Chapter 148 Kanli Hehuan
Inside the Welcoming Gods Pavilion.

Having anticipated Lu Dai's question, Su Xintang shook her head and said, "The true gods may not believe it, but this disciple truly does not know the whereabouts of Immortal Meng. He comes and goes without a trace, and is difficult to fathom."

"Does he have a special escape technique?"

“Yes.” Su Xintang did not deny it.

The reason she didn't deny it was simple: Meng Bai had emphasized to her that Lu Dai had used her divine sense to watch the two of them, and that the "black protective armor" was destroyed by Lu Dai's gaze last time.

In this situation, it's better to admit it than to deny it.

"If I asked you where he took you, you probably wouldn't tell, would you?"

"I'm willing to talk about it, but the problem is that once he activates his teleportation technique, he can travel tens of thousands of miles, going to places all over the country, and most of the disciples don't recognize him."

In some places, even the disciples weren't sure if they still existed. They'd only get a distant glimpse of the exotic flowers and plants before moving on to another location. The disciples truly didn't know how to describe it.

Shifting thousands of miles?

Lu Dai narrowed her eyes. The old man was at least a flawless true immortal in his lifetime.

With her thoughts racing, Lu Dai chuckled and said, "No wonder the 'Salvation Spirit's Precious Proclamation' says that you travel the four directions in spirit and create all kinds of herbs. So that's how it is."

"I apologize for making this a laughing stock of you, sir."

Where is your fiefdom located?

"The land of the broken dam, the Crimson Violet Mountains." Su Xintang answered honestly. There was no point in hiding it. Twenty-eight days later, when the Dream Realm opened, all the Heavenly Spirits would be able to see it in the Precious Proclamation.

"Broken dam?" Lu Dai raised an eyebrow.

"Correct."

"Then you'd better find another place to go as soon as possible. Two years ago, a two-wheeled plague demon suddenly appeared in Poyan, leading an adult stag beetle to wreak havoc everywhere. Now the land is barren and plague is rampant."

I heard from Cui Ying that of the thirteen spirits who broke the dam, eleven escaped. Some came to my Yu Kingdom, some went to Mao Kingdom and Feng Kingdom, leaving only two to hold the line there.”

Upon hearing this, Su Xintang frowned immediately.

The so-called two plague demons are two spirits who are caught in the mystery of all living beings. After losing themselves, they evolved plague attributes and became disaster gods.

Such a calamity god, in terms of combat power alone, is almost on par with a three-stage spirit god. With Su Xintang's strength as a one-stage spirit god, she is completely unable to contend with it.

This is similar to the huge difference between the early and late stages of Core Formation in traditional cultivation novels.

As for the Bibi, also known as the Bihu, it is an ancient mythical beast like the Yuhui, which resembles a fox and has thin wings on its back.

Adult stags possess strength approaching that of a first-order spirit god. Legend has it that their innate supernatural power is called "Red Drought," which can instantly drain all the moisture from an enemy's body, turning them into a dried-up corpse and causing them to die.

Whether the rumor is true or not, Su Xintang doesn't know.

But one thing she was certain of was that if an adult stag beetle did not restrain itself, wherever it went, the vegetation would wither and die.

With a drought beast and a plague god together, how could the broken dam be any better?
Thinking of this, Su Xintang sincerely said, "Thank you for informing me of such important information, God."

"From what you're saying, you're still planning to break the dam?" Lu Dai asked with a smile.

Su Xintang did not reply. Heaven had already bestowed upon her the title of "savior from suffering," so how could she choose not to go?
Of course, this matter needs to be discussed with Meng Bai before a decision is made.

Seeing that Su Xintang remained silent, Lu Dai deliberately said, "That's true. You have a true immortal protecting you, so what are two demons?"

Without waiting for a reply, Lu Dai brought the topic back: "Can you get in touch with Meng Bai?"

“I can’t get in touch with him; he’s usually the one who comes to me.” Su Xintang shook her head.

"What exactly is your relationship? Master and disciple, or... are you his Daoist partner?"

"It's hard to say," Su Xintang shook her head.

She couldn't let others think she was important to Meng Bai, because if she did, there might be someone scheming who would use her to blackmail Meng Bai.

But she couldn't pretend that she had nothing to do with Meng Bai; that wouldn't make sense either.

