Cultivating Immortality from the Book of Life and Death

Chapter 373 Flower-Strewn Cave (First Update!)

After leaving the Linghai Cave, Zheng Que boarded the carriage that the jade pendant had transformed into.

Unlike before, today, after the carriage took human form, a cluster of flowers floated in front of it, vibrant and bright, with the petals pointing in a certain direction, which was the wisp of spiritual energy that Mu Xiangu had implanted into the jade pendant yesterday.

Mu Xiangu told him yesterday that he should go directly to the Flower Path Cave today.

Since it concerned his upcoming foundation building, Zheng Que naturally didn't want to delay at all.

As he pondered, the steed pulling the carriage took off, dragging the carriage into the air, chasing after the cluster of flowers and leaves, galloping across the sky.

The wind whistled past my ears, and cool mist seeped in through the window, damp and thick like fog.

Soon, the carriage arrived at a floating island shrouded in clouds and mist.

Like other floating islands, this one was shrouded in dense clouds and mist, obscuring all the details inside.

But after the bouquet of flowers floating in front disappeared into the mist, a pink and white passageway suddenly opened up in the mist that was originally so real. The passageway seemed to be paved with spring petals, looking delicate and beautiful, quite dreamlike.

Upon seeing this, Zheng Que immediately steered the carriage and flew into the passageway.

A mist carrying countless fallen petals swept quickly past outside the car, its cool air carrying a hint of sweet fragrance, as if we were traveling through a blooming flower forest.

Before long, the horse stepped onto solid ground and vanished without a trace along with the carriage, returning to the shape of the jade pendant and falling into Zheng Que's palm.

Zheng Que looked up and saw the vast sky, the floating islands, and the clear, fog-free surroundings. Everything was crystal clear.

Similar to his Spirit Sea Cave, the terrain of this floating island is also as smooth as if cut by a knife. However, unlike the Spirit Sea Cave, which is empty except for a palace, the entire floating island of Flower Path Cave is covered with lush greenery, and in the center there is a grove of blooming apricot trees, which are now in full bloom and are hidden deep within the towering buildings.

brush!
Just then, a figure in a yellow blouse and green skirt suddenly appeared beside him.

It was indeed Mu Xiangu.

Before Zheng Que could ask, Mu Xiangu spoke first: "That female cultivator from the Heavenly Artifact Sect is currently cultivating in her cave."

"Just go in and find her."

"I have other important matters to attend to, so I won't go in with you."

Upon hearing this, Zheng Que frowned and immediately transmitted his voice, saying, "Gao Yinxia listens to you now. You're not here, how am I supposed to talk to her alone?"

Hearing this, Mu Xiangu's eyes darted around for a moment. She turned her head, coughed lightly, and said calmly, "Don't worry, I already made arrangements with the female cultivator from the Heavenly Artifact Sect yesterday."

"She will definitely cooperate with you!"

Zheng Que simply shook his head and said telepathically again, "It's no use if she just agrees verbally; you must be there in person."

"Your current identity is that of her fellow disciple, and you also owe her a life-saving favor."

"She will naturally give you, her senior, face."

“But I’m different; I’m just an outsider.”

"If you weren't here, how could these disciples of the Heavenly Artifact Sect possibly respect me?"

"If I really go in like this, she might even attack me directly!"

Shooting?

How is that possible!

After all, that Gao Yinxia is just like me in a little while...

With that thought in mind, Mu Xiangu immediately and confidently assured him, "No!"

"Disciples of the Heavenly Artifact Sect always keep their word and their promises are as weighty as gold."

"That Gao Yinxia will definitely cooperate with your Heavenly Rank Foundation Establishment." "I've already explained everything clearly to her; there won't be any mistakes!"

To complement one's own Heavenly Rank Foundation Establishment?

Zheng Que frowned slightly and continued to transmit his voice, "If I want to achieve the Heavenly Rank Foundation Establishment, I need to abide by my own 'law'."

“My ‘law’ is related to marriage.”

"Maybe all it takes is to hold hands with Gao Yinxia."

"It might be necessary to cultivate together with her."

"What did you explain to Gao Yinxia?"

"I came here this time to resolve our past grievances and reconnect with her."

"This matter requires careful consideration."

"How could you possibly explain such a complex matter to Gao Yinxia?"

Upon hearing this, Mu Xiangu's face stiffened, and she replied somewhat awkwardly, "Again, again, dual cultivation?"

"Ah, no, this, this..."

"I'll tell her this telepathically now."

As soon as she finished speaking, she paused for only a moment before continuing, "Alright, we've agreed on dual cultivation as well."

"Well... I have other matters to attend to, so I'll be leaving now!"

After speaking, before Zheng Que could say anything more, he flicked his sleeve and disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.

Seeing Mu Xiangu suddenly disappear, Zheng Que frowned. He had already agreed to dual cultivation with Gao Yinxia.

how can that be!

Even if Gao Yinxia still harbors a grudge against him, or even if the two sides had no prior conflict, given her status and position, it would be impossible for her to agree to Mu Xiangu's request.

This matter should be handled gradually!
Given the current situation, it's highly likely that Mu Xiangu failed to persuade Gao Yinxia at all, and was afraid of losing face, which is why she was unwilling to go with him.

Thinking of this, Zheng Que took a deep breath, hesitated for a moment, and decided to go in first to meet Gao Yinxia.

Even if Gao Yinxia really wanted to fight him, he had four [Scissors Prison] ghost servants by his side, so he wasn't afraid of her!
So Zheng Que straightened his robes and strode toward the main entrance of the cave not far away.

※※※

Inside the Flower Path Cave, the magnificent hall was deserted, except for the lush and vibrant flowers and plants that adorned the entire structure, adding a touch of life to the otherwise beautiful architecture.

Suddenly, a figure in a yellow blouse and green skirt appeared quietly in the palace.

Upon returning to her cave, Mu Xiangu did not delay and quickly removed the human skin from her body, revealing her original appearance with a yellowish-brown dress and delicate features.

Then, she took out a human skin that she had prepared beforehand.

This human skin is fair and delicate, and feels like oil to the touch. Although the texture is a little worse than Gao Yinxia's own, Zheng Que is not Gao Yinxia herself, so how can you tell the difference?
Thinking of this, Mu Xiangu put on the human skin without hesitation, and her whole person instantly transformed into Gao Yinxia's appearance. The surging yin energy all over her body disappeared without a trace, and even her cultivation aura was exactly the same as Gao Yinxia's.

Just in case, Mu Xiangu picked up the storage bag that Gao Yinxia had left her, took out one of Gao Yinxia's robes, changed into it, and then hung the storage bag around her waist.

Having just finished these preparations, she sensed with her divine sense that Zheng Que was already walking towards the cave.

Mu Xiangu cleared her throat and quickly imitated Gao Yinxia's pronunciation and tone. Then, she started walking, using the exact same gait as Gao Yinxia, ​​towards the main seat at the head of the cave...
