Lai Jianlin modestly smiled at them and said, “Surely if my brothers encountered such a matter, they too would turn peril into safety.
I’d like to ask for my brothers’ guidance in the future.”
“Haha, junior brother is too modest.
With your talent and wisdom, it is we who should seek advice from you in the future,” said a disciple of Elder Er with a hearty laugh.
The others all nodded and smiled, stood up to toast together, and then continued to eat their meat with big bites.
Nangong Immortal Sect.
After the grand competition, the disciples had disappeared for a few days.
On this day, an elder led the Foundation Establishment Stage disciples to set off for the Immortal Venerable City, where the competition of all Immortal Sects was held.
Immortal Venerable City got its name because, it was said, an Immortal Venerable appeared here ten thousand years ago.
After his Ascension, he descended to the Mortal World; he could tear open space, ascend to the heavens, and burrow into the earth.
For a long time, every three years, there has been a competition among all the Immortal Sects.
It serves as a means of promoting exchange and enhancing disciples’ abilities, with the hope that in the not-so-distant future, someone will achieve Ascension.
As a result, in the Cultivation World, which had not seen an Ascension for ten thousand years, hope rose anew.
An elder took out his Flying Treasure, a flying saucer, and invited the other elders and disciples to enter inside it.
Liu Yong, accompanied by Xiao Xiang, Liu Jiaojiao, Luo Yaxuan, and his attendant Sun Zi’an, brought up the rear.
Due to the large number of people, they sat in meditation in a room.
Liu Yong, feeling like an outsider, let the other elders take charge of the overall situation.
Luo Yaxuan’s eyes were slightly narrowed, but his Divine Sense was scanning beyond the flying saucer.
Other cultivators were also extending their Divine Senses outside.
Liu Jiaojiao could only sit in meditation for a short while before growing restless.
She walked to the window of the room and looked outside.
The flying saucer flew above the clouds, and at the window, they could possibly touch the clouds with their hands.
Liu Jiaojiao placed her hand by the window, quietly opened it, and stretched her hand out to touch the clouds.
The clouds were as soft as cotton, and upon touching them, her hand felt the soft fluffiness that was exceptionally fresh and comfortable.
Liu Jiaojiao spotted something resembling a small bird, yet smaller than a bird, and more like an insect.
“Come here, little one.”
“Chirp, chirp, chirp.”
“Come here, come here.”
“Chirp, chirp, chirp.”
“Come on over, sister will give you candy.”
“Chirp, chirp, chirp,” the little one hopped a few steps closer.
“Come on over, there are candies inside this Magical Treasure, come on in, quickly.”
Liu Jiaojiao waved at the creature again and took out a small bottle from her Storage Bag.
It was a jade vial for storing pills, containing six Spirit Supplement Pills, which she used to lure the little one.
“Chirp, chirp, chirp,” the little creature, enticed by the fragrance, indeed was fooled and hopped into the jade bottle.
Liu Jiaojiao satisfiedly plugged the bottle’s lid, closed the window, moved to her mother’s side, and proudly said,
“Mother, look what kind of elf this is?”
Liu Jiaojiao’s actions were so conspicuous that how could the people meditating in the room not be aware of what she was doing?
Just because she was a lively girl who couldn’t sit still for long, they let her have her fun.
Unexpectedly, with such luck, she encountered a Cloud Elf just by playing around.
Xiao Xiang opened her eyes and said with a smile,
“My daughter is really lucky, this is indeed a Cloud Elf.”
“Mother, what’s a Cloud Elf?”
“It’s a pet that can be raised.”
Mother, I want to raise it.”
“Hmm, Cloud Elves possess special abilities like the Illusion Spell.
When they encounter a formidable enemy, they can cast a spell that plunges the adversary into an illusion, protecting their master by rendering them invisible.
They can also form a contract with their master.”
Then I want to form a contract with the Cloud Elf.”
“These little guys are pretty clever.
If it isn’t willing, you can’t form a contract with it.
Just raise it for now.”
As Xiao Xiang explained this to her daughter, she felt that bringing her out was the right decision.
The daughter was being pampered at her side, not like other disciples of the Immortal Sect who could go out to experience the world, undertake missions, and learn about the treacherous hearts of people in the Martial World.
Her daughter was spoiled, willful, and lively by her side, and Xiao Xiang was somewhat worried that she would attract trouble if she went out without understanding anything.
Liu Jiaojiao listened to her mother’s words, then glanced at Luo Yaxuan who had his eyes closed.
“Senior brother, stop sleeping.
Let’s go catch elves, what do you say?”
“Junior sister, Cloud Elves aren’t cabbages; they aren’t so easy to catch.”
Luo Yaxuan opened his starry eyes with a smile playing on his lips as he spoke.
Sun Zi’an had already been curiously watching but knew it wasn’t his place to speak, so he quietly observed from the side.
Ever since that time the young master gave him a spell and cultivation technique, and later Elder Er rewarded him with insights into cultivating, he had been practicing diligently with the secret manuals whenever he wasn’t cooking.
Truth be told, if he had to comprehend it all on his own, he really wouldn’t have advanced so quickly.
These past few days, he had already reached the eighth level of Qi Refining.
“Senior brother, I was able to catch one, which proves there are other elves in the clouds.
Look, I can catch them using this.
Why don’t you give it a try too?
If you catch one, you could raise a pet as well.
Then we can have a pair, one for you and one for me.”
Luo Yaxuan took an empty jade bottle out of his storage bag, put seven or eight Spirit Supplement Pills in it, opened the window, and released the jade bottle into the clouds.
“Oh no, senior brother, why did you throw the jade bottle into the clouds?”
“I’m fishing for Cloud Elves.”
“Can you really use this method?
I didn’t need it just now.”
“Our methods are different, and maybe we’ll get different results.”
If you can really fish one out with that, then the elf is really stupid.”
“Junior sister, then wouldn’t yours be even stupider?”
While they were playing here, other disciples from different rooms seemed to sense something as well and began to try various methods to join in the fun.
Liu Jiaojiao saw them starting to play and others following, and with a frown and pout, she said:
“How can they do that?
Humph, I bet they won’t catch any.”
“Junior sister, we’re all fellow disciples, just having fun.
Maybe there really are a lot of elves in the clouds.”
“If they all have one, then mine isn’t special anymore.”
“You’re not planning to sell it, are you?
What does it matter if yours is common?
Are you short on money, junior sister?”
“No, you’ve got it all wrong, senior brother.
It just doesn’t seem rare anymore if everyone else has one.”
“Junior sister, I caught one too,” Luo Yaxuan said, retrieving the thrown jade bottle.
Let me see what it looks like!”
Liu Jiaojiao’s mood quickly shifted from discontent to happiness.
“Alright, here you go.
If you like it, junior sister, I’ll give it to you.”
Senior brother, you raise one too!
Each of us can have our own.”
Cloud Elves all look quite similar, except the one in Luo Yaxuan’s hand was a bit larger and more lively than Liu Jiaojiao’s.
