Beauty helps me achieve immortality

Chapter 287 Ning: Soft rice is already prepared

Five days later.

Qianhuanzhou, outside Jueyun City.

The apricot yellow boat was floating in the air. Four men and three women stood on the edge of the boat, all gazing at the misty fairy city hidden in the clouds.

Beneath your feet are endless mountains, rivers, cities and counties, with occasional magical birds like rocs flying low in the sky.

The clouds and mists in front of me gathered and dispersed unsteadily, and extremely gorgeous flying boats with restrained spiritual energy were shuttling back and forth not far away. There were countless of them.

Looking up... the majestic and vast immortal city stands above the sky, as if a giant ten thousand feet tall has thrown a country into the sky.

The city was shrouded in clouds and mist, and vast spiritual energy gathered from all directions. At the end of the sky, the shadow of a building ship disappeared like dust and smoke.

Like a dream.

It is a city in the clouds that overlooks many countries!

Luo Xianning gazed into the distance and gradually slowed down her breathing. Her previously lively and unrestrained eyes were now trembling violently, as if her cognition was constantly being broken and reorganized.

Her aunt beside her was not in much better condition, staring blankly at the spirit boats flying by from time to time.

In Yongning Prefecture, many clans are scattered among the states, and no one has ever heard of or seen any vast fairy city beyond the mundane world.

Even the annual Jingzhe Feast at Blood God Peak only saw dozens of spirit boats gathering on the mountain...

But now, in just half an incense stick of time, there were hundreds and thousands of spirit boats flying past them!

Zhao Qing gently held his aunt's wrist and was speechless for a moment.

He also had the illusion of being a country bumpkin coming to the city... But they were better off than Luo Xianning. At least they had seen the holy land of Zhongzhou, while the latter was completely stunned.

Senior Sister Luo, the Changsheng Swordsman who usually enjoys the admiration of thousands of people, left Yongning Prefecture one day and suddenly discovered that the outside world was different from what she had imagined... in every way.

The gap is as big as that between a deserted village and a palace!

What is even more unacceptable is that——

Liu Zijing and Bai Wanqiu smiled at each other and whispered, "Even in Fengrao Qianhuan, the monks of Yujing still enjoy a supreme status."

"Let's go into Jueyun City and take a look."

Zhao Qing: ...

At this moment, he suddenly understood why Hong Ning had always reminded him to carefully choose the state to become his blood son.

In this land where Jindan is everywhere and foundation building is as bad as a dog, the superiority and privileges of Yujing disciples seem to be infinitely magnified...

Zhao Qing didn't hesitate and drove the spirit boat straight to the top of the clouds.

After all, everyone is here to help me. If I act like an inexperienced person, wouldn't it shake the morale of the troops?

Even though he really hadn't seen much of the world...

Soon, they arrived at Jueyun City.

This fairy city has no high walls or gates. All the buildings seem to be suspended in the air. The long streets are shrouded in clouds and mist. Most of the people you see are foundation-building monks.

The few young cultivators are all in the late stage of Qi training.

After all, only after building a foundation can one fly by controlling the wind. Otherwise, one can only rely on wind-controlling talismans to stir up the sky... If one's cultivation is too low, even climbing onto this cloud city will be a big problem.

Zhao Qing glanced around casually, trying to look as far as possible so that Qinghuan and Shuyue, who were watching the live broadcast at home, could also feel the outside world.

Not only is this trip very dangerous, but Qinghuan's mortal body still needs Shuyue's care, and there are also trivial matters of Siyou Sect involved, so they can only leave them at home and wait.

Walking on the flat and wide Cloud Street, all you can see are pavilions and buildings, and there is no space left for casual cultivators to set up stalls.

Occasionally, a handsome and extraordinary monk would fly by on his sword, and the hem of his clothes would be blown by the strong wind, making a rumbling sound.

Graceful women also walked together in groups of three or four, their long black hair swaying in the wind, their fragrance wafting through the air, and their every frown and smile making them incredibly beautiful.

I have to say it... big cities are great, the girls there are not only highly skilled, but also very good looking.

I heard my aunt's soft laughter.

"They are all pretty good. There is a Miaoxian Palace over there. Let you go there and live freely?"

cough.

Although Zhao Qing repeatedly emphasized that it was his father-in-law's idea to go to the Music Academy last time, and he also sincerely admitted his mistake.

But my aunt would still take it out and criticize him for no reason.

Kong Yang glanced around and whispered, "Want to go for a stroll?"

Zhao Qing just shook his head.

We are going out here to kill people, so don't wander around and fall into a trap halfway.

Bai Wanqiu smiled and said, "Xianning can stay and look around, then come find us at Tianxiang Garden."

Luo Xianning frowned slightly and withdrew her gaze from the strange and illusory spiritual patterns in the distance. She consciously passed by Zhao Qing and gently took Xiaoyi's arm... to show that she was not in a hurry to wander around.

……

Jueyun City, Tianxiang Garden.

