Lou Xiaoyi had been happy in the Carefree Mountain for a year. Unlike before when he was alone, he had at least a few friends now. For example, Fan Tong, Zuo Li, Jia Hua, and the others who had gone through life and death with him in Shajia. With their introductions, it was much easier for him to integrate into the sect. Others no longer treated him as a new Gold Core disciple, but as a proper Carefree Mountain disciple.
All of this was earned with his strength.
He couldn't interfere with the struggle of the upper echelons, and he couldn't even participate. He could only passively wait. Until a year later, Ka Wah found him.
Seeing Lou Xiaoyi sweating profusely after swinging his sword in the morning, and his upper body naked, she frowned.
"Do you have to use this method to practice your sword? What's the difference between cultivation and martial arts in the mortal world? "
Lou Xiaoyi smiled and said, "I like the feeling of sweating, as long as I can kill people!"
"Bathe, change clothes! I'll take you to a place! "
Ka Wah waited in boredom, and found that this guy's bathing was really like jumping into a mountain spring. He even played the role of a soap opera!
Wasn't the so-called bathing of cultivators a simple self-cleaning technique? How could it be so troublesome? If their habits were the same as those of mortals, then what was the point of cultivation?
But she wasn't a shallow person. She thought that this might be a way to maintain a normal state of mind.
When the two of them flew out one after another, she praised him, which was rare.
"It's really not easy for Junior Brother to maintain a normal state of mind."
Lou Xiaoyi knew what she was talking about. "Senior Sister, you think too much. It's just that I'm not good at spells, especially this kind of water spell that requires fine control. It needs to be cleaned, removed dirt, and rubbed mud. It's not easy to control where the hair roots are hidden …"
Ka Wah was completely familiar with his crazy words. She knew that the best way to deal with it was to let it go in one ear and out the other. She couldn't take it seriously, or else it would never end until she couldn't control her emotions anymore.
Their destination was the Great Freedom Hall, but before they arrived, Ka Wah stopped on a mountain peak.
"One ear! I have a question that you need to answer honestly. Otherwise, I won't do my best to help you this time! "
Lou Xiaoyi helplessly said, "Senior Apprentice Sister, aren't you breaking the contract midway? It was damaging to his Dao Heart! Ask away, but I can't guarantee that I'll be able to answer you! "
Ka Wah was very serious. "Who introduced you to Xiao Yao You? Let me tell you, this is very important. It's related to whether or not you can obtain the Carefree Mask! "
Lou Xiaoyi's face was bitter. "Hey, if I could answer this question, I wouldn't need to ask you for help. Someone else would take care of it for me. It's precisely because I can't say it that I'm begging you, Senior Sister, okay?"
Ka Wah knows very well that he must have been warned by the referees to not expose the referees' identity. This is very common in the world of cultivation. Most great cultivators are good at this kind of thing to avoid getting involved in things that are not karma. However, just because he can't say it doesn't mean that she can't ask.
"There are three springs next to Xiao Yao Youhua Pond. One is Taiyin Spring, one is Yuanhui Spring, and one is Sanyang Spring … Which one do you prefer?"
Lou Xiaoyi thought for a moment. "Taiyin is clear and sweet, and Yuanhui has undercurrents. I like them all very much …"
Ka Wah smiled like a flower. This is the answer! Only mentioning Taiyin and Yuanhui but not Sanyang meant that the Yin Spirit and Primordial Spirit could be revealed, but the Yang Spirit couldn't be revealed. In other words, the default referees were Yang Spirit Supremes. This was a way for cultivators to avoid risks. It sounded ridiculous, but it was an indispensable part.
"Sanyang Spring gushes during the day, calm at night, cool at summer solstice, warm in winter, and separated by rain. Which scene does Junior Apprentice Brother like?"
There were five Yang Spirit Supremes in Xiao Yao You, namely Bai Mei, Yong Ye, Xia Zi, Dong Zhi, Yuyan, and Ka Wah. Lou Xiaoyi turned around and left.
"Senior Apprentice Sister, don't say anymore. I don't want your help, okay?"
Ka Wah pursed her lips and counted in her heart. Sure enough, when she counted to three, the one ear stopped.
"Senior Apprentice Sister, why aren't you stopping me?"
Ka Wah snorted. "Why would I stop you? If you give up on your own initiative, I'll save myself some effort! "
Lou Xiaoyi spat back. "Senior Apprentice Sister, can't you just give me a straightforward answer? I'm a straightforward person. If I succeed, I'll do it. If I don't, I'll think of another way … "
Ka Wah said bluntly, "The mission to Rainbow Colors can be done anytime, anywhere. But this time, we're going to Great Freedom Hall to discuss whether you can get Xiao Yao Mask. I've already done my best, including Fan Tong and Zuo Li, but in the end, we can only advise our elders behind their backs, not make the final decision.
This time, it's a few Enlightened Masters from Great Freedom Hall who want to meet you. As for the final decision, even I don't know. "
Lou Xiaoyi chuckled. "The mission to Rainbow Colors is my wish, you know that. But whether I can become Xiao Yao Mask or not isn't important. Hehe, at worst, I'll just wear a mask myself. Can't the sect allow it?"
Ka Wah reprimanded, "You really don't know any rules! You actually dare to treat the sect's rules as a joke! When Xiao Yao Mask goes out, not only does he have the glory and authority to lead Jin Dan cultivators, he also has the responsibility. Most importantly, he could be the target of other orthodoxies! "
Lou Xiaoyi didn't care at all. "The thing I'm least afraid of is being attacked!"
Ka Wah was speechless. That's right. Other people might get into trouble if they put on a mask, and be beaten back to their original form. But this person wouldn't, because he was a vicious person who could push a preacher to the ground!
As they got closer and closer to Great Freedom Hall, Ka Wah reminded him, "One Ear! Your problem is that your strength is more than enough to be Xiao Yao Mask, and you also have battle records. But what you lack is connections, background, and the recognition of other Jin Dan cultivators! And all of these require a lot of time, not even a hundred years!
This is why I've been asking you who recommended you. In Xiao Yao Travel, if an external disciple is recommended by a True Monarch, everyone will give you some face and won't deliberately alienate you. They'll treat you as one of their own. If you're recommended by a Sun God Ancestor, what's a mask worth? "
Lou Xiaoyi sighed. "After going around in circles, it turns out that I still have to rely on the back door!"
Ka Wah sneered. "It's like this in the mortal world, and it's the same in the cultivation world. Everywhere pays attention to this! It's not just my Xiao Yao Family. What's so strange about it? "
The two of them arrived at Great Freedom Hall. Ka Wah waited outside, and Lou Xiaoyi entered alone. He had only been to this place once when he was a new disciple, and it was a side hall. It was a bit like Xuanyuan's Thunder Hall or Soaring Heaven Pavilion. It was the highest decision-making body for all matters of the domain.
Lou Xiaoyi found it funny that five Perfected Masters were sitting in the hall. Wasn't this a bit too grand? Wasn't it just a matter of a sentence whether one could wear the Xiao Yao Mask or not? Was there a need to make it look like a joint hearing?
What he didn't know was that deciding whether a Jin Dan cultivator was qualified to wear a mask was really not very important to a more casual orthodoxy like the Xiao Yao Travel. It was far less formal than the preachers, tattoos, and imperial crowns of other sects. Generally, it was a Perfected Master's suggestion, and the other Perfected Masters of Great Freedom Hall just had to agree.
