The Complete Book of Immortals, Heroes, and Demons - Part 2

Episode 1: The Reincarnation of the Divine Dragon / Chapter 4: Learning Skills in the Barren Mountains

After dinner, Fairy Ziqiong said to Xin Xing, "I never expected Huo You to be so powerful. He even
knows you are the reincarnation of the Divine Dragon of the Trayastrimsa Heaven. What did his daughter say?"

Xin Xing recounted Huo Qianqian's words in detail. After listening, Fairy Ziqiong said, "What she said is absolutely
true. At that time, the Jade Emperor sent thirty-six heavenly generals to capture you and hand you over to the Goddess of the Nine Heavens for judgment. The Goddess, remembering your past
merits the Jade Emperor, could not bear to remove you from the celestial register. So she transformed you into a mortal body, placed you in a burial pouch, and
entrusted you to Laozi. She took you back to Laozi's Cave on Guangyang Mountain to raise you until you turned eighteen. Then she returned you to the Goddess of the Nine Heavens to teach you magic
arts and reincarnate you." "From the Three Rivers and Five Lakes, I will help the needy and the needy, eliminate evil and uphold justice, redeem myself through merit, and ascend back to the ranks of immortals."

Xin Xing said, "No wonder Master and my fellow disciples call me Dou'er; now I know why. Yes, since the
Goddess Xuan Nu treats me so well, will she come here?"

Zi Qiong Fairy shook her head slightly, "The Goddess has other duties and will not come here. I am the Goddess's disciple,
ordered to come here to teach you immortal arts. When you have mastered them, I will accompany you down the mountain until the Goddess issues an edict summoning me back to the palace."

Xin Xing said, "If the Goddess doesn't issue an edict summoning you back, won't you be forced to wander the mortal realm?"

Zi Qiong Fairy immediately fell silent. She herself hadn't thought about this question, and now that Xin Xing had brought it up, she didn't know how
to answer .

Xin Xing scratched his head and chuckled, "I'm so incredibly foolish! Fairy Sister has the ability to ascend to heaven and traverse the earth; since she's
here, she can naturally return. Why should she care whether she's summoned me or not?"

Fairy Ziqiong shook her head, "No, if Her Majesty hasn't issued a decree summoning me back, it means my mission
isn't complete, and I must remain in the mortal realm. Besides, there are heavenly rules, and Ziqiong would never dare to act on her own."

Seeing her furrowed brows, Xin Xing realized he had stirred up her worries and quickly said, "It's all my fault.
I spoke recklessly , making you unhappy, Sister."

Fairy Ziqiong smiled slightly, "I'm fine." Alright, now let me talk about immortal techniques first. Daoist techniques and
immortal techniques seem to originate from the same source, but their differences are considerable. The 'Dao' is the path humans take through long-term cultivation to attain,
ascend to the immortal realm, and join the ranks of immortals. The process of cultivation is extremely dangerous. There are eleven levels of cultivation, including Enlightenment
, Illumination, Fusion, Heartbeat, Spiritual Tranquility, Nascent Soul, Out-of-Body, Divide of Souls, Integration, Tribulation Crossing, and Great Ascension. Each
level has its own dangers; even the slightest mistake could result in the annihilation of one's soul. Especially the Tribulation Crossing stage; seven out
of ten will be reduced to ashes by the heavenly tribulation, unable even to preserve their Nascent Soul. Some... Knowing they couldn't overcome the Heavenly Tribulation,
they switched to cultivating as Loose Immortals or Demon Immortals.

Xin Xing asked, "Are Demon Immortals also considered immortals?"

Fairy Ziqiong shook her head, saying, "While Loose Immortals and Demon Immortals are both immortals, their strength is
far inferior to that of true immortals. After all, Loose Immortals are formed by undergoing tribulation in the Nascent Soul stage and have no physical form." She paused, then added, "
Once a cultivator attains immortality, they no longer need to draw talismans or write incantations, relying solely on the spiritual energy of the immortal realm. They can heal illnesses, exorcise beasts, and slay demons simply by reciting immortal incantations
. The Supreme Immortal's Precious Spiritual Method is inseparable from the Thirty-Six Heavenly Gang Techniques and the Seventy-Two Earthly Fiend Techniques. Even so,
those who can fully master these techniques are..." "Very few."

Xin Xing asked again, "Why is that? Is it because my power is insufficient to cultivate?"

Fairy Ziqiong replied, "No, it's because the ways of the world and people's hearts are unpredictable, even immortals are the same. If one obtains all the immortal arts but goes
astray , failing to follow the precepts of the Heavenly Venerable, cultivate the virtues of the Supreme Being, and use the magic of the Spiritual Treasure to save the world, but instead uses it to harm people, then
who can subdue him!"

Upon hearing this, Xin Xing nodded repeatedly, "I see. Of these one hundred and eight magic arts, how many do you know, sister
?"

Fairy Ziqiong gazed at him, a smile playing on her lips, and said, "Are you worried that my power is limited and insufficient to teach you
the immortal arts, hence this question?"

"No!" Xin Xing blushed and quickly said, "How dare I, Fairy Sister, please don't misunderstand. I
... I was just asking casually. You can stop now."

Seeing his embarrassed expression, Fairy Ziqiong couldn't help but chuckle inwardly. She said slowly, "I don't have much skill; I haven't even
learned half of it. Are you disappointed?"

Xin Xing said, "How could I? I don't even know a single skill. How could I dare say such a thing?"

Fairy Ziqiong said, "You're saying one thing and meaning another. Although you say that, you don't mean it."

Xin Xing's face turned even redder . Hong immediately denied it, but Fairy Ziqiong said, "Whether you're satisfied or not, it's fine. The Empress
has already instructed that she will only bestow five spells upon you."

Xin Xing, upon hearing this, was greatly dissatisfied and said, "Why is the Empress so stingy? Giving me a few more spells
wouldn't hurt."

Fairy Ziqiong said sternly, "You always speak without respect. Haven't the Empress already bestowed enough favors upon you? Not only
have she not you from having to cultivate again and endure the tribulations of heaven. Now she's even bestowing immortal arts upon you
. And you're still not satisfied?"

Xin Xing He lowered his head and said, "This is also true!"

Fairy Ziqiong continued, "The immortal arts I will now impart to you are five of the Thirty-Six Heavenly Gang Arts, including '
Resurrection,' 'Star Shift,' 'Flying and Manipulating,' 'Dragon Subduing and Tiger Taming,' and 'Mastering the Five Thunders,'
plus one more Yellow and Red Arts. These are all methods to save your life and escape danger."

Xin Xing asked, "Master once told me that the Yellow and Red Arts are the arts of the bedroom. Do I have to learn this too?"

Fairy Ziqiong nodded and said, "Because you have violated the precept against lust, having committed adultery with immortals... " "Twelve women, their crimes are notorious,
enraging the Jade Emperor, who must punish them severely. Now that you have mastered
your skills and descended the mountain, you will suffer thirty-six tribulations, twelve of which are tribulations of lust. To enhance your attractiveness to women, the Goddess requires you to improve not only your appearance but also your
sexual skills. Otherwise, how can women be infatuated with you, and how can you endure the torment of love and lust? Only when
you have completed the thirty-six tribulations and performed thirty-six good deeds can you return to Heaven."

Xin Xing stood there dumbfounded, speechless.

Fairy Zi Qiong said, "I will now teach you the art of 'resurrection.' This art can only save others,
not yourself. Heaven has a benevolent heart and compassion for all things. This method will be very useful for you to build good karma and atone
for your sins ." She then told him the incantation and explained it in detail.

Xin Xing already had a foundation in Taoism, and with his high comprehension, he had already made progress in less than three days. Seeing
his rapid learning, Fairy Ziqiong was secretly pleased and taught him "Shifting Stars and Changing Constellations" on the fourth day.

This technique doesn't actually move stars in the sky, nor does it change the constellations; rather, it allows
the exchange of internal organs between humans and animals for medical purposes. Combined with the art of resurrection, it is even more effective.

Because this technique involves medical principles, its difficulty is greatly increased. The slightest oversight can be extremely dangerous for the patient; even if they don't die, they will...
Becoming a beast in human form would be extremely dangerous. Although Xin Xing had memorized the technique, he still found it difficult to master.
Even with Zi Qiong Fairy's dedicated guidance, progress was astonishingly slow; a month passed with little improvement. During
this time, the rabbits and foxes suffered greatly, as Xin Xing subjected them to disembowelment and organ transplants, leaving
them barely alive. Fortunately, Zi Qiong Fairy's magic was superb, and she healed each of the young animals, releasing them back into the wild.

Five more months passed in the blink of an eye. Xin Xing, diligent and persistent in his studies, finally achieved some success, able to
swap the internal organs of cats and dogs, and the animals would survive without any abnormalities.

One day, as Xin Xing was treating an injured parrot, he suddenly heard footsteps. Looking in the direction of the sound, he saw
Zi Qiong Fairy carrying a person in her hands. Xin Xing immediately put down his work and rushed forward to take the person
, who turned out to be an old woman with her eyes closed, barely breathing.

Xin Xing placed the old woman on the stone bed and asked, "Zi Qiong, who is this old lady?" In the past few months, Xin
Xing and Fairy Zi Qiong were no longer as strangers as when they first met. They had gotten used to addressing each other by name. Fairy Zi Qiong's cold
face had also changed slightly. When the two talked about happy things, they would occasionally cover their mouths and chuckle.

Ziqiong said, "I see that you have made some progress in the method of shifting stars and changing constellations, but you haven't found a true master to test it on. Just now
, on a whim, I calculated with my fingers and learned that there is a woman at the foot of the mountain who has been suffering from a long-term illness. If she can't find a famous doctor, she
may not be able to recover. So I immediately rode down the mountain on a cloud, brought this woman up the mountain, and told her family that I would definitely
cure her and then return her to them."

Xin Xing heard this and hesitated when he looked at the old woman. He said, "This old woman is a true master after all, unlike those monkeys,
rabbits, rats, and birds. Human life is at stake. I'm afraid my skills are not enough and I might harm her!"

Ziqiong said, "You have to pass this test sooner or later. Now that I'm here to watch, what are you afraid of?
Just try it boldly. If you really make a mistake, I won't stand idly by."

Xin Xing straightened his chest and said resolutely, "Alright, I'm tired of facing those beasts and birds all day long."
As he spoke, he bent down and, according to the pulse-taking method taught by Ziqiong, examined the changes in the pulse. After a short while, he straightened up and said,
"In my opinion, this old woman is having difficulty breathing and has a swollen liver, which are likely symptoms of heart failure."

Ziqiong nodded in satisfaction: "That's right. How do you plan to treat her?"

Xinxing said, "Medicinal herbs probably won't truly solve the root cause. It would be better to replace her heart. I
think that's the best method."

Ziqiong said, "Since you've made your decision, do as you wish."

Seeing that Ziqiong didn't object, Xinxing knew he was right and said, "Now I'll go out and find a wolf.
Ziqiong, please take care of her for me."

Ziqiong nodded in agreement. Xinxing dashed out of the cave. In less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, he was seen carrying
a wolf on his back. The wolf's body hung limply, clearly having been knocked unconscious by Xinxing.

