A Tale of Encounters with Immortals: A Peach Blossom Temple in the Martial World

The reason Hu Yunying was in such a hurry to find a man was because of a unique skill of the Lingying Sect—the Jade Maiden Yin-Yang Heart Sutra. During its cultivation, it required a husband and wife, one yin and one yang, complementing each other. Just like the yin and yang poles of Tai Chi, yin gives rise to yang, and yang gives rise to yin; yin and yang mutually generate each other, endlessly.

This is a basic requirement of the Jade Maiden Yin-Yang Heart Method.

Hu Yunying is eager to improve.

But I don't want to entrust things to others blindly. My fellow disciples are too slick and can't understand each other; the younger ones are too inexperienced, and it's not very meaningful to have to teach them by example.

Having finally met Zhang Zhengdao, he was indeed as handsome as jade, and the word "young master" naturally came out of his mouth.

They are like immortals, living a life free from worldly strife; we absolutely cannot let them go.

A thousand soldiers are easy to find, but a true lover is hard to come by!

As soon as dawn broke, Shu Baimei's soul was as if bound by some force, and suddenly dragged into the peach blossom forest. Her soul had been formed by gathering spirits in the peach blossom forest.

They disappear into the peach blossom grove during the day.

Zhang Zhengdao has also noticed this in the past two days and has studied it carefully.

The peach grove imprisoned Shu Baimei's soul, but the spiritual energy of heaven and earth gathered by the Bagua formation set up in the peach grove could also nourish her soul.

This is amazing; it's like doing scientific research, making you want to keep exploring.

Shu Baimei is truly an excellent experimental subject that has delivered itself to my door!

Zhang Zhengdao has always wanted to improve his cultivation so that one day, when the powerful beings of this world accidentally trigger an epic war between the protagonist and the villain during a great calamity, he can protect himself.

If formations can gather spiritual energy and nourish ghosts, then they can certainly also enhance one's own cultivation level.

Furthermore, experiments revealed that the most concentrated spiritual energy occurs at the first wisp of primordial purple energy at dawn each morning. Cultivating in a peach grove makes one feel as if they are about to float away, their body burning with heat, and they feel terrifyingly powerful.

This is a sign of improved cultivation.

In particular, the golden elixir inside his abdomen shone brightly, almost blinding him.

Anything that can glow is a treasure.

Hu Yunying would come up the mountain every two days, and under the guise of offering incense, she would say some lewd things to him.

Phrases like "The young master is poor, but he cannot be without descendants," "The goddess has a dream, and the flowers are lingering in the snow," and "Of the three unfilial acts, the greatest is to have no descendants" are common.

She uses her good looks and curvy figure to blackmail me with empty words of morality.

Ha ha!

Who doesn't know what this woman is thinking?

It's nothing more than an old cow eating young grass, attracted to my physical appearance. Every time I feel the urge to willingly fall for it, I gracefully descend the mountain.

Play hard to get!

We'll take you down sooner or later!

With the dual opening of Yin and Yang, one achieves success in cultivation.

As for that female ghost, she would appear every now and then, wanting to watch her dance.

Don't think you don't understand her intentions. Isn't she just trying to trick you into giving her pills and incense?

Although she was fed the waste residue after each alchemy session, in an attempt to check for poison in the pills and to see when she would turn over, the female ghost not only didn't turn over, but instead seemed to thrive.

Even during the day, they can sneak out and stay for an hour or two.

The elixir was effective.

Shu Baimei has almost become addicted to her own medicine.

But the female ghost was still enjoying it and always tried to seduce him by dancing that kind of dance.

He wanted to trick himself into eating the pills he had just refined!

Haha, women and female ghosts all follow the same pattern.

Niu Dali from the town died.

It is said that in another part of Peach Blossom Mountain in the southwest of the town, while helping the widow Luo empty her chamber pot, he was stabbed through the heart with a sword. At first, the widow Luo was unwilling to report it to the authorities, but the neighbors saw it and she had no choice but to report it.

I just can't understand why Niu Dali would run four or five miles to Widow Luo's house to empty her chamber pot, and even go into the woods by the mountain to do so. If he had just gone to the nearest place, he wouldn't have been killed.

Zhang Zhengdao descended the mountain to prepare for a religious ceremony.

Niu Dali's family is quite well-off.

Both his parents were alive, and he had a brother named Niu Ergou, who looked lean and wiry, exuding the strength of a working man.

The funeral tent has been erected.

Zhang Zhengdao plans to stay here for two days.

No one was wearing mourning clothes because Niu Dali was single, so the area in front of his coffin was rather deserted.

After Niu Dali died, like all the other dead people, he had no soul. This further proved to Zhang Zhengdao that to become a soul, one must either commit suicide within his own Peach Blossom Bagua Formation or have one's own throat slit.

This also proves another point: there shouldn't be any cultivators or hidden sects in Linbin Town.

Now I can safely lie low.

Only after cultivating to a powerful level can one venture into Lingzhou.

Of all the places under heaven, Lingzhou must be the premier.

