Chapter 27 Gift
Although she had been mentally prepared for it for a long time, Huang Pinjie still couldn't bear to part with it when the countdown actually began. There are all kinds of suffering in this world, but also many kinds of joy.
Everything will come to nothing, so Huang Pinjie can only remain calm and composed.
Huang Pinjie's decline came very quickly. The moment she realized it, she made a decision about what would happen to her after her death. She laboriously removed Wu Buyu's slave seal and said to him, "I'm entrusting this little guy Ji Zhuang to you from now on."
To keep her promise, she told Ji Er to call Hong Xiangwan over and said, "I can't hold on any longer. Give me the pass and have Wu Buyu go to Yuxu Palace to bring Shan Zhongfeng here."
He then addressed the group inside the room, saying, "After I die, Dao Dan will return to Zhongfeng Mountain, that's what we agreed on; Qingqing, come here."
Huang Pinjie looked at the fox that she had practically raised herself and tied a full pouch around her neck.
Using the light, he quickly pressed a storage ring into Gu Qingqing's mouth and said, "When Shan Zhongfeng arrives, I'll have him take the Dao Pill, and then I'll quickly give you everything I can use. Although I can't restore your aptitude, I think you'll be better off than you are now."
"Good child, from now on, please keep an eye on Ji Rong, that brat, as well as Ji Er and Qing Shi. I'm entrusting them to you."
The two of them huddled together and murmured many things. Huang Pinjie repeatedly told Gu Qingqing to treat Ji Rong and Ji Zhuang as her own younger siblings and to take good care of them. Gu Qingqing nodded repeatedly, sobbing uncontrollably.
Then, Huang Pinjie looked out the window for a while, and then beckoned Hong Xiangwan and said, "Hong Xiangwan, now that the matter of Shan Zhongfeng is over, you can come and get my original tail yourself."
Although I don't have high hopes for you, I think Ji Er's family won't outlive you.
So, in Danzhou, as long as you're alive, you've got to protect my kids.
Hong Xiangwan solemnly clasped her hands in thanks and said, "Thank you for your help. I will certainly live up to your expectations."
Hong Xiangwan brought Wu Buyu the flight order and also prepared clouds to help him fly and plenty of food supplies.
Ji Er stayed by Huang Pinjie's side day and night, without eating, drinking, or saying a word.
One day at dawn, Huang Pinjie was in excruciating pain as she tried to suppress the spiritual energy escaping from her Dao Pill. Suddenly, Ji Er stepped forward and hugged Huang Pinjie, saying, "Sister, Qing Shi and I both want to go with you."
Upon hearing this, Huang Pinjie immediately turned her head and asked in a low voice, "If you leave too, what will happen to the two younger ones?"
Ji Er said this as if she had been relieved. She said, "Sister, you've made all the arrangements, so we won't stay here and freeload."
We wild beasts became spirits, none of us were born or raised, we all learned through our own exploration, and we have taught you everything we can.
"Sister, look how old Qing Shi and I are. We'll probably only live a few years longer than you. Danzhou is a desolate place; we might die even sooner. Rather than dragging our frail bodies away, wasting incense offerings and spirit crystals, we might as well go with you."
Huang Pinjie was silent for a moment, then said, "Okay, I'll make the arrangements."
Ji Er was right; she and Qing Shi were actually just as old as she was.
As a minor cultivator in the Illusionary Transformation Realm or the Fusion Realm, I have already lived for over a hundred years, which is more than enough.
She immediately summoned Wu Buyu and Gu Qingqing over, and the two foxes and the bird chatted for a long time.
Finally, Huang Pinjie summoned Ji Rong and Ji Zhuang. She propped herself up and lovingly stroked Ji Rong's head, then stroked Ji Zhuang's head.
She said gently to Ji Rong, "Good child, your aunt has been really looking forward to seeing the dream world you described these past few days, but your mother, your father and I are running out of time to see it."
Little Ji Rong, I know you have always been intelligent. You must cultivate diligently in the future. Only when your cultivation is high can you live longer and speak freely.
But you must also remember that as cultivators, we can't just focus on our cultivation level; we also need to make ourselves happy so as not to waste this blessing we've received.
