What kind of Journey to the West is this?

Looking again, there was another red bellyband in the distance.

A group of aquatic creatures chased after it screaming and were fascinated by it.

But the black shark's eyes were venomous and sharp, and it shouted, "Don't chase me! The one flying in the sky is Ao Shuangtong!"

A sea snake monster floated to the surface of the water, opened its mouth and spit out sticky and smelly saliva, which turned into spears and hit Ao Shuangtong's wings.

Ao Shuangtong was almost suffocated by the smell. He felt dizzy and could hardly tell the directions. He quickly jumped into the water to wash his body.

Black Shark shouted again: "Catch her quickly! Bring her back to the Dragon Palace!"

A group of seafood rushed forward and surrounded Ao Shuangtong, raising their harpoons to stab him.

Puff!

Oh my goodness, another phantom.

The monsters were at a loss. Black Shark rushed over, sniffed, and said with a grim expression, "She got away!"

At this time, a fish demon swam out and said, "Chief! I just saw her transform into a water bird and fly eastward!"

"I'm afraid it's hard to find. Anyway, what's your name? Where are you from?"

"My name is No-Brain. I came from an unknown sea in the west. I built a Taoist temple in the water called Chicken Flying Dog Jumping Village."

"Alright! You're such a jerk, take three hundred sailors and go east to find Ao Shuangtong. If you find him, there will be a huge reward!"

"Yes, leader!"

Black Shark ordered more than 300 shrimp soldiers and crab generals, and shouted: "The rest, follow me back to the palace!"

"Ouch!"

Thousands of small fish and water monsters swam towards the east in a mighty stream.

After they left, the fish demon said to himself, "This black shark's eyes are really sharp. I was almost discovered."

She looked at the bewildered soldiers and generals around her and gave blind orders: "You go east, you go west, you go south, you go north."

After giving some random commands, she sent these minnows and crab generals away, and then swam alone towards the Three Mountains and Ten Islands.

But I didn't swim far.

From a distance, she saw flags raised in the water, a large army marching forward, far more powerful than the smaller fish like the Black Shark.

A closer look: a dragon spews mist in the lead, a tiger shark stalks the vanguard. General Zhang's tentacles stir the waves, and Admiral Crocodile snorts wind from his flat mouth. Prime Minister Turtle sends a message eastward, while Marshal Red Carp speaks in the west. It turns out to be a canopy spreading out in mighty arms, and the Crown Prince's iron mace has three edges.

Ao Shuangtongyi looked closely and immediately saw an acquaintance.

Taking a look at the flag, it was indeed correct: Crown Prince of the West Sea, Moang Xiaoshuai.

She secretly thought that something was wrong, but before she could run, she saw Prince Moang pointing his finger at her from under the canopy and shouting, "Catch this traitor!"

Ao Shuangtong directly changed his original form and put his hands together to summon the white bone image.

The White Bone Bodhisattva protected her and fought against a group of sea monsters, while Ao Shuangtong took the opportunity to escape.

Running all the way in front and chasing all the way behind.

Prince Moang led his troops and followed closely.

On the way, Prime Minister Turtle advised, "Prince, we are going to the Three Mountains and Ten Islands. The Dala Day is approaching. If we continue to chase them, we will probably be too late."

Ao Mo'ang snorted, "You have no idea what foolish deeds this traitor has done! Just now, my cousin from the East Sea sent me a message, telling me that a dragon girl from our West Sea Dragon Palace has sneaked into the depths of someone else's Crystal Palace and stolen the most precious treasure!"

"Family disgrace should never be made public! Bring her back to the Dragon Palace and hand her over to my father for punishment!"

"It all depends on the prince's opinion."

Prime Minister Turtle had nothing to say.

Ao Shuangtong, the small fry who came from the chaotic village, was eventually thrown into chaos.

.......................

.......................

Two flowers bloom, one branch each.

But An Yanxia was enjoying a peaceful life at this time. She was drinking tea and waiting with Xue Shier and Yu Qinghuai in the Baiyun Cave on Penglai Fairy Island.

When Sanxing heard that An Yanxia had arrived, he invited Zhongli Quan to go to the cave to meet An Yanxia.

But Zhongli Quan said, "I have some things to do, so I can't go."

Sanxing had no choice but to go back by himself, and then An Yanxia saw three very kind and amiable old men returning to the cave.

When Old Lucky Star saw An Yanxia's appearance, he smiled and said, "You've achieved enlightenment at such a young age, and you're also very handsome. You're really lovable."

Luxing also stroked his beard and smiled, "You and Suchang are two of a kind."

The birthday star happily picked a few big birthday peaches from outside and gave them to Yanxia, Qinghuai and Xueshier to eat.

Yanxia, Xueshier and Yu Qinghuai looked at each other and were all flattered.

While they were eating and drinking, the three Star Gods took out their gifts. The main one was for Yan Xia, who was a younger generation from the same clan and sect. Xue Shi'er and Yu Qinghuai also received some, but the portions were smaller.

