"Yes, why not?" Xu Xian said matter-of-factly.
He didn't necessarily need to be asleep for his cultivation, but he needed to be quiet. Not only his mind, but his body also needed to be quiet.
Since he had to be quiet anyway, he might as well do something that he could do when he was quiet.
Qingluan looked at him strangely and turned back to the cabin. After a while, she came out with a few fishing tools and handed them to Xu Xian. "Here, go fishing!" She said in her heart, "I want to see what tricks you can play!"
Over the years, she had seen many guys who played hard to get, or deliberately did some strange things to attract the attention of the Miss.
There were also some who tried to use her as a breakthrough point and fawned on her more than Caifeng.
But in the end, they all treated it as a joke by saying, "Don't be surprised by the strange!"
Xu Xian took the fishing rod and sat at the bow of the boat.
Strands of bait were attached to the thread and thrown high up into the air. With a splashing sound, the bait landed in the river.
Then he closed his eyes and began his daily cultivation.
In his divine soul, there was still that golden ocean. The main star was unmoving, but it was not glowing like before. Instead, it gradually melted into a golden ball of light, and all the light seemed to be converging into this small ball.
Although it was a dark night, the power of the sun was everywhere, turning into golden light spots and merging into the golden ocean.
At night, it was the moon that provided the most power of the sun. Moonlight was originally the reflection of sunlight. Although it was of the Yin attribute and entered the body as a cold silver light instead of a golden light spot, as long as it merged into the golden ocean, it would immediately be assimilated and changed into its original appearance.
The moonlight that Xu Xian absorbed was only second to the sunlight.
Although there was a conversion process, the efficiency was still higher than at night without moonlight.
Xu Xian also wanted to light up the lunar star like his Taoist master, but just like his current situation, any moonlight that entered his body would only be assimilated.
Presumably, the moon was just a small satellite. If it was a planet that was lit, perhaps there wouldn't be this problem.
As for how to find a planet, Xu Xian thought of another way.
It was a transparent mineral between glass and diamond — crystal.
It was also known as the Water Jade. Although it was still very valuable, and it was extremely difficult to find a crystal that could be used to make a telescope, it was still a step forward compared to the others.
Even if he couldn't find the raw stone, there was still one thing missing in this world, and that was the man-made crystal. However, this thing was just a concept. This time, the ship was going to pass by Jinling, so he had to pay a visit to the Old Master Kim. It would be a surprise.
Whether it was telescopes or artificial crystal production methods, they were all extremely practical technologies in this world. It wouldn't be too much to ask for him to join a technology company!
After all, it was not right to live off Pan Yu all the time. If one day she made any excessive requests, it would be hard for him to refuse her.
Moreover, Pan Yu was also going to leave. At that time, it would be impossible to imagine such a luxurious life.
If he could get in touch with Old Master Kim, he would be able to eat mutton and beef whenever he wanted.
He would buy two things at a time, eat one, and then eat another.
His future wife didn't seem to be well-off. She even had to steal a few hundred taels of silver from Xiaoqing.
Stealing was one thing, but Little Qing's brain was blocked, and she insisted on stealing official silver.
However, it was understandable. What was the use of money for a cultivator, no, a cultivator monster?
Perhaps Little Qing had stolen the treasury silver and used it to play with it.
But he still needed money. After all, his path was in this world.
Qing Luan was depressed watching from the side. An hour had passed, and this Xu Xian was too good at pretending!
He really didn't move.
If it weren't for his casual posture, she would have suspected that Xu Xian was meditating and practicing Qi.
But she knew martial arts, and she also knew that practicing Qi couldn't be done randomly.
Finally, she couldn't help but gently push Xu Xian and said, "Hey, hey!
Xu, Prince Xu, the night is deep, and the water is cold. There won't be fish to eat. "
Xu Xian's body shook slightly, and he woke up from that state of cultivation. Sucking essence was not like practicing Qi. Unless it was a critical moment, even if it was interrupted, there wouldn't be any harm, so Xu Xian dared to sit at the bow of the boat.
"What's the matter?" Xu Xian looked up in confusion.
Qing Luan saw his "why are you bothering me" look.
She thought, "You're fishing for reason."
"There won't be fish to eat at this time. You were born in Jiangzhe."
Xu Xian was helpless. He couldn't tell her that he was cultivating!
"Sigh, I'll tell you, I am cultivating!"
Qing Luan's eyes widened, and she said word by word, "Cultivating!" Then she held her stomach and laughed. Her crisp laughter floated on the surface of the river.
If a monk or a Taoist priest said this, she might be skeptical. But Xu Xian, who was dressed like a scholar, actually said something about cultivating.
Xu Xian just smiled and said, "You won't believe me even if I tell you. Just think of it as me waiting for a stupid fish!
This is called a willing bait. "
Qing Luan felt that his smile was not good. Just now, she couldn't help but wake him up. Could it be that the "stupid fish" was referring to her? Coupled with the bad first impression, Qing Luan's face suddenly darkened. She snorted coldly and turned to leave.
Xu Xian scratched his head, not knowing how he offended her. "Hey, why are you suddenly angry?" Qing Luan ignored him and walked back to the cabin.
Xu Xian shrugged his shoulders and continued with his fishing.
Qing Luan went back to the cabin angrily. She saw that the hall was full of drunk people. Many of them were swaying left and right, and some of them had already started to lay their hands on the maids beside them.
