Although there were many twists and turns in the journey to the Green Mountains, the result was undoubtedly good. Yaoyao had a place to go and I successfully obtained the Seven Star Mugwort. What I needed to do next was to return to Shenzhen as soon as possible and use the power of the Seven Star Mugwort to slow down Little Wang Li's illness.
As for Fatty, I had already told him that he would first follow me back to Shenzhen. When I went home to pay my respects to my parents during the Lunar New Year, he would come back with me.
After descending Green Dragon Mountain, Fatty and I stopped at the scenic area to rest for the night because it was already late. The next day, we rushed to Jining Qufu Airport and flew back to Shenzhen.
All these years, I had been running around without stopping, but when it came to the means of transportation, planes could only be ranked at the bottom. The number of times I had taken them could be counted on one hand.
When a cultivator was in the Earthly Master Realm, all their Taoist Qi was obtained from the dragon vein. The dragon vein was also known as the vein of the earth. This was also the reason why the three realms of Dragon Seeking, Acupuncture, and Glorious Knowledge were collectively known as Earthly Masters.
In the Earthly Master Realm, the earth was both the source and the restraint. Unless it was an emergency, otherwise, they would never choose to take a plane.
But now it was different. In the Tomb of Chiyou, I had successfully become a Heavenly Master. All my Taoist Qi and Shaman Qi had turned into True Essence. I had the ability to fly in the sky and was no longer restrained by the vein of the earth.
It was just like when one had just become a Heavenly Master and their body involuntarily floated in the air. Heavenly Masters were called Heavenly Masters because after reaching this realm, regardless of cultivation or state of mind, there would be an indescribable and subtle feeling of the sky. Every time one broke away from the earth and soared into the sky, every cell in the body seemed to be cheering, feeling endless joy. The circulation of the True Essence in the body would also be much faster than usual.
So when I took a plane and soared in the sky, it was actually beneficial to my cultivation.
It was a pity that although the civilian plane flew at a high altitude, the cabin was a closed environment. It was impossible for me to feel the power of heaven and earth in the sky.
I sat in the window seat of the plane and looked at the clouds outside. I was thinking that if I had the chance, I would definitely get a small plane that could fly at high altitudes and send me high up in the sky to try cultivating. Perhaps I would be able to reap some benefits.
The air at high altitudes is thin and the air pressure is lower. If an ordinary person did not have the protection of the cabin, they would suffer from hypoxia and frostbite if they were lucky, or they would die on the spot if they were unlucky. However, it is different for cultivators. For example, when I was at the Geomaster Realm, I was already immune to the cold and heat. Regardless of whether it was a high temperature of 40 degrees Celsius in summer or a low temperature of zero degrees Celsius in winter, it made no difference to me. Even if it was an ultra-low temperature that was close to 100 degrees Celsius in high altitudes, with the strength of my body, I could ignore it.
Although the low air pressure and lack of oxygen were a little troublesome, they would not cause any problems in the short term.
While I was thinking about cultivation, the fatty next to me was sleeping soundly on the business class chair. The stewardess was worried that the cabin temperature was too low, so she covered him with a blanket, but she didn't wake him up.
I didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He was a cultivator, but he wasn't vigilant at all. It was amazing.
However, from the bottom of my heart, I had always envied the fatty.
He and I had embarked on the path of cultivation at almost the same time. Along the way, I had encountered countless dangers. There were even a few times when I was in a life-threatening situation. If it wasn't for my good luck, it was hard to say if I could have survived until now.
Fatty, on the other hand, is different. Strictly speaking, he has been cultivating for a longer time than me, but from the beginning, he has been under the protection of the Zhanyan Sect. He has an extremely doting master to take care of him, so he has not suffered at all.
When we met again, we went to the Fire God Temple. Although there were many dangers along the way, most of them didn't affect the fatty. When we arrived at the Fire God Temple, although the fatty had disappeared for a year, when he reappeared, he said that he didn't have any memories of that year. It was obvious that he hadn't encountered any danger.
Since then, his path had been smooth. Although the cultivation of the Zhanyan Sect was different from the others, he was close to the Heavenly Master Realm. Moreover, during the trip to Chiyou's tomb, he had obtained an ancient divine tool, the Devil Refining Gourd.
In the world of Metaphysics, there was a saying about luck. No matter if it was the family, the country, or the world, everything was controlled by luck. The fatty was a person with great luck. He had been in the cultivation world for so many years, but he still had a pure and innocent heart. He didn't have any worries.
He wasn't like me, who hadn't had a good sleep for many years. At night, if there was a little movement, I would wake up instantly.
This was under the condition that I was sleeping. Most of the time, I closed my eyes and cultivated instead of sleeping.
The fatty was still sleeping soundly until the plane landed at the Bao 'an Airport. I slapped his head twice, and then he stretched his body and woke up. He was a guy that people envied.
Since I didn't want to trouble Zhang Kanwen and the others, I didn't inform them beforehand that I was coming back. After leaving the airport, the fatty and I took a taxi to the Fengshui Metaphysics Shop.
When we arrived at the shop, I lifted my head and saw the words' Fengshui Metaphysics Shop '. I felt at ease. After my parents had passed away, the word' home 'had disappeared from my life.
The Fengshui Metaphysics Shop in front of me was a gift from Wang Yongjun. I hadn't stayed here for a long time. However, in this world, the only place that I could call 'home' was this small shop.
The corners of my mouth curled into a smile as I stepped into the shop.
After entering the shop, I first observed the talismans on display.
Most of them were made by me, and a few were new ones. From their auras, I could tell that Zhang Kanwen had made them.
Selling talismans was a business that didn't open for business for three years. Since there were a few new talismans, it seemed that the shop's business wasn't bad.
