The Dao dies but I live on, the spiritual energy dries up but I remain evergreen

Amidst many envious gazes, Li Changxiao went downstairs and walked towards the red boat moored by the river.

"Who is this person? I see he is wearing a sword and drinking wine, so I guess he is a famous wanderer. Does anyone know his name?"

"Humph, I am the great Liu Wei, the Seven Wind Legs Master. How could I lose to this unknown little guy? I don't accept it! Why didn't Miss Longyue choose me?"

Various complaints were heard.

Someone also called out to Li Changxiao, "Sir, I am willing to pay a huge sum of money to get your place. Can you let me get on the boat and have a chat with Miss Longyue?"

Li Chang smiled and shook his head, then walked straight onto the boat.

The famous courtesan of Lingtian City gently closed the boat curtain to block the view, and then the boat continued to move forward, gradually moving away from the crowd.

The noise faded away.

The boat is full of antique charm.

The carefully dressed up courtesan smiled at Li Changxiao, extended her hand to lead him to a seat, and poured tea and water for him.

Li Changxiao observed this woman closely and finally understood why she was so famous in Lingtian City.

She is not only a talented dancer, but also beautiful, and her slender legs are even more alluring.

"Young Master, are you a cultivator, right?" After Li Changxiao took his seat, Longyue said with a smile.

Li Changxiao nodded. The spiritual energy had only been exhausted for three hundred years, and there were still many practitioners. It was not surprising that they recognized each other.

"Speaking of which, you and I are actually half-old friends." Longyue carefully prepared the tea. Not only was she an expert in opera, but she was also a top-notch tea artist. Her movements were smooth and flowing, and pleasing to the eye.

"Oh?"

This actually aroused Li Changxiao's curiosity.

"Sir, do you recognize this thing?" Longyue took out a bag of sachets and placed it on the table.

When Li Changxiao saw this, he immediately shook his head and laughed, "Of course I remember."

At that time, he was in the deep palace, and he wanted to show his talents and attract his father's attention.

So many objects were invented.

Crossbows, sachets, soap...

This sachet that combines the fragrance of hundreds of flowers is his work.

It seems that this woman has recognized her identity.

Li Changxiao felt a little melancholy.

I didn't expect that after nearly a thousand years, there are still people in Lingtian City who remember me.

“When this item first came out, many sisters scrambled for it.” Fairy Longyue chuckled.

Li Changxiao smiled carefreely, "They are just small items. There are a lot of sachets better than these on the market now."

"Having said that, I have always only used this one." Longyue said with a smile.

Li Changxiao couldn't help but wonder, "It seems that the young lady is also a cultivator, but I don't understand one thing, how did the young lady recognize me?"

"Back in Lingtian City, I had never left the palace, and I wasn't well-known. Not to mention outside the palace, even the servants inside the palace didn't know my name."

Miss Longyue's eyes showed a look of reminiscence, her gaze fell on the river, and she said leisurely: "Winter is almost here."

"When you left, it was also in winter, right?"

Longyue's words brought Li Changxiao back to his senses.

There was a general amnesty that year.

Li Changxiao should have returned to the throne of the prince, but someone interfered and for unknown reasons, he was demoted to a commoner and exiled 30,000 miles away.

And it was chosen in winter.

The streets were empty and covered with snow. Li Changxiao was starving and cold, and he didn't even have a decent pair of shoes.

If it weren't for the Great Dream Immortal Body, he wouldn't have survived that winter.

Walking all the way out of Lingtian City from the prison, he saw such a magnificent town for the first time.

Just as he was about to leave the city, he met a woman wrapped in a fox fur coat.

It was just a quick glance at the time, and Li Changxiao lowered his head and hurried on his way.

Now thinking back, the appearance of that woman on that day was very similar to the girl Longyue in front of me.

I didn't expect that the quick glance that day would actually lay the groundwork for our meeting today.

Li Changxiao asked: "You are the one from that day..."

Longyue pushed the prepared tea in front of Li Changxiao and nodded gently, "That's right."

"Why?" Li Changxiao asked, "It should have been a thousand years, why do you still remember an unknown person like me?"

"Because I used your sachet." Long Yue said truthfully: "I was curious and wanted to take a look."

