night.
The mountains echoed with the chirping of insects, and streams murmured at their foot.
The bright moon hangs high, stars are scattered everywhere, and shooting stars occasionally streak across the sky. There are fireflies twinkling in the courtyard. Because Xiao Tuanzi often comes to Longhu Temple to catch insects, there are far fewer fireflies in the temple than before.
Qin Luo left the room and looked up at the brilliant starry sky. The beautiful scenery made him feel refreshed and relaxed.
He was preparing to travel to Yanbei City.
Before leaving, there was one more thing he wanted to do.
After leaving Longhu Temple, Qin Luo arrived at Mirror Lake. The local earth god of Mirror Lake noticed Qin Luo's appearance and immediately came out of the temple, bowing respectfully, "Great Immortal."
They hadn't met for a while. The Mirror Lake Land God had become much younger, now resembling a refined and cultured middle-aged scholar, completely different from his short and elderly appearance back then.
Qin Luo smiled and cupped his hands, saying, "Senior, I would like to trouble you to summon the gods of the Purple Cloud Mountain Range, as well as the powerful spirits in the mountains, and to prevent the indiscriminate killing of innocent people."
"no problem."
The Earth God of Mirror Lake nodded in agreement.
When Qin Luo mentioned this matter to him some time ago, he had been traveling in the Ziyun Mountains, meeting with other mountain gods and greeting the mountain spirits.
Qin Luo continued, "Tomorrow night, after sunset, we will have a gathering in Black Mountain. Thank you for your help, senior."
"It's no trouble at all."
The Earth God of Jinghu feels deeply honored.
After Qin Luo left, the Earth God of Mirror Lake came to the lakeside and said with a smile to the lake, "Grandma, the Great Immortal invites you to a gathering at Black Mountain tomorrow night."
The silver-haired dragon girl appeared by the lake. She wore a long silver dress, her smooth silver hair fluttering in the wind. Her golden eyes narrowed slightly, filled with anger. "Heh, don't think I didn't hear you. The master didn't invite me at all."
"The spirits you mentioned must include you. Your great-aunt is a descendant of the water god and has a noble status."
"She has never come to see me."
"Maybe he's already forgotten me."
The silver-haired dragon girl's eyes were full of grievance.
The Earth God of Mirror Lake comforted her, saying, "Great Immortal, you must remember me, Grandma. I have other matters to attend to, so I won't disturb you any longer. Remember to head to Black Mountain tomorrow night; perhaps there will be an opportunity there."
"An opportunity!"
The silver-haired dragon girl's eyes lit up.
...
Qin Luo returned to Longhu Temple.
He encountered his master in the backyard. Zhang Fulong was sitting with his back against a peach tree, muttering something to himself.
Qin Luo only heard the words "old friend". He didn't know who his master was talking to. There was no one else in the courtyard, only the old peach tree that bloomed every year but never bore fruit.
"Master!"
Qin Luo greeted him with a smile.
When Zhang Fulong saw Qin Luo, he stood up, his deep eyes shining. "Why aren't you resting yet?"
Qin Luo answered truthfully: "I just arrived at Mirror Lake and am preparing to invite the gods and spirits of the mountains to a gathering."
“The mountains used to be very lively, with many spirits and monsters, but things are not what they used to be.” Zhang Fulong sighed, “Time flies, and things have changed.”
Qin Luo respectfully said, "Master, I plan to go to Yanbei City in a couple of days and may have to leave for a while."
Zhang Fulong nodded, "It's good to go out and see the world, and temper one's mind amidst the hustle and bustle of life."
Qin Luo suddenly remembered something, "Master, you said you would teach me a new supernatural power?"
Zhang Fulong nodded with a smile, "You actually remember, so I'll teach you the Dao Ancestor's ultimate technique."
Qin Luo's eyes were filled with anticipation.
Zhang Fulong reached out his hand, his fingers landing on Qin Luo's brow, and five large characters appeared in his mind.
"One Qi transforms into Three Pure Ones".
Qin Luo saw a figure ethereal and otherworldly, who used the One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones technique in his sea of consciousness. One figure transformed into three, and then the three figures merged into a majestic figure, making even heaven and earth appear small in comparison.
"No need to rush into cultivation, take your time to comprehend it first." Zhang Fulong patted Qin Luo on the shoulder.
"This disciple will keep it in mind!"
Qin Luo bowed respectfully, but when he looked up, Zhang Fulong had already left the courtyard.
The next day, early morning.
Jin Yan was chopping firewood in the yard.
Ziyue was washing clothes in the yard.
Click!
A thick branch fell from the tree.
Ziyue looked up abruptly, her eyes full of confusion. "You scared me! How could a branch of this peach tree suddenly break off? There hasn't been any wind lately."
Jin Yan looked at the thick tree branch and smiled憨厚ly, "Junior Sister, it's perfect for firewood."
Qin Luo came into the courtyard and saw the peach wood lying on the ground. His eyes lit up. "Peach wood can ward off evil and bring good fortune. It shouldn't be wasted. I'll make it into weapons."
"Great!"
Zi Yue's face was full of anticipation.
What weapons do you want?
"Senior brother, I want a wooden sword."
"Senior brother, I want a wooden stick."
"I'll make it for you."
Qin Luo divided the peach wood into three parts, and soon made two peach wood swords and a wooden stick.
Some leftover materials were used to make peach charms.
Ziyue brandished her wooden sword, while Jinyan brandished his wooden stick; they both smiled happily.
Qin Luo looked at the peach wood sword in his hand. He felt that the peach wood sword had a spirit. "From now on, you will be called Zhan Xie!"
A barely perceptible golden light shone from Zhanxie.
Qin Luo used his supernatural powers to quickly shrink Zhanxie to the length of a finger, and placed it on his waist.
Upon seeing this, Zi Yue blinked and exclaimed, "Senior brother, what kind of supernatural power is this? It's amazing!"
Qin Luo replied with a smile, "This is the size of the Ruyi. I will teach you how to use it when you reach the Nourishing Life Realm."
Jin Yan asked in confusion, "What is the Health Preservation Realm?"
Zi Yue answered first, "Master said that the first realm is the Realm of Awakening to Self, which involves going to bed early and getting up early to awaken one's true self; the second realm is the Realm of Nourishing Life, which involves eating the morning dew and drinking the evening mist, and not eating human food; the third realm is the Realm of Freedom, which involves being unrestrained and roaming freely in the world; as for the realms beyond that, I don't know yet."
