The Wandering Immortal

Chapter 108 Guan Miaogu

Jiang Yuan and Cui Qinghe returned to Silla in an underwater boat.

Cui Qinghe recalled that earlier, the immoral master had been crying and laughing on the underwater stone platform, acting like a madman. She seemed to have guessed something and was about to ask when she saw Jiang Yuan looking dazed.

Jiang Yuan was secretly wondering to himself, since Qinghe had a connection with Buddhism, why did she form a marriage with him? Could it be that the matter of taking the place of the Heavenly River Water Lord in his previous life was also related to Buddhism?
Cui Qinghe couldn't help but ask, "Did I steal the opportunity from the wicked master?"

Jiang Yuan snapped out of his daze. "What? Neither he nor I can see the Sal Tree, so the opportunity should naturally be yours."

"Then why is the master so heartbroken?"

“Master, you have probably been searching for that mustard seed space for quite some time. It is a sacred space left behind by a true Buddha in the human world, with countless opportunities within. If the fruits of the twin Sal trees were still intact, that mustard seed space would not have collapsed. But you just happened to obtain it, and the sacred space has been destroyed. Anyone would be heartbroken.”

Qinghe then realized that the lotus seed she had obtained was actually a true Buddhist fruit.

"I have obtained another golden lotus in my sea of ​​consciousness, but I do not know what its wondrous uses are?"

"Ignore the central lotus pond and simply set up an illusion array around it for concealment."

Jiang Yuan spoke lightly, but his mind was in turmoil. He had planned out Cui Qinghe's cultivation path to advance to the Nascent Soul stage and even the Deity Transformation stage, but now he had to rethink whether or not to interfere with her cultivation path.
The unscrupulous master just ran off like that, acting crazy, and no one knows how to contact him. If Qinghe wants to practice Buddhist techniques, she certainly can't do it without guidance.

Buddhism differs from Taoism; it doesn't follow the path of spiritual roots and acupoints at all. What it seeks is wisdom and enlightenment, which cannot be guided by oneself.

The two returned to the underwater cave in Silla, but Shen Wangzhi and Liu Caiwei had not yet returned.

Li Shouzhong did go out once and said that Luofu Mountain and Qingcheng Mountain had stopped fighting, and that Luofu Mountain's young master Chu Yunfei and Taiyi Sect's Qin Feihong had held a grand dual cultivation ceremony, which was so grand that even Qingcheng Mountain sent people to send gifts.

Cui Qinghe and Jiang Yuan exchanged a smile; it had actually come true.

"Chu Yunfei said that if Junior Sister Cui Qinghe wants to return to Luofu Mountain or establish a sect in the Central Plains, Luofu Mountain will definitely support her."

Qinghe glanced at Jiang Yuan without realizing it.

Jiang Yuan said, "We're lucky to have this place. If we really show ourselves, we'll be in endless trouble. Let alone establish a sect in the Central Plains. We can't withstand a single sword strike from that old Nascent Soul cultivator."

Li Shouzhong understood that if the Nascent Soul Elder could travel thousands of miles on a sword, every small sect would be terrified.

Jiang Yuan returned to his cave dwelling and took out the sixteen-slot belt to play with. The belt itself was made of dragon skin, which was at least at the Nascent Soul level.

The sixteen jade pendants inlaid on it are all spatial magic treasures, and the fourteen jade pendants in the middle each have a space of one li.

The belt is ingeniously designed; when tied around the waist, the jade pendants at both ends will automatically snap together and lock in place.

Moreover, these two pieces of jade are clearly different in texture. Both are capable of holding living things, and each has a small space of seventy or eighty li inside.

Even with the strength of a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, this is the largest spatial magic treasure one can refine.

Jiang Yuan couldn't help but sigh. The Buddhist sect's use of the mustard seed space was indeed unique. With this treasure, he could take his cave dwelling with him and wander around.

Jiang Yuan quickly refined the belt to recognize its master, and added a restriction to each jade pendant individually. The two small mustard seed spaces, in particular, required more time to refine, and a void gate also needed to be created.

It took Jiang Yuan a full half month to complete the refining of the entire belt.

When Qinghe arrived at Jiangyuan's room, she was astonished to find a portal in the void.

After finding out the truth, Qinghe realized that the treasure she had obtained in Xinshi was so magical that she regretted it for a long time.

Jiang Yuan set up an array in the room, then moved the living soul-nourishing wood to a mustard seed space and planted it, still maintaining it with a wood-type array.

Qinghe flew around the small space and was overjoyed. This space was big enough to build a house, and the little golden eagle could be freed up here. She could also bring in some small monsters to hunt and play with.

