Chapter 324: Qilin Immortal, I'll Remember You
"By the way, this is the mud I found, 'Breathing Soil'." The Qilin Immortal Medicine recovered from the shock of the Immortal War and remembered the purpose of its coming here.
"Breathing Soil, is it that legendary immortal soil that only needs a small piece to block a river?!" Lu Yang had only seen this kind of precious mud in books, and because its effect was too magical, it was dubbed "Immortal Soil" by the world.
The Immortal Fairy circled the Breathing Soil a few times and recognized its origin: "This? This is a good thing created by the Nine-Layer Immortal. It expands when it meets water and is used to control river flooding."
"At that time, our river channels were a mess, and rivers often flooded. Tribes were all settled by the river, and the riverside was the most densely populated place, which meant that every time the river flooded, it caused huge casualties, and post-disaster reconstruction was also very difficult."
"Large tribes were fine; there were great cultivators who used water-control techniques to control the flow of the river, so the tribes wouldn't be in danger. Small and medium-sized tribes were miserable; their cultivators' cultivation bases weren't high enough to control the vast river water."
"Although the Nine-Layer Immortal came from the Lianshan Clan, the largest tribe of the human race, he treated everyone equally and was also very good to those small tribes."
"After he became an immortal, he set out to solve the flood problem and refined a type of mud that expands when it meets water—that is the Breathing Soil in your hand."
"Oh, by the way, Lu Yang, you can't eat Breathing Soil." The Immortal Fairy reminded him.
"Is there a problem?"
The Immortal Fairy looked at Lu Yang with pity: "Breathing Soil expands when it meets water, and saliva is the same. If you eat a mouthful of Breathing Soil, the Breathing Soil will expand until it wraps you up."
"Then forget it." Lu Yang quickly moved away from the Breathing Soil.
The Three-Leaf Star Grass and the Flower of the End of Time brought two other types of precious soil, which Lu Yang ate one by one, but none of them had any effect.
"It's not working."
The effects of the three types of soil couldn't all be improving physical constitution.
"Eat two more mouthfuls?" The Immortal Fairy didn't believe it.
Lu Yang ate all the soil brought, but there was absolutely no change.
Lu Yang felt it might be that he hadn't eaten enough, so he continued to let the Little Medicine Kings find dirt for him to eat, eating until the sky was just beginning to brighten, but Lu Yang still didn't sense any change.
"Fairy, is your 'Swallowing Heaven and Eating Earth' reliable?" Lu Yang suspected he had been played by the Immortal Fairy.
"How is it unreliable? This is the great Taotie divine ability taught to me by the Qilin Immortal!"
Lu Yang suddenly had a bad premonition: "Wait, it was taught to you by the Qilin Immortal?"
"That's right."
"When did he teach it to you? Was it after he held his wedding?"
The Immortal Fairy was quite surprised: "How did you know?"
"Not long after the wedding ended, the Qilin Immortal found me and asked if I wanted to learn the ancient great divine ability of the Taotie clan. I said learning it wouldn't hurt."
"'Swallowing Heaven and Eating Earth' wasn't hard to learn; I learned it very quickly. After I learned it, the Qilin Immortal asked if I wanted to try eating dirt. I said I had already become an immortal, so what use would eating dirt be? He heard me say that and left, very disappointed."
Lu Yang was silent for a long while before tentatively asking: "Fairy, you said before that you had read the story of the Taotie clan in a book. Did the book say that eating dirt could improve cultivation talent?"
"No, the Qilin Immortal told me that."
Lu Yang: "..."
Lu Yang probably understood what was going on. 'Swallowing Heaven and Eating Earth' was indeed for eating dirt, and the Taotie clan did indeed start by eating dirt, but there was absolutely no such thing as eating dirt improving cultivation talent!
It was the Qilin Immortal who wanted to take revenge on the Immortal Fairy, deliberately teaching the Fairy this ability and using the claim of "improving cultivation talent" to arouse the Fairy's curiosity, hoping the Fairy would eat dirt.
In this way, the Qilin Immortal could spread the news of the Fairy eating dirt and use it to mock the Fairy.
