Chapter 630: Bathing in Yaochi, the Secret of Senior Sister
"Sister, what do you mean by this?"
Even though he had doubts before, when his senior sister really admitted it, he still found it hard to believe and felt a little bitter in his heart.
Could it be that Senior Sister is the invisible hand, and that she was the one who planned everything that happened after coming to Heaven this time?
Taizhen did not answer his question, but continued to look at the lake at her feet.
"This lake is Yaochi, and it is also the bathing place of the Queen Mother of the West. According to legend, this lake is where the Yaochi spiritual veins converge. Every drop of water is comparable to a panacea and has infinite benefits for people. Although the spiritual energy is now lost, it is still far better than the Huaqing Pool in the human world."
Li Daoxuan frowned slightly. He didn't know why his senior sister suddenly mentioned this lake.
The lake water was emerald green and bottomless. Even with Li Daoxuan's divine eyes, he could only see about ten feet below. Below that it was pitch black.
Despite having lost its spiritual energy, this Yao Chi is still extraordinary and seems to have some strange divine power.
Taizhen glanced at Li Daoxuan's tattered green robe and the dried blood stains on his body, and suddenly said, "Junior brother, why not go to the Yaochi to bathe."
Li Daoxuan was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said, "Senior Sister, let's make things clear first."
Taizhen pursed her red lips and said, "After you have bathed and changed your clothes, come to find me in the palace. I will tell you everything then."
After saying that, she waved her jade hand, and a set of white robes appeared by the pool, neatly folded.
Then she turned and walked towards the bedroom.
Li Daoxuan took a deep breath. No matter what his senior sister had deceived him about, it was undeniable that she had silently given a lot to him over the years.
From the blood of the phoenix used to arrange the Four Sages Formation, to the Xuan-Yuan Sword and the great magical power to mediate the destiny, my senior sister has always been helping me.
He sighed softly, took off his green robe, and entered the Yaochi.
The lake water was surprisingly warm, which quickly calmed his mind. All the pores in his body seemed to relax and stretch, as if his whole body was clear.
After bathing for a while, he came out, evaporated the water droplets with his magic power, and then put on the clothes left by his senior sister.
He wears a cloud crown on his head, a water-repellent suit on his body, a silk sash around his waist, cloud-walking shoes on his feet, and a white robe and a gold belt. He looks handsome, elegant, and refined.
With the faint mist rising from the side of the pool, it really feels like being a fairy.
Li Daoxuan was a little surprised. He stroked the cloud pattern on the clothes and felt that it was soft, comfortable, and light as a feather. It was incomparable to any other fabric in the world.
And there are no stitches on the clothes, it looks completely natural.
He suddenly remembered that the Weaver Girl was a female fairy belonging to the Queen Mother of the West. She was best at using the clouds in the sky to weave fairy clothes, so she was called the Weaver Girl.
Could it be that this fairy dress was made by the fairy from Yaochi?
Li Daoxuan put away his torn green robe. It was sewn by the empress herself and must not be thrown away. He could mend it and continue to wear it later.
After everything was ready, he took a deep breath and walked towards Kunlun Palace.
Different from the plain and natural Tushita Palace, Kunlun Palace is extremely luxurious. Every brick, tile, beam and pillar appear to be carved from gold and jade, gleaming with precious stones and dazzling the eyes.
If he wasn't in a hurry to see his senior sister, Li Daoxuan would really like to try to dismantle this place and pack it up to take away.
Passing through numerous buildings, he arrived at the center of Kunlun Palace. When he opened the door, a strange fragrance hit him in the face.
Elegant and simple, yet with a long-lasting aftertaste.
"Junior brother, this outfit really suits you. You look much more handsome in it."
Taizhen was still dressed the same as before. She looked Li Daoxuan up and down with her phoenix eyes and revealed a satisfied smile.
Li Daoxuan looked around and found that this seemed to be the place where the Queen Mother of the West rested. There were many colored glaze lamps lit around, and the flames looked like flying phoenixes.
