“Come, sit.”
Ao Qing pulled He Xiuyuan to a seat in the restaurant.
This Star-Picking Restaurant was truly extraordinary; the higher one went, the more expensive the tea service became.
This was what the waiter had said when he led them in earlier.
He Xiuyuan was pulled down to sit by Ao Qing.
As Ao Qing withdrew his hand, it inadvertently brushed against the brush tucked into He Xiuyuan’s waist.
After feeling the texture of the brush, Ao Qing’s eyes lingered on it for a moment.
Then, Ao Qing sat down in his seat.
“Brother He, your brush… it looks quite unusual, doesn’t it?”
Ao Qing squinted, looking at the brush on He Xiuyuan’s waist with a strange expression.
As a Dragon, he often performed Cloud Manipulation and Rain Invocation, so he had sensed something from that touch just now.
This He Xiuyuan had actually taken that thing down; was he not afraid of Heavenly Dao’s Punishment?
Looking at the quantity on this brush, He Xiuyuan had taken quite a bit; if such Heavenly Dao’s Punishment were to descend… even he couldn't withstand it!
Was this Brother He’s Dao cultivation actually so terrifying?
The last time he saw this Brother He, he hadn't seen him with this item in his hand; it must have been obtained recently.
No, perhaps this Brother He took this thing, and no Heavenly Dao’s Punishment descended, that's also possible.
After all, earlier, the Heavenly Dao had appeared for a moment, and had not punished him in any way.
Old Ao’s mind was filled with a myriad of thoughts at this moment, his heart continuously guessing.
He Xiuyuan, hearing this, looked at the brush on his waist, then smiled, “Old Ao has good eyesight!”
Seeing He Xiuyuan say this, Ao Qing hesitated for a moment but still asked.
“Brother He, have you suffered Heavenly Dao’s Punishment recently?”
He wanted to confirm whether He Xiuyuan had suffered Heavenly Dao’s Punishment for taking that thing as a brush.
However, He Xiuyuan, hearing this, thought of when he saved the immortal crane; at that time, he had indeed suffered Heavenly Dao’s Punishment, and his arm had sustained some injuries.
But by now, those injuries had healed.
Could it be that there were other hidden meanings within this Heavenly Dao’s Punishment?
He Xiuyuan’s heart tightened at this thought.
“Earlier, I did suffer Heavenly Dao’s Punishment, and my arm sustained some injuries, but they have already healed.”
“Old Ao, could it be that there’s some other hidden meaning in this Heavenly Dao’s Punishment, and my injuries aren’t truly healed?”
Ao Qing immediately felt exasperated upon hearing this, knowing that He Xiuyuan had misunderstood.
He wanted to confirm whether He Xiuyuan had truly suffered that Heavenly Dao’s Punishment and remained unharmed, to ascertain He Xiuyuan’s Dao cultivation level.
But He Xiuyuan, hearing his words, thought he had detected some lingering injury.
Given He Xiuyuan’s ability to withstand so much Heavenly Dao’s Punishment unharmed, how could he possibly detect anything?
Thinking this, he quickly shook his head, “No, it’s nothing of the sort; I was merely curious.”
He Xiuyuan felt relieved upon hearing this; he had thought that suffering that Heavenly Dao’s Punishment had some side effects he hadn’t noticed, but which the Old Ao in front of him had perceived.
However, this Old Ao was truly formidable; he even discerned that he had previously suffered lightning punishment.
He Xiuyuan couldn't help but feel a little amazed at this thought.
Old Ao, looking at He Xiuyuan at this moment, was also amazed in his heart, then quickly hailed the waiter in the distance; he wanted to order some good wine and dishes to chat with He Xiuyuan all night.
The waiter was summoned forward and immediately responded after hearing Old Ao’s order, noting down all the dishes Old Ao wanted.
By the time Old Ao finished ordering, there were already over twenty dishes.
“Remember, serve them slowly; don’t let the wine and dishes get cold after they’re brought out.”
After Old Ao finished ordering, he added another instruction.
The waiter quickly assented, then turned and went to the kitchen to place the order.
“Brother He, where do you Cultivate?”
Ao Qing thought for a moment and asked tentatively.
“I wander all over the place; I don’t have a specific Cultivation spot.”
Expert shook his head and said.
Ao Qing was startled upon hearing this; he hadn’t expected Expert to be a wanderer.
However, looking at Expert’s demeanor, it seemed plausible.
Thinking of a He Xiuyuan like him, a He Xiuyuan, being able to roam the four seas, was indeed very free and unfettered, unlike himself.
Thinking this, a hint of envy appeared in Old Ao’s eyes.
“Speaking of which, Old Ao, do you know of other Cultivators?”
If he could get some information about the Dao Sect from Old Ao, He Xiuyuan wouldn’t have to search so hard.
Old Ao looked at him with some surprise upon hearing He Xiuyuan’s words.
He wondered why He Xiuyuan would ask him this question, but he didn't think much of it and simply replied.
“I’m not clear about other Cultivators. From what I know, some Cultivators, like Brother He, wander the four seas.”
“However, most Cultivators, I imagine, are in those famous immortal mansions, which are quite mysterious.”
“Even I don’t know where those places are.”
“I hear that without predestined affinity, one cannot enter those famous immortal mansions.”
He Xiuyuan frowned upon hearing this, “Is that so?”
If that were the case, wouldn’t it mean it would be difficult for him to even go to Sanxian Island?
He Xiuyuan pondered this, feeling that Sanxian Island would likely be hard to reach.
“What’s wrong, Brother He, are you in some difficulty?”
Seeing He Xiuyuan frown, Old Ao immediately asked curiously.
He Xiuyuan thought for a moment, feeling there was nothing to hide, and immediately said.
“It’s shameful to say, but since I began to Cultivate, I have always Cultivated alone and have never met other Fellow Daoists, so I was hoping to meet some other Fellow Daoists.”
Cultivate alone?
Cultivate alone and reach this level?
If so, this Brother He in front of him would be too formidable.
Moreover, looking at He Xiuyuan’s demeanor, it must be an extraordinary Dao Legacy of Cultivation, right?
Old Ao was even more surprised at this thought.
“So that’s how it is.”
Old Ao pondered, trying hard to recall if he had heard of any immortal mountains, so he could provide He Xiuyuan with some useful information.
After much thought, Old Ao suddenly remembered something.
“Speaking of the Dao Sect, I seem to have some impression.”
“Brother He, have you heard of Biluo Temple?”
“Biluo Temple?”
He Xiuyuan’s eyes showed confusion upon hearing this, then he shook his head.
This was the first time he had heard this name.
“If we’re talking about the Dao Sect, then it must be inseparable from Biluo Temple. I heard that many years ago, Biluo Temple was known to everyone!”
“Even many demons wanted to seek some orthodox Dao Sect Cultivation methods in its immortal sect.”
“But later, Biluo Temple became hidden, and there was no news of it.”
Old Ao spoke of Biluo Temple with great animation, looking as if he had long admired its reputation.
He Xiuyuan’s heart rejoiced upon hearing this, “Then where is Biluo Temple, Old Ao, do you know?”
After so long, he had finally learned of a definite immortal sect’s whereabouts, so He Xiuyuan was naturally delighted.
After all, this Sanxian Island he was currently looking for, he still didn't know if it was real.
