Chapter 315: Unequal Fruition
At night, the sky is full of stars.
In the huge Taoist temple, red lanterns are lit and the evening breeze is blowing.
The disciples of the immortal sects and aristocratic families from Qingyun World raised their glasses and picked up their chopsticks in silence, without even looking up, eating with concentration and seriousness, as if they were indifferent to everything and nothing else.
But only in between chewing, would they find that they would often subconsciously look up and look at the late figure at the table of Tianshuyuan. They saw that he was eating calmly and with a calm expression, but his eyes were slightly squinting, and they didn't know if it was natural.
huff huff
At the immortal table of Lingjian Mountain, Yan Tai, the head of Tianjian Peak, who was tasting the immortal soup, looked slightly stunned.
Although his expression was calm, he was still thinking about how to find an opportunity to kill Ji You. At this moment, he suddenly felt a faint cool breeze under the table, one gust after another, and even the tablecloth was shaking slightly.
In such a formal occasion, who would be swinging their feet under the table?
He raised his head and glanced across the table, and saw that everyone looked mysterious, especially the young master, who was particularly cold and aloof.
The area around here was full of important figures from the Immortal Sect, so he couldn't release his divine sense rudely. After searching for a while but couldn't find the source, he had to give up.
At this time, Yan Shu also opened his mouth slightly and put a spoonful of soup into his mouth.
At the hour of Xu, the night deepened and people in the West District gradually began to put down their drinks and leave.
Ji You had almost finished eating, grabbed a handful of lingkui seeds from the table, and then stood up and left.
Seeing him stand up, Cao Jinsong, Ban Yangshu, Wen Zhengxin and others put down their bowls and chopsticks and followed him along the sidewalk in the direction he left.
They hadn't seen Ji You for a long time and had many questions in their minds that needed him to answer.
At this time, the young master of Lingjian Mountain remained calm, without even raising her eyes. She picked up her chopsticks and sipped, as if everything had nothing to do with her and she didn't care about the figure that had left.
But before long she couldn't wait any longer, she put down her chopsticks and stared blankly for a while, then stood up in the dark.
Seeing this, Ding Yao and Zhuo Wanqiu also stood up from the disciples' seats and followed him away.
In fact, they put down their chopsticks and prepared to leave when Ji You left, because they knew that their master would definitely be unable to sit still when she saw her husband leave.
But at this moment, some Lingzhou families came one after another and began to hand in visiting cards, inviting Yan Shuyi to a private banquet.
Chen Xi of the Chen Immortal Clan also stood up, wanting to invite her to his courtyard for a chat.
Shang Xiyao, a member of the Daoist sect, was also among those invited by Chen Xi. Seeing this, he stood up and walked towards Yan Shuyi: "I was away at the last Heavenly Dao Conference because I was in seclusion. It seems like it's been many years since we last met. It's still early today, so why don't you join us for a chat, Little Master Jian?"
Everyone knows that Shang Xiyao admires the young master of Lingjian Mountain and has visited Lingjian Mountain many times with great fanfare, so this scene attracted a lot of people's attention.
"Sorry, I'm tired today."
Yan Shuyi spoke softly, nodded to everyone, and then walked towards the pavilion where he was staying.
Seeing this, Shang Xiyao's smile faded.
The holder of the weapon of this generation at Lingjian Mountain is a woman. If she wants to continue her bloodline, she must get married. Moreover, facing Tianjian Peak, she also needs more help, so other immortal sects have many plans for this.
So Shang Xiyao chose to make a big fuss many years ago, hoping to take the title first by spreading rumors.
Over the years, he took several concubines, but always kept the position of wife. However, after trying for many years, he kept hitting a wall.
He frowned secretly, not knowing what the other party was thinking. His heart was in a mess, but in the end he did not show it. He turned around and left with Chen Xi, Huo Xingzhong and others.
As one figure after another disappeared from the Gathering of Immortals Banquet, the White Jade Dojo gradually became empty.
Some young men who were going to participate in the competition tomorrow returned to the academy to have a good rest, while more people gathered in Louwailou in Rihua County.
The governor of Rihua County invited a singing and dancing troupe and an opera troupe, hosted by a local aristocratic family, with the original intention of inviting them to have fun.
But so much had happened tonight that they had no desire to have fun and could only talk non-stop.
"It seems that the relationship between this Taoist sect disciple and the young master is not as close as outsiders think. I thought they were really destined to be together."
