Chapter 38: The Three Pure Ones Sect Leader Tongtian Patted...
Tongtian Patriarch clapped his hands and said proudly, "How about it? This formation is interesting, isn't it?"
Fu Li nodded repeatedly: "It really works!"
Tongtian Patriarch looked at her in surprise, and for the first time realized the uniqueness of this disciple.
He built the oven himself, although it was also for the sake of satisfying his appetite, but more importantly, it was to stimulate his young disciple's interest in learning the formation.
After all, among the three sects of Xuanmen, the Human Sect is good at refining pills, the Orthodox Sect is good at refining weapons, and their Jie Sect's specialty is formations.
Not to mention his direct disciples, even among his registered disciples, whoever can be named has no experience in battle formations?
He knew that Zhao Gongming, the outer sect's chief disciple, while also knowledgeable in formations, was primarily interested in commerce. He was genuinely worried that once he had a disciple of his own, he would become obsessed with teaching only commerce and forget about the Jie Sect's core skills.
But now it seems that although it is a little different from what he expected, the purpose of inspiring his disciples' interest in learning formations seems to have been achieved.
Zhao Gongming had already sent his mount, Black Tiger, back to Emei to get flour, corn flour, various bean flours, a can of sugar, and various ingredients that could be found in this era.
As for honey, Lingzhixian is good at beekeeping and often uses honey to honor his teacher or to do favors among fellow disciples. There is no shortage of honey on Jinao Island.
Fu Licao used his spiritual energy to control the oven's formation to make pastries. Zhao Gongming took this opportunity to tell his teacher about his apprentice's idea.
Tongtian Sect Master loved new things the most. After hearing this, he sent a message to his two brothers without saying a word, inviting them to go to Jin'ao Island.
Taoist Master Taiqing only has one disciple, and he is not in the disaster this time, so he does not feel any pressure at all. He just makes pills for fun every day.
When he received Tongtian's invitation, he had just collected a furnace of fifth-grade Qingling Pills. He hung the gourd containing the pills on his waist and came riding on a green ox.
Yuanshi Tianzun arrived later, for no other reason than his grand travels: he rode in a nine-dragon sandalwood chariot, pulled by nine golden dragons. White cranes and blue phoenixes led the way, followed by a pair of red phoenixes. Fairy children played music on his left and right, and powerful warriors accompanied him.
This is what an emperor’s tour of inspection looks like.
Moreover, Yuanshi Tianzun’s pomp and circumstance are all flying in the sky, which can be regarded as an upgraded version of the emperor on earth.
Before he arrived, the sound of ethereal and moving string music reached him. Hearing the music, Tongtian Sect Master smiled and said, "Second brother is here. Big brother, wait a moment. I'll take Gongming to greet him, so he won't scold me again."
"Go ahead," the Taiqing Saint warned. "Your second brother means you no harm, he just likes to talk. Don't argue with him."
——So that the old Taoist priest won’t have to suffer as well.
It is not easy to play the role of peacemaker between two younger brothers. After doing this many times, even the Saint Taiqing was afraid.
Tongtian Patriarch waved his hand casually: "Don't worry, big brother."
Sage Taiqing: It’s hard for me to feel at ease with you like this.
But the person had already left, and he had no chance to give any more instructions.
Tongtian Jiaozhu took Zhao Gongming to greet Yuanshi Tianzun, and met Duobao halfway. Apparently, he had also heard the music and was about to go to greet him.
"Teacher." Duobao saluted.
Zhao Gongming quickly followed: "Senior Brother Duobao."
Duobao alone is difficult enough to deal with, and now a high-end version of Duobao has arrived. Zhao Gongming doesn't want to be different at all, for fear of attracting the attention of his second uncle.
Although he was a human, most of the disciples of the Jiejiao sect were lively and noisy under the influence of Tongtian Patriarch. When they were in Kunlun Mountain, they gave Yuanshi Tianzun a headache.
The consequences that gave him a headache were definitely not what Zhao Gongming wanted.
When he was at his most suicidal, Second Uncle-Master caught him and lectured him for fifty years. Fifty years, without a single intermission, made Zhao Gongming nervous at the mere mention of Second Uncle-Master.
Knowing what Duobao was going to do, Tongtian Patriarch was both angry and amused. He pointed at him and said, "I should have left you in Kunlun Mountain when we moved back then."
Duobao said sternly, "Teacher, you are wrong. When the teacher is busy, the disciple must do the hard work. The teacher has moved to Jin'ao Island, and as the first disciple, I naturally have to serve him. How can I be lazy?"
Tongtian Patriarch: "...Okay, don't keep Second Brother waiting any longer."
After saying that, he left without giving Duobao a chance to speak.
Zhao Gongming smiled awkwardly, "Brother Duobao, please go first."
Duobao didn't take it seriously, mainly because he was used to it. He said calmly, "Let's go together, brothers."
"I will listen to you, senior brother." Zhao Gongming did not refute a single word, but when he left, he left half of his body behind Duobao.
—Just kidding, those who joined early all received etiquette training in Kunlun Mountain. Whether they like using it or not is one thing, whether they understand it or not is another.
As the three of them reached the shore, Yuanshi Tianzun's procession descended from the sky. The white crane and blue phoenix that led the way circled twice in the air before transforming into two young boys standing on either side.
The two red phoenixes attached to the back were transformed into sculptures on the fragrant carriage, standing trembling on the shaft.
"Second brother." Tongtian Patriarch called out, and without his signal, Duobao Taoist took the initiative to step forward, lifted the curtain of the carriage, and helped Yuanshi Tianzun out.
