Chapter 23: Live Ascension Day 23: Xu Zhilan is so easy to coax. ...

"So he's called Long Aotian? After so much time, I finally know the name of this destined one."

"You didn't take the surname of Master Xu or that fellow Taoist teacher?"

"He is originally from the dragon clan, so he can be named Long."

"This is a grand name!"

…

Shi Xianyu took the flat pot handed to him by Xu Zhilan and drank several mouthfuls of water in succession before the itchiness in his throat was finally suppressed.

Isn’t it a grand name?

Without incredible luck, it would be impossible to suppress the various causes and effects brought about by this name!

Xu Zhilan's attention has always been on Shi Xianyu, so he naturally knew that the other party became strange after hearing Xiaolong's name.

Then he asked, "What's wrong? Is there something wrong?"

Hearing this, Shi Xianyu nodded silently, but he really didn't know where to start, and it was not convenient to explain in detail in public.

I had no choice but to take out the jade mirror.

Find the master from inside, and then search accurately for the three words "Long Aotian".

Soon, dense information appeared in the jade mirror.

This included his master's various instructions to stay away from Long Aotian, as well as the occasional speeches from Long Aotian.

'I want this day to never cover my eyes again!'

'Since you reject my love, try my hatred!'

'Oh, you're playing with fire!'

'Good you've got my attention.'

'My fate is in my own hands!'

…

Xu Zhilan carefully read through all the information shown by Shi Xianyu, and also read through all the stories Meng Hongfan told about the three or five people who had Long Aotian's domineering and forced love.

After a while, he finally gave his evaluation: "This person has a very unique mind."

Master Xianyu could only smile.

Who makes my future son want to be such a unique person?

Young people probably have more ideas.

Behind the curtain of the sky, everyone in front of the secret realm was talking about the young man Long Aotian.

Master Xianyu was numb after hearing this.

Even though the jade mirror repeatedly sent him messages from his master, he could calmly reply with three words: You named it.

I guess I'm in the wrong.

The information on the jade mirror was all refreshed to remind him to be careful in the secret realm, and repeatedly emphasized that saving his life was important.

Just as Master Xian Yu had finished perfunctorily dealing with his teacher, spiritual energy from all directions began to move, and the secret realm of Lindu appeared.

Immediately afterwards, flying boats from various major sects crossed the sky.

There were also many fairy beasts driving by.

Well, it was the grand scene he imagined.

But it has nothing to do with him now.

Thinking of this, Shi Xianyu glanced at Xu Zhilan who was squeezed with him on a low stool in the small stall.

Logically speaking, even if Xu Zhilan was not in the sect's flying boat at this time, he would definitely be waiting in front of the passage on his sword.

Who would have thought that this little monk would actually lure her into the crowd of ordinary people.

The cause and effect in this world are truly wonderful.

"Let's not rush in. Let's sit for a while. It's crowded in the front." Shi Xianyu handed Xu Zhilan a new fruit as if watching a show.

Sit in a row and eat fruit.

Anyway, no one recognizes them, so it’s not a big problem!

"good."

Xu Zhilan answered obediently.

Anyway, in the eyes of Master Xianyu, he is very well behaved.

He was very satisfied and picked out a bigger and rounder one, ready to be served to the other party after he finished eating.

Time passes slowly.

There were fewer and fewer monks visiting the stalls, and many small stalls were packed up.

Shi Xianyu felt that it was about right. After thanking the medical practitioner, he pulled Xu Zhilan to the entrance of the secret passage.

In fact, there are still quite a few monks entering now.

But there is no need to wait any longer.

Their identities were relatively clean, with nothing shameful to show. It seemed more normal for them to go in with other ordinary monks.

Soon we arrived at the entrance of the passage.

There are still many monks staying here. They are in groups of three or five, and it can be seen that they are planning to form a team to enter the secret realm.

If Master Xianyu's fate had not been revealed by Tianmu, he would have been among those fellow cultivators.

There are indeed more things to do when there are more people, but the power is also relatively greater.

Finding a few reliable companions to enter the secret realm can sometimes bring more hope.

Even if I die, there will be more people who can become ghosts together!

Now, Shi Xianyu no longer has to worry about finding a team or companions.

His companions are more reliable than almost all the cultivators in the world.

Geniuses like Xu Zhilan all take the same solo route as Long Aotian to enter the secret realm.

Not to mention anything else.

He also got this good fortune.

Shi Xianyu did not waste any time. Seeing that it was getting late, he held Xu Zhilan's arm tightly with both hands and walked into the corridor.

I’m tight because I’m afraid of getting lost.

Holding hands is a unique way for female cultivators to express intimacy.

After so many days, he has long been accustomed to such actions and does not feel embarrassed at all. He even thinks that his disguise acting skills have reached perfection.

If it’s fun and you like to play, just play.

After entering the passage, the space changes rapidly.

My eyes went dark and then bright.

Shi Xianyu and Xu Zhilan were already thousands of feet in the sky. This height was not the same as that of ordinary sword flying, and it was even more dangerous than the position of Xiaolong in the sky.

If they fall down, they will be seriously injured if not killed.

You know, there are cultivators in the world of cultivation who have killed themselves by flying their swords.

Of course, this is only limited to the foundation-building level and below.

Xu Zhilan reacted quickly.

As soon as he emerged from the secret realm, he embraced Master Xianyu in his arms and adjusted his back downwards.

The posture and movements are exactly the same as those of the little dragon in the sky.

