Chapter 145 A Love Tribulation?
Entry into Chaotian Palace
Guided by Ling Xuzi, the group went directly to the Jia section, which drew the attention of many cultivators.
"Which faction is this? They only sent a group of Nascent Soul juniors and they're allowed to move into Zone A?"
"I don't recognize them; they don't seem to be from the Three Saints Sect."
"It can't be some rogue cultivator, can it?"
"It should be the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion, one of the eight major sects in the Central Region. I know one of them; he is Xiao Yuxian of the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion."
"..."
Amidst everyone's speculation, Chen Chunan and his group were assigned to room number eighteen in section A.
Ling Xuzi said apologetically, "The first few numbers in Jiazi District have already been assigned to specific families, only number 18 is temporarily vacant, please don't mind."
Chen Chunan naturally understood the reason and immediately thanked him, saying, "How could I dare to complain? Being able to stay in Zone A is already a special favor from you, fellow Daoist."
Xiao Yuxian also expressed his gratitude.
Ling Xuzi originally intended to get to know the group better, but he had a mission to complete and had to leave first.
The Daoist Master laughed heartily: "Thanks to you, fellow Daoist, we can also experience the treatment afforded to us by the Holy Sect."
The two little girls, Chen Hongxian and Chen Yunling, were even more curious, looking around and touching everything.
Although Han Yuqiu and his companions were also quite rare, they were rather reserved.
The group gathered together to discuss their plans for attending the conference.
Han Yuqiu took the conference handbook given to her by Ling Xuzi and pointed to some trade items for Nascent Soul level participants.
"They're even trading away Nascent Soul Pills, along with these powerful divine abilities and secret techniques, and all sorts of spiritual treasures. This conference is truly extravagant!"
This was Han Yuqiu's first time attending such a conference, and she was amazed by all the resources available.
Xiao Yuxian laughed and said, "This conference has far more good things than you can imagine. No one in the world can possess all the rare and precious materials."
This conference, held once every century, is precisely a place for everyone to exchange information and resources.
For things like pills, go to the Medicine King Sect; their stuff is both good and cheap.
If you need a custom-made spiritual artifact or a quasi-immortal artifact, just go to Chaoyang Sect or Chaotian Palace; they are unparalleled in artifact crafting.
If it's a spirit talisman, go find the Heavenly Talisman Sect...
With the seasoned Xiao Yuxian there, all the questions that puzzled everyone were answered one by one.
Ever since hearing about the Transformation Pill, Chi Mianxi's eyes have been constantly glancing at Chen Chunan.
When everyone started discussing the rare and precious materials they had brought and what they planned to exchange them for, Chi Mianxi walked confidently to Chen Chunan and spread her little hands.
Just as Chen Chunan was about to ask the two girls what they wanted, he looked up at Chi Mianxi, who was standing there like a wooden stake, and asked, "Hmm?"
Chi Mianxi pouted, "What 'hmm'?! Give me the money!"
Chen Chunan rolled his eyes at Chi Mianxi, who was demanding money with such self-righteousness: "No!"
Seeing Chen Chunan's straightforward rejection, Chi Mianxi immediately became anxious: "Yes, yes! Give me some, you know I'm dirt poor right now, please, waaaah..."
Before Chi Mianxi could finish speaking, her small mouth was tightly covered by a large hand, and she could only make muffled sounds.
Chen Chunan looked extremely flustered; he didn't want that matter to become common knowledge.
The two suddenly embraced, drawing surprised glances from several people.
Chen Chunan gave everyone an awkward smile: "This idiot's acting up again, I'll take her to get treated!"
Turning his head, Chen Chunan gritted his teeth and dragged her out.
Hongxian looked at her brother and Chi Mianxi, her eyes thoughtful.
Han Yuqiu looked at Xiao Yuxian as if she wanted to ask about the situation, but he immediately changed the subject.
外间
Ignoring Chi Mianxi's whimpering protests, Chen Chunan solemnly warned her, "From now on, don't say anything carelessly, especially don't mention what happened last time, okay?"
