Chapter 29 Chapter 29 Who can be selfless, who doesn't care about feelings? ...
Who dares to answer this? !
"No, no, nothing. It's just that I admire the way of the sword. It's not time for Meifeng to go there."
"Yes, yes. Moreover, Junior Brother Bai has activated the Sword Plum Blossom. He was born to reach the Plum Blossom Peak."
“We’ve heard about it, too…”
"Really?" Huo Xuexiang naturally didn't believe it completely. He also knew that people like Xue Danxing always wanted to recruit Bai Lu into the peak, so these disciples spread the rumor that Bai Lu should be in other lineages.
As for Bai Lu's wishes... He only has Bai Lu as his disciple. The sect master and other peak masters often say that he is too indulgent towards his disciples. Huo Xue speculated that perhaps this made others think that he was forcing Bai Lu to stay?
Bai Lu also looked at it curiously. Ahahaha, you guys didn't take the opportunity to play crickets just now, and my master just happened to hear it, what an idiot. I stayed at Dianmei Peak because I was smart and saw the silk book at a glance.
He gloated for a while, then suddenly remembered that his friends were also unlucky. He looked at his classmates who were like quails, and quickly pulled his master, "Forget it, Master, don't ask them."
He lowered his head to think, and decided to be a great man and sacrifice himself for his friend. He raised his head and said firmly, "Ask me a few questions about cultivation."
Huo Xuexiang had no intention of making things difficult for those disciples, but seeing how he seemed to be enduring pain, he almost laughed and lowered his head slightly, "Okay then."
Bai Lu listened to the question with tears in her eyes...
Liang Mangu secretly gave Bai Lu a look of gratitude. He is worthy of being our Senior Brother Bai. He really has the responsibility of a senior brother!
In any case, Bai Lu's act of carrying her master with her scared everyone.
Fortunately, after Huo Xuexiang was offline, Bai Lu told everyone: "My master has something to do and will not stay on the wooden puppet all the time."
Liang Mangu breathed a sigh of relief, "Really?"
Bai Lu nodded: "Yes, it should be to get up early to supervise me to do my homework, eat something with me in the afternoon, and urge me to go to bed early at night..."
Everyone: “…………”
The spirit of the weapon shouted out what everyone was afraid to say: "This is outrageous!!"
What kind of master and disciple are you?
…
The flight to Huanhuazhou is a long journey, and even Luo Luo needs to stop and rest several times, especially at the border between the two continents, where he must pause.
This is a strait called Liuxian Gorge.
Luo Luo was slowly descending, and Bai Lu looked down.
This is the place where the two continents are closest to each other. From this angle, you can already see the land of Huanhua Island in the distance. Unlike Zhongxiu Island, Huanhua Island is like spring all year round, with flowers blooming all the time, so it looks bright and beautiful from a distance.
But in the middle, in the strait that serves as a dividing line, the dark sea water is unfathomable, forming a sharp contrast with the flowers.
Several ships were traveling on the sea, fully loaded with passengers and cargo, and from a distance they looked like a tiny speck.
At the same time, Ning Yanhu said, "We have to go to Wanxiangfang first to buy time to cross the sea, otherwise it will be difficult to cross the sea. Liuxian Gorge only has a short time to cross the sea every day, and the time is changing every day.
"This Wanxiangfang shop is spread across six or seven continents, and it does a great business, specializing in the sale of elixirs and magical instruments needed by all kinds of cultivators. This branch was opened here, and we also invited a powerful fortune teller to calculate the time every day. It only costs a few spirit stones, saving the time of fortune-telling and verification."
Bai Lu looked at the busy dock and felt strange: "If crossing the sea is so difficult, why is the cargo transportation here so busy? And I see their ship is moving very slowly. Is it really necessary to calculate the time? Why don't we go with them now?"
"Because they are mortals." Huo Xuexiang came over and said, "The boats only ferry the mortals, but not the immortals. This is the scenery of Liuxian Gorge."
