Sunset Peak.
The mountains were covered with yellowed fallen leaves.
Qin Luo and Hua Ying followed Zi Yue to the mountainside. They left the stone path, passed through the bushes, and went deep into the forest.
Tick-tock...
A trickle of water flows down the rock face into a clear pool, which is surrounded by moss.
The lush forests and tall bamboos isolated this place, so much so that even Qin Luo, throughout the long river of time, had not noticed it.
A large number of mulberry leaves were scattered on the ground. Qin Luo noticed a mulberry tree not far away, with a thick trunk and excellent growth.
Ziyue pointed to the mulberry tree, "Senior brother, this is the mulberry branch we found in your storage bag back then. It produces a lot of mulberries every year. Master and junior brother both love to eat them. There are so many mulberries that we can't finish them all, so we have to dry them and store them. Dried mulberries are great for making tea."
These are mulberry branches that Qin Luo and Xiao Tuanzi broke off on the road. Mulberry trees grow quickly, and with the careful care of their junior sister, this mulberry tree is growing very well.
How did you find this place?
"Hehe, I discovered it by chance when I went back to the Taoist temple a while ago because my stomach suddenly felt uncomfortable."
"This place can be considered a pure land."
Ziyue put down the little black cat in her arms, dipped her hands into the clear puddle, and smiled. "Sister Huaying, this water is so cool and refreshing, and it's amazing. I used to cut my hand, and soaking it in it helped. It also has a skin-whitening effect. You should try it."
"There is a strong spiritual substance in this."
Hua Ying squatted down beside Zi Yue, soaking her hands in cool water, which felt refreshing and comfortable.
Qin Luo observed Luoxia Peak, which was also a geomantically auspicious place. Unfortunately, it had been tampered with, and its spiritual veins had been severed, making it extremely difficult to cultivate immortality on the mountain.
"The great path doesn't need to be built; let nature take its course."
If Qin Luo repairs the spiritual veins here, the surrounding spiritual energy will gather towards Luoxia Peak, making only Black Mountain and Luoxia Peak in the Ziyun Mountain Range suitable for cultivation.
Ziyue shook her head.
She didn't understand what Qin Luo was saying.
Qin Luo reached out and caught the mountain spring water flowing down from the mountain. After drinking the water, he felt a refreshing sensation. He couldn't help but exclaim, "After living in Longhu Temple for so many years, I only learned about such sweet mountain spring water when I went down the mountain to fetch water."
Hua Ying said softly, "So the treasure was right in front of us."
Ziyue took her hand out of the puddle and then splashed the water onto the little black cat. The little black cat shrank to the ground, turning its head away expressionlessly, feeling only boredom.
"Hahaha."
Ziyue smiled happily.
Qin Luo washed his face with spring water and immediately felt refreshed. "That feels so good!"
Hua Ying scooped up a handful of water and threw it high into the air. The clear mountain spring water scattered into countless tiny droplets. Qin Luo watched as beams of light shone through the gaps between the leaves into this small world, and even the light itself seemed to have a shape.
"So beautiful!"
Hua Ying murmured softly.
"It really is a great place!"
Qin Luo took out the golden gourd from his pocket. He used the Size Control System to transform the gourd, which was originally the size of a thumb, into a large golden gourd. Then he replaced the wine in the small dumpling with spring water.
After a short rest, Qin Luo and his group returned to the path halfway up the mountain. The forests were ablaze with color, the sky was ablaze with red clouds, and wisps of smoke from cooking fires were blown away by the evening breeze.
Zi Yue pointed to the foot of the mountain, her eyes filled with laughter, and said excitedly, "Senior brother, Master has indeed returned."
Qin Luo and Hua Ying were not surprised.
Zhang Fulong returned to Luoxia Peak with his bundle on his back. He stood tall and straight, giving him an imposing and upright appearance from afar.
Qin Luo looked at Zi Yue and Hua Ying and said softly, "You two go back first. I'll talk to my master."
"Senior brother, we're leaving now!"
Ziyue and Huaying walked towards Longhu Temple.
Standing halfway up the mountain, Qin Luo looked at the magnificent sunset and said softly, "The sunset at Longhu Temple is still the most beautiful."
A gentle breeze blew by.
Ziyue ran back and looked at the little black cat lying halfway up the mountain, its chin resting on one hand.
"I almost forgot about Little Blackie."
"Senior brother, I'll go back and make you some tea first."
"Okay, junior sister."
Ziyue picked up the little black cat and left.
Bathed in the glow of the sunset, Qin Luo exuded a pure aura that seemed so strong that a gust of wind could dissipate it.
Each time he circulated the One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones technique, Qin Luo felt as if he were floating on air, as if he could leap to the heavens with a single bound. This feeling was wonderful, but he preferred to be grounded. Although he could not sense the existence of the Great Dao, he was also not bound by it, and he felt completely relaxed.
Zhang Fulong reached the mountainside, his eyes deep and profound. Qin Luo bowed respectfully and said, "Master!"
"You have suffered a lot."
Zhang Fulong sighed softly.
Qin Luo shook his head and said respectfully, "Master, I have many questions for you."
Zhang Fulong turned around and sat down in the mountains. He smiled and said, "Ask whatever you want to ask."
Qin Luo sat down next to Zhang Fulong and said softly, "Master, do you know about Peach Mountain?"
"It seems you already knew!"
"This disciple still has many questions."
Zhang Fulong frowned slightly, then smiled and said, "It's a long story. I used to be exceptionally talented and led oxen for the Dao Ancestor. I was the Dao Ancestor's most prized disciple. During the Dao Discussion at Luofu, I overpowered all the geniuses and became the focus of everyone's attention."
"I met Yao, a girl from the Wu tribe, in Luofu Cave. She was very intelligent and we got along very well. We went through many stories together. Later, she told me that she approached me only to kill me, but she ultimately chose not to kill me."
"Later I received news that after Yao returned to the Witch Clan, she was sentenced to death by the Witch Clan elders, and her soul was imprisoned in Peach Mountain, never to be reborn."
