Chapter 70 Jin vaguely remembers Xuandu...
Jin vaguely remembered that Xuandu was a human from the same generation as her. Seeing how much Cangli trusted Xuandu, Jin pulled Aqi and the others to stand in front of Xuandu.
After watching Cang Li leave, Xuan Du's expression calmed down. A magical artifact, identical in shape to a ceramic bowl and emitting light, appeared in his palm. He said:
"Come here, I'll take you back to the human race."
Jin nodded and quietly got put into the bowl along with the others.
Xuan Du held the bowl, his brows furrowed slightly. These women were indeed human, but the children clearly had the blood of the witch clan mixed in with their blood. Why did the Great Chieftain want to take even these children with impure bloodlines back?
After a long delay on the road, Cang Li finally set foot on the territory of the Kunlun Mountains.
To express his sincerity in seeking the magical treasure, Cang Li sheathed his sword at the foot of the mountain and walked up the jade steps.
It truly lives up to its reputation as the residence of the Three Pure Ones; it is indeed high-end and grand. Jade steps lead all the way to the top of the mountain, and there are no fewer than a hundred pavilions that appear and disappear on the mountain. Spiritual beasts can be seen appearing in the mountains from time to time.
Kunlun Mountain truly deserves to be called the number one immortal mountain.
Cang Li gradually calmed down and slowly walked along the mountain path.
She didn't know where Yuanshi lived, but it must be on the mountaintop. She could find him by following the mountain path to the end.
As soon as Cang Li set foot on Kunlun Mountain, Tai Qing noticed him. He opened his eyes, remained silent for a moment, then got up and went outside. He spoke to Duo Bao and Guang Chengzi, who thought they were hiding well but were actually peeking around furtively:
"You two come here."
Duobao and Guangchengzi pushed and shoved each other, slowly making their way to Taiqing, who bowed his head and respectfully inquired:
"Greetings, Senior Uncle. What are your orders, Senior Uncle?"
Taiqing, with his hands behind his back, said indifferently, "We have guests visiting. You two go to the mountain path to greet them."
Without saying a word, Duobao Guangchengzi headed towards the mountain path, only realizing what had happened after walking for a while.
That's not right. Why would guests come to Kunlun Mountain not directly to their master's or grandmaster's cave, but on the mountain path? And the grandmaster even personally instructed them to go and meet them.
Shouldn't it be enough to just send any guiding crane?
Although they didn't understand, the two of them still obediently went to pick up the person. It wasn't easy for their senior uncle either; Xuandu had gone out again, so it was normal for him to ask the two of them to pick someone up.
Cang Li started to complain that Kunlun Mountain was too high as she climbed. She had been climbing for a long time but had not reached the top or seen anyone. She thought she should just fly up and look for them.
Otherwise, how long would she walk like this?
Just as Cang Li was preparing to fly on his sword, Guang Chengzi and Duobao came down.
Seeing Cang Li huffing and puffing as he climbed the mountain, Guang Chengzi paused for a moment, then asked in surprise:
"Great Chief? What brings you here?"
Duobao had never met Cangli. He was a demon, and because of his high talent and good physique, he was taken in by Tongtian. As the first to join the sect, he became the eldest disciple. Duobao asked Guangchengzi in confusion:
"You know him?"
Guang Chengzi quickly stepped forward and bowed:
"Great Chief, why didn't you tell me you were coming? I could have come to pick you up. How could I let you slowly walk up the mountain here? Also, doesn't the Great Chief know how to ride the clouds? Why didn't you fly over?"
Cang Li retorted stubbornly, "It's Guang Chengzi. I just thought the scenery of Kunlun Mountain was beautiful and wanted to enjoy it. Where are you all going?"
Duobao hurriedly said from behind:
"It was our eldest master who ordered us to come and welcome our distinguished guests."
Guang Chengzi then introduced Duobao:
"This is the Great Chief of the Human Race. Great Chief, this is Duobao, the eldest disciple personally taught by Junior Uncle."