"Ordinary people think so, but in fact, Shang Xiyao has never met the Little Master Jian in his many visits to Lingjian Mountain. The two are not familiar with each other, and the Little Master Jian has always hated people trying to use him to interfere in Lingjian Mountain."
The head of the Yongzhou Long family murmured in response and blinked gently, "However, Lady Jian will eventually marry, and for the sake of Lingjian Mountain's reputation, she can't marry down. I really don't know who she wants to choose."
He Long, the elder of the He family, frowned upon hearing this: "Except for Yuan Caiwei of the Dan Sect, I haven't heard that she is on good terms with other disciples."
"The Master's marriage must be a major event that could shake the world. How could we possibly understand it? However, the disparity between the direct descendants has been clearly seen today."
Hearing this, several family heads in the building nodded.
Although, except for the Tianshu Academy, each sect has its own direct disciples, and they may seem similar to outsiders, the real holders of the weapons do have the temperament of a superior.
Just like when Chen Xi went to deliver the invitation, he had to lower his body slightly when showing courtesy.
A few people were chatting and laughing, when suddenly they saw Guo Huai, the elder of the Guo family who had been deep in thought, open his mouth as if he wanted to say something.
So everyone stopped smiling and turned to look at Guo Huai.
In fact, they all knew what Guo Huai wanted to say, but they just didn't know how to start.
"You said that Ji You is also here to participate in the Immortal Tour?"
After he said this, everyone's thoughts returned to the scene where Ji You walked out of the Moon Gate with a calm expression and was invited to sit at the main table by the elders of the Heavenly Book Academy.
He Long, the elder of the He family, shook his head upon seeing this: "His name is not on the Tianshu Academy's roster, so he probably won't be participating in the duel."
Guo Huai opened his mouth with a complicated expression: "Didn't they say he offended the five major immortal sects? Could it be a rumor?"
"Everyone has witnessed the five major immortal sects' inquiry into the Shantian Academy, so it's impossible to fake it."
"Then why was he able to come so openly, yet the Five Great Immortal Sects showed no reaction? And why was he able to sit at the same table with the Palace Master?"
As soon as the words fell, everyone in the room fixed their eyes, and finally fell into the same silence as at the Gathering of Immortals Banquet.
The same atmosphere and similar conversations also appeared in the conversations of other people.
Throughout the night, no one could erase the image of Ji You appearing at the Gathering of Immortals from their minds.
At the same time, Ji You was in the east courtyard of the pavilion where he was staying at the Tianshu Academy, swaying left and right while studying the spiritual tea provided by the Youxian Society.
Behind him, Cao Jinsong, Ban Yangshu and Wen Zhengxin stared at his back with confusion and puzzlement in their eyes.
"Traitor, what have you been doing all spring?"
"I went to practice, and listened to some little songs along the way."
Cao Jinsong's mouth trembled. "You've cultivated to the point where the five major immortal sects are united in hunting you down? I thought you were robbing people and charging them a fee!"
Ban Yangshu also had a strange look on his face: "Could it be that your little tune has been heard on the bed of the Immortal Sect's leader?"
Ji You turned around when he heard the voice: "This matter is a long story."
"Then keep it brief."
"I killed five Boundless Realms."
Cao Jinsong's mind froze for a moment, and he immediately pressed his temples: "Stop, you...you'd better keep it long. I'm old and can't stand anything too exciting."
Ji Youxin said that there were so many evil things going on: "Things are very complicated. You only need to know that the reason why the five major immortal sects are so hostile to me is because five elders of the Boundless Realm died at my hands."
As soon as the words fell, the room fell into silence, and under the dim candlelight, there were three shocked expressions.
The Boundless Realm is the fourth of the five upper realms, and is worthy of the title of great power. Even for the Immortal Sect, Boundless is a precious combat force.
For Cao Jinsong and others, such people have always been far away from them. Even the boundless territory of Tianshu Academy has only been seen a few times by them.
They had no idea that Ji You could actually kill five powerful people of this realm.
Cao Jinsong looked at him with shock: "One for each family?"
Ji You nodded: "Everything is in good order, no one is treated unfairly."
"Why did you kill them?"
"In order to save people, I had no choice."
Ban Yangshu tightened his trouser legs at this moment: "People from Danzong?"
