Chapter 68: Looking at Apricot Blossoms Towards Penglai

~15 min read 2,845 words

The fish was seven feet four inches long, with a round head and a narrow body, a tail like a Ming snake, and no scales on its entire body. It was extremely slippery when held, just like a slippery mud snake.

This was one of the countless Bai Sha Spirit Fish.

Chen Hang watched as it was easily scooped out of the live water by the owner of the fish stall. Although it struggled hard, the young man just pressed hard on its gill fins, and the fish body stiffened, then withered.

From beginning to end.

It had never revealed any divine strangeness...

Like its thousands of kin raised in the water lake.

What was in front of him looked just like an ordinary Bai Sha fish.

After receiving the talisman coins, the young man also looked at Chen Hang with a grin as he put the fish into his Universe bag.

It was indeed a good start today. Although Bai Sha fish can barely be classified as spirit fish, there is not much spiritual energy in their flesh.

Ordinary buyers like its sweet and delicate taste, and even if eaten raw, it has a unique fresh and sweet flavor, all used to satisfy the appetite, but in any case, it is definitely not worth half a talisman coin.

Thinking of this.

The young man felt strange again.

With his temperament, he usually reported the price high, and if the buyer was really interested, he would slowly tear and pull, bargaining with him.

How could he be so thoughtless just now?

He called out half a talisman coin in one breath?

But this regretful thought flashed through his mind and passed, and he soon stopped paying attention.

The money and goods were settled, and no amount of regret was useless. What's more, half a talisman coin was not a loss, and he still had profit.

At this time, another old regular customer who often came to look after him walked over with his belly bulging.

The young man couldn't care about that little hesitation, and hurriedly put a smile on his face, bowing forward to greet him.

Chen Hang, not far away, saw this scene, stood still for a while, and then turned and left.

"High-grade Daoist Art—Innate Great Sun Divine Light. This opportunity came quite strangely. Did I stumble upon it by accident?"

In the street where carriages and horses flowed like a stream, Chen Hang thought silently in his heart:

"Innate Great Sun Divine Light is classified as a high-grade Daoist art. If I really get it, this will be the only high-grade Daoist art I have to protect myself, besides the Extreme Light Great Evasion that I cannot cultivate. However, high-grade Daoist arts are finally close to divine abilities. Although they possess great power, the conditions for cultivation are all harsh, and some require external objects as guides, just like the Extreme Light Great Evasion requires Dry Silver Star Ore to get started. I only hope this divine light..."

At the thought of this, he couldn't help but shake his head slightly.

The Dry Silver Star Ore required for the Extreme Light Great Evasion is already a rare treasure in the world, priceless, and only those high-ranking officials and refiners are qualified to bid for it.

And the Innate Great Sun Divine Light is also in the ranks of high-grade Daoist arts.

If its entry also requires some Yu Yi Dharma Marrow or Great Sun Star Essence as bait, then Chen Hang can only give up.

And just as he was distracted, not far away, a low laugh suddenly sounded.

"So you were playing here, no wonder I didn't see you. It's a pity I went to Red Leaf Island to look for you."

Chen Hang stopped, looked back, and saw an old man with graying hair and a thin figure standing less than twenty steps away, looking at him faintly.

From his appearance, he looked to be about sixty years old, wearing a simple gray long shirt, with dozens of gray long beards hanging down his chest, sparse eyebrows and light eyes, looking like a teacher in a village private school, extremely poor.

But the essence occasionally leaking from his eyes was like two flying electric lights, with a compelling momentum that made people not dare to underestimate him at all.

"Elder Gu Jun."

Chen Hang's pupils shrank slightly the moment he saw him.

But soon, he suppressed the ripple in the depths of his heart, his expression calm as usual, and bowed respectfully to the old man.

"Rest assured, among the three elders of the Profound Heaven Sect, only I came. Yan Feichen is still under the eyes of the sect master and cannot leave Xiao Gan Mountain, and those Yan family members are the same."

Gu Jun said:

"I saw that your energy was different. At first, I doubted whether it was you, until I carefully identified it a few times, and then I was sure there was no mistake."

At this time, he raised his eyes and scanned Chen Hang up and down, suddenly grabbed Chen Hang's wrist.

He checked with profound skills, a trace of imperceptible smile appeared on his face, and then he quickly withdrew his hand.

"Sure enough, you have reached the Qi Cultivation realm. It seems that Zhou Xingling of Bai He Cave did not speak falsely."

Gu Jun nodded with satisfaction and said slowly:

"Chen Hang, you lived in the sect for three years, but you never saw a trace of a cultivation Daoist! You also had no heart for the Dao! Unexpectedly, not long after Yan Zhen died, you broke through the two realms of embryonic breathing and Qi Cultivation."

"It seems..."

Gu Jun said word by word: "The death of this girl has touched you quite a bit, and it has become a good thing?"

