Chapter 46 Wind and Moon
Su Luo looked in the direction of the sound.
The crowd ahead had vanished completely; the street was now deserted. A beautiful woman with delicate eyebrows and lips like vermilion strode towards them, her smile radiant and captivating, impossible to ignore.
"You must be Luo Su?"
The female cultivator approached, grabbed Su Luo's hand, and looked at Su Luo with eyes as if she were her long-lost sister, speaking affectionately.
"I've been making pills for so many years, and this is the first time I've heard someone praise the smell of my pills! They all don't understand me! They all say I've failed at making pills, but it's not a failure, it's just that the pills smell a little better! The more fragrant the pills smell, the better their effects, but unfortunately no one has believed me until now! I never thought that someone would finally understand me!"
Su Luo smiled modestly, "I was just telling the truth."
It turned out that the beautiful and charming female cultivator in front of me was Feng Xiyue.
When Ye Danqing mentioned her before, he couldn't hide his disdain. He said she was a very strange alchemist. When asked what was strange about her, he not only refused to say, but his expression was as ugly as if he had eaten shit.
Su Luo now seriously suspects that Ye Danqing may have also been vomited by Feng Xiyue's pills... If so, then that's really... well done!
The enemy of my enemy is my friend, and she's Chu Wenqing's esteemed senior sister, so Su Luo naturally developed feelings for Feng Xixi.
"Fellow Daoist Feng, didn't you just say you wanted to try the kind of food I mentioned?"
Feng Xixi's eyes lit up, "You really have it?"
"Yes, I do, but it's not convenient for me to take it out right now. Let's find a quiet place to talk about it."
Su Luo does indeed have it.
While gathering spiritual plants and fruits in the Pure Mountain, Su Luo discovered two magical fruit trees. The trees bore many palm-sized fruits, which were white with sharp thorns on their shells and emitted a faint smell very similar to durian. Upon opening them, one was surprised to find plump, yellow durian flesh inside.
Although Su Luo didn't know why a tropical fruit like durian would grow in Fanjing Mountain, in cultivation novels, anything is possible. Maybe the durian had mutated?
To prevent poisoning, Su Luo deliberately threw the opened durian flesh into the nearby dog demon area and secretly observed it. Only after confirming that the dogs were still alive and kicking after eating it did she feel safe to try it herself.
Mmm, soft, sweet, and fragrant, it definitely tastes like durian.
Unexpectedly, Su Luo was able to taste durian in the cultivation world, and for free at that. She accepted it all without hesitation, and even dug up a durian tree and stuffed it into her storage bag.
Later, she even recommended that Chunhe try it, but unfortunately, the little girl's expression changed drastically, and she covered her nose and jumped ten meters away. Su Luo could only regretfully try it by herself.
"Alright! Let's hurry to my place!" After saying that, Feng Xiyue grabbed Su Luo and turned to leave. Anyone who didn't know better would think that the two were long-lost sisters.
Chu Wenqing, who had been completely ignored from beginning to end, stared blankly as Su Luo was pulled away by Feng Xiyue, blinking his eyes.
Huh? He's still standing here. Didn't you see him, senior sister?
So he called out softly, "Senior Sister?"
Feng Xiyue was chatting and laughing with Su Luo when she heard Chu Wenqing's voice and turned around. She saw him and looked surprised. "Ah, you're here?"
Chu Wenqing: ...
You didn't even see him standing right there? So all you could see was Su Luo, huh?!
Soon, Feng Xiyue's gaze fell on Chu Wenqing's nose, which was stuffed with a strip of cloth, and she said with obvious disgust, "The smell has already dissipated, so hurry up and take the cloth off, or don't call me senior sister. I'm not like you, stupid and clueless..."
"Well!"
Chu Wenqing felt as if an arrow had been shot into his chest, and he felt like he was going to vomit blood.
After her sharp retort, Feng Xiyue turned to Su Luo with a warm smile and pulled her forward. "Luo Su, I'll treat you to some delicious food later, don't be shy!"
"Okay, trouble."
Lin Ji silently withdrew his gaze and glanced at the dejected Chu Wenqing. Although he was very dissatisfied that Su Luo had been monopolized by a female cultivator, seeing Chu Wenqing's dumbfounded appearance, his mood subtly improved.
"Ah……"
He unconsciously scoffed softly, then strode after him.
Chu Wenqing: ...
I always felt like I was being mocked.
Feng Xiyue led the three of them for a while, and finally they entered a restaurant. Then, she generously threw a bag of spirit stones onto the counter.
