My cultivation is too warm

Chapter 231 I am getting old (4000 more at night)

Everyone present offered their congratulations to Ou Fenjin for winning first place in the cooking competition, including his two opponents, Xu Mo and Yun Nian Daozun.

Then Ou Fenjin enjoyed the most glorious moment of his strange life.

The leader of the Canggu Taoist Alliance, Xuancang Daozun, personally awarded him a commemorative medal to prove his extraordinary cooking skills.

Of course, since this competition is not a formal competition, this medal is naturally not a formal medal. It can only be said that its commemorative significance is greater than its practical significance.

But for Ou Fenjin, none of this matters. If this medal was awarded to him by the main god of the weird clan, he might not care at all.

However, the meaning of it being awarded by the leader of the Cang Gu Dao Alliance himself is naturally different. It represents that he has gained recognition from human beings, which is the most important thing.

Ou Fenjin's eyes were filled with tears. All his efforts had finally paid off. From then on, he was completely integrated into the human world.

Even though it is still a strange body, it cannot change the fact that it is a member of the human world.

It’s great! Meeting Master Wuyou Lingnong is indeed the greatest luck in my life.

While Ou Fenjin was enjoying the blessings of others, Xu Mo brought the dishes he had cooked to Hanyi Daozun, the younger sister of Deacon Fang.

Then he found that Taoist Han Yi was doing the same thing at this time. She was also walking towards him with the food she had made.

For Xu Mo, losing to Ou Fenjin was a bit depressing, but it didn't matter, after all, Ou Fenjin was his pet.

If your pet receives an honor, isn’t it your own honor if you round it up?
So the real winner behind this competition is still myself. It really is me. That’s awesome.

As soon as this thought came to his mind, he was suddenly stunned. He didn't know if it was his illusion. It seemed that he felt that he was getting better and better recently. What was going on?

He obviously hadn't thought this way before, but he didn't think too much about it. Thinking about it carefully, he was actually so great. It was just that he was too cowardly before and had been suppressing his own thoughts. Now he just relaxed and expressed it naturally.

This is the power of "The Great Record of Love". It can subtly influence a person's thinking and make that person not realize that it is a problem with the practice.

After Xu Mo discarded the distracting thoughts in his mind, he didn't think about it anymore. After all, his purpose this time was just to cook a meal for Deacon Fang's family personally. As long as this goal was achieved, it would be fine.

It's a pity that there was no counterattack, but things have come to this point and cannot be changed.

Taoist Master Hanyi had similar ideas. She just wanted to cook a meal for the descendants of Wuyou Lingnong who accompanied her brother in his last moments of his life. Winning or losing didn't matter.

Then Xu Mo and Taoist Han Yi exchanged the food in each other's hands.

In fact, whether it is Xu Mo or Han Yi Dao Zun, what they want more is to eat the food made by Ou Fenjin. After all, there are better foods around them, so why should they eat these inferior foods?
What's more, the dishes made by Ou Fenjin are not just a little bit delicious, but they are so delicious that they break the upper limit of food, which really makes people salivate.

But they both knew each other's feelings, and no matter how greedy they were, they could only silently pick up the food brought by the other and start eating.

At this moment, both Xu Mo and Taoist Han Yi felt that something was not right. They clearly wanted to get rid of something on their mind, so why did they feel a little melancholy?

How did it become like this? I feel like I was forced to go through the process, which is so awkward.

This is completely different from what I imagined.

Xu Mo and Daoist Master Han Yi ate the dishes in their hands with a confused and melancholy look on their faces. After looking up and looking at each other, they each forced a smile on their faces and praised the other, "It's delicious. Your cooking skills are really good."

Then the two of them lowered their heads. This was probably the most hypocritical day in their lives. Even when Wuyou Lingnong's alias left the stage, Xu Mo did not feel that he was so hypocritical.

On the other side, Taoist Yun Nian walked towards Lin Miaoqing with a very attentive look on his face, bringing the food he had made.

"Fairy Miaoqing, come here and try my cooking." He handed over the dish in his hand with a kind and doting look on his face.

Lin Miaoqing took a look at the food he was carrying, and a conflicted look suddenly appeared on her soft little face. She bit her lower lip and hesitated for a moment before saying, "But I'd rather eat what my junior brother made."