"It means that only cultivators need to calculate the passage of time, while mortals can just do it casually?" Bai Lu tried to do some reading comprehension.
Since Bai Lu came to the world of immortal cultivation, he has heard many stories, but basically, the immortal cultivators have the advantage over mortals. After all, those with a slightly lower realm are just cannon fodder. The trend of immortal cultivation is particularly prevalent here, and even if mortals cannot join the immortal sect, they will try to refine their own qi.
Not only Bai Lu, but other indigenous students were also not clear about this matter. After all, there are twelve continents in the world and they only live in a corner. They have no television or internet, so they have no way of knowing many things. They all gather together to listen to stories told by their predecessors.
"This Liuxian Gorge was originally a natural moat in ancient times. No matter what creatures come here, they will become dizzy and fall into the sea. Therefore, even aquatic creatures cannot survive here. Only those who have cultivated to the level of Feixian can cross the sea freely. If fishermen accidentally come to this water area, they will die... drown.
"It is said that one year there was a natural disaster and the harvest was completely lost. A large number of mortals gathered and wanted to take a detour across the sea to seek a way out on the other side of the fertile land but sparsely populated Huanhua Island. A cultivator from the Feixian Realm saw this and led them across the sea.
"Once there is one, there will be another. Day after day, he helped people cross the sea and led those who strayed into the sea back to the right path. After a long time, this cultivator had a great aspiration and threw himself into the sea, calming the sea with his spirit. From then on, ordinary people could cross the sea on their own, but other cultivators who did not reach that level could only calculate the time, so it was named Liuxian Strait."
"Although the Zhenhai monk jumped into the sea, his spirit and soul are indestructible, making him an earthly immortal. According to legend, he was also the earliest Taoist who accumulated virtues."
Bai Lu was crowded with other students beside her, silently listening to Jian Zun's guide words, with a little confusion in her eyes. Why did Jian Zun speak in plain language...
There was one part where they were going to say death, but they changed it to drowning? ?
Only Bai Lu smiled secretly, and she knew why.
But Bai Lu still had another question: "What is the Way of Accumulating Good Deeds?"
Meng Caiqing also knew this. Her senior sister had told her about it. She said loudly, "Those who accumulate good deeds are not from a sect, but from a school with few followers. Most of them are independent practitioners. They believe that only by accumulating good deeds and cultivating merits can they become immortals. Therefore, they travel around the world doing good deeds, and they don't care about who they are doing good deeds for."
"Isn't that good? We in Xuanshan also say we want to teach the world a lesson, so why do they have so few people?" Liang Mangu asked.
Ning Yanhu shook his head and said, "Only when you are full of good deeds can you get the true teachings. If you do three thousand good deeds, you can build a foundation. If you do three thousand good deeds, you will build a foundation, and it does not limit your physique.
"It sounds simple at first, but in fact, if there is a slight mistake or lack of virtue, all the previous efforts will be wasted. Moreover, if one has too strong a purpose and accumulates good deeds for the sake of attaining the Tao, it is easy to deviate from the principle of cultivating the mind and become hypocritical. Therefore, there are almost no young monks who choose to accumulate good deeds. Who dares to say that they are not ashamed of the gods and have no regrets?
"The Way of Accumulating Good Deeds and the Way of Being Merciless are the same. They sound simple at first, but they are actually the two most difficult paths in the world of cultivating immortals. Some people call them the two most difficult paths in cultivating immortals."
Who can be selfless, who doesn't care about feelings?
Everyone was simply astonished. The world of immortal cultivation was so vast that there were all kinds of practitioners.
Bai Lu nodded ignorantly. Cultivating immortality is really a very idealistic thing.
So, do I have my own path? Where should I look for it?
At this time, Luo Luo landed and Huo Xuexiang was also offline.
The wooden puppet followed Bai Lu closely.
