Chapter 177 – Yellow Millet Pillow


"The grass on my father's grave is taller than me!"

 

"You're not that short." Shangguan Yu muttered.

 

After knowing Shangguan Yu's identity, Uncle Ba's eyes lit up, and he patted Qiu Jinan's shoulder: "You can call me Old Ba in the future."

 

"Get lost!" Qiu Jinan shook off Uncle Ba's hand. Seek Tao Sect was indeed not a place to stay for long. He was about to vent all his lifetime anger on Seek Tao Sect.

 

"Little Qiu, I think Seek Tao Sect is quite fun. It's rare to come here. Why don't we stay for a few more days?" Shangguan Yu suggested.

 

Qiu Jinan pulled Shangguan Yu and left without looking back.

 

Shangguan Yu kept talking: "I've been teaching you since you were a child, don't get angry when you encounter things, be calm when you do things, be steady when you behave. Look at you, you're already a grown-up, and you're still often angry as the sect master. This is not good…"

 

Qiu Jinan kept a straight face and didn't respond.

 

Shangguan Yu wiped her tears: "The child has grown up and doesn't listen to me anymore."

 

Qiu Jinan responded helplessly: "Mom, can you stop acting like a child?"

 

"What's wrong with being a child? Your father likes me this way."

 

"I…" Qiu Jinan was speechless, not knowing how his father fell in love with his mother in the first place.

 

On the flying boat, Qiu Jinan assigned tasks: "After this visit to Seek Tao Sect, everyone should write a 2,000-word reflection. It should include reflections, introspections, and plans for the next step. Hand it in to me tomorrow!"

 

There was a chorus of groans.

 

 

In front of the gate of Seek Tao Sect, Uncle Ba waved goodbye to the flying boat, feeling a bit down: "Do you think I have a chance with Shangguan Yu?"

 

The first elder looked Uncle Ba up and down, with a look of disdain: "You're not even as handsome as me, and you dare to pursue her?"

 

The third elder said earnestly: "Second brother, I won't stop you if you want to be a generation older, but I'm afraid the master won't agree. The master suppresses the prison peak, and probably won't miss you."

 

The elders carried on the tradition of kicking a man when he's down, all advising Uncle Ba not to be too desperate.

 

"Get lost!" Uncle Ba was furious. What kind of brothers are these? They can't even say a nice word.

 

"Let's go and see the high-ranking members of the Immortal Sect we've captured." The first elder said. This was the urgent matter that needed to be dealt with.

 

On the martial arts field, the disciples of Seek Tao Sect were gathered around the high-ranking members of the Immortal Sect, pointing and commenting as if they were looking at rare animals.

 

They didn't manage to capture all the members of the Immortal Sect who had infiltrated Seek Tao Sect. Two helmsmen and the founder were still at large, pretending to be disciples of Seek Tao Sect.

 

Lu Yang was holding the Huangliang Pillow, looking at it from left to right, very curious.

 

This was his first time seeing an immortal treasure.

 

The Huangliang Pillow was a porcelain pillow in the shape of a pillow. The porcelain pillow was green, and a blooming green lotus was painted on it with colored glaze.

 

"Is this the Huangliang Pillow that Little Lu mentioned?" The first elder and others came over, also very curious about the immortal treasure.

 

"Come, let me study it." The first elder took the Huangliang Pillow. He was good at dreamscapes and was very interested in this kind of treasure that could force people to sleep.

 

The first elder tried to input a trace of spiritual power to activate the immortal treasure, but the spiritual power was like a stone sinking into the sea, and the Huangliang Pillow didn't react at all.

 

"Interesting." The first elder was even more curious about how to activate the Huangliang Pillow.

 

Yun Zhi wanted to tell the first elder how to use it. She opened her mouth, but seeing that the first elder was very interested, she didn't say it after all.

 

Let the first elder study it himself.

 

The first elder tried all kinds of methods, but he couldn't drive the Huangliang Pillow, and he was a little frustrated.

