Chapter 340: Bodhi Golden Cicada, Core Formation Accepting Disciples!

Thousands of miles of clear skies, as blue as washed.

A spirit boat, emanating a deep blue glow, was flying swiftly through the sky.

Lu Miaoge, with her hair elegantly coiffed high, her face beautiful and serene, was wearing a snow-white dress, dignified in manners, as she steered the spirit boat.

On the boat sat several young boys and girls, ranging from five or six to about ten years old.

“Aunty, how much longer till we get there?”

A young boy around eleven or twelve, with a handsome face and bright red lips, dressed in a green shirt, asked Lu Miaoge.

“Qingshan, in three or four days we’ll arrive,”

Upon hearing Lu Qingshan’s question, Lu Miaoge’s beautiful and gentle face revealed a faint smile as she spoke softly.

“Three or four days, huh,”

Lu Qingshan, upon hearing this, immediately made an exaggerated display of weariness.

He then looked over at his younger sister, Lu Qingzhu.

He pinched her little cheek and said, “Come on, little Zhu, tell your brother a story.”

Lu Qingzhu was dressed in a pink and white jacket and skirt, carved like jade, very pretty and adorable.

Especially her pair of sparkling large eyes, that shined like crystals.

When she heard what her older brother said, she tilted her head and asked obediently, “What story do you want to hear, brother?”

“Hmm… how about a tale where Qingshan the Sword Immortal travels with his sister, slays demons, and finds treasures,”

Lu Qingshan thought for a moment and then spoke.

He took the golden hamster from his sister’s hands and began kneading it.

Making the Earth Spirit Mouse squeak in his hands.

“Still calling yourself Qingshan the Sword Immortal, brother, you’re shameless,”

Lu Qingsong, who was nearby, immediately said with a look of disdain upon hearing what Lu Qingshan had said.

“Pfft, ever since the day I held a sword, I knew that I am destined to be a peerless Sword Immortal in the future,”

“So show some respect to Qingshan the Sword Immortal!”

Lu Qingshan knocked on his younger brother’s forehead and stood with his hands on his hips, looking like a mischievous little devil.

“Lu Qingshan, keep your voice down, you woke up little Wangshu!”

A girl around fifteen or sixteen, upon seeing the child in her arms awakened by the noise, immediately spoke up, none too pleased.

“Oh, oh, oh, don’t cry, don’t cry.”

The girl immediately started to comfort Lu Wangshu, urging her not to cry.

But for a child of that age, abruptly woken from sleep, it isn’t that easy to be soothed.

“Xiu’er, hand Wangshu to me,”

Seeing this scene, Lu Miaoge immediately said with a tender expression, taking Lu Wangshu into her arms.

Due to Lu Changsheng and Xiao Xiyue’s circumstances, Lu Wangshu was mostly cared for by her.

She practically treated Lu Wangshu as if she were her own daughter.

The crying Lu Wangshu, once in the arms of Lu Miaoge, stopped crying immediately and called out milkily for her mother.

“You must all be tired and hungry by now, let’s rest a bit and have something to eat,”

Lu Miaoge comforted Lu Wangshu and looked at the children on the spirit boat, speaking softly.

The journey from Qingzhu Mountain to Green River Marketplace was long.

This kind of travel, for the children, was very monotonous and exhausting.

So, after covering a certain distance, she would let the children rest and relax a bit.

“Yay!”

Lu Qingshan heard this and his face immediately lit up with happiness.

He was naturally lively and active on any regular day.

This long journey had been quite unbearable for him.

As the Spirit Boat descended from the sky,

Lu Qingshan looked at the Earth Spirit Mouse in his hand, gave it a couple of squeezes, and said out loud, “Xiao Jin, quick, look around, are there any treasures nearby?”

“Brother, do you really think treasures are just lying around for the picking?”

“Mom told me that those Spirit Stones you picked up before were deliberately placed outside by Aunt Yun for you to find,”

“And you were foolishly happy for days.”

Lu Qingsong said to his older brother with a face full of disdain.

“If you don’t speak, no one will think you’re mute!”

Lu Qingshan replied irritably.

He muttered to himself, “That can’t be right, according to the stories, the protagonist always finds treasures when they go out.”

“My dad went out and found Xiao Hei, Xiao Jin, Da Qing, and the golden potato; how come I can’t find anything!”

A look of dissatisfaction appeared on Lu Qingshan’s face as he rubbed the Earth Spirit Mouse in his hands even more vigorously.

Just then, the Earth Spirit Mouse in his hand sniffed around and ‘chirp chirp chirped’ at Lu Qingshan, while its two little paws pointed in a direction.

“Hmm? Xiao Jin, are you saying there’s a treasure up ahead?”

Seeing the Earth Spirit Mouse’s actions, Lu Qingshan’s eyes immediately shone.

He excitedly turned to Lu Miaoge and shouted, “Auntie, Auntie, Xiao Jin says there’s a treasure here!”

“Treasure?”

Lu Miaoge was somewhat surprised.

She hadn’t expected there to actually be a treasure in the vicinity.

But if the Earth Spirit Mouse said there was, then there certainly was.

She said affectionately and indulgently, “Alright, since there’s a treasure, let’s go and have a look.”

Immediately, she steered the Spirit Boat slowly in the direction the Earth Spirit Mouse was pointing.

“It’s right here.”

Once the Spirit Boat stopped, Lu Qingshan said with a face full of excitement and anticipation.

Then he turned to Lu Qingzhu and said, “Qingzhu, don’t worry, even though encountering this treasure is due to my good luck, Xiao Jin also played a part, so you get half of the treasure!”

After saying that, he cast a disdainful glance at Lu Qingsong and said, “Lu Qingsong, there’s nothing for you, just be envious!”

“Lu Qingshan, you haven’t even found the treasure yet, so don’t speak too soon,”

Lu Qingsong said, refusing to accept defeat.

“Tsk, just be envious.”

Lu Qingshan, pulling Lu Qingzhu, jumped agilely off the Spirit Boat.

Then he tossed the Earth Spirit Mouse into the air and shouted, “Go on, Xiao Jin!”

“Qingshan, be careful,”

Lu Miaoge, holding Lu Wangshu, called out to Lu Qingshan.

Holding several Talismans in her hands, she steered the Spirit Boat closely behind Lu Qingshan.

Even with the Earth Spirit Mouse’s guidance, treasure hunting could be unpredictable and dangerous.

It wasn’t long before,

the Earth Spirit Mouse arrived beside a large boulder, pointing at a pale golden bamboo shoot that had just sprouted.

“Is this the treasure?”
