Chapter 422: Uncle asks to drink tea, Bi Xiao contemplates

"Paying respects to Master, Uncle." Gu Xiu steps forward to greet them.

"Gu Xiu, why are you here? Is there something the matter?" Yun Xiao nods slightly and says gently.

Fairy Bi Xiao is dressed in light blue neon clothes, her expression slightly lively, her eyes bright and spirited: "Could it be that you also intend to come and listen to Big Sister explain her insights on cultivation to me?"

Gu Xiu shakes his head, a humble smile on his face.

"Uncle, it is not so. I just know that during this period, in order to help Uncle find the opportunity for a breakthrough, Master has been explaining her insights and experiences on cultivation for Uncle to contemplate."

"It just so happens that I obtained a heavenly material and earthly treasure a few days ago, which helps to improve comprehension and makes it easier to enter a state of sudden enlightenment. Maybe it can help Uncle."

Bi Xiao's eyes suddenly light up, her bright eyes full of expectation: "Not bad, knowing how to show filial piety to your Uncle, it was not in vain that I, your Uncle, have been helping you beat up the Chan Sect Golden Immortals before. But what kind of good thing is it?"

"It's not really any good thing, just some Bodhi leaves." Gu Xiu responds with a smile.

"Bodhi leaves?" Bi Xiao shows curiosity and begins to search for information about Bodhi leaves in her mind.

Seeing this, Yun Xiao on the side speaks: "Bodhi leaves indeed have the effect of helping people improve comprehension and contemplate the Dao Dharma, but Third Sister is a Da Luo Golden Immortal, so the effect might be minimal."

Gu Xiu smiles slightly and says unhurriedly: "Master is talking about leaves from ordinary Bodhi trees, which naturally would be difficult to help Uncle. But if the leaves in my hands are from the Bodhi mother tree of the top ten innate spiritual roots, then that naturally is a different matter."

Hearing Gu Xiu's words, Yun Xiao is slightly stunned, a look of surprise appearing on her beautiful face.

"The original Bodhi mother tree has already been refined by Saint Zhunti into his enlightenment magic treasure, the Seven-Treasure Wonderful Tree. Are you sure you didn't say it wrong?"

Bi Xiao also nods along, pouting: "That's right, would a Saint be willing to take some leaves from his own body for you?"

Facing the doubts of the two, Gu Xiu smiles calmly and says the reason he had prepared.

"Master, Uncle, top-grade innate spiritual roots are rare, but the Primordial world is vast, and there is not only one Bodhi mother tree that can rank among the top-grade innate spiritual roots. Don't forget that I previously got my hands on the Flat Peach tree and the Ginseng Fruit tree."

Reminded of this, Yun Xiao and Bi Xiao suddenly remember that they had questioned him before.

But Gu Xiu really did get the Flat Peach tree and the Ginseng Fruit tree, and even planted them on the Three Immortals Island.

Yun Xiao nods gently and says with relief: "That's true. Master forgot that your opportunities and creations are too special. You even planted the Ginseng Fruit and Flat Peach trees on the Three Immortals Island. It is not strange to obtain leaves from the Bodhi tree of the top ten innate spiritual roots."

Bi Xiao's eyes flow, thinking of the various opportunities and creations on Gu Xiu, and she echoes: "Big Sister, I almost forgot if you didn't mention it. Gu Xiu's fortune is excellent, and he always gets opportunities and creations when he goes out to travel."

Gu Xiu smiles slightly and takes out a jar containing dozens of Bodhi leaves.

"Here are the Bodhi leaves. Since Master is explaining cultivation insights to Uncle, why not use it to brew tea? It will be better to help Uncle contemplate the Dao."

As he speaks, Gu Xiu opens the jade jar, and immediately, the secluded fragrance of the Bodhi leaves permeates the air, lingering in the pavilion.

Yun Xiao's gaze falls on the glistening and emerald green Bodhi leaves in the jar, with Dao rhyme flowing on the leaves.

She praises:

"It is worthy of being the leaves of the innate spiritual root Bodhi tree, actually containing such rich Dao rhyme. I hope you, Third Sister, can successfully find the opportunity for a breakthrough with the help of the Bodhi leaves."

Knowing that Yun Xiao has been very concerned for her cultivation, Bi Xiao is full of emotion.

