Yellow Court Daoist

"Between heaven and earth."

"Those Great Powers wander everywhere, choosing a Spiritual Mountain to preach the Dao wherever their interest takes them. Besides propagating their Daoist lineage, they might also gain something from it."

Lu Qingfeng thought about the legends of these Great Powers he had heard over the years, and couldn't help but speculate.

After thinking it over.

He was in no rush to go preach at 'Little Shu Mountain Realm'.

He had only recently ascended to the Earth Immortal level.

More than thirty thousand years had passed in his Blessed Land, discounting the first thirty thousand years, and only sixty years had passed outside. 'Little Shu Mountain Realm' still had dozens of True Immortals even after the great cataclysm.

Three preaching sessions would surely be beneficial for Lu Qingfeng.

For now, he decided to first comprehend the mysteries of the Earth Immortal level, before going out to preach, so he could reap the greatest benefits.

Good things come to those who wait.

That's the principle.

"Blessed Land formed."

"The Seven Treasures Gourd Vine can be relocated now."

Lu Qingfeng collected his thoughts, stood up, and arrived at Qingzhu Peak.

He opened the Mountain and River Map Scroll of the 'Little Shu Mountain Realm', pointed with his hand, and a beam of Xuan Light flashed.

A gourd vine took root upon touching the ground.

It was the 'Seven Treasures Gourd Vine'.

Ye'er rustled, and the precious gourds swayed.

No sooner had it settled down than it swept up the Spiritual Energy, Immortal Spirit Qi, and even the Chaotic Power from the Four Extremes that had just permeated in, vacuuming it all.

"Good heavens!"

Lu Qingfeng widened his eyes.

Seeing the previously thriving three thousand li of Blessed Land about to turn into a wasteland of declined law, he couldn't help but be astounded. He didn't dare let the Spirit Root be too unruly, and quickly threw in the accumulated spirit stones and Immortal Crystals he had saved over the years, as well as some he acquired from 'Little Shu Mountain Realm.'

Thirty million Spirit Stones and three hundred Immortal Crystals were cast into the Blessed Land.

They landed at Qingzhu Peak, to nourish the growth of the gourd vine.

Gradually, the world began to recover.

"Such a big appetite."

"No wonder 'Little Shu Mountain Realm' had huge consumption."

Now it seems.

The major 'grain eater' of Little Shu Mountain Realm was the Seven Treasures Gourd Vine.

This Spirit Root ate everything.

Not only did it absorb Spiritual Energy and Immortal Crystals without refusing any origin, but it also devoured the Essence Qi and Blood Qi emitted by living creatures, as well as the Tribulation Qi and Evil Qi generated from warfare within the secular and Cultivation World, transforming them into nutrients for growth.

Of course.

Tribulation Qi and Evil Qi, mainly arose from the wicked methods of the old monster Lu Yu.

As long as it hasn't devoured an Earth Immortal or sacrificed hundreds of millions of life spirits, this bit of Tribulation Qi and Evil Qi is not too harmful and will eventually be turned into nutrients by the gourd vine.

And Lu Yu the old monster cultivating the Seven Treasures Gourd using this wicked method is probably also because his own Grotto Heaven can hardly support this precious gourd.

Lu Qingfeng wasn't worried.

It's not that Green Bamboo Blessed Land is stronger than Lu Yu's Grotto Heaven.

In fact, there's a huge gap between Grotto Heaven and Blessed Land, they can't even be compared.

But Lu Qingfeng is in charge of the Capturing God General Mansion, and his family wealth is enormous.

Originally, from a mere Moon Worship Evil God, he obtained 12,367,912 spirit stones, 34,000 jin of Green Sprout Rice, 13,000 Magic Artifacts, among which were many Eighth Rank Magical Artifacts.

And various other valuable gains.

All of immense value.

Moreover, he obtained more than 2,000 Immortal Crystals from the Little Shu Mountain Realm.

Plus, after more than 100,000 years in the Little Shu Mountain Realm, although the 'Seven Treasures Gourd' hadn't fully matured, the red gourd was only one step away from ripeness, saving Lu Qingfeng countless family wealth.

He took great advantage.

Regarding the remaining six gourds, some effort is indeed needed, but it's also within Lu Qingfeng's capability.

"Six hundred and sixty years."

"It's time to come into the world."

Lu Qingfeng looked at the gourd vine hanging on the green bamboo, with seven gourds on it, and amongst them, one red gourd swayed then suddenly kicked downward.