The three girls were somewhat reserved when they met the Star Lord. But after a few words, they gradually became familiar with each other. Yu Qinghuai, in particular, felt that she wasn't meeting an immortal, but rather returning to her hometown to meet an elder.

The following days went on like this. An Yanxia and Xue Shi'er traveled the mountains, tormenting the cranes, spirit deer, and black apes. They plucked the cranes' feathers, snatched the spirit deer's magical herbs, and stole the monkeys' fruit wine. They committed all sorts of evil deeds.

It had only been a few days, and the mountain spirits and monsters were already afraid of them. Fortunately, An Yanxia wasn't just playing around; she occasionally preached in the mountains, teaching everyone, and all kinds of monsters put aside their past grudges and came to listen.

Miss Yu was curious about the tea from Penglai Island, so she asked the Taoist boy about the techniques of growing and picking tea.

When she had some free time, Yan Xia would discuss with the three old men the difficulties and experiences in her spiritual practice. As they talked, they turned to her own method of sitting and forgetting and the three volumes of the Heavenly Book.

When talking about this, Samsung just smiled and kept silent.

Fuxing smiled and said, "Your Tao is very great. We old men who live in the stars and practice cultivation cannot reach it. You might as well ask others."

The God of Longevity also said, "If you want to cultivate your own Dao, you must be down-to-earth. Since you haven't finished the Qi Training Volume yet, it would be best to finish this one first. I heard that the Great Immortal Zhenyuan, the ancestor of the Earthly Immortals of Wuzhuang Temple, is staying in Yutan Valley. The foundation of Earthly Immortals is Qi Refining, so you might as well go and ask for his advice."

Luxing also praised, "Zhen Yuanzi's Dao is far greater than ours, and can be compared with Dong Wanggong. Our Three Mountains and Ten Islands are the ancestral lineage of all the gods and immortals in the world. And his Wuzhuang Temple is the ancestral land of all the earthly immortals in the world. If he helps you, then your Heavenly Book is in your reach."

After receiving advice from the three old star gods, An Yanxia felt that this was indeed a good opportunity.

She was indeed unfamiliar with the art of Qi training. She had seen practitioners of talismans, alchemy, and even Buddhist cultivation, including immortals and venerables.

The only thing she had never encountered was a terrestrial immortal who practiced Qi—except the one in Yuwang Cave.

I haven't even seen it, let alone ask for advice.

Now that he has finally met Zhen Yuanzi, if Yan Xia doesn't learn a few tricks from him, then wouldn't his trip to Zhen Yuanzi be in vain?

Yan Xia thought for a moment and nodded, "Then I'll go to Yutan Valley and take a look."

The Mortal World is a Good Place for Cultivation: Chapter 246 [Ao Shuangtong on the Run]

The Three Mountains and Ten Islands are located on the vast East China Sea. The so-called Three Mountains are Penglai, Yingzhou and Fangzhang.

Penglai is the home of the Three Stars, Yingzhou is the monastery of the Nine Elders, and Fangzhang Immortal Mountain houses the residence of the Eastern King. The Ten Islands are a collective term for the numerous islands surrounding the Three Mountains. Many immortals have established huts and cultivated their Dao on these islands, revering the Three Mountains as their "ancestral lineage," forming numerous small groups known as sects.

Xuanyuan Dadan Sect is one of them.

The Xuanyuan Great Pill Sect was in Penglai, but it didn't have the kind of sect headquarters, Dharma Protector Hall, or sect hall that Yanxia had imagined. There wasn't even a mountain gate. There was only a stone tablet on Sanyang Peak, a dozen miles outside of Baiyun Cave, with the words "Great Pill Xuanyuan" written on it.

The cultivators within the sect were even more undisciplined and free-spirited, lacking any sect rules or responsibilities, much less any missions or salaries. They resembled the loose cultivator alliances in xianxia novels. For example, Sanxing was in Baiyun Cave, and if you didn't tell them, no one would have known they were also from the Xuanyuan Great Dan Sect.

Lao Tzu also said that tranquility and inaction lead to a small country with few people. An Yanxia thought that perhaps this was the corporate culture!

On the contrary, heaven does not have this kind of casual and free atmosphere.

Her little head was full of wild thoughts, and she followed the clouds to fly to a valley. After asking around, she found a secluded mountain residence and a Taoist temple in the forest on a mountain peak.

Yanxia opened her Dharma Eyes and saw two streams of Yang Qi rising from the temple and rushing towards the Douniu. She thought to herself, "Such strong Yang Qi, so clear and bright, must be inhabited by a good person. It must be the Great Immortal Zhenyuan."

She descended from a cloud and knocked on the door. She heard hurried footsteps from inside. Two immortal children in feathered Taoist robes opened the door and bowed, asking, "Excuse me, who are you?"