 

"How the hell do you use this thing?"

 

The vice sect master of the prisoners below the stage saw this and laughed: "Stupid, this is the immortal object of my sect. How can you mortals be qualified to use this object?"

 

While the first elder was studying, the vice sect master was mocking him, and the five high-ranking members of the Immortal Sect also occasionally let out strange laughs.

 

The first elder couldn't stand it anymore, picked up the porcelain pillow and hit the vice sect master's head hard. The vice sect master fell asleep peacefully.

 

"So that's how you use an immortal treasure." The first elder seemed to understand something and finally knew how to use the Huangliang Pillow.

 

Yun Zhi couldn't stand it anymore and reminded: "First elder, use spiritual power to form a green lotus on the back of the pillow just like the one on the front, and you can activate the pillow."

 

"So that's how it is."

 

The first elder used spiritual power to form a green lotus on the back of the pillow just like the one on the front, and hit a high-ranking member of the Immortal Sect on the head. That person fell asleep peacefully.

 

"It's quite useful."

 

The first elder returned the pillow to Lu Yang. Lu Yang also tried according to the elder sister's words, but there was no response.

 

The Immortal Maiden mocked: "You, a Foundation Establishment cultivator, want to activate my treasure?"

 

Lu Yang had no choice but to hand over the pillow to the elder sister for disposal.

 

Yun Zhi made a seal with one hand, and the seal slowly sank into the Huangliang Pillow. When the seal disappeared, she handed the porcelain pillow to the first elder.

 

"First elder, you are the best at dreamscapes in our sect. This object can play the biggest role in your hands. I have left a brand on the pillow, so even if it is taken away by outsiders, I can retrieve it."

 

The first elder was both surprised and delighted, and thanked Yun Zhi solemnly. This was an extremely precious immortal treasure. Possessing this could take his combat power to the next level.

 

He was already one of the strongest in the Integration stage. Now that he had obtained the immortal treasure, he could become an invincible existence in the Integration realm. Even Bu Yu Taoist had to be careful of him!

 

Yun Zhi passed on a passage of ancient words, asking the first elder to remember it, saying that chanting this passage when using the Huangliang Pillow could enhance the power of the Huangliang Pillow.

 

The first elder was curious and asked Yun Zhi if she knew the meaning of this ancient passage.

 

Yun Zhi looked strange and said that it was better for the first elder not to know the meaning of the ancient words.

"Why is your pillow called the Yellow Millet Pillow?" Lu Yang asked the Immortal.

 

"Is it because you were making millet porridge and fell asleep on the pillow, living out your entire life in your dreams, and when you woke up, the millet porridge was still not ready?" Lu Yang recalled a certain legend.

 

The Immortal nodded, "It's somewhat similar to your guess."

 

"When the pillow was first made, I invited the Heavenly Immortals for a meal, and the main dish was millet porridge. I was distracted by other thoughts, and the porridge was overcooked, bubbling up and almost overflowing from the pot."

 

"At that moment, I remembered what the Ninefold Immortal once said, that if a liquid boils during an experiment, throw in a few broken porcelain pieces, and it will stop boiling."

 

"I didn't have any broken porcelain at hand, only the porcelain pillow, so I threw the pillow into the millet porridge. When I fished it out, the pillow was covered in millet porridge, hence it was named the Yellow Millet Pillow."

 

Lu Yang: "……"

 

Does this have anything to do with my guess?

 

"Did it overflow after you threw it in?" Lu Yang was concerned about the subsequent development of the situation.

 

"No, it didn't."

 

Just as Lu Yang was about to comment that the method was indeed effective, the Immortal continued, "I used too much force and broke the pot."

 

The Immortal looked somewhat relieved, "Fortunately, the Heavenly Immortals stood me up. Otherwise, without the main dish for the meal, it would have been a great embarrassment."

 

It was rumored that immortals had the ability to seek benefits and avoid harm. The rumor was indeed true.
