After listening to Suzaku's explanation, the two of them understood what was going on.
There are three sacred birds in China.
Phoenix, Suzaku, Nine-Headed Bird!
Maybe it's because of the same-sex repulsion, the three of them have always disliked each other. One time when Nine-Headed Bird went out to play, they happened to encounter a fight between Xuanwu and Suzaku.
Lu Chen knew Xiao Qing's fighting style very well.
Regardless of whether he can beat him or not, he is absolutely invincible in terms of momentum.
Things like 'crows flying in planes' and 'tornadoes destroying parking lots' are fun to watch.
Jiutouniao thought that this guy was too handsome and could help her take care of Suzaku, so she ran to make friends with Xiaoqing.
Coincidentally, Xuanwu is a beast from the North Underworld, which governs Yin and loves to eat ghosts, while the Nine-Headed Bird is born to eat souls, so the two of them have a good appetite.
At that time, several entrances to the underworld were not closed, and snakes and birds often sneaked into the underworld to eat at the buffet.
When they were stealing food, they were caught by Du Ziren. Two against one, all three parties suffered some injuries, and then they escaped back to the earth.
This is also the reason why Du Ziren said: "Xuanwu, if it were you in your heyday, I would still be a little afraid of you."
Xiaoqing has a carefree and arrogant personality. She likes to call herself my lord. After playing together for a long time, Jiutouniao calls her eldest sister.
Not only the nine-headed bird, but also many mythical beasts in ancient times were adopted by her as little sisters.
However, Xiao Qing's recovery time was still very short, and she didn't think of many things. This time, she met the Nine-Headed Bird, which made her think of that past event.
Lu Chen was surprised when he heard this. He didn't expect Xiaoqing to be so awesome in ancient times. If the little sisters were gathered together, they would definitely be a super powerful force.
"Keke~ Little Green Snake, do you think your little sisters will laugh at you when they see you are so weak now?"
After explaining the reason, Suzaku didn't forget to mock Xiao Qing.
"Zhu Xiaoque, don't be complacent. Thirty years to the east of the river and thirty to the west of the river. It won't take long for me to return to my peak. When the time comes, I will ride under you and beat you hard!"
Xiao Qing roared angrily, then bit Lu Chen's sleeve and walked out.
"Fairy Zhou, of those two divine fruits, one is for Yuhan's treatment, and the other is for you. If Yuhan wakes up, please let her stay with you and don't go looking for me."
Lu Chen hurriedly confessed, and then left Mingyue Tower with Xiaoqing.
"Hmph, damn Zhu Xiaoque, I will teach her a lesson sooner or later."
Xiao Qing was angrily spinning back and forth in the air. Finally, his head became dizzy and his body became entangled and knotted in the air.
"Ouch!"
Xiao Qing shouted, Lu Chen walked away, playing her little head: "Don't toss, I will hurry up to improve the strength, then we will beat her together."
"Master is the best, woo hoo!"
Xiaoqing ran over and rubbed Lu Chen's neck, but Lu Chen suddenly grabbed her in front of her, stared into her eyes and asked.
"Xiao Qing, was the girl I saw when I was swallowing the Mu family's divine blood outside Purgatory Island before, was that you?"
When he was devouring the divine blood, he felt that his body was about to explode. At the critical moment, a woman suddenly appeared and kissed him. Then a strange energy entered his body and helped him successfully absorb the Mu family's divine blood.
He had suspected Xiao Qing before, but there was no evidence.
After seeing Suzaku in human form just now, he had the answer in his mind.
"Master, master, what are you talking about, I, I don't know..."
Xiaoqing broke away from Lu Chen's hand, and then disappeared. When Lu Chen chased him back to the small courtyard, he heard Bai Xian'er say.
"Lu Chen, why did you offend Xiaoqing? She asked me not to tell you that she was in my arms."
As soon as she finished speaking, Xiaoqing's roar came from her chest: "Bai Xian'er, you don't keep your integrity!"
Bai Xian'er patted her body and said teasingly: "I didn't promise you to hide it from Lu Chen. By the way, Lu Chen, have you got the magic fruit?"
"Well, leave it to Fairy Zhou. Yuhan should wake up soon." Lu Chen said with a smile.
Several people were very happy when they heard this. After so many hardships, they finally rescued Zhao Yuhan.
"Lao Lu, what should we do next?" Xuan Qi asked.
"Wait, after the written examination is over tomorrow, you will leave with Fairy Zhou. With her protecting you, the people in Kunlun Immortal Palace will not dare to embarrass you." Lu Chen said solemnly.
He has already decided that whether he uses Zen Master Long Zhi's plan or seeks cooperation with Tian Sanjiu, he will act alone.
"No, we are brothers, we can handle things together."
"Yes, sir, let us stay."
Lu Chen shook his head, walked over and patted Lan Pengfei on the head, and then said with a smile: "Pengfei, you have been following me for so long, and now I give you your freedom."
After saying that, he returned to the room alone.
Lan Pengfei was stunned because he felt that the sword that had been hanging in his heart had disappeared...
He is free! !
He had fantasized about this day countless times. He had thought about returning to China to rebuild the Wuji Palace after the soul-controlling spell was lifted. He had thought about taking revenge on the Xuanyin Sect and the Jushen Department...
But when he really regained his freedom, he suddenly felt a sense of loss in his heart.
He didn't know whether it was the subtle influence of the soul control technique or other reasons, but he felt that Lu Chen was his son.
"Sir, I won't leave!"
Lan Pengfei tightly covered his fists and spoke in a low voice.
Feng Xue and Mu Qingyi lowered their heads and looked a little ugly, because they still had the soul control skills and couldn't leave even if they wanted to.
…
Lu Chen returned to the room and took out the magic fruit.
This divine fruit can not only cure diseases, but also increase the strength of a person's soul. He is going to swallow the divine fruit. If...if it can make his soul enter the half-step of the Heavenly Master realm, then even if he faces the Heavenly Master, he will I also have the confidence to survive.
He took a deep breath and bit on the divine fruit.
The divine fruit is very juicy and tastes similar to a cantaloupe. It is soft, glutinous and sweet. After entering the divine fruit, his soul seems to have received sufficient nourishment and has been boosted crazily.
This kind of improvement is very fast, and in the blink of an eye, you have reached the perfection of the later stage of the Grand Master.
There is only one step left to become a half-step Heavenly Master.
But this step was like a chasm. No matter how hard he tried, he could not cross it. He tried several times, but ultimately failed.
"Stop trying. You haven't survived the catastrophe. The strongest soul can only go so far."
Kunkun flew out, sat on the chair and said: "Now run the "Guimen Heart Sutra" to convert the excess soul power in the divine fruit into your merit, otherwise it will all be wasted."
Lu Chen didn't have time to think too much and immediately did as he said. Sure enough, after the Heart Sutra was activated, the power of the soul that had nowhere to vent before turned into merit.
This merit is very huge. After absorbing it all, Lu Chen's "The Third Volume of the Heart Sutra of the Ghost Gate" reached 80% completion!
Only the last 20% is left to achieve perfection in cultivation.
If it can reach Consummation, then... maybe there will be new understanding.
However, at this moment, Xuanqi's voice suddenly came from outside.
"Old Lu, Zhou Xingyu from Tianshi Mansion is here."
