Time flies, and three months have passed in the blink of an eye.
Everyone's cultivation level has improved significantly. After learning many martial arts, Cui Dazhuang left with great pride. His towering body moved silently.
Little Sweetie was a little sad about Cui Dazhuang's departure, because there would never be anyone to let her sit on his broad shoulders to pick fruit again.
But this also ignited her childlike heart, which yearned for serious cultivation. She longed to grow taller and stronger, to no longer be bullied by Sister Liu Yue, and to be able to fly freely between heaven and earth like her brother.
Liu Feng and Yu Jingya, on the other hand, have been researching the method of dual cultivation. Although they managed to push Yu Jingya's cultivation to the peak of the Qi Induction stage but made no further progress, they still enjoyed it immensely and continued to experience the tranquility and sweetness of cultivation in Qingfeng Temple.
Three months later, in the height of summer, the sun was blazing and cicadas were chirping.
Liu Yue and Yu Jingya suggested going down the mountain for a walk, their first stop being to visit Liu Xiaoling. Liu Xiaoling was still at Jiangcheng University, having applied to study for a two-year master's degree in London and was about to depart. With Zhang Zhirou taking care of her there, there shouldn't be any problems.
He Qunfang took Xiaotian back to her hometown. Now, Xiaotian is even more mischievous and clever. She has not only grown taller, but her movements have also become as agile as a little monkey. Climbing trees to steal birds' nests and catching fish in the river are no problem for her. Sometimes, even the two little foxes cannot escape her "little clutches" and are caught and teased by her.
Liu Feng accompanied Yu Jingya and Liu Yue down the mountain to step into the mortal world and experience the long-lost human warmth.
They strolled leisurely along the bustling streets, like ordinary travelers, savoring various delicacies and admiring the beautiful scenery. The path of spiritual practice lies in a balance of tension and relaxation; only by relaxing appropriately can one better immerse oneself in spiritual practice.
On this day, they traveled all the way and arrived at Baiyun Temple, which is located at the top of Mount Heng in Nanyue.
This temple is nestled in the embrace of lush mountains and forests. Through the changing seasons, the air here remains fresh and clean, with towering pines and swaying bamboos, creating a tranquil scene.
Upon hearing of their arrival, Abbess Jinghui of Baiyun Temple personally stepped out to greet them.
The nun appeared to be around forty years old, a tall and slender, dignified and beautiful woman with a touch of aloofness in her eyes, like a winter plum blossom in the mountains.
As she looked up, she was immediately drawn to the outstanding appearance and unique temperament of Liu Yue and Yu Jingya. Her gaze lingered on them, and she was secretly surprised. These two young women looked to be no more than sixteen or seventeen years old, but when she judged their strength from the aura emanating from them with her profound cultivation, she was slightly astonished. Their cultivation was actually on par with hers, which was truly amazing.
When Abbess Jinghui's gaze shifted to Liu Feng, it was as if she were looking into a bottomless pool, feeling that it was unfathomably deep.
In that instant, the evaluation her master had given Liu Feng when he was alive came to mind: "This child has a deep affinity for the Dao and will surely achieve great things in the future."
Then, with a respectful expression, Abbess Jinghui led Liu Feng directly to the place where Master Lingsu had once secluded herself for cultivation. There, a memorial tablet now stands solemnly, enshrining Bai Yaohua's memorial tablet and a portrait of her from her lifetime.
The portrait of Ling Su Zhenren has a kind face and wise eyes, as if she is quietly gazing at the world through the dust of time.
Liu Feng slowly stopped, his posture upright and his expression solemn.
He took a stick of incense, which emitted a delicate fragrance, from Abbess Jinghui's hand, and lit it with a gentle flick of his fingers. Wisps of smoke rose into the air. Liu Feng respectfully raised both hands above his head and bowed deeply to the memorial tablet.
Liu Feng's thoughts drifted back to his youthful days of dedicated cultivation at Baiyun Temple. The image of Master Lingsu sitting beside him, patiently explaining the Plum Blossom Divination to him, still echoed in his ears; the image of his master, the old Daoist Qingfeng, smiling and stroking his beard, also surfaced in his mind.
"Third Senior Sister," Liu Feng broke the silence, his voice steady and sincere, "I came here this time not only to pay respects to my Uncle, but also to borrow the 'Dragon and Phoenix Harmony Dual Cultivation Method' from you. If you agree, I will do my best to fulfill any request you may have and will never refuse."
“Junior Brother,” Abbess Jinghui frowned slightly, a hint of doubt in her eyes, “Didn’t Jiu’er give it to you? When Master was on his deathbed, he had already passed on the Dragon and Phoenix Harmony Dual Cultivation Method to Junior Sister Jiu’er.”
