Yu Qi's expression was solemn as he said in a clear voice,""May I ask, Immortal Elder, where in the world are there any holy lands for human cultivation? I sincerely want to follow the Tao. I'd like to try it and find a way to live forever.”
"The human heart is greedy, as expected." A cold snort sounded like thunder in Yu Qi's ears.
Yu Qi felt a sweetness in his throat, but he forced himself to swallow it.
Yu Qi turned around and saw Su Qingli, who had been silent all this while, staring at him coldly.
Ever since Yu Qi entered the Holy Zhi Palace and talked to Priest Yun, Su Qingli, who had been whispering to Su Qingling, had not looked up at Yu Qi.
But for some reason, he actually treated Yu Qi like this.
The reason was that Su Qingli had heard about the cause and effect of Howling Moon Monster King's provocation at Cangwu Mountain, and she had already developed a prejudice against Yu Qi.
When he heard Yu Qi talk about the method to obtain immortality, he couldn't suppress the dissatisfaction in his heart."A mere human ant dares to talk about immortality?”
Yu Qi did not know that he had already offended the Fox Country's Eldest Princess. In the blink of an eye, he saw that Daoist Yun, who had always treated others peacefully, had no smile on his face and was expressionless. His heart trembled.
Yu Qi quickly stood up and cupped his hands towards the Fox Country's Eldest Princess.""This brat is stupid. If there is anything wrong, please forgive me!”
The Eldest Princess of the Gu Kingdom snorted coldly.”
However, his expression was obviously better.
The little girl, Su Qingling, wanted to argue with her sister, but she had no choice but to shut her mouth when she saw the coldness on Su Qingli's face.
Although she had been doted on by her parents since she was young, she was extremely respectful of her elder sister. Although she had been spending time with Yu Qi for the past few days and there were some subtle feelings in her heart, most of it was due to the innocence of a young girl. Under the joy of seeing her loved ones, some romantic thoughts were thrown to the back of her mind in the blink of an eye.
His goal had been achieved, so Yu Qi silently took his leave.
Fellow Daoist Yun, please wait." Su Qingli stepped forward, and a three-colored auspicious cloud rose from under her feet. Green Spirit held her sister's arm and smiled sweetly,""Master, you have to come and see me when you're free.”
Su Qingling waved at Yu Qi and said,""Brother Yu, I'm leaving…"
Before he could finish his sentence, the auspicious cloud beneath his feet was activated by Su Qingli.
In an instant, the three-colored auspicious cloud carried the two women and flew into the distance, disappearing into the horizon.
Yu Qi silently watched this parting scene, speechless for a long time. After that, he turned around and strode toward the mountain path.
Daoist Yun looked at the tall figure of the stubborn young man who silently left in the distance. He shook his head and smiled, then quickly followed Yu Qi.
"Little friend, I'll give you a ride." Daoist Yun chuckled.”
After saying that, a white cloud appeared in the void. Priest Yun grabbed Yu Qi's arm and stepped on the cloud.
"Little friend, close your eyes," Daoist Yun said in a clear voice.”
Sitting on the auspicious cloud, Yu Qi opened his eyes a little. He saw the misty clouds lingering in the mountains, and a breeze blew over. The scenery around him also quickly retreated like a fleeting shadow.
Yu Qi felt that it was about fifteen minutes before he opened his eyes at Daoist Yun's reminder.
Looking back, he saw that Cangwu Mountain, which stretched for 1,200 miles and had more than 100 peaks of various sizes, had been left far behind. As for the graceful and beautiful Flying Goose Peak, which was like a fairyland, only a hazy shadow was left.
Yu Qi cupped his hands at Taoist Yun and said,"Thank you for sending me off, Immortal."”
After saying that, he jumped onto the cloud and suddenly thought of something. He turned around and threw a money bag to Yu Qi before escaping.
People of the immortal path rode on clouds and fog, traveling the North Sea in the morning and Cangwu in the evening. They were indeed so carefree.
Thinking of this, Yu Qi yearned for cultivation even more. He gripped his money bag tightly, turned around, and strode towards Qinghe County.
It was early autumn, and the sun was not too dazzling. Yu Qi followed his memory and walked along the official road to Qinghe County.
In this world, the sky was high and the clouds were low. The grass was lush on both sides of the official road. It was early autumn, and wildflowers bloomed in the endless green.
Qinghe County was just a small county. The city walls were no higher than twenty-five feet. The moat was filled with the water of the Qinghe River and was no wider than five feet. The low city gate had mottled green walls and hanging vines. Pedestrians came and went, silently telling the hustle and bustle of this era.
Yu Qi tidied up his luggage and pulled himself together. He crossed the moat that was like a jade green belt and entered Qinghe County with the crowd.
At dusk, an autumn rain drifted by. The sky was dark and unclear. There were few pedestrians on the streets. Thousands of lights lit up the gradually darkening night sky like stars, bringing warmth to Yu Qi!
On the second floor of an inn, Yu Qi had changed into an adult's outfit. He stood by the window and looked at the rain outside in a daze.
Then, he thought about the Peach Blossom Village incident in the county town in the morning, and his heart trembled.
Half a month ago, the passing demons attacked Peach Blossom Village, killing more than half of the 200 villagers.
Such a big matter could be suppressed by the Qinghe County Magistrate. It could be seen how insignificant the lives of mortals in the West were.
The sound of knocking on the door woke Yu Qi up from his deep thoughts.
"Sir, the food is ready.”A young servant in his twenties shouted at Yu Qi.
"Yes, come in and put the food on the table.”Yu Qi withdrew his gaze and said indifferently.
The servant pushed the door open and entered. He placed the food on the table and turned around to leave.
Yu Qi finished his meal and ordered someone to prepare hot water. He took a bath and washed away the dust on his body before lying down to sleep.
The next day, Yu Qi woke up early to settle the accounts. He first went to a weapon shop in the west of the city to buy a good sword, then went to a clothing shop to buy a few cotton robes, and asked someone to buy some rice noodles from the rice shop. He wrapped the goods up a few times, hired an ox cart from the horse and carriage shop, and rushed to Peach Blossom.
