Chapter 107: Yuanshi Bridge

  "Ghost stick?!"

  Ning Feng shouted out loud, "This is magic! I spent a whole day carefully selecting it from the Fragrant Pavilion."

  Chen Ximiao walked over with his hands behind his back, looking rather pleased with himself. He let out a sigh and said reluctantly, "Alright, I suppose that's magic too."

  "What is considered..."

  Ning Feng showed various signs of discontent, while stretching out his hand to invite Chen Xiang to sit down.

  On the stone table beside it, a small earthenware stove was bubbling away, and the water had already boiled.

  Chen Ximiao naturally picked up water and elegantly brewed tea. In the blink of an eye, the fragrance of tea wafted through the air and steam rose gently.

  "Really elegant no matter how you look at it, every gesture, every movement, like a poem, like a painting."

  Ning Feng couldn't help but admire and praise in his heart, a smile spreading across his face as he watched this scene.

  Each person has a cup of fragrant tea, quietly savoring the tea, unaware of the passage of time.

  "Let's have another round, I didn't accept defeat last time."

  Chen Ximiao quietly finished her tea, stood up, turned her back and walked out, as if she had come here just to make tea.

  As she walked away, a stubborn voice came from behind her back:

  "This time in the Demon's Cave, let's have a contest."

  Ning Feng slapped his forehead with one hand, feeling frustrated and annoyed, shouting at her back: "Hey, hey, don't go, it's just a CEO, what's the big deal."

  "It's none of your business."

  Chen Ximicro turned back and waved his hand, saying: "I just don't want to lose to you."

  Her words fell, she stood on the ferry boat, bringing out a beautiful ripple on the water surface, fading into the distance.

  Ning Feng helplessly put down his hand and hung his head in despair. A faint voice floated over, weak and barely audible:

  "In just a few days, magic skills are mastered, really..."

  "...isn't it... amazing?!"

  Suddenly, Ning Feng raised his head and saw that Chen Xiang had already gone far away. His back was small like a white dot, faintly visible in the misty air where the sky and water merged into one color.

  Hahaha~

  Ning Feng laughed. He laughed very happily, "This little girl, doesn't even know how to praise people, saying something nice to their face would be fatal."

  "But..."

  Ning Feng laughed even more radiantly and clapped his hands, saying: "I just like it!"

  He was enjoying himself when a voice came from behind: "The master also thinks it's not bad."

  "Ah!"

  Ning Feng suddenly turned around and saw Tian Yunzi lightly cough a few times before walking out.

  "Master..."

  Ning Feng swallowed his inquiry and put on a smiling face, "How did you come here, elder? You could have just summoned me with a message."

  Heaven and earth are witness, what he wants to ask is when Tianyunzi came and what he heard. Is it really the way of a master to eavesdrop on his disciple's private conversation with a woman?

  I didn't dare!

  Tian Yunzi also seemed a bit embarrassed, clearing his throat several times to adjust his mood, saying: "I think Chen Xiwei is not bad either. You should try harder, strive to marry her as your Dao companion."

  "...Ning Feng's eyes were shrouded in a misty haze, and Tian Yunzi wondered when he had become so interested in such matters."

  Facing his puzzled gaze, Tianyunzi added: "When the time comes, I will definitely ascend to the heavens and choose a peak. In front of that old scoundrel Shen Nong, I will laugh three times."

  "What's so funny?" Ning Feng asked with interest.

  "He's so clever with his schemes, but in the end, it still benefits us, Tianyun Peak."

  Tianyunzi said it was only natural. Ning Feng also let out a sigh of relief, thinking that this was right, this was Tianyunzi after all.

  With idle talk finished, Tianyunzi's palm opened wide and an object entered Ning Feng's line of sight.

  On Tianyunzi's palm, there was a delicate object. It also exuded a distant and ancient aura, as if it had been drifting in the long river of time for countless years.

  "Bridge?"

  She walked up front, looking curious.

  The bridge in Tianyunzi's palm was just a small bridge.

  This small bridge presents a dark yellow color with green dots all over it, and its texture is like jade. The historical flavor comes rushing before you.

  Ning Feng looked at this small bridge, feeling as if he was in a museum in his past life, looking at the displayed bronze artifacts, with an ordinary and unremarkable feeling.

  "Yes, it's a bridge, and its name is Yuanshi Bridge!"

  Tianyunzi responded faintly and then threw Yuanshi Bridge at Ningfeng.

  "Ah~"

  Ning Feng was completely unprepared and hastily got up, flailing his arms and legs as he caught it.

  The Yuanshi Bridge feels heavy and cool to the touch, unlike its warm appearance. It seems like an ancient stone bridge that has spanned a long river and weathered endless wind and rain.

  "Yuanshiqu Bridge?"

  Ning Feng's mind flashed with the name of this bridge, without any reason or origin, and it was called Yuan Shi.

  Anyone who dares to have this name is not ordinary!

  Ning Feng raised his head and looked at Tian Yunzi, waiting for his own master to give him an explanation.

  Tianyunzi raised his head to glance at the sky, quickening his pace as he said, "I have come here in a transformed state, the battle on the other side is intense, I cannot stay for long, disciple, listen clearly."

  Ning Feng's expression was solemn and respectful, he clasped his hands together and listened attentively.

  It's just a minor spell or projection, and for someone like Tianyunzi, the consumption is negligible. Yet he said he couldn't stay long, which shows how intense the battle was on that side.

  It was a battle at the top of this world that couldn't distract even a bit of concentration.

  Ning Feng's thoughts were leisurely and yearning, when Tian Yunzi transformed and spoke: "This Yuanshi Bridge is the opportunity that Master and the various mountain masters jointly ascended to heaven to choose a peak for you."

