No abstraction, no cultivation

Chapter 73 Trouble
Xu Shun met Lan Dao Ren half a month later.

"Oh? You were there for only one day?" After hearing Xu Shun's recent story, Lan Daoren said with a smile, "There are also Duiyue Tower and Fuyun Pavilion in Qingyun Market, but I didn't go to experience them."

Duiyue Tower is a restaurant and Fuyun Pavilion is a hot spring.

"It's not my money, so I dare not spend it carelessly," said Xu Shun.

What is not yours will never be yours.

Taoist Lan held up the red-skinned gourd and said, "I went to Fulu Pavilion when I was young. You bargained so hard for the gourd!"

"This gourd is pretty good, worth the money. If it were me, it would be worth at least five hundred taels."

He saw that there was nothing wrong with the gourd, and he didn't know where the idiot came from who wanted to buy it for five thousand taels.

"The shopkeeper still remembers you!" Xu Shun continued.

"At that time, I and..." Taoist Lan looked at the gourd and suddenly stopped talking, as if he remembered something.

After a while, he picked up the emerald green jade bottle again.

Inside is Ten Day Drunk.

Acacia, sixty years, drunk for ten days, becoming a fairy in wine!

I don't ask for eternity, but I ask for a night of pleasure.

"Since you received this bottle of wine, you should return it!" Taoist Lan put the jade bottle on the table.

"Me?" Xu Shun was stunned.

"She is Lan Die and lives in Cuiping Cliff." After saying this, Taoist Lan took his jade token and gourd and left.

"Ah?" Xu Shun was about to say something when he saw Lan Daoren leap up and soar into the sky, disappearing without a trace.

Xu Shun looked at the bottle on the table and scratched his head.

Damn it, how did this trouble fall on me!

Alas, it was because I was young at that time!
He also didn't expect that Ziyun, the fierce female cultivator, would play this trick on him.

After looking at the sun, he took the jade bottle and walked out of the courtyard.

Not long after he left the courtyard, a white sword light flew from the sky and landed in the courtyard.

The man had an upright posture, an imposing bearing, and a handsome appearance. There was a black mole on the left corner of his eyebrow, and with a long beard, he looked like an immortal.

It was Lan Daoren’s eldest disciple, Zishu.

Zi Shu looked at the empty courtyard in confusion. It was the same as when he came back in the past. He said puzzledly: "Hey! Didn't the master say that the master accepted two new disciples? Why is there still no one?"

Xu Shun didn't know that his senior brother had returned. He asked several people in succession and took a lot of effort before he found Cuiping Cliff.

Cuiping Cliff and Lan Daoren's courtyard are both relatively remote places in the Qinghua Sect.

The cliffs are towering into the clouds, and the steep cliffs are like emerald green jade. Clear spring water seeps out from the cracks in the rocks, and the stream gurgles. Wild flowers are everywhere, colorful, red like fire, yellow like gold, white like snow, and purple like clouds.

Countless butterflies dance above the wild flowers, flying lightly among the flowers or circling leisurely in the air. The colorful colors on their wings shine in the sun like stars scattered in the sky.

Xu Shun was stunned. He didn't expect that there was such a place in the Qinghua Sect.

On the cliff where butterflies are flying, there is a cave with three elegant words written on it.

Butterfly Cave.

"Excuse me, is Uncle Lan Die at home?" Xu Shun came to the entrance of the cave and asked loudly.

The cave opened and a person came out. It was Ziyun again.

"Why are you here? What are you doing here?" Ziyun looked at the Ten Days Drunk in Xu Shun's hand and said with a slightly unfriendly tone.

She guessed what Xu Shun was here for.

Today, Ziyun returned to her usual attire. Fortunately, this was the second time Xu Shun had seen it, and his resistance to the big and white one had improved a lot.

"I wonder if your master is at home?" Xu Shun asked.

"No! My master is out." Ziyun said.

At this moment, just as at that moment.

Before Xu Shun could say anything, he saw a female cultivator coming out of the cave. She was thin, wearing a simple Taoist robe, with butterflies landing on her shoulders, a few strands of black hair gently hanging down, and a simple jade hairpin pinned in her hair.

Her face was like the softest sunshine in the early morning of spring, delicate and gentle, with a hint of sadness between her brows, as if hiding thousands of words.

Like Daiyu, like the green bamboos in the forest.

"Zicai greets Uncle Master Lan Die!" Xu Shun bowed to Lan Die and said.

"What you did to me is really..." Ziyun sneered, thinking that Xu Shun was showing off his skills in front of an expert and trying to trick him into coming back.

"Yun'er, don't make a fuss." Lan Die interrupted Zi Yun and said, "Since you are Senior Brother Ran's disciple, please come in. What does it mean to talk at the door?"

When she opened her mouth, her voice was gentle and melodious, very pleasant to the ear.

Ziyun then realized that her master had really come. She hurriedly said, "Master, didn't you just say that I can handle this matter!"

"You have an impatient personality. Don't offend Senior Brother Ran's disciple." Lan Die said to Xu Shun, "Come in together."

After that, she led the way.

"Master, you..." Ziyun was really anxious when he saw his master's indecisive character.

Inside the cave, the bricks are made of green jade, the table is made of blue jade, and there are butterflies as decorations. It looks quite...cold.

"Junior Brother Zicai, please take a seat!" Lan Die sat on the jade bed at the top and motioned Xu Shun to sit next to the jade table to talk.

"I haven't seen him for a long time. Is he okay?" Lan Die asked.

Xu Shun replied: "Master can eat and drink, very good."

Seeing that Lan Die was about to say something, Xu Shun quickly said, "Last time, my uncle sent someone to deliver Ten Days of Drunk. My master was not at home that day, so my nephew had to collect it for me."

"Master came back today and after hearing what I told him, he asked me to bring the wine back."

"Now Ten Ri is drunk here!"

As he spoke, Xu Shun placed the jade bottle on the table.

"There is no reason to return the things my master gave away!" Lan Die didn't say anything, but Ziyun spoke first.

"Did he... say anything?" Lan Die just stared at Shi Rizui in a daze.

"My master didn't say anything, he just asked me to bring the wine." Xu Shun said honestly.

It's not appropriate for him to say anything at this time.

He should stay out of the affairs of the previous generation.

Lan Die was stunned and silent for a while, then whispered, "Really... So that's how it is."

"Since the wine has been delivered, I'll take my leave!" Xu Shun said with a bow.

Ziyun had spent so much effort to give away the wine, how could he let Xu Shun leave like this? Wouldn’t the wine have been given away in vain?
"How can you just leave like this? Master sent me..."

"Forget it!" Lan Die interrupted her and said with all her might, "Sorry to bother you in this case!"

"Ziyun, please see Zicai off!" Lan Die instructed her disciple again.

"Don't be so polite!" Xu Shun said and left.

Finally finished this troublesome task!

Ziyun sent Xu Shun out of the cave, giving him countless murderous looks along the way.

Boy, don't fall into my hands!

Xu Shun just pretended not to see it.

When Ziyun returned to the jade bed, he saw his master staring at the jade bottle with tears in his eyes and muttering something in a low voice.

Ziyun saw it immediately, and immediately ran to Lan Die, took her hand and said:
"Master, when we women meet a man we like, we must capture him and imprison him as a star slave, and squeeze him dry day and night!"

"You, you..."

Lan Die burst out laughing, she knew Ziyun was just trying to make her happy.
