The Spirit World

Chapter 59 Five Elements Bagua Bottle

【Wenti County Northern Port】

After a bustling day, the only sound left in the Northern Port was the buzzing sound of the ship whistle driven by the magic core, which bid farewell to the day's work. Close to the coast, the entire Northern Port was embedded in the afterglow of the setting sun, revealing a dim sense of age. It was a golden afterglow, but at this moment, there was some heavy dust floating around, covering up the glory.

"We really can't let you work here, sir." The foreman hunched in front of him. Years of hard work made his back look like it should be hunched, but he was still hunched. With a very bitter expression on his face, he spoke in the more ancient Elvish language: "I know this is a very difficult thing for you, but I..."

"It's okay, it's not your fault." The man in front of the foreman also spoke fluent Elvish. He was tall and strong, with golden hair that looked a little messy. His beard was full on his chin, making him look wild and rough.

"I'm really sorry." The foreman bowed again and handed him the thing in his hand. The man took it without saying anything, slowly turned around and left. His clothes were covered with dust, and even his entire face was gray and unrecognizable. He put his coat on his shoulder with his left hand and put his right hand into his trouser pocket. He looked at the street which was still under the dim sunset, took out a handful of cigarettes, knocked them, and a cigarette was shaken out. He stuffed the cigarette into his trouser pocket, held the cigarette in his mouth, circled his hand in the wind, and lit it. Wisps of white smoke and the floating dust dispersed the golden color that made him very uncomfortable.

He walked slowly, the smoke in his nostrils becoming heavier. On this deserted street filled with the afterglow of the setting sun, he felt dazed and for a moment, he could not find his way home.

【Bai Ling Mountain Library】

"Chang Yufeng? Chang Yufeng... Chang... the son of Chang Yinglan?" Lang Yishuweng stroked his beard and looked at the handsome young man in front of him. "Are you really Chang Yufeng?"

"Yes, it's absolutely true. Is there anything I can do for you, grandpa?" Chang Yufeng looked at the white-haired old man who was a little excited and surrounded by blue fishes. He was sitting there very respectfully. Next to him was a man flipping through a book emitting purple light, and Lin'er was also searching for the secret book of the Qilin Tank on the bookshelf. Only the half-demon boy was sleeping on the stairs with a broom next to him. He was thrown to the ground by the old man. Chang Yufeng didn't want to cause trouble, so he went to beg for mercy. He didn't know what this arrogant man had done to make the old man so angry, but Chang Yufeng still had no choice but to beg for mercy for him. It was like someone you hate is always by your side, but You have to beg him not to cause trouble, so that you don't have to clean up his mess. You can't avoid it. It's really surprising that such a person is judged as a heavenly level by the fairy stone, but Chang Yufeng has no right to blame him. After all, he almost was such a boy. What makes him incredible is that the indifference he gives him is exactly the same as the indifference those people gave him back then, except that this half-demon boy is not that powerful. Ten years ago, when he was still in the world, he was the most powerful kid in the welfare home, but a... He also thought about telling him something, but is he really qualified to persuade him? This is a very serious question. So much so that he felt like he was looking at his former self.

The old man called himself Langyi Shuweng. His appearance did not stop them from flipping through the books here, but he did not let the half-demon boy touch any book. He was the caretaker of the library. According to him, he had been guarding here for hundreds of years. When pleading for the half-demon boy, the old man also asked their names.

"Great, wait for a moment, I'll be back soon." After saying that, he flew out, and the blue fishes flying in the air slowly followed him. In the pavilion filled with books, the stairs leading up were placed in the middle. This was obviously the structure of some pagodas. No one knew whether it was intentional or this was originally a pagoda converted into a library.

During the time he was back, Chang Yufeng looked at the sleeping half-demon boy and admired him a little. With his qualifications, he would definitely not fail to think that this was a great opportunity to look through ancient books and improve his strength. If he could remember the powerful powers in some ancient books, his strength might break through quickly. Even if he couldn't read, he should have the audacity to ask for advice. Was it really because of his face? Was he dissatisfied with his identity? That would be a bit of a joke, or maybe he had a more difficult question to ask.

