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

Chu Wuji was not vague either. Now that the ingredients were in hand, he started cooking without saying a word. He boiled water, plucked the hair, dissected the internal organs, examined the cause of death, and finally pickled the ginger, onion and garlic. He used one for stewing soup and the other for stir-frying.

After a set of skillful procedures, the dishes were served, and Yun Qingying also brought back two jars of wine from the winery in Sanquanwei.

Senior Jiujiu scooped a bowl of soup, took a sip, and immediately revealed a satisfied and intoxicated expression, saying:

"I can tell from the broth that this golden pheasant died from a fatal wound. It's truly beyond saving. What a pity!"

"I didn't realize that Senior Jiujiu has such profound attainments in nonsense literature." Chu Wuji was surprised.

"That's right!" Taoist Jiuwu didn't quite understand what nonsense literature was. Since it was a compliment to her, he accepted it all.

At the dinner table, after taking a few bites of the dishes, Chu Wuji began to gather information:

"There's a magical power in Kunlun Ruins that I'd like to borrow and see for myself, but I don't know much about this immortal sect. It seems like there's not much activity going on there."

Yun Qingying couldn't help but agree after Chu Wuji mentioned it:

"Although I haven't been in the mountains for long, I've had some contact with the cultivators in Xiaoyao Valley and Kongtong Mountain. However, I know very little about Kunlun Ruins."

Jiuwu Taoist's eating manners were not good. She gnawed the chicken leg until her mouth was covered with sauce, which made her mouth look like a sausage. She said:

"Normal. Kunlunxu's stance can only be considered as leaning towards the immortals. The cultivators there rarely go out, and the Jade Girl even wears a leopard-print skirt!"

Jade Maiden? It should be something like a saint.

Chu Wuji's attention was not on the name, but on the leopard-print skirt. Is this so wild and tempting?

He pretended not to care, leaving it for later questioning, and said seriously:

"Why do you lean towards the Immortals? Is there anyone who is a fence-sitter between the Immortals and the Demons?"

Quan Leida was eating rice with great concentration. It was such a big piece of food, but she only used a small bowl to eat it. She said:

"Master said that being neutral means getting attacked from both sides. Both the immortals and the demons will attack those who are neutral."

When Ning Xianzhi saw Mrs. Jiang picking up food for her son, she also picked up a chicken leg from her good friend Jiujiu's bowl and put it in Chu Wuji's bowl.

Taoist Jiuwu had just answered the question when she looked down and found that the chicken leg was gone. She looked at Ning Xianzhi in disbelief.

"Xianzhi, I've taken a bite!"

The legs and wings of the golden pheasant have stronger nourishing effects. Ning Xianzhi took advantage of this and took the food away for her son. In order to calm her friend's resentment, she took out a pot of wine of decent age, and the Taoist Jiuwu immediately had no objection.

Continuing the topic, Ning Xianzhi explained:

"Kunlun Ruins has never said that they are in alliance with the immortal forces. They just do not interfere with the outside world. They are similar to the immortals, but they do not collude with the demons.

For the other three sacred sites, Kunlun Ruins is similar to a...rental retreat."

Chu Wuji became more and more confused the more he listened.

Fortunately, Ning Xianzhi did not mind the trouble and continued to introduce it seriously.

Kunlun Ruins is divided into three factions. The one in charge of a liquid ice pool is the Jade Girl, the one in charge of a vast snow-capped mountain is the Goddess, and the one in charge of the ruins in the mountain is the Saint Girl.

Their status is equally high, second only to the Master of Kunlun Palace, and many matters can be decided directly by these three women.

However, the population of Kunlun Ruins is very small, no more than a hundred people in total, so there are many places that can be rented as Taoist temples. The fee is one treasure that is used for personal worship, and it can be returned depending on the situation.

They don't interact much with the outside world, but there are often reports that Kunlunxu recruits disciples to practice until death.

As more and more similar news came out, Kunlunxu began to have a reputation for being evil, but Kunlunxu would not go out to cause trouble, so it was far from being a demon.

"If you want us to introduce you to Kunlun Ruins, that's a bit difficult. We're not that familiar with each other. Even if we've met before, they might not give us face. So, even if you introduce yourself to your master, it will be useless."

Chu Wuji understood a little bit. No wonder it was said that Kunlunxu’s position was just “biased” towards the immortals.

He asked, "Kongtong Mountain is very close to Kunlun Ruins. Both are in Tianji Country. Could there be some connection?"

Jiuwu Taoist waved his hand: "Hey, what does that matter? The relationship will only get worse!"

"Master, why?"

Xiaoquan also learned the joy of listening to gossip. She felt full after eating a bowl of rice and listened attentively to the conversation of her elders.

"There's no room for two tigers in one mountain, let alone a sect of cultivators. The closer the distance, the more inevitable conflicts are. They can't be avoided even if you want to. When recruiting disciples, who cares if monsters appear... There are plenty of opportunities for conflicts and frictions!"

