Chapter 43
"Woof woof~"
Yin Yang, having lost a game with a dog, roared "Two Elements" in his childish voice.
The two yin and yang sat upright on the ground, remaining completely still despite the roars of yin and yang.
Annoyed by the noise, the dog turned its head to one side, its dark eyes glancing over every now and then.
It seems to be saying whether you can't take a joke.
"Woof!"
Yin Yang seemed to understand as well, and shouted into Liang Yi's ear. The dog even climbed onto Liang Yi's back again, pressing Liang Yi down beneath it.
Its mouth was also busy, constantly biting at the two elements.
Lingxi observed that the Yin and Yang were well-controlled, and the biting force was not strong, as if it were just playing around.
Jin Moli hugged Taiji tightly, and the fluffy touch in her arms made her reluctant to let go.
No wonder Master likes dogs.
She likes it too, hehe~
The two stood to one side, surrounding Yun Qingzi in the middle.
Looking at him, he sat upright on the white clouds, surrounded by mist, with a faint white light emanating from his body. From a distance, he truly looked like an immortal.
Yun Qingzi felt the spiritual energy slowly flowing into his nearly dried-up meridians, like a warm current gently soothing the stinging pain in his meridians, flowing all the way into his newly opened dantian.
Once her breathing had stabilized, the white light surrounding her transformed into countless spiritual lights and entered her body. Yun Qingzi opened her eyes, looked at her concerned master and senior sister, and a look of joy appeared on her thin face.
"Master and Senior Sister, I have successfully completed the initial stage of Qi Refining."
Jin Moli jumped up and down twice: "Junior brother, you're awesome!"
They treated Yun Qingzi like a little child and tried to coax her.
Yun Qingzi was both amused and exasperated by what she heard.
"Now that you have also broken through, I will teach you magic properly these next few days. After I go into seclusion, I will entrust everything outside to the two of you."
Lingxi wanted to arrange things properly before proceeding with the matter of closing the light.
Refining the white cloud has greatly alleviated her spiritual power.
That might buy some time.
"Yes, Master," the two said in unison.
"Qingzi has other important matters to attend to, so the banquet will be adjourned for today."
Lingxi glanced at the sky; the sunset had completely faded, it was time to go back.
However, as soon as he changed his mind, the white clouds beneath his feet began to drift downwards.
In less than a minute, the three people and three dogs had arrived at the front yard of the Ling family's house.
Before the two left, Lingxi said, "You two have only recently broken through, and your spiritual power is still a bit unstable. You must stabilize your cultivation tonight and get used to it."
Jin Moli: "Okay, Master."
Yun Qingzi nodded, "Yes."
Once the person had gone far away, Lingxi breathed a slight sigh of relief.
I realized that being a master isn't so easy.
"He remained humble and composed, with a clear mind, and successfully took in two excellent disciples."
Suddenly, a figure appeared beside Lingxi in the quiet front yard, praising her for her ability to judge people.
Lingxi was used to Suyuan's elusive nature, and upon hearing this, the corners of her mouth secretly curled up. However, mindful that she was now a master herself, she quickly suppressed the smile and said without any modesty:
"That's right, I have a good eye for choosing disciples!"
Lingxi stopped pretending and grinned.
"By the way, wishing you a peaceful and healthy Dragon Boat Festival today," Lingxi told Suyuan, sharing the local customs.
With a slight movement of his hand, several delicious-tasting rice dumplings of different flavors flew out of the house and floated between the two of them.
"Give!"
"Oh, I..."
When Lingxi turned her head to meet the silvery-white light and shadow, she realized that the other party was just a vague and ethereal shadow shrouded in moonlight.
Su Yuan appeared in the front yard as a tall, jade-like white figure. Compared to the hasty appearance the day before, his appearance today was almost indistinguishable from that of a real person.
But there are some differences.
Su Yuan smiled and said, "It's alright, I have a place to put it. I'll definitely have to try it when the time comes."
