Li Qingshan couldn't help but look at the only "mount" here. If he could ride with her, it would be very good.
The nine-colored deer was furious. It shook its head as if it wanted to use its horn to attack him. "Don't even think about it!"
Li Qingshan originally didn't really want to ride her, but after hearing this, he actually wanted to. But of course, it was impossible now. In any case, the other party's realm was much higher than his. If they really fought, he might not be her opponent. Moreover, "riding a deer depends on its master".
Ruan Yaozhu smiled. "I'll lead the way. I'll fly you there. It's faster than taking a boat."
"Thank you very much!" Li Qingshan clasped his hands and smiled. "I also had a mount, but I came out in a hurry and didn't bring it."
The nine-colored deer raised its head. "What kind of beast is it?"
Li Qingshan smiled. "It's not a beast, it's a bird, a phoenix."
The nine-colored deer was stunned for a moment, then laughed without caring about her image. If she was in human form, she might be rolling around with laughter. "Phoenix, hahaha, you brat, you really know how to brag!"
As the king of birds, the phoenix's bloodline was naturally more sacred and noble than the nine-colored deer's. However, this kind of bird had always been known for its noble temperament. Even immortals might not be able to subdue it as a mount. Let alone such a small Nascent Soul cultivator, and a stinky man at that!
Li Qingshan smiled and sighed. "I originally had a cow, but unfortunately, I lost it."
Ruan Yaozhu suddenly noticed that when he said this, although there was a smile on his face, his eyes were a bit strange. It was as if he was sighing and full of hope.
At this time, the big boat had already set sail. She said, "Let's go too!"
The nine-colored deer lightly leaped into the air and said sarcastically, "Li Qingshan, I hope I can see your phoenix mount soon. Let me see which phoenix is so blind."
Li Qingshan followed closely behind and smiled. "There will be a chance in the future."
"Achoo!" In a corner of the Three Thousand Worlds, a blind phoenix sneezed again.
Flying over the boundless sea, the curtain of night shrouded the land. The stars were bright, the moon was like a hook, and the clouds were pure white and translucent.
Li Qingshan wanted to ask Ruan Yaozhu about the situation of the Wan Xiang Sect, but he found that he couldn't get a word in. Ruan Yaozhu criticized him for gambling with Le Tian, and split the topic into two clues: "Le Tian" and "gambling." First, she talked about the various dangers of gambling, and gave a series of clear and profound examples. Then, she talked about Le Tian's reputation in the Wan Xiang Sect, and how good he was at gambling. In the end, he combined the two topics and once again told him that he shouldn't gamble, let alone gamble with Le Tian.
The entire process was well-reasoned and filled with clear examples. She spoke tirelessly and sincerely. Probably even seasoned gamblers would realize their mistakes and turn over a new leaf if they heard this. Only then did Li Qingshan discover that she was actually so talkative despite her quietness and dullness. He studied her face with interest.
"Are you listening or not?" Ruan Yaozhu said angrily. Clearly, not only was she not dull, she had a sharp mind.
Li Qingshan hurriedly said, "Of course I'm listening. Do you want me to recite it?"
"There's no need," Ruan Yaozhu said in a bad mood.
"Don't be angry. Gambling has many disadvantages. Although gambling has many disadvantages, didn't you also win a bet this time? Furthermore, you got something without risking anything! "
Ruan Yaozhu didn't hide the fact that Le Tian and the others gambled. She didn't even hide the fact that she won a lot of green jade lots in the end. She wanted to use this to incite Li Qingshan's hatred for gambling. However, Li Qingshan was grateful for her trust and sincerity, so he wasn't angry about being used as a gambling tool. In the end, he helped her win a round. Otherwise, wouldn't that fellow Le Tian be proud of himself?
Ruan Yaozhu said seriously, "The outcome of gambling doesn't lie in the outcome of a single round. Rather, if you win, you will continue to gamble until you lose everything you've won in the past. The path of cultivation lies in accumulation. This kind of thinking of taking shortcuts is already close to the evil path, and it will ultimately affect your entire cultivation. "
"What you said makes sense." Li Qingshan couldn't help but admire her insight. "However, in life, there will always be times when you have no choice but to gamble. If you don't gamble, you won't be able to advance. Not to mention losing everything you've won, even if you lose your life, you won't hesitate. You were once a noble princess who was doted on by countless people. You also entered a large sect like the Myriad Appearance Sect, and you even survived five heavenly tribulations in such a short period of time to become a true disciple. Not everyone in this world has your luck and talent. "
Ruan Yaozhu was silent for a moment, then sighed. "You're right. I'm luckier than most people. I don't know what you've experienced in the past, but you've already reached this step. You're about to join the Myriad Appearance Sect as a formal disciple, and you have a high chance of becoming a true disciple. Why can't you relax and gamble?"
However, Li Qingshan smiled. "If you knew how I got to this step, you wouldn't have advised me to relax. However, you're right about one thing. Once gambling starts, it can't be stopped. If you can't win in the end, then lose everything! "
Ruan Yaozhu pitifully said, "Don't you feel that living like this is hard?"
Li Qingshan said, "Although it's hard, it's also interesting."
Ruan Yaozhu blinked, wanting to say something but hesitating. In the end, she still said, "You're a good person. I hope you can win in the end."
Li Qingshan said, "I'll be counting on your auspicious words."
"We're almost at the Myriad Appearance Sect."
The nine-colored deer flew through the sea of clouds, and Li Qingshan followed it down. Suddenly, his eyes lit up. On the distant sea surface, there was a bright ball of fire burning, illuminating the dark clouds that shrouded the night like a mirage.
As they approached the ball of fire, the nine-colored deer lowered its altitude. It was almost like it was galloping on the surface of the sea, stepping on the waves to advance, quickly skimming over the sea surface.
Li Qingshan gradually saw the true appearance of the ball of fire, but he was a little doubtful of his eyes. This was because it wasn't an ethereal and quiet celestial mountain or spiritual island like he had imagined, but a glorious metropolis.
Buildings rose from the ground one after another, but they were also full of carved beams and painted rafters, with arched eaves and corners. Everywhere, there were gardens, flowers, and trees, like a classical garden that had changed from a flat surface to a three-dimensional one.
The buildings were connected by long bridges. Below the bridges, there were winding rivers and continuous lakes, like a pearl necklace. Suddenly, it turned into a waterfall that poured down hundreds of feet, like a jade dragon leaping, and the sound of the waves could be heard for hundreds of miles. It was more spectacular and incredible than any city he had seen in his previous life.
On the top of the mountain in the center of the island, there was a tall building that was thousands of feet tall. In its majesty, it also had the power to soar into the clouds. The top of the building had indeed sunk into the clouds, and all the buildings surrounded it like stars surrounding the moon.
