Chapter 78 Meeting Old Friends in the Valley

Chapter 78 Meeting Old Friends in the Valley

Chu Tai left Mangpan and arrived outside Sanqing Mountain with a fire.

This place is the Taoist temple of Cuihuang Taoist, and he is the only cultivator Chu Tai knows who practices the orthodox Xuanmen methods. He is also the person most likely to have connections with other righteous immortals.

Walking into Sanqing Mountain, you will see a large bamboo forest. The emerald green bamboo poles are straight and upright, and the slender bamboo leaves are dancing in the wind. As the bamboo branches sway, vital energy from all four directions gathers and spiritual inspiration from all five directions rises. It is obvious that a formation has been set up here to gather spiritual energy and absorb energy.

Standing at the foot of the mountain, Chu Tai picked up a bamboo leaf and threw it out, and a green light rose into the sky.

After a while, Taoist Cui Huang came out and said with a smile: "I was wondering why the plum blossoms in front of the cave suddenly bloomed today. It turns out that a distinguished guest is coming. Please follow me in and have a chat."

As they were talking, Taoist Cuihuang led the way and took Chu Tai to a small lake halfway up the mountain.

There is a simple bamboo pavilion in the middle of the lake. The scenery looks plain and ordinary, but it has a charm of returning to the truth after all the glitz and glamour.

When we entered, there were fruits and a chessboard already laid out in the pavilion.

Chu Tai, who was seated under the guidance of Taoist Cuihuang, took out a gift and presented it to the master, then told him the purpose of his visit.

Chu Tai concealed the information about Feiquan Shenjun and others and his own sect, but he did not conceal any other key details. He told Taoist Cuihuang all the interests involved.

After hearing this, Taoist Cuihuang's expression changed immediately.

"There is such a thing in our Chu State?"

Taoist Cuihuang stood up. After suppressing Wang Lan last time, she specially investigated the abilities of Hanba back then and found out how terrifying his magical powers were.

Hearing that the drought demon was going to make a comeback, he could not help but pace back and forth, looking a little annoyed.

"No, this matter is definitely not something you and I can handle. We need to ask others for help."

"I thought so too, which is why I came to you, Daoist Fellow Cuihuang. I wonder if you have any acquaintances who can help me."

After Chu Tai said this, Taoist Cuihuang fell into deep thought for a moment, and only spoke after a long while.

"I have a senior brother, his Taoist name is Mu Jing, who lives by the Baishi River. He liked to travel in his early years. I heard that he and four other cultivators formed a group and were called the Five Scattered Ones. I can go and ask them a few questions. But..."

Taoist Cuihuang hesitated for a moment before slowly saying, "Although I have a good relationship with my senior brother, I have no connection with the other four people, so I may not be able to invite them. As for the other fellow Taoists, except for Taoist Han Shang, Taoist Yaxian and Liu Peiyu, their cultivation is not as good as mine, so I am afraid they will not be able to play a role in this battle."

Chu Tai said quickly: "It's a good thing to have someone to help. Besides, we can only do our best and leave the rest to fate this time."

"Well, I will send a letter to invite you to come to my temple for a short visit. As for the rest, I'm afraid that Daoist Fellow Han Shang, Daoist Fellow Ya Xian, and Liu Peiyu will need to intervene."

Upon hearing this, Chu Tai immediately stood up and said, "Leave this matter to me."

After saying this, he said goodbye to Taoist Cuihuang and headed towards Huifeng Valley with firelight.

Compared with Sanqing Mountain, the environment of Huifeng Valley is much worse, with many rocks and very little vegetation, but the wind in the mountains is very strong, with strong winds blowing all year round, making it a good place to practice wind magic.

When Chu Tai arrived at the door, a young Taoist priest with a Taoist bun and wearing a dark blue robe was breathing in and out of the air in mid-air. He had a round figure and chubby cheeks that made his eyes look as if they were squinting, covering up his unusual green eyes.

After Chu Tai told him his identity, the little Taoist priest was still a little panicked.

He bowed respectfully to Chu Tai and carefully led him into a cave to sit down.

They did meet a few cultivators on the way. They all looked unhappy when they saw the little Taoist priest, and they ignored Chu Tai as well.

The young Taoist priest bowed repeatedly, and after Chu Tai sat down, he hurriedly ran in another direction.

