Chapter 724: Visiting the Moon Laurel Xiangong
Between the Central Continent and the Far North, there is a continuous snow mountain range spanning east and west, with heavy snow all year round and rarely a sunny day.
"So this is the legendary Great Snow Mountain." Lu Yang stood at the foot of the snow mountain, shielding his eyes, looking up. Behind the bustling goose-feather snow, a towering pure white mountain lay quietly in front of him.
"It's not really a legend, it's just that the place is too remote and no one wants to come here." Seeing Lan Ting, who was on the side, laughed.
This was a modest statement. The Moon Laurel Xiangong was considered a semi-reclusive immortal sect, rarely communicating with the outside world. When the outside world wanted to communicate with the Moon Laurel Xiangong, such as seeking help, issuing missions, holding righteous path meetings, immortal sect gatherings, etc., they all relied on the contact hall at the foot of the mountain to convey information.
However, there were also situations where no communication was needed and outsiders could go directly to the Moon Laurel Xiangong, such as Seeing Lan Ting taking Lu Yang up the mountain. Folk generally called this behavior "taking the back door."
On both sides of the winding path up the mountain, one could often see small trees as clear as jade, over a person's height, as exquisite as works of art.
"Is this a Moon Laurel tree?" Lu Yang saw a living Moon Laurel tree for the first time. What he saw in the outside world were just branches of the Moon Laurel tree.
Moon Laurel trees only grew on the Great Snow Mountain. Once they left the Great Snow Mountain, they couldn't survive no matter what divine ability or means were used to prolong their lives.
"Yes, the Great Snow Mountain is full of Moon Laurel trees. Legend has it that 300,000 years ago, the ancient immortals fought a great war, kneading the stars into a continent, and the moon became the current Great Snow Mountain."
"Fairy, is that so?" Lu Yang sought verification from the Immortal Fairy, who was sometimes effective and sometimes not.
"Should be. Analyzing the soil composition under our feet, it is indeed the moon. At that time, Moon Laurel trees did indeed grow on the moon. The Jade Rabbit often dug holes and pits under the trees. The Nine-Layer Immortal often ran to the moon to catch Jade Rabbits for breeding, and the Ying Tian Immortal often took the Heaven-Opening Axe to the moon to chop down Moon Laurel trees and bring them back for me as firewood."
"Let me tell you, the food cooked with Moon Laurel trees has a unique fragrance, and no other tree can produce such a similar fragrance."
The two climbed the Great Snow Mountain slowly. The Great Snow Mountain was 30,000 meters high, the highest mountain in the cultivation world. Ordinary cultivators found it difficult to climb, but Lu Yang and Seeing Lan Ting were both Spirit Transformation stage cultivators, and the two climbed the mountain as if walking on flat ground.
The closer they got to the top of the mountain, the higher the frequency of Moon Laurel trees, and they became taller and taller, all large trees over ten meters high.
When Lu Yang climbed onto a giant rock platform and saw a clean white palace nestled in the mountains, beautiful and magnificent, like a fairyland, it was the Moon Laurel Xiangong that people talked about but rarely visited.
Seeing Lan Ting led Lu Yang to the entrance of the Xiangong. Two female disciples on duty saw a man approaching the Xiangong and instinctively became vigilant, holding weapons to block the entrance.
Seeing Lan Ting was just about to explain when she saw these two female disciples clearly see Lu Yang's appearance, and they asked with a hint of joy amidst hesitation: "Could it be that you are Senior Brother Lu Yang of the Wendao Sect?"
Lu Yang nodded, always feeling that the eyes of these two female disciples looking at him were not normal.
Seeing Lan Ting secretly said "bad." She only thought about inviting Lu Yang to the Moon Laurel Xiangong to bring the two closer, but forgot how popular Lu Yang was in the Moon Laurel Xiangong!
"Didn't the Buddhist Son, Young Master Meng, from the Imperial City come?" The two female disciples looked around, wanting to see the legendary cold Buddhist Son who was serious, kept away from women, and focused on the Dao.
"He is currently at a critical stage of cultivation and it is inconvenient to come here." Lu Yang said.
This was the truth. Given Meng Jingzhou's current situation, the most important thing was to stay away from women. A place like the Moon Laurel Xiangong, full of beauties, was a forbidden zone for him.
