God rewards those who work hard: Awakening Daily Practice Settlement

It's called retreat.

But in fact, Pei Daoye left quietly after he went down the mountain.

There is nothing suspicious about this.

For everyone in Xuanshanmen, there are indeed some disciples and even elders who do not like to practice in the mountain gate, so going outside the mountain gate for seclusion is not a shocking thing.

But Pei Daoye chose to hide.

It is to go out and look for magic weapons.

According to the weapon spirit in the Burial Immortal Realm, the owner of the magic weapon from more than a thousand years ago was killed by the Ancestor Hunyuan. Afterwards, the magic weapon was casually thrown into a certain place by the Ancestor Hunyuan, saying that it was too demonic and was left for future generations to deal with.

I'm afraid even Patriarch Hunyuan himself didn't expect that after so many years, no one has obtained the magic weapon.

Pei Daoye also asked the weapon spirit: "Do Li Siyi and the others know about the magic weapon?"

"No. They didn't ask me, so why should I tell them?"

Qi Ling is confident and justified.

Pei Daoye had nothing to say.

Of course, the most important reason why it did not tell this matter was because Li Siyi did not have the Hunyuan Military Talisman in his hand.

If the spirit of the weapon were to recognize a master, it would only recognize Pei Daoye as its master.

Naturally, I won’t tell you too much.

Leave Tianxiang City.

Pei Daoye secretly used the intelligence information from the Seventeenth Palace to inquire about the whereabouts of Demon Sword Twelve.

When searching using the keyword "Demon Sword Twelve", there was no relevant information in the database of the Seventeenth Palace.

"Either it was too long ago and the Seventeenth Palace didn't know about it...or the information was too confidential and even Leng Huang didn't know about it."

Pei Daoye also retrieved relevant information about the area where the Demon Sword Twelve was located - Quzhou.

This time, we actually gained a lot of intelligence.

Apart from some secret intelligence from underworld figures, there were twelve pieces of recent intelligence about Quzhou, one of which attracted Pei Daoye's attention.

[Top secret: Quzhou, the ground collapsed on the 12th of this month, killing and injuring over a thousand people...]

After Pei Daoye compared the geographical location, his heart sank.

The location of the sinkhole happened to be near where the Demon Sword Twelve was suppressed, so he had to speed up.

Today is the fourteenth.

Two days have passed now. I hope the magical weapon has not been discovered yet.

"Buzz."

The sound transmission vibrates.

There was news from Leng Huang.

[Jian Jiu, there is a mission...]

【No time. 】

【…】

Leng Huang had a face full of question marks.

You turned against me after paying this month's offering?
Take a deep breath.

The sound transmission note in her hand vibrated, and then she heard Pei Daoye say, "I have something to do now, I will be back tomorrow if possible."

Leng Huang frowned, not knowing what Pei Daoye was doing, so she said after some discussion: [There is news from Your Majesty... She sent me a message.]

As soon as he finished speaking, Pei Daoye responded immediately: [Really? That’s great.]

Why is this so weird?

Leng Huang was stunned.

Pei Daoye's move to leave stopped where he was.

Is the rich lady Shangguan still alive?

Is she Xiaoqiang?
Can't you die?
But there is no news about her from Xuanshanmen yet.

So...

This woman only contacted Leng Huang.

Right.

She has disappeared for so long, the Wanxiang Palace must have noticed something. If she doesn't show up, not to mention Leng Huang, the entire Seventeenth Palace will fall apart and fall into the hands of others.

and so……

Is she back now?
While Pei Daoye was figuring out how to ask, Leng Huang's tone was a little hesitant: [I don't know where Your Excellency is now. She has not only contacted me, but she should have contacted all the high-level officials in the Wanxiang Palace. Your Excellency said that her cultivation has broken through and she has reached the fifth level of the Golden Core...]

The fifth level of golden elixir!!!
Pei Daoye was struck by lightning on the spot.

How did this woman cultivate so fast?

Then I saw that I had only reached the eighth level of foundation building... I still couldn't handle it.

[That's great. Is she out now? Where is she?]

Pei Daoye concealed his emotions and asked in a low voice.

[Your Majesty told me secretly that she cannot come back yet...]

Still can't come back? That's fine.

[That's such a pity.] Pei Daoye sighed: [Did she say anything?]

and many more.

Why did this woman contact so many people but not me?
Just then Leng Huang spoke again: [The Lord asked about you, he thought you were dead...]

...I thank you.

Pei Daoye's face darkened.

Leng Huang continued: [Your Majesty said that she has encountered a great opportunity and cannot come back for the time being. She informed several high-ranking officials of the Wanxiang Palace and only said that she had made a breakthrough and was trying to reach the Nascent Soul stage. She did not give any specific instructions, but just said... Now is a time of trouble, so we must act carefully, and also be careful of the Immortal Alliance.]

