Jade Capital Mountain's Location, Lost Fair and Square
In the end, Hao was also tricked into sitting down at the Mahjong.
He, Yao, Wu Chu, and Qingqiu Li sat down at a table.
Houtu and Little Moon Spirit sat next to Wu Chu watching, the Little Fox sat next to Hao teaching him how to play, Yao sat to Wu Chu's left, and Big Red stood behind her.
The Little Flower Fairies floated in the air, surrounding them and occasionally offering them desserts, serving them with utmost care.
While playing Mahjong with them, Wu Chu asked them about their experiences along the way, and then used their route to confirm the location of Jade Capital Mountain.
In fact, Jade Capital Mountain was indeed marked on his map, but his master had not told him Jade Capital Mountain exact location.
When Wu Chu asked him about it, he only said that the time was not yet right.
Therefore, Wu Chu thought that his master probably saw through his reclusive nature and therefore felt that his cultivation was insufficient and he would definitely not leave the mountain easily.
On the map, Jade Capital Mountain is indeed located in Kunlun. However, the map is flat, not three-dimensional, and Jade Capital Mountain is an independent Grotto-Heaven that exists in the Primordial World, so even if you know it is in the Kunlun Territory, it is difficult to find the real entrance.
As they chatted, Wu Chu asked, "Junior Brother, do you know those three fellow Daoists from Kunlun Mountain?"
Then Hao asked, "There are more than three fellow Daoists on Kunlun Mountain. Who are you referring to, Senior Brother?"
Yao smiled and said, "The senior brother must be referring to those three brothers from Three Purities Mountain! The Taishang Daoist of Great Purity Mountain, the Taoist Yuanshi of Jade Purity Mountain, and the Tongtian Xiaodao of Upper Purity Peak Mountain."
"The Path to Tongtian?"
Wu Chu couldn't help but laugh. If Tongtian heard someone call him "Xiaodao," he would probably go crazy: Where's my sword!
Yao smiled and asked, "Senior brother, do you know what those three fellow Daoists look like?"
Wu Chu smiled and said, "I've heard a little about them. Sister Qingqiu met them before and mentioned them to me when she came back. Junior Sister, you know them too? Junior Brother and Sister, have you met them?"
Yao smiled and shook her head. "Actually, we've never actually met them either; it's all just hearsay. We heard that of the three brothers, the eldest is an old Daoist with white hair, the second is a middle-aged Daoist, and the youngest is a young Daoist, so calling him 'Little Daoist' isn't an exaggeration."
As she spoke, she looked at Qingqiu Li, "Sister Li, is that so?"
Qingqiu Li smiled and nodded, "That's true. Moreover, the three brothers each have very different personalities. The eldest brother has a kind face but is taciturn and doesn't like to argue; the second brother seems to follow the rules and appears somewhat rigid, even stubborn, and likes to be particular, but in reality, he has a fiery temper and often dislikes the third brother; because the third brother loves freedom, he is often described by the second brother as undisciplined and unruly."
"Why did you suddenly bring up those three, Senior Brother?" Hao asked.
Wu Chu smiled and said, "From what you've told me about your journey, I have a feeling that you must have come from the Kunlun region, which is why I asked this question."
This was to tell them that she knew the location of Jade Capital Mountain by deducing it from their conversation, rather than knowing it all along.
"..."
Hao was taken aback, then gave a wry smile. "Senior brother, you guessed it yourself; I didn't say anything. If Master blames you, you'll have to compensate me."
Wu Chu laughed and said, "Don't worry! I'm not an outsider. My master will talk to me about this sooner or later. Besides, with my current cultivation level, I won't go out and wander around aimlessly." As he spoke, he threw out a nine of bamboo.
"Hehe, I won! Thank you, senior brother!"
Yao, sitting to the left of Wu Chu, smiled and pushed the cards over.
Sitting next to Wu Chu, Little Moon Spirit frowned. "Why would Brother A Chu play the Nine of Bamboo? We've already drawn seven or eight rounds of tiles. Playing this big hand is so dangerous!"