The strange fragrance also wafts out from these glass lamps. It smells very good and has the miraculous effect of calming the mind and meditation.
The most eye-catching thing is the phoenix bed not far away. The Queen Mother of the West is obviously a deity who knows how to enjoy life. The phoenix bed is made of clouds as brocade, mist as curtains, and is spread with a soft mat woven with phoenix feathers.
Li Daoxuan also felt a hint of dragon power from the bed, as if there were dragon bones in it.
A dragon and phoenix as a bed represents a supreme status.
"Senior Sister, you probably have a lot to say to me."
Li Daoxuan sat in front of her with a serious expression.
Taizhen looked at him, her face looked so bright and charming under the firelight.
"Junior brother, do you remember where we first met?"
“Zhongnan Mountain.”
"Now that you have reached the human immortal realm, you should know what to do if you want to further cultivate to become an earth immortal."
Li Daoxuan said without hesitation: "Look for a famous mountain to nourish with the energy of the earth veins--"
His voice stopped abruptly.
After a long while, he smiled bitterly and said, "Senior Sister, so you were not in seclusion at that time, but were cultivating to become an earth immortal."
This is the key point. Li Daoxuan has always believed that his senior sister stayed at home all day and did not dare to practice in order to fight against the consciousness of the Queen Mother of the West.
Now it seems that she is actively practicing and has been working hard silently, even though doing so is likely to accelerate the awakening of Queen Mother Xi's consciousness.
"Why?"
Li Daoxuan couldn't help but ask.
"Because I don't want to be an ostrich waiting to die. Only by gaining stronger power can I have a chance to defeat Him."
Even if doing so is like dancing on a tightrope .
An indescribable look suddenly appeared in Taizhen's eyes, and her whole body seemed to radiate a different kind of charm.
"Because I want to win, even if my opponent is the Queen Mother of the West!"
Li Daoxuan was silent for a moment, then asked, "What does that have to do with me? What are you lying to me about?"
Taizhen suddenly smiled sweetly, then reached out and gently stroked Li Daoxuan's cheek, lifting his chin like a female hooligan.
"Junior brother, you do have a handsome face."
Li Daoxuan looked at her expressionlessly and stepped back slightly.
"But I have seen many handsome men. When we met in Zhongnan Mountain, I was almost a terrestrial immortal, and you were just a small cultivator in the Yin God Realm. Have you ever thought about..."
Taizhen put away her hand, smiled faintly, and said: "Why would I take the initiative to be ambiguous with you?"
Li Daoxuan opened his lips slightly, but could not speak.
"I became an immortal through cultivation. Although it was because of Him, an immortal is still an immortal. Mortals are filthy in my eyes. Can you imagine how an immortal's heart of Taoism could be so easily moved?"
"Even if you are my junior fellow apprentice, I have already done my best by teaching you the Golden Light Divine Mantra by the West River. I shouldn't have to run around and work hard for you, or even surrender to the Queen Mother of the West who has resisted me for so many years just to give you the Xuanyuan Sword."
Her voice was somewhat ethereal, as if it came from the sky.
"Junior brother, your story and mine is just one of my works, just like the many stories I have written before, there is no difference."
"Why?"
Li Daoxuan felt a little bitter in his heart. Although he was unwilling to admit it, he understood that what his senior sister said made sense.
A woman who can cultivate to become an immortal cannot be the kind of person who is blindly in love, otherwise she would not be worthy of playing games with the Queen Mother of the West.
Tai Zhen said leisurely: "Because this is a deal, someone has already paid the chips for you."
Without waiting for Li Daoxuan to ask, she continued, "You don't need to ask who that person is. I can't tell you either. I can only say that person used a piece of information that is very important to me to let me get close to you and help you become an immortal, and then... tricked you into going to heaven."
Li Daoxuan suddenly felt a chill in his heart.
He recalled the first time he saw the Heavenly Palace on earth, the corpse of the Heavenly King Mo Liqing was floating on the Milky Way, holding a piece of gold foil with the Eight-Nine Mysterious Arts written on it in his hand.
