Chapter 488 Cursed Treasures and Missing Family
Mr. Nong was delighted. Being praised by the Immortal Jin Ting as "not an ordinary person" was enough to make him happy.
This is praise from an immortal.
Mr. Nong was an advisor to the King of Wu. His appointment to the imperial capital as his chief of staff showed he was no ordinary man. His extraordinary luck, talent, courage, and wisdom earned him the King's deep trust.
But now, he is a friend of Jin Ting Daxian. Along the way, he and Jin Ting Daxian discussed scriptures and classics, talked about mysteries and Taoism. When mortals get along with immortals, there must be countless problems.
On the other hand, when Jin Ting Daxian interacts with Mr. Nong, he can also arouse his desire to talk.
Only when the Imperial City was right before his eyes did Mr. Nong reluctantly leave, saying, "After this farewell, I don't know when we will meet again."
Jin Ting Daxian asked, "Mr. Nong, are you not going to come back after you've made arrangements?"
Mr. Nong sighed softly, his eyes filled with worry and ambition. He said, "In the future, I will stay in the imperial capital for a long time to mediate for the Lord. If I return, it will be when the time is right."
The Immortal Jin Ting said, "Then I will wait patiently for good news from Mr. Nong."
Mr. Nong will disembark first and someone will take him away. The treasures on the ship will be transported to the city in batches.
Mr. Nong lifted the curtain and looked back at the Immortal Jin Ting. The Immortal Jin Ting was staring at him silently, and he began to laugh.
The curtain closed, and Jin Ting Daxian's gaze was never on his carriage, but on the imperial city.
The boat docked at the pier, still some distance from the Imperial City. Mr. Nong was riding in a carriage heading towards the Imperial City, and Jin Ting Daxian's eyes were firmly drawn to the Imperial City.
The heaviness and grandeur of the imperial city lies not only in its appearance, but also in the accumulation of its destiny.
At the foot of the imperial city, everyone's spirit will be affected, and those who practice cultivation will be affected particularly deeply.
Above the imperial city, destiny is spread out in all directions, like stars scattered across the sky.
A huge dragon is hidden inside, and the gods are guarding it. Even if it is not targeting anyone, just its existence there makes people feel the unpredictable power of heaven.
The Great Immortal Jin Ting withdrew his gaze, and the Tongtian Fa did not work.
The Tongtian Method is not omnipotent. If he uses the Tongtian Method to inspect the imperial city, it will surely alarm the mighty divine formation. When the divine power descends from the sky, his spirit will surely suffer severe damage.
Jin Ting Daxian boarded the return boat. There was only one boat and only a few people on it.
The fleet of Prince Wu's Palace stayed at the dock, as more men and horses were needed to guard the treasures.
But with the naked eye, no one can see the subtle shadows hidden among the glittering jewels.
The Immortal Jin Ting looked in the direction of the fleet. The shadow in the treasure continued to twist, but it hid more secretly like a snake.
"Curse." Jin Ting Daxian spoke slowly, and the boat gradually drifted away and soon merged into the water.
"Whoever holds this treasure will be burned by greed."
The shadows disappeared, leaving only the bright and beautiful jewels.
The return journey was very fast. At night, the Immortal Jin Ting simply abandoned the boat and turned into smoke and disappeared. In a moment, he arrived in Gusu.
King Linchuan was not in the Owl Pavilion. He did not expect that the Great Immortal Jin Ting would come back so soon, but Elder Xiao was there.
The Taoist who received the guests invited Elder Xiao to take charge of the affairs.
The Immortal Jin Ting asked, "The elder's face is unfamiliar. I don't think I've seen him before."
Elder Xiao said, "My surname is Xiao. I have not been in the academy before, so I have never met the Immortal."
The Immortal Jin Ting looked at him carefully and said, "Your cultivation is extraordinary."
Elder Xiao was a little surprised and said modestly, "Exalted Immortal, your praise is too great."
The Immortal Jin Ting said, "I never treat people with courtesy."
Sensing Elder Xiao's vigilance, the Immortal Jin Ting changed the subject and said, "Please tell King Linchuan that I have already fulfilled my promise to him and will visit again in a few days."
Elder Xiao said, "Thank you, Great Immortal."
The Immortal Jin Ting walked out of the door in a swagger and disappeared in a flash.
Elder Xiao finally let go of his guard and said, "What powerful eyes."
The last time Jin Ting Daxian met him, he was still using the identity of Ma Qingji. This time when he met him, he changed to the identity of Jin Ting Daxian again.
However, compared to the last time, Jin Ting Daxian has made a lot of progress, so it can be seen that Elder Xiao's practice has a solid foundation.
However, Elder Xiao was on guard against him, so it was difficult for him to take action and he could only give up for the time being.
Even though Jin Ting Daxian wanted to achieve success as quickly as possible, he also understood that things could not be rushed, and the more anxious he was, the more likely it would be to cause trouble.
He has been practicing in seclusion in Shenjing Palace for several months without showing up in public. Now he has gone to great lengths to involve himself in this situation. Soon, his old friends will come to visit him.
The identity of King Linchuan is very sensitive.
To be precise, the Wu Palace was very sensitive. No one would let an outsider like him roam freely in the Wu Palace. Since he was allowed to move freely, there must be plans against him.
Outside the door, the moon-collecting official came again to ask for the moon-phase instrument.
The Immortal Jin Ting waved his hand, and the door of the Golden Palace opened, revealing the surprise on Cai Yueguan's face.
In the past, the Great Immortal Jin Ting would not see her in person every day, and would usually send the Moon Phase Instrument to her through the door.
The hall was brightly lit, and the girl, so beautiful that she seemed to glow, bowed and said, "Great Immortal."
The Immortal Jin Ting asked, "Cai Yueguan, do you miss home?"
Cai Yueguan's face suddenly showed a sense of melancholy. Was he homesick? Of course he was.
When she was abducted, her mother was injured and it is unknown how she is doing now.
Although it is convenient to practice in Shenjing Palace and she can make great progress in Taoism by collecting some moonlight drawn by the Immortal Jinting every day, she cannot feel at ease to be a moon-collecting official after all. She has her own name, Langru.
But would the Immortal Jin Ting let her go? He had promised her that if she could refine the divine sword, he would let her go home to find her mother, but to this day, there was no sign of the divine sword.
But when the Immortal Jin Ting asked, Lang Ru answered without hesitation: "I miss my mother and Chaoyin Cave day and night."
She knelt before the Immortal Jin Ting and said, "Immortal, I am still willing to sacrifice and refine the divine sword for you, but could you allow me to return to Chaoyin Cave to see my mother first, so that I can ease the pain of missing my family, and then I can serve you again."
If she hadn't mentioned it, Jin Ting Daxian would almost have forgotten about the magic sword.
At first, he was planning to refine a magic sword, and use it with the Taoist method of Taiyin Soul-Slaying Sword and Thunder Pearl to become his magical weapon in Gusu.
But plans cannot keep up with changes. First, he sensed Yue Bei, and the Taiyin Soul-Slaying Sword was perfected. With Yue Bei's Dharma image's magical communication at his fingertips, it became unimportant whether he had the magic sword or not.
Now, he has used his own cultivation of the Taiyin Dao to refine the Moon Phase Instrument, and no longer needs the divine sword. Now that the Moon Phase Instrument has been refined, he thinks that the Moon Collector has completed her duties and he can let her go.
Unexpectedly, poor Cai Yueguan was still thinking about the magic sword. This made Jin Ting Daxian a little tempted. Why not do as she said?
As for the divine sword, it can be refined at any time.
But capable subordinates are not always available.
