The clouds in the sky are the most peaceful when they sit quietly in one place, watching the clouds rise and fall. This is when they are most at peace within themselves. They are not particularly good at expressing themselves, so when they sense that the holy mother is not pleased, they become very anxious.
This opportunity to meet her idol has undoubtedly been squandered. However, the more anxious she becomes, the less able she is to come up with a solution.
Qiong Xiang is usually straightforward and easygoing, but in the presence of the saint, she is still nervous and can barely string two sentences together; everything depends on Yun Xiang supporting her.
They continued to awkwardly chat for another tea time, until Yun Xiang's words ran out. At that moment, Deng Changyu arrived.
Deng Changyu first led Jiang Zitia and Qiu Long elder to the foot of Kunlun Mountain. She did not delay, and opened a space channel. In one step, when she appeared again, she had already arrived at the 33rd heaven. After spending a little time to locate her position, she opened another space channel again, and finally landed at the gate of Wa Palace.
She glanced at the slightly ajar door and said, "Please wait a moment, gentlemen. I need to change into a different outfit. Someone will come to take you to meet the Saint Teacher shortly."
Wearing a robe and holding a jade pendant is certainly not a fitting appearance for the taste of Nuwa. This will need to be changed as well.
She also needs to take a bath and wash off the spiritual essence of Kunlun Mountain and the Jade Purity Palace, so that she can meet Nuwa.
The spell of changing clothes just by shaking their shoulders in front of immortals or fairies was meant to fool ordinary people. In the presence of sages, such a spell had no effect at all. Therefore, Deng Changyu had to genuinely change her clothes.
Old Jiang and the Qiu Long elder didn't understand the purpose of her changing clothes every half an hour, but since they had arrived here, they could only comply with the arrangement.
Deng Changyu had her own palace in the Wu Palace, so she didn't need someone to guide her. She walked alone, leaving Old Jiang and the Qiu Long elder to stare at each other in confusion.
The Qiu Long elder was so angry that he felt his liver hurt. Thinking about the vast amount of spiritual materials that had been cheated away, he felt uncomfortable all over.
Jiang Zitia took a walk around the area. He didn't walk far before he saw a towering tree, its color blazing red, as if connecting heaven and earth—a primal Mulberry Tree.
The Primordial Wutong tree is an innate spiritual root of the same generation as Futi Luo Han, with an extraordinary discernment. For someone like Jiang Ziya, who has reached the level of a Land Immortal at the age of a hundred, it's not worth the Wutong tree's excessive attention.
The tree did not pay attention to Old Jiang, who did not know that it was a spirit. Instead, his attention was drawn to another "thing."
Yun Xiang was sitting on the tree, wearing a super oversized robe. When Old Jiang entered the range of the Primordial Mulberry Tree, her eyes that were black and white looked right at him. By the time Old Jiang finally noticed that there was "someone" observing him in the dark, Yun Xiang quickly retreated into the dense branches of the Primordial Mulberry Tree. The two crescent-shaped ears also shook twice.
Old Jiang felt puzzled and couldn't help but look up towards the tree. Thinking of his experience on Mount Emei, he pondered and wondered, are these animals popular to raise in the heavenly realm now? What does it mean to wear a robe?
Yun Xiang really likes Yuan Xiao and is about to adopt her as a disciple. However, Yuan Xiao still has many basic skills to catch up on, so she can only be considered a pet-like student at the moment.
Qiong Xiang didn't find Yun Xiao before, but it was only after leading out Yuan Xiao that she could find the cloud realm through the mental connection between the main and companion.
Originally, it was supposed to take Yuan Xiao back to the Biyou Palace, but this creature wouldn't let go of Yun Xiao's leg. Considering that it comes from Mount Emei, and even if Nuwa doesn't give me face, she will still give face to her disciples. So, the two sisters simply brought Yuan Xiao to the Nuwa Palace.
Yun Xiao and Qiong Xiang instructed it to behave obediently outside and then went to meet Nuwa.
