Chapter 78. Cang Li was also stunned for a moment; she…
Cang Li was also stunned for a moment. She hadn't thought so much when she brought the children back, but now that Nini mentioned it, she realized that children are always xenophobic. It takes a long time for children from different tribes to get along and play together, let alone these children who are half-human and half-shaman. They are even stronger than human children of the same age.
"Hmm, let me think about this. Let them stay here with the stone for now. When the adults come back, they can ask the children what they want to do and whether they want to stay with the children or go back to their original tribe. Tell them not to worry about the children; the tribe will take care of them."
Nini nodded and relayed Cangli's message to Jin.
Jin hesitated for a moment, looking at Aqi beside her. After Xuandu sent them back, they had been living in the four houses allocated to them by the river. They had food to eat every day, and they would take the children to work every day. The adults were fine, after all, they all came from the same source, so there was no major estrangement.
Children are different. The newborn second-generation children of the human race have a strong sense of wariness towards Ah Qi and his group of mixed-race children.
Jin repeatedly told Aqi not to get into conflicts with the other children. She didn't want to make things difficult for the chief, who was the one who rescued them. If the children started making a fuss, Jin was worried that Aqi wouldn't be able to stay here.
Now Nini came over and told her that the chieftain wanted these children to live with the stone, and that the tribe would take care of them. Jin couldn't help but feel relieved.
After thinking it through, Jin said to Nini, "I want to take Aqi with me. She's still so young, and I can't bear to part with her." Aqi is her only child right now, and she can't bear to be separated from her.
Nini nodded: "Okay, the chief said that those who don't want to be separated from their children can live with them."
After hearing this, most of the other women who returned chose to go back to their original tribes and not stay with their children. These children were not born of their own free will. It was one thing before, but now it's different. They don't want to see these children, nor do they want to recall their life in the witch tribe.
Cang Li, adhering to the principle of respecting human rights, never interfered with the choices of her clansmen. After speaking with Nini, she went to Shi Tou's place, told Bai Yun and the others to vacate a few houses for the children to live in, and that the children would be under the jurisdiction of Bai Yun and the others from now on.
After resolving these matters, Cang Li returned to the cave to check on the progress of Ji, Jie, Zhong, and Yu's cultivation. Upon returning, Cang Li changed his previous laissez-faire approach to raising the children and began to supervise their studies. He also considered whether to contact Xuan Du to send the four children to Kunlun.
Cang Li was still a little reluctant. After Er went to the Demon Court, the children had become much quieter. If he sent all four children away, Cang Li would stare blankly with his chin in his hand. In the end, he still felt that he could not delay the children's time.
After making the decision, Cang Li used the communication talisman given to him by Xuan Du to contact Xuan Du.
“Xuan Du, I want to send Ji, Jie, Zhong, and Yu to Kunlun Mountain to learn martial arts. The four of them have excellent talent for cultivation, and I don’t want to hold them back. If you have time, could you please come to the human realm?”
After saying that, Cang Li sent out the communication talisman. At this time, more than half a year had passed since Xuan Du last came.
After Xuandu returned to Kunlun Mountain, he began to observe Taiqing openly and secretly, but he couldn't find anything. Instead, he felt that his master had completely returned to his previous carefree attitude and seemed perfectly normal. Xuandu's doubts lessened, and he began to cultivate seriously.
When Xuandu received Cang Li's communication talisman, he was listening to Taiqing preach. The talisman flew in and began to burn before Xuandu could react, and Cang Li's words reached the ears of the master and disciple.
Xuandu immediately apologized:
"This disciple has been disrespectful; please forgive me, Master."
Taiqing looked at Xuandu: "It's alright. There's nothing happening on Kunlun Mountain these days. You may go."
Xuan Du breathed a sigh of relief and got up as instructed. Just as he was about to leave, Tai Qing called him back:
"Wait a moment, take this to Cang Li."
Xuandu looked over and saw that Taiqing was holding a string of pale green beads in his palm. There were nine beads in total, and they were made of gold thread and tied with a diamond knot. The beads were translucent and sparkling in the natural light. They were very beautiful. Xuandu was a little puzzled.
He had never seen this bracelet before, but he knew about the beads. His master had personally gone to the top of Kunlun Mountain to carve out a spiritual vein and retrieved only a small amount, which was then polished into these nine beads. He wondered when his master had refined them into a magic weapon.
Taiqing frowned: "What are you standing there for? Go get the Eight Treasures Ruyi Box from the shelf and put it in."
Xuandu snapped out of his daze and hurriedly fetched the Ruyi Box. Taiqing opened the box, casually placed the string of beads inside, and looked at Xuandu, saying:
"This treasure is called Green Ethereal. It can nourish the spirit and condense the qi. After giving it to Cang Li, let her carry it with her at all times."
Xuan Du nodded hurriedly, carefully tucked the box into his robes, bowed, and headed towards the human realm.
Taiqing watched Xuandu leave, then recalled what he had seen in the Cangli Spirit Mansion over the past six months.
Cang Li grew up quickly, and he was able to understand and apply what he was taught. However, as time went on, Tai Qing had to pay attention to what Tong Tian had said before.
The origin of the Xuanyuan Sword is unknown, and as a malevolent sword, it is a hidden danger. Taiqing personally searched for an extremely rare green crystal in the spiritual vein and nurtured it with innate spiritual energy. Considering that Cangli likes beautiful things, he also specially ground it into nine beads and wove them into a bracelet with gold thread.
