Time passed by slowly.
In the blink of an eye, it was already night time.
Li Nianfan was resting in his room. He didn't fall asleep but he was waiting because he knew that they would arrive at their destination that night.
Knock knock knock.
As expected, there was a knock on the door. Then, Qin Manyun's gentle voice was heard. "Young Master Li, are you asleep?"
"Nope."
Li Nianfan opened the door. "We're here?"
"Yes, we're here. Young Master Li, do you want to go to the deck and take a look?"
After spending so much time together, Qin Manyun had already understood the expert's mentality. He was just having fun and enjoying the scenery along the way.
Li Nianfan smiled and said, "Since we're here, of course."
Then, he walked out of the room and headed to the deck.
Yao Mengji and the rest were there too. They greeted him respectfully, "Young Master Li."
They were extremely excited. A glass of wine in the morning had helped them achieve a breakthrough. The expert was too good to them. How could they be worthy of it?
While they were touched, they wanted to sacrifice their lives for the expert.
However, when they thought of the expert's taboo, they quickly suppressed their thoughts. To the expert, nothing in the world was good enough. The best way to repay him was to follow his preferences and let him have fun.
"Young Master Li, that's Chuchen Town." Emperor Luo pointed in a direction and said.
It was called a town because it was located in the Northeast. It lacked resources and had a small population. It was basically a small city and a small village. It couldn't be compared to the prosperity of the Fallen Town. Hence, a few cities and villages were merged to form a town.
Although it couldn't be compared to a big city, it occupied a lot more land.
Tonight, Chuchen Town was extremely lively. Compared to the Azure Valley's Demon Sealing Ceremony, it was less depressing and more casual and fun.
Even though it was night time, the center of the town was still brightly lit. Furthermore, there were streams of light of various colors flowing around, accompanied by clamor, as if it was a market.
In the sky, from time to time, Immortal Cultivators would turn into streaks of light and pass by, exchanging blows with each other. It was very lively.
The appearance of the spirit boat shocked many immortal cultivators. There was no chance for them to pick a fight, so they all chose to avoid it.
Not long after, the spirit boat landed steadily without any turbulence. Although the movement was not big, it caused quite a stir.
It was as if a luxury car had suddenly driven into a poor village.
Although there were big shots from all over the world participating in the Cultivators' Exchange Conference, not many of them could drive a spirit boat here.
Soon, someone recognized him and exclaimed in a flattering tone, "Daoist Meng Ji."
"So it's Yao Mengji from the Linxian Palace, Palace Lord Mengji!"
"He's actually here. Our exchange is going to be a hit!"
"I think there's either something wrong with your eyes, or your hearts are starting to become twisted. Do you only stare at the old man? Can't you see such a beautiful woman beside you? "
"Gasp — That's the Saintess of the Linxian Palace, Qin Manyun! So beautiful, so celestial! "
"Who's that woman beside her? She's so beautiful, so mature, and so elegant! "
Many cultivators exclaimed in awe, feeling extremely conflicted.
They wanted to get close to him, but they only dared to look from afar.
"Daoist Mengji, I didn't expect you to come. Your presence brings light to the entire Exchange Conference!"
Accompanied by a loud laugh, a few figures rode on streaks of light and arrived with the wind. The leader was an old man with a head full of white hair. He had the demeanor of an immortal and wore a kind smile.
Yao Mengji immediately put on a serious expression and greeted respectfully, "Daoist Qing Feng."
"Come to think of it, we haven't seen each other for more than 500 years." Daoist Qing Feng's eyes were filled with emotions. However, when he looked at Yao Mengji, his eyes suddenly focused. His mouth opened slightly, revealing an expression of disbelief. "You … You've broken through to the Tribulation Stage?"
This was because he realized that he could not see through Yao Mengji at all. It was obvious that the other party had far surpassed him.
"I was lucky, lucky." Yao Mengji smiled modestly. If Daoist Qing Feng knew that he had already reached the late-stage of the Tribulation Stage, his eyeballs would probably pop out.
Moreover, he had achieved it in just a few months. Without a comparison, he could not feel it. Now that he thought about it, it was like a dream.
