Chapter 493: Nishang Yuanjun, in 2 days
Chapter 493: Nishang Yuanjun, in two days
"Are these all members of the Hundred Immortals Alliance?"
A cold voice came down from the sky. The person who spoke was standing in the void, looking at an island below him.
Above the rocks on the coast, there was a huge ship floating. The ship had no oars or sails, and was flashing purple and blue electric light all over, with a strange shape.
There were originally no human beings on this island, but now there is a row of bungalows. A dozen monks are busy getting on and off the boats, and going in and out of the houses.
"Reporting to Yuanjun, they are from the Hundred Immortals Alliance." Nishang Yuanjun brought dozens of Yaochi disciples, and one of them, a woman in green, answered, "That is the unique Shenxiao battleship of Jiushan Sect. I heard that one ship is equivalent to a Jindan Zhenren."
Nishang Yuanjun nodded slightly and looked towards the sea in the east: "Those who didn't want them have already reached the edge of Xizhou."
They set out from Yao Chi and just as they entered the sea, they met people from Jiushan Sect. Upon seeing them, she couldn't help but be a little surprised.
"Yuan Jun, they have been here before." The green-shirted woman seemed to be the one who managed the general affairs of Yaochi. She answered again, "The disciples of Jiushan Sect came to visit us a while ago."
"Oh?"
"They want to do business in our Yaochi and come to pay their respects to the mountain."
"You are quite polite. Do you agree?"
The green-shirted woman lowered her head and said, "No, Lady Goddess did not see them. She said that it was unwise to anger Leiyin Temple for a mere nine mountains."
Nishang Yuanjun was silent for a moment, then sighed and shook her head slightly: "Since the changes in the Tianhe River, the sect is still unable to work together, and everyone has their own thoughts. It is really a troubled time..."
Her tone was full of worry, but everyone else remained silent, obviously not daring to say anything more about the matter.
After a while, the green-shirted woman who had spoken earlier broke the silence and said, "Yuan Jun, are we going to Jiushan first?"
Nishang Yuanjun seemed unwilling to say more, and replied: "Jiushan Zhengfa is now practicing Dongtian Fa, and the Supreme Dao asked me to give him some pointers."
The green-shirted female disciple had not expected this to be the reason. Upon hearing this, she smiled and said, "It seems that the Supreme Dao also knows that I, Yao Chi, am the number one in the Xuanwei Divine Dao."
There was no smile in Nishang Yuanjun's eyes, she only sighed softly: "Shintoism... my Yaochi prospered because of Shintoism, but now, I'm afraid it will also fall apart because of Shintoism."
"Yuanjun!"
Hearing the disciple's low exclamation, Nishang Yuanjun looked in the direction of Jiushan Sect, smiled, and said, "I just didn't expect that Jiushan Zheng Fa also took this path. What a pity..."
Hearing this, the female disciple asked curiously, "Since the Divine Path is flawed, why does the Supreme Path still ask you, Yuanjun, to guide him?"
"Besides, why does the Supreme Dao care so much about him? He would even not hesitate to entrust him to you, Yuanjun..."
Nishang Yuanjun looked back in the direction of Xizhou: "Leiyin Temple has planned for three epochs just to help Lu Yao achieve enlightenment. This is a disaster for my Yaochi, and it is also extremely difficult for Taishangdao."
"Since Zheng Fa can hinder Lu Yao from becoming a Taoist, the Supreme Daoist will naturally do his utmost to help him. What does a favor mean?"
The female disciple asked again: "The Supreme Dao placed its treasure on Zheng Fa?"
Nishang Yuanjun nodded slightly.
"But...then we can't let him practice Shinto!"
Nishang Yuanjun smiled, with a hint of sarcasm in her tone: "Even though the path of the gods has a thousand shortcomings, there is only one good thing - it's fast!"
"The faster Zheng Fa cultivates, the more chances he will have of winning against Lu Yao. As for the future..."
