Ancient Cultivator?
The fastest update to Seeking the Dao in the Mortal World!
Meanwhile, Yu Fuzi was taking Qin Yi to Tianyu Peak to cultivate lotus flowers.
Qin Yi's expression remained serious as he walked, glancing back every few steps, clearly worried. Yu Fuzi looked at him for a while before laughing, "That woman is incredibly ugly, your taste is terrible... But then again, you're ugly too, so you're still a good match."
Qin Yi: "..."
Yu Fuzi patted him on the shoulder. "But men can be a little ugly. With your wealth, how could you lack dao companion?"
Qin Yi cupped his hands in greeting. "I dare not accept such praise; you are far more talented."
"No need for sarcasm, I know I'm handsome," Yu Fuzi said. "Actually, you don't need to take your worries out on me... My desire for Miss Meng's success is no less than yours."
Qin Yi said, "So it seems that your help to Qing Ying might not be for a transaction, but also an investment... if she succeeds in seizing the throne?"
"That's right. If others can bet on Qi Wen, why can't I bet on Meng Qingying?" Yu Fuzi said. "Besides, I'm really afraid she'll get caught and give me away."
Does he even know how to talk?
After being "comforted" by this guy, Qin Yi's mood became even more gloomy. He had been in the mood to chat a bit before, but now he didn't even want to speak.
"Alright, alright," Yu Fuzi added, "Stop focusing all your attention on your woman and don't cause any trouble on your end!"
Qin Yi sighed and said, "Tell me about your Martial Grand-Uncle and the situation at Tianyu Peak? By the way, your sect is quite active in recruiting disciples. I heard that the strongest one is Huiyang, and he's already Martial Grand-Uncle..."
"No, no, Martial Grand-Uncle is everyone's Martial Grand-Uncle." Yu Fuzi said with reverence, "Martial Grand-Uncle's Daoist name is Pu Xiang Zhenren. His cultivation may not be high, but he has Ancient Mystical Method and has lived for tens of thousands of years..."
Qin Yi paused in his steps.
How is that possible? How could someone with such low cultivation level achieve such longevity?
Tens of thousands of years... If it's true, would he know Liusu?
At that moment, Liusu's voice emerged from her Sea of Consciousness: "This is an insult to my knowledge. It is absolutely impossible. There is no such wonderful method unless he is given an endless supply of longevity treasures to eat like candy."
Seeing Qin Yi stop in shock, Yu Fuzi was also a little smug. "What, you've never heard of such a miraculous art of immortality?"
Qin Yi asked cautiously, "This... does your Profound Yin Sect have a history of tens of thousands of years?"
"That's not it. After the separation of Buddhism and Daoism in the North and South, our Profound Yin Sect migrated south and was unable to adapt, so we declined drastically. At this time, our Martial Grand-Uncle descended to earth and brought us the Ancient Yin-Yang Fusion Method. This is no exaggeration. Even our core method before the separation can be clearly seen to be from this source. Our Profound Yin Sect was able to gain a foothold here because it was modified from this method, so we revere him as our Martial Grand-Uncle."
Qin Yi said, "According to you, couldn't it be that he accidentally obtained Ancient Inheritance?"
"Martial Grand-Uncle also knows many Ancient Pill Recipes Ancient Secrets, many of which belong to different systems... Well, let's put it this way, unless he has received many different inheritances, it can only be through firsthand experience," Yu Fuzi laughed. "Because no one could possibly have that fortuitous opportunity to receive so many different Ancient Inheritance, right?"
Qin Yi silently murmured "yes".
Perhaps that so-called Pu Xiang Zhenren also encountered an ancient remnant soul?
Liusu still objected. "The possibility is too small. Not every remnant soul can survive for tens of thousands of years. Even Ye Bieqing would dissipate in a few hundred years. Unless it's someone of my level, and there are suitable items to rely on and a suitable environment so that the enemy doesn't continue to eliminate it, what are the chances of such a coincidence? If we're talking about possibilities, it's possible that he obtained various different inheritances in the rift valley. There are indeed quite a few there."
This might be close to the truth. For some reason, when Qin Yi heard that it was unlikely the other party possessed a remnant soul similar to his, he felt much better. On the contrary, the fact that others had been so lucky to obtain many different inheritances didn't inspire any envy at all.
A unique sense of "exclusivity" quietly arises; I don't want others to have a "Liusu" like that.
What kind of mentality is this... Qin Yi shook his head and laughed self-deprecatingly, and continued to walk up with Yu Fuzi.
