Chapter 306 Communication (2)

Another prominent reclusive family in Danzhou, He Tan, from the blessed land of Wanshui, who specializes in cultivating spiritual trees, attained immortality and is now known as the Immortal Lord of Ten Thousand Trees.

In the blessed land of Langhuan at the end of Gushui, there is a bird cultivator named Yingxiu who makes a living by helping cultivators fulfill their long-cherished wishes. He has already attained the Path of Prayer and is known as the Wish-Fulfilling Immortal Lord.

......

In just five years, more than fifty Immortal Lords have emerged across the land of Kyushu. Although nearly twenty have been killed for various reasons, thirty-two Immortal Lords still stand.

Jiao Jue stayed in the Shoudao Palace every day, and hearing so many voices from Gulin proving the Dao, he thought that perhaps the Dao had just been opened, and it was easy to attain it.

The more he thought about it, the less he could wait. Seeing that Ji Rong had emerged from seclusion and that the "Corpse Technique" was now fully mastered, and that he had nothing else of importance except for being a little tired, he naturally wanted to leave and pursue his immortal dreams.

Jiao Jue handed Ji Rong over to Ji Zhuang and Gu Qingqing to take care of, and then acted like the master of the house. He called on the old Taoist Gu Lin, who had already come up the mountain, to go up to Yunya together.

During this period, Qingpingzi would personally visit Shoudao Mountain every year to inquire about Ji Rong's condition, and Gulin would stay on Shoudao Mountain every day without leaving.

After Qingpingzi took a liking to him and spoke to Qingguangzi, Qingguangzi naturally gave the position of head of the Kundan Room in Gulin to Biexiu Shouduo, who was in charge of managing the Kundan Room.

However, Gu Lin did not go directly to Yunya to handle matters. Instead, he found Qingpingzi, bowed respectfully, and told Qingpingzi frankly that he wanted to stay at Shoudao Palace to wait for Ji Rong to come out of seclusion.

He said that Juejun and his party were guests, and that Shoudao Palace had always only had Qing Jizi, with no other cultivators handling miscellaneous affairs.

Therefore, he decided to stay here and wait for Ji Rong to come out before going up to Yunya.

This explanation naturally pleased Qingpingzi.

Therefore, Qingpingzi asked Qingguangzi for the position of the head of the Lidanfang, the palace-guarding monk Hesui, to oversee the banquet at Yunya.

Chao Qingqizi asked his fifth disciple, Jin Xi, the emperor of the Celestial Race, to serve him.

He dispatched Yuan Xiuke Ben from Qilou and She Shu from Zhenlou to Qing Guanzi's place to help him guard the mountain gate and manage the food and lodging business at the missionary conference, and also to have the two of them take care of Qing Guanzi in his old age.

They also asked Hou Jia, the Monkey King of Zhen Valley, and Yi Tuan, the Bee King of Puppet Valley, to take charge of the daily maintenance of the Octagonal Palace.

Although five years is a short time, under the management of He Sui and Jin Xi, Yun Ya has undergone a complete transformation. Numbered cloud-shaped houses now sit side by side, supported by lotus petals.

The maintenance workers who come from afar and won't be leaving for a day or two will be arranged to rest in these cloud rooms.

The very center of the lotus platform became Qingpingzi's daily meeting place and temporary residence.

When He Sui saw Jiao Jue and Gu Lin coming towards Yun Ya from afar, she quickly climbed over to Qing Pingzi, who was looking at the visiting cards, and slapped Qing Pingzi's toes with her palm.

Seeing Qingpingzi lower his head to look at her, she happily said, "Uncle-Master, Junior Brother Gulin has brought Juejun up."

Upon hearing this, Jin Xi immediately got up and ran out to greet them.

Upon hearing this, Kiyohira's eyes lit up, and he asked, "Has Kiyohime come?"

He Sui shook his head and said, "I did not see my martial uncle."

She glanced at Qingpingzi's pleased face, grinned, and asked cautiously, "Uncle-Master, now that everything at Yunya is settled and Junior Brother Gulin has arrived, may I return to the Lidan Room to take a look?"

Qingpingzi looked at Hesui and said calmly, "Sui, I've heard your master say that you are best at hosting banquets, but you lack talent in alchemy; you can only rely on diligence."

