Chapter 42: The Mysterious Immortal (VIP Unlocked)

  Two black cranes with yellow osiers in their beaks slowly flew through the white clouds and mist, gliding down to a green mountain and clear water, with elegant cliffs.

  A jade dragon-like waterfall hangs straight down from the top of the mountain, two Taoist boys in green robes are hugging two large flower vases, drawing water beside the deep pool under the waterfall. Two white-browed tigers guarding the mountain gate lazily lie on the big stone at the edge of the pool, their thick and thin tails hanging loosely in the pool water, their tails lightly swaying, attracting a few curious fish in the pool to swim around the ripples.

  On the edge of a pond, on a steep cliff thousands of feet high, large clusters of wisteria cascaded from the top to the foot of the mountain. It was the season when spring warmed and flowers bloomed, and the wisteria was covered with vibrant purple flowers like flames, making this cliff exceptionally bright. Amidst the dense wisteria, on a protruding patch of empty land in the middle of the cliff, stood a small wooden hut. The hut was delicate and slender, leaning against the edge of the small clearing at an angle, and when the mountain wind blew by, it seemed as if the hut could float away with the wind.

  In front of a wooden hut, on a yellow cloth cushion, an old Taoist with a kind face and white beard sat cross-legged. Next to him was a small three-legged incense burner, from which a thin thread of incense smoke rose gently into the air, carrying a refreshing fragrance that drifted down the cliff with the mountain breeze. In front of the old Taoist, four people knelt and one person lay prostrate.

  Xiu Gongzhu was one of the four people kneeling down, and the person lying down was none other than Jing Junzhu.

  Tears welled up in Xiū Gongzhu's eyes as she pitifully gazed at the old Daoist, repeatedly entreating: "Ancestor, please help Xiū'er! Look, Jiě'ěr was injured by a venomous snake and has become like this. Please help Xiū'er go offer apologies to Lín Xiāo, so that Yī Zuǔ Shīfu can spare Xiū'er from punishment."

  The clean and elegant princess lay on the ground, her face covered with a thin layer of dark energy, making her look weak and pitiful to the extreme. Her pant leg was torn open, revealing a swollen and shiny calf. On the calf was a thumb-sized patch of black blood, from which dark energy was spreading in all directions. The old Taoist held a medicinal cake in his hand, slowly using true fire to roast it into powder, and when he heard the princess's pleading voice, he merely rubbed his palms silently, without making a sound.

  After a while, the old Taoist grabbed Jiexiong's small leg and scratched it with his fingernail on the black blood stain. The skin split open, and a jet of black blood spurted out. Jiexiong's body shook violently, letting out a sharp, mournful cry. The old Taoist casually applied a handful of medicinal powder to the wound, which emitted a pungent, irritating odor when it came into contact with the fresh blood. Jiexiong suddenly opened her eyes wide, and with a hoarse voice, she let out a loud wail as her body convulsed in pain. The calf of her leg was gushing with black blood.

  The old man patted his hand and said lightly: "Purple ring jade snake, it's not a highly toxic thing, otherwise Jie Er wouldn't have made it here."

  He paused for a moment, and the old Taoist coldly laughed: "The trick of suffering flesh is not used in this way. The descendants of Qiuchao are indeed getting worse with each generation! Being bitten by a poisonous snake, instead of seeking help from the seniors of the sect, you ran to Lao Dao here to cry and complain. Your main purpose is to get close to Lin Xiao, isn't it?" He coldly stared at Xiu Gongzhu and others who were stunned, and shook his head: "This trick of suffering flesh is used in a clumsy way, but your nature is still barely passable. You didn't use the three followers, but instead let Jie'er get bitten by the poisonous snake, trying to move Lao Dao with this. This kind of thinking can barely match the identity of Qiuchao's descendants."

  The princess lowered her head and whispered in a slightly fearful tone: "Does the old ancestor know too?"

  The old man narrowed his eyes and said in a cold voice, "I've lived for over 200 years, I still have some insight. You can use my name to bully people, I can pretend not to know. But do you want to use this face of mine to curry favor?" The old man suddenly smiled coldly and said indifferently, "The imperial family is heartless, and the heavenly way is also heartless. My cultivation is the heartless way, this old face is still needed for my own calculations, it can't be used by you!"

