Chapter 88: The Saint Gives Special Treatment to Tongtian Sect Master Upon hearing this...
Upon hearing this, Tongtian Patriarch raised his eyebrows and asked, "That's an innate spiritual treasure, and you're willing to give it away?"
The so-called innate spiritual treasures were those born at the beginning of the universe, and they were limited in number. Even the three thousand guests of the Purple Sky Palace, who were of the same generation as the Three Pure Ones, had only seen most of them in combat.
Rumor has it that the Qiankun Ding in the hands of the sage Nuwa can restore the acquired to the innate. But the price to pay is unimaginably high.
Since the tripod came into the hands of Nuwa, it has only been used to mend the sky and create humans, and has accumulated a lot of merits. Nuwa has never thought of using it to create an innate spiritual treasure.
There is no need to explain how precious innate spiritual treasures are. Every time an ownerless one appears in the world, it will attract scrambles from many powerful people.
Lingzhuzi, having obtained such a treasure, had the temerity to not keep it for himself, instead gifting it to Fuli, a fact that had already impressed Tongtian Sect Master. But Fuli, clearly already in possession of it and aware of its value, had also managed to resist the temptation to accept it. Could it be that times had truly changed?
Since when did innate spiritual treasures become so despised?
Fu Li said sternly, "A treasure is only a treasure when it is in the right hands and can maximize its potential. If this Xuanyuan Water Control Flag were in my hands, I wouldn't be able to fully utilize it, and it would only be left to gather dust. If this treasure were aware, I'm afraid it would become so unappreciated that it would shimmer and lose its spiritual power."
Tongtian Patriarch laughed heartily, clapping his hands. He said with great relief, "Very good, very good! My descendants will have such a person. The great Dao of Jiejiao will be passed on!"
He waved to Fuli, motioning her to come forward, and asked her a few questions. Fuli answered them as best she could, using her knowledge.
The leader seemed a little dissatisfied and sighed, "Gong Ming only cares about his own business. I'm afraid he only cares about teaching you that, and hasn't really taught you the core skills of our Jie Sect."
Fu Li also knew that he was very weak in the art of formations. He smiled awkwardly and explained, "I don't blame the teacher. I just like business, and I usually ask questions about that. The teacher always agrees with me, so naturally, he teaches me whatever I want to learn."
Tongtian Patriarch shook his head and sneered, "You don't have to cover up for him. I've taught him for so many years, how could I not know what kind of person he is?"
After hearing this, Fu Li didn't know what to say anymore. She could only purse her lips and smile, pretending to be well-behaved.
Fortunately, the leader did not intend to criticize Zhao Gongming. He just took out a cushion and asked Fu Li to sit down. He explained the basics of the formation to her in a simple and easy-to-understand manner.
Fu Li is naturally intelligent and has a lot of merits to pave the way for her, so she has the green light from heaven when practicing.
Originally, Tongtian Patriarch had been teaching on a whim, but as he continued, he was pleasantly surprised to discover that this child possessed more than just a charisma; his aptitude was even greater. No matter how much he taught, this young disciple was able to quickly grasp and absorb everything he learned. This kind of student was every teacher's ideal!
He couldn't help but feel excited, and the more he talked, the deeper he went. He wished he could pour all the accumulation of his several eras into Fu Li's brain.
But Fu Li's cultivation was far inferior to his, and both her physical and mental strength were limited compared to his. After a month of intense study, she had finally reached her limit.
"Grandmaster, Grandmaster, it's not good to force things. Let's proceed step by step." Fu Li covered his forehead and begged for mercy. Tongtian Sect was still thinking, but he knew he couldn't go on, so he had to stop regretfully.
"Forget it, let's stop here for today." Tongtian Sect Master said, "Go back and think about it yourself. I will continue to preach to you when we meet next time."
Fu Li smiled and said, "Thank you, Master." Then he asked, "By the way, Master, has Lingzhuzi returned?"
Seeing that she was asking Lingzhuzi right after she had some free time, Tongtian Patriarch was a little amused. He raised his eyebrows and raised his chin towards her: "Here, turn around and take a look."
Fu Li turned around as she was told, and saw Lingzhuzi rushing up to her from the mountain in the blink of an eye like an arrow.
It turned out that Lingzhuzi had returned a long time ago, but he saw her listening to the saint's sermon and thought it was a rare opportunity, so he did not disturb her. Instead, he was drafted by the leader to meet Bai Ze who came to investigate in person.
She greeted him joyfully and said angrily, "Why are you in such a hurry? I won't run away."
Lingzhuzi just smiled, took her to say goodbye to the leader, and told her that Huajing Yuanjun was back.
"Really?" Fu Li was overjoyed and could not stay any longer. After getting the leader's approval, he hurried to his master.
Hua Jing Yuanjun's residence was now the center of the town, and the two of them had to pass through the town to get there. Because they didn't use magic, by the time they arrived, Yuanjun had already received the news.
Fu Yue also received the news. Fu Yao and Fu Guang were in seclusion and didn't know that Fu Li had returned.
As for Fu Shuang, she personally led her men on patrol.
As curls of smoke rose from the chimney on the stone roof, Fuli ran straight to the kitchen and shouted happily, "Master!"
Yuanjun was placing a steamed herb tuber on a lotus leaf in the pot when she heard the shout. She turned and smiled at her and said, "It's still early. You and Lingzhuzi can play outside first."
Fu Li walked to the stove with a smile and picked up Fu Yue who was lighting the fire: "I will light the fire for Master."
Yuan Jun waved her away and said disdainfully, "Stop messing around! These things are full of spiritual energy and require very strict cooking temperature."