The sea breeze was blowing, and it was clearly a very good climate. It was very pleasant to walk along the beach. Bai Lu looked at the quiet sea water and couldn't help but quietly try to communicate with the water element there...
"ah!!"
Bai Lu screamed and subconsciously called out: "Master!!"
When the others heard Bai Lu suddenly yell, they all looked over in shock. Why did their eyes turn red? They even startled Jian Zun, "What's wrong? What's wrong?"
The wooden puppet's originally lifeless eyes suddenly brightened up. Huo Xuexiang, who had been offline for a while, reappeared and tilted his head to look at Bai Lu: "What's the matter?"
Just now he wanted to communicate with the water element here, but he didn't expect that he didn't use the spiritual power of a cultivator but used wizard's techniques, and he seemed to be punished by the energy here.
A violent wave of water element struck his spirit directly, causing him to feel a sharp pain instantly, causing him to cry out.
Such violent water...
Bai Lu was stared at by everyone, and for a moment she regretted shouting out loud. She couldn't say that he went to communicate with the water element of Liuxian Gorge, so she raised her hand to rub her eyes and said, "No, nothing, it's just a strong wind, I feel like I'm eating sand..."
Everyone: “…”
Just for this matter, you call out the Sword Master again, right?
Jian Zun didn't mind his disciple being troublesome, and handed Bai Lu a handkerchief: "It's windy at the seaside, cover your mouth and nose."
"Thank you, Master." Bai Lu covered her mouth and said in a muffled voice, "It's okay, Master, then you can go back."
In a blink of an eye, seeing that others were still staring at her, Bai Lu waved her hands: "It's okay, it's okay, don't worry."
"...Junior brother." Ning Yanhu called softly.
Bai Lu was confused: "Hmm?"
"Forget it, let's go." Ning Yanhu didn't want to continue talking. She tried her best to resist the urge to ask about the gossip.
Bai Lu looked around in confusion, not knowing why the senior sister always looked like she wanted to say something but hesitated. She just accidentally called out "Master" again, and she didn't run into their Cricket Master.
Putting aside his doubts, Bai Lu looked back at Liuxian Gorge in surprise as he walked. This was the first time he felt the temper of the local high-level energy. It seemed that he could not communicate at all...
This was not Ning Yanhu's first time in Liuxianxia. She had been to Huanhuazhou for business before. She was familiar with the place and led everyone to the Wanxiangfang branch.
Because there are many mortals here, the buildings of Wanxiangfang are hidden in places that mortals cannot see using formations.
This is the shortest road between Huanhuazhou and Zhongxiuzhou. Many monks pass by here. Not only do they need to buy time, but because of the different climates and customs of the two continents, many monks will go to Wanxiangfang to purchase items before coming here or leaving.
Bai Lu stood in front of Wanxiang Pavilion. What a beautiful oriental pavilion there was. There were bells on the eaves that rang. It was more luxurious than Shuchun Garden, but not as good as the mausoleum in Qinglong Town... And, what other words were there?
Apply for World Heritage, you should also apply for World Heritage...
The manager of Wanxiangfang had a fair complexion and smiling eyes, and was very friendly. He bowed slightly to greet them, "The Immortal Xuanshan has arrived. I'm sorry for not welcoming you from afar."
"Manager Zhu, please be polite. I just come to buy an hour." Ning Yanhu exchanged a few words with the manager. Wherever the Xuanshan Immortal Sect goes, everyone has to give them some face.
Manager Zhu took them around to the backyard, where there was a very tall flag used to monitor the wind and waves at sea. The fortune tellers hired by Wanxiangfang also made calculations here day and night.
He took the time and told Ning Yanhu that there was still a long time and he could stay in the guest room of Wanxiangfang for a while. Wanxiangfang also provided inn services.
"That's troublesome." Ning Yanhu arranged for everyone to rest.
Manager Zhu stood with his hands in his sleeves, watching the disciples of Xuanshan Immortal Sect pass by one by one. Each of them nodded with a smile and occasionally said, "Thank you for your hard work on the journey."
