Fairyland Sunshine

Chapter 126 Ling Lingxiu
"Meteorites raining?" Xu Heng asked in surprise.

"That's right." Nangong Yu said, "My Taihe Sect's masters observed the sky at night and determined that within a hundred days or so, a large number of meteorites will fall into the Xingxiu Sea. There is even a huge 'meteor' that is as big as an island or a mountain mixed in."

"The lord is compassionate and has decided to open the Star Picking Platform to capture meteorites to prevent them from falling into the sea or even sinking other continents and islands, causing great loss of life..."

Xu Heng knew that there were many meteorites in Xingxiu Sea. There were rumors that in ancient times, countless meteorites fell from the sky and pierced through the layer of qi above Xingxiu Sea, so that after such a long time, the qi was still much thinner than other places.

It is unknown whether this story is true or not, but there are indeed many meteorites in Xingxiu Sea. However, this is the first time Xu Heng has heard of the "picking stars" thing.

Fu Xixuan was also standing by, and when he heard Nangong Yu say this, an inexplicable smile appeared on his face.

Xu Heng's mind turned, and he realized that although there was nothing wrong with Nangong Yu's words, they also concealed some tacit things.

Why is Xingxiu Sea so rich? It is because in ancient times, the falling meteorites brought countless resources.

Even though the scale of this meteor shower may not be one ten-thousandth of that time, the same principle applies.

It is true that the Taihe Sect's capture of meteorites is a good deed to save sentient beings, but the wealth that can be gained is unimaginable. If the Taihe Sect were not the largest sect in the Xingxiu Sea, it might not even be qualified to do this to save sentient beings.

Of course, apart from the Taihe Sect, perhaps no other forces have this ability. Even those medium-sized sects with Jindan Zhenren in charge can only protect their own little piece of land, which may indeed lead to the destruction of lives.

Moreover, if Taihe Sect does this, it will benefit everyone, so Nangong Yu said what he said at this time.

He said that all disciples of the Taihe Sect could invite those who were willing to "do good and accumulate virtue" to go to Taihe Prefecture and climb the Zhaixing Terrace together.

The Taihe Sect's formation will weaken the power of the falling meteorites. All those who come on stage can participate in "picking stars". Naturally, if there is anything they gain, it will be a reward.

"I can't say that we hit it off right away, but I admire your demeanor and attainments in Taoism." Nangong Yu said, "If you are interested, we can go to this event together."

Xu Heng's heart moved, and he thought of the Nine Yin True Evil under the volcano.

Those volcanic demons have no roots in the earth. Xu Heng once guessed that they were brought by meteorites. If he went to the Star Picking Conference, would he have such a harvest?
Thinking of this, Xu Heng couldn't help but shake his head and smile. Although he was quite looking forward to the Hesha, he was not so fanciful. However, it was possible for him to attend the Star Picking Conference.

He didn't have much idea about what he could gain, but he wanted to take a look at the magnificent scene of capturing the falling meteorites. It would only take about a hundred days, and after his physical body had condensed, the growth of his magic power had not yet reached a bottleneck.

Hearing Xu Heng agree, Nangong Yu clapped his hands and said with a smile: "In that case, we can set off for Taihe now."

Xu Heng frowned slightly and asked, "So anxious?"

"Why? Fellow Daoist, do you have something you want to buy in this treasure fair?" Nangong Yu said, "If that's the case, I can wait for you to buy the thing you want to buy."

"That's not the case." Xu Heng thought about it and felt that there was nothing to hide, so he took out something from his sleeve, showed it to a few people, and said, "I haven't refined this thing completely yet. If I leave Linglong Baohui now, someone might come to find me."

"If I were alone, I wouldn't be afraid, but if I were to go with you, I'm afraid it would cause trouble."

"Oh?" Fu Xixuan couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, thinking in his heart: "When I was competing with Brother Nangong just now, could it be that Brother Dao was also using his mind and body to refine this thing?"

