"Qingxia, you miss your sister so much..."
When Hua Jieyu opened the door, she saw Yun Qingxia standing at the door with a smile on her face. She couldn't help but feel surprised and happy.
751 and a half days had passed since they last had tea together. Although Hua Jieyu did not deliberately calculate the time, she remembered it very clearly.
It was only two years in theory, but for Hua Jieyu, these two years felt especially long.
Especially after the last thunderstorm, Hua Jieyu was even more anxious to know the situation. But Yun Qingxia never showed up.
Today, Yun Qingxia finally showed up. Seeing her smile so kindly, Hua Jieyu's resentment that had been accumulated for two years disappeared without a trace.
As long as Yun Qingxia admitted her fault, everything would be fine. Besides, what else could she do if she didn't admit it
After Hua Jieyu was overjoyed, she discovered that Yun Qingxia's temperament had obviously changed.
Originally, there was a faint cloud in Yun Qingxia's eyes, which made her look a bit mysterious, but also a bit obscure.
The clouds and mist now appear very pure from the inside out.
Cultivators roll around in the mortal world, even if they take in qi and swallow spirits every day, they can't avoid being covered in dust. Yun Qingxia, however, is like a jade washed with water, not only pure and fresh, but also full of vitality.
The cloud in her eyes disappeared, and a bright purple-green light appeared in the depths of her eyes, making her look even more aura that was indescribable.
Hua Jieyu was very familiar with Yun Qingxia, and could tell at a glance that her cultivation had greatly improved. She felt envious again.
Sometimes, practicing Taoism is like this. No matter what your talents and abilities are, an opportunity is enough to change your destiny.
She saw with her own eyes how Yun Qingxia changed her fate, so she was naturally even more moved.
Hua Jieyu calmed down at this moment. Since Yun Qingxia still regarded her as a friend, there was no need for her to rush for benefits.
She invited Yun Qingxia to the room, and the two of them sat down as host and guest. She then said with emotion, "I haven't seen you for two years. Fellow Daoist Qingxia has made great progress in his cultivation. I am very happy about this."
Yun Qingxia gently waved her hand: "Daoyou, you don't have to praise me. It's all thanks to the guidance of the Heavenly Master that I have made some progress."
Hua Jieyu couldn't help but be curious: "You and the Heavenly Master?"
Yun Qingxia smiled without saying anything. She didn't want to tell Hua Jieyu much about her close relationship with Gao Xuan.
Besides, she is gentle and reserved by nature, and doesn't like to show off about such things.
Hua Jieyu is so smart. As soon as she saw Yun Qingxia's ambiguous smile, she knew that there must be something going on between her and Gao Xuan.
Come to think of it, with Gao Xuan's level of cultivation, the only reason he was attracted to Yun Qingxia was because of her beauty and charm.
Hua Jieyu asked again: "It was fellow Taoist who survived the tribulation that time, right?"
"It's me. I was lucky enough to make a breakthrough in my practice, and I was able to survive the calamity under the protection of the Heavenly Master."
Yun Qingxia admitted it frankly. It was impossible to hide the fact that her cultivation had greatly increased. Besides, there was no need to hide it.
"That's great."
Hua Jieyu suppressed the envy and jealousy in her heart, she smiled and said: "In the future, when I am in trouble, I will rely on you, fellow Taoist."
"You don't have to say that, Daoist friend. We support each other. How can I stand by and watch if Daoist friend gets into trouble?"
Yun Qingxia knew what Hua Jieyu was thinking, and she was very grateful to Hua Jieyu in her heart. Without her guidance, she might have missed this opportunity.
She didn't beat around the bush and said directly: "I've always remembered what happened to you, fellow Taoist."
Hua Jieyu's eyes lit up: "What did the Heavenly Master say?"
"The Heavenly Master asked me to take you there."
Yun Qingxia really did her best for Hua Jieyu. She took advantage of Gao Xuan's best mood to help her ask for some advice.
Gao Xuan agreed very readily. To him, it was just a trivial matter.
Yun Qingxia did not dare to take it lightly. This matter was unimportant to Gao Xuan, but it was of vital importance to Hua Jieyu.
She practiced with Gao Xuan for a period of time. The more she understood Gao Xuan, the more she admired and respected him.
Especially after she had survived the 12th level of thunder tribulation, she had already stood at the pinnacle of this world. She had also refined the purple and green swords, and she thought that there were few rivals in this world.
But compared with Gao Xuan, he seems to be even further behind.