Xinxing lit a fire against the wall and then burned poison into an exceptionally sharp dagger in the fire.
Ziqiong stood silently to the side, offering no assistance. Xinxing finished everything, first using magic to knock the old woman
unconscious, then placing the wolf beside her. He began to cut open the wolf's chest and abdomen, then used
the Star-Shifting Technique to seal the wolf's blood flow. He repeated

this process on the old woman, finally cutting out the wolf's heart. Ziqiong
watched , offering no instruction. After the heart exchange was complete, Xinxing again used the Star-Shifting Technique to
reconnect the heart's blood vessels to the main vein, finally stitching up the old woman's wound. With a single incantation, the knife marks on the wound completely disappeared,
leaving no scar.

Everything was done, and Xin Xing was covered in sweat. Zi Qiong took out a handkerchief to wipe it away for him, saying, "You did a great job,
but you forgot the last step."

Xin Xing immediately understood and quickly took the old woman's pulse again. Seeing her nod slightly, he stood up and
smiled, "No problem, her pulse is perfectly normal. I think she can live another twenty years."

Zi Qiong smiled slightly, "Although your magic is not yet pure and you are a bit stiff, this old woman's continued
survival is indeed a blessing from you."

Xin Xing scratched his head and laughed, "This is not thanks to you. Without you teaching me this method, how could I have saved her?
But I am really excited. It's so good to be able to help people. This is the first time I've felt this way. Ah! My stomach is rumbling again
. I have to make dinner right away."

Zi Qiong said, "Leave today to me. You must be tired after a long day.

" Xin Xing quickly waved his hand and said, "I'm not tired, let me do it."

Zi Qiong's pretty face darkened, and she feigned anger, saying, "You said you'd do whatever I wanted, have you forgotten? You
sit , or I'll teach you a lesson."

Xin Xing naturally knew she was showing him affection, and said with a grin, "I know you won't, just use your magic to subdue me
." After saying that, he did several somersaults in the air, shouting loudly, "I'm so happy today, so joyful!"

Zi Qiong looked up at him, couldn't help but smile slightly, and walked towards the stove, saying as she walked, "You only healed
one person, are you this happy?"

Xin Xing said, "Saving people is naturally joyful, but what makes me even happier is knowing that you pamper and cherish me, that's
more joyful than anything else."

Zi Qiong said, "Who pampers and cherishes you, nonsense."

Xin Xing chuckled without answering, but he knew perfectly well what was going on. After dinner, Ziqiong said she would take the old woman home, but Xinxing said,
"I'll go with you." Without waiting for Ziqiong's reply, he quickly scooped the old woman up in his arms. Ziqiong didn't need to ask him; she
understood his intention, knowing he didn't want her to be tired. So she said nothing more,
silently chanting a spell to heal the wolf. Then, with a wave of her hand, she sent the wolf flying out of its den. The moment the wolf touched the ground, it immediately woke up, howled,
and disappeared without a trace.

The next day, Ziqiong began to teach him the "Flying Body and Leaping Trail" technique. This technique was quite similar to the leaping technique Xinxing had learned,
but the difference was that there were additional incantations to control the mind, eliminate distracting thoughts, and immediately concentrate the will on the spell
. Of course, the strength of the spell varied depending on the level of cultivation. For example, Ziqiong's cultivation was far superior to Xinxing's. Once
she used the spell to fly, she was truly as fast as lightning, disappearing in an instant. However, Xin Xing was different. His speed was naturally far inferior to Zi Qiong's,
and he frequently fell from trees during his leaps.

"Tuoji" means concealment, allowing one to hide their body on objects and even pass through walls. Xin Xing's
cultivation was still shallow; although he had the techniques and a good teacher, it would still take him more than a month to master them.

Then there were the "Subduing Dragons and Tigers" and "Mastering the Five Thunders" techniques, which were similar to "Flying and Trace-Holding."
The strength of each technique is determined by one's cultivation level, especially the "Mastery of the Five Thunders," which comprises
five different palm techniques: Golden Light, Wood Thunder, Water Arrow, Fire Flame, and Earth Wind. Each technique possesses the power to move mountains and stir up seas. When Xin Xing first learned these techniques, he used the Golden Light
Palm to strike a rock, but it didn't budge. However, Zi Qiong struck
out in two as easily as cutting tofu. Xin Xing was speechless with admiration.

It took Xin Xing a full six months to see any progress in these two techniques.

One evening, Ziqiong said to Xinxing, "Dou'er, this past year I have taught you all five spells.
You have indeed made some progress, but due to your cultivation level, you have not yet reached the pinnacle. However, nothing can be achieved overnight
. With continued practice, you will eventually achieve great success. With your current abilities, you
are more than capable of dealing with ordinary people, but I'm afraid you won't be able to handle demons like Tianmo Luo. It seems we will have to
stay here for a while longer before we can go down the mountain."

Xinxing smiled and said, "It's very nice to stay here. The scenery is beautiful, and no one will disturb us.
I could stay here for a lifetime without any problem, as long as you are with me."

Ziqiong said, "If Her Majesty suddenly summons me back to the palace, you must listen to me and absolutely cannot go down the mountain immediately.
Can you promise me that?"

Xinxing was moved by her soft pleading and then smiled and said, "Have you forgotten? There is still one more spell, the Yellow-Red
Technique, that you haven't taught me yet. " "Why would the Empress summon you back? Is the Yellow-Red Technique difficult to learn?"

Zi Qiong said calmly, "It's not difficult, but it's not easy either; it depends on the person. But in my opinion, you'll master this
skill quickly."

Xin Xing was puzzled and asked, "Why?"

Zi Qiong glared at him and said, "Haven't you forgotten what you did when you were banished to the mortal realm?"

Xin Xing froze, his face turning red. "This...this..."

Zi Qiong composed herself and said, "You don't need to use 'this' or 'that.' Let me make this clear to you first: to learn the Yellow-Red Technique,
we'll inevitably be naked together. But I'm only doing this to teach; I have absolutely no wicked intentions. Don't
misunderstand or have any wild thoughts, understand?"

Xin Xing nodded and said, "I understand. If you're worried about that, I won't learn it."

Zi Qiong's expression was indifferent as she said, "I dare not disobey the Empress's decree. The most important thing is that you understand clearly."

Xin Xing could only nod silently.

The next day, Xin Xing woke up to find Zi Qiong gone, but he wasn't surprised. He had spent a year with her and
was used to her early rising.

Xin Xing stepped out of the cave and saw a sky ablaze with the colors of dawn. The morning breeze carried the
fragrance

of flowers, refreshing him. As always, Xin Xing would sit cross-legged every morning after waking up, performing his morning prayers before beginning his martial arts practice. It was late spring, and the earth was vibrant with life, flowers blooming everywhere, bees and butterflies flitting about, a scene of captivating beauty. Xin Xing
used his "Flying Body Leaping Tracks" technique, weaving through the clusters of flowers, sometimes leaping up trees, hovering and circling, sometimes
scaling mountains and ridges, leaping over cliffs and squeezing through crevices, his movements as swift as lightning, agile as a god.

North of Huayu Mountain lay the Lantou River, a narrow, winding river.
Lush green cypresses grew on the cliffs on both banks, their reflections shimmering in the water, creating a breathtakingly beautiful scene.

Suddenly, a figure flashed across the stream like a shooting star, flying upstream towards a clear pool.

This pool was called White Dragon Pool, surrounded by lush vegetation and shimmering water. Besides White Dragon Pool, Flower Rain Mountain also
has Black Dragon Pool, located downstream. Legend has it that in Nine Dragon Mountain, two dragons, one black and one white, were born from their mother. One day, the dragon
mother, carrying her two sons amidst lightning, thunder, and torrential rain, circled Flower Rain Mountain several times before placing her two sons
in two separate pools, hence the names.

In this pool reflecting the peaks and water, a sudden ripple appeared, and with a splash, a person
emerged from the water. Upon closer inspection, it was a stunningly beautiful woman—none other than the Fairy Ziqiong.

Her long hair cascaded over her shoulders, falling into the clear pool, revealing her smooth, fair shoulders and
snow-white . Truly, she possessed a celestial beauty, without a doubt.

Suddenly, Ziqiong slowly turned around and said softly, "Dou'er, what are you doing hiding in the grass? If you want to see,
you should be open about it."

Xin Xing had no choice but to stand up, thinking, "She's really something. She spotted
me the moment I surfaced. No wonder she's a goddess; nothing can be hidden from her." He blushed and said, "I... I was just
passing by while practicing my skills. I didn't mean to peek."

Ziqiong glared at him: "Whether it was intentional or not, you know best in your heart."

Xin Xing was about to deny it when Ziqiong spoke first: "In the past year, you've peeked a total of seventy-
three times. Were all seventy-three of those coincidences?" Upon hearing this, Xin

Xing felt a sharp pain in his chest, realizing he was in trouble. He was speechless, a suspicion creeping into his mind.
Since she knew he had been peeping, why hadn't she said anything before, letting him see everything clearly? But today, she suddenly started peeping again
. What could be the reason?

Zi Qiong raised her jade-like hand, her slender fingers gently brushing aside her hair, her graceful demeanor captivating Xin Xing. He watched her intently, mesmerized.

Then he saw Zi Qiong moving towards him, about to step out of the pool.

Xin Xing, startled, quickly turned away, saying, "Dou'er, go back first."

Zi Qiong gazed at his retreating figure, a smile playing on her lips, and slowly said, "Wait a while, I'll go back with you." She
slowly rose from the water, her flawless body fully revealed in the morning light. Her skin was as white as snow,
her breasts full and firm, easily grasped in one hand, her waist slender as a willow, her pubic hair cascading down, highlighting her long, graceful legs.
She was utterly flawless, a sight to behold.

Rippling water, Ziqiong stepped onto the surface, slowly making her way to the edge of the pool. She bent down to pick up her clothes from the ground, elegantly
putting , her still-wet hair flowing freely.

At that moment, Xinxing, hearing the rustling of her clothes behind him, remained calm and composed. Suddenly, Ziqiong
's voice rang in his ears: "Still daydreaming? Let's go."

Xinxing hummed in agreement, his eyes avoiding hers, silently walking alongside Ziqiong.

Ziqiong softly asked, "Judging from your dazed look, your mind must be in turmoil, right?"

Xin Xing didn't know how to answer her, so he remained silent. Zi Qiong said, "

You must be wondering how I know."

Xin Xing shook his head and said, "You are a fairy, of course you know everything."

Zi Qiong smiled gently: "If that's the case, why didn't you think of this when you were peeping at me?" Xin Xing was speechless.
Zi Qiong continued, "The first time you peeked at me bathing was about half a year ago. I never said anything.
Do you know why?"

Xin Xing shook his head. Zi Qiong said, "Didn't I say last night that if we were to practice the Yellow and Red Arts, you
would eventually have to see my body? Since that's the case, I didn't scold you. But I didn't expect you, you
little devil to become so addicted, sneaking here to peek every now and then. The Goddess Xuan Nu is right, your
character isn't bad, it's just that you can't change this aspect. Alas! It's easier to change mountains and rivers than to change one's nature. It seems you're beyond saving
!"

Xin Xing said, "Food and sex are the greatest desires of man. Otherwise, Goddess Xuan Nu... " "And I will not discuss or advocate this art."