Ji Rong looked at the dejected Huang Pinjie, her eyes filled with tears. Ji Zhuang beside her was already wailing, but Ji Rong forced back her tears, raised her neck, and forced a "ha-ga" laugh towards the sky.
Looking at the resilient Ji Rong, Huang Pinjie leaned close to Ji Rong's ear again with satisfaction and said with a smile, "Good child! If you can become a great cultivator, you must pass on your clan's methods so that those ordinary cultivators like your mother can also glimpse some of the mysteries of heaven and earth."
If it can't be repaired, it's okay. Just take it and exchange it for money to make your life better, understand?
Upon hearing this, Ji Rong could no longer laugh and could only watch Huang Pinjie nod frantically.
——————
The next day, Ji Er stared intently at Ji Rong and Ji Zhuang for a long time before taking out four storage bags. She tied two bags to each of them and told them the incantation and how to use them.
Qing Shi then pecked off his own brightly colored feathers and stuck them on Ji Rong and Ji Zhuang respectively.
Ji Rong had a bad feeling, and Ji Zhuang was so shocked that he burst into tears again.
But after that, Ji Er and Qing Shi ignored them.
Three days later, Shan Zhongfeng arrived, waving a handkerchief in one hand and holding Wu Buyu in the other, looking travel-worn.
He grinned as soon as he entered, but then wailed sadly, "Huang Da, why are you about to die? I'm not worried! You've been so good to me, even on your deathbed you still remember the Dao Pills you owe me."
Huang Pinjie asked Shan Zhongfeng for a normal Qi-locking pill without hesitation and ate it, which made her feel much better.
"Shan Zhongfeng, my name is Huang Pinjie!" After saying that, she told Shan Zhongfeng her request. She laboriously took out a bag full of medicinal herbs and handed it to Shan Zhongfeng. Shan Zhongfeng glanced at the bag and nodded.
At this moment, his mind was completely focused on the Profound Spirit Stage Dao Pill he was about to obtain, and he was very easy to talk to.
Looking at his silly expression, Huang Pinjie thought to herself, "How can you make a fool so happy?" She couldn't help but reminisce, "Shan Zhongfeng, your damn alchemy skills! I've known you for so long, and today I finally got to eat a good pill, and it wasn't even made by you. It's not worth it!"
Let's begin!
The sun gradually sank in the west, and the moon climbed high in the sky.
Huang Pinjie let out a long howl at the moon, spitting out a Dao Pill that glowed brightly and was covered with cracks. The Dao Pill was bathed in moonlight, making it look very beautiful.
Ji Er and Qing Shi stood calmly on either side of Huang Pinjie.
Huang Pinjie made a hand seal, transforming into a celestial being, and recited the Dharma "Kui Jie" given to her by Shan Zhongfeng word by word: "...with my body, I offer myself to all sentient beings in heaven and earth who are destined to be with me; with my Dharma, I make up for the deficiencies in their bodies...wonderful."
With the final sound, Huang Pinjie's face was serene as he returned to his beast form and passed away peacefully.
The instant Huang Pinjie breathed her last, Shan Zhongfeng swiftly unleashed a claw strike, sealing the Dao Pill within the treasure box.
He then lifted Hu Qingqing from afar and injected Huang Pinjie's eyes, feet, all usable organs, and the essence of his Dharma tail into Hu Qingqing's body. After thinking for a moment, he painfully took out two consolidation pills and fed them to Hu Qingqing.
Ji Rong looked at the two pills that Shan Zhongfeng had taken out, one large and one small, and they seemed to be from different varieties.
After doing all this, Hong Xiangwan looked at Huang Pinjie, who had just died and would never open her eyes again, and felt that the bond between herself and her had finally dissipated. She deftly swung her sword and cut off Huang Pinjie's tail.
Hong Xiangwan grasped the tail in her paws, and her breathing became erratic. She swung her six tails wildly, crashing straight into a wall and flying out. After a series of crashes, she smashed many buildings to pieces before disappearing from sight.