In the past, she thought Gao Xuan was just at the twelfth level of thunder tribulation, but his supernatural powers were powerful.
Now that she was at the twelfth level, she realized that Gao Xuan was much higher than her, so much so that there was no way to compare the two.
Yun Qingxia was afraid that Hua Jieyu didn't understand how important this matter was, so she couldn't help but say a few words.
Hua Jieyu laughed: "Don't worry, I know the seriousness of the matter. Without saying anything else, just looking at you I know what to do."
Yun Qingxia also laughed, but she couldn't help but feel a little worried. What if Hua Jieyu also slept with Gao Xuan
I don't think so. The Heavenly Master is such a great man. I'm afraid he wouldn't like Hua Jieyu's unruly personality...
Yun Qingxia wouldn't have thought so much originally, but after following Gao Xuan, she couldn't help but become a little more sensitive about matters between men and women.
After all, she is a kind person and won't say much about this.
Yun Qingxia brought Hua Jieyu to Gao Xuan's room. She knocked on the door and led Hua Jieyu in directly.
This behavior also made Hua Jieyu understand that Yun Qingxia was willing to sleep with Gao Xuan. Only then did she feel as confident as if she were back home.
When they arrived at the living room, Gao Xuan was waiting for them.
Hua Jieyu bowed respectfully, while Yun Qingxia sat beside Gao Xuan with a smile. Hua Jieyu understood even more clearly that this person was not leaving because he was staring at her.
However, Hua Jieyu had no intention of doing anything. She knew very well that Gao Xuan would not like her type. If there was even a little bit of liking for him, she would be able to see it.
Therefore, Hua Jieyu respectfully and formally asked Gao Xuan about her doubts in spiritual practice.
Hua Jieyu practiced the Golden Lotus Technique, which was also a method she learned from a powerful Buddhist master, and it fits her very well.
After surviving ten tribulations, the Golden Lotus Technique was no longer sufficient. Hua Jieyu hesitated, not knowing which direction to go.
Gao Xuan examined Hua Jieyu's body and soul, which was also necessary.
After all, Hua Jieyu is a person of a different race who has achieved enlightenment, and her soul and body are very unique.
Of course, he would not go deep into the spiritual contact with Hua Jieyu. Even if Yun Qingxia was not there, he did not like this type of woman.
The Golden Lotus Art itself is very simple, but the path it takes is very correct. Hua Jieyu has also practiced the Golden Lotus Art to perfection. It can be said that she has pushed this method to the peak.
When Gao Xuan saw Hua Jieyu's Golden Lotus Secret, he thought of the Karma Fire Red Lotus.
Although both are about seeking the right path between life and death, the great destruction and vitality contained in the Karma Fire Red Lotus cannot be compared with the Golden Lotus Sutra.
There are just a lot of similarities between the two.
Hua Jieyu's current state has actually reached a dead end. Even if she tries to move forward, she has no future.
Gao Xuan was not reluctant to teach, but this path was very dangerous. Of course, he hoped that Hua Jieyu would choose this path. This would also give him a reference.
He already knew a lot about the magic of this world, but he still didn't know much about the creatures of this world.
Yun Qingxia and Hua Jieyu were both different species who had achieved enlightenment, and their spirits were very special. This specialness was also very valuable.
Helping them practice can also allow Gao Xuan to compare himself. This cannot directly increase his strength, but it can broaden his horizons and make his foundation more solid.
Gao Xuan said to Hua Jieyu: "The Golden Lotus Technique has reached its limit and there is no possibility of improvement. I have a "Karma Fire Red Lotus Secret Technique" that is quite suitable for you.
"But this method requires one to die and then be reborn, constantly cycling between life and death. It is extremely dangerous..."
"Master, I am willing to practice this method."
After Gao Xuan finished speaking, Hua Jieyu expressed her wish to practice this method without any hesitation.
This decisiveness shows some of the qualities of a ten-tribulation human immortal.
Gao Xuan nodded. It would be easy if the other party agreed. He stretched out his hand and pointed, and the secret method of the Fire Red Lotus penetrated into Hua Jieyu's sea of consciousness.
Although this secret technique was created by him temporarily, it was perfected by the deduction of the Nine Revolutions of Wuxiang, and it is a very complete secret technique.
The imagery is taken from the Red Lotus of Karma Fire, which is brilliant enough. So brilliant that even Gao Xuan dare not say that he has truly comprehended the mystery.
