When the Great Dao Dies, I Remain; When Spiritual Energy Withers, I Endure

Amidst the envious gazes of many people, Li Changxiao went downstairs and walked towards the red boat moored by the river.

"Who is this person? I see that he is wearing a sword and drinking wine. I guess he is a famous Jianghu traveler. Does anyone know his name?"

"Humph, I am the great Liu Wei with seven wind legs. How could I lose to this unknown little man? I don't accept it! Why didn't Miss Longyue choose me!"

Various complaints were heard.

Some people also shouted to Li Changxiao: "Sir, I am willing to pay a thousand gold coins to exchange for your quota. Can I get on the boat and have a chat with Miss Longyue?"

Li Changxiao smiled and shook his head, and walked straight onto the boat.

The courtesan who was famous in Lingtian City gently closed the boat curtain to block the view, and then the boat continued to sail, gradually moving away from the crowd.

The noisy sound gradually faded away.

The boat was antique.

The courtesan, who was carefully dressed, smiled at Li Changxiao gently, stretched out her hand to lead him to a seat, and poured tea and water.

Li Changxiao observed this woman closely and understood why she was famous in Lingtian City.

She was good at singing, beautiful, and her slender legs were even more fascinating.

"Young Master, are you a cultivator?" Longyue said with a smile after Li Changxiao sat down.

Li Changxiao nodded. It was only three hundred years since the spiritual energy was exhausted, and there were still many cultivators. It was not surprising that they recognized each other.

"Speaking of which, you and I are actually half old friends." Longyue carefully made tea. Not only was she good at singing, but she was also good at tea art. Her movements were smooth and pleasing to the eye.

"Oh?"

This aroused Li Changxiao's curiosity.

"Young Master, do you still recognize this thing?" Longyue took out a bag of sachets and put it on the table.

Li Changxiao saw this thing and immediately shook his head and laughed, "Of course I remember."

At that time, he was in the deep palace and wanted to show his talents to attract his father's attention.

So he invented many things.

Crossbow, scent sachet, soap...

This scent sachet with the fragrance of hundreds of flowers is his work.

It seems that this woman has recognized his identity.

Li Changxiao felt a little melancholy.

He didn't expect that after nearly a thousand years, there would still be someone in Lingtian City who would remember him.

"When this item was first released, it was snatched by many sisters." Fairy Longyue chuckled.

Li Changxiao smiled freely, "They are just small items. There are a lot of scent sachets better than this one on the market now."

"That being said, I have always only used this one." Longyue smiled.

Li Changxiao couldn't help but wonder: "It seems that the young lady is also a cultivator, but I don't know one thing. How did the young lady recognize me?"

"Back in Lingtian City, I had never left the deep palace, and I was not well-known. Not to mention outside the deep palace, even the servants in the deep palace didn't know my name."

Miss Longyue's eyes showed a look of reminiscence, her eyes fell on the river, and she said leisurely: "It's almost winter."

"You left in winter that year, right?"

Longyue's words brought Li Changxiao's thoughts back.

That year, there was a general amnesty.

Li Changxiao should have returned to the position of prince, but someone interfered. For some unknown reason, he was demoted to a commoner and exiled 30,000 miles.

And it was chosen in winter.

The streets were empty and snowy at that time. Li Changxiao was hungry and cold, and he didn't even have a decent pair of shoes.

If he didn't have the Great Dream Immortal Body, he wouldn't have survived that winter.

Walking out of Lingtian City from the prison, he saw such a magnificent town for the first time.

Just as he was about to leave the city, he met a woman wrapped in a fox fur coat.

At that time, he only had a quick glance, and Li Changxiao lowered his head and hurried on his way.

Now thinking back, the appearance of the woman that day was very similar to the girl Longyue in front of him.

Unexpectedly, the quick glance that day actually laid the groundwork for today's meeting.

Li Changxiao asked, "You are the one from that day..."

Longyue pushed the prepared tea in front of Li Changxiao and nodded gently, "Yes."

"Why?" Li Changxiao asked, "It should be a thousand years, why do you still remember me, an unknown person?"

