The Ethereal Peak, Drifting Cloud Taoist Temple.
Ling Yi followed Liu Manyun through the bamboo path and into the wooden house.
The wooden houses are all built from bamboo.
There is not a trace of modernization.
The room had a bamboo bed, bamboo walls, and bamboo windows. The windows were covered with a thin layer of gauze, which didn't look like ordinary gauze. You could vaguely see outside.
It has a unique Intent Realm.
The morning mountain breeze, carrying the fragrance of bamboo leaves, blows through the window and caresses the face, invigorating the spirit.
Ling Yi's invigorated spirit was not due to the mountain wind.
Rather, it was because the instant he stepped into the bamboo forest, a red warning message from Fanbao suddenly popped up on his retina—
[WARNING! Special energy source detected!]
[The current database contains no records, far exceeding the current level of knowledge!]
[The host is advised to remain vigilant and avoid provoking any conflict!]
Ling Yi paused almost imperceptibly.
Far beyond the limits of cognition?
Ling Yi raised his head and carefully examined the bamboo house, but couldn't see anything special about it.
The only difference is the " Guanyin Bodhisattva" who is brewing tea!
The movements of " Guanyin " are elegant and unhurried.
This pot of tea took about twenty minutes to steep.
But it wasn't annoying at all.
On the contrary, it makes people feel relaxed and comfortable.
Ling Yi's pupils contracted slightly.
Fanbao's " Combat Mode " was running automatically, and he saw what was hidden behind those slow-motion scenes.
The red text notifications floated up line by line.
[The target body contains an energy source similar to, but fundamentally different from, the host's bioenergy.]
Could it be Spiritual Qi?
[It is indeed very similar to the Spiritual Qi described in cultivation novels.]
Could it really be true?
Ling Yi's heart skipped a beat.
"Does this world really have cultivators?"
[ Fanbao needs to collect relevant information for further verification.]
Ling Yi nodded slightly.
"Then let's go collect them!"
If there really are cultivators, then things will get really interesting.
Ling Yi had always believed that this world was just an ordinary world.
Even with Transcendent strength, it's impossible to be a supermodel.
The sudden appearance of a cultivator instantly unsettled Ling Yi.
" The Final Master," Liu Manyun said softly as she stood before Guanyin.
The white-robed Daoist nun slowly stopped brewing tea.
He gently gestured to Liu Manyun and Ling Yi, saying, "Please sit down!"
Liu Manyun then respectfully sat down opposite the Daoist nun.
Ling Yi didn't stand on ceremony and sat down directly next to Liu Manyun.
Looking at this Daoist nun up close, one can increasingly sense her difference.
He was around forty years old, with a delicate face and skin so fair it was almost translucent, without a single wrinkle.
His eyes were as clear as autumn water, as if they could see right through people's hearts.
Wearing a moon-white training uniform, the hem of her clothes fluttered gently in the breeze, giving her an ethereal and otherworldly air.
That's so damn Xian'er.
Xian'er -like figures are almost inhuman.
It was as if she didn't belong to this noisy world, but just happened to be standing here.
The white-robed Daoist nun's gaze first fell on Liu Manyun, and she nodded slightly, as if confirming something.
Then, her gaze turned to Ling Yi.
Their eyes met.
Ling Yi felt as if an invisible gaze had pierced through his body, scanning him from the inside out.
[WARNING! Target is performing an energy scan on the host!]
[ Fanbao has activated its disguise mode, Simulation the energy characteristics of an ordinary human.]
But the target seemed to have sensed something was amiss.
The white-robed Daoist nun's lips curled up in a very faint smile.
She looked at Ling Yi and spoke slowly, her voice as clear and cold as a mountain spring.
"You possess Aura that doesn't belong to this world."
In short, Ling Yi felt an urge to turn around and run away.
Holy crap, is it really that bewitching?
I could tell you weren't human at first glance?
Damn, is he going to unleash a Great Mighty Heavenly Dragon attack next?
Liu Manyun was taken aback. " The Final Master, what did you say?"
