Chapter 36 Canglang 9 Folds
Princess Wansheng immediately grabbed Ao Qing by the ear and gave him a 180-degree Thomas spin: "Oh, you haven't even gone to Wuzhuang Temple yet, and you already dare to use the title of Ancestor of Earthly Immortals to intimidate me?"
"Ouch...it hurts...it hurts...it hurts..." Ao Qing said in a pinched voice.
Lu Changgeng, who was submerged in the pool, heard a sound that gave him goosebumps. "Quick, someone take him to Chengdu!"
But then a thought struck him: Zhen Yuanzi?
That was the ancestor of the Earth Immortals of Wuzhuang Temple on Longevity Mountain, the owner of the Ginseng Fruit Tree, and of extremely high seniority in the Three Realms. Even Guanyin Bodhisattva had to give him some leeway.
How could Ao Qing become Zhen Yuanzi's disciple?
Even becoming a disciple requires a deep affinity with the immortals. The original text states that countless wandering immortals emerged from Zhenyuan Daxian's tutelage, and the remaining forty-eight disciples were all Quanzhen masters who had attained enlightenment, so they were at least immortals.
Lu Changgeng secretly sized up Ao Qing, but couldn't see anything special about him. He thought to himself that if this guy could become a disciple of Wuzhuang Temple, then he could too. However, he didn't want to be some kind of flute-playing boy. If he was going to be a disciple, he would be the chief disciple. He would find an opportunity to go to Wuzhuang Temple in the future.
Furthermore, judging from his earlier address of Princess Wansheng as "sister," he must be the son of the Old Dragon Wansheng. Well... let's just call him a son for now. I wonder if he'll end up on the list of dragon sons and grandsons killed by the monkey and pig-headed monster.
"If Zhenyuan Daxian knew you were wearing my clothes, he'd probably kick you out of Wuzhuang Temple first." Princess Wansheng crossed her arms and showed no mercy.
"You're mistaken. The Great Immortal teaches without discrimination; he wouldn't do that." Ao Qing chuckled, leaning closer and lowering his voice, "Sister, let's get down to business. Did you get that five-colored stone fragment from the Xie Zhi Cave this time?"
Princess Wansheng's expression stiffened slightly, and Lu Changgeng keenly noticed that her toes curled up.
"Where did you get the news about the five-colored stone fragments? You told me to go find them, but I haven't found them." Princess Wansheng narrowed her phoenix eyes.
"In the immortal's Taoist chamber there is a scroll titled 'The Compendium of Heavenly and Earthly Spiritual Creatures'..."
"Tell the truth!" Princess Wansheng immediately interrupted Ao Qing's casual nonsense.
As his sister, having lived together for over a thousand years, she knew exactly what kind of fart Ao Qing would let out when he bent over.
Ao Qing showed no embarrassment and smoothly changed his tune, saying, "It has nothing to do with that. I was helping out with the fire-starting boy in the kitchen, and I found a piece of paper that was used to start a fire. Somehow, it had some drawings on it of the places where the five-colored stone fragments left behind by the goddess Nuwa when she mended the sky were scattered. There's one on Qilin Mountain, which should be in the Xie Zhi Cave..."
"Wait, you said 'should'? You're not sure? And bring me that paper so I can see it." Princess Wansheng glared at her with her phoenix eyes.
Ao Qing shrank his neck, but unfortunately this posture was more suitable for a woman. Seeing it on his upright and burly body made Lu Changgeng want to call Didi to take his place.
"Sister~ I couldn't bring that paper out. It was burned to ashes long ago, but I remember it all. There is definitely some in the direction of Qilin Mountain, but I don't know if it's the Xie Zhi Cave. The paper is also incomplete, with only some kind of hole..."
Princess Wansheng stared intently at Ao Qing. Seeing that his expression was sincere and not fake, she snorted and summoned paper and pen from somewhere.
"Draw the contents of that paper exactly as it appears."
"I can draw it, sister... could you give me another one of your light red silk dresses?"
"Why don't you just use your magic to condense it?" Princess Wansheng's voice was cold.
"That's different. The magic power you're wearing looks too fake, it feels like you're not wearing anything at all. Besides, your skirt is made of deep-sea ice silkworm silk and luminous shell silk, and it's also inlaid with pearls and shells. It's not comparable to a fake."
"Alright, if your drawing is accurate, I'll give you one once I find a fragment of the five-colored stone."
"No, if I draw it, you have to give it to me, otherwise I won't draw it." Ao Qing refused to budge.
Princess Wansheng spoke harshly, but she couldn't really do anything about it, so she had no choice but to agree to his request for the time being.
A moment later, Ao Qing finished the drawing.
Princess Wansheng stared at the paper for a long time without speaking, then glared at Ao Qing with her phoenix eyes: "Just the location of two fragments? One of them is from Qilin Mountain, and you call that 'some'?"
"There are a few others I can't remember... I'm afraid I'll draw them wrong and make you come all this way for nothing." Ao Qing scratched her head and chuckled. "I'll tell you when I remember."
"You... you're quite something. Now that you've entered the Wuzhuang Temple, you really don't respect me, your older sister." Princess Wansheng put away the papers, her words laced with sarcasm.
Ao Qing shook her sleeve: "Sister, the other places are really dangerous. I know you are brave and like to hunt for treasure, but those places are really not safe to go to. I will take you there myself when I have completed my studies and come back."
"Oh?" Princess Wansheng raised an eyebrow. "You're being so kind? Fine, I'll go check out another place up there."
Seeing that his sister was no longer pursuing the matter, Ao Qing changed the subject and chatted about other things.
He said that if he went to Wuzhuang Temple, he didn't know when he would be able to return.
Princess Wansheng initially expressed her disdain, but softened somewhat by the end, saying, "Cultivate diligently and don't embarrass your father."
Ao Qing's eyes were slightly red. He nodded vigorously and then got up to take his leave.
The stone door closed again, and Princess Wansheng was left alone in the stone chamber once more.
She sat by the pool in a daze for a while before taking off her skirt again, submerging her entire body in the water, leaving only half her face above the surface, and exhaling a string of muffled bubbles.
Lu Changgeng did not leave in a hurry; he stayed in Princess Wansheng's bath for several more days.
Every day when Princess Wansheng took a bath, he would secretly collect magical power and feed it back to the magical techniques and secret methods on Princess Wansheng's body.
Princess Wansheng cultivates the "Azure Waves Technique," which has nine levels, and she has already reached the fifth level.
This technique is similar to the "Celestial Immortal Technique," but it is more suitable for spirits and monsters that cultivate in water.
The most exquisite of these is a divine power called "Nine Layers of Azure Waves," a unique water-based escape technique that stacks water forces nine times, doubling the speed with each layer. When mastered to its extreme, it can transform into a turquoise torrent, covering hundreds of miles in an instant.
Lu Changgeng was overjoyed to obtain this technique. He was already considered to be of good spirit, so practicing this technique was effortless for him. In addition, he was able to gain the experience of Princess Wansheng in cultivating it.
It can be said that he now understands this supernatural power better than Princess Wansheng.
After a few days, he had thoroughly figured out her background and capabilities.
He was still reluctant to leave. Firstly, the daily mana replenishment from a Transformation Realm cultivator was far more effective than that from Teng San Niang, and he would soon reach the mid-Transformation Realm, just like Princess Wan Sheng, who had only just reached the mid-Transformation Realm. Secondly, he wanted to go to the bottom of the pool to see the Xuanming Canglan Spear.
However, he wasn't so reckless as to go looking for the spear himself; who knew what guards or traps awaited him?
Several days later, the opportunity finally arrived!