Daoist Qing Feng's face was instantly filled with bitterness. He opened his mouth and said, "Mengji, Qian … Qian …"
Yao Mengji immediately said seriously, "Daoist Qing Feng, you've helped me a lot in the past. If you call me Senior, I'll fall out with you!"
"Okay, okay, okay." Daoist Qing Feng could not help but nod. Deep in his eyes, there was relief and loneliness.
That kid from back then had unknowingly surpassed him. His talent was indeed very poor. Would he still have a chance to become an immortal in this lifetime?
His heart could not help but twitch violently. Would he still have a chance to see her?
Don't think about it, don't think about it. He was already half a foot into the ground. What was there to think about?
He shook his head and heard Yao Mengji say, "Grandmaster, this is Daoist Qing Feng. After you ascended to the Immortal World, Master also died under the Tian Die. It was all thanks to his help that we were able to overcome all the dangers."
Gu Xirou was slightly moved. He could not help but say, "Oh? Then you have to thank him properly. "
This voice …
Grand, Grandmaster?
Daoist Qing Feng's entire body trembled. He suddenly raised his head and stared at Gu Xirou. In just a moment, his blood surged and tears welled up in his eyes.
It's her. It's really her!
His lips trembled slightly. He said dreamily, "Senior … Senior Gu."
Gu Xirou was slightly stunned. "Hmm? You know me? "
Daoist Qing Feng said in a trembling voice, "Senior Gu, do you still remember the young man who almost died under the demon's mouth at the foot of Heavenly Cloud Mountain?"
"It's you?" Gu Xirou looked surprised.
"It's normal that you don't recognize me." Daoist Qing Feng's expression was bitter. "Senior, you're still graceful and charming, but I'm already old."
His expression was bleak and extremely bitter.
Li Nianfan's expression suddenly became strange. He could easily hear the underlying meaning in Daoist Qing Feng's words.
This was a drama of a beauty saving a hero. However, it had to be said that the Immortal World was really messy. The saying that age was not an issue was vividly portrayed.
When you were twenty years old, you took a fancy to a fairy and cultivated bitterly for thousands of years to catch up to her. In the end, you cultivated until your hair turned white, but she was still a fairy.
Was there anything worse in the world than this?
Li Nianfan shook his head. He could not help but look at Daoist Qing Feng sympathetically.
As the saying went, a woman who was three thousand years older would be ranked among the Immortals. The ancients did not lie.
"Daoist Qing Feng, you, you, you …"
Yao Mengji's expression changed. He pointed at Daoist Qing Feng with a trembling finger. He was so angry that his beard stood up. "I didn't expect you to be like this! I treated you as a friend, but you actually, you actually … "
I treated you as a friend, but you actually wanted to flirt with my ancestor? If I really let you succeed, wouldn't that be terrible? Wouldn't you become my ancestor in a single leap?
"Wild ambition, wild ambition!"
Yao Mengji was so angry that he felt betrayed.
He said angrily, "So you've always had other plans! You're simply a toad lusting after a swan's meat. You're worse than a beast! "
"Mengji, be more tactful."
Gu Xirou spoke naturally and generously. "After all, everyone loves beauty. Your ancestor's charm is right here. People can't help admiring her. Little Qing Feng, give up your unrealistic fantasies. You really don't deserve me. You're already so old. Hurry up and find a Dao companion. If you're still energetic, you might even have a descendant."
Daoist Qing Feng's face was slightly red. It wasn't because of anger, but because of shame. He was having a mental breakdown.
Why did he lose his composure when he saw the figure that he yearned for day and night? He couldn't control his emotions. He wanted to dig a hole and bury himself immediately.
"Senior Gu, Daoist Mengji, I was poisoned by the Mind Loss Powder not long ago. I'll speak nonsense from time to time. Please don't misunderstand."
Daoist Qing Feng quickly tried to salvage the situation. He said, "You're new here. You don't have a place to stay. I'll arrange it for you now."
He was in the late-stage Combination Realm. He was also very popular and had a good reputation. He was considered a rather authoritative presence in this area. He was in charge of the exchange competition.
Yao Mengji looked at Li Nianfan and respectfully asked for his opinion. "Young Master Li, do you want to stay now?"
"That's good. It's getting late." Li Nianfan nodded. Then, he added, "Elder Yao, it's not too troublesome. Don't spend too much money."
