Chapter 241: Still Can't Die
Xia Buyan put down his wine glass and said, "The competition hasn't started yet. They came early. You don't need to apologize."
Others echoed, "Yes, we are early. The competition will not start for another quarter of an hour."
It’s just that when there is a big event, the people from the Immortal Sect are used to arriving early.
Even if he was late, no one would complain because of Yu Jiaqing's hard work.
Yu Zheng drank a sip of tea, took out several jade slips from the spirit ring, and handed them to the Yu family disciple behind him. The Yu family disciple stood up and delivered the jade slips to the head of the hundred families.
"Since the competition has not yet begun, I will take this opportunity to talk about other things."
"Five years ago, when I returned home from Nanzhou, I looked up ancient books and examined the clan histories sent by hundreds of families, and rewrote the History of the Falling Stars. This is the final edition."
"Thanks for your hard work."
"As I should." Yu Zheng smiled faintly, and then said: "I will only lead my disciples in this Fengyun competition, and will not participate in the competition."
The others looked at each other in confusion.
"Then you just watch." Xia Buyan glanced at her, then turned to look at the fourth elder Xia Wenhui next to him, "Re-draft the list."
"Yes."
Xi Qiegui looked back and said, "Disciple, you have one less opponent."
Xu Wushi's eyes fell on Yu Zheng, who was at ease among the group of powerful people. She had a calm look, and her conversation and laughter showed the demeanor of a noble family.
Xia Buyan propped up his head and listened to their questions out of boredom. When it was almost time, he said, "Let's get started."
On the huge arena in the middle of Liuyuntai, the competition began according to the planned order.
Xu Wushi would not compete until the second day, and he was just a spectator on the first day.
It was somewhat boring after reading it for too long. It happened that the jade slip that Yu Zheng had someone send over was passed to Xu Wushi, so he injected his spiritual consciousness into it and started reading it.
The record is detailed and objective, fair, solemn yet lively, and I think a lot of effort was put into it.
The history of the immortals was compiled by her, who is only 23 years old now. What she has read and known is profound.
The setting sun shone on the clouds, and several colors appeared one after another. The first day of competition was over. Xi Qiegui left a message saying that he was going to find someone to drink with, and let Xu Wushi go back by himself.
Lin Tianya's second disciple Yuan Xiuyi came over and said, "Junior Brother Xu Wu, it's rare for you to come to Wanguitai, how about we go for a walk together?"
"Yeah." Xu Wushi nodded and walked side by side with him.
Between the pavilions and the green peaks, the light of the Fusang tree floats in the mountain mist, reflecting a thousand layers of beauty.
Yuan Xiuyi twirled the jade flute in his hand, looked around, and couldn't help but sigh: "This is my second visit to Wanguitai, but I'm still shocked by the generosity of the Xia family."
He lowered his voice and whispered in Xu Wushi's ear: "Compared with Wangguitai, our sect lacks a bit of nobility, and compared with Yunwaitian, it lacks a bit of immortality."
Xu Wushi responded: "The sunset at Luoyao Mountain is stunning, each has its own merits."
He had never been to Yunwaitian and this was his first time at Wangguitai.
Cranes were circling in the clouds as the two strolled around casually. A striking red and a clear lake blue could be vaguely seen in front of them.
"Uncle Xia, when will you ascend?"
Xia Buyan leaned against the dark red pavilion pillar without any image, playing with a blue sword tassel in his hand, "After the Fengyun competition, hand over the position of the head of the family to your second uncle Xia, and I will ascend to heaven."
"I broke my promise and said I would bring her to the Yu family to find you. I never thought I would never see her again."
"Seeing each other vaguely in a dream is also considered meeting each other." Yu Zheng felt regretful.
"Let's not talk about that. Are you feeling better?"
"Same old, can't die."
"Is this also the reason why you are not participating in the competition?"
"Well, using too much spiritual energy will trigger it, and I don't want to suffer." Yu Zheng chewed a spiritual fruit and leaned back in his chair. "Another reason why I am leading the team this time is to find Li Zun and remove the nine-fold lock seal that he set for me that year."
