Start cultivating immortality by slacking off and posting ads

Chapter 182 Dragon Butterfly Dance Startles the Dream, Clouds Over the Mountain, a Long-Standing Feud is Plotted [Part Two]

To ensure that Old Man Mei drank enough, Tang Hao himself also drank quite a bit of alcohol.

Completely drunk, he stayed at Meixian Xiaozhu to rest.

I slept until this morning.

Luo Kedi, who was also staying there, pulled Yan Yumin onto her flying boat.

'Fortunately, the master-disciple relationship with Old Man Mei has finally been resolved smoothly.' Tang Hao waved to Mei Yunqing, who was seeing them off.

He was the only one who didn't participate in the exchange meeting, as he was celebrating here yesterday.

The others had to first reach Wufang Mountain, and then take the sect's immortal boat to the [Xiaoyao Sword Sect].

When the flying boat arrived at Wufang Mountain.

From afar, they could see a huge multi-story ship hovering on the mountaintop.

The ship was hundreds of meters long and over a hundred meters wide; it was practically a mobile palace.

"Hiss... Is this a flying boat? It's huge!" Luo Kedi's eyes widened, his mouth gaped open, and he almost drooled.

Helian Jinxi was also dumbfounded. The largest one she had ever seen before was the imperial ship of the Dongling Kingdom, a magical treasure.

But compared to the enormous creature in front of it, it was undoubtedly just a baby.

Upon seeing the group arrive, Chi Xuanzong flew over to greet them.

Hearing this, he smiled and said, "This is the [Five Qi Profound Heaven Boat], the largest and highest-grade spiritual treasure flying boat in our [Qinghua Sect]."

"Tsk, this ship must have consumed a lot of resources for one trip," Tang Hao remarked.

In reality, he felt that even if he obtained it, he would most likely not be able to afford to open it, and it would just sit in the reward space gathering dust.

“That’s right. This ship not only requires a huge amount of spirit stones to operate, but also needs a Nascent Soul cultivator to control it. It’s not something that can be used lightly unless it’s a grand event like an exchange meeting.”

Chi Xuanzong nodded and explained to him with an extremely kind smile, while handing him a uniquely shaped jade talisman that resembled a lone boat.

"This is the control jade talisman of the [Five Qi Mystic Heaven Boat]. In addition to the main talisman in the True Lord's hand, there are four secondary talismans, which are in the hands of the old Taoist and three other Supreme Lords respectively."

Tang Hao took it out of curiosity, played with it for a while, and then handed it to Yan Yumin beside him.

Seeing the sect leader's attitude, Helian Jinxi couldn't help but glance at Tang Hao.

My curiosity grew even stronger about the contents of the other person's identity card from last night.

Anyway, her intuition told her that it was definitely not just the certificate of an ordinary true disciple.

The more she got to know him, the more she felt that he was shrouded in mystery. She could see through one layer, only to find another layer of disguise hidden beneath. She could never see through him completely.

As they spoke, the group landed on the highest pavilion of the ship.

At this moment, many elders and disciples arrived and were boarding the ship one after another.

After waiting for about half an hour, the enormous magical flying boat, which resembled a moving palace, silently glided out.

Only after leaving the sect's territory did the ship shudder and transform into a streak of light, rapidly flying into the distance.

The Immortal Sect Disciples Exchange Meeting includes many competition events.

In reality, it was merely a means to promote communication and understanding among the younger generation of various sects.

Aside from those selected to participate in the competition, ordinary sect disciples can also participate if they wish.

Of course, there is a significant difference in treatment between publicly funded travel and self-funded travel.

Disciples with competition missions, the Core Formation elders leading each event, and several Nascent Soul stage leaders naturally traveled by the sect's magical spirit boat.

These elders' close disciples can also accompany them onto the [Five Qi Mystic Heaven Boat] as attendants.

Helian Jinxi served as Mei Zhen's attendant, which also made it easier for Mei Zhen to observe his future first disciple.

Those who had neither competition tasks nor connections with elders, but still wanted to join the exchange meeting, had no choice but to travel on the sect's merchant ships.