Fu Li smiled awkwardly and took two steps back to show that she would definitely not get angry.
Fu Yue suppressed a smile and said, "Senior Sister, let me do it."
Fu Li, who was disliked by her own master, turned to look at Ling Zhuzi, who then walked over. Seeing the Fire Control Master coming, Fu Yue immediately backed away: "I'd better go out and memorize the lesson."
A month ago, Fu Li gave her more than 30 rolls of animal skins, each of which had tens of thousands of words recorded on it, not to mention various star maps and tool maps. She still hasn't memorized them all.
Opportunities only come to those who are prepared. She happened to be in a good time. All mortals are not prepared, so naturally they have to be the early bird.
You can't follow Fu Li to the royal capital and still be clueless about how to calculate the weather, right?
Fu Yue ran away in a flash. Yuan Jun had no choice but to ask Ling Zhuzi to light a fire. He pointed to a four-legged stool and said to Fu Li, "Just sit there and behave yourself."
Fu Li said dryly, "Master, my cooking skills are not bad, right?"
Even if she is not a professional, when it comes to novelty, no one in the world can compare with her. Is it necessary to dislike her so much?
Hua Jing Yuanjun worked tirelessly, quickly setting the pot and putting the lid on it. She turned back to her work on the chopping board, saying, "It's not that I dislike you. I learned a new skill on Yingzhou Island, and the food I make can boost your cultivation level with just one bite. It's just that I'm still not very proficient in it, and I'm afraid you'll forget it if you interrupt me."
After hearing this, Fu Li was happy and sat upright on the stool, as well-behaved as a kid in kindergarten.
"Okay, I'll wait and eat."
"Just wait, just wait." Yuanjun laughed and waved the kitchen knife in his hand like the wind. A green strip instantly turned into thin threads of uniform thickness and length.
Fu Li had never seen this before and asked curiously, "Master, what is this?"
Yuanjun said, "Radishes grown on Yingzhou Island." Then she warned her, "Don't talk to me anymore. I'm afraid I'll forget the steps and end up with something different."
"Oh." Fu Li shut up.
For a moment, the only sounds in the kitchen were the "thump thump" of the knife cutting the chopping board and the "crackling" of the flames burning the wood.
In the past, Fu Li wasn't someone who lacked patience, but now, with her two closest people right before her, she couldn't speak, which made her feel extremely suffocated. Her original boredom had now reached a full ten points.
The master was cooking and couldn't be disturbed, so Fu Li went to harass Ling Zhuzi who was making the fire.
She first picked up a small stick that was stretched out, broke off all the branches on it, and threw it at Lingzhuzi's face.
Sensing that something foreign was coming, Lingzhuzi subconsciously reached out to grab it. When he looked down, he saw a small branch. He looked at Fuli helplessly and signaled her with his eyes: Be good and stop making trouble.
It would be strange if she could obey. He smiled silently at Lingzhuzi and reached out to touch the forks he had just thrown on the ground.
Even smaller branches formed a long dragon and flew in front of Lingzhuzi in a fish-like manner, sometimes to the left, sometimes to the right, like a nimble and naughty snake.
Lingzhuzi stretched out his index finger, tapping the snake's head once, left once, then right once, each time, but he did not knock the "snake" down. Instead, he let the "snake" slip away from under his hand like a sly creature.
The two of them were having a lot of fun playing with each other.
Until Hua Jing Yuanjun exclaimed: "My Huang Jing!"
The two men suddenly came to their senses and faced the furious Hua Jing Yuanjun.
Yuanjun's eyebrows were raised, her eyes wide open, and she pointed a kitchen knife at the two of them and said, "Get out, both of you, get out! Tell Fuyue to come in and light the fire!"
The two knew they were in the wrong, looked at each other guiltily, bowed to Yuanjun, and Fuli pulled Lingzhuzi and ran away.
Hua Jing Yuanjun was both angry and amused: "You're really doing more harm than good!"
Fu Yue put away the animal skin scroll, held back her laughter, and went back into the kitchen.
About half an hour later, Hua Jing Yuanjun set a table full of specialties from Yingzhou. Fu Li ate with great satisfaction and praised Yuanjun with great compliments.
At the dinner table, Yuanjun talked about what he saw and heard in Yingzhou. He was very excited and had a unique energy.
Fu Li had an idea and encouraged her to go out more often and make more like-minded friends.
"The dishes in Yingzhou are also very delicious, and different from what we used to make at home. Master, please get to know more people who love cooking and exchange more experiences, so that I can enjoy more delicious food." Fu Li clung to the master's arm and acted coquettishly.
Hua Jing Yuanjun looked at her lovingly and said lovingly, "Good, you are such a greedy little cat!"
Fu Li said confidently: "Food is the most important thing for the people."
Everyone laughed.
She and Lingzhuzi stayed here for another month. When Fuyue had memorized all the contents on the more than 30 scrolls of animal skins, they sent her to Boyi and handed her over to Wen Zhong.
Wen Zhong will take care of what happens next, so Fu Li doesn't have to worry about it.
Fu Li noticed that the people surrounding the palace had already withdrawn, so he asked a question. Wen Zhong said that Wo Ding had finally surrendered and led all the officials to worship Nuwa again.
When the people saw that the king admitted his mistakes and was able to correct them, they naturally dispersed.
Fu Li felt quite bored when she thought that Nuwa no longer cared.
But reality did not give her much time to reflect. Taiyi Zhenren, who had never liked to go out, suddenly found Boyi and brought them the news that Fuli had been waiting for for a long time.
——The Wu tribe rebelled again and invaded the Jinjiang tribe.
