The white clouds fiddled with by the third-order Nine Palace Turtle's four legs were flying slowly in mid-air...
There is a little girl sitting on its back, Shen Nianci. She hugged the old turtle's neck tightly, her face filled with excitement.
"Grandpa, where are we going?" Shen Nianci asked curiously.
"Silver Grassland... I know a swamp where there is a kind of wolfberry fish, which is delicious and very nourishing." The old turtle replied.
"Wolfberry fish?" Shen Nianci's eyes lit up, "I really want to try it."
"Well, I know Nianci wants to eat them. We must catch a few." The old turtle said with a smile.
Li Shuidao and Nangong Qin controlled two escaping lights and followed behind, flying close to the grassland.
The old turtle was shrouded in mist, as if a cloud of rain and mist had drifted over the grassland...
Soon they came to a swampy land. The water here is crystal clear and the water plants are swaying in the breeze.
Li Shuidao saw a fat red fish, describing it as a foot long, swimming among the water plants.
The old turtle landed slowly, his eyes shining with excitement.
Li Shuidao stepped out and stepped into the water. A wolfberry fish jumped out of the water. Li Shuidao turned around and kicked the fat fish to the shore.
The water and grass here are rich and fertile, and Li Shuidao quickly collected two more ginseng plants.
Nangong Qin skillfully used the knife she carried to cut open the belly of the fish and fillet it into even thin slices.
Li Shuidao used the medicine man's spiritual fire to cook the fish fillets and herbs together, slowly brewing a pot of fragrant whitebait soup.
In a pot of fish soup, Old Turtle and Shen Nianci took one bite at a time and enjoyed the delicious whitebait soup to their heart's content. Shen Nianci even finished the soup. After finishing the whitebait soup, her face turned red and she seemed to enjoy it very much.
"Tell me, what should we do next?" Li Shuidao asked coldly, with a hint of impatience in his tone.
"The ugly words are ahead. If I don't get the benefits I deserve, then I might as well tell you that stewed turtle with poria cocos is the most replenishing broth. I can also replenish my vitality by then." Li Shuidao patted the old turtle on the back. said
When the old turtle heard these words, his long neck retracted into the turtle shell again, leaving only half of his head outside, and looked at Li Shuidao with a timid expression.
Shen Nianci also thought of Li Shuidao's ruthlessness in killing the city lord while talking and laughing, and he also frowned, looking very worried.
The old turtle slowly stretched out his head and said slowly: "Do you have any copper coins? It is best to use the older ones. The more popular they are, the longer they are used, the better the effect."
Li Shuidao waved his sleeves gently and took out three copper coins from his storage bag.
The copper light flickers, as if time has left traces on it.
These copper coins have been circulating on the market for countless years...
Li Banxian had plenty of such things. Li Shuidao was interested in "Nine Palaces Divine Calculation", so he naturally grabbed a handful from him.
The old turtle nodded slightly, "Give it to Nianci." It commanded.
Li Shuidao put on his big-sleeved clothes and three copper coins flew in front of Shen Nianci.
After Shen Nianci took the copper coins, she stared at them with a solemn look on her face.
She murmured the formula slightly, and then scattered the copper coins on the old turtle's back.
The old turtle stretched his neck, lowered his head, and stared at the copper coins on his back.
Then he started to shake his head and murmur, this step was originally done by the monk, but this old turtle should be a fellow disciple of a certain late Penglai immortal cultivator. Over the long years, he not only developed wisdom, but even mastered the "Nine Palaces Divine Calculation" 》
"Bring the map." Old Turtle ordered. Li Shuidao smiled slightly, patted the storage bag, and a huge map appeared in front of them out of thin air. This map depicts the geographical features and cultural customs of the entire Tianyuan Continent in detail.
The old turtle frowned slightly, "It's too big...change to a smaller map." Li Shuidao took out another map of the Silver Grassland.
The old turtle's eyes swept across the map, and finally settled on a city at the junction of Silver Grassland and Penglai Immortal Sea.
"Go here." The old turtle's instructions fell on the city on the map.
The map shows: That is the famous Xiantu City.
"Hmph! You still need to figure it out in Xiantu City. Who should I look for in the city?" Li Shuidao asked coldly.
"You don't have to look for anyone. There is naturally a girl here who knows you. She is your chance to advance to the third level. As the saying goes, if Jiajiyang, Yigengyin, Bingxin will come..."
"Know me? Impossible! I have never been to Xiantu City. It is absolutely impossible for any girl to know me!" Li Shuidao said categorically.
"This is how it is shown in the hexagrams. If you don't believe me, just see for yourself." Old Oogway said aggrievedly.
Shen Nianci took out the manuscript of "Nine Palaces Divine Calculation" from his body and handed it to Li Shuidao with both hands, meaning to let him look at the book.
Li Shuidao opened the "Nine Palaces Divine Calculation" doubtfully and looked at the copper coins on the turtle's back and the nine palaces it was born with. After looking at it for a while, he felt dizzy.