At that time, he was almost tricked into heaven.
Could it be that the person that Senior Sister was talking about is the terrifying existence hidden in the Heavenly Palace?
But why did the other party notice him? Was it because he realized his identity as a time traveler, or was it because of the "Book of Demon-Exorcising" in his mind?
"Senior Sister, I guess... the news that is very important to you is related to how to get rid of the Queen Mother of the West."
Tai Zhen said frankly: "Junior brother, you are very smart. If I want to get rid of the Queen Mother of the West, I have to come to the Heavenly Palace and find something."
"Have you found it now?"
“Found it.”
Li Daoxuan finally understood and said, "So Heaven is the place you must come to. No wonder you were so skilled in flying the dragon that day and opened the portal to Heaven so easily."
"That's right, but I didn't expect that you, Junior Brother, would find Langzhong in advance and discover the clues, so the plan had to be advanced by a few years."
"According to the original arrangement, you would have heard from me after you had achieved immortality, and then come to Langzhong to look for me."
Li Daoxuan looked at her and suddenly felt so strange.
Was it a scam from start to finish?
He suddenly felt very ridiculous. He thought he was fighting side by side with his senior sister, but in fact he was just a chess piece of the opponent.
No wonder I was teleported to the bottom of the Tianhe River, because my senior sister has never had any feelings for me. All she cared about was the thing that could help her defeat the Queen Mother of the West.
"Sister, I have one last question."
Li Daoxuan stared into her eyes and said word by word: "At this point, your plan has been successful and you have obtained what you wanted. Why are you still waiting for me in Yaochi?"
"Is this also arranged by that person?"
When she first arrived, she was standing by the Yao Chi, obviously waiting for her.
Li Daoxuan became extremely alert and was ready to summon the three-pointed double-edged sword at any time. He was not sure whether the person behind the scenes was coveting the "Book of Exorcising Demons"?
It is very possible that the other party has been observing him silently. If this is true, then it is impossible for him to hide the secret of possessing the "Book of Demon-Slaying" in his possession.
The rapid improvement in strength and the sudden appearance of various magic weapons and magical powers were noticed by even the Lady in Green, so that person must have seen it all as well.
Taizhen laughed.
"Junior brother, you guessed wrong. It was my own decision to wait for you to come over."
"Because at the end of the story, I want to... use you one more time."
Li Daoxuan was about to speak when he suddenly felt dizzy and his limbs felt weak. Even his body, which had been cultivated through the Eight-Nine Profound Arts, was affected.
It's those aromas!
"This is the Dragon Intoxicating Incense. Even a real dragon will be completely intoxicated after smelling it for a few breaths and will be at the mercy of others. Junior Brother, your body is really amazing. It took such a long time for it to take effect."
Li Daoxuan stood up, but staggered as if he was drunk.
"Senior sister...what exactly are you going to do?"
Taizhen waved her hand and made Li Daoxuan's body float towards the majestic and magnificent phoenix bed.
She walked towards the bed and as she walked, she reached out and untied her goose yellow corset.
The gorgeous phoenix robe slid down her jade body and landed on the soft red cloud carpet. She took off her phoenix crown, and her three thousand black hair cascaded down like a waterfall, adding a bit of charm to her beautiful face.
The jade shoes are tilted, the silk stockings are lying quietly, and the crystal clear and slender jade feet are stepped on the scarlet cloud carpet, making them look even whiter.
"Senior sister, what are you going to do?"
Taizhen took a deep breath, and a blush appeared on her originally cold and elegant face, but there was a hint of anticipation in her eyes, as if she had been waiting for this moment for a long time.
She slowly reached out and untied the silk knot on the snow-white lining.
In the Queen Mother's bedroom, which symbolizes majesty and supremacy, there is suddenly bright spring light and gorgeous brightness.
The icy and graceful figure is like a flawless snow lotus, quietly blooming on the Tianshan Mountains, the peak of Kunlun Mountains.
