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

As soon as this request was put forward, everyone in Xiaoyao Valley laughed, and the cafeteria gave each disciple an extra Kun leg.

The elder who went to recruit disciples repeatedly advised the king of the Southern Kingdom not to be confused, but the other party did not appreciate it.

This monarch felt that the so-called checks and balances in the court could be used on these otherworldly forces - I can introduce Buddhism to eliminate demons, and I don't necessarily need Xiaoyao Valley. You are not as great as you imagined.

Then it came to the situation we have today. Buddhist monks in the Southern Heaven Kingdom built Buddhist temples on a large scale, occupied land, amassed wealth and recruited people. Taxes paid by the local areas to the country had to pass through the local Buddhist temples first, and 60% of the profits were intercepted before they were released.

Xiaoyao Valley is truly free and easy, and acts in a carefree manner. After all, the immortals do not interfere in worldly affairs, so why can't they recruit disciples from anywhere?

In a sense, Yang He, a girl from Lihuo Country, was able to be accepted as a disciple of Xiaoyao Valley thanks to the blessing of the King of Nantian Country, who allowed Xiaoyao Valley to expand its enrollment to other countries.

In the southern area near the Tiannu River basin, the bridges were broken by the existence of walking dragons, which was somewhat related to this. The newly promoted little dragon knew that the nearest immortal monks didn't care, so what was there to be afraid of?

Blame yourself.

There is the king of the capital above and the people of Diaolongkou below.

Although this is not the overall trend in the Kingdom of Southern Heaven, where customs vary from place to place, and the king's ideas are difficult to convey to the people, it is really unsettling that similar things happen throughout the country.

"Hey, although it's a bit far from home, the food here in Xiaoyao Valley is very good, and eating is also a way of practicing Taoism! If I were to learn the art of fasting in the Shenxiao Sect, I wouldn't be able to endure the hardship of such practice!"

After Miss Yang He finished speaking, the disciple on duty in the cafeteria just brought over a plate of braised dragon meat. Her eyes widened and shone.

Seeing that everyone at the table was chatting and had no intention of picking up their chopsticks, she had no choice but to pick up a piece of meat for everyone at the table before she continued eating.

The Taoist Jiuwu couldn't help but smile. She drank and ate, saying:

"Learning the art of fasting doesn't mean I can't eat, but the immortal rice in Xiaoyao Valley is indeed delicious!"

Chu Wuji waited until Yang He was half full (a whole bowl of rice), then he spoke to the Rice Immortal again:

"Do you know anything about the aquatic creatures of the Tiannu River? Are there any that we should pay attention to?"

The canteen's chief mountain guard, Wind Chasing Swordsman, came over. He had just helped to extract the dragon's tendon and was about to come over to eat a bite of meat, but when he saw that the hot pot and the vegetable plate were empty, he paused with his chopsticks in his hand and looked at Yang He with complicated eyes.

You can tell who created this at a glance. Most disciples can't eat that much.

Master Zhuifeng had just heard Chu Wuji's question, and he helpfully replied:

"How can a young disciple come into contact with the Dragon Palace aquatic creatures of the Tiannu River? Let me tell you!"

This swordsman looks young, but he is actually hundreds of years old. Naturally, he knows some of the conditions in the Sky Wrath Dragon Palace.

The strength of the Tiannu River Dragon King is comparable to that of the leader of the immortal holy land. With the home advantage, the strength of this dragon king is even more powerful.

Next up was a Supreme Elder-level mantis shrimp, He Li. He was the Three Rivers Water God, and the three major tributaries of the Tiannu River were all his domains. His underwater power was immense, and his shrimp punches were ferocious.

Further down is a dragon girl with the name "Xuanyin Star Lord", the orthodox eldest daughter of the dragon clan and the eldest princess of the Tiannu Dragon Palace.

"Xuan Yin Xingjun had already completed a dragon-walking trial when she was young. However, the Skywrath Dragon King is in seclusion, so she has returned temporarily to help manage the affairs of the Dragon Palace. Otherwise, she would have gone into the sea to gain experience. Her future strength is immeasurable!"

The Wind Chasing Swordsman is worthy of being called Lao Deng, he has seen and heard a lot.

Chu Wuji suddenly felt that his previous boasting was a bit too much, and he asked:

"If I want to deal with these water creatures, what strategy do I have?"

Sword Master Zhuifeng did not show any surprise, nor did he laugh at the boy's arrogance. Although everyone was pretending to be confused, they all knew where the dragon meat came from.

It's not that this warrior boy is rampant, but he doesn't want to cause trouble to the people living along the river basin, so he chooses to go back and face the wrath of the Sky Wrath Dragon Palace.

The first creed of a sword cultivator is the determination to draw the sword!

You can't just have the courage to draw your sword when facing a weak enemy!

"The dish is served, stir-fried dragon meat, please move aside." A disciple came over to serve the dish, and Master Zhuifeng Swordsman quickly picked up a piece to avoid it being gone without noticing.

He said, "Let's not talk nonsense. Fighting the aquatic creatures of the Dragon Palace in the water is like asking for death. We can only lure them out and fight it out on earth or in the sky. But there is a problem!"