Fortunately, the Karma Fire Red Lotus is just an image, and the Karma Fire Red Lotus itself is so mysterious that it is not that important.
After learning the secret technique, Hua Jieyu immediately returned to her room to practice in seclusion.
Yun Qingxia was very concerned about this fellow Taoist. After sending Hua Jieyu away, she asked Gao Xuan, "Is fellow Taoist Hua okay?"
"This method is quite risky, but it's hard to say."
Gao Xuan said: "However, I think she is very resolute and determined, and her soul is compatible with this method, so there is a 70% to 80% chance that she can succeed."
Yun Qingxia said: "Although Fellow Daoist Hua is a little informal, he is very self-respecting and proud by nature. He is a true cultivator."
"At this point, no matter what decision you make, you should accept the consequences calmly. There's no need to worry about her."
Gao Xuan gently held Yun Qingxia's hand and said, "Fate is unpredictable. We cultivators can only try our best to control ourselves. That's all."
For some reason, Yun Qingxia felt that there was a hint of melancholy in Gao Xuan's words.
The omnipotent Heavenly Master doesn't seem to be really omnipotent.
This also made Yun Qingxia feel pity. She didn't know how to help Gao Xuan, so she could only try her best to offer her tenderness.
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, several years have passed and the Nine-Sail Cloud Boat has arrived in the East China Sea.
After entering the East China Sea, the most obvious thing is that you can always encounter various cultivators in the sky.
Some were riding flying swords, some were riding flying boats, some were riding flying cranes, and some were riding the wind and clouds. The sky suddenly became lively.
On the islands on the sea, you can also see various buildings and creatures of various races.
Such a lively atmosphere is not found in Beihai.
The North Sea is so cold that ordinary creatures cannot survive. There are no fishermen. There are only various fish spirits and water monsters in the sea.
Ninety-nine percent of the cultivators on the Nine-Sail Cloud Boat were visiting the East China Sea for the first time. Seeing such a lively scene, they all felt that their eyes were opened.
On this day, the Nine-Sail Cloud Boat arrived at Tianlong Island.
Tianlong Island is a super-large floating island occupied by the East China Sea Dragon Clan. This island is also the external palace of the East China Sea Dragon Clan.
The real Dragon Palace is deep in the East China Sea, and only the East China Sea dragon clan and their direct subordinates are qualified to enter.
As the overlord of the Eastern Province, the East Sea Dragon Clan has many connections with various countries and major sects in the Eastern Province.
All external affairs of the East China Sea Dragon Clan will be handled on Tianlong Island.
Therefore, although Tianlong Island is located in the East China Sea, it is the most important center for cultivators in the Eastern State.
The first Tianlong Dharma Assembly was held on Tianlong Island, hence the name Tianlong Dharma Assembly.
Because of the special nature of Tianlong Island, all major sects, various powerful cultivator alliances and other large organizations will send people to stay on Tianlong Island.
More and more people gathered on Tianlong Island, and naturally a huge market for cultivators was formed.
The cultivator market in turn attracted more cultivators, and Tianlong Island became more and more lively.
From a distance, you can see an inverted cone-shaped floating island floating more than a thousand feet in the sky.
There are mountains, rivers, lakes and buildings of various styles on the floating island. Above the floating island, a group of flying cranes and spirit birds fly back and forth.
The outer layer of the floating island is covered with a layer of faint golden light. If you look closely, you will find that the golden light forms a huge golden dragon that wraps up the entire island.
The golden dragon head was right above the floating island. The huge dragon head had its eyes closed, but it showed its powerful majesty. When everyone saw the dragon head, they instinctively felt awe.
The magic circle formed by the golden dragon has four huge exits for people to enter and exit.
These four exits are very busy. The flying magic tools controlled by the cultivators are flashing various colorful lights, and it looks extremely lively.
Such a wonderful sight also attracted all the young disciples on the Nine-Sail Cloud Boat.
A group of people stood on the front and rear decks, pointing at Tianlong Island.
Even Bingpo, who had been in seclusion, was pulled out by Lianyi to watch the fun.
The two girls were extremely beautiful, and although many disciples knew their identities, no one dared to approach them and talk to them.
Of course, there are always those who are brave enough to not fear death. But approaching someone and chatting them up is asking for trouble.
As time went by, everyone knew that these two were too arrogant and they were not worth their attention.
Seeing the two Lianyi and Bingpo there, the group of people consciously made way for a large open space.