Although you have improved many pill formulas, the original formulas came from Shan Zhongfeng of the Blood Pill Workshop.

Since your alchemy room is already being managed by your disciples, let the younger generation have fun on their own.

If you're really itching to refine a few batches of new pills, I'll allow you to visit the Blood Pill Workshop in your spare time. I'm sure Junior Sister Qing Ji Zi would be happy for you to go, and that spendthrift Tiger Mountain's center forward would certainly welcome you and treat you with the utmost respect."

He Sui opened his mouth, wanting to say that he was now engrossed in the path of alchemy and had long since lost interest in holding a banquet.

But the words just wouldn't come out.

The words Qing Guangzi had said when he summoned her to this place flashed through her mind: "Sui, my old bones and brain are no longer capable of becoming the palace master and attaining immortality."

But you're different. You're much younger than me, and my senior brother values ​​you highly. You must stay by his side, learn more skills, and attain immortality as soon as possible!

"Well, staying on Cloud Cliff isn't so bad, at least my master allows me to practice alchemy," He Sui comforted himself.

But years of hard work had made He Sui realize just how busy Yun Ya was. He himself didn't have much free time throughout the year to go out and refine elixirs, except for the three months he could rest when Qing Pingzi was lecturing.

But during those three months, all those simpletons from the Blood Pill Workshop went out to listen to Qingpingzi's sermons. If she went there... Ah! He Sui's eyes suddenly lit up. She thought to herself, "If they all go out, then I can refine the entire Blood Pill Workshop by myself for three months!"

Thinking this, He Sui was very happy, and when he got up and picked up the spiritual fruit, he seemed to move lightly and nimbly.

Jin Xi led Jiao Jue and Gu Lin to sit down in front of Qing Pingzi's cloud-shaped table, and He Sui then came with various kinds of spiritual fruit juice on his head.

Qingpingzi looked at Gulin and asked, "Has your Uncle-Master Qingji woken up?"

Gu Linchao Qingpingzi bowed respectfully and said, "Uncle-Master's magic has been mastered. He woke up for a while and then fell asleep again."

Upon hearing this, Qingpingzi nodded slightly, and then looked at Jiaojue and said, "Lord Jue, do you want me to invite Lord Yuan down for a chat?"

The horned beast clasped its two front paws together and said, "Yes."

Qingpingzi nodded and handed an invitation to Jiaojue, saying, "You've come at the right time. Yuanjun is about to hold a banquet, and tonight He will personally come to see the quality of Xiaguang Wine."

Jin Xi, take Jue Jun to settle in first. We'll invite Jue Jun over again after Yuan Jun descends this evening.

Jin Xi said "yes" and then led Jiao Jue into the cloud house.

Qingpingzi looked at Gu Lin, pointed to the pile of invitations on the cloud-shaped table, and said, "Nephew Gu, don't be shy, I'll leave these matters to you."

The old Taoist priest Gu Lin nodded respectfully to Qing Pingzi. He resigned himself to reading through the pile of invitations, and then said to Qing Pingzi, "Does Master Uncle want me to categorize these invitations?"

Qingpingzi wagged his tail and said, "From now on, I will only preach the Dao. As for daily interactions, you and Jinxi can handle them." With that, he parted the clouds and headed towards his golden cave.

That night, as the moon gradually sank to the top of the cloud cliff, Yuanjun arrived as promised, accompanied by many moon spirits, singing and dancing joyfully in the darkness.

Jiao Jue had never seen a Yuanjun like this before, and couldn't help but take another look.

Qingpingzi personally presented them with a pot of newly brewed Xia Guang wine.

Yuanjun took a sip and praised with satisfaction, "This wine is even better than aged wine. Although it lacks mellowness, it has a strong fresh flavor."

Then, holding the jade pot, he looked at the jade and smiled, "What brings you here today, Lord Jue?"

Jiao Jue respectfully said, "It was Senior Qingpingzi who asked you to come down. I wish to learn about ancient methods from you, so I have been waiting here."

"Oh?" Upon hearing that it was an ancient method, Yuanjun immediately became interested and said happily, "Jade Lord, please tell me."
