Chapter 534 The Three Meet, Many Agreements?
"Huh?"

Even though he had expected it, Li Wushou was still somewhat surprised.

Why are these two sitting together drinking tea?
He hadn't even noticed the teahouse, or the town itself.

But when he descended into the Dragon Gate Valley, he sensed a familiar aura within the valley.

In the forest near the Three Immortals Mountain in Longmen Valley, there grows a blue lotus.

The blue lotus has a black stem and white flowers, with a lotus seedpod faintly visible in the center of the flower, exuding a natural and harmonious energy.

They almost fooled Li Wushou.

Li Wushou naturally knew where this aura came from, and he was also somewhat surprised that Wu Qinghe would appear here.

Didn't Scholar Wu say that Wu Qinghe had reached a critical juncture?
How could they bear to let Wu Qinghe go out?
Looking at the direction where the green lotus took root, it seemed that the other party was trying to block the path of the Blood Buddha.
It seems that Chen Gou'er ruined everything.

Nevertheless, it inexplicably improved Li Wushou's mood somewhat.

Following this wisp of energy, Li Wushou's mind descended upon this small town under the jurisdiction of Gejing City.

But he didn't expect that besides Wu Qinghe, there was another old acquaintance—Liu Qingmei.

After some time, this City God, who defied fate and returned to the path of immortality, has undergone a true spiritual transformation and achieved the status of a deity.

Although the aura of the true spirit is still weak, it barely reaches the threshold of the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm.

But Li Wushou sensed a unique aura within her true spirit.

Clearly, the opponent's true spiritual cultivation is quite good.

Moreover, although the other party's physical body appears to be made of flesh and blood, it shows no signs of life.

It might not even be her original form.

The true spirit dwells eternally, the body is like clothing.

This is also one of the signs that the true spirit has entered the inner sanctum.

When Liu Qingmei was the City God, she had cultivated a pure yang energy.

After becoming the Holy Maiden of the Porcelain Venerable lineage, she went from being a dying Yin spirit to regaining pure Yang. Under the symbiosis of Yin and Yang, her progress was so rapid that even Li Wushou took notice.

If there were more vitality within this physical body, the other party's cultivation at the Nascent Soul stage would probably be complete.

Although the "body" is clothing, it will also be revitalized when worn by one's own true spirit.

Even though the porcelain statue is made of porcelain, it is full of vitality, just like a living person.

Liu Qingmei is clearly still a bit lacking, but she's almost there!

Li Wushou was amazed and was about to calm himself down and head to the town.

But then a soft voice asked in my ear:
"What? Aren't you going to have a cup of tea?"

Turning his head slightly, a familiar figure flashed by in the mountain forest where the blue lotus was rooted, and the blue lotus also disappeared into the world as if it had never existed.

Li Wushou was somewhat surprised!
Wu Qinghe's philosophy and methods are perfectly integrated.

Even he found it somewhat unfathomable and unknowable; if Wu Qinghe hadn't spoken up herself, he wouldn't have even noticed her appearance.

He nodded slightly, a smile appearing on his face.

The stronger Wu Qinghe is, the better; how can she become an immortal if she's not strong?

Even Li Wushou was still not quite enough.

Even with his full concentration, he could still detect Wu Qinghe's slightest movement.

Although the lotus blossoms in the forest had faded, Wu Qinghe still retained a glimmer of light in her eyes.

Without hesitation, Li Wushou nodded in agreement:

"Come here!"

Small town, teahouse, private room.

Wu Qinghe and Liu Qingmei sat facing each other.

When we say we're drinking tea, we mean drinking tea.

The two exchanged very little, but most of their conversation revolved around Li Wushou.

But often, things are left unsaid, creating a somewhat strange atmosphere.

As a result, the tea in the private room was refilled twice without anyone noticing.

Seeing that the mysterious woman meant no harm, Liu Qingmei relaxed and began to consider how to respond to the Porcelain Venerable.

She was unaware of the details within Zhongtian Pass, and had little interest in the so-called legacy of the Sparrow Lord. She had already decided on her own path.

So from the very beginning, most of her attention was focused on the Three Immortals Mountain.

The purpose was to investigate the truth behind the loss of the Porcelain Venerable's true spirit in the Sealed Spirit Path.

Before she knew that Li Wushou was the Second Master of Sanxian Mountain, she planned to take advantage of the chaos in Sanxian Mountain to enter, capture a key figure, and interrogate him.

However, after it was confirmed that Li Wushou would take charge of the Three Immortals Mountain, this idea faded away.

She planned to push all the affairs onto the Great Lord Zhenhai!
After all, the current situation of the Sealed Spirit Path is entirely driven by it.

The woman before him knew him and Li Wushou, and was clearly from the Fubo Domain, so she must have some connection with the Great Venerable Zhenhai.

The other party invited me to have tea, and although they didn't make a move, it was as if they were trying to prevent me from entering the Three Immortals Mountain.

Therefore, it is reasonable to attribute the blame to the Great Lord Zhenhai.

Having made up her mind, Liu Qingmei prepared to get up and take her leave. The world was undergoing rapid changes, and many Nascent Soul cultivators were beginning to enter the world. She also needed to seize the time to cultivate.

But just as she set off, she heard Wu Qinghe whisper:

"Let's wait a little longer, Li Wushou is coming."

Liu Qingmei's expression shifted slightly, and she stopped moving again.

Just as Wu Qinghe finished speaking, there was a knock on the door of the private room.