  "Shen Bu Yi was still trying to cheat that old scoundrel, but after a deep exchange, he finally willingly handed over the treasure."

  Ning Feng listened intently, and his inner doubts were even more numerous: "In-depth exchange? Is that just a euphemism for being besieged? Wholehearted willingness? I'm afraid not necessarily!"

  But he didn't dare interrupt at this moment, and listened attentively as Tianyunzi continued speaking.

  "The Yuanshi Bridge, which can be traced back to ancient texts from tens of thousands of years ago, is a rare treasure between heaven and earth. Each Yuanshi Bridge represents an opportunity."

  "No one knows how Yuan Shi Bridge was born, only that it absorbs the intangible power between heaven and earth to a certain extent, and then opens."

  "After the opening, the controller of Yuanshi Bridge only needs to step in for the first time. If they have not yet established a foundation for their immortal path and are considered ordinary humans, they can all step onto Yuanshi Bridge before their power is completely exhausted."

  At this point, Tianyunzi paused for a moment, furrowed his brow, and looked up at the sky.

  Seeing his expression, Ning Feng immediately guessed that something unexpected had happened in the war in the south, or it had reached a critical moment. He couldn't help but want to ask Tian Yunzi to leave first and explain another day.

  Tianyunzi didn't give him the chance, continuing to speak rapidly: "The Yuanshi Bridge connects the outer realm, and as long as you step onto it, you will encounter a certain pinnacle existence of the outer realm."

  "In this process, there are many organic connections, and it is difficult for non-participants to recount them thoroughly."

  "When you arrive at the scene, it will be clear naturally."

  Tianyunzi spoke and spoke, his body gradually becoming fainter, as if he was a wisp of smoke drifting away. He became thinner and thinner, but his voice remained clear and audible.

  "As a master, I don't know how many times you can set foot on it, but I just want to remind you of one thing: cherish this opportunity."

  "When its power is exhausted, the Yuanshi Bridge will disappear without a trace. When it reappears, no one knows which corner of the world it will be in, and it's feared that it will be difficult to find."

  "According to the ancestors of our sect, this Primordial Bridge should be opening in the mortal world very soon. I'm afraid that you might regret it later, so I've rushed back to hand over the Primordial Bridge to you first."

  "When it's open, don't be stingy."

  "It's time for me to leave!"

  His voice fell. The figure of Tian Yunzi completely disappeared from Ning Feng's line of sight, and if it weren't for the heavy Yuan Shi Bridge in his hand, everything would seem like a dream.

  "Master is indeed..."

  Ning Feng was at a loss for words and finally let out a long sigh with gratitude, "It's been a painstaking effort..."

  As for Shen Bu Yi returning and seeing that the Yuanshi Bridge was gone, he was furious. Ning Feng didn't care about it anymore. It seemed that even the majestic God Palace's leader wouldn't possibly ask a junior for something, right?

  Tianyunzi left, Ning Feng played with the Yuan Shi Bridge for a moment, didn't find anything unusual, and knew that the time to open it had not yet arrived. He then found a rope and hung it in front of his chest, considering the matter settled.

  "I'm really looking forward to it."

  "What will happen when I step onto the Genesis Bridge and encounter the most supreme existence from a foreign domain?"

  Ning Feng thought wistfully and returned to his quiet study in the Water Cloud Villa.

  ……

  When Ning Fengxi was overjoyed at getting the Yuanshi Bridge, Chen Ximiao's face, who had descended from Tianyun Peak, also wore a smile.

  By her side was Yue Ru, a personal maid sent by the Chen family.

  Since the day Yue Ru followed Chen Xikui into the outer gate of the Spiritual Palace, she had rarely seen Chen Xikui with a smile that lasted for so long, and couldn't help but feel curious.

  She had endured all the way until they reached the foot of the mountain, when she could no longer bear it, her ears suddenly perked up and she faintly heard Chen Xiwei muttering to himself.

  "Wow...that's amazing."

  "How did he manage to do it?"

  "I won't lose to him either!"

  Chen Ximiao still had a clean and pure smile on his face when Yue Ruhao curiously poked his head over, as clean and pure as Ning Feng's bookish appearance, clear and transparent.

  "Miss..."

  "Are you okay?" Yue asked anxiously.

  Chen Xiwei's two hands remained clasped behind his back as he walked towards the stalls in town, smiling and saying, "It's nothing, I just suddenly felt like eating something."

  Honeyed fruit, melon and fruit, pastries...

  As they walked along, the things in Chen Xiwei's arms grew more and more numerous, and the smile on her face became increasingly radiant.

  The moon is like a head of fog, and no matter how you ask, it can't be explained. Later on, I just wanted to quickly finish this journey and beg not to buy any more snacks, these are enough to eat for a year.

  These distracting thoughts swirled in Xiaoyao's mind, causing her to neglect the young mistress ahead of her, who was eating honeyed fruit that she normally wouldn't touch, humming a tune that she never deigned to hum before, strolling down streets that she never had the leisure to stroll down, spending time that she never dared to waste, passing the days away from Tianyun Peak.

  The sky gradually darkened.

  At the residence of Chen Ximiao on Tianxuan Peak, which she named Wutong Residence, the moon was like a sore arm, and her ears were perked up longer than during the day.

  She was listening to the sound of the guqin coming from Chen Xiwei's room in Wutongju.

  That was a tune Chen Xiang didn't want to play at all

  Phoenix arrives!

  "The young lady's mood today is really good."

  The little girl who didn't understand the situation was thinking like this.