"It's just a coincidence."

Chen Hang's expression remained unchanged: "The elder came to find the disciple specifically, I don't know what the matter is."

"A few days ago, when I was playing chess with Refiner Jiang Gulian of Bai He Cave, I heard his disciples praise you highly, especially that Zhou Xingling, who praised you as if you were the only one in heaven and earth. He said you were already in the Qi Cultivation realm, with extraordinary divine abilities and extensive knowledge. I didn't believe this at first."

Gu Jun looked into his eyes and said with much appreciation:

"It's only been a few days? How can the Qi Cultivation decree be so easy to understand? How can a Qi Cultivator be so easy to cultivate?

I initially thought you had obtained some demonic opportunity outside and used a clever left-handed method, but seeing that your embryonic breathing is clearly the gold-sharp attribute in the 'Ingot Gold True Qi', I am relieved!"

The Scattered Scene and Restraining Form Art obtained from Wei Lingjiang can simulate the energy of all things, without any difference. Even cultivators who are several great realms higher than himself, if they don't have real divine abilities and test them personally, it is difficult to see through.

In the past few days, when Chen Hang walked in various islands, he used the Scattered Scene and Restraining Form Art to change his embryonic breathing and changed it to the attribute of "Ingot Gold True Qi."

Fortunately, he did this, so he was not leaked his true qi foundation by Gu Jun's sudden peeping.

……

"If the disciple really practiced the fast-track method of the demonic path, rather than comprehending the 'Ingot Gold True Qi', how would the elder deal with me?"

Suddenly encountering this test, Chen Hang was not in a hurry, but asked another sentence.

"Since you have practiced the evil method of the demonic path, then you are a demon of the demonic path. Even if Yan Feichen doesn't kill you, I will never tolerate you!"

Gu Jun's eyes widened suddenly, murderous, making people feel cold all over.

"However..."

He softened his tone and laughed again, saying: "Since you have practiced the 'Ingot Gold True Qi' and are not a demon of the demonic path, then I have a creation to give to you."

He reached out and grabbed Chen Hang's shoulder, and with a trance, both of them disappeared in place.

And in a tea room not far away.

Seeing this scene, Wei Lingjiang subconsciously stood up suddenly. The pair of scissors-water eyes under her veil shrank slightly, and her expression became more solemn.

"Hasn't the brother-in-law finished talking to that thin old man? I've already eaten the eighteenth bun. If I keep eating, I'm afraid my stomach will burst!"

Beside Wei Lingjiang, Qingzhi, with a mouth full of oil, raised her head and said in a muffled voice:

"His room is next to yours anyway, Miss, go back, don't watch. If you really want to see him so much, I can help you pick the lock. When you meet privately at night, if you are generous and give me more money, I can also act as a door god and keep watch for you..."

After this sentence was finished, she was rarely not beaten.

Qingzhi hiccuped uncomfortably and raised her eyes in confusion.

This look.

Where were Chen Hang and Gu Jun in place? It was already empty.

"Woo! The brother-in-law was caught by the bad old man! Miss, go and save the beauty!"

Qingzhi was shocked, and even the venison bun she left to the end couldn't be eaten:

"If he dies, will Miss be a widow? Wait... is that how it's said? A widow?"

Bang!

A small, fair fist hit the top of her head hard.

Qingzhi let out an "ouch," held her head and squatted down in pain, tears flying from the corners of her eyes.

"This... this is right! I said why I felt uncomfortable all over today, it turns out Miss didn't beat me, hehehehe!"

Qingzhi rubbed the bump on her head, laughing wildly in her heart.

And her shout almost tore the roof off, naturally attracting the attention of everyone in the tea house, looking towards this remote corner.

What they saw.

Only a graceful girl wearing a white veil and a light veil, standing tall, with a slender waist and long body, like a fine willow in spring, with an indescribable exquisite state.

Even if she couldn't see her face clearly, she was like a flower tree, pure and beautiful.

Some bold people tidied up their clothes and wanted to go up to talk, but after being swept by those cold eyes, a sense of horror arose in their hearts, and they shrank back in fear.

"Let's go."

Wei Lingjiang's voice was cold, and she walked out of the tea house first.

The girl reluctantly wrapped the last venison bun in oil paper, carefully tucked it on her body, and gulped down all the tea on the table.

Only then did she make a grimace at everyone in the tea house with a smile.

Jumping and jumping, she opened her two short legs and chased after her.

……

On both sides of the street, there are various tea houses, restaurants, inn stone workshops, pawnshops, beast fields, and bookstores.

This island is called Accumulation Rock Island, and the terrain is quite high. Looking from afar, there are still many strange peaks and rocks scattered in the wilderness, rugged and well-proportioned, like thorns and bamboo shoots.