Chu Wuji nodded, and he understood a little. This was indeed the situation.

How can they deal with the situation when both sides are looking for the same disciple? It would be easy for Kunlun Ruins to kill the new disciple, and it would seem like they are slapping Kongtong Mountain in the face.

——This is the disciple that you in Kongtong Mountain were eager to recruit, but he died from practicing in Kunlun Ruins.

Even though Kunlun Ruins did not express this meaning, many things it did had this kind of mocking effect.

He sighed, "I used to envy Tianji Nation for being blessed with the protection of two sacred immortal sites. It seems that this is not the case."

Ning Xianzhi said:

"In fact, this is because Tianji Nation is weak and cannot receive such great blessings. If Tianji Nation's territory is large enough so that they do not interfere with each other, then these two holy places of immortals will become potential factors in stabilizing the country's borders.

Similarly, Wu Ji, you are strong and can withstand adversities. You have encountered so many things before and have come through them all."

Chu Wuji laughed. All the disasters last year were caused by his own aunt. It was just one family member torturing one's own family. No matter how cruel they were, they would not kill each other.

"So...what's the deal with the leopard-print leather skirt that Senior Jiujiu just mentioned?" His tone was flat, as if he was simply gathering information, but in fact he was curious and fascinated.

Jiuwu Taoist looked confused. She couldn't understand why she was so concerned about this and asked in confusion:

"It's a leopard that's gone rogue. Its fur has been stripped off, and the girl is wearing it around her waist as a skirt. What could be going on? Does Wuji like girls wearing leopard print skirts?"

"No, I thought it was some kind of robe or magic weapon, haha..."

Chu Wuji's heart was filled with helplessness. He suddenly remembered the incident with the "blonde foreign horse". He was fooled by the excitement all the way, but in the end, he got two foals.

However, Fu Guanyin's appearance attributes can be considered as that of a blonde Malaysian, so the information is not too far off.

Mrs. Jiang continued to silently pick up meat and scoop soup for Chu Wuzhi. His bowl was piled with meat like a small mountain and could not hold any more. Mrs. Jiang then turned to pick up dishes for her daughter.

Yun Qingying didn't mind these things, she even picked up food directly from Chu Wuzhi's bowl and ate it.

When I was a senior sister in the mountains, I should have seized the opportunity to bully this stinky junior brother!

The girl drank her soup and asked in confusion, "Junior brother, why did you go to Tianji Country just to seek that Qiongqi magical power?"

"That's just one of the things. Another thing is..."

Chu Wuji had just taken the bone knife from his waist when the communication engraving on it lit up, but it was "rejected" by the restriction left by the Sky Fox Goddess.

In the words of the Sky Fox Goddess, this is playing hard to get. She should ignore Bone Knife's contact for the time being and respond after a while. This way, the other party will cherish this difficult and successful contact and seize the opportunity to come and find their companions.

Ning Xianzhi and Taoist Jiuwu naturally knew the origin of this bone knife. The "Fuqi technique" alone kept everyone busy for a long time.

However, they did not understand the reaction of the engravings on the bone knife.

When Bone Knife returned to calm, Ning Xianzhi asked about the reason:

"Could it be that someone from Wuzhong is contacting us regarding the situation just now?"

"Yes, this was the advice of the Crane Immortal... I plan to take advantage of the Wuzhong people's eagerness to rescue their companions and ambush them on the Tianji Kingdom side."

Chu Wuji explained everything that happened in the past few days.

The atmosphere at the dinner table fell silent unconsciously, with only the sound of Senior Jiujiu drinking.

Ning Xianzhi saw that her son had planned so carefully and had made all the necessary arrangements. She did not express her concerns and said concisely:

"When the time comes, I will follow the scent of the hairpin and go over to provide support. I will not move forward for the time being to avoid alerting the enemy."

Quan Lei Da was so surprised that she was speechless. She could only listen from afar to the elders' concerns about the Witch Tomb. Chu Wuzhi was even involved in it and even planned an ambush on the people at the Witch Tomb.

When they were practicing palm techniques before, Quan Lei Da only felt that Chu Wu Ji's style was wild. He was powerful, but he felt that he was not as good as him. How could he be involved in so many things?

Unexpectedly, while she was still puzzled, Chu Wuji had already planned the next big thing. She couldn't understand...

Yun Qingying secretly clenched her slender hands, her finger joints turned white, and she was unwilling to accept her own limited strength.

"If I work harder, maybe I can face things together with him instead of being protected by my master in the sect all day long."

The Jiuwu Taoist finally had enough to eat and drink. She said:

"Wu Ji helped Kongtong Mountain resolve an old problem. They owe you a favor, right? If you need help, ask for Aunt Zixiang. She's the best at setting up formations."

"Aunt Zixiang?" Chu Wuzhi hesitated about this title, feeling that it might offend people.

"You should call her 'Zixiang Zhenren'. Jiujiu and that old lady are drinking buddies, that's why they call each other that way." Ning Xianzhi reminded him in time.

