The Silent Daoist Tells a Tale

"You know what, the defensive power of this golden body is quite remarkable." The Immortal Fairy was good at spotting strengths.

"If you attack your own golden body, only the village in your palm can damage it; other attacks will only scratch the surface."

"So hard?" Lu Yang was taken aback. He thought he could break through the golden body's defense with Swordsmanship, but he didn't expect the fairy to have such a high opinion of the golden body.

"After all, they belong to this immortal sect!"

"It could be used as a defensive move." Lu Yang nodded. After studying the Sixteen-Foot Golden Body technique all day, he could say he had gained something.

Now he can conquer villages within his grasp and defend with an invincible body; who can defeat him?

Teahouse.

As the Daoist priest struck the gavel, a story began to unfold.

The Daoist priest was dressed in shabby clothes, with his whisk on the table. His eyes were bright, and his appearance was incongruous.

"The Ask Dao Sect has a prodigy named Lu Yang. This young man's talent is truly extraordinary. When he first entered the Ask Dao Sect, he displayed an astonishing talent, which is extremely rare—a single Spirit Root. You all should understand what a single Spirit Root means. Before the arrival of the Great Era, a single Spirit Root was seen only once every hundred years!"

"Lu Tianjiao's single Spirit Root is the best among single Spirit Root. There is another disciple with a single Spirit Root who entered the sect at the same time as him. He is the eldest son of the Meng family. Who is the eldest son of the Meng family? The Meng family is the head of all the noble Aristocratic Clan in the world. The eldest son of the Meng family is naturally the head of all the young masters in the world."

Even with such a status, the eldest son of the Meng family was still jealous of Lu Tianjiao's single Spirit Root!

"After learning that Lu Tianjiao had a single Spirit Root, many Aristocratic Clan and sects proposed to form marriage alliances with him, but all of them were blocked by the Ask Dao Sect."

"On the other hand, the eldest son of the Meng family, despite his high status and exceptional talent, has not been proposed for marriage. This clearly demonstrates the disparity between the two!"

After joining the sect, Lu Tianjiao was accepted as the last disciple by the Silent Daoist.

The guests gasped in surprise, never expecting that Lu Tianjiao's single Spirit Root was so extraordinary.

The down-on-his-luck Daoist was a wandering storyteller. He had only been at the teahouse for a few days, and at first, the customers were just there to listen to his stories as usual, without having high expectations of him.

But when this down-on-his-luck Daoist priest opened his mouth, he astonished everyone present. He was talking about the "Ask Dao Sect," and none of them had ever heard of the stories in it.

This is the latest version of <The Legend of the Ask Dao Sect>!

"The Legend of the Ask Dao Sect" is a story that people love to hear most today. The classic plots in it are often talked about and discussed after the story ends.

Examples include phrases like "The Heavenly Dao met a celestial being Ask Dao Sect," "The Nine Sons of the Ask Dao Sect descended the mountain to subdue demons and uphold the righteous path," and "The Silent Daoist opened the Heavenly Gate with his sword, and all heroes submitted."

Anyone who doesn't know the name of the Ask Dao Sect is out of touch.

The latest version, as told by the down-on-his-luck Daoist priest, was naturally sought after by everyone.

The teahouse owner has been smiling so much these past few days that his face is all wrinkled.

"At that time, there was a great demon within the Ask Dao Sect. The Silent Daoist was suppressed by the great demon, who then took his place as the Sect Master. None of the Ask Dao Sect members were aware of this."

"Lu Tianjiao was the first to realize this. He saw through the Great Demon's disguise, found the Silent Daoist, overcame countless difficulties, and finally broke the Silent Daoist's seal, allowing him to return to the mortal world!"

"After this battle, the Silent Daoist saw through the illusions of the world and traveled the world, entrusting the affairs of the sect to his most outstanding disciple."

"Lu Tianjiao rescued the Silent Daoist, earning the sect's recognition and being regarded as a great contributor."