Ji You was silent for a long time before he raised his head. "It is indeed related to the Dan Sect. The mountain was closed because of this. However, I am the one who is right, so the five major immortal sects dare not do anything to me in public."
Wen Zhengxin took over and said, "That being said, since the five major immortal sects are hostile to you, it means that this place is still dangerous. Why did you come to the Immortal Traveling Association to join in the fun?"
"Except for the Dan Sect, the other six of the seven major immortal sects are secretly planning something. I think there is something wrong and I need to see it with my own eyes."
"It's Danzong again, Wujiang again, and even Tianshuyuan is involved? What on earth is going on?"
"Another relic has been opened..."
Hearing these words, the three of them felt a sudden jolt in their hearts, their eyes widening even wider than when they heard that he had killed five Wujiangs.
Cao Jinsong was not involved in the Qiling incident, but Ban Yangshu and Wen Zhengxin were there and naturally knew the danger involved.
I thought that this matter had come to an end after the death of the Zheng family's ancestor, but I never thought that more relics would be opened.
At this moment, they finally understood why Ji You had gotten into such a big disaster, and also thought of the various unusual movements in Qingyun Tianxia.
"Do you want to know what happened after another relic was opened?"
Upon hearing this, Wen Zhengxin and Ban Yangshu immediately waved their hands and shook their heads.
Cao Jinsong roared, "Shut up, you traitor!"
They can't kill Wujiang, so he has to keep his life alive.
Qingyun Tianxia is not a world where information is open. Sometimes people have to be ignorant to feel safe. They have long been accustomed to this kind of thing.
In fact, Ji You had not decided whether to tell them the whole story. After all, the matter was of great importance, and sometimes knowing was not necessarily better than not knowing.
So after hearing their refusal, I stopped the urge to elaborate.
They just need to know the general idea and be prepared.
Ji You came back to his senses: "The five major immortal sects asked Shantian Academy, and they said that the people from the Elders' Pavilion sent people to Fengzhou?"
Cao Jinsong nodded. "These old guys have done some good things, preventing the people of Fengzhou from suffering. As for Kuang Shusheng and Lao Qiu, have they been taken away by Lingjian Mountain?"
"right."
"No wonder."
After Ji You finished speaking, he looked up and glanced out the window: "It's almost time, I'm going out for a while."
If it were an ordinary time, they would definitely ask, what are you doing out there after dark, the five major immortal sects are all watching you, you'd better behave yourself, but this time he said nothing.
Because he knew that the young master of Lingjian Mountain might be waiting for him.
After thinking about it several times, Wen Zhengxin couldn't help but think of the cold and arrogant empress who had just looked down on everyone at the Gathering of Immortals Banquet. So when he sent Ji You out, he couldn't help but notice the pavilion where the young master of Lingjian Mountain was staying.
It was already dark, but there were no lights on in the pavilion. It seemed that they were going to have a tryst outside.
Who would have thought that such a cold-hearted person would sneak out in the middle of the night to look for her husband?
Under the dim night, Ji You left the Rihua Fairy Garden, then went to the west of the city and came to the gate of an ancient courtyard.
This place is very far away from the fairy garden, and there is spiritual energy flowing slowly around it. It seems that there must be a magic weapon.
He had messaged Yan Shuyi before he came, and the message he received was at this address. It seemed that Yan Shuyi anticipated that there would be a lot of eyes on him, and knew that it would be inconvenient to meet in the fairy garden, so he specially rented a yard.
Ji You reached out and pushed the door, then gently pushed open the courtyard door.
In the quiet courtyard, Ding Yao and Zhuo Wanqiu were waiting. When they heard the sound of the door opening, they immediately turned around to look.
"Uncle."
"haven't seen you for a long time."
"Master!"
"?"
Just as Ji You finished speaking, he was attracted by a voice. Then he saw a little girl running out from the door. She looked surprised and asked, "Why is Qiu Ru here too?"
"She kept saying she missed you, and the judge said it was time to take her out to see the world, so he brought her out together."
"You've grown taller."
Ji You looked at Qiu Ru in front of him and found that she was a head taller than the last time he saw her.
Qiu Ru took out a candied fruit from her pocket and secretly put it into his hand.
Ji You rubbed his head and looked at Ding Yao and Zhuo Wanqiu: "How are Kuang Cheng and Wei Rui?"
“They’re all pretty good too.”
"Where is your judge?"
"In the room, waiting for the young master to come in..."
