Chapter 1447: The Legend of the Empress of Creation

~8 min read 1,436 words

"Fellow Daoist Qingshui?"

"Great, this little woman is Lou Zhiyi!"

"Greetings, Biyun Xianzi Lou!" He Ping cupped his hands towards Lou Zhiyi.

Lou Zhiyi shook her head and said: "Don't call me Biyun Xianzi Lou, just call me 【Biyun Xianzi Zhiyi】 from now on; I like this title better!"

"Good!"

Lou Zhiyi added: "Being a shopkeeper at the stand in the chamber of commerce is indeed a good way to gain experience; sometimes it can hone the Dao Heart even better than traveling around!"

"How about this!"

"The best place is on the first floor!"

"From today on, you are the shopkeeper at the stand on our first floor!"

"However... there are some things you still need to hand over with Shopkeeper Song on the first floor!"

"Hmm... this is the token of our chamber of commerce elder, go..."

Lou Zhiyi gave He Ping a token!

There was no name on the black token, just a simple token.

He Ping hung the token and came to the first floor, and according to Lou Zhiyi's meaning, found the elder on the first floor.

Shopkeeper Song looked very young and also very handsome.

However, his cultivation base was relatively low, not yet reaching the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm, only at the fourth layer of the Golden Immortal realm.

"Greetings, Senior!" Shopkeeper Song respectfully saluted He Ping and said: "Elder Zhiyi has already told me just now that from now on, you will be the stand elder on this floor!"

He Ping cupped his hands with a slight apology: "Sorry!"

"It's okay!" Shopkeeper Song shook his head and said: "Senior, you are too polite; actually, I am only a shopkeeper here because I want to gain experience, and now it's about time for me to go back and cultivate!"

"Under normal circumstances, the shopkeepers and elders of this chamber of commerce rotate in pairs!"

"For example, on the first floor, there are you and me; we can rotate every hundred years, or every five hundred years!"

"But three hundred years ago, the guy who originally rotated with me left, so recently I have been alone on the first floor of the chamber of commerce!"

"Senior coming over just fills the gap here; actually, I should thank you!"

"I live on the west side of this Imperial City; this is my address!" Shopkeeper Song took out a jade slip and gave it to He Ping: "If Senior Qingshui has something temporary or goes out in the future, you can call me to come and take over. Hmm... I am the same!"

"Good!" He Ping smiled and said: "Thank you!"

Next, Shopkeeper Song told He Ping some of the rules of the chamber of commerce and gave him a scroll, which contained some basic common sense, such as the value of certain items, etc.

For the valuation of heavenly treasures, the chamber of commerce had its own system.

Of course, there were also things that the chamber of commerce did not have standards for; when such things were brought in, several elders would discuss and value them.

In the following time, He Ping leisurely became a stand elder in this Tianmu Chamber of Commerce.

He did not specifically inquire about Seeing Qiao Huizhu's situation, but only listened; sometimes when he encountered people talking about things here, he would ask a couple of questions in passing.

Thus, he slowly collected information.

Time flowed slowly.

In a blink of an eye, another forty-two years passed.

Forty-two years, not long, not short!

What He Ping did not expect was that being an elder in this chamber of commerce had some unexpected benefits.

For example, someone brought something of a very high tier to He Ping for the chamber of commerce to value and acquire.

He Ping could simply reply: Valuation takes a few days.

Then, toss the item into his Treasure-Gathering Basin and duplicate a copy.

Over forty-two years of accumulation, he had gained quite a few more heavenly treasures.

Over these years, he basically knew the general life of the Empress of Creation.

This Empress of Creation was named 【Seeing Qiao Huizhu】, and she was a peerless genius!

Not only was she beautiful and peerless, but her talent was also shocking.

Legend has it that she only used less than ten thousand years to step into the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm.

Because she practiced the Dao of Creation, she was also known as the Empress of Creation.

More importantly, the Empress's master was a disciple of one of the Dao Origin Dao Monarchs in the Nine Woods Immortal Domain.

Because her master was a supreme powerhouse of the Dao Origin Great Realm, Seeing Qiao Huizhu became the master of the Creation Star Cluster shortly after achieving the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm.

But later, when the Empress of Creation grew to the peak of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, it was suddenly rumored that she had stolen treasures from her master's sect, and even destroyed the foundation of the Nine Woods Immortal Domain, damaging one of the Immortal Trees, etc.

After being discovered, the Empress rebelled against her master's sect and wanted to defect to the Buddhist sect, and then she was cleared out by her master, eventually falling.

The life of the Empress of Creation was magnificent, yet simple.

He Ping could not see everything, nor could he get all the news, but these messages alone gave him a headache.

Stealing treasures from the master's sect?

Destroying the Immortal Tree?

Is it possible?

The old monk Mingyuan once said that after the Buddhist Futu Bodhisattva fell back then, her soul was torn into two segments and reincarnated separately, one of which turned into Wen Buwan, and the other became Seeing Qiao Huizhu.

If what the old monk said was true, then...

Then the Empress of Creation's fall was probably not about stealing treasures from the master's sect, nor was it about destroying the Immortal Tree.

It was a scheme.

Under the scheme, she had to die.

Just like those people scheming against Wen Buwan today.

Connecting everything before and after, it was not hard to understand why He Ping was wanted by the entire Nine Woods Immortal Domain today.

"Elder Qingshui... Great Elder Lou said she is waiting for you upstairs!"

A female elder passed a message to He Ping.

He Ping nodded: "Good, I'll be there right away!"

He temporarily left the counter on the first floor and walked to the seventh floor upstairs.

The seventh floor was a temporary resting place for elders, with a total of more than a dozen rooms.

There was a room for He Ping, and naturally, there was also a room for Lou Zhiyi.

Lou Zhiyi's room was the largest and was at the very end.

He Ping walked to the door and knocked.

The dark red door opened automatically, and a fragrant breeze wafted out.

He Ping walked in with some embarrassment.

With a bang, the door was closed again.

In the room, the candlelight was dim, and the Great Elder was wearing a black gauze dress, sitting on a meditation cushion, looking at He Ping with slightly blurry eyes: "Junior Brother Qingshui... come and sit by sister's side!"

"I see you seem very afraid of me!"

"Is Lou Zhiyi that scary?"

The embarrassment on He Ping's face could be scraped off by two catties: Good fellow, good fellow, now that this phase I cultivated through the Divine Ability is a middle-aged man, and he looks ordinary, why did this woman Lou Zhiyi fall for me?

It really is... a person's temperament cannot be hidden anywhere!

"Hey hey..." He Ping sat opposite Lou Zhiyi, biting the bullet.

Lou Zhiyi rolled her eyes at him and said: "Speak, what important matter is there?"

He Ping said: "I made an appointment with a friend to explore a mystic realm, so I have to go out for a period of time!"

"Can you find someone to take over the stand elder on the first floor temporarily?"

"Sure!" Lou Zhiyi said: "I will go down and entertain guests myself later; how long will you be?"

He Ping said: "I don't know exactly how long, maybe a year or half, maybe decades!"

"So long?" Lou Zhiyi pouted: "Fine... sister will help you... but you must come back; six hundred years later, at the Dao-Comprehension Assembly at 【Tian Sang Wood】 among the nine ancient trees, sister has reserved a spot for you, and when the time comes, sister will accompany you, and we will go together!"