Bai Lu heard him say to Ning Yanhu: "There is a treasure appreciation party in the market today, it might be a little noisy, fairy, please forgive me."
On the way to Bailu, I heard Liang Mangu say that the so-called treasure appreciation meeting in Wanxiangfang was actually a public auction.
When Wanxiangfang got some good things, it would send out invitations to hold treasure appreciation parties. If you want to enter without an invitation, you have to verify your capital. Some people will also cooperate to buy other people's invitations. It is different from the market they want to go to, both of which are buying and selling, but they are two different situations.
Ning Yanhu was very skilled in speaking in clichés, saying that we were the ones who disturbed him.
Manager Zhu took out a golden invitation and said what he really wanted to say with a smile: "If you have time, you can come and have a look, Immortals of Xuanshan."
"I wish that the manager has surpassed me in business. Your Wanxiangfang has countless treasures. If I take a fancy to any of them, I will have to spend all my money." Ning Yanhu said with a smile.
"How could that be? If the fairy likes something, we will give her the lowest price." How could Manager Zhu not know the value of the Xuanshan Immortal Sect? Ning Yanhu is the disciple of the sect master, so how could he be short of good things?
It was obvious at first glance that these disciples were going to participate in the Red Dust Trial. He hoped that someone would take a fancy to his magic weapons and bring them to the competition so as to promote them.
Ning Yanhu took the invitation back and saw that the faces of the new junior brothers and sisters were full of curiosity. He threw the invitation to them and said, "Why, do you want to go and see it?"
There were almost two words written on her face: fishing.
But the willing ones took the bait, and everyone came up at once, some pounding their shoulders, some pinching their hands. It was mainly because the newest disciples had never seen it before and wanted to join in the fun, and they could just watch if they couldn't afford it.
Bai Lu jumped up, grabbed the invitation with her agility, ran to the side holding it high in her hand, and proudly unfolded it while surrounded by her classmates.
Bai Lu: “…”
Oh my god, I almost died of anger.
Wanxiangfang is too pretentious! Using seal characters... Bai Lu angrily threw it to Liang Mangu.
Liang Mangu didn’t understand. What was he so angry about?
He unfolded the invitation and read it out loud as he read it: "Dear guest: We have chosen the auspicious time of midnight to hold a treasure appreciation party in Wanxiang Square. We hope you will show your favor."
There was even a map at the back, directing everyone how to get to Vientiane Square. Of course, they had already arrived at Vientiane Square.
Liang Mangu read the auction list again: "One furnace of Soul-Returning Incense, one plant of Half-Glory Grass, and a first-class weapon refiner to refine the Qingming Pill Furnace..."
The others were all listening to the discussion about the magic weapons. Although Xuanshan also had countless treasures, Wanxiangfang was famous all over the world, so it must have its own unique features.
"Sister, go and have a look!" Bai Lu pulled Ning Yanhu, "My master gave me a lot of spirit stones, what do you want later——"
Ning Yanhu: "Hmm?"
Bai Lu: "I'll lend you money on behalf of my master to buy it."
Ning Yanhu: "...Thank you so much."
"You're welcome, you're welcome." Bai Lu couldn't help his master treat the meal, so it would be reasonable for him to spend on his own.
…
Since we're out, why not take a look around? A few seniors weren't interested, so Ning Yanhu took the rest to the treasure viewing party.
Just one post attracted more than ten people and a big fat bird.
The servant in green clothes who was standing by initially wondered why so many people were participating in the contest, but later he found out that they were from Xuanshan Immortal Sect.
Here each post will be assigned to a private room. After entering, there will be refreshing snacks on the table.
The young servant in green stood guard at the door. After a while, a blue-eyed monk poked his head out. The young servant bowed and asked, "What does the distinguished guest need?"
The servant was very nervous, fearing that he would not be able to meet the needs of Xuanshan's distinguished guest.