Putting aside the differences in comfort, the speed difference between the two is more than tenfold.

After Tang Hao and his group settled into their rooms, they began to explore various parts of the ship.

The ship was filled with wandering disciples of various sects, but elders were rarely seen.

Therefore, many people greeted Yan Yumin and Mei Zhen, who were traveling with them, with surprised expressions.

"Sister Mian's popularity and the number of people turning their heads to look at her are indeed beyond what ordinary disciples can match. She truly deserves to be the number one beauty in our Qinghua Sect."

He brushed past several disciples, and seeing that they were still looking this way even after he had walked quite a distance, Tang Hao couldn't help but purse his lips and send a message.

"That's an interesting way to describe 'turnaround rate'," Yan Yumin said, giving him amusement.

He said meaningfully, "Speaking of which, you do get quite a lot of attention."

"haha, really?"

Tang Hao's lips twitched involuntarily. He felt that saying these things was digging a hole for himself, so he quickly changed the subject.

"Sister Jue didn't fly there by herself, did she? It wouldn't be good if she got lost again."

Unable to resist rolling her eyes, Yan Yumin said helplessly, "I already said that when I went to Cangyun City, it was because I had never been there before. Why do you still remember this?"

"Hehe, even a Nascent Soul cultivator can get lost. Don't you find that interesting, Sister Mian... Huh?"

As they were talking, Tang Hao suddenly realized something was wrong, tilted his head to look at her and said, "I was teasing Sister Jue, why did Sister Mian react so strongly?"

Yan Yumin quickly calmed herself down and composed herself.

"Really? Cough cough, I was just standing up for her." She kept her eyes straight ahead.

Then, she brought the topic back to the beginning: "Bai Jue has already boarded the ship, but due to her status, she cannot move around freely. She is currently resting in my room."

"I see, then..."

He was overjoyed and was about to say something when suddenly several disciples emerged from a corner.

Upon seeing them, they walked over here, led by the girl in the lead.

"unlucky!"

Upon seeing that it was Shen Mengyao, Tang Hao immediately frowned.

Influenced by the Black Qi Dragon Butterfly, this woman became increasingly paranoid and insane.

He just wanted to test the spell's effects and didn't want to get entangled with her any further.

'We've observed what needed to be observed; it's time to see the effects of the recovery.'

Thinking this, Tang Hao said, "Let's go over there," and then turned around.

The group was aware of the entanglement between them, glanced at Shen Mengyao, and followed without hesitation.

They had only taken a few steps when they heard a "poof" sound, and a bloody smell filled the air.

Tang Hao and his group looked back at the past.

Then, Shen Mengyao spat out a mouthful of blood, her eyes dull and lifeless.

If Zhuang Yun and others hadn't helped her up, she probably would have collapsed to the ground long ago.

Watching this scene with a detached eye, Tang Hao's perspective differed from that of the others.

In his field of vision, countless insect eggs within the opponent's glow hatched simultaneously.

Countless butterfly larvae crawled and wriggled in the glow, quickly devouring the dissipated energy.

Then it pupates, emerges as a pupa, and completes its metamorphosis into the Black Dragon Butterfly.

This process is extremely rapid.

In the blink of an eye, a swarm of black dragon butterflies of all sizes gathered into an invisible black cloud and flew toward him.

Of those present, only Yan Yumin vaguely sensed something.

A suspicious gaze swept between the two, but no one said anything more.

"There's nothing to see, let's go!"

Tang Hao sensed something and then told everyone to leave.

This change will not cost the other party their life.

As for the consequences of having so much radiance devoured by the Black Qi Dragon Butterfly, we will need to continue observing to find out.

After briefly exploring the ship and satisfying their curiosity, they returned to their respective rooms.

Tang Hao was slightly disappointed that he couldn't see Bai Jue.

At the same time, he also noticed something strange: Mei Zhen was also sent back to her room by Yan Yumin and did not go to meet Bai Jue.