"?"
Ji You narrowed his eyes and then walked towards the door in front of him.
At this time, the young lady was standing in the lighted room, with her pair of soft, pink and white delicate feet stepping on the bamboo strips under the window.
When she came, she had already taken off the glass fairy crown on her head. Now her long hair fell like a waterfall to her waist. She stood with her hands behind her back and looked at the night sky behind the house, looking mysterious.
At this moment, Yan Shu, who had heard the sound, slowly turned around and looked at Ji You. His expression was the same as at the Gathering of Immortals Feast, saying, "How is the Dan Sect doing now?"
On the eve of the New Year, the young master missed him because of his back pain, and by accident he was filled with wine.
However, she has always been stubborn and refused to admit that she had ever called him "husband" or that she had eaten him. She kept threatening Ji You to forget about it, so when they met again, she was still the Leng Aojian character.
As for Ji You, he was a stranger whom she had only met a few times, and a good friend of Rui'er's sister's lover.
But after all, they were slept with, and she had curled up in his arms and trembled so much. He had called her brother and husband, and had been forced to admit that he was a little water tiger. So when Yan Shuyi spoke, he didn't dare to look into his eyes, but looked away coldly like a banished immortal.
After hearing this, Ji You said, "The disciples on the mountain are fine, there are no casualties, but their resources have been squandered, and the in-laws have suffered heavy casualties. It will be difficult to recover in a short time."
"What about Yongzhou Tianchi and Yuzhou Broken Soul Mountain?"
"Just as you sent me the message, everything is opened."
As Ji You spoke, he sat cross-legged in front of the tea table and poured tea into the cup.
Seeing this, Yan Shuyi also sat down. As soon as her snow-white feet stretched over the tea table, Ji You grabbed them in his palm and placed them on her lap.
After hesitating for a moment, she did not struggle, her eyes still arrogant, as if those were not her jade feet.
"Tianchi, Broken Soul Mountain, Great Desolate Forest, and including Qiling, there are about four ruins that have been opened?"
"No, if you really count Qiling, there should be five."
"Where is the other one?"
Yan Shu also raised his eyes: "In the Baihe Valley of Qingzhou, the Chen family of immortals also opened a relic."
Ji You narrowed his eyes after hearing this: "It seems that after trying the Dao Fruit of the Great Wilderness Forest, the other immortal sects can no longer hold back. However, there is one thing we may not have thought of before."
"What's up?
"Not all relics contain Dao Fruits, or rather, not all relics contain the same number of Dao Fruits. The relic in the hands of the Taoist Sect should be far different from the one opened by the Shanhai Pavilion."
"?"
After leaving Tianchi in Yongzhou, he went to Duanhun Mountain in Yuzhou. He observed the mountain under the strict supervision of the Wendao Sect for several days and found that fewer and fewer people were coming in and out.
Everyone who went in came out with a solemn expression.
Afterwards, most of the carriages traveling between Broken Soul Mountain and the Wending Sect returned empty-handed.
All signs indicate that not much has been found in the ruins of Broken Soul Mountain, so Wendao Zong's face looked very unhappy.
The most important thing is that they have participated in the events of the Great Wilderness Forest. In comparison, they should clearly feel like they have opened the wrong blind box.
Hearing this, Xiao Jianzhu was slightly stunned.
They have been paying attention to the number of ruins opened, and they really didn't expect that the difference in the number of Dao Fruits would be so huge.
Ji You raised his head at this time: "There are countless ruins in Qingyun Jiuzhou, but not many can reach the scale of Qiling. I am afraid that it will cause conflict in the future."
Yan Shuyi spoke solemnly, "It's not the lack of power that's worrying, but the imbalance. The six major immortal sects have always been evenly matched in strength over the years, which is why they can check and balance each other. If the difference between them is so great, there will definitely be constant fighting."
"But in my opinion, whether the fruit is good or bad is more important."
"So far, there has been no incident of any problems after taking the Dao Fruit."
Ji You took a sip of tea. "What about Lang Kun from the Lang family? There's news that he's been resurrected after his death and has bitten many of his disciples to death. This is very similar to the evil species' need to feed on human flesh. I've asked Elder Qi to tell you what the results of the investigation are."
Yan Shu also shook his head: "I sent someone to investigate this matter. Lang Kun did obtain a Dao Fruit, but his cause of death was indeed due to old age."