Therefore, the only option is to remain vague.

Lu Dai didn't press further, but simply said, "If you can get in touch with him, please let him know. I'd like to talk to him."

Upon hearing this, Su Xintang, who had been holding back for a long time, couldn't help but say, "Immortal Meng told his disciple that the righteous god had made a vow with him never to see each other again."

"What oath? Where is there an oath? It was all just a joke before, it doesn't count." Lu Dai said seriously, without blushing at all.

Seeing this, Su Xintang wasn't too surprised. She tentatively asked, "May I ask, what brings the True Immortal Meng to the righteous realm? Could it be that you want him to teach a few spirit gods for the Lu family?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Dai paced back and forth a few steps.

Then he spoke up: "I only know that there is no such thing as a free lunch in this world. He is raising a spirit god for my Lu family. I'm afraid he will have to exchange my elder brother's divine body for it. How can that be allowed?"
Moreover, as long as the members of my Lu family can descend to the mortal realm to serve as sacrificial attendants, I have my own ways to increase their chances of becoming gods. If they can't even secure a sacrificial audience, they are not worthy of becoming gods.

"So the righteous god sought out Meng Bai for something else?"

“That’s right, Su girl. You’ve been close to Xi Qing since childhood. Do you know that she was born with a congenital defect? ​​Xi Qing has a completely leaky body, which is why she needs to eat a lot every day to maintain her cultivation. If she doesn’t eat for a day, her cultivation will decline.”

Goodness, this is the first time Su Xintang has ever heard of this kind of constitution.

Meng Bai hadn't discussed such gossip with her before, much less mentioned Lu Dai's desire for primordial yang energy. He felt it was strange to talk about it.

Lu Dai continued, "To replenish his physique, he needs the primordial yang energy of a flawless true immortal."

"Does Your Excellency mean that Meng Bai possesses the primordial yang energy of a flawless true immortal?" Su Xintang asked, feigning ignorance.

“Whether he is or not, you know better than I do,” Lu Dai retorted tentatively.

"I really didn't know. I'm not afraid of being laughed at by the gods, but Meng Bai never showed me his true form. When I first met him, he was a dead soul. Later, Xi Qing gave me a Yin Spirit Soul, and that's when he took that soul as his body."

The highest level of lying is to be nine parts truth and one part falsehood.

What Su Xintang said was exactly the same as what Lu Dai knew.

Therefore, upon hearing Su Xintang's words, she smiled and said, "I'm afraid it's not that he doesn't want to see you in his true form, but rather that he no longer has a body. So, he definitely doesn't have any vital energy."

However, as a fellow True Immortal, he must know other True Immortals. True Immortals without flaws are hard to find, but even the primordial yang of a Spirit Controlling True Immortal would suffice. I mentioned this to him last time, but he declined with an excuse. This time, if you see him, please inform him. I am willing to offer a generous gift, only asking that he introduce me to a complete True Immortal, regardless of their realm.

A true immortal's primordial yang has been a path for sixty years. As long as you can contact a true immortal, you will definitely be able to wait for primordial yang.

Upon hearing this, Su Xintang fell into thought.

A complete True Immortal?
Barring any unforeseen circumstances, Meng Bai will become a complete True Immortal within the next day or two.

As expected, he hadn't been wrong. Once Meng Bai became an immortal, his vital essence would definitely be targeted.

So she continued to probe, "If I remember correctly, Xi Qing needs to cultivate with a True Immortal to obtain this Primordial Yang Qi, right?"

"That's right. True immortals need to enter a meditative state while lying down. Xi Qing sits cross-legged on top and uses a secret method to circulate her Qi. She then uses the art of dual cultivation to extract the primordial Yang, swallow it, and then refine it using a secret method. Only then will it be effective."

Upon hearing this, Su Xintang found it amusing.

She knew that Meng Bai would absolutely not agree to that, given his personality.

Because this method would only make Meng Bai feel like he was a tool, a gigolo.

However, dual cultivation is a form of spiritual practice, and it cannot be accomplished simply by engaging in marital relations like ordinary people.

If that's the case, then what disadvantage would a person with higher cultivation level suffer from dual cultivation with someone with lower cultivation level?

The disadvantage lies in the fact that during dual cultivation, the yin and yang essences flow downwards like water.