"Come to think of it, I don't think I've ever heard my senior sister mention Bai Jue before. It's as if she doesn't even know she exists." Tang Hao recalled, sitting on the bed.

He was puzzled: "But when Sister Jue mentioned Senior Sister Mei, she called her so intimately, it didn't seem fake at all." After pondering for a while, he felt that something was missing. He couldn't figure it out, so he put the question aside.

He then focused his attention on his inner sanctum.

The black dragon butterflies he had retrieved were now frolicking freely among them.

After observing them for a while, Tang Hao discovered that they were born with his own mark.

However, it is slightly different from what is directly catalyzed by arcane runes.

'Besides spiritual power, it seems to contain something else.' He hesitated for a moment, then caught one.

After much effort, Tang Hao finally refined the black dragon butterfly.

Besides a slight increase in spiritual consciousness, I also obtained some chaotic fragments of images.

'Is this Shen Mengyao's memory, or a dream?' He glanced through it.

Many of the videos discovered showed the woman engaging in sexual acts with male disciples.

My lips twitched instantly; I felt a burning sensation in my eyes.

Looking hesitantly at the remaining hundred or so black dragon butterflies, Tang Hao felt a headache coming on, wondering how to deal with these things.

'Should we just let them go back?' The thought had barely crossed his mind when he sensed something strange.

Having had several experiences with this, he instantly realized that it was a reminder from the [Mystic Tortoise Concentration Technique].

'All...refine them all?'

Trusting the [Mystic Tortoise Concentration Technique], Tang Hao gritted his teeth and sent his divine sense enveloping the swarm of black dragon butterflies: 'Come on! Ugh...'

One after another, until all the black dragon butterflies disappeared.

He was pleasantly surprised to find that his divine sense had been refined and its size had increased by nearly 10%.

What excited him even more was that the progress value of the Nightmare Realm spell had changed to six.

"Nightmare Realms: Spell effects under construction, current progress: 6/100"

'The Nightmare Butterfly has brought quite a few benefits, and it would be even better if those cringe-worthy scenes could be filtered out!'

Tang Hao was very satisfied to have found a new way to advance the construction of spell effects.

He stood up, stretched, and realized it was already the next day.

Seeing that Lao Luo and the others were not in the room, he went out for a walk and found them in the highest attic.

"Is the cultivation over?"

Seeing him approach, Yan Yumin nodded with a smile in her eyes.

"Okay!" Tang Hao greeted the others.

He casually replied, "I've gained a little; my spiritual awareness has increased and been refined somewhat."

“Cultivating spiritual consciousness is the most difficult thing. Whether you seek it internally or externally, you must avoid greed and attachment. Remember not to be careless!” Yan Yumin’s eyes flashed as she recalled yesterday’s events and gave a pointed warning.

Tang Hao understood her implication and replied, "Don't worry, Sister Mian, I've got it."

Just then, Luo Kedi exclaimed softly, "We've arrived at the Yunwei Mountains."

'The Cloud-Veiled Mountains?'

Startled by this, Tang Hao looked towards the side and rear of the ship.

Sure enough, at the edge of the field of vision, I saw a magnificent immortal city that looked vaguely familiar—Dongliu Immortal City.

He couldn't help but exclaim, "Tsk tsk, the Five Qi Mystic Heaven Boat is truly swift. In just one day and one night, it has covered the distance that took us more than ten days on a merchant ship."

“Yes, in another half a day, we will arrive at the [Free and Unfettered Sword Sect].” Luo Kedi also had a look of reminiscence on his face.

Dongling Kingdom is the largest of the three kingdoms in Cangnan in terms of land area.

The vast majority of its territory falls within the sphere of influence of the Qinghua Sect.

Only a portion of the Yunwei Mountain Range belongs to the [Xiaoyao Sword Sect].

Thinking of this, Tang Hao asked curiously, "Speaking of which, Cangyun City is much closer to the [Xiaoyao Sword Sect]. Why did you decide to join the [Qinghua Sect] and even want to become Sister Mian's disciple?"

This was a question that had been lingering in his mind for a long time, and he finally took the opportunity to ask it today.