Nishang Yuanjun smiled and said nothing more.
But everyone else understood what she meant:
No matter what happens in the future, Zheng Fa is not a supreme being, so no matter how difficult it is, it has nothing to do with them.
"Then shall we also bet on him together with the Supreme Dao?"
Nishang Yuanjun turned her head and looked forward, saying:
"Although this trip is to deal with Lu Yao, it is mainly because of the trust of the Supreme Dao."
"Although Lu Yao's enlightenment is a big deal, the disputes within my Yao Chi have not yet ended. They will become hostile to each other at any time. I may not be able to hold out until then...
"This matter cannot be solved by a Zheng law, so how can we bet on it?"
The green-shirted female disciple nodded slightly, her expression solemn.
"If we can arrange the affairs of Tianhe Sect as soon as possible and then return to the sect to mediate, there may be some hope..." Nishang Yuanjun shook her head and said decisively, "We will stay in Jiushan Sect for two days."
As they were talking, the coast of Dongzhou was already in sight.
……
Zheng Fa and Senior Sister Zhang were standing on the coast of Liangzhou, looking west.
Nishang Yuanjun came to visit. After all, she was a real immortal and very polite. He didn't want to treat her badly. He even guessed a little about her intentions:
According to his understanding, Yao Chi and Hao Ri Mountain were both overlords in the Shinto era.
At that time, the Taoist Master had just founded the Yangshen Method, and the Dharmakaya Method and the Tianhe Method had not yet appeared. It is conceivable that Yaochi also rose because of Shinto.
But the situation of Hao Ri Mountain is special. It is no longer a Shinto sect. But the same may not be true for Yao Chi...
Zheng Fa always remembered that Mu Qingyan once said that in her "memory", the future power of Yao Chi would be called Shenting.
He didn't pay much attention to this before, but now it seems that Yao Chi has not completely broken away from Shintoism.
According to Li Shangxian, Yao Chi and Hao Ri Mountain are not getting along, and now they can be seen as grasshoppers on the same rope.
"Junior brother...something seems a little strange inside the Yaochi." Senior Sister Zhang suddenly said, "My disciples from Jiushan were turned away before."
Zheng Fa nodded when he heard this, understanding that his senior sister was reminding him that Yao Chi might not be trustworthy.
Xizhou is too far away from Jiushan Sect. Even with Zheng Fa's speed, it is not easy to go to Xizhou.
In fact, he had no idea about the Leiyin Temple and Yaochi in Xizhou, and obtained very little information.
Actually, he knew Leiyin Temple better, but he was not a friend after all.
But Yao Chi’s attitude… made him feel confused.
Yao Chi is the most mysterious sect among the four sects.
This sect seems to be composed entirely of female practitioners, and unless there are important matters, they seldom interact with the outside world.
There is one thing that Zheng Fa was quite impressed with:
The pillar industry of Yao Chi seems to have collided with that of Jiushan Sect - they are good at cultivating various spiritual plants.
However, there are not many trade conflicts between the two:
On the one hand, the Jiushan Sect cannot digest enough of its spiritual plants internally, so it has not yet thought about exporting them, and does not even want to export them in the short term.
On the other hand, the two sects have their own characteristics in spiritual plants, which do not overlap and the varieties are quite different.
In addition, Yao Chi is closed and somewhat self-sufficient, and the two sects are far apart, so they can live in peace.
The problem is that their attitude towards Jiushan Sect is vaguely contradictory.
This Lady of Nishang came all the way to visit, which seemed to indicate some goodwill. Even if it wasn't goodwill, it was still a gesture of goodwill.
But before, the disciples of Jiushan Sect were treated coldly in Yaochi... They were too fickle.
He glanced at Senior Sister Zhang and nodded slightly to show that he knew what was going on. His heart suddenly moved and he looked into the distance.
Suddenly, dense spots of colorful light appeared on the distant skyline.
