Chapter 21 Wild Geese Soar Through the Clouds, Obtaining 4 Treasures

Wang Daoling reverted to his Taoist appearance and continued to sell his elixirs.

Unfortunately, since the plague, no one has paid him any attention anymore.

Looking at the people coming and going, Wang Daoling sighed inwardly, feeling that he had been having a run of bad luck ever since he entered the city.

Not only was his perfect plan thwarted, but he also got a severe beating from Bai Suzhen.

After finally recovering from her injuries, she encountered Fahai again.

He managed to escape by cutting off his own tail, but his cultivation level dropped significantly.

"Damn it, is Hangzhou cursed against me? Why is it like this... um?"

As Wang Daoling was muttering to himself, he suddenly noticed that more than a dozen people were lying haphazardly in the street in front of him.

These people's bodies were tense, clearly suffering great pain, and their life force was rapidly fading.

It was Liang Lian and his servant.

Wang Daoling looked at the empty street and his eyes lit up.

"Since you're all going to die anyway, you might as well let me have my way."

Wang Daoling's hand transformed into a poisonous thorn, which suddenly plunged into Liang Lian's nape, absorbing Liang Lian's life force and flesh.

A short while later, Liang Lian became a dried-up corpse.

Wang Daoling repeated the process, draining all the servants in the area dry, and finally felt refreshed.

He strolled away leisurely.

Xu Xian entered Suzhou City and headed straight for Gusu Terrace in the city.

Legend has it that Gusu Terrace was built by a master archer named Geng Ying, and it contains the true essence of the art of archery.

Ordinary people in Suzhou scoffed at this, but cultivators were quite enthusiastic about such an opportunity.

Unfortunately, despite their numerous attempts, they were unable to discern anything special about Gusu Terrace.

They simply dismissed it as a rumor.

Xu Xian was familiar with the plot, so he naturally didn't need to worry about this issue.

He arrived at Gusu Terrace, tricked a snotty-nosed little child with a string of candied hawthorns, gave the child a toy bow, and pointed to a big tree not far away.

"When the birds start flying around in that tree, draw your bow and shoot an arrow."

The little child, eating candied hawthorns and with a runny nose, cried out, "No arrows, no arrows!"

"You don't actually need to shoot an arrow. Just draw the bow and then release it. After you're done, I'll give you the bow too."

The little child nodded immediately, indicating that he understood.

Xu Xian then arrived at Gusu Terrace, leaped up, and quickly climbed to the top.

The snotty-nosed child was thrilled by this skill, shouting, "A god! A god!"

Xu Xian, looking down from his superior position, felt slightly embarrassed.

The idiom "a bird startled by the twang of a bow" contains two minor supernatural abilities: the bow and the flight.

If you want to "bow", you have to learn to be stronger.

If you want to "fly," you have to learn from the wild goose.

Because this story can only be activated once, players are faced with a choice between two options.

Furthermore, to activate the frightened bird, another person is needed to cooperate.

Xu Xian looked at the snotty-nosed child who was already prepared below and finally made up his mind.

He picked up a rock and hurled it hard at the big tree opposite him.

boom!

A loud noise rang out, startling the birds, which took flight.

The snotty-nosed child remembered Xu Xian's words, and immediately pulled up the toy bow without nocking an arrow, then let go.

At the same time, Xu Xian jumped down from the Gusu Terrace, waving his arms and imitating the flight of wild geese.

Boom!

A soft sound came, and Xu Xian suddenly felt a sharp pain in his chest, his arms became stiff, and then he fell straight down.

Great, activated on the first try!

The snotty-nosed child was terrified when he saw Xu Xian fall down.

Just as he was about to cry out, he suddenly felt a blur before his eyes, and Xu Xian's figure vanished.

Meanwhile, in the vast sky...

Xu Xian found himself transformed into a wild goose with a severe chest wound, plummeting straight down.

He knew that this was a bird startled by the mere twang of a bow.

As long as he can take to the air, he can gain the supernatural power of flight.

Thinking of this, Xu Xian disregarded the pain in his chest and immediately flapped his wings, but still couldn't get the hang of it.

His body continued to fall straight down.

"The flight method of the frightened bird is not sophisticated; it only requires the help of the wind..."

He made a difficult turn in the air, stretched out his wings to feel the wind direction, and then adjusted little by little.

Just as he was about to hit the ground, Xu Xian finally finished adjusting.

His body transformed into a perfect arc, soaring into the sky!

[Congratulations to player Xu Xian for completing "The Frightened Bird" and gaining the supernatural power "Wild Goose Treading the Clouds" (Green)]

[Wild Goose Treading the Clouds]: Can ride the wind and tread the clouds, with a moderate speed.

In a daze, Xu Xian reappeared on the Gusu Terrace.

Two or three days had passed, the snotty-nosed child was long gone, and there were hardly any passersby around.

Xu Xian concealed his form and directly used the Wild Goose Stepping on the Clouds technique.