Duobao greeted Cangli with a smile. Taiqingran and the others had come to pick him up personally. As the great leader of the human race, Guangchengzi and Xuandu both respected this great leader very much, so it was perfectly reasonable for him to be polite.
Cang Li smiled and nodded: "Hello, your master is the Shangqing Sage, then you must have great talent and be very promising at such a young age!"
Duobao was overjoyed by these words. There were countless talented people on Kunlun Mountain, but few praised him like this. Duobao immediately said to Cangli:
"The Great Chief has come from afar. I'll take you to Master. Master returned from outside and was punished by Grand Master Uncle to go into seclusion. He hasn't touched anything he brought back; they're all good stuff. Come on, come on!"
Duobao was very enthusiastic and wanted to drag Cangli along to wreak havoc on the treasures Tongtian had brought back.
Cang Li blinked and realized that the senior disciple of the Jie Sect was quite enthusiastic.
Guang Chengzi frowned and waved Duobao's hand away: "Go away, our human race's great leader, what are you doing getting involved?"
Then he said to Cang Li, "Great Chief, let's go to Master. We've been away from the human race for so long, and they all miss you very much."
At this moment, Guang Chengzi and Duobao completely forgot who had sent them to pick up the person.
Cang Li felt it was hard to refuse such hospitality, but at the same time she felt strangely proud that she had connections with the three giants of the future prehistoric world!
Duobao argued irrationally: "Guangchengzi, I entered the sect before you, and many of my junior brothers and sisters are also human. Kunlun Mountain isn't only home to humans from your Chan Sect. What's wrong with me inviting the Great Chief over on behalf of my junior brothers and sisters?"
Guang Chengzi sneered: "Then do you think the Great Chief is closer to me or to you?"
Duobao was speechless and could only watch as Cang Li tried to seduce him using the true forms of his junior brothers and sisters:
"Big Chief, my junior brothers and sisters are probably all back to their original furry forms by now, sunbathing. Why don't you come play with me?"
Duobao wasn't sure if Cangli would take the bait, but he was certain his master would.
Cang Li was indeed very tempted, and Guang Chengzi immediately spoke up upon seeing this:
"Chief, Master just forged a new magic weapon, it's really fun, I'll take you to see it!"
The truth is, the Chan Sect really doesn't have any hairy creatures. In his haste, Guang Chengzi took out the magic weapon that Yuanshi had just refined to attract people. Otherwise, if Cang Li really followed Duobao, how would he, a proper human, stand in front of the Jie Sect disciples in the future?
Upon hearing Guangcheng's words, Cang Li, who had been wavering, finally remembered her business. She wasn't here to play or visit relatives!
Cang Li smiled sheepishly at Duo Bao:
"Um, Duobao, I'm sorry, I've come here to see Guangchengzi's master."
Duobao was very disappointed, but also very understanding, he said, "I see. Then Guangchengzi and I will take you to your second master's place!"
Guang Chengzi was satisfied, and the two of them led Cangli to Yuanshi's cave.
Taiqing sat at the jade table at the entrance of the cave for a while, then suddenly felt something was amiss. He got up and went back to the cave to change into a white Taoist robe, exactly the same one he wore in Cangli's spiritual mansion. After changing, Taiqing felt that he seemed to care too much about Cangli, and his brows furrowed slightly.
This is not good.
Taiqing did not go back to change her clothes, but sat quietly at the jade table, staring at the chessboard on the table, but her mind was actually on the path leading to the mountain.
After waiting for half a day, Taiqing still hadn't seen Guangchengzi and Duobao bring anyone. Taiqing got up, wondering if something had happened on the way.
In an instant, Taiqing's divine sense spread throughout Kunlun Mountain and found Cangli, who had been brought to the front of the Primordial Cave.
"..."
Xuan Du is indeed more reliable; at least he won't lead people elsewhere.
The second and third brothers' disciples are useless; they're too playful.
Taiqing sat down again. Cangli was going to ask Yuanshi for help in refining the weapon, and he would probably be here soon.
