Chapter 153 The Origin of Guo Pu's Compass
High above the stone gate, a light green feather floated down slowly, like the most vibrant elf between heaven and earth, dancing the melody of life in silence.
For Guo Lingli, the falling of the feather was like a thousand pounds weighing on her heart. She stared at the slowly falling feather in confusion, with complex emotions flashing in her eyes.
At this moment, Mo Yan moved like a flash of black lightning, and instantly came to the place where the feather fell. He gently bent down and carefully picked up the feather, as if he was holding a rare treasure in his hand. Then, he stretched out his hand and said to Guo Lingli calmly: "Compass."
Guo Lingli was slightly stunned, and then she understood what Mo Yan meant. She took a deep breath and handed him the compass in her hand. Mo Yan took the compass and slid his fingers gently across it, as if playing a silent piece of music. With a light "hum", the feather in his hand suddenly disappeared without a trace and merged into the compass.
Seeing this scene, Guo Lingli's heart seemed to be hit by a heavy hammer. Her face turned pale instantly and her body was shaking.
Seeing this, Li Er hurriedly stepped forward, supported her steadily, and whispered to Mo Yan: "You are too anxious. She may not be able to bear it."
Mo Yan heard this and a playful smile appeared on his lips. He said calmly: "Since you have already subdued the Rotating Turtle Divine Shadow, you might as well accept his feather as well. As for whether you can bear it or not, it is not within my consideration. Just contribute a little bit of the elixir in your hand and it will be solved."
Leng Xing and Yin Jing also wanted to step forward, but they were not as fast as Li Er. They stood aside, listening to the conversation between the two, full of envy. After all, being able to get a feather from the head of the turtle bird, even if it was just a light piece, was enough to make countless monks dream of it.
According to the legend of this feather, it has the magical power to break through boundaries. In the ancient "Classic of Mountains and Seas", the reason why those strange beasts are sought after by all levels of heaven is because they can break through the barriers of each level of heaven. As long as your body can withstand it, you can go to any level of heaven.
The various magical instruments, spiritual instruments, and immortal instruments made from the scales, feathers, and bones of these exotic animals have the effect of breaking boundaries. If Guo Pu's compass can really accommodate this feather, then the value of this compass will be inestimable.
Faced with all these temptations and dangers, Li Er did not take out the elixir, but handed a jade gourd to Guo Lingli. He transmitted the spell to her and asked her to drink the immortal wine inside.
Guo Lingli knew that Li Er and Mo Yan had no intention of harming her, so she sat cross-legged again, meditated and regulated her breathing, listening attentively to Li Er's voice.
After three times, she used the spell on her own, and the jade gourd slowly grew larger in her hand. She pulled out the cork, and a rich fragrance came to her nose. The fragrance seemed to be the nectar of the gods floating from the sky, making people intoxicated.
Guo Lingli gently poured the fairy wine into her mouth, and felt a warm current sliding down her throat into her heart. She immediately felt relaxed and refreshed.
Mo Yan frowned and thought to himself: Master is so cunning. If there is some trick in the wine, this little girl will be in danger.
Yin Jing also sighed inwardly: Where is Xiao Haozi's vigilance? If there is a poisonous insect in this wine, I wonder if you can still be so calm? No, I must remind her to be careful next time.
Leng Xingze was puzzled by Guo Lingli's trust in Li Er. He felt that this little girl seemed innocent, but in fact she had other plans. Perhaps this was the reason why she could get to where she is today.
In front of the huge stone gate, the aroma of the fairy wine in the jade gourd was like a thousand lotus flowers blooming, filling the air and making people feel relaxed and happy. Everyone was deeply attracted by the aroma, and they all sat cross-legged, closed their eyes, and began to immerse themselves in this fairy air, as if they were in a fairyland.
Mo Yan originally thought that he could resist the temptation of this fairy wine, but he didn't expect that the aroma seemed to have magical power, making him unable to help but indulge in it.
He couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart. It turned out that Master Uncle Li Er's real intention was not the wine, but to use this fairy wine to temporarily paralyze them and prevent them from entering the secret realm.
He felt sincere admiration for Li Er's wisdom and cunning.
But after waiting for a while, Li Er did not enter the secret realm as Mo Yan had expected. Instead, he frowned and sent a message to Mo Yan: "Is the rotating turtle here your mount?"
There was a hint of provocation and confidence in Mo Yan's voice, and he also transmitted: "What do you think?"
"It seems like I've come here for nothing." Li Er said helplessly, with a hint of disappointment in his voice.
"It's not a wasted trip. It's really rare that you give away such good wine and dew." Mo Yan said sarcastically, but in his heart he felt a little admiration for Li Er's generosity. What a generous person.
Li Er said nonchalantly, "I can still afford this little bit of fine wine, so it's not a loss to give it to the four of you. If those two think it's a good idea and persuade their parents to make a reservation at Taiji Palace, I'll make a fortune." There was a hint of businessman's shrewdness and calculation in his voice.
Mo Yan's voice was filled with sarcasm, and he sneered, "Then you have to let them know that you are the Taishang Laojun of Taiji Palace first."
Li Er said indifferently, "Don't worry, they will know that I am the Golden Boy of Taiji Palace. I will take the initiative to tell them."
Mo Yan choked when he heard this, thinking that he was still a little naive. The main reason was that Taiji Palace was too special a place, and everyone looked the same. He seriously suspected that the master had set it up just for him to come down and have fun.
After a period of immersion, everyone opened their eyes and stood up. They felt as if their bodies were washed by a stream of clear water, refreshed and benefited greatly.
Yin Jing walked up to Guo Lingli first and asked with concern: "Xiao Haozi, how do you feel? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"
Guo Lingli turned around and smiled, saying happily: "Very good. Very good!" She said the English words at the end to Li Er as a special thanks to him.
Her smile was as bright as the sun, making people feel extremely warm. Although Yin Jing didn't understand what she was saying, he could feel her joy and satisfaction.
Guo Lingli returned the jade gourd to Li Er. Li Er waved his hand and said, "This is my compensation for you over the years. Take it."
Guo Lingli didn't understand, but this immortal wine was indeed a good thing, so she thanked him again without hesitation and put it in her blood jade bracelet. Yin Jing and Leng Xing were both people who had seen good things, so although they thought the immortal wine was good, they would not be greedy for this little immortal wine.
Li Er saw all of this. He said to Mo Yan with a teasing and joking smile: "Don't judge others by your own standards."
Leng Xing said to Mo Yan in admiration: "This compass is simply amazing, I wonder where it came from?"
Mo Yan smiled slightly and looked at Guo Lingli's expectant eyes, with a hint of complacency and pride in his eyes.
He coughed lightly and began to tell the origin of the compass: "This compass was originally a magic weapon of Guo Pu of the Ninth Heaven. Five hundred years ago, one of his juniors, Guo Xiu, the king of Xiu Kingdom in the lower world, came to the Ninth Heaven for a visit. He saw that although the compass was good, there was still room for improvement, so he personally improved it into its current form."
He believed that Guo Lingli must know who the emperor of her country was, and she must have a sincere admiration for Guo Xiu. After all, her surname was also given by Guo Xiu, and this origin made her feel closer to Guo Xiu in her heart.
He paused and continued, "This improved compass was refined in large quantities and became a magic weapon used by the Guo family to reward younger generations of cultivators."
