Female Water

After Pang Dafu finished speaking, there was a moment of silence.

However, the three people present had completely different focuses.

Pang Dafu naturally focused on getting his daughter treated.

Du Qingquan was shocked at the scene of the incident. "The incident happened in Danzhou?! That's where my Du Household has run our business for a hundred years! Could it be that the ancestral legends are true, Danzhou really has a special connection to the immortals?!"

Li Chengxuan, however, was pondering Pang Dafu's origins. "He cultivates [Wealth Qi], and his master's surname is Yin. The merchant who previously operated amidst the storms and waves of the South Sea was actually an Old Method cultivator from elsewhere!"

Pang Dafu looked around and called out, "Fellow Daoist Li... Fellow Daoist Du..."

Du Qingquan suddenly snapped out of his daze and asked repeatedly, "Is it really Danzhou?! The Danzhou on the White Dragon River?!"

Pang Dafu, somewhat puzzled, nodded and said, "It is indeed in Danzhou."

Du Qingquan looked lost and disappointed, yet also seemed full of anticipation; his expression was somewhat complicated.

After pondering for a moment, Li Chengxuan said, "Since Fellow Daoist Pang has so sincerely invited me, I am willing to take a look. However, I cannot guarantee whether I can resolve the issue."

Pang Dafu was overjoyed. "Fellow Daoist's words are enough! This way, please!"

A moment later, in the back courtyard of the Pang residence.

Li Chengxuan met Miss Pang Household, whom he had dreamt of meeting by chance.

Before I came, Pang Dafu told me that this girl was sixteen years old and had been raised in seclusion since childhood, never having any contact with the family's business affairs, so as not to be tainted by the smell of money.

He came to Southern Reach to help her find a promising lineage for cultivation.

Looking at her now, she is indeed dignified and beautiful, yet there is a loving maternal quality in her eyes.

Her belly was especially swollen like a ball, making her look like she was ten months pregnant.

Pang Dafu looked on with deep regret and explained, "Fellow Daoist, please don't misunderstand. My daughter is unmarried and has never had any intimate relations with anyone."

Li Chengxuan nodded upon hearing this, and was about to step forward to check when he heard a groan.

A maidservant nearby quickly said, "Miss is about to give birth again! Please excuse us, sir and honored guest!"

Li Chengxuan, Pang Dafu, Du Qingquan had no choice but to leave to avoid the situation.

A moment later, the groans inside the room stopped abruptly, but the baby's cries were not heard.

Instead, a maidservant pushed open the door, carrying a wooden basin filled with water, and went to the flower bed in the garden to pour it out.

Li Chengxuan looked thoughtful.

Du Qingquan, who was already eager to answer, blurted out, "This is because the Manifestation is too intense, exceeding the body's and Divine Sense's capacity. When it's too full, it overflows, transforming into external phenomena!"

Pang Dafu turned his head upon hearing this, his face full of surprise. "I didn't expect Fellow Daoist Du to also possess such astonishing wisdom and extraordinary insight!"

Du Qingquan glanced at Li Chengxuan and chuckled awkwardly, "It's nothing more than parroting others' ideas; Fellow Daoist Pang, please excuse my poor attempt."

Pang Dafu nodded in realization and then asked, "Fellow Daoist Li, would you like to go in and take another look?"

"No need," Li Chengxuan shook his head and said with a smile, "If I go forward to check, I'm afraid I might be drawn into your daughter's life force and give birth to children."

After saying that, he gave Pang Dafu a strange look. "Logically speaking, after so long, Fellow Daoist Pang should know."

"Fellow Daoist, you are unaware!" Pang Dafu shook his head repeatedly, tugging at his clothes as he said, "The inner quarters are full of women. I cultivate [Wealth Qi], and I am particular about not revealing my wealth. Moreover, I have my Dharma robes for protection, so I will never leak my Qi."

After saying that, he came to his senses and quickly said, "I think we should go outside to discuss this."

They returned to the outer banquet hall and served fresh tea.