After a while, Zheng Fa could see clearly what these spots of light were - they were all spiritual birds.
Dozens of birds of all kinds and colors rose from the sea level.
Peacocks and white cranes stand side by side, magpies and thrushes follow each other, and their tail feathers of various colors sway in the blue sea and sky, like rainbows.
Zheng Fa and Senior Sister Zhang flew straight up to greet the Yao Chi disciples.
Even though they were still hundreds of miles apart, Zheng Fa could already smell a strange fragrance that made his mind flutter.
Looking up, I saw a female fairy in the distance. Her body was covered with precious clothes like seven-colored clouds, and her face was glowing with golden light. She was a combination of solemnity and beauty.
When Zheng Fa looked into her eyes, he felt so admiration and joy in his heart that he wanted to kneel down and kowtow.
In the Huangting of his body, the Jade Book of Creation trembled slightly, and a cool feeling burst out and flowed into his mind.
In an instant, Zheng Fa's eyes became clear, but his heart was still agitated: this Nishang Yuanjun, it seemed that she had practiced some kind of charm technique, but she was more irresistible than the magic technique of the devil - even the Yin-Yang fish jade pendant in his mind did not react. If he had not practiced the "Huangting Sutra", he would have been afraid of showing some ugly behavior.
Seeing Zheng Fa wake up so quickly, surprise flashed in Nishang Yuanjun's beautiful eyes. She lightly tapped the crane's back, blinked and landed in front of Zheng Fa, and bowed first: "Alliance Master Zheng, I have heard a lot about you."
Zheng Fa bowed and said, "Greetings, Lord Yuan. Are these fairies your sect's disciples?"
Nishang Yuanjun smiled and nodded, saying, "They followed me to the Tianhe Sect to set up the formation."
Zheng Fa took a quick look and saw that Yao Chi had brought more than 30 disciples, including ten in the God Transformation stage and nearly twenty in the Nascent Soul stage. He had some idea of Yao Chi's strength in his mind.
After the group greeted each other, Nishang Yuanjun seemed a little anxious and said as soon as they met:
"I heard from the Supreme Dao that you practiced the Cave Heaven Method?"
Zheng Fa had nothing to hide, so he nodded in agreement.
"I, Yao Chi, have some experience in Shinto practice. This time, the Supreme Daoist asked me to come here to discuss with you the essence of Shinto practice."
Zheng Fa was stunned.
He also guessed a little about the purpose of this Nishang Yuanjun, but...
"Shangxian Li said that it was Yuanjun who wanted to visit, so he asked him to let him know first."
Nishang Yuanjun was also at a loss for a moment, and suddenly laughed: "It's probably because of Xuanding."
"Xuan Ding Zhenxian?"
"I'm afraid he didn't say it."
Zheng Fa secretly complained in his heart, could it be that Master Xuan Ding was also a forgetful person?
Nishang Yuanjun seemed to see through his thoughts and shook her head to explain: "He probably thought that it was enough for me to say it, and there was no need to repeat one thing a second time, and he didn't want to waste his words on Li Sanxian."
What’s wrong with these people in Tai Shang Dao?
……
Although it was an exchange, Zheng Fa still had something in mind: in the practice of Shinto, he was just an elementary school student, while Yao Chi was almost becoming a scholarly tycoon.
The other person was just being polite and said it was just a communication, so he naturally couldn't take it seriously.
He welcomed Yao Chi and his party into the Nine Mountains Realm and said to Nishang Yuanjun and the others with a smile:
"I have prepared a guest house. I hope Yuanjun will not mind its simplicity."
Unexpectedly, Nishang Yuanjun stopped, looked at Zheng Fa and said:
"The guest house is no longer needed."
Zheng Fa was stunned, and then he heard Nishang Yuanjun say again: "Tianhe is in urgent need of help, I don't have much time to waste."
The man was so anxious that Zheng Fa didn't know how to answer for a moment.
