Chapter 20 The Reason
After accepting Wu Buyu's offer, Huang Pinjie lost the desire to continue browsing.
She arrived at the South Water Wharf, showed the Fire Fox Token, and waited for the boat while drinking spiritual tea. Soon, a large ship bound for the South Water arrived.
This ship looks comfortable, but it's also expensive. However, this is not a problem for Huang Pinjie, who has the Fire Fox Token.
The ship's stewards invited Huang Pinjie up to the suite on the third floor, a symbol of prestige.
Huang Pinjie carefully examined the place and was very satisfied. The house was like a cave dwelling, with a living room and a quiet room. The quiet room also had an independent small magic array that automatically gathered spiritual energy.
Since she would be living on the ship for several days, Huang Pinjie hung up a sign saying "No Entry" after entering the room, indicating that no waiters were needed during this period.
She released Wu Buyu and Ji Er's family, then rummaged through the medicine bottles given to her by Shan Zhongfeng, picked out a bottle of medicine that clearly stated it had excellent healing effects, poured out a pill and fed it to Wu Buyu.
Not long after Wu Buyu took the pill, he began to have diarrhea.
He had diarrhea for three days and three nights, excreting whatever he ate, and his eyes were swollen from the diarrhea, but his blood and energy gradually became abundant, and his injuries healed very quickly.
Wu Buyu was a cultivator who had seen the world, but he had never seen a pill with such strange effects.
Huang Pinjie laughed and said, "Do you know Shan Zhongfeng, the Fire-Holding Boy of the Kun Dan Room of Tianxu Palace? This is a pill he secretly refined himself."
When he was a child, he ate too many leftover scraps from the alchemy workshop, which spoiled his palate.
He was well-versed in the properties of medicines, but he was impatient and pursued speed, so the pills he refined basically all had side effects, but were very effective. Poor cultivators in the Jade Void Mountains loved to buy them from him.
What you are eating is the elixir he himself refined.
After I left Danxue Mountain, I asked him for some things.
I promised him that after my death, I would give him my inner core to refine elixirs; he was overjoyed and gave me some extra elixirs.
"Alright." Huang Pinjie looked at Wu Buyu and said, "Let me tell you about you. Although I took the Tianjiang route to bypass Zhongzhou, which was a detour, how come you arrived at Cangjiang before me?"
Wu Buyu stared at Huang Pinjie in astonishment, thinking to himself that this fox had even sold her own inner core in advance for the sake of Ji Er's family, no wonder she was able to get out.
And he had already become the fox's servant, and a servant has nothing he can't say to his master.
He then smiled bitterly and said, "That day, after Feng Lie killed a celestial maiden, he forcibly underwent Nirvana and self-dissolving. We Phoenixes benefited from it to some extent."
Having obtained the magic and supernatural powers, the group hurriedly went back to pack their bags and flee.
But I thought this matter had nothing to do with me. I'm too old, and I've been on duty at the Crane Tower of Fulu Palace for so many years. Many old goddesses in the Guiyuan have sat with me, so I should have some face to lose.
Even if the newcomers don't give me face, let them kill me. I'm old, and I just want to die in Luohuang Ridge. I don't want to move, so I went back to my own nest.
About five hours later, the little celestial maiden found me, but without saying a word, she tried to lock me up with iron chains.
I am willing to die, but I want to die quickly and painlessly. I don't want to suffer in life, and I certainly don't want to die in an undignified way.
So I pleaded with that woman to just kill me and take my head.
She refused and insisted on locking me up, so I fought tooth and nail, injuring her as I escaped.
"I flew all the way, intending to take refuge at Ya Shui Yun Ya, but I was captured by the celestial maidens and paraded along the Kunlun Mountain Avenue."
At this point, Wu Buyu covered his face and wept, saying, "I've lost all face, but I'm not destined to die."
When Canglan Shenjun was parading through Kunshan Road, he was blocked halfway by the procession while riding a tiger.
