The Immortality Flower
Mr. Xing Jiao Lao

The iron bone hornfish surrounded the ship preparing to sink it. Xia Cheng felt the reversing pressure on the water wall to the point of affecting his soul.

"You guys focus, I will protect your souls" Lu Jia said.

The quick-pitched guqin quote played by Lu Jia made the musical soul protection. The iron bone hornfish roared until the ship shook. Everyone is panicking. The sword emerged from the bottom of the water which was then captured by Xia Cheng.

The circular motion with a forward leg kick swinging the wind-slashing sword was done by Xia Cheng. The sea water rose following Xia Cheng's sword swing movement. The iron bone hornfish leaped into the air leaping over the ship intending to swallow the girl behind Lu Jia.

"Trad.... "

The guqin strings let out soul arrows attacking into the mouth of the fish. The iron bone hornfish plunged back into the sea. A golden chain came out from within the sea which made Xia Cheng and Chen Lie astonished.

"What chain is this! " said Chen Lie.

Lu Jia turned the guqin board rubbing it until it turned into a guqin made of rare blue jade. Lu Jia patted the guqin until a surge of soul force came out overflowing. The sea water gathered around meandering as Xia Cheng's sword danced in the air.

The darting sword smashed into the wall of water concentrating at one particular point. The seawater controlled by Xia Cheng's sword helped attack himself. Chen Lie manipulates the energy of heaven and earth to move the wind to form the wind*****pair inside and outside the barrier wall.

The iron bone horn fish again jumped which was the same as Lu Jia plucked the guqin strings slashing the body of the iron bone horn fish stone. Lu Jia's speed in playing the guqin affected the rhythm of the soul energy incision he released. The golden chain that soared like a living chain started to activate its power.

Lu Jia's rare blue jade guqin played a mysterious tone that could affect the iron bone horn fish that roared in pain.

"This golden chain contains moon energy that I can harness to get out, "inner Lu Jia.

The book that was in the sea of his soul opened on the next page with the verses coming out around Lu Jia's soul.

Lu Jia plucking the guqin strings made the golden chains move slowly closer to the ship. The iron bone horn fish leaped into the air which was greeted with a golden chain that bound him according to Lu Jia's orders. The golden chain gripped tightly onto the body of the iron bone horn fish. The roar of anger he let out as the golden chain grew tighter and tighter.

"Eternal soul King Technique! " say someone.

The visual of a gigantic soul wielding a sword slashing through the iron bone horn fish to shatter into pieces. Xia Cheng's sword rounds that were coated by Chen Lie's wind power could finally open a gap on the water wall.

"Open up! " shouted Xia Cheng.

"Blarrr!! "

The water wall collapsed. The carcass of the iron bone horn fish fell into the sea which was then eaten by meat-eating fish. The figure of the young master-like man who slashed the iron bone horn fish holding the fan stood on the boat behind Lu Jia.

Eyes looked at the figure, Xia Cheng and Lu Jia seemed to recognize the identity of the man.

"Gulao iron fan? Master Xing Jiao Lao! " Xia Cheng said along with Chen Lie.

The person called Mister Xing Jiao Lao descended face to face with Xia Cheng. Lu Jia looked at Xing Jiao Lao for a moment before turning her eyes away.

"Young man, your strength is identical to Wu Xing. Are you part of the five element pavilion? " ask Xing Jiao Lao.

"Answer, no, " said Chen Lie.

"Oh." replied Xing Jiao Lao.

Mr. Xing Jiao Lao has always been associated with the Xing family. But he himself did not dispute it. Everyone thought that master Xing Jiao Lao was a descendant of the Xing family.

Xing Jiao Lao turned his head towards Lu Jia who was turning his rare blue jade guqin into ordinary wood which then disappeared.

"Music practice is the realm of soul-perfection music" said Xing Jiao Lao who left Chen Lie and Xia Cheng shocked.

"What! " he shouted

The captain of the ship who had previously fainted woke up feeling dizzy in his head.

