Chapter 117 - senior Xu (second update)
The horse carriage was left in a village at the foot of the mountain. Those horses were not simple goods, so there was no need to worry at all.
Tianshan was an alias. The real name of the place was Qilian Mountain. It was a very long mountain range with luxuriant trees. The snow on the top of the mountain had accumulated all year round, and it never melted.
Many people went into Tianshan to dig for mallets.
Mallets were the name of the people in the nearby area. They were also known as ginseng
Because ginseng was an expensive medicinal herb, its price was very high. Therefore, many people went into the mountain all year round to dig for mallets. However, they only dared to dig halfway up the mountain. They did not dare to go up.
They were not the only ones. The gangs nearby also did not dare to go up.
There were seven strange people on the Sky Mountain. They had strange personalities and were powerful. They occupied the Heaven Lake. Many people from large factions came here to take the water from the Heaven Lake back. However, without exception, they were all killed.
Ye Sheng led the way. Dao Ming walked in the middle while Priest Qingxu followed behind.
It was midnight. The Deep Mountains were pitch black. Ye Sheng raised his torch and looked at the white snow around him. He said, “Master, we seem to have lost our way.”
The three master and disciple who came to the Sky Mountain for the first time had completely lost their way. They searched for a long time in the depths of the mountain, but still could not reach the top.
Priest Qingxu shook his head and said, “I wanted to fly up directly, but that would be impolite, so I chose to walk. I didn’t expect the mountain to be so complicated.”
“Master, Fly Up, “Dao Ming muttered. He did not want to leave. The snow in the mountain was very deep and thick. He stepped on it, and half of his body sank into it. If it were not for the powerful strength of his soul, it could protect his clothes.., he would have been drenched by now.
Priest Qing Xu Ignored Dao Ming. With a serious expression, he shouted, “Is senior Xu Here?”
His voice echoed in the Sky Mountain and traveled far away.
There were the roars of fierce beasts, the howls of wolves, and the sounds of wild beasts running together.
It was very chaotic.
Ten seconds later, an uncertain voice sounded, “Who is it?”
“I, Qing Xu, am here to pay my respects,”priest Qing Xu said.
“Qing Xu, from Mount Longhu?”A puzzled voice rang out.
“That’s right.”‘Daoist priest Qing Xu nodded.
“Come up. Follow the direction you’re heading in and head straight up. I’ll wait for you here,”senior Xu said.
Daoist priest Qing Xu immediately picked up Ye Sheng and Dao Ming, and with a flash, he headed straight up.
Senior Xu was a woman, and her voice had a hazy beauty to it. However, when Ye Sheng saw her, he was also stunned. She was like a fairy, standing beside a hot spring. Water vapor lingered around her, and she looked extremely beautiful.
Senior Xu was in her prime, and she looked to be in her thirties. However, her temperament was extremely mature. She wore a white Daoist robe, and she was tall and slender.
Her face was calm, and her hands were placed in front of her abdomen. Her hair was not tied together, and she was tied up with a red rope. Her temperament was outstanding.
“Qingxu of Mount Longhu, you were only a teenager back then. I didn’t expect you to be an old man now,”senior Xu said with a sigh after seeing Daoist Priest Qingxu.
Daoist priest Qingxu greeted him politely as a junior and brought Ye Sheng and Dao Ming along
“There’s no need to be so polite. I’m not an ordinary person. I don’t have that much airs,”senior Xu said with a wave of his hand.
“Senior, we haven’t seen each other for forty years. You’re still the same as you were back then, but I’m getting old, “Daoist Pries Qingxu said with a sigh as he looked at his white hair.
“You have consumed too much mental energy in the early years. You really shouldn’t have done that. Although your cultivation has increased, your lifespan has not recovered.”Senior void shook his head and said.
Daoist priest pure void smiled freely and said, “The past is all in the past. There is no need to bring it up again. Today, I came to pay my respects to senior for the sake of my two disciples.”
