Traveling through the Immortal Realm: Starting from Becoming a Top-Level Furnace Cauldron

Mist grass!

Lu Yuguan's hair stood on end.

I saw a clump of foxtail grass rustling, and a woman with her hair covered with grass debris emerged.

The person was wearing a scarlet skirt and had sharp eyebrows and eyes, but the moment he saw Lu Yuguan, his eyes widened.

"Brother Lu?"

"Chen Xian?"

Lu Yuguan almost bit his tongue.

Although the person in front of me was wearing rouge, there was no mistaking her nonchalant look.

"Why are you here!?"

"Shouldn't I be the one asking this?"

"You speak first."

"You speak first!"

Chen Xian's face flushed red, and after a while he said, "Shit."

Lu Yuguan: ...

Chen Xian: ...

"Together?"

"Come over here."

The two men squatted in the grass, looking at each other.

Lu Yuguan stared at the suspicious bulge on Chen Xian's chest and asked, "Is there something stuffed in his clothes?"

Chen Xian glanced at him and said, "Zhou Zhou sewed the flour bag into the lining, but you——"

He narrowed his eyes and looked at Lu Yuguan's attire.

"Old profession?"

"Tsk!"

"What nonsense are you telling the truth?"

Lu Yuguan slapped his hand away and suddenly caught a glimpse of the bandage wrapped around Chen Xian's wrist.

"Is your wrist injury healed yet?"

"Didn't you say you were going to the North to heal your injuries?"

"Why are you here?"

Chen Xian looked around and said, "It's a long story... There's no doctor in the North who can treat it..."

"I heard from Zhou Zhou that there are some extraordinary tricks, and there is also the appearance of the Crane Continent's fairy-quality colorful lotus, so he brought me here to try my luck."

"Where's Brother Lu?"

"If you're not cultivating in Xuanyu Sect, what are you doing in Zhongdu?"

Lu Yuguan rubbed his hands awkwardly: "Well..."

"I originally wanted to refine a pill, get some herbs, and leave... but I accidentally nearly got the sect wiped out."

Chen Xian:?

Listen, is this human language?

"I came to Hezhou to help," Lu Yuguan tapped his butt. "Do you remember that the prince had a maidservant?"

Chen Xian frowned: "It seems there is...what's it called?"

"Miao'er."

"Oh, I remember now."

Lu Yuguan continued, "It is said that Miao'er is not an orphan. Her life experience is closely related to the Yao family."

"No way?"

Chen Xian was shocked. "Zhongdu and Dongxuan Continent are so far apart. How did she get there?"

Lu Yuguan said helplessly: "I don't know about that. Anyway, we have to find a way to let Miao'er meet the Yao family."

"Whether it's true or not, there has to be an answer."

Chen Xian couldn't help but sigh: "That's true."

"Oh, right," Lu Yuguan thought, "since you're lurking in the Yao family, have you ever heard anyone tell you what this year's theme is?"

"Tsk, what you said..." Chen Xian said with disdain, "We were selected based on our strength!"

Lu Yuguan was speechless and reached out to squeeze the flour bag.

"Is this all my strength?"

Chen Xian was anxious: "Be gentle, don't crush it."

"Want to beg for mercy?" Lu Yuguan snorted, "Tell me the title first."

Chen Xian pushed his hand away, looked around, and made sure no one was watching before leaning close to his ear.

After he finished speaking, Lu Yuguan looked confused.

"That's it?"

"correct."

"Does uncle know?"

"What?"

"You recognize me as your father."

"Damn it, who recognizes you as their father!?"

Chen Xian was so angry that he couldn't say anything. "I meant the domineering 'Ba'!"

Lu Yuguan scratched his ears and asked, "Are you sure you heard it right?"

"I'm sure," Chen Xian said helplessly, "it was because of this word that the eldest daughter of the Yao family accepted Zhou Zhou and me."

Seeing the other party's serious face, Lu Yuguan dispelled his doubts.

"Just be a tyrant."

“This year’s competition is quite exciting.”

Chen Xian said, "Indeed, they are all a group of girls with delicate clothes and delicate hands. How can they dominate others?"

"do not care."

"Those ladies should make their own arrangements."

Lu Yuguan shook his head and stretched out his hand to him: "Do you have any toilet paper?"