Qingzhi followed Wei Lingjiang and walked aimlessly on the street, bored, not knowing where to go. She had a small green bell tied to her waist. When the wind blew, it rang "ding-ding-dang," like some kind of disordered music.

"Miss, is there any news about that evil Yin-Sheng Demon?"

Wei Lingjiang shook her head.

"You have been searching everywhere for the past few days, checking so many files, and inquiring, but you haven't found its true body?" Qingzhi stared.

Wei Lingjiang did not answer.

"You say, Ai Jian made such a big mistake, can he return to the Yuchen Sect in the future?"

Seeing that her Miss was not very interested in this topic, Qingzhi sighed like an old man and changed to another one.

"I don't know."

"Miss, do you remember that kid from the Huai Shui Xie family in the sect? I heard that he made a desperate fight with Sima Fang, but before the two of them started fighting, they were slapped away by your teacher, hahahaha!"

Qingzhi laughed and held her belly, and finally felt a little regretful:

"Actually, I really hope Sima Fang is beaten to death. Among the twelve families, the Sima family is the most annoying. Not to mention the kid from the Xie family, I want to hammer Sima Fang."

"……"

"I heard that the East Sea Dragon Palace is about to choose a son-in-law again. The old loaches really can't wait to marry off their daughters!"

"……"

"I'm a fool!" Qingzhi suddenly put her hands on her hips.

Wei Lingjiang stopped and finally said a soft "um."

"You are a big fool!"

Qingzhi rolled her eyes: "Don't pretend, if you want to see, go see. Miss is really awkward! Is your brain made of wood? Did you fall stupid on the ground when you were a child? You've only met a few times, and you care about him so much!"

"I..." Wei Lingjiang frowned slightly and subconsciously defended:

"I don't! It's just, it's just that he still owes me a favor. If he dies, didn't I waste my effort before?"

She didn't speak again, just nodded lightly.

"Ah, yes, yes, yes, everything you say is right! Your mouth is the hardest on your whole body!"

Qingzhi squinted and sneered: "Did he cast any curse on you? In the past, you didn't give a good look to those people in the sect, with a cold face. Is it because they were too enthusiastic about you, or is this Chen Hang too cold to you, so you've never seen it, so you feel interesting in your heart?"

"I..."

Wei Lingjiang shook her head, a look of helplessness appearing on her gorgeous face.

She just had a guess in her heart because she had been exploring the whereabouts of the evil Yin-Sheng Demon recently and had checked many files and stories.

And the "Great Formless Constant Realm True Qi" practiced by Chen Hang, combined with the "Ten Thousand Mile Illumination Talisman" bestowed by the Daoist Lord, in a sense, might become the key to breaking the situation.

It's just that she and Chen Hang have never spoken to each other in the past few days.

When they met occasionally, her response to him was also to pretend to ignore him.

Suddenly asking for his help at this time...

Wei Lingjiang didn't know how to speak, and she was also distressed and didn't want to think about it.

She couldn't do what Chen Hang did, as if she didn't care about everything, as if nothing had happened.

And this is just an excuse on the surface.

As for what that little thought in the depths of her heart is.

Even Wei Lingjiang herself.

Seems.

Also not very clear...

Qingzhi beside her was still chattering.

Wei Lingjiang suddenly reached out, snatched an oil paper bag from her arms, stuffed the venison bun that Qingzhi had specially left for a midnight snack into her mouth, and bit down hard!

"Ah! What are you doing?!"

Qingzhi's voice stopped, looking at this scene in disbelief, so angry that her head was dizzy, and she was about to fall to the sky.

"Let's go, go back and find him."

Wei Lingjiang's cheeks puffed up slightly, her voice unclear, like a little rabbit chewing a radish hard, expressionless.

"Uh... can I watch the show again?"

Qingzhi was happy, and for a moment, even her head didn't feel dizzy.

"If he has an accident, the favor he owes me will be even harder to pay back. If it weren't for this, I wouldn't care about his life or death!"

Wei Lingjiang's expression was faint.

"Hehehehe, yes, that's right, that's the taste! Hypocritical, the mouth is the hardest on the whole body!"

Qingzhi put her hands on her hips and laughed wildly.

The next moment, a slender hand pulled her ear and dragged her forward.

……

……

Accumulation Rock Island.

In the lobby of a restaurant.

Chen Hang and Gu Jun were sitting opposite each other. Suddenly, Gu Jun put down his wine cup and said:

"After the trip to the Earth Abyss, you will withdraw from the Profound Heaven Sect. As for the sect master, I will explain it for you."

"What?"

Chen Hang was slightly surprised and looked at the thin, clear-eyed old man opposite him in astonishment.

"You go and join Bai He Cave and become Zhou Xingling's junior brother."

Gu Jun seemed to ignore his gaze and continued:

"I have already greeted Refiner Jiang Gulian. That kind old man has already promised that he will accept you as his closed-door disciple."