This is a spacious garden located in the center of the city.

A unique fragrance permeates the air among the lush grass - quiet, clear and somewhat mysterious.

With just a sniff, you can feel the sweetness and tenderness of flowers, fruits and plants, but it is also mixed with the clear and majestic scent of amber and pine and cypress.

This is where Zhao Qing and his party stayed.

Bai Wanqiu only needed to show off her Tianxiang skills a little bit to lead them here without any obstacles.

This is just the Tianxiang Tower in the city.

But it is completely different from the Tianxiang Tower in Chu State. There are no female cultivators waiting in front of the counter, and there are no compartments with closed doors.

Most of the monks and nuns who come here in groups are familiar with the route and will directly find their favorite musician to play chess and drink tea with...

Three or five foundation-building monks surrounded a beautiful woman, and this kind of scene could be seen everywhere.

If Zhao Qing didn't know that the Tianxiang lineage's methods were of great benefit to spiritual practice, he would even suspect that he had entered the Jiaofangsi again.

But one has to admit that the women in Tianxiang Garden are indeed socialites.

Everyone has a bunch of Feiyangyang around them, vying to be their Taoist partners - and they are just ordinary zither players, not Tianxiang disciples.

Zhao Qing couldn't help but sigh.

Does Ningzi really still love me?

Si He laughed mockingly, "I think all the bootlickers in Zhongzhou are probably lining up here."

Qing: ...

Indeed.

The treatment of the female cultivator Tianxiang of Chu State was too poor. In the past, Hong Ning only had two idiots, Kong Yang and Shen Mo, around her, and Dan Gui never even looked at Qixiu.

But if Qixiu were thrown into Tianxiang Garden, there would be so many Taoist companions in the late stage of foundation building that it would be impossible to choose them all.

The only thing Zhao Qing can be thankful for now is...

Although Hong Ning ran away, her virginity remained. Otherwise, she might be so well-off now that she wouldn't even remember Zhao Qing Baqing.

At this moment, the seven of them were practicing in two rooms.

Fellow Daoist Han Yunhai, who was waiting for Kong Yang to contact him, went directly to Mingshang through the transmission array in the city after Zhao Qing finished exchanging resources.

It’s called spiritual practice, but in fact it’s just chatting and gossiping.

Zhao Qing and his aunt separated.

The four men sat together drinking boredly, while on the other side my aunt was with Luo Xianning and Bai Wanqiu.

Kong Yang didn't know if it was because he had too much contact with Brother Li recently, and he also developed a gossip habit.

He asked in confusion, "When did Junior Brother Zhao and Hong Ning become a Taoist couple?"

"When she left that year, I didn't even notice a single clue."

As soon as these words were spoken, the calm Shen Mo also raised his head, and Liu Zijing also looked at him with a puzzled look.

They couldn't help but be curious.

It has been several years since Hong Ning left the State of Chu, and during this period, no one has ever heard of her and Zhao Qing being in love.

As for before she left... everyone gathered in the Kutao Secret Realm, and there didn't seem to be anything particularly unusual about the two of them at that time.

Zhao Qing looked back at the three men's puzzled gazes, and felt a chill on his spine for a moment.

He spends all his time surrounded by women, so how could he withstand the test of the Arhat Bureau...

Hong Ning and I became a Taoist couple?

I do not know how?

It’s just the unrequited love of Little Green Tea!

To be honest, Zhao Qing sometimes feels grateful from the bottom of his heart for the simple values ​​of this world.

If you sleep with a slightly normal woman, she will never forget you. She will still remember you after a long time, and when she looks back... she will even be willing to help you and talk to you.

If this happened in my previous life, I would have blocked him the next day after sleeping with him all night...

"Hong Ning and I actually gradually developed feelings for each other over the years when we exchanged messages."

At this moment, Zhao Qing could only save the situation in this way.

It has come to this. If I deny our relationship as a couple, wouldn't that be putting the girl on the spot?

It would be fine to scold her at home, but now it’s in front of outsiders. If it gets to Hong Ning’s ears... it’s unbearable.

Zhao Qing smiled and sighed, "I thought Hong Ning was just joking. My words were a little blunt and explicit, but it got out of hand. We've been close friends for years."

Although he was evasive, he knew his own business clearly.

He got on the girl's car without buying her ticket, which was completely a case of riding without paying.

Hong Ning's attitude towards him was teasy, ambiguous yet a little distant... This was probably related to this.

Without much emotional foundation, maybe she doesn't know how to handle this relationship?

Si He's contemptuous laugh and scolding echoed in his mind: "Are you starting to brainwash yourself? What? Are you worried about your sister?"

Zhao Qing's mind was slightly moved, and he was a little surprised.

How the hell did I start brainwashing myself!

He thought about it for a while, analyzed it carefully, and came up with the answer.

I really feel a little guilty seeing how popular the Tianxiang female cultivators from Qianhuanzhou are.