Jiang Yuan released the ghost infant. The child hadn't grown much and still looked about three years old, but its soul was complete and it had developed intelligence, so it should be able to cultivate.

Qinghe looked at the child and realized that he no longer resembled a ghost infant. His body was very sculpted, but he still had a somewhat eerie and ghostly aura.

After the little imp came out, she looked around. She naturally remembered the two people, but she had never seen the golden eagle flying in the sky before. She pointed at it and asked, "Can I eat it?"

Jiang Yuan laughed and said, "All you ever think about is eating?"

Qinghe felt a pang of pity. "What could she possibly know? She wasn't even born yet... and she was locked in that well for decades!"

Jiang Yuan squatted down and said to the little devil, "Do you want to become my disciple?"

The kid tilted his head, "What are the benefits?"

"There's good food to eat!" "Really? Then I'll pray, I'll pray!"

“I’ve given you a name, Guan Miaogu.”

Qinghe felt heartbroken upon hearing the name. This child was supposed to be Guan Canghai's aunt, but unfortunately, the baby died in the womb.

Jiang Yuan raised his hand and sent the three golden characters "Guan Miaogu" into the little ghost's sea of ​​consciousness, thus completing her destiny.

Guan Miaogu changed immediately after receiving her name; her soul and body seemed to become more solid.

"This name is only known to the three of us; we can't tell anyone else. Normally, I just call you Miaomiao!"

The ghostly body is similar to that of a demonic beast. If its true name is known, it can be dealt with using certain methods, so it's best to be careful.

"Miaomiao understands!"

Jiang Yuan saw that Miao Miao was almost at the eighth level of Qi Refining. She had never cultivated any Daoist arts, yet she had already opened her sea of ​​consciousness. That made things very simple.

I compiled some books and introductory exercises, and then sent that information directly into Miaomiao's sea of ​​consciousness.

Of course, Miaomiao's soul was still bound by restrictions, and she could not leave this small space without Jiang Yuan's permission.

"First, finish reading the books and techniques your master just gave you. If you get tired, go rest in this tree. That little golden eagle is your junior sister. You can't eat her, but you can play with her."

Miaomiao nodded. "Can I play with her now?"

"can!"

With Jiang Yuan's permission, Miao Miao flew away in a flash. The little golden eagle screamed in fright and tried desperately to escape, but it couldn't shake off the entanglement no matter what it did.

Qinghe was initially a little worried, but seeing that Miaomiao was just standing on the back of the golden eagle and didn't do anything to her.

"When will this little golden eagle finally get it?"

"If this little golden eagle were in the wild, it would take at least a hundred years for it to develop intelligence. How long have you been raising it?"

"At what age can one transform into human form?"

"I think she'll get it soon, and having Miaomiao play with her will speed things up. However, she needs to be at least level two before she can transform into human form. Before that, she needs to interact with people more and learn some rules and etiquette, otherwise she'll turn into a hairy monster and never be able to change."

Qinghe looked around the Soul-Nourishing Tree. It was a beautiful meadow with thick, fertile soil. She thought it would be good to cultivate a medicinal garden here, so that she would never be struck by lightning again.

Seeing that Miaomiao was tormenting the little golden eagle, Qinghe simply took the little golden eagle away and let Miaomiao go to read and comprehend the cultivation techniques on her own.

Miaomiao then retorted, "You've finished reading all the books!"

Indeed, anything sent directly into her consciousness was read as soon as she received it!

Jiang Yuan put on a stern face, "Then study the cultivation method and practice the spells. I will come to check on you tomorrow."

After the two left the small space and closed the void gate, Jiang Yuan opened another small space. When Qinghe entered, she found that there was already a house inside, although it was very simple.

Given Cui Qinghe's personality, she was bound to tidy it up. An hour later, the house had become several times larger, with all the necessary functions.

Jiang Yuan could only wait for her to finish her work before meditating in the training room by himself.

As soon as Qinghe sat down, Jiang Yuan pushed her down.

"What are you doing, my lord?"

Jiang Yuan grinned mischievously, "My husband built this house so that we could easily practice our dual cultivation."

Qinghe suddenly remembered that when she was comprehending the Dao under the twin Sala trees, she reenacted everything she had experienced in that mustard seed space.

She unexpectedly discovered that the numerous scenes of men and women that nearly drove her to the brink of collapse were actually a dual cultivation technique called something like Yoga Sutras.

Jiang Yuan had just removed all the restraints when he discovered that Qing He, though blushing, was radiating a Buddha-like aura. The lotus seed mark between her eyebrows had blossomed into a golden lotus flower, making her look exactly like a female Bodhisattva.

Jiang Yuan wanted to get up and kowtow to Qing He, but it was too late; his waist was firmly locked by a pair of long legs.