In the chaos, some bird defecated on the face of Canglan Jun's mount. The tiger was enraged and immediately bit off a piece of flesh from Tianyi's arm, overturned many cages, and even took advantage of the chaos to bite off our handcuffs. I took advantage of the chaos to run away again.
This time I went straight to Cangzhou, flying day and night for four days. In the end, I ran into the guards under Canglan Jun on patrol and they shot me down.
I noticed that among the group of cultivators, there was a wolf cultivator whose cultivation was clearly extraordinary, but his armor was very shabby and far from matching that of a Xuanling Realm cultivator. So I struck up a conversation with him, intending to bribe him.
The wolf cultivator said he had too many cubs and life was very difficult, so he wanted to pluck a few of my tail feathers to give to his wife.
As he spoke, Wu Buyu covered his old face and said, "I then plucked out the two tail feathers that had not yet been refined and gave them to him."
I also promised him that if he could send me away, I would give him a piece of the finest jade from Kunlun and five thousand spirit crystals, and I guaranteed that his wife would like it.
He was satisfied with the jade and treasures I promised, saying that although their Canglan God Lord was benevolent and didn't interfere much with the cultivators under his command, they couldn't cause trouble for the God Lord.
Since I have no travel permit, the slave seal will definitely be issued, but he can find me a good buyer, so I won't have to worry about being investigated by the higher-ups. You know what happens next.
Huang Pinjie curled her lip and said, "You're such a coward."
Wu Buyu replied irritably, "If I weren't bad, I would have died long ago."
"Hey, old man, you're getting all high and mighty now." Huang Pinjie laughed. "Alright, I won't tease you anymore. Ji Zhuang and you are truly destined to meet. Now that you're here, they... he'll teach you."
Wu Buyu bowed deeply and said, "Yes, Master."
After taking in Wu Buyu, Huang Pinjie originally intended to be a hands-off manager and hand over Ji Rong to him to teach as well; however, she felt that Wu Buyu was spineless, rigid in his thinking, and focused on bloodlines.
If we let him teach her, he will surely find out that Ji Rong is different; it's better not to let him know.
——————
The South River is a great river that connects the northern border to the desolate sea, and it belongs to the Canglan God.
Canglan God Lord is a born deity.
Unlike other deities, the Canglan God was born somewhat late, so his authority is not very great. He currently controls the Nanshui River, the Canghe River, the Lanjiang River, and the two major mountain ranges of Cang and Lan.
Perhaps because He was born of Heaven and Earth, His people, who admired Him, often came to Him with their tributaries and mountains, and He accepted them all without hesitation.
The water from the south was not entirely His from the beginning.
Originally, most of the South River belonged to the Tianjiang River, and only a small portion belonged to the Canghe River. However, as more and more races came to submit to the cause, they subdued the original disobedient tribes. But they did not know how to govern, so they sent a leader to the Canglan God Lord and asked for allegiance.
When the Canglan God saw that they had been using his name for quite some time, he realized that this couldn't go on, so he accepted them, and that's how the Nanshui came to be.
Since Nanshui has taken on the name Canglan, it must naturally possess matching strength.
Therefore, the Canglan God Lord personally led his water troops to dredge the water veins and open up the entrance from the South Water to the Desolate Sea.
From then on, the South River truly became a great river, and the spiritual energy on it surged as if it had been connected to the main vein.
After this incident, people began to speculate that Canglan God, as a child born of heaven and earth, had certain privileges, which might be that His authority was destined to grow.
Secondly, it is also possible that the Divine Lord Canglan was favored by Heaven and would be able to repair the spiritual veins.
Otherwise, other states are not without the phenomenon of waterways and mountains merging together. Their territory has expanded, but even if they dredge, it only makes the water flow more smoothly and the mountains appear larger.
The spiritual energy in those places will remain the same as before, and will not increase in the slightest.
