Chapter 152: Unheard-of Gifts, the Return of the Phoenix Dragon Technique! (Part 2)
"
"What's the problem?" Old Lady Liu showed a moment of disappointment but then smiled, "Leave this matter to us, and we'll watch over it for you.
As the realization dawned on Lu Ming, he couldn't help but feel a sense of excitement.
Well, well.
So, you want me to stay here and refine pills for you in the future, right?
When you heard I was leaving, you offered to keep an eye on me?
If you watch over me, won't I owe you a favor?
If I owe you a favor, won't I have to repay it? Then, how can I refuse when you ask me to refine pills in the future?
But on second thought, there's no harm in it.
Helping you guard your home and getting 'paid' is only natural!
Moreover, this place is truly exceptional.
What was once the peak of Moonseizing Sect, its geographical location and abundant resources far surpass the current Moonseizing Sect's hundred and ten Spirit Mountains.
In terms of quantity and quality, they are all top-notch.
From any perspective, they are valuable assets.
Letting go of such resources would indeed be a pity.
Before, I didn't want to stay, but now that all the 'prerequisites' are in place, all I need to do is dedicate some time to refine pills for them. I can even let them prepare the materials themselves.
This is a good deal.
It's definitely worth it!
After a moment of contemplation, Lu Ming nodded, "Alright!"
"Since that's the case, I'll have to trouble you, Elder."
"And me, Dad, and me too!" Sang Biao, who had just left, jumped back in.
There were also the other powerful individuals who had displayed their abilities earlier.
Lu Ming laughed.
"Are you all interested?"
"It's not a bad idea."
"But, in the short term..."
After a brief discussion, both sides reached an agreement.
At least once every ten years, Lu Ming will come, and each time, he will refine at least ten high-quality pills suitable for their current cultivation level.
In return, they will guard this area, and Lu Ming can activate them whenever he needs them in the future.
This is undoubtedly a win-win situation, and Lu Ming has no reason to refuse.
Sang Biao and the others are also delighted.
One pill per year may seem like a small number, but in reality, it's a great profit.
After all, it's just 'guarding' a place, how troublesome can it be? This is a fantastic deal!
They laughed.
Lu Ming laughed as well.
This unexpected joy is indeed delightful.
"When Moonseizing Sect becomes stronger, and when we have our own Seventh Level experts, we can try to move back and announce our return!"
"However, if we move back, we'll be facing the Hua Yue Sect directly, so we should be cautious."
"But regardless, these Spirit Mountains are valuable assets, and keeping them has its benefits."
"..."
"They're all for your pills!"
Long Aojiao muttered.
"I know."
Lu Ming turned, "Isn't that what you want?"
"Of course not!" Long Aojiao asserted.
"Hmm?" Lu Ming was puzzled, "Don't you want to restore your male body with my pills?"
"How can it be the same?" Long Aojiao retorted angrily, "They're all mediocre people who want to become stronger, but I want to..."
Suddenly, she fell silent.
Damn it!
On second thought, isn't it also for becoming stronger?
"What are you doing it for?" Lu Ming persistently asked.
Long Aojiao could only change the subject, "Where are you going?"
"Hmm."
Lu Ming raised his eyebrows, "My relationship with Xiao Ling'er is quite good. This West Gate Phoenix is a traitor of Moonseizing Sect. Returning his body to her would be a great service to the sect, right?"
"Anyway, I'd be useless if I stayed."
"..."
"A lapdog?" Long Aojiao laughed.
Finally, she found a sense of superiority.
"Hahaha, you're no match for me!"
"In the beginning, Princess Qi tried every means to get me to do something for her, but how could I be that kind of person?"
"You haven't seen any benefits, and you want me to do something for her?"
"So, I tied her up, hahaha!"
"As for you, tsk tsk tsk."
"You've probably never held hands before, but you're always thinking of others. This is what a lapdog is, someone who talks big but does nothing!"
Lu Ming also laughed.
The term 'lapdog' exists in the Immortal Martial Continent and has been around for a long time.
But...
When did I become a lapdog? It's just an excuse to return West Gate Phoenix's body to Moonseizing Sect.
Lu Ming discovered that there was something odd about the phoenix tattoo on West Gate Phoenix's body! It's highly likely that the secrets of the Phoenix Technique are hidden within.
