Fairy, don't try to mess with my filial piety

"Can you put on the jade pendant and give it to me?"

"...Wu Ji, do you know who I am?"

Ning Xianzhi was stunned, as if she had received some secret signal. She looked at Chu Wuji's eyes suspiciously, and got a confirmed answer from his eyes.

"I know. The one who claimed to have lost his memory and pretended to be my mother, Bai Sujin..."

"Cough cough."

The fairy woman's face was extremely beautiful, like a flower on a high mountain that was oblivious to the hustle and bustle of the world. But at this moment, she was so ashamed that she wanted to fold her petals to hide the embarrassment that she could not suppress.

Many doubts flashed through Ning Xianzhi's mind. Could it be that the green snake told him later? But why didn't Wuji question me angrily just now, and was willing to call me mother?

"You, really know everything?"

"Aunt Qing Snake said that you were the female ghost who kidnapped people. Bai Sujin doesn't even know you. There's no such thing as an 'old friend' relationship."

When Chu Wuji was halfway through his speech, Ning Xianzhi had already shown signs of escaping. Her crystal-clear ears had turned completely red, as if blood could drip out. The moment the cold and beautiful woman raised her hips and stood up, Chu Wuji hugged her and slowly pulled Ning Xianzhi into his arms.

"I'm not angry. I was just surprised when I learned the truth, but even more so, I was flattered. I never dared to imagine that a master from the Immortal Family, who is also the elder who dominates a peak, would actually care about me like this!"

Hearing this, Ning Xianzhi's tense body slowly relaxed, and her slender, white and smooth hands like mutton-fat jade embraced Chu Wuzhi's straight back.

"Why wouldn't you be angry? At that time, I tried every possible way to coax you into going up the mountain to practice cultivation. I barely spoke the truth..."

"Because at that time, the awakening of your amnesiac mother was a very important matter to me. I was a little discouraged."

What Chu Wuzhi said was from his heart, and it was also the emotions that were suppressed deep in his heart.

Putting aside the objective potential crisis, if Ning Xianzhi had not "rashly visited" at that time, the Scorpion Demon would have succeeded.

Just looking at Chu Wuji's mood, he was exhausted during that period. The pills left by Bai Sujin were almost gone, and all the methods he tried to seek medical treatment and medicine were ineffective. He didn't know what to do next!

Ning Xianzhi's "awakening" gave him great inner comfort, and at least he saw a glimmer of hope.

During the short time they were together, although she was pretending to be Bai Sujin, everything she did was out of taking care of him.

"...So, I won't take Qingying's words to heart, and I won't be discouraged by cultivating my talent."

Ning Xianzhi watched him the entire time. Her beautiful, calm face occasionally rippled with a maternal touch. The fairy's hands gently stroked Chu Wuji's hair until he finished speaking. Then she said,

"Then call me again. We've been talking for so long, and you haven't even called me mother once."

"Mother... I was afraid of getting confused just now and couldn't tell whether I was calling Bai Sujin or you." Chu Wuji explained helplessly.

"I was also Bai Sujin some time ago. Anyway, the mother you are talking about is me!" Ning Xianzhi snorted coldly, and said domineeringly that she accepted it all.

The little misunderstanding caused by Yun Qingying was clarified. Ning Xianzhi knew that she was just alarmed for nothing. She almost thought that her relationship with Chu Wuji was so ill-fated that they had to become estranged again because of a misunderstanding just after they met again.

Although it was unnecessary worry, the result was in line with Ning Xianzhi's wishes.

By the way, he also explained everything that happened before in one breath. Ning Xianzhi originally thought that the matter of the "amnesiac version of Bai Sujin" would rot in her heart, but now it became an unexpected surprise.

Now it's time to talk about conditioning. Ning Xianzhi doesn't really know much about the tempering of the body. She herself hasn't delved into it, but only knows the general idea.

However, she still knew the need for conditioning to temper the body.

Regardless of the various paths of cultivation, one cannot do without the protection and cleansing of the physical body by the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. However, warriors who choose the path of physical body tempering lack the talent in spiritual energy cultivation and can only passively seek help from other cultivators.

Chu Wuji's talent in cultivating immortals is also considered good enough. If he practices normally for ten to eight years, he will have passed that threshold. In the future, he will be able to guide the spiritual energy on his own to regularly cleanse his tendons and marrow, and regulate and nourish his tendons, bones, and acupoints.

But it is really impossible to do it now, and we can only rely on help from outsiders.

"Wuji, Mother heard from Qingying that...the fox ancestor plans to capture the Hehuan demon girl to help you recuperate your body?"

Ning Xianzhi's tone seemed to indicate a decision and hesitation. She truly felt the boy's deficient energy and was afraid that he would catch a cold in this freezing weather, so she pulled up the quilt and lay in bed with him. The woman held the boy tightly in her soft embrace.

"right......"

