Jing Xuan flew in the sky on his sword and secretly observed the immortals around him. They also flew in the sky, occasionally chasing eagles to increase their points.
He thought, "That's strange, I didn't see any traces of the phoenix in the past day. Is it not flying in the sky?"
The first day passed and Jing Xuan's harvest was bountiful. He caught more than ten eagles but did not even catch a single phoenix feather.
"It's here!" someone shouted from the forest below, "The phoenix has appeared!"
All the immortals in the sky dove down. Jing Xuan did not want to fall behind and rushed into the forest on his sword qi. He saw many immortals standing in the middle of the forest. In the center of the immortals was a huge red parasol tree with a phoenix perched on it.
It was almost dusk but the parasol tree was still bright. The phoenix was preening its feathers elegantly, ignoring the immortals below.
"Why does this phoenix look like a real phoenix?" The people from Yunxiao Pavilion stood nearby. Fu Yutang muttered, "Master's creation technique is not enough to create a real living being, right? Didn't Uncle-Master warn us? "
Things like creating living beings were not to be done casually before becoming a Heaven Immortal. The lesson of the past was still fresh in one's mind, so one had to be on guard. Qing Hong had warned Yuzhi Female Celestial after learning that she wanted to take this path.
Su Yu looked at the phoenix and laughed, "This phoenix is not a living being, it looks more like a projection of a True Artifact? Perhaps it's a transformation of a True Artifact related to the phoenix? "As she spoke, she opened her right hand," Yin Yang Dragon Whiskers ".
Streaks of Yin and Yang Qi formed a huge net to capture the phoenix. However, when the net enveloped the phoenix, it was immediately burned by the phoenix's True Fire.
Next, two immortals rushed up to capture the phoenix but were also forced back by the Celestial Light around the phoenix and were almost burned by the divine fire.
"The phoenix's aura is compatible with the parasol tree below it. Normal methods can't approach it, let alone capture it."
The immortals tried various methods and Jing Xuan also tried to cut the parasol tree with his sword. However, when a wound appeared on the tree, the phoenix's Celestial Light would heal the tree. When the phoenix was attacked, the parasol tree would automatically wave its branches to protect the phoenix. The two depended on each other, making it difficult to capture the phoenix.
"Excuse me, please excuse me!" Zhou Yaner and Li Jingxun each carried a jade basin and walked over. One was filled with sweet spring water, while the other was filled with bamboo seeds.
The two of them held the jade basin and attracted the phoenix's attention.
An immortal muttered, "Are they planning to make the phoenix come down on its own? But is that phoenix really that stupid? "
"Perhaps a real phoenix wouldn't, but if it's a pre-set procedure..." Su Yu thought about her Senior Uncle's temper and began to understand.
"He's coming down, he's coming down!" There was an uproar as the Fire Phoenix spread its wings and flew down from the Wutong tree, hovering near Li Jingxun and Zhou Yaner.
A few immortals nearby wanted to rush out and catch the phoenix, but they were held back by their companions. His companion secretly shook his head and said, "We can't. This is their plan. Let's not mess around."
There were many immortals present. Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, everyone saw that it was Li Jingxun and his companion who captured the phoenix. The others could continue after they failed, but directly snatching the fruits of their labor was too much. It would also cause the sect to lose face.
Seeing this scene, Qinghong smiled slightly. "This is the style of an immortal. If we fight over these bird points, we would lose face for no reason. "
If it was the demonic path, they would definitely not care about this. They would directly fight for the points, and whoever got it would get it.
At least immortals cared about status and righteousness. For people who worshipped order, it was better than the chaotic demonic path.
After the phoenix circled three times, it landed next to Li Jingxun and Zhou Yaner and turned into a phoenix feather.
"As expected, this is senior brother's temper. Phoenixes don't eat bamboo seeds, don't perch on Wutong trees, and don't drink wine unless it's spring water. Only when these three things are gathered can the phoenix be lured out. "Li Jingxun thought," Senior brother's OCD is becoming more and more obvious. "
After handing the phoenix feather to Zhou Yaner, Li Jingxun said to the immortals, "Fellow daoists, we caught three birds for three days. Catching birds for three days, three phoenixes, I think the second phoenix should be tomorrow, the two of us won't fight over it. We will withdraw from the fight now. "
"Ah?" The immortals looked at the phoenix feather in their hands and understood. Yes, they had already obtained a true artifact, what was the point of fighting?