"The Heavenly Heart Lotus originally belonged to Tai Huang Jun and his dao companion, and Martial Grand-Uncle was originally their friend." Yu Fuzi continued, "Once, Tai Huang Jun went into seclusion for a hundred years. When he came out, his dao companion had already run away with Martial Grand-Uncle, taking a lot of things with her, which seriously offended Tai Huang Jun..."
Qin Yi: "..."
Liusu:"..."
The two of them simultaneously recalled Qin Yi's complaints when he went into seclusion—now they finally understood why so few people dao companion. If someone went into seclusion for a hundred or a thousand years, wouldn't they come out with a green hat on their head?
The reason why Tai Huang Jun was so dedicated to breaking up couples and friends is finally clear. Furthermore, his practice of directing patients' hatred towards the Profound Yin Sect during treatments reveals the depth of his own resentment...
On another note, given the sect's rather crude aesthetic standards, it seems that even the Martial Grand-Uncle has Tai Huang Jun tastes...
Yu Fuzi suddenly raised his index finger to make a shushing gesture, and switched to telepathic communication. "We're almost there, try to stay hidden."
Qin Yi had already concealed his aura to the point that it was even lighter than that of an ordinary person. Yu Fuzi glanced at him, quite admiringly. The two quietly crept to the vicinity of the peak and hid outside the rocks, peering inside.
It was already late at night, and the mountaintop was pitch black.
The top is somewhat similar to the Sky-Gazing Peak of Taihuangjun, and there is a cave on the side, surrounded by green trees and covered with vines. This is where their grandmaster uncle, the True Man Puxiang, secluded himself for cultivation.
In the very center is a lotus pond, shrouded in a misty haze. Several lotus and water lily-shaped objects can be vaguely seen growing in it. Amidst the Spiritual Qi atmosphere, one can clearly sense that these are all valuable treasures.
"Those five white ones in the middle are the Heavenly Heart Lotus," Yu Fuzi whispered.
Qin Yi nodded and looked around.
The so-called guards are not really guards. Just like when Qin Yi was in seclusion, there were two Pine Tree Attendant outside. Here, there are just two disciples of Pu Xiang Zhenren. Their purpose is not to guard the lotus pond, but to cultivate here as usual.
After all, this was within the sect, and no one would expect someone to steal from the respected Martial Grand-Uncle.
Qin Yi assessed the strength of the two disciples and realized that if he suddenly made a move, he could completely eliminate them without them even realizing it, and then take the lotus and leave. No wonder Yu Fuzi changed his mind and wanted to follow; otherwise, he really wouldn't have gotten any Spirit Stone.
Yu Fuzi also stared expectantly at Qin Yi. His excuse about having Qin Yi lure the people away so he could retrieve the lotus was just that—an excuse. He didn't even know if there were any restrictions or traps in the lotus pond, so how could he dare to act recklessly? The real transaction should have happened at this moment. Qin Yi would give him the Spirit Stone, and he could simply leave. Qin Yi could handle the rest himself; whether it succeeded or failed, it was none of his concern.
Biography of Qin Yi his voice, "Brother, you're really dreaming. If I gave you Spirit Stone right now, and then there was a restriction on the lotus pond that prevented me from taking them, would that still be a valid deal?"
Yu Fuzi replied without hesitation, "You can search their souls to find out about the restrictions."
Qin Yi narrowed his eyes; this guy was truly ruthless.
To be honest, the ordinary disciples of the Profound Yin Sect had never offended him. Searching someone's soul for no reason might turn the other person into an idiot, and Qin Yi.
Seeing Qin Yi hesitate, Yu Fuzi seemed to guess what he was thinking and gritted his teeth and said, "Then I'll do this, okay? It was I who secretly harmed my fellow disciples and stole the Heavenly Heart Lotus for you. It has nothing to do with you."
Just as Qin Yi was about to speak, the cave abode by the pool creaked open, and an old Daoist priest emerged, sighing, "Today's dual cultivation was rather unsatisfying. Alas, I've been secluded for too long; nothing's new anymore... I'm going to die without a fresh dao companion..."
Qin Yi Yu Fuzi both changed color.
Fortunately, I didn't abandon my principles and attack directly, otherwise I would have run into Pu Xiang Zhenren emerging from seclusion, which would have been a real tragedy.
But the situation is just as tragic right now. How can the Huiyang cultivator retrieve the lotus while standing here?
