Heng Hua brings Yu Luan to Azure Parasol Island.

The island is full of greenery, not affected by the cold wave, and is covered with various types of paulownia trees.

Fu Henghua took her through the Wutong forest, and Yu Luan asked, "Young Master brought me here, what exactly do you want to prepare?"

"Your girl is not short of things to practice. So, I will take you to my mortal world to buy some fun gadgets."

Behind them, there are Xiaoyu, Hengshou and the equally curious Fu Xuanxing.

Walking through the Wutong forest, the outline of a city suddenly opened up before our eyes.

"This is Cloudsound City, I haven't been here for a long time."

Fu Henghua walked over, and the two Qi Refining monks guarding the door hurriedly said hello.

"Uncle Zeng."

"Why are you two still here? I haven't been here for twenty years, right? You guys haven't changed your shift yet?"

Fu Henghua chatted with the guard at the door, gave the two some instructions on how to practice, and then took the four of them to a chess hall.

"Your girl can only talk on paper and has no theoretical knowledge. This chess skill still needs to be practiced hard."

Walking in, the owner of the chess hall suddenly lit up when he saw Fu Henghua.

He first surrendered to Fu Henghua, then ran into the inner room. "Dad, come out quickly, look who's coming!"

An old man was forcibly pulled out. Seeing that Fu Henghua was still as beautiful as before, he couldn't help but be stunned. "Master Fu hasn't been here for many years, but unexpectedly... Hurry, go and prepare tea. The young master drank like a silver needle back then -"

"It's okay, you don't have to be so cramped," Fu Henghua Shi Shiran sat down, "Brother, I want to give someone a chess set. After thinking about it, your craftsmanship is the best."

"It's easy to talk about. I just made a pair last year and gave it to you right away."

The old man went in to get the chessboard and sent someone to find the others.

Fu Henghua was not surprised, and said with a smile, "Find a few more people and ask them to prepare more things. It is best for girls to use at home, something more interesting."

"Girl?" When the old man heard this, he quickly asked someone to go to other shops to find someone.

By the time he took out the chessboard, people from several nearby shops had already gathered around him.

"Master Fu, look at my set of jade carvings. Do they meet the standards for Daoism?"

"Look at my brocade, which I weaved the year before last. After I finished it, I felt like I was on the verge of a breakthrough."

Xiaoyu and Hengshou were not surprised. But Yu Luan and Fu Xuanxing were stunned when they saw this group of Qi Refining monks surrounding Fu Henghua.

Heng Hua appease everyone and ask them to line up one by one.

First, she picked up the brocade and looked at it carefully. After Fu Henghua gave some instructions, the lady happily took the brocade and left.

Then there was a painter holding a Danqing landscape painting.

"It smells like Spirit Portrait, but it's not even close. If you want to become a Daoist, it's best to practice more. However, your skills are stuck in a bottleneck and you can't break through in a short time. Instead, you are restless and get stuck deeper and deeper. If you have time, go outside and take a look more. Go to Central Region, there may be an opportunity for you there."

Then there is the jade carver, who is holding a Coiling Dragon jade carving.

Heng Hua flicked his hand, and Jade Dragon suddenly came to life, flew outside twice, and returned to the mountain base.

"The jade carvings have spirits and can enter the Tao."

The jade carver thanked Fu Henghua and didn't even take the jade carving. He gave it to Fu Henghua and went back to prepare it immediately.

In this way, Fu Henghua gave guidance to a group of people and even helped several people discuss how to run their business.

When the last person came over with a wine bottle, Fu Henghua subconsciously leaned back.

"Longevity Wine?"

"Exactly," the big man said with a blush, "I brewed it three months ago. There are three pots in total. I wonder if it can be used."

Heng Hua didn't go to get it, so Hengshou came forward to check.

Hengshou looked at the color and took another sip. "The heat is enough and it can be used. After you go back, you fast and bathe for three days, and then drink Longevity Wine."

Longevity Wine is the necessary medium for Spirit Brewer to break through the realm, analogous to Foundation Establishment Dan.

"Thank you sir."

The big man left the pot of wine and left happily.

For more than half an hour, Heng Hua was surrounded by various offerings.

He said to Fu Xuanxing and Yu Luan: "You two have never seen my family's mortal world, have you? This is part of my family's mortal world. Cloudsound City are mostly people with Qi Refining's cultivation level. They study the various arts of cultivation and are a group of people who enter the Tao through art."

Fu Xuanxing: "I can see it. These people are very weak in cultivation, but their proficiency in a certain skill seems..."

