#656 - Chapter 655 Making Friends
"Fellow Daoist Li, what does Ji Dengyun mean by that?" Fire Crow Daoist asked, puzzled.
Li Fengyu shook his head: "Ji Dengyun is a man of deep cunning and skilled at maneuvering. He has connections with all the major sects in the Central and Southern Regions. There may be another meaning to his words. However, one thing is correct: this Hao San must not be handed over unless absolutely necessary."
"In the Seven Cities Alliance's Hall of Affairs, can we trust anyone?" Fire Crow Daoist pondered for a moment, then suddenly asked.
"Of the seven deacons in the Hall of Affairs, four are from the Central Region and three from the Southern Region. The three from the Southern Region are real people from Spirit Martial Mountain, Supreme Purity Palace, and Burning Sun Mountain. If there is any connection, it would naturally be closest to Spirit Martial Mountain." Li Fengyu's expression was slightly strange. He didn't understand why the Profound Heaven Sect hadn't clearly explained these things to their own real person.
Tong Tianfu didn't say it because he hadn't been to the Hengduan Mountains for many years, so the situation was not as clear to him as it was to Lu Tianying. He had originally intended for Fire Crow Daoist to go to the Second Demon Suppression City to inquire with Lu Tianying and Hu Tiancong, but unforeseen events occurred along the way.
Fire Crow Daoist thought for a moment, hesitated slightly, but still asked: "I wonder what the relationship between True Yang Temple and Spirit Martial Mountain is like?"
Li Fengyu said in a deep voice: "They have quite a history together."
Fire Crow Daoist shook his head and suddenly laughed: "Let's put this matter aside for now. It's been a long journey for Fellow Daoist Li to come here, and I haven't even found a place to sit. I've been remiss. Why not ascend to the summit, and we can have a few drinks together?"
Li Fengyu smiled freely: "It's better to be respectful than to decline. Please!"
Zhang Yuanjing went ahead to the summit, selected a flat area with a wide view, moved stones to make tables and chairs, and arranged some spiritual fruits and seasonal vegetables. The wine was naturally prepared by Fire Crow Daoist.
Lu Xiangkun, Xun Fang, and others, seeing that the two real people were going to have a private conversation, found a place to sit and rest on their own. Yuan Zhilin and the others, along with Zhang Yuanjing and Qu Chongyi, waited on the mountain peak.
"I see that Fellow Daoist's aura is deep and thick, and you have already reached the peak of the early Core Formation stage. It seems that it won't be long before you can break through and advance," Fire Crow Daoist invited Li Fengyu to sit down, took out his treasured "Undying Flame," poured it into a jade bowl, and placed it on the stone table.
Li Fengyu looked at the magma-like color of the wine, his eyes lit up, and he praised: "Fellow Daoist Yuan's wine is extraordinary! I like it very much!"
"Then let's drink a bowl first!" Fire Crow Daoist laughed, picked up a jade bowl, and gestured for Li Fengyu to drink freely.
Li Fengyu picked up the jade bowl in front of him, sniffed it lightly, put it to his lips, and drank it all in one gulp. Immediately, he praised: "It's like fire passing through the throat, like a spring entering the stomach, and the aftertaste is sweet, with a fragrance that never fades. Good wine, good wine!"
Fire Crow Daoist smiled happily, picked up the wine gourd, and filled it up for him again: "Since it's good wine, let's drink three bowls in a row!"
Li Fengyu didn't refuse and drank three bowls with Fire Crow Daoist.
The two looked at each other and laughed, which made the younger generation envious.
Li Fengyu said: "Fellow Daoist Yuan is right, I am only half a step away from breaking through the cage and advancing to the next realm. However, this half step is not easy. It seems to be within reach, but in reality, it is far away. This matter should be left to nature."
Fire Crow Daoist smiled and said: "Fellow Daoist Li's words are right, but also not right. This old Daoist is older, so I'll act like an elder and call you shidi. In the path of cultivation, you can be unintentional, but you can't be without effort. This time entering the mountain, I have seen many spiritual objects, and there are many more Profound Grade fifth- and sixth-order spiritual herbs and fruits. If you can pick a few, even if it doesn't guarantee a breakthrough, it will be of great benefit!"
