Chapter 57

  Crossing into Immortal Cultivation

  Xu Ziqing and Wang Yingwu spoke, even though they were just transmitting sounds, their expressions couldn't help but reveal some clues. On the other side, Wang Kangde was entertaining the ghostly Yin-Yang sisters, who were restless and anxious, but couldn't stop them from paying attention to this side.

  Suddenly, a gentle breeze blew by, and on either side of Xu Ziqing appeared two charming silhouettes, each smiling and saying: "Young master is being naughty, would you like to chat with my sisters and me?"

  Wang Yingwu's face suddenly turned pale, and he was even more regretful in his heart. If he had known that these two venomous women were so sharp, he would not have said those words for the sake of getting along with Xu Ziqing.

  Xu Ziqing also felt something was amiss.

  The two female cultivators smiled brightly, but their eyes were devoid of joy. The one on the right had a mottled color flashing across half her face, as if it was swimming across her skin. It was truly startling.

  Wang Yingwu saw it and was even more flustered, his lips trembling, and he really couldn't say a word.

  Xu Ziqing smiled warmly and said, "The two Taoist friends are polite." He also said, "I didn't say anything serious, just idle chatter. If the two of you don't mind, you can join us too."

  The ghosts found Xu Ziqing's attitude quite interesting, and they exchanged a glance, both smiling slyly. One pulled on Xu Ziqing's left arm, the other hugged his right arm, and they leaned in close to him: "Of course we don't mind, young master is so gentle, my sisters and I are truly delighted."

  Wang Yingwu was like a great amnesty, and he immediately stood up: "Since several seniors are familiar with each other, I won't disturb you. Please sit here!" After finishing speaking, he quickly flashed his body and let the seat be given to Gui Yinyang.

  On the other side, Wang Kangde had been paying attention and saw that Wang Yingwu was also relieved. The Wang father and son, seeing the ghost entwining Xu Ziqing, although they felt somewhat apologetic towards him, were still able to put their minds at ease.

  The two ghosts sat down together, and one of them turned his head to talk to Xu Zi Qing.

  Xu Ziqing saw Wang Ying's embarrassed appearance and couldn't help but laugh, then withdrew her gaze and nodded kindly at the two sisters.

  The two sisters found it increasingly strange. Although they looked young, they were actually over 40 years old. They had been making a name for themselves for more than 20 years, and women were still okay, but they had never seen any man treat them with such kindness before, how could they not be suspicious?

  The ghost's dark face twitched with a pattern of wrinkles as he said in a soft voice: "Aren't you afraid of us, young master?"

  Xu Ziqing was taken aback: "What's there to be afraid of?"

  The ghost's slender fingers lifted slightly, pointing at her own face, saying: "Young master, take a look."

  Xu Ziqing looked back.

  Only to see that the spots are getting more and more intense, not long after, hairy hands and feet come out, followed by the entire body slowly rising, revealing a terrifying spider.

  It turned out that the patterns on their faces were not tattoos, but rather a pair of yin-yang spiders that had been parasitizing them, making them look so eerie and terrifying.

  Xu Ziqing then knew again, indeed it is a big world with nothing strange or unusual.

  However, he smiled and said: "Fellow Taoist is ingenious, this beast pet looks intimidating, but being able to be inseparable from it is also very good."

  Gu Yin listened, then looked at Xu Zi Qing's expression again. He saw that his eyes were clear and bright, and he spoke sincerely, not like a deceitful person. However, Gu Yin still didn't trust him: "You're sitting so close to me, aren't you afraid I'll let it bite you?"

  Xu Ziqing listened to her ask this, and suddenly understood her thoughts. He then said seriously: "Let it bite me, it won't make a difference to me."

  The sweet smile on Gui Yang's face faded away, replaced by a cold sneer: "You're just good at speaking deceitfully, all men in the world are unlucky, you're acting like this, do you think my sisters will spare you?"

  Xu Ziqing sighed lightly: "If I like someone, my heart will only think of him, whether it's good or bad, it's all about him. Since there are so many people in the world who are promiscuous and flirtatious, naturally there are also those who are deeply devoted to one person. You sisters shouldn't..." He spoke up to this point, but felt that he was speaking too deeply for a shallow relationship, so he stopped talking and just smiled, not paying attention to the gloomy face of Gui Yin with its sinister expression.

  The ghostly yin and yang originally came to stir up trouble, also intending to bite this young man who doesn't know what's good for him. Now seeing him speak like this, it seems as if he is truly sincere, but she doesn't know what flavor is in his heart. Wanting to believe that not every man in the world is thin-skinned, but past experiences have made her harden her heart and dare not lightly trust.

  At this time, they didn't have the heart to talk to Xu Ziqing. They just sat together and started whispering to each other.

