Speaking of this, Luo Jiujiang rubbed his chin and said, "Maybe you will find him quite familiar."
The Five Elements Spirit nodded. He didn't have any feelings about the name yet, but he had already heard the first half of Luo Jiujiang's joke. After tilting his head and thinking for a while, he shyly handed the small ball of his true body to Luo Jiujiang, suitable for Luo Jiujiang to hold.
"I would listen to my brother and protect him... Well, I remember I was very, very powerful. I could change into many different shapes and even smash the heads of birds and wild beasts!"
"..." Considering the era in which the Five Elements Essence once existed and the identity of the master who controlled it, Luo Jiujiang felt that he had reason to suspect that the unlucky guy whose head was smashed by this little guy was the Phoenix and the Nine Clans?
The weight of the Five Elements Essence was heavy. Luo Jiujiang weighed it twice and felt that it was not impossible to smash the Nine Clans' skulls with gravity alone. Of course, for Luo Jiujiang, who had already reached the Nascent Soul stage, this weight was nothing.
With a slight thought, a silvery-white sphere of the Five Elements' essence, resembling a metallic substance, transformed in his palm into a long sword that looked exactly like Cheng Xue's. Luo Jiujiang tested it on a large rock nearby and found it to be just as sharp and smooth as Cheng Xue's, perhaps even slightly inferior.
"So impressive." Luo Jiujiang teased the Five Elements Spirit, "Now I won't dare to underestimate you."
The spirit of the five elements opened its eyes wide with joy and lifted its little chest high.
"I can still run very fast!" said the Five Elements Spirit excitedly.
He took his original form back from Luo Jiujiang and threw it to the ground, transforming it into a ball again. The ball grew in the wind, and its diameter was as long as half of Luo Jiujiang's height.
The Five Elements Spirit jumped onto its own body and stepped on the ball all the way forward. Just in front of him was a gently sloping downhill slope, and Luo Jiujiang watched helplessly as the Five Elements Spirit stepped on the big ball and rolled down all the way. The ball crashed into trees and crushed rocks. In the blink of an eye, it had flattened the ground and created a wide and smooth road!
Luo Jiujiang: “…”
He recalled his guess when he first came out of the mountain: Come to think of it, they couldn't have really rolled all the way from the east of the holy land to the westernmost part.
Just as Luo Jiujiang was about to pull back his brother, who he had just met and looked like he had been raised in a circus, a voice suddenly rang out from behind him: "Mr. Luo?"
The voice was neither light nor heavy, and the surprise in the tone seemed to have been measured with a ruler. One more would seem inappropriate, and one less would sound indifferent. Only now that the surprise reached just the right level, a certain mechanical stiffness could not help but leak out.
Luo Jiujiang turned around and looked at himself, his brows relaxed, and he said with a smile: "Qinghui, Master Dong? So you are here."
Yue Qinghui was also beaming upon seeing Luo Jiujiang. They were old friends from their time on the Seven Islands, and they had a lot to talk about. As they clapped their hands over each other's shoulders and chatted about their current situation, Luo Jiujiang realized that he lived in the chaos without counting the days and months. He controlled the moon's rise and set for only seventy or eighty days, while a year had already passed outside.
After the two of them finished talking, Dong Shuangyu chose the perfect moment to interrupt. "I noticed that Young Master Luo looked a little hurried just now. Are you looking for someone? If you're looking for Palace Master Han, I had the pleasure of meeting him seven days ago. I took the liberty to ask him a few questions then. If what Palace Master Han said is correct, he should be at Butterfly Spring in the south right now."
Being beside Han Qianling was like Luo Jiujiang's home. As soon as Luo Jiujiang heard Qianling's whereabouts, he was eager to go home, and even the thought of pulling Yue Qinghui for a few drinks faded.
Dong Shuangyu was a person who was very good at reading people's expressions. Luo Jiujiang had just started to feel like saying goodbye, and before he could even show it on his face, Dong Shuangyu tugged at Qinghui's clothes and said, "Mr. Luo seems to have important matters to attend to. In that case, Qinghui and I will not be keeping you here for long."
Luo Jiujiang smiled sheepishly at Dong Yue and the others, but he didn't hide his frank longing for Qian Ling. He thanked Dong Shuangyu for telling him about Qian Ling's itinerary, and quickly caught up with the Five Elements Spirit in two or three steps. He grabbed him and headed in the direction Dong Shuangyu had pointed.
Only Dong Shuangyu was left standing behind Luo Jiujiang, silently bidding farewell, looking mysterious.
Only after Luo Jiujiang left did Dong Shuangyu slowly put her hands into her wide sleeves.
"Mr. Luo's heart is not here, so it's not appropriate to talk today." Dong Shuangyu spoke first without waiting for Yue Qinghui beside him to ask.
Looking at his completely unworldly appearance, how could he look like he had come all the way here specially and been lingering nearby, waiting for Luo Jiujiang for seven or eight days?
Yue Qinghui frowned, looking a little annoyed at not being able to keep Luo Jiujiang. "But didn't you say you had some advice for Jiujiang? Jiujiang certainly wouldn't mind a few words."
"Since it's not something you can listen to, then there's no need to bother talking about it." Dong Shuangyu shook his head slightly: "I just think it's a pity."
"What?" Yue Qinghui looked at Dong Shuangyu nervously, "Shuangyu, you don't want to tell them anymore? But you said that warning is very important to them."
Dong Shuangyu answered this question very patiently: "I only regret that I couldn't keep Young Master Luo here. I will find Palace Master Han and Young Master Luo to say this again. Although it is the same sentence, the meaning will be completely different when it is said to different people."
"..." Yue Qinghui frowned even deeper, with obvious confusion in his eyes.
"Palace Master Han is too authoritative within the Holy Land, and Young Master Luo trusts her too much." Dong Shuangyu turned around and slowly walked in the opposite direction of Luo Jiujiang. "In terms of attitude alone, Palace Master Han is ten times more humble than Young Master Luo, but a hundred Palace Masters put together wouldn't be as willing to listen as one Young Master Luo."
"I wanted to advise him that the darkest part is the darkest, but I doubt he'd listen." Dong Shuangyu said this with a look of insight. "But besides Master Luo, who else in the world is worthy of his admonition?"