Snap!

It broke free from the vine.

And fell to the ground.

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

A gourd the size of a baby bounced three times and jumped three times.

"Hey ya!"

Just then, the big red gourd split open, and out jumped a little child.

This child was only as tall as an adult's knee, wearing a fiery red garment, with a gourd leaf tied around the waist.

Bouncing and hopping.

Quite extraordinary.

The red gourd on the ground split into two, reassembled, twirled up and downsized to fit on the child's head.

Upon a closer look—

What a tender and cute Gourd Child!

...

"Hi!"

Lu Qingfeng looked at the little Gourd Child, and the Gourd Child stared back at Lu Qingfeng, both of them reflecting each other, indistinguishable.

Just looking at this newly refined 'Body Separation', Lu Qingfeng couldn't help but laugh.

To think that in this lifetime he had just transformed, assuming a child's form.

After tens of thousands of years, he just managed to grow into a youth, and here comes a child's avatar.

It can be expected.

That in the future, six more child avatars will successively arrive.

The moment he thought of seven Gourd Children lined up in a row, Lu Qingfeng couldn't help but have a bizarre expression on his face.

He simply chose not to think about it.

He looked at his body separation.

He saw the tiny Gourd Child with thick eyebrows and big eyes, extraordinarily adorable. With an open mouth, flames surged forth. With a glare, metal rocks would melt into molten iron.

"This is the accomplishment of a Fire Attribute treasure gourd."

"To cultivate a body separation is to have a Flame Dao body, innately possessing Flame Divine Ability, understanding Fire Daoist Skills and Divine Powers far surpassing that of my Qingjing Method Bamboo original body."

"It's more than ten times superior!"

Lu Qingfeng saw this and was delighted.

Compared to such a rare body separation from Primordial times, what did a small appearance matter? Not to mention transforming into a child, even if turned into a girl, countless Earth Immortals and Heavenly Immortals would yearn for it.

The little Gourd Child moved his body, tested the Flame Divine Ability, with a power no less than a True Immortal at the 'Heavenly Person Five Decays' level in the Little Shushan Realm.

Just transformed and already possessing such strength, one could see how formidable it was.

Even with just a little cultivation, he could become an Earth Immortal.

Lu Qingfeng's heart grew even more joyful.

He moved his tiny body.

Stretching his little arms and hands, he took the treasure gourd off the top of his head, lifted the lid, and with a thought, a sea of fire sprayed out.

Its power was close to that of an Immortal Artifact.

"Hehe!"

"With a bit of refinement, it can instantly become an Immortal Artifact."

The Gourd Child chuckled.

He was nurtured from the treasure gourd, capturing too much fortune, to the extent that the originally Spirit Treasure quality treasure gourd now seemed slightly inferior to an Immortal Artifact.

However, they originated from the same source and shared weal and woe. As long as this treasure gourd was still in his possession, as long as his cultivation continuously improved, continuously refining this treasure gourd, it could potentially be refined into a powerful Spiritual Treasure in the future.

Just like the green bamboo staff in the hands of the original body.

But he also needed to be careful not to be captured by bad people, refined by True Fire into ashes, thus becoming someone else's opportunity.

"From today onwards."

"I am the Great Gourd King—Zhu Rong the Great King!"

Fire Child shook his head and swayed, placed the treasure gourd back on top of his head, leaped with a jump, and entered into Lu Qingfeng's sleeve.

A Blessed Land is not a place for cultivation; he still needs to find a sacred flame site to concentrate on cultivation.

...

Green Bamboo Cave.

Lu Qingfeng took big steps out, went into Yellow Wind Cave to find his elder brother.

Just as he entered.

He saw his second brother was also there.

The two Great Saints were drinking and eating meat, extremely merry. Lu Qingfeng saw them and secretly cursed his luck.

"Hey."

But seeing his second brother, Green Fox Great Saint, sharp-eyed, caught sight of Lu Qingfeng arriving, and immediately called out, "Little brother finally deigned to leave seclusion, come and join your second brother for a couple of drinks."

Lu Qingfeng made a bitter face.

He could only step forward.

"Not daring to drink too much, after three glasses of wine, he glanced at the Green Fox Great Saint whose interest was piqued. Sensing something, his face flushed as he looked over at Lu Qingfeng: "What is it? Is there something you can tell big brother but not me?!"