"Because I used your sachet." Longyue said truthfully, "I was curious and wanted to take a look."

Suddenly, she smiled, "Sir, can you tell me about your experiences outside these years? I have never left since I came to Lingtian City."

"What's there to say about those trivial things." Li Changxiao shook his head and looked at Longyue, "Besides, I am a guest, it shouldn't be me who listens, Miss Longyue who should tell?"

Longyue said helplessly, "In that case, what do you want to hear?"

Li Changxiao's eyes were deep, "Let's talk about the big and small things in Lingtian City."

...

The next day.

The red boat docked.

Li Changxiao searched all over Lingtian City and finally found an inn with two empty rooms left.

It was just a little expensive, so he thought about it and discussed with the merchant whether he could use a beautiful dream to offset the price.

The merchant sneered and was about to get angry, so Li Changxiao hurriedly took out the silver. When the merchant saw it, he immediately smiled again.

He finally settled down and fell asleep as soon as he entered the room. He slept until noon the next day. After waking up, he just drank and wandered around.

Half a month passed.

As the Centennial Celebration was getting closer.

More and more people came to Lingtian City, including Jianghu people, merchants, farmers, and even practitioners.

There was a faint feeling of wind and rain gathering.

As a popular courtesan, Longyue appeared in Hongzhoufang every few days to play a little song.

It was just that no one could get on the red boat for the next few times.

That was true. She was a cultivator, so how could she look down on those ordinary people?

Lifespan alone was an insurmountable barrier.

The joy of morning and night was already the ultimate.

The night before the centenary celebration.

A spirit bird flew to Li Changxiao's room with a letter tied to its claws.

It was written by Longyue, saying that she wanted to talk with Li Changxiao tonight.

Li Changxiao arrived as promised. This time, the two of them took an inconspicuous gray boat and wandered in Lingtian River.

Breeze, bright moon, lonely boat, two people.

Longyue seemed to be more relaxed and told Li Changxiao that her real name was not Longyue, but Fu Tao. Longyue changed her name after coming to Lingtian City.

She also told Li Changxiao that the reason why she liked the sachet he made was because it was very similar to the fragrance of a kind of Baiyou flower.

During the conversation between the two.

A cannon shot up into the sky, and with a bang, it turned into a sky full of sparks.

Li Changxiao sat at the bow, holding the Qingping sword, drinking wine, staring blankly at the fireworks, and said nothing.

The surface of the Lingtian River reflected the lights of thousands of houses.

But inside, undercurrents surged.

Fu Tao looked dazed, not knowing what she was thinking. She just asked Li Changxiao for a glass of wine, drank it in one gulp, and her eyes widened.

"It doesn't taste good." She said, "I've never drunk such bitter wine."

...

The next day.

The centenary celebration began.

The whole country was jubilant, and the people could rarely rest for three days, killing chickens and sheep.

There was also an event launched by the tavern, and the one with the largest alcohol tolerance would get a free meal directly!

Li Changxiao had been waiting for this event for a long time, and had been waiting at the door of the hotel early. As soon as the door opened, he rushed in and picked all those expensive drinks.

The boss thought it was the winery across the street, who deliberately invited them to mess up the scene.

Hundreds of civil and military officials, three thousand concubines, and the current emperor took a royal exclusive ship to enjoy the Lingtian River.

It is rumored that this imperial ship was once an incredible magic weapon that could fly into the sky and into the ground, and could even kill cultivators in the refining period!

Unfortunately, as the spiritual energy was exhausted, the formation failed and it became an ordinary ship. However, when it sailed on the Lingtian River, it still gave people an incomparable sense of shock.

The Lingtian River is 700 meters wide, and the imperial ship is like a behemoth. Countless people watched on both sides of the river.

The people-friendly officials smiled and greeted both sides.

The current emperor stood at the bow, his robes fluttering, and his dragon power was mighty.

On such a festive day, there is naturally no lack of entertainment programs.

Longyue's song "Qushui Lanting" is very famous. She was specially invited to board the imperial ship and perform in front of hundreds of civil and military officials, three thousand concubines, and countless people on both sides.

Of course, it was the finale.
