Xiuxian Work Log

Chapter 169 Storytelling Contest

"Go to the Southern Sect..."

Five people sat in a circle around the campfire, using tables and chairs taken out of the storage bag, on which were placed the fragrant delicacies made by Yan Yang.

Chen Xuelan: "You can ask Yan Yang about this. I heard that he was almost chosen by his family to go to the Southern Sect. But later on, his father couldn't give money as well as other families, so he didn't go to the Southern Sect."

Yan Yang still had a strong desire to join the Southern Sect, and he talked more.

"I've heard my father tell me before about the Southern Sect, located on an isolated island at the junction of the Water Elephant Kingdom, the Golden Butterfly Kingdom, and the Dragon Pearl Kingdom. The leader of the sect ordered Optimus Prime to suspend the entire island in the air, obscured by a fairy mist so that mortals could not see it. At that time, the Yan family had few descendants, so they had one remaining spot to give to a branch of the clan. My father had just left his family's restaurant, so he didn't have any extra savings to compete, so I didn't go to the Southern Sect. Because of this, my father often felt guilty, but I felt that he didn't need to be too sad, because I knew he was doing it for my own good."

Hua Congnan comforted Yan Yang: "If we can't go, we can just go to another sect."

Liu Feiyu looked at Lin Qingyue and said, "But I think Miss Lin's strength should allow her to enter the Southern Sect. Coincidentally, Miss Lin is also at the Foundation Establishment stage. If she is more talented in drawing talismans, she might be able to earn back the spirit stones she paid for entry in a year."

The Shangnan Sect only accepts disciples with Foundation Establishment cultivation and above. Because the Northern Province is rich in spiritual energy, it is as easy for ordinary disciples from aristocratic families to reach Foundation Establishment as drinking water. However, whether or not they can break through to Foundation Establishment is another matter.

Chen Xuelan raised her hand: "I think so too. Sister Lin can give it a try. Maybe she can get in."

Lin Qingyue agreed casually, "I'll give it a try if I have the chance."

Because the Ye family was sensitive about the identity of Zi Yang's disciples, she couldn't tell them about her sect, so she had to agree first.

Anyway, when we get to the Water Kingdom, everyone will sell their things and divide the money. You may never see it again in this lifetime.

A dreamless night.

There were many hearses on the way to the capital of the Water Kingdom. They quickly got on a hearse and arrived at the capital of the Water Kingdom.

Lin Qingyue followed behind them, and Hua Congnan led the way in front.

Chen Xuelan suddenly came over and gave Lin Qingyue a rabbit mask.

"Yes, this is for Sister Lin."

Lin Qingyue happily accepted it, "Thank you."

She thought about it, took out the Sky Eye she made from the system space and gave it to Chen Xuelan.

"If you bind your spiritual consciousness to it, you can fly anywhere you want and record the scenes you see."

"Is it so powerful?" Chen Xuelan held Tianyan in her arms.

Lin Qingyue: "You can try it when you get back."

Hua Congnan called out to them from the front, "Miss Lin, do you want to come in with me to negotiate the price? That way it will be more fair."

Lin Qingyue thought about it and decided to go in with Hua Congnan. She thought that if the matter was resolved sooner, she could also go find Yang Zishen.

The man they were discussing this with had an ordinary face, so ordinary that you wouldn't even recognize him on the street. But Lin Qingyue knew that the material of his seemingly ordinary clothes was extraordinary. This was probably because she had seen Yang Zishen's various exquisite white clothes every day, so she knew what kind of clothes had that kind of texture.

The man named Qingyang was very generous in offering a price and bought all their items.

Hua Congnan originally thought that he would have to visit several more places, but he couldn't help but be delighted that the problem was solved in one go.

"Thank you, Master Qingyang!"

Lin Qingyue followed Hua Congnan out. After they divided the money, Lin Qingyue said goodbye.

"I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."

Hua Congnan: "Take care, Miss Lin."

Chen Xuelan: "Goodbye, Sister Lin!"

Liu Feiyu: "Have a bon voyage!"

Yan Yang: "...Goodbye."

……

The capital of the Water Kingdom was infinitely more prosperous than that of the Dragon Pearl Kingdom, with numerous shops and a constant stream of laughter. Lin Qingyue also saw a kind of pastry called Crystal Bitter Melon nearby. It tasted like bitter melon, bitter and refreshing at first, with a slightly sweet aftertaste that lasted for an hour.

“How does this pastry taste?”

The Qingyang he had just met came over, but Lin Qingyue was frightened by his sudden appearance.

Lin Qingyue laughed, "Why are you here?"

Qingyang said innocently, "The girl is so unreasonable. I've been here for quite a while, but she was the one who was staring at the cakes and didn't notice me."

After saying that, he glanced at the sword on Lin Qingyue's body, raised his eyebrows and said, "Is this sword of yours a spiritual sword?"

He covered his right wrist and pondered for a moment: "The other iron sword is not an ordinary sword, right? Can you lend it to me?"

Lin Qingyue moved a little further away from him and said with a smile, "No."

"Okay then." Qingyang pretended to give up, but in fact he reached for the scabbard on Lin Qingyue's back the next second.

"sweet dumpling."

The glutinous rice balls flew out and slapped Qingyang's dirty hands without any hesitation, causing Qingyang's hands to become red and swollen immediately.

Lin Qingyue sneered: "Did you do this on purpose? You want to get beaten, right?"

Qingyang stretched out his hand and blew on it.

"How could that be? I have no grudge against the girl. I just thought she looked kind and wanted to be friends with her. To be honest, I saw that she was extraordinary in the teahouse just now. She must have been very lucky."

Lin Qingyue: "So what are you going to say next? I predict that you will face a disaster, and if you buy my divination, you can turn the danger into safety?"

Qingyang: "This is a routine from many years ago. We don't use it anymore."

Lin Qingyue walked around him and walked forward. "I have no money. I have a child to support and I owe someone 100,000 low-grade spirit stones. Don't follow me."

Qingyang followed her slowly, "To be honest, the bitter ice crystal seeds you just ate were given to me by a pair of Meng Xing brothers half a year ago. Just like you, after eating them, you know that these bitter ice crystal seeds are bitter at first but sweet afterwards, and can keep your breath clear for half an hour. But the ones the Meng Xing brothers gave me were too sweet and didn't seem like the real thing."

Lin Qingyue: "Since they lied to you, why don't you just go find them? Why are you following me?"

She secretly increased her speed, hoping to shake Qingyang off, but the person behind her was like chewing gum, once she got stuck, she couldn't get rid of him.

Qingyang: "Although it has nothing to do with you, I can still tell you a story. I wanted to lend money to the two Meng Xing brothers to go to the Southern Sect, but I thought they disappeared after finding their biological mother."

"I originally thought they had returned to their hometown to become independent cultivators, but no one expected that I would see them again in the Shangnan Sect. I asked them how they had the money to come to the Shangnan Sect, and they said that their mother had left them some savings, which was how they were able to join the Shangnan Sect."

"Girl, isn't that strange? How could two poor boys with a mother who was sold be able to afford the entrance fee to the Southern Sect?"

Lin Qingyue thought to himself, "What are the names of the two Meng Xing brothers?"

Qingyang smiled: "The girl finally asked this question."
