Chapter 63: Daojun Fu Yu Lake

The sky was gradually dusk, and ten thousand rays of rosy light spread out. The red light was curling and lingering, rippling and changing, deep and beautiful, like a piece of precious silk, so beautiful that people couldn't bear to look away.

And the person on the meditation cushion not far away was also as beautiful as clouds.

Hearing Wei Lingjiang's voice, Chen Hang glanced sideways, his expression as flat as ever, without any change.

"You—"

"The Daoist art will not be returned, Senior Sister don't think about it."

When he said this, his tone was also without waves, like an old well and spring that had been dry for a long time, naturally unable to raise any waves.

Wei Lingjiang was speechless for a while, couldn't help but roll her eyes at Chen Hang again, her beautiful fingers under her sleeves clenched into fists, and her blood surged.

Since she was born, she was taken back to the mountain gate of the Chi Ming Sect by the Zhu Jing Daoist, and has been sitting and practicing in the Fan Dongtian. Even during the New Year, she rarely went down the mountain to play.

Therefore, besides her fellow disciples, she was in contact with various attendants, Dao soldiers, and spiritual beasts.

In front of her, everyone was humble and polite or respectful.

Even the elders of the sect, looking at her family background and aptitude, had a friendly attitude.

When have you seen someone like Chen Hang?

Simply eating soft and hard, only profit-seeking, without any demeanor, it is truly hateful and annoying!

"I didn't want to talk to you about Daoist arts!"

Wei Lingjiang had no expression, transmitted the sound: "Don't you think it's strange? Why did that group of Heavenly Demon tides stare at us? They are locusts, living by spirit. The Southern Territory is so vast, why must it be us?"

"What does Senior Sister mean?"

"I'm just hesitant. Not to mention the ancient array, the Qi layer alone is enough to block Demon Lords and Demon Gods. How did those lower-class Heavenly Demons enter the Southern Territory?"

Wei Lingjiang frowned: "You are also a person in the Southern Territory. Have you ever seen the traces of Heavenly Demons in these years?"

"I haven't. Today is the first time I've seen it with my own eyes."

Chen Hang stood up seriously and asked for advice:

"However, what is the 'Qi layer' that Senior Sister mentioned? What kind of Heavenly Demons are Demon Lords and Demon Gods? Can their cultivation be comparable to Golden Core and Primordial Spirit True Persons?"

"..."

Wei Lingjiang was somewhat helpless, knowing that she was asking a blind person.

She had the heart to end this topic, but looking at those deep and dark eyes, she still turned her face away faintly, didn't look at him, and answered all his doubts from beginning to end.

After finishing, Chen Hang bowed and sat down again, his eyebrows frowned slightly, showing a look of contemplation.

"Why is this kid arrogant first and then respectful!"

At this moment.

The girl in green clothes, who was lying flat on a meditation cushion sleeping, suddenly shook, as if she keenly sensed that a good show was about to be seen, and rolled up suddenly.

She looked at Wei Lingjiang, then at Chen Hang, her eyes rolled, and she deliberately put her hands on her hips and shouted:

"You have always been distant from my lady, and only when you want to solve puzzles will you be a little enthusiastic. It's so cold! The storybook calls you this kind of person, called... wait, what is it

She scratched her chubby face and cast a look toward Wei Lingjiang for help, but received no response.

She could only turn back to Chen Hang and touch her head in distress.

"Sitting in the lap without disorder, broad in learning and restrained by ritual—you must be talking about a gentleman, right?"

Chen Hang said casually.

"To be honest, you are truly shameless... You didn't change your expression when saying these words, and you didn't feel ashamed at all."

The green-clad girl gave him a thumbs-up in admiration: "I don't know about being broad in learning and restrained by ritual, but whether you can sit in the lap without disorder is another matter. We have to wait until the Young Lady actually sits in your lap—"

Before she could finish.

Her forehead was hit hard, and tears instantly sprang from the corners of her eyes from the pain!

The green-clad girl hugged her head and squatted down in grievance. When she raised her eyes resentfully, she saw Wei Lingjiang calmly withdrawing her hand.

"Spirit bodies are just inconvenient! If my true body were here, even if the Young Lady beat me to death like she usually does, it wouldn't hurt at all! It doesn't hurt! It doesn't hurt at all!"

The green-clad girl screamed in her heart.

At this time.

Through her teary eyes, she keenly caught a glimpse of the jade-like whiteness behind Wei Lingjiang's ears, which, imperceptibly, was gradually stained with a peach-blossom-like crimson.

"..."

The green-clad girl stared in a daze, and only seemed to wake up from a dream after Wei Lingjiang glared at her unkindly.

"Hahahaha! Is the Young Lady shy? Fun! This is too fun!"

