Looking at the back of the old cow lying at the entrance of the cave, he thought it was time to ask the blue bird.

It can't always go on like this, right?

Twenty-three years have passed since Da Yu started trading until he is now in this cave.

After entering the Southern Cultivation World, he has never deprived Lan Que of various resources.

Presumably after such a long time, Lan Que's injuries from breaking through the black cauldron have gradually improved, and there is no danger of dissipating at any time.

So it's time to solve Lao Niu's problem. No matter whether Lao Niu is still alive or not, he has to ask.

In the past, I was running around all day long, either running away or trying to find ways to practice, and there was no fixed place at all.

Now that I have found the cave in Wuyu Mountain, it is finally a place where I can practice with peace of mind.

Then it’s time to solve the things that should be solved.

If the old cow has really disappeared, then it is not lucky that he will not be with him until the end.

Taking a deep breath, Xiao Ling took the black tripod out of the storage bag and placed it in front of him, and said softly:

"Lanque, come out and have a chat!"

There was no response from the black cauldron for a long time. Finally, after a stick of incense passed, a large cloud of smoke suddenly appeared from the black cauldron.

The smoke slowly condensed into the blue bird's appearance in mid-air, looking at him quietly.

It had been many years since I had seen the blue bird's spirit body. When I saw it again, the blue bird's spirit body was more solidified and no longer dissipated like before.

Apparently the blue bird's injury has recovered well over the years, at least it has stopped getting worse.

Of course, it is definitely not something he can do now if he wants to fully recover from his injury.

Lan Que must have been at a very high level before, but his current level of cultivation is hard to match. It would be impossible to help Lan Que recover from his injuries.

We can only take a step at a time and see if there are elixirs or spiritual materials that are useful for Lan Que's injuries in the future.

The Blue Bird's help to him over the years can be said to be incomparable, allowing him to step by step from an ignorant novice to where he is today.

In order to reach a consensus with Lan Que, he refused to give in and threatened Lan Que's imminent disappearance, which allowed the two to successfully reach a deal.

At that time, the two of them were still at odds with each other, but they never imagined that so many years would pass by.

"Boy, what do you mean by asking the ancestor to come out and not saying anything?"

After Lan Que came out of the black cauldron and saw that Xiao Ling had not spoken for a long time, he finally couldn't help but ask.

Xiao Ling slowly retracted his thoughts and glanced at the blue bird floating in the air.

"I see that your spirit body is basically stable. There should be no danger of dissipating again, right?"

Upon hearing this, Lan Que glanced at Xiao Ling suspiciously, "Boy, you have something to say."

"After all these years, my ancestor still doesn't understand you?"

"My ancestor is well aware of his injuries and will tell you if necessary."

Xiao Ling was silent for a moment and then said softly:

"Since you are no longer in danger of disappearing, let's talk about Lao Niu!"

"Is Lao Niu still there?"

The smoke that formed the blue bird shook and deformed for a while, but soon returned to its original shape.

"Well, have you been discovered?"

"I knew I would let you kid know one day, but I didn't expect you to see it so quickly."

"If I had known it, I wouldn't have done it so obviously in the past. It's a pity that ancestors don't show off, otherwise how could you find out?"

Xiao Ling was too lazy to argue with Lan Que about whether he could find it. He just wanted to know whether Lao Niu was still there.

If Lao Niu had died in the courtyard of the Imperial Palace, then he had no other choice.

If there is still a chance...

So this was also the reason why he called out the blue bird, wanting to ask Lao Niu what was going on.

Seeing that Xiao Ling was still waiting for his reply, Lan Que was silent for a moment before saying:

"That cow is really too old!"

"And the time to enter cultivation is too short!"

Lan Que stopped talking after saying this, but Xiao Ling immediately understood the meaning behind his words.

A flash of enlightenment flashed in his eyes. When he saw Lao Niu enter the demon realm in a short period of time, he also lamented the speed of his cultivation.

Unexpectedly, I didn't escape the disaster in the end, and it was my fate!

But before he could feel sad, he heard the blue bird continue:

"You were really too deceptive back then, and I didn't know whether you were trustworthy or not."

"So in order to find a way out for himself, the ancestor focused on this old cow with a weak soul."

"There's nothing wrong with turning into a cow. It's better than disappearing into thin air."

At this moment, Lan Que's words were full of indifference, as if he really didn't care about entering the body of a cow.

"So the ancestor put a lot of effort into forcibly imprisoning the old cow's soul, keeping it from dissipating for the time being, and then took over the body."

"We both belong to the demon clan. Although our bodies were a bit repulsive after being occupied by the ancestors, they were still suppressed by the ancestors. It's just that the time of activity was shorter."

Xiao Ling was dumbfounded when he heard this. No wonder Lao Niu had been relatively quiet since Dayu came out. He basically always found a place to lie down when he came out.

It turns out that the blue bird is suppressing the repulsiveness of the old cow's body?

So after so many years, has the blue sparrow not been successfully suppressed?

And what about the situation of Lao Niu’s soul?

Looking up, I saw the old cow lying quietly in front of the cave entrance, and I couldn't see anything wrong.

Seeing Xiao Ling's slightly anxious expression, Lan Que sneered and said:

"I never thought that a kid like you, who talks about deals and is good at scheming, would worry about an old cow that doesn't know how to live or die?"

Xiao Ling's face straightened and he pointed at the blue bird.

Lan Que knew what Xiao Ling meant. Xiao Ling meant that although he was full of deals and good at scheming, he would not be mean when it came to what he said.

Lan Que couldn't refute this point. If it hadn't been for Xiao Ling these years, he might not have been able to get out of Da Yu.

Moreover, there is a high probability that the soul's injury will not stabilize so quickly. If Xiao Ling says one thing and does another, the two of them will only be suspicious of each other.

We can't trust each other like we do now.

Over the years, he almost watched Xiao Ling grow up step by step.

He also noticed how he behaved in daily life, and he was indeed not that treacherous villain.

Judging from his long life, people like Xiao Ling are not unique, but they are indeed rare.

After sighing slightly, Lan Que continued:

"How can you imagine the ancestor's methods?"

"How can it be possible for the ancestor to be stumped by mere mortal physical rejection?"

"Early when you first entered the Southern Territory, our ancestors had already solved the problem of the rejection of body and soul."

"Not only that, he even cultivated it very well."

After a moment of pause, Lan Que continued:

"As for Lao Niu..."

Seeing that Xiao Ling seemed a little nervous, the blue bird transformed from the smoke smiled sarcastically.

"Don't worry, it's just trapped in my body and there's nothing wrong with it."

"Speaking of it, it's a blessing in disguise. Whether it can successfully enter the demon realm on its own is a question."

"And it has benefited a lot from me for so many years. It is my reward for borrowing its body."

Xiao Ling finally breathed a sigh of relief, hearing from Lan Que that there should be no problem, and Lao Niu seemed to have benefited a lot from Lan Que.

That's fine, the elderly duo are finally reunited.

Ever since he discovered something was wrong with Lao Niu, he had always suspected that Lao Niu had already died in the Imperial Palace.

The body, which was like an empty shell, was taken over by the blue sparrow.

Now when I heard what Lan Que said, Lao Niu not only survived but was also a blessing in disguise, I couldn't help but smile a little.

This is considered a very good result.

When he first met Lao Niu in Fulong Mountain, and they felt the same way, they went on the road together. Lao Niu was almost his first friend in this world.

Later, when Lao Niu faced a longevity crisis, he tried every means to save him, and even threatened Lan Que to give him a solution.

No matter what, you have to work hard. No matter whether you succeed or fail, at least you can feel guilty.