"But in recent years, demons have invaded and strange phenomena have appeared. Everyone has been saying that the human race's luck will be lost. But suddenly, the human race has received a gift from heaven. This thing just doesn't seem right to me."
"So that's why you came to the Immortal Club?"
Ji You nodded: "I want to see with my own eyes those who have taken the fruit."
Yan Shuyi raised his eyes and said, "Among those who arrived at the Youxian Club today, except for the aristocratic families who are still unaware of the situation, everyone else has the same idea as you."
The Youxian Association cannot compare with the Tiandao Association. It is slightly lacking in both attraction and fame.
But yesterday, countless noble families were surprised, because there were countless important figures showing up at this Immortal Tour, even more than at the Heavenly Dao Conference.
Everyone was puzzled as to why the six major immortal sects attached more importance to the Youxian Association than the Tiandao Association. In fact, what the immortal sects wanted to see was the same as what Ji You saw, which was unknown.
Which method of taking Dao Fruit is better? Will there be different results when disciples with different talents take the same fruit? Are the Dao Fruits obtained from different relics the same? These are all very important.
In other words, this is an observation experiment after taking the fruit.
During the negotiation, Ji You had already peeled the spiritual sunflower seeds he brought from the Juxian Banquet into small piles.
The two of them drank tea and chewed, and the atmosphere gradually became quiet.
The information that needs to be announced has been announced, and what needs to be discussed has been discussed. Naturally, there is nothing else to say.
The young master came back to his senses at this time, his eyes suddenly cold and arrogant: "I already know about the ruins. You have done well. Although you are a disciple of the Heavenly Academy, you are loyal. I will definitely reward you later. You can leave first."
Ji You raised his head: "?"
Yan Shuyi tried to retract his legs calmly, but found that he had no strength left because they were being held tightly.
At this moment, a pair of eyes looked at her lower abdomen, causing her beautiful eyes to narrow slightly.
"What are you looking around for?"
"I'm looking for my own baby..."
"?"
Ji You answered honestly, and saw the feet on his legs curl up. At the same time, a burst of sword energy whistled up, as if it was going to kill the little disciple of Tianshu Academy who was talking nonsense and saying things that never happened, so that he could not make up stories.
But at this moment, the two suddenly heard a soft sound of footsteps coming from outside the door.
After all, this is Rihua City. Although it is far away from the Fairyland, there is no guarantee that someone will come here in secret to follow us.
The two of them became alert instantly, and looked outside the door while their spiritual thoughts roared out.
In the middle of the yard, Qiu Ru wore a wreath woven from willow branches, held the bronze mirror she had asked for from Ding Yao in her hand, gently stroked her belly with one hand, and walked around the yard in a pretentious manner with a hint of arrogance in her eyes.
Children's understanding of the world is still in a confused stage, so they like to learn.
Especially girls, they like to imitate whoever they think is pretty.
Seeing this scene, Ji You turned to look at Yan Shuyi.
In fact, he has always been very fond of the young master of Lingjian Mountain. He was reluctant to do anything to her even when she took the wrong medicine before. He did not come with any sexual intentions this time, nor did he have to bully her as soon as they met.
However, he just couldn't stand Yan Shuyi being so stubborn.
The young master was looking at Qiu Ru at this time, thinking about whether to put the blame on Ding Yao or Zhuo Wanqiu, when he suddenly saw Ji You's fingertips move slightly, and then he heard a creaking sound, and saw the door being closed by a breeze.
Under the tea table, the pair of snow-white jade feet couldn't help but curl up slightly.
Then, the sword energy in the room began to rise continuously.
Yan Shuyi, who was held in his arms, was full of murderous intent, his eyes were like a raging snow and wind, and then he chased Ji You's lips and bit them continuously. During the struggle, his clothes gradually fell off, revealing a round and smooth body.
Soon, the snow-white little fox was pressed onto the bed to the right of the tea table while struggling.
Ding Yao and Zhuo Wanqiu were looking at the bright moon in the sky at this time, with a confused look on their faces.
"Do you think we should go back to bed or continue waiting here?"
"Master Jian said that she will return after meeting with the disciples of Xiaoxiaotian Academy and will stay in Xianyuan tonight. She asked us to wait."
"When Master Jian came, he specially took a flower petal bath..."
(Please give me a monthly ticket, please give me a monthly ticket, please give me a monthly ticket...or2)