She didn't even want to wipe her tears, and no longer lay on the ground pretending to be pitiful. With a loud laugh, she jumped up again and happily slipped to Chen Hang's side.

"What do you think of my Young Lady?"

The green-clad girl patted his shoulder intimately and said kindly: "Young people should be bolder. If you don't speak your mind, how can others know? And—"

She spoke extremely fast, like a chubby sparrow chirping in his ear, noisy and annoying.

Chen Hang released the talisman money he was holding under his sleeve and shook his head, stopping his absorption of spiritual energy.

He had the intention to blast the green-clad girl away to avoid her hindering his cultivation.

But what this person said before made sense. He had gained a great divine ability for nothing and received quite a bit of guidance for no reason. Acting like that would indeed be cold-blooded and too heartless.

"Senior Sister cleared my doubts and passed on her divine ability to me. Naturally, I have only respect and love for her, and I dare not profane her in the slightest."

Chen Hang said calmly: "If you continue to talk, I'm afraid that after getting off this Jin Xia flying boat, you will inevitably be taught a lesson by Senior Sister and suffer some physical pain."

"Respect and love, love, love, you love my Young Lady... Hahahahaha!"

The green-clad girl laughed until her eyes narrowed into slits, rolling around on the ground happily like a rolling gourd, not hearing the second half of Chen Hang's words at all.

"Senior Sister is quite tolerant."

Chen Hang smiled, his voice calm.

"She was not smart when she was born, and she has been stupid until now. Are you the same?"

Wei Lingjiang looked at Chen Hang without a trace of emotion:

"Those who talk to fools are naturally fools themselves. Seeing you chatting so enthusiastically with her, I will have to be more tolerant toward Chen Chen Shidi in the future and treat you the same as her."

"Thank you, but Senior Sister has already been tolerant enough toward me..."

Chen Hang quietly raised his eyelids, a hint of a smile hanging on his lips.

In the crimson twilight, the young man with dark hair and jade-like features, as elegant as an immortal, was looking over with a smile. He sat straight, his figure tall and slender, dressed in white like snow, making people feel as if they were seeing a towering jade mountain.

His brows always carried a sense of detachment and indifference, like the heavy cold dew of early spring. Just looking at his expression made him hard to approach.

Now that he rarely showed a smile, it was as if the snow on the spring mountain was melting, revealing a silent warmth that made people unconsciously intoxicated.

Wei Lingjiang looked at him for a moment, snorted coldly in her heart, and remained unmoved:

"Even if you say it nicely, you still owe me a favor, don't think you can muddle through!"

"Chen Chen Shidi naturally dares not forget."

Chen Hang cupped his hands.

At this time, the green-clad girl's laughter grew louder and louder, shaking the cabin, and while rolling, she muttered words like "eloping" and "son-in-law," making Wei Lingjiang's nameless fire rise.

Even the Floating Jade Lake Daoist operating the Jin Xia flying boat couldn't help but glance over, wanting to turn around to watch the fun several times, but it would be impolite, so he forcibly restrained himself, a faint smile on his face.

Wei Lingjiang pursed her lips and flicked her hand lightly.

The next moment, the green-clad girl's laughter quickly turned into cries of pain and pleas for mercy. When she angrily lay on the meditation cushion to sulk, the flying boat finally became quiet.

Chen Hang smiled at this and didn't want to say more.

He just closed his eyes, continued to hold the talisman money under his sleeve, and slowly extracted the remaining spiritual energy, refining it into his own embryonic breathing.

Even though the "Tai Shi Yuan Zhen" required a lot of embryonic breathing.

Every promotion in the Qi Cultivation Realm required a huge amount of embryonic breathing.

But after this period of cultivation, although most of the spiritual energy was used on the Tai Su Jade Body, he was not far from breaking through to the fourth layer of Qi Cultivation, only one step away.

As soon as the spiritual energy in the talisman money was absorbed into his body, a warm, gentle heat flowed through Chen Hang's limbs and bones, making his whole body feel spirited, as if all fatigue had vanished.

But if this spiritual energy was not refined into his own embryonic breathing using the Qi Cultivation method as soon as possible, it would leak out of his body, return to heaven and earth, and become one of the 129,600 types of spiritual mechanisms, never to exist again.

This is also the reason why one must be focused when cultivating Qi—

Many Qi cultivators who failed to subdue their "heart-monkey" and "will-horse" and had mixed thoughts were not only exhausted during the Qi-gathering stage but also suffered the same fatigue during Qi cultivation.

Often, with a single lapse in concentration, the hard-earned spiritual energy of heaven and earth would leak out of the body before it could be refined, wasting all his hard work.

Therefore, although the Qi Cultivation Realm is the simplest realm in Immortal Dao cultivation, as long as there is enough embryonic breathing, one can be promoted layer by layer.

But those who can be like a fish in water in this realm, while not non-existent, are very few.

