Water-Leaving Pearl

"If you ever learn the art of Turning Stone into Gold, don't go around giving away gold."

Even without experiencing life on the mountain, just passing the Heart-Questioning Trial still makes some difference.

Since he was a fellow Daoist's disciple, Fang Zelin felt he should offer some guidance to prevent the other party from making mistakes in the future.

Upon hearing this, Zhenke quickly nodded, indicating that she understood.

"Let's go, let's find a place to stay for the night. We can't afford the inns here."

At this point, Fang Zelin shook his head, a hint of emotion on his face.

Who would have thought that staying overnight in this remote town would cost so much?

As they talked, the two searched around the town, hoping to find a place to sleep.

What I didn't expect was that there was nowhere to rest in this small town.

The town is filled with houses, many of which are guesthouses, and some locals even use private houses as guest rooms without permission.

Unfortunately, the prices here were exorbitant. After checking his pockets, Fang Zelin decided to stay home with Zhenke and wander the streets.

"Let's stay here for the night."

After searching for a while, the only few dilapidated houses were filled with beggars.

Not wanting to compete with them for a seat, Fang Zelin immediately found a pavilion in the rain and sat down, intending to rest there for the night.

With a flick of her sleeve, Zhenke sent a gentle breeze that swept away all the dust in the pavilion before she sat down.

After Zhenke sat down, she didn't rest immediately. Instead, she looked at Fang Zelin with bright, curious eyes.

Although she had some contact with this senior colleague, she still felt that she had not been able to fully understand her.

First came the Scripture of Salvation at Jade Void Mountain, and then came the flying sword at Ancient Cloud Temple.

The flying sword in her sleeve was obtained from the Ancient Cloud Temple.

And those flying swords were all made by the predecessors.

As Zhenke, she saw Senior Fang take out a classic book and read it by the moonlight.

The bright moon shines on the rain pavilion, casting a silvery-white light all around, creating a feeling of purity and tranquility.

When the bright moonlight fell on Senior Fang, it gave him an extra touch of ethereal beauty.

Fang Zelin noticed that Zhenke's gaze was on him, so he looked up and saw that Zhenke was looking at him.

Fang Zelin casually straightened his wide cuffs and looked at the other man with some confusion. "What's wrong? Is there something wrong with my clothes?"

Looking down carefully, I couldn't see any untidy parts of his clothes.

"Of course not, it's just that Xiao Ke is curious that Senior Fang, with his cultivation level, is still reading."

Zhenke looked closely and saw that Senior Fang was holding was the Historical Records of the Immortal Sects.

"Learning has no end, and it has nothing to do with cultivation level," Fang Zelin shook his head, then looked at the moon in the night sky and smiled gently.

It's getting late, you should get some rest. You'll need to get up early tomorrow.

Zhenke responded with a sound of agreement, and then went to sleep fully clothed.

Cultivators don't actually need beds to rest; they can simply enter a meditative state.

You don't have to worry about getting cold at night.

The next day.

The two opened their eyes almost simultaneously, and the rising sun in the distance had already pierced through the clouds.

"Let's wash up and get ready to go."

Fang Zelin spoke, he tossed a bead toward Zhenke.

Then, he took out a pale blue water droplet and put it in his mouth.

"Huh, Water-Leaving Pearl?"

Zhenke then took the bead, and after examining it closely, she was somewhat surprised.

"Hmm, this stuff is pretty good. The little princess of the Dragon Race came a few times before, and I thought it looked quite nice, so I bought some."

Water-Leaving Pearl are a unique type of bead produced by Aquatic Race.

The beads can hold a lot of water, which can be released when used to activate the water in the cloud garment.

The Dragon Race princess had visited a few times before, adding water droplets to the pot while Fang Zelin was cooking, which Fang Zelin found quite strange.

After using it, I asked for some more to use as mouthwash.

And I must say, shoving these beads directly into your mouth makes them incredibly effective for rinsing.

As soon as he finished speaking, the water Water-Leaving Pearl had already rinsed Fang Zelin's mouth several times.

Fang Zelin immediately felt a refreshing sensation in his mouth.

When Zhenke saw Senior Fang put the Water-Leaving Pearl into his mouth and then spit it out a moment later, she knew exactly what Senior Fang had just done.

Upon seeing this, their expressions froze for a moment.

Although the Water-Leaving Pearl aren't exactly priceless treasures, they're still considered rare. How come Senior Fang is using them for rinsing his mouth?

After a slight hesitation, he followed Fang Zelin's example and put the Water-Leaving Pearl into his mouth.

Her small mouth pursed slightly at that moment. When she felt the clear water rush out from the Water-Leaving Pearl and rinse her mouth, Zhenke couldn't help but stiffen her face slightly.

It seems this stuff is really useful as a mouthwash.

Could this be the correct way to use Water-Leaving Pearl?

Let's go.

Fang Zelin quickly washed his face, waved to Zhenke, and then walked away.

After buying a few steamed buns in the small town, the two walked side by side toward the west.

Fang Zelin also bought a map of Northern Liang.

"The dark clouds are heading west. We'll continue on foot, and if we encounter any families along the way, we can ask for their help. Flying might cause us to overshoot our destination."

Since he saw someone in this remote town notice the dark cloud, Fang Zelin decided to follow it to investigate.

To avoid losing track of the trail, Fang Zelin decided to walk the entire way.

Zhenke Ke had no objection to Fang Zelin being the leader.

Although they were walking, the two walked extremely fast, faster than any ordinary horse could keep up with them.

Leaving the border town, I headed west. The journey was quite peaceful, with plenty of vehicles passing by.

Occasionally, one can also see martial arts practitioners riding by.

"Senior, I just inquired at the post station, and their account was exactly the same as the one in the small town. A few days ago, there was indeed a rather strange dark cloud flying towards the front."

After passing by a post station and making some inquiries, Zhenke immediately caught up with Fang Zelin and told him what she had just learned.

Fang Zelin took out the map and looked at it, his brows furrowing slightly.

Following this road, it seems to lead directly into the heart of Northern Liang.

Generally speaking, demons prefer to lurk in remote places.

Could it be that this demon is doing the opposite of what is expected?

Fang Zelin thought to himself, then looked up and saw a village a little ahead.

It looks like we'll be resting in this village tonight.

After walking several dozen steps and rounding a large banyan tree, a village came into view.

It was already sunset, and in the distance, wisps of smoke could be seen rising from the village.