His body became light and he swayed with the wind.

Xu Xian tried to fly upwards and arrived above a cloud.

He stood amidst the clouds, looking down at the earth, feeling refreshed and invigorated.

"Although the speed is not fast, it is still far beyond the speed of ordinary people, which is enough."

Xu Xian maintained his stealthy flight and wandered around Suzhou for a while before quickly finding the location of the Liang Prince's Mansion.

Upon entering the palace, we found the treasure pavilion.

The treasure pavilion is guarded by ordinary soldiers, and there is also a large brass lock.

Xu Xian chanted a spell in the shadows, using an extremely weak, piercing incantation to make the soldiers lose their minds, and then looked towards the gate.

"It's a pity I don't know how to walk through walls. I'll go visit the Taoist priest in Laoshan in a few days."

Xu Xian looked at the large lock, hesitated for a moment, and then directly lifted his foot.

boom!

He kicked open the gate, immediately attracting the attention of the Prince's soldiers.

Xu Xian didn't care at all. Following the location in his memory, he found the four treasures, stuffed them all into the rat demon's pouch, and flew away.

[Congratulations to player Xu Xian for acquiring the following items: [Replica of the Eight Trigrams Furnace of Time] (Blue), [Replica of the Heavenly Music Diagram] (Green), [Replica of the Jade Bottle] (Green), and [Replica of the Fiery Divine Pearl] (Green)]

Only then did the soldiers from the Prince's Palace arrive at the treasure pavilion.

Seeing the guards collapse and the main gate wide open, they knew the treasure had been stolen and immediately reported it.

The Prince's mansion was immediately thrown into chaos!

Upon receiving the order from the King of Liang, the steward immediately dispatched his servants in two groups to seek assistance from the government offices and temples/Taoist monasteries.

Xu Xian rode the wind, enjoying the wonderful feeling.

His current level of magical power is not enough to maintain flight for an extended period, but that does not affect his mood.

"Finally transcending ordinary mortals, this feeling is truly exhilarating."

"Especially, I obtained four treasures: one blue and three green!"

Although all four treasures are replicas, they possess extremely strange abilities.

The Juntian Music Diagram can produce mysterious music, plunging living beings into an illusion.

The Time-Based Eight Trigrams Furnace can control the flow of time within the furnace, while simultaneously promoting the fusion of precious materials within the furnace, significantly shortening the alchemy time.

The jade bottle can bring dead wood back to life.

The Fiery Divine Pearl can drive extremely hot heavenly fire.

These four treasures are perfect for use on Calabash Mountain!

Xu Xian flew to the outskirts of Suzhou, found the small boat he had rented, and poked the water with a bamboo pole.

A moment later, an old turtle's head emerged from the water: "Immortal, you were looking for me?"

"I'm going back to Hangzhou... You've already absorbed a demon core?!"

Upon closer inspection, Xu Xian discovered some strange patterns on the old turtle's shell.

These patterns clearly bear the aura of the leader of the toads of Hulu Mountain.

This old turtle is quite talented.

The old turtle chuckled and said, "It's all thanks to the blessing from the immortal... Immortal, I... I'm tough and not very tasty."

The old turtle thought it was being praised, but it never expected that the immortal's eyes would turn playful at this moment.

It looked as if they were looking at a delicious meal.

This startled the old turtle so much that it almost ran away as fast as it could.

Xu Xian certainly didn't want to eat the turtle; he was preparing for the "Journey to the West: Rescuing the Torture" version.

He wanted to interfere with Journey to the West and become the mastermind in the mythological story, so naturally he needed a group of demons and monsters.

At this time, it was still a hundred years before the Monkey King was born, and about twelve hundred years before the true beginning of Journey to the West.

This old turtle is exceptionally talented. Although he may not become a pillar of the great calamity, he is certainly capable of replacing the likes of General Yin and Lord Xiongshan.

Before the Monkey King emerges from the mountain, he must show the Heavenly Court and the Buddhist sect his power.

Thinking of this, he took out another demon core: "Eat it, then take me back to Hangzhou."

The old turtle's eyes shone brightly: "I am willing to serve the immortal!"

Xu Xian's small boat headed towards Hangzhou City, and arrived outside the city in half a day.

The old turtle bid farewell to Xu Xian and sank into the water.

Xu Xian then rowed the boat alone into Hangzhou.

Xiaoqing was waiting by the riverbank.

Seeing Xu Xian enter the city, Xiaoqing nimbly jumped onto the small boat, looking him up and down: "What are you going to Suzhou for?"

Ever since Xu Xian took the Lingzhi herb, Xiaoqing felt that he was acting strangely, as if he was hiding something from her and her sister.

Xu Xian, without blushing or panting, said, "Fetch the medicine!"

"Where's the medicine? Let me see..."

Before Xiaoqing could finish speaking, she suddenly felt as if she were being pricked by thorns.

She turned around in confusion and saw an old monk staring intently at her.

Fahai!
