Madam, please respect my profession.

Chapter 159: Be my mount? Save hundreds of years of detours

Summer nights are particularly beautiful, with a crescent moon hanging on the treetops, clear streams rumbling in the dry pond, fireflies hiding in the flowers, and stars lighting up in the deep night.

“Gulp…Gulp…”

The red oil hotpot is already boiling and bubbling, and the fresh, spicy aroma is spreading in the wind.

Lu Zhan held the chopsticks and ate the hot meat. The delicious and tender taste exploded in his mouth, and he squinted his eyes in enjoyment.

As the saying goes, there is nothing in the world that can't be solved by a hotpot meal. If there is, then have two meals.

"Is it delicious?" Xiao Que'er stared at the pot eagerly, drooling continuously, but did not dare to pick up his chopsticks.

The little goblin was still wearing aqua green clothes, and her waist-length black hair was not tied into a bun, but was draped softly behind her head. Her small face was fair and tender without any makeup, and the appearance of a hot pot was reflected in her big round eyes, and her small face was deeply wrinkled.

"Of course it's delicious. Toad meat is very precious." Lu Zhan glanced at her and said, "Why don't you eat it?"

Perhaps it was because of the Qin family incident that made him feel a little depressed, or perhaps it was because of that conversation, or perhaps it was because of the weighing of interests among the aristocratic families. In short, he was not feeling happy.

As the market was busy today, he saw a vendor selling toads, and on a whim he bought a few pounds to take home for hot pot, and paired it with the spiritual herbs stolen by the little loli to make a red oil base, which was fresh, spicy and delicious.

After eating hotpot, many things become clear to me.

In fact, he didn't take the old man Qin's words to heart. It was just a difference in stance.

What he felt ridiculed was probably the calculation "under the guise of love", but this was also because of the different standpoints, so he did not comment too much. If that was the case, why should he feel unhappy?

We are here in this world to live happily, why bother yourself with trivial matters?

As for the relationship with Xiao Chu, there is no need to deal with it deliberately, as the future is unpredictable. However, he knows very well that even if he and Xiao Chu become strangers in the future, he will not forget Xiao Chu's help when he was in humble circumstances.

This is the principle of being a human being, nothing else matters.

After thinking all this through, everything became clear to me. I felt that this night was very beautiful and everything in the universe was within my sight.

But the goblin's sad look made him laugh a little.

"Toads are ugly. I won't eat them."

The Skylark King stuck his butt out, lay over the table, stared at it eagerly, and swallowed instinctively.

Lu Zhan picked up a piece of food with chopsticks and put it in her bowl: "There are so many spiritual herbs in the bottom of the pot, which is good for a little demon like you. Try it."

Toad meat is very delicious, even more delicious than bullfrogs and frogs, but it is not very popular because it contains toxins.

He was a little greedy because of the two toad spirits, but the meat of the toad spirits had to be used to make pills, so he could only buy ordinary toads to satisfy his craving.

After the toxins are extracted, it becomes very delicious to eat and has aphrodisiac effects.

Lu Zhan rarely eats it, so he just happened to try it today and it was indeed delicious.

"I don't want to..." Xiao Que frowned and shook her head, but her saliva kept flowing.

"You even eat bugs, and you're still afraid of this?" Lu Zhan looked at her conflicted look, raised his eyebrows and smiled.

"I can't possibly eat it anyway." The goblin said with a serious expression: "Even if I starve to death, I don't want to eat something so disgusting."

...

A quarter of an hour later.

"It's delicious."

The Skylark King clumsily picked up a large piece of tender meat from the pot with chopsticks, dipped it in the oil dish and put it into his mouth.

The flavor of the meat slices melted in his mouth, and the little goblin's big round eyes immediately narrowed into crescent shapes, and his cheeks bulged.

Lu Zhan: “…”

Sure enough, no one can escape the law of true fragrance, not even fairies.

"I'm going to the East China Sea in half a month. Do you want to come with me?"

Lu Zhan thought about going to the East China Sea Fairy Island for training and asked casually.

Yun Que blinked and pointed to the south: "Is the East China Sea over there?"

"That's south..." Lu Zhan said helplessly: "You are a bird, how come you can't tell east from west, south from north?"

The Skylark King muttered softly: "If I could tell east, west, south, and north, would I still live here..."

She had migrated to Jinling earlier, but when it was time to leave, she found that she had forgotten the direction home and her companions had all left.

She didn't want to go to other places alone, and was afraid of migrating in the wrong direction, so she settled down under this ginkgo tree and has lived there for many years.

Hearing the word "East China Sea"... King Skylark chewed his words and suddenly said, "Hey, my old home seems to be near the East China Sea..."

"Hmm?" Lu Zhan became interested: "So you are from the East China Sea? Which part of the East China Sea?"

“I can’t remember…” King Skylark rolled his eyes: “Do you still remember what happened when you were one year old? Although I am gifted, I am also one or two hundred years old.”

"Then you remember your name."

"Of course I remember my name... I am the most powerful bird within a ten-mile radius. They all listen to me. I am the king."

"Uh huh huh..."