Only when their levels of understanding are equal can they achieve complete integration.

Seeing her deep in thought, Lu Dai suddenly had a flash of inspiration. With a wave of her hand, a jade scroll floated between her and Su Xintang.

She smiled and said, "This is the 'Kan-Li He Yuan Sheng Sheng Jue' (The Secret of the Harmony of Kan and Li), which I obtained by chance three hundred years ago. Kan water is Yin and Li fire is Yang. The harmony of Yin and Yang creates endless life. It is a superior dual cultivation secret method. I don't need it, so I'm giving it to you."

Looking at the jade scroll, Su Xintang didn't know whether to accept it or not.

"Are you worried that there's something wrong with the cultivation technique I gave you?"

"Not really."

"Don't worry, although I have no taboos in my actions, I never lie about such things. I haven't tampered with this technique."

"In that case, I thank the righteous god for transmitting the Dharma." Su Xintang took the jade scroll in her hand.

"If you can persuade Meng Bai to introduce you to a true immortal, I will give you thirty-six thunder swords and the Heavenly Gang Divine Thunder Sword Formation Diagram. With this formation, you will have a much better chance of winning against that plague demon."

"I'm not confident I can persuade him, but I can only give it a try," Su Xintang said evasively.

"In that case, I'll have to trouble you," Lu Dai said seriously. She really liked Lu Xiqing.

"I wouldn't dare," Su Xintang quickly returned the greeting. "It's nothing, I'll take my leave now."

"Take some spiritual food back for that little jade snake to eat."

"Thank you." Su Xintang did not refuse.

After exchanging a few more pleasantries, Su Xintang took her leave.

When they left, the Lu family still sent a palanquin to see them off. Fifteen more boxes containing a total of two thousand catties of spiritual food were placed beside the palanquin, carried by strongmen.

However, Lu Xiqing did not come along this time.

Standing inside the Welcoming Gods Pavilion, she asked worriedly, "Grand Aunt, will Meng Bai help us?"

"I don't know. The old man is full of schemes. Even if he helps, he probably has an ulterior motive. But it doesn't matter. If you can improve your overall physique and achieve something in the future, you can recoup all your losses."

Hearing this, Lu Xiqing nodded.

After a moment, she said somewhat absentmindedly, "If there really is a true immortal willing, I..."

"What, are you worried that the immortal who comes will be too ugly?" Lu Dai teased.

"A true immortal would be ugly? Meng Bai is handsome and refined, a pleasure to behold. Shouldn't all true immortals be like him?" Lu Xiqing asked, puzzled.

"That depends on whether one practices righteous or evil methods. Practicing righteous methods naturally results in an ethereal and otherworldly appearance. If one practices evil methods, then one's appearance can be bizarre and unforgettable."

"..." Lu Xiqing's heart sank. What does "unforgettable" mean?

"Appearance is just a shell, why care about it? Look at Su Xintang, now I have to use a palanquin to pick her up. Becoming a god is the priority for you."

"Hmm~" Lu Xiqing nodded sullenly.

Seeing this, Lu Dai teased, "Are you thinking that it would be great if a true immortal like Meng Bai came?"

Lu Xiqing smiled awkwardly, though she wouldn't admit it, she did have that intention.

After all, if that day really comes, it will be my first time practicing dual cultivation with someone, and I always hope for a better first time.

"But the reality is, there's no guarantee that a true immortal will come. Xi Qing, one must never try to take advantage before gaining anything. Meng Bai's physical body has been lost for countless years; don't count on it."

"If he had virginity, I would have already grabbed him and pinned him to your bed. Unfortunately, he doesn't, and he never will." Lu Dai said, sounding somewhat disappointed.

Meanwhile, on the other side of Earth, Meng Bai had just gotten off the plane.

On my way to my hometown.

Instead of flying back, he forced his Yin Spirit out of his body and returned to his mortal state.

After the Yin Spirit Soul was forced out, his appearance began to decline slowly, gradually becoming less exaggerated than before.

He hailed a taxi and embarked on that familiar road home.

He knew that this was most likely the last time he would experience the life of a mortal.

The Spirit-Controlling True Immortal Dao Fruit within his sea of ​​consciousness was fully ripe, radiating a profound Daoist charm that made one's mouth water.