In the Emerald Cloud Forest, the Grand Clear Sect Master praised, "What a junior who knows when to advance and when to retreat. At this time, not only did he benefit, he also dispelled the thoughts of others to snatch the phoenix feather, and even let the two of them stand undefeatable and get out of the fight. Old friend, you made the right choice in choosing this girl as your successor. "
Successor?
Qing Hong listened carefully, "Since when was Li Jingxun chosen as the successor of the master of Daode Buddhism?"
The master of Daode Buddhism looked at Qing Hong, smiled, and nodded, changing the topic, "Speaking of which, the first of the three phoenixes has already fallen into our hands."
"It's just the first one, there's no hurry." The immortals overseas were calm, waiting for the second phoenix the next day.
It was difficult to catch birds at night. Other than some diligent immortals, most immortals returned to their residences to rest. Of course, some people understood something from Li Jingxun's actions, and after a busy night, they set up a stall the next morning.
"Selling bird nets!" In the east of Eternal Light Island, an immortal took out a special bird net he made and began to sell it.
"Let's go and take a look! It's a dharma artifact specially used to catch sparrows and goshawks. Don't lose out, don't get tricked, and easily earn high points. "
After a while, the immortals nearby stopped, but no one approached the stall. About two hours later, an immortal in green walked over, "How much are you selling this thing?"
"The bird net for catching sparrows is priced at a high-grade dharma artifact, and the bird net for goshawks is priced at a treasure artifact."
The immortal in green was shocked, "So expensive!"
"Expensive? What's so expensive about it? Think about it, how many points do you get from catching ten goshawks? Isn't it easy to exchange a hundred points for a treasure artifact? That's enough to break even. If you're lucky enough to encounter a phoenix, that's a True Artifact! How about this, I have some bamboo here, why don't you buy a goshawk net, and I'll give you some bamboo to help you catch phoenixes? "
When the immortal heard this, he felt that it was reasonable. So he went up and sold a net.
With this person taking the lead, a few more immortals came over to buy bird nets. Soon, the bird net in his hand was swept clean.
"Fellow Daoist, do you have any more?" Two immortals in front of him caught goshawks with the bird net and hurried over to buy more.
The immortal shook his head, "No, I only prepared a few nets for one night." He understood the principle of rare things being valuable, so he didn't wantonly buy and sell. Instead, he only prepared twenty goshawk nets and a hundred sparrow nets, then stopped and packed up his stall, hiding in a corner to split the goods with the person who bought the bird net first.
"Brother Hong, well done!"
"Not at all, it was Brother Zhou's meticulous plan."
The two of them were opposing each other. First, it was Hong Qing who attracted attention, then the people who came over to buy things.
In the central hall, Qing Hong, Kuang Qu, and Bai Zheng led five new Ground Fairies to host the meeting. When Qing Hong saw the two immortals' small movements, he asked Kuang Qu, "Fellow Daoist, what are their names?"
"They are both Eastern Sea Itinerant Immortals who cultivate by refining artifacts. One of them is called Hong Qing, the other is called Zhou Yi. They are both quite good at doing business, this time they made a fortune again. "
"Oh." Qing Hong secretly remembered the two of them. These two were talents in business, he could let Levante try to rope them in and establish a branch of the Long Yuan Chamber of Commerce overseas.
Bai Zheng said unhappily, "But isn't this a bit against the rules?"
"Brother Bai, you're just too inflexible." Qing Hong raised his wine cup and said leisurely, "What is the essence of our cultivation? It's not fighting and killing, cultivating bitterly and torturing ourselves. Being free and unfettered, doing as one pleases, that's how people of our generation should be. Why do we immortals need to care about so many rules? As long as it doesn't go against our hearts, it doesn't disturb our Dao hearts. What I mean by bird catching is that after I catch the bird, I can earn points for myself or sell it to others for points. Otherwise, why would I go through so much trouble, even exchanging the most basic point for a pill? "
Kuang Qu smiled in agreement, "For this reason, I specially asked for the Eight Trigrams Heavenly Furnace and asked Fairy to refine a few batches of ordinary Qi Replenishing Pills."