However, after looking at the talismans for a long time, no one came to greet me. I felt a little strange.
I put away my smile and walked around the shelves to look at the counter.
Behind the red wooden counter, it was usually Xie Chenghua or Liu Chuande. The shop's business was usually taken care of by the two of them. But today, there was no one behind the counter.
I frowned. Just as I was about to go to the second floor, I heard hurried footsteps behind me. At the same time, a woman's voice called out, "Sirs, what do you want?"
Hearing the voice, I turned around and saw that the woman behind me was Wang Kun's wife. She was carrying some food in her hands and was walking into the shop in a hurry.
When I turned around, she recognized me. Her expression instantly changed and she said with a sobbing tone, "Mr. Zhou, you're finally back …"
I was already suspicious about the strange situation in the shop. Hearing her words, my heart tightened. I quickly asked her, "What happened?
Where are Xie Chenghua and Liu Chuande?
How are Little Wang Li and Brother Zhang? "
It would have been better if I hadn't asked. As soon as I asked, Wang Kun's wife burst into tears. She choked with sobs and said, "Mr. Zhou, you have to save Wang Li. You have to save Wang Li …"
As she said that, she was about to kneel down in front of me.
I quickly reached out and pulled her back. Confused, I said, "Don't worry. I went out this time to find the life-saving herb for Wang Li, and I've successfully brought it back. I promise you that Wang Li will be fine.
Tell me, did something happen in the shop? Where are Brother Zhang and the others? "
Logically speaking, after hearing my words, she should have calmed down. However, the tears on her face didn't stop. Sobbing, she said, "Brother Zhang is upstairs. Mr. Xie and the others aren't in the shop now … Mr. Zhou, I beg you, you have to save Li 'er …"
I had already told her that I had found the life-saving herb for Wang Li. Why did she say that?
I frowned and asked her again, "What happened?"
While sobbing, Wang Kun's wife told me, "In the two months that I was gone, something big happened."
According to her, at first, two Daoist priests came to the shop to buy talismans. After looking at the talismans in the shop, they insisted on finding the person who made the talismans. Xie Chenghua and Liu Chuande came to see them, but they immediately recognized that they weren't talisman makers.
The two Daoists were rude and unreasonable, and their cultivation wasn't bad either. Xie and Liu had no choice but to report it to Zhang Kanwen and let him deal with it.
When the two Daoists saw Zhang Kanwen, their attitude became better. They said that most of the talismans in the shop had traces of their sect making talismans. They asked if Zhang Kanwen was a fellow Daoist of the same sect. After getting a denial, the two Daoists' attitude became rude again. They scolded Zhang Kanwen, saying that he must have secretly learned how to make talismans from their sect and sold them. It was a disgrace to their sect, so they demanded an explanation from Zhang Kanwen. They also demanded that all the talismans be taken away.
The two Daoists were only at the early stage of the Glorious Knowledge realm. Even if they worked together, they wouldn't be Zhang Kanwen's match. With Zhang Kanwen's character, he wouldn't argue with them. He didn't spoil them either. After beating them up, he threw them out.
Before leaving, the two Daoists said that they wouldn't let this matter go.
I thought it was just a small disturbance, but half a month later, the two Daoists reappeared. This time, they were accompanied by a few older Daoists. These older Daoists had extraordinary cultivation levels. As soon as they appeared, Zhang Kanwen knew he wasn't their match.
Although Zhang Kanwen looked rough, he wasn't a reckless person. Moreover, these talismans were made by me, so he didn't know if I had anything to do with the other party's sect. To be safe, he didn't try to force the issue. He agreed to let the Daoists take the talismans away. As for the person who made the talismans, he said it was a friend and made up a name.
Because his cultivation level was different from the aura on the talismans, the old Daoists didn't force him too much. They only said that they would come back to check when the person who made the talismans returned.
The matter was supposed to be over, but just as the Daoists were about to take the talismans and leave, little Wang Li on the second floor started crying. Wang Kun's wife couldn't calm him down, so she carried him downstairs to show Zhang Kanwen. However, she was seen by the Daoists.
Over the past few months, the evil aura on little Wang Li's body had become stronger. The Daoists had extraordinary cultivation levels, so they saw the strangeness on Wang Li's body and wanted to check it out.
Zhang Kanwen didn't agree, but he was injured by them.
After checking, the Daoists came to the same conclusion as Zhang Kanwen. They said that little Wang Li was possessed by a demon and would bring disaster to the world in the future. They wanted to kill little Wang Li on the spot.
Fortunately, Zhang Kanwen used the ancient book of the Song of Righteousness and temporarily obtained the power of a Heavenly Master. He defeated the Daoists and took back Wang Li.
The Daoists' cultivation levels were also at the peak of the later stage of Glorious Memory. They couldn't defeat Zhang Kanwen, who had suddenly entered the Heavenly Master realm, but they didn't retreat. Instead, they threatened Zhang Kanwen to hand over little Wang Li within a week. Otherwise, the seniors of their sect would come. At that time, whoever tried to stop them would die!
After they left, Zhang Kanwen rested for two days. Then, he dismissed Xie Chenghua and Liu Chuande. He stayed with little Wang Li.
It was obvious that he would protect little Wang Li with his life.
However, from the way he dismissed Xie Chenghua and Liu Chuande, it was clear that he was ready to die and didn't have much confidence.
Zhang Kanwen's cultivation level was close to the peak of Glorious Memory. After using the ancient book of the Song of Righteousness, he could even use the power of a Heavenly Master. There were at least many Heavenly Masters, or even Yang God Heavenly Master. There weren't many in the world.
In addition, they were Daoists, and their style of doing things. After listening to Wang Kun's wife's story, a few words came to my mind.
