"Look at that cloud. Does it look like a puppy?" Jiu Hui pointed at the clouds in the sky. "And the cloud next to it looks like a bone."
"Does it look like one?" Luo Yan looked at it for a long time: "Why do I feel like it looks like a cat?"
The two men leaned their heads out of the window and watched as a ray of golden light pierced through the clouds, splitting the dog-like and cat-like cloud into two parts.
"Tsk." The two of them immediately lost interest in the discussion. Jiu Hui asked curiously, "What is that golden light?"
"An urgent summons from Zhenxing Tower." Jin Qingqiu turned sideways and dragged the stool towards Jiuhui. "Zhenxing Tower is guarded by the four great elders of the Xiuxian world. If there is no major event, they will not easily pass on the news to other sects. I see that fellow Daoist knows very little about the Xiuxian world. Could it be the junior sister who just joined the sect this year?"
Jiuhui nodded.
"I wonder if you have ever seen the girl who bravely fought against the devil in Wenxian City?" Jin Qingqiu never missed any opportunity to get information.
“Yes.”
Jin Qingqiu's eyes lit up.
"At that time, the girl was captured by the demon, and I hid behind a stone pillar with my brothers and sisters." Jiu Hui took a sip of the soup and sighed regretfully, "Afterwards, the elders always felt sorry and blamed themselves, blaming us for our low cultivation level and being unable to save the girl from danger. Fortunately, Young Master Jin's sect was willing to accept her as a disciple, which was also a blessing for her."
"Yes." Jin Qingqiu sighed and said, "I also hope that this girl can become a disciple of my sect."
He glanced at the other people sitting at the same table with Jiu Hui. The oldest one was chewing on a prawn without even raising his head. The other two men and women who looked like fellow students were chatting about Zhenxing Tower and didn't care about what he was saying at all. The young man sitting next to Jiu Hui was using chopsticks to separate the bones from the meat and then placed the separated meat neatly on a plate.
It was obvious that they were not disciples of a small sect who cared about the major events in the world of immortal cultivation, so naturally, they could not get any information about the girl. With Jin Qingqiu's personality, he would not waste his energy on these people who had no use value. However, this girl, called Jiu Hui by her fellow disciples, was beautiful and pleasing, and he liked her very much, so he couldn't help but talk to her for a few more words.
"What other delicacies do you like, I'll have someone bring them up." Jin Qingqiu personally poured a cup of tea for Jiu Hui. Seeing that Jiu Hui liked to eat fish, he said, "There is a fish called Jiao. It is as clear as glass when it is born. It is afraid of sunlight but loves the moon. After bathing in the moonlight for a hundred years, it can transform into a demon. Eating this fish can beautify your skin and improve your eyesight. I see that you like to eat fish. I wonder which sect you are practicing in. When I get this fish, I will send it to your sect."
"Although this kind of fish can beautify the skin and improve eyesight, it smells a bit fishy, and I don't like it very much." Jiu Hui was not polite to him: "The dishes that Master Jin invited today are very delicious, how can I be so shameless as to ask for something else."
"In that case, I can't force you." He was unhappy about being rejected by the disciples of Jiutian Sect, but Jin Qingqiu was not annoyed at all when being rejected by the pretty girl: "Next time I see you, I will definitely invite you to taste the delicious food."
He looked out the window and saw two more golden lights flying past.
Zhenxing Tower actually issued three urgent orders in a row
"It is a great honor for me to have dinner with all of you fellow Taoists today. However, I have other trivial matters to attend to, so I will take my leave first." Jin Qingqiu had a bad feeling in his heart and stood up to say goodbye to everyone.
"Master Jin, take care."
"Goodbye."
Everyone put down their chopsticks and said goodbye to Jin Qingqiu.
"Goodbye, fellow Daoist." Jin Qingqiu bowed to Jiu Hui.
Jiu Hui returned the greeting: "Young Master Jin, take care."
Jin Qingqiu did not delay. He placed the brocade bag containing the spiritual stones on the table, and then he turned into a ray of light with the sword boy and disappeared out the window.
"Elder, has something big happened?" Jiu Hui looked at the cloud that was cut in half, feeling a little regretful.