When Daoist Master Yun Nian heard this, he was instantly petrified.

He suddenly felt so uncomfortable and confused. The adults refused to eat what he cooked. Was she blaming him for coming too late? Or was she dissatisfied with his cooking?

Then he suddenly felt so empty inside, his existence seemed to have lost its meaning. Does this world still need him?

Lin Miaoqing saw Daoist Master Yun Nian frozen in place. After hesitating for a moment, he reached out and carefully took the dish from him, saying politely, "Thank you, senior."

After seeing this scene, Taoist Yun Nian was so moved that he felt like crying. It turned out that the adults were still so considerate and understanding.

She obviously wanted to eat the food made by her junior brother more, but after realizing her mood, he still took her food to make her happy. This is the way of heaven in their Xianqing world. It is so kind at all times.

Daoist Master Yun Nian silently turned his head, wiped his eyes, then waved his fist and shouted to himself in his heart: "Miao Qing is loyal!"

His existence became meaningful again. From now on, he would silently protect the growth of Fairy Miaoqing for the rest of his life, watching her grow up, get married and have children, grow up carefree and happy, and then once again stand at the pinnacle of the heavens and the worlds.

Then this cooking competition ended in such a weird atmosphere. The only winner was the weird Ou Fenjin. The disciples of Wuyou Peak called him "Uncle Ou" and he couldn't stop laughing.

After the people at the scene dispersed, Taoist Zixiao led everyone to find Taoist Ye again.

This time, Ye Laodao was able to go out, but when everyone asked him to escort them to the Xianqing world, he seemed a little reluctant.

In his words, Xu Mo and Lin Miaoqing, his two disciples, did not know how to respect their teacher at all. He had accepted them as his disciples for so long, but they did not even come to ask him for advice.

This left him with no sense of accomplishment as a master.

However, having said that, he did not refuse. He reluctantly stretched out his hands and made a few magic seals. Then Xu Mo felt dizzy, and in a few breaths, the scene in front of him changed.

When Xu Mo saw the world clearly, he was stunned for a moment. Because the sky here was not blue. It had no fixed color. It changed colors every once in a while, red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple...

But no matter how the color of the sky changes, the only color missing is the blue that truly suits it.

The plants here are not green either. They are also colorful, but they lack the green color that really suits them.

Seeing this scene, Xu Mo was stunned for a moment. He felt a little strange. Wasn’t it said that only the people in the Xianqing world couldn’t distinguish colors?
Why does it feel like the laws of heaven and earth here are also color blind?

While he was stunned, Ye Laodao beside him coughed and said seriously: "Ahem, remember this, kid, in this world, never mention the word 'color'."

Just as he finished speaking, a black lightning suddenly fell on his head, turning his already messy hair into a big afro.

Taoist Ye, who was struck by lightning, screamed strangely, then pointed his finger at the sky and cursed angrily, "No, I'm just teaching my disciple. I didn't say anything. Why are you trying to strike me? Is that unreasonable?"

He was responded by a rumble of thunder, and the thunderclouds in the sky were ready to strike.

Seeing this scene, Ye Laodao immediately cursed in dissatisfaction: "If you hit me again, I will curse you."

Before he could finish his words, another bolt of lightning struck him.

Ye Laodao was immediately furious and opened his mouth to curse, but Zixiao Daozun stopped him in time, "You're afraid of snakes, that's enough. You know the situation here, so why are you so angry?"

Taoist Ye threw his hands and said indignantly, "Xianqing is being unreasonable. I didn't do anything, but she struck me. Tell me, isn't she being too overbearing? Even protecting one's own child has its limits."

"Ahem." At this time, Taoist Yun Nian coughed lightly, raised his hands and made a Taoist seal towards Taoist Ye, and said in a serious tone, "Fellow Daoist Ye, please be careful with your words."

Ye Laodao curled his lips when he heard this, then turned around sullenly, "Just do your own thing, don't bother me, just call me when you go back."

