Mianyuyan returned to Mount Emei. The first thing she did was urge her two doubles to cultivate.
In the chuckles of Long Jile, the phoenix munched on a peach with a crunch: "I can enhance my magical power by eating peaches. Why do I need to practice? Let the new arrival, Xiao Yueyue, practice instead!"
In the jade crystal world, Moonlight Daoist hurriedly shook his head: "I only need to lie under the moonlight to enhance my cultivation. Why should I waste effort practicing? Moreover, I am in the Tianxian realm. To achieve rapid results is not wise. In my opinion, main body cultivation should be the priority."
Deng Chanyu: ""
The new Moonlight cannot be corrupted by the Phoenix.
She earnestly urged her two doubles: "I need to control the big picture, teach disciples, handle various military and national affairs. How busy it is, right? I really don't have time. I can only put up with hardships for you. Just focus on cultivating yourselves!"
The Moonlight Daoist, a bit confused, said: "No, I'm really tired. I'm going to sleep now. Good night."
The Phoenix smoothly steered the conversation: "Good night, Xiao Yueyue. The Heavenly Palace is also dark now. Well, I'm going to sleep too."
Deng Chanyu scratched her head. She hadn't yet compiled the Daoist arts of Moonlight Daoist, and his constitution seemed unsuitable for Daoist arts. She had written two versions, but they were rejected before they could be practiced. At the moment, lying in the moonlight to absorb lunar essence was indeed the fastest way to improve her cultivation level.
As for the phoenix? That fellow can boost his magical power by consuming all sorts of celestial talents and treasures. He eats as much spiritual wine and pills as he is given, and his magical power increases at an incredible rate. It seems there isn't much to say about it.
Deng Chanyu was startled and said, "So my main body is the one holding back? I'll practice!"
After secluding herself for two days, she suddenly had a burst of inspiration and decided to step out of her seclusion. Just then, she happened upon Yun Xiao and Daji chatting in the courtyard.
One was graceful, the other enchanting, with a mutually comparable temperament. From a distance, there was an extraordinary sense of harmony between them.
Deng Chanyu walked over and asked, "What are you two talking about? Why are you so happy?"
Daji smiled and said, "Sister Yun Xiao said that when the Shennong Sect's Nanjia Xianweng welcomed Guangchengzi and the others, he was ambushed by Kun Dao. A supreme being almost escaped with his life, but his steed, a plum blossom deer, was devoured by Kun Dao."
Kun Daoist? Nanjia Xianweng? Deng Chanyu couldn't figure out how these two characters got involved together, but neither was a friend of hers. It's a dog-eat-dog world, so there's no problem with that.
That Nanjia Xianweng is really weak!
It's normal that Nanjia Xianweng couldn't defeat Kunpeng. They are not on the same level of immortality.
It's true that Kun Daoist was once just the evil spirit of Kunpeng, and after their separation, he could at most have the strength of a Da Luo warrior. Even if it was an ambush, and even if Kun Daoist has powerful talents and a higher rank, the sight of Nanjia Xianweng running away in panic is too embarrassing for a supreme being.
However, this matter has nothing to do with Deng Chanyu. As long as it makes her happy, it's fine.
Upon seeing her approach, Yun Xiao immediately rose to her feet and bowed respectfully: "Jing Xiao's return is thanks to the sister's help. Your great kindness and great virtue will be forever etched in my heart and never forgotten."
The circumstances surrounding Jing Xiao frightened her big sister to death. Particularly when compared to the misfortune of the five disciples from the Chuanzhang Sect, it is truly frightening to think about it.
It was indeed too dangerous.
The Qianshou School has much stronger divine fortune than the Jie School, and Yuan Shi Tianzun controls the Shengshen Baogao. If it really comes to a time when the Taoist tradition is about to be severed, it wouldn't be impossible to open the Shengshen Baogao and save people. Laughter? Who dares to laugh?
The Jie School doesn't have that kind of condition. If Jing Xiao dies, the bond between countless disciples in the same cultivation level may truly be severed, and Yun Xiao dares not even imagine what kind of emotions she would feel at that time.
Jing Xiao wanted to come this time to thank her, but she was stopped and given a deadly order: "You must stay in the Bixiu Palace safely. Unless I, your sister, die, you are not allowed to leave the palace! Ignore all orders from Duo Bao and Jin Ling as well. If there is an event, just push it onto me. They should come to me!"
When Yun Xiao got angry, Jing Xiao and Bieliao immediately shrank back, acting like meek geese and not daring to resist. They quietly stayed in the Bixiu Palace.
Yun Xiao came this time specifically to express her gratitude, and saying thanks in vain was indeed insincere. She also presented a gift.
"In the days of the war between the Wuya and the Immortals, my sister and I mistakenly entered an ancient immortal's pavilion deep in the Yunmeng Lake. Inside was sealed a well of Gui water, which produces a drop of Gui water essence every eighty-one years. After so many years have passed, there must be quite a bit accumulated. If you, sister, and Su Jia's younger sister wish to cultivate water path arts, you may go to the Yunmeng Lake."
In fact, the pavilion she mentioned was discovered by herself and had nothing to do with Jing Xiao and Bieliao.
Now that the well has accumulated for many years, the dense gu water essence is just right for a Daoist like Deng Chanyu, whose water path arts are relatively weak. According to her observation, Jiazi's Daoist arts should also be suitable for practicing with gu water. Although she cannot guarantee that she will directly advance to Xuanxian realm, she can certainly make a significant leap forward in the Zhenxian realm.
Deng Chanyu and Daji have been practicing the Dao for too short a time, and they started late as well. Now in the Honghuang world, all the good places are already occupied. When it comes to the four requisites of cultivation (the right method, a spiritual companion, wealth, and a place to practice), even though they are disciples of sages, they are lacking in some aspects.
Yun Xiao has traveled throughout the Honghuang world for many years and can provide some help in terms of "weal" and "place".
She will use it as a thank-you gift this time. No matter how you look at it, it is appropriate.
"Gui water essence?" Deng Chanyu's five-color divine light is only one level away from water path, but she is weak in it. After entering the level of wood path, the divine light of water path has been stuck at the doorstep for nearly ten years. It's not a small accomplishment or a large accomplishment, it's just an entry-level one. It's so difficult that many times she feels like she wants to try her best, but there is no place to put her efforts.
If there were high-grade water path spirit materials to assist her, she might be able to break through the bottleneck of her talent and allow the divine light of water path to enter.
She glanced at Daji, who signaled, "Listen to you."
"Okay, thank you sister for the treasure."
Yun Xiao handed her a jade tablet, which detailed the route to enter Yunmeng Lake and the illusions outside the pavilion. Without Yun Xiao's guidance, ordinary Daoists could not enter unless they surpass her in cultivation level and array mastery.
Yun Xiao politely took her leave and went to the back mountain to see the bamboo that Xiao Qingluan had planted!
She originally wanted to let the sisters return to the Three Immortal Island, as it had been cleaned up quite a bit. However, after Yun Xiao's incident, she immediately rejected the idea. With magic beasts and demons always lurking around, they might cause trouble anytime. The Three Immortal Island is still too dangerous. It's better for Jing Xiao and Bieliao to stay in the Bixiu Palace for now.
Now Xiao Qingluan, Honghu, and Hualing are all "shared employees" at Emei Mountain. There's no need to go to the old Zhao's side anymore. They three are just planting bamboo on Emei Mountain. If Deng Chanyu needs anything, they'll help out with some hands-on work.
After Yun Xiao left, Deng Chanyu and Daji studied the jade tablet together.
After three days, the two set off for Yunmeng Lake.
