Chapter 84: Sorting Out Various Matters of the Daoist Field and Setting Off for the Place of Inheritance
Spring departs and autumn arrives, passing through several winters and summers.
On Cangmang Mountain, sounds shake the midnight rain, and leaves accumulate the frost of yesterday.
Falling clouds swirl around the cries of cranes, and jade-like herbs bloom with fragrance.
On Fragrance-Condensing Peak, Hu Qiuyue is holding a pure vase, humming a melody, and collecting droplets of flower dew.
These dewdrops are entirely condensed from the Dao Rhyme and spiritual Qi rising from the mountains, mixed with the fresh scents of various spiritual flowers and exotic herbs; they are most suitable for refining into fragrant dew.
She dances gracefully amidst the mountains, her skirt fluttering, the light and shadow beneath her feet bright and white, swaying and rocking, with faint, clear sounds.
After a long while, the light of dawn rises slowly, and the morning sun strikes the bamboo and trees, creating a expanse of golden ripples.
Under the radiance, the flower dew dissipates, turning into clouds and mist, thick and hazy, with fragrance overflowing, soaking into the hem of her skirt.
Hu Qiuyue gathers the pure vase, shrinks it to a small size, holds it in her hand, and with cloud light manifesting beneath her feet, she heads toward Motian Cliff.
The sea of clouds is vast, and the mountain peaks look like hair buns.
Hu Qiuyue follows the small path, enters Longying Cave, and heads toward the palace where Fang Longye resides within this Sumeru Space.
Seven years have passed since that old turtle was beaten black and blue by Qingli and finally escaped the awkward situation of Fang Longye's Daoist field.
During these seven years, Fang Longye used Hu Qiuyue as a promotional example to recruit a batch of low-level demon immortals from the Yuyang Yaofang.
It finally prevented the middle ranks of the entire Cangmang Mountain force from being completely occupied by the Water Tribe army provided by the North Sea Longgong.
With Fang Longye backing him, Luming carried out drastic reforms, repeatedly breaking up and reorganizing all the cultivators under his command, much like training soldiers in the mortal world.
He completely erased the Longgong brand from those three thousand soldiers and generals from the North Sea Longgong, effectively making them his own.
Now, after seven years of integration, the forces under Fang Longye can finally be considered a solid, unified block.
In this process, Hu Qiuyue has also fulfilled her mission and returned to Fang Longye's side.
After all, given the current relationship between Fang Longye and the North Sea Longgong, if he really needs to get something done at the Yuyang Yaofang, he can just order that old turtle around.
The garden hides greenery, and vines grow beneath the rocks.
Hu Qiuyue walks through this palace garden, heading toward a small lake.
The cry of a crane comes from the sky, clear and bright, rippling across the water of the lake, with the bright moon reflected within, layers of ripples overlapping.
The surrounding trees are lush, intertwining with the color of the stones, reflecting into the lake.
The lake light, moonlight, and the essence of the stones complement each other.
But after turning a corner, the scene that meets her eyes makes Hu Qiuyue's smile vanish instantly.
Bamboo and rocks blend in the twilight, and weeping willows form shade by the lake.
Beneath the willow shade, there is a small table with a teapot, the tea fragrance is thick, and Fang Longye is leaning on a vine chair.
Opposite him is a woman who looks even more pure yet no less charming than her; she has small, bright red coral-like horns on her head, is dressed in a floral palace gown embroidered with dragon patterns and scales, and decorated with wind, rain, and thunder, and is respectfully pouring tea for him.
Willows by the lake, a person under the willows, tea in the cup, and evening clouds drifting slowly.
The entire scene is exceptionally exquisite and beautiful.
Unfortunately, in Hu Qiuyue's eyes, it is exceptionally eyesore.
"Vixen!" she curses inwardly.
This is different from Qingli's dislike for these Dragonnu.
Qingli dislikes them because these Dragonnu, who were sent here to be slaves and maids, are painstakingly scheming for the very position she currently holds. The two sides are pure competitors.
Qingli truly did not expect the North Sea Dragon King to be so shameless; unable to climb up to be Fang Longye's father-in-law, he resorted to this trick, competing with a little snake demon like her, who has no background, for the position of "head maid" by Fang Longye's side.
To think he is a dignified Dragon King of the Four Seas! He really has no shame at all~ The reason for Hu Qiuyue's dislike is entirely because she herself has spent seven years and still hasn't climbed into Fang Longye's bed. Nowadays, it is not that Fang Longye is still wary of her great-grandmother, but purely that he is teasing her out of a perverse sense of humor.
"Young Master, why did you call for me?"
After collecting the flower dew, she had originally intended to return to her residence to refine the fragrant dew.
But as soon as she finished collecting the dew, she heard Fang Longye's voice transmission to her, so she naturally came over with joy in her heart.
"You've been in charge for a few days, are you happy?"
"Ah? Just for this?" Hu Qiuyue says with a look of disappointment.
"What, not happy? Even six True Immortals have to listen to the orders of a Yuan Immortal like you!"
"Young Master, has that little girl Jinghuan finally stabilized her Yuan Immortal realm?" Through these years of getting along, she has also learned about Jinghuan's situation.
