Chapter 13

The two landed on Shouyin Mountain. This Shouyin Mountain was strangely extraordinary. From time to time, clouds of various colors landed on the mountain, and clouds of various strange shapes floated out from the mountain.

"Shouyin Mountain is also known as Cloud Nest, just like your Mingzhi Mountain is also called Qing Shen Mountain. The latter is often the false name for the sect when we walk anonymously outside."

The closer he got to Shouyin Mountain, the more Cheng Yunqi felt that he was in a pool soaked in various pigments.

The two people's cloud landed on a ferry on the mountain called Gao Liu. Here, weeping willows formed a forest, and thousands of green silk threads floated, looking like a green cloud from afar.

Luo Wanhua took Cheng Yunqi and walked toward the depths of the weeping willow forest.

"What kind of cloud do you want?"

The two said while walking.

"What kind of cloud?", Cheng Yunqi shook his head; he didn't know.

"For example, the Five Elements? Which of the Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth attributes do you lean toward? For example, flying, do you want to fly high or fly fast? For example, efficacy, do you want one that gathers spiritual energy or one that hides your figure?"

Cheng Yunqi didn't expect there to be so many requirements.

He thought for a while, "Fire attribute, I suppose. The Master intends for me to first open the Heart Mansion, and the Heart Mansion belongs to Fire. As for flying high or flying fast, I still prefer flying higher. As for other efficacies, I still have to look at the price. Hmm, I hope the price of this cloud does not exceed one or two Zhu gold."

Luo Wanhua listened carefully, then thought for a while, and clapped his hands and laughed, "Got it! What a coincidence."

He looked at Cheng Yunqi and asked: "Yunqi, can you trust me? If you trust me, let's not go shopping in the Cloud Market first. I have a senior sister who is planning to sell a cloud. You come with me to see her and see how her cloud is?"

Cheng Yunqi smiled and nodded, "We are all fellow disciples, how can I not trust you?"

Luo Wanhua smiled, and only then explained in detail:

"This person I know is of the 'Ji' generation, with the Daoist name 'Xuan'. She is the inner disciple of my registered Master. I privately call her Senior Sister, but in fact, I am not qualified enough. I have not yet opened the mansion, but she has already opened both the heart and lungs, and has already achieved the power of 'igniting fire and melting gold'!"

"Amazing!"

Cheng Yunqi echoed.

"Senior Sister Jixuan just happened to be planning to weave her second cloud these days. It is truly a coincidence; it is her opportunity, and it is also your opportunity."

"Due to some reasons, Senior Sister plans to change from specializing in Fire to Metal. The first cloud she wove was a fire-burning cloud, using many good materials. It is Fire-attribute and flies high, which just meets your requirements. She is now in a hurry to buy spiritual materials to make a new cloud, so the price of one gold might be negotiated down."

Cheng Yunqi was very satisfied listening.

The two went around and came to a cave dwelling.

Luo Wanhua activated the sound transmission restriction on the door of the cave dwelling.

"Sister Jixuan, I am Wanhua. Do you have any free time now?"

"Nothing, come in."

A female voice came from the cave dwelling, and then the door opened.

A female Daoist priest was sitting in front of a very large loom, holding a golden shuttle in her hand. In the cave dwelling, layers of clouds were stacked and piled up, like cotton.

Luo Wanhua introduced: "Sister Jixuan, this is Cheng Yunqi, a newcomer from our Lantern Street, registered in Mingzhi Mountain. Although he is not big, his reputation has already resounded. Yunqi was taught by Master Sukong and consumed Qi in six breaths."

Upon hearing this, Pu Jixuan's eyes lit up, and the light was as bright as the golden shuttle in her hand, "So you are the person who consumed Qi in six breaths."

Luo Wanhua said to Cheng Yunqi again, "This is Daoist Jixuan."

Cheng Yunqi performed a salute, "I have met Daoist Jixuan."

Pu Jixuan nodded and asked Luo Wanhua again, "What are you looking for me for?" "Sister Jixuan, Yunqi intends to buy a cloud, and I recommended your cloud to him."

"Oh?", the light in the female Daoist's eyes became brighter, and her face also had a smile, "That cloud of mine is not cheap. You haven't opened the mansion yet, where did you get the money?"

Luo Wanhua also smiled and replied, "He consumed Qi in six breaths and made the Nandou List, ranking fifth. The Metropolitan Teaching Court naturally has a reward of gold."

Pu Jixuan's action of weaving the cloud stopped, and she looked at Cheng Yunqi, "That is truly great. How much are you willing to pay?"