"Boom boom boom!"

Liu Qingmei glanced at it casually, and suddenly her heart skipped a beat.

Standing outside the door, the figure in the green robe—who else could it be but Li Wushou? He's really here?!
If Li Wushou hadn't made the noise himself, he wouldn't have noticed a thing.

The progress of the high priest I've set my sights on is truly astonishing!

Although the woman before them was not in her true form, she had sensed Li Wushou's presence beforehand.

So strong!

I thought I had made rapid progress, but I never expected...
This left Liu Qingmei feeling puzzled.

While Liu Qingmei remained silent, Wu Qinghe softly instructed:

"come in!"

With a creak, Li Wushou pushed open the door and entered. He first glanced at the twins standing blankly behind Liu Qingmei, and then looked at the maid standing blankly behind Wu Qinghe without making a sound.

After gaining a general understanding of the current situation, Li Wushou first bowed to Liu Qingmei and greeted her:

"Lord Liu, we meet again."

Then he smiled at Wu Qinghe and said:
"Qinghe, it's been a long time."

After saying that, he didn't stand on ceremony and went to the table to pour himself a cup of tea.

Upon seeing this, Wu Qinghe inexplicably smiled, took a sip of tea, but did not reply.

Liu Qingmei composed herself and replied with a smile:

"I never expected to meet the High Priest here. Is the High Priest instructing me to seal the Spirit Path?"

Li Wushou drank a cup of tea and, without any hesitation, replied directly:

"With all matters concerning the Sealing Spirit Path settled, the Three Immortals Mountain will inherit the legacy of the Sparrow Lord and take charge of the Sealing Spirit Path."

Wu Qinghe remained expressionless, as if she already knew everything.

Liu Qingmei's expression changed upon hearing this!
Then it dawned on him that Li Wushou should have gone to Zhongtian Pass earlier.

So many top-tier Nascent Soul cultivators gathered at the Sealed Spirit Path to compete for the opportunity to become the new Venerable, but Li Wushou suddenly returned at this moment, saying that the fate of the Sealed Spirit Path had been decided.

Could it be?

He carefully examined Li Wushou, noticing that the other party's expression remained unchanged.

A storm raged in Liu Qingmei's heart.

Based on her understanding of Li Wushou, she knew he wouldn't make baseless accusations.

Since the other party said so, it must be true.

This shocked and saddened her.

Now that the other party is in charge of the Sealing Spirit Path, I'm afraid I really won't have the chance to recruit him as a High Priest.

After pondering for a long time, Liu Qingmei was still unsettled.

After a long pause, he slowly spoke:
"After our parting at Suspended Mountain, although I had long anticipated that the High Priest would ascend to immortality smoothly, I never expected that the High Priest would ascend to heaven in one step. I just wonder if the High Priest still remembers our promise?"

Upon hearing this, Wu Qinghe raised an eyebrow.

Li Wushou's expression also shifted slightly. He put down his teacup and asked with some confusion:

"Does the City God Liu want to settle this with me?"

Upon hearing Li Wushou's words, Liu Qingmei smiled.

It's good that Li Wushou still remembers the promise from last time.

In the blink of an eye, regaining her composure, Liu Qingmei solemnly replied:
"I am not here in my true form at this moment, so naturally I cannot determine a winner with the High Priest. I will visit the High Priest at the Sealing Spirit Path again when my true form emerges from seclusion."

Li Wushou nodded, thinking to himself, "Just as I thought."

Liu Qingmei was indeed not here in her true form.

Just as he was about to agree, he saw Liu Qingmei stand up and simultaneously transmit her voice:

“The Sealed Spirit Path was originally the designated place of the Immortal Mountain, but some unknown change occurred before, causing the true spirits of the Heavenly Venerable and the Master to be lost in the Sealed Spirit Path.”

I came here to investigate the truth behind what happened earlier.

Now that you have taken over the Sealing Spirit Path, I cannot linger any longer. However, you will inevitably be remembered by the Immortal Mountain in the future.

If possible, it is best not to aim for becoming a Venerable through the Sealing Spirit Path.

The two Venerable Ones of Immortal Mountain seem to possess some means that allow them to lock onto the Venerable One's Sacred Domain.

This is both a benefit and a calamity.

Be extremely careful in everything you do!

Liu Qingmei knew that since Li Wushou had already taken over Fenglingdao, it was impossible to persuade him to give up.

She had no position, nor any reason.

Put yourself in their shoes, who could resist such a great temptation and give up the spoils they had already devoured?

Therefore, he could only pass on what he knew to Li Wushou.

After speaking, Liu Qingmei cupped her hands in a respectful gesture towards Wu Qinghe.

He turned around, put away the twin middle-aged men who had been suppressed by Wu Qinghe, and disappeared into the teahouse with one step.

Li Wushou raised his hand, seemingly wanting to say something but then stopping himself.

Seeing this, Wu Qinghe asked:

"What's wrong? Are you a little reluctant to part with it?"

The voice was slightly clearer, a far cry from the gentleness of before.

Li Wushou, however, seemed oblivious, and with a touch of melancholy, he lowered his hand and sighed:
"I was thinking of keeping those twins to study them; they're quite interesting. What a pity."

Wu Qinghe paused upon hearing this, staring at Li Wushou for a moment.

Then a smile suddenly bloomed on her face, and she asked meaningfully:

"You seem to have a lot of commitments?"
