Volume 1: The Great Tribulation of Longhan Chapter 22: Washing Away the Dust and Refining the Treasure
Fengqi main peak, under the phoenix tree.
“Ding ding~dong dong~”
Fuxi was sitting cross-legged on the ground with a five-stringed harp placed on his knees.
His long, graceful hands gently stroked the strings, creating layers of rippling music.
The music is like a pool of clear and cool spring water, flowing through the heart, soft and peaceful; it is also like a breeze on the lake on a summer night, making people feel relaxed.
Nuwa was sitting at a small table under the paulownia tree, fiddling with the white jade tea set given by Mingyu with her delicate hands.
Scalding the pot, placing the cup, warming the cup, high pouring, low foaming... Nuwa learned all of this by herself, and her movements flowed smoothly and were indescribably graceful.
She even steeped the spiritual tea seven times to make the tea fragrance distinct.
After the first layer of water is brewed, the warm fragrance rises from the cup and fills your nose;
The second layer of water is brewed, mellow and sweet;
The third layer of water is brewed, and the richness remains;
After the fourth layer of water is brewed, there is a faint floral scent;
After the fifth layer of water was brewed, a fragrance gradually spread;
After the sixth layer of water is brewed, the taste becomes light, long-lasting and elegant, and the fragrance becomes quiet and subtle;
The seventh layer of water has been brewed, the water has passed silently but left a clear melody, where can I find the sound of the strings on a moonlit night?
Mingyu sat quietly by the side, staring at the graceful movements of the slender hands without blinking, as if she was attracted by Nuwa's elegance.
In fact, he was nervous.
Wait until Nuwa finished her seven soaks and Mingyu finished her last cup of tea.
He felt that the originally fierce aura of the man in red was slowly calming down.
In fact, Fuxi’s playing of the piano was not just playing the piano, and Nuwa’s making of tea was not just making of tea.
The music and tea are all used to "cleanse" Nuwa.
Traveling across the vast land and the starry sky for seventy thousand years is not an easy task.
Apart from the magic treasure hunt, the dragon clan, unicorn clan, and phoenix clan all tried to stop Nuwa and her group.
There are even powerful beings whose identities are unknown hiding in the void and making attacks in secret.
Nuwa's Heavenly Sword appeared frequently, and no less than seven powerful beings at the ninth level of Daluo died in her hands.
Therefore, when she returned to Fengqi, her fierce and domineering aura did not completely dissipate.
Mingyu heaved a sigh of relief, and when she heard the music stop, she secretly looked at Fuxi and blinked. That meant:
"It sounds so beautiful, would you like to play it for a while longer, Master?"
Fuxi ignored Mingyu's gaze, put away the five-stringed zither, slowly stood up and sat down at the small table.
Then pick up a cup of tea and sip it carefully.
Seeing this, Mingyu also silently picked up a cup of tea, and stared at Nuwa's right hand intentionally or unintentionally, fearing that the Heavenly Sword would be in her hand in the blink of an eye.
Nuwa felt Mingyu's gaze, her beautiful eyes slightly rolled up, and she stretched out her mutton-fat white fingers and flicked him on the forehead.
"Why? Are you interested in my Heavenly Sword again?"
The sound is as beautiful as a song.
"Oh, who do you think I am, Your Majesty? How could I ever plot against Your Majesty's Heavenly Sword?"
Mingyu covered her smooth forehead and said somewhat aggrievedly.
He dared to borrow the Precious Lotus Lantern and the Map of Mountains and Rivers, but he really didn't dare to borrow the Red Embroidered Heavenly Sword.
Others may not know, but how could he not know after staying in Fengqi Mountain for so long - the two goddesses Nuwa and Fuxi only have one accompanying innate spiritual treasure!
That’s right, it’s the top-grade innate spiritual treasure, the five-stringed harp.
However, the five-stringed zither is in line with Fuxi's Great Dao. Strictly speaking, it is more like Fuxi's companion spiritual treasure.
In other words, Nuwa does not have her own companion spirit treasure.
Breeding a top-grade innate spiritual treasure is the limit of Fengqi Mountain.
Where did the Heavenly Sword come from? It’s simple—Nüwa made it herself.