Ziqiong nodded and said, "The so-called 'Yellow Emperor and Laozi's Red Seal script is for cultivating longevity. The Yin-Yang philosophy is
a method of self-cultivation and health preservation. The main purpose of the art of the bedroom is to obtain pleasure through sexual intercourse between men and women, to promote prenatal education and eugenics, and to achieve the effect of prolonging life."

Xinxing said, "I have heard my master talk about this before, but my master has never taught me."

Ziqiong said, "The main purpose of sexual health preservation is to have intercourse without ejaculation, to have intercourse with minimal ejaculation, to maintain the spirit, and to harmonize Yin and Yang to
preserve life. This method is not about pursuing licentiousness or seeking pleasure." " It's not that I'm trying to strengthen my body by indulging in women; my intention is primarily to
nourish and cure my illness. Last night I already told you that our union wasn't out of lust, and that's the reason."

Xin Xing said, "Union? So you mean you'll be with me..."

Zi Qiong nodded: "If not, how would I know your progress in your studies? Do you expect me to go down the mountain and find
a woman ?"

Xin Xing was overjoyed, but dared not show it, lest she scold him. He asked, "When you...when you were learning this art,
did you...did you..."

Zi Qiong, upon hearing this, naturally knew what he wanted to say. "What are you saying?" she said coldly. "The Empress taught me this technique entirely through oral
instruction from ancient texts. This technique is traditionally a male-dominated, female-subject system, with the man as the main ingredient and the woman as the catalyst."

Xin Xing's face immediately lit up with joy. "So, you...you've never been with a man..."

Zi Qiong shook her head. "No! Luckily, I didn't encounter you, you lecherous dragon, in the Heavenly Palace back then, otherwise..."

Xin Xing laughed. "Otherwise, it would be hard to guarantee that you would become my victim, wouldn't it?"

Zi Qiong said, "It's good that you know."

As the two talked, they had already returned to the entrance of the stone cave.

Episode 1, Part 4 (Completed

) Episode 1: Reincarnation of the Divine Dragon / Part 5: The Yellow and Red Techniques

The two entered the stone cave. Zi Qiong pointed to the stone bed and said, "Sit down."

Xin Xing sat down as instructed. Zi Qiong continued, "From today onwards, we will begin to practice the Yellow and Red Techniques together
. Why do I say 'practice together'? It's because when the Goddess Xuan Nu taught me this technique, it was all oral instruction and personal transmission,
unlike other immortal arts and divination, which are tangible and traceable, and whose good or bad is immediately apparent." Xin Xing listened attentively.

Ziqiong continued, "Let me first give you a brief explanation. The Yellow and Red Arts emphasize health preservation and nourishment,
harmony between men and women, and the goal of prolonging life. With proper care, even in old age, one can maintain youthful
vitality. Health preservation and nourishment are especially important for men, so you must learn and apply them well, and not disappoint the Goddess Xuan Nu
's good intentions."

Xin Xing nodded, and Ziqiong continued, "I'll first talk about some foods that enhance male virility and nourish the body. These foods
don't necessarily refer to expensive and rare items; simply eating more of things like scallions, garlic, walnuts, sunflower seeds, and peanuts
is also very effective. Let me give you an example..." In the palace lived a fairy named Cai Nu, who possessed an exceptional understanding
of the art of the bedroom, was incredibly intelligent, able to comprehend ten things from a single hearing, and was also extremely beautiful. King Mu of the Western Zhou Dynasty, having heard of Cai Nu
, desired to have her teach him the secrets of the bedroom. Cai Nu, upon learning this, descended to the mortal realm and personally instructed
King Mu , who found it effective.

Xin Xing asked with a smile, "This time, will we be like them, with me as King Mu and you as Cai Nu, right?"

Seeing his excited expression, Zi Qiong sighed, "You get all excited when it comes to such things."

Xin Xing thought to himself, "That's understandable. Seeing such a beautiful woman like you every day, how could I not be moved? Would I even be
a man?"

Ziqiong continued, "From then on, the concubine settled in the palace, sharing
nights . One day, during their intimate moment, the concubine removed the dried jujube that had been inserted into her vagina beforehand and urged
King Mu to eat it immediately, saying that the jujube was a tonic for nourishing life and strengthening virility."

Xinxing's eyes widened as he listened, and he said, "If such a thing is true, how strange! Would you also
do what she did and put some walnuts or peanuts in for me to taste? It seems the taste must be quite good!"

Ziqiong smiled and said, "If you like to eat it, I don't mind." She added, "Because jujubes have extremely high
medicinal value , internally..." It's very helpful for symptoms like weakness, aging prevention, and diuresis, especially in calming the mind.
If combined with the essence of a woman's yin, the effect is even greater.

Xin Xing was incredibly excited, grinning and exclaiming, "I must try this! But eating only one walnut isn't
enough ! I love walnuts the most. Tomorrow I'll go down the mountain and buy a few pounds, and have a bowl or two every day to nourish myself.
It'll be wonderful!"

Zi Qiong knew he was joking, but still glared at him, her pretty face stern, and said, "What do you take my place for?
Your storage room?" The two looked at each other, then suddenly burst out laughing simultaneously!

Ziqiong tried to suppress her smile and continued, "The essence of the Yellow and Red Technique is to emphasize natural health preservation. Besides consuming more nourishing foods
, remember not to use aphrodisiacs or similar substances indiscriminately. These will only deplete the body's strength. Constantly relying on aphrodisiacs to enhance physical strength
is like drinking poison to quench thirst, which is highly inadvisable. Furthermore, even if you consume many nourishing foods and supplements, if you don't cherish your body,
indulge in excessive sexual activity all day long, and don't understand the principles of intercourse or the balance of Yin and Yang, then even taking more
supplements will be of no use."

Xinxing said, "It seems there's quite a lot to learn about the principles of intercourse!"

Ziqiong nodded and said, "Of course there is, otherwise the Goddess Xuan Nu wouldn't have deduced this method. The intercourse between men and women is
an innate instinct, but the goal is always to prevent the man from gradually weakening and the woman from suffering from various illnesses. If one can..." " Understanding
the principles of Yin and Yang has been very beneficial,"

Xin Xing said. "I've seen these principles in my master's books, but some terms I don't understand,
such as 'the Way of Play,' 'the Three Arrivals of a Man,' and 'the Signs of the Five Desires,' left me completely
bewildered !"

Zi Qiong said, "Let me explain these to you slowly. First, let me talk about what a man and woman should
pay attention . The Goddess Xuan Nu once told me that the most common mistake men make is that upon seeing a beautiful woman,
they rush into intercourse without proper preparation. This is extremely dangerous and harmful to the body."

Xin Xing said, "That's hard to say. When a man sees a woman he likes, especially on the battlefield,
how could he not be impatient and restless?"

Ziqiong said seriously, "Actually, the preparation is quite simple. The main thing is to create an atmosphere and do plenty of foreplay,
such as kissing and caressing each other, or even licking each other's genitals to arouse desire before intercourse. If
the woman's clitoris is not open, remaining a hard bud, even if intercourse is forced, neither party will get any pleasure. This
is the most basic principle of the Huangchi technique, and you must remember it well."

Xinxing said, "I understand. You've said so much. Can we practice now?"

Ziqiong suddenly froze, her cold eyes fixed on him, and said, "Are you truly listening to my teachings,
or do you want to do it?" Xinxing quickly stretched out his hand... Sticking out her tongue, Ziqiong continued, "You want to practice? It's too early
. Don't daydream until you've mastered the method of guiding qi."

Xinxing hurriedly asked, "What method of guiding qi? My second senior brother has already taught me the 'Yin-Yang Harmony Qi Mantra.' Just reciting the mantra
makes my manhood instantly vigorous, lasting three hours without ejaculation or softening—it's truly amazing!"

Ziqiong shook her head, "The method of guiding qi is a technique for controlling and circulating qi, different from incantations. Actually, Taoism also has
this kind of health cultivation technique, and the difference isn't significant. It's just that you're still young, so the Taoist Master didn't pass it on to you. Your second senior brother taught you this mantra before
, but due to circumstances, he hastily gave it to you. And it is indeed the quickest and most effective..." " Only
a quick fix can prevent that demoness from succeeding."

Xin Xing nodded and said, "I see!" Zi Qiong continued, "Using the 'Yin-Yang Harmony Mantra' to strengthen the essence
is incredibly effective, but it's not a long-term, reliable method, and it's difficult to achieve
the effects of 'stabilizing the qi,' 'calming the mind,' and 'harmonizing the will.' The method of the Mysterious Maiden is a kind of qigong that subdues the mind, allowing one to control
desires ."

Xin Xing said dejectedly, "I've already memorized that mantra perfectly. Forgetting it now would be
difficult What should I do?"

Zi Qiong smiled and said, "The 'Yin-Yang Harmony Mantra' won't harm you. I didn't tell you to forget it. You can
keep it to deal with... " "That demoness."

Xin Xing recalled the events of that day at the Heavenly Demon Palace, feeling smug. He exclaimed happily, "That's right, that's right! That demoness
is no good. She's afraid of nothing except my dragon-headed spear!"

Zi Qiong said, "As long as you master this Qi-guiding method, when you're intimate with a woman, if you combine it with the nine shallow and one deep,
eight shallow and two deep methods, you can regulate your desires. This will not only delay ejaculation but also allow you to control your ejaculation freely.

Now I will teach you this Qi-guiding method. When you reach a certain level of cultivation, we can practice together."

Upon hearing this, Xin Xing was immediately disappointed. The thought of not knowing when he would be able to master this Qi-guiding method made
his mood plummet.

Zi Qiong then passed on the incantation to Xin Xing, instructing him to practice on his own.

From then on, besides practicing the five immortal arts during the day, Xin Xing would meditate and guide his qi every night.
Half a month passed in the blink of an eye. Zi Qiong asked, "How has your qi-guiding technique progressed in the past two weeks?"

Xin Xing replied, "I've followed your instructions every day. Each time I guide my qi, I feel refreshed and full of energy, my mind is clear, and
my whole body is exceptionally peaceful. But I don't know how effective it is!"

Zi Qiong said, "Now sit cross-legged, gather your qi in your dantian, collect your spirit, and strive for calmness."

Xin Xing did as instructed, closing his eyes and sitting cross-legged on the stone bed. Zi Qiong sat down beside him and whispered, "No matter
what I do to you, just guard your mind, control your desires, and don't let your penis become erect." Xin
Xing nodded.

After speaking, Ziqiong reached down to his crotch and gently took his penis in her hand. She felt it was soft yet
substantial, and her heart fluttered slightly. She quickly composed herself and began to gently stroke it through his trousers, whispering,
"Dou'er, remember my words, control your desire."

As she touched his penis, a surge of pleasure washed over him. He immediately closed his eyes, gathered his energy in his dantian,
held , and focused his mind, instantly suppressing his lust.

Ziqiong stroked it for a while, then suddenly tightened her grip, pulling and tugging at his penis, gently rubbing and kneading it. Her
bright eyes were fixed on Xin Xing's face, watching his changing expressions, and she again instructed,
"Remember to hold your breath and concentrate, with no worries in your mind, no sights, and no sounds." Xin Xing remembered her instructions and did as she said.

