Conferred Gods: Start with a Phoenix clone

Chapter 1822 Longji's Great Discovery
While Yu Xiao and the Primordial Peach Tree were fighting, Long Ji cunningly hid in the shadows to observe.

After following Phoenix for so many years, even the most innocent child will go astray.

Yu Xiao thought that if Long Ji intercepted the enemy once, she could find a place to ambush him and win. Her idea was good, but she underestimated the cunning of a mature prehistoric immortal.

Compared to Yunxiao, Longji is a complete newbie, while Yuxiao is a blank slate compared to Longji.

Just because I can't steal the prize once doesn't mean I can't steal it a second time.

Longji arrogantly took the broken branch, then followed suit, circled around, and used an extremely skillful invisibility spell to fly back, and followed her all the way.

The appearance of the innate peach tree was something she had expected, but the strength that this senior had revealed during his battle with Yu Xiao was somewhat beyond her judgment.

How could the innate peach tree without a physical body still be so powerful? Yu Xiao's control over the power of life and death also made her extremely wary.

I'm afraid it will be difficult to successfully take down the Innate Peach Tree under Yu Xiao's nose. What should I do? Call for reinforcements?

Longji decided to try diplomacy first, so she sent a divine sense into the battlefield, and soon a communication channel was established.

"Longji greets senior."

"Oh, it's Xiaolongji? It's been a long time. You seem to have something on your mind." The innate peach tree spoke gently, like an elder, without revealing any trace of the urgency of his life-or-death battle with Yuxiao.

Longji didn't reveal his own thoughts, nor did he want to discuss them with this senior: "Senior, my mother has always respected you. Before she returned to Zixiao Palace, she kept telling me to escort you home."

The innate peach tree sneered, "Use the Purple Cloud Palace to suppress me? That's your peach orchard, my prison, no. My home should be in the Three Mountains and Five Peaks, in the Four Seas and Nine Provinces. I will not go back with you. As for the Jade Pool..."

She paused for a moment, then said fairly, "In the primordial world, the one with the best innate spiritual root is Zhen Yuanzi, and the other is the former Queen Mother of Yaochi."

Just look at how Yuanshi Tianzun treated Huangzhong Li and you'll know that in front of Yuqing Shengren, what innate spiritual root is nothing more than a tool for bearing fruit and entertaining guests.

Zhen Yuanzi and the Ginseng Fruit Tree are like brothers; whatever Zhen Yuanzi eats, the Ginseng Fruit Tree eats too. Yaochi and the Peach Tree are practically like sisters.

"Little Longji, when you see Yaochi, remember to apologize for me!" The innate peach tree suddenly stretched out its hand towards the outside, and boundless water-elemental spiritual energy rushed towards Longji, completely exposing her.

"You scoundrel, you're hiding here?! Take this!" Yu Xiao swung his sword as a reflex, and taking advantage of the moment when Long Ji raised his sword to parry, the innate peach tree used an extremely skillful water escape technique to quickly escape.

Yu Xiao and Long Ji fought a few rounds, and when they looked back, the cooked duck had escaped again.

"Oh dear, I'm so angry!" She stomped her feet in anger. Yunxiao had left her a talisman that was extremely effective against the primordial spirit. No matter how strong the innate peach tree was, without a physical body, its primordial spirit alone could not withstand this talisman.

Unfortunately, Yu Xiao had sensed that someone was around and was worried that someone hiding in the shadows would take advantage of her, so she didn't use this trump card and wasted a great opportunity.

"It's you again! I'll never let you get away with this!" She swung her knife at Longji.

Longji was indeed good-tempered; he raised the Yaochi White Light Sword to parry repeatedly without retaliating.

She recognized the Golden Dragon Scissors, knowing they were the magical treasures of the Three Immortals Island and the Three Immortals. Her relationship with the Three Immortals, especially Yunxiao, was indeed awkward, but they weren't enemies, were they?

"What is the relationship between my sister and the Three Immortal Maidens of the Three Immortal Islands?"

"Enough with the nonsense!" Yu Xiao's slashes were faster than the last.

"What are Yunxiao and your sister's names?" "I don't know them!"

"You really don't recognize me?" Longji carefully examined Yuxiao's face. She looked somewhat like Yunxiao. How could she deny it so vehemently?

However, she was not familiar with Yunxiao, so she could only ask again, "Sister, have you ever heard of the name Fairy Qiongxiao?"

"never heard of that!"

"Could you perhaps be a relative of the Fairy Bixiao?"

"You're so annoying, I don't even know you!"

Longji was angered by her attitude and wanted to unleash the Mist Dew Universe Net to fight the Four Seas Bottle, but he felt that he didn't need to lower himself to the level of a greenhorn girl.

A quarter of an hour later.

Longji feinted and retreated first.

Yu Xiao, like a newborn calf, is not afraid of tigers, but Long Ji is not.

This inexplicable battle was utterly meaningless, and fearing a sneak attack from the Innate Peach Tree, she completely disregarded her pride and calmly withdrew from the battlefield.

"I don't know any of those Yunxiao and Qiongxiao you're talking about. Are they famous immortals?" Yu Xiao and Long Ji were drinking in a restaurant.

Yu Xiao was annoyed that the opportunity she had just gotten had slipped away, but now she had calmed down. She happened to see Long Ji in the teahouse, so she came over to strike up a conversation.

She had already given up on the previous argument, and there was no need for a senior like Longji to keep harping on that little conflict. She was certain that the young girl in front of her was connected to the Three Immortal Islands.

"You really don't know that the three fairies Yunxiao, Qiongxiao, and Bixiao are all disciples of the Shangqing Sage of the Jie Sect, and that they are collectively known as the Three Xiao Sisters?"

Yu Xiao wondered to himself, "Is my Daoist name Yu Xiao really related to the Three Immortal Islands?"
"Where are my sister's parents? I'm sure you can find out by asking."

"Parents? I don't know! Haha, sister, don't look at me like that, I really don't know."

Yu Xiao knew nothing about it, and Long Ji didn't know if this was Yun Xiao's arrangement. Adhering to the principle of "observe more and say less," she remained noncommittal and stopped pressing Yu Xiao's identity. Instead, she talked about the innate peach tree and Sun Wukong's havoc in the Heavenly Palace.

Yu Xiao was ultimately not corrupted by the survival-of-the-fittest mentality of the prehistoric world. After hearing that the Primordial Peach Tree was an "asset" of the Heavenly Court and had a close relationship with Longji's mother, she recognized the legitimacy of Longji's acquisition of the Primordial Peach Tree.

She downed a glass of wine with great gusto: "Don't worry, sister, I'll go with you to catch that guy. I found a talisman that targets the primordial spirit in a dangerous place. As soon as I see her again, I can take her down in one move!"

Longji observed the girl's expression and confirmed that she was not deceiving him and genuinely wanted to help him capture the Innate Peach Tree. He immediately expressed his gratitude.

Traveling on my own, wherever I go is a journey, and finding the Primordial Peach Tree can be considered as fulfilling Yaochi's wish.

That afternoon, they headed south together, deep into the Ten Thousand Mountains, searching for traces of the innate peach tree.

On the way, Longji told Yuxiao a lot of common sense about cultivation. Putting aside other things, you should know how to ride the clouds, right? You should also know a couple of moves of the Five Elements magic, right?

These are not related to major religious traditions; they are all popular knowledge, so she can teach them without any pressure.
