Yuxu Palace, lecture room.

After Master Ziwei finished his lecture, the disciples were about to leave when they heard the Master say:

"Qiu Changtian, Xu Yinglian stays."

Under the surprised gazes of their senior brothers and sisters, the two of them sat upright on the cushions, with calm expressions and not uttering a word.

After everyone in the lecture room had left, Master Ziwei closed his eyes and waved the whisk in his hand, saying:

"Qiu Changtian."

"Disciple is here." Qiu Changtian said respectfully.

"We both came from Kunlun, so we should help each other out of righteousness." Master Ziwei said slowly, "This is a very good idea."

Even though Qiu Changtian's skill in pretending to be cool has almost reached the highest level, he couldn't help but feel very upset at this moment.

Master Ziwei ignored his embarrassment and continued:

"We, Kunlun Taiqing Sect, and Penglai Yuqing Temple, both originated from the ancient teachings, so we also maintain the habit of visiting each other regularly."

"Tomorrow morning, I will be invited to visit the East China Sea to discuss many matters between the two sects."

"According to convention, both parties will also arrange for elite Foundation Establishment disciples to meet to enhance understanding and build connections."

"Previous visitors were all disciples who had reached the Great Perfection of the Transformation Palace Stage. However, considering that both of you often go out for training, you should go with me this time and see the world together."

Qiu Changtian: ...

Xu Yinglian: ...

See the world? I'm familiar with Penglai, what's there to see? Qiu Changtian thought to himself.

Master, do you think I usually go out with my senior brothers to practice? Well, actually I am just soaking in Kunlun Spring. Xu Yinglian thought to himself.

Of course, it was impossible for both of them to reveal the truth to their master on the spot, so they could only nod in agreement.

Soon it was the next day.

Since it is a long-distance flight, it is naturally impossible to fly a sword.

Everyone came to the square in front of Yuxu Palace. Master Ziwei took out a model of a treasure ship from his sleeve and threw it forward.

The treasure ship grew longer and longer against the wind, and in a flash it was more than a hundred meters long.

A group of immortals and disciples followed the master into the boat. Among them, Qiu Changtian and Xu Yinglian, who had the lowest cultivation, naturally received another round of astonished gazes.

From Kunlun to Penglai, it is almost nine thousand miles, but the flight actually did not take long.

In this world, boat-type magical weapons are the fastest, even faster than flying swords.

Around dusk, the treasure ship finally arrived at Penglai Island. The master of Yuqing Temple and a group of elders came out to greet them and led the Kunlun delegation into the Yuqing Temple residence.

Qiu Changtian followed the team of disciples and saw Sect Leader Ziwei having a cordial conversation with Elder Shiding in front of him, as if they had known each other for a long time.

He calmly withdrew his gaze, and heard Sister Xu beside him ask:

"Brother, it seems that this is not the first time you come here?"

Qiu Changtian smiled faintly and said:

"Why do you say that?"

"Because senior brother is too boring." Xu Yinglian pointed around.

Following her direction, Qiu Changtian saw his senior brothers and sisters at the Huafu level looking around with great interest, looking here and there.

After all, in Kunlun Shangqing Sect, the inner disciples are almost all stay-at-home guys and girls, who stay in their own isolated caves in the snowy mountains and practice for a hundred years without leaving the mountain.

It is normal to be attracted by the vast scenery that you have never seen before when you come to an island sect for the first time.

Not only the Kunlun disciples, but also the Penglai disciples who came to greet them from both sides, looked at these "fellow disciples of the Chan sect" from the Western Snow Ridge with eyes full of inquiry and curiosity.

Judging from their attire, most of the Kunlun disciples wore white or sky-blue Taoist robes with loose clothes and long sleeves, carried flying swords on their backs, and had their hair tied up on top of their heads and fixed with tall crowns, appearing extremely dignified and solemn.

The disciples of Penglai, on the other hand, mainly wore brocade clothes with narrow sleeves, without wearing crowns, and wore various magical weapons around their waists, such as formation flags, talisman bags, etc. They looked more like rich young men and women out for a picnic.

The two sides looked at each other. No matter what they were thinking, they could not be rude on the surface and just smiled.

The welcoming banquet was held in the main hall of Yuqing Temple, and disciples from both factions were arranged to sit together to facilitate getting to know each other and making friends.

Qiu Changtian and Xu Yinglian found a seat and sat down. They saw all kinds of delicacies on the table, mostly cold dishes, various meats, vegetables and fruits, thin slices and thick soups.