She steps forward, as if to hold Yun Xiao's arm, and acts like a spoiled child: "Big Sister, rest assured, I will definitely try my best to contemplate."

Yun Xiao smiles and nods, saying gently: "Don't force yourself, just treat it with a normal heart."

Having said that, Yun Xiao moves her lotus steps gently, walks to the stone table in the pavilion, and waves her hand, and a set of tea sets appears on the table.

Yun Xiao takes the jar containing Bodhi leaves handed over by Gu Xiu, skillfully takes a Bodhi leaf, puts it into the exquisite teacup, and pours in the boiled spiritual spring water.

In an instant, the tea fragrance overflows.

"Third Sister, you taste it."

Hearing this, Bi Xiao picks up the teacup and takes a light sip.

The tea water enters her mouth, first a sense of coolness, followed by a sense of sweetness spreading on the tip of her tongue, turning into a stream of spiritual rhyme, flowing slowly down her throat, nourishing her whole body's meridians.

Putting down the teacup, Bi Xiao speaks slowly: "These Bodhi leaves are indeed magical. I feel that my thoughts have become exceptionally clear. The cultivation insights that Big Sister just explained are now even more thorough in my mind, no longer obscure and difficult."

Yun Xiao explains: "This Bodhi tree is originally a famous tree of enlightenment. Its leaves can naturally make people more easily understand the Dao. Since you have this opportunity, Third Sister, you must grasp it well."

Bi Xiao nods, closes her eyes slightly, and carefully feels the wonderful effect brought by the Bodhi leaves. Her expression gradually becomes focused and solemn, and the surrounding immortal spiritual energy seems to be attracted by some kind of pull, beginning to slowly gather toward Bi Xiao.

After a while, Bi Xiao opens her eyes slowly: "Big Sister, I seem to have some insights and want to contemplate for a while."

"Okay, then you concentrate on contemplating. Big Sister will protect you."

Bi Xiao nods, no longer as playful as before, her expression slightly condensed, and she sits cross-legged on the side.

Soon she falls into a state of sudden enlightenment.

On the other side.

Western Qi.

Kong Xuan leaves Golden Chicken Ridge.

Huang Feihu makes simple deployments at Golden Chicken Ridge and then waits for Jiang Ziya's next attack.

He has long had a plan in his heart: if it is really difficult to resist the offensive of the Western Qi army, he will retreat to Si Shui Pass.

A few days later, Jiang Ziya leads the army to arrive as scheduled.

Daoist Randeng, Guang Chengzi, and others also return from Mount Kunlun, intending to take action at any time to assist, so as to ensure that the Investiture of the Gods proceeds smoothly.

However, the army presses on the border, but Kong Xuan's figure is never seen.

Worried about a trap, Daoist Randeng sends Jiang Ziya forward to inquire.

Jiang Ziya receives the order, urges the Four-Unlike under his crotch, and slowly moves forward. When he gets close to the front of the formation, he asks loudly: "King Wucheng, why is Kong Xuan not seen?"

Huang Feihu's expression is cold, and he responds coldly: "With me alone here, it is enough to deal with it."

The reason Huang Feihu chooses to hold his ground here without immediately withdrawing the army is that as a mortal military general, he understands in his heart that those high and lofty Saints naturally disdain to take action against him.

What he has to face is the Western Qi army led by Jiang Ziya.

Although Huang Feihu does not say it explicitly, the Western Qi side also roughly knows that Kong Xuan is not there.

Jiang Ziya retreats and reports to Daoist Randeng.

"Teacher Randeng, that Kong Xuan does not know the reason, but he seems to be absent."

Daoist Randeng frowns slightly.

"Since Kong Xuan is not here, Ziya, you will be fully responsible for the matter of attacking Shang."

Jiang Ziya bows slightly: "Ziya accepts the order."

Following that, Jiang Ziya rides the Four-Unlike to the front of the formation again.

He looks at Huang Feihu and speaks.

"King Wucheng, Di Xin is dim-witted and lawless, licentious and tyrannical, and the common people are miserable. A hero like you really should not help the tyrant, plunging the people into deep water and scorching fire. My Western Qi's attack on Shang is a matter of heaven's mandate. If you follow heaven's mandate and surrender to my Western Qi, the position of King Wucheng will still be yours, and you can work with us to overthrow Cheng Tang and save the common people of the world from being hung upside down." ===== CHAPTER 423 =====