Lu Zhan picked up a piece of meat with chopsticks and blocked King Skylark's mouth, not wanting to listen to her chatter.

...

After eating hot pot, the stars are shining brightly.

The haze in Lu Zhan's heart was swept away, and his mood was comforted by the food. He felt full of energy and simply began to practice diligently.

He immersed his spiritual consciousness into the sea of ​​​​consciousness to inspect, and saw that the two spirits were practicing hard. He couldn't help but feel satisfied. Suddenly, an idea flashed in his mind and a bolder idea emerged.

As we all know, practitioners are able to practice dual cultivation.

So can two souls practice dual cultivation? If two souls can practice dual cultivation, wouldn’t the cultivation speed be faster?

However, the primordial spirit does not have any self-awareness, which means that if two primordial spirits really want to practice dual cultivation, he needs to control it himself.

"It seems like I am practicing dual cultivation with myself, which is a bit weird..."

Lu Zhan coughed twice, thinking that this idea was a bit abnormal, but it was very feasible.

Unfortunately, apart from him, no one has ever possessed two souls, and no one has practiced dual cultivation of souls.

In order to avoid any accidents, Lu Zhan did not act rashly and waited to observe the situation the next day before making a decision.

After regaining his consciousness, Lu Zhan took out the laurel bell.

After being refined by blood and energy, the ghost turned black all over, with a green face and fangs, and was filled with murderous aura.

The ghost was extremely dissatisfied with her current situation, which was completely different from what she had imagined, but she had no room for resistance and could only allow herself to be refined by blood and energy.

"According to this, the cruelty of the ghosts may be beyond our expectations..."

The ghost minions can be put into the Supreme Ghost Den to operate, which means that there is one more general in the Supreme Ghost Den.

When he goes to the East China Sea, he can use the Supreme Ghost Den when necessary, and then use the ghost minions to dominate the ghost den, trapping other cultivators in it, and then he can pick up the treasures of heaven and earth.

Thinking of this, Lu Zhan showed a satisfied smile.

The only regret is that the weapons and armor he asked the Ghost Fire Palace to forge require forty-nine days to be refined, otherwise he would have two more cards in his hand.

"But it's still okay for now. Even if we can't get deep into the hinterland, there shouldn't be any opponents on the periphery..."

Although righteous practitioners rarely kill each other, that is because they do not compete for interests.

In this kind of island adventure, countless cultivators die every year. They may be brothers today, but stabbed in the back tomorrow.

Lu Zhan had thousands of thoughts in his mind, but in the end, they all came to nothing, and he began to concentrate on practicing.

Now that his software has soared, his state of mind is somewhat constrained. He needs to integrate his consciousness with the earth every day and feel the power of nature.

This is also one of the ways to temper your mind and spiritual consciousness.

...

"babble-"

At dawn in the morning, a slight cry woke Lu Zhan from his meditation.

He opened his eyes and saw a white shadow floating in front of him. It turned out to be a flying crane often used by Taoist practitioners to send messages.

Someone wrote him a letter, which came from Xiuyinfang in Hangzhou.

Lu Zhan opened the envelope and took a look, his brows relaxed.

The letter was naturally from Jiang Jiang. It was two long pages long and contained extensive writing, describing recent events.

Jiang Jiang has already started practicing the Purple Qi Bu Tian Jue, and claims that this technique is very difficult, but very powerful after mastering it.

Even if one of your arms is chopped off, the Purple Qi Bu Tian Jue can be used to compare the other side and repair an identical arm.

Even if there is only one drop of essence and blood left, as long as the spiritual consciousness is on this drop of essence and blood, the body can theoretically be replenished.

This can be said to be the most magical method among all the magical methods.

The reason why Xiuyinfang has been able to stand firm for so many years, besides because of its owner Gongsun Xianyin, is also because of Jiang Ningshuang's master, Mr. Tingyu.

Although Mr. Tingyu is a night doctor, he is the senior elder of Xiuyinfang, which is famous for its martial arts, because her Purple Qi Bu Tian Jue is very powerful.

However, because the technique was so powerful, it was also more difficult to learn, so she complained a lot to Lu Zhan.

In addition, the letter mentioned things about the East China Sea.

The birth of the fairy island in the East China Sea has attracted the attention of many immortal sects. Many young disciples will go there for training. The exploration of the fairy island is different from that of the secret realm. There is no secret operation. Jiang Jiang asked him to pay attention to safety.

Because she is preparing to go into seclusion and will not go to the East China Sea, they will not be able to take care of each other.

The letter also mentioned that the gate of the Yunshui Sect is located in Qiwu Mountain, east of the East China Sea, and perhaps Ling Jiaoyue would go there.

Finally, he said many heartfelt words, expressing his longing for the Skylark King.

After reading the whole article, Lu Zhan understood three key points.

First: Jiang Jiang has to go into seclusion and cannot come out for a short period of time.

Second: Jiang Jiang guessed that he would go to the East China Sea, and while reminding him to be careful, she also reminded him to stay away from Ling Jiaoyue.

Third: Her thoughts were overwhelming.

Lu Zhan looked at the letter and even imagined Jiang Jiang sitting by the stained glass window, swinging her little feet while writing a letter seriously.

