Xu Jiujun lay on the mountain for a whole night. When he woke up the next day, he felt a huge pressure on himself, and the discomfort forced him to open his eyes.
Upon closer inspection, he found that it was this group of geese that had fallen asleep on him at some point. There were more than a dozen geese in total, leaning on both sides of Xu Jiujun, and two brave ones were pressing on Xu Jiujun's chest.
Somehow, Xu Jiujun suddenly felt that these geese were very cute, especially those that were lying down and sleeping with their mouths drooling.
The plump feathers as white as snow made Xu Jiujun unable to help but rub them a few times. It felt really good.
Suddenly, Xu Jiujun heard some movement behind him and said bluntly: "Shuang'er, come out."
"Hehe, Master, how did you know it was me?" Li Lingshuang chuckled, not expecting that even the slightest movement could be heard by her master.
"I just woke up. My ears are very sensitive when I'm asleep or just woke up. I don't know who it is, but I think you're the only one who would come to find me."
After Xu Jiujun finished explaining, he glanced at Li Lingshuang, who was hesitant to speak, and said with a smile, "Just tell me what you want to say."
Li Lingshuang said, "Master, you saved many people yesterday. They all want to visit you today and are waiting at the gate of the Nine Emperors Palace."
Hearing this, Xu Jiujun frowned. Seeing this, Li Lingshuang said, "Master, I'll just refuse directly. Your cultivation hasn't recovered yet. What if someone has a grudge against you and wants to kill you?"
"It's too dangerous."
"It's okay. You're still here." Xu Jiujun picked up the goose that looked the most pleasing to the eye and went down the mountain.
Li Lingshuang conveyed Xu Jiujun's intention to the disciples guarding the mountain gate, and the disciples guarding the mountain let them go up the mountain.
"Master, just wait in the temple. They will be here soon."
"Okay." Xu Jiujun nodded, and suddenly glanced at Jiutian Xianshan and asked, "Where's Xu Pingnian? I haven't seen him for a long time."
"In normal times, he... before you even arrived, he had already joined forces with other disciples to resolve the crisis in the spiritual realm, but they suffered a tragic backlash, and now no one knows where he is..."
"Missing?" Xu Jiujun asked with a frown.
"yes......"
"Did you see him disappear with your own eyes?"
"Disciple saw him fall to the bottom of the broken cliff with my own eyes, but I don't know exactly where. The Palace Master has sent people out to look for him, but there is no news yet." Li Lingshuang looked worried.
Xu Jiujun smiled and told her not to worry: "Xu Pingnian is a lucky guy with a long life, don't be afraid."
"Besides, I want to see the person alive or the body dead."
"With his level of cultivation, he would be fine after being hit by two rocks. He's probably recuperating somewhere now. Maybe he can find some good opportunities."
"Master, you are so optimistic." Li Lingshuang felt relieved after hearing that.
"It's not that I'm optimistic, it's that you're too worried." Xu Jiujun smiled slightly and didn't fully express his opinion.
That is, according to the routine, there is no injury if there is smoke, and you won't die if you fall off a cliff.
Xu Jiujun sat in the main hall, just like he was more than two hundred years ago, with no cultivation and white hair.
However, now there are many disciples in Jiutian Xianshan, and it is bustling with people, unlike that time when I was alone without a master.
For more than two hundred years, Xu Jiujun only felt like he was dreaming. Now he woke up and his cultivation was gone. If Li Lingshuang was not standing beside him, Xu Jiujun would really think that this was just a big dream.
"The Liu family of Dongzhou has come to pay homage to the Savior!"
"The Ouyang family of Nanzhou pays homage to the Heavenly Savior!"
Suddenly, many noises were heard outside the door. Xu Jiujun waved his hand, signaling Li Lingshuang to open the door.
After the door opened, Xu Jiujun saw a group of people standing at the door, each holding a gift box in their hands.
What’s interesting is that each of these people is an elderly person, and each of them is accompanied by one or two young boys and girls.
Xu Jiujun saw through the group's thoughts at a glance and said, "Come in, everyone."
For a moment, everyone hesitated when they heard Xu Jiujun's old voice. When they saw Xu Jiujun, they looked at him carefully. After confirming that it was Xu Jiujun, they all looked surprised.
"Savior, you..."
"I saved too many worlds, and my cultivation has been dissipated."
"Is it still worth your visit in my current state?" Xu Jiujun joked.
"Lord Savior, what you said is true. No matter what you are like, as long as your body is fine, it's fine." There was an old man who was smart enough. Seeing Xu Jiujun like this, he was still very respectful.
The reason is simple. Even if Xu Jiujun's cultivation was completely lost, it is certain that he saved the Lingyi Realm twice. Even if he died, he would be buried with great ceremony.
Moreover, although his disciples are not as powerful as him, they are also the pinnacle of the fairy world and can ascend to the divine world. They cannot afford to offend them.
Finally, Xu Jiujun’s lack of cultivation might just be temporary; the fact that he survived shows how powerful he is.
In this world, harmony is the most important thing. What's the point of being sarcastic? It's better to make friends with Xu Jiujun sincerely. Maybe there will be better rewards in the future. There are many people who add icing on the cake, but few who provide timely help.
Anyone with a normal mind would not offend Xu Jiujun just for the sake of verbal pleasure.
"Yes, Tianzun, you don't need to worry. Because of your actions, there are no more evil spirits in the spiritual world now, and the world is peaceful."
"We old men are all grateful and want to repay our gratitude. Please take care of yourself, Tianzun. Here are some thousand-year-old immortal medicines. These are just our tokens of appreciation. If Tianzun can use them, that would be even better."
These old men all spoke with great discretion, knowing how to speak in a way that would not offend the masters while making them feel at ease to accept their things.
But Xu Jiujun waved his hand, signaling them to take their things back, and said, "Are you here this time because you want me to accept them as my disciples?"
The old people looked at each other in surprise when they heard this. They didn't expect Xu Jiujun to be so straightforward. After a silence for a while, they had to admit it reluctantly. They would have to say it sooner or later anyway, so they might as well say it now.
"I hope the Heavenly Venerable will accept my grandson. He has been gifted since childhood. He is only sixteen this year, but he has already reached the Golden Core Stage."
"Tianzun, my granddaughter is even more talented. Relying solely on the secret manual left by our ancestors, she was able to reach the Nascent Soul stage at the age of fifteen."
"Tianzun, I..."
Xu Jiujun listened to them chattering there, but he didn't find it annoying. Instead, he watched them talking with great interest.
After they finished speaking, Xu Jiujun asked Li Lingshuang to keep these disciples and decide whether to keep them after testing their talents.
At the same time, a tiny black light quietly flashed across the sky of the spiritual world.
No one noticed the black light, which carried a terrifying evil aura.
