There is a progress bar in my cultivation of immortality

Chapter 232 Goodbye
  Dongxu Island.

Located in the southwest of Linshui Prefecture, it is an important transfer station on the waterway from the north of Zhongzhou to the central island. There are three major cities on the island, two of which are port cities. One city was built on Dongxu Mountain in the center of the island. It originally had no name. People gradually called it "Dongxu City", and the name Dongxu City came into being.

There is a monastery on Dongxu Mountain that is shrouded in clouds and mist all year round. People at the foot of the mountain can only see it emerging from the clouds and mist for a small amount of time each year, but there is no road leading to the mountain from the foot of the mountain.

In a luxurious palace on the mountain, hundreds of Qi practitioners shuttled through it, decorating the palace even more gorgeously. Two monks in the foundation-building stage removed the top cloud bed from the main hall and replaced it with a chessboard. To the left and right of the chessboard are four plain futons.

Deep in a palace surrounded by flowers on the top of a mountain, Xia Yao took off her gorgeous palace clothes and jewelry with the help of a maid, and put on a set of blue Taoist robes. The Taoist jade crown on her head bound her hair. , revealing her forehead and entire face, with long black hair hanging down to her heels behind her.

Behind her, a handsome young man looked at Xia Yao with a smile. The young man was wearing a jet-black costume with embroidery of a five-clawed golden dragon on the chest and collar.

He is the ninth son of Lord Long. He is called Jiang Cun. The name was chosen by Lord Long himself. It is very casual. His sons also inherited this casualness and named their children with great spontaneity.

He is not as ugly as Liu Chang. After his transformation, his facial features are almost the same as those of humans, except that his eyes are deep blue and there are some scales at the corners of his eyes. At the same time, there are a pair of gills on both sides of his neck for him to breathe underwater, and his hair is dark. It is red, very smooth, and very long. It is tied with a golden hair crown, which makes his whole person full of evil beauty.

"Ma'am, this dress looks really nice. Let's wear it like this from now on." Jiang Cun said with a smile on his face.

"Today I want to meet my friends on the path of spiritual practice. I wear this as a courtesy. Normally I am the Nine Lady of the Dragon Palace, so I wear palace clothes as a courtesy. Don't mess with the etiquette."

Xia Yao turned his head and frowned slightly when he saw Jiang Cun sitting there. Jiang Cun immediately sat up straight when he saw his wife frowning, then stood up and straightened his collar, and said with a smile: "It's not bad for me to do this today."

"Don't mess with the etiquette, do you understand?"

Jiang Cun heard this and nodded with a smile.

While the two were talking, a Kun Xiu in Taoist robes entered the room with a greeting card in his hand. He stood in front of the two-foot-high door and reported: "Your Majesty, Madam, Taoist Priest Changqing has arrived at the palace gate. Before, this is the greeting card he sent."

...

Directly east of Dongxu Mountain.

On the edge of a cliff, there is an ascending platform made of white jade stones. Directly north of the ascending platform is a palace gate ten feet high. There are more than a dozen Qi practitioners guarding the palace gate on both sides. The palace gate relies on the mountains on both sides and is connected with the mountain. The mountain has formed into one body, which looks majestic and feels natural.

“This place is so comfortable.”

Yu Lian got out of her sleeves, and Tengyun surrounded Wang Ping. The scales on her body spread out comfortably, feeling the water spirit in the air.

When Wang Ping heard this, he stretched out his hand and felt the water mist in the air that could be observed with the naked eye and the spiritual energy in the water mist. The large formation here should be very good, but he couldn't rise into the air for observation now, otherwise he would have to observe it.

At this time, a Kun cultivator walked out of the palace gate quickly. She stopped three feet away from Wang Ping and respectfully presented Xia Yao's reply.

After reading the reply, Wang Ping handed over another greeting card, and then walked into the palace gate under the leadership of two Kun Xiu.

After crossing the palace gate, the first thing you feel is the strong spiritual energy. At the same time, in the world of inspiration, you can't even find twisted spirits, which makes people feel happy.

However, if those who practice Taoism here have not experienced enough experience, they are likely to be contaminated by the world of mortals once they go out for a long time, and eventually give birth to inner demons.

After walking through a flat stone mountain road, Wang Ping saw a huge palace looming in the mountain mist.

As he got closer and closer to the palace, Wang Ping finally sensed the rays of the sun falling from the sky. The rays were very soft and gave people a warm feeling.

This place is truly a fairyland on earth, and most of the monks here are ignorant of the sufferings of the world. Their emotions are extremely stable, but there are prerequisites for such stability.

When he walked to the square in front of the palace, Wang Ping finally saw the specific appearance of the palace. It was built on the mountain and looked regular, with red bricks and blue tiles, and tall white jade steps in front.

Xia Yao and Jiang Cun stood at the end of the white jade steps. When Wang Ping and Xia Yao looked at each other, they both bowed at the same time. Then, a disciple next to Xia Yao walked down the steps with his head lowered.

This person should be Xia Yao's direct disciple. She had sent a letter to Wang Ping before. She walked up to Wang Ping, turned sideways, and said respectfully: "Taoist Changqing, please..."

Sometimes the Dragon Palace is very disciplined, and sometimes it is very casual.

up the steps.

Xia Yao spoke first: "I haven't seen you for a hundred years, but my Taoist friend remains the same."

"Just surviving." After Wang Ping answered modestly, he solemnly saluted Jiang Cun next to him, "I have met the Ninth Prince."

"You and I, fellow Taoist, can just call each other." Jiang Cun responded generously.

"Fellow Taoist Yulian." Xia Yao bowed his hand to Yulian again.

"Um... Fellow Daoist Xia Yao, you don't seem to have changed much." The 'not changed' in Yu Lian's mouth should refer to Xia Yao's position.

"I dare not change!"

After the tedious etiquette is over.

Wang Ping followed Xia Yao and Jiang Cun into the palace. The space in the palace was very large. People in it were like an ant in front of a giant, and they would naturally feel awe.

When he saw the chessboard at the end of the palace, Wang Ping was stunned for a moment because it was incompatible with this palace.

"Xia Yao is still the same as before, with rules and order, and her thoughts tend to be orderly." Yu Lian suddenly communicated with Wang Ping in the spiritual sea: "But she occasionally exudes a hint of extreme consciousness."

"Human beings are inherently contradictory. Don't you understand that you have observed so many people?" Wang Ping responded.

"It is."

By the end of their exchange, Xia Yao and his wife had led Wang Ping to the chessboard.

"Sit here, let's play a game first." Jiang Cun's tone lost the formality of speaking outside, and he casually pointed to the left side of the chessboard to invite Wang Ping.

After Wang Ping sat down, Jiang Cun immediately sat opposite him, and Xia Yao sat next to Jiang Cun.

In the first game, the three of them focused on the chessboard. In the end, Wang Ping lost twice. In the second game, it was a draw. By the third game, the atmosphere between the three of them was already very harmonious. As a guest, Wang Ping took the initiative to mention And the matter of his second senior brother.

"I want to know how the royal family plans to deal with the second senior brother's death."

Wang Ping asked tactfully.

Jiang Cun was still playing chess with a smile, and after landing a piece, he looked at Xia Yao.

"This matter is very complicated. Your second senior brother's matter is a double-edged sword. If used well, it can resolve the conflicts in the Shangjing area. If used poorly, it may shake the foundation of the incense."

Xia Yao did not avoid this topic, and her positive answer also verified Wang Ping's suspicion all along.