"Book three more superior rooms for my friends. Also, prepare more good wine and food and send them upstairs; we want to eat in my room."
The restaurant owner quickly accepted the spirit stones, grinning from ear to ear, "Alright, alright! Please wait a moment, Immortal!"
Feng Xiyue nodded and pulled Su Luo upstairs. Lin Ji and Chu Wenqing followed silently behind. The four of them had such outstanding temperament that they attracted the attention of many people in the lobby.
"These people look extraordinary. Which sect are they disciples from?"
"I estimate that the lowest level of cultivation among them is the early Foundation Establishment stage."
"What are they doing here? Could they also be heading to the Cloud Realm...?"
"That's possible. After all, they're disciples of a sect, and they're well-informed..."
Su Luo keenly grasped the term "Cloud Sky Realm," her eyes flickered, but her face remained expressionless as she followed the others upstairs, her mind racing with calculations.
"Cloud Realm... I've never heard of it. What kind of secret realm is that?"
As soon as she sat down in the room, Feng Xiyue couldn't wait to ask, "Luo Su, now that no one's around, can you send me the food you mentioned?"
They had already booked rooms for them and treated them to a meal, so Su Luo immediately took out a bag of durians and slammed it on the table, instantly filling the room with a peculiar smell.
Chu Wenqing covered her nose, staring in disbelief at the spiky fruit in the bag. "Durian?! You actually have some?!"
Feng Xiyue looked at the bag of durians with great curiosity, poked at the thorns with her finger, and felt a little pain in her fingertip. "Can this be eaten? The thorns look very hard..."
“However…” she leaned closer to smell it, her expression softening, “it has a special fragrance, and I like this scent.”
Compared to her elixirs, this spiritual fruit seems to smell even better.
Su Luo explained, "This is called durian, a very special spiritual fruit. Because the outer shell is covered in thorns, you need to peel it open to eat the soft flesh inside. In addition, the flesh of this spiritual fruit is sweet, soft, and glutinous, which is very addictive."
Feng Xiyue's eyes lit up as she listened, "Then let's open one and give it a try!"
"No!" Chu Wenqing stopped her without thinking. "Senior sister, the smell of durian is strong and hard to dissipate. Someone is coming to deliver the food soon, don't let the smell overwhelm them..."
"What did you say?!"
After being glared at by Feng Xiyue, Chu Wenqing quickly changed his tune, "No, no, just in case I smelled her fragrance..."
Feng Xiyue snorted.
Since Su Luo also advised against opening it now, Feng Xiyue had no choice but to regretfully put the bag of durians into her storage bag, and then took out seven or eight bottles of pills and stuffed them into Su Luo's hand.
"You gave me so many durians, so I'll give you some pills in return. Apart from a bottle of beauty-enhancing pills, most of the rest are for improving cultivation. Oh, and there's also a bottle of marrow-cleansing pills that I carefully crafted. As for the taste, well, it'll be to your liking!"
Su Luo naturally accepted them all.
Even if it's a bottle of Marrow Cleansing Pill with a strong smell, it's still an extremely precious one! It's perfect for her mixed spiritual root constitution.
After exchanging gifts, Su Luo and Feng Xiyue found each other increasingly pleasing to the eye and wished they could call each other sisters on the spot.
Until Chu Wenqing interrupted the two of them, ruining the mood: "Senior sister, where did you get so many spirit stones?"
This is his biggest concern right now! Their sect is so poor, how come his senior sister has so many spirit stones? He just glanced at the bag, and it was bulging, with at least dozens of mid-grade spirit stones inside.
Feng Xiyue glanced at him, then proudly raised her head, "I earned it."
"Earned?"
"That's right. Along the way, there have always been some alchemists who want to compete with me in refining pills. The loser has to give me ten mid-grade spirit stones. It just so happens that you came at the right time. I won and before I even said anything, they were all crying and begging to give me spirit stones!"
Su Luo's smile remained unchanged. "Fellow Daoist Feng is truly amazing!"
Feng Xiyue became even more smug.
Chu Wenqing thought of the commotion just now and his lips twitched as he complained, "With your stench, no one could stand it, okay?"
"Huh? What did you say?" Feng Xiyue narrowed her eyes slightly, and Chu Wenqing secretly thought to himself that something was wrong.
The next moment, Feng Xiyue raised her index finger, and a cluster of flames ignited at her fingertip.
Chu Wenqing jumped up as if her butt was on fire, begging for mercy: "Ahhh! I was wrong, senior sister! I was wrong!!"
"Ha ha……"
"Senior sister! I was wrong! Please don't do this, sob sob..."
