The "Special Exhibition of the Zodiac Beast Head Bronze Sculptures" has not yet concluded, and yet another bronze statue has been added.
Other countries have also added exhibits in prominent positions within their respective museums.
Many people who love their national culture are visiting like it's a festival, bringing along family and friends for tours.
Of course, at the sa ti, the underworld bounties on cultural relic thieves have increased by 50 million US dollars.
Lu Zheng sighed, "If we weren't already rich, I might have played the scapegoat, taken the bla, and claid those hundreds of millions in bounty."
...
After spending a weekend with Lin Wan, traveling around the world, Lu Zheng once again crossed over to ancient tis. anwhile, Liu Qingyan and Shen Ying had already prepared gifts for Wansong Daoist.
Two pounds of Cyan Strange Spirit Tea.
A Go set with Han Baiyu and Obsidian as pieces, and a Phoenix Perch Wood board.
A set of purple clay tea ware made by a descendant of Wusu, purchased online by Lu Zheng himself.
Additionally, there was a set of Qing porcelain and a set of white porcelain artistic wine vessels, both elegant and beautiful.
Although these items were not particularly valuable, Wansong Daoist did not lack anything, and giving these items would be practical and truly considerate.
Lu Zheng nodded, deciding that would be it.
"Let's go!"
This ti, traveling to the Southern Border, there was no need to walk like they did for Hu Zhou's wedding. With a wave of Lu Zheng's hand, they rose on the clouds, and the three of them rode on clouds and mist, flying straight to the Southern Border.
...
Lu Zheng flew with the two won, skirting around tall, magnificent mountains, forests with unusual phenona, or great lakes shrouded in deep clouds and mist, just to be safe.
The three of them flew mid-air, surrounded by thick and endless white clouds, and no one dared to provoke them.
Therefore, they smoothly arrived at Southern Border Wansong Mountain.
"Elder Wansong! Lu Zheng pays his respects!"
Upon entering the realm of Wansong Mountain, Lu Zheng had already loudly communicated this.
"Lu Xiaoyou is here?"
Wansong Daoist's gentle voice rang in the ears of the three.
"Please co in."
The next mont, dots of erald green light appeared in the sky, flickering and floating around the group, seemingly welcoming them.
Lu Zheng could feel the vibrant Spiritual Qi within the erald green light, utterly amazed. It could only be said that after acquiring the heritage of Chi Songzi, Wansong Daoist had reached even greater heights, and his cultivation was even stronger.
Lu Zheng took Liu Qingyan's and Shen Ying's hands, flying directly to the peak of Wansong Mountain.
Soon, layers of clouds parted, revealing the peak of Wansong Mountain, and Lu Zheng saw Wansong Daoist sitting beneath an ancient pine tree on the mountaintop, by the stone platform.
However, at this mont, Wansong Daoist was not playing chess with himself as he usually did; sitting opposite him was another figure.
Clad in a Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix Golden Patterned Red Brocade Palace Attire, with a Phoenix Spreading Wings Golden Threaded Red Pearl Phoenix Hairpin, her willow eyebrows flew obliquely with cloud-like hair, and her phoenix eyes were radiant and colorful — she was a stunningly beautiful woman with a cold deanor.
Lu Zheng descended with the two won, landing straight on the peak of Wansong Mountain.
"Elder Wansong!" Lu Zheng cupped his hands in salute.
Liu Qingyan followed with a respectful bow, "White Fox Liu Qingyan, greets Elder Wansong!"
"Peach Blossom Shen Ying, greets Elder Wansong!"
Wansong Daoist stroked his beard and smiled, giving a mundane glance at the two won, "Good, good."
He then gestured towards the woman opposite, "This is Si Lingxi, the master of Phoenix Mountain."
"Master of Phoenix Mountain?" Lu Zheng and the two won were bewildered but instantly realized, this Phoenix Mountain was not that Phoenix Mountain.
"Greetings, Fairy Si!" The three bowed in unison.
Si Lingxi turned to look at them, nodded slightly, and then her gaze fell on Shen Ying, "Peach Blossom Fairy?"
"In the presence of seniors, I dare not claim the title of fairy," Shen Ying bowed slightly and replied modestly.
"No need to be modest, after all, you avenged my maid," Si Lingxi said.
Shen Ying blinked, puzzled; we are eting you for the first ti, right?
Si Lingxi waved her hand, and a small fan about an inch long flew out from Shen Ying's sleeve. The small fan grew with the wind, instantly becoming a round fan about a foot in circumference, landing in Si Lingxi's hand.
"This fan…" Shen Ying's eyes flashed as she recalled the fan's situation, "So that's how it is. I wondered how the Wild Boar Demon had such a treasure; turns out it belonged to the fairy's maid."
Back then, the Wild Boar Demon, of considerable Dao Practice, captured Tao Zhen. Later, Shen Ying killed him and acquired this round fan, judging that the boar must have taken it from sowhere. It seed they had found the rightful owner now.
However…
Seeing how Si Lingxi behaved before Wansong Daoist...
That Wild Boar Demon was indeed daring. With only three to four hundred years of Dao Practice, he dared to provoke the maid of such a person, and he even managed to escape safely to the Central Plains?
Si Lingxi's fingertips kindled points of Starfire, and she lightly drew on the fan's surface, causing a wisp of Starfire Curse Seal to flicker montarily before rging into the round fan.
Si Lingxi sent the round fan gently back into Shen Ying's hands, "On behalf of Zi Qing, I thank you for avenging her."
"Thanks to the senior for bestowing the treasure; I rely acted out of convenience." Shen Ying received the round fan with ease, stowing it into her sleeve.
A hint of satisfaction flashed in Si Lingxi's eyes as she looked toward Liu Qingyan, remarking, "rit Golden Light triggered the Celestial Fox bloodline, not bad."
Finally, she looked at Lu Zheng, curiosity finally flashing in her eyes, and she asked with intrigue, "You actually triumphed over the old pine tree, helped him win the dream chess ga, and obtained the Chi Songzi heritage?"
Inside, Lu Zheng felt a prickle of pride, but he rely smiled and nodded, "I was pretty lucky."
Si Lingxi's lips curled slightly, "Pretty lucky, huh?"
"Mainly, I didn't anticipate just how skilled Elder Wansong was," Lu Zheng laughed, "Now that Elder Wansong has solved the dream chess ga, his chess skills have greatly improved. Now I am no match for him."
Wansong Daoist couldn't help but smile, nodding at Lu Zheng, "Knowing now that you can't beat , why didn't you seek out to train in chess? Didn't I ntion that one year in seclusion would suffice?"
Lu Zheng laughed, "Timing was a bit busy, and I've made considerable progress in cultivation over these two years. I've even found a new successor for the 'Red Pine Seed's Left Caution Jade Water Pill Scripture'."
Wansong Daoist looked at Liu Qingyan, naturally detecting her dicinal aroma, "Not avoiding promoting family, is she? Young lady, do you have any questions during your cultivation?"
Before Liu Qingyan could speak, Lu Zheng patted his gourd, took two porcelain bottles in hand, and offered them to Wansong Daoist, "These are refined by Qingyan; would the elder evaluate them?"
Wansong Daoist accepted the bottles, and without opening them, his eyes lit up as he appraised Liu Qingyan, "Less than five hundred years of Dao Practice, and only two years of cultivation, yet you have such capabilities?
Not bad, a good candidate for cultivating the 'Jade Water Pill Scripture', and it seems you've reached a bottleneck. Thus… stay to cultivate on Wansong Mountain for a while, and once you make a breakthrough, we'll talk again."
