Confucian and Taoist scholar

Chapter 349 Five Realms Great Demon
"Be more casual. There aren't so many rules here."

The woman smiled. Judging from Lu Zheng's performance just now, he was qualified to be her guest.

Lu Zheng smiled politely and found a chair made of shells to sit down.

The woman waved her hand lightly, and a jade cup filled with fine wine was placed on the table in front of Lu Zheng.

The amber-colored spirit wine exudes a unique fragrance, which makes people feel clear-minded when they smell it.

"Thank you, senior."

Lu Zheng was not polite. He had just spent a lot of energy writing the inscription, so he picked up the cup and took a sip.

All of a sudden, a rich spiritual energy surged through his limbs and bones, and his spirit was lifted.

The woman sat down across from him gracefully, her beautiful eyes fixed on Lu Zheng without blinking. "Just now I heard you say you were from Anguo?"

Lu Zheng nodded and said, "He is from Hongzhou, Anguo, and is a scholar of ordinary family background."

Ordinary background? The woman didn't quite believe it, but since the other party said so, it was not easy to ask about some private identity issues.

The woman said quietly, "It's not close to here. Why did you want to come here?"

Lu Zheng explained, "I want to broaden my horizons. After all, there are many things you can't learn from books. Going out more often will be beneficial to my cultivation."

The woman nodded slightly and said with a smile, "That does make sense. Since you're in Yunmengze, would you like to visit me?"

Lu Zheng couldn't help but say, "I am a guest here, Senior."

The woman said slowly: "This place is not my home..."

Lu Zhengdao said, "I still have some things to do. I'll visit you later when I have time."

"What's the matter? Is it urgent?" the woman asked.

Lu Zheng smiled and said, "I met a girl named Yun Fuyao before. I heard that she was from the Yunmeng Sect. Since I'm here, I decided to visit the Yunmeng Sect first."

Seeing that the woman in front of him wanted to keep him, Lu Zheng had no choice but to move Yunmeng Sect out.

When the woman heard this, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes.

She didn't expect that Lu Zheng actually knew that person. She had never even seen that person before, and she didn't dare to call him by his name even in private.

According to Lu Zheng, it seems that Lu Zheng does not know the true identity of that person, and they only met once.

The woman didn't think Lu Zheng was lying. After all, there were some things that simply couldn't be lied about.

The woman laughed and said, "I didn't expect you knew someone from the Yunmeng Sect."

"We met by chance." Lu Zheng smiled slightly, "Senior, do you know this girl?"

"Never." The woman's eyes flickered as she said softly, "But I've been a guest at the Yunmeng Sect before."

Many years ago, Yunmeng Sect held a grand event, and she was fortunate to be selected as a guest to visit Yunmeng Sect.

Unfortunately, I was only a guest for half a day and didn’t even have the chance to see the entire Yunmeng Sect.

Looking back now, the woman still remembers it vividly.

Lu Zheng immediately became interested when he heard this. "Oh, could you please elaborate?"

The woman smiled and said, "Some things about the Yunmeng Sect are not to be spread outside. I'm afraid you've heard some of what I can tell you before. As for the rest, if you can go to the Yunmeng Sect, you will naturally know."

"Oh, I see." Lu Zheng nodded and didn't ask any more questions.

The woman changed the subject and said, "Your treasures are quite good. Can you sell me a few more? I'll trade them with spiritual objects."

Lu Zhengdao said, "I don't have any better literary treasures on me right now. Writing that one piece just now has already exhausted me quite a bit. I'm afraid I won't be able to produce something that will satisfy you, Senior."

The woman knew that it was not easy for Wenbao to write, so she did not force him.

Lu Zheng finished a glass of spirit wine, stood up and said, "Thank you for the spirit wine, senior. I can't stay for long. I will talk to you next time."

The woman's eyes were dim as she asked, "Are you in such a hurry to leave?"

Lu Zheng whispered, "There are still many people waiting for me. I really don't want to make them worry."

Seeing that Lu Zheng was determined to leave, the woman didn't want to keep him. After all, Lu Zheng seemed to have a slight connection with the Yunmeng Sect.

The woman said, "Well, this isn't a good place anyway..."

"I have to stay here for a while. Later, when you are free, you can come to Xinghai Bay to find me."

Since she had received the reward from the Immortal Sect, it was naturally not easy for her to leave here early.

Xinghai Bay? Lu Zheng's mind turned, recalling the map of Yunmengze. It was said that Xinghai Bay was a gathering place for water monsters.

Lu Zheng nodded and said, "Next time I visit you, I will definitely bring you some gifts that will satisfy you."

The woman smiled softly, "Haha, you are thoughtful. I won't take advantage of you. You can tell me what you want. Of course, the cultural treasure just now is a separate transaction."

The woman waved her jade hand and a fist-sized conch flew towards Lu Zheng.

Lu Zheng reached out and caught the conch steadily. He could clearly feel that the conch had some weight and contained a special power.

The woman said slowly, "With this, you can lead them out of this area safely..."

The woman briefly explained how to use the conch.

Lu Zheng took the words to heart and said, "Thank you for your help, senior."

