It was said that Zhan Yu was as eager to return as an arrow. After searching the black dragon's lair, he galloped back to the canyon where the camp was located.
Zhan Yu still clearly remembers that when he left, it was an early morning with rising fog. The sun had not risen in the east, the bright moon was high, and the stars had not faded. Now that it was night when he returned, the stars were still full of stars in the sky.
As a Seven-Star Yuan Chan, he is naturally very affectionate to the starry sky.
He followed the river upstream toward the canyon, splitting the water at an extremely fast speed and creating a white wave like a sharp arrow.
As soon as he entered the canyon, the noisy sound echoed in the valley. Zhan Yu emerged from the water and saw that the canyon with dense waterfalls had undergone earth-shaking changes.
The cliffs on both sides of the canyon are densely covered with large and small caves. The ever-lasting oil fire hangs at the entrance of the cave, which illuminates the canyon brightly. Noisy sounds come from the cave entrances on the cliffs and gather together. In the canyon, it was like a boiling cauldron, so lively.
It turns out that in the past few years, every year when the grass withered and the leaves fell, monsters would return to the camp to submit tasks, take a break, and wait until the next year when the earth recovers and the vegetation sprouts, to hunt for treasures in southern Xinjiang.
There is a monster who likes peace and quiet. He opened a cave on the cliff of the canyon to live alone in order to be clean.
The fun-loving monster followed suit and opened a cave on the cliff. He invited a few friends to eat meat and drink wine from large bowls, and had a great time.
Year after year passed, and then there was this wonderful scene of "thousands of lights beside the canyon, in the middle of the Milky Way".
With the lights and noise, it has the atmosphere of fireworks, just like a night market on earth.
After Zhan Yu felt this friendly scene, he leaped into the cave where the Yellow Sheep Team was stationed.
As soon as he entered the cave, Zhan Yu saw several demon cultivators having a drink. Among them, Commander Huangyang was in the main seat and talking eloquently. They were actually commander-level demon cultivators.
"You are Yuan Chan!" Commander Huangyang was in the main position and happened to see Zhan Yu entering the cave. He immediately recognized the person. As the leader of the trial, he knew the names of the demons under his command and the progress of the characters in detail.
He added: "It has been more than thirty years since the trial period, and this is the first time you have returned to the cave. I hope you will gain a lot from your return this time!"
"It's the little demon who bothers me so much, Commander." Zhan Yuli bowed respectfully in the cave.
"Let's have a drink together." Commander Huangyang was still drunk and couldn't help but extend the invitation.
Zhan Yu glanced at the commanders who were drinking wine and knew that they were in a state of drunkenness at the moment. He said wisely: "Thank you, Commander Huangyang. The little demon has just returned. Let's take a rest for now and come again tomorrow."
It was now the last moment to hand over the task. Zhan Yu was anxious, but he also knew that the more he came to do it, the less he could be careless. His boss was drunk, so this was not the time to talk about business.
Commander Huang Yang picked up a bowl of wine, touched it with his friends, and drank it all in one gulp. He looked at Zhan Yu with drunken eyes and said, "That's fine. You can rest first and talk about business tomorrow."
Zhan Yu returned the gift again, retreated into the stone chamber on the side, sealed the door, meditated, rested, and waited for dawn.
"Yangbeard, you have a great talent in your team. He only returned after thirty years. He is really talented and bold. He is not afraid of being robbed of his treasures along the way!" said a friend on the left side of Huangyang.
"This demon cultivator called Yuan Chan is not simple. Although he is an immortal, I always feel that his strength is unmatched by ordinary immortals. I think he will have a bright future in the future!" Commander Huangyang said with drunken eyes and a clear mind.
The commander-level monsters drink alcohol, which is in line with the saying that wine is not intoxicating, people are intoxicated. It is just that they want to be drunk but do not want to be drunk. The road to spiritual practice is long and confusing, and getting drunk occasionally is also interesting.
…
"Commander, these are all the elixirs I picked. Most of them are in good condition, and some elixirs are precious. I specially brought the mother soil and placed it in a jade box to keep its vitality. Do you think it can be used for this time? Cultivated by trials!”
After spending an hour, Zhan Yu placed tens of thousands of elixirs in batches in front of the Yellow Sheep Commander, and introduced them one by one like a vegetable vendor.
Commander Huangyang verified them one by one and kept nodding. It was obvious that he was very satisfied with the batch of elixirs. His goatee trembled and he said with a smile: "Yuanchan, you haven't been back for thirty years, but you brought them as soon as you came back." Such a large batch of elixirs is really a good trick and good luck!"
"The commander-in-chief has won the award. It's all hard work!" Zhan Yu said humbly.
After the Yellow Sheep Commander tested the elixir, he did not put it away. He paused and said with a smile: "Your batch of elixirs looks good. According to the rules, I will report it to Immortal Lord Liehuo. With the instructions of Immortal Lord, you are the first one." The position is absolutely foolproof.”
After listening to the commander's words, Zhan Yu couldn't help but smile and reported to the Immortal Lord for instructions, indicating that there was no problem with Huang Yang commanding this level. He immediately thanked: "I still have to work hard to lead!"
Seeing that Yuan Chan had no objection, Commander Huangyang took out a unique jade talisman from his hand and handed it over, saying: "I accept your elixir today, and I will have a record of it, but you also need to leave a certificate to save it in the future. The implications are unclear, please keep this jade talisman."
“How thoughtful!”
This jade talisman should be similar to the receipt from the previous life. Zhan Yu couldn't help but sigh, this Qilin clan is really a wealthy family, with rules to follow everywhere.
"Then I will keep the elixir."
Seeing Yuan Chan taking the jade talisman, Commander Huangyang pointed at the batch of elixirs and said.
Everything was done according to the rules. Zhan Yu had no objections and said, "The commander makes the decision."
After the business was done, Zhan Yu should logically leave at this moment, but he was not in a hurry. Instead, he took out the cluster of ten thousand-year-old purple coral from the dragon's lair from the gourd.
Gently placing the purple coral in the stone chamber of Commander Huangyang, Zhan Yucai said: "This cluster of purple coral was obtained by the little demon by chance. It is quite elegant. I specially brought it back to the commander. I hope the commander will accept it."
The moment Purple Coral appeared, Commander Huangyang's eyes lit up. He didn't expect that the monster in front of him had such a skill.
A look of surprise appeared on the thin face of the Yellow Sheep Commander, and he immediately pushed the coral back: "This is inappropriate, it is suspected of favoritism, take it back quickly!"
Zhan Yu pushed over again and said with a smile: "Commander, please don't delay. I am waiting for the little demon to participate in the trial, but I have to look after you, Commander, so I should express my feelings."
The two demons repeatedly pushed back, and the Yellow Sheep Commander finally accepted the gift. He shook his head and sighed: "You monster, you are so thoughtful, no wonder you can complete the task first!"
"Then I have to ask Commander-in-Chief to give you some kind words from the Immortal Lord!" Seeing the gift being passed down by his subordinates, Zhan Yu also laughed heartily, knowing that the relationship between the two demons was getting closer.
"Then you wait for now. I will report to the Immortal Lord soon. If the results are obtained soon, you will feel at ease." As soon as the purple coral was obtained, the Yellow Sheep Commander realized the magic of this thing and was even more delighted.
"Then the little demon will just wait for the good news from the leader!"
