I use myths to create immortality

Chapter 40: There are also thieves in Taoism, the Dust-Repelling Pearl
Ji Yuan was just about to walk down from the cabin; the sound of footsteps coming up the stairs was heard, and the woman in red actually went up to the second floor first.

The woman in red was about seventeen or eighteen years old, with willow-shaped eyebrows and almond-shaped eyes. Her eyes kept moving, flashing a cunning and smart look. She was petite, but her chest was bulging, revealing two white and plump breasts.

Seeing Ji Yuan sitting alone by the window, the woman did not look down on him because of his young age. Instead, she restrained her expression and clasped her fists in greeting: "Xuanjunjiao Liu Yunbin, hello, Brother Dao!"

Ji Yuan nodded slightly: "Fellow Daoist Liu, you are too polite. I am Ji Yuan."

Ji Yuan saw that this disciple of Xuanjun Sect was being hunted for some unknown reason, and saw that he possessed magical powers, so they wanted to use him to protect themselves.

But Ji Yuan didn't want to cause trouble at all, and didn't like to meddle in other people's affairs.

He stood up and went downstairs.

Liu Yunbin, however, blocked the stairs and stood in front of Ji Yuan.

The bulging chest was close at hand, and under the two huge white lips, there was a faint fragrance that floated for several feet and lingered around the tip of the nose. Ji Yuan frowned: "Spiritual medicine?"

It's not the scent of body or milk, but the scent of elixir.

Ji Yuan was very familiar with it because he had eaten it before.

"Brother, there are so many people here, I can't say much, please stay."

“Hehe, fellow Daoist, you have elixir on you, but you are waving it in front of me. Aren’t you afraid that I will attack you directly and take it away from you?” Ji Yuan threatened in a cold voice.

"I saw the ethereal Taoist aura of Xuanwei in the ship, and I knew that you must be a disciple of Xuanwei. If you want my elixir, I will give it to you. Not only that, I can also give you more." Liu Yunbin's eyes turned, and not only was he not afraid, but he puffed out his chest and said.

The monks can sense the magical energy of each other; there are obvious differences between the magical powers of the six religions and they are very easy to identify.

"Oh? Are those people outside chasing you because of this spiritual medicine?"

"Yes, it's not this one, but a lot of spiritual herbs. There are two large carts of spiritual herbs transported from Prince Jing's Mansion to Bodu. Taoist priest, please help me fight off the pursuers, and I will tell you where those spiritual herbs are. How about that?" Liu Yunbin looked at Ji Yuan in front of her.

Her woman's intuition told her that the young Taoist priest from Xuanwei Sect, who was not even as tall as her chest, was very extraordinary.

"Not very good; since it is a spiritual medicine transported to Bodu, how can there be no cultivators guarding the road?" Ji Yuan shook his head.

Bo City was the capital of the Chen Dynasty.

Compared to the six religions that have dominated the world for eternity, Zhongzhou does have some dynastic forces.

The ancestors of these dynasties' royal families were also practitioners of major religions, so they were able to control human resources. There were even many practitioners who were willing to serve the court and enjoy the wealth and glory of the world.

Among them, there are powerful ones like Yin Kaishan, the ancestor of the Chen State and the minister of ten dynasties.

The Prince Jing's Mansion is also the royal family of the Chen Dynasty; it is the largest aristocratic force in Jingzhou except for the Yuntai Taoist Temple.

Many talented and extraordinary people, and even monks from the six religions, who came down from the mountains to enjoy the wealth and glory of the world, would serve this kind of royal family.

Although, they are all clay chickens and dogs.

But without sufficient benefits, Ji Yuan doesn't want to provoke rashly.

"Then Taoist priest, send me to Liyangze, and I will give you this thousand-year-old green ginseng, okay?"

"No, I don't have time."

Liyang Lake is the territory of Qingzhou Xuanjun Sect. To get from the center of the domain to the ancestral home of Xuanjun Sect in "Lihen Domain", one must also pass through the tens of thousands of miles of Liyang Lake.

It will take about eight or nine months for Xuanwei Sect to select the true disciples; Ji Yuan doesn't have the time to go to Xuanjun Sect.

It would be more cost-effective to just snatch the elixir from Liu Yunbin and then run away to the Xuanwei Sect's ancestral temple.

"That's a thousand-year-old elixir that can increase magical power, and you...you don't even want it?" Liu Yunbin widened her eyes.

This world is like a wilderness, with many places sparsely populated. Millennium-old elixirs are not rare, but they are not available everywhere.

This is probably because the places where spiritual medicines grow are all in the wilderness, with many monsters and beasts, making it difficult for human cultivators to go there easily.

