Chapter 73 Liu Yong's Advice
On Weilu Mountain, since Mo Gu left, Ning Yan and Hongye, one man and one demon, looked for the Eight Scenery Palace, which is one of the three major Taoist sects in the world.
The Bajing Palace's residence is different from other sects. It is in a natural stone cave at a very high place above Beizhen. It is precisely because of this that Ning Yan just asked a little about Beizhen and got the approximate location of the Bajing Palace.
As the road to Bajing Palace was extremely steep because he was far away from Beizhen. Ning Yan wiped the sweat from his forehead, looked up at the peak surrounded by mist in the sky, and took a breath and said to Hongye beside him: "The vague mountaintop over there should be the base of Bajing Palace. I really don't know what the immortals in Bajing Palace thought, put the base in such a remote place."
Only the red leaves are around, Ning Yan also expressed his thoughts without hesitation.
Hongye just smiled and listened to Ning Yan's complaints. She advised: "Let's fix it first, the road ahead is even harder to walk. Wait until I adjust my breath for a while and take you over."
Ning Yan did not refuse Hongye's kindness. He knew that it would be impossible to reach the Bajing Palace's headquarters at his own speed without two or three days.
"Okay, take a break first, I will trouble you Hongye later." Ning Yan looked at the pretty Hongye, feeling moved. Although Hongye is a monster, he is really wholehearted towards him.
At this moment, Ning Yan suddenly felt a cold breath coming from his arms. The air conditioner directly touched his skin through the clothes inside. The cold feeling instantly stimulated his skin, making him shivering.
"hiss!--"
Taking a breath of cold air, Ning Yan hurriedly took out the water spirit bead in his arms. When his fingers touched the water spirit bead, a cold chill spread from his fingertips. Ning Yan accidentally dropped the water spirit bead to the ground.
"What's wrong with you?" Hongye quickly grabbed Ning Yan's palm, looked at Ning Yan's fingers that turned red by frostbite and asked nervously: "What's going on? Did the Water Spirit Pearl hurt you?" She looked at the Water Spirit Pearl rolling on the ground, and bent over to pick up the beads in confusion.
"careful!"
Ning Yan said nervously to remind him, but what surprised him was that there was nothing abnormal about the Water Spirit Pearl, and Hongye was not injured by the Water Spirit Pearl at all. This made Ning Yan frown and said to himself: "Is it because my cultivation is too low that I can't even control the Water Spirit Pearl?"
"Ning Yan, was the magic fluctuation in the Water Spirit Pearl just now that hurt you?" After carefully observing the Water Spirit Pearl in his hand for a moment, he found no stranger to Hongye asked curiously.
Ning Yan frowned and said uncertainly: "Maybe, why don't you let Hongye keep this water spirit bead first?" Feeling the frozen fingers, Ning Yan moved a little hard, and the numb touch came back from his fingers, which made his heart sink.
"We'd better hurry to the Eight Scenery Palace." The unusual movement of the Shui Lingzhu made Ning Yan dare not delay any longer.
Hongye nodded, carefully put away the water spirit beads, and a red ribbon flew out of her cuffs to wrap Ning Yan's waist and abdomen.
"Let's go!" Hongye jumped up and flew towards the low altitude of Bajing Palace with Ning Yan.
On the other side, Ji Tianfeng, who had just returned to the room, thanked him to his junior brother who helped him return to the room. He sat cross-legged on the cushion alone, frowned and took out the earth spirit beads that shone with light from his arms.
"What's going on with this bead?" Muttered, Ji Tianfeng fiddled with it for a while, and had no idea why the earth spirit bead suddenly shone. He had no choice but to put it away.
...
With the help of Hongye, Ning Yan quickly came to the gate of the Bajing Palace. This was a natural huge stone cave. There were two disciples of the Bajing Palace on duty at the entrance of the cave.
"Who are you?" Seeing Ning Yan and Hongye coming up from the bottom of the mountain, the disciple on duty asked.
Ning Yan hurried forward and bowed, "This Taoist priest, please inform Liu Yong and tell Liu Xianzheng that Ning Yan is here."
