Chapter 406 Great Fortune (2)
Seeing that Ze Peng was not cooperating, Ye immediately waved his palm to block the power of the demon emperor and said, "This is not the Fulu Mountain Range. Take back your aura."
As soon as Ze Peng left, Sui Ye cursed at the powerful demon emperor.
In his heart, however, he also cursed Ze Peng for disregarding their past relationship as master and disciple.
However, he couldn't make any further moves, since Zepeng was no longer his disciple.
Anyone with eyes in Yuxu Palace knows that Zepeng is the disciple of both Wanfa and Qingjizi, which means he rose to prominence in one fell swoop.
After Ze Peng returned to Yunya, he thought about how his former master, Sui Ye, had so blatantly set a trap for him. Feeling disheartened, he realized that continuing like this was not a good idea.
He then found Qingpingzi and told him everything that had happened recently, saying, "Senior Uncle, I am young and my cultivation is low. I used to bury myself in arithmetic and don't understand matters of reason. Please entrust the distribution of the 'Great Compendium of Myriad Races' to the senior brothers and sisters with higher cultivation."
Qingpingzi praised, "Peng, you are impartial and unswayed by past relationships. Your character is excellent. I was right about you."
You can consult your nephew Gu Lin about these matters of welcoming and seeing off guests.
Your master, Kiyohime, has always loved puppetry; do not let your past skills go to waste.
"Then let's move to the Octagonal Palace. In our spare time, we can learn some puppetry techniques from Yi Tong and the others." Ze Peng nodded in agreement, and then went to find Gu Lin.
Gu Linru is now free, as he has never liked to do everything himself.
After Qingpingzi went out to compile books and gave him sufficient power, he quickly promoted many disciples and nephews to manage affairs.
Now he can look at alchemy books every few days and refine a few pills, which is not much different from his days in the Shoudao Palace.
When Jian Zepeng came to see him, the old Taoist priest Gulin immediately welcomed this junior brother who had advanced beyond his level to the seat of honor.
Hearing Ze Peng's worry, Gu Lin stroked his sparse beard and said, "It's just a small matter, Junior Brother, you don't need to worry about it. I think Junior Brother Sui Ye will come to apologize to you soon."
Ze Peng was stunned for a moment, and said, "He, he has always..."
Gu Lin interrupted him with a smile, saying, "You are now a disciple of Master Qing Ji Zi, which is no different from being a disciple of your senior master. Why be so modest?"
Junior Brother Zepeng, you need to get used to your status. If Junior Brother Suiye can't see clearly and is still clinging to the past, trying to use that little bit of affection to blackmail you, then he can't be Qingzhizi's disciple. Do you understand?
Junior Brother Zepeng and Martial Uncle Qingji have always loved exquisite trinkets.
Since you come from Puppet Valley, you should have seen the odd and even shapes. Those were brought back by Martial Uncle Qing Ji Zi. If you could learn to make some practical little gadgets with Junior Sister Yi Tong in your spare time, and then inscribe them into the operating array, Martial Uncle Qing Ji Zi would surely be very happy.”
Ze Peng nodded, feeling that he understood. He thought Gu Lin's words made a lot of sense. Now that he had switched allegiance to Qing Ji Zi, he naturally had to perform well so that his master, Qing Ji Zi, would quickly take him away from this troublesome place, Yun Ya.
So he returned to the Cloud House, put away his counting rods, tidied himself up, and then ran to the Octagonal Palace to find his senior sister Yi Tong, who was also from the Puppet Valley, to learn how to make puppets.
However, after Zepeng moved to the Octagonal Palace, the number of unrelated cultivators gradually increased.
In the past, the beautiful Celestials who were difficult for him to meet would come to visit him, and some young cubs who were obviously talented would always sleep on his way.
The more such things happened, the more vigilant Zepeng became. He always felt that these things were like the first puppet he made, crudely made with rough strings and crude methods.
He knew he was not a gifted person, his family had long since died out, he had no money or background, and he had never received such treatment before.
So, after Ze Peng finished making the first flying phoenix puppet, he presented it to Gu Lin and said, "Brother Gu Lin, I have never served my master for a single day. Could you please take this phoenix to my master for me?"
After saying that, he handed over another storage ring.
Gu Lin didn't answer. He looked at Ze Peng and then glanced at the cloud cliff.
Ze Peng stood there pondering for a long time before finally understanding. He then took out a storage ring and said, "Thank you for reminding me, Senior Brother. This is my token of my appreciation."
Seeing this, Gu Lin sighed. He didn't want to say anything, so he flicked his sleeves and drifted away.
Seeing Gu Lin's appearance, Ze Peng felt that his senior brother's thoughts were hard to fathom, and he could no longer stay in Yunya.
When the day came to send a message to the Danxue Mountains, Gu Lin still asked Ze Peng to take the Rainbow Phoenix puppet over for him.
In the Danxue Mountains, Ji Rong looked at Gu Lin's letter and the simple colorful phoenix that could call out "Master, Lord Ji" as soon as it opened its mouth, and that could grow larger and carry things when given spirit crystals. She liked it very much.
She proudly showed off the colorful phoenix to everyone, but Jiao Jue couldn't stand Ji Rong's arrogant expression and said, "Silly bird, your disciple is just as silly as you. He's a Celestial."
This puppet looks so much like you, how can it call itself its own master?
No wonder he hasn't made a name for himself in your Jade Void Palace for so many years. This time he really hit the jackpot, getting noticed by your senior brother and being given to you.”
Upon hearing this, Ji Rong immediately raised her head, handed the letter in her hand to Jiao Jue, and exclaimed, "Hmph! My senior brother isn't looking for a disciple for me; he's clearly just indulging in the fantasy of being a master himself."
Brother, look! Ze Peng has created a flying artifact that can carry cargo. Since humans have neither wings nor claws, they only need to modify this colorful phoenix a little more, and it will be a flying artifact perfectly suited for them.
Zepeng is, after all, my disciple. He's grown up now. Given his talent, shouldn't he have some businesses?
When I, my brother, and my sister Qingqing were this age, we had already become auspicious omens for the witch clan through our own efforts.
Afterwards, Ji Rong wrote a letter to Qing Pingzi, saying, "Senior brother, I like the disciple you chose for me very much."
He has such good skills, yet he still keeps falling off the cliff. It seems that his good fortune is limited.
Once the "Grand Ceremony of All Races" is released, let him come and try his luck here. He should have his own way of making money by now.
Qingpingzi received the letter, feeling quite reluctant to part with it, while Gulin was secretly delighted. He thought to himself that he must send Shan Zhongfeng over here, lest that fellow come looking for him whenever he has free time.
Seeing Qingpingzi's reluctant expression, he immediately said, "Uncle-Master, it seems that Uncle-Master is quite lacking in skills. Why don't you take on a few more disciples for Uncle-Master? Teaching one is the same as teaching ten."
Hearing this, Kiyohirako was quite tempted, but he still pretended to hesitate and said, "But Kiyohime said last time that she doesn't like taking on disciples."
Gu Lin earnestly advised, "Uncle Master doesn't like to teach, but he likes to use people, and he also favors ordinary people."
With the preaching conference about to begin again, why don't you train a few more for her? Who knows, you might just find a true all-rounder even more brilliant than our master!"
"Too."
