Zhang Yan didn't have the mood to interfere in the battle of the Yuhuan Heavens. After looking at the things in front of him, he walked out of the hall.
Daoist Dou was waiting outside. When he saw him come out, he took out a talisman book with both hands and passed it over, saying, "Zhang Shangzhen, Just Now, there is a letter from the palace. It is for Shangzhen."
Zhang Yan took it and took a look. He saw that it was from Elder Peng, inviting him to the cave abode to have a seat.
He was originally prepared to pay a visit after he succeeded in his cultivation. However, since he sent a letter, he couldn't not give him face. Moreover, this time he wasn't in the Cloud Continent, so he could avoid a lot of trouble.
He kept the letter and said, "Thank you, Daoist Dou."
Daoist Dou smiled, "Shangzhen, you don't have to be so polite. These things are within I's responsibility."
Zhang Yan returned to the Dharma Boat and activated it slightly. Then, he soared into the sky like a streak of black light. Following the guidance of the talisman book, half a day later, he arrived in front of a huge mountain floating in the sky. There was a river flowing around the mountain, and a waterfall fell from the sky, splashing countless silver pearls.
The layout of this place was different. The entrance to the cave abode was on the top of the mountain, and there was a pavilion on top, looking like a well. Elder Peng was standing in front of the pavilion, waiting. When he saw the Spell Boat come over, he smiled and bowed from afar, saying loudly, "Daoist Zhang, please come over."
Zhang Yan got off the Spell Boat and bowed, saying, "Greetings, Elder Peng."
Elder Peng laughed and said, "Fellow Daoist, you don't have to be so courteous when you come to my place." He turned around and gestured for him to enter. "Come, let's talk inside."
Zhang Yan nodded slightly and followed him into the cave. With the help of a torrent of water, they descended into a cave. This place was covered with fluorescent stones, and there were glass lamps hanging along the way. It was clean and clear, wiping away the dust in one's heart.
Peng Zhanglao invited him to sit beside a pond. Not long after, they heard the sound of something moving. They saw a spirit turtle emerge from the water. On its back were two lotus jade cups. A dense icy mist seeped out from the pores on the cups' lids. Under the illumination of the lantern, it glowed with streams of light and vibrant colors.
Elder Peng flicked his finger and opened the lid of the cup. He saw that it was filled to the brim with amber dew. Before it was opened, it was obviously cold, but now it was warm. Not long after, an exuberant life force filled the cave.
He reached out and picked up one, smiling, "Zhang Shangzhen, this wine is called Sun Moon Clear Wave. It is a secret recipe of my True Yang Palace. It was used to treat Xun Yue. Although it is not as good as the original, it has been brewed for 5,000 years, and there are dozens of cups. I can use to treat for you, so please."
As he spoke, he saluted from afar.
Zhang Yan shook his sleeves and picked up a cup. He saluted and drank it in one gulp. As soon as the wine entered his stomach, a warm current rippled through his body. His Primordial Qi and Qi slowly filled up. This was completely different from the Longevity Ganoderma Tea that he drank previously. It seemed that it was not an exaggeration to say that it was a secret recipe of Green Jade Palace. He praised, "It is indeed a good wine."
Elder Peng saw that he was fine and could not help but be shocked. This wine had the effect of strengthening one's Primordial Qi. The stronger the foundation, the more benefits. However, because the medicinal effect was too strong, it was no different from a fierce poison to those who did not have enough mana. Even if it was him, he would need to use his sect's method to refine it after drinking it. However, Zhang Yan did not have such a method. He completely relied on his Dharmakaya to contain the medicinal effect. He did not even need to regulate his breath. It was enough to show that his Primordial Qi was abundant.
Elder Peng invited Zhang Yan here today. Firstly, it was to express his gratitude. Secondly, he had a certain purpose. Now that he saw Zhang Yan, he was even more determined. Putting down the wine cup in his hand, he raised his head and said, "Fellow Daoist, you have been in the Yuhuan Heavens for some time. Do you have any opinion on the current situation?"
Zhang Yan smiled and said, "I am not from the Yuhuan Heavens. I know very little about this. Elder Peng, I'm afraid you have asked the wrong person."
Elder Peng shook his head and said meaningfully, "Fellow Daoist, you are wrong. From the moment you arrived here, you have already stepped into the mud. Moreover, there are some things that cannot be avoided no matter where you go."
Seeing that Zhang Yan's expression was calm and unmoved, he said, "Speaking of which, I only learned of your background after we parted. According to what I know, you are here to find the Divine Item passed down by the Great Underworld Patriarch. Although the Xuanhong Heavens is not the top in the Yuhuan Heavens, if you are alone, I'm afraid it will be difficult for you to achieve your goal in a short period of time."
Zhang Yan smiled, "Since Elder Peng has said that, does that mean you are willing to lend a hand?"
Elder Peng looked at him and said, "Why not? It is better for Fellow Daoist Zhang to obtain the Divine Item than for it to fall into the hands of the Luo Mountain Monastery. "
Zhang Yan's eyes flickered. Although he had helped Elder Peng once, he did not think that the latter would be grateful to him. It seemed that there was another reason for him to invite him here. Now, it seemed that the other party had taken a fancy to his identity as the person fated with the Divine Item and wanted to make use of it.
On the surface, Elder Peng's plan did not seem to conflict with his.