As if she really wanted to leave quickly, Nishang Yuanjun asked, "How long have you been practicing the Cave Heaven Method?"
Zheng Fa thought for a moment and said, "Eight years."
After hearing this, Nishang Yuanjun said, "The time is short, so it's simple. You just need to know some entry taboos. I will teach you the entry today. If you have any questions in the future, you can send me the book."
She looked very confident, like a college student faced with an elementary school math problem. However, Nishang Yuanjun was quite responsible and added:
"I'll go take a look at the treasures of your Nine Mountain Realm Cave Heaven, then we can talk about other things."
Zheng Fa was surprised to see her act so swiftly and decisively, but he also understood that Nishang Yuanjun was probably only here to do a favor for the Supreme Dao.
Obviously, Nishang Yuanjun does not value him as much as Taishangdao does now.
To be honest, Zheng Fa was relieved.
Of course, it is a good thing that these people value it.
But it wasn't really what he wanted - he just wanted to be quiet, and develop slowly when no one was paying attention, but unfortunately his strength didn't allow it.
After hearing Nishang Yuanjun's request, Zheng Fa led the Yaochi fairies to the medicine garden. Before they got off the rainbow bridge, Nishang Yuanjun stopped and looked at the power of incense in the medicine garden.
"Yuanjun?"
Nishang Yuanjun narrowed her eyes and looked at the beautiful, colorful clouds. She was silent for a moment and then asked again, "You just said, how long have you been practicing the Cave Heaven Method?"
"Eight years."
Nishang Yuanjun turned her head, looked at Zheng Fa, and repeated, "Eight years?"
Zheng Fa whispered, "Seven years and four months."
"..."
The expression on Nishang Yuanjun's face changed for a while. She looked at the dark power of incense beside the Sun and Moon Bell, and the confidence on her face faded away silently.
The expression on his face showed surprise as if he had encountered a new type of question.
She paused for a moment before she raised her feet and continued walking with Zheng Fa.
When she saw the medicine garden, she smiled again and said, "I've heard for a long time that the Jiushan Sect is very good at spiritual farming secrets, and can even cultivate pure bamboo. Now I see that it is similar to my Yaochi."
"Ok?"
Zheng Fa looked at Nishang Yuanjun with a puzzled expression, not knowing what she said or what she meant.
"The treasure of the cave can control time and space, and is most suitable for cultivating spiritual plants."
Zheng Fa thought about it and suddenly understood.
Before he took charge of the Nine Mountains Realm, Tianzun also used the Sun and Moon Bell to cultivate spiritual plants.
I think this is the traditional usage of the treasure of the cave.
Now, Nishang Yuanjun is probably praising his Jiushan Sect's medicine garden.
But from the sound of his voice, he seemed to be slightly proud of the Yao Chi's method of cultivating spiritual plants.
Nishang Yuanjun continued, "It's just that my Yaochi has the essence of Ren water, and we also have Yaochi Cave Heaven, so we are better at cultivating spiritual plants than other sects, and we also have spiritual roots of heaven and earth..."
There was a hint of arrogance in these words.
Zheng Fa also felt envious. If he had these things, why would he need to move technology from both sides? Until now, no suitable spiritual plants have been cultivated in modern times.
Seeing his expression, Nishang Yuanjun laughed and said flatteringly: "Looking at this medicine garden now, I feel a little familiar. I feel that it has some of the charm of my Yaochi Cave Heaven."
"For example, this Yunyang plum has five points more medicinal power than other varieties."
"This Falling Star Grass... seems to be a different species as well?"
"This chaotic fruit... Why is the yield of this chaotic fruit so high?"
Zheng Fa admired him in his heart.
It can be seen that Yao Chi is really good at cultivating spiritual plants, and this Nishang Yuanjun is an expert at it.
She could identify the species of many spiritual plants with just one glance, and could even tell the excellence of their species in a short time.
