Lingyuan Immortal

Chapter 496: Anecdotes at the Door (I)

After chatting and laughing for a while, Chi Kong took out a Buddhist seal and handed it to Chen Mu, introducing it with a smile:
"Brother Lingyuan, this is what my master sent me to give you. With this seal, you can become a first-class worshipper of my Baoguang Temple. I only ask for your wishes to be fulfilled, not for chanting. If you need me in the future, you can return to the Western Desert to recruit disciples..."

Chen Mu accepted the Buddhist seal and nodded, saying, "Please thank the master for his kindness on my behalf, Daoist Fellow Chikong. I will now take my leave."

Chi Kong also straightened his expression, clasped his hands together and saluted, saying: "Fellow Daoist Lingyuan, take care on your journey."

Chen Mu looked up to the sky and let out a long, clear laugh. He rose into the air and left as soon as he said he would.

A monk like him has a long lifespan and a free mind, so he comes and goes without any worries.

The light of escape went straight out of Baoguang Lingshan. Apart from Chikong who saw him off, only Master Shenxiu in the depths watched with a smile...

……

Chen Mu was eager to return home, so he did not delay at all. It only took him about a month to cross the billions of miles between the Western Desert and the Northern Plains.

"After so many years, I wonder if the mountain gate has changed..."

Perhaps because he was getting closer to his master's gate, he had a lot of distracting thoughts in his mind. After shaking his head and smiling, he collected his thoughts and flew towards the Fushan River.

The dusk is deep, the setting sun is all over the sky, the sunset glow hides the clouds and gathers in the sky, all of it is bright red, just like the blush on the face of a beautiful woman when spring comes.

In the sky, two beams of light came from the north.

Gao Xiaoqing stepped on auspicious clouds, her dress and sleeves fluttering in the wind, and she was flying first.

Now she is no longer as young as before, but has become graceful and beautiful, with a radiant look. She wears a lake blue lotus-embroidered skirt and her long black hair is simply tied up, which makes her look even more ethereal and charming.

The woman traveling with her was named Li Qingying. She also had a pretty face, a graceful figure, and was charming. When she flew over, she was chatting and laughing with Gao Xiaoqing non-stop. It was obvious that she was a lively person.

Gao Xiaoqing was not as talkative as she used to be, or perhaps it was because she only talked more when she was with Chen Mu, so she just nodded and smiled, listening quietly.

In fact, she was also very happy. After all, she had embroidered a second-level treasure robe for the first time, becoming a second-level weapon refiner to some extent, and had received many rewards from her master.

Such a young second-level weapon refiner, although limited to Taoist robes and precious clothes, is also a rare genius in the Fushan Mountains and is worthy of cultivation.

At this moment, Li Qingying was still immersed in joy, and said with an unsatisfied smile: "Sister, you don't know, the moment you succeeded, Senior Sister Liu's face turned blue. Haha... I laughed to death."

Gao Xiaoqing couldn't help laughing when she heard this. The Senior Sister Liu that Li Qingying mentioned was just like her, both of them were weapon refiners specializing in Taoist robes, but they had always been at odds with each other. In this master-disciple test, the results of the two were almost opposite, so it was no wonder that she was in a bad mood.

"Junior Sister Li, please be quiet. How can we make fun of you?"

Li Qingying curled her lips, but was quite obedient. She no longer mentioned Senior Sister Liu, but turned her eyes and said with a smile, "Good sister, let me see your second-level Taoist robe again so I can learn from it."

Gao Xiaoqing couldn't persuade her, so he could only wave his hand and take out the second-level Taoist robe.

The Taoist robe is also lake blue, but it is a man's robe, and it has a noble charm, which shows that a lot of effort was put into embroidering it.

Li Qingying smacked her lips in amazement. After turning it over and over for a moment, she suddenly smiled meaningfully and said, "Senior Sister Liu and the others all made it according to their own body shapes. But who did you make this for?"