"Just say it!" Chu Wuji smiled unhappily.

Fortunately, he was careful and thought that the name sounded like mushroom, otherwise he almost offended people.

......

The next morning, the two snake spirit elders came early to pick up their children.

In order to bring honor to her child, the aunt even transformed into a dragon. Bai Sujin was helpless and just paired up with her sister. She also shed her snake and python disguise after a long time.

Two beautiful dragons, one white and one blue, rolled and flew in the clouds. Two little girls were riding on their backs and arrived at Zhuying Peak together.

Ning Xianzhi originally wanted to complain about the two sisters, but who was she showing off to?

But when Ning Xianzhi saw that there were two little girls coming to play, he didn't say anything to provoke anger.

The little white tiger was trotting at the top of the mountain, and looking at the fairyland scenery curiously with Yao'er.

Wen Yaoer was so enchanted by the beauty of this fairyland that she forgot to breathe. Xiaotu was relatively calm. She came to Chu Wuji's side and shook his trouser leg:

"Brother Twolegs, what's delicious here? My little rabbit's stomach is rumbling! Sister Green Snake wouldn't let me have breakfast, so she brought me here!"

Chapter 358: Every bit counts

Chu Wuji guessed that Aunt Green Snake wanted to use Xiaotu as a "friendly token". If they rashly approached the gate of the Shenxiao Sect, it might cause some misunderstanding, but if they carried Madam White Tiger's daughter with them, it would be very safe.

However, not giving Xiaotu breakfast is indeed too much. This little girl is such a big eater!

Seeing that the girl was hungry, Chu Wuji stopped doing anything:

"Xiao Tu, you're really late. We had a big dinner yesterday, and the colorful golden pheasants were there. It's a pity you didn't come."

When White Tiger heard this, she knew that this meat was extraordinary. It must be some rare wild game. She swallowed her saliva:

"Any more?"

"No, everything is gone."

"......" Xiaotu's face suddenly fell, she pouted and looked at him angrily.

Senior Jiujiu was not there just now. She sensed the breath of the dragon and thought that a big monster was attacking the mountain gate, so she came over immediately to join in the fun. She had prepared a wine gourd and peanuts, but she found that it was a familiar face. She flew down to Zhuying Peak in disappointment.

She had just heard the conversation between Chu Wuji and Xiaotu. Senior Jiujiu felt that this girl had great potential and could become an ally:

"Xiao Tu, I'm going to take you to Yaoshan Mountain. There are many fairy birds and beasts there. Their meat is delicious and springy. But you can't hurt them, understand?"

Just by listening to the brief description, the white tiger girl's mouth was watering, her big round eyes were flashing with spirit, she was very eager and seemed to be willing to agree.

Chu Wuji hurriedly tried to stop him, thinking that Senior Jiujiu was going to take the little rabbit to do bad things. Once the little rabbit was released into the medicine mountain, he was afraid that more and more tragedies would happen to the small animals, and in the end, "rescue would fail" and the little rabbit would end up in Taoist Jiuwu's stomach.

"Madam Jiang, let me hold Xiaotu and Yaoer for you to play with." Chu Wuzhi put the two girls in the arms of the beautiful woman.

Mrs. Jiang was afraid that her daughter would be jealous, but when she saw the two little girls' adorable appearance, she couldn't help but feel maternal instinct. She hugged them and cuddled with them for a while, then felt her heart swell up a little, and hurried back to the house.

Yun Qingying was helpless and had to follow her back to the room to help her mother deal with the embarrassing situation.

"Okay, you two play here by yourselves for a while, and your brother will chat with the adults for a while." Chu Wuzhi carried the little girl aside and returned to the middle of the elders.

Taoist Jiuwu had never seen Bai Sujin and her sisters' dragon forms before. They had disguised themselves again. Now he looked at them with his own eyes and exclaimed:

"White Snake, Green Snake, your transformation into a walking dragon is truly remarkable. If we were to rank them as 'high, medium, and low', you would both be at the top of the best!"

"What's the difference?" Chu Wuji didn't understand these things and had never heard Sister Dragon Girl talk about them before.

"Look at the dragon's horns and scales. The more translucent they are, the more powerful they are. Many old dragons have turbid scales. This change is a process of transformation, a cleansing of all impurities!"

Ning Xianzhi helpfully added, "For a 'low-grade' cultivator who has walked the dragon path, it would take at least five hundred years to cultivate to the level of Bai Sujin and the others."

This really is a blessing in disguise.

Although I knew at that time that the hard work was not in vain and the two elders' dragon-walking process was very successful and smooth, I never thought it would reach this level and save so many years.

The White Snake Mother's cultivation progress, which was forced to stagnate because of rebuilding her demon body, was instantly settled?

Chu Wuji was very curious about one thing, so he asked, "Compared to Xuanyin Xingjun, how is the gap?"

"She obtained the ancient dragon scale coin from the Crane Immortal. She must be thinking about transforming into Yinglong."
