Chapter 177: The Yellow Millet Pillow

"The grass on my dad's grave is taller than I am!"

"You're not that short," Shangguan Yu muttered.

After learning Shangguan Yu's identity, Old Man Ba's eyes lit up. He patted Qiu Jin'an on the shoulder and said, "You can call me Old Ba from now on."

"Get lost!" Qiu Jin'an shook off Old Man Ba's hand. The Dao Seeking Sect was truly no place to stay; he felt he had vented a lifetime's worth of anger at the Dao Seeking Sect.

"Little Qiu, I think the Dao Seeking Sect is quite fun. It's not easy to come here once, why don't we stay a few more days?" Shangguan Yu suggested.

Qiu Jin'an pulled Shangguan Yu along and boarded the flying boat to leave without looking back.

Shangguan Yu chattered incessantly: "I've taught you since you were small: don't get angry when things happen, stay calm, and be steady. Look at you, how old are you now? Even after becoming Sect Master, you still get angry often. This is not good..."

Qiu Jin'an's face was dark, and he offered no reply.

Shangguan Yu wiped away tears: "The child is grown up and doesn't listen anymore."

Qiu Jin'an helplessly responded: "Mom, can you not act like a little kid?"

"What's wrong with being a little kid? Your dad liked me just like this."

"I..." Qiu Jin'an was speechless, not knowing how his father had taken a liking to his mother in the first place.

On the flying boat, Qiu Jin'an assigned a task: "For this visit to the Dao Seeking Sect, everyone must write a two-thousand-word reflection. It must include insights, reflections, and a plan for the next steps. Hand it to me tomorrow!"

A chorus of groans erupted instantly.

In front of the Dao Seeking Sect's mountain gate, Old Man Ba waved goodbye to the flying boat, feeling dejected: "Do you think I have a chance with Shangguan Yu?"

The Great Elder looked Old Man Ba up and down with disdain: "You're not even as handsome as me, and you have the nerve to pursue her?"

The Third Elder said earnestly: "Second Brother, I won't stop you if you want to increase your seniority, but I'm afraid Master won't agree. Master is suppressing the Prison Peak; he probably doesn't need you."

The elders carried out the tradition of kicking a brother when he's down, each advising Old Man Ba not to be foolish.

"Get out, get out, get out!" Old Man Ba raged. What kind of fellow disciples were these? They couldn't say a single nice thing.

"Let's go, let's take a look at the high-level members of the Decayed Sect we captured," the Great Elder said. This was the most urgent matter to deal with.

On the martial arts plaza, Dao Seeking Sect disciples surrounded the Decayed Sect's high-level members, pointing and whispering as if looking at rare animals.

This time, they hadn't captured all the Decayed Sect members who had infiltrated the Dao Seeking Sect; two branch leaders and the sect founder were still at large, posing as Dao Seeking Sect disciples.

Lu Yang held the Yellow Millet Pillow, looking at it from left to right, finding it very curious.

This was his first time seeing an Immortal Treasure.

The Yellow Millet Pillow was a porcelain pillow shaped like a pillow. The porcelain was a greenish-blue color, and a blooming green lotus was painted on it with colored glaze.

"Is this the Immortal Treasure Yellow Millet Pillow that Little Lu mentioned?" The Great Elder and others walked over, also finding the Immortal Treasure rare.

"Come, let me study it." The Great Elder took the Yellow Millet Pillow. He specialized in dreamscapes and was very interested in treasures that could force people to fall asleep.

The Great Elder tried to input a wisp of spiritual power to activate the Immortal Treasure, but the spiritual power was like a stone sinking into the ocean; the Yellow Millet Pillow had no reaction at all.

"Interesting." The Great Elder wanted even more to know how to activate the Yellow Millet Pillow.

Miss Yun Zhi had wanted to tell the Great Elder how to use it, but she opened her mouth and, seeing the Great Elder's high level of interest, ultimately didn't say it.

Better to let the Great Elder study it himself.

The Great Elder tried every method, but couldn't drive the Yellow Millet Pillow, feeling somewhat troubled.

"How on earth do you use this thing?"

