Chapter 18 A Graceful Journey to Danfeng
Bai Wuxia's expression changed:
"The clan leader is calling me, Moyan. You should go and check on your sister right away."
Bai Moyan nodded hurriedly and dashed towards the snow-covered clouds below the pavilion. Fortunately, she was familiar with the way down the mountain.
"Sister! Sister!"
Stroking the jade railing in front of Yunshui Pavilion, Bai Moyan raised her hand to push aside the thick white mist in front of her. Luo Sifan sat cross-legged on the platform, seemingly awakened by her call.
Luo Sifan suddenly woke up, startled by the thick spiritual liquid clinging to his body and the heavy white mist, and thought to himself, "Oh no!"
Immediately, the swelling of his dantian and the feeling of his body floating in the wind reminded him of his memories of breaking through to the Foundation Establishment stage in his previous life.
Reaching the peak of Qi Refining overnight? Luo Sifan felt a surge of unexpected joy.
While Luo Sifan was still in a daze, a foot-long, warm, red tongue emerged from the white mist and licked him.
"Stop! Stop!"
Having been caught off guard, Luo Sifan quickly raised his hand and frowned, stopping Chi Ze's one-sided attempt to please him.
Akazawa whimpered a few times, then listlessly lay back down.
"Moyan, you're here quite early."
Luo Sifan stretched his legs and stood up with a smile. Bai Moyan walked onto the platform amidst swirling white mist, and her eyes widened when she saw that it was Luo Sifan and Chi Ze.
"Sister Xiaozhi! Such a commotion, was it... that you caused it? And, Senior Chizawa... what are you doing here too?"
Bai Moyan was speechless, unsure how to ask. She pointed with her fingers, noting that the spiritual energy here was almost liquefied and seemed to have a physical form when grasped in her hand.
Luo Sifan's eyes darted around, a look of surprise on his face. He absolutely refused to admit it.
"Is this strange? I just arrived, I don't know. Sister Moyan, you should ask Chize! It stayed here all night."
He secretly kicked Chi Ze's big foot a few times. He then transferred some of Taiyi Qingxuan's spiritual energy to him.
Chi Ze let out a howl, raised its huge head, and looked at Luo Sifan and Bai Moyan with its big red eyes, a hint of resentment in them.
Bai Moyan looked adorably silly, while Luo Sifan made funny faces.
Chi Ze hesitated for a moment, seemingly finding it difficult to lie, but unable to resist Luo Sifan's furtive glare, he still nodded slightly.
Luo Sifan clapped his hands and beamed with joy:
"Sister! Look, Akazawa said it was it that did this!"
Akazawa almost rolled his eyes.
"Is that so?! Akazawa-senpai."
A strange, cold female voice suddenly came from the white mist.
The white mist within a certain range on the platform vanished in an instant, as if it had been completely wiped away.
Two middle-aged beauties who inexplicably made Luo Sifan's heart tremble appeared on the platform with ambiguous smiles.
"Mother! Clan Chief..."
Bai Moyan quickly bowed in greeting.
"Lin Xiaozhi greets the two seniors!"
Luo Sifan was nervous, but she still observed all the proper etiquette.
Chi Ze lazily stood up and stuck behind Luo Sifan, seemingly unconcerned.
The two beautiful women, one in green and one in white, exchanged a glance, both feeling quite surprised.
Then, Bai Wuxia trembled slightly:
"Senior Akazawa, your eyes!"
The beautiful woman in green nodded slightly.
"Senior Akazawa's cultivation level seems to have improved! His pupils are now pure and perfect, and his aura is even more powerful!"
This Lin Xiaozhi wasn't making things up at all!
Everyone's attention had obviously shifted to Chi Ze, and Luo Sifan secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
The beautiful woman in green took out a beautifully carved yellow jade waist ornament:
"Senior Chi Ze, congratulations on your progress! Please return to your cave to rest and recuperate!"
Chi Ze blinked his big eyes, caught Luo Sifan's expression, let out a muffled groan, and disappeared into the void.
