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

Early in the morning, female disciples came to help Zhang Zhengdao get up.

Hot towels, water for washing the face, willow twigs for rinsing the mouth, then seafood porridge, large crab legs, small dishes, crane eggs...

The female disciple watched Zhang Zhengdao rinse his mouth, then picked up a cup and fed him a sip of water, while another used a basin to catch the rinsing water. Afterward, she brought the porridge to his mouth, feeding one a sip of porridge and the other a piece of sliced ​​egg.

Jinlong said, "I'll eat it myself!"

The maid bowed and waited quietly to the side.

This is incredibly decadent. What they eat isn't important; the key is the level of service they receive—it's professional beyond belief. I bet this cult leader has enjoyed this kind of treatment quite a bit in the past.

I'm ashamed to call myself an immortal!

"Master, why don't you give me a name? I can even turn into a human now!!"

Being able to become human makes Jinlong very proud.

This is a demonstration of ability.

"That's right, let's call her Little Dragon Girl!"

Jinlong was stunned.

Is naming someone so careless? Besides, where am I small?

"Master, isn't this name chosen too quickly? Shouldn't we reconsider? And why use the character 'little' for 'Little Dragon Girl'?"

"Then come up with one yourself! Why are you begging me?"

Jinlong was somewhat unconvinced.

However, it's unlikely that I can name myself, since my education level is not high enough and I can't even recognize many characters. How can I come up with a name?

After I get back, I will definitely learn some cultural knowledge from my senior brother.

"Dragon—what?" The golden dragon rested its chin on its hand, lay on the ground, and shook its head as it looked outside.

Zhang Zhengdao had finished eating and drinking his fill, rinsed his mouth, and plopped down on the polished marble floor. He said to her, "Don't bother with the dragon thing. Generally speaking, dragons are surnamed Ao, so you can use that surname for your name. I've thought of one for you, how about Ao Yu? You were born in Fanyu Lake, so it's a way to commemorate your birthplace."

Jinlong thought the name was quite good and nodded, "I'll listen to you."

Zhang Zhengdao continued, "Her nickname will be Little Dragon Girl."

Jinlong asked in confusion, "Why does it have to be called Little Dragon Girl? Are you having an affair with a female dragon named Little Dragon Girl? Do you want me to be her substitute?"

Zhang Zhengdao was stunned.

Sometimes I really wonder if this golden dragon is a female fan of BL (Boys' Love) dramas from Earth who has watched too many brainless short dramas.

"roll--"

Just as Jinlong was about to roll away, he heard a voice outside the palace door. It was friendly and gentle, with a slightly melodious, upward-sweeping tone.

"Immortal, Hong Zhengtong requests an audience."

Zhang Zhengdao: "Come in!"

The door to the palace opened by itself without any wind, and Hong Zhengtong cautiously entered. He bowed to Zhang Zhengdao and said, "Greetings, Immortal. Are you well?"

Zhang Zhengdao: "I'm practically an immortal now—"

I'm already a deity, why are you asking me if I'm alright? Isn't that redundant?

Hong Zhengtong chuckled twice to ease the awkwardness, then said to Zhang Zhengdao, "Immortal, we still need your instructions regarding the statue in the main hall and the matter of welcoming the Immortal to become our Immortal Venerable. If you agree, we can start immediately."

Zhang Zhengdao said, "Does it really have to be this way? What benefit would I get from it?"

Hong Zhengtong said, "There are too many benefits."

Zhang Zhengdao immediately became interested: "Tell me about it!"

Hong Zhengtong said, "All the gold and silver on the island is yours. All the properties here are yours, as are all the disciples here and the people in the surrounding area..."

"What benefits will you get from this?"

Zhang Zhengdao must have known that such a huge benefit must come with some kind of exchange of interests.

Hong Zhengtong immediately said, "Our greatest advantage is that the immortals can lead us."

Zhang Zhengdao: "So you don't want your Divine Fire Sect anymore?"

Hong Zhengtong said, "The mission of the Divine Fire Sect has been completed, so its existence is irrelevant. As the sect leader also said, the Divine Fire Sect has encountered an immortal, so the Divine Fire Sect should no longer exist."

Is there such a good thing?

Zhang Zhengdao looked at him suspiciously.

"Does it really all belong to me?"

Hong Zhengtong nodded, but looked somewhat embarrassed, as if he was a little too shy to say it.

“I hate people who lie to me more than anything in my life,” Zhang Zhengdao said. “The last person who lied to me is no longer in this world. Think it through.”