"I understand. Young Master Li, don't worry."
Yao Mengji nodded immediately. Then, he stopped being polite and said, "Daoist Qing Feng, hurry up and arrange for us to stay."
Daoist Qing Feng didn't mind. However, he looked at Li Nianfan and opened his mouth. He wanted to say something but stopped.
"What are you waiting for? Hurry up! "Yao Mengji hurriedly pushed Daoist Qing Feng and gave him a crazy look.
Daoist Qing Feng was a little confused. However, he wasn't a fool. He suppressed his doubts and said, "Esteemed guests, please follow me."
Li Nianfan followed the group. It wasn't hard to see that the cultivators participating in this exchange competition didn't have high cultivations.
Along the way, some prestigious cultivators would respectfully greet Yao Mengji. Clearly, Yao Mengji was considered a big shot among them. They were basking in his glory.
Moreover, there was an Immortal in the group. A sense of superiority immediately arose.
Daoist Qing Feng was full of doubts. He could feel that Yao Mengji and even Gu Xirou respected Li Nianfan from the bottom of their hearts. They were always paying attention to Li Nianfan's every move. Once Li Nianfan had any problems or needs, they would solve them immediately.
However, no matter how he looked at it, he was just a mortal.
"Don't look around. Lead the way!" Yao Mengji shouted in a low voice. His tone was extremely serious.
Daoist Qing Feng lowered his voice and asked curiously, "Daoist Mengji, this person is …"
"This person is a monstrous figure that you will never be able to imagine!"
Yao Mengji's expression was serious. Then, he said, "Don't ask too much. Keep your curiosity to yourself. Arrange for the best and quietest room here. Also … don't let anyone disturb this expert! From this moment onwards, keep your mouth shut! "
Daoist Qing Feng didn't say anything else. However, his heart was pounding uncontrollably. Because he wasn't stupid, he was even more nervous.
Senior Gu was an Immortal. Even he didn't dare to put on airs. Then, this person's background …
He took a deep breath and hurriedly suppressed the shock in his heart. He was both nervous and expectant of the unknown.
After turning a few corners, Li Nianfan enjoyed a different night view. He even saw two cultivators fighting. Their strength wasn't high, and the scene wasn't big, but it was interesting.
Soon, they arrived at the residence.
It was a large courtyard located in the northwest of the town center. The courtyard was huge, and there were pavilions and terraces. It was a quiet place amidst the chaos. It was a nice place.
Daoist Qing Feng said, "This is the residence. There are more than enough rooms."
Yao Mengji looked at Li Nianfan and asked, "Young Master Li, are you going to rest?"
Li Nianfan nodded. "I'm a little sleepy. Where's the room?"
"Young Master Li, please follow me." Daoist Qing Feng was shocked and led the way respectfully.
After sending Li Nianfan into the room, Daoist Qing Feng heaved a sigh of relief. Then, he looked at Yao Mengji and asked impatiently, "Daoist Mengji, what's going on?"
"This is no small matter. Come with me!"
Yao Mengji led Daoist Qing Feng to a remote corner and asked, "Daoist Qing Feng, how much lifespan do you have left?"
Daoist Qing Feng was stunned. Then, he looked down and smiled bitterly. "I'm afraid less than 300 years. I can't make any more breakthroughs in my cultivation. I'm prepared."
Yao Mengji said seriously, "Don't say that I didn't bring you along. Young Master Li, since you're here, it's the greatest opportunity in your life. Breaking through the bottleneck is just a small matter. As for whether you can seize it, it's up to you."
Daoist Qing Feng's heart pounded wildly. He looked at Yao Mengji suspiciously. "You're not lying to me?"
"This time, you're really lucky. In order to convince you, I have to give up my treasure."
Yao Mengji sighed softly. Then, he took out an orange from his collection. After hesitating for a long time, he carefully peeled it and tore a small piece for Daoist Qing Feng. His heart ached. "Don't be shy. Eat it."
Daoist Qing Feng's expectant face froze. He looked at the piece of orange and then at Yao Mengji's hesitant look. He was a little confused.
The corner of his mouth twitched. He couldn't help but say, "Daoist Mengji, I think you're insulting me."