Zhang Zhengdao had no desire to be noticed by those cultivation sects. Because in cultivation novels, sects were filled with too many people, and there was all sorts of backstabbing and infighting, much like a modern workplace on Earth.

If you're not careful, you'll die and your life will end.

terrible!

Despite the female ghost Shu Baimei telling herself many times that this world only has the martial arts world, not the immortal path, and that the most powerful beings are the Four Absolutes, there are no gods or ghosts here.

Haha, only mortals would believe that.

With just one sentence, he killed the female ghost.

If there are no immortals, Buddhas, demons, or monsters, then what the hell are you? Are you an inflatable doll created by a Taoist priest?

Then Shu Baimei became withdrawn.

Self-doubt begins with a lack of self-confidence.

In the evening, Zhang Zhengdao chanted scriptures while Hu Yunying sat in meditation on a prayer mat nearby. It wasn't appropriate to send her away, as Hu Yunying had done Niu Dali's family a favor by giving them one tael of silver.

This is a huge favor! Anyone who didn't know better would think she was a rich heiress coming to claim kinship with Niu Dali.

And it started circulating among the townspeople.

It is said that Niu Dali was once the young master of a prominent family in Lingzhou, but he got lost while playing in Linbin Town when he was young and was then adopted by Niu Dali's parents...

Then the aristocratic family found Niu Dali and prepared to recognize him as a relative. However, Niu Dali's appearance threatened the status of several young masters in the family, so they sent assassins to kill Niu Dali.

Any good folk tale is never lacking in the imagination of the people.

"Young master, do you really think Niu Dali is a hidden gem from a noble family?"

Women are naturally fond of gossip, and Hu Yunying, who had been holding it in all day, finally asked herself the question that had been bothering her all night.

"Why don't you just say you're a royal princess who was lost among the common people?" Zhang Zhengdao asked.

Hu Yunying immediately exclaimed with delight, "Yes, my parents used to say I was picked up from a garbage dump..."

"Yes, back in the day, by Daming Lake..."

Xia Yuhe's story is quite captivating.

Hu Yunying had already entered into the Lenovo concept.

People in the martial arts world all hope to have a good background in the end. They want to escape the murky world of feuds and settle down safely, enjoying fame, wealth, and status.

Undoubtedly, the identity of this royal princess is extremely alluring.

The female supporting character NPC is ridiculously stupid.

Zhang Zhengdao was speechless; he had only wanted to tell a simple story.

"Jie Jie Jie!"

Suddenly, a strange laugh came from the night sky, sometimes near, sometimes far.

The host, Niu Dali's parents, and Niu Ergou were so frightened that they hid inside the house, trembling with fear, and dared not come out.

Hu Yunying couldn't help but sneer: "Young master, she's just Chunhua Niang Xiao Yiren, one of the Five Eccentrics. I'll go and meet her!" With that, she stood up, touched the ground with her toes, and disappeared into the night sky.

Known in the martial arts world as one of the Five Eccentrics, Qiao Yiren was a master of poisons, possessing unparalleled skill.

Two figures rose and fell in the night sky over Linbin Town.

Hu Yunying's title of Butterfly Fairy was well-deserved. She took a deep breath and floated lightly to the riverbank in the small town, where she stopped an old woman with a cane.

"Butterfly Fairy, how dare you meddle in my affairs, Chunhua's mother's business?"

Chunhua's mother, Xiao Yiren, came to scare Zhang Zhengdao.

Since Fairy Yaoyue was able to find Zhang Zhengdao, she will surely be able to find him as well, even though it took her a little longer.

"Why can't I? You just want to cause trouble for my apprentice, Guo Lanying, right? Why bother with all that trouble? Just come at me directly!"

Hu Yunying pointed her long sword at Chunhua Niang, Xiao Yiren.

"Haha, you really don't take us Five Eccentrics seriously?" Xiao Yiren laughed heartily.

"The Five Eccentrics?" Hu Yunying sneered. "That's just a name given to you by people in the martial arts world to give you face. We, the righteous sects, disdain it. What do you mean by 'Five Eccentrics' below the Four Great Masters? How about I kill one of the eccentrics today and teach you a lesson?"

"court death!"

Xiao Yiren waved her sleeve.

A thick plume of smoke appeared in front of Hu Yunying.

Hu Yunying opened her mouth and blew, her inner strength suddenly bursting forth, dispersing the smoke in front of her.

But Xiao Yiren's figure had vanished from sight.

"Butterfly Fairy, you've been poisoned by my Enchanting Beauty's Fog. If you don't call for your Cowherd within an hour, you'll explode and die, hahaha... Whether you call or not, you'll be stripped of your title as Butterfly Fairy..."

He had just laughed a few times when his laughter suddenly stopped.

An old woman fell from mid-air and lay stiffly on the ground, her eyes wide open, already lifeless.

Hu Yunying snorted. "Young Master is here. Do you think it's your turn to act tough?"

However, this charming beauty seemed to be quite formidable, which was exactly what he wanted, and she rushed towards Zhang Zhengdao.

"Young master...I've won..."