"Don't worry, those things don't need much. One Qi Replenishing Pill can be exchanged for one point. Immortals can use two pills to exchange for sparrows in other people's hands. This way, more spirit birds and points will gather in the hands of high-level immortals. And low-level disciples can exchange with others to obtain greater benefits than just exchanging points. "
One of the Ground Fairies suddenly understood, "This way, we don't need to give out too many rewards. If those points are monopolized by the Human Immortals, we only need to pay a few Immortal Artifacts in the end. "
Qing Hong nodded, "That's right. This is the principle. The low-level disciples don't lose out, we don't have to work hard, and the high-level Human Immortals get the Immortal Artifacts they want. "
Bai Zheng, "In short, everyone benefits?"
"That's right. I didn't set so many rules, it was to let everyone display their abilities. In addition to using immortal spells and Daoist arts to catch birds, luck and wisdom can also be used. "
Bai Zheng pondered, and the two new Ground Fairies beside him secretly sighed in admiration, "No wonder he can become a Ground Fairies in a short hundred years. His vision and breadth of mind are indeed different from ordinary Immortals."
Immortals didn't fight fiercely, but dealt with everything with perfect wisdom. This was something that could only be understood after a long period of time. Without magic power and martial strength, they relied on their own wisdom to solve problems. On this point, Immortals who didn't die for a thousand years should have an advantage over mortals who only lived for a hundred years.
"Speaking of which, the Emperor still hasn't shown up this time. But if he really is hiding among us, Pavilion Master Qing Hong, be it in age or cultivation, fits the criteria of the Emperor the most. "
Seeing Qing Hong calmly catching birds outside the light pillar, the new Ground Fairies once again placed their suspicion on this aspect.
However, at this moment, Qing Hong was focusing all his attention on the Nine Heavens Black Gold Dragon Divine Tower. What calmness? It was only because his mind wasn't in this area. However, in the eyes of outsiders, he was calm and composed.
After putting away the Nine Ghosts Demon Mirror, Qing Hong hurriedly threw it into the Dragon God Pagoda and suppressed it with supreme Dao light. Then, he and the Marlboro Boy carefully examined it on the third floor.
The Nine Heavens Black Gold Dragon Divine Tower was a magical artifact passed down by the Dragon Emperor. It carried the heavenly might of the Dragon Emperor, and ordinary treasures couldn't resist it. The demonic seal in the Nine Ghosts Demon Mirror sensed the supreme Dragon Might, and other than curling up into a ball of black essence, it didn't dare to show itself.
The Tai Emperor's nascent divinity and the Marlboro Boy were fully armed, surrounding the Nine Ghosts Demon Mirror to analyze it. Ji Feichen took out the Great Mist Treasure Mirror and shone it continuously. The immortal light projected the Devil Mother's source onto the Great Mist Cave Truth Mirror, but he was unable to analyze the Devil Mother's source.
The Child of Thousand Treasures took off the Xi Ling goggles and the other analysis instruments on his head, "Master, this ball of origin she condensed is a bit similar to your Upper Yuan Eight Sceneries Dao Light. It's a high-level Daojun Radiance, right? "
"More or less. Anyway, it's very troublesome. Ordinary treasures can't analyze her essence. But if we can, it means we can kill her. Oh right, how much have you studied this mirror and the sealing method on it? "
"About thirty percent, I think?"
The hundred Ground Fairies used sealing spells on the mirror, and these spells had a strong personal style. Ji Feichen was very cunning, he planned to use this opportunity to decipher everyone's curse with Boy Million Bao, then while the immortals were in Eastern Sea, they would go to the various sects in Middle Earth to take a look. Especially the Yin Yang Dragon Spring in the Crimson Heaven Sect, which was a necessary item to cultivate the Life and Death Insight Mirror. It could destroy the Crimson Heaven Sect's grotto-heaven, and help Ge Xianweng settle his karma.
"Find the Ground Fairies's usual sealing methods, and whether we impersonate them or remove their restrictive spells, it'll be very beneficial to us."
The boy nodded, then asked hesitantly, "Master, are you really going to go ahead with that? Do you need to? Are you going to give up the identity of the Yunxiao Pavilion just like that? "
"There's no other way. I'm in the limelight, so I need to go from light to dark. As a great villain with ideals and ambitions, hiding one's claws and teeth and biding one's time is necessary. "
