Jiuli in April is the most comfortable place in the fairy world.
The mist and rain can't hide the beauty of the city, with red apricots in bud and orchids in bloom. The sun is not arrogant and the birds are not restless. The spring tranquility is mixed with a certain tenderness.
The pavilion by the Xizi River was clean, and a fine drizzle fell on the green trees beside the pavilion. It wetted the leaves and slid down along the veins, gathering into a crystal droplet and hanging in the hair, moving with the wind.
It's just a drop of water, but it reflects the Jiuli Flower Terrace.
Sitting in the pavilion was a woman in palace attire. Although her appearance was not peerless, her facial features were exquisite and her temperament was luxurious. It was not enough to be seen in such a beautiful scenery on such a good day, but she had worries hanging between her eyebrows.
"Miss, those collectors are here again."
"How much do you want this time?"
Seeing the old woman behind him hesitating and sighing, Yun Lan knew that these people were probably getting worse every time.
"Tell me, you won't scare me."
"Three thousand fairy crystals, half more than last year!"
Fairy crystals contain very pure fairy spiritual energy, which is indispensable for people in the fairy world to practice. Therefore, they have become the universal currency of the fairy world. Three thousand fairy crystals are enough for dozens of immortals to practice for a while.
"We say in Jiuli that humans and immortals live together, but after all, this is a ruined fairyland. Where can there be immortals? Even the slightly stronger immortal slaves have gone, and you can't even scrape together so many!" The old woman sighed.
stop.
"They don't want the Immortal Crystal, they want to force us to die." Yun Lan'e frowned slightly.
Jiuli originally had a fairy crystal mineral vein, and during its peak period, 30% of the immortals in the lower reaches of the world lived here. However, after thousands of years of mining, the mineral vein has been hollowed out, and now there is not even three thousand, not to mention three hundred.
"You mean..."
"I'm afraid someone is interested in Jiuli and wants to take it away from me."
"The Zhang family is a high-class immortal family and is also your husband's family. Why don't you go and ask for help?" Luo Po asked tentatively.
"Husband's family? Don't be ridiculous, Luo Po. I'm just a bargaining chip for their deal, and I can't become an immortal without immortal seed. So I was driven to this shabby little fairyland. No one cares about our life or death.
But now that I have come to Jiuli, I have to rely on myself for everything. Life is not something you ask for, it is earned." Yun Lan saw it very clearly.
Luo Po looked at Yun Lan in disbelief. In the past, she always looked like a crying little girl when she was slightly frustrated. How could she be so courageous today?
"Why are they so aggressive, not even giving orphans and widows a chance to survive? What should we do now?" Luo Po was also at a loss.
"This is the only place where I can settle down and live my life. If there were no Jiuli, I would have no choice but to wander in this fairy world.
Go and ask Immortal Fang to come, he is the only Immortal in Jiuli, and now we can only rely on him."
After Luo Po left, Yun Lan lay down on the table, dejected and completely without the energy he had just had.
While complaining, he put his delicate hands into fists and punched the table with small fists, trying to vent his anger on the table.
"Why is my life so miserable..."
In the past, Yun Lan was born in a fairy family and lived in a boudoir. If she encountered such troubles, she would have no choice but to cry secretly. But what is different today is because her body has been replaced by another soul that has just traveled through time.
Think about it, it took me 534 years to finally graduate, and then I got a solid job in a scientific research institute, from researcher to director, to director and minister, and even higher. My future is bright!
In the village, Goudan, the son of Erguou's family next door, got married after completing compulsory education in 1963. I heard that he even gave birth to two puppies.
I thought I was a winner in life, but I didn’t know that after years of hard work, I traveled through time by myself overnight? And I also have a weak and sick baby?
Now that I think about it, I already want to die. What kind of plot is this?
An auspicious cloud floated from the west. Before anyone arrived, a crane was heard. A green-robed immortal sat on a crane and followed the auspicious cloud. This was the last immortal in Jiuli, Fang Jing.