A scholar saw her come over and greeted her drunkenly, thinking that she was just an ordinary maid.
Just as he reached out his hand, he was pushed to the side by Qing Luan.
Caifeng's eyes were also quite drunk. Qing Luan knew that although Miss was good at drinking, she had drunk a little too much. At this time, she should be by Miss's side at all times. However, she saw that Pan Yu, who was sitting beside Miss, was still as calm as water. Not only did she not have the slightest bit of etiquette, but when someone tried to propose a toast to Caifeng, she waved her hand and waved them away. If there was someone who didn't know the immensity of heaven and earth, Pan Yu would make him soften with a look.
After all, no matter how talented Caifeng was, in everyone's heart, she was just a courtesan. However, offending Pan Gongzi was not a joke.
Qing Luan couldn't help but admire Miss's taste. Although this Pan Yu's words were hateful, she was really a gentleman.
With her by Miss's side, no one would bully Miss. It was no wonder that Miss would be tempted by her.
Thinking about what Xu Xian said just now, she knew that she had wronged him. She hated the atmosphere in the cabin even more, so she stomped her feet and walked out again.
This was her temperament. If someone treated Miss well, she would like it. If someone treated Miss badly, she would hate it.
Tonight, after seeing Pan Yu's performance, she couldn't help but let go of the little bit of resentment she had in the past.
If one looked at it normally, Pan Gongzi and Prince Xu were indeed rare gentlemen!
Walking out of the cabin, she saw that Xu Xian was still fishing calmly, as if he didn't care if there was a fish biting the hook or not.
Qing Luan let go of her prejudice and saw an outstanding aura.
However, "Immortal cultivation?"
Thinking about it, she still wanted to laugh.
But when she thought about how she had treated him just now, she realized that she had wronged him and felt a little embarrassed.
She walked over and pushed Xu Xian. Xu Xian stopped cultivating and said with a little depression, "Why did you come back again!"
Qing Luan was very unhappy in her heart. Other people were happy to see her, unlike this person, who looked unhappy.
However, she was a very clear person. Since she wronged him, she still had to apologize.
So she said, "I wronged Prince Xu just now. Please forgive me, Prince Xu."
Xu Xian was stunned and seemed to understand something. He couldn't help but laugh and said, "Do you think you are that silly fish?
You are really silly. "
Qing Luan's face turned red and she stomped her feet. She was even more depressed. Originally, she wasn't the one he was talking about, but now it was her. She couldn't refute it.
Xu Xian saw her little girl's attitude and felt that she was much more attractive than usual. He couldn't help but say, "If you aren't fierce, you are quite beautiful!" Coming from the modern world, this habit of speaking casually probably couldn't be changed.
Qing Luan was stunned. She wanted to take out the fierce statue again and scold this lecher, but seeing the sincere expression on his face, she didn't know why she couldn't be fierce. She just sighed and sat on the side of the boat.
Although she still kept her distance from Xu Xian, it was the first time she took the initiative to be so close to a man.
Perhaps it was just because of a feeling.
There was no condescending disdain, nor was there any compromising flattery.
It was just praise from the bottom of his heart. A man's praise for a woman didn't contain anything else.
It was equal and natural.
Perhaps only these two things were the best to dispel his guard.
Xu Xian saw that her face suddenly became sad. She raised her head and looked at the crescent moon. It was a little sad, but beautiful.
Xu Xian said softly, "Do you miss home?"
Qing Luan nodded slightly, but didn't say anything.
Even if she let down some of her guard, she felt that she wouldn't casually tell her story to others.
Xu Xian sighed.
Home. How could he not miss it?
After wandering this life for more than ten years, he had a very close sister.
But how could he forget all the things that happened in his past life?
The two of them looked at the moonlight, speechless.
Xu Xian couldn't help but recite, "People say that the setting sun is the end of the world, but you can't see home at the end of the world!" Yes, although one could reach the end of the world, it was separated from everything else by time and space.
Although Qing Luan didn't really understand the meaning of this sentence, she could feel his melancholy. She laughed softly and said, "There's no such thing as a setting sun!"
Hearing her laugh, Xu Xian's heart also became much happier.
He wasn't a sentimental person. It was just that he felt sad because of the past.
"Yes, this doesn't fit the scenery. It should be 'Raise your head to look at the bright moon, and lower your head to think of home'."
These two sentences were very straightforward, and Qing Luan also understood it immediately. These two famous lines that had been sung for thousands of years couldn't help but touch her heart even more, and the desolation on her face became even more intense.
Xu Xian was a little regretful. It wasn't easy to make her laugh, and now she was reciting some lousy poem.
If Li Bai was alive, he would probably express his strong dissatisfaction.
Xu Xian suddenly thought of something and said, "I'll give you something as an apology for the First Snow."
Qing Luan said, "Oh." She didn't really like it. Other people had given her a lot of gold, silver, pearls, and jade.
Xu Xian took out the book Yan Chixia gave him, "Mr. Ape Fencing Painting", and gave it to Qing Luan. He said, "This is a peerless martial art given to me by an expert."
He had already memorized the painting. He gave the Qinghong sword to Pan Yu, so it was useless to keep this book with him. He just kept it with him as a souvenir.
When Qing Luan heard the word "martial art," she was a little interested, but she automatically filtered out the word "peerless." Eldest Young Master Xu was someone who wanted to cultivate to become an immortal.
