Calabash Fairy

"Kitchen God, it's been so long since I've seen you. Are you doing well...?"

On the ground, the warm jade remained embedded there without moving, and only a muffled voice could be heard greeting it.

"Thank you for your concern, young Taoist priest. Everything is fine, but..."

Before the Kitchen God could finish speaking, he sensed something and looked again in the direction Wen Yu had come from. He saw a streak of green light flashing from afar, flying towards them.

He subtly shifted his feet, and soon after, the azure light crashed down and slammed into the ground.

"boom----"

The Kitchen God waved his hand to disperse the dust that had risen again, revealing a young Taoist boy in green robes neatly embedded in the ground beside Wen Yu, with an identical shoe print on his buttocks...

Unlike Wen Yu, this young Taoist boy recovered quickly, standing up abruptly. Ignoring his disheveled appearance, his handsome face flushed red, he angrily exclaimed:

"Wen Yu!!! Look what you've done!!"

"The master said! If we don't come soon, that girl will be snatched away by someone else!!!"

Wen Yu didn't speak, but instead tried moving his fingers and pointed behind the little Taoist boy.

Feng Ling finally came to her senses and quickly looked behind her. She saw the Kitchen God standing not far away, watching this scene with a smile. Her face flushed again, but she quickly turned around and bowed.

"Feng Ling of Changqing Palace greets the Kitchen God."

The Kitchen God stroked his beard and laughed:

"It seems that my goal is the same as yours."

.......................

Half a month later, at the top floor of Shengjing Tower in Gudu City.

In the same window seat as before, Fang Yan was having a pleasant conversation with Zhang Chenghuang.

"I have truly benefited greatly from discussing the Dao with you, young friend, over the past ten days. Even the bottleneck I am currently facing has begun to loosen. I never imagined that your learning would be so comprehensive and that you have made such deep progress in all areas."

How long has it been since I sensed this person's divine aura in Luo Tianyi?

Given this person's profound knowledge and mastery of alchemy, it's impossible that he only began cultivating at that time. Even so, the sudden appearance of this mountain god within the Ten Thousand Mountains was truly unbelievable to Zhang Chenghuang...

Fang Yan put down his wine glass and said with a smile:

"It is I, Fang, who should thank the City God. I have been well taken care of by the City God during this time."

Although his cultivation level did not improve much during this trip, his understanding and comprehension of the divine path greatly advanced, reaching a completely new level.

This is all thanks to the generous teachings of the City God Zhang...

"Having been away from the mountain for so long, I, the mountain god, should also return to Qingfeng Mountain."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Chenghuang stood up, cupped his hands, and said solemnly:

"If you are willing, young friend, you are welcome to visit Ancient Ferry City at any time. I will certainly welcome you with open arms!"

Upon hearing this, Fang Yan stood up and returned the greeting with a serious expression. Then, under the watchful eyes of the City God, he transformed into a gentle breeze and left Shengjing Tower, flying towards the direction of the Ten Thousand Mountains.

Outside the City God Temple gate, Judge Wu looked at the gentle breeze blowing across the sky and said with some regret:

"Unfortunately, I've only met this person a few times and haven't spoken to him yet. Lu Zhang, if he comes next time, you must let me entertain him."

Upon hearing this, Lu Zhang, who was looking at the bamboo slip in his hand, chuckled, rolled up the bamboo slip, and patted it to Wu Pan's chest.

"I think Judge Xu should deal with the backlog of things first, and then we can talk about other things."

As Lu Zhang finished speaking, he walked back to the City God Temple with his hands behind his back...

.................................

Inside Yang Sheng's small courtyard.

"well..."

Feng Ling, sitting at the wooden table, sighed softly, looking with deep resentment at Wen Yu, who was drinking with the Kitchen God not far away.

"I really don't know what this guy was thinking. Why couldn't he just be on his way? He had to get kicked over here by the master..."

At this moment, Feng Ling completely forgot that he himself had had even more fun than Wen Yu along the way...

"Don't worry, I told you long ago that everything is predestined. Those who are destined for our Taoist sect, as stated in the Taoist Ancestor's parable, cannot be taken away by anyone."

Hearing Wen Yu's voice, Feng Ling glanced at Wen Yu, who was still chatting and laughing with the Kitchen God, and couldn't help but roll her eyes.

"Everything is predestined... In Feng Ling's opinion, being kicked over by the master is not predestined, but retribution!"

Come to think of it, back in the mountains, the old man always kicked this guy...

...This time, he was completely led astray by Wen Yu and got on a sinking ship!!!

On the other side, Wen Yu shifted her still slightly aching buttocks and said with a faint smile:

"My master instructed me to come to the Ten Thousand Mountains to find the destined person who received the Daoist ancestor's teachings. I never expected to meet you here."

"Heh~ Don't worry, I'm only here to help out and make some good connections. I won't interfere with you."

The Kitchen God said with a smile.

He had met Wen Yu several times before at a banquet in Heaven. This young Taoist priest, as a true disciple of the Changqing Palace of the Taoist sect, had only cultivated for a few thousand years, but was highly regarded by many gods in Heaven.

Of course, he was one of the immortals who were optimistic about Wen Yu.

"Speaking of which, you must know quite a bit about this person, right? Could you perhaps reveal some details?"

Upon hearing this, Feng Ling, who was standing nearby, also immediately perked up her ears to listen.

Although they came here to find their destined one, they know nothing about the one who has not yet returned.

"It cannot be said, it cannot be said~"

"However, once you've met this mountain god of Qingfeng Mountain, I believe he will bring you some surprises."

The Kitchen God stroked his beard and smiled, but clearly had no intention of revealing anything...

...................................

Fang Yan left the ancient ferry city and returned along the way he came without stopping.

This was the first time he had been away from Qingfeng Mountain for so long. However, even though he was still quite far away from Qingfeng Mountain, he could still sense that there were no problems there, which reassured him.

Two and a half days later, when he returned to Qingfeng Mountain, he met the three people who had come looking for him.

At the edge of Qingfeng Mountain, amidst the forests.

"May I ask who the three of you are...?"

Fang Yan looked at the three people blocking his way. He had some idea about the kind-looking old man in the red robe on the right, but as for the other two...

The Kitchen God stepped forward and chuckled:

"I am the Kitchen God. Please rest assured, I have come here specifically to help you use that Cave Heaven Root."

Cave Heaven Root...

Fang Yan suddenly realized what was going on when he thought of that small gold and jade pillar.

During this time, he also speculated about what kind of person that senior was.

Now that the Kitchen God himself has come, the identity of the elder encountered in the ancient ferry city is naturally self-evident...

Fang Yan couldn't hide his surprise, while Wen Yu, who had remained calm throughout, now had a somewhat complicated expression.

...Yin-Yang Eight Trigrams Diagram...

He finally understood why the Kitchen God had said this person would bring him a "surprise"...

The mountain god of Qingfeng Mountain before us is hardly a person destined for any Taoist sect...

This person is practically a direct disciple of the Dao Ancestor!
