Great Love for All Heavens Begins with Huang Yaoshi

Chapter 202 To cultivate immortality and seek the Dao, one must eat well and sleep well, and not let mortals outdo one.
Three days later.

Tongtian Peak, Yuqing Palace.

The head of the seven sects of Qingyun sat at the head of the table, while the four disciples who had won the top prize in the Seven Sects Martial Arts Tournament stood in the middle of the hall.

"The reason I have brought you here today is to prepare you to go down the mountain and gain some experience."

Dao Xuan Zhenren stood up, his tone friendly:
"Three thousand miles to the east lies Mount Kongsang, an important stronghold of the Demonic Sect eight hundred years ago. It was the Blood Refining Hall, a branch of the Demonic Sect, that set up its headquarters on this mountain."

"Because the Wanfu Ancient Cave on the mountain is cold and damp, it is extremely suitable for cultivating demonic arts. It was only after our righteous sects besieged and suppressed that the Blood Refining Hall was defeated and forced to retreat, leaving this mountain deserted."

"But half a year ago, remnants of the Blood Refining Hall appeared near the Ten Thousand Bats Cave, suspected to be hiding an extremely secret treasure cave in the Ten Thousand Bats Cave, containing many rare treasures, demonic books and evil scrolls."

"These remnants came here to find the secret cave where the treasure is hidden, so I have specially sent the four of you to investigate. In addition, Fenxiang Valley and Tianyin Temple will also send their disciples."

"At that time, you must not be disrespectful in front of others, but you must not diminish the prestige of my Qingyun Sect. You must also remember that the demonic sect is treacherous and vicious, so you must be careful."

"Yes."

The four of them spoke in unison.

Dao Xuan Zhenren nodded:

"Zhang Xiaofan, please step forward."

The young man in yellow stepped forward, and Dao Xuan Zhenren took something from his robes and handed it to him, saying:

"With you at Dazhu Peak, and with you at Qingyun Sect, we are truly fortunate."

"It is thanks to the tenth generation patriarch, Wu Fangzi, who took on the exceptionally talented Qingye as his disciple that Qingyun has achieved its current success."

"Now that you have inherited the secret treasure of the patriarch, I hope you will live up to your talent, the treasure of the patriarch, and the ambition of Qingyun to protect the righteous path!"

The boy in the yellow shirt bowed and accepted the small mirror with both hands, saying:

"I will always remember the teachings of my senior master."

Dao Xuan Zhenren nodded with pleasure and then asked the people in the main hall to leave first so that he could teach the young man in yellow the secrets of the Six Harmonies Mirror.

Soon,
Zhuang Buran walked out of the Yuqing Hall and first saw Tian Buyi standing with his hands behind his back. He immediately stepped forward to pay his respects.
"Master."

"This matter concerns the remnants of the Demonic Cult, and cannot be delayed in the slightest. You don't need to return to Dazhu Peak first," Tian Buyi said solemnly.
"Seventh Brother, I have confidence in your cultivation, but you must not rely on your profound cultivation to easily venture into dangerous situations. You must always prioritize your own safety."

"Disciple understands," the young man in yellow replied.

"Alright, I'll also talk to Ling'er on her behalf, so that she won't be all angry with you when you get back to the mountain."

After giving the yellow-robed youth a final instruction not to act rashly, Tian Buyi flew away on his sword.

Outside the Qingyun Sect's headquarters.

Lu Xueqi, Qi Hao, and Zeng Shushu each summoned their immortal swords, only to find the yellow-robed youth still standing in the same spot.

"Junior Brother Zhang, didn't you say you were going to the Ten Thousand Bats Cave on Kongsang Mountain as soon as possible? Why aren't you moving?" Zeng Shushu asked in a questioning voice while suspended in mid-air.

"Traveling on a sword is a bit tiring. I happened to have some free time on Dazhu Peak and I refined a magic weapon."

As the young man in the yellow shirt spoke, eight masked men dressed in gray and yellow robes carried a black sedan chair and flew over.

"You wouldn't be thinking of setting off in this sedan chair, would you?" Zeng Shushu asked, his eyes wide.

"good."

The young man in yellow robes leaped up and sat inside the sedan chair, saying:

"Senior Brother Zeng, Senior Sister Lu, Senior Brother Qi, stop looking. The people carrying the sedan chair are Yellow Turban Warriors that I crafted, not living people."

"The sedan chair has enough space inside. Even if seven or eight people sit in it, it will still be quite spacious. Why don't you get in the sedan chair to rest while you continue your journey, saving yourself the trouble of traveling?"