A thousand-year-old elixir can at least increase the magic power of a cultivator at the One Qi realm by several years.

What Ji Yuan lacks most now is magic power, and he is indeed tempted.

"I'll give you the thousand-year-old elixir if you ask me to. You have something even better on you. Prince Jing's Mansion is chasing you, not just for this elixir..." Ji Yuan's eyes flashed with a sharp gaze, staring at Liu Yunbin with a fierce look.

Liu Yunbin was about to speak when the boat suddenly shook violently and there was a loud shouting and screaming outside.

"Zheng!" The bowstring on the shore sounded like thunder, and arrows fell like rain.

"Duoduo!" The arrow flew past Ji Yuan's side and hit the boat board heavily, penetrating several feet into the wood, and its tail feathers trembled.

However, when the boat reached the narrow and turbulent waters, only a dozen feet away from the two banks, the black knights riding on war horses took out their bows and arrows and shot at the boat.

"How dare you! This is the official ship of the Chen Mansion. How dare you attack and kill the official ship!" The captain of the ship was stern and shouted loudly while hiding behind the side of the ship.

Those who operate the ship all have powerful backers, which is why the captain dared to let Liu Yunbin get on board without fear of those men in black.

"You are blind, bring the boat to the shore quickly! Otherwise you will be killed without mercy!" The cavalry on the shore galloped like thunder, and the knights drew their bows and drew their arrows on their horses.

"Hurry! Row the boat faster!" The captain was terrified, but he gritted his teeth, lifted the wooden board to withstand the rain of arrows, and called on the boatman to row the boat faster.

The gold ingots have been collected. If we go ashore now, we will be dead.

“They are just mere cavalry warriors. Fellow Daoist Liu is after all a disciple of a great sect. Could it be that he can’t even deal with these mortals?” Ji Yuan wanted to laugh.

Those cavalrymen were well-trained. Each of them could draw a two-stone hard bow on horseback and hit an arrow through the target from a hundred paces away. They also had military skills, so it was not a big problem for them to fight against rural strange people and sorcerers.

But there were only dozens of riders. Liu Yunbin was a disciple of Xuanjun Sect and had decades of magical powers, but he was unable to defeat dozens of mortal cavalry.

Even if you don't know magic spells, if you have practiced magic power for a hundred years, you can also figure out some small tricks to control objects with magic power. With magic power and thoughts, you can control the sword or knife to kill people miles away without any problem.

Like Zhao Chengyin controlling the double golden whips, Lingfeng Taoist controlling the flying sword, or using magic power to bind people from a distance, these are all small techniques. Any cultivator with a hundred years of magic power can use these little tricks.

Although it is not very powerful, it is enough to scare mortals and ordinary heretics and sorcerers.

"I'm not good at fighting; I only know how to hide and escape in order to save my life." Liu Yunbin was not embarrassed at all, but rather a little proud.

In other words, he knows the art of invisibility, but he doesn't know any martial arts or weapons.

However, magic spells are extremely rare. Among the thousands of monks in Yuntai Taoist Temple, only a few can really cast magic spells. This is indeed something she should be proud of.

"Oh? If you stole someone's treasure, why didn't you hide and run away?" Ji Yuan guessed what happened as soon as he heard it; it should be that Liu Yunbin used the invisibility skill to steal some important treasure from Prince Jing's Mansion.

"People make mistakes and horses stumble. There are many skilled cultivators in Prince Jing's mansion. My spell has been broken. It will take at least 49 days to recover."

"Brother Taoist, if you have the means, please act quickly." Liu Yunbin said.

"Bring the elixir first." Ji Yuan held out his hand. Liu Yunbin turned around, fumbled in her clothes, and took out a palm-sized wooden box. She opened it slightly, and the scent of the elixir permeated the entire cabin.

"You have to show me your skills first, then I can give it to you."

Ji Yuan nodded upon hearing this and looked at the black knights who were chasing and shooting arrows dozens of feet away.

With a flick of his sleeves, an invisible wind swept across the sky, and in an instant, a hurricane blew up on the shore dozens of feet away.

The soil and dust were raised, and the sand and stones flew everywhere.

"Oh no, where does this strange wind come from?"

The black knights were immediately blinded by the dust and fell to the ground in chaos.

The boatmen were delighted: "Haha, good wind, good wind, let's go faster."

……

"You...Senior Brother, are you the true disciple of Xuanwei Peak?" Liu Yunbin looked at Ji Yuan who was standing by the window, a trace of fear flashed in her eyes.