Chen Jiufeng, Chen Wangting and Sikong Ling, who were standing at the bow, also nodded to the two but did not come forward to talk to them.
They were Taoist immortals, and they had to be proud of their status. Besides, these two girls were not easy to mess with. If they really wanted to get close to them, they might as well go to Gao Xuan.
Gao Xuan had a clear and elegant demeanor and was very magnanimous. Even if he failed to get close to her, he would not feel embarrassed. It was hard to say about the two girls.
Chen Jiufeng and the others kept their distance, and Lianyi and Bingpo naturally had no interest in interacting with them.
According to the rules, outsiders and goods must enter through the east passage and register.
Chen Jiufeng and Chen Wangting were young, and this was their first time here, but Sikong Ling had been here once before and was very experienced.
Sikong Ling commanded the Nine-Sail Cloud Boat to put away the six largest sails, leaving only three sails for easy control.
The nine-sail cloud boat circled Tianlong Island halfway and lined up to enter from the east passage.
Although this channel is extremely open, registration is required, so everyone has to queue up to enter.
Most of the boats ranked ahead of the Nine-Sail Cloud Boat are flying boats, but they are not as big as the Nine-Sail Cloud Boat.
After all, it is a flying boat built by the four major sects, and it is quite impressive.
The other flying boats were nothing compared to it. Especially when so many flying boats lined up to enter, the Nine-Sail Cloud Boat among them looked even bigger.
Everyone on the Nine-Sail Cloud Boat was also very proud of this.
Even immortals like Chen Jiufeng and Chen Wangting had smug smiles on their faces.
I traveled billions of miles to get here, all just to make a name for myself.
Sikong Ling was much calmer. The Nine-Sail Cloud Boat was very big, but it was nothing on Tianlong Island.
The eastern state is vast and has abundant resources, and the number of cultivator sects is more than ten times that of the northern state.
The Nine-Sail Cloud Boat they built with the combined strength of the Northern States was actually nothing in the Eastern States. But at this time, of course, there was no need to say anything to spoil the fun.
After waiting in line for more than an hour, the Nine-Sail Cloud Boat finally arrived at the entrance to Tianlong Island.
Several tall warriors wearing black scale armor flew onto the deck. Leading them was a tall and muscular man with narrow eyes and a long mouth. His iron-blue skin was unusually smooth. It was obvious that he was some kind of sea creature.
The other warriors all looked the same, they must be from the same clan.
The big man in the lead stood at the bow and shouted, "Where are they from? Who are they? How much cargo is on the boat?"
The man had a high-pitched, sharp voice, and his tone was condescending and very impolite.
Chen Jiufeng and Chen Wangting both frowned slightly. They were dignified human immortals and acted arrogantly in the northern state, but they had never received such treatment.
Sikong Ling was calm, he stepped forward and said, "We are cultivators from the Northern Province, and we are here to participate in the Tianlong Dharma Assembly."
"Participate in the Tianlong Dharma Assembly?"
The leading man glanced at Sikong Ling and said, "The Dharma Assembly will not start for another three years. You came here so early. Do you want to eat and drink for free?"
Even Sikong Ling, who was so well-mannered, had a slightly changed expression. Although the East China Sea Dragon Clan was arrogant, they were not so overbearing.
After not coming for thousands of years, has the other party become like this
Sikong Ling changed his mind and thought that the other party might have come here to cause trouble on purpose because of Gao Xuan.
After all, Gao Xuan had annihilated the North Sea Dragon Clan. For the Dragon Clan, this was first of all a great shame and humiliation.
Even if it is for the reputation of the dragon clan, Gao Xuan must be dealt with.
It was too petty to use such a low-level method to embarrass him. But it was not like the style of the East China Sea Dragon Clan.
Sikong Ling pondered in his heart, but he suppressed his anger on his face. He took out the invitation and gestured to the big man: "Here is the invitation."
The tall and strong man raised his chin and snatched the invitation. He flipped through it and handed it to Sikong Ling, "It is an invitation. However, one invitation can only bring 500 people. You have too many people here."
"We all have invitations."
Although Sikong Ling was very unhappy, he still took out all four invitations from the Taoist sect.
There were less than two thousand people on the entire Nine-Sail Cloud Boat, so four invitations were enough.
This time the big man didn't even look at the invitation. He pointed his nose at Sikong Ling and said, "People can come in, but goods must be taxed. One tenth of the goods."
Sikong Ling was really a little angry this time. He looked directly into the other person's narrow and deep blue eyes: "What did you say?"
