Red Sleeve Island, Silk Cave.
Master Tao rode on a cloud, slowly leaving Aunt Pan Si's Daoist field, with a slightly fatigued expression on his face.
It was only natural, as though he possessed great magical power, tasks like "Washing Heart and Soul" consumed considerable energy.
Especially during the casting, he and Aunt Pan Si, to some extent, had to be honest with each other, and resisting the temptation therein consumed even more heart power.
On the auspicious cloud, Tao Qian was holding a delicate book box, which seemed to contain only a few books, but in fact, held over a thousand Secret Books, all related to the Great Abyss Origin Sea.
In the vast Spirit Treasure Sect, it would be impossible to accurately sift these from the extensive Scripture Hall in a short time without Pan Si Fairy.
The authors of these books and Secret Books were not all Spirit Treasure disciples.
Most were collected from various sources.
The Longevity Realm had existed for a long time, and cultivators like "Uncle Li Mei," who ventured to the Great Abyss, were countless.
Tao Qian wished to emulate them in seeking the Dao, and doing some homework beforehand was always beneficial.
However, at this moment, his mind was not on this, and he mumbled in bewilderment:
"How did my preferences leak out?"
"Could it be that my unscrupulous master previously gave me some inappropriate nicknames?"
No sooner had Tao Qian spoken.
Soon, a wisp of red smoke from Ascending Immortal Island drifted over, revealing the figure of Yuan Gong in white clothes, with his reddish brows slanted upwards.
Perhaps Master Yuan heard Tao Qian's complaints, he raised his scarlet sword-shaped eyebrows and laughed aloud:
"This time you wronged Duobao, he only gave you the nickname [Daoist Peach Blossom]."
"As for your two preferences, why would they need to be leaked?"
"Just look back at those girls entangled with you; as long as they are not blind, who wouldn't see it?"
No sooner had Master Yuan finished speaking than Tao Qian didn't think of refuting immediately. ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ 𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹·𝑓𝑖𝑟𝑒·𝗇𝗲𝘁
He was only stunned for a moment, subconsciously murmuring: "Hmm? Two?"
Soon he recalled and responded solemnly: "Master Yuan, don't spread rumors, nor believe them, Tao Qian is a decent person..."
Yuan Gong came to look for Tao Qian for another important matter.
Upon hearing this, he burst into laughter before saying anything more, causing the red smoke to echo with long cries of an ape, and on Yuan's slightly ancient-looking face, his eyes, ears, mouth, and nose appeared bright and relaxed.
Seeing him laughing heartily, pointing at Tao Qian:
"A decent person... hahaha."
"How could Duobao accept decent people as disciples, truly decent ones wouldn't worship a rogue like Duobao."
"Don't struggle, among us elders and your juniors in the sect, which one can't see that you like half-human half-demon, and also prefer the older ones..."
Hearing this, Tao Qian immediately wanted to speak, to argue with Yuan Gong a little.
However, at this moment, he sensed something, looked up, and indeed saw several clouds from which poked curious and excited heads of the Nursing Woman Bird.
Just seeing wasn't enough, these cursed birds also started chattering and discussing quietly.
"Big news! Big news! Our True Monarch master's preferences have leaked, turns out the master likes half-human half-demon, and also likes older ones."
"This is old news, don't act like you've never seen the world."
"Not only the True Monarch master but the mistress shares the same preferences; otherwise, why often coax Pan Si Immortal, Lue Immortal, and Fairy Cai Yun to bathe together."
"Speaking of, we as a clan fully meet the master's two preferences, is this perhaps the reason he allows us free access to the Longevity Immortal Peach Forest?"
"Hmm? How clever of you, why didn't I think of that."
Tao Qian, with his keen eyes and ears, needless to say, turned dark-faced at this moment.
Strange enough, he couldn't argue with these cursed birds, otherwise, within a few days, the entire Penglai would know.
Without saying more, he hurriedly pulled Yuan Gong to the island, while casually pulling out a book, and took the opportunity to change the subject by saying:
"Master Yuan, take a look, this book is called 'Great Abyss Wanderings.'
"The author's origin is unknown, only leaving a Daoist title [Gui Cangzi], after a thorough examination of many scriptures, Aunt Pan Si speculates that this senior might be one of our Secret Demon Sect..."
When they reached the quiet room in the Cave Mansion.
Tao Qian had already browsed through a dozen pages of content, at first he just intended to use this book to change the subject, but now after reading, he couldn't help but sigh:
"What a good Secret Book!"
"Senior Gui Cangzi was truly bold, clearly having Daoist Lord cultivation, yet instead of cultivating, he acted recklessly in the Great Abyss Origin Sea, engaging in all sorts of rebellious acts, each almost costing him his life."
"Just like on this page, the senior described: To verify what would happen if the Human Clan and God Demon combined by essence, he took a risky move, deciding to personally enter the fray."
"First, he used a Secret Technique to trick a thread of Evil Fate Red Rope from [Red Rope God], then chose the Innate God Demon he liked the most, [Wood Mother], and while this god was asleep, he used the red rope to tie her, and when she awoke, intending to devour him, she was tainted by the red rope, dragging senior Gui Cangzi's essence beneath her, and it took ten years, before the senior was completely drained, finally giving birth to a new clan [Demon Person]."
"Unfortunately, though this clan inherited the divinity of Wood Mother and the extraordinary power of the Demon Sect, they naturally lacked heart and were arrogant and rebellious, intending to kill Wood Mother and Gui Cangzi as soon as they were born, only to be swallowed whole by Wood Mother and refined into a [Great Compassionate Wood Mother Spirit Pill], returned to senior Gui Cangzi to restore his essence blood and cultivation."
"Senior Gui Cangzi intended to stay in the Secret Realm for a few more years to create more clans, but [Red Rope God] is of lower status than Wood Mother, and as soon as the ten-year period was over, the Evil Fate Red Rope lost its effect, and Wood Mother subsequently expelled Gui Cangzi."
"Gui Cangzi has committed plenty of such reckless acts."
Tao Qian's words seemed to remind Yuan Gong as well.
