Jiang Qiuyue covered her mouth in surprise at Jiang Yun's bewildered face. She thought Jiang Yun would rush to find Huang Shan, but it seemed her brother had forgotten about her.
"Uh, how is Huang Shan now?"
Jiang Yun asked somewhat awkwardly. On that night when he was with Huang Shan, she was obviously attracted to him. Jiang Yun also liked her very much, so he suggested that if his cultivation reached the Golden Core stage and she was also good, they could become Taoist companions.
Later, after getting on the spirit boat, Jiang Qiuyue obviously thought that the two of them had secretly become Taoist companions.
"After Sister Huang came here, I asked her to cultivate on Bi Bo Island, striving to advance to the Foundation Establishment stage as soon as possible and catch up with my brother's cultivation. However, the Huang family cultivators who stayed in Luonan were killed by the Qin family, and those who fled here are all the younger generation. She left here to rebuild the Huang family and is now on Cuizhu Island, a hundred miles west of Bi Bo Island."
Jiang Yun and Jiang Qiuyue looked at the deep pool in front of them and listened to each other talk about Huang Shan. Jiang Yun knew that this was the real Huang Shan, who was willing to sacrifice her own path for the sake of her family.
Perhaps Huang Shan, whom she had saved at the time, had just been deceived by her closest brother, which was why she had her own ideas. But after the younger generation of the Huang family gathered in Donghai, she became the person who belonged to the family again.
"Sister Huang hasn't advanced to the Foundation Establishment stage yet. Instead, she's started looking for Foundation Establishment elixirs for her brother. I've tried to persuade her several times, but it's all ineffective. It's only created a rift. Brother, you won't blame me, will you?"
Jiang Yun heard what the other party said, smiled lightly and said:
"Everyone has their own aspirations, and it was just an agreement between the two of us at the time."
It was only now that Jiang Yun recounted what had happened between the two of them. Jiang Qiuyue listened with great interest. After listening, she immediately asked curiously:
"What are you going to do with that female cultivator named Miaomiao?"
"No, we're just friends, but we have different personalities and ways of doing things. There's nothing else to it."
Jiang Yun thought of Zhang Miaomiao, who looked like a little girl. He had just told Jiang Qiuyue about his experience.
"Brother, you must hurry up. The inheritance of our Jiang family depends on you."
"Why, are you urging your brother to get married? I heard that you're known as the most beautiful, talented, and well-connected female cultivator. When will you find a husband of your dreams?"
When Jiang Yun heard his sister urging him to get married, he immediately smiled and said,
"You come to tease me too!"
Jiang Qiuyue burst out laughing when she heard this, but then a sense of calmness rose in her heart. She hadn't felt this calm in a long time. Here in Bibotan, everyone else, except her master and senior sister, was timid when they saw her.
As she was a level lower in cultivation than her senior sister, she did not dare to act recklessly. Only in front of her brother could Jiang Qiuyue be so relaxed. It was as if they had returned to the relationship they had when they were little.
"Brother, are you going to leave next?"
Jiang Qiuyue stared at the calm water for a moment before asking softly. She felt as though her brother had become a mere passerby after entering the world of immortal cultivation. He seemed incompatible with this world, always on the move, always alone, blending in with the world yet also seeming to detach himself, like a traveler quietly observing.
Jiang Yun didn't say anything after hearing this. He looked at the entire pool surrounded by cliffs. There were not only attics around it, but also some cultivated spiritual fields.
"I also want to find a place like this where I can practice in peace and without being disturbed. Unfortunately, there are too many troubles in the world, and I have too many greedy desires. I can't stop. This time I want to practice well for a few years."
This was Jiang Yun's feeling at the moment. When he came to the East China Sea to cultivate immortals, he fell deeply in love with this place. Although the main theme here was the sea, it was as if the world wrapped him up, making him feel like he was in a small world on his own island.
"Great, there are many places like this in the East China Sea. Brother, please wait a moment!"
Jiang Qiuyue thought of something, turned around and went back to her attic, and then soon came out pressing a jade slip.
"What's this?"
Jiang Yun took the jade slip handed to him by his sister. He scanned it with his spiritual sense and saw the five big words "Sun Divine Body Art" written at the beginning.
"I didn't expect you to remember."
This was surprisingly the next volume of Jiang Yun's body-refining technique. He had thought he would have to wait until he reached the Golden Core stage to obtain the Sun Divine Body Art, which could be cultivated. He hadn't expected his sister to remember his instructions.
"I came here not long ago and exchanged it after I survived the monster crisis. It's a pity that my brother never came."
After listening to his sister's words, Jiang Yun solemnly put the jade slip into his storage bag. He looked at Jiang Qiuyue's cultivation level and found that she had reached the middle stage of foundation building.
"Please keep this pill!"
Jiang Yun finished speaking and took out a white jade bottle from his storage bag. This was the only Shenpo Pill he had, and he had originally planned to wait a while before taking it. But when he saw the gift his sister had given him, he decided to give it to her.
"This is?"
"The elixirs that help cultivators grow their spirits and souls are hard to come by. If you have any channels, could you help me buy some?"
"Okay, brother will give you a list later."
The two then recounted Jiang Yun's experiences in Ziyun Market, mentioning Uncle Fu. Jiang Yun explained that Uncle Fu had retired to Jiangjia Village, intending to spend his final years there. He also mentioned that the Biyun Jiang family had essentially fallen apart. Some had left to become independent cultivators, while others had taken refuge with other families.
The two of them chatted freely, like old friends. Even Jiang Yun's soul felt a sense of peace. In the original owner's memory, when he and Jiang Qiuyue were children, there were many times when they were free to chat and talk about everything.
But back then, Jiang Yun was the one who did most of the talking, while Jiang Qiuyue listened quietly. Just like now, Jiang Qiuyue would eventually grow up. The little girl who once just listened now had her own opinions and ideas.
As the two of them talked, the sky gradually darkened. Jiang Yun didn't plan to stay here tonight. From the True Monarch Bixia to the maids, the entire Bi Bo Tan area was filled with female cultivators. It wasn't appropriate for Jiang Yun, a first-level male cultivator, to stay here.
"Brother, if you don't like crowds, there's a good place to go."
Seeing that her brother was about to leave, Jiang Qiuyue suddenly thought of something and spoke quickly.
"Which place?"
He actually wanted to have a secret place for cultivation where he could grow magical herbs and herbs, so that his secrets would not be discovered by the monks.
"A small island near Bi Bo Island."
Jiang Yun was immediately interested after listening to Jiang Qiuyue's story. This place was a small island just north of Bibo Island.
