Mysterious mirror hanging high

If it was an ordinary spiritual object for forming a pill, the ancestor of the Leng family would have given it to him, but this [Biyun Stalactite] is also among the top-grade spiritual objects for forming a pill, and it is also something that is priceless. The Biyun stalactites on the Biyun Island can only accumulate more than ten drops every hundred years. It is very precious. Even the direct descendants of the Leng family who are building their foundation have to use it carefully when forming a pill. How could they have enough to give to Song Jianxu?

But the topic was already stuck here. The Leng family ancestor opened his mouth and reluctantly said:

"Since Senior needs it, I'll give it to you... Here are five drops of [Biyun Stalactite], please accept them."

Song Jianxu held the hand of the Leng family's ancestor and said earnestly, "Five drops are too little. It's not enough to form a pill. How about eight drops?"

Cold sweat broke out on the forehead of the Leng family's ancestor. He muttered, "This...never mind, eight drops is eight drops. Senior Song's divination skills are well-known in the South China Sea. Now it seems that he is indeed a master of divination. Only these [Biyun Stalactites] are left in the clan's secret vault. Now that I have given them to Senior, there is really not a drop left!"

This time, the three of them didn't even linger for a moment and left Biyun Island directly.

"Xuan Jing, this [Biyun Stalactite] is top-notch among the water-based elixir-forming spiritual objects. I estimate that five drops are enough for one person to form an elixir. Besides forming an elixir, this spiritual object is also a precious medicine for cleansing the flesh and soul, and enhancing physical cultivation. I see that you are also cultivating your body, so if there is any left after forming an elixir, you can use it all up."

Song Jianxu handed a small porcelain bottle containing Biyun stalactite to Jing Yu and said softly:

"I don't know if you have enough spiritual objects for Dan-forming. I think you should have some prepared. But there is no such thing as too many spiritual objects. A few more are always good."

Jing Yu sighed and said quietly, "Master, why do you have to do this for me?"

Song Jianxu pulled the corners of his mouth, and the wrinkles on his face deepened. "I have always been upright and righteous all my life, and I have always been arrogant. It is okay for me to be willful at the last moment. Although it sounds a bit harsh to go around asking for money, it is a big deal for my junior to achieve Dan, so I can't care about face anymore."

"Haha, the next place we're going to is called Canxia Island. The island owner, Canxia Fairy, is also a famous female Golden Elixir master in the coastal area. When she was young, she and I shared a life-and-death friendship in the secret realm..."

Several people continued on their journey. Jindan Zhenren had strong magic power, and he was not flying at full speed, so he did not actually need to stop to recover his magic power. But after flying for half a day, Song Jianxu still felt a little exhausted, and finally landed on an island reef to rest for a few quarters of an hour.

By the time Song Jianxu and others arrived at Canxia Island, it was already evening, and they witnessed the amazing sight of the sunset over the sea.

The red setting sun gradually sank into the sea, and the red glow in the sky spread all over the sky, dyeing everything in sight with a layer of golden light.

Song Jianxu stared at the setting sun with a complicated expression, wondering what he was thinking. When the sun completely sank into the seabed, he woke up from his dream and said:

"Strange, Canxia Fairy, whose Taoist name is Canxia, ​​loves to absorb the morning and evening clouds and qi, and never misses her daily sunrise and sunset practice. Why didn't I see her leave the island to gather qi just now?"

After arriving at Canxia Island, they found that there was no golden elixir formation here. Song Jianxu led Master Black Tiger and Jing Yu to the Taoist temple on the island. They found that there was no one here except a young female nun in the Qi training stage who was sweeping the temple.

"Ouch!"

When the Qigong nun saw the Jindan-stage black tiger of Master Black Tiger, she was so frightened that she dropped the broom in her hand, her face turned pale, and she sat down on the ground.

A gentle magical power lifted her up. Song Jianxu narrowed his eyes and asked:

"Little Fairy, don't be alarmed. We are good friends of Fairy Canxia. We came to visit her, so how come we don't see her?"

The Qigong nun knew that a distinguished guest had arrived, and she bowed her head and said:

"You're looking for my real master? What a coincidence! She's been traveling and hasn't been back for several years!"

Song Jianxu frowned: "Where did he go? Will he be back?"

"My master didn't say it explicitly. He just said that it was a sudden impulse, and he had a sense of opportunity, so he went on a long journey. I think he was going to try his luck or something... As for when he will be back? There is no definite news. He might be back tomorrow, or he might not come back for ten years. How can I, a mere Qigong cultivator, say for sure?"

The Qigong nun said anxiously, "If you are not in a hurry, you can wait at Canxia Island for a while, maybe in the next few days. If you have important matters to attend to, you can leave a message for me. When you return, I will definitely let you know."

Song Jianxu didn't speak for a long time, just stood with his hands behind his back, looking melancholy.

After a long while, he finally spoke to the Qigong nun, "In that case, when Canxia comes back, tell her that an old friend came to visit, but she happened to be traveling. Due to some strange coincidence, we will never see each other again in this life!"

After saying that, he flicked his sleeves, rolled up Jing Yu with his magic power, and left Canxia Island without even looking back.

"Fellow Daoist Song, please wait!"

Master Black Tiger rode up on a black tiger, touched the smooth back of his head, and said:

"Just leave like that?"

Song Jianxu continued on his way, but his smile was a little bitter: "It's not a wandering at all, it's clearly just hiding from me!"

"Canxia doesn't want to see me because she doesn't want to get involved in this mess... well, am I not also a despicable person who wants to drag my friends into this mess?"

Master Black Tiger frowned and said, "I have a magical power that allows me to see and hear things from above. I can detect where someone is hiding and what they are doing... How about that?"

"That's all."

Song Jianxu waved his hand disinterestedly, "If Canxia is indeed hiding nearby, and your magical powers find her, it would be awkward when the two meet, and that would be embarrassing."

Jing Yu lowered his head and thought for a moment before offering words of comfort, "Master, while Fairy Canxia's actions may be intended to avert disaster, they might also be leaving some wiggle room... She's unwilling to risk her life and property for this, which is understandable. She's avoiding you precisely because she's afraid she'll have to refuse your request, which would only erode our relationship."

Song Jianxu's eyes lit up a bit more, and he nodded repeatedly upon hearing this: "That's right, that's right! After all, Canxia is a Taoist nun who practices Taoism. Naturally, she feels that after hundreds of years of friendship, why should we tear each other's faces apart for the rise and fall of our clan? In the end, can I not bear the ties of blood and family continuity... and I just don't want to!"

"Buddha-Honored One! Fellow Daoist Song, allow me to add a few words. The purpose of your Taoist practice is to be free and at ease, and to preserve your true nature. If you limit your gaze to your family and clan, how can you seek great freedom and at ease?" Master Black Tiger sighed.

"That's not what I meant." Song Jianxu said softly, "When I achieved a mid-level elixir, I knew that my path would most likely end here. So, it's actually a reversal of cause and effect. It's not because I'm confined to my family that I can't be free and unrestrained..."

"But because I can't be free and at ease, I can only set my sights on the heirs of my bloodline!"