Shan Zhongfeng felt he had accomplished his mission, and holding the box containing Huang Pinjie's inner core, he both cried and laughed.
After putting away the cage he had given to Huang Pinjie, Shan Zhongfeng tossed a piece of warm, hard wood into the arms of Ji Rong and Ji Zhuang, saying, "You little ones, this Xuanhuan wood contains my aura and is marked with the mark of my Kun Dan Room on Yuxu Peak. It will make your daily life easier."
"If any of you refuse to accept this token and insist on attacking us, fly within three thousand miles of Jade Void Peak and infuse your spiritual energy into this token. I will sense it and come to your aid."
After saying this, Shan Zhongfeng put the box into his sleeve, waved the handkerchief, and the handkerchief floated in the air, rapidly growing larger. Shan Zhongfeng leaped onto the handkerchief and headed towards the Jade Void Mountain Range.
Huang Pinjie, a cultivator at the Profound Spirit Realm, had essentially accumulated all his cultivation essence in this pill. This pill combined poison, magic, and power, making it an extremely precious and rare ingredient. He needed to rush back to secretly refine the pill.
As Hong Xiangwan's sword fell, Huang Pinjie's remaining fur slowly turned to sand and dispersed without wind.
Ji Rong and Ji Zhuang wanted to collect the body, but they couldn't even pick up a handful of ashes, and they cried even more bitterly.
But Ji Er and Qing Shi behind them remained motionless. Ji Rong and Ji Zhuang tried to pull their parents away, but as soon as they touched them, Ji Er and Qing Shi scattered like Huang Pinjie.
It turns out that when Huang Pinjie was chanting the incantation, they chanted along with her and they really went down together.
Ji Rong and Ji Zhuang were numb and bewildered after losing their elder in a single day.
Fortunately, there was still Wu Buyu, the oldest among them, who had seen countless deaths. He placed the unconscious Gu Qingqing, whose meridians had been restored, on the mat, and watched over the numb and weeping Ji Rong and Ji Zhuang.
With Hong Xiangwan's mad departure, the entire Jade Beauty Pavilion was beginning to show signs of chaos.
Although Wu Buyu was old, he was still a genuine Xuanling Realm cultivator. The servants who were peeking around were intimidated by Wu Buyu's aura and dared not come in or skimp on his food.
But these are all temporary. Hong Xiangwan's sudden madness and departure will inevitably cause chaos among the cultivators under her command.
Ji Rong and Ji Zhuang cried until they were exhausted, then stood there, neither eating nor drinking, so Wu Buyu put the food away.
The next day, Ji Rong and Ji Zhuang managed to eat something, and Wu Buyu told them to recover their strength.
Chaos broke out at the Jade Beauty Hall, and they tried to escape in the confusion.
As evening fell, the servants stopped bringing food. Wu Buyu manifested his Dharma body, hoisted Gu Qingqing and the puppet fox Feng Qing onto his back, covered them with feathers, and then, with Ji Rong and Ji Zhuang, who had been resting all afternoon, ran outside.
Upon leaving the courtyard, they found the Jade Beauty Pavilion in complete chaos. Hong Xiangwan had smashed many pavilions and ruined the elegant affairs of countless cultivators.
Today, people came to settle accounts, to watch the show, and to fight over ownership of the Jade Beauty Salon business; a huge crowd gathered at the entrance.
The managers of the Jade Beauty Pavilion were in a state of utter chaos, having to guard against unscrupulous servants escaping with the treasures while also dealing with the overwhelming number of cultivators outside.
Wu Buyu's eyes darted around, and he immediately pretended to be an old cultivator watching a show, while Ji Zhuang pretended to be Ji Rong's servant. They swaggered into the group of cultivators and peeked around.
The dog cultivator who was being squeezed was extremely impatient. He had come to scout ahead for his boss, but when he looked up, he saw an old bird with a cultivation level comparable to his own. He pointed at Wu Buyu impatiently and said, "Old man, what are you looking at? Go watch the show over there!"
Wu Buyu said politely, "Excuse me, excuse me," and then led Ji Zhuang and Ji Rong in the direction the dog cultivator pointed.
There was no one to stop them along the way.
