Changsheng: Peak at the Beginning

Next, Bai Zihua took Jiang Xinxin away from Shushan on the pretext of the magic weapon. As for Luo Shiyi, Ni Mantian and others, they stayed to support Hua Qiangu.

After coming out of Shushan, Bai Zihua did not take back the Liuguangqin, and even did not accept the Bugui Inkstone and Huansi Bell that Jiang Xinxin offered to give him.

Bai Zihua had heard Luo Shiyi and Ni Mantian mention before that they were going to continue westward to visit the snowy plateau and the desert, so he was not in a hurry to stay for long. Instead, he said to Jiang Xinxin, "Master intends to go to Liancheng to visit the Immortal Wuque. Are you willing to go with Master?"

Jiang Xinxin was naturally happy that she was not in a hurry to return to Changliu. Moreover, since she came down the mountain, her collecting habit had come back again. It was just that there were always so many people following her before, so she was a little inconvenient to move.

This Lotus City is the richest city in the world. The Immortal Wuque is the lord of this Lotus City. You can imagine how rich he is.

But when Jiang Xinxin saw the Immortal Wuque, she felt that he was an even colder person than Bai Zihua. If a mortal saw his indifferent eyes, they might be frozen to death immediately.

But even such a person made of ice and snow, when he saw his close friend Bai Zihua, the indifference on his face immediately disappeared without a trace, and a faint smile quickly bloomed on his face, just like a small golden flower suddenly blooming under the ice and snow. It was truly a beautiful scene.

"Zihua, Zihua, this is the first time you've come to see me since we last met."

Immortal Wuque was really happy. Then he saw Jiang Xinxin behind Bai Zihua. At this moment Jiang Xinxin was looking at him with a smile. He felt like he saw a sky full of stars in this little girl's eyes.

Immortal Wuque immediately praised: "I have known for a long time that you finally accepted a disciple. In those years, everyone has been wondering what kind of person can catch the eye of Immortal Changliu. After seeing it today, it turns out that this little disciple is indeed extraordinary and has a deep affinity with the immortals!"

Wuque Shangxian was wealthy and generous. Seeing Jiang Xinxin obediently bowing to him at Bai Zihua's signal, he waved his hand and asked the butler to take Jiang Xinxin to his private store to pick out a few things. "Don't be polite. Your master and I are friends of life and death, and we have even sworn brotherhood. I will accept a disciple in the future, so your master will have to open a private store as well."

Bai Zihua also knew his friend's personality, so he nodded and told Jiang Xinxin to just go ahead and make her choice. "Shangxian Wuque has already said that when he accepts a disciple in the future, I will help you pay back the gift you received today."

Only then did Jiang Xinxin feel relieved and followed the housekeeper to leave temporarily.

But when Jiang Xinxin could no longer be seen, Bai Zihua suddenly stopped smiling and asked Immortal Wu Gou sternly, "When I saw you today, I felt that you had changed a little, but when I looked closely, it seemed that you hadn't changed. Wu Gou, what happened to you?"

The smile on Immortal Wuque's face froze for a moment, but the next moment it deepened, and he said vaguely: "How else can I change? The one who has changed the most is you, Immortal Changliu? You already have a little disciple, and I heard that Zixun even attacked Jueqing Palace, and you drove him away directly. This is not very kind."

Speaking of Xia Zixun, Bai Zihua was also helpless, "You know, I don't have that kind of intention towards Zixun, and we have such a life-long friendship, and Tan Fan also has a crush on Zixun, I am really in a dilemma."

Immortal Wuque's eyes widened when he heard this: "I said you are the one who has changed the most among the five of us! If it were in the past, you would be very taciturn and would never explain anything. Now that you have accepted a disciple, you are really different."

Bai Zihua thought of the pile of storybooks that were smuggled from the Greed Palace and the Soul-Stirring Palace in Jiang Xinxin's study. He sighed and followed Immortal Wuque's words to change the subject: "My disciple is still young, but her cultivation is higher than mine back then. In order to let her consolidate her foundation, I dare not urge her to practice. She likes to be lively and likes to read storybooks. I can only let her do what she wants."

As he spoke, he seemed to have remembered something and asked, "Tell me, are we really too old to keep up with the ideas of today's young people? Xinxin always dislikes me for being dumb and can't speak, and she uses her storybooks to criticize me openly or secretly."

When Immortal Wuque saw Bai Zihua like this, he didn't feel happy at all, but only felt frightened.

After sending away the servants waiting around him, Immortal Wuque lowered his voice and asked Bai Zihua, "Zihua, what do you think of the calamity of life and death?"

Not many people know that Bai Zihua encountered a life-and-death calamity. Among Changliu, only the former leader and the current three masters knew about it. Outside, only the other four immortals who had a life-and-death relationship with Bai Zihua knew even a little bit of information.

Bai Zihua suddenly heard Immortal Wuque asking about the life and death calamity. He pondered for a moment and said, "No matter how terrifying the rumors about this life and death calamity are, in the end it is just a calamity sent by heaven and earth. It's just that we don't know how heaven and earth will test cultivators of our generation. In panic, we did something irreversible, so naturally we can't survive this calamity."

"In my opinion, as long as it is a calamity, it is either a test of our cultivation or a test of our character. As long as we practice diligently and stabilize our state of mind, we will naturally be able to overcome this calamity."

Bai Zihua's few light words seemed to awaken the Immortal Wuque. He did not dare to think about what he had done, but was deeply hurt by these words.

Bai Zihua almost immediately noticed that something was wrong with Wu Gou. He quickly supported Wu Gou, and seeing that Wu Gou was on the verge of losing his mind, he quickly helped him to stabilize his state of mind.

There was no need for Wuqiu to say anything, as he probably already understood why he felt that Wuqiu had changed so much the first time they met.

He must have encountered a life-and-death calamity, and most likely the target of the calamity either died in his hands or died because of him, so he regretted it.

Jiang Xinxin just happened to come out after choosing a gift. Seeing Bai Zihua supporting Wu Gou, she quickly stepped forward and asked, "Master, what happened to Immortal Wu Gou?"

Wuqiu stood up, with a pale face, he forced a very forced smile, waved his hand and said to Jiang Xinxin: "I'm fine, but I don't have time to entertain you two right now. If Xinxin wants to go out for a walk, I'll let the housekeeper lead the way for you."

Wu Gou was so weak that he looked like he would die at any time. Jiang Xinxin didn't dare to trouble him. She stood next to Bai Zihua, quickly accepted his kindness, and urged him to go back and rest.

Wuqiu scared Jiang Xinxin himself, so he turned around and ordered the housekeeper to prepare some clothes and jewelry suitable for girls and give them to Jiang Xinxin as an apology.

When they arrived at the residence arranged by Wuqiu, Jiang Xinxin did not ask Bai Zihua anything, but just showed off the gift she had chosen to Bai Zihua.

"Master, look, there are twenty-four pearls here. As soon as I entered, they flew to my side. The housekeeper said that the origin of these twenty-four pearls is unknown. No matter what, they look like ordinary pearls, but there is a layer of fairy spirit floating on the surface, which shows that they have an extraordinary origin."

"And this jade lotus lamp. Even though it was missing the wick and oil, it flew into my hands by itself, so I had no choice but to accept it."