At that moment, Tongtian Patriarch and Zhao Gongming had the same expression: they subconsciously curled their lips, secretly cursing Duobao for his flattery. Then they quickly restrained themselves, looking as if nothing had happened.
Yuanshi Tianzun was dressed in a white robe and had a headband with a double dragon spitting pearls on his forehead. Although his hair was loose, it did not look messy at all, which only added a touch of elegance to his solemn demeanor.
Duobao and his fellow disciples bowed solemnly to him. He raised his hand to excuse them, then stepped forward and lectured Tongtian with a hint of reluctance: "Didn't I tell you last time? The great calamity is about to begin. You should just focus on cultivating in peace on Jin'ao Island and avoid being involved in the karma of the outside world."
Tongtian Patriarch was used to being lectured by him, so he didn't take it seriously. He walked forward, took his hand, and walked forward, saying with a smile, "I remember everything you said, second brother. Isn't it that something important has suddenly happened? If this matter can't be resolved, I will be very anxious. Even if I can sit down, my heart will not be at peace."
For people like them, if their minds are not at peace, they will surely attract inner demons.
Hearing his serious words, Yuanshi Tianzun frowned, and even couldn't wait to see Laozi, so he asked, "What's going on? Did Luo Hou's remaining soul escape again and come to disturb you?"
"No, no, second brother, you are worrying too much. There is something else." Tongtian waved his hands quickly, asking his second brother not to misunderstand.
He just wanted to make the matter sound more serious so as to avoid a lecture, but he didn't mean to scare his brother for fun. Scare his brother is not fun, he will definitely be taught a lesson.
Hearing that it wasn't Luo Hou, Yuanshi Tianzun obviously relaxed, and guessed a little about his third brother's thoughts. He endured it for a while and said nothing in the end, ready to see what Tongtian's intentions were.
When the group reached Wujiya, Yuanshi Tianzun first paid his respects to Laozi. After Laozi stood up and returned the greeting, Zhao Gongming immediately said, "Three Masters, I will go and see if I have finished. I am sorry for the loss. Please forgive me."
Tongtian saw that he was about to run away and immediately tried to stop him. However, Zhao Gongming was very experienced and did not give him a chance. He quickly retreated three steps, turned around and fled.
"Hey you……"
The next moment, he met his second brother's dark eyes, and his arrogance immediately disappeared. He said to save his dignity: "I asked him to tell his disciple that the eldest and second brothers are here, so make a few more."
"Okay, okay, we brothers haven't seen each other for many years. Let's sit down and have a good talk." Laozi quickly tried to smooth things over and interrupted Yuanshi Tianzun's words.
Yuanshi Tianzun sneered, but didn't want to offend his elder brother. He asked coldly, "Why did you call us here so eagerly? What's the problem?"
=====
As for Zhao Gongming, he didn't need Tongtian Jiaozhu to remind him. After finding his disciple who was busy, he immediately said, "Slow down, slow down, do a few more things, don't rush, don't rush."
Fu Li asked curiously, "Teacher, what's wrong?"
He looked so frightened that if you didn't know him, you would think he was a mortal who had just escaped from a dangerous situation.
"Hey, don't mention it." Zhao Gongming waved his hand. "You heard that celestial music just now, didn't you? Second Master is here."
Thinking of how he looked when he faced Master Duobao, Fu Li seemed to understand something.
——The upgraded version of the dean of studies is here.
The master and his apprentice were dawdling over making cakes. After they finished two, they would order the water and fire boy to bring them over. Then, they would dawdling over and continue making cakes.
When the materials they had brought were almost used up, the Water and Fire Boy came over with a boy wearing feathered clothes and a crane cloak with a bun hanging down his head and said to Fu Li, "Senior Sister Fu Li, my master invites you to meet him at Wujiya."
Zhao Gongming spoke first, "So it's Baihe Tong'er. Why did Second Uncle suddenly want to meet this young man?"
Fu Li understood: So this is the White Crane Boy from Kunlun Mountain.
The White Crane Boy smiled and said, "Master only told me to come and invite Senior Sister, and didn't say anything else."
He looked at Fu Li with some curiosity, his big eyes flickering, not at all like the serious and formal look of Master Duobao.
Looking at the innocent and lively White Crane Boy, Fu Li's interest in Yuanshi Tianzun suddenly decreased a lot.
Baihe Tongzi has always been serving Yuanshi Tianzun closely. As a close servant, he has been able to maintain such a mentality for so many years. It seems that even though Yuanshi Tianzun attaches great importance to rules, he is definitely not as completely unkind as Zhao Gongming said.
She was only afraid of the dean. If it was just a serious teacher, Fu Li would not be afraid at all.
"Since Master Yuqing has summoned me, I shall go and pay my respects." She put her hands together, changed her clothes, and asked her teacher, suppressing a smile, "Are you going too?"
Zhao Gongming immediately stepped back, cleared his throat, and said seriously, "Master, I won't go. If you leave, someone will have to clean up this mess."
Fu Li didn't expose him. She nodded seriously and followed his words, "Then I'll trouble you here, Teacher. I'll go and pay my respects to the leaders first."
"Go, go." Zhao Gongming waved his hand and urged her to leave quickly. But the moment she took a step, his conscience came to his senses and he said, "Wait a minute."
Fu Li and Bai He Tongzi turned their heads at the same time, with the same curiosity in their eyes.
Zhao Gongming reacted: "No...nothing. When I'm around the leaders, I have to behave properly."
Fu Li smiled: "Don't worry, teacher."
Watching her leave with the White Crane Boy, Zhao Gongming said with deep sorrow, "My disciple, it's not that I'm unrighteous, I'm just afraid of getting into trouble!"