Xu Mo listened to the conversation, bewildered. What had he just heard? "Xianqing?" Wasn't Senior Sister here? Why was there another one here? Or was he wrong? Was Senior Sister not the former Xianqing Tiandao?
But this doesn't seem right. Judging from the reactions of Daoist Yun Nian and the others, it is obvious that his guess is not wrong. Senior Sister must be the Heavenly Dao of the former Xianqing World.

So what's going on here?

However, he did realize one thing. He finally understood what "protecting one's children" meant when Taoist Zixiao told him about the Xianqing world.

It turns out that here, if you even point out the faults of this world, you will be struck by lightning?

Does this mean that in the former Xianqing world, as long as outsiders came in, they would be watched by the Heavenly Dao, and then anyone who came in and dared to conflict with the people in the Xianqing world or curse them would be struck by lightning?
Whenever Xu Mo thought of this scene, he suddenly felt uncomfortable all over. Just imagine, if he entered such a world and was being watched all the time, would he dare not be honest?
No wonder Zixiao Daozun expressed such resentment when he talked about these things. Who could stand this? Is it possible to have a normal conversation?

Then his eyes fell on his senior sister. He had never thought that his former senior sister would be like this... Uh? Heaven's way.

Then he noticed that Lin Miaoqing seemed to be in a strange state. She stared blankly at the world in front of her, with an expression of uncontrollable sadness.

Then she silently looked at Daoist Master Yunnian and Daoist Master Hanyi beside her, lowered her head and asked, "Is it uncomfortable to live in such a world?"

Xu Mo was stunned when he heard this, and then asked curiously: "Senior Sister, have you remembered anything?"

Lin Miaoqing shook her head. "No, I just feel that the people here are so pitiful."

Taoist Master Yun Nian beside him shook his head vigorously. "It's not uncomfortable at all. We are very happy here, really."

After saying that, he looked at Xu Mo again and took the initiative to explain the situation in the Xianqing World to him, saying: "What you see now is the part of the origin that the adults once separated. It has no consciousness, but it has been silently following its instincts to protect us. So if you say something bad about us here, or do something unfriendly, you will be punished."

He then sighed again, his expression somewhat complicated as he continued, "Because of us, the laws of nature here have also lost their ability to distinguish colors, which is why you see this. Ah, of course, we actually look quite normal, but you outsiders might find it a little strange."

So that's how it is. Xu Mo nodded in sudden realization.

At this time, Daoist Master Yun Nian said excitedly, "Wait here for a moment. I'll go tell everyone... uh, the news of Fairy Miaoqing's return. I don't want to cause a commotion, so I'll make some arrangements first."

After saying this, he nodded to Xu Mo and the others, then hurried away with Taoist Han Yi.

After he left, Lin Miaoqing quietly leaned over to Xu Mo, grabbed his hand, raised her head, and called out with a somewhat uneasy look, "Junior Brother."

Seeing this, Xu Mo smiled at her and said comfortingly: "Senior Sister, it's okay."

About an hour later, Daoist Master Yun Nian came back and said, "Everything has been arranged. Everyone, please follow me."

As he spoke, he led everyone to a mountain that towered into the clouds.

The inside of the mountain was hollowed out, and the layout looked similar to that of an ordinary building, but most of the things were made of stone.

Seeing this scene, Xu Mo was stunned for a moment. Everyone said that the Xianqing world was difficult, but he didn't expect it to be so difficult. This was the style of primitive society.

But it was obvious that he had misunderstood. After seeing his reaction, Daoist Master Yun Nian probably guessed what he was thinking and explained with a smile:

"We in Xianqing admire nature and antiquity, so generally people of status live in the mountains, while ordinary people build houses just like in your ancient world."

Xu Mo smiled awkwardly when he heard this. So that's how it is.

As they entered the mountains, they heard a scolding voice: "You useless things, haven't I told you all before? No matter what, you must not shed tears. Laugh loudly, otherwise, if Fairy Miaoqing sees us, she will think we are not doing well."

As soon as the man finished speaking, a choked voice weakly replied, "But, Great Elder, you only talked about us, but didn't you shed tears yourself?"

The previous voice stubbornly retorted, "How can that be the same? I'm an elderly man, so it's normal and understandable for me to be sentimental. But you're different. You're young people, full of sunshine and energy. How can you shed tears?"
