I Have A Dual World Seal-Chapter 807: Taohua Temple’s New Look

"Whoosh!"

"You're back!"

Lu Zheng pushed the door open and stepped out, looking at the dense persimmon trees in the backyard. He took a deep breath of fresh air, savoring the warmth of the summer sun.

"Feels great!"

After returning from the Dragon Palace, he spent some time at home, and some time at Wansong Mountain. Saintess Zhilan had also guided Du Yueyao for over a month. Later, she went to Weizhou. Several months had passed, and the weather had transitioned into summer.

Lu Zheng sensed around and detected Liu Qingyan and Du Yueyao were at Renxin Hall. So, after greeting Uncle Li, he leisurely headed out and soon arrived at the medical shop.

"Young Master Lu is back?"

During the summer, there are fewer patients. At that time, there wasn't a single patient at Renxin Hall. Liu Qingyan was discussing medical skills with Du Yueyao, while Elder Liu was lazily fanning himself on a lounge chair, occasionally chiming in.

It had to be said that Du Yueyao's medical skills had greatly improved, even to the point of engaging in discussions with Liu Qingyan. Coupled with the enhancements from "Su Nu's Prayer Method," claiming to start a sect or become a grandmaster might be an exaggeration, but she had indeed surpassed 70-80% of renowned mundane doctors.

Nevertheless, Du Yueyao had no intention of leaving Renxin Hall.

Both Liu Qingyan and Du Yueyao approached to welcome Lu Zheng into the medical shop, serving him tea.

"Thank you!" Lu Zheng expressed his gratitude, then looked at the two of them and asked, "No patients at the shop, and you're just staying here?"

Du Yueyao chuckled, "We have an appointment with Sister Shen to visit the hot springs this afternoon."

"Oh? Really?"

"Yes, since you're here, let's all go together," Liu Qingyan said, smiling with her eyes curved. It had been a long time since she last visited the hot springs with Lu Zheng.

"Sure," Lu Zheng nodded.

"By the way," Liu Qingyan asked, "Do you have any spare swimsuits?"

"Yes, why?"

"Give a few to Sect Leader Si. We originally planned for her to temporarily wear Sister Shen's, but since you're back, we should get her some new ones," Liu Qingyan suggested.

"Oh, sure, no problem!" Lu Zheng agreed readily.

The Hundred Springs Valley hot springs visit was a regular event for them. Lu Zheng had previously distributed swimsuits broadly. Du Yueyao, Wang Xiaowan, and even several women from the Five Beauties Manor each got one. There were still some left in the gourd, so there was no shortage.

"Honestly, having a storage Dharma Artifact is so convenient. Even things not used for years can be readily retrieved," Lu Zheng mused.

"Are we going to Peach Blossom Plain for lunch?"

Liu Qingyan nodded, "Xiaowan and Xiaoqian will also be there."

Lu Zheng raised an eyebrow, "A big gathering, then! Are the ladies from the Five Beauties Manor coming too?"

Liu Qingyan couldn't help but laugh, "They and Miss Bi often visit the Hundred Springs Valley to bathe, so we didn't specifically invite them."

"True," Lu Zheng nodded.

Compared to Liu Qingyan, the ladies from the Five Beauties Manor and the two women with Bi Xinyu were indeed idle demons all the time.

In fact, Shen Ying was the same before. Well, she seems to still be.

As they chatted, Wang Xiaowan and Yi Xiaoqian arrived hand in hand.

"Senior Brother!"

"Young Master Lu!"

"Brother Ning didn't come?" Lu Zheng asked with a smile.

Yi Xiaoqian chuckled, "Ning Lang went to the County Government Office early, unlike Young Master Lu who is so carefree."

"Tell him to enjoy life more; the work is endless," said Lu Zheng, the leisurely one, advising a hardworking civil servant.

Yi Xiaoqian couldn't help but laugh and nodded repeatedly, "Alright, I'll tell him when I get back!"

The other women laughed, and Liu Qingyan added playfully, "Lu Lang, Young Master Ning has a bright future. Don't mess around."

Lu Zheng rolled his eyes, "Messing around? I'm giving sincere advice here."

"Oh, yes, yes!" Du Yueyao mimicked Lu Zheng, "Everything you say is right!"

Lu Zheng, "..."

Alright, he couldn't match their selfless spirit.

"Are we leaving now?" Lu Zheng checked the time. It was already mid-9 a.m., probably around ten in the morning.

"Since there's nothing else to do, let's go," Liu Qingyan decided.

And so, the group bid farewell to Elder Liu and, together with Lu Zheng, left Renxin Hall, heading towards the South Gate of the county.

They exited the city gate, used a blinding technique, and sped towards Peach Blossom Plain.

"So many people!" Yi Xiaoqian exclaimed.

The sky was clear, with white clouds drifting by.

It was summertime, with flowers in full bloom.

Peach Blossom Plain was carpeted with pink peach blossoms, covering the hills.

Tourists were everywhere, shoulder to shoulder.

Especially at Taohua Temple behind Peach Blossom Plain, with incense smoke curling, forming a smoky cloud above Peach Blossom Plain.

Such scenes were typically only seen at big Buddhist temples, Daoist high observatories, or top-tier City God Temples.

"No wonder Sister Shen's cultivation is advancing by leaps and bounds. With such an incense cloud, any ordinary demons or devils coming here would be sitting ducks!" Wang Xiaowan said, looking up in awe.

"Chirp, chirp!"

The group looked up to see a troop of monkeys flitting through the peach trees. Two little monkeys playfully came to a nearby peach tree, chirping at them.

"These little monkeys aren't afraid of people," Wang Xiaowan said curiously.

Lu Zheng patted his gourd, took out two apples, and tossed one to a monkey, "Because they have backing."

The two little monkeys swiftly snatched the apples.

"Crunch! Crunch!"

The juicy, crispy Red Fuji apples made their eyes light up. Clutching the apples, they swiftly dashed away.

Soon, a small, slender figure darted in.

"Young Master Lu! Miss Liu!"

Short in stature and carrying a metal staff, agile like a willow catkin.

It was Hou Ping.

After greeting Du Yueyao and the others, Hou Ping asked, "How come you're visiting the Taohua Temple today, Sir?"

"Just following the tourists; you can leave us be," Lu Zheng replied.

"Alright, alright." Hou Ping nodded repeatedly.

Then, looking back, they saw two figures emerging from behind a peach tree not far away. It was Shen Ying and Si Lingxi.

"Lu Lang is back!" Shen Ying greeted with a smile.

"I am," Lu Zheng nodded.

Si Lingxi stood by, thoughtfully glancing at Lu Zheng.

"We were also out for a walk," Shen Ying said. "Since we hadn't seen my Taohua Temple before, we decided to drop by."

After sending Hou Ping on his way, they strolled towards Taohua Temple together.

All had some Dao practice and used a blinding technique, ensuring they didn't affect each other, while ordinary folks naturally overlooked them.

Taohua Temple had seen flourishing incense in recent years. The county allocated funds for its maintenance and even expansion annually. Though its name remained Taohua Temple, it had become quite a sizable temple. Besides the main hall's Peach Blossom Fairy statue, the side halls even honored the Eighteen Celestial Maidens.

Moreover, at the feet of the main hall's Peach Blossom Fairy, there was now a Flower-Bearing Maid statue.
