Chapter 87 Qinglian Sword Immortal

"The great immortal is so honest that I feel embarrassed."

Qin Jun pretended to be modest and said, making Tai Bai Jin Xing twitch at the corner of his mouth. He quickly changed the subject, saying, "I wonder where Your Highness is going. With me by your side, I will ensure smooth sailing for you!"

Truly a diplomat from the Heavenly Court, his words were sweet and sincere!

"With the help of the great immortal, I feel unstoppable!"

"Not at all, Your Highness is blessed, and in the future, there will definitely be more powerful allies to assist you."

"Adding flowers to brocade is not as good as timely help. When the great immortal assists me at a critical moment, it is worth more than a thousand times those future allies!"

"Your Highness is exaggerating. With the companions by Your Highness's side, not only in the Qianyue Kingdom, but even in the Southern Zhuo Dynasty, no one can harm Your Highness."

The two of them were shamelessly flattering each other, and Qin Jun controlled the misty clouds under his feet, flying towards Daji and the others, engaging in a battle of wits and tongues with Tai Bai Jin Xing. They didn't feel tired at all, but rather felt a surge of fighting spirit, finally meeting a kindred spirit.

"Young people are really formidable!"

Tai Bai Jin Xing sighed in his heart, but he didn't admit defeat. He praised Qin Jun to the skies, but Qin Jun, coming from the information explosion era of Earth, had countless jokes up his sleeve, and Tai Bai Jin Xing also greatly enjoyed the flattery.

Qin Jun also secretly marveled at Tai Bai Jin Xing's skill in flattery, and most importantly, no matter how much he praised, this old man didn't blush at all.

"By the way, does Tai Bai Jin Xing know Li Bai?" Qin Jun suddenly changed the subject.

Tai Bai Jin Xing's origins have many versions. Some people in the Huaxia of Earth say he is Laozi's brother, while others say he is Li Bai. In Journey to the West, Tai Bai Jin Xing is referred to as Li Changgeng, where Changgeng refers to Venus, and Li is the source of the misunderstanding.

Li Yangbing's "Caotang Collection Preface" wrote: "The beginning of the divine dragon, fleeing to Shu. Pointing to the Li tree and giving birth to Boyang, on the night of the surprise of Jiang, Changgeng entered the dream, so he was born and named Bai, and was given the title of Tai Bai. The world calls him the essence of Tai Bai, and he has obtained it."

Fan Chuanzheng also recorded: "When he was born, the Lord first pointed to the sky branch to change his surname, and the Lady dreamed of Changgeng and told the omen, so he was named and given the name Xian."

Historically, Li Bai's mother had dreamed of Tai Bai Jin Xing, so she named her son Li Bai, with the style name Tai Bai. In the Tang Dynasty, he was known as the "exiled immortal." Li Bai loved poetry and swordsmanship, so he was also known as the "poetic immortal" and "sword immortal." However, in Journey to the West, when Tai Bai Jin Xing helped Sun Wukong on his journey to the west, the Tang Dynasty had already been established, and Li Bai existed. The two are contradictory, but of course, Journey to the West is a novel, and it's hard to say who is real and who is fake. It's all a matter of opinion.

"How does Your Highness know my disciple Li Bai?" Tai Bai Jin Xing asked in surprise. This place was so far from overseas that ordinary people couldn't imagine it. If it weren't for Tai Bai Jin Xing's celestial cultivation, he wouldn't have been able to arrive in time.

"Do you really have a disciple named Li Bai?" Qin Jun was no longer calm. Could it be that the gods and demons summoned by the system had long existed in this world, but their memories were erased?

Tai Bai Jin Xing stroked his beard proudly and said, "Of course, my disciple Li Bai is extremely famous in the coastal areas of the southern region, known as the Green Lotus Sword Immortal!"

The Green Lotus Sword Immortal Li Bai!

Qin Jun's eyes lit up. It was indeed him. The poetic immortal Li Bai called himself the Green Lotus Hermit.

"Great immortal, can you summon your disciple as well? If I become emperor in the future, I will definitely grant an official title to your disciple!" Qin Jun rubbed his hands and chuckled. Li Bai was famously eager for official positions, and most of his poems expressed his worries about being unrecognized for his talents and being far from the court but still concerned about the country.

If it was about literature, Li Bai was definitely a great figure. If he were to hold an official position, Qin Jun couldn't guarantee it, but he was Tai Bai Jin Xing's disciple and was known as the Green Lotus Sword Immortal, so his cultivation was definitely not weak!

Tai Bai Jin Xing was suddenly in a dilemma and after thinking for a while, he politely refused, "My disciple has already left my tutelage. I cannot interfere with his will. I hope Your Highness will understand."

Alright!

What a kind teacher!

"Alright, then please pass a message to him. Whether he comes or not depends on him. My goal is to establish a divine court that surpasses heaven and earth!" Qin Jun said, taking a step back. He couldn't force it too much, lest it backfire.

Tai Bai Jin Xing had no choice but to agree and immediately waved his whisk. A white light swiftly disappeared at a speed that was imperceptible to the naked eye.

The abilities of celestial beings were truly amazing.

Qin Jun looked envious, but he didn't ask what kind of spell it was that allowed Tai Bai Jin Xing to invite Li Bai. This was already his biggest concession.

After all, there was still a long way to go!

...

"Old bald donkey, you don't know what's good for you!"

Daji's face was frosty as she spoke, and the Xingtian and Cang Jun Wolf beside her were glaring at Fahai. The guards surrounding them looked at each other and dared not speak up.

Jia Xun and Qin Yun were the same. They had been intimidated by Xuan Shang before, and now facing Xuan Shang's senior brother, they naturally dared not speak up.

Fahai remained indifferent and recited Buddhist scriptures, as if he had already decided on Daji and Xingtian.

Jia Xun and the others were extremely nervous. Whether it was Fahai, whose strength was unknown, or the two demon kings, they were all terrified.

After a stick of incense, Qin Jun finally returned, accompanied by a kind-looking old man.

"What's going on? The atmosphere seems a bit off?"

After landing, Lord Qin smiled and asked knowingly that something was amiss between Fahai and Daji, but he still asked.

Fahai's appearance sounded an alarm for him. In the future, such internal conflicts might occur again, so this time it must be handled well to prevent the gods and demons from acting recklessly.

Although they all served under Lord Qin, because he was too weak, if Daji and Xingtian were truly angered, Lord Qin wouldn't be able to stop them.

But fortunately, this time he summoned the White Tiger Star, which must intimidate them!

"Your Highness, demons cannot be trusted, especially demon kings. They are powerful, and if they have ill intentions, the consequences would be unimaginable!" Fahai spoke first, taking out his golden alms bowl as he spoke.

Lord Qin's mouth twitched. Indeed, Fahai from the Legend of the White Snake was quite old-fashioned.

"Hmph, how do we know that you have no ill intentions?" Daji sneered, causing Fahai's face to darken.

"Enough! Under my rule, you must not suspect each other. You have not interacted before, so how can you judge each other's character?" Lord Qin said displeased. Today, he must establish his authority, or it would be a hidden danger sooner or later.

"But they are demons..." Fahai hurriedly spoke, but was interrupted by the previously silent White Tiger Star: "Not so! All things have spirits, and humans have good and bad, let alone demons? You cannot generalize!"

"And who are you?" Fahai stared at the White Tiger Star and asked in a deep voice.

How could the illusory realm know the terror of the celestial realm?