"I am An Yanxia from the Xuanyuan Great Dan Sect. I have received guidance from three stars. I heard that the Great Immortal Zhenyuan has come to Yutan Valley, so I came to visit."

The two fairy children looked at each other and saw that An Yanxia was an immortal who could return the elixir. After hearing about her background, they bowed and said:

"Oh! It's Master An. We are the disciples of the great immortal."

"I call the breeze."

"My name is Mingyue."

"Real person please!"

Qingfeng Mingyue led An Yanxia into the main hall of the temple. Inside, she saw a dark lacquered incense table with a golden censer and jade vase on top, and a plate of black pills neatly arranged next to it.

Qingfeng asked Yanxia to sit down, served her tea, a plate of sliced precious fruits, and a pot of elixir with the aroma of wheat.

Qingfeng asked, "Although I don't know why the immortals came to my master, we are also earthly immortals who have cultivated the inner energy and refined the evil spirits. If you are seeking medicine or divination, I will help you right away."

There are five levels of earthly immortality: absorbing qi to build the foundation, returning to the innate state, gathering qi to refine evil spirits, embracing the simplicity, and having immortal skin and bones.

Tuan Gang Lian Sha is indeed powerful, but it is not as good as Zhen Yuan Daxian.

Yan Xia shook her head and said, "I'm afraid you two can't do this... May I ask where the Immortal is?"

Mingyue explained, "My master went to Yingzhou Fairy Island not long ago to visit the Nine Elders of Yingzhou. He won't be back for a while."

"If you have something you would like my master to do, please tell us. If we can do it, we will help you solve it."

"If that doesn't work, wait for the master to come back. We'll tell him then. It's not too late."

He's not at home!

He's out traveling, and no one knows when he'll be back. Yanxia doesn't feel comfortable staying at his house all the time. So asking these two fairy children to relay the message is a good idea.

She said, "That's fine!"

Yan Xia didn't hesitate and said directly, "I want to discuss the Taoist method of Qi training with Zhen Yuan Daxian."

Hearing this, Qingfeng Mingyue was stunned for a moment, then burst out laughing.

Qingfeng covered his mouth and laughed, "Master, please don't joke. Do you know what kind of person my master is?"

Mingyue waved his hand and said, "To be honest, Immortal, in this world, the Daluo Heavenly Palace, the Pure Land of Bliss, the Three Mountains and Ten Islands can all accept my master's gifts. As for the Four Seas Dragon Palace, the Fengdu Netherworld, and Mount Tai, none of them can bear my family's incense!"

Qingfeng circled in the hall, looked at Yanxia, raised his head and boasted:

"The Three Pure Ones are my master's friends, the Four Imperial Concubines are my master's old acquaintances. The Nine Lights are my master's juniors, and Yuan Chen is my master's guest!"

"My family is the ancestral line of all the earthly immortals in the world. Even the Three Pure Ones, the Four Emperors, and the Western Buddhas have to give us some respect. True Man, although you have reached the level of the Returning Pill, you are far from qualified. It would be better if you could ask your ancestor to come here!"

"It's good to be able to exchange gold for gold. The Immortal came empty-handed, and the Lion asked for my master to accompany him. This is really like making a living by cooking bacon with cabbage. My family is just making a profit. If we tell the Immortal, we might even get scolded."

An Yanxia didn't get angry after hearing this, and said politely, "I've also prepared a gift, I just hope you can give me some advice."

"Oh my, our medicine is almost ready..."

"Real people please go back!"

Qingfeng Mingyue didn't even bother to say a few words of courtesy and was about to leave the guest.

What a rude couple of fairy boys.

This is on Penglai Fairy Island, not in his Wuzhuang Temple!

Yan Xia showed full courtesy, but the two smiled and said they still needed to make pills. From their words, it was clear that they didn't want to receive her.

Seeing that the two fairy boys were rude, the girl didn't hesitate and took away the entire set of tea sets, fruit plates, and pots of elixirs, leaving nothing behind.

Too lazy to argue with Qingfeng Mingyue, Yanxia Tengyun headed west, intending to go directly to Yingzhou Fairy Island to file a complaint with Zhenyuan Daxian.

After she left, Qingfeng Mingyue patted his chest repeatedly and panted:

"Scared to death!"

"Yes, that's really scary. I heard that was the demon king who massacred everyone in the Qinglong Temple. Luckily, he didn't kill us too."

"Oh, it's also the Immortal's fault! Why did he have to reject An Yanxia? Our family's martial arts are not secretive, so what if he teaches her a few tricks?"

While Qingfeng and Mingyue were chattering away, a cloud of auspiciousness flew in from outside, with a Taoist priest wearing a purple-gold crown standing on it.

They both quickly shut up and said respectfully, "Greetings, Master!"

Zhen Yuanzi smiled and said, "Is An Yanxia gone?"

Qing Feng also laughed and said, "He went west. He must have gone to Yingzhou to complain to you."

"What a naughty monkey An Yanxia is!"