"Little girl? She is older than you, alright?" Fang Longye says with a laugh. After giving instructions on what she should pay attention to after he leaves the Daoist field, he immediately dismissed her along with the True Immortal-realm Dragonnu who was pouring tea.
Taking a sip of fragrant tea, Fang Longye carefully contemplates the accumulation of these past few years.
Aside from sorting out subordinate relationships and stabilizing the foundation of his forces, Fang Longye has been focusing on strengthening the cultivation of the Five Qi in his chest.
As for these Dragonnu, he really has no time, nor the heart, to touch them. Just as Tang Seng said: "My primordial yang is a supreme treasure, how can it be easily given to others?"
The current him is no longer a life of no consequence. Compared to the airs he put on in the Small World, he has grown much more.
As for the sorting of the gift list from the North Sea Longgong, it is even more difficult to describe in a word.
Looking at the gift list, it is long and flowery, and it feels like quite a lot. But when examined closely, apart from that large group of people, the North Sea Longgong's gifts in terms of wealth are really not very generous compared to his current force.
Aside from some Five Elements spiritual objects that assist in the cultivation of the Five Qi, there are only some divine materials for forging divine weapons.
Then there are some formations and a rare treasure for nourishing and refining a Cave Abode.
In terms of divine abilities, there are quite a few, but there is only one Great Divine Ability, "Seeing Through Walls and Barriers."
He exchanged it for another Great Divine Ability, "Wheeling Creation." This is a top-tier Great Divine Ability.
Although he knows that even if he attains the Dao of Daluo, he might not necessarily be able to fully master it, after all, this divine ability is Nuwa's specialty.
But possessing the Creation Divine Fire, it shouldn't be too difficult for him to just enter the threshold of this divine ability. The most critical point is, this is an opportunity to further entangle himself with Nuwa.
The sooner he gets it, the better.
In terms of Spirit Treasures, this North Sea Dragon King was rarely generous, providing the Superior Post-Heaven Spirit Treasure, the Longyin Bell, with thirty-two layers of Post-Heaven Divine Prohibitions, primarily for sonic attacks.
Of course, bell-shaped Dharma Treasures are generally quite useful for smashing people.
"Now, the Five Qi in my chest, I dare not say there is no room for further progress, but while maintaining that extremely pure quality, I can be considered to have entered the hall in terms of the abundance of quantity."
The next step in cultivation is to find ways to seek out Innate Spiritual Objects.
And in this process, it is about enhancing weapons and Spirit Treasures, cultivating divine abilities, and continuing the cultivation of the Bloodline.
Regarding weapons, there are divine materials gifted by the North Sea Longgong; logically, it should already be possible to upgrade them once.
However, Fang Longye is deliberately saving them, preparing to continue entrusting the work of forging divine weapons to Junyuan in the Yuyang Yaofang.
Because Fang Longye covets this talent and wants to win over this master refiner by bestowing favors.
And what kind of favor could compare to helping him ascend to the Golden Immortal Realm?
In any case, regarding strength, he has Spirit Treasures as a guarantee, so for the time being, it really does not matter if he does not upgrade his divine weapon.
Just as he was pondering, a subtle fluctuation arrived.
Fang Longye revealed a smile: "As expected, my calculations were correct; Jinghuan is indeed coming out of seclusion today."
Nowadays, he can also be considered to have begun to shallowly dabble in the study of deducing Heavenly Secrets.
After all, no one wants to be blind to the world.
……
Three days later, Cangmang Mountain.
A Treasure Chariot hovered in the air; it was precisely a gift previously bestowed by the North Sea Longgong, a Spirit Treasure-level carriage.
In front of the chariot, water ripples shimmered, spreading out in mid-air.
The exotic beast that had been gifted along with the chariot previously was clearly in sight.
Its appearance resembled a qilin, with a dragon's mouth, lion's head, fish scales, ox tail, tiger claws, and deer antlers; its entire body was crimson red, stepping on golden light that bloomed like flowers.
The Bishui Jinjing Beast—it is a beast specially cultivated by the Dragon Clan, which can serve as a mount for riding or as a beast of burden for pulling a carriage.
It is not exclusive to Niu Mowang.
Fang Longye instructed Hu Qiuyue and Luming, who had approached: "I have already given you, Qiuyue, the authority to operate the dojo's array. You should just listen to Luming's opinions more often."
"Rest assured, Young Master, it is not as if I lack the experience of being a Mountain Lord," Hu Qiuyue said, patting her chest.
Fang Longye laughed: "That is right, I had forgotten; you were once a Fox King yourself. It seems I, your Young Master, underestimated you."
"In any case, if you really encounter any difficult matters to resolve, you may find those five True Immortal Realm Longnu, or find General Jinglong. I have already entrusted them with this previously."
After all sorts of exhortations, he smiled and signaled to the many subordinates not far away, then boarded the Treasure Chariot.
Taking Qingli and Jinghuan, he immediately left the dojo and headed toward the inheritance site of the Golden Immortal Realm Green Jade Sword Butterfly that Qingli had pointed out.