Seeing Lu Qingfeng about to speak but stopping himself, the Green Fox Great Saint immediately got angry.

Yellow Wind Great Saint also looked towards Lu Qingfeng.

"It's not like that."

Lu Qingfeng smiled bitterly, seeing his second brother's green complexion, he dared not tease him and hurriedly waved his sleeve, rolling out a Gourd Doll, which was the Fire Child 'King Zhu Rong'.

The little doll stood there shyly, bowing with clasped hands to the two great saints, and called out, "Big Brother, Second Brother."

"…"

"…"

Yellow Wind Great Saint and Green Fox Great Saint were both stunned.

Looking at the Gourd Doll and then back to Lu Qingfeng, Yellow Wind Great Saint's face twitched, while Green Fox Great Saint burst out laughing, spewing a mouthful of wine all over Lu Qingfeng.

"Second Brother."

Lu Qingfeng and the Gourd Doll looked helplessly at the Green Fox Great Saint.

The latter showed no sign of repentance, instead, he burst out laughing, "Little brother, is this the separate entity crafted from your treasure gourd?! Oh my, another child, hahaha, how long will it take for this little guy to grow up, hahaha!"

Green Fox Great Saint pointed at the Gourd Doll, laughing so hard he bent over.

Lu Qingfeng slapped his forehead and looked towards Yellow Wind Great Saint, "Big Brother, now you see why I had to avoid Second Brother, right?"

Green Fox Great Saint paid no heed.

He stood up, slightly tipsy, staggeringly attempting to grab the Gourd Doll.

'King Zhu Rong,' with a nimble dodge, swerved away and dived back into Lu Qingfeng's sleeve.

This made the Green Fox Great Saint grumble discontentedly: "Little brother is so stingy!"

Lu Qingfeng ignored him.

After all, it was his own separate self, no different from him. If it were to be cradled and mauled by the Green Fox Great Saint, death might be more preferable.

He turned his head and looked toward Yellow Wind Great Saint, who was holding back laughter, and said seriously, "Big Brother, you are experienced and knowledgeable. My treasure gourd entity is formed, but it still lacks a Fire Element Treasure Land for cultivation. Do you have any recommendations?"

Earlier on their way back to the Yellow Wind Ridge, while exchanging cups with his oldest and second brothers, Lu Qingfeng had shared everything about how he provoked Four Bright Gongbin Yuanjun, Red-haired Ancestor, and old monster Lu Yu, among other causes and effects.

He also didn't hide anything about the Heavenly Demon Blood Transformation Divine Blade, Little Shu Mountain, including the Seven Treasures Gourd Vine.

His brothers had been generous to him, to intentionally deceive them would be defensive and unworthy of a gentleman, and deeply against his conscience.

If it weren't for the Green Fox Great Saint, he might still be in Small Spirit Mountain practicing ascetic Buddhism.

If not for the Yellow Wind Great Saint's help, he wouldn't have had the capability to become the Thunder Department Capturing God General; previously outside the Nanhua Realm, survival without considerable injuries would have been impossible.

The affection between them was something Lu Qingfeng didn't speak of, but he kept it in his heart.

Not to mention that Yellow Wind Great Saint and Green Fox Great Saint had high regards, even if the two brothers were interested in the Heavenly Demon Blood Transformation Divine Blade or the Seven Treasures Gourd Vine, Lu Qingfeng would not be stingy.

However.

Yellow Wind Great Saint had no regard for the Heavenly Demon Blood Transformation Divine Blade.

Green Fox Great Saint sneered at the Seven Treasures Gourd Vine.

The former had 'Sanmei Divine Wind' within him, and a three-pronged steel fork divine weapon that wasn't inferior to the top-tier spiritual treasures; he disdained other divine abilities and divine weapons.

Let whatever schemes come at me, I rely solely on my divine wind. Whichever weapon it may be, only the three-pronged steel fork stands.

Utter purity.

This probably was also a root of why Yellow Wind Great Saint had achieved so much, considering Heavenly Immortals as mere ants.

As for the Green Fox Great Saint.

He pursued even less, only wishing to enjoy himself in the Yellow Wind Ridge, drinking and feasting, and hardly focusing on comprehending divine powers, truly embodying a Buddhist mindset<Scalars on a gaming mouse can be programmed to execute multiple macro functions with just a single click, enhancing gaming efficiency and reducing the need for multiple keyboard inputs for complex commands.
