Aze looked at the two gray Taoists carefully, and finally did not accept their proposal.
"No, I want to take a look around here, and then I'll take the ferry to leave when the time comes."
"Where are you going, fellow Daoist? I heard that the Xuanxin Mansion's flying boat is docked at the port, but are you going to the Xingluo Small Continent?"
"It doesn't matter where we go. I haven't decided yet. So I'll take my leave now!"
Aze smiled, bowed, and left on his own. The two gray Taoists stood there and watched him leave, with no intention of chasing after him.
"Da Hui, you are not making this man up to be with us, right? I think he is quite evil."
When Little Gray asked this, Big Gray shook his head.
"Of course I'm not making this up. We are borrowing the Divine Lord's method to experience the transformation of our spirit bodies, which is very sensitive. I asked you to work harder in your daily life, otherwise you would not be unable to feel it. However, I can't tell you what that strange feeling is specifically. Perhaps Senior Brother can figure it out here."
Big Gray crossed his arms and put one hand under his armpit, looking into the distance and spoke to Little Gray in a murmur.
"It's really strange today. That fairy seems to be emitting a bit of demonic energy, and this disciple from Jiufeng Mountain seems to be emitting a bit of devilish energy. But they are both immortals in human bodies, and there is no sign of their souls being occupied. Relatively speaking, the girl is more dangerous. This one may have lost some of her mental defenses and has signs of being possessed by a demon."
Xiao Hui rubbed his nose.
"Isn't that woman really smelling like a fox? Maybe she is a fox in disguise."
"Fuck the body odor! Let's go and take care of our own business first."
The two of them turned around and left, returning to the port, but in another direction, where the newly opened Lingbaoxuan was located, and the Yuhuaibao Pavilion next to it was also built at about the same time.
In addition to Lingbaoxuan and Yuhuaibaoge, which have been almost prepared, there are at least a dozen shops in that area that are also being decorated, and most of them are related to Yuhuaibaoge and Lingbaoxuan.
"Da Hui, this Patriarch Wei is really a wealthy man, with tentacles extending everywhere, yet he still has the energy to take care of everything. He also has a close relationship with our headmaster. I heard that his cultivation is not very high, but he makes so many masters listen to him and act accordingly. He is really amazing!"
Dahui smiled and whispered.
"I heard from Sister Yaya that the head of the Wei family used to come to the eldest master's Ju'an Pavilion very often and was very attentive."
"So he knows the master!"
Little Gray's eyes widened, while Big Gray nodded slightly. In fact, the two of them had seen the Big Master a few times before, but although they were smart at that time, they were not smart enough, and they were very shy. They always avoided people when they saw them, and they had never been able to get close to the Big Master.
Thinking of this, Xiao Hui became very depressed.
"Hey, Dahui, how nice it would be if we could run to the master's knees or feet and rub against him when he comes."
"Don't be silly, just practice hard. When we can truly transform, this spiritual body will help us to be reborn. We should be content with such a gift from the Lord of God. Why are you still expecting a gift from the Master?"
Big Gray tapped Little Gray on the head. The latter rubbed his head, grinned and stopped talking.
But at this moment, Lian Ping'er was not waiting in the inn, but in a luxurious courtyard shrouded by a formation in the center of the island. She was warmly welcomed by the owner inside, who invited her into his home to chat for a while, and then solemnly sent her to the door of her home.
If Ji Yuan was here, he would be able to recognize that the old man who was talking to Lian Ping'er in the wealthy courtyard of this cultivation family was Min Xian's other senior brother, but he seemed several times older than before, and the skin on his face was loose.
The old man personally escorted Lian Ping'er to the door, which was also the entrance and exit of the formation.
"Oh, Fellow Daoist Lian, I forgot to mention that Haige is almost ready, but Master is not in a position to take action. Senior Brother also said that our Master will not force Master, so Fellow Daoist Lian needs to put in more effort!"
"Um?"
Lian Ping'er's expression changed slightly as she looked at the old man who seemed to be full of energy but was actually suffering from severe loss of vitality.
"Didn't you just say it was foolproof?"
"With a trainer here, it's naturally foolproof, isn't it? Ahem... "
The old man suddenly started coughing violently. His face turned pale and his expression looked extremely painful. Wisps of unpleasant smoke came out of his mouth and nose. During this process, Lian Ping'er did not support the old man who seemed to be on the verge of collapse. Instead, she walked away a few steps.