"What's going on? " he said confusion.

Eyes looked towards the captain of the ship that was being dressed in confusion.

"Hurry and re-run the ship, is your sleep too good? " said Chen Lie.

"Mr Xing, you said he was in the realm of soul refinement music. What you said is true, "ask Chen Lie.

"My eyesight is never wrong, "reply Xing Jiao Lao.

"The path of music cultivation the realm of soul refinement music was a realm that could be juxtaposed with a realm that approached immortal humans. A music cultivator who reached this realm, I was shocked to hear it firsthand, " Xia Cheng said.

"Aren't you the Changge pavilion person? " ask Xing Jiao Lao.

"really. I'm the Changge pavilion person, " replied Lu Jia.

"Your cultivation isn't bad. Rarely do I see a person who can reach this realm at the age of you. Given the realm you're stepping into now, your lifespan is likely to increase by 100 years" Xing Jiao Lao said.

"Master, you're overly complimentary, "reply Lu Jia.

"Where are you going? " ask Xing Jiao Lao.

"Wu territory, "answer them simultaneously.

"Master, the fog is getting thickened. I'm afraid we're going to hit the reef" the ship's captain said suddenly.

"No need to worry, " said Xing Jiao Lao whirling the Gulao fan and flinging it blind to the fog disappeared instantly.

The captain of the ship advanced his ship slowly as the white mist disappeared.

"The ghost fog did make a mess. Lucky for you there is the Changge pavilion lady protecting your souls, " Xing Jiao Lao said.

"Thank you, " Chen Lie said representing Xia Cheng to Lu Jia.

Xing Jiao Lao left them back inside the ship. Chen Lie approached Lu Jia with a look of admiration.

"Are the Changge pavilion ladies all great just like you? "ask Chen Lie.

"Master's joking. The Changge Pavilion was not as great as the master said, "reply Lu Jia.

"I can't believe you must be one of the important people there" Xia Cheng said.

"Tell me what the Changge pavilion looks like, " said Chen Lie.

"Change Pavilion is the same as the five-element pavilion or the other. Different from the nine interconnected powers, the Changge pavilion stood not involved with any affairs. The Changge Pavilion were all practitioners of the musical cultivation path of both men and women. One of the influential powers in the Wu capital, "said Lu Jia explaining what the Changge pavilion was like.

" Well, the world is complicated. In addition to the nine powers and the four holy colleges, there were various powers outside of them, " Xia Cheng said.

"Changge's pavilion strength is not comparable to that of His Majesty King Jin but can be juxtaposed with the capital's extended family" Lu Jia said.

Chen Lie looked at Xia Cheng then asked Lu Jia.

"How influential is King Jin in Wu? " ask Chen Lie.

"The capital may be King Jin's weak point, but his daughter is married to the son of Lou's residence. Although Lou's residence had deteriorated, but Lou's son was able to become a minister and marry King Jin's daughter who strengthened himself in the government. In recent years, Lou's residence has increased rapidly, "reply Lu Jia.

"King Jin's territory? " ask Xia Cheng.

"Nearly half of Wu's territory. The people dubbed him King of different clans of the ruling royal family almost equalled the Emperor. The contribution of King Jin at the time of the founding of the dynasty cannot be denied by anything. Until now, King Jin had never aged until everyone assumed that King Jin had reached the realm of immortal humans" Lu Jia said.

"It's great to hear your story, but being called an immortal seems too much and absurd" Xia Cheng said.

"Rubber. When King Jin had reached the realm of immortal humans, he should have ascended to the next realm. The transitional realm before ascending to become a God in the upper realms, " added Chen Lie.

"I'm not sure, but the undeniable fact is that King Jin never ages. From when the first Emperor established a dynasty aided by King Jin who was once a great nameless warrior who expanded the territory of Wu to be given the surname by His Majesty the first Emperor taken from his middle name, " said Lu Jia.

"I'm not sure that King Jin is as great as he said, " whispered Chen Lie to Xia Cheng.