Hong Zhengtong quickly said, "Behind our main hall, there is a canyon. After the great battle between immortals and mortals, this main hall was built on top of this canyon. The canyon has a name: Fallen Dragon Valley. When the immortals left the mortal world, they said that if any immortals ever appeared again, they should come to Fallen Dragon Valley, where they would have great opportunities..."

Dragonfall Valley?

Zhang Zhengdao: ...

Ao Yu: ...

what's the situation?

Zhang Zhengdao was deeply shaken.

Back then, I discovered the Fallen Dragon Valley behind the secret passage of the Fuyun Temple on Earth. I opened a box, and a jade ruyi appeared. The jade ruyi transformed into a ball of light and entered my body, which led me to become an immortal in this world.

Ao Yu was also greatly shocked.

What kind of lousy name is this? Fallen Dragon Valley. I... I just became a golden dragon, and I ended up in your Fallen Dragon Valley.

Are you trying to kill me?

He was trembling all over, about to explode with rage.

I'm not Ao Yu if I don't verbally kill you all in one go! This is practically an attempt to kill me right in front of my face! Let me show you what I'm capable of…

"Okay, I promise you, I'll go check out Dragonfall Valley!"

Before he could even exhale, he heard Zhang Zhengdao's voice, and he immediately held his breath, almost bursting his lungs.

"Master, wouldn't you like to reconsider? That's... Fallen Dragon Valley!"

Ao Yu quickly grabbed Zhang Zhengdao's sleeve.

Zhang Zhengdao: "I know, that's why I'm going to take a look."

The old man had successfully caught his attention. Since his arrival in this world was inexplicable, it would be worthwhile to find out the reason.

"A fallen dragon! Abbot—"

The thought of the abbot insisting on going made Ao Yu feel guilty.

Persuaded!

Although it seems that besides the Abbot, he is the most powerful person in the world, the name he has is too creepy. If it's not true, that's fine; he can still show off. But what if it becomes true?

Could the idiom "a word that becomes a prophecy" have been created specifically for this Dragon Fall Valley?

"Dragon—"

Ao Yu tugged at Zhang Zhengdao's sleeve again.

Zhang Zhengdao glanced at her: "I didn't ask you to come too. Just wait here. I'll go check and come right back. There's good wine and food here. I'm afraid you'll eat yourself to death."

"Alright!" Ao Yu reluctantly accepted this reason.

"Alright, lead the way!"

Zhang Zhengdao didn't waste any time and waved to Hong Zhengtong, whose face was already beaming with joy.

"And you... Ao... Yu, right? Practice your squatting more here, or you'll get your pants wet next time!"

Ao Yu was furious. How could anyone expose someone's shortcomings to their face?

The old man Hong Zhengtong walked very briskly, leading Zhang Zhengdao through the main hall and then through a narrow passage behind the hall to a mountain peak.

This place on the mountaintop has been renovated over thousands of years and is now a plaza platform.

At the very edge of the cliff, there is a stone tablet with three large, blood-red characters written on it: Fallen Dragon Valley.

There is a small incense offering platform on the stone tablet.

The shape of this stone tablet and the incense-offering platform were almost identical to those of the Dragonfall Valley on Earth. This made Zhang Zhengdao's heart pound wildly.

A move of the hand.

Suddenly, the incense-offering altar cracked open, revealing a jade box inside.

Hong Zhengtong's eyes turned red as he earnestly instructed the jade box.

For thousands of years, no one has discovered that a jade box is buried here. Every time I come here, I only think about putting incense and candles on it, and I never thought of breaking it open to see what's inside.

The immortal was indeed an immortal; he spotted the jade box inside at a glance.

Ultimately, it's just that I lacked the right opportunity.

On the path to immortality, I am merely one of the ordinary leaders of the Divine Fire Sect.

"Immortal, this is..."

Zhang Zhengdao placed his finger between his lips, making a "shh" gesture.

Hong Zhengtong immediately shut up.

It would be a lie to say I wasn't excited; at the very least, I was filled with anticipation for this jade box.

After all, all his magical powers in this world came from a jade ruyi in the same jade box on Earth.

So, is there a jade ruyi in this jade box?

Zhang Zhengdao took a deep breath and then slowly opened the jade box.

Ten thousand rays of light suddenly burst forth from the jade box, shooting straight into the sky. This caused the members of the Divine Fire Sect to let out exclamations of amazement.

When Zhang Zhengdao looked closely, he saw a jade ruyi lying quietly inside the jade box.