Although practitioners have already gone on a fast and have been eating only wind and drinking dew, it is okay to eat something occasionally, and they can then refine the turbid air in their stomachs.

Qiu Changtian picked up the peaches from the plate and ate them slowly. He found them to be juicy, tender and extremely sweet.

It was much more delicious than the fruit snacks that Luo Yan usually had at Miss Shi's place.

"This is not a peach from the mortal world." A female voice said beside him, "It is a peach seedling that was grown among spiritual herbs, and it bears fruit after being bathed in the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. It tastes sweet. Although it cannot prolong life, it can cleanse the body and mind."

Qiu Changtian turned his head to look to the side, and was immediately shocked.

It’s actually Shi Liuli!

At this moment, the young lady, who was originally fearless, was sitting on his left like a lady, looking at him with admiring and enthusiastic eyes.

To be precise, it's not like love at first sight between a man and a woman.

It's more like some kind of inexplicable emotion like a fan seeing his idol.

Qiu Changtian instinctively felt that something was very wrong, but in order not to reveal his flaws, he could only pretend to be a stranger and asked with a smile:

"May I ask, fellow Taoist, who is..."

"Yuqing Temple, Shi Liuli." Shi Liuli smiled slightly and continued, "Fellow Daoist Qiu, Senior Sister Bilian once told me that in the past in the Qinling Mountains, it was you who broke the Yimu Dragon Trapping Formation and rescued our Yuqing Temple disciples, right?"

After she said this, combined with Luo Yan's understanding of Miss Shi, Qiu Changtian immediately understood.

It must be that after Bilian returned, she boasted about her heroic deeds that day in front of Shi Liuli.

Shi Liuli has a typical girlish mentality. She admires the strong and hates mediocrity. She is also a senior member of the Appearance Association.

I heard that Qiu Changtian, the chief senior brother of Kunlun's generation, is handsome, gentle, and capable. Wouldn't you be interested immediately?

It's time to test your acting skills! Qiu Changtian said reservedly:

"It was just luck, not worth mentioning. Seven out of ten formations in the world belong to Penglai, I, Qiu Changtian, dare not show off my skills in front of an expert."

"Fellow Daoist Qiu is too modest." Shi Liuli said with a smile, "This art of formation is extremely obscure. Even in our Yuqing Temple, there are only a few cultivators who study Qimen Dunjia."

This was indeed true. Luo Yan had stayed in Yuqing Temple for a long time and knew that the most researched subject in the temple was actually alchemy, followed by talismans.

There are no more than three shops like Tiangongfang that specialize in making tools in the entire Yuqing Temple. As for those that study formations, there are probably only seven or eight.

"It's not a fluke that Fellow Daoist Qiu was able to break the Yimu Dragon Trapping Formation. It requires profound knowledge of formations." Seeing that Qiu Changtian had no intention of being complacent, Shi Liuli became more interested in him and said with a smile, "Even my junior brother who studies formations and makes cauldrons probably hasn't mastered the solution to the Yimu Dragon Trapping Formation."

No, he actually already mastered it...

Qiu Changtian tried to remain calm and didn't want to continue on this topic.

You know, his appearance and facial features are exactly the same as Luo Yan's.

It was just that Luo Yan had squinty eyes, Qiu Changtian wore his hair tied up in a high crown, and the temperament modification and mental suggestion of Mirror Flowers and Water Moon made Shi Liuli fail to immediately discover the similarities between him and Luo Yan.

But what if she continues to discuss Luo Yan with me and suddenly notices the flaw in his appearance?

We must change the subject immediately!

Qiu Changtian suddenly moved aside and introduced Junior Sister Xu who was sitting on his right to Shi Liuli:

"By the way, this is my junior sister Xu Yinglian."

Xu Yinglian was drinking tea at this time, and heard Shi Liuli say across from him:

"Oh, Fairy Phoenix? Haha, I've heard of your name for a long time."

The hint of hostility in the tone immediately aroused Xu Yinglian's competitive spirit.

"Shi Liuli?" she asked coldly, "Fellow Daoist, are you Elder Shi Ding's beloved daughter?"

"I never thought that Fairy Phoenix would know about this." Shi Liuli said modestly, "I am so lucky."

"You're welcome." Xu Yinglian said calmly, "After all, she is the daughter of Elder Shi Ding."

After emphasizing "the daughter of Elder Shi Ding" twice in succession, Shi Liuli immediately heard the sarcasm in the words (she is good for nothing except having a good father), and she couldn't hold back her expression for a moment.
