The myth begins with the Lotus Lantern

Chapter 219 Visiting
The stone monkey stretched out his free left hand and placed it on the seventh fairy's shoulder, gently pulling her up. Without him even noticing, the seventh fairy involuntarily stood up.

"laugh!"

The stone monkey was satisfied and released his grip. As soon as the magic power that had been maintaining the connection was removed, the Seventh Fairy's body immediately leaned backward. The time was too short, and her primordial spirit had not yet fully adapted to the new body she had taken over. This happened so suddenly that she had no time to react. She only felt a soft lightness under her feet, and the rest was all involuntary.

"Alas!"

The stone monkey exclaimed in surprise and quickly stepped forward, grabbing the seventh fairy by the waist and pulling her back.

Suddenly, the man and the monkey were very close. The fragrance emanating from the fairy filled the stone monkey's nostrils, and he shivered. He didn't have any romantic thoughts, but he just found the smell strange and was not used to it.

What bad intentions could a monkey possibly have?

"Let me go!" the Seventh Fairy shouted angrily.

"Sorry, sorry!"

The stone monkey chuckled, changed his posture, and helped the seven fairies up. Suddenly, as if he had thought of something, a flash of light appeared in his palm, and a prayer mat fell to the ground. He kicked the prayer mat under the seven fairies, then helped her sit down. He then stuffed the jade bottle containing the golden elixir into the seven fairies' hands, and hurriedly took two steps back.

The seven fairies breathed a sigh of relief and calmed down a little.

"Really..." the Seven Fairies cursed.

"I forgot you just..." The stone monkey smiled broadly, but his embarrassment was evident. "I've already given you the apology, don't be angry, don't be angry..."

It seems that, in addition to worldview, what is more urgent is to make him understand what a sense of distance is.

The seven fairies looked at the stone monkey and saw that he looked like this. They couldn't muster any inspiration and could only shake their heads in secret. Then they remembered the result of correcting the stone monkey's interpersonal skills earlier and quickly gave up the idea.

Alright, the monkey has too many ideas, let's leave it at that for now.

"What I just said about getting along with people, your understanding is not wrong, but it is only superficial. Judging from your appearance, if I go deeper, who knows what you will come up with. Remember this: you can't see into someone's heart!" The Seventh Fairy thought for a moment and said to the Stone Monkey.

"You can't judge a book by its cover, remember that, I'll remember that!" The stone monkey nodded, but with a nonchalant and indifferent attitude. "As for appearances, as long as you look similar to others and don't get laughed at, that's enough. I'll learn the rest myself..."

The Seven Fairies said no more.

……

Pantaoyuan.

Inside the small pavilion, Ding Lin sat cross-legged, his eyes slightly closed, pondering and comprehending the "Celestial Immortal Technique." As expected of a top-tier technique passed down from the Dao Ancestor, before reading it, Ding Lin thought he might understand two or three tenths. After reading it, he realized that he could only comprehend one or two hundredths. The immortal text was multifaceted, and he could only make half-understandings of the long passages, or he couldn't understand them at all. The various allusions and references in the technique were completely unheard of. Comparing the "Black Water Scripture" to the "Celestial Immortal Technique" was like comparing a children's book to advanced mathematics in university.

Ding Linyang Chan had studied immortal script. He recognized every character, but did not understand their meaning or make them coherent. Just reading them was extremely difficult. The obscurity and difficulty made it hard to continue. Every step forward was difficult. He endured the discomfort and persevered until he finished reading the whole thing.

Open your eyes.

Ding Lin immediately looked toward the Seven Fairy Maidens' Jade Chamber, recalling their earlier words. Although he instinctively felt that the Seven Fairy Maidens seemed to have become somewhat strange, this was clearly not the time to worry about such things. With such a treasure in hand, it was best to first unearth the precious jade.

I don't know if it was just my imagination, but in that instant when I turned my head, I seemed to see a wisp of purple clothing peeking out from the window of the jade house, before quickly disappearing back into the distance.

Ding Lin's eyes flickered, and he got up and walked towards the jade house.

Inside the jade house, the Fifth Fairy looked at the pavilion, walked to the door, and then slowly strolled back behind the table. Looking in the mirror, she adjusted her expression, hiding the concern on her face, and gradually furrowed her brows and eyes, dressing up as the Seventh Fairy.

"Granddaughter," Ding Lin said, naturally using a polite form of address since he needed something from her.

"It's Brother Jin, please wait a moment," said the Fifth Fairy, her voice as cold and aloof as the Seventh Fairy's.

She got up and opened the door.

“I was deeply indebted to your great kindness before, which saved my life. I should have thanked you then, but I was so disoriented after surviving that I forgot. It wasn’t until I woke up from meditation and calmed down that I remembered. It is my fault that I have to wait until now to come to your door,” Ding Lin said.

“Brother Jin, you flatter me. You and my sister have been kind to each other. Since I saw it, I naturally wouldn’t stand idly by,” said the Fifth Fairy.

"I come from the lower realm and have no treasures with me, except for this inner core, which was taken from a tiger demon at the third stage of the Nascent Soul realm. It can be of some benefit to ascending to immortality. I hope my granddaughter will not find it offensive and will accept it as a token of my gratitude." Ding Lin pondered for a moment, and with a flash of spiritual light in his hand, he took out the gift.

The Fifth Fairy looked at the inner core, its surface already petrified. Of course, she knew where this inner core came from. Her feelings were complicated. Her gaze lingered on the inner core for a moment, then she reached out and took it, ushered Ding Lin into the room, and casually placed the inner core on the table.

"Brother Jin, what brings you here?" asked the Fifth Fairy. She had known Ding Lin for a long time and was well aware of his character, so she would not be fooled by his appearance.

"My granddaughter entrusted me with the 'Celestial Immortal Manual' that day. Out of kindness, she feared that I had been in the mortal realm for too long and that my knowledge was insufficient, leaving my mind empty. She promised that if I had any questions, I could come to her for guidance. I was short-sighted and thought that my granddaughter was exaggerating, so I didn't take it seriously. But after studying the manual for the past few days, I found it to be as clear as a heavenly book. My visit is firstly to thank my granddaughter, and secondly, I also have these selfish motives..." Ding Lin smiled bitterly at just the right moment.

"We sisters have been practicing the 'Celestial Immortal Manual' since childhood. Although our understanding is limited by our level of knowledge, we can't fully comprehend it, and we only have a superficial understanding of some of the stories contained within. However, we have memorized all the related manuals bestowed upon us by our maternal grandmother over the years. Brother Jin, your level of knowledge has now reached that point. After I explain it to you, you should be able to understand it on your own," said the Fifth Fairy.

"In that case, I'll trouble you, my granddaughter," Ding Lin said. His eyes flickered again. Although there was nothing wrong with his tone and demeanor, the sense of familiarity he felt with the 'Seventh Fairy' in front of him grew stronger.

Moreover, if Ding Lin remembered correctly, what the Seven Fairies said last time was just borrowing books, not memorizing them, which is a deeper level of communication.