"This is too dangerous. The way of cultivating Yin and Yang is complementary and not a perverse method. However, the Hehuan Sect has abused this method and developed many despicable tricks to absorb essence and energy. What if you fall into their trap?"

The Shenxiao Sect also has joint practice techniques for Taoist couples. Ning Xianzhi had given them to Queen Wen and Princess Jing'an.

"Well, there are risks indeed." The boy nodded subtly.

Ning Xianzhi's serious questioning left Chu Wuji with no way to explain.

He also knew that the demons were not good people. Judging from the simple fight between Saint Hehuan and Yun Qingying, all the moves they made were insidious and cunning, and extremely despicable.

However, the Fox Goddess said that she could possess the body of the Holy Lady Hehuan, which should be a safer option.

Ning Xianzhi's eyes dodged, and she barely convinced herself. She warned earnestly:

"This kind of thing can't be left to outsiders. What if someone takes the opportunity to destroy your meridians? Mother can't let you put yourself in danger."

"Hmm?" Chu Wuji frowned, gradually feeling something was wrong. He thought Ning Xianzhi was simply here to explain the misunderstanding!

"So, I'll help you recuperate once or twice, just once or twice! When your strength matures in the future, you'll have to rely on yourself, or find your own Taoist companion..."

Chapter 139: Fairy Mother and Mortal Son?

......

"No problem, slow down, slow down... Your Qi and blood are weak... Don't worry, mother won't leave."

In the room, the gentle and soothing voice of the fairy mother floated out faintly and wearily.

Ning Xianzhi originally thought that she would only be able to read about the secret techniques of the Shenxiao Sect in this life, but she didn't expect that they would come in handy, and that they would be used on Chu Wuji.

At first, he was a little unfamiliar with it, but after a few attempts, Ning Xianzhi quickly became familiar with the conditioning method.

She carefully felt the meridians and spiritual veins of the young man in her arms, and realized very clearly how incredibly strong Chu Wuzhi's physical foundation was!

Judging from the cultivation tradition passed down for thousands of years, Chu Wuji is still in the mortal stage, because even his normal breathing exercises are very slow, and at best he has only just begun to see the spiritual energy.

However, when his heartbeat was clearly transmitted to the depths of Ning Xianzhi's heart through their skin, the strong rhythm forced her to resonate with him.

Ning Xianzhi felt that he was an immature ancient beast and needed more care and nourishment from the arms of the elders.

The long and lingering conditioning is over...

The crimson permeated the noble jade face of the fairy. Ning Xianzhi hugged Chu Wuji, and her soft and delicate hands patted his back, soothing his breathing.

"Wu Ji, I've finished regulating your meridians and spiritual veins. Your spiritual veins are naturally larger than those of ordinary cultivators, and your Qi Hai acupoints are also unusually wide, making it difficult for you to fill them up even with your breathing exercises in the early stages. This isn't what a human cultivator should have, it's more like an ancient monster or giant beast."

Chu Wuji still stayed in Ning Xianzhi's gentle embrace and did not leave. He didn't quite understand what was said and asked softly:

"Is this good or bad?"

"If you could find a blessed land where ancient exotic beasts could inhabit and reproduce, the kind where golden crows and phoenixes roam, then you'd be in your element."

Ning Xianzhi's words of comfort were not fabricated out of thin air.

When a cultivator first starts practicing, he must first fill up his own Qi Sea through breathing exercises and develop an inner stable Qi cyclone so that it can circulate spiritual energy spontaneously.

However, the capacity of Chu Wuji's natural Qi Hai acupoint would require the breathing speed of a "Purple Monument" cultivator to fill it up in a short period of time. As a beginner in cultivation, he would naturally feel that the breathing was extremely slow, and he didn't know when he would be able to develop a cyclone.

But the impact is not significant. Normally, cultivators use spiritual practice to drive the sublimation of their physical bodies. Chu Wuji can do the opposite. Once his physical body is tempered and becomes strong, it will gradually drive the spiritual practice.

Ning Xianzhi also warned earnestly: "You must remember this in the future: never allow strangers to help you with your conditioning. You are exposing your weaknesses to them. They can use their spiritual energy to warm your spiritual veins, and naturally they can also release murderous intent."

"I see... can I take the ribbon off my eyes then?"

Chu Wuji's eyes were covered by the belt on the woman's dress. It was Ning Xianzhi who covered it, worried that Chu Wuji would see his subtle expression and affect his image of him.

Ning Xianzhi heard this and touched her cheeks, finding that they were still a little red and hot, and said:

"Not yet, pick it later. There's one more thing..."

"Mother, you say."

"During the treatment, try not to call for your mother..." Ning Xianzhi's voice became lower and lower.

"Then stop shouting."

Ning Xianzhi was a little unhappy when she saw that he responded so decisively. She was worried that this stubborn child would stop yelling from now on, so she reminded him:

"It's just not allowed during conditioning. You have to shout at other times!"