"Okay, I believe you." Li Shuidao could only sigh and said
Nangong Qin looked at him, with a trace of hesitation in her eyes, "Fellow Daoist Li, you have to be careful." She said softly: "I will not accompany you to the Xiantu City group."
"Oh...why?" Li Shuidao asked curiously. After all, this woman had been clamoring to follow him before.
Nangong Qin frowned and thought for a moment and then said: "Fellow Daoist Li, I came out early this time just to look for opportunities. I'm afraid I will have to stay with Senior Turtle for a while in order to get my own opportunities."
"Hahahaha..." Li Shuidao laughed loudly: "Then I will take my leave first, but fellow Taoist Nangong, I must remind you that your destiny is always in your own hands!"
After saying that, Li Shuidao turned into a silver-gray light and flew away.
This time he went straight to the "Xiandu City" without stopping at any city along the way.
As the saying goes: Blessings lie behind misfortunes, misfortunes lie behind blessings. Everything in the world is about misfortunes and blessings, and crises coexist. If you rely too much on the guidance of fate, you will only make yourself a complete waste.
That old turtle is already a third-level monster. With its cultivation level, it could originally walk sideways, but it can only shrink its head in front of you and become a turtle. Although this is also its true nature, what's the use of it? ?
Destiny is in your own hands, it can be cut with a knife and a sword!
Nangong Qin looked at Li Shuidao who was walking away and thought for a moment. Then she turned to look at Old Turtle and said with a flattering face: "Senior Turtle, what else do you want me to do?"
The old turtle nodded slightly and said, "I'll take you to dig some thousand-year-old ginseng."
"Thank you, senior." Nangong Qin said with surprise on his face.
…
Three months later.
Xiantu City.
Xiantu City is an ancient city built on the seaside.
Li Shuidao stood outside the city and could overlook the vast Penglai Sea.
In front of him was the endless ocean, and behind him was the endless grassland.
And this Xiantu City is located at the junction of the ocean and the grassland. Without a map or a compass in your hand, even a monk who can fly away will find it extremely difficult to find this city.
The waves on the sea were rough, and the waves beat against the rocks on the shore, making a sound like the sound of nature.
At sea, you sometimes see some monks flying in the air, or spiritual beasts playing on the sea.
In the center of this sea, there is an island called "Penglai Immortal Island".
Penglai Taoism, which uses the Nine Palace Turtle as a co-reference, is among them. This is also the only Taoist tradition in the entire continent of cultivating immortals that studies heavenly secrets and numerology.
The source of the art of deducing the destiny of any sect and cultivating family comes from the Penglai inheritance.
Li Shuidao withdrew his gaze and walked into the city...
It was early in the morning, the sun had just risen, and many people were already bustling on the streets of Xiantu City.
The residents of the city got up early and started a new day of life.
Li Shuidao walked alone on the ancient streets of the city, feeling the unique atmosphere of the city. He was wearing a green robe and a pair of cloud shoes. His steps were light, as if he had blended into the city.
As he strolled along the ancient streets, he admired the buildings and shops on both sides of the streets.
Most of the buildings here are built with rocks from the seaside and special spiritual trees from the mountains. Every building looks simple and elegant.
The shops are filled with all kinds of rare treasures, including some Penglai Sea specialties and rare destiny artifacts.
Li Shuidao walked along the ancient street, like white clouds floating randomly in the sky.
"If Jia Ji Yang is Yi Geng Yin, the boy Bing Xin will come." Li Shuidao murmured to himself.
In Xiantu City, there really is a boy who knows himself and finds himself, and he is his chance to advance to the third level...
+
Li Shuidao walked aimlessly until evening...
At dusk, the sun sets in the west, and the golden afterglow shines on the bluestone, coating his lonely back with a layer of golden brilliance.
Just when Li Shuidao secretly scolded the old turtle for being unreliable, a crisp voice suddenly came from behind: "Li Shuidao?"
He was stunned for a moment, turned around, and saw a girl standing behind him.
This girl is about twelve years old, with a petite figure and skin as white and tender as a lotus flower on a snow-capped mountain, glowing with freshness.
Her hair was delicately tied into a ball shape, with a small green hairpin stuck diagonally on it, which gave it a unique charm.
Her eyes were like two bright stars, shining with innocence and curiosity, and she was looking at him in surprise.
Li Shuidao couldn't believe his eyes. He asked in surprise: "Yao...Grandma Yaotong?"
The girl looked very surprised. She immediately ran to Li Shuidao and looked at him carefully.
"Why did you come to Xiantu City?" Tuoba Wan'er, the grandmother of Yaotong, asked.
"I...I am now just one step away from advancing to the third level. I am preparing to go to the Immortal Path Secret Realm to pick up Pangu's beard."
"You want to refine the Immortal Awareness Pill?"
Li Shuidao immediately suggested: "Fellow Taoba Tuoba, as far as I know, the secret realm of the Immortal Path will be opened in five years. At that time, we will go to find Pangu Xu and refine the Immortal Aperture Pill together."
Unexpectedly, Tuoba Wan'er shook her head and said, "I have already advanced."
Li Shuidao: "..."
