I forge immortality with spiritual treasures.

Chapter 151 Q&A

As night fell, lanterns were lit up above the cloud-shaped boat.

A dazzling display of lights, like fireworks blooming across the sky.

Looking out, one can still see people coming and going like flowing water, and many cultivators gather on the pavilions and towers, inviting friends and family to feast and make merry.

As night fell, the atmosphere seemed to become even more lively.

However, Ying Chan had already exhausted his enjoyment after strolling around for most of the day, so he found a servant on the cloud boat and asked, "Is there a place to rest on this cloud boat?"

The waiter bowed and replied, "Each cloud-shaped boat is equipped with a Gathering Cloud Pavilion, a Wind and Dew Pavilion, and a Meeting Immortals Abode. May I ask which one your esteemed guest wishes to visit?"

"Oh?" Ying Chan asked curiously, "I wonder what the difference is between these two one-bedroom apartments?"

The waiter patiently explained, “All who come from all directions are guests. Juyun Tower was established on this premise. It has many quiet rooms and meditation cushions. Anyone who comes to the boat market can go to Juyun Tower to relax and take a break. It is the most convenient place.”

He paused, his tone carefully chosen: "However... there are many people in Juyun Tower, so it's inevitably not very elegant and quiet."

"Therefore, some distinguished guests who are not happy with this will spend a little money to stay in the Fenglu Tower."

"As for Huixianju, you need to have a letter of invitation from Fangshi to check in."

"I see."

Ying Chan nodded slightly, understanding in his heart.

He will probably stay in Wanshanfang City for a few more days. Rather than staying in Juyunlou, he might as well spend a little money to find a quiet place.

After a moment's thought, he said, "Then let's go to Fenglu Tower."

"Yes, esteemed guest, please follow me." The waiter responded crisply and stepped forward to lead the way.

Ying Chan leisurely followed, and soon he was far away from the noise. Even the hanging lanterns in the air seemed to have become a color that set off the tranquility.

Before long, the two arrived at a pavilion. After passing through the small and elegant front courtyard, they stepped into the building, where a faint fragrance of incense wafted towards them, refreshing their senses.

The waiter led Ying Chan straight up to the third floor, opened a superior room, and respectfully asked, "Honored guest, are you satisfied with this place?"

Ying Chan stepped into the room and nodded secretly.

The upper room of Fenglu Tower was indeed exquisitely decorated and fully furnished. Of course, what truly satisfied him was that the place was indeed elegant and quiet.

"This is the place."

The attendant quickly bowed and then discreetly withdrew from the room, gently closing the door behind him.

As the footsteps faded into the distance, Ying Chan raised his hand and pointed, and several beams of mysterious light flew out and imprinted on the doors and windows.

He then glanced around and saw that all the lamps and candlesticks that had been placed on the walls spontaneously combusted, turning the previously dim room into a bright and spacious one.

Ying Chan smiled slightly, sat down at the table, and intended to take out the Taoist books to study, but suddenly remembered the strange book, so he simply took it out and flipped through it casually.

"Well……"

Ying Chan raised an eyebrow. No wonder the steward said that this book carries history; it turns out that the answers in the book are still there today.

Opening the book cover, I found it covered in handwriting.

The first owner of this book seems to have been an official in the mortal world, and the questions he asked were mostly about the ways of being an official.

However, instead of addressing the questions of governance, the entire book is filled with scheming, opportunism, and self-preservation techniques.

Ying Chan shook his head, feeling somewhat bored. He then turned the pages of the book, only to find that the handwriting had changed after just two or three pages.

"It changed hands so quickly?"

This thought should be raised, but it is quickly dismissed, because it is evident from the official's questions that his understanding changes considerably with each response. Perhaps this 'answer sheet' has certain limitations, preventing continuous responses?
So, did the change in handwriting mean that the first owner... died of old age?
Ying Chan felt a slight chill run down his spine.

A mortal's life is but a few pages long in this book.

He calmed himself down and slowly flipped through the book. The history in the book was not particularly exciting. Most of the questions that ordinary people had, while not exactly 'stupid' in his opinion, were still very limited by their perspective.

While there are occasionally some eye-opening questions, the answers are often disappointing.

However, questions about immortality or becoming an immortal are simply nonsense...

When Ying Chan turned to the end, he discovered that the monk who finally obtained the book asked a lot of questions related to cultivation.

For example, one question might be: "How does one cultivate the Golden Elixir?"

Ying Chan was initially quite interested in the answer, but the answer in the book was so nonsensical that it was almost laughable.

Ying Chan shook his head. No wonder Wanshanfang Market so easily placed this item in the Oddities Pavilion for sale.

After reading all the answers in the book, his initial curiosity had dissipated considerably. He had originally intended to close the book, but then a thought crossed his mind, and he took out his pen and ink. After pondering for a moment, he wrote: "How to cultivate a first-class罡煞 (gangsha)?"

Soon, ink began to seep into the paper, and a line of neat, square characters gradually appeared.

Ying Chan couldn't help but show surprise in his eyes.

The handwriting was exactly the same as the answers he had seen before, so this book was indeed quite peculiar.

However, after seeing the handwriting clearly, he was speechless.

The answer in the book is: "Only by absorbing all thirty-six Heavenly Spirits and seventy-two Earthly Fiends can one become the number one in the world."

Ying Chan closed the 'Q&A' ​​and didn't look at it again.

He cultivates the "Myriad Laws and Profound Images Treasure Record," and only when the profound light is fully developed will the sect pass down the method of condensing evil and refining qi, so there is no need to seek it from outside.

I never expected to get any answers from this book, so I'm not disappointed.

Ying Chan took out the Taoist book and read it for a while, then sat cross-legged on the couch and began to condense his magical power.

Suddenly, the sky turned white.

The bustling market had been lively all night, and the activity showed no signs of abating even after sunrise.

More and more practitioners flocked to the area, and by noon, the crowds were already dense.

Ying Chan withdrew from his night of cultivation. With a thought, he summoned back the Xuan Guang, and the doors and windows opened, letting in the sunlight.

He calculated the time, his spirits lifted, and he knew that the Wanbao Conference was about to officially begin. He immediately straightened his clothes and got up to go out.

The Wanbao Club is held every twelve years, so there's nothing particularly new about it.

Ying Chan had already found out the rules and regulations, and knew that in the center of these dozens of cloud boats was a "Ten Thousand Treasures Boat", which was the headquarters of Wanshanfang City, and the Wanbao Society was held there.

Although the Wanbao Boat was not open to the public yesterday, he had already spotted it during his leisurely stroll. After leaving Fenglu Tower, he made his way there with ease, passing several cloud-shaped boats, and soon the Wanbao Boat came into view.

This Wanbao Boat is several times larger than an ordinary cloud boat. Standing on the cloud boat, one can only look up at the hull, which is as majestic as a city wall, with precious light soaring into the sky and the color of glass changing.

It truly lives up to its name, Wanbao.

At this moment, many rainbow bridges had been lowered on the Wanbao Boat. Ying Chan walked up along them and stepped onto the deck. Suddenly, he felt something in his heart.

The Wanbao Boat that we just saw was already a colossal object, but once you step inside, you will be surprised to find that there is a vast world inside, stretching as far as the eye can see, with only towering buildings standing tall.