After a while, Han Shang San Ren came in with brisk steps, bowed to Chu Tai to express his apology, and kept saying that he should come out to greet him. During this time, Han Shang San Ren also excused the young Taoist priest, saying that he had just arrived and was not familiar with etiquette.

Chu Tai himself had no intention of arguing with the young Taoist priest. Instead, because Han Shang Sanren had already spoken, he had to ask about the young Taoist priest's origins.

"This child's name is Feifei, and he is also a pitiful child. I believe you, fellow Daoist, have also seen that he has alien blood."

Chu Tai nodded and asked with pretended curiosity.

"It's just that this child's method of cultivation seems to be somewhat different from that of fellow Taoist."

"His mother, Fellow Daoist Yun, was a famous female cultivator in our Chu State thirty years ago. In her early years, she was fortunate to obtain the 'Tedna Rouyu Shenggong' which was extremely good at maintaining health. After practicing for two hundred years, her appearance remained unchanged and her vital energy was not lost. It was a pity that she encountered the Lotus Flower when she was out collecting herbs one day."

Hearing this, Chu Tai immediately understood the reason.

As the great sky created by primordial energy, there are many wonderful creations between heaven and earth.

For example, the lotus, which is nurtured by the harmonious yin and yang energy between heaven and earth, naturally has the power of aphrodisiac and pregnancy. As long as it matures, no matter whether it is an immortal or a mortal, anyone who smells a little of it will be affected by its medicinal properties.

During the period when the medicine is taking effect, whether men or women rashly collect external Qi that can combine with their own true Qi, they may become pregnant.

Sometimes you don't even need to collect external energy. If you stay in a certain place for a long time, you may be able to sense some kind of essence and become pregnant.

As a woman, Fei's mother is more likely to conceive under the effect of the Lotus Coconut Tree than a man, so it is not difficult to imagine the origin of Feifei's alien bloodline.

"So he is practicing the Taidena Soft and Healthy Life Skill? Then why did he come to you, fellow Taoist?"

"It's really pitiful. Fellow Daoist Yun encountered a drought not long after giving birth to Feifei. At that time, she didn't know the horror behind the disaster. She cast a spell to suppress the drought while treating the victims. In the end, her true Qi was eroded by the fire of the drought demon, and her cultivation was damaged and gradually regressed."

"A few days ago, Daoist Yun, whose cultivation had mostly dissipated, came to me and asked for a place for this child to go. He then passed away in my temple."

Hearing this, Chu Tai's feelings towards Fei Fei became even more complicated. He called the child over, and looking at the timid little fat boy, he took out a few pills and gave them to him, and also taught him a few small spells.

Seeing this scene, Han Shang Sanren couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and bowed to Chu Tai to express his gratitude.

"You are too polite, my friend. But since you are the head of a lineage, why do you need help from an outsider like me?"

Chu Tai had already seen that Fei Fei was not having a good time in Huifeng Valley. He was obviously not liked by his fellow disciples. That was why Han Shang Sanren kept mentioning Fei Fei's behavior.

Han Shang Sanren just wanted to use Chu Tai to gain some benefits for Feifei, or even help Feifei gain a foothold in this sect.

"I'm sorry to make you laugh, fellow Taoist. Although I am the head of a lineage, I am still bound by the rules left by my ancestors. This child had already entered the Dao before he entered the sect. I have already broken the rules by accepting him as a disciple. If I am biased again, there will be no peace in the sect."

Upon hearing this, Chu Tai immediately understood the reason. To put it bluntly, it was because of the peculiarities of Han Shang Sanren's Taoist lineage. He had to start learning from scratch, and it was also very difficult to condense his natal talisman. He might even need the help of a teacher.

By this calculation, Feifei is an opponent who is trying to seize opportunities for his senior brother, so naturally he doesn't have a good face towards him.

Chu Tai, who understood the reason, also shook his head secretly.

After Han Shang Sanren finished complaining about his grievances, he also asked Chu Tai about the purpose of his visit.

Similar to Taoist Cuihuang, Han Shang Sanren was also shocked when he heard what Chu Tai said. He immediately said that he would also look for many other fellow Taoists for help, and said that the matter of contacting the Liu family could be left to him.

"In that case, leave the matter of contacting Fellow Daoist Wu Chaoxi to me."

Chu Tai was not polite either. After completing the division of labor with Han Shang Sanren, he left with a fire.
