131: Chapter 131 He's really appeased.

The fusang divine wood plus chi yang copper mother, combined with other findable Second Level spiritual materials, are enough to refine one of the Lifebound Spiritual Artifacts.

The divine wood two principles sword!

Just like the Morning Sun Evening Shade Formation from that day, there are two divine wood two principles swords.

Rising in the east and setting in the west, repeating in a cycle.

Rising, it can destroy everything in its path; setting, it nourishes things silently.

In short, it can attack or defend, and it can be placed in the Dantian to be continuously nurtured with True Solar Fire.

Upon reaching the Golden Core Stage, after being tempered by Core Fire, it will directly become a Lifebound Treasure.

He secretly resolved: "I must get the chi yang copper mother!"

He took out the map of the area around the Immortal City from his Storage Pouch.

He brought the candlelight over and examined it closely.

He soon felt relieved; thirty miles south of the Immortal City was not a pleasant place, but a treacherous swamp.

The mangroves inside were a tangled mess, and rumors said there were many Second Level poisonous Yao Beasts, so even Foundation Establishment Cultivators were unwilling to set foot there.

But for Xu Changsheng, this was simply the icing on the cake.

...

Seven days later.

Tasty Food Workshop in the East Market.

Xie Wantang's willow-like brows furrowed: "I'm leaving soon, where else are you taking me?"

Xu Changsheng pointed at the dazzling array of stalls on both sides:

"Tanger, is there anything you want to eat? This is Tasty Food Workshop, there are spiritual foods of the Second Level and above, and their effects are no worse than qingyuan pills."

The latter seemed to still be angry about him not following her back to Yellow Ox Immortal City.

Not only had she completely put a stop to the previously easy intimate encounters, but she wouldn't even let him hold her hand outside.

Xie Wantang stood dazed on the street, watching Foundation Establishment Cultivators coming and going just like Mortals.

On the left, someone was hawking Blazing Flame Frog legs; on the right, someone was shouting about Iced Spiritual Melons; nearby, a shop sold Honey-glazed Roasted Yao Beast Meat, the oil sizzling as it dripped onto the charcoal.

Somewhat surprised, she lightly covered her red lips: "I never knew Yellow Ox Immortal City had such a secular place; it's the first time I've seen it."

"I only found out about this place by chance too."

Yellow Ox started his Cultivate journey from a Mortal, running a snack business in the Mortal world, and he never forgot it even after he attained the Dao.

He founded the Tasty Food Workshop.

Unlike the formality of the restaurants in the Immortal City, this place was like a large market in the Mortal world.

Since it only sold spiritual food and the quality varied, those who came here were all sorts of eccentric people; ordinary cultivators who had few desires would rarely visit such places.

Xie Wantang nodded slightly and walked to a small stall.

It was selling small meat balls similar to the takoyaki on Blue Star, emitting the salty-sweet aroma of batter and sauce.

She held up two fingers: "Two portions, please."

"Coming right up."

Just then, Xu Changsheng stepped forward and took out thirty Spirit Stones: "Hello, Fellow Daoist, just one portion will do."

The stall owner's face darkened; he took the Spirit Stones and reluctantly skewered a box, handing it over.

"Here, for you."

Xu Changsheng held out the skewer of balls to Xie Wantang, grinning.

"Why only one portion? You clearly haven't eaten."

He grinned: "I'm not hungry."

"Really?"

Xie Wantang didn't know what little trick he was up to, so she took the box and continued walking forward.

Xu Changsheng followed and asked: "By the way, why didn't Fairy Ni step in to help you solve the problem?"

"It's not possible. If she were to act personally, it would set a precedent for the Yue State interfering in the internal conflicts of the Chu State's cultivation world, which is not permitted by the Jinyang Sect."

Hearing this.

Xu Changsheng nodded, and a phrase from Blue Star suddenly flashed through his mind: "Non-interference in other countries' internal affairs..."

Xie Wantang opened her cherry-red mouth and ate the balls one by one with the skewer.