Fifteen minutes later, Taiqing got up and went to the Primordial Cave.
His second brother had a bad temper, and Cang Li was not very tactful either. He went to check on them to prevent a conflict between them and his second brother from suffering a loss.
Second brother: ? ? ? Who's at a disadvantage?
Cang Li followed Guang Chengzi to the front of Yuanshi Cave. Yuanshi Cave, like Yuanshi himself, exuded arrogance. The cave was built against the mountain, with high-pitched eaves, carved beams and painted rafters, dignified and imposing. It was clearly a proper immortal cave.
"Guang Chengzi, I've come uninvited. Will the Jade Purity Saint be angry?"
Guang Chengzi was indeed a little uneasy, but he still waved his hand and said:
"It's alright! Chief, you don't know, when my master was teaching us, he often said with exasperation—"
"If you had even half the talent and background of the human Cang Li, I wouldn't be in this situation!"
Guang Chengzi's imitation was quite good. Cang Li was taken aback, then burst into laughter, saying:
"Really!? The Jade Purity Saint seems difficult to get along with, but he actually praised me behind my back?"
Back in the human race, she looked down on Yuanshi Tianzun and was always finding fault with him, often criticizing him.
Guang Chengzi nodded: "Of course it's true! All the junior brothers and sisters have been reprimanded by Master like this. Hehe, Master is not here today; he went to Junior Uncle's place."
Cang Li's laughter stopped abruptly. He looked at the person behind Guang Chengzi with a dark face and scratched his head: "Guang Chengzi, well, it seems your master has returned."
Guang Chengzi froze, then hurriedly turned around, inwardly wailing, "Disciple greets Master!"
After the ceremony, they realized that Duobao had already slipped away, and his junior brothers and sisters were looking at him with pity from behind Yuanshi.
Yuanshi, his face dark, waved his sleeve and said, "Go stand facing the wall and reflect on your mistakes!"
Guang Chengzi immediately went to face the wall in meditation.
Cang Li wasn't afraid at all. Perhaps it was because they had all lived among humans before. Although Yuan Shi was fierce in words, he hadn't actually done anything to her. Even when she angered him, he hadn't laid a hand on her. So Cang Li wasn't really afraid of the Three Pure Ones, nor did she feel any sense of self-awareness in front of a sage. She waved her hand with a grin, like a lucky cat.
"Hey~ Sage Yuqing, it's been a long time~"
Yuanshi glanced at Cang Li with a calm expression, then waved to the disciples behind him:
"Go back to your own cultivation, and don't fool around or disturb your senior uncle."
Taiyi and the others exchanged glances, bowed respectfully, and withdrew.
After everyone had left, Yuanshi turned to Cangli and asked:
"Why did you come at this time?" Xuan Du had invited her before, but she refused, so he almost went to arrest her himself. He didn't expect Cang Li to come on her own initiative now.
Cang Li chuckled: "Sage, I've heard you're quite skilled at crafting magical artifacts." Cang Li didn't bother beating around the bush and directly stated his purpose.
Yuanshi naturally understood Cangli's meaning and said, "You don't come to the Three Treasures Hall without a reason. I can refine magic weapons. Do you want one?"
Cang Li nodded like a chick pecking at rice; she had come all the way to Kunlun Mountain because she wanted a magical treasure.
Yuanshi walked over leisurely, sat down, took a sip of tea, and coldly uttered two words:
"No."
Cang Li: ...
What a stingy saint!
Yuanshi sneered. Didn't he like to criticize him when they were among the human race? Now he's coming to beg for help?
Cang Li gritted her teeth and endured it, sitting meekly opposite Yuan Shi and feigning pitifulness.
"Sage, please help me! I really have no other choice but to shamelessly beg you. Sage, considering that the human race has also contributed to your path to sainthood, I don't need much, just give me a hundred... no, no, ten powerful magic treasures will do, please..."
As a human chieftain who is flexible and adaptable, what's wrong with asking for favors? As long as she gets what she wants, that shows her ability.
Cang Li thought so.