…

Master Xianyu looked at Xu Zhilan with a complicated expression.

Then, he silently took out the flying kite magic weapon from the storage bag, first climbed up with half of his body, and then pulled Xu Zhilan up.

Why don't you use your body to resist when you have magic tools?

Is this the strong and tough dragon clan?

Even if the magic weapon cannot fly normally after being infused with spiritual power, the kite itself can glide briefly in the air, relieve some of the force, and then use the magic weapon as a cushion to land safely without injury.

Just as Master Xianyu planned.

The flying kite crashed, and the two of them landed safely.

It’s a pity that this mid-grade flying kite magic weapon would not have ended up like this if it were capable of flying in the secret realm.

Master Xianyu observed a second of silence for the magic weapon.

He then quickly collected the fragments of Fei Yuan's body, planning to find an opportunity to send them to his less wealthy weapon-repairing friend as materials when he left the secret realm.

Reuse waste and never waste any cultivation resources.

After doing all this, Shi Xianyu recalled the scene he had just seen on the flying kite. After asking Xu Zhilan for his opinion, he chose a place where there seemed to be a mountain range and walked towards it.

The Lindu Secret Realm is very worthy of the word "Lin" that comes with it.

There were densely packed towering trees in all directions. Even when falling from mid-air, all you could see was the same emerald green.

As a small world, the secret realm is full of spiritual energy and vitality everywhere, even ordinary plants and trees are imbued with some spiritual meaning.

Master Yu Cai and Xu Zhilan had been walking for less than half a minute when they saw several patches of spiritual herbs growing in clusters.

He plucked a few and examined them carefully. They were all over a hundred years old.

Even ordinary spiritual herbs can be sold at a good price outside.

Just walk and stop.

When it was getting dark, I found a shallow pond. The surrounding area was very muddy, but there were many soul-gathering grasses that looked like weeds.

This was only discovered after Master Xianyu took a stick and used his spiritual energy to probe a few times.

Soul-gathering grass is a good thing.

Although it's generally difficult for cultivators who defy fate to have another life, there's still a chance. Furthermore, there are countless cultivators who have died unnatural deaths, and their souls, if they have the opportunity, can transform into ghosts, take over other people's bodies, or stay somewhere...

In short, the Soul Gathering Grass can be used in all of them.

The older it is, the rarer it is, the better its effect in nourishing the soul and gathering spirit is, and it is priceless.

Master Xianyu looked carefully and found that this piece of soul-gathering grass was at least a hundred years old, and the best ones were even ten thousand years old!

He rubbed his hands happily.

He found the relevant books from the storage bag, carefully confirmed the picking steps, took out the special gloves, and gave a pair to Xu Zhilan.

He then pulled the man into the shallow pool.

The two picked the fruits strictly according to the instructions in the book, and kept an eye on their surroundings at all times to prevent any accidents.

It was completely dark and only half of the food had been taken.

"Almost done. I've kept two ten-thousand-year-old plants, and there are still some thousand-year-old ones. Give them a chance to continue growing."

Master Xian Yu has always adhered to the principle of leaving a little room for opportunity when he encounters it.

Otherwise, if they are all taken away now, what will we do in the future?

Not to mention anything else, he still has a son named Long Aotian a thousand years later, so he has to give his son some opportunities to discover good things.

Xu Zhilan had no objection to this.

However, when dividing the picked soul-gathering herbs, he had some other ideas. He only kept a few and planned to give the rest to Shi Xianyu.

But in the end, he was unable to hold his own against Master Xianyu and could only follow him in silence.

"I know you've seen a lot of good things and don't take them seriously, but you picked them yourself, so there's no need for you to give them to me. It's not like I haven't picked some. Okay, okay, you take them. If I need them anytime, I'll definitely ask you for them..."

Master Xianyu fumbled in his storage bag for a long time but couldn't find any fruit.

He had no choice but to find a bottle of pills he had been practicing for fun and said, "This is a dessert version of the Fasting Pill I made some time ago. I'm too embarrassed to show it to others, so you're the first one to know about it. Does it look like a flower? Try it."

Xu Zhilan took the bottle of medicine and poured most of it into his palm. In the dim moonlight, he identified the golden petals that were so tender that they looked like they were pinched by a child.

Didn't say anything.

I picked it up and tasted it.

"How about it?"

Shi Xianyu took the opportunity to move back to Xu Zhilan, stood close to him, and took a look at the petal pills in the other's hand, feeling very curious.

After a while, Xu Zhilan finally spoke: "It smells like osmanthus."

Shi Xianyu vaguely remembered that he had indeed added some osmanthus flowers. Thinking of this, he became even more curious about the taste, so he reached out and took one from Xu Zhilan's palm and put it in his mouth.

The sweet taste of osmanthus melts on your lips.

I was immediately happy.

He picked up another one and put it in his mouth. "I knew I had a good idea. This is so delicious! But why do I feel like the more I eat, the more I want to eat. It seems that I am getting hungrier. Could it be that some of the medicinal properties in it are conflicting? Do you ever feel this way when you're hungry?"

"Maybe it's too delicious." Xu Zhilan answered seriously.

Shi Xianyu looked at Xu Zhilan who had put another pill into his mouth, unable to suppress the smile on his lips. He nodded and said, "Yes, that's a possibility! Then we have to taste it more carefully..."

So easy to coax.

Immortal fruits are fine, and elixirs are also fine.

Next time he picks a piece of grass from the roadside and weaves a ring, saying it’s specially made, maybe it will work.