  Xu Ziqing felt a little sorry for the two sisters, but after all, she was not familiar with them and did not take the initiative to talk to them.

  At this moment, three unfamiliar Taoists came to the door, two men and one woman, all of whom were quite old. At a glance, their cultivation was also at the seventh layer of Qi Refining.

  The three of them had an arrogant expression, and since Wang Kangde and his son took the initiative to greet them, they casually responded with a few words and then found a place to sit down. They basically didn't speak to Xu Ziqing and others, as if avoiding them, but also seeming to look down on them.

  Xu Ziqing saw this and didn't bother anyone anymore, continuing to wait for someone to arrive.

  Before long, an hour had passed and the tea had been changed several times, but no one else had arrived.

  Wang Kangde was originally not in a hurry, but the three newly arrived monks were somewhat impatient. A fat one spoke up first: "Master Wang, have we come here just to waste our time like this?"

  Because Wang Kangde's cultivation was also at the eighth level of refining Qi, the three people's attitude was somewhat arrogant, but they also had some restraint.

  Wang Kangde was also a master of the house, and those three were not as difficult to deal with as the Guiyin sisters. He wouldn't lower his voice or show humility, but instead smiled and said: "We need to gather enough people, currently there are only six of us, so I'm afraid you'll have to wait for a bit. If it's really unbearable for you..."

  It goes without saying.

  The stout monk's face turned red, and he also found the host was a fellow Taoist. He immediately reacted and realized that this was not the small family he had visited before, so he couldn't be arrogant.

  Xu Ziqing saw this and sighed inwardly, thinking, "Why go to such trouble?"

  Those three monks, seeing that they couldn't gain anything, all retracted their attitudes. The fat monk was especially quiet, quickly lowering his head to drink tea and not saying a word.

  After a while, the door opened and three male cultivators walked in. One looked steady, one had an unstable gaze, and one had a slightly rough temperament. Their cultivation was all around the 7th or 8th layer of Qi Refining.

  。

  After the three of them walked in, their eyes inadvertently swept over Xu Ziqing before they all greeted Wang Kangde.

  Wang Kangde's face was filled with smiles, and his attitude towards the three people was completely different from before: "So several of you are also loose cultivators outside the alliance, welcome! Welcome!" Then he hurriedly added, "Just now there were also people from your alliance who came here, I don't know if you know each other..."

  He hadn't finished speaking when that somewhat reckless one suddenly opened his mouth in surprise: "Is it him?"

  The other two looked at each other and said, "We know him too, so we won't trouble the host to entertain us." With that, the three of them moved in unison and walked towards Xu Ziqing.

  The rough one took a few steps forward and hastily said: "Good kid, you helped us brothers out of a big trouble last year, do you still remember?"

  Xu Ziqing did not expect him to be so enthusiastic and hastily stood up, cupped his hands and said: "Which sirs are..."

  The three of them exchanged a glance, and the older one smiled: "A year ago, my friend transferred the storage bag to my three brothers. After that, I had a few tasks come out, with quite a harvest, all thanks to my friend's blessing."

  Xu Ziqing also remembered and smiled: "So that's how it is. I, Xu Ziqing, am also a member of the Outer Alliance."

  The three of them then introduced themselves: "We have sworn brotherhood as men of different surnames. The eldest is Yan Hongzhi, the second is Wang Jun and the youngest is Ruan Yuanliang."

  Xu Ziqing exchanged a few pleasantries with them.

  After everyone sat down, Nian Hongzhi said: "It's also a fate to meet here. After accepting this task, it's better for Xu Daoyou and me to walk together, so we can take care of each other."

  Wang Jun also smiled and said: "That's right, Daoist friend is young and promising, but won't look down on my brother, will he?"

  Ruan Yuanliang smiled and listened to his two brothers' words.

  They all said so, and Xu Ziqing couldn't refuse. Moreover, the three brothers were so enthusiastic in their treatment of him that he couldn't help but feel a little affection for them, and he smiled slightly: "The three of you think highly of me, let's just cooperate with each other then."

  Ruan Yuanliang saw Xu Ziqing nodding in agreement, his eyes lit up and he became even more enthusiastic, pulling Xu Ziqing to chat and talk as if they had known each other for a long time.

  Nian Hongzhi and Wang Jun, on the other hand, remained silent, listening to the two men talk, with a hint of a smile on their lips.

  This Xu Ziqing is indeed extremely approachable and easy to talk to...

  After getting along for a while, Nian Hongzhi and Wang Jun also joined in, speaking smoothly without any trace of awkwardness, following Xu Ziqing's words, which made it easy to win people over. Before long, the atmosphere among them became harmonious.