"Arrived on the edge of entering the Tao? This is the result of Yanlong's secularization. Compared with the great road and the way of heaven, we pay more attention to the technical way in front of us."

Brewing wine can lead to Daoism, painting can lead to Daoism, weaving can lead to Daoism...

"The way of heaven is elusive and unpredictable. Not everyone puts their lives into pursuing the natural way of heaven and earth. Many people here at Yanlong prefer to use their lifespan and life on more interesting things."

Heng Hua picked up the original chessboard from Old Man Zhang.

The white jade chessboard is warm and translucent, and when tapped lightly, it emits a crisp jade sound.

The two chess boxes are made of nanmu, with landscape patterns carved on the outer walls, and black and white sunspots of the same size are placed inside.

Yu Luan: "Are you really going to give the young master a chessboard?"

Do I still need to give this thing away? Don't I have it at home?

Heng Hua smiled slightly and dropped a chess piece on the chessboard.

The black man turned into a thumb-sized villain and punched a set of punches on the chessboard.

Yu Luan was suddenly shocked: "This--"

"Brother, your craftsmanship has become even more exquisite."

"You taught me well." The old man sat down opposite Heng Hua, grabbed a handful of chess pieces and laid them out.

Each white piece turns into a villain and forms an army on the chessboard, rehearsing various formations.

"In addition to human form, it can also transform into animal form, which may be more popular among girls."

The old man tapped lightly, and the white stones on the chessboard turned into white cats, making various postures to please the master. The black stones turned into black dogs, barking majestically on the chessboard.

Yu Luan looks novel.

"Is this also Dharma Treasure?"

Old man. "No, this set of chessboards has no combat capabilities, it's just a fancy gimmick."

"This is what I want, the more novel the better."

Heng Hua then picked a jade urn that could sing by itself.

Everlasting Spring Branch can keep flowers from wilting when placed in water, and the five colors will flow.

Ladies' Portrait who can change his own clothes.

Holding it in the palm of your hand, it is a jade plate that can transform into an object of beauty.

"The skills involved in these things are not difficult, they are just some clever methods. I will give you the techniques to use them, and you can bring them back to her later."

Yu Luan thanked Fu Henghua, Fu Henghua picked up the crown and hosta, and picked up two Spirit-Sound Bracelets.

"Wearing a crown of flowers can attract butterflies, and walking into flowers can make flowers bloom."

"The hosta is an ordinary hosta, but the workmanship is beautiful, so I gave it to her. These two Spirit-Sound Bracelets will sing songs automatically when placed in the water. There are twelve songs in it, and you can adjust them at will."

After thinking for a while, he pushed the jewelry box in front of Yu Luan.

"Mrs. Hong's jewelry is so exquisite and exquisite that those girls like it. You can also pick two pieces and charge them to my account."

"Me?" Yu Luan waved his hands repeatedly.

"How can I let you choose a gift for me?"

"The fairy has been tired from running around this time, so she should have congratulated her."

Under Heng Hua's persuasion, Yu Luan chose a hairpin and a round fan.

The round fan has its own fragrance, one side is used for cooling and the other side is used for warmth.

Fu Family The three sisters entered Heavenwind Island to meet the great elder and others.

After entering the hall, you can see Chang Yuezi on the guest seat.

Fu Yaozhen remained calm, and the two women behind him also showed clear expressions.

"Why are you alone?"

Chang Yuezi said in surprise, "Fu Henghua is not with you?"

"Why are you talking?" Fu Xiazhai scolded, "In terms of seniority, how can you call Heng Hua by his first name?"

"I was born into the world to practice Buddhism, and I broke away from the worldly bond. I only perform the courtesy of an elder to my immediate family. Fu Henghua and I are too far apart."

"So, you don't want to respect us aunts anymore?" Fu Tongjun said with a smile, "It's hard for me, an elder, to prepare a gift for you. It seems that you can only feed it to the dogs."

Feed the dog?

Chang Yuezi's eyes darkened. He recalled what he heard about what happened to Xu Yue when he went out.

"Don't worry, I'm not as troublesome as Fu Henghua. I beat someone and I won't help him recover."

She slowly walked out from behind Fu Yaozhen.

"Sister."

Fu Yaozhen called her and said coldly to Chang Yuezi: "The matter between Heng Hua and Jade Sage Pavilion has been settled. Since you have returned home from the Jade Sage Pavilion for a visit, you can rest assured to be filial to your elders at Heavenwind Island. As for Heng Hua, it's fine that you two are missing."

