Entering Taoism from the womb

After the discussion, Jiang Pingan asked Lin Zihen with concern: "What changes have there been in the poison in your body?"

He has been practicing hard for the past three months and has never asked about Lin Zihen's situation.

"I can suppress it, and it hasn't increased." Lin Zihen replied, her beautiful eyes suddenly filled with affection.

Jiang Pingan avoided Lin Zihen's gaze: "That's good."

Then he stood up and said: "It's getting late, you should go back."

"Anyway, we'll leave together tomorrow." Lin Zihen shook her head and disagreed, "I'll be here tonight. Besides, if the patrol team suddenly comes to our door in the middle of the night, we can deal with it together."

Jiang Pingan had no choice but to say: "Okay."

On the way, he and Lin Zihen had been alone on the flying boat for more than three months, and it was nothing for Lin Zihen to stay in his cave overnight.

What's more, they had been "frank with each other" three times.

...

More than two hours after night fell, someone really came to the door.

"Daoyou, the human cultivator Ji Wudao wants to see you." A voice came in from outside, stealthily.

Jiang Pingan and Lin Zihen both became alert. Jiang Pingan looked through the glare mirror and saw a middle-aged human cultivator hanging in the air outside the mountain.

Jiang Pingan adjusted the glare mirror again to observe the surroundings of the mountain. There was no ambush.

Jiang Pingan and Lin Zihen looked at each other and Jiang Pingan said, "Let's meet."

So, the two walked out of the cave and looked at the human cultivator Ji Wudao outside through the defense formation.

"He is a saint." Lin Zihen said.

Jiang Pingan nodded, pinched the magic formula, and opened the defense formation: "Daoyou, please come in."

Ji Wudao immediately flew in and landed in front of Jiang Pingan and Lin Zihen.

He looked at Lin Zihen for a while, then his eyes returned to Jiang Pingan, bowed and smiled and asked, "May I know your name?"

"Jiang Pingan." Jiang Pingan bowed.

Ji Wudao turned his gaze to Lin Zihen, and smiled and said, "So, Fellow Daoist Lin is with Fellow Daoist Jiang."

"You know me?" Lin Zihen said vigilantly, revealing a hint of danger.

Ji Wudao waved his hand and said, "Don't get me wrong. I pay attention to my fellow tribesmen. Fellow Daoist Lin has been setting up a stall in Yulin City for three months, so I have heard about it."

In fact, he didn't realize that Lin Zihen was a saint. Lin Zihen was in the tenth level of the Xiantai realm, and his cultivation was much higher than his. Lin Zihen had been deliberately hiding his cultivation, so he couldn't see it.

Lin Zihen snorted arrogantly.

Jiang Pingan asked, "I wonder what you want to do with your late night visit, Fellow Daoist Ji?"

"It is indeed rude of Ji to come to visit me." Ji Wudao said as he took out two bottles of Nine-Turn Soul-Enriching Pills. "This is the Nine-Turn Soul-Enriching Pill. I am giving you a small token of my appreciation. Please accept it."

One Nine-Turn Soul-Enriching Pill is worth more than 300 top-grade Yuanshi, and two bottles of Nine-Turn Soul-Enriching Pill are worth more than 6,000 top-grade Yuanshi. It is not a generous gift.

Unfortunately, Jiang Pingan was unmoved and only said in a low voice, "Tell me your purpose."

"Ji wants to make friends with you." Ji Wudao smiled.

Jiang Pingan: "The reason."

"We are both human beings." Ji Wudao replied, "Since we have met in the Tianxian Continent, we should get to know each other."

Jiang Pingan disagreed. There are many treacherous people in the Great Wilderness.

He stared at Ji Wudao and asked, "What did you see?"

Ji Wudao was slightly startled, then smiled and said, "I didn't see anything. I just thought that Brother Jiang was a fellow traveler, so I took the liberty to come and meet him."

"This is my little gift." Ji Wudao handed two more bottles of Nine-Turn Soul-Enriching Pills to Jiang Ping'an.

Jiang Ping'an heard that Ji Wudao might have seen him kill the patrol team.

"Thank you, but I won't accept the reward without merit." He said in a gentle tone.

At the end, he made a gesture of invitation: "Brother Ji, please come here for tea."

Ji Wudao took back the Nine-Turn Soul-Enriching Pills, smiled and bowed, saying, "Thank you for the hospitality, Brother Jiang."

Jiang Ping'an did not invite Ji Wudao into the cave, but only entertained Ji Wudao at the stone table and stone bench next to the cave door. Ji Wudao was not displeased at all.

After brewing the tea, Jiang Pingan said to Ji Wudao: "I can't drink tea, Brother Lin will accompany you."

Lin Zihen raised the teacup and said to Ji Wudao: "Brother Ji, please."

"Brother Lin, please." Ji Wudao raised the cup without hesitation, then drank the tea and praised, "Good tea."

Putting down the teacup, Ji Wudao opened the topic and said sincerely: "Ji has been in the Tianxian Continent for decades, and has made many friends. I am well-informed and have some reliable friends. Brother Jiang and Brother Lin can find me if you have any difficulties in the future. Ji will definitely help you."

"Ji has several places to stay. The closest place to you is the Unicorn Peak, 30 miles south of Yulin City."

...

After chatting for about a cup of tea, Ji Wudao basically talked. Jiang Pingan and Lin Zihen spoke less out of caution.

Finally, Ji Wudao stood up and bowed, saying, "Thank you for the hospitality, Daoyou Jiang and Daoyou Lin. As time goes by, we will definitely become good friends in the future."

"I'll leave today."

"Goodbye." Jiang Ping'an and Lin Zihen bowed.

Ji Wudao turned and flew out of Songmang Ridge, then flew away quietly.

Back in the cave, Jiang Ping'an said to Lin Zihen, "Ji Wudao may really want to make friends."

"He really has no ill intentions." Lin Zihen said, "However, he is being so attentive and sneaky for no reason, so he must have a deeper purpose."

"He should know that I killed the patrol team." Jiang Pingan said again, "Maybe this is his handle to hold me in the future, or maybe this is the reason why he took the initiative to come to me and make friends."

Lin Zihen advised: "Don't pay attention to him. Didn't you say that you would stay in Tianxian City for a year and then leave? When the time comes, we will leave."

Jiang Pingan smiled and said: "Don't worry, I know my limits."

...

The next morning, Jiang Pingan and Lin Zihen drove away in the top-grade flying boat.

Two days later, they sneaked out of Tianxian Continent from the unguarded city wall, and then flew towards a Yuanshi vein of the Tianren Clan that produced the top-grade Yuanshi of the fire system.

Half a month later, Jiang Pingan and Lin Zihen flew more than 200,000 miles and arrived at a Yuanshi vein occupied by the Tianren Clan.

This Yuanshi vein is located deep in a mountain range that stretches for more than a thousand miles. This mountain range is called Huolian Mountain.

Huolian Mountain, a mountain kissed by the soul of flames, has most of its peaks covered in red clothes, as if it is the most passionate love poem of nature, engraved between heaven and earth. On many peaks, high-temperature magma is like an unruly fire dragon, rushing freely, gushing out from the cracks in the rocks, slowly flowing down, weaving a piece of flowing red silk.

Over time, these hot lava rivers converged in low-lying areas, forming several dazzling lava lakes.

"The Celestial Race has been mining this Yuanshi vein for more than 500 years, and it is rumored that they are ready to sell it." Lin Zihen introduced, "So, the Celestial Race will not have too many holy realms arranged in this Yuanshi vein, and we should be able to capture it."