  Xu Ziqing's thoughts were pure and kind, and he didn't have a deep impression of these brothers. How could he have thought that they would harbor evil intentions? He only felt that coming to do this task and meeting the three brothers made him feel more cheerful.

  After waiting for half a time, no one came, so Wang Kangde lit an incense stick.

  At the same time, on the task walls of various tribes and scattered repair alliances, silk fabrics silently ignited. This means that the task has been cancelled.

  Then Wang Kangde said, "All of you are highly cultivated Daoist friends. Although there is one more person, I hope all of you can stay behind. What do you think?"

  All who came here were willing to take on this task, and although one more person was a bit hesitant, since Wang Kangde said so, everyone naturally wouldn't have any objections.

  Everyone said: "This is very good."

  Wang Kangde felt a sense of relief, the Wang family's ability to stand firm until now is inseparable from their many generations of masters being clever and not offending people. When it was necessary to be tough, they were tough; within the scope of what could be tolerated, they often tolerated.

  Then he said, "Wang has four sons to join this exercise, but as long as they are not seriously injured, each of you will have ten spiritual beads. And if this trip is safe and sound... Wang still has a big thank you!"

  Anyone who knows this Wang family knows what a heavy thank you is.

  All the monks were very happy and said: "We will definitely not disappoint the master's trust!"

  It's settled then.

  Apart from Wang Yingwu, the eldest son who accompanied him, there were also three younger sons. These younger sons were not as lucky as the eldest son, who had to cultivate up to the third layer of Qi Refining before setting out, while the younger sons only needed to come of age and wait for their cultivation to rise with the eldest son, regardless of how much they cultivated.

  Wang Kangde finished speaking, Wang Yingwu led the way, and the younger sons bowed to the monks again. Then they walked out of the door and stood in the open courtyard.

  Because there were many monks behind him, Wang Yingwu also had the heart to show off. At that time, he took out a Ruyi from his storage bag and threw it out with his hand, chanting: "Rise!"

  Then Ru Yi rose into the air, suddenly expanding dozens of times in size, resembling a small leaf boat.

  Wang Yingwu took a deep breath, jumped up and landed steadily on the small boat with his feet apart. After standing still, his clothes fluttered in the wind, making him look very majestic.

  At this time, the other three illegitimate children also jumped up, their cultivation was even more shallow, all in the first or second layer of refining Qi, wanting to go into the air, not as easy as Wang Ying's carefree, and seemingly a bit difficult.

  Now that all four princes have fallen into Ruyi's hands, it's time for the monks who came to protect them to show their skills!

  The three monks who were previously suppressed by Wang Kangde are now trying to save face, and they hastily take out their magic weapons.

  Only three flying swords escaped from behind them and shot into the air with a "whoosh".

  The three monks all let out a slight cough, and with very serious faces, they stepped forward. They also had some strength, in order to show off that monk's extraordinary air, they actually both put their hands behind their backs, step by step treading on empty space, before finally stepping onto the flying sword.

  Wang Yingwu and others were shocked when they saw their children.

  That fat monk burst out laughing, the female monk smoothed her hair, and the thinner one stroked his long beard, all very pleased with themselves.

  。

  The ghostly yin-yang sisters also burst out laughing, and Ghost Yin raised her slender hand to pluck a pearl flower from her hairdo, tossing it into the air. The pearl flower instantly released waves of faint fragrance, just like real flowers, looking fresh and lovely. However, it was as large as a millstone, many times bigger than ordinary flowers.

  Two sisters, hand in hand, with fluttering skirts, suddenly appeared standing on the flower bud. From a distance, their faces could not be seen clearly, but they seemed to be like celestial maidens, pure and incomparable.

  Nian Hongzhi and three others looked at Xu Ziqing, who made a slight "please" gesture.

  The three brothers did not decline and showed off their skills.

  Only a clear and crisp cry was heard, the sound of clashing swords rose, and a pair of swordsmen suddenly clashed in mid-air.

  The knife was scarlet red, its shape like water; the two merged into one, transforming into a coiled dragon, swirling and dancing.

  This knife belongs to Nian Hongzhi, and the sword is Wang Jun's magic weapon. Both were obtained during missions this year, because his two cultivation levels are higher, so he used them.

  When swords clash, they can create a giant dragon's shadow, but it consumes more spiritual power and has great power. Now that they have made their move, it is to show off their strength and also to gain Xu Ziqing's trust.

  Only then did the dragon lower its body, bringing its head to the front of the three brothers. It wasn't until they got closer that everyone realized this dragon was not a physical entity, but an illusion. Nevertheless, it was enough to demonstrate the power of the law enforcement agency.