  He let out a cold laugh, and with a wave of his large sleeve, a wild gust of wind blew up, sweeping the five people including Xiū Gōngzhǔ off the ground and sending them drifting away to a distance of dozens of miles.

  Xiu Gongzhu and her entourage got up from the ground, dazed and disoriented. Jing Junzhu looked at Xiu Gongzhu with a pitiful expression and whispered: "Elder sister, Grandmaster Yuanshen is unwilling to see you, what do you think?"

  The princess glared at the clean princess with a sinister gaze, and angrily said: "This palace said that you want to find a poisonous snake with a little more toxicity. You are afraid of death and only found a non-toxic snake. How can this deceive the old ancestor's eyes? Hmph! It's infuriating this palace! You can't even do such a small thing, what else is useful?"

  The young mistress lowered her head timidly and said in a low voice: "Yes, Jie'er knows she was wrong. Next time..."

  "There won't be a next time!" Princess Xiu waved her hand impatiently and said coldly, "The clever plan that this palace came up with was ruined by you. How could Master Yuxu possibly fall for it again?"

  Jie County's body trembled slightly, and she said in a pitiful low voice: "Then, elder sister, how can we get close to Lin Gong?"

  The princess Xiūngōng stomped her foot heavily and said in a gloomy tone, "Why do we need to get close to Lin Gongzhu? Huh? Have you thought about this?"

  Jie Junzhu and Ya Xiaojie stared blankly at Xiugong, shaking their heads. Didn't Xiugong herself suggest getting close to Lin Xiao?

  The princess sneered a few times, raised her head and said lightly: "Qingchu that little cheap person... Lin Xiao Gongfeng... Hmm, since the first ancestor is not willing to show up, then..." The princess glanced at Clean County with an extremely strange gaze, laughed strangely and said: "This palace has a way to make Lin Xiao Gongfeng obediently surrender. I heard that Lin Xiao Gongfeng is not very old, Clean sister, this matter, it's up to you." Clean County was surprised to look at the princess, her small mouth opened, seemingly with a lot of resentment, but she didn't dare speak out, her wronged and timid expression, however, made the princess feel delighted.

  A gust of wind from the old Taoist's sleeve sent the five people, including Xiū Gōngzhǔ, flying out so far that they landed in a small ravine. The ravine had a narrow river, no more than two zhang wide, flowing happily through it, with dense grass and trees growing on both banks, making the ravine very secluded. It was precisely because of this seclusion that Xiū Gōngzhǔ dared to reveal her plan to send Jié Jùnzhǔ to seduce Lín Liú in the Colorful Forest, leading to something happening between Lín Liú and Jié Jùnzhǔ, and then using this as leverage to expose Lín Liú's plans to everyone.

  "The little girl's mind is ruthless, but unfortunately, her plan is full of holes and is really crude." A lazy voice with a hint of evil suddenly came from the river water beside. Amidst the gurgling sound of the water, a mass of river water rose up from the river, and after a series of ripples and transformations, it turned into a young man wearing a white Taoist robe, standing in front of everyone with a smile on his face.

  The princess and her entourage were frightened, their bodies trembling with fear. The young Taoist priest who had suddenly appeared was surrounded by an aura of eerie mystery, his entire being exuding a thick, heavy atmosphere that seemed almost evil. At first glance, it was clear that he was not a practitioner of the orthodox way. This was the mountain gate of the Yuan sect, where would such an evil cultivator come from? Especially when this young Taoist priest's watery eyes kept sizing up Princess Xiu and Countess Jing, his gaze seeming to strip them bare, making their skin feel hot and itchy wherever he looked.

  The princess took a step back in shock and exclaimed: "Who are you?"

  The young Taoist slightly bowed and smiled, sizing up the towering chest of Xiū Gongzhu, softly laughing: "I am a 'Mysterious Yin Star' from Dà Lè Mountain's Extreme Joy Cave, a wonderful immortal. Today we have fate, and meet with you two little ladies here, this is heaven's arrangement for marriage! Why don't we three just follow the heavens and lie on the earth, taking the sky and earth as our bed, to comprehend that supreme wondrous Way?"

