Fairyland Sunshine

Chapter 124 Nangong Yu

Fu Xixuan's return made the atmosphere even more lively.

He pulled Xu Heng to sit down and introduced the people present to him.

In addition to Nangong Yu and Ling Lingxiu, the people present were actually all prominent figures in the Xingxiu Sea Realm. However, compared with these disciples from the big sects, they seemed like just accompanying guests.

Xu Heng was not a person who liked to show off. He had met them one by one. Naturally, everyone was quite curious about him, but they just chatted with him for a few words.

It's not that they all kept their distance from Xu Heng, but they all understood everything. After Fu Xixuan invited Xu Heng to sit down, he quickly turned around and opened the golden book of Linglong Treasure Boat, and started to "evaluate" it one by one with Nangong Yu.

In the private room, the distance between people clearly did not change, yet they seemed to be separated by the atmosphere. Only Xu Heng and Ling Lingxiu were left outside the lively atmosphere.

Xu Heng's eyes fell on Ling Lingxiu's face and found that she was still looking at him. He couldn't help but cough lightly. Just as he was about to say "How are you?", Ling Lingxiu spoke first.

"Junior brother, why did you join the Tianchi sect?"

Xu Heng's eyes moved. He found that Ling Lingxiu's voice would disappear within three feet. She was clearly talking to Xu Heng in the crowd, but only he could hear it.

This was not an ordinary secret sound transmission technique. Unless one was within three feet of the two people, even the most powerful hearing sense would not be able to detect it. However, such a subtle technique did not produce the slightest fluctuation of magical power, as if it was just an ordinary conversation.

From this move alone, Xu Heng could tell that Ling Lingxiu's cultivation and Taoism seemed to have made great progress.

This is understandable. When Xu Heng had not yet embarked on the path of Taoism, Ling Lingxiu had already built a superior foundation for Taoism and cultivated magical powers. For such people, as long as they accumulate enough, they may usher in a stage of rapid progress and rise to the top at any time.

Xu Heng is now at this critical juncture, so he naturally knows this very well.

His mind was full of thoughts, and he just nodded slightly and replied, "That's right, I have been practicing in Tianchi Mountain for more than eight years."

Ling Lingxiu said, "More than eight years, doesn't that mean... not long after coming down the mountain, he entered the Tianchi Lake? The Tianchi Lake is in Yu Kunlun, which is hundreds of thousands of miles away from Dafeng."

Xu Heng responded and said, "I met my mentor by chance in Dafeng. I was extremely lucky to be favored by him and was accepted as his disciple. Then I went to Tianchi Mountain."

"Oh?" Ling Lingxiu hesitated for a moment and asked, "I have heard that several of the senior uncles and aunts in the Tianchi sect were once the true disciples of the third generation. I wonder which one you want to worship?"

Xu Heng straightened his face and replied, "I am a disciple of Master Qiao."

"Master Qiao?" Ling Lingxiu asked in surprise, "Is it Master Qiao Cheng?"

After getting Xu Heng's affirmation, she couldn't help but say: "I heard that this 'master uncle' was once a top figure in the three generations. I am so grateful that I can get his favor..."

"Yeah, that's great." Ling Lingxiu looked at Xu Heng. She had changed a lot over the years, but her hands were still the same as before.

She said: "After I arrived in the East China Sea, I learned that my junior brother had neither worshipped Peng Xuan nor been to Qixia Island."

"But I know that with Junior Brother's talent, he will definitely not be lost in the mortal world, and the fact is indeed so."

Xu Heng's heart was moved, and he couldn't help asking: "Sister, why did you come to the East Sea?"

"What are you thinking about, brother?" Ling Lingxiu said with a smile, "I'm just going back to Qixia Island to practice for a while." Having said that, the corners of her eyes raised slightly.

Xu Heng couldn't help but laugh. It was only then that he felt as if he had returned to the past. He asked, "Senior Sister, have you succeeded in condensing the evil spirit?"

"Yes." Ling Lingxiu said: "I went back to Qixia Island this time to learn the method of Cai Gang from my uncle."

Xu Heng still remembered Ling Lingxiu's uncle, the famous immortal. The method of collecting Gang of such a person must be top-notch. Of course, it is not as good as the method of Xuanwei School, but everyone's practice is different.

Moreover, Xu Heng knew that the Xuanwei Sect's "Xuanwei Dong Miao Gong" and even the "Xuanwei Hengfa Dadong Zhenjing" were actually a very unique Taoist method...

Xu Heng nodded and took the initiative to say: "The reason why I left the mountain to travel this time is to find a suitable earthly evil spirit to match."

"Junior brother's progress is as fast as ever." Ling Lingxiu said: "Fortunately, I have not been lazy, otherwise I would have been overtaken by Junior brother."

Xu Heng smiled and said, "Sister, please wait. I will catch up with you once I reach the Golden Core stage."

The two chatted, and everything seemed to be the same as before, yet everything was completely different. It was just that what the difference was was unknown except for their own feelings.

As they chatted, the topic no longer involved the affairs of the two families, and gradually moved away from reminiscing and greetings, and the two of them no longer restrained their voices.

At this moment, Fu Xixuan seemed to be talking to Nangong Yu about the "fantastic fate" between him and Xu Heng. Nangong Yu slapped the table and asked in surprise, "Is Fellow Daoist Xu's attainments in Taoism really so high?"

When Xu Heng heard this, he turned around and saw Nangong Yu smiling at him. He said, "I always win when discussing profound theories with Junior Brother Fu, but I don't believe in his judgment..."

"Hey!" Fu Xixuan said, "Wait, when did you win the debate against me?"

Nangong Yu said: "Every time I debate with you, I can solve many doubts, but you get nothing. Isn't this a 'great victory'?"

Upon hearing this, everyone who was listening on the side burst into laughter, even the lady who was pouring wine could not help laughing.

Nangong Yuquan didn't care, but continued to say to Xu Heng: "So I want to see, is your attainment really that high?"

Xu Heng saw Ling Lingxiu's eyes curved, and suddenly he felt as if time had gone back. He subconsciously avoided her gaze and said with a smile: "Okay, then Brother Nangong, do you want to ask a difficult question to test me?"

“No, no, no.” Nangong Yu said, “I heard from Junior Brother Fu that you are proficient in fire magic, and it just so happens that I am best at water magic, so why don’t we use this water and fire to compare.”

"Oh?" Xu Heng asked, "How do we compare?"

Nangong Yu smiled slightly, suddenly stretched out two fingers, dipped them in the wine bottle beside him, and then flicked them lightly.

Then a drop of wine flew towards Xu Heng at a not very fast speed.

Xu Heng's heart moved. This drop of wine seemed ordinary, but with his keen eyesight, he could naturally see the profound "Dharma nature" in it.

It was a surging force of water, like an invisible wave, constantly surging, spinning, and piling up in this drop of wine...

Xu Heng knew that this drop of wine would probably weigh a thousand pounds. This way of "discussing the Tao" was not like discussing the mysteries, reasoning, and debating with Fu Xixuan...