He reached out and took them; several rice dumplings floated in his palm and disappeared in the next moment.
After carefully putting away the rice dumplings, he earnestly explained his purpose: "The moonlight is perfect today, so there is hope of getting out."
"Fellow Daoist, would you mind admiring the moon with me?"
A hint of anticipation was hidden in her usually cool and elegant tone.
The speaker meant no harm, and the listener was oblivious.
"Oh~" Lingxi looked up at the sky and realized that, without her noticing, a full moon, like a silver plate, was hanging high in the night sky, with only a few scattered stars around it.
"The moonlight tonight is quite fitting."
Su Yuan chuckled softly, and with a flick of his wrist, a jade leaf familiar to Ling Xi quietly appeared and lay peacefully in his palm.
The leaves shimmered with a subtle light, were as thin as paper, and had veins that were slightly raised, revealing every fine detail.
Naturally formed things are indeed incomparable to those carved or processed objects.
Lingxi was puzzled.
Why were the leaves removed from his body?
Unable to see his face clearly, Su Yuan flicked his sleeve, and the jade leaf rose from his palm, trembling slightly in mid-air. It seemed to come alive, silently expanding and extending before the two of them. Light flowed from the veins of the leaf, quietly spreading in all directions.
In the blink of an eye, it had unfolded into a gently curved, warm jade boat.
A faint light flickers, a gentle ripple floats.
If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she wouldn't have believed that the leaf boat in front of her, which looked like it was made of alternating shades of blue and white, was actually no bigger than a palm.
"this……"
Lingxi didn't dare to blink and turned to look at Su Yuan beside her.
"Please~"
The jade boat slowly descended and landed on the ground.
Since there was something new, Lingxi naturally accepted the invitation with pleasure.
Lingxi lifted her foot slightly and stepped onto the boat. The jade leaves were warm and smooth to the touch, and the boat was very sturdy. Lingxi didn't even notice it swaying as she walked.
She turned to look at Su Yuan, who had somehow boarded the ship, and asked curiously:
"Su Yuan, are these really the leaves from your body?"
"Stand firm."
Su Yuan spoke in a low voice.
The boat beneath her feet seemed to understand her will, silently rising to the surface. The front yard, the houses, and even the Linxi Cave rapidly shrank and coalesced beneath her feet, finally dissolving into blurry, indistinct shadows in the night.
The jade boat continued its graceful ascent, finally coming to rest amidst a sea of clouds.
Su Yuan: "This was made from the leaves that I had previously shed."
"How amazing." Lingxi's eyes sparkled as she crouched down to examine the object beneath her.
"I can never match your ingenuity; I can only ponder my own ideas."
Lingxi: "I'm like a skilled cook without rice; I have no choice but to find another way."
She became curious: "What was your previous place like?"
"Is it really like what's written in the book, where murder and robbery are clearly separated, or...?"
"Stop!"
Su Yuan stopped Ling Xi from making wild guesses.
He recounted his past in detail.
"My original name is Cangqiong Yushu. I was born from the chaos at the edge of the Immortal Realm. After a hundred years, I cultivated into human form. Later, for the sake of cultivation, I went down to the Cangqiong Realm to temper my mind and character, and that's how I met my friends."
"You're truly an immortal—"
Lingxi was somewhat shocked, and her mental assessment of his strength immediately soared to the top.
Goodness!
She's managed to snag a really powerful guy.
Su Yuan smiled helplessly and continued, "There are relatively few immortals in the Immortal Realm. They usually perform their duties and are quite peaceful, so there are few disputes like the ones you mentioned. However, the Cangqiong Realm has a large population with varying levels of cultivation. Just like the place where you live, with so many people, conflicts and disputes are bound to arise."
"Indeed, wherever there are people, there is a world of martial arts."
Lingxi nodded understandingly: "Do your friends know your background?"
"I have a general idea."
"But he didn't know I came from the Celestial Realm, and thought I was just an ordinary spirit."