"The Sect Master the Five Elements Sect even personally visited the Ask Dao Sect to meet this young hero, Lu Tianjiao. Upon meeting Lu Tianjiao, the Sect Master of the Five Elements Sect treated him with great courtesy, regarding him as someone of equal status and showing him the respect due to Sect Master."

The audience secretly praised that the Five Elements Sect Master treated Lu Tianjiao this way after rescuing the Silent Daoist, proving that the Silent Daoist's status was indeed very high.

"Lu Tianjiao has a unique vision, and his battle record is even more impressive. What kind of place is the Ask Dao Sect? It is the head of the Five Great Immortal Sects. Which disciple in it is not a genius? They are all invincible among their peers."

"Yet Lu Tianjiao dared to challenge those above his level. With his Foundation Establishment Realm cultivation, he crossed three realms in succession, challenging Golden Core, Nascent Soul, and Spirit Transformation cultivators, winning battle after battle. The entire Ask Dao Sect was shocked by this achievement!"

"Although Lu Tianjiao is extremely talented, he is very humble and has a very good relationship with his fellow disciples. His fellow disciples often seek him out for sparring, helping each other improve, and the atmosphere is harmonious."

The audience gained a general understanding of Lu Yang, whom they had never met before: a cultivator with high cultivation level and a good personality, a truly perfect cultivator.

As described in "The Ask Dao Sect," the Silent Daoist was famous throughout the world. Wherever he went, people who knew him would warmly invite him to banquets, and even perform sword dances. The Silent Daoist said that the friendship between gentlemen is as light as water, and there was no need for such a grand display. He declined the banquet invitations, and those who knew him were disappointed and regretful after being rejected.

What does this show? It shows that the Silent Daoist has friends all over the world.

Lu Yang's humble nature and friendly habits must have been learned from the Silent Daoist.

He's the last disciple of the Silent Daoist, a true example of master-disciple lineage.

The down-on-his-luck Daoist priest spoke eloquently, recounting Lu Yang's deeds for a whole morning, before finally striking the gavel with his gavel.

"Tomorrow we will tell the Ask Dao Sect, Meng Tianjiao. Meng Tianjiao had the Daoist path in his heart, remained unmoved by temptations, and possessed a composure like that of an enlightened monk."

"See you tomorrow, everyone!"

The down-on-his-luck Daoist priest drank the tea in his cup in one gulp, then rose to take his leave.

"This is your fee for today's storytelling." The teahouse owner personally approached the down-on-his-luck Daoist priest and handed him a bag of silver.

In the eyes of the teahouse owner, the down-on-his-luck Daoist priest was a cash cow; as long as he was around, their teahouse business would flourish day by day!

The down-on-his-luck Daoist priest smiled as he accepted the silver and slipped it into his sleeve.

A paper crane flapped its wings and flew to the shoulder of the down-on-his-luck Daoist priest.

The down-on-his-luck Daoist was taken aback. He recognized the paper crane; it was a letter Xiaoyun had written to him.

"Xiaoyun wants to see me?" The Silent Daoist thought to himself, "That shouldn't be the case. Xiaoyun just finished her release from prison a few days ago, why is she contacting me?"

In the letter, Yun Zhi used cautious and polite language, explaining Wu Youdao's plans in Jizhou and clarifying that Lu Yang was now in the Ask Dao Sect, and that she was merely helping to write the letter.

At the end of the envelope, Yun Zhi wrote:

"My junior brother is not good with words. He asked me to tell Master that the matter in Jizhou is of great importance. He begs Master not to refuse and to go there immediately."

"Jizhou... I am in Jizhou now." The Silent Daoist put away the paper crane and sighed softly.

"What exactly is Xiaoyun's cultivation level? How could a paper crane penetrate the [rules] set up by Tribulation Transcendence stage cultivator and deliver the letter to me intact?"

The Silent Daoist looked up at the sky that covered the city. There was a small hole in the airtight sky, which was made by the paper crane.

The second update will be at 11 PM.