Cheng Yunqi said, "Can I see the cloud frame first?"

Pu Jixuan smiled and said, "That is natural."

I saw a red peony embroidery thread on the female Daoist's robe suddenly fall off and dart out, falling to the ground. The red thread turned into red smoke upon landing. The smoke rose and gathered, becoming a red-glittering cloud, dyeing the stone walls of the cave dwelling with red light, like the sunset in the sky.

The female Daoist pointed, and the red cloud floated under Cheng Yunqi's feet. The red cloud rose, and Cheng Yunqi was also lifted up. Being in the cloud was like stepping on cotton, and his body felt warm, which was very comfortable.

Pu Jixuan directed the cloud to put Cheng Yunqi down. The red cloud suddenly changed, turning into a red thread ball. The thread end pounced on Cheng Yunqi's robe. In the blink of an eye, the red thread embroidered a red coiled dragon pattern on the left chest of Cheng Yunqi's robe.

Cheng Yunqi immediately felt his heart acupoint become warm, having the feeling of consuming Fire Qi for the first time yesterday. He touched the dragon pattern on his clothes, which was slightly hot, and he nodded with satisfaction.

"You can find me here, I think Wanhua must have told you about my cloud. I call this cloud 'Zhu Sha'. As for what it will be called in the future, that is your business."

=9+Shu_ba

"Zhu Sha is a fire-burning cloud, Fire-attribute, light and agile. Flying to the First Heaven is no problem, and traveling a thousand miles a day is also a matter of course. When put away, it can be turned into the style on the dharma robe, echoing with the Heart Mansion. The Heart Mansion is baked and smoked by the fire cloud, and the fire cloud is nourished by the heart blood, which is beneficial to both the object and me."

"I wonder if one or two Zhu gold can make the Daoist part with it?"

Pu Jixuan laughed dumbfoundedly, "The base material of my Zhu Sha is taken from the sunset after the summer thunderstorm, which is the most transparent and light. And the sunset is agile and extremely difficult to capture. Just catching this base material took me several years."

"After catching it, I passed it through the cloud-weaving machine for a full six thousand shuttles before it took shape. During this period, it was supplemented by the crown hair of the blood dandelion, the wing feathers of the crested ibis, the spider silk of the fire wolf spider, the heart blood of the Meishan red deer, and other precious materials. The cost spent is more than ten gold!"

"Even if it is an old thing I have used, one gold is too little, don't mention it again!"

"Eh, Sister Jixuan."

Luo Wanhua opened his mouth again, looking calm and composed,

"You shouldn't bully Yunqi for not understanding. Your cloud frame is indeed good. Don't say ten gold, even if you say double, I believe it."

"But the account is not calculated like this. You spent a lot of time and money, but what you got is not just this cloud frame. Opening the Fire Mansion, sensing the Fire attribute, weaving cloud techniques, flying to heaven and escaping to earth—these things have no reason for my Yunqi to pay for!"

Daoist Jixuan said shamefully and angrily: "Good you, Luo Wanhua, actually helping outsiders to scold me. I think you have forgotten how I treated you all these years!"

"Fine, you say my Zhu Sha is not worth ten gold, but if it is only sold for one gold, who am I selling to if not selling? Later, I will let the word out. You watch, the people who want to buy Zhu Sha will have to line up to Zhongling Mountain!"

Daoist Jixuan was anxious, which made Cheng Yunqi feel quite embarrassed. After listening, he himself felt that one gold was indeed less.

However, Luo Wanhua still looked confident. He shook his head and said slowly:

"My good sister, Yunqi is not an outsider. Yunqi was personally led into the sect by Daoist Brother Jihu!"

"Daoist Brother Jihu also specifically instructed us to take good care of him. Now, he lives in that room in Daoist Brother Jihu's Bingchen Courtyard!"

Daoist Jixuan was stunned upon hearing this, and then even angrier, her tone even more urgent, "Why do you mention him? That heartless person, rushing out of the sect, didn't even notify me before leaving!"

Luo Wanhua chuckled and didn't answer.

Daoist Jixuan suddenly restrained her anger, coughed lightly, and said, "Since that's the case, one gold is one gold. If you have any doubts about driving the cloud in the future, you can come to find me. You were brought into the sect by him, so you must cultivate well. Hmm, you made the Nandou List by consuming Qi, which is not bad, hee hee."

Cheng Yunqi widened his eyes. Ever since Luo Wanhua said the name of Daoist Brother Jihu, this female Daoist had simply become a different person.

The new book is presented. I hope everyone will leave more messages and comments.
