Xu Xian looked back at the way he came. Jinhua was far away, but this trip was not boring.
First, he checked the task panel. Hmm, Teacher Li's invitation. This task was completed, but there was no reward.
Why was there no reward?
The reward should have been included in the travel expenses, but now it was all in the Ning family's hands.
However, he had triggered a hidden task. With Xiaoqian's help, he received a Green Rainbow Sword, a Mr. Ape Fencing Diagram, and a female ghost.
It was really a bountiful harvest, especially that ghost. Whenever he mentioned it, he would burst into tears!
He killed a number of monsters and didn't drop any items, but he got some experience.
What? Killing ghosts gave him experience?
Of course, didn't he make further progress with his Star Constellation Study Log?
He also learned a new skill, True Sun Fire!
However, he was still on the path of cultivating Qi into Spirit. He hadn't even cultivated Yang Spirit yet, so he could only barely be called Yin Spirit.
Well, this is not a game, Xu Xian said to himself with a bitter smile.
His life had been in danger twice, especially with the lively female ghost beside him, which made him understand that this was not a game.
However, if this was a game about beautiful girls, did this mean that he had conquered the next beautiful girl? Bah, this really was not a game.
Xu Xian's mind was running wild as he stepped through the gate of Hangzhou. Xiaoqian had already hidden in the ancient jade and followed the bustling crowd, heading straight for Jintian College.
If someone looked down from above the rolling white clouds, Xu Xian's figure would be like a drop of water blending into the crowd, unable to set off any waves.
This Boundless Secular World was where the people of the secular world went.
Clothing, food, housing, and transportation, joys and sorrows, laughter and anger, everything was there.
Looking to the southwest, the vast Shu Mountain was surrounded by peaks that resembled the outline of a city. It was the secluded Qingcheng Mountain Range.
Pushing aside the white clouds that surrounded the peaks all year round, there was a tranquil lake with a thin layer of mist floating on its surface.
In the shallow part of the lake, a white chain coiled around it, swallowing and spitting out a white Inner Dan.
Suddenly, thick dark clouds rolled over the horizon with great momentum, arriving in the blink of an eye.
At a time when there should be no thunder, there was a clumsy, heavy sound of thunder.
Green and purple lightning descended from the sky with a ferocious might. However, it did not shoot like normal lightning. Instead, it accurately struck the white Neidan that had risen up.
However, the thin layer of mist above the Moon Lake did not dissipate. The white mist continued to rise and gather above the Neidan. Every time lightning flashed, it would dissipate a little, but every time it dissipated, it would immediately gather again.
The sound of thunder reverberated throughout the valley. At first, there was a break, but then it gradually became continuous.
The speed at which the white mist gathered was getting slower and slower.
Unknowingly, the dark clouds were getting lower and lower, but the lightning was actually a bit sparser. In the sea of clouds, lightning snakes were flying, and thunder dragons were dancing.
A dull sound rang out, but it didn't stop.
The entire valley was trembling.
The white chain in the lake seemed to know that it was the last moment. The white mist kept rolling, and the whole lake seemed to be boiling, trembling and surging.
The white mist was like a canopy above his inner core.
For a moment, the world held its breath.
Under the dark clouds, the valley was as dark as night. Only the occasional lightning would fall from the clouds, bringing a flash of light.
Suddenly, a ray of light pierced through the sky, resounding through the world.
The light blinded the eyes, and the sound deafened the ears.
Only the buzzing and trembling sound reverberated.
On the surface of the lake, the mist dissipated, but the Neidan shone with a white light, and there was even lightning coiling around it.
The white chain in the water leaped up and swallowed the Neidan.
This tribulation was finally over. Even with the temperament that she had cultivated for seventeen hundred years, she couldn't help but feel elated.
It swam back and forth in the water of the Moon Lake.
With a flick of its tail, the stone pillars by the lake shattered, and the plants around it fell.
It coiled around a huge stone pillar, using its strength to shed off a layer of dragon clothing.
When it leaped down from the stone pillar, it saw a naked and absolutely beautiful woman standing by the lake.
She had a faint smile on her face.
She looked at herself, her body was slim, her skin was smooth, and she felt even more satisfied.
She waved her hands towards the dragon clothing, and then turned around. The soft white clothing danced, and in the rumbling mist, she looked like a celestial.
In truth, after seventeen hundred years of cultivation, she had gone through many trials and tribulations. At this moment, she was just a step away from the Celestial Path.
She pinched her fingers and frowned. She knew that the South Ocean Avalokitesvara would soon appear at the Emei Golden Peak not far from here. She was a little proud of her divination skills, and a smile of understanding appeared on her face.
However, how could she, who was smiling now, understand that the person she was destined to be with was already standing by the West Lake and waiting for a long time?
Ten years of cultivation to cross the boat together, a hundred years of cultivation to sleep together.
Then, what she had cultivated for a thousand years, was the happiness of the world or the tribulation of the Celestial Path?
On the bank of West Lake, in the Fish Pavilion, the autumn sun shone lazily. Xu Xian also leaned lazily against the railing. Nie Xiaoqian, who was next to her, pointed at the scenery of the lake and laughed non-stop. There was no trace of hidden bitterness on her face.
Even though the scenery of the West Lake wasn't as good as it was during spring and summer, but since they hadn't seen it for decades, Xiaoqian still felt really excited.
Xu Xian felt a faint sense of peace and confidence in his heart. He should be able to give that girl such happiness!
He had a feeling that the person he was waiting for was not far away.