They were not businessmen who came to Tianlong Island to do business, but VIPs attending the Dharma Assembly.
According to the rules of the Tianlong Dharma Assembly, there is no reason to ask VIPs to pay taxes.
A human immortal who has reached the Twelve Tribulations is a top cultivator no matter where he is in the Qingtian Realm.
Although the tall Tibetan man was sturdy, he was just a sea monster. He was one level lower than Sikong Ling. When Sikong Ling made a move, the tall Tibetan man was forced to retreat two steps.
The tall and strong man narrowed his narrow eyes, and his ugly face was full of anger. "Even human immortals are not qualified to act recklessly on Tianlong Island. What do you want to do?"
The East Sea Dragon Clan is strong and is the overlord of the Eastern Province. Tianlong Island is the Dragon Clan's lair. The Angzang men are used to being arrogant and would never care about a human immortal.
Being suppressed by Sikong Ling's spiritual aura instead aroused the anger of the tall man.
The tall and strong man tapped Sikong Ling's nose with his thick and long finger: "Do you want to die?"
It would be enough for Sikong Ling to kill the big man with just one hand, but he couldn't act recklessly in the dragon clan's territory.
Killing this tall and strong man is equivalent to directly challenging the dragon clan.
Sikong Ling came to Tianlong Island from a distance of hundreds of thousands of miles, not to fight with the dragons. Besides, this is the territory of Tianlong Island, and they will not gain any advantage if a conflict occurs.
If things go wrong, these top cultivators in the Northern State will be killed here.
Sikong Ling has lived for thousands of years, and although he has a bad temper, he can control his emotions and will not get angry or start a fight just because of a few words from the other party.
He said calmly, "Killing you has stained my hands. I will go and ask the Dragon King, is this the way the East China Sea dragons treat their guests?"
Sikong Ling's voice was not loud, but it spread far and wide. All the cultivators near this passage heard it, and everyone turned their eyes over.
The tall and strong man was a little embarrassed. His cultivation was indeed far inferior to Sikong Ling. It was no problem for him to provoke him, but if he really faced him head-on, he would be immediately suppressed by the other party's spiritual aura.
Without actually fighting, Sikong Ling's aura alone was enough to make him speechless. The tall man exerted all his strength, but still couldn't break free, let alone refute. So he looked a little embarrassed.
There were many people watching the fun around. A tall and strong man was guarding the entrance to the island. He was in a low position but had great power, and was also well-known.
Making a fool of himself in front of so many people made him even more angry. As the tall and strong man's body continued to swell, and he was about to burst out with all his strength to break free, a hand gently pressed on the big man's shoulder.
The tall and strong man turned his head and all his anger disappeared in an instant.
The man who suddenly appeared was also tall, with long curly blue hair. He had rough features, a particularly large nose and mouth, and looked quite like a lion.
Such a mighty-looking man, yet he had a sense of peace and stability standing there.
The big man said to Sikong Ling, "You don't have to be angry, fellow Taoist."
Sikong Ling knew this person, Ao Jiuni, the illegitimate son of the Dragon King of the East China Sea. Although he was a illegitimate son, he had extraordinary magical powers, especially his calm and steady manner, which won him praise from all sides.
Most of the external affairs of the East China Sea Dragon Clan were handled by this person. At the Tianlong Dharma Assembly three thousand years ago, Sikong Ling had witnessed Ao Jiuni's demeanor and left a deep impression.
Sikong Ling bowed his head and saluted: "Sikong Ling of the Yin-Yang Dao of the Northern Province greets the Ninth Prince."
This person is a bastard's son. Although he is very capable and has great power, he can only be called a prince.
Among the dragon clan, only the pure-blooded dragons are qualified to be called the prince.
The Dragon King of the East China Sea was very philanthropic. He mated with beauties from all races and had countless illegitimate children.
Most illegitimate sons fend for themselves, but there are a few who stand out and are stronger than the legitimate bloodline. Ao Jiuni is one of them.
Ao Jiuni can basically represent the top leaders of the Dragon Clan. Facing the ninth prince, Sikong Ling dare not be disrespectful.
Ao Jiuni returned the greeting by bowing his hands and said, "Fellow Daoist Sikong, I haven't seen you for three thousand years. I am glad to see that you have made great progress in your cultivation."
This person had a sharp eye and could tell at a glance that Sikong Ling had already passed the twelfth heavenly tribulation. This level of cultivation was certainly worthy of respect.