The white-robed Daoist nun did not answer Liu Manyun, but continued to look at Ling Yi, a hint of interest flashing in her eyes.
"It's not Spiritual Qi, not malevolent energy, not any kind of energy I recognize."
"But it does exist."
"Interesting."
Ling Yi's back instantly broke out in a cold sweat.
He forced a calm expression and gave a dry laugh, "Master, you jest. I'm just an ordinary person..."
"Ordinary people?"
The white-robed Daoist nun gently shook her head. "Ordinary people don't have that kind of... well, you know..."
She seemed to be searching for the right words.
"That feeling of 'emptiness'."
"It seems like it has everything, even though it has nothing at all."
Ling Yi blinked. What are you talking about?
"Like a mirror, it reflects an image that doesn't belong to this world."
Ling Yi's heart nearly leaped out of his chest.
What the hell is this description? A mirror? A reflection?
Is she talking about Fanbao?
Or is it that she can Perception some kind of anomaly in the transmigrator?
Liu Manyun looked at her the Final Master, then at Ling Yi, completely bewildered. " The Final Master, do you know Ling Yi?"
The white-robed Daoist nun withdrew her gaze, looked back at Liu Manyun, and said in a calm tone, "I don't know her."
"But he and you have a connection through Karma."
" Karma?" Liu Manyun was even more confused.
The white-robed Daoist nun offered no explanation, but simply poured two cups of tea.
The tea is clear, like plain water, but it is fragrant and invigorating.
The white-robed Daoist nun picked up her teacup, took a sip, but her gaze seemed to linger on the cup in Ling Yi's hand.
In fact, Ling Yi had absolutely no appetite for tea right now.
Especially those who seem to be Big Shot shots.
My heart was filled with vigilance.
But if the Daoist nun just watches him drink, wouldn't that be disrespectful?
If they don't give me face, will they just unleash the Great Mighty Heavenly Dragon?
Ling Yi had read too many online novels, and he used to do the same thing himself.
The native creatures are mostly not friendly towards transmigrators.
Drink up!
Looking at the series of red warning messages floating on the Fanbao interface.
Ling Yi gave a helpless, bitter smile.
He had previously thought that with A Qing by his side, he could put up a fight against this Daoist nun, and that the advantage was in his hands!
Now, however, I'm a little unsure.
Ling Yi took a sip of tea.
"The tea is good," Ling Yi said, forcing a smile.
"Um!"
The white-robed Daoist nun responded faintly.
"I picked this tea from the back mountain; we only produce three ounces a year."
He then looked at Liu Manyun, ignoring Ling Yi.
"You didn't come here just for tea, did you?"
Liu Manyun put down her teacup and asked seriously, " The Final Master, do you know what's in that wooden box my father left me?"
The white-robed Daoist nun remained silent for a moment.
"Your father, Liu Tianyun, was a remarkable man."
He visited the Ethereal Peak twenty years ago and stayed here for three months.
"When he left, he left something for me to give to you when you turn 25."
She took out a palm-sized jade box from her sleeve and pushed it in front of Liu Manyun.
"It was supposed to be given to you last year, but you never came."
Liu Manyun opened the jade box with trembling hands.
Inside was a jade pendant, entirely emerald green, about the size of a palm, carved with nine coiled dragon patterns, with a Bronze coffin in the center.
Both Liu Manyun and Ling Yi's pupils contracted sharply after just one glance.
Nine Dragons Pulling a Coffin!
This pattern is exactly the same as the Bronze coffin in " Nine Dragons Pulling a Coffin " that he created using the Fanbao!
[WARNING! High concentration of energy reaction detected!]
This jade pendant is made of Supreme Pin and unique material, containing a large amount of energy!
[Spatial movement signal detected simultaneously!]
Ling Yi suddenly looked up at the white-robed Daoist nun.
The white-robed Daoist nun was holding a teacup, looking at him calmly.
Their eyes met in mid-air.
Ling Yi read a meaning in her eyes.
Oh wow, I knew it!
Yes, that's roughly the idea.
She knew what he was shocked about.
She had been waiting for his reaction all along.
This feeling made Ling Yi very unhappy.
