The New Year celebrations in Qingxuguan were relatively simple, the food was just better than usual. The villagers gave some of their own delicacies, eggs and other things, and Huilan had someone send some medicine to take back to them as a courtesy.

This year passed quite smoothly. Huilan once thought that she was really too sensitive, so she slowly let go of her worries. It was not until she was fifteen that she let go without hearing anything happened.

Because I visited each village twice before the New Year, and I didn’t go to the village until the 15th day of the New Year. Does everyone have to celebrate the New Year?

After the Chinese New Year, everyone has to take some time off. Spring is coming, and the frost is about to thaw. The flowers are blooming, and the villagers are beginning to prepare for spring plowing and sowing.

It was only after Huilan arrived that she learned that people in the countryside almost never went to the countryside in the spring because everyone was very busy. The whole family had to go to work in the spring plowing, unless they were lying down and unable to move.

If you don’t have time to see a doctor, you have to make time for spring plowing, which represents a year’s harvest.

Huilan didn't wait for the weather to get hotter before going to the countryside after May. She took advantage of this time to concentrate on training the guards' sword skills and Ma Qi's alchemy. She also had free time to write scriptures and medicine scriptures.

.

Ma Qi began to learn from her how to make medicine and treat diseases. He knew how to do it before, but his skills were not good enough. Taoist Master Ma would not allow him to treat patients alone. He was afraid that his skills would not be enough to make others aware of the problem, which would affect the reputation of the Taoist temple.

Huilan took advantage of the spring day when she had nothing to do and taught him step by step how to do acupuncture, how to read medical cases, how to identify meridians and a series of other things, starting from the basics.

The more I learn from Ma Qi, the more I feel that I am so lucky. Huilan is a really capable and capable person, and I am lucky to learn from her.

Ma Qi's qualifications are pretty good and he is ready to break through. He has been suppressing it for a while, but Taoist Master Ma failed to win the Foundation Establishment Pill for him.

If you can't get the Foundation Building Pill by practicing Qingxu Guan, you have to go to the most famous Medicine Master's Palace to get medicine. There are many talented people there and there are relatively many monks with high cultivation levels.

Seeing that he was anxious, Huilan found an opening for a day and waved to him, "Ma Qi, are you going to break through and prepare to build a foundation? Are you ready? Are you sure?"

"I'm 80% sure, but I don't have a foundation-building pill, so I can only wait and solidify the foundation."

March sighed sadly.

"You followed me, I can't let you work in vain. Let's do this. I have a foundation building pill here. When you are ready, go and build the foundation. This is the Five Elements Spirit Gathering Formation, and inside it is what I will give you.

The spiritual stones will help you build your foundation."

March was so shocked that he could not speak for a long time with his mouth wide open.

After reacting, he knelt on the ground, "Madam, I... I don't know how to thank you. Can I call you master? I have wanted to call you for a long time, but my status is low and my qualifications are only mediocre. I am afraid that I will insult you.

reputation."

Huilan looked at him and smiled lightly, "Xizi, bring him some tea."

"Ai!"

Qian Xi responded sweetly, then went to bring a cup of tea and handed it to him.

Ma Qi took the tea and looked at Xizi blankly, as if asking what he meant.

Xizi patted him hard on the head and said, "Serve tea and kowtow to become master. Did you just call me master casually? You idiot."

"Oh, master, please bow to me, my disciple."

Ma Qi knelt there, kowtowed respectfully three times and offered tea.

Huilan picked up the tea cup and took a sip, and then smiled with satisfaction, "Being my disciple has requirements, you must not do evil things, do not break laws or violate the laws of heaven, help the world and save people, care about the world, and do what is right and follow the laws of nature. If you violate it, you will be punished.

I will definitely kill you personally, do you understand?"

"Disciple Ma Qi remembers his master's teachings and does not dare to forget them."

Then kowtow in a respectful and serious manner.

Huilan has been inspecting Ma Qi for nearly a year. His qualifications are not very good, just above average. What is rare is that he has a down-to-earth personality and is loyal and upright. This is the main reason why he is willing to accept him as a disciple. His character is very good.

Qualifications are more important. If she had to choose one, she would rather choose a child with good conduct.

This has been the Ding family's primary criterion for choosing Keqing's disciples for many years.

"Get up, this Foundation Building Pill and the Five Elements Spirit Gathering Formation can be regarded as a meeting gift for the master. You prepare to build the foundation in a few days. This is a bit of foundation building experience gained by the master. You can go down and understand it."

"Yes, thank you Master."

Ma Qi held something in both hands and nodded vigorously with red eyes.

Huilan glanced at Qian Xi with envy, and said with a smile, "Xizi, I'm not a spiritual chef, so I can't teach you much, but I have eaten good food, and I can completely lock the spiritual energy in the food, and use the spiritual energy to its fullest potential.

It has advantages and can improve the taste of food. This kind of smart chef has unlimited potential.

When you build the foundation, I will also prepare the same things for you to help you build the foundation, as a thank you gift for taking care of me here."

"Thank you so much, madam. Xizi thanks you for your great kindness."

Qian Xi also cried excitedly. "The Foundation Establishment Pill, one hundred thousand spirit stones, Qingxuguan is eligible to get three pills because it has been purchasing medicinal materials and other materials from the Medicine Master Palace all year round, and it also costs money."

But the only three pills have to be given to the qualified disciples first, and they won't be able to get them at all. Not even Ma Qi, the clan leader of the temple, can't get them.

"Go ahead, don't be in a hurry to build the foundation. You have to press harder to solidify the foundation and strive to succeed in the first time."

Huilan reminded again and again.

"yes."

Huilan was also very happy to receive an honest disciple. After hearing about it, Taoist Master Ma specially brought some gifts.

"Madam, I won't say much more to thank you. You can ask me wherever you want to use Ma Yu in the future. Ma Qi is the candidate who is preparing to take over Qingxu Temple, but this time I only got two Foundation Establishment Pills.

, there are talented disciples waiting to build the foundation ahead, I can’t give it to him without conscience.

You have really helped me a lot. I, Ma Yu, will remember this kindness in my heart. These are a few wine recipes and elixir recipes that I personally collected. Don’t dislike it. Please consider me a little considerate. If you need Qingxu Guan in the future,

As long as it doesn't violate moral principles and laws, I'm bound to do it."

Ma Yu bowed deeply to the end and expressed his gratitude.

"Okay, we can count ourselves as one of our own, so there's no need to be so polite. I like Ma Qi's character, so when I accept him as my apprentice, I naturally have to consider him.

Ma Qi is suitable for Qingxu Guan. He has an upright and upright character, is loyal and benevolent yet cautious, intelligent and measured. If you teach him well, he will be able to rely on him in the future."

"That's the reason. I have never been married or had children in my life. Ma Qi lost his father when he was a child. His mother took him to the mountain and begged me to take him in and educate him. To be honest, I raised this child as a son, and I still expect him to be a child in the future.

I am here to retire and die."

Ma Yu smiled happily.

"Don't worry, he is my apprentice and I will take him seriously."

"Thank you very much. If you need anything, just tell Xizi and report it to me. I will get it done for you."

"good."

A month later, Ma Qi successfully built the foundation and took on a new look. He became more confident and stable.

As soon as he came out of the mountain, freshened up and changed his clothes, Ma Qi came to kowtow to Huilan.

"Master, my disciple has lived up to his master's kindness and has succeeded in building the foundation."
