I built the Jade Capital with the Netherworld

Chapter 146 Good Fate and the Giant Whale

The inheritance and understanding of the Great Dao have always been the most precious treasures of the Land of Nine Daos, and can only be passed on to the closest relatives and loved ones.

Zhao Danyan offered the Dragon and Tiger Danqing School's hundreds of years of enlightenment as a token of his sincerity in seeking the true scriptures, let alone the things in the box.

Looking closely, it was a strand of snow-white hair, from which one did not know what kind of mythical beast it came from. Just one glance, the natural and clear aura it emitted attracted Lu Wujiu's eyes.

However, even after taking out such a valuable item, Zhao Danyan was still extremely anxious.

Lu Wujiu, who had reached the third level of cultivation, was definitely not a fool. No matter how much he said, he could not hide the cruel fact:
——There is a problem with the inheritance of the Longhu Danqing School.

Zhao Danyan believed that her only advantage at the moment was that Lu Wujiu didn't know the extent of his missing inheritance.

In fact, his Dragon and Tiger Danqing School had no inheritance at all, so as long as he could exchange a little, he would make a profit.

At this moment, Lu Wujiu seemed to know what he was thinking. He reached out, closed the brocade box, and pushed it back.

"Fellow Taoist, this..."

Zhao Danyan’s heart almost skipped a beat... Was he rejected?
Is it necessary to return to one's roots in order to regain the true way?

"You and I share the same roots and are brothers. Wouldn't it be inappropriate for you to take these? This is the inheritance of Ran Zhen, which can be cultivated to the fifth level. Fellow Daoist, feel free to take it."

Lu Wujiu stretched out his hand and pointed at the air, leaving a little ink bead in the air and floating away.

Zhao Danyan, who was filled with sadness, saw this with dilated pupils and a look of disbelief on her face.

"How can this be so embarrassing!"

"Fellow disciples, please don't be so formal."

Lu Wujiu looked very friendly.

He was able to practice the Dao of Ranzhen, although in essence he obtained it from Danqingzi by exchanging Guangxuan's skin, it is still undeniable that this was an immortal fate derived from the Longhu Danqing School.

Since that’s the case, it’s better to make a good relationship.

"Hoohoo!"

Zhao Danyan stood up, bowed respectfully, and said in a clear voice: "Fellow Daoist, you are of high moral character. Your assistance is like timely help in times of trouble. If you need me to do anything in the future, I will go through fire and water and will not refuse even if it means death."

Lu Wujiu stood up and returned the greeting: "Daoyou are too kind!"

Hearing this, Zhao Danyan secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

If you don't seek small profits, you must have big plans.

What he was actually most worried about was that Lu Wujiu would drag him into fighting against the Fangzhong faction.

However, since someone gave him the Taoism, he could only repay it with his life, so he just said "poor Taoist" instead of "Dragon and Tiger Painting School".

Now it seems that he was worrying too much.

It is widely said in the martial arts world that Lu Wujiu is upright and honest, and today I see that his reputation is well-deserved!

With the gift of the Tao, the atmosphere between the two became more harmonious.

While they were drinking, they mentioned the Dragon and Tiger Danqing School's "Danqing Jiangshan Tu" and Lu Wujiu asked, "Daoyou, do you know where to find the Five Elements Spirit?"

Zhao Danyan raised an eyebrow, thought for a moment and said:

"This thing is quite rare. As far as I know, the Danding Sect has a Fire Spirit."

"Oh?"

"It is said that the Danding Sect uses this fire essence as the furnace fire, gathering spiritual energy from all directions and gathering fire essence from all directions for the disciples to use in refining pills."

Well! Forget about coveting such a treasure.

Lu Wujiu sighed and asked about other ways.

Apart from the Danding Sect, there are still three or five Five Elements Spirits, but they are basically controlled by famous and prestigious sects, and most of them are of great use.