Yaochi, located beyond the Thirteen Heavens, is the sacred realm where the Queen Mother of the West resides. To its left lies Yaochi, and to its right, emerald waters
flow, everywhere blooming with celestial flowers, auspicious spirit mushrooms abound, and celestial birds and beasts are ubiquitous. Except for the Queen Mother's birthday celebrations, no
outsider is allowed to enter Yaochi without the Heavenly Mother's permission.

Ziqiong lives alone in Yaochi, spending her days with other fairies, never leaving the realm and rarely
interacting . Over time, she developed a cold and aloof nature. Coupled with the celestial arts she practiced,
which primarily focused on suppressing desires and emotions, she cultivated a state of being devoid of joy or sorrow.

When she first met Xinxing, her nature remained unchanged; it was only after they spent considerable time together that her coldness began
to change, and she became more talkative.

Even so, Ziqiong's cultivation was not shallow. With a little composure, her mind immediately cleared.
Although holding the man's penis, it felt to her like holding a withered branch; her mind was solely focused on imparting knowledge, devoid of
any lewd intent. Far from feeling ashamed, Ziqiong generously said to Xinxing, "Alright, you can
relax now and see if you can get your penis hard." As soon as she finished speaking, she released the penis, giving him his
freedom .

Upon hearing this, Xinxing immediately channeled his inner energy, a surge of heat rising from his perineum, rushing towards the penis. His penis indeed
stood erect, straight as iron, straining his crotch considerably.

Ziqiong, observing his imposing presence, was secretly astonished. She thought to herself that a man's member could be so
unpredictable; just moments ago it had been soft and weak, and now it was like this. A surge of curiosity stirred within her
, and she grasped it with her jade-like fingers, finding it much thicker and stronger than before, so much so that even her fingers couldn't hold it. It was truly
astonishing! Ziqiong composed herself slightly and said, "It seems it can now control its size, but whether its endurance
will last remains to be seen."

Xinxing asked, "How will you test it?"

Ziqiong didn't answer, but moved her jade-like fingers to his waistband and loosened it. Xinxing's eyes suddenly lit up
with a mixture of surprise and delight. Ziqiong removed her outer trousers and placed them aside.

Xinxing could no longer contain himself and hurriedly pulled off his underwear, revealing a massive, over half-foot-long member
standing before Ziqiong's eyes.

Seeing a man's possession for the first time, Ziqiong couldn't help but feel dizzy, her cheeks flushed, and her heart pounding.

Xinxing, seeing her face veiled in crimson gauze, slightly shy, which only enhanced her beauty, became even more captivating. He gazed at her with increasing infatuation and asked aloud:
"Shall we begin our cultivation now?"

Ziqiong raised her head slightly, looking directly at him. "You've asked this question three times in the past few days. Your
diligent practice of the Qi-guiding method these past few days—it goes without saying, you've been waiting for this day, haven't you?"

Xinxing chuckled awkwardly. "I...if I said no, would you believe me?"

Ziqiong said, "You're quite honest. If you're not being honest, you'll suffer the consequences." She paused, then continued
, "The Goddess Xuan Nu once admonished me, saying that we, as humans and immortals, are on different paths, and we must be extremely cautious, especially regarding our romantic relationships
. That's why I've repeatedly brought this up with you. If we disobey even slightly, not only
will we be punished by the Goddess Xuan Nu, but even the Queen Mother of the West won't let us off the hook. You must remember this well."

Xinxing nodded helplessly, feeling deeply uneasy.

Ziqiong patted the stone bed beside her and said, "Please sit down." Xinxing sat down beside her as instructed, and
she said, "There are nine techniques for achieving health and longevity in sexual intercourse, known as the Nine Forms of the Mysterious Woman. The first is called Dragon
Turn, the second Tiger Step, the third Monkey Wrestle, the fourth Cicada Cling, the fifth Turtle Leap, the sixth Phoenix Soar, the seventh Rabbit Sucking Its Hair, the eighth
Fish Connecting Scales, and the ninth Crane Intertwining Necks..." She then explained the nine positions to him in detail. Starting with the first form, Dragon Turn,
she went all the way to the ninth form, Crane Intertwining Necks, explaining each one in great detail and with perfect clarity.

Although there are nine moves, they are not complicated or difficult to remember. Xin Xing listened to them once and was able to memorize them silently. Zi Qiong
asked , "Have you memorized them all?"

Xin Xing nodded and said, "Yes! If there are any parts I forget, you must remind me."

Zi Qiong said, "Let's start with the first move, 'Dragon Turns Over.' From the moment we officially unite, we must
change to a different move every 15 minutes. The nine moves will take more than two hours in total. I will set two hours as the target. Only if you can
maintain your form without losing energy during this time and complete all nine moves in one go can you be considered qualified."

Xin Xing asked, "What if I can't do it?"

Zi Qiong said, "That goes without saying. Of course, you must continue to practice until you succeed."

Upon hearing this, Xin Xing's eyes immediately lit up. Having spent over a year with him, Ziqiong knew Xinxing's
mischievous nature intimately. She asked, "What mischief are you up to now?" Xinxing quickly denied it with a fawning smile, but inwardly he
thought, "If I always pretend to fail, I can keep practicing with her forever. Such a delightful thing, of course, I can't
tell you."

In truth, Ziqiong possessed profound magical power; she could discern people's thoughts using her magic. However, she was always frank
and upright , and although she had this power, she wouldn't use it carelessly. But she was clever and astute; seeing Xinxing's expression,
she knew he must be up to something. Seeing that he wouldn't speak, she didn't press him further, saying, "Let's begin now."

Xinxing was, after all, a young man full of vigor. Ever since he secretly watched Ziqiong bathe, her flawless
body had been deeply etched into his mind, a memory he constantly pondered, even in his dreams
.

Upon hearing Ziqiong's words, for some reason, seeing this elegant and beautiful fairy from his dreams, a
feeling of untouchability suddenly arose in Xinxing's heart, causing him to hesitate.

Ziqiong, seeing his prolonged inaction, was also slightly puzzled and couldn't understand why, so she asked, "
What are you still standing there for? Didn't you hear what I said?"

Her words jolted Xinxing awake. He looked at Ziqiong and whispered, "I...I'm coming!" He slowly placed
his hand on her fragrant shoulder from behind, gently embracing Ziqiong's soft body. A sweet fragrance emanating from her body
immediately filled his nostrils, making him intoxicated and unable to control himself.

Ziqiong slowly turned around, her hands encircling Xinxing's waist. Her full breasts pressed firmly against his
chest. She tilted her head back, her breath sweet as orchids, and said, "Remember, never rush things. You must first arouse the woman before you can
make love, understand?"

Xinxing stared blankly at the fairy before him, nodded, and hugged Ziqiong tightly, feeling her soft, fragrant warmth—
an indescribable pleasure! Ziqiong's starry eyes were like silk, her lips slightly parted. Such unparalleled beauty was truly captivating, enough
to topple cities and kingdoms with a single glance. Xinxing couldn't help but exclaim in his heart, "So beautiful, so incredibly beautiful!"

Xinxing was momentarily mesmerized. After regaining his composure, he lowered his head, and their lips finally met.
Ziqiong slowly closed her eyes, her lips parted, and an alluring tongue plunged into her mouth.

Ziqiong trembled slightly, her heartstrings pounding. A powerful masculine energy surged through her,
leaving her momentarily blank, bewildered and unsure how to respond.

Despite this, Ziqiong remembered the instructions of the Goddess Xuan Nu: once she made
love to Xin Xing, she must not suppress her desires, but let them flow naturally.

With this in mind, Ziqiong no longer held back, her passion fully unleashed.

Xin Xing kissed her fragrant lips, his mouth filled with sweetness. Ziqiong's taste was indeed incredibly sweet, captivating him.
His tongue explored and prowled in her mouth, and under his intense temptation, Ziqiong slowly began to understand,
gradually learning how to respond. Their tongues intertwined, kissing until they were dizzy and dazed.

Before long, their breathing became heavy and labored. Xin Xing finally couldn't resist any longer. He held
Zi Qiong , while the other rested on her breast, his fingers cupping it and kneading it slightly
. He immediately felt its fullness and roundness, and couldn't help but exclaim inwardly in delight. It turned out that Zi Qiong was only wearing an outer garment; underneath, she was completely naked, and even her slightly hardened
nipples were clearly visible.

"Mmm!" This was the first time Zi Qiong had allowed a man to hold her breasts, and her heart was already pounding wildly.
Especially with his palm pressing and caressing her nipples, her heart felt like it was about to leap out of her mouth. This indescribable
feeling almost made her faint.

The pleasure Xin Xing gave her was like a raging storm, relentlessly surging and crashing over her.

Zi Qiong finally tasted the sweetness of carnal desire; it was so intoxicating! Xin Xing's unrestrained caresses made her unconsciously
turn her body to the side, giving him more space to cooperate and allowing him to enjoy her even more freely. Meanwhile, her jade-like
hand moved to Xin Xing's crotch, grasping his fiery, burning dragon in her grasp and gently kneading it.

Xin Xing instantly felt as if he were on cloud nine, and couldn't help but exhale a breath. He then said, "Zi Qiong, give me a
little stimulation... Ah! Yes, just like that, you're driving me crazy..."

Seeing him enjoying it, Zi Qiong was also delighted and increased her efforts, until Xin Xing frowned
and cried out in pleasure. He quickly pushed Zi Qiong away gently and began to undress her. Zi Qiong offered herself to him, and in a few moments,
she had stripped him completely naked.

Upon seeing this snow-white body, smooth and supple as silk, Xin Xing was stunned for a moment. Zi Qiong's perfection was
something he could never tire of looking at , especially under the flickering candlelight, where her rosy glow and captivating beauty were even more striking. Xin Xing quickly removed his
clothes, opened his arms, and pulled her into his embrace, the two rolling onto the stone bed.

Zi Qiong wrapped her arms around Xin Xing's neck, her body softening, allowing him to do as he pleased. Their lips met again
in a passionate kiss, lasting for the time it takes to drink half a cup of tea, before Xin Xing pulled away from her lips. He then
kissed his way down her neck, and when he took one of her nipples into his mouth, Zi Qiong convulsed, letting out a soft cry: "Ah! Dou'er
… no…" Her ten slender fingers dug into Xin Xing's hair, firmly pressing his head down.

At this moment, her beautiful breasts were completely under Xin Xing's control. He used both his hands and mouth, thoroughly enjoying himself,
licking for a long time. Suddenly, Xin Xing's lips moved down again, sliding over her lower abdomen, licking her pubic hair, and finally reaching her
crotch.

Zi Qiong understood his intention and quickly closed her legs, her cheeks flushing even more, like molten lava covering her face. But
Xin Xing would not let her have her way. He used his hands to force her legs apart, and her delicate flower bud was immediately exposed, leaping into
his eyes.

"So beautiful..." Xin Xing sighed inwardly, gazing at the beauty before him with fascination.

The entire flower bud was as tender and alluring as solidified cream, its red lips moving as if it were a mirage. Xin Xing's
eyes lit up, and he quickly leaned in, his tongue moving, licking and kissing her.

Ziqiong let out a soft "Ah!" and her body suddenly trembled violently. She felt a tongue constantly moving around,
sometimes penetrating deep into her vagina, sometimes nibbling at her clitoris. Waves of intense, nameless lust suddenly swept over Ziqiong's entire body. She never
expected that such a thing between a man and a woman could bring such a pleasurable and sweet shock.

