The Treasure Generating Bowl - Chapter 1078

Chapter 1078 Forming a Good Connection

A wobbly cat, pulling a heavy cart, sped past on the wide street.

He Pingsheng pulled Lu Xiaoci and Chi Zhongyue aside, making way for the speeding car!

Chi Zhongyue said, “Why don’t we take a carriage too?”

Lu Xiaoci shook her head: “Let’s go…no rush!”

“By the way, how do we get back to the sect?”

He Pingsheng remained silent, but Chi Zhongyue asked, “Senior Sister Lu, didn’t the city lord make things difficult for you?”

“No!” Lu Xiaoci’s face was a little pale. She forced a smile and said, “She asked me to become her disciple under the City Lord’s Mansion, but I did not agree!”

“Of course, the city lord didn’t force me!”

“After all, all her thoughts are now on that Fairy Caiyu!”

“I heard that there are twelve people who are suspected to be Fairy Caiyu. They have all been invited by the city lord to a special place and are being verified one by one!”

“She doesn’t care about me!”

“Junior Brother He, which way do we go?” Lu Xiaoci looked up at He Pingsheng.

She felt that although He Pingsheng’s cultivation level was the lowest among the three, his wit and meticulousness were the best.

He Pingsheng said, “Let’s go…we’ll talk as we walk!”

That’s right, the city lord arrested twelve suspects related to Fairy Caiyu, but not He Pingsheng.

Because He Pingsheng went in under a false name and came out unseen, he left no clues and thus escaped capture.

“I think,” He Pingsheng paused slightly before saying, “there are probably people from Kunwu Mountain in this city. At this moment, the news that you, Senior Sister Lu, are on the list has most likely already reached Kunwu Mountain!”

“On our way back, we’ll most likely encounter their interception again!”

“Moreover, this time the other side has probably deployed even more experts, and their cultivation levels might even be higher!”

He Pingsheng’s analysis is not without merit.

Lu Xiaoci is the number one genius in the entire Red Lotus Immortal Valley. When she was ambushed last time, the other party only dispatched four Earth Immortals and more than twenty Earth Immortal-level two-headed eagles!

Now that Lu Xiaoci has actually made it onto the leaderboard, one can imagine that the other side will definitely mobilize even more people to intercept and kill her this time.

Moreover, the cultivator who ambushed them this time was probably not just a simple Earth Immortal!

“I know!” Lu Xiaoci asked, “Then what should we do?”

“How about we stay here?”

“No!” He Pingsheng said, “We definitely have to go back. Staying here indefinitely isn’t a solution!”

“How about this…we’ll…take a detour!”

“Take a detour?” the two women asked almost simultaneously. “How do we take a detour?”

He Pingsheng took out a jade slip, and the map inside transformed into a light membrane that fell into the void!

The three of them stopped on the street.

This is a simplified map of the territory ruled by the Qiankun Immortal City, which marks the location of the Immortal City, as well as the locations of Red Lotus Immortal Valley and Kunwu Mountain.

“Look!” He Pingsheng said, “Following this route is the fastest, but I’m sure there are cultivators from Kunwu Mountain waiting for us along the way!”

“Let’s go around in circles like this!”

“We’ll go around the east side of Red Lotus Immortal Valley, making a big detour, and that way we can avoid their pursuit!”

“However, the journey will take about twice as long!”

“It took three months to get here, but the journey back will probably take five months or even longer, and we may encounter unknown dangers along the way!”

“What do you think?” He Pingsheng turned to look at the two of them.

They both nodded: “No problem!”

“Alright!” He Pingsheng said, “Since you all think it’s fine, let’s take this route. It’s just mostly mountainous terrain, and I’ve inquired about it; the monsters along the way aren’t too outrageous!”

Let’s go!

The three of them left the city and boarded He Pingsheng’s flying boat, flying back in the predetermined direction.

They had only flown for about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn when they were intercepted in mid-air.

The person who intercepted them was a hunched old man.

There was a young man beside the old man.

“Greetings, Deputy City Lord of Tianyin!” He Pingsheng quickly bowed to the other party.

Tianyin waved her hand with a smile and said, “What… are you going back already?”

As she spoke, Tianyin’s gaze swept over Lu Xiaoci a few more times.

He Pingsheng smiled and said, “Yes, I’ve been away for more than two years, so I’m eager to go back!”

“Hmm!” Tianyin said, “He Pingsheng…may I have a question I’d like to ask you in private!”

“I wouldn’t dare!” He Pingsheng quickly replied, “Please!”

After saying that, he got off the flying boat, leaving Lu Xiaoci and Chi Zhongyue on the boat, while He Pingsheng himself landed on a hilltop below.

Tianyin and the young man followed.

“What questions do you have, senior?” He Pingsheng asked sincerely. “As long as it’s something I know, I will answer it to the best of my ability!”

“Hehehe…” Tianyin waved her hand and laughed, saying, “No rush, we probably won’t see each other again. Come, come… there’s a stone here, let’s sit down and talk!”

The three landed on a bare boulder.

That day, the deputy city lord of Tianyin even brought out a tea set, prepared some immortal tea and wine, and laid them out.

“Don’t be shy!” Tianyin pointed to the cup: “Here… have a couple of sips and try it!”

He Pingsheng carefully picked up the cup, took a small sip, but dared not swallow the celestial wine.

Tianyin didn’t care, and simply said, “Oh dear, the city lord entrusted me with the task of finding this [Jade Fairy]. I’ve taken a close look, and I’m afraid none of those twelve people are the real Jade Fairy!”

My dear reader, there’s more to —even more exciting content awaits!

As she spoke, Tianyin glanced at He Pingsheng with a half-smile.

He Pingsheng’s heart skipped a beat, but on the surface he remained calm and composed.

Tianyin continued, “Only I know about your duel with Ji Wuxin. Princess Yu and Ji Wuxin have already returned!”

“So now, no one in the entire Qiankun Immortal City knows you exist!”

This statement seems plain and simple, yet it carries a profound meaning.

He Pingsheng smiled and asked, “Senior Tianyin, have you already found the Jade Fairy?”

“Hahaha…” Tianyin laughed loudly, saying, “I can’t find her, I can’t find her… My lifespan is almost over, and I have no hope of breaking through to the Golden Immortal realm. I’m already a cripple who won’t live much longer. I’m deaf and blind, how could I possibly find the real Fairy Caiyu?”

“I’ve come here today simply to establish a good relationship with Fellow Daoist He!”

He Pingsheng was immediately filled with trepidation: “I dare not accept such praise… Senior is too kind to this junior. How could this junior be worthy of being called a fellow Daoist in front of you?”

“Hey… I won’t stand on ceremony with you!” With that, he turned around and tugged at the young man beside him: “This is my lad, named Chu Sheng. Chu Sheng is talented and has good character, but he’s a bit too honest, hahaha…”

“In the future… after I am gone, if he encounters any difficulties, I hope Fellow Daoist He will lend a helping hand in consideration of the good deed we have done today!”

“I am deeply grateful!”

The old man, whose body was already hunched over, stood up with utmost solemnity, bowed to He Pingsheng, and paid his respects!