After coughing violently for a while, the old man finally managed to suppress his cough. He took out a jade bottle from his sleeve, uncorked it and poured out a pill that exuded a strong chill. After taking it, he felt much better after the medicinal power was dissolved, and his complexion became rosy again.
"Huh..."
The old man let out a sigh, as if he had just come back to life.
Lian Ping'er suddenly laughed.
“Hehehe… Senior, the Ji Yin Pill is almost useless, right? I wonder what other methods our senior master can use to extend your life? Your life is still very important!”
Lian Ping'er deliberately emphasized the syllables of the last few words, but his expression was very gentle. The old man looked up at him, sneered and said nothing extra.
"Fellow Daoist Lian, take care. I won't see you off!"
After saying this, the old man went straight back inside the door, and the door slowly closed, leaving Lian Ping'er outside the door with a playful look on his face, and whispered something.
"Pitiful!"
…
Aze didn't go to find Lian Ping'er, but the latter would go to find him. This was an indescribable intuition at first, but after meeting Aze and observing him for a while, she understood the reason.
However, when Lian Ping'er found Aze again, he discovered that he had changed his clothes. He had changed from the Jiufeng Mountain disciple robe with some restrictions in it to an ordinary white robe, which looked a bit like a Confucian scholar's clothes, but more flowing. He was not wearing the scarf or hat that most scholars liked, but a small bun on his head with a jade hairpin inserted in it.
Looking at the way Aze walked on the street and the smile on his face, Lian Ping'er, who had been approaching Aze silently, laughed out loud.
“Puchi~hahahahaha…”
"Are you, the senior just now?"
Ah Ze didn't react until he heard the laughter. He turned around and took a step back. Although he didn't trust the two gray Taoists, he was also wary of the female cultivator after what they said. After all, he had heard a saying a long time ago: There is no such thing as a free lunch. This wariness applies to both the gray Taoist and the female cultivator.
Lian Ping'er put one hand on her waist, half bent, and covered her mouth with the other hand. She looked at Aze with a shaking smile. Even with her mouth covered, she couldn't stop smiling, and her smiling voice was transmitted to Aze's ears.
"Are you imitating Ji Yuan?"
The woman spoke in a relaxed tone, but Aze felt like he was struck by lightning when he heard the words. His whole body shook and he looked at Lian Ping'er with excitement.
"You, how do you know?"
Lian Ping'er finally stopped smiling and answered in a very casual manner.
"Well, of course I know. I know Ji Yuan too well. The way you looked just now was exactly like him. Next time I see you, I will definitely tell him about it. Hehehe..."
Aze was stunned at first but then he was delighted. Looking at the appearance of this female cultivator, he knew that she must know Mr. Ji.
"Do you know Mr. Ji? Do you know where he is? Can you take me to see him? I haven't seen him for almost 20 years. In this world, only Mr. Ji and Sister Jin are kind to me. I still have many questions to ask him and many things to say to him!"
Lian Ping'er looked at the somewhat excited expression on Aze's face, and figured out his age by observing his aura, and just smiled gently.
"Hasn't life been good in Jiufeng Mountain these years?"
Aze widened his eyes, feeling aggrieved and excited, but because of the surging emotions and his efforts to restrain them, he didn't know what to say for a moment. Lian Ping'er, who had changed before and seemed more gentle and soft, handed him a silk scarf.
"Even when I grow up, I cry deliberately when I want to. Um, I forgot to mention that my name is Ning Xin, and I'm not a bad person."
Facing the handsome Aze, Lian Ping'er's tone was like coaxing a child, and the latter pushed away the scarf, lowered his head and spoke quickly.
"My name is Aze, I..."
"I know. Ji Yuan mentioned you to me. You miss him a lot. So do I..."
Lian Ping'er's tone seemed a little melancholy, and seemed to carry some emotion of nostalgia.
"This is not the place to talk. Come on, tell me how you got here these years."
"You...you and Mr. are..."
Aze asked in a low voice as he followed the woman's steps, and the latter smiled at him.
"I guess he's his Taoist partner..."
Hearing this, Aze was stunned again. Then the woman in front of him seemed to have thought of something. Her face turned red in an instant and she looked at Aze.
"Don't let your imagination wander..."