Chu Wuji didn't know how to respond. He fell silent and felt the effect of this treatment.

The most direct feeling is that the acupoints are moisturized. These spiritual energies can serve as nutrients to accelerate the recovery of his qi and blood, and at the same time vaguely promote his body to enter a state of "secondary development".

As for the fact that the effect of strengthening the tendons and washing the marrow was gone, Chu Wuji guessed that this was because the Heavenly Fox Goddess often helped him with conditioning...

Why does it feel like even with a living mother to help him recuperate, he's getting further and further down the path of physical refinement?

Ning Xianzhi saw that the boy in her arms was silent, so she didn't force him to talk.

She took advantage of this quiet and silent time to calm herself down. The fairy looked calm and composed, but her heart was surging with waves.

I had been planning to meet with the Heavenly Fox Goddess to confirm her condition. However, the spirit of the ancestor who had descended to the world in response to the fox clan's sacrifice ritual had not yet dispersed after defeating the enemy.

If this kind of thing becomes the norm, there will be chaos in the future. Every demon tribe will try to sacrifice the spirit of their own ancestors for fun, to see whose ancestors are more powerful.

By the way, Ning Xianzhi also wanted to ask the Heavenly Fox Lady about the tempering of the physical body so that he could better guide Chu Wuji in the future.

But the current situation is a bit delicate. Chu Wuzhi has revealed too much... If he goes to meet the Sky Fox Queen, it will definitely be discovered, which will be very embarrassing.

I'll find a chance to meet this Heavenly Fox Lady next time.

......

After a long pause, the two finally separated.

Ning Xianzhi waved her white sleeves, and several ancient martial arts manuals appeared on the table. She introduced them:

"These aren't the core techniques of the Divine Sky Sect. Mother bought them all from the library. If you like, you can learn them. You can even use them as hard currency to buy things."

In some cultivators' markets, martial arts techniques can be used directly as currency. Few people use these martial arts techniques for cultivation, but the advantage is that they are "ancient" and are ancient scrolls that have been lost.

Many collectors like to collect it, and it is very valuable. It may not be possible to trade it for other martial arts skills. By then, Chu Wuji will be in a state of being a nuisance in his pocket, and he cannot use it.

Ning Xianzhi's considerations were very thorough.

She took off her hairpin again. It was made of black jade, warm and transparent, with a Ganoderma lucidum at the end, exquisitely carved, simple and elegant.

The fairy placed it in Chu Wuji's hand and said:

"This jade hairpin is called 'Mozhi'. You can wear it around your waist as a pendant. In times of battle, it can transform into a flying sword to assist you. Next time, if you can snatch a wine gourd from Jiujiu, this jade hairpin can be used as a gourd stopper to help you warm the wine."

Chu Wuji felt a little embarrassed. It was obvious that this was a gift Ning Xianzhi had carefully prepared before she came to see him. If he refused it, it would be a waste of her kindness.

He accepted it honestly, without saying a word of polite refusal to spoil the mood. He looked earnestly at the elegant and extraordinary Fairy Mother before him and said:

"Thank you, mother."

Ning Xianzhi's face was stern, and a layer of frost formed on her beautiful face. She said unhappily:

"You are not allowed to say thank you to your mother. I punish you by making you say it again, but change thank you to mother."

Chu Wuji smiled helplessly, took the initiative to hug her plump body, and leaned close to her ear like last time, and said obediently:

"Mother, mother!"

Ning Xianzhi's delicate body softened slightly, and her chest and breathing became a little unnatural. She found a topic to cover up her inner feelings and said:

"From now on, no matter what others say about your cultivation talent, you don't need to pay attention to it, and don't be suspicious or misunderstood of me. I will never despise you."

After holding Chu Wuzhi for a while, she made sure that there was nothing wrong with her appearance and clothes before flying back to Shenxiao Sect.

Chapter 140: The Scorpion Demon's Tribulation Place

After Ning Xianzhi left, Chu Wuji watched her figure until she disappeared before returning his attention to the present.

Chu Wuji didn't want to move for the time being because he didn't want to look at the martial arts techniques for the time being. He was afraid that after looking at them, he would not be able to help but go out to practice.

He looked at the jade hairpin, which seemed to have captured Chu Wuji's thoughts and transformed into an elegant jade sword blade.

From a distance, the sword looks pitch black, as if holding a ray of dim and lightless night. From a close distance, it is bright and translucent. Chu Wuji swings the sword lightly, and ink marks are left wherever the sword passes.

Even if he let go of his hand, the Jade Hairpin Sword would continue to float in the air, motionless.

If there were an enemy, this flying sword would probably aim at the enemy on its own.

Chu Wuji was amazed and said:

"How come it has its own special effects? No wonder it's called 'Mozhi'. From now on, I'll have more helpers in fights, and I won't have to worry about controlling it."