Qingqiu Li glanced at Wu Chu and said, "It would have been better to let Little Moon Spirit have it! This is such an obvious favoritism; even Little Moon Spirit noticed."
Yao chuckled and said, "You can't do that! I won with my own skills. Why are you saying that Senior Brother let me win? That's not fair!"
"Exactly, I lost by my own skill, how can you say I threw the game?" Wu Chu said smugly to Qingqiu Li, "If you find it boring, you can let Little Moon Spirit play."
Little Moon Spirit quickly waved her hand, "No, no, I'll just watch you guys play."
Little Moon Spirit wasn't good at these kinds of calculations, or rather, she was just too lazy to use her brain.
Otherwise, with their cultivation level, memorizing every card on the table and then deducing the cards in other people's hands and the remaining cards in the wall of cards based on the played cards would be an easy task. Of course, using Divine Sense to read the cards—a cheating method—is obviously not feasible.
Why did Mahjong become so popular among the Witch Clan?
Because most witches don't like to use their brains, they often rely entirely on luck.
This is very different from the shamans in ancient China tribes, because those shamans were wise men.
However, Wu Chu felt that it wasn't that those shamans were particularly intelligent, but rather that the primitive humans in those tribes had limited knowledge and experience, which made them appear foolish.
In this Primordial Land, the Witch Clan of this era was clearly more adept at using their brains than other creatures in the Primordial World.
And so, Hao and Yao settled down on Purple Jade Mountain, occasionally exchanging cultivation insights with Wu Chu. Although he was Wu Chu's junior brother, his cultivation was still much stronger than Wu Chu's.
Wu Chu can at most be considered to have initially entered the Taiyi Realm, while Hao has been immersed in the Taiyi Realm for many years. Given more time, he will be able to step into the Daluo realm.
Don't underestimate him just because he's only the patriarch's little disciple; his cultivation level is by no means low.
In his spare time, Hao would also learn new dishes from Little Moon Spirit. In terms of cooking skills, Little Moon Spirit was already far ahead of them, and Hao didn't feel embarrassed at all when learning from Little Moon Spirit.
I wonder what he'll think when he becomes the Heavenly Emperor and looks back on his days as a culinary apprentice?
Houtu and Qingqiu Li would also take Yao around to the Houtu Tribe and Qingqiu... After Houtu, she was Wu Chu's junior sister, and they all treated her like one of their own.
These leisurely days lasted for decades.
On this day, a group of little demons came to Purple Jade Mountain. The leader was a little demon with crane legs who had long, slender legs, and next to him was a simple-looking minotaur.
It's been several Epoch met, and neither of these two has managed to reach the Golden Immortal Realm. It's clear that their cultivation level is just so-so.
Upon seeing these two "old acquaintances," Wu Chu was somewhat puzzled, but he still asked Bai Ze to accompany Little Yellow Dragon, the eldest disciple of Purple Jade Mountain, to go out and meet these lesser demons.
"I am Huanglong, the eldest disciple of the master of Purple Jade, the hermit of Mountain Recluse Who Never Leaves. May I ask where you all come from and what brings you here?" Little Yellow Dragon, who looked to be about eleven or twelve years old, was very polite.
Although he was still young, because of the small dragon horns on his head, no lesser demon dared to underestimate him because of his age.
After all, the names of the Three Clans were simply too renowned in this Primordial Land.
As Dragon Clan, even though he is young, Little Yellow Dragon is still powerful enough to intimidate those who dare to challenge him.
The Crane-Leg Daoist bowed in return, "This humble Daoist, He Jiu, has come to pay respects to the Lord of Purple Jade on the orders of my King. My King successfully advanced to the Taiyi Realm several years ago, and to celebrate this achievement, he has decided to host a banquet for all guests and friends at Danzhang Mountain in six years. I earnestly request that the Lord of Purple Jade grace us with his presence; my King will be eternally grateful and will surely offer generous gifts in gratitude!"