If Hong Ning wanted to find a man in Zhongzhou, she could probably change one every day and never have a different one for the whole year.

But he still thinks about himself...

!! ?

As he was thinking, he suddenly realized that something was wrong.

Why should I come to Tianxiangyuan! ?

Zhao Qing frowned, looked at Kong Yang and asked, "Why did you choose Tianxiang Garden as the location for the exchange of skills? Was it that fellow Daoist Han's idea?"

Kong Yang looked at Zhao Qing's expression, somewhat confused.

He put down his wine glass and spoke slowly: "That's what Senior Sister Bai meant."

"Senior Sister Bai said she's been to Qianhuan before and is very familiar with Tianxiang Garden. After we trade here, it will be convenient for us to head directly to the Transmission Array."

Zhao Qing: ...

OK!

It turns out that Bai Wanqiu is the biggest undercover!

He silently took out Hong Ning's communication jade, intending to use the same trick against her. If his aunt was right... he would be able to see this little green tea girl soon.

·

Mingshangzhou, Liangchuan.

Above the vast ice dome covered with wind and snow, the huge dark green city sits like a ferocious beast, unchanged since ancient times.

Buildings of varying heights stood in the city, and everywhere you looked was covered in white snow...

The howling cold wind ravaged the woman's ink-black hair.

Hong Ning slowly closed the window, lowered her head and took out the communication jade to check.

[Zhao Qing: I happened to be staying in Jueyun City in Qianhuan Province. I saw a large number of Tianxiang female cultivators around me, and countless cultivators seeking companions. Are you also sought after by many men in Zhongzhou?]

Hearing these words, a barely perceptible smile appeared on the corner of her lips as she thought about her reply.

[Hong Ning: If I remain a virgin, I can find a companion with peace of mind.

But now, as a frail woman, how could she have the nerve to play around and quarrel with a man?

When the news came out, she immediately put away Zhao Qing's communication jade and took out another one.

Bai Wanqiu: Don't say Senior Sister won't help you. We've already arrived at Tianxiang Garden, and we'll probably be able to be transported to Mingshang tonight. So, prepare to deal with his wife in advance.

Hong Ning thought secretly, with ripples in her eyes.

[Hong Ning: Xiaoyi and I are old acquaintances, so I'm not afraid.]

At this moment, an ethereal laugh echoed from the warm and silent bedroom: "Are we almost there?"

"Well, I'll accompany you for a few days, and Sister Gu will continue to practice here."

"If you need help, I will inform you in advance."

Hong Ning chuckled and replied.

Behind her, a woman in snow-white clothes slowly approached.

She has a bright and charming appearance, with skin as white as cream and black hair.

However, the silver-green lotus pattern between Ruyan's dark eyebrows made one side of her face look a little more charming.

If Zhao Qing were here and saw the woman next to Hong Ning, he would definitely think of the old times.

It’s really this enchanting face…it’s so recognizable.

The eighth walk of Baiyu Tower!

Qingrao!

The little bone girl mentioned by Si He is the real White Bone Demon!

She glanced at Hong Ning and smiled faintly: "Why, did you call me here just to raid the battlefield?"

"Um……"

Hong Ning nodded gently, and with a cute gesture, she gently shook the woman's arm, pleading with a smile: "Just help my sister this time!"

"Humph!"

Qing Rao stretched out her slender fingers to lift the woman's delicate chin, carefully examining her face before her, and teasingly said, "Are you thinking of asking me to help you seduce a man?"

?

Hong Ning raised her eyebrows and said, "I can do it myself, man."

"I'm just worried that Liang Qing might have some hidden tricks up his sleeve. After all, he was once from the Nine Swords Holy Land."

She thought for a moment and then said, "I have to ask my sister to leave a piece of white jade inheritance for my young master to take back."

Qingrao looked at the pair of cunning eyes in front of her, and a playful smile gradually appeared on her face.

"Aren't you afraid that his wife will become successful in her cultivation and cause trouble for you again?"

The red lemon-scented tongue pursed her red lips, and her curved eyelashes fluttered: "Sister, you don't understand what men like..."

"Hmm? What do men like?"

The woman put away her smile and rolled her eyes lightly: "I don't know!"

Qingrao was silent for a moment.

The enchanting lotus mark on the face was slightly rippling.

She asked doubtfully, "Besides me and Zhao Qing, who else did you give the Willow Immortal's remains to?"

Hong Ning: "I practiced and refined it myself and used it."

"Really?" Qingrao expressed doubt.

"Otherwise, if I give him another inch, I can reshape Gu Qinghuan's Dantian. Why would I bother looking for my sister's white jade inheritance?"

"That lady is really unable to escape from Shouyun Mountain?"

Qingrao's expression shifted slightly as she recalled, "She had something shocking on her. Senior Sister didn't elaborate...she only said it was related to the Blood Robe Tower Master."

That's it.

Jian Shuiqiu's eyes flickered slightly, as if they contained countless thoughts...