Xin Xing buried himself in his work, making Zi Qiong tremble and moan. Unable to restrain himself any longer, Xin Xing
climbed back onto Zi Qiong, pinning her beneath him, and panted, "I...I want you!" Zi

Qiong blushed, nodded, and slightly parted her legs, realizing his head was already pressed against her entrance. A surge of excitement rose in her heart, and she whispered to him, "Come on..." ( End of Episode 1 , Part 5 ) ********** ... "Ziqiong, your breasts are so tempting, I really can't bear to let go. Can you do me a favor?" Ziqiong was already in a daze as he took her breasts and kneaded them like dough. Hearing his words, she couldn't react for a moment and asked softly, "You... what do you want me to do?" Xin Xing usually saw Ziqiong as cold and aloof, serious and never smiling. Taking this opportunity, his teasing heart suddenly arose, and he said, "Please position yourself so I can put it in. I really can't hold back anymore." Ziqiong frowned slightly, knowing that Xin Xing was trying to make things difficult for her. But then she thought, since things had come to this point, what was the point of being reserved? Besides, the Goddess Xuan Nu had said that she should tease him to her heart's content. Thinking of this, she said , "You're such a troublemaker!" Then, Ziqiong's jade hand moved down, grasping his massive member. She first stroked it a few times, then pressed the head against her clitoris , gently rubbing it. But after only a short while, Ziqiong could no longer bear it; she began to pant, and large amounts of fluid gushed from her vagina. Ziqiong could no longer resist the fire in her heart; the emptiness within her grew stronger and stronger. Coupled with Xinxing's caresses , she was completely overwhelmed. She could only use one hand to tightly embrace the man on top of her, pressing the head against her vulva, and said in a trembling voice, "Dou'er, you can put it in...it's in!" As soon as she finished speaking, her ears burned with shame, and she dared not look at him again. Xin Xing gazed at the beautiful woman beneath him, her graceful figure and delicate charm already overwhelming him. Hearing her soft, sweet voice only fueled his desire. He immediately tightened his hips, and his enormous head instantly parted, sliding in smoothly. An exceptionally strong tightness enveloped his head completely, the exquisite sensation indescribable Xin Xing breathless with pleasure. Zi Qiong, struck by the massive object, couldn't help but let out a soft "Ying," her voice like a nightingale's, truly breathtaking. Xin Xing thrust a few times at the entrance, and Zi Qiong cried out again, "Ah!" Her voice was plaintive and sorrowful. Hearing this, Xin Xing dared not move for a moment. He glanced at her and saw that Zi Qiong's whole body was stiff. Feeling pity, he quickly asked, "Are you alright? Did I hurt you?" Zi Qiong wrapped her arms around his neck and gently shook her head, her beautiful, watery eyes fixed on Xin Xing. The two immediately exchanged glances, their passion overflowing. Xin Xing kissed her on the cheek and whispered, "Your lower body is so wet and tight, it feels so good! How about you? Does it feel good?" "Mmm!" Zi Qiong nodded in response and said, "Come on, slowly insert it." The dragon roll was the most common position, with no special tricks. Upon hearing this, Xin Xing thrust in and out for a while longer before the door, saying, "You are still a virgin. Shall I deflower you first?" Zi Qiong remembered after being reminded by him, and smiled slightly, "Yes! Come on." Xin Xing said, "I know that the deflowering will be very painful, but you are a fairy, I wonder if it will be the same?" Zi Qiong said, "I don't know, but even so, I will be able to bear it, don't worry." Xin Xing said, "I'm coming. If you feel pain, you must tell me." Zi Qiong nodded gently. Xin Xing thought, "A short pain is better than a long one. Please don't blame me." He hardened his heart , thrusting his hips forward and pushing all the way in with a splash. Zi Qiong let out a soft "Oh," her head arching back as she pressed her hands tightly against Xin Xing's buttocks, her eyes blurry with tears. "It hurts...it hurts so much...don't move!" Xin Xing, feeling embarrassed, dared not move an inch. He reached out and wiped the sweat from her forehead, saying sadly, " I'm sorry , it's all my fault. I wanted to lessen your pain, but I've made you suffer!" Although Zi Qiong was in excruciating pain, Xin Xing's concern warmed her heart. She raised her delicate hand and gently stroked his handsome face, saying, "Dou'er, it's alright, I can still bear it." But Xin Xing knew her feelings all too well. He cupped her face in his hands and kissed her lips. Zi Qiong closed her eyes, opened her lips to receive his, and their kiss met. Before long, the two were kissing passionately, completely lost in the moment. To ease large hands roamed over her body, finally grasping one of her breasts while...

He fondled her nipples, his tongue lingering on hers, saying, "Your breasts are so tempting, I absolutely adore them!"

Ziqiong, her breath sweet from his kisses, felt an even sweeter warmth in her heart upon hearing his words. She slightly arched her chest,
grasping his other hand and guiding it to her other breast.

Xinxing, delighted by her initiative, naturally wouldn't disappoint her. He used both hands to
shape her breasts, his passion growing with each stroke. Finally, unable to resist, he began to slowly sway his hips,
gently thrusting in and out. After

dozens of such gentle thrusts, Ziqiong gradually felt better, experiencing a strange
pleasure . This bittersweet feeling was utterly intoxicating! After another round of Xinxing's exploration,
the remaining pain was completely overwhelmed by pleasure.

Xin Xing withdrew his tongue from her mouth and asked in a low voice, "Are you feeling better now?"

Zi Qiong didn't speak, her hazy eyes fixed on Xin Xing as she nodded.

Xin Xing gradually increased the speed of his thrusts, starting with nine shallow thrusts followed by one deep one, making a "plop plop" sound as he inserted. Before long
, Zi Qiong was moaning incessantly, her whole body tingling, her entire vulva suddenly itching.

Zi Qiong found it increasingly unbearable, feeling that burning hot dragon head constantly scratching at her entrance. She
longed for him to penetrate deeper, hoping he could fill the emptiness within her, but he just wouldn't. This torturous trick
was truly itching to the core, making her feel like she was dying and coming back to life! Zi Qiong now understood that
there was indeed a reason why the nine shallow thrusts followed by one deep one could drive a woman so crazy.

Xin Xing worked hard while admiring her intoxicated expression. Zi Qiong was already incomparably beautiful, but now, due to the
intense , she appeared even more alluring and captivating. Xin Xing, captivated by the sight, changed his strategy. He
thrust forward with a powerful, sweeping motion, penetrating deeply with each stroke.

Zi Qiong, feeling an immediate and intense pleasure, felt her limbs tremble and her body gush with desire. She frantically tried to meet his thrusts,
moaning softly.

In the blink of an eye, a short while had passed, Xin Xing withdrew his penis, suggesting they try a different move.

Zi Qiong, awakened from her reverie, rolled over, now kneeling face down, hands and knees supporting
her, her plump buttocks raised high, presenting her wet, beautiful opening to Xin Xing. This kneeling, raised-buttocks position was
the second move of the Nine Forms of the Mysterious Maiden, "Tiger Step."

Xin Xing rolled over, kneeling behind her, his hands encircling her slender waist. Taking advantage of her wetness,
he thrust his penis in, and with a soft "squeak," it was fully inside, enveloped by her flower-like opening.

As soon as Yulong entered the Water Curtain Cave, Xin Xing felt a tingling sensation all over his body. He couldn't help but thrust hard a few times, and with

a soft "smack," he slapped the plump buttocks in front of him. His gaze swept over the chrysanthemum orifice, its petals unfurling as if about to
bloom. He couldn't help but feel a surge of heat in his heart. His playful nature stirred, and he pressed his thumb directly onto it, rubbing it a few times, and exclaimed,
"What a wonderful thing! I never thought even this part would be so beautiful!"

Xin Xing was thoroughly enjoying the sight. Without saying a word, he thrust his middle finger into the chrysanthemum orifice. Zi Qiong was startled and quickly
turned around , frowning and saying, "No... don't do that!"

But Xin Xing's playful nature had already taken hold, and he wasn't about to stop. Not only did he not pull his middle finger out, but he also inserted it further inside. Zi Qiong

cried out, feeling his chrysanthemum orifice completely invaded, and he kept thrusting and poking back and forth, relentlessly drilling and piercing.

Xin Xing launched a two-pronged attack, assaulting Zi Qiong from both ends, leaving her weak and trembling, her juices flowing freely. Xin
Xing lowered his head, watching her penis extend and retract, causing her fluids to splash everywhere. His lust flared, and he increased
his force, thrusting in and out with a series of "plop, plop" sounds. Zi Qiong was attacked from both sides, receiving thrusts from above and below

, wave after wave of pleasure, relentless and overwhelming, like turbulent waves crashing down, almost engulfing her. Seeing her enjoyment, Xin Xing continued his relentless, full-force thrusts. He knew that such unrestrained activity violated the principles of the Yellow and Red Technique, but Zi Qiong was simply too tempting. He thought, even if I suffer beatings and scoldings, I will . Hundreds of thrusts passed in the blink of an eye. Suddenly, Ziqiong's entire body stiffened, followed by several tremors and shudders. Xinxing knew she was about to climax, so he quickly pressed his head tightly against her clitoris. Suddenly, he felt his penis tighten, as if she were biting down on it. After a round of contractions and sucking, a large gush of nectar gushed out from her depths, filling Xinxing with intense pleasure. After Ziqiong's climax, she was immediately intoxicated, experiencing indescribable pleasure. Her body went limp, and she collapsed. Xin Xing leaned on her back and asked, "Can we continue?" Zi Qiong was completely absorbed in her own world, as if in a dream. Hearing Xin Xing's words, she knew that even if she couldn't hold on any longer, she had to persevere and couldn't let Xin Xing give up halfway. So she nodded gently and said breathlessly, "Yes, no... don't worry about me." Seeing that she sounded weak, Xin Xing shook his head and said, "You should rest a little longer." Zi Qiong said, "Move over first, let me turn around." Xin Xing quickly pulled out his jade dragon, helped Zi Qiong lie face up, and then leaned on her, gently embracing her. Zi Qiong said, "Dou'er, I can take it, let's do the third move." As she spoke, she wrapped her arms around his neck. Upon hearing this, Xin Xing first kissed her, then gripped his jade stem and slowly thrust in. After a few thrusts, Zi Qiong frowned and cried out softly, "Ah! Dou'er... these thrusts are so deep, so comfortable..." Hearing her soft moan, Xin Xing felt half his body go weak. He immediately thrust deeply again, then pressed his lips to hers, rubbing and teasing her lips. Zi Qiong, filled to the brim by his massive member, had her flower heart already wide open after several scrapes, her jade fluid flowing endlessly. How could she resist this temptation? She quickly opened her lips to meet his, capturing his tongue and saying, "Use more force, don't hold back!" Xin Xing laughed, "Zi Qiong is getting more and more passionate, it's truly delightful." Zi Qiong's cheeks flushed red, and she kissed his lips, preventing him from continuing. After a passionate kiss , Xin Xing, while thrusting, said to her, "I'm going to move on to the third position." Zi Qiong nodded. Following her instructions, Xin Xing knelt up, first spreading her legs wide and placing them on his shoulders. Zi Qiong's alluring and tender beauty was immediately and completely revealed before him. Her red lips parted, overflowing with sweet dew; it was truly a wondrous and captivating realm, making Xin Xing love her more and more with each glance. Zi Qiong, as he lifted her legs and spread her vulva, appeared even more shy and hesitant. Just as she was momentarily flustered, his massive member once again forcefully entered, penetrating to the very end, gazing at her flower core, until she felt her soul leave her body, experiencing indescribable pleasure. Xin Xing bent down, pressing her knees onto her breasts, and with increased force in his waist, began to thrust tightly. His massive member moved in and out without restraint, surging left and right, over a hundred times. Zi Qiong could no longer bear it; her tongue went cold, her lips trembled, and her flower dew flowed freely.