This time, senior void looked at Ye Sheng and Dao Ming
The first person she saw was Ye Sheng. His expression was gentle and had a smile on his face. Then, she looked at Dao Ming and said in surprise, “This child’s talent is very high.”
Dao Ming immediately became secretly proud.
Ye Sheng looked at Dao Ming. How could this devilish child see that his talent was high?
“Senior, this is my second disciple, Dao Ming. This time, I came here because I hope that senior can teach him for a year and a half.”Priest Qingxu made his request.
“No problem. I can teach him for a year and a half, but I don’t know if he can stay in this lonely heavenly mountain,” senior void said with a smile and agreed immediately.
“If he dares to run, I’ll break his legs, “Daoist priest pure void said with a cold snort.
Dao Ming curled his lips and immediately knelt down. “Senior, don’t worry. Dao Ming will definitely be patient and learn well from you.”
Senior Xu nodded in satisfaction and looked at Ye Sheng. “You entrusted second disciple to me. What about this?”
Daoist priest Qing xu said, “I want to ask for a pill furnace for this little disciple. He has been learning alchemy from me and has never had his own pill furnace. It just so happens that I remember that there is an ownerless pill furnace on Heaven Mountain. I hope senior can help.”
Senior Xu looked at Ye Sheng and said in surprise, “You want to ask for that ownerless pill furnace for him?”
Daoist priest Qingxu nodded.
“The pill furnace landed on the Sky Mountain and was discovered by the seven of us. I only have one-seventh of it. Of course, I can give it to him. However, the rest of it requires the consent of others. I can help him plead on his behalf, but I can not guarantee that those few people are too bad-tempered,” said senior Xu.
“It’s good that senior is willing to help. Let Ye Sheng handle the rest himself,”Daoist priest pure void said with a nod.
“Mm, you helped me back then, so I’ll return the favor today. It’s already very late. You guys should rest early. There are wooden houses nearby that I built when I was bored. You guys can stay here temporarily. Tomorrow, I’ll bring your disciple to meet the other old monsters,”senior Xu said with a wave of his hand, “Yes.”.
Daoist priest pure void immediately took ye Sheng and Dao Ming and left.
There were indeed many wooden houses nearby. Some were built on trees, some were built on the ground, and some were built on the edge of cliffs.
The terrain of the mountain was uneven, and strange rocks were jagged. These wooden houses were built in accordance with the natural scenery. They blended into the surroundings and were meticulously carved, displaying the meticulous thoughts of their owners.
Priest Qingxu brought Ye Sheng and Dao Ming to choose one room to live in.
“Master, you lied to me. Senior Xu is very kind, “Dao Ming said unhappily as he sat on the bed.
On the way here, he was frightened by his master. He thought that he would be miserable in the next year and a half. However, after seeing her today, senior Xu was not as terrifying as his master said.
Ye Sheng also felt the same way. Senior Xu’s temperament was very good. She was isolated from the world and independent. She was a woman who combined beauty and strength.
Daoist priest Qingxu said faintly, “If you’ve seen her fight, then you’ll understand what it means to be terrifying. To put it bluntly, don’t trust anyone who you’ve only met once. You Don’t know this person at all after meeting her once. How can you judge her character?”
Dao Ming was stunned and speechless.
“Master, is that pill furnace something very precious?”Ye Sheng changed the topic and asked.
“It’s very valuable. That Pill Furnace isn’t a complete version, and a large portion of it is missing. Two of its three legs were broken, and there are also cracks on the body of the furnace. It fell from the sky and fell to the peak of the Heavenly Mountain. It was discovered by the seven of them, and has been placed on the Heavenly Mountain ever since. No one has touched it. This is also the common wealth of the seven of them. When you see them tomorrow, act according to the circumstances. I believe that with senior Xu’s help, you will definitely be able to obtain it.”Daoist Priest Qingxu explained.