Troubled times...

Pei Daoye was too tired to complain.

It has been a turbulent time for so many years, and it is still a turbulent time.

[Okay, I get it. Now that she has shown up, I think the pressure on our Seventeenth Palace will be much less now. As for being careful of the Immortal Alliance, did she know something? ]

Pei Daoye asked.

Leng Huang paused and said, "That's why I want you to go to Nanhua Country... Your Majesty said she left something there. It's too big for me to go there, and now you're the only person I can trust."

Pei Daoye pondered and said: [Tell me the location, I will rush there as soon as possible. ]

What a coincidence.

It is also the South China Kingdom.

After getting the coordinates from Leng Huang, he did not waste any more time and quickly headed towards the Kingdom of Nanhua.

Now his cultivation has greatly improved.

When controlling the spirit boat, the speed is even faster.

The sky was just like a streak of light passing by and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Half a day.

Across two countries.

Finally, before dark, Pei Daoye arrived at the border of South China. To his surprise,

He had been to this country half a year ago, but it was not like it is now... the city was completely destroyed and covered with dead grass.

"What happened here?"

"Is it because of the Sky Demon?"

He suddenly remembered that Hai Wuyan had accepted the mission of exorcising monsters... but it was in Yue State.

It is not surprising that this place is so close to the State of Yue.

I just didn't expect that in just half a year, South China has reached this point...

The disaster caused by the heavenly demon is really enough to make people hate it.

Pei Daoye's figure quickly passed across the sky.

It was not until more than 30 kilometers away that people began to be seen.

Before Pei Daoye could fly into the city, a light formation suddenly appeared in front of him, blocking his way.

Pei Daoye frowned immediately.

It almost came to a head.

At this moment, a voice suddenly came from below, and then an old man in purple flew into the air and saluted hurriedly: "Daoyou, don't worry. This place is to protect the sky demon, so we have activated the formation. Please put away your magical powers."

Pei Daoye stared at him, and the talisman light condensed in front of him disappeared in an instant.

He changed his appearance before coming here, and he also practiced the Qi Technique, so it was easy for him to disguise his aura.

"Are there many celestial demons here?"

Pei Daoye asked.

When the old man heard what he said, he began to sigh: "Speaking of which, it is the royal family of Yue who should be blamed for driving the celestial demon to our Nanhua country... Now the three southern cities have been destroyed. If it were not for the immortals, our city would have ceased to exist long ago."

The Yue Royal Family...

Pei Daoye knew this group of people, and they had done a lot of weird things... In the past year, they were the major customers of Wanxiang Palace.

Even the people within Wanxiang Palace who evaluate him are... stupid and rich.

But since the invasion of the Heavenly Demon, these guys have become stingy. "Daoyou, please enter the city."

The old man made way and stretched out his hand to invite him.

Pei Daoye did not leave immediately, but asked: "I wanted to go to Liangzhou, but now it seems... Is every city so complicated?"

Liangzhou is right next to Quzhou.

When traveling around the world, how can you easily expose your whereabouts?

Otherwise, someone with ulterior motives will always be able to infer something afterwards.

"Don't worry, fellow Daoist. The inner city is not that complicated. It's just that nowadays... it's a time of trouble, people are restless, and it's inevitable that some cultivators will have hot tempers. Fellow Daoist, please be careful."

Hearing the words "troubled times" again, Pei Daoye's mouth twitched slightly.

He clasped his fists and said, "Thanks for the reminder."

After watching Pei Daoye leave, the old man flew down into the city.

A teenage girl asked crisply, "Grandpa, who is it?"

"A fellow Taoist passing by." The old man recalled Pei Daoye's face, but suddenly he felt a little confused, and his face changed slightly.

"He is actually a master..."

Suddenly I broke into a cold sweat.

Fortunately... I didn't cheat on anything.

……

After Pei Daoye quickly passed by this place, he realized that no one was following him, and he felt a little relieved.

Sure enough, the old man did not deceive himself.

After entering the heart of the South China Kingdom, it is almost the same as a closed country, and there is no need to alarm the protective formation.

After changing his appearance again, he entered Quzhou.

After the land subsidence incident two days ago, most of the residents in this area have moved away, but IOUs can still be seen hanging on the gates of every household.

The wind blows.

Yellow paper that had not yet burned out was scattered all over the street.

Pei Daoye was walking alone, and there was no one around him...

First there was the demon from heaven, then there was the natural disaster… A world like this requires even more courage to survive.

"gentlemen."

The ghost baby finally couldn't help but speak.

After being trapped in Xuanshan Gate for so long, I am finally released.

It possessed Chen Laojiang's body again, and couldn't help but start jumping around.

suddenly……

It glanced away.