Ziqiong was being pleasured and overwhelmed by pleasure, crying out incessantly
. She unconsciously released herself again, letting out a soft, mournful moan, her body going limp. Xinxing, however, was caught up in the thrill of the fight and showed no sign of stopping. Ziqiong wanted to beg for mercy, but
then remembered the instructions of the Goddess Xuan Nu, and swallowed her words, biting her lip to endure.

Xinxing, aided by his internal energy, unleashed his golden spear technique, sometimes thrusting nine times shallowly and once deeply, sometimes ten times deep and once shallowly, driving
Ziqiong to the brink of ecstasy. Xinxing grew more and more vigorous, suddenly feeling the urge to climax. He wanted to slow his movements and suppress his burning desire, but
seeing the beauty's captivating allure, how could he resist? He thought to himself, "Even if I get scolded today, I must release my pent-up
desire." His mind made up, he disregarded his own safety, thrusting fiercely, each time reaching the very root.

Ziqiong, guided by the deep palace, was instantly overwhelmed with pleasure, feeling as if she were floating on clouds. Xin Xing, however
, became increasingly aggressive, his attacks relentless. Ziqiong's moans grew louder, and suddenly she heard a muffled cry: "It's...it's coming..." Before
she could finish, large gushes of hot, scalding semen erupted in quick succession. Ziqiong was instantly scalded by the heat and, unable to
resist , surrendered to him again.

Both were ecstatic, their bodies limp as silkworms, pressed together, chest to chest, legs intertwined, panting heavily.

Xin Xing, feigning pleasure, buried his head between Ziqiong's breasts, using her panting breaths as a pretext for his wanton advances.

Ziqiong, lost in her own ecstasy and swoon, was oblivious to his playful advances, instead holding him even tighter
. After a while, exhausted, they finally fell into a deep sleep.

When Ziqiong awoke, she saw Xinxing still lying in her arms, fast asleep. She couldn't bear to
push him away, but gently turned her head to gaze at his handsome face. She stared at him for a long time,
then sighed softly and closed her eyes. Her mind was a jumble of thoughts. Suddenly, a white mist appeared before her, and through the haze,
she saw the Goddess Xuan Nu standing before her, saying, "Ziqiong, you must remember that you are a celestial maiden from the Nine Heavens.
There is a difference between immortals and mortals. You must never be promiscuous and fall into the trap of lust. From now on, you must rein in your actions and sever all ties to worldly desires.
Do you understand?"

Ziqiong broke out in a cold sweat and abruptly opened her eyes. There was no Goddess Xuan Nu. Looking at Xinxing beside her
, still fast asleep, a tear welled up in her eye.

********** ... Xin Xing surfaced, his heart skipped a beat. He was about to unleash a torrent of curses when he opened his eyes to see an exceptionally beautiful young woman standing by the pool. Dressed in snow-white robes, her face radiant with jade-like beauty, she was none other than the Fairy Zi Qiong. She coldly said, "This is just a small lesson. Next time you dare to peek again, you'll suffer even more." With that, she turned and walked away. "Wait for me!" Water splashed up, and Xin Xing, like a waterbird, leaped from the water. In a flash, he was behind Zi Qiong, pouncing on her from behind and wrapping his arms around her slender waist. Ziqiong never expected Xinxing to do this. She cried out softly as he held her tightly in his arms, his masculine scent assaulting her senses. Ziqiong's heart fluttered, her body going weak, and she didn't want to struggle , but she still cried out, "Let go!" Xinxing, holding her beautiful body, wasn't about to let go easily. He pressed his head against her ear, kissing it gently. Ziqiong trembled instantly, her body becoming even weaker: "Ah! Dou'er, don't..." But before she could finish speaking, Xinxing 's large hands moved upwards, reaching her breasts, one in each hand, gently kneading and fondling them. "No! Let go... let go... ah!" Ziqiong gasped again, a wave of pleasure spreading through her body! Xin Xing grasped her breasts, finding them exceptionally full and firm. He noticed that beneath her clothes, just as before, there was nothing there. A surge of lust arose within him, and his right hand slipped inside her garment, cupping her fleshy breasts in his palm. Zi Qiong immediately tilted her head back and gasped softly, her starry eyes half-closed, seemingly brimming with tears . Xin Xing kneaded them a few times, and her nipples hardened, rolling incessantly in his palm. Xin Xing found this incredibly pleasurable, then pinched them between his fingers. Each time he caressed and manipulated them, the nipples were pulled and moved, each movement creating a unique sensation. Zi Qiong couldn't withstand this torment; waves of pleasure surged to her head, and her legs went weak, nearly causing her to kneel. Xin Xing seized the opportunity, rolling her onto the grass, embracing her and kissing her passionately. Ziqiong gently pushed his head away, panting softly, "No, Dou'er, if you keep doing this, I'll get angry!" Xinxing held onto her breast tightly, refusing to let go, and sucked on her earlobe, saying, "Go ahead and be angry. As long as I can kiss you a few more times, even if you kill me, I'll die without regret!" As he spoke, his hands and mouth continued their relentless actions, making Ziqiong moan and groan, unable to control her emotions. Before long, Ziqiong's heart was stirred by Xinxing, and she had no strength left to struggle. Her hands unconsciously wrapped around his neck, and she kept moaning. Just as she was lost in the throes of passion, she suddenly felt a chill on her chest. Looking down, she saw that Xinxing had taken one of her nipples into his mouth, his tongue teasing and rubbing it, making the nipple roll back and forth. "Mmm! Dou'er, you...you're so naughty, what if someone sees us!" Xin Xing sucked on her nipple, his words muffled. "This is deep in the mountains, who would come here? Otherwise, you wouldn't be bathing here." As he spoke, her other breast fell into his hand at the same time. Zi Qiong had tasted it for the first time yesterday, and her love flower had already blossomed. Now, with Xin Xing 's kisses and caresses, her passion surged. She embraced Xin Xing's head passionately, her eyes closed and her limbs swaying. Her vulva was already glistening with dew, and she couldn't resist. Xin Xing lay on top of her for a while, then looked up and saw that Zi Qiong's eyebrows were furrowed and her eyes were languid. He knew she was aroused, so he seized the opportunity, quickly took off his clothes, and his jade dragon was already proudly displayed. He casually tore open Zi Qiong's front, revealing her fair skin and delicate bones. He lay on top of her, reached out and touched her vulva. His hand was wet. Without saying a word, he pressed his spear against the entrance and began to rub against her.

Ziqiong rubbed against him, feeling unbearably uncomfortable. Her beautiful buttocks trembled and swayed incessantly, her jade legs slightly parted, waiting for the dragon
to enter . Sure enough, with a hissing sound, her jade gate was already half-enclosed by the fiery rod, burning hot and unbearable. She
couldn't help but let out a soft moan. Then the fiery rod sank all the way down, finally filling her flower garden to the point of being breathless.

Xin Xing asked, "Is it comfortable?" Ziqiong didn't answer, but raised her jade hand to hold his neck, pulling him closer.
With a kiss, her four lips met, and their tongues teased and played, instantly kissing until the world went dark. Xin Xing repeatedly channeled
his energy, his jade stem stretching and contracting, sometimes deep, sometimes shallow, sometimes light like a dragonfly skimming the water, sometimes heavy like a giant python drilling a hole. After a few thrusts,
Ziqiong's heart was filled with joy, and her jade fluids flowed all over the ground.

Ziqiong, burning with passion, spread her legs and lifted her hips, letting him thrust into her. Hundreds of thrusts passed before Ziqiong trembled and
ejaculated, but Xinxing remained vigorous, his attacks fierce and tireless. They continued like this, one
after the other, for over an hour. Ziqiong ejaculated several times before Xinxing finally released his pent-up desire and called it a day.

After a short rest and tidying their clothes, Ziqiong glared at Xinxing, then turned and left without a word.

Xinxing, seeing this, panicked and rushed after her, apologetically saying, "Don't be angry, okay? I know it was my fault
. As long as you don't blame me, I'll do anything you want."

Ziqiong was both angry and confused by his forced intercourse, but she was also angry at herself for having submitted, like a pheasant seeking
a mate. This thought only made her mind more chaotic!

Xinxing kept apologizing beside her, but Ziqiong seemed to ignore him completely.

As the two were nearing the cave, Ziqiong suddenly said to Xinxing, "Be careful, something's not right."

Xinxing was startled and asked, "What?" Before he finished speaking, Ziqiong suddenly pointed her left hand and right fingers in front of her chest
, and three beams of white light shot out from her fingertips, each heading towards one of the three large trees in front of the cave.

At the same time, three green figures darted out from the trees, and with a loud "bang," the three trees were snapped in two by the
white light , splinters flying everywhere.

Xinxing looked closely and saw three ferocious-looking men standing before him, clad in scarlet armor, wielding
weapons, their brows furrowed in anger, lined up in a row. Xin Xing shouted, "It's the Ten Tiger Generals of Tianmo Luo!"

One of them, a burly man with spiky hair and a full beard, said, "Hmph! So you were hiding here.
No wonder we've searched the whole country for you."

Xin Xing laughed, "I didn't ask you to look for me. Hehe! Did your father-in-law send you?"

The burly man pointed his halberd and said, "Enough nonsense, come back to Tianmo Palace with us."

Xin Xing said, "You three monsters? You think you're a joke?"

The three roared in anger. The burly man pointed his ghost-headed saber and shouted: "Boy, how dare you talk nonsense in front of me
! Even if you had wings, you wouldn't escape my grasp today!"

Ziqiong said, "Dou'er, ignore them, let's go."

Xin Xing laughed, "They've come here to die. If we don't grant their wish, wouldn't we be letting them down?"
He strode forward and shouted, "Come and capture me if you want! Let's see what you're capable of!"

The burly man was furious and roared, "Good lad!" He leaped up, his ghost-headed saber
whistling through the air, and slashed down at Xin Xing's head.

Xin Xing shouted "Good!" and without dodging, unleashed a fiery palm strike towards the burly man. A ball of red light, like
a thunderbolt , surged towards the man's face.

The burly man, still in mid-air, suddenly saw flames leaping towards him and knew something was wrong. He quickly used magic,
drawing a green light barrier in front of him with his left palm. A deafening roar followed as the red and green energy clashed.
The burly man groaned and was sent flying back two zhang (approximately 6.6 meters). Xin Xing, also losing his footing, was struck
squarely by the rebounding energy and staggered back more than ten steps before regaining his balance.

Both men were shocked by their exchange. Xin Xing, relying on his "Mastering the Five Thunders" divine skill, had intended to teach them
a lesson , but he never expected his opponents to be so powerful.