The next instant.

The salty-sweet sauce, the fresh scent of seaweed, and the smoky deliciousness of Bonito Flakes intertwined with the rich batter, sliding warmly into her stomach.

A comfortable feeling welled up in her heart, making her want to scream: "It's so delicious."

As expected of a Second Level spiritual food, it even carried a hint of the mundane world's flavor, which was simply incomparable to the First Level spiritual food in Wangjiang Restaurant.

Then, a surge of heat rose from her abdomen, rushing straight to the top of her head, before turning into pure Spiritual Qi and flowing into her limbs and bones.

She peeked at Xu Changsheng, only to find him staring at her intently: "How is it? Is it good?"

Her heart panicked, and she turned her head away, avoiding his gaze: "It's ordinary."

"Then let me have a bite."

"Didn't you say you weren't hungry?"

"I'm hungry now."

"You..."

Xie Wantang speechlessly took out another bamboo skewer from the side of the paper box and handed it to him.

Snap.

Just as Xu Changsheng took it, his fingertips suddenly moved, and the bamboo skewer snapped.

"What are you doing?"

"Accident, I used a bit too much strength. Are there any more?" Xu Changsheng scratched his head somewhat sheepishly.

She said coldly: "No more, this was the last one."

He said in a slightly aggrieved tone: "Alright, I'll go back to my Immortal Cave tonight for Body Refining and just eat two Inedia Pills; I won't be hungry."

At that moment.

Xie Wantang disdainfully skewered a ball and brought it to his lips.

"Here."

Xu Changsheng was a bit surprised: "Are you going to feed me?"

"Eat it or leave it."

"I'll eat!"

The corners of his mouth curled up quietly as he opened his mouth and swallowed it, not forgetting to lick the bamboo skewer.

Seeing this, and then seeing Xu Changsheng's expression of having succeeded in a scheme.

Xie Wantang finally knew why he only wanted one box earlier and even broke the skewer.

Her face instantly turned red to the tips of her ears: "You, you went to all this trouble just, just for this?"

Xu Changsheng chewed and murmured: "No reason, I just wanted to eat the balls."

Xie Wantang turned around: "How old are you, still playing these childish tricks? I don't want to talk to you anymore."

She didn't forget to put the bamboo skewer back in the box and take it with her.

She decided she wouldn't think about this bastard again until he arrived at Donglin Fortress.

Walking out of the Tasty Food Workshop, she quietly looked back.

Finding that Xu Changsheng hadn't followed her, a trace of guilt flashed in her heart.

She wondered if she had been too harsh just now; it was just a thirty Spirit Stone snack, yet she had said such things.

A gust of wind blew.

Feeling empty inside, she returned to the Tasty Food Workshop, but Xu Changsheng was nowhere to be seen.

She could only walk toward the city gate dejectedly.

...

The hundred-zhang-high city wall appeared in her sight.

Xie Wantang's gaze was drawn to a man and a woman beneath the wall.

It was Xu Changsheng and Crimson Rainbow.

The former waved at her and smiled: "You were walking too fast just now and I couldn't keep up, so I just came here to the city gate to wait for you."

Xie Wantang's pace unconsciously quickened as she came before him.

With hurried breath, she took out a token engraved with the character 'Xie' and handed it over: "Take this; you can use it to find me directly at Donglin Fortress."

"This is?"

Crimson Rainbow, who was beside them, quickly noticed something was wrong: "Eh? Isn't this Sister Tang's Clan Chief Life Tablet? How can you give it to him?"

Xu Changsheng accepted it with a smile; now that Xie Wantang's mental knot was untied, the probability of encountering a Heart Demon during a future Breakthrough would be reduced.

"Let's go."

Xie Wantang didn't dare look him in the eye and dragged Crimson Rainbow away.

The latter, full of suspicion, looked back at Xu Changsheng: "Fellow Daoist Xu, Sister Tang really was coaxed back into a good mood by you!"