His current plan was to go to the Xuanhong Heavens after he had cultivated enough mana to fight against the Heavenly Lord. Then, he would propose to worship the Patriarch and claim the inheritance to gain a righteous status. If Luo Mountain Monastery gave in, he could let it go. If they were unwilling, he would fight and demand the item back.
However, once the Mount Luo Monastery's skin was exposed, there would be no way out. Although he was not afraid to fight them alone, in reality, if he could rope in enough people from the Green Jade Palace to help him, he might be able to force them to submit even if he did not have to fight them.
However, he had to consider whether this was Green Jade Palace's intention or Elder Peng's own. There was a big difference between the two. If he was not careful, he could easily backfire.
Elder Peng said, "I know that after the previous incident, Fellow Daoist seems to have some misunderstandings about Green Jade Palace. I won't deny that there are indeed some differences in the palace, but it will be resolved soon." He raised his wine cup and toasted again. "There's still a long time, Fellow Daoist, you don't have to rush to make a decision."
Zhang Yan nodded slightly. He also raised his cup and drank it.
After that, the two of them did not talk about the matter anymore. They only talked about Dao and people from all sides.
As an elder of the Green Jade Palace, Elder Peng's knowledge and experience were much broader than the cultivators he had come into contact with before. Moreover, he had some understanding of the Sky Lords of the various worlds, and he had even evaluated the unique characteristics of their cultivation techniques. This was not something an ordinary person could know.
In the past, Zhang Yan could only rely on his own speculation about the situation in the Heavens. However, after listening to Elder Peng's words, it was as if a layer of fog had been wiped away. His vision became much clearer. He felt that this trip was not in vain and he had gained a lot.
After talking for half a day, the sun, moon, and clear waves were finally finished.
Elder Peng gave an order and a child came over with a jade plate. He said, "This is what we agreed on last time. Fellow Daoist, you can take it with you."
Zhang Yan took a look and knew that it was the Longevity Ganoderma Tea and Bright Rouge Ointment. Elder Peng was obviously a man of his word. Apart from these two items, there were also two golden pages with planting and cultivation methods. He nodded slightly and opened his sleeve to keep the items. Then, he stood up and bowed. "I have troubled you for a long time. I shall take my leave now."
Elder Peng also stood up and said, "Let me see you off."
The two of them walked out of the cave abode and arrived at the pavilion. Zhang Yan stopped and said, "Elder Peng, please stay."
Elder Peng laughed out loud and said, "Then, I shall say goodbye to you here. Before I leave, I will give you one last thing. Green Jade Palace is still Green Jade Palace. No matter how big the waves are, they won't be able to overturn the heavens. I hope that you won't make a mistake when the time comes."
Zhang Yan smiled faintly. He understood the meaning behind it. In order to deal with the actions of some Heavenly Lords, Green Jade Palace or Elder Peng might make a move. This was why he was reminding him not to stand beside those people. However, even without these words, he wouldn't get involved. He bowed and waved his sleeves. He stepped into a streak of light and instantly returned to the Spell Boat.
Elder Peng stood on the peak and looked at the Sky Scraping Spell Boat leave. He thought for a long time before returning to the cave abode.
At this moment, someone came over. It was the deacon Daoist that Zhang Yan had met in the Cloud Continent. This person said, "Elder seems to have high hopes for Zhang Shang Zhen?"
Elder Peng said like it was a matter of course, "Not to mention his cultivation techniques and abilities, just his background alone is enough for me to befriend him."
To him, since the Great Underworld Ancestor let Zhang Yan come here, then he should have made some arrangements. Moreover, although Zhang Yan was alone, who knew what kind of power the sect behind him was? He could only befriend such a person and not offend him. Just like when Xun Yue came here, he was a guest of Green Jade Palace. It was the same logic.
The deacon Daoist said, "Elder, do you think that Zhang Shang Zhen can successfully get the God Item?"
Elder Peng Daoren said, "There are many variables in this matter. It is hard for me to predict whether or not he can get it. However, I know that he isn't a disciple of the Great Underworld Ancestor. If he reaches out to take it, he is just asking to die."
The deacon Daoist sighed, "Elder is right. However, many people in the world are blinded by greed. Not only outsiders, but even some people from the same sect are the same."
Elder Peng turned his head and said, "What do you mean?"
The deacon Daoist bowed and said, "I Just Came from the palace now and heard something. It is said that the elders are discussing something. They said that there have been frequent movements in the heavens recently. Although it is still tolerable, it needs to be suppressed."
Elder Peng said disdainfully, "Isn't this the result of their actions? What are they going to do?"
The deacon Daoist said, "I heard that they are going to release Tang Shang Zhen and let her suppress them."
Elder Peng frowned and said, "Senior Sister Tang?" Then, his expression changed slightly and he said in a low voice, "I remember that her son with Ju Yu was killed by Fellow Daoist Zhang?"
The deacon Daoist said, "Yes."
Elder Peng's thoughts changed and he immediately understood the intentions behind this. He sneered repeatedly and said, "So this is what they've been plotting behind the scenes. However, some people even plot against their own sect. They really don't even care about their face." He thought for a moment and instructed, "Tell Guan Longzhao to think of a way to inform Fellow Daoist Zhang. Remind him to be careful and take precautions.
The deacon Daoist bowed and said, "I will arrange it."