"So that's how it is, Senior Brother, please enter." Without needing Seeing Lan Ting to explain, the two female disciples let them pass directly.
Just as Seeing Lan Ting said before, the rules of the Xiangong were actually not that strict.
Of course, whether it was strict or not mainly depended on who the other party was. If it were Daoist Wuyu, he wouldn't have such good treatment.
Seeing Lan Ting already regretted bringing Lu Yang to the Xiangong; it would have been better to bring him home as a guest.
But since she had already brought him to the door of the Xiangong, it was too late to go back on her word.
Inside the Xiangong, it was silver-clad and white, with a thick layer of snow on the eaves and treetops.
The Moon Laurel Xiangong naturally had the ability to clear the snow, but the founder of the Xiangong, True Person Zhuiyue, believed that this environment was conducive to the cultivation of Taiyin power, so there was no need to open a barrier to block the heavy snow outside.
"I'll take you to find Master first."
Lu Yang's expression was a bit subtle.
Seeing Lan Ting's master, the Palace Master of the Moon Laurel Xiangong, Luo Hongxia, was a figure from the same era as Daoist Wuyu, a highly respected elder, and had also been beaten by Lu Yang when suppressed to the same realm.
It couldn't be called being beaten by Lu Yang; a more accurate way of saying it was being beaten by Lu Yang possessed by the Immortal Fairy, beating Luo Hongxia until her mouth was full of leaves.
Seeing Lan Ting was worried that Lu Yang's whereabouts would be discovered by the disciples of the Xiangong, so she hurriedly pulled Lu Yang to find her master.
It was a pity that no matter how fast they were, they couldn't run in the Xiangong. Along the way, they met several disciples of the Xiangong who recognized the famous Lu Yang.
Before they could open their mouths to ask, Seeing Lan Ting pulled Lu Yang and ran far away.
"Master, look who I brought!" Seeing Lan Ting arrived at the Palace Master's cave dwelling and asked excitedly.
"Lu Yang?" Luo Hongxia saw Lu Yang and remembered the experience of being beaten by Lu Yang, and her expression was a bit unnatural.
"Junior Lu Yang pays respects to Palace Master Luo." Lu Yang had always been well-behaved in front of elders; when he wasn't well-behaved, it was because he was possessed by the Immortal Fairy.
"Master, I went out on a mission and encountered a Ruthless Sect elder. It was Senior Brother Lu Yang who appeared and saved me. I thought about inviting him to our Xiangong as a guest, is that okay?"
As a disciple of the Palace Master, Seeing Lan Ting had life-saving moves, so even if Lu Yang hadn't appeared, she wouldn't have been in life-threatening danger, but this didn't prevent her from saying so to the outside world.
Luo Hongxia's eye corners twitched slightly. You already brought the person to me and asked me if it was okay; can I say no?
Looking at the rare excitement on Seeing Lan Ting's face, Luo Hongxia sighed in her heart. She had long said to stay away from Wendao Sect disciples to avoid being influenced in her thinking. Her good disciple completely didn't take her words to heart.
A grown daughter can't be kept.
She sighed in her heart, and on the surface, she said calmly: "Since he saved your life, coming to my Xiangong as a guest doesn't break the rules."
Having received her master's approval, Seeing Lan Ting happily took Lu Yang away from the cave dwelling.
Just as she pushed open the door of the cave dwelling, she saw many disciples of the Xiangong surrounding the door, like orioles and swallows, which dazzled Lu Yang.
"Finally saw the legendary Senior Brother Lu Yang?"
"Don't squeeze, don't squeeze."
"Senior Brother Lu Yang, how long will you stay in the Xiangong?"
"Senior Brother Lu Yang, can you tell us what kind of person the ancient ancestor of the Dragon tribe is?"
The disciples of the Xiangong were very interested in this Senior Brother Lu Yang who had many legends added to him. The news of Lu Yang coming to the Xiangong spread quickly, and everyone blocked the door wanting to see how much difference there was between the real Lu Yang and the Lu Yang in the portraits.
Lu Yang had never seen so many beautiful female cultivators, and for a moment he was at a loss, rarely showing embarrassment. ===== CHAPTER 725 =====