The three exchanged glances, and seeing that the sedan chair was indeed large enough, they entered one by one. Inside, the sedan chair resembled a magnificent palace, with golden silk curtains hanging from the four corners, shimmering and sparkling under the reflection of pearls.

The dome is inlaid with a caisson ceiling carved from a single piece of Hetian jade with flowing cloud patterns, and eight gold-inlaid dragon palace lanterns hang from the sandalwood beams, illuminating the three-zhang square space as bright as day.

The head seat was covered with three layers of brocade cushions, and a seven-foot-long carved sandalwood armchair extended out in a circular seating area on both sides.

Each seat has a small table next to it, on which are placed some drinks and snacks.

"Dear senior brothers and sisters, please make yourselves at home and find a seat."

“Junior Brother Zhang, it has to be you! I thought we would have to travel a long way by flying, but I didn’t expect to be able to get to Kongsang Mountain by sedan chair.” Zeng Shushu sat down generously.

Zhuang Buran said somewhat lazily:
"If a person who cultivates immortality lives a life worse than that of an ordinary person struggling in the mortal world, then what is the point of cultivating immortality?"

"That makes sense, absolutely right!" Zeng Shushu clapped his hands and cheered.

At this moment, Lu Xueqi and Qi Hao also sat down one after another, and then heard the young man in yellow say:
"The peach blossom wine in the sedan chair was brewed by myself when I had nothing else to do, and the snacks were made by my sixth senior brother. You can try them."

"When we pass through a city later, we can buy some of our favorite foods. I came out in a hurry and didn't bring much money with me, so I'll just wait for my two senior brothers and Senior Sister Lu to feed me."

Zeng Shushu burst into laughter first, finding the young man in yellow to be exactly as his fellow disciples had described, quite amusing. Even the usually aloof Lu Xueqi couldn't help but smile.

Even Qi Hao, who considered someone a rival, had to admit that this young man in yellow always exuded a unique charm that made people feel close to him.

"Once we arrive in Heyang City, Junior Brother Zhang, just tell me what you'd like to eat," Zeng Shushu said, offering his full promise.

The young man in the yellow shirt smiled, tapped the armrest of the seat lightly, and the sedan chair silently sped eastward.

Seven days later.

A towering, precipitous mountain stretched for miles, its landscape a landscape of mostly rocks with little vegetation, devoid of any human habitation, appearing utterly desolate.

starry night.

Qi Hao lifted a corner of the sedan curtain behind his head and said:

"It's getting late, and this mountain is quite desolate and eerie. I'm afraid there are many mountain spirits and monsters. We should rest for the night and look for the Ten Thousand Bats Cave tomorrow morning."

Zeng Shushu glanced outside and immediately agreed.

"If you ask me, the righteous predecessors eight hundred years ago were only concerned with dealing with the demonic sect, which is why the righteous and demonic paths have reunited on this mountain."

The boy in the yellow shirt said lazily:
"If it were me, if I were to wipe out all the demonic cultists of Kongsang Mountain, I would also blow up the entire mountain, thus eliminating any remaining evil intentions."

"Junior Brother Zhang, it must have taken an immense amount of effort to blast down such a steep and towering mountain," Zeng Shushu said, both amused and exasperated.

"I think the righteous predecessors eight hundred years ago must have felt that it was better to pursue the remnants of the demonic sect than to go through all this trouble."

"Indeed, it would probably take the Taiqing Realm to easily shatter such a mountain."

The young man in yellow had just finished speaking when he looked at Lu Xueqi outside the sedan chair and suddenly spoke:
"Look, there's movement up the mountain."

Qi Hao and Zeng Shushu immediately lifted the sedan curtain and looked out. They saw patches of dark clouds on the mountain, and could vaguely see four streaks of light: two yellow, one white, and one blue.

At this moment, a small mirror floated out of the sedan chair, hovering above the top of the chair. As the yellow light intensified, it revealed a halo that illuminated an area of ​​ten feet in radius.

The four streaks of light seemed to have spotted a light not far below the mountain and flew rapidly toward it.

Before long, one could see that the top of the sedan chair was decorated with bronze carvings, with dragons carved on the top and tigers carved on the bottom, as well as a six-sided mirror with the eight trigrams.

Upon seeing this celestial treasure, everyone immediately recognized that disciples of the Qingyun Sect had arrived at Kongsang Mountain.

Four beams of light descended, revealing four people: two monks, a man, and a woman.

One of the monks was tall with thick eyebrows and large eyes, while the other was thin with fair skin. The other two were a handsome man and a beautiful woman.