Who would have thought that the Immortal Fairy was "so stupid she seemed wise" and didn't fall for it at all!
300,000 years later, the trap laid by the Qilin Immortal was stepped into by his unlucky self, and he had eaten dirt for a whole night.
Qilin Immortal, you couldn't trap the Immortal Fairy, so you trapped me, right? I'll remember you!
When everyone arrived at the meeting point, Lu Yang was late.
Just as everyone was planning to go find him, they saw Lu Yang walking over with heavy steps, his face looking earthy.
Meng Jingzhou was startled by Lu Yang's appearance: "What's wrong with you? Did you fall into a mud pit while sleeping?"
Lu Yang pretended that nothing had happened and waved his hand: "It's nothing, just a small setback when learning a divine ability. This is very common on the path of cultivation."
Fortunately, one doesn't need to sleep in the Jin Dan stage, otherwise, Lu Yang would be so sleepy right now that he couldn't even open his eyes.
Elder Five was also very concerned about Lu Yang: "Are you really okay?"
"Really okay."
"That's good."
Elder Five took a flying shuttle out of his sleeve and then tossed it lightly into the air, and the shuttle became as large as a merchant flying boat.
The shuttle opened, revealing the seats and various exquisite facilities inside.
This was Elder Five's favorite flying magic treasure; in terms of cost, it was much more expensive than a flying boat.
"Get on."
Everyone jumped onto the shuttle one after another, and the shuttle closed.
"Everyone is sitting steady and has their seatbelts fastened, right?" Elder Five stood at the very front and asked indifferently.
Everyone didn't understand what he meant, but they all sat honestly in their seats and said in unison that they were sitting steady.
"That's good."
Elder Five nodded, held up his index and middle fingers, and activated the shuttle.
The shuttle broke through the air barrier, making a sonic boom, and started rapidly.
It was as if something heavy was rushing toward them, pressing everyone tightly against their chairs, making Lu Yang unable to move.
This force was too vast; even if Lu Yang gritted his teeth and stiffened his neck, using all his strength, he couldn't break free and could only stick to the chair.
He also tried to condense a spiritual power barrier around himself to protect himself, but at this speed, the spiritual power shattered as soon as it left his body and couldn't support a barrier at all.
Finally, the pressure disappeared, and the four of them leaned forward, their arms resting on their legs, their heads drooping forward, stabilizing their bodies.
The four of them had a feeling of relief after surviving a disaster.
They didn't even have this feeling when facing the Jiuyou Sect.
Elder Five paced back and forth in front of the four, teaching: "I deliberately accelerated suddenly just now to train your reaction ability when facing sudden situations. Remember the feeling just now; as a cultivator, you must always be alert to possible dangers around you."
"Like when I was young, I often sped in flying boats and had to face law enforcement cultivators flying from who knows which direction. None of those law enforcement cultivators ever caught me."
The four looked at Elder Five vigilantly; the biggest danger right now was you!
The flying shuttle was extremely fast. Lu Yang originally wanted to show everyone the "Swallowing Heaven" he had just learned, but before he could speak, he heard Elder Five say.
"We're here."
Meng Jingzhou leaned his head down and saw Yanjiang County below.
At this time, the shuttle stopped directly above Yanjiang County, its figure completely disappeared and could not be perceived by the naked eye.
"Go down."
The four looked at each other, searched around, but couldn't find any tools for landing.
Only those in the Jin Dan stage could fly; Li Haoran and Qin Yanyan were not yet in the Jin Dan stage, and Lu Yang was afraid of heights.
How were they supposed to go down?
Elder Five slapped his forehead: "I'll take you down."
Elder Five waved his sleeve, and Lu Yang didn't react to what had happened before he felt his eyes go dark. When he struggled to open his eyes, he found himself lying on the floor of the barbecue shop, with Li Haoran lying on his left and Qin Yanyan on his right.
"What's going on? Elder Five also knows 'Universe in the Sleeve'?" Lu Yang was surprised; wasn't this supposed to be a very difficult Great Divine Ability to practice?
The Immortal Fairy said gloomily: "No, he just knocked you unconscious and then moved you here."
