Chapter 103: Clouds Part, Moon Shines, White Frost Worms

"Disappeared?!"

"You mean Ancestral Master Ling Cong disappeared out of thin air?"

As they were chatting, they brought up Ancestral Master Ling Cong.

After all, Ancestral Master Ling Cong was a true disciple of Sea Horizon Pavilion.

This matter was not a secret on Spirit Turtle Island.

Obviously, Lu Qingchan might know more about it.

She nodded, "There are records in Sea Horizon Pavilion's books. Five hundred years ago, on Horizon Gazing Cliff, dark clouds covered the moon. Ancestral Master Ling Cong used a time-slashing blade to cut through the clouds, triggering the phenomenon of 'Clouds Part, Moon Shines.' Afterward, he shattered the void and disappeared."

"Five hundred years ago...!"

Fu Ning, Senior Sister A Hua, and Qian Mingyuan exchanged glances.

Five hundred years ago was when Spirit Turtle Island was founded, and the Small Scenic Garden of the Three Mountains had just been established.

Indeed, Ancestral Master Ling Cong left Spirit Turtle Island at that time and there had been no news of him since.

Thus, it coincided with the records on Spirit Turtle Island.

"But why did he disappear out of thin air?"

Lu Qingchan coughed lightly, and a strand of green hair fell in front of her forehead, covering one eye.

"Because 'Clouds Part, Moon Shines' is a phenomenon of the Dao of Space. Legend has it that after it is triggered, one can enter 'Cloud City'."

Every kind of phenomenon of the Dao of Space is a passage to another space, a Secret Realm.

For example, the faint true meaning of the Dao of Space hidden in 'Dragon Breaths, Rivers Form' might be able to enter the 'Ever-changing Sea'.

The phenomenon of 'Clouds Part, Moon Shines' is similar, but it leads to 'Cloud City'.

"Cloud City?!"

Fu Ning widened his eyes. This was the second time he had heard of it.

The last time was when Senior Brother Baiyun passed on White Cloud to him before he closed his door.

Now that he thought about it, the old man must have known about the rumors of Ancestral Master Ling Cong long ago because he was determined to unravel the secrets of White Cloud.

"Are you saying that Ancestral Master Ling Cong went to Cloud City?"

"The book... indeed says so."

"Cough cough~"

After a bout of coughing, Lu Qingchan weakly leaned against the head of the bed, appearing much weaker in her response.

It should be noted that when Ancestral Master Ling Cong ventured into the phenomenon of 'Dragon Breaths, Rivers Form' back then, he was already at the peak of the 'Grand Grotto-Heaven' realm. Even so, he was seriously injured.

And she had just stepped into the realm of 'Great Yellow Courtyard'. Even with the help of the Wind-stabilizing Bead, she would not be able to withstand the residual power of the phenomenon. It was far beyond what a Scenic Scholar could bear.

Seeing her like this, the three of them couldn't bear to continue questioning and bid farewell before leaving together.

Before leaving, Fu Ning left her a 'Origin Returning Pill'.

The most precious thing about the 'Origin Returning Pill' was that it contained Innate Origin Qi, which was very helpful for recovering from injuries.

After leaving the room, Qian Mingyuan left the mountain first due to his duty of patrolling.

However, Fu Ning did not leave immediately because he had another purpose for coming to White Mountain, which was to observe the phenomenon of White Mountain.

Just like Fu Ning, Yun Niang had been fond of seclusion since she came up the mountain.

Unfortunately, she happened to be in a critical moment of evolving her second Inner Scenic Diagram.

"Without Yun Niang's help, I don't know what outrageous demands Senior Uncle White Lotus will make."

Thinking of Senior Uncle White Lotus's cold face, Fu Ning couldn't help but shudder.

After explaining their intentions to Senior Sister A Hua, the two of them went to the front hall together.

After waiting for a while, Fu Ning didn't get to see Senior Uncle White Lotus.

However, Senior Sister A Hua brought good news.

"Master has agreed."

"Huh?"