Pang Dafu asked expectantly, "From what Fellow Daoist Du just now, has Fellow Daoist Li seen similar symptoms before?"

Li Chengxuan pondered for a moment, then shook his head and sighed, "Regardless of whether we've seen it before or not, we're still far from resolving this."

Pang Dafu suddenly realized that Li Chengxuan was just using this as an excuse to raise the price, so he decided to reveal something and said frankly, "To be honest, Fellow Daoist Li, I have an Ancient Method artifact that is somewhat connected to the ancient [Human Emperor], and it is extremely valuable and mysterious."

"If you can cure my daughter, I am willing to give her to you!"

"Ancient Method?!" Li Chengxuan was somewhat surprised upon hearing this.

Although the [Human Emperor] is a thing of the past.

But his Merit are already etched in the heavens and earth, and cannot be erased.

Therefore, Ancient Method artifacts related to the [Human Emperor] have always been extremely powerful.

"It's an ancient sword!" Pang Dafu decided to be frank, then took out a small seal and said, "This is the [Contract Gold Seal], a magical Law Artifact I've used to accumulate Manifestation throughout my cultivation. Its purpose is to ensure that [the seal serves as proof, and any agreement made will be fulfilled]."

"I am willing to enter into a contract with you, specifying the payment."

"If I renege on this agreement after it has been stamped, I will suffer a backlash. Not only will my Manifestation be damaged, but I will also lose money and suffer disasters, which will be almost the same as being cut off from my Dao Path."

"Fellow Daoist Pang, there's no need for that." Li Chengxuan naturally wouldn't make a pact with anyone, and reassured him, "It's not that I don't trust you, it's just that your daughter's Manifestation is tied to the Dao lineage and hasn't appeared in the world for a long time. I also need to think things through and sort out my thoughts."

Pang Dafu breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this, put away the golden seal, and asked, "What could be the reason? Fellow Daoist Li, do you have any clues?"

Li Chengxuan did not hide anything and answered directly, "It should be due to an excessive [Female Water] Manifestation."

Hu Yueqiu's entry into the Dao [Fu Water] made the five waters of Kanfu Lupin in the Southern Edge Continent complete, which can also be considered Li Chengxuan's Merit.

On Supreme Mystery Mountain, there are already two lineages of Water Virtue: [Kan Water] and [Fu Water].

There is also a stream of Clear Water in front of them, which also has a connection with Li Chengxuan.

Even the [Confluence Water], which is controlled by the dragon, seems to have a very deep entanglement with Supreme Mystery Mountain.

Among the Five Elements and Five Virtues, the Water Virtue is most benevolent to Li Chengxuan.

Li Chengxuan had only glanced at the Pang Household woman once, yet he had already recognized the aura of [Female Water].

However, Female Water is good at hiding and has not appeared in the world for a long time.

Unexpectedly, it suddenly appeared on the Pang Household woman.

"[Female Water]?!" Pang Dafu frowned upon hearing this and asked, somewhat bewildered, "Which lineage is this?!"

Li Chengxuan was also surprised. "Since Fellow Daoist Pang practices the Old Method, how come I've never heard of [Female Water]?"

Pang Dafu was taken aback upon hearing this, glanced at Li Chengxuan, and explained, "Outside the Southern Edge Continent, the New Method are respected, and the Old Method are not allowed to circulate."

"Even with my Old Method of cultivating Wealth Qi, I cannot reach the Central Continent."

"I've only heard of the Water Virtue [Confluence Water], which is part of the Dragon Lord's lineage. I've also heard snippets about [Kan Water] and [Clear Water]."

"As for [Female Water], I've never heard of it."

Li Chengxuan nodded in agreement and, without asking further questions, said directly, "[Female Water] represents the Water Virtue [hidden position], its imagery being returning to its source, concealment, and fertility."

"Your daughter's [Female Water] vitality was excessive, and unusual phenomena appeared, which led to the birth of a water-born child."

"Next, it will likely erode memories, deplete Essence Blood, and eventually even the body's memories will revert to the shape of an infant."