Fang Jing is a tourist who passed by Jiuli and stayed here for a short time.
Immortals seek immortality, eat wind, drink dew, travel around, practice in places with abundant immortal energy or abundant immortal crystals, and then have the power to change the world at the palm of their hands.
Seeing Fang Jing coming on a crane, Yun Lan hurriedly stood up to greet him. No matter how reluctant she was, she had to find a way to survive now.
"This junior has met Immortal Fang."
Yunlan is the master of Jiuli. Although he is not an immortal, he has a very high status. At this moment, he keeps his attitude very low when asking for help from others.
"Miss Yun, you're welcome." Fang Jing walked into the pavilion with a smile, "But I don't know why Miss Yun called me here."
"Jiuli is no longer as prosperous as it used to be. Now it can only rely on Wangxianjing. But today, people from Wangxianjing came to collect three thousand immortal crystals." Yun Lan said pitifully.
"Jiuli is located in the mountains. There are many immortal birds and big monsters in Beishan. In previous years, when the mineral veins were rich, there were many Jiuli immortals. These big monsters did not dare to act recklessly. But the times are difficult. If Wangxianjing does not protect Jiuli, any big monster that pops up will be killed.
Jiuli will be destroyed, so Miss Yun should stand firm and hand it over." Fang Jing advised.
"Even if we in Jiuli take out all the fairy crystals, we can't afford so much. How can we, orphans and widowed mothers, survive?" Yun Lan said with tears streaming down her face, her words sad.
"I also know Miss Yun's situation. It's not easy. I wonder what Miss Yun wants me to do?" Fang Jing asked.
"I would like to ask Immortal Fang to protect Jiuli."
People who cultivate immortality are divided into very strict levels according to their strength of cultivation.
Immortal disciple, immortal practice, and immortal leader. These three realms are the beginning of immortal cultivation. Living together with ordinary mortals is called mixed immortal.
Guixian, Xuanxian, Yuanxian, these three realms are generally practiced within the immortal family or in the immortal sect, and are called court immortals.
Immortals who reach these three realms, including Wuxian, Yuxian, and Yunxian, need to reach the heavens and realize the Tao in order to make progress. They usually choose to travel to the immortal world in order to achieve complete enlightenment, which are called the three realms of enlightenment.
As for Fang Jing, he has the cultivation level of returning to immortality. However, he has not joined the immortal sect and does not have the support of an immortal family with deep roots. He can only travel early and look for opportunities in various places in the immortal world.
Guixian's cultivation is somewhat famous in Wangxian Capital, so if Fang Jing can help, it will undoubtedly be a huge backer for Jiuli.
"It's not that asylum is impossible, but should Miss Yun show some kind of expression?"
Fang Jing had a slight smile on his face, and then put a hand on Yun Lan's shoulder. Of course, Yun Lan could see the meaning in his eyes and subconsciously avoided it.
"Please respect yourself, Immortal Fang." Yun Lan said with some disgust.
"You were kicked out of the house by your husband's family, the Zhang family, and sent here by your mother's family, the Yun family, in a dilapidated fairyland. No one will care about your life or death.
There are not many immortals in this immortal world who are as kind as me and are willing to take you in. If you follow me, you can live a stable life in the future. If you don't, I'm afraid all your bones will be swallowed up soon." Fang Jing's smile was a little gloomy.
"Since Immortal Fang is unwilling to help, Yun Lan will not force it."
"You have to think carefully, even if you survive this disaster, there will be another time, and the next time, there will always be a time when you can't hold on."
"I don't care, Immortal, please leave. You are not welcome in Jiuli." Yunlan issued an eviction order.
"Leave, of course I will leave. Jiuli is only a few hundred miles away from Wangxianjing. I will wait for you in Wangjing. When you are driven out of Jiuli, you will still fall into my hands at that time.
You know what means I will use to ravage you."
Fang Jing's smile did not hide the obscenity at all, and then left in a swagger, Chenghe disappeared into the clouds.