Chen Xian stared at him in confusion, "Why are you squatting down without any paper?"

"People have three urgent needs."

Lu Yuguan took a deep breath and said, "I was planning to take some back and throw a couple of them on the guard's face."

Chen Xian's face twitched.

Such a heroic tone, coupled with the pure face under the ice silk gauze.

It seems inappropriate no matter how you look at it.

"Wait."

Lu Yuguan suddenly interrupted.

Chen Xian:?

"Give me a hand after you finish wiping. My legs are numb from squatting for so long." Lu Yuguan said in a deep voice.

Chen Xian: ...

When Lu Yuguan returned to the Wei family pavilion, it was almost dusk. His skirt was stained with a few grass leaves, making him look somewhat disheveled.

Wei Xiangyuan was leaning against the window teasing Xiao Zhima. Seeing his miserable appearance, she frowned slightly and asked, "Are you going to the Yao family to explore the way, or are you rolling around in the mud?"

"Fortunately, I have fulfilled my mission!" Lu Yuguan said seriously.

Wei Xiangyuan's pupils shrank, and she said, "Jing'er, come closer and tell me quietly."

Lu Yuguan wiped his face and said in a low voice:

"Ba!"

"..."

Seeing the other party stunned, Lu Yuguan explained again: "It's the 'Ba' of overbearing."

Wei Xiangyuan frowned: "Are you sure?"

"Absolutely true!"

"I ran into someone behind the Yao family's wall... ahem, I ran into someone taking a shit. He heard what the eldest daughter of the Yao family said with his own ears!"

Lu Yuguan was so excited when he spoke that he picked up the cup on the table and took a gulp.

"puff!"

"Why is this tea salty?"

Miao Er poked her head out from behind the screen and said timidly, "That's the medicine for Miss's face..."

Wei Xiangyuan placed her hands on her brows and paced back and forth in the room.

outside the window.

The lotus pond rippled with light, reflecting her profile in a flickering manner.

"Ba? ...There are really a lot of variables this year."

She lowered her head and pondered, "In previous years, we only competed in music, chess, calligraphy and painting. I wonder what else they will do this year."

"Miss, do you have any solutions?" Lu Yuguan asked.

Wei Xiangyuan shook her head. "If that's the real reason, with so many guards in the Yao family, they can create a sense of dominance just from their aura."

"It seems that this year, the Wei family may not be able to win the first prize."

Lu Yuguan pushed the salty tea to the corner: "How about... I help the young lady think of a solution?"

"you?"

Wei Xiangyuan cast a suspicious look.

Lu Yuguan boasted, "Miss, if you believe me, I guarantee that on the day of the competition, I will call you—"

"Ba, Qi, Side, Leak!"

-

The day before the competition, by the Lotus Pond.

"'Ba'? How can we compare this?"

"In previous years, it was always 'elegant' or 'soft', why is it so rough this year?"

As soon as the topic was announced, the pavilion in Lianhuatang suddenly exploded.

The beauties from each family clutched the papers with worried looks on their faces. Some of them were so anxious that they stamped their feet and almost stepped on the hem of their skirts.

Wei Xiangyuan stood in front of the window holding the question paper, sighing continuously.

Lu Yuguan squatted aside and ate a watermelon, the juice splashing all over the floor: "Miss, what are you panicking about?"

"Didn't you already know it was the word 'Ba'?"

"What if I had known earlier?"

Wei Xiangyuan was helpless, "The Yao family must have been prepared in advance, you see——"

She pointed to the Yao family pavilion on the opposite bank.

Dozens of black-clad guards stood in line, each holding a long sword and looking murderous.

Yao Yue'er, dressed in a crimson outfit, stood in front of the formation. She raised her hand and waved it, and the guards roared in unison, causing the lotus pond to ripple.

"Oh my goodness...are you planning a rebellion?"

Lu Yuguan couldn't help but gasp and spit out the watermelon seeds, "But I'm not a vegetarian either!"

He wiped his mouth and pulled out a scroll from his sleeve. "According to your temperament, I have designed a set of clothes. I will rush to make it today and it will be delivered to you tonight!"

Wei Xiangyuan looked at the crooked graffiti on the scroll and held her forehead with her hand, saying, "Jing'er..."

"Are you sure this is Tyranny, not Epilepsy?"