She was born with a natural affinity for nature and walked the sacred path of nature, but she chose the path of the sword as a secondary practice and refined a sword for herself, the Red Embroidered Sky Sword, which was murderous, mighty and domineering!
And this Heavenly Sword is the only carrier of Nuwa’s sword art.
The further and deeper Nuwa goes on the road of sword, the sharper the Heavenly Sword becomes.
Although it is an acquired thing, in Nuwa's hands, its power is no less than any innate spiritual treasure that can kill people.
Even Fuxi had to raise his eyebrows when he saw Nuwa draw out the Heavenly Sword, let alone Mingyu who dared not even think about it.
He didn't know whether the power of the world of Mountains, Rivers, States and Countries would crush him to death.
The chaotic blade light of the Red Embroidered Sky Sword can definitely cut him into pieces cleanly.
Nuwa just chuckled at Mingyu's answer and did not comment.
This blue phoenix is very brave, is there anything he dare not do?
Mingyu saw Nuwa raise her head and twist her neck.
He ran to Nuwa in a hurry and started massaging her shoulders and back.
"My lady, is this strength still okay?"
"Um."
The queen responded softly.
"Madam, stretch out your arms, and I will give you a massage."
"Um."
Fuxi, who was standing by, blinked and coughed twice.
“Ahem!”
Mingyu pretended to be deaf and dumb and served Nuwa wholeheartedly.
"Are you satisfied, Madam?"
"Um."
"Could you lend me some merit, Madam?"
"Uh-huh?"
The real purpose is revealed.
Nuwa raised the corner of her mouth, patted Mingyu's hand away, and looked at Mingyu as if she was enjoying herself.
Mingyu looked flattering .
He has been eyeing Nuwa's merits for a long time.
When Mingyu heard that Nuwa went to work as a porter in the ancient world and earned a large amount of Xuanhuang merit from the Heavenly Dao, he felt that he had suffered a great loss.
If I had known earlier that I wouldn't be in such a hurry to transform, and follow the Empress out, maybe I could have gotten something.
Of course, Mingyu was just thinking about it. He hadn't transformed yet, so he would be a burden if he followed them. Teng Snake could at least help defend against the enemy.
Otherwise he would not have obtained those two points of merit .
"What do you need so much merit for?"
Nuwa opened her red lips and asked curiously.
Fuxi also looked over.
This little fellow usually tinkers with meritorious deeds when he has nothing to do, and he also gets a lot of benefits from the Heavenly Dao.
If we really talk about merits, Mingyu has definitely accumulated a lot.
"Refine the spiritual treasure that protects the Dao!"
Mingyu took out a white jade bracelet inlaid with dark yellow jade with a helpless look on her face.
"This is the spiritual treasure I plan to sacrifice and refine - the Wheel of the Heavens."
In the ancient times, the great way is the foundation, and the supreme treasure is indispensable for those who practice the Tao. With the supreme treasure to protect oneself and the Tao, one can go further.
However, there are only a few innate treasures in the entire prehistoric world, and they are all in the hands of famous and sacred people.
Mingyu has high ambitions. Since he doesn't need to think about innate things, he plans to refine an acquired treasure for himself.
To refine an acquired treasure is not something you can do just by thinking about it.
Opportunity, great path, and merit are all indispensable.
The great way is still being sought, and the opportunity has not yet come, so Mingyu can only start with merit.
First refine the Dao Wheel of the Heavens into a spiritual treasure of sth.
Mingyu injected all the Xuanhuang merits that he had obtained for free from the Heavenly Dao into the Wheel of the Heavenly Dao.
But for some reason, even though there are quite a lot of merits, this wheel cannot be successfully upgraded to a De Ling Bao.
For this reason, Mingyu studied it for 50,000 years but still could not figure it out.
He even dismantled the only remaining acquired merit spiritual treasure and still had no clue.
Knowing that Nuwa had earned a huge amount of merit, he planned to borrow some merit from Nuwa to increase the amount and promote sales!
He suspected that he had not done enough good deeds.
I heard Mingyu say that she wanted to practice the acquired merit treasure.
Nuwa and Fuxi could not help but be surprised once again at the little guy's courage.
