Chapter 65

"Which batch of immortals did Fellow Daoist join Bai Yu Jing with?"

"I was in the sixth batch. Most of the fellow daoists in that batch were pre-celestial spiritual roots. For example, the Immortal of Immortality; he said he came from Mount Kunlun. Then there's the Gambling Stone Immortal; he is a divine tree rooted in a mineral vein, but I don't know exactly what kind of spiritual root he is."

"So that's it." Xuanqing obtained two more pieces of information and secretly noted them down.

Anything that a supreme pre-celestial spiritual root would specifically mention is 99% likely to be a supreme pre-celestial spiritual root as well.

"Could that Immortal of Immortality from Kunlun be a Flat Shen Tao Shu?"

Xuanqing clicked his tongue in wonder; if the Flat Shen Tao Shu had also come without the Queen Mother of the West knowing, that would be interesting.

"Fellow Daoist, you haven't finished touring the First Tiancheng yet, have you?" The 【Tour Guide Immortal】 Ginseng Fruit Tree looked at Xuanqing.

"Not yet."

Xuanqing shook his head: "I just packed up my stall, and the Barbecue Immortal pointed me to find you."

The Ginseng Fruit Tree thought happily to himself: "The Barbecue Immortal still takes such good care of my business; next time I'll have to buy more barbecue from him!"

"Come, come, come, I'll take Fellow Daoist to see some interesting places."

The Ginseng Fruit Tree began to take Xuanqing around the First Tiancheng.

"Fellow Daoist, let me tell you, you can't miss the First Tiancheng when you come to Bai Yu Jing. This is the place in Mount Bai Yu Jing that first connected to the myriad heavens, and there are many interesting immortals setting up stalls here."

"Also, do you see those Qionglou towers above the Tiancheng? Those towers hold lively activities from time to time."

"For example, for this assembly, the First Qionglou is the Gambling Stone Immortal's exclusive venue. Many immortal families gather there to play gambling stones; I'll take you to see it in a bit."

"If Fellow Daoist is lucky, you might even open up some pre-celestial spiritual treasures!"

The Ginseng Fruit Tree lived up to his name as the Tour Guide Immortal, introducing the various features of the First Tiancheng to Xuanqing with a silver tongue.

For example, the immortals from the Fantasy Great World organized a Fantasy Great Adventure activity.

Participating immortal families would become the fantasy objects of the fantasy immortals, used to create astonishing works.

Xuanqing saw with his own eyes a skeptical Flower Immortal being fantasized into an Eight-Clawed Red Gold Spider.

The method was almost turning falsehood into truth; the Flower Immortal almost lost herself and really became a spider.

"What a pity, if that had succeeded, our Weaving Immortal would have gained another member," several weaving maidens in the crowd sighed.

There was also the 【Tree-Planting Immortal】 from the Shizhou and Sandao who initiated an activity called "Universal Salvation of Immortals, Supreme Righteous Fruit."

He called on immortals to join a tree-planting activity, going to the Western Quicksand lands to plant trees, save the suffering beings there, introduce them to the Immortal Dao, and help them achieve the Righteous Fruit.

"You must never believe the lies of the 【Tree-Planting Immortal】. He doesn't want to plant real trees, and he doesn't want to bear righteous fruit!" The Ginseng Fruit Tree seemed to have no good feelings toward the Tree-Planting Immortal and secretly transmitted his voice to Xuanqing.

"Yo, did the Tour Guide Immortal pick up another distinguished guest?"

When the Ginseng Fruit Tree was about to pull Xuanqing away, the 【Tree-Planting Immortal】 greeted them enthusiastically.

"This fellow daoist, would you like to participate in our activity?"

"Our activity is a great merit for creating the Primordial World and saving all living beings."

Xuanqing looked toward the 【Tree-Planting Immortal】 and saw him wearing a three-dimensional crown, dressed in nine-colored cloud robes, with a face like jade, white hair, and a graceful posture.

Beside his stall, a sturdy black bear lay quietly.

The Ginseng Fruit Tree transmitted: "He is from the Shizhou and Sandao, the Tree-Planting Immortal of Zifu Continent. He has a title in the Bai Yu Jing myriad heavens: Emperor Emperor Dong Hua."

"Emperor Emperor Dong Hua?"

