"Little dumpling, come here to me."
Zi Yue stretched out both hands.
"don't want."
The little dumpling turned its head away proudly.
Ziyue understood its body language, "Next time you come to Longhu Temple, I'll dig up some bugs for you to eat."
Upon hearing that there were insects to eat, the little dumpling immediately flew to Ziyue's shoulder and cuddled, "Chirp chirp chirp."
"It's so slippery!"
Purple Moon gently stroked the little dumpling's feathers.
...
Sunset Peak, Dragon and Tiger Temple.
Wu Qingliu stood outside the Taoist temple for two whole days, which was quite a long time even for a cultivator.
Just as he was about to give up, Qin Luo and Zi Yue returned to Longhu Temple, where they met in front of the temple.
Judging from their attire, Wu Qingliu didn't think they were there to offer incense. "Young friends, are you cultivators from the Dragon Tiger Temple?"
Qin Luo carefully examined the old man before him and discovered that there was spiritual energy within him. "Indeed, I can tell that you are no ordinary person. May I ask what brings you to the Dragon Tiger Temple?"
Wu Qingliu couldn't see through Qin Luo's cultivation level, but Qin Luo saw through him at a glance. He then realized that Longhu Temple was not simple, and his attitude became even more respectful. "I am Wu Qingliu, from Jinyang City. I am a rogue cultivator with low cultivation. I heard that Immortal Master Zhang is cultivating in the mountains, so I came to pay him a visit."
"Welcome, guests from afar! Please come in!"
Qin Luo stepped forward and pushed open the gate of the Taoist temple.
Wu Qingliu was somewhat at a loss. He had been waiting outside the Taoist temple for so long, only to find that the temple had not locked its doors.
As expected of a celestial sect.
Wu Qingliu's eyes were filled with awe.
Ziyue returned to her room carrying her bundle.
Qin Luo led Wu Qingliu to the main hall.
"Master!?"
Qin Luo was shocked. When he saw Zhang Fulong lying on the ground, he thought something had happened to his master.
Hearing the noise, Zhang Fulong opened his eyes, then sat up, yawning, "Disciple, you're back?"
"Master, why are you sleeping here?"
"Yes, how did I get here?"
Zhang Fulong doesn't remember what happened last night.
Wu Qingliu stood respectfully to the side, not daring to speak or even look directly at Zhang Fulong.
Seeing that his master was alright, Qin Luo chuckled and said, "Master, this is Elder Wu from Jinyang City. He is a rogue cultivator who came to visit you. He has been waiting outside the Taoist temple for a long time."
Upon hearing that a rogue cultivator had come to visit, Zhang Fulong immediately perked up, stood up, and warmly welcomed him, saying, "Hehe, fellow Daoist, I am so sorry for not greeting you properly."
"It is my presumptuousness to come here. If I have disturbed your cultivation, please forgive me." Wu Qingliu looked uneasy.
Zhang Fulong forced himself to remain calm and waved his hand, indicating, "We are all fellow Daoists, no need for formalities, let's sit down and talk."
Zhang Fulong invited Wu Qingliu to chat in the pavilion, Qin Luo went to the backyard to make tea, and Zi Yue changed into a loose blue Taoist robe. She took a broom and swept the Taoist temple.
Wu Qingliu originally thought that Master Zhang of Longhu Temple was a high and mighty cultivator who looked down on all living beings, but after meeting him, he found that he was refined, easy-going, and approachable.
"Master Zhang, this is a Fire Spirit Mushroom that I obtained by chance. I hope you will accept it."
Wu Qingliu opened the sandalwood box.
A rich, medicinal fragrance filled the air.
Zhang Fulong had never seen a spiritual herb before, but he knew it was a valuable item. "Fellow Daoist, this gift is too precious. Is there something troubling you?"
"No."
Wu Qingliu waved his hands repeatedly, and said respectfully, "Senior, I've only come to visit you, I have no other intentions."
Zhang Fulong dared not accept such a precious gift. If his identity were exposed later, he would be skinned alive. He did not look at the Fire Spirit Mushroom and said calmly, "Fellow Daoist, I appreciate your kindness, but please take this gift back."
Wu Qingliu wondered what to do if the senior didn't like the gift. Just then, Qin Luo brought over two cups of tea.
"Fellow Daoist, please have some tea."
"Okay, okay."
Wu Qingliu's hands were trembling as he held the teacup.
Zhang Fulong noticed his fear and couldn't help but sneer inwardly. A dignified rogue cultivator, yet so cowardly.
I never expected that my reputation could intimidate rogue cultivators.
Zhang Fulong was secretly delighted.
Wu Qingliu said respectfully, "Senior, I am an elder of the Treasure Pavilion. If the Dragon Tiger Temple ever needs anything in the future, please feel free to come to me."
"must."
Zhang Fulong agreed with a smile.
Despite feeling Zhang Fulong's enthusiasm, Wu Qingliu remained cautious and unsure of what to say. "Senior, I still need to go back to the Treasure Pavilion to handle some matters. I'll come to see you again later."
"Go ahead and get busy."
Zhang Fulong also wanted to send him away.
Seeing Wu Qingliu leave, Zhang Fulong finally felt relieved. This was the first time in so many years that a cultivator had come to Longhu Temple. Fortunately, he was just an insignificant rogue cultivator.
Qin Luo escorted Wu Qingliu to the outside of the Taoist temple.
Wu Qingliu guessed that Zhang Fulong looked down on the Fire Spirit Mushroom, so he thought about whether he could win over Qin Luo. He presented a sandalwood box and said, "Thank you for your trouble, young friend. This Fire Spirit Mushroom is the reward."
"Mr. Wu, no need."
Qin Luo waved his hand in refusal.
He doesn't like to take advantage of others.
Although the Fire Spirit Mushroom is not of high grade, it is still a spiritual herb. Zhang Fulong didn't think much of it, but he didn't expect his disciple to think so too. Wu Qingliu felt very embarrassed. He stuffed the sandalwood box into Qin Luo's hand and said, "Young friend, please accept it."
The back-and-forth was pointless, so Qin Luo reluctantly accepted the Fire Spirit Mushroom. "Thank you, Elder Wu. Please come again when you have time."
"OK."
Wu Qingliu felt much better.
He had only taken two steps when Qin Luo's voice came from behind him, "Old Wu, the spiritual energy in your body has reached the lower dantian, but not the upper dantian. You should pay attention to this in the future."
Wu Qingliu stopped in his tracks and turned around abruptly, only to find that Qin Luo had already returned to the Taoist temple.
"Go to Dantian?"
With the guidance, Wu Qingliu suddenly understood. He used to focus his Qi in his Dantian, but he hadn't gone through the upper Dantian. No wonder he always failed when he tried to build his foundation.
