I Have A Dual World Seal

Chapter 1108: Chapter 1107: Win-Win for Si Lingxi and the Lianshan Sect

Early the next morning, someone communicated through the peach tree branches to greet Shen Ying.

At that time, Shen Ying was lying in Lu Zheng’s arms with Liu Qingyan on one side.

Responding gracefully to the greeting and offering a few admonitions and comfort, Shen Ying turned back to see Lu Zheng and Liu Qingyan staring curiously, called out charmingly, and started the battle again.

...

"That was a peach grove in Qunyang County, Luo State within Yinan Dao, where one of the earlier Peach Blossom Temples was built," Shen Ying said, "It’s relatively close to Lingbei Dao, so Tao Zhen and the others went there first."

Speaking of this, Shen Ying felt a bit resigned, "For the next few days, I fear I’ll have to frequently reply."

The Incense and Candle Gods of those Peach Blossom Temples, once they get the peach tree branches, although they don’t reach out without reasons, it’s only customary for them to greet quickly.

"In a month’s time at most, Tao Zhen and the others will come back," Liu Qingyan consoled.

Shen Ying nodded and then shook her head slightly, "That depends on how many affairs those Peach Blossom Temples have."

Besides the forty-seven larger Peach Blossom Temples, there are also thirty-eight small countryside temples that need attention from the Celestial Maidens.

Shen Ying specifically instructed that they are not allowed to act separately, so the time will potentially be longer.

Shen Ying wasn’t anxious; the only drawback was that frequent communication in these few days made traveling to Blue Star inconvenient.

"You should return, I need to start a retreat for half a month," Shen Ying said reluctantly.

Liu Qingyan needed to sit at Renxin Hall, Yang Caiyi had just begun her training, Si Lingxi moved back to Lu Residence, and the only one available to run around was Lu Zheng; Shen Ying couldn’t expect him to come every day.

If messages come at a crucial moment, interrupting her focus, Shen Ying worried she might unable to hold back and dismiss the sender.

As expected, just when several were having breakfast, new greetings arrived from afar.

After finishing breakfast, Shen Ying responded with some formulaic statements and sent the two away, then returned to Taohua Village for her retreat.

When Lu Zheng and Liu Qingyan returned to Tonglin County, they found Yang Caiyi had already started helping out in Renxin Hall.

Just like Du Yueyao, one cannot train non-stop; once in the morning and evening was enough, the rest of the time...

Renxin Hall was waiting for them!

Seeing Yang Caiyi skillfully assisting at the medicine counter and beside Elder Liu, even motivating the two partners to get active, Lu Zheng shook his head with a smile, "If we get two more disciples to help, these two partners can be dismissed."

Liu Qingyan couldn’t help but laugh, gently patting Lu Zheng before entering Renxin Hall.

Lu Zheng returned home to find Si Lingxi leisurely lying under the persimmon tree, swaying.

"Ying closed for retreat?" Si Lingxi asked.

Lu Zheng nodded, shifted his body, and squeezed into the lounge chair, pulling Si Lingxi into his embrace.

Si Lingxi lazily turned her body to find a comfortable position.

Upon contact, Si Lingxi’s eyes suddenly lit up, "Innate Cloud Qi? Did Dongyangzi pass the ’Innate Taiqing Rootless Cloud Qi Scripture’ to you?"

Lu Zheng nodded, "Also the ’Taiqing True Scripture of Cloud Refining Secret Technique’."

"You’ve already cultivated it?" Si Lingxi was quite surprised, "It’s only been a few days, I’ve heard Innate Cloud Qi is quite hard to cultivate?"

Lu Zheng boasted, "I am uniquely gifted, and the Phoenix Divine Fire cultivation progressed rapidly too!"

"That’s because I practiced dual cultivation with you, and there’s also your secret, hmm?" Si Lingxi’s eyes turned slightly, smiling knowingly, "So, your cultivation of Sword Technique and Thunder Technique, Wind Technique and Water Technique, are all because of your unique talent?"

Lu Zheng replied proudly, "Exactly so!"

Jade Seal, "..."

Si Lingxi couldn’t help but laugh but didn’t say anything else. Depending on external objects, so what, those objects are obtained through one’s skills, and luck is also a reflection of personal strength.

A Phoenix Bloodline is a significant factor in her current achievements.

Lu Zheng held Si Lingxi and spoke of events on White Cloud Mountain.

"So Huang Ruoxing from the Observatory knows about our relationship now."

"No matter," Si Lingxi said.

"Huang Ruoxing said he would search for traces of demonic qi in Pingdong Dao, but there was no news afterward; we don’t know what the situation is."

Lu Zheng shook his head, then turned the topic to Blue Star, chatting about Yellow Crane Tower and sperm whales.

"What about you?" Lu Zheng asked, "Did you meet Elder Wansong?"

"Heh, an old homebody; I wouldn’t visit him unless I wanted a chess match."

Si Lingxi said, "Linglong invited me, so I went with Meng Ye to gather at Linglong Valley."

"Linglong Fairy? Lianshan Sect Leader?"

Lu Zheng had knowledge of the major forces in the Southern Border from Si Lingxi, so naturally, he had heard of the names connected well with Si Lingxi.

Linglong Fairy, as a Spirit Jade that absorbed the essence of Sun and Moon, nurtured intelligence becoming a spirit; exceptionally rare, with remarkable origins and a peaceful disposition, she doesn’t fight for power and stays on her land, never engaging in disputes among the great forces of the Southern Border.

If Wansong Daoist is a homebody, Linglong Fairy is truly a homebody.

Both are powerful, so no one dares to provoke thoughtlessly.

The other, Meng Ye, is the current Lianshan Sect Leader; although his cultivation is slightly weak, he doesn’t lack Magical Treasure and Secret Technique, more importantly, he is only over three hundred years old, with plenty of room for progress.

According to Si Lingxi, Meng Ye spent many years in retreat, intending to raise his cultivation significantly, to truly awe the Four Directions and protect Lianshan Sect’s people.

As Phoenix Mountain treats its people well, and Si Lingxi’s strength is adequate, she has always been respected by Lianshan Sect, maintaining a good relationship.

"Has he emerged from retreat?" Lu Zheng asked.

Si Lingxi nodded, "He has."

"Linglong also just emerged, hence sending posts to me and Meng Ye."

Si Lingxi smiled slightly, "I told them about slaying Divine Monarch Xuan Ruo."

Lu Zheng’s eyes sparkled, "And then?"

"Few people know about it, so Meng Ye plans to take advantage of Great Abyss Marsh."

Si Lingxi laughed, "Meng Ye will handle the remaining demons and devils in Great Abyss Marsh, but the harvest, I get thirty percent."

Given Si Lingxi’s status, raiding targets is too low for her tastes; she won’t do it, and she lacks nothing.

Even Ao Qi would disdain pillaging, let alone Si Lingxi, even if the opponent was Divine Monarch Xuan Ruo, she wouldn’t care.

However, giving this deal as a favor doesn’t bother her, as she doesn’t need it, but the Lianshan Sect, having a large establishment, does, especially since they have a grudge against Divine Monarch Xuan Ruo.

Thus, the arrangement happened naturally.

And since Si Lingxi removed the greatest threat, though not for Lianshan Sect, they could not take it for granted and needed to show appreciation.

Therefore, thirty percent of the harvest was a form of gratitude to Si Lingxi.

This is what is called a win-win!