Nangong Yu didn't think much about it. He took a look at what Xu Heng held in his hand and said, "It turned out to be the Hengxing Hunhai Boat? Humph... These people who bring trouble to Dongzhou are nothing but trouble."

"Don't worry, fellow Daoist. With so many of us here, why should we be afraid of the Chaos Star Alliance? If they really dare to come here, we will definitely make them fall flat on their face."

Xu Heng also smiled when he heard this, and agreed: "In that case, let's follow your advice."

"Good." Nangong Yu saw that the discussion was settled, and then turned to Ling Lingxiu and asked, "Is Brother Ling Daoist satisfied?"

Xu Heng was a little surprised. When he heard Nangong Yu say this, he knew that the reason why so many people gathered here today was that most of them wanted to follow him to Taihezhou to climb the Star Picking Platform. He thought Ling Lingxiu should be one of them, but now it seems that this is not the case. Ling Lingxiu heard this, but she didn't think for long, and said, "It's not that I don't want to be invited, but my homework is urgent now, so I won't join in the fun."

Nangong Yu was a little surprised, so he could only reply: "That's fine, I wish you a smooth practice."

Ling Lingxiu nodded gently and said, "Since you are leaving for Taihe Prefecture soon, I will not stay any longer and will go first."

After saying this, his eyes fell on Xu Heng and he asked, "Junior brother, won't you give me a ride?"

Xu Heng smiled slightly, then apologized to Nangong Yu and the other two, and stood up together with Ling Lingxiu, and left the private room side by side.

It was very quiet in the exquisite treasure boat, and the two of them didn't seem to have much to say. They just walked quietly, and soon left the ship's tower and arrived on the empty deck.

"Junior brother, aren't you surprised?" Ling Lingxiu paused and asked suddenly.

"Not surprising." Xu Heng said, "I know that Senior Sister has changed a lot."

Ling Lingxiu stared at her for a moment, and then she was sure that Xu Heng's words and answers to her questions should be consistent with what she thought. She couldn't help but pursed her lips and revealed a faint smile.

"Junior brother." Ling Lingxiu said, "I know you understand my feelings."

Xu Heng was finally stunned.

He was a very intelligent person, not a dull stone or wood, so how could he not understand? He just didn't expect Ling Lingxiu to say it like that.

He did not reply for a moment, and Ling Lingxiu also turned her head slightly, not knowing whether she was looking at the brilliance of the treasure outside or at the cold moon in the sky.

Ling Lingxiu said, "In fact, I have seriously thought about it. Am I feeling guilty towards my junior brother? Or am I feeling sorry for his divine appearance? Or am I a little bit envious of his talent for cultivation? Or am I just young and naive, so I tend to like him, and as time goes by, my feelings for him grow deeper and deeper?"

Xu Heng listened to her quietly and said, "Later I thought, there is actually no reason for young Mu Ai to be so fond of her."

"I sent the letter to my junior brother with the wind. He must not have received it. But later I often recalled it and realized that the emotions of young people are so pure."

Ling Lingxiu finally turned around and asked Xu Heng, "Junior brother, do you think people's hearts are fickle?"

Xu Heng said: "I think it is changeable."

"Yes." Ling Lingxiu smiled and said, "I have loved reading Taoist books since I was a child, and I have a desire to explore the truth. So even though my aptitude is not the best, I have always been placed with high hopes."

"But because of my junior brother's stunning appearance, I was actually in a state of confusion. It's really unbelievable."

Xu Heng smiled softly and said, "But Senior Sister's Taoism has improved greatly, and it doesn't seem like she has ever stopped."

Ling Lingxiu curved her eyes and said, "Why do you want to stop?"

"I want to go to the end of the road and see what the scenery is like. It would be great if I could occasionally meet the person I care about along the way."

……

"I am leaving."

Ling Lingxiu's farewell was scattered in the wind. Xu Heng watched a ray of clear cloud disappear into the sky and couldn't help but smile.
