Fairyland Sunshine

Chapter 208 Daytime and Moonlight
“Senior sister, senior sister…!”

Outside, hurried footsteps were heard. A young Taoist priest rushed into the temple and was about to shout, but stopped abruptly.

In the middle of the hall, a gaunt old Taoist and a female cultivator in a plain skirt were standing side by side. They seemed to be talking, but were interrupted by his intrusion, so they all looked over there.

"Master..." The young Taoist priest's mouth trembled slightly, and he hurriedly bowed and called: "Master, Senior Sister."

The old Taoist couldn't help but shook his head, but ignored her and just said to the female cultivator: "Anyway, Lingxiu, you should seize the opportunity."

Ling Lingxiu responded slowly with "yes", and then saw the old Taoist nodded slightly and walked into the back of the hall with his hands behind his back.

Only then did Li Qiaonian dare to step forward, but before he could say anything else, Ling Lingxiu turned around and said calmly, "Let's talk outside."

Hearing this, Li Qiaonian had to hold back his words. As soon as he left the palace, he could no longer hold back and started to talk: "Senior Sister, do you know that you have ascended to the Dao level? And I heard from Junior Brother Liu that you are not the last one..."

Ling Lingxiu glanced at him, but said calmly: "When the four-character review changed, I already knew it."

Li Qiaonian's body trembled, and he said dryly: "Oh, so that's it."

After a pause, he could not help but complain: "It is because Master always says that I am unstable and refuses to let me travel outside the mountain. Otherwise, how could I be so isolated from the news..."

"What about being blinded by news? What about being well-informed?" Ling Lingxiu asked, "Does it hinder your cultivation?"

Li Qiaonian was completely speechless. After a long silence, he suddenly said, "Well, Senior Sister, do you know that this time, that person finally got the word "Fa" on the list? This is one of the four lists!"

Ling Lingxiu's expression was still calm, like a stone thrown into a still lake.

Li Qiaonian was still unaware and continued to talk incessantly, "I didn't expect that he would go to... that sect and achieve such success."

“No wonder after he came down the mountain, Master scolded Uncle Lian three times a day, and Uncle Yan was never in a good mood either…”

"Okay." Ling Lingxiu said, "How can you criticize the teacher?"

Li Qiaonian chuckled, "I was just talking to my senior sister in private, and no one else could hear us!"

Before he could finish his words, there was a sudden loud explosion in the distance, which immediately scared him.

"This is..." Li Qiaonian looked back and saw a leaden cloud spreading across the sky, with five-colored lightning bursting out from it and electric snakes jumping and flashing continuously.

Ling Lingxiu stared at the five-colored lightning, and a thought flashed through her eyes, "Could this be the legendary 'Five Elements Thunder Seal'?"

"Senior Brother Chen actually inherited this Taoist technique and mastered it..."

Ling Lingxiu had only vaguely heard of the Five Elements Thunder Seal, and Li Qiaonian knew nothing about it. He just looked at the thunderclouds in the distance and couldn't help but say, "Since the battle with Feng Tianqiu, Senior Brother's thunder magic seems to have become more sophisticated."

"Except for Ying Xianlin who never changes, Feng Tianqiu and Senior Brother Chen have been taking turns to be the second in the Fa category over the years. I wonder when they will be able to truly compete with each other."

Ling Lingxiu did not respond, but for some reason, her thoughts suddenly wandered.

……

……

Jade peaks stand tall, icy mist lingers, cold springs gurgle, and wind and moon dance together.

When good friends get together, there are always endless topics to talk about. On Yutai Peak, Xu Heng and Zheng Jian drank and chatted. Before they knew it, it was already night. The two were still in high spirits, so they simply climbed to the top of the peak to drink under the moonlight, but they wasted the pot of Huoshen Brew that Zheng Jian had been reluctant to drink. Zheng Jian was already drunk, and when he poured out the ice pot, he found that he could not pour out even a drop of wine. He immediately sobered up a little and said in pain: "Bad! I just gave it to my junior brother to taste, how come I drank it all without knowing it?"

Xu Heng just laughed, raised the cup in his hand, and drank the last sip of the precious wine. At the end, he showed Zheng Jian that the cup was empty.

Zheng Jian sighed continuously, but as he sighed, he couldn't help laughing.

"Never mind, it's really fun to drink with good friends." He said, "It's worth my return to the mountain, so I'll go get drunk with my junior brother."

Xu Heng then realized that Zheng Jian had just returned to the mountain today. He thought for a moment and said, "Brother, it has probably been ten years since you left the mountain. I wonder how many medicinal herbs you have found?"

"How can it be so easy to find a remedy for this problem?" Zheng Jian shook his head. "To be honest, I'm telling you the truth."

He bowed to the empty space and said, "If it weren't for my teacher's guidance to a secret place where I could gather the essence of the five innate elements, I would still have nothing to show for it now."

Xu Heng just nodded slightly and said, "I see."

However, Zheng Jian obviously did not need his comfort. Instead, he said, "Junior brother has also merged the Gang and Sha into one. It is time to start preparing for the pill condensation."

In fact, Xu Heng has already collected two of the three major external medicines, but he naturally would not show them off, and just replied: "My little brother saves it."

"I know that Junior Brother has all the innate five elements." Zheng Jian added, "But it's not easy to find the Immortal Ganoderma and the Primordial Root. If you really don't have any clues, you might as well ask Senior Brother Qiao for help."

Xu Heng's heart moved slightly.

Zheng Jian also said that he was able to absorb the essence of the five elements because of the guidance of his mentor, so it would be fine for him to ask Master Qiao for some guidance.

Moreover, Xu Heng also knew that even if Master Qiao really had some clues, at most he could only point him in a direction, just like when he once directed him to find Master Xuanxin. Whether he could succeed or not would still depend on his own ability.

In fact, this is also the consistent style of the masters of Xuanmen. Don’t think that what Zheng Jian said is simple. He may have suffered a lot on the way to find the secret realm.

Thinking of this, Xu Heng nodded and said, "Thank you for your guidance, Senior Brother."

"What kind of advice is this?" Zheng Jian laughed, picked up the ice stone again, tilted it into the cup, and actually poured out half a cup of wine.

"Senior brother?" Xu Heng pointed at Zheng Jian in astonishment, but he saw him raise the cup to his lips and said drunkenly, "The last sip is also the most mellow."

After saying this, he drank it all in one gulp, laughed loudly and said, "Let's go." Then Zheng Jian turned into a sword light and rushed into the air.

Xu Heng stood up and watched Zheng Jian disappear into the sky. He turned around to glance at the curling stone and couldn't help but smile again.

He picked up the ice pot and poured it again. Sure enough, there was still half a cup of wine. He drank it down in one gulp and found it was indeed the mellowest. Then he put his hands behind his back and walked back to his house leisurely.

After drinking half a pot of Fire God Brew, no matter how small the effect was, it was already a small boost. Xu Heng's body was full of heat, so he went straight to the meditation room, sat cross-legged, and slowly circulated his qi and regulated his breathing.

After a moment, Xu Heng's intuition reached its best state, so he shook his sleeves and a strange stone fell in front of him.

This strange stone had a faint heat. Xu Heng stretched out his finger and pointed at it, removing the restriction on it. Suddenly, a bit of turbid burning light emerged from its surface.

Upon seeing this, Xu Heng nodded secretly, and then he chanted a spell. The star-like turbid flames suddenly rose up and turned into a line of fire that was sucked into his acupoint.