The Phoenix Technique is an incredibly powerful cultivation method, almost on par with the Phoenix.
It's a truly valuable asset.
Moreover, since it originally belonged to Moonseizing Sect, returning it is reasonable and just, and it's something he should do.
Therefore, he didn't argue.
Instead, he muttered, "What you said does make some sense."
"But I have one question."
"What question?" Long Aojiao's chest, Tall and Beautiful, trembled.
Finally, she regained some face, and she was delighted.
"Ahem, you said that you got Princess Qi in the past?"
"Of course!" Long Aojiao raised her head proudly, "Who do you think I am? That day, she was like a love-struck fool, worshipping me like a goddess!"
"Wow, that's impressive!"
"But now that you're in a female body, it's probably hard for you to even become a lapdog, right?"
"Of course, that's not my problem. My question is..."
"If you meet Princess Qi again, will you choose to acknowledge each other?"
The smile on Long Aojiao's face instantly vanished, replaced by shock, anger, and even...
Fear!
"What, what did you say?!"
"I didn't say anything, I was just asking." Lu Ming took a few steps back.
"Me, you, her..."
Long Aojiao's thoughts were in turmoil.
At this moment, she was almost on the verge of collapse.
"Don't talk nonsense!"
In the end, she shouted, "And don't reveal my identity, or I'll kill you even if I can't restore my male body again!"
Seeing her defense crumble, Lu Ming seized the opportunity, "Yes, yes, yes."
Long Aojiao: "..."
Lu Ming had agreed.
Damn it!!!
"You..."
"..."
"..."
"Fellow Daoist Lu Ming?"
Xiao Ling'er picked up the communication talisman, puzzled. "Why is he contacting me?"
However, she didn't hesitate and immediately left the mountain, heading towards the outskirts of Moonseizing Sect. From a distance, she spotted Lu Ming and smiled, "Fellow Daoist Lu Ming, it's been a while. How have you been lately?"
"I heard that not long ago, you caused a stir in the Xi Gate Family, even displaying your skills as a Grand Alchemy Grandmaster. Even if it's just hearsay, I feel my blood boiling with the desire to slay the Xi Gate Family members..."
"Thank you for your concern."
Lu Ming smiled, "I've been doing well lately."
Long Aojiao, who was hiding nearby, didn't follow.
Mainly because...
She was afraid of losing face.
Those who didn't know her identity might be intrigued by her cross-dressing and allure, but that's fine since they don't know who she is.
However, Xiao Ling'er and the others were aware of her identity, and this made Long Aojiao feel embarrassed. Naturally, she wouldn't casually show herself again.
"That's good."
The two walked side by side, speaking softly, "But I never expected that you also have grudges with the Xi Gate Family?"
"It's an old grudge."
Lu Ming shook his head and sighed, "The hatred between them and me isn't that great, but it's an ongoing feud with my elders. As juniors, if we don't have the strength, then so be it. But with strength, we must settle both old and new grudges!"
"You're absolutely right!"
"It's just a pity that I couldn't personally participate, I feel ashamed." Xiao Ling'er lamented.
"Why feel ashamed?"
Lu Ming shook his head and smiled, "By the way, this trip isn't just for a casual chat. I brought you a gift."
"A gift?!"
Xiao Ling'er's eyes lit up.
Could it be...
He wants to pursue me?
If that's the case, should I accept or...
"Yes, a gift!"
Amidst Xiao Ling'er's nervous and flustered expression, Lu Ming took out a... corpse!
"Ta-da~!"
"Do you like it?"
Xiao Ling'er: "???"
Looking at the already 'stiff' corpse, Xiao Ling'er's lips twitched, "This... this is the gift you mentioned?"
"Yes~!"
Lu Ming nodded, stating matter-of-factly, "You should have recognized it, right? This is the corpse of Xi Gate Phoenix!"
"Although it's just a corpse, I noticed that he always went shirtless, and the Phoenix tattoo on his body seems strange. There must be a hidden Phoenix Dragon Technique within."
"Furthermore, considering that the Phoenix Dragon Technique originally belonged to your Moonseizing Sect, and since you're a fellow Daoist, I brought it to you."
"So, do you like it?"
Xiao Ling'er: "..."
