Finally, Lin Wan took a day off.

Because by the afternoon, Lu Zheng saw she was really struggling, so while she was in the moment of swirling Qi and blood, with her Divine Soul drifting, he gave her the "Three Elements Rejuvenation Pill" and the "Reishi Divine Pill", and helped her dissolve the medicinal power.

These two elixirs were not simple; even if they were mild, Lin Wan had to retreat and absorb them until past midnight when she finally woke.

As she opened her eyes, she saw Lu Zheng's silhouette by her side, and then...

...

The clothes of Flame Spirit and Bibi Dong finally came in handy.

It must be said that the quality of domestic clothes is indeed quite good these days; without Lu Zheng exerting any force, the clothes didn't get torn.

...

Early in the morning, after seeing Lin Wan off, Lu Zheng stretched his muscles and bones, and then saw Si Lingxi sitting in front of the nearly ten-meter floor-to-ceiling window of his large balcony, painting.

"Oil painting?" Lu Zheng's eyes widened.

Si Lingxi smiled faintly, "I saw some Western oil paintings online lately, and found them quite intriguing, so I thought I'd give it a try myself."

"Impressive!"

Lu Zheng approached and looked over from behind her, seeing on her painting board a city sunrise painting. The red sun had just peeked out from the clouds, with light and darkness converging within the city. Amidst the changes in light and shadow, it was as if you were there, experiencing the transition of mood from oppression to openness.

Oh wow! An oil painting with a sense of Mental Realm!

"Is this your first time painting with oils?"

Si Lingxi smiled slightly, "Yes, what do you think?"

Lu Zheng reached out, wrapped his arms around Si Lingxi's slim waist from behind, rested his chin on her jade shoulder, and playfully said, "I think you should paint a phoenix within the sun."

"I'm not a three-legged golden crow."

Si Lingxi was slightly tickled by the breeze when Lu Zheng spoke near her ear, and she turned slightly away, smiling faintly, "Is there anything going on today?"

"Nothing at all?" Lu Zheng replied, feeling a slight sense of foreboding rising within him.

"Since there's nothing going on, why don't you join me in painting?" Si Lingxi turned, smiled, and said, "Let's make an oil painting together."

Lu Zheng, "..."

This morning, Liu Qingyan and Shen Ying had already returned to Great Jing, and Lin Wan had gone to work too. Now, it was just Lu Zheng and Si Lingxi left.

"Alright!" Lu Zheng nodded resolutely, "Where should we go?"

"If you've seen the Five Mountains there's no need to see any others, if you've seen Huang Mountain you need not visit other mountains, so let's go to Huang Mountain?" Si Lingxi suggested, "To be honest, I haven't properly toured domestically yet."

Lu Zheng nodded, "That's easy enough; we have plenty of time, nothing much to do, we should travel around more. I thought you might be tired of seeing mountains and seas already."

Si Lingxi shook her head gently, "Mountains change daily, as do our hearts, hence each time viewing mountains brings different discoveries and insights."

Is this the realm of the masters? Lu Zheng admitted he hadn't reached that level himself, but...

Lu Zheng thought for a moment and earnestly said, "I think the most important thing is who you're seeing them with."

Si Lingxi couldn't help but smile, her eyes showing a hint of amusement, leaned back into Lu Zheng's embrace, "Carry me to Huang Mountain."

...

If you're just an ordinary person, a girl asking you to carry her princess-style up to Huang Mountain, she must be looking to kill you.

But if you're an immortal, and a girl asks you to carry her princess-style Cloud Riding to Huang Mountain, then it's quite romantic.

A three-thousand-year-old girl is still a girl.

Lu Zheng carried Si Lingxi, and they Cloud Rode westward, quickly reaching the Huang Mountain Scenic Area, then descended from the clouds, undoing the Invisibility Technique, seamlessly blending into a crowd of tourists, all without being noticed.

"This is Bright Summit, one of Huang Mountain's three major peaks; it's also the largest main peak. Watching sunrises at Huang Mountain is done at Bright Summit," Lu Zheng stated.

Si Lingxi nodded, glancing around. Although the sunrise time had long passed, there were still many people at Bright Summit.

Lu Zheng said, "Luckily, it's neither a holiday nor a weekend; otherwise, Huang Mountain would truly be overcrowded. It's much better than the last time I came during summer break."

Si Lingxi laughed, "I've seen the photos; let's go take a look at the Welcoming Pine."

"That's Huang Mountain's signature." Lu Zheng nodded, "The Welcoming Pine is to the south; we can wander over there. By the way, I'm not sure which peak of Huang Mountain is open today."

Si Lingxi looked at Lu Zheng, not understanding his meaning.

"Huang Mountain's Lotus Peak and Celestial City Peak are opened every five years alternately to protect the ecology," Lu Zheng explained.

Si Lingxi nodded, "That's thoughtful."

Lu Zheng raised an eyebrow, "But it's convenient for us; we can go to the unopened peak and paint without being disturbed."

Then the two leisurely toured around.

They walked past Sea Heart Pavilion, viewed Ao Fish Cave, passed through Skyline, reached the Hundred-Step Cloud Ladder, and finally bypassed Lotus Peak to come to Jade Screen Peak to see the Welcoming Pine.

Along the way, Lu Zheng's phone never stopped snapping, capturing many beautiful photos of Si Lingxi.

"It does look exactly like it does in the videos." Si Lingxi, seeing the Welcoming Pine, nodded in praise, "It's indeed grown like this, quite beautiful."

Getting a nod of approval from Si Lingxi was truly not easy. Not to mention how Phoenix Mountain has many peculiar pines and stones, just to say on Wansong Daoist's turf, there were plenty of ancient and unique pines, some of which were exquisite in both form and spirit.

Yet despite this, the elegant posture of Huang Mountain's Welcoming Pine could still hold its ground on Wansong Mountain.

Si Lingxi took out her phone, snapped a photo, and smiled faintly, "I'll develop this later and show the old pine."

Lu Zheng, "..."

Past the Welcoming Pine, they reached Celestial City Peak.

Coincidentally, Huang Mountain's closed peak for rest was Celestial City Peak at this time, and the entrance leading to Celestial City Peak had been blocked off.

Lu Zheng and Si Lingxi exchanged a knowing smile, holding hands as they took a step forward, and then their figures faded away amidst the crowd, stepping tens of meters forward to reach a place on the climb to Celestial City Peak where tourists couldn't see them, without attracting any attention.

"Let's go."

Lu Zheng held Si Lingxi's hand as they journeyed forward.

Needless to say, Celestial City Peak was touted as Huang Mountain's most perilous, and not without reason; they hadn't walked far before reaching cliffs, a place where most people's legs would definitely weaken.

A seventy-degree steep slope, with one side being an abyssal cliff, and the guardrails not even knee-high. In places like this, most people climb up.

Thankfully, Lu Zheng and Si Lingxi were not most people; as they traversed great stones, crossing sites like Hundred-Step Cloud Ladder, Carp Back, Squirrel Jump Celestial City and others, they finally, with agile steps, reached the summit of Celestial City Peak.