Surprise was revealed in his cold eyes at this moment, and he turned around and said to Pei Daoye: "Sir, there are still people alive there."

Pei Daoye had noticed that there was a five-year-old child lying in the corner. The charcoal black on his face could not hide his paleness, and cracks appeared at the corners of his mouth due to dryness.

With a flick of a finger.

A stream of spiritual energy flowed into the little girl's body, and mist filled the air, replenishing the vitality in her body. Her originally blurred vision gradually became clear.

She whimpered.

"Daddy...Mom..."

However, the only smell in the cold street was the peculiar smell of fire, but she had long been accustomed to it. She looked around in a daze, then struggled to get up.

……

"Sir, that little girl is following us now... or should I scare her away?"

The ghost baby looked back from time to time.

The little girl walked barefoot on the ground, following step by step with difficulty.

Pei Daoye waved his hand: "Go find the landmark and tell me when you find it."

"Yes, sir." Just as the ghost baby was about to leave, he suddenly couldn't help but ask, "Sir, are you going to scare her yourself?"

It always feels that the gentleman must want to play such a fun thing secretly.

Unexpectedly, Pei Daoye waved his sleeve and sent him flying.

"Childish brat."

Look back.

Pei Daoye came to the little girl, squatted down, looked at the two little feet covered with dust, and sighed softly: "Why do you want to follow me?"

The little girl actually knelt down and said, "I heard my father tell me stories about the immortal master. You must be the immortal master... I don't know where to go. My home is gone... Please take me in, immortal master."

The little girl had a crisp voice and although she looked surprisingly young, she understood a lot of things.

now……

She was a little uneasy and frightened.

I am afraid of being abandoned again in this chaotic world.

Pei Daoye stretched out his two hands: "One of my hands is money, and the other hand is something for cultivation. You choose one. If you choose money, I will let you have food and clothing in the secular world without worries. If you choose cultivation... I will only take care of your entry, and as for the future... you can go it yourself."

"Immortal Master..."

The little girl wanted to say something.

But Pei Daoye signaled her, smiled gently and said: "Don't worry, this is your chance, the selection."

The little girl stared at the bags Pei Daoye was holding in his left and right hands.

She stared into Pei Daoye's eyes again and then made her choice.

Pei Daoye put away the bag in his left hand, then opened the bag in his right hand, which contained the elixir...

The little girl looked at him in a daze, not knowing what to do.

"Forget it, maybe this is fate."

Pei Daoye put the elixir into the storage bag. It was just a blood and qi pill, so it was useless to him. However, even so, the little guy's body was not strong enough to take such an elixir.

"Just follow me. I'll arrange a place for you to stay. I'll come find you when I'm done with my business. Okay?"

Pei Daoye met those big, bright black eyes, nodded vigorously, and stretched out his finger: "Let's pinky promise."

Pei Daoye paused.

Then he extended his hand.

"Hang yourself with a hook and don't change for a hundred years!"

After leaving the inn.

The ghost baby suddenly whispered, "Sir, she is spying on us from behind the window... snap!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Pei Daoye hit him on the head.

"That's not called spying, that's called watching!"

"It's all the same."

The ghost baby didn't feel any pain. It tilted its head, not understanding the difference between spying and watching.

But let’s talk business.

He took Pei Daoye and rushed towards the destination quickly.

"Several waves of forces have appeared in that place now, and they seem to be chasing a woman...'Hehehe, my lady, just do as I say!'"

The ghost baby had just finished imitating the group's words when he was beaten up again by Pei Daoye.

"Don't say these things on the street anymore!"

Pei Daoye left in a hurry.

Several nuns nearby spat lightly on the ground.

The ghost baby didn't understand what was going on, and suddenly made a face at the female monk, then ran away, which aroused the anger of everyone.

"You are a scoundrel, seeking death!"

A female monk rushed over.

The ghost baby was startled.

Why wouldn’t the spirits of the weapons get angry, but they would?

"Wow, someone is going to kill someone! Sir, help me."

"..."

Pei Daoye looked helpless and could only stimulate his breath slightly.

The female monk who was coming with a sword became obedient the moment she sensed the aura: "Senior..."

"I apologize for his rudeness. Please show some mercy."

Hearing this, the few people felt relieved and immediately clasped their fists in a serious manner: "Senior, your words are too polite. Farewell."

After the female monk left, Pei Daoye glared at the ghost baby fiercely: "If you cause me trouble again, go back and reflect on your mistakes."

"Sir, I know I was wrong."

The ghost baby immediately pinched the corner of Pei Daoye's clothes pitifully, but Pei Daoye quickly broke free: "Don't mess around when it comes to important matters."

"Yes, yes, I understand, little one."

The ghost baby swore again and again. (End of this chapter)