When he provoked me for the first time, I endured it again and again, and no conflict broke out. This morning, his attitude was obviously taught by someone. Could it be the chief steward or the prime minister? The probability is a little small. If my guess is correct, who could have made him change so drastically all of a sudden?
I don’t know. To me, he might just be a casual acquaintance. To Lin’er, who has been slowly chatting with her, there is no need for this half-demon boy to be so harsh to him.

After all, I have already lived for twenty years.

Looking at Erica who was already trying to form a seal, this little girl suffered the most today. The lightning in the periphery was actually not fierce, and it was not difficult to dodge, but the almost non-stop dodging still made her suffer a lot, and her dodging movements were completely arbitrary, which was also the reason why she was chased all over the ground by lightning.

Lin'er herself admitted that she did not learn everything her master taught her. It took her a long time just to control the Universal Hand freely. She also lacked practical experience. The Qilin Cylinder was so ferocious that today's defeat was inevitable. So she was still running. She looked at Lin'er's forehead, which was covered by Lin'er's hair from the left. The hair that was originally cut off was simply cut on the left side. If it weren't for Lin'er's appearance that could support any hairstyle, not everyone could handle it. She thought she had some way, but the way was for her to "solve" the Qilin Cylinder herself. Next time, she must ask clearly and hold her back. If she had the ability to do it, such a thing would never happen.

Lin Er seemed to have a sixth sense. She saw Chang Yufeng looking at her and smiled at him. Although this might have been a common thing in the past, this time Chang Yufeng did not smile back. They were friends in the other world who were kept secret. Friends? Really friends? She was clearly a mystery.

"Here I come! Sorry to have kept you waiting!" Lang Yishuweng flew down from the pavilion, and the blue fish flying around him jumped for joy.

"This is something your mother asked me to give you." The bookkeeper handed the thing in his hand to Chang Yufeng. It was a very thick book with five elegant characters written on it with a brush: Records of the Spirit World Here

"My, mother?" Chang Yufeng didn't even look at the thick book, but kept staring at the old man who was reading the book. The smallest fish beside the old man suddenly jumped to his side. The fish emitting blue light rubbed against his face, and then swam to his head, as if it wanted to make its home on his head.

"Its name is Ning Xiaolan. Your mother asked me to give it to you. It's a little goldfish. I don't know the details. Your mother didn't tell me either." Shu Weng smiled: "Yes, your mother."

Chang Yufeng didn't know how to describe his feelings. As far as he knew, his father and mother had disappeared long ago, or had... This was also something he had not asked the chief steward. When he first arrived at Bailing Mountain, he was excited and sad, but when he saw that only the chief steward came to pick him up, everything slowly returned to calm from then on. He had thought about what it would feel like when they met, but this fantasy suddenly began to shatter. Zhaozhao and Chunxi had been with him for three months and had never told him anything about their parents. At that moment, he felt a little inexplicably sad, but he didn't understand why, and gradually he calmed down. He developed a habit of thinking, and that kind of self-comforting thinking would still soothe his sadness little by little.

"Did she tell you anything else?"

“That’s not available anymore.”

"..."Chang Yufeng looked at the hardcover book with some disappointment, but one corner of it was damaged.

"Don't be sad, child, you will be able to see them one day."

"……real?"

"of course."

"Do you know how to meet them?"

"..." The blue goldfish swam down his head and rubbed his face. Chang Yufeng did not drive the goldfish away. He focused on Shu Weng. Shu Weng turned around and did not answer him. The other fish around him quickly followed him.

"I'm sorry, I don't know." Shu Weng still spoke, but he didn't turn around. He still had his back to him and gave a negative answer.

Chang Yufeng sensed his embarrassment. The most important thing now was to ask about the Qilin Jar to see if there was anything he could learn. He put the book into his sleeve and said to the bookkeeper, "Grandpa, don't be embarrassed. I'm just asking. Do you know about the Qilin Jar?"

"Of course I know that!" Shu Weng floated back in front of him, and the blue fish quickly came behind and around him. The little goldfish lay on Chang Yufeng's shoulder and wagged its tail happily.

"I hope you can give me some advice, grandpa." Chang Yufeng saluted and bowed.

"Boom!" Just around Chang Yufeng, an explosion sounded suddenly, and the air wave hit the two of them. Chang Yufeng and Lang Yishuweng were blown away without any warning. The books around them were blown away, and the flying dust even covered the first floor of the library in an instant.