The woman waved her hand and said lazily, "Go ahead. I won't see you off."

"Goodbye." Lu Zheng bowed.

After saying that, Lu Zheng flew out of the Shell Palace and swam in the direction he came from.

The huge shell slowly closed, and the woman drifted back to her comfortable bed. She took out the treasure she had just found and carefully examined it. She murmured softly, "What is the origin of this child? How could he have met the Fuyao Sect Master..."

If her guess was correct, the girl Lu Zheng was talking about was the current leader of Yunmeng Sect.

Sect Leader Fuyao may not be the most powerful figure in Yunmeng Sect, but as the current head of Yunmeng Sect, his strength is also unfathomable and no one dares to underestimate him.

The Yunmeng Sect has always been mysterious, and few people know the internal situation of the Yunmeng Sect. If the woman had not visited the Yunmeng Sect, she would not even know this person.

The woman was very curious about Lu Zheng's background, but she didn't want to know more.

After all, knowing too much about some things can be harmful rather than helpful.

So she didn't even ask Lu Zheng's full name.

Lu Zheng was holding the conch and swimming quickly in the water.

It was dark underwater, but fortunately he left some marks and things along the way as reference points, so he did not lose his way.

Gradually, Lu Zheng sensed the existence of Su Wujie.

……

On the water, two large ships were still docked there, and the sound of waves crashing was endless.

Many people stood on the deck and watched.

Half a day had passed, and they still hadn't seen Lu Zheng come back.

Some people even suspected that Lu Zheng was lost in the fog, or encountered some powerful monster.

Fang Jin couldn't help but wonder, "It took so long. Could it be that this foggy area is very large?"

Fang Jin looked at Qing Wan next to him and asked, "Can you sense where he is?"

Qing Wan shook her head and said, "I'm not that powerful! It's only been a short time. Just keep waiting. Young man, don't be impatient."

Fang Jin twitched the corner of his mouth and thought to himself that you are the youngest person here.

Suddenly, Qing Wan felt the Su Wu Jie in her hand tremble, and a trace of breath was released.

Qing Wan's eyes suddenly widened, "He's coming back!"

Upon hearing this, everyone turned their heads and looked into the fog.

After a while, a vague figure appeared and quickly boarded the boat.

When Fang Jin saw Lu Zheng coming back, he quickly asked, "How's it going? Did you find anything?"

Lu Zhengdao: "We've found a way out, let's start the boat."

The captain next to him was overjoyed when he heard this, and excitedly ordered the crew to start the boat.

Afterwards, Lu Zheng came to the bow of the ship and poured spiritual power into the conch.

The conch suddenly hung in the air, spun around for a while, and then the mouth of the conch pointed in one direction, and a strong wind blew out from the conch.

When the strong wind blew, the fog ahead dispersed into a long and narrow passage.

Lu Zhengdao: "Follow the passage."

"Okay." The captain responded repeatedly.

Lu Zheng controlled the conch, injecting power into it from time to time, allowing it to keep running and open up a straight passage.

Fang Jin stood aside and looked at it, thinking: "There is something special about this magic weapon. It is not affected by the surrounding fog... Where did you get it? Don't tell me you picked it up underwater."

Lu Zheng said: "I met a senior who gave it to me."

"Who?" Fang Jin asked curiously.

Lu Zheng thought about it and felt that there was nothing he couldn't say. "I don't know the name of that senior, but she is from Xinghai Bay and has a shell palace."

Hearing this, Fang Jin was slightly surprised and whispered, "Are you talking about Senior Shenyu?"

When Fang Jin heard Lu Zheng talking about the Shell Palace, he immediately thought of who it was.

There was only one great demon in Xinghai Bay who transformed his shell into a luxurious palace. Many people had seen it.

"Hmm?" Lu Zheng glanced sideways.

Fang Jin said dimly, "That should be it. It's said that senior has the bloodline of the Divine Mirage. I didn't expect that she would be here... Fortunately, she hasn't used her true ability yet. If she had used the mirage ability, we would probably just be spinning in circles..."

Speaking of this, Fang Jin even seemed a little expectant.

He had only heard that Senior Mirage Jade had such ability, but had never seen it with his own eyes.

Fang Jin turned to look at Lu Zheng and asked in surprise, "Why would that person give you this thing to help us escape?"

The reason why Mirage Jade is here is obviously because of the assessment tasks of several immortal sects to recruit disciples.

Fang Jin was a little surprised that the other party was willing to let them go.

Lu Zhengdao said, "She's quite easy to talk to. I exchanged a cultural treasure for this conch."

"Tsk..." Fang Jin exclaimed in amazement, "That person is a great demon who has entered the fifth realm for many years. The cultural treasure you brought must be very valuable, otherwise he would not look down on it."

Lu Zheng said, "It's okay. I wrote it myself, so it did take some time."

Fang Jin's expression froze when he heard this, and he stared at Lu Zheng blankly.

Beside her, Qing Wan stared at the conch in Lu Zheng's hand, "Can I play with this thing?"

Hearing this, Lu Zheng gave the conch to Qing Wan and said, "Then you come. I'm tired from running back and forth. I need to rest."
