Wet viviparity

Chapter 651 Reception, Qionghua Island
After recording this innate purple energy in the book, Ji Ming felt deeply moved.

He was sighing like this not because of anything else, but because he thought that if he reached the late stage of the Golden Elixir and began to practice the lessons of "refining the sun and the moon, and stabilizing the five elements", and wanted to continue to make progress, then in addition to rare things like the Star Flowing Juice, he would have to breathe in and out the innate purple energy.

Unfortunately, the Star Stream Liquid can be obtained through the relationship with the Nandou Yanshou Palace, but there is no way to obtain the Innate Purple Qi.

Even if Leng Cuishan was willing to help him collect and refine it, and Banjie Xian'e was willing to contribute to it for him, it would still take seven or eight years to refine such a congenital purple energy, and it would be a waste to use such a small amount for cultivation.

Ji Ming was thinking a little too far ahead, so he should just focus on the present matter.

He instructed the boys to arrange a secluded and elegant hermitage for Chunhongzi and his three disciples.

"Senior brother."

Chun Hongzi called Ji Ming and took out another gift, saying, "This is what Zao Ling'er asked me to bring. He asked me to bring a message saying that he had asked for leave from Teacher Qingyang for several months and was having a small gathering with his colleagues in the palace. He would come to meet again on the day of the banquet in the Immortal Court.

This gift is a bit too small, and I am embarrassed to present it at the banquet, so I was asked to deliver it to my senior brother."

"I should have thought of that."

Ji Ming slapped his forehead, looking enlightened, and said, "Zao Ling'er's practice of the Three Flowers of Essence, Qi and Spirit is the Fire Orthodox Method, which comes from the Fire Virtue Tonghua Palace. He must be a member of the immortal officials of this palace."

“That’s right.” Chun Hongzi replied with a smile: “Inside the mountain gate, Zao Ling’er has a very good talent in fire magic, and she is also from the True Immortal Temple, so she was sent to the Tiandihuo position in Tianteng Mountain in the Southern Wasteland to practice since she was a child.

As he has made great achievements in the art of fire magic, the sect sent a talisman to the Tonghua Palace, granting him the title of "Superior Officer in Chasing Demons and Forbidding Fire". He is now in the immortal class and has a good chance of attaining enlightenment!"

Ji Ming could hear envy in Chun Hongzi's tone, but this kind of thing where the sect came forward, sent a talisman to the Heavenly Palace, and directly granted an official position was indeed worthy of envy.

Since Chun Hongzi, several guests have come to Zirong Peak of Jiheng Mountain and several surrounding peaks one after another. Ji Ming's soul has been alert to the outside of the cave, and any stray people who come to take advantage of the situation will be blown away hundreds of miles away.

Of course, there are some fish that slip through the net.

After all, Ji Ming lives in seclusion and rarely goes out, so he doesn't know many of the people here. He can only blow away those who have evil spirits on their faces. However, many of the wanderers here practice Taoism in seclusion and are full of Taoist spirit.

These people were not among the master's relatives and friends. They could be said to be Taoists who came uninvited. They only brought some spiritual fruits and medicinal fungi. Some of them actually came from Fanlang Mountain in the south, where the heretic sects lived together. They looked like immortals.

Ji Ming smiled and received them warmly. He then asked Leng Cuishan to lead these wandering people to a side courtyard in the cave, gave them some cold mountain spring tea, and then packed up their food and sent them away.

It was simply wishful thinking to want to take advantage of him. If it weren't for the reputation of Huoxu Cave and the master, they wouldn't even get the cold tea.

The reception work is not cumbersome, and this is not a secular family, so there are not so many rules. However, some details still need to be paid attention to, such as who has a grudge against whom, and who is closer to whom. These need to be taken into account when arranging the monastery.

Fortunately, Susu helped and nothing went wrong.

During this period, Ji Ming arranged several discussions on Taoism and Buddhism, showing off his knowledge of both schools and letting all the Taoists in Jiheng Mountain recognize him as the Golden Boy of Huoxu Cave and the master's beloved disciple.

Although Ji Ming had a reputation in Jiheng Mountain before, seeing is believing.

After these discussions on Taoism, some Taoists speculated whether the master had put all his efforts on Lingxuzi. Otherwise, among several disciples in his sect, how could only Jintong stand out and become the pillar of the sect.