Qi-gathering, Qi-cultivation...

These two are the two major obstacles in this realm.

Although the "Tai Shi Yuan Zhen" that Chen Hang studied had no worries about Qi-gathering, and all 129,600 types of spiritual energy could be used by him, it could be called "Dragon-Heaven Clear, All-True General Control"...

But for the obstacle of Qi cultivation, he still practiced in the True Dharma Realm for a long time before he finally subdued his "will-horse" and "heart-monkey," making his thoughts and actions natural and free.

Now, even if he was distracted, he would not make mistakes in the process of Qi cultivation, let alone let the spiritual energy leak out of his body.

Watching a layer of shallow spiritual energy flowing on Chen Hang's face, lingering endlessly, his energy also uncertain, following a mysterious rhythm, as if breathing in and out.

Wei Lingjiang knew he was cultivating Qi now, so she didn't disturb him and closed her bright eyes to enter meditation.

And on the meditation cushion.

The girl pretending to be angry suddenly raised her head. She secretly glanced at the two people sitting quietly and grinned.

Just as she was about to laugh, Wei Lingjiang's voice transmission suddenly made her feel like she had been struck by lightning.

"Qingzhi, if you are naughty again, don't think about eating anything! Not even your true body in the Fan Dongtian! At least fifty years!"

"..."

The green-clad girl named Qingzhi widened her eyes in disbelief. She ran to Wei Lingjiang's side, and after several breaths, seeing that her Young Lady ignored her, she let out a long, infinitely regretful sigh.

"It's really not knowing a good heart. I clearly wanted to help you achieve a good marriage, so why are you getting angry? Sure enough, the Young Lady was cuter when she was stupid as a child. It's not fun when she grows up!"

Qingzhi muttered in a low voice:

"Isn't the Green Bird supposed to help pull the red thread? I feel like the Young Lady will never have a Dao companion in her life, making all my skills useless! It's simply a waste of heaven's gifts!"

Wei Lingjiang's sleeve moved slightly at the right time.

Qingzhi was startled and hurriedly covered her forehead and squatted down.

After a long time, seeing that she wasn't beaten, she jumped onto the meditation cushion in boredom and continued to sleep facing the sky.

One hour later.

The Jin Xia flying boat suddenly shook in mid-air and then slowly lowered its clouds.

This tremor made Chen Hang and Wei Lingjiang open their eyes together and stand up from the meditation cushions.

The Floating Jade Lake Daoist operating the Jin Xia flying boat also walked into the cabin at this time, smiled brightly on his dark face, and solemnly bowed to the two.

"Two fellow Daoists, you have waited a long time. Please look below, Floating Jade Lake has arrived!"

"This... is Floating Jade Lake?"

Chen Hang returned the salute, and when he looked under the clouds, his eyes couldn't help but freeze.

Looking into his eyes, he saw ten thousand acres of blue waves, a vast lake embedded between heaven and earth, with no end in sight. The water was bright and brilliant, and the two banks were lush, low hills and small mountains, green and pleasant.

This was not just a lake; it was like a sea connecting to the sky, vast and extraordinary, like a great ocean!

There were hundreds of islands in the great lake, scattered like stars.

Looking from afar, those islands were already filled with pavilions and towers of various shapes, with flags and other things inserted. At a glance, one knew they were market merchants from various places.

Although the "Golden Valley Market" had not yet been officially built, these islands were already crowded with pedestrians, filling the streets densely.

Flying boats and tower ships also passed through the air from time to time, with light flames rising and falling, flickering, mixed with various laughter, which was very lively.

"The Golden Valley Market will be rebuilt here in half a month. Two fellow Daoists, among the hundreds of islands below, all are merchants and markets that have already moved in. If you need anything, most of it can be found there!"

That Floating Jade Lake Daoist was obviously a bit proud:

"Don't forget the time for the ceremony in half a month! I heard that even many great sects will send people to come. Like the Xuanzhen Sect, Lianyan Mountain, White Crane Cave... This is the first time I've seen so many cultivators gathered in one place, so lively!"

"In my impression, Floating Jade Lake didn't seem to be so vast, right?"

Chen Hang smiled: "Seeing it today, it really opened my eyes."

"Although Floating Jade Lake is large, it is not so vast. It was Master and Mistress who moved away many lands and mountains together to present this beautiful scene."

At this time, the Floating Jade Lake Daoist suddenly patted his head, as if he had suddenly remembered something: "Right! I almost forgot Master's instructions!"

He took out two small wooden boxes from his storage bag and handed them out.

Chen Hang and Wei Lingjiang looked at each other at the same time, silent for a few breaths, but did not take them.

"Without any merit, how can this be?"

Chen Hang cupped his hands and smiled: "Your Master and Brother are too polite. We dare not accept it."
