'll wait until you're a hundred years old. You said that if you don't form an elixir by a hundred, we'll become Taoist companions."

"Forehead?"

Xu Changshou scratched his head: "Can't you just hope for me to be well? How do you know that I can't form a pill?"

Ye Shanhu was surprised: "Are you sure you can form a pill?"

Xu Changshou nodded: "I'm a little confident."

Ye Shanhu's beautiful eyes showed a thoughtful look: What should I do if he really forms a pill? Wouldn't it be a waste of a hundred years of waiting?

"Brother Xu, if I wait until you are a hundred years old and you have achieved Dan, wouldn't I be at a loss?"

"What do you have to lose? You once possessed the power of the Golden Elixir, so you should have gained something." Xu Changshou teased.

"I do not care."

Ye Shanhu pouted and said, "When you become a great Golden Elixir Master, you must take me as your concubine."

"Okay, I promise you."

"I'm going to make the elixir."

After receiving Xu Changshou's promise, Ye Shanhu went into the house happily.

In the next two days, Ye Shanhu made elixirs and Xu Changshou drew talismans.

Ye Shanhu was very sensible. She knew that Xu Changshou was devoted to practicing Taoism, so she did not cling to Xu Changshou like a little woman.

The two of them still addressed each other as senior brother and junior sister, just like before.

It's just that there is more intimacy and emotion than before.