  "How dare you offend His Highness!" The two attendants of Princess Xiu shouted in unison, charging towards the young Taoist who claimed to be Miao Xian. They swung their fists, stirring up a fierce gust of wind that heavily bombarded Miao Xian's face. Miao Xian smiled slightly, and a blue light flashed in his eyes. Suddenly, the sound of rushing water was heard from the ground, and two waves of water appeared in the air, flashing by. The two brothers, Xiong and Ying, who were charging like mad tigers, let out a muffled hum as they were knocked flying by the two water screens that had suddenly appeared out of thin air.

  The Miao Xian Ren let out a 'heh heh' laugh, and on his face that was even more beautiful than the woman's by three points, an extremely sinister smile appeared. He reached out to touch the faces of Xiū Gōngzhǔ and Jié Jùnzhǔ, and said with a smiling face: "The two young ladies need not be frightened, in the Xiu Dao world everyone knows that I, Miao Xian Ren, am most fond of beautiful women, and would never harm them. Tsk tsk, this skin is very smooth and delicate! Rather than letting it go to waste on that Lin Xiaozi, it's better to give it to poor me. Ah, ah, who would have thought that today I would gain such a harvest by chance!"

  A puff of pink mist flashed by, and Miss Ya, who had been standing aside and was already frightened, as well as her two followers, simultaneously fell to the ground. The mist condensed into a square light banner about one zhang in diameter, from which the seductive laughter of the Miao Xian Ren continued to emanate. Princess Xiu and Countess Jing initially continued to struggle and scold, but soon their voices turned into blood-curdling gasps and moans. After about the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, the two women actually began to actively beg for love from the Miao Xian Ren.

  "Heh heh, this immortal has made his move, can these two little chicks still escape? Hmm, which one should this immortal favor first?" The Miao Xian Ren in the light canopy burst into triumphant laughter, and chuckled softly: "Forget it, Princess and County Mistress, of course the Princess gets priority on the sweets! Heh heh, these two little girls have such rich and abundant primordial yin, wonderful!"

  A loud cry of pain came from the light tent and faintly drifted in this small ravine.

  After a full two hours, the light column suddenly dispersed. The beautifully dressed Miao Xianren was standing there, rubbing her waist, looking very satisfied, and smiling slyly at the two exquisite bodies on the ground that were twisted into strange poses and shaking violently.

  The Immortal smiled softly and said, "The true yuan in your bodies has been transformed by me into my unique 'Harmonious True Qi'. From now on, you are the concubines of this immortal's Great Bliss Mountain Extreme Bliss Cave. In the future, you must follow my will. Hmm, you are disciples of the Yuan Sect, and this identity is truly perfect."

  They were exhausted, their vitality completely drained, and the princesses' faces were covered with an unhealthy dark aura. The two princesses lay on the ground, convulsing. Princess Xiu struggled to lift her head, gazing at Miao Xianren with a cold smile, saying: "You demon, I won't let you off! And neither will Yuan Zong!"

  "Hmph!" The Miao Xian Ren crouched beside Xiū Gōngzhǔ, his large hands rummaging through her body, smiling complacently: "How could you not let go of this immortal? Hehe, using your sheep-fat-jade-like body to enthrall this immortal to death? This immortal is begging for it! As for Yuán Zōng, hehe, this immortal indeed fears Yuán Zōng's power, but didn't you also steal the red pill from under Yuán Zōng's nose?"

  She let out a soft sigh, and the Miao Xian Ren cackled with laughter: "Your true yuan has already transformed into harmonious true energy. What's currently circulating within your bodies is this immortal's unique 'Extreme Bliss Divine Technique'. Heh heh, do you think Yuan Zong would take the lead for two depraved women of evil paths? If you're discovered by Yuan Zong's seniors to be practicing a cultivation technique in your bodies, I'm afraid you'll be beaten until your souls scatter."

  The two princesses, Hsiu and Chieh, were stunned. They stared blankly at the fairy, unable to utter a word for a long time. Their bodies shook violently, and suddenly they burst into loud wailing.

  The Miao Xian Ren looked at the sobbing and tearful Xiugongzhu and Jie Junzhu with satisfaction, and chuckled softly: "Well, well, well, just do as I told you, and you'll be fine. Hehe, what a lovely pair of beauties～～～"

  Her eyes gleamed with a strange pink light, the Miao Xian Ren gazed deeply at Xiū Gōng Zhǔ and said in a low voice: "Come, remember my words, from now on, you will do it this way."

  The princess stared blankly at Miao Xianren's pink pupils and slowly nodded.