But this speculation is untenable. Everyone knows that the Golden Boy has only been in the mountain for a dozen years, and this time is only enough to lay a foundation.

In such a harmonious atmosphere, the day of the Nantianmen step lowering soon arrived. On this day, all the Taoists needed to do was to look up and see the clouds moving and a green-ridge-like suspended step slowly sloping down from the vastness.

This is the stairway to heaven in front of the Heavenly Gate. It is said that the ancient immortals ascended to heaven by climbing up this stairway.

The rosy glow permeated the clouds, and dots of cinnabar gradually appeared on the steps, bright red and dazzling. Looking from a distance, it seemed as if the ancient ancestors had lit fire and held a night sacrifice on these steps, and the ancient atmosphere went straight to the heart.

South China Sea, Qionghua Island.

There are several jade towers, ten golden courtyards, a hundred jade platforms, and countless splendid houses on this island. There are also green bridges paved with layers of green, and dotted with exotic flowers and plants, lush forests and bamboos. Every step you take brings a new scene, which is extremely gorgeous.

On this day, all the disciples who were living in different places came to the island and, as instructed, presented the treasures they had collected in a precious chariot.

In the golden curtain of the chariot, there was a beautiful woman sitting in the middle, propping up her hands and pretending to sleep. Outside the chariot were four strange beasts, a bird, a horse, a pig, and a fish. Under the chariot were spiritual ropes tied to the four beasts. In front of the chariot, there were two women and one man acting as messengers.

All three were strong men who were practicing on the Qionghua Island. They were also direct disciples of Pei Yufei, the immortal in the chariot. They were the proud disciples that they always boasted about in front of their friends in the South China Sea.

The chariot had been stationary for a long time. Except for the female Taoist priest in front, the other two had already started talking to each other in private.

"Master, why don't you leave?"

Another female Taoist with a charming and beautiful face frowned and asked the male Taoist next to her,

"Junior sister, look."

The Taoist man pointed to the boxes towed behind the chariot. The boxes were open and the disciples on the island were throwing some rare items into them. "Master is waiting for the boxes to be full before setting off for Nanyue Jiheng Mountain."

"Didn't we say that we would let the people from Huoxu Cave choose one of the four beasts that carried the sedan chair as a gift? Why did you put together these boxes of miscellaneous items?"

The female Taoist spoke in a low voice, occasionally glancing at the gloomy senior sister in front of her, with a hint of fear in her eyes.

"Our master wants to dampen the arrogance of the Huoxu Cave, but sending the four beasts carrying the sedan chair is not enough to satisfy him. So he should bring some "treasures" from the South China Sea so that those local cultivators on land can learn something new."

The male Taoist said with a gloating look.

"Is it really okay for us to ruin the mood like this?
Besides, the master there is quite accomplished, and if we create a grudge against him, it will be of no benefit to us in the future."

"Don't worry, sister.

Just because the masters in that place are highly skilled doesn’t mean they are also good at training disciples.

Although the master had lived in the South China Sea for a long time and had never been to land, he still asked people to inquire about the news.

There are only two outstanding people under the master's tutelage. One is called Yu Luo, also known as the abbot of Yu Luo Temple. She is currently practicing in Furong City. Although she is favored by the female fairies in the city, this woman is difficult to restrain and has a higher spirit than men. She always does shocking things.

This woman is a rare and extraordinary woman, but she is not close to the local master and is almost like an enemy. It is not certain whether she will come to the banquet to congratulate him! "

"Where's the other one?"

"The other one"

The Taoist man dragged out the question for a long time on purpose, as if to keep the audience in suspense.

"Say it."

The eldest sister in front turned her head to the side, revealing her forehead which was as round as a dome. Her voice sounded like a night owl, which was very scary.

"Yes, senior sister."

The Taoist male's face froze, and he said, "The other one is a well-known righteous person in Tiannan. There are many mysterious things about him. Some people say that he is like a demon, domineering and self-centered, while others say that he is unconventional, humble and benevolent."

In the second Tiannan war more than a decade ago, this man had performed brilliantly, and in recent years there have been reports that he had refined a Cang-grade golden elixir. If he were not dead, he would definitely be another Tiannan legend."

"Lingxuzi!"

The senior sister murmured.

"Big sister, you've heard of him."

"Since the battle at that little blessed land, everyone in the South Sea knows this man. Only you two fools are sitting on this island and not even hearing the full news from the master."