Even though Cang Li hasn't sent any letters lately, Tai Qing still orders Xuan Du to deliver something by his demonic orders.
Green Peach can withstand three full-force attacks from someone below the level of a saint, and it can also calm the mind and keep the spirit clear. It complements Cang Li perfectly.
Taiqing closed his eyes. Now that Cangli's cultivation had reached the Great Perfection realm, the next step was to teach Cangli to sever his good and evil corpses and become a Quasi-Saint. There were not many Quasi-Saints in the Primordial World. If Cangli succeeded, he would indeed be able to roam freely in the Primordial World.
Xuan Du moved very quickly, arriving in Cang Li's place in just one day. He landed in front of the cave and spoke loudly:
"Great Chief!"
Cang Li emerged from the cave, utterly astonished:
"Xuandu, you came so fast!" She had only sent the message in the morning, and Xuandu arrived that evening.
Xuan Du nodded with a smile: "I came as soon as I received the Great Chief's message. Does the Great Chief want to send Ji and the others to Kunlun Mountain?"
Cang Li nodded, then pulled Xuan Du to sit down and said, "Let's talk about this tomorrow. You've been traveling for so long, come sit down and rest. We were just about to eat, you've come at the right time."
As he spoke, he went to set out the freshly prepared food and then invited Ji Hejie to bring the two children to eat.
Xuan Du swallowed his words and focused on eating with Cang Li.
After dinner, the moon rose, and the early autumn night sky was filled with stars. Without the scorching sun of the day, the breeze was very pleasant.
Cang Li lay on the rocking chair to digest his food, and also brought a handful for Xuan Du, saying to Xuan Du:
“Actually, I’ve wanted to send the children to find a master for a long time. I’ve been learning on my own, and I was afraid of delaying the children’s progress. But I’ve been reluctant to do so for years. Now I’ve thought it through and I can’t let them suffer.”
“Xuan Du, your master said long ago that he had no master-disciple relationship with them, so it doesn’t matter whether they become disciples or not after they go to Kunlun Mountain with you. Just find someone who can teach them.”
Cang Li's requirements were not high. Anyway, those people on Kunlun Mountain would all become famous immortals in the future. Once they arrived at Kunlun Mountain, Ji, Jie, Zhong, and Yu would have a bright future. At the very least, they could become wandering immortals.
Xuandu pondered for a while and felt that although his master no longer accepted disciples, these four children were well-behaved and could stay in the Human Sect without a master-disciple relationship. In any case, there were few people in the Human Sect, so there was no need to trouble the two uncles next door.
"Don't worry, Chief. I'll take good care of them if they come back with me. But if all four of them leave, won't you be living alone from now on?"
He remembered that the chieftain quite enjoyed lively gatherings.
Cang Li waved his hand: "There are so many humans, how can it be deserted?"
Ji Hejie and Zhong Hemo lingered and crawled onto Cang Li's lap, looking at Cang Li with longing eyes.
Cang Li nudged Ji's head: "What are you doing lying on me? You're heavy. Go pack your things, and you can go to Kunlun Mountain with Xuan Du tomorrow."
Ji Hejie remained silent, and everyone was almost in tears: "Sister, I'm not going."
Cang Li became serious: "What nonsense are you talking about? Didn't we agree on this already? I'm not very good at teaching you guys here, isn't this a waste of your talents? Listen to me, go to Kunlun Mountain with Xuan Du tomorrow, study hard, and I'll be waiting for you to protect me after you've mastered your skills."
The girl buried her face in Cang Li's belly, feeling dejected. She just couldn't bear to part with her older sister and didn't want to leave her, but her older sister was right.
Cang Li patted Zhong's head and said to Ji Hejie, "Take Zhong and Yu to bed. Don't stay up too late, or you won't be able to get up tomorrow."
In reality, there's no such thing as being unable to get up. Both humans and immortals possess cultivation and don't really need to sleep.
After dawdling for a while, Ji and Jie obediently pulled Zhong and Yu back to the cave to sleep.
Cang Li turned his head and smiled at Xuan Du, saying, "You flatter me. They've never been apart from me before, and now that they're leaving, I'm quite reluctant to part with them."
Xuan Du laughed, took the box from his arms, and handed it to Cang Li, saying:
"I almost forgot, this was specially instructed by the Supreme One to be brought to the Great Chief."
Cang Li looked at the box with some surprise. Was it for her? Cang Li took the box, carefully opened it, and after just one glance, her eyes lit up with amazement.
The bracelet in the box shimmered with iridescent light, its pale green beads particularly striking. Cang Li immediately took a liking to it, took it out to examine it closely, and tilted her head to ask:
"Your master really gave it to me?"
Xuan Du nodded: "Don't worry, Chief. This is a treasure that Master specially instructed to give to you. It is called Green Nether. It is a magic weapon that Master personally took out from the spiritual vein, polished and refined. Master also instructed that Chief must wear it every day and never take it off."
Cang Li immediately put the bracelet on her left hand with great joy, raised her wrist and shook it. The green aura suited her very well. After wearing it, Cang Li felt her mind was clear and a spiritual energy entered her body from the bracelet, nourishing her meridians.
"Xuan Du, remember to convey my gratitude when you get back!"
Cang Li really liked the bracelet. After saying that, he started thinking about what to prepare as a return gift for Tai Qing. It wouldn't be right to accept someone's gift and then not show any appreciation.