"Bring the elixir here." Ji Yuan did not answer.

Liu Yunbin handed over the wooden box.

Ji Yuan opened the box which was still warm. Inside the box was a palm-sized ginseng-like magical medicine with jade-green roots and a fragrant aroma.

I think it is the so-called thousand-year-old green ginseng.

"Not bad, not bad. It seems that I can increase my magic power for a few more years." Ji Yuan was very satisfied.

According to the "Lingxuan Guizhi", Bishen is a special kind of ginseng that grows in spiritual sand. It cannot be considered a rare and superior spiritual medicine, but it is rare to have a thousand years of history.

"Okay, the pursuers have been forced to retreat, and you can get off the boat quickly." Ji Yuan did not kill the cavalry from Prince Jing's mansion.

If my guess is correct, Liu Yunbin has a treasure on her body, which is more valuable than the thousand-year-old green ginseng.

Otherwise, he would not have given this thousand-year-old green ginseng to Ji Yuan.

But dozens of miles away, there were several cultivators' auras rushing towards this side at a rapid speed, and Ji Yuan didn't want to intervene anymore.

"Brother, it's too late for me to get off the boat now. When you made your move just now, your magic power fluctuated. The monks from Prince Jing's mansion who were searching for me have seen it and are coming this way now."

Liu Yunbin smiled bitterly: "If you drive them all away, then you will be helping me to repel the enemy."

As he was speaking, from the distant sky, several streams of light flew over, carrying the monks' magical power and energy, covering the sky and earth, spreading over dozens of miles.

The captain and the crew all looked terrified: "Master!"

He was so scared that he crawled on the boat, not daring to move at all.

"Witch, don't run!" The black-robed monk in the sky shouted, took out the two hooks on his body, and controlled them with magic power and thoughts, and fell like a meteor.

Two double hooks flashed cold light, brought up a loud gust of wind, and fell like lightning.

He was determined to overturn the entire ship with one blow.

"Repel the enemy, right? That's easy."

Ji Yuan mobilized his magical powers and used his supernatural power [Call the Wind and Summon the Rain].

He opened his mouth slightly, spat out a mouthful of saliva, and it fell into the water.

In an instant, water vapor gathered on the surface of the river, layer upon layer, like smoke waves.

Liu Yunbin widened her eyes.

"Boom!" A wisp of wind in the sky rolled up the clouds and blew over the two flying hooks thrown by the monk.

"Not good!" A hurricane swept across the sky. Several monks from Prince Jing's Mansion could not stand on the clouds and rolled down.

The next moment, the wind swept away the clouds and fog, and heavy rain poured down like pillars.

"Is it going to rain?" The boatmen looked up in surprise.

Dense raindrops fell into the river, and thick fog covered the entire water surface and enveloped the boat.

"This..." After those monks finally managed to steady themselves and avoid being blown into the river by the wind, they looked up and could not help but be shocked.

Looking around, thick fog covered the river, and vaguely, the several-meter-long building ship had disappeared.

A gust of wind blew, adding fuel to the fire. The cabin flew rapidly across the river, and in a flash it was hundreds of feet away, leaving those monks from Prince Jing's Mansion far behind.

After dozens of breaths, the clouds cleared, the rain stopped, and the fog on the river surface also dissipated.

But where is the trace of that building ship?
"There must be a powerful monk casting a spell on that ship. Fortunately, he has no intention of taking our lives. We are no match for him. Let's go back and report to Prince Jing." Several monks in Prince Jing's mansion looked at each other, all of them showing fear.

……

The ship in the river was wrapped in wind and fog and was moving away quickly.

The cabin was also filled with fog.

After an hour or so, the boat sailed more than a thousand miles downstream.

The wind and fog in the cabin slowly dissipated.

"Senior Brother Ji!" Liu Yunbin looked around the cabin.

Ji Yuan's figure also disappeared along with the wind and fog.

Liu Yunbin touched her waist and found the grayish egg-sized pearl. She confirmed that it was still on her body and then she breathed a sigh of relief.

"I am so lucky. Not only did I meet such a powerful person, but he is also so trustworthy. This Senior Brother Ji is really a kind person."

That bright pearl is called the Dust-Repelling Pearl. It is a rare treasure and the real reason why Prince Jing's Mansion is hunting her down.

The words have not yet fallen.

"Whoosh!" A sudden gust of wind blew into the cabin.

Liu Yunbin’s eyes went dark and she was blown to the ground by the wind.

"Ah! Give me back my Dust-Repelling Pearl!" Liu Yunbin stood up again, but the Dust-Repelling Pearl was no longer in her hand.