Pang Dafu was horrified upon hearing this, his obese face filled with horror. He hurriedly asked, "How can this be cured?! Please, Fellow Daoist Li, save my daughter's life!"

Li Chengxuan already had an idea in mind, and said, "[The Female Water] and [The Fu Water] are intertwined in terms of intentions and power, so it is possible to [transfer the storage to the accumulation]."

"[Fu Water] is the Water Virtue [Yunwei], known as [accepting all who come], and can transform [returning to storage] water into [accumulation]."

"However, on the Southern Edge Continent, the only place to find a place with a strong [Fu Water] Manifestation is Mirror Moon Lake."

Pang Dafu knew the location of Mirror Moon Lake, but hesitated, "Mirror Moon Lake... is quite far. I need to manage the Mountain and Sea Chamber of Commerce and can't leave for long. Is there any other way?"

Li Chengxuan nodded upon hearing this, offering no further judgment, and continued, "There is another method, called [Transformation of Hidden Treasures into Flow]."

"[Kan Water] represents the proper Water Virtue, and also signifies navigating danger. It can use the Manifestation [dangerous traps] to break the imagery of [Female Water] being hidden and not released."

"Fellow Daoist Pang could take your daughter to the White Dragon River and wash her with the river water; perhaps that would remove the excess [Female Water] Manifestation."

"Excellent!" Pang Dafu nodded in delight upon hearing this, "Let's use this method! I happen to be going to Danzhou in the next few days, so I would like to ask Fellow Daoist Li to come with me so that he can provide guidance and prevent any mistakes!"

Du Qingquan volunteered, "My Du Household has been in business in Danzhou for a century, we know it very well. I'm willing to go too."

Pang Dafu nodded in agreement. "That would be perfect!"

"There's one more thing..." Seeing Du Qingquan and Pang Dafu rubbing their hands together in anticipation, Li Chengxuan had to pour cold water on their enthusiasm. "Your daughter once said that she encountered an immortal in a dream, who bestowed upon her fortuitous opportunity."

"Immortals are certainly not possible."

"Perhaps some Foundation Establishment cultivator has taken a liking to your daughter and is intentionally setting up a test to see if he can take her as his disciple."

"If we rashly intervene, we might anger the upper cultivator, which could be very dangerous."

After Pang Dafu deliberation, Pang Dafu decided to give it a try.

Wealth can influence the divine, let alone spiritual cultivation!

Li Chengxuan and Du Qingquan went back to make some preparations, as they would be setting off for Danzhou the next day.

Although Du Qingquan forced himself to endure it, he couldn't suppress his excitement and anticipation.

Li Chengxuan didn't ask any further questions and lowered his head to think.

It seems that my [Foundation Establishment fortuitous opportunity] will indeed fall in Danzhou, and it is also related to [the Female Water] and [the Clear Water].

[Female Water] is good at hiding and does not appear in the world for a long time, which goes without saying.

As for [Clear Water]...

Li Chengxuan glanced at Du Qingquan and sighed.

The Du Household has indeed been operating in Danzhou for over a hundred years.

However, Li Chengxuan had read the sect's internal history at Supreme Mystery Mountain.

Danzhou City was called Danzhou more than a hundred years ago.

Because the city has many clear springs and Azure Cloud Sect, creating a spectacular sight of "blue clouds threatening rain, and mist rising from the still waters," it was named Danzhou.

Later, Danzhou was ravaged by Devil Cultivator.

The heavens sent down a torrent of turbid rain, stripping away flesh and blood, leaving behind a horde of white bones.

At that time, the sect leader of Supreme Mystery Mountain was seriously injured and on the verge of death, and was forced to go down the mountain to eliminate the demon.

Seeing the terrifying demonic calamity, with mortals suffering heavy casualties.

The then-leader of Supreme Mystery Mountain simply buried the spring and changed its name from Dan to Dan, intending to sacrifice the water to save the people.

If Li Chengxuan remembered correctly, the demon who was killed should have been surnamed Du, and he cultivated the [Clear Water] technique.