"what is the problem?"

"You lured the water creatures out and went through so much trouble to injure them, but they just fled straight into the Tiannu River. What would you do?"

This is indeed a difficult problem. If you don't pursue it, you will fail. If you pursue it, you will be courting death and will be almost invincible.

These aquatic creatures essentially have the background of cultivators, and with the blessing of rivers, the immortal cultivators do not want to take the initiative to provoke these guys.

Chu Wuzhi realized the difficulty. It was not that he could eat river seafood hotpot whenever he wanted. It was much more difficult than fishing.

Fishing, at best, the fish just don't bite.

After the aquatic creatures are "hooked" and come out of the water, they may slap you in the face first, and then jump back into the water to show off their power.

He was not depressed, but said calmly:

"A true blacksmith must be strong himself. Senior Zhuifeng, I seem to have grasped the basics of sword intent. How can I take it one step further? Could you please give me some pointers?"

The canteen manager did not confirm Chu Wuzhi's sword intent. After all, he was not a sword cultivator, but some principles were the same.

He pointed out:

"A sharp sword is forged in the sparks of metal clashing with stone, and sword spirit is honed in the fierce struggles of powerful opponents. This cannot be achieved through mere enlightenment."

Chu Wuji agreed very much. He just chopped at the Tianlong Monk, and as he chopped, he felt something in his heart.

"Looks like I have to eat first, and then I can go find the seniors from Xiaoyao Valley to spar with them."

Yun Qingying quietly asked for help from the Fox Goddess in her heart:

"Senior Tianhu, do you have any way to deal with the aquatic creatures of the Tiannu River?"

The Fox Goddess chuckled in her heart. She would have helped Chu Wuji with his plans, and this girl even came to ask for help for her brother.

The fox girl said in Yun Qingying's mind:

[Heaven and Earth, do you know why it's not called 'Tianshui'? ]

Yun Qingying was silent for a moment. She couldn't answer and couldn't understand why the Sky Fox Queen asked this question out of the blue.

"do not know."

[The sea may dry up, the rocks may rot, but it's not the vast earth that will rot. Even the ocean is not as bad as it is, and the aquatic creatures in the rivers think they are important! If the Tiannu River is directly blocked, where can the aquatic creatures go?]

It may be a little difficult to completely cut off the Tiannu River, but it is not difficult to cut it off for a while. It is easy for aquatic creatures to have problems during this period of time when they lose the blessing of the river.

*

The water level in the Tiannu River basin has risen sharply and the current is surging, even worse than during the summer rainy season!

The people of the coastal countries were in panic and stunned, looking at the Nu River that seemed to be swallowing people, with great fear in their hearts.

The people in power in the government were so worried that their brows were furrowed, and people from all over the country were discussing the matters of offering sacrifices and building the Dragon King Temple.

Before the plan was discussed, news of people being swept into the river and dying began to come in one after another.

"This isn't right. It's only early spring, so the water should just be rising from melting ice and snow. But the water levels aren't this high even during the summer flood season!"

"Even the docks are flooded. Is the Tiannu River really a case of God being angry?"

*

In the Skywrath Dragon Palace,

The news of the Seventh Prince being abducted has spread among the water tribe.

At this moment, when the elders of the aquatic creatures from all the big rivers and lakes were gathered together for the grand banquet of recognizing their ancestors, the protagonist, the Seventh Prince, was kidnapped and his whereabouts are unknown. This is a shame for the Sky Wrath Dragon Palace!

"We've been searching for two days, and there's still no trace of him! Seventh Brother was only up there for such a short time, and you didn't protect him. Now you can't even find out where he went!"

The eldest daughter of the Dragon Palace was furious, her pretty face was filled with ferocity, and she slammed the armrest of the chair with her slender hand.

As her anger grew, the waves of the river became more violent and turbulent.

As the commander of Sanjiang, He Li has sent his men to investigate and even went ashore to question many human civilians, but still got nothing.

He guessed, "When the Seventh Prince went to fight, the river surface was frozen for a long time. The ice layer and the barrier were intertwined. This is not something that an ordinary cultivator can do. It is most likely a great cultivator from the immortal power."

The dragon girl sat on the chair with a gloomy expression. She considered the styles of each party and found that it was indeed the case.

The demonic cultivators would not do such a thing, nor would they provoke the Tiannu River Dragon Clan out of thin air. They would only take action when it was beneficial, and would not do anything that was not beneficial.

It is very likely that the cultivators from Xiaoyao Valley are kidnapping people as a warning, warning the aquatic creatures not to run rampant and cause floods.

The dragon girl, dressed in a gorgeous crystal blue dress, sneered coldly:

"They really know how to pick a good time. They're taking advantage of this moment to kidnap people and warn them, bringing shame to the Skywrath Dragon Palace! We can't let this go easily. Even if Xiaoyao Valley releases my seventh brother, these immortal cultivators will have to pay the price for this!"

Commander Pipi Shrimp's face was solemn. He asked cautiously:

"Xuan Yin Xingjun, what do you need me to do? I'll do whatever you ask!"