Fu Ning thought he was hearing things.

"Agreed? Without any conditions or tasks?"

Upon seeing Fu Ning's expression, Ah Nuo couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle, saying, "My master may seem cold on the outside, but she's actually warm-hearted. She's not as heartless as you think."

"My master said that the three mountains share the same breath, mutually confirming each other without any issues."

"If you feel guilty about it..."

Before Ah Nuo could finish her sentence, Fu Ning quickly interrupted, saying, "I can live with it, more than just live with it!"

The Small Scenic Garden of White Mountain, known as White Pond, is located halfway up the mountain.

As the frost and snow on the mountain melted, they flowed down and gathered into a pool at the mountain's waist.

This was the first time Fu Ning had seen it up close, and he couldn't help but be surprised.

"This is more than just a 'White Pond,' it's more like a 'White Lake.'"

Although it was called a "pond," it stretched as far as the eye could see, with waves of water that were much larger than an ordinary lake.

The "Pure Hibiscus" on the water's surface swayed gently, and the lotus leaves were covered in a layer of white fuzz, resembling a layer of white frost from a distance.

Beneath the lotus leaves, ripples formed and occasionally, the traces of "Ash Carp" swimming by could be seen, creating ripples that spread out in circles, with sparkling bubbles inside.

White mountains, white water, white flowers, white fish, white shores, white bridges.

"Hello, Senior Sister."

Along the way, many disciples of White Mountain came forward to pay their respects.

Ah Nuo was a direct disciple of the White Lotus Scenic Master, and her status was not on par with the palace on Red Mountain.

The two walked along the embankment and soon arrived at a wooden bridge.

At the end of the wooden bridge was a small dock.

Several small boats floated on the water's surface, giving the impression of a tranquil ink painting from a distance.

Ah Nuo waved her hand gently, and a small boat broke through the water's surface and arrived in front of them.

Ah Nuo picked up an oar and smiled, saying, "Junior Brother, I rarely row a boat for others."

"I am honored, Fu Ning."

To observe the wonders of White Mountain, unlike Red Mountain, there was no need for a full moon or hiding. All that was needed was to travel on the water, feed the fish bait.

This was much more elegant than poisoning with carrots.

Once they boarded the small boat, Fu Ning took out a small porcelain bottle from his pocket.

Inside the bottle was the fish bait he had prepared earlier, called "White Frost Worm."

This "White Frost Worm" was completely white, and it thrived in cold environments. It was usually found in frosty areas and was not only a medicinal herb but also the favorite bait of the "Ash Carp."

The one in Fu Ning's hand, well, it was just picked up by Greedy Toad.

Splash!

The small boat broke through the water's surface and headed towards the center of the lake.

The further they went, the more lotus leaves covered the water's surface, and the more active the fish swimming in the water became.

However, in the time it took to brew a cup of tea, Ah Nuo put away the oar, and the boat came to a stop amidst the cluster of lotus leaves.

Ripples spread out in circles from the bottom of the boat, getting farther and farther away.

The ripples passed by, causing the lotus leaves to sway.

Unfortunately, the blooming period of the Pure Hibiscus had passed, and White Pond lacked its delicate fragrance.

Fu Ning glanced at Ah Nuo, and she nodded, saying, "It's time."

Upon hearing this, Fu Ning opened the porcelain bottle directly and poured the "White Frost Worms" onto the lotus leaves.

Plop!

This "White Frost Worm" was only the size of a pinky finger, but its body was very plump. Rather than calling it a worm, it looked more like a silkworm.

It naturally loved the cold and emitted a cold aura. As soon as it landed on the lotus leaf, a layer of white dew formed.

As the lotus leaf swayed, the "White Frost Worm" wriggled its body and began to explore the veins of the lotus leaf, sticking its head into the water.

Having lived on the ground all its life, the "White Frost Worm" was unaware of the existence of fish in the world.

Soon, it reached the edge of the lotus leaf and stuck its head out towards the water's surface.

The reflection in the water also moved accordingly.