How can I respond to this?!
Huh?!
The usually mild-tempered Xiao Ling'er was almost driven crazy.
I thought you were going to confess to me!!!
I had already prepared to reject you.
After all, in my current state, it's not suitable for romantic entanglements.
But then you...?!
You sent a corpse as a gift and asked if I liked it?!
Me, this?!
How much courage does it take to say 'like' in this situation?! Who taught you to give a corpse as a gift to a girl?!
It's truly...
Mind-blowing! Xiao Ling'er's inner monologue, which is especially 'dramatic'.
"Cough, Ling'er, don't overthink it." Yao Ao advised.
"The complete Phoenix Dragon Technique is an invincible technique, extremely powerful. You can consider it as an invincible technique he sent."
"Teacher, I already know this, but..."
Who can say 'like' in this situation?!
"This, my master will definitely like it." Xiao Ling'er could only bring up Lin Fan.
But this statement made Lu Ming almost laugh out loud.
Yep.
Indeed, Lin Fan originally liked this 'gift'.
"That's good, that's good."
Lu Ming chuckled, "In that case, I have some other matters to attend to, so I'll take my leave. Please give my regards to Master Lin."
"Until we meet again."
After saying this, he turned and left.
Xiao Ling'er was left standing in the wind, feeling disoriented.
And by her side was the corpse of Xi Gate Phoenix, stiff and hard, supported by Primordial Energy.
Fortunately, as a cultivator, she was used to life and death, and the souls of the deceased were under her command.
Thankfully, Xi Gate Phoenix's cultivation realm was high, and his physical body was strong enough. Even after half a month, there were no signs of decay or putrid aura.
Otherwise...
She couldn't help but imagine the scene.
A Daoist friend came in the middle of the night to find her.
She went out to meet him.
The moon was bright, and the breeze was gentle, making people feel intoxicated.
She thought he was going to confess, her heart was in turmoil, and it took her a while to figure out how to reject him.
But then~
He suddenly expressed his intention to give her a gift.
Her heart raced, and her face turned red.
But when he took out the gift, it was a lifelike corpse...?!
What kind of bizarre scene is this?!
Even the usually calm and experienced Xiao Ling'er couldn't help but shiver, her mind filled with complaints.
Oh my god!!!
She couldn't bear it, this was unbearable!
She took deep breaths to calm herself, then turned around with difficulty, using Primordial Energy to support Xi Gate Phoenix's corpse, and headed up the mountain.
"Senior Sister?"
The mountain-guarding disciples were new.
But they all recognized Xiao Ling'er.
They quickly bowed and asked, puzzled, "Where did you find this corpse?"
Xiao Ling'er: "..."
Her lips twitched, "No, don't misunderstand. I don't have a habit of grave-robbing. This was sent by someone else."
The two disciples: "Ah?!"
They couldn't help but shiver.
Sent by someone else?!
This thing could be sent?!
It's even more bizarre, right?
Seeing their expressions, a mix of strangeness and horror, Xiao Ling'er supported her forehead with her hand and quickly walked away.
Explanation unclear!
The more she explained, the more confusing it became.
It would've been better to not say anything.
She found Lin Fan in the shortest time possible.
Knowing she was coming, he naturally cooperated and provided the time, but as usual, he still had to ask, after all, they had to go through the whole act.
Especially now that Lu Ming was at the center of attention, it was even more important to keep his identity as her true self a secret.
"Sent by Lu Ming?"
Upon learning the reason, Lin Fan's face was filled with shock: "This... sending a corpse?"
"Yes... West Gate Phoenix?"
"Yes, Master," Xiao Ling'er said, "Lu Ming said that his tattoo is strange, and it seems to hide a complete Phoenix Dragon Technique. If we can peel it off, the Phoenix Dragon Technique can be returned to its rightful owner, and Moonseizing Sect will owe Lu Ming a huge favor!"
"Is this really possible?"
Lin Fan was overjoyed: "If we can truly peel off the complete Phoenix Dragon Technique, then our Moonseizing Sect will owe Lu Ming a huge favor!"
"That's right..."
Xiao Ling'er secretly scoffed: The favor is indeed huge.
But this way of doing favors is really...
...
Xiao Ling'er left.