It's rare to see clouds that look like dogs.
"It's a big deal, and the Ten Great Sects are responsible for it. It's useless for us to worry about it." Elder Mo put down the bone in his hand and said, "After we are full, we will continue on our journey and try to get back to the sect when the sun rises the day after tomorrow."
Seeing the other four people preparing to put down their chopsticks, Zhiyou ate the neatly folded meat, then took out a handkerchief from the storage ring to wipe the corners of his mouth.
After the five of them sat back on the gourd, Luo Yan asked Jiu Hui curiously, "Jiu Hui, did you really eat Jiao Yu when you were a child?"
"I haven't eaten it." Jiuhui said confidently.
"Then how do you know it tastes fishy?" Changhe was also curious.
"When you go out, you give yourself an identity. I can't just accept it when someone gives it to me. That would be so embarrassing." Jiu Hui raised her chin: "I can eat the meal that everyone is invited to eat, but I dare not eat the fish that only one person is invited to eat. I am smart."
"When I was three years old, I understood a truth: when everyone benefits from something, it is called taking advantage, while unprovoked preference is a trap." Jiu Hui sat cross-legged on the blanket. "But if you want to eat Jiao fish, I will write a letter to ask Uncle Long if he can catch a few. He is the best fisherman in our village. All the fish we eat in our village are caught by him."
"The bright fish is born in the moonlight and can only be seen during a full moon. You cannot catch the bright fish in the river." Zhiyou took out a food box from his storage ring and pushed it in front of the four people.
"Junior Brother Zhiyou!" Changhe opened the lunch box and saw a box full of dried fish. He knelt down with a plop and said, "Junior Brother Zhiyou, you are my biological brother."
Zhiyou lowered his eyelids: "If you like it, take it and eat it."
"It's delicious." Jiuhui took a bite and took out a food box from the storage ring. She took out a dried fish and handed it to Zhiyou: "This is the dried fish made by Uncle Long himself. Let's eat it together."
Zhiyou was stunned for a moment, then took the dried fish from Jiuhui. The dried fish was only two fingers wide, with golden flesh and bones, and exuded an enticing fragrance.
The three people from Wangshu Pavilion ate with great joy. They didn't know what kind of fish Jiuhui took out. Not only did it taste better and better, but after swallowing it, even their spirits were filled up. "Junior sister, what kind of fish is this?" Changhe looked more and more surprised as he ate.
"I don't know." Jiu Hui actually liked Zhiyou's dried fish more. She ate this kind of fish when she was a child, when she grew up, and when she was on the road. She had long been tired of it: "If you like it, I'll ask Uncle Long to make more next time."
"The bones can be transformed into spiritual energy, and the flesh and armor are all golden." Zhiyou gave Jiuhui a handkerchief to wipe her hands: "It should be a dragon bone fish."
"What dragon? What bone?" The master and his two disciples were shocked and felt that the dried fish in their hands weighed more than a thousand gold.
"Dragon, dragon bone fish?" Luo Yan covered the food box with trembling hands: "Junior sister, quickly put the things away."
"What's wrong?" Jiuhui opened the lid of the box, took out the dried fish and tasted it. It didn't taste bad.
"Put it back in the ring quickly, don't let anyone find it." Luo Yan pushed the lid back again: "Don't take this out in front of outsiders."
How could she have eaten a dragon bone fish that was worth nearly ten thousand spirit stones, and she ate three in one go!
Three means thirty thousand spirit stones!
How dare she?!
Who gave her the courage
"But you are not others." Jiu Hui looked at Luo Yan: "This is just dried fish for eating. How can it be compared with the elders, brothers and sisters?"
"Oh, and Zhiyou." Jiuhui added: "You too."
The three masters and apprentices felt a slight tremor in their hearts.
"Junior sister, do you know how much it is worth?" Chang He swallowed his saliva and couldn't help but speak: "The bright fish is expensive because it only appears when the moon is full. It depends on fate to catch it. The dragon bone fish is expensive because it is very rare. Eating it can increase spiritual power and help improve cultivation."
"Since this is such a good fish, you should eat more of it." Jiu Hui pushed the whole box of fish in front of Elder Mo: "All for you."