"Oh, give us some more, we've finished eating." The blue-eyed monk handed over a tray and said naturally.
Servants: “?”
His eyes widened, because these tea cakes were basically just for display. Even if they contained spiritual energy, few cultivators would eat them. Those who could come to Wanxiangfang to participate in the treasure appreciation must be wealthy. The Xuanshan Immortal Sect should have practiced fasting long ago. How could they care about this little spiritual energy when they were in a Feng Shui treasure land?
"Why, we are here to visit, can't we have a snack?" The blue-eyed monk said unhappily.
"Uh, no, please wait a moment, sir. I'll be there right away." The servant took the tray and ran away.
The other party was still admonishing from behind: "Decorate more, we have more people."
"Speak softly, for the sake of our Xuanshan monks' reputation... Alas." Ning Yanhu said, holding his forehead.
After eating two rounds of this, I heard a bell outside, and the treasure-viewing party was about to begin. From the window, I could see a lot of streams of light in the sky. I guess they were the monks invited to the party. At least one-third of them had concealed their appearance, and some of the rest might have disguised themselves as well.
Bai Lu peeled open an orange while watching Manager Zhu walk up to the stage. She bowed to everyone and said, "Today, Wanxiangfang is honored to hold a treasure appreciation party. I hope you all don't want to listen to my nagging. Then, please welcome the first collection of today—"
Two servants brought up the auction item, which was a magical herb that was about to bloom.
Manager Zhu displayed the magic grass in all aspects and read relevant books to prove how rare it was and how effective it was. He even said that if customers did not know how to train it after taking the photo, they could pay Wanxiangfang to solve the problem, which would definitely solve the problem in one step.
Bai Lu listened to it and although it was a good thing, he felt it was not worth spending too much money on it. There were also many magical herbs in Xuanshan.
Sure enough, Luoluo Bird sniffed it and said, "We also planted it in Xuanshan, but we didn't expect it to be sold at such a high price outside."
The weapon spirit even transformed into a human form, sat on the railing, and asked nonchalantly and critically: "Do you have any good stuff? Bring me a weapon to see."
Bai Lu complained in her heart, I want you to cause trouble for me...
The auction price of Wanxiangfang's treasure auction is calculated by jade chips, which are exclusive to auctions. One jade chip is equivalent to tens of thousands of spiritual stones, and can also be exchanged for other spiritual herbs, magic tools and Wanxiangfang. This is to facilitate the final settlement, so the specific value of the jade chip will also fluctuate according to the price and exchange rate at the time.
Anyone who wants to pay can hit the small chime in the private room. If you hit it once, you will get one more jade token. If you hit the small chime next to it, you will get ten more. But this is rare because one jade token is worth a lot of money.
The magic grass was sold at the price of ten jade chips.
After looking at a few items, Bai Lu showed no interest as they were too simple in style, so she just watched the fun with her classmates.
The eighth item in our collection, Manager Zhu introduced, "This is what our monks from Wanxiang Square went through untold hardships to obtain from the secret realm of inheritance. It is the relic of an ancient monk, containing magic tools, secret scrolls, and robes. This monk is at the level of the Three Unspeakable Realms, and the things he left behind, as you can imagine, must be of great value!"
After hearing the first half, Bai Lu couldn't help but ask, "What is the inheritance secret realm? Is it considered tomb robbing in the world of immortal cultivation?"
Ning Yanhu: “?”
The classmates laughed when they heard this, yes, that’s kind of what it meant.
At this time, the servant brought up some things. There were several items, packaged as a whole set for sale. Several items were placed on a jade plate. It was still in a very simple style, but it immediately attracted Bai Lu's attention. She immediately stopped laughing with the classmates next to her.
He stared at the object intently. The so-called "secret scroll" was clearly a silk book with an ancient style, which was quite similar to the one he had in his hand. From this distance, he could even vaguely see that there was a similar star map drawn on the silk book!
Bai Lu's heart began to beat fast. Could this have anything to do with his share?
