A life of leisure is worse than a life of flowers and splendour
Chapter 96 Birthday
After changing into the Divine Breath Cloak, Master Wushuang rushed back to Xiaoyao Peak to find his master.
"Master, can you help me see if these things can be repaired?" As he said this, he picked up the pile of things, some of which were missing parts, or had cracks, or were broken into several sections, and there was even the alchemy furnace that was broken into pieces.
Xuan Cheng Zhenjun took a look and picked out some that were relatively intact. "These can still be repaired. The rest can be melted and the useful things inside can be refined and used again. These are all good things. The worst ones are spiritual weapons. However, some of them are too high-level and it may be difficult to repair them with the current level of refining in the world of immortal cultivation. But you can go to Kunlun Sect to find their Supreme Elder Yan Xiao Zhenzun and try. He is currently the person with the highest level of refining in the world of immortal cultivation in Tianyuan Continent. He once refined a king weapon. Maybe he has a way. It just so happens that Master wants to find him to refine your life-saving magic weapon for you. "I'll let him show you, but refining your own magical treasure takes quite a while. You might not be able to return from the Daoist Four Great Sects Competition this time, so let your senior brother accompany you! Remember to protect yourself. Ranking doesn't matter, safety comes first!" Master was quite confident in himself. Although he was only at the middle stage of the Golden Core Realm, he could defeat most late-stage Golden Core Realms without using his trump cards in the arena and only exerting 80% of his strength. Therefore, Wushuang Zhenren was quite confident in himself. He just didn't expect that Master was so confident that he could participate in the Four Great Sects Competition without even seeing him in action.
"Master, I, I really need a chance to have divination by the head of Tianji Pavilion. My parents are missing. If there is a chance, I will try my best to get it." This was the original owner's obsession. Although it had no effect on himself, he occupied someone else's body, gained a new life, and even had the honor to embark on the path of cultivating immortals. He felt that he owed the other person something, so he had to fight for it if there was a chance.
"Your parents, how did they disappear?"
"I'm not entirely sure about that. My father was Du Anbang. He sent me home to my grandfather a few days after I was born, and I never saw them again. I don't even know who my mother is. I only know that my father also came to the world of immortal cultivation, but I know nothing else." The name Wushuang was supposedly given to me by my mother. Also, there's a very faint character for "Phoenix" on the inside of the ring, which I discovered while playing with it after my cultivation. It's so subtle that if I hadn't already cultivated, I wouldn't have seen it. But the Feng family is said to be a hermit family, and even my own master wouldn't dare mention it.
"There's a Wanfeng Building in the black market where you can get a lot of secret information. They claim that as long as you have spirit stones, there's nothing they can't find out. You should go there first and try it. But when you enter the black market, be careful and have your senior brother accompany you the whole time."
"Okay, thank you Master."
"Master, fellow apprentices, and your family are like this. You don't need to be so polite. You'll get used to it. If you have any problems, please seek help from your fellow apprentices and master. We'll do our best to help you solve any problem we can." As the saying goes, once a teacher, always a father. What he didn't mention is that in the world of immortal cultivation, a teacher is often closer than one's biological parents. Of course, this can't be generalized; it depends on the individual. Not all teachers are good teachers, just like not all parents are good parents.
"Okay, Master." Master Wushuang nodded happily.
Wushuang Zhenren planned to ask his eldest senior brother when he was free to accompany her to the black market. He didn't know where the black market was, or how far it was. The eldest senior brother quickly replied, saying he was busy and would take her there in two days. The black market wasn't far away; every sect had a black market not far from its market town, and every black market had a Wanfeng Building. Furthermore, there was an auction in the black market in two days, followed by another at the Duobao Pavilion in the market town. That would be a perfect time to take her there and see the world.
Wushuang Zhenren was very happy to receive the news. It was an auction, and he heard there were a lot of treasures! Before he even landed, he noticed a Du family guard standing in front of his courtyard. He didn't have a food box in his hand. Did Grandpa want to see him for something? Thinking of this, he asked, "Is Grandpa looking for me for something?"
"Miss, the old general asked me to invite you over for dinner."
"Oh, okay, I'll go right over with you."
Wushuang followed the guards to the courtyard where his grandfather lived, only to find that not only his grandparents were there, but his second uncle's family was also there. Speaking of which, ever since his second uncle's family went to Bishui Peak, Wushuang hadn't seen him again. His second uncle also had his own Taoist name - Lianjing Zhenren. He said that his master hoped that he would not need to show off his talents, but be a person as quiet as still water.
The table was filled with sumptuous dishes, a large bowl of longevity noodles, and even beautiful longevity peaches, lucky bags, and noodle fish. It was obviously a birthday celebration! Whose birthday was it? Wushuang Zhenren was thinking about when Grandpa and the Du family’s birthdays were.
"Shuang'er, happy birthday!" the whole family said in unison.