Yuan Xiao was really bored. Just then, she saw the Primordial Mulberry Tree. She resisted and resisted, but finally climbed up the tree, claiming that the scenery on the tree was good and quiet, making it a perfect place for reading.
At this moment, it was holding a Taoist scripture and looking out from the gaps in the book. The scripture was only about palm size, which couldn't hide its chubby face. The giant red tree couldn't cover up its ample body fat. Old Jiang was continuously examining this strange creature.
Upon realizing that the scriptures could not shield its strange gaze, Yuan Xiao stood up, performed a respectful bow, and Old Jiang saw this "senior" from the realm of celestial immortals also showing respect. Naturally, he couldn't stay poised and returned the gesture.
"Squeak, squeak, squeak," Yuan Xiao climbed down the tree and came to Old Jiang's front. Holding the scripture, it made a gesture inviting him to look.
Yun Xiao occasionally pulled Yuan Xiao over and rubbed her a few times, touching her head and kicking her buttocks. She was worried that she might play it to death. So she found some spiritual materials and filled Yuan Xiao up like a duck, raising her level to that of a celestial being. In reality, she didn't teach Yuan Xiao the Jie Sect's cultivation methods. Currently, Yuan Xiao has both power but doesn't know how to use it.
Yun Xiao also didn't teach her disciples. She gave two ordinary scriptures and then let it self-cultivate.
Yuan Xiao found the scriptures quite hard to understand, and just then, Jiang Ziya came along. It wanted to have Old Jiang explain them to it.
"Let me read it to you?"
Yuan Xiao nodded, but the action wasn't very decisive.
Old Jiang pondered for a moment, "You can't read, are you looking to learn how to?"
This time, Yuan Xiao shook her head and raised two fingers proudly, indicating that she knew two characters.
Old Jiang also couldn't figure out whether this meant that Yuan Xiao knew only "two characters" or knew many characters.
He understood the principle of a seven-rank official at the Prime Minister's gate all too well; anything in front of a sage, no matter what it is, can never go wrong if you try to please it with all your heart.
He had a solid foundation, and the scripture Yun Xiao gave Yuan Xiao wasn't a sacred scripture or any secret method, just a common Yellow Charts scripture. As soon as he opened the book, he started to explain.
After about an hour, Qingluan came to notify that Nuwa wanted to see them.
Seeing Old Jiang tell stories to Yuan Xiao while explaining the scriptures, her attitude involuntarily improved by two degrees.
Yun Xiao and Yuan Xiao have a good relationship, and Deng Changyu watched them grow up as well. They have to give them face.
"Old Jiang, please take this guy to one side and play. The holy mother has summoned."
"Yes, please guide the way."
Yuan Xiao gave a respectful bow to Old Jiang and thanked him for the one hour of lecturing. She moved quickly to climb up the tree, and then ran down, coming back to Old Jiang's front again with a red fruit in her hand.
"Is this for me?"
Yuan Xiao nodded.
Old Jiang couldn't help but look at Qingluan.
Qingluan laughed lightly: "The Daoist friend is fortunate. This is a fruit from the Primordial Mulberry Tree. A mortal who eats one will be reborn into an immortal, and a celestial who eats it will enhance their five-element qi. It is a top-notch treasure of the primal era."
The Primordial Mulberry Tree blooms, bears fruit, and matures every five thousand years, and it takes another five thousand years to produce a batch of fruits. Nuwa and Deng Changyu found this process too slow. After consulting with the Primordial Mulberry Tree, they used the divinity's power to make it produce one fruit every ten years. Now, it was exactly ten years since the last fruiting.
Deng Changyu has eaten the Mulberry fruit before, and it has little effect after eating it again. Recently, she has been eating fruits from the Jade Purity Palace. Nuwa hasn't even tasted it, just taking a fresh one. After that, she didn't care anymore. The last ten-year fruit was given to Yun Xiao, who then gave it to Yuan Xiao. Eventually, it fell into the hands of Jiang Ziya.