"Ah~", they both screamed at the same time. Fortunately, there was a bookshelf nearby to grab onto, but their bodies were blown up. Chang Yufeng forced his eyes open in the air wave, trying to see where the sudden explosion came from.

"Cough, cough, cough" the half-demon boy was blown away and hit the bookshelf hard, spewing smoke and dust from his mouth. It seemed that this place really needed to be cleaned.

This gust of air did not last long, but its aftereffect was strong enough that the blue fish, including the little blue goldfish that Chang Yufeng had just obtained, swam desperately upstream in the gust of air to avoid being blown away.

Could it be that the chief steward really asked them to clean up, and not for some other reason? Chang Yufeng used his sleeves to shake off the dust and glanced at the center of the air wave. Erica's whole body was emitting golden light, and even her tied hair was all scattered up to the sky. If he wasn't careful, Chang Yufeng would have thought that his silly sister had become an immortal.

The golden light trembled in Chang Yufeng's eyes, and disappeared after a while. Erica was left with her hair flying up to the sky. Lin'er heard the noise and came down from the second floor. The half-demon boy only took a glance to see that everyone was still there, and continued to sleep.

"What's wrong? Brother Yufeng? What happened?" Lin'er jumped down from the upstairs, her hands opening and closing like a pair of wings. She jumped directly from the vertical stairs and flew to Chang Yufeng's side.

"No, it's okay." Chang Yufeng patted the dust off his body, coughed and said to Lin'er: "Erica, it seems, has learned a more powerful move."

"Great! I did it! Bro! I did it!"

Erica rushed over, shouting with joy. She was covered in dust and felt an unprecedented power flowing through her meridians, but her expression was a little silly. She ran happily and wanted to hug Chang Yufeng to express her joy, but Chang Yufeng grabbed her head and stopped her from coming over. After all, her flying hair was too suffocating. "This book contains records of the Qilin Jar. Brother Yufeng, take a look. There are some things I don't understand." Lin'er turned the book over and handed it to Chang Yufeng. Lang Yi Shuweng also leaned over: "But is it "The Records of Strange Things in Lingshan"? "

After Chang Yufeng borrowed the book, Erica rushed into Chang Yufeng's arms and rubbed her face against his clothes. Lin'er nodded and looked at Lang Yishuweng.

"The records in this book are so old that you don't need to read them." Lang Yi Shu Weng touched the head of a fish on his right hand side and said, "If you want to know, I'll tell you."

"Thank you, Grandpa Shuweng."

"Hey, don't be too happy too soon. Everyone in the Heaven Department has heard me talk about the Qilin Jar. If you don't work hard, there's nothing I can do."

"Erica, go wake him up and ask him to come and listen." Chang Yufeng quietly pointed at the half-demon boy who had fallen asleep again. Who knew that the half-demon boy suddenly got up. Chang Yufeng felt that this half-demon boy was really ridiculous.

Lang Yi Shu Weng waved his hand, and all the fish swam quickly towards the four people. They were dragged up by the fish and slowly rose up. The fish on Chang Yufeng's shoulders cheered and jumped for joy. They followed Lang Yi Shu Weng and meandered up the spiral staircase of the library. The fish that held up the half-demon boy was obviously reluctant and followed behind Erica's school of fish, trembling.

"Wow~" The three of them watched in surprise as the entire library gradually turned blue, and finally turned into a blue ocean. The blue light radiated through the stairs and appeared on everyone's face.

"The Qilin Jar was originally called the Five Elements Bagua Bottle. It is a treasure bottle filled with the five elements of gold, wood, water, fire and earth. There are inexhaustible five elements in it. No one knows how they appeared, nor where they are." The fish that went ahead of Lang Yishuweng had already climbed to the third-layer bookshelf, and the other fish followed with four people. In the blue ocean, the original Shufang treasure bottle shape of the Qilin Jar appeared, rotating like a three-dimensional scroll in a book.

"Why did it appear in Bailing Mountain?" Chang Yufeng looked at the clean treasure bottle, and the blue light flashed in his eyes. Erica wanted to reach out and touch the treasure bottle, but it was just an illusion created by Lang Yishu Weng. She could only pass through the bottle.