The Dragon Girl looked at him with an arrogant expression, her beauty exuding a strong sense of arrogance and oppression. After a moment's thought, she made a decision that could not be questioned:

"Send soldiers ashore and inform all the creatures along the coast that the water level will rise ten meters this year and will not recede. This is a gift from the gods of Xiaoyao Valley!"

Chapter 241 Fishing Dragon Mouth, Fishing Dragon

After the meal in Xiaoyao Valley, Chu Wuji kept a few dragon delicacies for himself, waiting to pack them up for the female family members when he returned, and to show off to the little white tiger.

Chu Wuji was truly envious of Miss Yang He's ability to store food. It was like she was carrying a food box with her, into which she could stuff all sorts of dishes.

However, the matter of food was not worth thinking about too much for the time being. Chu Wuji's mind quickly turned to the subsequent battle.

It is better to sharpen your sword before the battle, even if it is not sharp. The enmity with the aquatic creatures is already a foregone conclusion, so the right thing to do is to sharpen your claws.

He carried the chopping board and the giant blade and walked into the back kitchen. The disciples inside were still busy cooking because they also had a share of meat. They were busy and happy, working hard and devotedly.

One of the sword cultivators was dressed differently from the ordinary disciples. He looked handsome and elegant, and it was obvious that he was a person with some seniority and status in the sect. He was at least an old disciple from previous generations.

For the sake of dragon meat, he put aside his airs and put on an apron to stir the wok. When he saw Chu Wuji, the outsider, he didn't look closely, but kept his attention on his own wok and said:

"Young Master, it's enough that you generously sent me a meal of food. Why are you also helping me replace the door panel? The kitchen door is not broken, right?"

Chu Wuji looked at the giant blade in his hand and justified its name, saying, "This is not a door panel, it's a cutting board."

The sword cultivator looked dazed, but he politely replied, "I'm Zhuangbei. Young Master, is there anything I can help you with?"

"Yes, let's not beat around the bush. Does Xiaoyao Valley know how to temper weapons? It's the kind of process that tempers demon blood into weapons."

Chu Wuji had just killed the Tianlong Monk, and several weapons in the giant anvil blade were stained with demon blood. It would be unreasonable not to quench them.

He remembered that Lihuo Country had sold many weapons to Xiaoyao Valley before, and thought that there should be corresponding craftsmanship here, otherwise it would take too much time to return to Lihuo Country.

The journey back and forth takes time, and waiting for quenching also takes time.

Zhuang Bei's reply was straightforward. "Casting won't work, but simple quenching is fine. Put it on the stove. I just finished cooking, and the fire is burning brightly!"

The swordsman poured the meat and vegetables in the pot into a plate, leaving space on the stove for Chu Wuzhi.

Chu Wuji had never thought about stove quenching. He was silent for a moment, then clasped his fists and asked for advice:

"Senior Zhuang Bei, which of my weapons do you think is suitable for tempering the blood of this half-dragon, half-loach creature? The chopping board seems a bit too big, and the heat is uneven."

The senior sword cultivator subconsciously wanted to say, "Didn't you just bring in a door panel? How could you have so many weapons?" But he was a sword cultivator after all, and he quickly discovered the abnormality of the giant blade.

This is actually a sword box?!

He maintained the calm demeanor of a master and said, "Pick the one you are least used to and the dirtiest to temper it."

"Why? Is there any explanation for this?" Chu Wuzhi asked, and he decisively pulled out a kitchen knife-like weapon from the giant blade.

Its predecessor should be a weapon like a ruler-shaped knife, but the front half was broken off, and the remaining half looked very much like a kitchen knife.

Chu Wuji despised this thing the most and never took it out to use because it damaged his image.

"Only by doing the right thing in the right place can we achieve the best results. This immortal rice field can be opened in any immortal holy land, but only the immortal rice from Xiaoyao Valley is the best. The same principle applies to quenching."

Xiaoyao Valley can also help with quenching, but even though it is a holy land of immortals, the quenching effect cannot compare to that of Lihuo Country. It is always a little bit worse. That is the unique advantage of Lihuo Country.

So, just pick up a weapon you dislike and temper it for emergency use, but don't waste other weapons.

Chu Wuji suddenly realized: "If you want to poop, you have to go to the toilet. If you have no other choice, you can just find a place to poop in the wild?"

"Almost, but don't mention that vulgar word in the cafeteria!"

Senior Zhuang Bei was a little angry. After erasing the word from his mind, he said while eating:

"Actually, you can put your sword there to quench it. Seeing other people's swords not quenched to perfection will make my mind clear and my sword spirit free!"

Chu Wuji laughed. It seemed that immortal cultivators also had emotions like jealousy, but they could express it in a more open-minded way.

He placed the kitchen knife stained with the demon's blood on the stove in the cafeteria and began to quench it. Quenching would take quite a while, so he asked the senior to help add more fire.

Senior Zhuang Bei agreed and said, "Young Master, you can go do other things. I'll send it to you after it's quenched. If you can't find anyone, ask Junior Sister Yang He for help."