  Nian Hongzhi and Wang Jun stepped up, full of vigor. They suppressed the momentum of all those who had just performed their techniques. Ruan Yuanliang had obtained a flying sword with slightly lower quality within a year, which matched his own attributes and was very powerful. However, at this time, he did not take it out, but instead went to the top of Jiaolong's head with his two brothers.

  Everyone in the Wang family showed a look of envy and admiration, even Wang Kangde couldn't help but have a few points of astonishment.

  Nian Hongzhi did not make the dragon raise its head. He looked at Xu Ziqing and smiled: "If Xu Dao doesn't mind, let's just be together?"

  Xu Ziqing smiled and shook his head: "Thank you, fellow Taoists, for your kind intentions, but..." He had already heard the sound of breaking through the air, and could not accept this generous offer.

  Sure, here is the translation:

  As expected, the next moment a black shadow swooped down and fiercely clawed at Xu Ziqing!

  Nian Hongzhi exclaimed: "Be careful!" but did not move his hand.

  Everyone present was also extremely surprised.

  Unexpectedly, the black shadow did catch Xu Ziqing, but it didn't harm him. Instead, it lowered its head and rubbed against him affectionately.

  Xu Ziqing smiled slightly and stroked the eagle's head: "Chonghua, how did you come down?"

  It was then that everyone realized it wasn't an attack after all.

  It was Yan Hongzhi and Wang Jun who flashed a hint of regret in their eyes.

  Chong Hua raised his head and let out a few loud roars at the crocodile dragon.

  Xu Ziqing suddenly understood and couldn't help but laugh: "You're still young, how can you carry me?"

  Chonghua grasped Xu Ziqing's shoulders with his iron claws and flapped his wings, lifting him off the ground.

  。

  Everyone then saw a divine eagle soaring high with its wings spread, grasping in its claws a young monk with an eye bandage and a smile, who was none other than Qing Shan, looking exceptionally gentle and composed.

  The ghost suddenly said: "So you also have a beast pet."

  Xu Ziqing's mind stirred slightly, and Chonghua had already brought him flying to the side of the crowd of cultivators. He then smiled and said: "Although Chonghua is a bird, it is also my family."

  The ghostly figure stretched out a hand and stroked the cheek where the spider had taken residence, curling up the corner of his mouth, but did not utter a word to mock him.

  All monks have reached halfway up in the air; it is already time for them to depart.

  Wang Kangde cupped his fists from afar and said in a loud voice: "I entrust everything to you all, please!"

  The monks also responded in kind, and immediately the various Dharma instruments emitted a brilliant light. In an instant, they transformed into colorful ribbons that flew off into the distance.

  Chong Hua raised his head high and let out a clear whistle, also bringing Xu Ziqing to quickly fly away.

  After Wang Kangde's death, several rays of light flew out again, and they were high-ranking cultivators from the Wang family who followed him.

  There were sharp claws grasping his shoulder, but those sharp claws were extremely careful and had not hurt him in the slightest. Xu Zi Qing was in mid-air for the first time without using his own spiritual power, and when he looked down, there was another kind of serene feeling.

  The earth is full of life and vitality, rich and prosperous, but when viewed from the sky, it seems that one's whole life is insignificant. When looking down, the heart feels especially broad and majestic.

  Xu Ziqing took a deep breath, the cold wind hit his face, and his long hair danced with it, occasionally sweeping forward. However, for some reason, it made him feel invigorated and gave him an air of vigor, making him feel refreshed and revitalized.

  It's just a small world, but it's already so vast...

  Looking back a few years ago, he had just stepped into the immortal path, seeing those high-ranking cultivators in the refining stage using magic tools and flying high in the air, his heart was filled with longing. When he saw various magical techniques, he also made up his mind to cultivate diligently without stopping. At that time, he even thought of carefully planting spiritual grass in the Hundred Herb Garden, and then taking root in the Xu family, accumulating cultivation...

  He didn't expect that it wouldn't be long before he was abandoned by the Xu family in a secret realm, but he inadvertently benefited from the misfortune and obtained the storage ring, met Yun brother, and also got to know Chonghua.

  Although he has some entanglements with the Scattered Cultivation Alliance now, he is still considered free. With a bird and a soul by his side, he no longer feels the loneliness of being alone in a foreign world. Even if he encounters many difficulties and dangers again, he will not be afraid.

  At this point, Xu Ziqing's body involuntarily emitted a thin layer of green light that was quickly absorbed and disappeared into the inner world of his body.

  Due to the solemnity of the occasion, he found himself in a high and lofty place. As he stood there, he gained insight into his body. It was during this brief moment of counting breaths that Xu Ziqing's state of mind underwent another slight improvement... In the past, perhaps there were many thoughts that could not be detected, yet they entwined his head, but at this time, he had already cast them all aside.