“Shame on you.”
Although Ao Jiuni was just being polite, it represented a friendly attitude. Sikong Ling had to be humble and polite and accept the other party's kindness.
The two exchanged a few polite words before Ao Jiuni said, "It is my fault that I did not discipline my subordinates well enough, which led to trouble. I want to apologize to you, fellow Taoist."
"No need, no need. Ninth Prince, you are too serious. It was just a small quarrel. I am also wrong."
The other party gave him a way out and Sikong Ling hurriedly apologized. He didn't want to get entangled with the dragon clan over such a small matter.
Besides, he was not qualified to fight with the dragons. After all, this was Tianlong Island.
Ao Jiuni was very satisfied with Sikong Ling's attitude, as he was a sensible old Taoist. He smiled and said, "You Taoist friends have come from afar to attend the meeting, and as the host, we should do our best to entertain you."
He thought for a moment and asked a pretty woman beside him, "Is there anyone in Qingyunju?"
The pretty girl said softly, "Your Majesty, Qingyun Residence has been idle for hundreds of years."
Ao Jiuni said to Sikong Ling: "Qingyunju is a quiet place in Tianlong Island, and the place is also spacious. Please move to Qingyunju..."
He thought for a moment and said, "It just so happens that I have some free time today, so I will go there with my fellow Taoists."
Sikong Ling knew that the other party had ulterior motives, but he couldn't say anything. He could only bow and express his gratitude.
Ao Jiuni refused to leave, so Sikong Ling took the opportunity to introduce him to several Taoist people.
Chen Wangting and Chen Jiufeng were both relatively young and had never participated in the Tianlong Dharma Assembly, so naturally they did not know Ao Jiuni.
Ao Jiuni has a natural magnanimity and gentleness in his bones. He is polite yet makes people feel close to him, making people feel like they are bathed in a spring breeze.
Chen Wangting and Chen Jiufeng chatted with this person for a few words and were impressed by his demeanor.
They also secretly compared themselves. Gao Xuan was gentle and generous, but he was too ethereal and ethereal. The higher their cultivation, the more difficult it was to understand him. It was difficult to get close to him.
Ao Jiuni is more approachable, and is very good at flattering others without making them feel abrupt or flattering, which makes people naturally want to make friends with him.
With Ao Jiuni leading the conversation, the group chatted harmoniously, and the slight unhappiness just now naturally disappeared.
Tianchi also arrived. He and Ao Jiuni had met before, so naturally they reminisced about the past, and the atmosphere became a little more lively.
Ao Jiuni was talking to a few people. His eyes fell on Lianyi and Bingpo. He asked curiously, "These two Taoist friends have extraordinary demeanor, but I don't know what to call them?"
This question was a bit difficult to answer, Chen Jiufeng and Chen Wangting both looked at Tianchi. Tianchi was the only one who knew Gao Xuan best, and only he was suitable to answer this question.
Tianchi was well prepared for this. Once he arrived at Tianlong Island, he could not avoid Gao Xuan's questions.
He said: "These two are disciples of Master Gao Tianshi."
Ao Jiuni smiled slightly: "Master Gao? But is it the Master Gao Xuan who killed the North Sea Dragon Court alone?"
As soon as these words came out, Chen Wangting and others changed color. Although they knew they would encounter this problem, they were still a little uneasy when Ao Jiuni pointed it out to them in person.
Tianchi wanted to explain a little bit, after all, it was the North Sea Dragon Clan that took the initiative to cause trouble. However, there was nothing to explain about this kind of thing. After all, the North Sea Dragon Court was destroyed.
It doesn’t matter who is right or wrong.
Tianchi nodded and said, "It is this Master Gao."
Ao Jiuni nodded and said, "I have heard of this great name in the Eastern Province, and I admire him very much. But I don't know where Master Gao is?"
Everyone felt even more depressed when they heard this. Sure enough, it came!
Tianchi smiled bitterly: "The Heavenly Master is in seclusion, so we can't disturb him."
He paused and said, "If the Heavenly Master comes out of retreat, I will report this to him. If the Ninth Prince is free at that time, he can come and pay his respects to the Heavenly Master."
Hearing Tianchi's words, Ao Jiuni was slightly stunned. He was the ninth prince of the East Sea Dragon Court, and although he was a bastard, he held great power in the East Sea Dragon Court.
He could be humble, polite and courteous, but that didn't mean others could look down on him. How could a mere human celestial master be worthy of his presence!
