The trick Liu Yunqing mentioned—using that fireball to pull off something bigger—was actually quite simple.
That is, wherever they went, they would say that Fairy Yun Zhao of the Myriad Wonders Sect had obtained a great opportunity in the Xiaohe Secret Realm.
As for the specific opportunity, how could those two Qi Refining cultivators possibly know?
Of course, the two weren't foolish enough to go up to everyone they met and say a few words. Instead, they would start chatting whenever they noticed someone around them.
Since the Xiaohe Secret Realm and Liu Yunzhao's appearance had already made their training trip to Xiaohe Ridge impossible, the two of them continued to walk towards the outer perimeter while exchanging messages.
Upon reaching the exit of Xiaohe Secret Realm, the two were about to repeat their old trick and continue cricket fighting with Liu Yunzhao, only to find Wuchen already waiting at the exit.
"Master Wuchen".
Liu Yunqing's mischievous face turned incredibly docile after she raised her head in a gesture of respect.
Although Liu Yunqing's disguise was still intact, its effect was slowly fading, and his true appearance was gradually revealed.
Wuchen looked at the little girl he hadn't seen for only a few months. Not only had she grown taller, but her whole demeanor had also changed dramatically due to her cultivation.
Even in front of me, she tries her best to act well-behaved and cute.
Wuchen is a standard Buddhist practitioner, with a tolerant and universal heart, doing everything openly and honestly, and being very particular about cause and effect.
After Liu Yunqing greeted him cautiously, she looked obediently at Wuchen, afraid that he would think she was a stubborn and wicked person.
He pondered how he should explain his actions if Wuchen asked.
But Wuchen didn't ask her anything. He just stared at her with a calm and unreadable expression.
Liu Yunqing felt uneasy and nervously stroked the Golden Crow Ring, wondering whether she should take the initiative to say something.
But after scrutinizing himself, Wuchen suddenly smiled, his eyes crinkling with a gentle light, and his voice clear and sincere as he spoke:
"Congratulations, you have successfully glimpsed the path to immortality."
As Wuchen spoke, Liu Yunqing's uneasy face broke into a genuine smile.
"I must also thank the master for his compassion in saving me from dire straits."
"As for Yun Qing, he had some unavoidable difficulties and concealed many things from the master before. Please forgive him."
As Liu Yunqing spoke, she bowed to Wuchen once again.
"It was just a small favor, nothing to mention."
Wuchen raised his hand to stop Liu Yunqing, and continued:
"As for you, your journey has not been easy. Don't waste your precious time seeking the Dao because of some short-term hatred."
I won't say much about your personal karma, but since we are destined to meet, I only hope that after you resolve your karma, you can stay true to your original heart.
Liu Yunqing naturally obeyed the instruction obediently. Finally, reluctantly, she took out the string of prayer beads and handed it to Wuchen with both hands, saying:
"Thank you for your protection, Master. Now that I have also embarked on the path of immortality, I should no longer take up your magical artifact."
Wuchen glanced at the prayer beads but did not reach out to take them.
"I gave it to you before to protect you. If you don't mind now, consider it a congratulatory gift for your journey to immortality."
Liu Yunqing was reluctant to return them, but after Wuchen's words, she quickly put the prayer beads back on her wrist.
Wuchen found it amusing, shook his head helplessly, and then bid farewell to the two and left.
The two watched Wuchen leave, and even after he had walked quite a distance, Liu Yunqing's gaze lingered on him.
Feng Piaopiao, who had been very perceptive and hadn't said a word, finally couldn't help but say sourly:
"Tsk tsk tsk, I never expected Fellow Daoist Zhenru to have two faces!"
"A man who is usually as fierce as a tiger is as docile as a cat when it comes to that monk named Wuchen."
"Even if they are my savior, it doesn't have to be like this, does it?"
Liu Yunqing finally withdrew her gaze, along with her entire body of obedience.
You don't understand.
Seeing Liu Yunqing revert to his usual cold demeanor, Feng Piaopiao thought the speed at which he changed his expression was simply astonishing.
However, it's a personal matter, and Feng Piaopiao isn't really someone without boundaries; she just made a few jokes and moved on.
After leaving Xiaohe Ridge, he bid farewell to Liu Yunqing:
"Although this training was unsuccessful, it was not entirely without gains. I plan to return to my sect for a while, and I think we will both have reached the Foundation Establishment stage by the time we meet again."
"If you're willing to consider me your friend, then let's agree to meet here again two years from today, how about it?"
Liu Yunqing nodded, flipped his wrist, took out a box from his storage bracelet, and handed it to Feng Piaopiao, saying:
"Thank you for the disguise pill. I think you'll find it useful."
Seeing that the other person was about to say something, Liu Yunqing pushed the box forward and spoke first:
"Since you say you're friends, then don't refuse."
Feng Piaopiao wasn't one to be coy, so she immediately retracted her words of refusal and cheerfully accepted the box, saying:
"Then I won't be polite!"
"Well, I don't know what you need, so I won't just give you anything. I'll just give you a recipe instead."
After saying that, he handed Liu Yunqing a jade slip and then left on his flying magic artifact.
Seeing that it was a replica jade slip, Liu Yunqing assumed it wasn't a rare prescription and casually accepted it before leaving on his flying artifact.
After the flying artifact had traveled some distance from Xiaohe Ridge, Liu Yunqing began to think about where he would land next.
Although she has a master, her current situation is no different from that of a rogue cultivator. If she wants to cultivate in peace, she needs a relatively safe cave dwelling.
For the cave dwellings of independent cultivators, the alliance of independent cultivators is naturally the most secure option.
The Loose Cultivator Alliance is an organization that specifically recruits independent cultivators.
Compared to disciples of sects, independent cultivators are much more free and undisciplined, and their talents vary greatly. Some are not valued by sects, while others are unruly and love freedom. Of course, there are also some who are neither righteous nor evil and are not accepted by righteous sects.
The complexities of human nature are most vividly displayed in the entire Sun Realm through the Loose Cultivator Alliance.
However, since it is an alliance, there must be some constraints and rules to ensure order for the majority of cultivators.
Since he had a two-year agreement with Feng Piaopiao, Liu Yunqing did not go far and chose Luoxia City, a city of independent cultivators near Shangqing Sect, as his long-term residence.
"Excuse me, is this your first time visiting Luoxia City?"
As soon as Liu Yunqing paid the spirit stones and entered the city, he was spotted by several children who were acting as guides.
Seeing that she remained silent with a cold expression, some of the timid children retreated.
Only the bolder ones followed her at a distance, trying to sell her their abilities.
"Fairy, please hire me. I can handle any errand for you, whether it's renting a cave dwelling, gathering information, or purchasing supplies..."
"You're the one, how many spirit stones?"
Upon hearing the word "errand runner," Liu Yunqing was immediately intrigued and casually pointed to a cute little girl.
The little girl was overjoyed and immediately squeezed in front of Liu Yunqing, holding up one finger and saying:
"If it's a one-time hire, you can give me ten spirit pearls. If it's for a longer period, it will be one spirit stone per month, and less than a month will be counted as a full month."
Liu Yunqing tossed over a spirit stone without hesitation and said directly:
"Take me to the place where you rented the cave dwelling first."
The little girl, having accepted the spirit stones, became even more clever and enthusiastic. Seeing that Liu Yunqing didn't seem to be short of spirit stones, she thought for a moment and said:
"Excuse me, are you a member of the alliance?"