Lin Fan circled around the corpse of West Gate Phoenix, deep in thought: "I do have this intuition, and this tattoo is definitely not simple. But how can we peel off the complete Phoenix Dragon Technique? That's the problem."
Lin Fan's eyebrows furrowed.
After observing for a long time, he had no clue.
"Phoenix Dragon Technique..."
"That's right!"
Suddenly, Lin Fan's eyes lit up: "I remember that the Endless Emperor was born with the Phoenix Sky Map on his back, and when he was born, there was even a Phoenix Dragon phenomenon. Although there's a saying that it's a 'Dragon Phoenix Dragon Child', there's also a possibility that he has a connection with the Phoenix Dragon!"
"Since that's the case, let's have him try it."
Lin Fan immediately contacted Wang Teng.
Even though it was a late-night summons, Wang Teng felt that something good was about to happen, and without any delay, he hurried over, full of excitement.
"Greetings, Master."
"Huh?! What's this?!"
He was startled by the corpse of West Gate Phoenix, but soon realized: "Is this West Gate Phoenix's corpse? It's so well-preserved, but Master, why do you have this corpse?"
"Lu Ming sent it to Xiao Ling'er." Lin Fan casually mentioned.
Wang Teng: "???"
"Does he have feelings for Master Sister?"
"Huh?!"
Lin Fan was taken aback.
What nonsense!
"Don't talk nonsense. I want you to see the tattoo on this corpse and tell me if you have any ideas."
"If not, I'll have him skinned and then we'll talk."
"Let me take a look, please wait a moment."
Wang Teng quickly moved closer and carefully examined the corpse.
With just a glance, his expression changed: "Huh?"
Then, he took a few steps back, his face changing again and again.
Next, he approached the corpse, extended his hand, and carefully touched the tattoo on West Gate Phoenix's body. Then, his entire body trembled.
Boom!
"Roar!!!"
Wang Teng's clothes instantly exploded, and he, too, became bare-chested. On his back, the innate Phoenix Sky Map glowed, and then, the Phoenix Dragon tattoo on the corpse seemed to come alive, as if it had gained a life of its own!
The Phoenix Dragon tattoo roared, and as if in celebration, it jumped onto Wang Teng's body.
Then, it ran and wandered on his skin.
Finally, it 'settled' on the Phoenix Sky Map on his back, hiding itself.
If one looked closely, they would notice that the tattoo hadn't disappeared.
Instead, it had assumed the same posture as the Phoenix in the Phoenix Sky Map, so at a glance, they seemed to have merged into one, or perhaps hidden and disappeared.
At this moment, Wang Teng's eyes shone with blue light, and then, both his eyes turned blue. His hands became like feet, and he 'crawled' on all fours.
Lin Fan blinked, and for a moment, he saw a true Phoenix Dragon!
"Roar!"
Wang Teng opened his mouth, uncontrollably letting out a roar.
In an instant, the entire Moonseizing Sect shook.
Huo Kunlun and Lian Bo were surprised and quickly rushed over.
Xiao Ling'er also returned.
"Sect Master."
"Lin Fan."
"What happened?"
"That loud roar earlier was... Huh?!"
"Wang Teng?"
Everyone was shocked.
Wang Teng, at this moment, seemed to have undergone a transformation.
Huo Kunlun, being experienced and knowledgeable, quickly exclaimed: "Phoenix Sky Map?"
"This is bloodline atavism! His ancestors must have carried the Phoenix Dragon bloodline, and his bloodline has atavistic traits! Although he has a human body, his bloodline is close to that of a Phoenix Dragon!"
"If he cultivates the Phoenix Dragon Technique, he will truly become a human-shaped Phoenix Dragon!"
"That West Gate Phoenix was so arrogant with the Phoenix Dragon Technique, but if they were at the same cultivation level, Wang Teng, with the same technique, would easily surpass him!"
"Is this really possible?"
Lin Fan was astonished.
He thought it was just a phenomenon.
But he never expected it to be bloodline atavism??
...
People...
Even with Phoenix Dragon connections.
But on second thought, what's the issue? They can cultivate and transform, right? White Snake could even marry Xu Xian.
However, speaking of the Phoenix Dragon Technique, it seems like the peeling was successful?
"Wait!"
Just then, Lian Bo discovered something.
"This is...!!!"