Su Yuan has nothing to hide about the past.
"Uh-huh."
The woman in the long dress stood on the jade boat, listening to the few words Su Yuan spoke, which revealed a world she could not even imagine.
She gazed quietly at the starry sky and the bright moon above.
The large disc, which seemed so close yet remained out of reach.
My gaze inevitably fell upon the figure ahead, bathed in the silvery moonlight and starlight.
Dazzling and extraordinary.
Unfortunately, I couldn't see the handsome man's face at this moment, which is a bit of a pity.
Lingxi paused for a moment, then looked away at the boundless sky, her voice barely audible: "So beautiful~"
Su Yuan looked in the direction of her gaze.
The scenery at such a height was incomparable to that of the celestial realm, so it was nothing surprising to him.
But he nodded in response to her words.
"The moonlight is just right, but there's too little..."
Su Yuan's daily available spiritual energy is limited.
His figure swayed slightly for a moment, and although he quickly repaired it with his magic, Lingxi still noticed it.
Lingxi swallowed the words in her mouth and only asked, "Shall we go back?"
Su Yuan turned to look at her, slightly raised his eyes, and a cool smile appeared on his misty face.
The radiant light gathered in my hands quietly dissipated.
Lingxi noticed the gaze and, believing herself to be good at understanding the tree's meaning, said, "When you can truly come out in the future, I will use my cloud to bring you up to see it."
The sky is inherently boring.
But these words came out of her mouth.
It sounded very interesting, and Su Yuan immediately agreed.
"good."
...
The day after the Dragon Boat Festival
Linxi Temple
"Master, it's been so long! You look so young, I almost didn't recognize you."
Some villagers from nearby came to Yun Qingzi to have their fortunes told. When they arrived at the temple, they walked straight past Yun Qingzi and wandered around in the small courtyard.
Yun Qingzi couldn't stand it any longer and asked first, "Shanxin, have you encountered any difficulties and need help?"
The villager didn't even turn his head or look at Yun Qingzi. He waved his hand and said, "Oh, you're new here, aren't you? I'm looking for your Master Yun."
"I am the unscrupulous Heavenly Venerable Fusheng."
"Ah! Daoist Master, what kind of elixir have you taken to look so young!"
Yun Qingzi narrowed his eyes, his expression unfathomable: "I have cultivated for fifty years and lived a regular life. I must have gained something."
The villagers thought about it and agreed, so they stopped worrying about it.
"Taoist priest, quickly calculate how much longer I have to live?"
Old Daoist Yun raised his eyes and looked at him. His face was rosy and full of energy, and he was healthier than eight or ten other people in the village.
"Want to die?"
No, that's not it.
Old Liu, who was strolling over from the side, looked at him with a strange expression: "Old Zhu, are you tired of living? There are people who want to die."
Old Zhu laughed and said, "I'm getting married."
Yun Qingzi: ? ? ?
Old Liu: ? ? ?
Old Liu repeated, "You're getting married?"
"yes."
Old Zhu: "Now that I'm getting old, I've found someone I truly love. We've decided to get our marriage certificate in a few days, and we won't have a wedding banquet."
Old Liu congratulated him: "That's good, you have company now."
Old Zhu got married at the age of twenty, and was widowed less than three years later. He has a son who has settled down and started a family in another city and rarely comes back.
Now that he's fifty years old and has been a widow for many years, Old Liu is genuinely happy for him to have met such a kind person.
Yun Qingzi silently calculated, "That's good. You two still have several decades of good life ahead of you. You two are a match made in heaven, destined for happiness and bliss."
Upon hearing this, Old Zhu smiled so much that his eyes narrowed.
They generously gave me 666 yuan for the divination.
"Sigh, take it back, there's too much."
Old Zhu refused: "Taoist Master, please accept it. I'm in a good mood today, so consider it my and Xiao Fang's wedding gift."
Old Zhu walked with much lighter steps.
"Old Taoist, this is wonderful!"
"This is another joyous occasion."