However, Ao Jiuni was a very cunning man after all. Although he was unhappy in his heart, the smile on his face became even gentler.
"Is that so? That's fine too. When the Heavenly Master is free, please let me know and I will come to visit him."
As he spoke, Ao Jiuni looked at Lianyi and Bingpo again.
This pair of beautiful girls are clearly already ninth-level immortals! This is incredible.
Ao Jiuni had found out clearly that Lianyi and Bingpo were just Gao Xuan's maids, and were living beings transformed by Gao Xuan's sword intent.
This world is rich in spiritual energy, and it is not difficult to use a little spiritual energy to enlighten life. However, to elevate living beings to the realm of human immortals, what kind of magical power is this!
Even a luxurious palace like the Dragon Palace cannot do this.
Although Ao Jiuni was born with powerful magical powers, he knew the difficulty of cultivation. Just looking at Lianyi and Bingpo, he would look up to Gao Xuan.
As they were talking, the Nine-Sail Cloud Boat had already reached the top of a mountain.
Looking down from the sky, this mountain is only a few hundred feet high. The mountain is covered with green pines, and there are streams flowing, converging into a small river at the foot of the mountain.
Various pavilions and towers have been built among the green pines. These wooden buildings are very classical and elegant, and they blend in with the green pines and clear springs of Lingshan Mountain ingeniously.
Wisps of blue clouds like smoke and fog are like blue ribbons, floating in the mountains and forests, adding to the quiet and peaceful atmosphere of the mountain.
The Nine-Sail Cloud Boat was parked on the flat ground at the foot of the mountain. The place was spacious enough to accommodate the cloud boat.
Seeing that Gao Xuan never showed up, Ao Jiuni had no interest in staying any longer. After the Nine-Sail Cloud Boat stopped, he led his men to fly away.
He left behind one of his pretty personal maids to help everyone settle down.
After everyone had chosen their rooms, they left the best courtyard on the top of the mountain for Gao Xuan.
After everyone was settled, the pretty maid and Tianchi said, "On the first and fifteenth day of every month, a market will be opened on the west side of the island. You can buy and sell as you please. You are all VIPs, and all transactions are tax-free..."
Tianchi and the others all nodded in thanks. They came all the way here, so of course they wanted to trade.
This kind of thing is not very important to human immortals, because it is impossible to obtain particularly valuable things through ordinary transactions.
However, for a sect, such large-scale transactions are very important.
The eastern states are vast and rich in valuable resources. The northern states also have some special resources that can be sold at a good price.
Tianchi and others gathered together to discuss, after all, it was a big deal, and there was a conflict with the dragon clan. Although Ao Jiuni said nice things, they couldn't be careless.
"Trading at the market is very important. We can go, but we need someone to lead us to avoid any accidents."
Tianchi said: "There are four of us, so only two people are needed at a time. We should be careful not only of the dragon clan, but also of other cultivators. There are all kinds of people here, and we will suffer losses if we are not careful."
There are too many traders on Tianlong Island, and there are all kinds of people. The Dragon Clan is only responsible for maintaining order. As for how the two parties trade, whether there are people cheating, they don't care.
Three thousand years ago, Tianchi had made some mistakes on Tianlong Island. He had a lot of resentment towards this place.
"I think the Ninth Prince is very magnanimous and will not use these trivial matters to embarrass us."
Chen Jiufeng had a very good impression of Ao Jiuni. He felt that Ao Jiuni would not use such insidious means.
Chen Wangting also nodded: "The Ninth Prince is indeed very charming. I think this matter can be discussed. There is no need for the Heavenly Master to be their enemy."
Tianchi glanced at the two of them and said coldly, "It is not our turn to interfere in Tianshi's affairs."
Chen Wangting and Chen Jiufeng were both unhappy. This old guy was clinging to Gao Xuan's thighs very tightly, but on Tianlong Island, clinging to Gao Xuan's thighs was not a good idea.
The two of them didn't dare to say anything. Not to mention Gao Xuan, they couldn't afford to offend even Tianchi.
Sikong Ling played the role of peacemaker and laughed it off, trying to get over the matter.
In the following two months, the four Taoist immortals led their disciples to do some small business. There were losses and gains, and some frictions occurred during this period.
After much stumbling, everyone finally got a general idea of the situation at the Tianlong Island market.
It was the first day of the new year again. Tian Chi was about to lead the team to the market when he saw a sudden flash of light on the Nine-Sail Cloud Boat.