Gao Xiaoqing avoided his gaze and said unhappily, "What do you care! Are you going to take a look or not? If not, give it back to me!"

Li Qingying wrinkled her nose and said proudly, "I know it even if you don't tell me. It was embroidered for Uncle Chen!" She mentioned Chen Mu subconsciously, with a look of admiration on her face.

Ten years ago, Chen Muyuan was in the Western Desert, fighting alone against nearly ten Jindan Zhenren and hundreds of foundation-building cultivators. Not only did he not fall into a disadvantage, but he defeated the opponents and lost.

When this matter was reported back to the Beiyuan sect, many disciples were excited and fascinated, and even some elders were very impressed.

Gao Xiaoqing looked at the flaming clouds ahead and couldn't help but wonder, "Senior Brother has been away for over ten years. I wonder how he's doing now."

She was lost in thought when two beams of light came rapidly from the distance. They turned and landed near the two of them.

The escaping light disappeared, revealing two young cultivators of similar stature, with extraordinary temperament, both in the Foundation Establishment stage.

The man on the left was quite handsome, and his second-level Taoist robe showed his noble status. His eyes were fixed on Gao Xiaoqing, and a look of fascination flashed across his face from time to time.

The one on the right is much inferior. Not only does he have an ordinary appearance, he is also dressed in ordinary disciple robes. Judging from his expression, he should be a follower of the previous person.

Li Qingying frowned slightly, not disguising her annoyance, and shouted, "Mr. Wu, why are you here again?"

Wu Jun ignored her, staring at Gao Xiaoqing and chuckled, saying, "I haven't congratulated Xiaoqing on becoming a second-level weapon refiner yet. I really shouldn't..."

Before he could finish his words, Gao Xiaoqing's face darkened and he said in a cold voice, "I hope you understand your own identity."

Wu Jun was startled, but he wasn't annoyed. Instead, he said more respectfully, "Congratulations, Senior Sister Gao, on your success. Would you be so kind as to let me celebrate for you?"

He had a respectful attitude, a handsome face, and a noble status. If it were someone else, they would have agreed without thinking.

But what kind of person is Gao Xiaoqing? He is no worse than her in appearance and even higher in status. How could he go against his own wishes?

"I appreciate your kindness, Junior Brother Wu. Please go back."

Wu Jun's attitude was very firm. He shook his head and sighed. Normally, he would have obeyed and retreated. But this time, for some reason, he felt inexplicably frustrated and asked with a frown:
"Gao Xiaoqing, don't you understand my feelings?"

Gao Xiaoqing was not moved at all and replied calmly: "It is precisely because I understand your feelings that I refuse to be with you in every possible way."

Li Qingying smiled appreciatively, then turned around and muttered, "You've heard it clearly this time. Sister Gao doesn't think highly of you. You'd better give up on that idea as soon as possible!"

Wu Jun's expression froze, and he snorted coldly, "When did I need you to point fingers at me about Gao Xiaoqing's affairs?"

Gao Xiaoqing's status was higher than his, but Li Qingying was on par with him. He was already resentful, and now it happened to be directed at her.

Li Qingying was a lively person, and she wasn't one to shy away from trouble. Upon hearing this, she immediately said coquettishly, "You're also a disciple of a True Person, a Foundation Establishment cultivator. You're quite famous in the outside world, so why are you so shameless?

Love between a man and a woman must be consensual. How can you get it by being unreasonable?"

Wu Jun was touched in a sore spot and became even angrier. He felt that Li Qingying was extremely annoying. If he had not been bewitched by her, Gao Xiaoqing might have already become his close friend.

"Li Qingying, you are so disrespectful to your master and elder brother. Today I will teach you a lesson!"

With a shout, Wu Jun said no more. He raised his sleeves and waved them, and a stream of flames instantly flew out. Then he pressed down fiercely, and this ball of brilliant firelight like fireworks fell on Li Qingying's head!