Hearing a familiar title, Xuanqing couldn't help but look at the 【Tree-Planting Immortal】 twice more.

And just as Xuanqing and the Ginseng Fruit Tree stopped, the black bear lying on the ground suddenly opened its blood-red eyes, bared its fangs, and let out a dull low roar at the two of them.

ROAR!!!

This gave the Ginseng Fruit Tree a fright: "Tree-Planter, keep your silly beast under control!"

"Little Black!"

The 【Tree-Planting Immortal】 Emperor Emperor Dong Hua frowned slightly and scolded his mount softly.

The black bear still let out a low roar in agitation; its eyes revealed panic and unease, as if it had bumped into some massive monster and felt threatened.

Emperor Emperor Dong Hua was quite surprised when he saw this.

He stepped forward to soothe his mount and then looked at Xuanqing calmly.

"Two fellow daoists, I am truly sorry. Little Black didn't sleep well today and is a bit irritable, disturbing you both."

Emperor Emperor Dong Hua's attitude was sincere, his face full of apology.

"To express my apology, please accept these two gifts."

As soon as his voice fell, an immortal behind him held up a gourd and a five-colored lingzhi.

"Water from the Profound Sword, water like honey syrup; drink it to live long and exist with heaven and earth." The Ginseng Fruit Tree saw what these two gifts were at a glance.

"Eating the five-colored lingzhi also grants immortality."

Emperor Emperor Dong Hua praised: "As expected of the Tour Guide Immortal, you know the specialties of our Zifu Continent like the back of your hand!"

The Ginseng Fruit Tree said to Xuanqing: "Take them. These two things are of no use to beings with our pre-celestial origins in the Primordial World, but they can be exchanged with immortals from other great worlds."

"Of course, you can also take them back to refine medicine."

Xuanqing nodded slightly and accepted the five-colored lingzhi.

The Ginseng Fruit Tree took the gourd.

"Safe travels, two fellow daoists."

Emperor Emperor Dong Hua smiled and saw them off.

Watching the backs of the two immortals disappear, Emperor Emperor Dong Hua looked at his mount again.

He whispered thoughtfully: "Heh, very interesting. There's actually a demon head in Bai Yu Jing?"

"Fellow Daoist doesn't seem to like the Tree-Planting Immortal very much?"

Xuanqing weighed the five-colored lingzhi in his hand; it was indeed a pure pre-celestial object, nothing wrong with it.

"He is a tree-planter, and I am a tree; our paths are different."

The Ginseng Fruit Tree was unwilling to say more.

"Anyway, you'd better stay away from him; this guy's motives are impure. Hongjun has an agreement with a certain existence and will not actively interfere with matters west of Mount Kunlun."

"How could there be a good outcome if Emperor Dong Hua pulls others to plant trees in the Western Quicksand lands? If you're not careful, you'll be planted as a tree by someone else."

Xuanqing understood after hearing this.

The one who has an agreement with Hongjun must be Luo Hou.

"Many thanks for telling me, Fellow Daoist."

"You're welcome; avoiding pitfalls for customers is what I, the Tour Guide Immortal, should do."

The Ginseng Fruit Tree smiled: "Otherwise, how could I have such a good reputation?"

He continued to take Xuanqing around.

Soon, the 108 long streets of the First Tiancheng were basically toured.

"Let's go, I'll take you to the Gambling Stone Immortal's territory now; it's very lively there."

The Ginseng Fruit Tree pointed to the Qionglou towers in the sky.

As the two were chatting, a hurried shout suddenly came from afar.

"Alliance Leader, Alliance Leader!"

"Big business is here! More than a dozen immortals want to join our group to tour Bai Yu Jing."

At the end of the long street, a brilliant golden light rose from the horizon.

Only a crisp "snap" was heard.

A long golden whip was raised high.

Heavenly horses neighed, hooves flying, traveling through time and space.

A female immortal drove a golden chariot, charging recklessly, speeding over like lightning.

All the immortal families were alarmed when they saw this.

"It's the Chariot Immortal! Dodge quickly!"

"It's over, my stall!"

"Oh no, it's coming for me!"

"Oh my, the Car Accident Immortal has killed another one!!"

"The Tour Guide Immortal's work for the day is in vain; I sympathize."

"Why don't you sympathize with the fellow daoist who was hit? Oh, it's not his first time being hit, then it's fine."