After pondering for a moment, Lu Zhan walked into the study to reply.

"My dear Jiang Jiang, it's like meeting you..."

"I have received your letter. I am grateful for your concern and am overwhelmed with joy..."

Lu Zhan chatted with her about recent events and also briefly mentioned the trip to the East China Sea, but he deliberately avoided Ling Jiaoyue and ended with a look of longing.

In order to express his sincere longing, Lu Zhan plucked a hair from the Skylark King and stuffed it into the letter.

"So why don't you tuck your hair in?"

The Skylark King shook his feathers and looked at Lu Zhan warily, feeling very heartbroken.

Lu Zhan said seriously: "My hair? This is inappropriate..."

"Hmph!" The Skylark King snorted, and folded his wings flexibly around his chest, and said proudly: "This king never sheds his feathers, and the surrounding birds envy me. I didn't expect you to pluck my feathers. You have to compensate me for my feathers!"

"I'll compensate you well..." Lu Zhan gave her a handful of sunflower seeds produced by the sunflower spirit.

The little goblin immediately smiled and went to eat melon seeds with her little feet crossed.

After packing the letter, Lu Zhan mailed it out, thinking in his heart that he should also learn this kind of letter-mailing magic.

So as to avoid having to send express delivery every time.

...

At 1:00 am, after Lu Zhan checked in at the Demon Suppression Bureau, he came to the case room to receive a new demon case.

After the matter of the Hehuan Sect was resolved, he had nothing to do for the time being, so he focused his attention on raising his second child.

"Captain Lu is truly a man of high character. Even though he is about to go to the East China Sea for training, he still remembers to eliminate harm for the people."

When Old Zhou saw Lu Zhan coming over, he smiled in praise.

Lao Zhou works in the case room and knows the situation of each team best. For example, Captain Xue Feng from next door rarely handles cases himself and basically leaves them to his subordinates. This seems reasonable, but in fact it is laziness and he has no hope of promotion.

Lu Zhan is still the best, he does many things himself... Lao Zhou gives Lu Zhan a high evaluation in his heart.

Lu Zhan waved his hand: "No, no... Are there any cases in the Mysterious Realm? No night doctor is needed."

Night Doctor's cases are full of lucrative cases, but the probability of encountering a monster is not high. At this critical time when raising a second child, Lu Zhan does not want to deal with such cases.

Lao Zhou took out a wooden stick and whispered, "Take a look at this? This is a new case that came in yesterday. I think it would be best to hand it over to Captain Lu."

Lu Zhan took it and took a look, and saw that it said: Luofeng Mountain Black Bear.

"This was discovered by the herbalists of Luofeng Mountain. They originally found several high-quality spiritual herbs in the mountain, but when they approached, they were attacked by a black bear. In the end, only one pharmacist escaped with serious injuries and reported the incident to the Demon Suppression Bureau."

What Lao Zhou said is very clear.

This is not only a demon case, but also involves spiritual medicine. If this case can be solved, those top-grade spiritual medicines will naturally be in the bag.

Like spiritual fruits, spiritual medicines have always been scarce for ordinary practitioners. They can not only enhance true Qi, but can also be used to make pills, which is of great benefit to practitioners.

"Thank you. If I really get these elixirs, I'll make you a pot of wine to try." Lu Zhan said with a smile.

"Okay, okay... The old black bear should be the demon beast guarding the elixir, and its strength is not weak." Lao Zhou reminded: "Be careful."

Lu Zhan picked up the wooden sign: "Don't worry."

After leaving the Demon Suppression Bureau, he went home, took Little Skylark with him, and went to Luofeng Mountain together.

The little goblin has always wanted to see the world, but he didn't dare to fly too far for fear of not being able to recognize the way home.

This time Luo Fengshan just happened to bring her along to join in the fun.

...

Blue sky, white clouds, green mountains and clear water, and a gentle breeze blowing under the scorching sun.

Luofeng Mountain belongs to Jinling, but it is very far away from the main city of Jinling. Lu Zhan did not ride a donkey, but used Yichenxubu to travel.

Lu Zhan looked at Xiao Que'er standing on his shoulder with her head held high and asked quietly, "Do you feel that I actually lack a mount?"

He suddenly felt that they were in the wrong position.

"Really?" The little bird raised its wings and scratched its head, looking around with its round little head: "Hey, I remember you had a donkey before."

"I don't want to ride a donkey now." Lu Zhan looked at her with a smile: "You are getting stronger and stronger now, have you ever thought about other lifestyles?"

"for example?"

"For example, you can save yourself a few hundred years of detours and become my mount."

King Skylark was instantly alert: "You want to ride on me?"

"Don't be so rude." Lu Zhan said with a smile: "How can it be riding? It's riding, there is a fundamental difference between the two."

"Don't try to fool me." The Skylark King immediately returned to his usual middle school temperament: "I am the king of birds in a radius of dozens of miles. Wouldn't it be embarrassing for me to be your mount?"

Lu Zhan glanced at her and took her off his shoulders: "Then fly by yourself."

The little goblin suddenly became anxious: "???"