Chang Yuezi shook his head. "I came here this time on the order of the Jade Sage Pavilion, please Fu Henghua to go to the Jade Sage Pavilion. You can rest assured, for him, this is a good thing. If he can fall in the eyes of any elder, he might be able to become a disciple of a great sect. Isn't this better than wasting his time in Yanlong Years and Moons?"

"There is a way outside this world, and there is a way to live in this world."

Heng Hua takes Fu Xuanxing and Yu Luan to explore the city.

The life of mortals here is different from Mortal World of Golden Direction Water Region.

They are accustomed to all kinds of immortal artifacts, and most of the residents have a little bit of zhenqi in their bodies.

On both sides of the street, there are rows of big trees with lanterns hung on them.

When I walked in, I saw that those lanterns were not made by man, but fruits grown on trees. They store sunlight during the day and can emit light at night.

"This is Lantern Tree studied by the Cheng Family. Having this kind of tree is a great blessing to mortals."

With Lantern Tree, ordinary people don't need to go to bed early at night, they can play outside until late and then go home.

Yu Luan: "Do you really plan to popularize the art of cultivation to all mortals and create a nation of cultivation?"

Heng Hua shook his head. "How can there be any country of cultivation? What we do is just to make mortals live more comfortably and let them find the meaning of their lives, instead of just treating them as our vassals and seedbeds."

He took out a book and handed it to Yu Luan.

This book was written by a scholar with the pen name "Chen E".

The opening page reads:

What is a human being?

Mortals are human beings, Spiritfolk is human beings, and immortals are human beings too.

Thirteen Waters, Beyond-the-World Immortal Sect, cultivation Lineage, sea Loose Immortal, and all mortals are all Human Race.

Yu Luan Turn back, this is a book that explains and compares the life of mortals under the Beyond-the-World Immortal Sect and cultivation Lineage.

The author believes that the purpose of Transcendence by the worldly immortals is to allow themselves to "take a shortcut" and understand the way of heaven more directly and clearly.

Cultivation Lineage is devoted to secularization, in order to reach the ultimate level of skills from a technical point of view, and naturally resemble the Tao.

Recalling what he had just seen, Yu Luan nodded secretly.

But then, the book changed its subject and attacked two theories.

How difficult is it for one person to understand the way of heaven when there are so few people who are close to it?

There are many people with close skills, and there are three thousand six hundred skills. How can one exhaust all his power?

There are too few immortal cultivators born in the world, and it is inconvenient to communicate with each other. They practice their own practices, and without communication, how can they discuss the Tao.

There are too many cultivators who have joined the world, and they are obsessed with small tricks and losing themselves. But there are thousands of small ways, and it is impossible to exhaust them with human power, so how can we get a glimpse of the great road?

Seeing Yu Luan looking at the later ones, Heng Hua said, "You don't need to read those things in the back, just read the first chapter. Those things in the back are things written by the author Meng Lang, who is frivolous and frivolous."

"I look at it, and it seems a bit interesting. Mr. Chen thinks that the outside world is not good, and the cultivation Lineage is not good either. It should be more moderate."

"That's because the author had little knowledge at that time. You see, there is Celestial Profound Dao Platform in the world of immortality, and Netherworld Realm is about communication. How can it be done behind closed doors? Although the cultivator Lineage is immersed in technological research, trying to build a cultivation civilization. But there are also strong men like my grandfather. Who can say that he doesn't know the way? Chess Immortal and the Painting Immortal each have their own way of advancement, but which one is the small way? And those friends just now, although they are obsessed with skills, but who can say that they will not be able to become the way of heaven and realize the great way in the future?"

Heng Hua waved his hand, and two light spots floated into the air.

"The outer world is one pole, and the secular world is another pole.

"Cultivation Lineage builds the secular world, but still has the heart to follow the Tao. After successful cultivation, he travels to various major waters to gain experience and experience.

"Beyond-the-World Immortal Sect knows that we should not just seek the Tao. Before cultivating the Tao, we must first cultivate the human heart, so Zi Assembly, a disciple from various sects, joined Mortal World to practice.

"Cultivating oneself into a heartless and unrighteous stone will only make people laughable."

Creation True Essence With one stroke, an extra line appeared between the light spots, and then turned into a three-foot-long jade stick.

Heng Hua controlled the jade stick and performed a set of stick tricks.

Seeing the exquisite stick technique, Yu Luan asked curiously, "What kind of stick technique is this?"

"The stick method used to beat dogs."

Heng Hua With a finger of luck, Lord Jin escaped into the jade stick, flew into Heavenwind Island in a circle, and hit Chang Yuezi straight away.
