Chapter 30 Sign in to Baihua Valley
That morning, Zhou An was still running around Qianjing to sign in. The Drunken Taoist's wooden sign suddenly vibrated. He flew onto a roof and sat down. He took out the wooden sign and the Drunken Taoist's portrait appeared in front of him in the Xuan Guang Mirror.
"My dear friend Zhou Nan, there is a business deal here. Would you like to get involved?" The drunk Taoist was still as cynical as before, with a wine gourd always in his hand.
"Senior, you've started a business too! Are you making money for drinking?" Zhou An joked.
"This old man doesn't have that ability. You should have mastered the sword-flying technique almost enough. This is a good opportunity to buy a good flying sword with money. Do you want it?" The drunk Taoist asked after taking a sip of wine.
"Okay, where is it? I'll be there right away." Zhou An showed his joy. He was in need of these good things right now. Things that could be solved with money were not a problem.
"The tea shop outside the south gate of the city." The drunk Taoist said and closed the door.
Zhou An put away the wooden sign and used the Qiankun Step to fly away.
Arriving at the teahouse, the Drunken Taoist sat there eating braised beef and drinking wine. Although the wine here could not compare with the wine in Zuixianlou, he still drank it with gusto, feeling that it was like nectar.
Seeing the drunk Taoist in a drunken state, he shook his head and smiled helplessly, put down a piece of silver and said, "Let's go."
"Hehe, young man is simply the old man's close friend." The drunk Taoist picked up the full wine gourd, smiled and walked out of the teahouse with him.
Zhou An spread his hands, and the two of them walked to a deserted place. The drunk Taoist grabbed him and released his flying sword into the sky.
Zhou An looked at the flying sword that looked like a wooden sword under his feet and said, "I thought you were flying with a wine gourd."
"Have you ever seen someone flying with a gourd?" the drunk Taoist asked curiously.
Zhou An shook his head and smiled. In his previous life, he had seen a very famous Drunken Swordsman on TV. Whenever he saw the Drunken Taoist, he would sometimes compare the two of them.
"Senior, where are we going this time? There won't be any auction, right?" Zhou An asked curiously.
"How can there be such a thing? You should know about Baihua Valley. They are experiencing a catastrophe right now. All the money they earned was burned by the old demon Kushan. Now they need money to rebuild. I saw that you look very rich. Last time, I even ordered a table of food and wine at Baihua Tower and asked you to come along.
This time they are facing a great disaster. In order to cope with the difficulties, I should give you a sacred wooden sword for the old man's sake.
Don't underestimate this wooden sword, it's a top-grade magic weapon. This is what the old man used back then, it's good enough for you. As for better ones, you'd better wait for other opportunities." The drunk Taoist said.
Zhou An nodded, agreeing with the Drunken Taoist's idea. As a casual cultivator, it was basically not so lucky to get a spiritual treasure at the beginning, so everyone would get something suitable to use at the beginning and wait for the opportunity.
After flying for about half an hour, they arrived in front of a valley filled with white fog. The Drunken Swordsman shouted into the valley, "Zui Daoist Zui of Zhengyi Sect accepts the invitation."
As soon as he finished speaking, a hole appeared in the light curtain in front of him. The drunk Taoist immediately flew in on his sword, and then the hole closed immediately.
The valley is full of flowers, which are in full bloom. In the innermost part, there is a big tree more than 30 meters high. A pure wooden attic is built around the tree, and the treetops grow out from the top of the attic.
When Zhou An arrived at the valley, he received a system prompt to sign in to Baihua Valley and receive a bottle of Baihua Pills, a total of seven pills.
This pill was made by the Baihua Valley over a period of 60 years, collecting the essence of hundreds of flowers. Each pill can increase the cultivation level of an innate cultivator by a hundred years, but the effect will be greatly reduced if you take too much.
The Drunken Taoist flew and landed in front of the attic door, and Madam Taohua and Hua Wu Yue came out to greet him.
Seeing Hua Wu Yue wearing the Hundred Flowers Fairy Robe, Zui Dao Ren showed a surprised expression, and then they greeted each other.
Madam Baihua gestured for them to come in.
Zhou An walked in and received a system prompt again, asking him to sign in at Baihua Pavilion and receive the reward of Liuhua Feiwu.
This is a lost unique skill of the Hundred Flowers Valley, a formation created by the Hundred Flowers Fairy. It only requires one person to perform, releasing flowers flying all over the sky. Each petal is a flying sword. If combined with the formation, it is extremely powerful.
Back then, Fairy Baihua could kill a demon of the same level by herself with just this one move, and she was definitely one of the top ten most powerful people in the world of immortal cultivation at that time.
After reading the system introduction, Zhou An looked around the attic. The hall was somewhat similar to Baihua Tower, or it could be said that Baihua Tower was built in imitation of this place.
After the disciple served the tea, the drunk Taoist said first: "Madam Baihua, at present, all the brothers in my sect are confronting the demons. I am the only one who can come out. The headmaster asked me to take him to say sorry."
"I understand. I am very grateful to the Zhengyi Sect for allowing fellow Taoists to help me. All these coincidences are destined by heaven. You and I don't need to mind them." Madam Baihua didn't care at all, as if the disaster she was about to face had nothing to do with her.
The drunk Taoist sighed and asked, "Madam Baihua, are you really not going to transfer all the Baihua disciples to Qianjing? Now most of the righteous sects have gathered in Qianjing, and even if the Purple River Demon Lord comes, he will not get any good results."