"Because of a murder"

"Murder?" It was the first time that Chang Yufeng heard such a terrible word. Erica and Lin'er both swallowed their saliva.

"Yes, murder. The specific details are unknown. You are still too young, so I cannot tell you the details. But I can only tell you that fortunately the murder failed. The two treasure bottles were brought to light because of the murder and were entrusted to someone to be stored in Bailing Mountain. At that time, Bailing Mountain did not have a library. It was just a very small place, and the Ning family was just a very small family."

"Then what?" Chang Yufeng looked at the Bailing Mountain in front of him. There was no cloud barrier on it, only green mountains and clear waters and a small village.

"Later, the then patriarch kept the treasure bottle in order to prevent it from being lost again, until that patriarch appeared. The legendary patriarch took out the core of the treasure bottle and placed it inside the two Qilin mechanisms."

A person without a complete face held up a glowing orb with all the five elements on it. It looked very ferocious. It was obvious that the person was very powerful. He was not afraid at all when grabbing the core of the Aquarius and was even a little excited.

"Why did he do this?" Chang Yufeng asked in confusion.

"Because he wanted to create a peerless mountain gate, which is now the Bailing Mountain. He collected treasures from all over the world and brought them to Bailing Mountain. Even this library was once a pagoda illuminated by the Buddha's light."

"This! It's incredible!" Chang Yufeng looked at the library reflected by Lang Yishuweng, with a Buddhist bead on it, emitting dazzling light.

Everyone else was attracted by the glittering Buddhist beads on the top of the tower.

This is probably the origin of the spiritual energy in Bailing Mountain now. This legendary ancestor of mine is so far-sighted! His strength is also extraordinary! He can conquer the entire spiritual world!

"Then how do we deal with Aquarius now?" Lin'er asked, with the Buddhist beads still flashing in her eyes.

"The core of the Aquarius is the key to dealing with it. The focus of the Celestial Department's training is not on strength, but on the control of spiritual power. This is just your first training!" Lang Yishu Weng waved his hand and placed the entire Qilin Jar in the blue ocean: "All the elements of the Qilin Jar are driven by the core of the Aquarius. It is impossible for you to destroy the core of the Aquarius, so you only need to fill the Aquarius with water to pass the test."

"But now we can't even get close to it. We don't even know where its core is! And there is no water at all!" Erica was dejected. Even though she had secretly learned a spell that might be very powerful, she still felt it was daunting.

"So it is especially important to control spiritual power at this time! The Qilin Jar releases elements in a certain pattern. You need to seduce him to release the water element skill, and then use spiritual power to infuse the water element into his body."

"I get myself drunk?" the half-demon boy suddenly spoke, and everyone looked at him.

"If it was always fixed, it would be very simple, and would only require the control of spiritual power, but the key point is that the Qilin Cylinder can move!"

"We've already seen this!" Chang Yufeng looked at Lin'er. The white cloth on her forehead still made him feel a little guilty.

"That's because of a super chip from an ancient race, the Bronze Jade Tribe! It can activate the magic patterns inside the Qilin Jar, making the Qilin Jar look like a real Qilin."

"[Bronze Jade Clan]?"

"One of the lost races. Their leader was bewitched and sided with the demons during the Demon Sealing War, so they are almost extinct now."

The Demon Sealing War was something that everyone in the spiritual world knew about. It was a protracted war that almost led to the extinction of all races.

"Then, how can we complete the training of the Qilin Tank?" Lin'er touched the little goldfish that had been rubbing against her face. It swam from Chang Yufeng's side to her side.

"Of course it is to improve your control over spiritual power in a short period of time!"

"So how do we do that?"

"sweep the floor!"

"Ouch!" Everyone almost fell off the swimming fish.

"Are we still sweeping the floor in the end?" Chang Yufeng was a little confused as he looked at the huge library.

"Sweep the floor?" Lin'er placed the little goldfish neatly in her hand.

"Oh my God, I want to run away!!! I don't want to sweep the floor!!" Erica's stomach was growling with hunger, and she was even hungrier now.

The half-demon boy rolled his eyes and jumped down, holding his fish and running behind Lang Yishuweng.

"Of course it's not just an ordinary sweep!" When Lang Yishuweng's voice came out, Chang Yufeng knew that today would be the most terrible day!