Elder Mo looked at the box of dragon bone fish in front of him for a long time, chuckled, and gently pushed the food box back to Jiu Hui: "Dragon bone fish are full of spiritual energy. Your brothers and sisters have limited cultivation, so eating them will not help. These fish are left with you. When they successfully form a pill, you can give them these fish as a gift."
"Okay." Jiu Hui put the food box containing the fish back into her ring: "I have some other shrimp, crab and dried fruits here, how about..."
"No, no, no, we're full. We had a big meal at noon and can't eat anymore." Luo Yan held Jiu Hui's hand, afraid that if she continued to take out something of extraordinary value, her heart would not be able to bear it. "In two hours, we will reach Fuguang Mountain. That will be the time when the sun sets. You must not miss this rare beauty in the world."
Jiuhui and Zhiyou, these two junior brothers and sisters, are not ordinary gold nuggets at all. They are clearly the sons and daughters of wealthy families who come to pursue their dreams of cultivating immortals!
Two hours later, Jiu Hui finally understood why Senior Sister Luo Yan said that Fuguang Mountain under the sunset was a rare beauty in the world.
The golden-red sunlight sprinkled on the silver-white snow-capped mountains, and the colorful light fell into the golden-red, just like countless burning rainbows.
The palace on the top of the mountain was half hidden and half visible. Under the setting sun, the palace seemed to be carved out of golden and red glazed jade. For a moment, Jiu Hui couldn't tell whether the mountain was more beautiful or the palace was more beautiful.
"Why is there a palace on the mountain?" Jiu Hui was absent-minded for a long time, until the sun set at the foot of the mountain and the palace turned back into its original ice sculpture appearance, then she gradually came to her senses: "Who lives in it?"
"That's the Fuguang Palace. Only one person lives in it." Elder Mo stood on the gourd, bent down and saluted deeply in the direction of the palace. Changhe and Luoyan, who were standing behind him, also saluted respectfully.
"Who lives in there?" Seeing that Elder Mo, who was usually nonchalant, was so serious, Jiu Hui's expression also became a little serious.
"It's Immortal Lord Fuguang." Elder Mo bowed three times before letting the gourd continue to fly forward slowly. "Immortal Lord Fuguang was born five hundred years ago and has lived here since birth. He has special spiritual power. In the fifth year after his birth, a great plague suddenly struck. No matter human or demon, no one could escape the plague. Fortunately, the ten great sects searched the world and finally found a magical medicine to kill the plague. Then they refined ten immortal cauldrons to guard the world of immortal cultivation. The spiritual energy that maintains the operation of the ten immortal cauldrons comes from him."
"He has never left the mountain in the past five hundred years?"
"The spiritual energy in the outside world is mixed. Immortal Lord Fuguang must guard the Immortal Cauldron. How can he allow it to fail?" Elder Mo said: "This mountain was named after him, the palace was built because of him, and the safety of thousands of lives depends on him alone."
"So he has never left the mountain since he was born?" Jiu Hui looked back and saw the snowy white mountain still standing proudly among the mountains.
Jiu Hui shuddered suddenly. In her eyes, the magnificent palace slowly turned into a cage.
"Cold?" Zhiyou asked her.
"It's not cold." Jiu Hui whispered to him, "For five hundred years, Immortal Fuguang has lived alone in the palace. Even if the scenery is beautiful, he must have gotten tired of it."
Zhiyou took a cloak from his ring and handed it to Jiuhui, his expression calm: "Yes."
"Zhiyou, Jiuhui, look over there!" Luoyan pointed to the north in the distance, where there was a faint light flickering: "The thing glowing over there is the Mountain Guarding Cauldron, one of the Ten Immortal Cauldrons."
Jiu Hui looked into the distance and saw a flash of light. She subconsciously stretched out her hand, and the rushing light fell into her palm and turned into a jade slip.
Elder Mo and the other two were stunned, and Jiu Hui herself was also stunned.
She smiled awkwardly: "If I say that I really just stretched out my hand casually, would you believe it?"
The author has something to say:
Jiuhui: It hit me! It's not my fault!
Three masters and apprentices: Where did these rich young men and women come from to pursue their dreams in the circle of immortal cultivation