Come to think of it, the Five Elements Spirits are born from the essence of the five elements. They have the innate ability to siphon spiritual energy from all directions, making them a kind of inexhaustible energy source. For the sect, they are considered a treasure passed down through generations. They would only think too little, so how could they have more to sell? "If you seek the Five Elements Spirits, I'm afraid you can only find them in the mountains, swamps, and fields. Our sect makes a living by selling scrolls and magical instruments, and we've made friends with many merchants. We're well-informed, and I think we might have some information that could help you."

Zhao Danyan did not hide anything and told everything.

For example: Someone once saw a fire unicorn in Crimson Ridge. It looked like a lion and was covered in flames. When it was discovered, it immediately turned into flames and disappeared without a trace.

Some people also found that in the vast barren mountains of Lingnan, the vegetation was extremely lush and wandering. This was either the influence of the evil plants or the result of the spiritual energy gathered by the essence of the wood element.

Some also saw a rock vein deep within the Dragon Hidden Grottoes that resembled a terrestrial dragon, likely an earth spirit. Unfortunately, they didn't bring the right tools, and when they finally returned, it had vanished. It's unknown whether it was cut off or escaped.

In short, there are many similar rumors.

But most of them are just hearsay and it is difficult to tell whether they are true or false.

However, it was the water spirit mentioned by Zhao Danyan that aroused Lu Wujiu's interest.

"Also, someone has discovered traces of a water spirit in the East China Sea. It's a giant whale, its entire body as crystal clear as glass, that often appears in various places in the East China Sea."

Lu Wujiu asked casually, "Is the news true?"

"Many fishermen have seen it, so the news should be true. However..."

Zhao Danyan changed her tone and said, "The East China Sea is vast and boundless, so it's not surprising that a water spirit is born there. However, it's also because the East China Sea is so vast that it's probably extremely difficult to even find one, let alone capture it."

Lu Wujiu nodded, looking thoughtful.

He decided to take his time and try his luck.

This was not only to protect Lao Lu Temple and Liang Yi Sect, but also to refine his own unique spiritual weapon, and to prepare for the ascension ceremony.

Especially the latter.

For him who has reached the top three, it is as difficult as climbing to the sky to make further progress.

Just look at how many fourth-class cultivators there are in the Nine Paths Land today, and you will get a glimpse of this.

Reaching the fourth level of the stairs is no longer something that can be accomplished with just a ritual!

In other words, even if there is such a ritual, the scale is extremely grand, and strength and luck are indispensable.

To be on the safe side, they would perform countless rituals to build a ladder to heaven, which is also the route chosen by most sects.

For Lu Wujiu, he could forget about the ways of demons and monsters for the time being. The Dao of Ran Zhen was of great use to the human skin book. If he could refine a spiritual weapon and incorporate the Taoist temple into it, then the entire Taoist temple would become his ritual.

With time and effort, reaching the fourth level is no longer just a pipe dream.

However, the faction in the room is eyeing him covetously. If he leaves rashly, people may become unstable.

We need to make some preparations.

Zhao Danyan noticed that Lu Wujiu was a little distracted, so after some greetings, she tactfully said goodbye and left.

After seeing Zhao Danyan off, Lu Wujiu returned alone to the bamboo forest courtyard and drank by himself.

Not long after, the sound of faint footsteps was heard.

"Disciple Jiang Wenyu, I pay my respects to the Master."

Following the sound, I saw Jiang Wenyu standing outside the yard in high spirits, bowing.

"Sit down, what's up?"

As Lu Wujiu spoke, he reached out and brushed away Zhao Danyan's teacup, replaced it with a new cup for Jiang Wenyu, and refilled it with new tea.

Jiang Wenyu was flattered and quickly stood up, his butt hanging in the air. He waited until the tea was refilled before he dared to sit down. After gathering his thoughts, he said:
"The master is a mysterious figure, but I suddenly saw him today, so I wanted to report on the situation at the nursing home."

"You're right to remind me that I should report it properly."

Lu Wujiu nodded, straightened his back, and put on an attitude of listening attentively.