The prisoner, Vice Sect Master Gao, saw this and laughed loudly: "Stupid, this is an Immortal Object of my sect. How could you mortal fools be qualified to use this item?"

As the Great Elder studied it, Vice Sect Master Gao mocked him, and the five Decayed Sect high-level members also occasionally let out strange, sarcastic laughs.

The Great Elder finally couldn't take it anymore; he grabbed the porcelain pillow and fiercely knocked Vice Sect Master Gao on the head. Vice Sect Master Gao fell into a sound sleep.

"So that's how the Immortal Treasure is used." The Great Elder was thoughtful, finally knowing how to use the Yellow Millet Pillow.

Miss Yun Zhi could no longer stand it and reminded him: "Great Elder, use spiritual power as a thread to form the same green lotus on the back of the pillow as on the front, and you can activate the pillow."

"So that's it."

The Great Elder used spiritual power as a thread to form the same green lotus on the back of the pillow as on the front, then fiercely knocked a Decayed Sect high-level member on the head. That person fell into a sound sleep.

"It's actually quite easy to use."

The Great Elder returned the pillow to Lu Yang. Lu Yang also tried it according to the Eldest Senior Sister's instructions, but there was no reaction at all.

The Decayed Fairy mocked: "With your Foundation Establishment cultivation, you want to activate my treasure?"

Lu Yang had no choice but to hand the pillow over to the Eldest Senior Sister for her to handle.

Miss Yun Zhi pinched a seal with one hand, and the mark slowly soaked into the Yellow Millet Pillow. Once the mark disappeared, she handed the porcelain pillow to the Great Elder.

"Great Elder, you are the sect's most skilled cultivator in dreamscapes. This item can achieve its maximum effect in your hands. I have already left a mark on the pillow, so even if an outsider steals it, I can track it back."

The Great Elder was both surprised and happy, solemnly thanking Miss Yun Zhi. This was an extremely precious Immortal Treasure; holding this item could raise his combat power to another level.

He was already one of the strongest in the Integration stage; now that he had obtained an Immortal Treasure, it was enough to make him an invincible existence in the Integration realm. If Yu Dao Ren wasn't careful, he would fall for his tricks!

Miss Yun Zhi passed on another passage of ancient words, telling the Great Elder to remember it, saying that chanting these words when using the Yellow Millet Pillow could increase its power.

The Great Elder was curious and asked Miss Yun Zhi if she knew the meaning of these ancient words.

Miss Yun Zhi's expression was strange, saying it was best if the Great Elder didn't know the meaning of the ancient words.

"By the way, why is your pillow called the Yellow Millet Pillow?" Lu Yang asked the Decayed Fairy.

"Is it because you were lying on the pillow sleeping while making millet porridge, and during the process of sleeping, you lived out your whole life, and when you woke up from the dream, the millet porridge wasn't cooked yet?" Lu Yang recalled a certain legend.

The Decayed Fairy nodded: "It's about the same as what you guessed."

"That was when the pillow was just forged. I invited Ying Tian Xian and the others to eat. The staple food was millet porridge. At the time, I was thinking about other things, and the millet porridge boiled over, bubbling up, about to overflow the pot."

"At this time, I remembered that Jiu Chong Xian had said that if you encounter liquid boiling when doing experiments, just throw a few broken porcelain pieces in, and it won't boil anymore."

"I didn't have broken porcelain pieces on hand, only the porcelain pillow, so I threw the pillow into the millet porridge. When I fished it out, the pillow was covered in millet porridge, and thus it got the name Yellow Millet Pillow."

Lu Yang: "..."

Does this have anything to do with what I guessed?

"Then after you threw it in, did it still overflow?" Lu Yang was concerned about the follow-up development of the matter.

"It didn't overflow."

Lu Yang was just about to say that this method was really reliable, when he heard the Decayed Fairy continue: "I used too much force and smashed a hole in the pot."

The Decayed Fairy had a lingering fear: "Fortunately, Ying Tian Xian and the others stood me up, otherwise, there would be no staple food for the meal, and it would have been a huge embarrassment."

It is rumored that Immortals have the ability to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages; the rumor is indeed true. ===== CHAPTER 178 =====