Madam Baihua smiled and said, "Even if you can escape for a while, you can't escape forever. Instead, it will cause countless people to die. Although Baihua Valley is not a big sect, we are not willing to do such a thing. We created the Purple River Demon Lord, so naturally we will bear the consequences ourselves."
The drunk Taoist sighed, pointed at Zhou An beside him and said, "In that case, I won't say any more. I'm here to help the younger generation of Baihua disciples evacuate, and I'll do my best. And the Baihua disciples need to rebuild their homes, and they need gold and silver, so I brought this friend Zhou Nan with me, he's very rich."
Madam Baihua smiled and said, "You are still as kind-hearted as before. Okay, Wu Yue, please get a sacred wood sword for this young friend."
"Yes." Hua Wu Yue left from the side door and quickly brought back a wooden stick made of tree roots. Although it looked very ordinary, one could feel the strong breath of life on it.
Zhou An stood up and took it with both hands, saying, "Thank you, senior. Here are 10 million taels of gold and 500 million taels of silver. Is that enough?"
After Zhou An took the sword, he took out a large stack of gold bills from his arms.
Hearing this number, the drunk Taoists were all shocked. Hua Wu Yue was surprised and took it with both hands and said, "My friend is really... um... very rich."
Madam Baihua did not change her mind at all. She smiled and said, "It's too much. That much money is enough to build a sect like the Zhengyi Sect. Thank you for your generosity. This way, the children will have a good place to live, and I will feel relieved."
The Drunken Taoist had been hanging around in the market for many years and was very sensitive to money. Although he thought Zhou An was rich, he didn't expect him to have so much. He even suspected that this guy had stolen from the national treasury.
"Madam Baihua, when will you set off? Can you choose a place to stay?" The drunk Taoist collected his thoughts and asked again.
"Qian Jing, Wu Yue has now taken over as the Lord of Baihua, and she will be in charge of all arrangements. Wu Yue, if you are ready, leave immediately. My young friend should also leave with Wu Yue and the others. It is not convenient for you to stay any longer now." Madam Baihua said.
The drunk Taoist nodded and said, "My dear Zhou Nan, you and Hua Wu Yue should leave now."
Zhou An asked curiously: "Senior, who exactly is this Purple River Demon Lord you are talking about? How could he make you feel like you are facing a formidable enemy? I wonder if I can help."
"Haha, you're overthinking it. Demon Lord Zihe is an innate eighth-level demon cultivator. We can hardly contend with him. What's the point of you staying? You will only distract us. Let's go." The drunk Taoist waved his hand.
Zhou An was surprised. After stepping into the innate realm, he knew very well how abnormal the eighth level of the innate realm was. So he did not insist any longer. He said goodbye to them and left with Hua Wu Yue.
All the younger disciples of Baihua Valley have gathered at the entrance to the forbidden area in the backyard. After Hua Wu Yue and Zhou An arrived, they saw off the elders of the sect who were there to see them off, and said goodbye to Hua Wu Yue.
“Wu Yue, Hundred Flower Valley will depend on you from now on. It’s not easy for us flower spirits to practice. Fortunately, you have lived in Qianjing for many years and are already familiar with the ways to coexist with humans.” One of the uncles hugged Hua Wu Yue.
Hua Wu Yue controlled her emotions and said reluctantly, "Master uncles and aunts, don't worry. No matter what happens, I will take good care of my junior sisters, and Baihua Valley will definitely be rebuilt."
"Well, you are the best among us. I believe you can do it. Let's go quickly, it's getting late." The elders were worried that Hua Wu Yue and these disciples would be reluctant to leave, so they said that they should all fly back to Baihua Pavilion.
Hua Wu Yue took a deep breath, controlled her emotions again, turned around and said coldly: "Let's go."
The new generation of disciples of Baihua Valley walked into the forbidden area with tears in their eyes. This was another exit of Baihua Valley. Except for the masters of the flowers from all generations, no one knew why this was a forbidden area.
Zhou An followed him into the valley and after walking more than 300 meters, he reached the bottom. A mountain wall blocked his way.
Hua Wu Yue took out the Hundred Flowers Order and pointed it at the stone wall. After a ray of seven-colored light, the light curtain on the stone wall twisted and disappeared, revealing a cave.
She took the lead and walked in, and the others followed. After Zhou An entered, the system sent a message, arriving at the Hundred Flowers Forbidden Land, and signing in to receive the Mysterious Light Sword of Ten Thousand Flowers as a reward.
This is a top-grade spiritual treasure refined by the founder of Baihua Valley, the Fairy Baihua. It is rare in the world. Even Madam Baihua only uses a top-grade spiritual treasure.
This sword, when used in conjunction with the Liuhua Feiwu sword obtained by signing in before, can exert extremely terrifying power. Just imagine the scene of tens of thousands of flying swords attacking at the same time, like a sea and a stream, continuously. Zhou An felt that he absolutely did not want to face such an attack.
When he finished signing in, the system sent another message, lighting up all the Hundred Flowers Valley maps and rewarding him with a copy of the Hundred Flowers Flying Map.
This is a scroll of paintings left behind by the Fairy of Flowers before she passed the ninth calamity. It records everything she learned in her life and is the best method of cultivation for flower spirits.
Zhou An followed the team while reading the system introduction. He was secretly happy, but he couldn't help but complain about Qianjing. He thought the city was too complicated and too big, and signing in was too troublesome. It would be much better to have a city like Baihua Valley, which was simple and convenient.