Having confirmed that Akazawa had left, the gentle expression on the beautiful woman in blue turned sharp.
"Miss Lin, you've certainly gained quite a few advantages by staying by Chi Ze's side, haven't you? Practicing martial arts in the spiritual energy gathering place of my Li Meng Mountain without permission—how audacious!"
Seeing the clan leader's anger, Bai Moyan quietly walked over and tugged at Bai Wuxia's sleeve.
Luo Sifan's aura was flowing, and he could not shake off suspicion for taking advantage of Li Mengshan, so he looked quite embarrassed.
Bai Wuxia, pleading with Bai Moyan, had no choice but to whisper a few words to the woman in green.
The beautiful woman in green glared at Bai Moyan:
"Moyan, that child, is so reckless! She casually agreed to let outsiders come here to practice her skills! You're confined for three months! Bai Wuxia, you keep a close eye on her!"
"As for you, out of respect for Senior Chi Ze's favor, I will spare you from punishment. Today, you are to be expelled from Li Meng Mountain!"
The beautiful woman in green glanced at Luo Sifan disdainfully, then flicked her sleeves and drifted away.
Bai Wuxia, holding Bai Moyan's distressed expression, frowned and said to Luo Sifan:
“Miss Lin, I, Bai Wuxia, appreciate your kindness in coming here. However, the commotion last night was quite significant, and it wouldn't be appropriate for me to keep you here any longer. Perhaps…”
Luo Sifan smiled shamelessly:
"The noble chieftain asked me to leave today, which is fine. I heard that a master alchemist will be refining pills here after noon. Aunt Wuxia, could I watch from the sidelines before leaving?"
Bai Wuxia looked troubled, but unable to resist her daughter's soft pleas, she steeled herself and said:
"Very well, for you alchemists, to have the opportunity to observe a master refining pills is naturally of paramount importance. I cannot refuse you two sisters' kindness. After the pills are completed, I will personally escort you down the mountain!"
With a sigh, he grabbed Bai Moyan, who was turning her head to wink at Luo Sifan, and returned to Poyun Peak.
The unusual sea of clouds gradually dissipated.
Luo Sifan stood quietly in the Yunshui Pavilion, silently gazing at the beautiful scenery around her, leisurely waiting for the sun to reach its zenith.
Several hours later, Bai Wuxia arrived gracefully, accompanied by two white-clad women from Poyun Peak.
Her expression was much calmer. She beckoned Luo Sifan over and handed him a colorful bead. Luo Sifan recognized it at a glance as Bai Moyan's mirage bead.
“Moyan won’t be out anytime soon. This is something she asked me to bring to you, saying there’s something of yours inside.”
"How could I possibly accept this? Sister Moyan, you're too kind!"
Luo Sifan was a little embarrassed.
"Take it. It's nothing special in Limeng Mountain. Miss Lin and Moyan are destined for each other, so what is a mirage pearl?"
Bai Wuxia said calmly, withdrawing her hand.
Luo Sifan was in dire need of such a magical treasure, so he stopped refusing and, with an uncontrollable smile, put the mirage pearl into his pocket.
Bai Wuxia saw this and sighed inwardly, but still calmly told Luo Sifan about the method of guiding the soul to the mirage pearl.
Overjoyed, Luo Sifan captured the Mandarin Duck Ruyi Incense Burner into the Mirage Pearl from afar. It was indeed convenient! He no longer needed to carry an incense burner around.
Moyan is so considerate of her older sister!
Luo Sifan greatly admired Bai Moyan's obedient and considerate nature.
"Let's go! The time is almost up."
With a flick of her white robe sleeve, Bai Wuxia swept Luo Sifan into the void, and the four of them floated slowly towards the vermilion alchemy furnace peak under the bright sun.
At the summit of Danlu Peak, colorful dresses fluttered in the air. Dozens of people had gathered in a Taoist palace square with green tiles and stone walls, some standing and some sitting, watching Bai Wuxia and her companions gracefully land, their expressions varied.