Ziqiong cried out from the side, "Not good! They're protected by the Eight Yin Qi Waves! Run!" Before she could finish speaking, she waved
her hands repeatedly, sending hundreds of rays of golden light shooting towards the three demons. She then chanted an incantation, and colorful clouds rapidly gathered beneath her feet,
calling out to Xinxing, "Come on up!"

Upon hearing this, Xinxing leaped onto the seven-colored clouds, which immediately rose with the wind, instantly flying over the mountaintop.

The three demon generals, seeing the golden light approaching, hurriedly used the Eight Yin Qi Waves to block it. After dozens of hissing sounds, the golden light
was completely blocked by the Qi Waves and slowly dissipated. The three generals withdrew their Eight Yin Qi Waves, only to see Xinxing and Ziqiong already riding away on the clouds.
They were furious. The burly man roared, "Boy, I'll find you one day..." His voice carried
far , faintly reaching their ears.

(End of Episode 1, Part 6

) Episode 1: Reincarnation of the Divine Dragon Chapter Seven: Traveling with Beauties

Xin Xing sat atop a cloud and said, “This bearded man is quite capable, worthy of being one of the Ten
Tiger Generals of the Heavenly Demon Realm. By the way, is that Eight Yin Qi Wave very powerful? Even those who control the Five Thunders couldn't harm him?”

Zi Qiong said, “The Eight Yin Qi Wave is a demonic protective technique from the Demon Realm. Although the energy wave itself cannot harm,
one cannot unleash it without sufficient power. It seems those three demon generals are no less powerful than you. If
all three attack at the same time, even if we don't lose, we will certainly face a fierce battle. Since we have no chance of victory, we might as well avoid
them to prevent mutual destruction.”

Xin Xing said, “They are truly skilled; they actually found this place.”

Zi Qiong said, “That's nothing special. With their power, they
can , just as I discovered their demonic aura. If I'm not mistaken, they originally intended to investigate
the source of the immortal energy but inadvertently discovered you. Now that the stone cave has been discovered by them, where is…” I can't hold it any longer.

Xin Ling asked: "How good is this? Where are we going?"

Ziqiong pondered for a while and then said: "Mother Jiutian Xuannv once told me that when you come down from the mountain after you have mastered your skills, you can settle down in
Chang'an . This is because Chang'an is the place of the capital, with auspicious clouds and auspicious clouds, and those monsters and monsters will not dare to act rashly."

Xin Ling said: "But my immortal skills haven't reached their full potential yet, and the Xuanhuang skills are just the beginning. Now that I'm going down the mountain,
will Empress Xuannu blame me for coming down?"

Ziqiong shook her head and smiled slightly, and said: "Even if you want to blame, you will only blame me. What are you worried about!"

Xin Ling said quickly: "You and I are like Mu Lianzhi. If Empress Xuannu punishes you, it will be equivalent to punishing me
. Of course I am worried about this."

Zi Qiong said angrily: "Whoever compares his eyes with you, don't talk nonsense."

Xin Ling said: "Since we have become one, we are husband and wife. I recognize you as my wife." "

Zi Qiong secretly sighed, looked at him and said: "Once we were together we were husband and wife. In this way, the demon Luo Yao
"Is she your wife too?"

Xin Xing shook his head and said, "Of course not. I was forced to do that with her back then, it wasn't my own choice.
Besides, I have no feelings for her at all. How can she compare to you!"

Zi Qiong felt a mix of emotions after hearing this, and resolutely said, "I've already told you about our relationship, and
you still think like this. If you keep thinking nonsense, I won't talk to you anymore."

Xin Xing said, "But we weren't cultivating just now, and you did it with me, didn't you? Anyway, my heart won't
change. Unless you kill me, I'll stay with you forever."

Zi Qiong immediately blushed, feeling anxious and embarrassed. In order not to let them fall deeper and deeper into each other's lives, and to prevent them from becoming entangled
in feelings but to harden her heart and say with a stern face, "You still talk about what happened just now. If you hadn't
been so unreasonable, this wouldn't have happened. I'm making it clear to you now, from now on, unless it's for practicing your skills, you must not act so
recklessly , or don't blame me for being impolite." "

For over a year, Xin Xing and Zi Qiong had been together day and night. Xin Xing had long since figured out Zi Qiong's personality .
Although she spoke with a stern face, he knew she was cold on the outside but warm on the inside, so he didn't take it to heart. He could only feign agreement and then
asked , 'How much longer until we reach Chang'an?'

Zi Qiong replied, 'Not far. Chang'an, the Western Capital, is a bustling place with many people coming and going. We must find
a secluded place outside the city before we descend, so as not to frighten anyone.'

Xin Xing laughed and said, 'What's there to be afraid of when a fairy descends to earth? Besides, you are so beautiful and charming.'

Zi Qiong ignored him. Not long after, colorful clouds descended on a forest not far from Chang'an. Xin Xing asked,
'You seem very familiar with this place. Have you been here before?'

'I only surveyed it from the sky on a cloud.' Zi Qiong paused, then said, 'Since the Goddess Xuan Nu said you
were coming here, I naturally wanted to find out beforehand.'" Xin

Xing and Zi Qiong emerged from the forest and walked side by side onto the main road. In the distance, they saw a middle-aged man approaching.
As he reached them, the man looked up at the two, his eyes immediately fixed on Zi Qiong,
staring at her intently, speechless. Xin Xing, seeing this, chuckled inwardly, thinking, "Zi Qiong's beauty is truly
remarkable. When I first saw her, I was just like him. No wonder he's so mesmerized!"
He asked the man, "Excuse me, sir, is Chang'an City ahead?"

The man snapped out of his reverie, grinned, and said, "Chang'an City? It seems you two are from out of town. You
've taken the wrong road." He pointed east, saying, "If you follow the river from here, you won't have to go around in circles.
It'll save you about three li. After crossing the stone bridge, walk another li or so, and you'll reach Jin Guang Gate." "

Although this man spoke at length, his explanations were clear and detailed. Xin Xing nodded his thanks, took Zi Qiong
's hand, and followed his directions eastward. The man, however, kept turning back every three steps, watching their retreating figures,
clicking his tongue repeatedly, and murmuring, 'A handsome man and a beautiful woman, what a perfect couple!'

Before they knew it, they had walked half a mile when Xin Xing suddenly cried out, 'Oh no! I... I still have my silver in
the cave, and I'm penniless! What should we do?'

Zi Qiong was initially startled, but upon hearing this, she smiled slightly and said, 'Have you forgotten I'm here?'

Xin Xing turned his head sharply to look at her, delighted, 'You have silver! That's good, otherwise we
would have to !'

Zi Qiong smiled and said, 'I didn't say I had silver.'

Upon hearing this, Xin Xing froze, staring blankly at her, 'This... what should we do!'" "Forget about
finding lodging tonight, my stomach is already rumbling! I'm going to starve to death!"

Ziqiong said. "Although I have no money, I can conjure it up."

"Really!" Xinxing immediately beamed. "Yes, yes! I forgot for a moment that you're a celestial
fairy. How could such a simple magic trick be difficult for you?"

Ziqiong pointed to a stone by the roadside and said, "Shall we sit down and rest for a while?"

Xinxing nodded, first wiping the dust off the stone with his sleeve before letting Ziqiong sit down.

Ziqiong picked up a pebble from the ground, placed it on her lap, then covered it with her palm, muttered
a few words, and shouted, "Quick!" She removed her hand, and the pebble had turned into gleaming gold. Xinxing
jumped for joy upon seeing this.

Sitting back on the stone, Xinxing laughed, "A stone turned into gold! This time we're rich!" Ziqiong shook her head and said, "

Don't be too proud. This is 'Turning Stone into Gold' from the Thirty-Six Heavenly Gang Techniques. This
spell can not only turn silver and gold into other things, but the things it turns into cannot be too big; they must be large
enough to be covered by the palm of your hand. If it's food, you must eat it all. If it's money, you must use it all up within forty-eight hours
, leaving not a single coin. Otherwise, the spell will break, and it won't work next time."

Xinxing frowned and said, "If it's not all used up, can I give it to someone else?"

Ziqiong nodded and said, "Yes, you can. This method is mainly used for helping the poor and needy, so it's natural
to give it to others."

Xinxing smiled and asked, "As long as you give the silver to someone, it doesn't matter who it is, right?" Ziqiong
nodded , and Xinxing asked again, "What if you give it to me?" Ziqiong nodded again. Seeing this, Xinxing slapped his thigh and
exclaimed, "That's it!" "

Ziqiong was incredibly clever. Seeing Xinxing's expression, she immediately understood his meaning and said, 'Don't even think about it
. I would never do such a thing.'

Xinxing scratched his head and said, 'I understand! If you want me to teach you this magic, there's even less
hope ! Actually, more silver wouldn't be of any use to me, so forget it!'

Ziqiong said, 'It's good that you understand this way of thinking.'

Xinxing said, 'This ingot of gold is worth ten taels of silver, equivalent to ten thousand copper coins. Five copper coins can buy a peck of rice,
and even a small house would only cost twenty or thirty taels of silver. Spending this ingot of gold in four days is no easy task!'

Ziqiong smiled and said, 'There are many poor people in the world; are you worried about having too much money?'" Xin

Xing could only nod in agreement.

Since Li Yuan established the Tang Dynasty, he renamed the former capital, Daxing, to Chang'an and made it the capital.

After decades of construction and expansion in the early Tang Dynasty, Chang'an had become magnificent. Before Xin Xing and Zi Qiong even entered the city,
they could see the city walls adorned with lanterns and decorations. Xin Xing pointed to the city gate and said, "Judging from that procession, it seems there's some joyous
occasion in the city." Zi Qiong nodded in agreement.

Entering through the Golden Gate, they saw colorful flags everywhere, red banners fluttering in the air, and red and green
silks a scene of auspiciousness.

Inside and outside the city, people thronged, carriages and horses bustled, and the city was incredibly lively. Xin Xing had never been to the capital before, and seeing this…
Such a bustling scene made her eyes light up, and she looked around excitedly.

Since arriving in the mortal realm, Ziqiong had never been to a major city. Today, arriving in Chang'an, she naturally felt everything
was new and exciting. However, she was always quiet and reserved; even when she saw something interesting,
she would only glance at it briefly, unlike Xinxing who was so delighted.

Xinxing and Ziqiong crossed the clear canal and arrived at the West Market of Chang'an. The West Market, also known as the Gold Market, was
the center of and the starting point of the Silk Road. Pearls, tortoiseshell, ivory, agarwood, exquisite brocade, mirrors, and
fine silks could all be found here; the stalls were overflowing with goods, offering everything imaginable.

Chang'an was divided into East and West Markets, with taverns, jewelry shops, antique shops, clothing stores, and all sorts of other shops,
numbering over 40,000. The West Market was divided into a "well" shape, forming a nine-palace layout, with every road
densely covered with clear ruts.

Xin Xing grabbed Zi Qiong's hand and led her into the West Market, exclaiming excitedly, "There are so many strange things for sale here,
let's go take a look!"

Seeing his excited expression, Zi Qiong couldn't bear to refuse him and followed with a slight smile. She was dressed in a snow-white light
dress, her black hair flowing freely, without any jade
hairpins or ornaments, only a simple white ribbon tied around her head, radiant like a willow in the spring breeze, shimmering like a lotus emerging from the water. Xin Xing, on the other hand, was still dressed in coarse linen, a cloth belt around his waist, and hemp shoes. Walking
alongside , they truly looked like a beggar paired with a fairy, a stark contrast.