Suddenly, she smiled brightly, "Sir, can you tell me about my experiences outside these years? I have never left Lingtian City since I came here."

"What's so good about those trivial things?" Li Changxiao shook his head and looked at Longyue. "Besides, I am the guest, so shouldn't I be the one to listen? Miss Longyue, is it you who should speak?"

Long Yue said helplessly: "In that case, what do you want to hear, sir?"

Li Changxiao's eyes were deep, "Let's talk about the big and small things in Lingtian City."

……

The next day.

The red boat docked.

Li Changxiao searched all over Lingtian City and finally found an inn with two empty rooms.

But the price was a little high, so he thought about it and discussed with the merchant whether he could use a beautiful dream to offset the price.

The merchant kept sneering and was about to get angry, so Li Changxiao hurriedly took out some silver. When the merchant saw this, he immediately smiled again.

He finally settled down. As soon as he entered the room, he fell asleep and slept until noon the next day. After waking up, he just drank and wandered around.

Half a month passed in a row.

As the centenary celebration draws closer.

More and more people came to Lingtian City, including many martial artists, merchants, farmers, and even practitioners.

There is a faint feeling of wind and rain gathering.

As a popular courtesan, Longyue would appear in Hongzhoufang every few days to play little tunes.

But in the next few times, no one could get on the red boat.

That's true, she is a cultivator, so how could she look down on those ordinary people?

Lifespan alone is an insurmountable chasm.

The joy of being together day and night is already the ultimate.

The night before the centenary celebration.

A spirit bird flew to Li Changxiao's room, with a letter tied to its claws.

It was written by Longyue, saying that she wanted to talk with Li Changxiao tonight.

Li Changxiao arrived as promised. This time, the two of them took an inconspicuous gray boat and wandered in the Lingtian River.

Fresh breeze, bright moon, a lone boat, and two people.

Longyue seemed to have relaxed a lot, and told Li Changxiao that her real name was not Longyue, but Fu Tao. She changed her name to Longyue after coming to Lingtian City.

She also told Li Changxiao that the reason she liked the sachets he made was because they resembled the scent of a kind of lily of the valley.

In the conversation between the two.

A cannon shot into the sky, and with a bang, it turned into sparks all over the sky.

Li Changxiao sat at the bow, holding the Qingping sword, drinking wine, staring blankly at the fireworks, saying nothing.

The surface of Lingtian River reflects the lights of thousands of homes.

But inside, there is an undercurrent.

Fu Tao looked dazed, not knowing what he was thinking. He just asked Li Changxiao for a glass of wine, drank it in one gulp, and his eyes widened.

"It doesn't taste good," she said. "I've never tasted such bitter wine."

……

Day two.

The centenary celebrations have begun.

The whole country was jubilant, and the people had a rare three-day rest, slaughtering chickens and sheep.

There are even pubs launching activities where the person who can drink the most can get a free meal!

Li Changxiao had been waiting for this event for a long time. He waited at the door of the hotel early in the morning. As soon as the door opened, he rushed in and picked out all the expensive drinks.

The boss thought it was the winery across the street who had deliberately invited people to cause trouble.

Hundreds of civil and military officials, three thousand concubines, and the emperor of the time, took a royal ship together to enjoy the Lingtian River.

It is rumored that this imperial wheel was once an incredible magical weapon that could fly into the sky and into the ground, and could even kill cultivators in the Void Refinement Stage!

Unfortunately, as the spiritual energy dried up, the formation became ineffective and it became just an ordinary ship. However, when it sailed on the Lingtian River, it still gave people an incomparable sense of shock.

The Lingtian River is seven hundred meters wide, and the imperial wheel looks like a gigantic monster. Countless people are watching on both sides of the river.

The people-friendly official greeted both sides with a smile.

The emperor of the time stood at the bow of the ship, his robes fluttering and his majestic power overwhelming.

On such a festive day, entertainment is naturally indispensable.

Longyue's song "Qushui Lanting" was very famous, and she was specially invited to board the emperor's wheel to perform in front of hundreds of civil and military officials, three thousand concubines, and countless people on both sides.

Of course, it was the finale.