Ah? It's me! Wushuang realized that today was her birthday. She was so moved that her eyes were wet. "Thank you, I forgot that today is my birthday."
"Yeah, these past few years, either the conditions didn't allow it or you were too busy to find me. This year, I finally got to celebrate your birthday, haha."
"Yeah yeah!"
Everyone sat together, enjoying the food and laughing.
On the table lay a number of ingredients Wushuang had provided herself. The spirit beast space within her Duobao Bracelet had been completely transformed into a breeding ground. Aside from the Earth Armor Beast, which was only occasionally consumed by her family, all the other suitable spirit beasts she'd captured in the secret realm, including some delicacies, were also raised there. Fortunately, there were creatures that could survive underground, on the ground, and in the air. Even if they landed, they could still be found in the trees, making the most of the space. If it hadn't been expanded significantly, the space would have been incredibly crowded.
If the Du Family Restaurant runs out of spiritual beast meat, Wushuang will have to provide some. However, the things she takes out are mainly for her family to enjoy. Monkey wine is too rich in spiritual energy for Old Man Du, and he only takes a sip occasionally to satisfy his craving. He also brews his own wine with spiritual fruits or spiritual rice, adding a little monkey wine as a guide. The wine he brews has a unique flavor and is deeply loved by many wine lovers. It is in short supply. The old man has been making a lot of money in recent years. He even wanted to open a tavern in the market at the foot of the mountain, but was stopped by everyone. Monkey wine is limited, and ordinary spiritual wine may not be so attractive at that time, so the old man finally gave up the idea.
Wushuang has a lot of jade crystal ginseng in his hands, and he also grows it. Mainly because of the earth armor beast, there will be an endless supply of jade crystal ginseng. Wushuang suggests that if the old man really can't sit still, he can study some health-preserving spiritual food, specifically for high-end customers. Anyway, there is enough jade crystal ginseng, as long as he doesn't lose money, it's better to make money.
The sect's dining hall had previously invited Grandpa and his family to move over, offering them a window for free, but Grandpa had declined. Moving there was close enough for cultivators, but for them, it was several hills away, a long, long journey over mountains and ridges. If the family wanted to see each other, they could only wait for their sons and grandchildren to find them.
At the birthday party, Wushuang made a new discovery: the communication stone could actually record videos just like WeChat, and there were also sect platforms and various other platforms for posting information. The old man and his family frequently posted information on the sect platform, such as new products, videos of making spiritual food, and when business was slow, they would post pictures of their food. They could also take pre-orders, making it incredibly convenient. You could even link your ID card to directly transfer points. You could also post information on it, such as what you were buying or selling. The ID card was linked to Second Uncle Du's, and the old man explained that it was used to keep accounts, and that any profits would be divided equally between the two families.
Wushuang had no shortage of spirit stones, a lot of points, and even more treasures. She originally didn't want any of them, but the old man got angry.
"No, brothers should settle accounts clearly. What you usually show me as filial piety is what you show me as filial piety, and what I give you must also be accepted. I strive to treat both sons equally, so that neither of you will suffer any loss or be wronged."
Wushuang didn't say anything more. The old man was the boss, and whatever he said was what it was.
The family ate, drank and chatted. Although they had not been together for a long time, they quickly became familiar with each other. This is probably the feeling of blood connection between relatives.
Wushuang hadn't advanced in his cultivation in the past few years, but everyone in Uncle Du's family, with the exception of Uncle Du, had made progress. His cousin had already reached the Core Formation stage, his aunt was in the middle stage of the Foundation Establishment stage, and his cousin was still in the early stages. Regardless of their cultivation level, everyone was in a good mood.
During the discussion, they discussed the grand competition between the four major Taoist sects. They had previously discussed it on the communication stone, but this time, everyone was trying to dissuade Wushuang from participating. The main reason was that, while her reputation as a genius was known only within the sect, there was no such thing as a flawless wall, and the moment she showed up, everyone would know. A genius who didn't grow up was nothing, and there was no guarantee that someone wouldn't become jealous and even choose to eliminate her to prevent her from growing and threatening their own interests. These people might not only be hostile demonic forces, but even members of the Dao Sect. As the saying goes, there are no permanent enemies or friends, only permanent interests.
Everyone knew that the divination from the Pavilion Master of Qianji Pavilion was something everyone wanted, and they needed it too, but the person in front of them was more important. In fact, if the master allowed it, Uncle Du would have wanted to go alone. If it was his niece, he always felt that it was because he, as an elder, had not done a good job that his niece had to rush ahead.
Wushuang understood everyone's thoughts and agreed with them. So she wanted to go to the black market first. If Wanfenglou in the black market could find out some information, she wouldn't have to take the risk herself.
After hearing about Wanfeng Building, everyone agreed that it was safer to go there, and they could hide their identities without worrying about the risks of exposing their identities.