"Waaaaah! Waaaaaahh ...
"No way! I haven't paid you yet!"
"Waaaaah! Waaaah!"
"Here you go, here you go!"
Upon hearing Chen Chunan agree to pay, Chi Mianxi instantly quieted down, her big eyes sparkling as she stared at Chen Chunan.
Chen Chunan smiled helplessly. Fortunately, he had received some of the assets of the Tianhou clan entrusted to him by Kong Delin, so he was now considered to have some wealth.
He immediately took out a pile of rare and precious materials and piled them on the ground.
"Is this enough?"
"Enough! Enough! I knew Chu Nan was the best to me!"
Chi Mianxi's eyes curved into crescents as she looked at the pair of rare and precious treasures.
The Divine Transformation Pill requires two pills of the same grade or twenty portions of superior spiritual materials.
Chen Chunan just casually grabbed hundreds of portions; he really is a hypocrite, humph!
Chi Mianxi happily put away the pile of spiritual materials.
She turned around and wrapped her arms around Chen Chunan's neck, her face showing shyness: "One more time, I'll reward you..."
Chen Chunan was startled: "Don't—"
...
half an hour later
The two of them went back into the house with natural expressions.
Xiao Yuxian glanced at the two of them very quickly, then felt slightly disappointed.
Chen Chunan coughed twice, then summoned Hongxian and Yunling.
"Red Thread, Cloud Spirit, take these. Buy whatever you like."
As Chen Chunan spoke, he handed over two small treasure bags, each containing dozens of rare and precious herbs, enough for the two women to buy whatever they needed.
Hongxian took the bag but did not come over to be affectionate as usual.
He glanced at Chen Chunan's lips with a strange look.
Chen Yunling gave a standard thank you.
After the two women left, Xin Yuan chuckled mischievously and approached them, teasing them in a voice only the two of them could hear:
"My Lord, only by seeing through greed, anger, and ignorance can you sever the three corpses. You mustn't become obsessed with women."
"Get lost! When did I become obsessed with women? If it weren't for you, you idiot, we wouldn't be in this mess!"
"Hey, just think of it as a tribulation of love, right? Didn't the Pure Yang Immortal have a romantic affair with the Peony Fairy back in the day?"
"Stop making excuses! Lu Zu was trying to enlighten me, not commit a karmic entanglement! You've really ruined my life! If I can't overcome this delusion and achieve the celestial immortality, then it's all your fault!"
"Love is not the same as infatuation. If you can't understand this point, you won't be able to break through it either. But with your temperament, I think you'll have a hard time passing all three tests."
Chen Chunan felt slightly uncomfortable with the words of the Monkey King.
He often told himself that he would surely attain the celestial immortality in this lifetime.
But he knew in his heart that in his previous life he was just an ordinary person who loved wealth, fame, and beauty.
He interprets Journey to the West for money, and to create a buzz, he doesn't meticulously analyze every sentence; instead, he often chooses topics that are easy to talk about.
The goal of generating traffic is to gain traffic and fans, and going deeper, it's to become a top player in the Journey to the West genre, which is essentially for fame.
As for beauty, once it's done, it's indispensable.
The allure of the world is too great for men and women.
This is also why he had only read a few of the classic Confucian, Buddhist, and Taoist texts about Journey to the West in his previous life.
He probably only remembered the phrase "form is not different from emptiness, emptiness is form, form is emptiness" from the Heart Sutra, which is about subduing the undetermined mind.
As for the full text, I'm sorry, I haven't read it.
Originally, if one's spiritual cultivation is successful, as long as one has seen it, one can always find it and review it by going through one's memory.
There's really nothing I can do if I haven't seen it before.
Seeing that his words had even somewhat dampened the spirit of the true self, the Monkey King immediately shouted:
"Fame, fortune, beauty, and lust are things you have to experience before you can see through them. How can you understand them if you don't experience them? Didn't Lu Zu also cling to fame and fortune before he attained enlightenment? If you can get discouraged by this, you might as well give up on cultivating the celestial path and go have a few children with that dragon!"