"Why?"
"I accidentally reversed the seal. Five layers of the seal have fallen off, and the other four layers are in danger. It's useless to keep them, and they will limit my spiritual power."
"But it's not something I can untie by myself now. The person who tied the bell must be the one to untie it." Yu Zheng tilted her head and her eyes fell on Xu Wushi and Yuan Xiuyi who were coming over.
Because of the isolation formation, they couldn't hear her conversation with Xia Buyan, they could only see the picture.
When their eyes met, Xu Wushi first looked away, lowered his eyes slightly, and bowed in the direction of Xia Buyan with Yuan Xiuyi before turning and leaving.
"Shengsheng, the person has left." Xia Buyan saw her staring at the person's back and called her.
"I heard that fellow Daoist Xu Wu had reached the Golden Elixir stage at the age of ten and had great talent. I would like to compete with him, but unfortunately my body limits me." Yu Zheng retracted his gaze and turned around.
It looks good.
Although the Yu family was newly born, they knew all the news they needed to know.
She hasn't been promoted for three years. If she wants to be promoted, she has to get rid of the poison in her body.
"Then let Xing Yuan unseal you now."
"I haven't visited him yet."
"I am here to pass on a spiritual message. No need to pay a visit."
"Uncle Xia, it seems that you and Li Zun have a good relationship, not as bad as what is said outside." Yu Zheng laughed.
"What's good about that? We just don't like each other."
Wanjiezhu turned around and took a look, thinking that Xia Buyan was truly a winner in life, and his seniority suddenly became higher.
Xu Wushi returned to the courtyard. Xi Qiegui and Chi Xi had not returned yet. He held the Wanjie Pearl floating beside him and asked, "What is the mission?"
"In the Yu Family Trial, the target of the mission was to protect the Yu Family disciples. He was poisoned by the ancient strange poison. He searched all over the stars for fifteen years, but there was no antidote."
"She was twenty-five years old, the poison erupted, and she encountered a peak demon beast, and she died."
"So, your mission is to detoxify her. Once you're done, you can retire."
"The way to detoxify is to find the Pure Fluorescent Flower and refine it into a pill for her to take."
"As for the Pure Fluorescent Flower, it is in the Wanli Thousand Machine Formation." The Wanjie Pearl floated, "The Wanli Thousand Machine Formation was closed only a few years ago. If you open it, it will be very difficult and may even cause a war between the human and demon races."
The Pearl of All Worlds has elixirs, but it cannot ignore the laws of heaven and earth in this world. The medicine for detoxifying the target of the mission can only be obtained from this world.
"Host, there are still two years."
Xu Wushi lowered his eyes, thinking about how to deal with it.
The Pearl of All Worlds stared at him. The dog host, well, the host’s soul was becoming stronger and stronger because of cultivation.
Or to put it another way, there seemed to be a seal on his soul, which was now being peeled off bit by bit, revealing the original power of his soul. This power of his soul made Wanjiezhu even more certain that he was the honored deity in Qinglan Palace.
The aura of the divine world that was revealed from time to time was a little too much for it to bear.
Damn it for being so stupid that it actually cursed its dog host, one of the three supreme gods who ruled over the universe, in its heart.
The next morning, Xu Wushi went to Liuyuntai with his disciples from Luoyao Mountain.
On the way, Yu Zheng and the Yu family disciples came towards them.
The disciples greeted each other.
"Fellow Daoist Xu Wu."
"Fellow Daoist Yu."
Their eyes met, and Xu Wushi looked away again to make way for her, "Please."
"Thank you." Yu Zheng's eyes swept over him, and she walked in front, the corner of her clothes slightly lifted, and the cold fragrance gradually faded away.
"Young Master, the one I'm facing today is Liu Qingwu from the Liu family of Beizhou." A female cultivator followed behind her.
"Follow the way I told you to play, and you will definitely win."
Yuan Xiuyi looked at Xu Wushi and said, "We have encountered the young master of the Yu family quite a few times."