"Ning Yan!?" A hint of surprise flashed in the eyes of the on-duty disciple. He looked at Ning Yan up and down, and said in surprise: "You are Ning Yan? The one who got the Water Spirit Pearl?"
Ning Yan didn't expect that his name would be remembered by the disciples of the Eight Scenery Palace. He immediately said respectfully: "Yes, please report it."
The on-duty disciple glanced at Ning Yan deeply, and then said, "Wait first, I'll report it to Elder Liu now."
The on-duty disciple and his companions beside him whispered, and then quickly walked into the cave.
A huge palace group was established in the spacious space in the natural stone cave. The disciples on duty soon reported the news upwards layer by layer. Liu Yong, who was sitting cross-legged in the hall, closed his eyes to rest, looked stunned when he heard the news.
"What's this guy's idea?" Liu Yong frowned and muttered. In his opinion, Ning Yan would go to Mo Gu if he had something to look for, not him!
But since the other party came to the door, there was no need for Liu Yong to refuse. He ordered the disciple who came in to report: "Let them receive the two people at the door well, and I'll go there now."
The disciple took the order and left. Liu Yong in the hall narrowed his eyes and thought for a while before he got up and walked out of the hall.
Outside the hall, Liu Yong saw Ning Yan who was brought in by the on-duty disciples and the little demon beside him at a glance.
Liu Yong narrowed his eyes and smiled, "Little Friend Ning, you are a rare guest!"
Ning Yan bowed respectfully and said, "Liu Xian was joking. Ning Yan is just an ordinary person, so he can't be considered a rare guest."
Liu Yong disagreed. He looked at Ning Yan with a smile and said, "Your Ning is modest, holding a water spirit bead in his hand, and the support of the Qionghua Sected Boy Mo, I am afraid that no one will not give Ning Xiaoyou face."
Ning Yan's eyes flashed for a moment, and he said directly: "Liu Xianchang, I'm here to ask you for something this time."
"What's the matter?"
Ning Yan said: "I have been to the Taiyin Sect. The Yuxian Chief of the Taiyin Sect once instructed the boy that if you want to use the Water Spirit Pearl, you need a powerful cultivator with high and profound cultivation."
Liu Yong stroked his beard and twisted it, and said in confusion: "My friend Ning, I knew what you wanted to eliminate demons that night in the forest. However, although I can do it simply using spiritual energy to activate the water spirit bead, can you guarantee that when I activate the water spirit bead, I just hit the black one?"
Liu Yong threw the problem back.
Ning Yan pursed his lips and then said solemnly: "As long as the immortal chief can help me get rid of the black snake, I will hand it over to the immortal chief!"
A strange look flashed in Liu Yong's eyes. He looked at Ning Yan in surprise, then laughed loudly and refused, "My friend is joking, when did I say I want your water spirit bead?"
Ning Yan was stunned. He looked at Liu Yong who was laughing and his mind suddenly became blank. He thought of many possibilities while on the road. Combined with Liu Yong's performance in the forest, he firmly believed that he could ask Liu Yong for help by using the Water Spirit Pearl in exchange.
But now Liu Yong is not joking with him.
Under Ning Yan's puzzled eyes, Liu Yong smiled and explained, "That night, Mr. Liu was just curious. My Eight Scenery Palace is one of the three major Taoist sects. I don't have any treasures. How could I be greedy for a fake water spirit bead? Can you see that the two people from the Qionghua Sect are greedy for your spirit beads?"
“…you know everything?”
"Of course, I just didn't expect that Fellow Daoist Mo had such a bad temper." Liu Yong said of Mo Gu and shook his head bitterly.
Ning Yan opened his mouth, not knowing what to say for a moment. He glanced at Hongye, who had once again become a taciturn state, and his heart was full of powerlessness.
But Liu Yong did not refuse Ning Yan's request. He smiled and said, "Although I don't want your water spirit bead, I will still take action if I have the chance to get rid of the black snake." After that, he glanced at the red leaves beside Ning Yan, and said as if he was admonished and warned: "My friend Ning, pay attention to your identity and don't go astray!"