The two walked and looked around, and before they knew it, they arrived at a clothing shop. The shop was spacious, with a sign that read "Xinglong Old Shop"
in large characters. Xin Xing peered out from the door; the shop displayed colorful silks and gold threads, mink and fox furs—all of them expensive
items.

Xin Xing had studied Taoism in the deep mountains with his master since childhood, and his meals and clothing were always casual. Seeing these elaborately embroidered robes,
shimmering with blue and gold, he was filled with admiration and couldn't help but glance at them a few more times.

Just then, a young gentleman entered the shop. The shopkeeper, seeing him, immediately put on a smiling face
and bowed, saying, "So it's Lord Cui who has graced us with his presence! This is an honor for this old man. Your clothes were already prepared, and I was planning
to send them over today, but I didn't expect you to come in person. I'll go and fetch them now. Please have some pastries and
sit for a while."

Xin Xing looked at the young man surnamed Cui. He appeared to be about twenty-five or twenty-six years old, with a square face, wearing a colorful
blue brocade robe and a gold belt around his waist. He was quite handsome and dashing, with an impressive air about him. Thinking to himself, "The shopkeeper keeps
calling him 'Sir,' but this young man is he already a high-ranking official in the court?"

Seeing Xin Xing only craning his neck in front of the shop, unwilling to leave, Zi Qiong asked, "Didn't you say you were hungry?"
Her voice was soft and delicate, its echo reaching the ears of the man surnamed Cui. He immediately turned around, and upon seeing
Zi Qiong's beauty, he froze, his eyes fixed on her.

Xin Xing, hearing her words, felt his stomach rumble, and laughed, "You're right, let's
eat first ." With that, he took Zi Qiong's hand and left. Seeing the two leave, the man surnamed Cui hurriedly rushed out of the shop, watching Ziqiong's retreating

figure from behind, secretly praising, "What a beautiful woman, graceful and elegant! It's truly my great fortune to have met her today." He returned to the shop and hurriedly told the manager, "I have some urgent business to attend to, I'll get the clothes later..." With that, he leaped out of the shop and chased after them. Yuelaiju was a famous grand restaurant in Chang'an. Xin Xing stood outside the door and said to Ziqiong, "Since we're going to spend anyway, let's be lavish today, let's go in." Ziqiong had no objection and followed him inside. Upon entering Yuelaiju, they saw a spacious and grand hall, richly decorated, with gold lacquer and colorful paintings everywhere, and gilded doors and windows . Xin Xing glanced around and saw that the guests in the hall were all dressed in fine clothes, either high-ranking officials or wealthy merchants. Without waiting for the waiter to serve them, Xin Xing found a seat against the wall and sat down with Ziqiong. A waiter approached and, seeing Xin Xing's ragged clothes and impoverished appearance, his expression changed slightly, clearly displeased . Then, his eyes shifted to Zi Qiong, and he froze, thinking, "How can there be such a beautiful girl? Is she a celestial being descended to earth?" Seeing him staring at Zi Qiong, Xin Xing snapped, "Hey, hey! Are you here to greet me or just to look at me?" The waiter, startled, quickly asked, "What would you two like to eat?" Xin Xing, always frugal and easygoing, knew nothing of fine food or drink, let alone what he could order . Hearing the waiter's question, he couldn't answer immediately and asked Zi Qiong, "What would you like to eat?" Zi Qiong smiled slightly and said, "I'll eat whatever you order." Xin Xing then asked the waiter, "What good dishes do you have?" The waiter... "Crab stuffed with orange, shrimp and pork hock sashimi, quail crystal dish, and two-colored cocoon soup are all our signature dishes," the waiter said coldly. "But these expensive dishes come at a price." Seeing the waiter's snobbish face, Xin Xing was immediately angered and frowned, saying, "Since you call them signature dishes , I'll give them a try. You decide, bring me one of each." The waiter's mouth dropped open, speechless. This kid had quite the nerve! A little worried, he asked, "So many dishes, can you two finish them?" Xin Xing suddenly looked up, glaring at him, "This is our business. Do you think I can't afford it?" He then asked, "What good wine do you have here?" The waiter replied, "We have Zhenzhuquan, Sitangchun, Qingmingkong, and Qionghualu, all top-quality wines..." …” Xin Xing didn’t let him finish speaking, and said, “No need to say any more, just bring the most expensive items.” Seeing how generous he was, the waiter felt more and more uneasy and said, “The wine and dishes that you ordered, sir, would cost two taels of silver, I’m afraid…” Xin Xing was about to lash out again when a voice suddenly rang out from the side: “What are you babbling about? Didn’t you hear what this young man said? Hurry up and do as he says!” Everyone looked at the person, and Xin Xing recognized him at a glance. It was Lord Cui from earlier. Upon seeing him, the waiter hurriedly said, "So you're a friend of Lord Cui! I was mistaken, I'll go and take care of it right away." After the waiter had gone, the man surnamed Cui said, "I am Cui Shi, and I can't stand this kind of petty person's face. May I ask how you and this young lady are addressed?" Xin Xing thought to himself, "This man seems to have quite a bit of influence, he must be someone important. It's a bit strange that he's taking the initiative to befriend us. Let's see who you are." He then stood up and said with a smile, "My name is Xin Xing, and she is my betrothed. If Brother Cui doesn't mind, would you like to sit with me?" When Zi Qiong heard Xin Xing say this, her face immediately turned red, and she cursed inwardly, "Well, you dare to take advantage of !"

Upon hearing that Ziqiong was his betrothed, Cui Shi felt as if he had been punched in the heart.
He forced a smile and said, "Brother Xin, it's rare for you to be so hospitable, so I won't stand on ceremony." He sat down, thinking, "What a waste of talent
! This guy's luck with women is truly remarkable. I don't care what your relationship is; even if you're husband and wife, I'm determined to have this
beauty ."

Xin Xing asked, "Brother Cui seems to be a regular here. Are you from around here?"

Cui Shi replied, "I was originally from Dingzhou, but I'm currently working for the court, so I built a separate residence here. Yes,
Brother Xin, you seem to be from out of town, am I right?"

Xin Xing nodded and said, "My wife and I just arrived today. We came to find a relative, but we came up
empty-handed; they've already moved. Since we're already here, we plan to find an inn to stay a few more days and do some sightseeing." "Let's have some fun."

Cui Shi laughed, "What a coincidence! Tomorrow is His Majesty's birthday, and there will be
celebrations Brother Xin, you can't miss this opportunity!"

Xin Xing laughed, "No wonder I saw such a lively scene as soon as I entered Chang'an. It turns out it's His Majesty's birthday." Cui Shi

said, "Speaking of which, it's fate that we met today. We hit it off immediately. If
you why don't you stay at my humble abode for a few days? You won't have to look for a place to stay anywhere. Wouldn't that be great?"

Xin Xing noticed that Cui Shi's shifty eyes kept glancing at Zi Qiong as he spoke, and he was already quite
displeased . Hearing Cui Shi's words, he knew even more that this man had ulterior motives. He was about to refuse him outright when Zi Qiong gave him
several winks, signaling her to agree. Xin Xing was puzzled and wondered if she had some other reason. Helplessly , Xin Xing
said, "This seems..."

Cui Shi, appearing extremely friendly, preemptively said, "No need to consider it. It
just
so happens to be His Majesty's birthday, a big day. Envoys from various vassal states and friendly nations, as well as officials from various prefectures and counties, will be arriving in droves these days. Finding an inn will be really difficult. Let's just decide on this."

Xin Xing knew that Cui Shi had ulterior motives and was trying to take advantage of Zi Qiong, but since Zi Qiong wanted him to agree, he had no choice but to comply.
He said, "In that case, I can't refuse. I'm just afraid of troubling Brother Cui."

Cui Shi laughed heartily, feeling very pleased, and exchanged another round of pleasantries with Xin Xing. Soon, the waiters
brought .

After the meal, Cui Shi hailed a carriage and headed straight for his residence.

Cui Shi's residence was located in Anyi Ward, just one street away from the residence of Xue Shao, the husband of Princess Taiping. As soon as Xin Xing and
Zi Qiong alighted from their carriage, a magnificent mansion came into view. With its green tiles, carved eaves, and vermilion-lacquered pillars, the architecture was extremely
luxurious.

Xin Xing clicked his tongue repeatedly, saying, "Brother Cui, this mansion is truly extraordinary! Being an official certainly sets you apart!"

Cui Shi smiled and said, "It's nothing special. Please, both of you." He glanced at Zi Qiong, noticing that she was only gazing at
Xin Xing with affection, her pretty face showing no surprise. A surge of jealousy and resentment welled up within him.

Entering the gate, Xin Xing was even more astonished. Before him lay a vast courtyard, with brocade-paved
paths, a jeweled pond, pavilions and waterside terraces, and interspersed pines and cypresses—truly an impressive sight!

Although Xin Xing felt refreshed and pleased by the sights, she was inwardly resentful and stubbornly persisted, thinking to herself, "This place
isn't that special! Yes, there are certainly more exotic flowers and rare herbs here, the lotus pond may be larger, the wooden pillars
may , and the maids' faces may be more ordinary, but how can it compare to seeing Zi Qiong day and night? This is
true happiness on earth!"

Cui Shi personally led the two through corridors and rooms to the main hall. Xin Xing glanced at it and saw that the hall was exceptionally exquisite
and elegant. A plaque hung on the central pillar, inscribed with a poem: "Unable to distinguish between imperial favor and severance, I gaze in the mirror with new makeup. My beauty is still like springtime, my love
has already faded like autumn wind. My pillow and mat face the window at dawn, my curtains and screens face the empty moonlight. Year after year, the trees in the courtyard flourish and fall in the deep palace." The inscription at the top read
"Lady's Lament," while the signature at the bottom read "Cheng Lan."

Although Xin Xing's literary talent was average, upon seeing the poem's exquisite and well-crafted style, he couldn't help but praise it, saying, "A fine poem, a fine poem! I wonder
who this Chenglan is?"

Cui Shi smiled slightly and said, "It is indeed Cui Shi. I didn't expect you to be such a refined person, brother

. It's a pleasure to meet you!" Xin Xing laughed, "So it's Brother Cui Dake's masterpiece! A pleasure to meet you! This poem is written with meticulous detail, blending
emotion and scenery perfectly, but unfortunately, it carries a hint of melancholy and resentment!"

Cui Shi simply smiled faintly and said nothing. Little did Xin Xing know that this "Lament of the Concubine" was
written for his woman, Shangguan Wan'er. Especially the two couplets in the middle, "Her beauty still shines like spring, her love has faded like autumn wind. Her pillow
and mat face the window at dawn, her curtains and screen face the empty moonlight," are perfectly matched and vividly depict the loneliness of the palace. When Shangguan Wan'er saw it,
she sighed deeply.

Servants brought tea and snacks. After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Cui Shi said, "I've prepared two rooms. Let's go
see if they suit your taste, brother."

Xin Xing said, "To be honest, Brother Cui, my future wife is most afraid of loneliness, especially sleeping alone at night.
One room will suffice for us."

Zi Qiong blushed and lowered her head in silence. Cui Shi was consumed by jealousy but had no reply. He could only