He felt something and hurried to the boat, where he saw Gao Xuan standing on the deck.
Hua Jieyu and Yun Qingxia accompanied them on both sides. Hua Jieyu's face was filled with joy, and there was a glow of divine light shining on her body.
Tianchi had a keen eye, and could tell at a glance that Hua Jieyu had made great progress in Taoism. He cupped his hands and congratulated her: "Daoyou have made great progress, which is cause for celebration."
Hua Jieyu hurriedly returned the greeting: "It is thanks to the guidance of the Heavenly Master that I have made some progress."
Tian Chi smiled but said nothing. He had already seen that there must be something going on between Gao Xuan and Yun Qingxia. But why did he bring Hua Jieyu along
Tianchi bowed and greeted Gao Xuan again, and told him the story of Ao Jiuni.
"Oh, let's meet. I want to make friends with the East Sea Dragon Clan."
Gao Xuan had been concentrating on giving guidance to the guardian Hua Jieyu during this period, and he didn't care about the outside world. He didn't know that such a thing had happened.
He was already on Tianlong Island, so he had to meet him eventually. It didn't matter if he met him a day earlier or later.
Since Gao Xuan had come out of retreat, Tianchi no longer led the team. He led Gao Xuan to the courtyard on the top of the mountain.
In fact, the whole mountain is called Qingyunju only in this courtyard, and the other buildings have other names. This courtyard is the most exquisite and elegant, and the scenery is also good.
There are four courtyards in total, which are arranged in four directions and overlapped ingeniously. The four courtyards correspond to the four seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter, and are planted with seasonal flowers and trees, which is quite ingenious.
Gao Xuan naturally lived in the main room in the center. Yun Qingxia and Hua Jieyu did not avoid suspicion and directly chose two sets of houses next to it.
The remaining two courtyards belong to Lianyi and Bingpo.
After everything was arranged, Gao Xuan used talisman paper to transform into a few boys. Although their intelligence was not high, they were enough to do daily chores.
Lianyi and Bingpo hadn't seen Gao Xuan for a while, and they both stayed close to him. Lianyi, in particular, kept talking.
With Lianyi's introduction, Gao Xuan finally understood what had happened during this period.
Actually, it was nothing, just some tricks by the dragons. The other party didn't go too far. They just tested it a little and then stopped.
From this point of view, it is worthy of being the overlord of the Eastern State and has some pattern.
Gao Xuan felt no pressure at all. If the East China Sea Dragon Clan was willing to make friends, he would make friends. If the other party wanted to attack, they could do so. He had nothing to fear.
Gao Xuan has been working hard to protect Hua Jieyu during this period of time. Although he is not exhausted, he has gained a lot of insights into the secret method of Karma Fire Red Lotus and has expended a lot of energy in this regard.
This time when he was out of seclusion, he spent the whole day drinking tea and playing chess with Yun Qingxia, and his life was quite leisurely.
More than ten days passed before Ao Jiuni came to visit.
In the main hall of Qingyunju, Gao Xuan met the ninth prince.
Just as Lianyi said, this Ninth Prince was like a lion spirit, with a human body and a lion's head, but he was elegant and gentle, very charming.
Ao Jiuni was also greatly shocked when he saw Master Gao Xuan. He had seen Gao Xuan in the water mirror image, and at that time he thought that this man was very handsome.
Only after seeing the real person did he realize that Gao Xuan's elegant demeanor was like the bright moon in the sky. In comparison, he was like a copper lamp under the bright moon, full of smoke and fire and dim in light.
Ao Jiuni sighed inwardly, it was such a pity for such a fairy-like person to be gone...
Ao Jiuni thought so in his heart, but the smile on his face became more friendly and bright.
"I have heard of the great name of the Heavenly Master for a long time. After meeting him today, I know that the rumors are true. The Heavenly Master is indeed a figure like a celestial being..."
Ao Jiuni bowed deeply while speaking, and Gao Xuan also bowed his head in return, "Ninth Prince, you are too kind."
Ao Jiuni took out a golden invitation from his sleeve and handed it to Gao Xuan respectfully: "My third brother heard that the Heavenly Master had come out of retreat, so he specially prepared a banquet to entertain the Heavenly Master..."
Gao Xuan smiled and thought, "You came so quickly." He took the invitation and said, "I will definitely be there on time."
Ao Jiuni clasped his fists and smiled: "Master, I will go first. I will wait for you at Tianmen Terrace tonight..."