Upon hearing his question, Yan Yumin raised an eyebrow, revealing a concerned expression.

"It's really nothing."

Luo Kedi glanced at his master with embarrassment: "Master is my savior."

"What happened? Tell me in detail." Tang Hao's eyes lit up as he pressed on, not forgetting to tease him, "At first, I thought you were only after Sister Mian's beauty..."

His expression turned anxious, and Luo Kedi quickly interrupted, "How could that be?"

“It’s not just my junior brother who thinks so, I think so too,” Mei Zhen chimed in with a smile.

"You guys, sigh..."

He sighed helplessly, stopped arguing, and began to recount what had happened.

It turns out that Luo Kedi did not have a specific destination after leaving Cangyun City.

She simply ran away from home because she couldn't be with Sheng Yan.

"Back then, I was traveling eastward along the Canglan River by boat when we were attacked by a monster. It ate many of the passengers, and it seemed that only a few of us were left." A trace of lingering fear flashed across Luo Kedi's face.

Clearly, the situation at the time was far more complex than he described so casually.

Then, his eyes lit up: "It was my master who passed by and killed that demon beast. I learned about her identity from the fellow cultivators, which is why I decided to go to the Qinghua Sect."

"It seems that's true. At the time, I was collecting cultural water all over Cangnan." Yan Yumin recalled briefly, then nodded slightly, confirming Lao Luo's words.

Tang Hao looked at him strangely: "How come I remember the first time you met Sister Mian was at my place on Chitie Peak?"

"He was so frightened he fainted, he was soaked to the bone, I wouldn't have recognized him if you hadn't told me," Yan Yumin explained to Tang Hao with a smile.

"Ahem, Master!"

Seeing Luo Kedi's flushed face, everyone couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Ten thousand miles away, at the gate of the Free and Unfettered Sword Sect, a small magical flying boat hovered in mid-air.

Yan Yunsheng lay listlessly on the deck, staring blankly at the white clouds slowly drifting across the sky.

"What's wrong with you?"

A young man leaned against the gunwale, his arms braced on either side, his eyes fixed on him.

With a look of utter disappointment, he said, "Ever since you returned to the sect, you've been acting like this. Who are you trying to impress?"

Rolling his eyes, Yan Yunsheng turned to the side, turning his back to the young man.

"Hey, you little bastard!" The young man rolled up his sleeves, his face showing an expression that said, "I'll beat you to a pulp."

They pulled him off the deck:

"Let me tell you, the people from the Qinghua Sect will be here soon. I don't care what triggered you, so pull yourself together. If you embarrass me in front of Fairy Yan, I will not let you off easily!"

"【Qinghua Sect】?"

Yan Yunsheng was taken aback, and immediately straightened up.

Looking at his senior brother, he pressed further, "The Qinghua Sect, the head of the five great immortal sects?"

"Otherwise what?" The senior brother was a little surprised by his reaction.

After a moment's thought, he raised an eyebrow and said with a strange expression, "You weren't bullied by the Qinghua Sect, were you?"

As far as I can remember, my junior brother just went to the other side's territory.

"Don't worry, just tell me what happened to you, and I promise you..."

His eyes lit up, and Yan Yunsheng hurriedly said, "Senior brother, are you going to stand up for me? Even if it offends Fairy Yan, I'm willing to do it?"

The image of Tang Hao flashed through his mind, and he immediately felt a burning hatred.

How could I not hate it?

Just because he's a man doesn't mean he can touch someone's lower abdomen.
'My precious sword case, which I cherish as if it were my life, has been taken and wantonly desecrated by him.' Yan Yunsheng gritted his teeth.

His eyes seemed to spit fire: 'He even made me demonstrate the sword techniques I'd learned for him, like making a fool of a monkey! This is outrageous! Tang Hao, is it? With my senior brother backing me up, I'll make you pay!'

He looked at his senior brother with hope, expecting to hear words of protection from him.

"I promise I won't laugh at you too much!" The eldest brother looked at him as if he were dreaming.

"Fang, Mo, Yang!"