Even from her tone, she seemed to be extremely obsessed with this. Once she started talking about it, she wouldn't stop and even forgot about the Cave Heaven Method.
But Nishang Yuanjun's voice became smaller and smaller, until she looked at the exotic flowers and plants in the garden and gradually fell into silence.
"Yuanjun?"
Nishang Yuanjun looked at Zheng Fa and asked blankly, "You also have Renshui essence?"
"……without."
"Then why are there so many alien species in this medicine garden?"
Zheng Fa pointed at Master Qian who came out to greet him and said, "I have him."
This medicine garden is now almost an agricultural experimental field of the Nine Mountains Realm. Because the incense power of the Sun and Moon Bell is extremely strong, the scale of the experiment is getting bigger and bigger.
After these years of development, the spiritual plants that can remain in the medicine garden are either of extremely excellent varieties or rare and mysterious creatures that are hard to see.
As for a treasure like the Essence of Ren Water that sounds very powerful, Zheng Fa really doesn't have it.
But in Zheng Fa's heart, Master Qian, the agricultural expert he personally trained, is no worse than any rare treasure.
With such high level of cultivation, how could Nishang Yuanjun not see that this middle-aged cultivator was only in the late Jindan stage, at most about to form an infant.
Looking at the spiritual plants in the garden that dazzled her eyes, she really couldn't believe what Zheng Fa said.
But looking at Zheng Fa's serious expression, Nishang Yuanjun understood that he would not lie to her.
Nishang Yuanjun took a deep breath, looked at Master Qian, and actually bowed and said, "May I know the name of this Master?"
Master Qian responded with a blank bow, then looked at Zheng Fa with a puzzled look.
"This is the Immortal of Yaochi, Nishang Yuanjun."
"Really... a true immortal?"
Master Qian's calves trembled, and when he looked at Nishang Yuanjun looking at him with a slightly respectful look, his scalp felt a little tingling.
……
A month later.
The green-clothed female disciple pushed open the courtyard gate, holding a communication talisman in her hand, and reported: "Yuan Jun, there is a letter from the Supreme Dao."
Nishang Yuanjun was looking at a pot of spiritual plums in her hand, without even raising her head, and asked, "What did you say?"
"The Supreme Daoist asked when we would arrive."
"Not urgent."
"They asked us when we could set off for Tianhe Sect."
Nishang Yuanjun tapped the leaves of the Lingmei tree and said absentmindedly, "Two more days."
The green-shirted female disciple couldn't help but said, "Yuan Jun, you've said this three times!"
Seeing that Nishang Yuanjun still ignored her, the female disciple said again: "Yuanjun, didn't you say that the Tianhe Sect's affairs are troublesome, and the sect is in danger?"
Nishang Yuanjun stood up suddenly.
The green-shirted female disciple asked happily, "Yuan Jun, shall we go?"
"Where are you going?" Nishang Yuanjun glanced at her with a puzzled look on her face. "I'm going to ask Master Qian how to cultivate this exotic Lengyuemei, and to exchange some spiritual plant methods."
"..."
Yuanjun, didn't you hear what I said at all?
Watching Nishang Yuanjun hurriedly walk out of the courtyard, the green-shirted female disciple knew that what Yuanjun was talking about now was real communication.
……
Zheng Fa was trying to figure out the secret technique of the cave-heaven method taught to him by Nishang Yuanjun when he saw Master Qian coming in a hurry.
"Head!"
"how?"
Zheng Fa looked at Master Qian, who had a look of surprise and joy, and felt somewhat puzzled.
Master Qian shouted, "This morning, I discussed spiritual plant cultivation with Yuanjun. When we mentioned that we were looking for spiritual plants that could restore spiritual roots, she actually said she knew!"
Zheng Fa stood up from the stone bench, also surprised and happy.
"she knows?"
"Yes, Yaochi has cultivated several spiritual plants that can restore spiritual roots!"