A flash of divine light appeared in Li Fengyu's eyes, and he said: "Nephew Qu transmitted a message earlier and mentioned it, but it wasn't very clear. In the Hengduan Mountains, have the spiritual objects really all been raised by one rank?"
Fire Crow Daoist nodded: "As far as this old Daoist has seen, that is indeed the case. Therefore, this old Daoist also suspects that the attack on the flying boat is related to this. In the First Demon Suppression City, did Fellow Daoist Li notice anything unusual?"
"Unusual?" Li Fengyu pondered for a few breaths, then suddenly said, "If there is anything unusual, there is only one thing, and that is that City Lord Mo Yu, Real Person Mo, suddenly left a few months ago, saying that the Hall of Affairs summoned him and needed to temporarily go to the Third Demon Suppression City. Because Real Person Mo has been the city lord for over a hundred years, the Hall of Affairs invited him over to discuss his appointment and removal, which is also a routine matter, so we didn't find anything strange. But now that Daoist brother says this, I realize that the situation inside may not be simple."
"What is Real Person Mo's cultivation?"
"He entered the middle stage of Core Formation more than two hundred years ago."
Fire Crow Daoist nodded: "This is the backbone of the human cultivators in the Hengduan Mountains. It seems that the Hall of Affairs is likely planning something big!"
Li Fengyu was slightly surprised and asked, "What makes Daoist brother say this?"
Fire Crow Daoist slowly said: "The spiritual energy in the Hengduan Mountains has greatly increased, and the spiritual objects have been upgraded. To cover up this matter, the demons have been taking many actions recently, often attacking immortal cities, both cutting off roads and compressing the space for our human cultivators to operate. However, such a big matter cannot be completely concealed. The Hall of Affairs must have already noticed the abnormality in the mountains, but they are keeping it a secret to cover up the plan being carried out in secret."
He suddenly thought of something and smiled faintly: "I think it won't be long before we know the truth. You and I don't need to guess randomly, let's not talk about this matter."
With that, he took out a jade box from his Sumeru ring and handed it to Li Fengyu.
Li Fengyu didn't take it, but instead asked in surprise: "What does Daoist brother mean by this?"
Fire Crow Daoist smiled: "This old Daoist and shidi hit it off at first sight, this item is just a small gift."
Li Fengyu looked at Fire Crow Daoist, neither reaching out nor speaking.
Fire Crow Daoist had no choice but to open the jade box himself. A burst of fragrance wafted out, and the red fruit's spiritual energy burst forth, rising upwards in strands, attracting the surrounding heaven and earth spiritual energy to gather.
Qu Chongyi, who was standing not far away, revealed a look of surprise, but did not speak.
This fruit was the Profound Grade sixth-order Red Ling Fruit that he had picked in the nest of the transformed demon python.
"This is, a Profound Grade sixth-order spiritual object?" Li Fengyu looked at the red fruit in the jade box in surprise, with a somewhat puzzled expression.
Fire Crow Daoist pushed the jade box forward a few inches and said with a smile: "That's right, it was picked by your esteemed nephew, Fellow Daoist Qu, this time when crossing the mountains. Shidi Li's cultivation has reached a bottleneck, so this item is just what you need. This old Daoist will give it to shidi, please don't refuse!"
"How can that be!" Li Fengyu immediately shook his head, "Such a precious item is priceless even in the immortal city's market, and no one is willing to take it out for sale. Daoist brother should keep it, you will need it in the future."
Fire Crow Daoist said sincerely: "No matter how precious an item is, it is useless if you can't use it. This spiritual fruit, this old Daoist will need it at least a hundred years later. But shidi, you are different, you can take it now. If you break through because of this, your strength will greatly increase, which will be good for dealing with the current complex situation in the Hengduan Mountains, and this old Daoist can also rely on you."
Li Fengyu hesitated for a moment, but still refused to accept it, saying: "If Daoist brother doesn't use it, you can also find someone to exchange it for something you can use. This little brother really can't accept such a great gift."
Fire Crow Daoist laughed: "Shidi's gentlemanly demeanor is admirable. How about this, this spiritual fruit will be considered as borrowed from this old Daoist. When shidi breaks through, take a trip into the mountains and pick a spiritual fruit of the same grade to return to me. What do you think?"
Hearing this, Li Fengyu couldn't refuse any longer, so he readily agreed: "Then I'll consider it borrowed from Daoist brother!"
