Longevity, Eyes Brimming with Tears

Nangong Chengyu took the golden lock and then revealed to Li Yunjing a secret known only to the leader of the Luozhen Sect.

This golden lock is the most precious treasure of the Luozhen Sect.

The information about the golden lock was similar to what Li Yunjing had heard from Fang Tong before.

The golden lock in Nangong Chengyu's hand is called the Longevity Lock.

Its effect is basically the same as the golden lock of the Wushan Luozhen Sect.

When a person is on the verge of death, it is possible to lock their life in place and prevent them from dying.

Besides this effect, the golden lock in Nangong Chengyu's hand has another effect as well.

Just as its name suggests, this Longevity Lock can grant its holder immortality.

Once used, it locks a person's life in jeopardy.

This person's life will then be directly linked to the golden lock.

If the golden lock remains unbroken, this person will not die.

Even if the head is severed, or the body is obliterated.

As long as the Longevity Lock remains, this person will be resurrected through Longevity Lock.

This is also the source of Nangong Chengyu's fearlessness.

"The golden lock... it actually has this effect!"

Li Yunjing stared at the Longevity Lock with utter astonishment.

"Yunjing, you must remember this, it is a secret that only the Luozhen Sect can know."

You are now the head of the Luozhen Sect; you should know this.

But don't let anyone else know, not even Xiao Xuan and Yao'er."

Li Yunjing nodded. "Don't worry, Master, I know."

"Alas, actually, the Luozhen Sect has nine golden locks. One is at the Wushan Luozhen Sect, and one is at the Qingyou Luozhen Sect."

The whereabouts of the remaining seven are unknown.

Each of the nine golden locks has a different effect.

If all nine are gathered, what worries will the Luozhen Sect have about not prospering?

"Master, I saw that golden lock at the Wushan Luozhen Sect."

"However, all Senior Fang and the others know is that the Golden Lock can lock lives; they don't know anything else," Li Yunjing said.

"Yes, I'll go ask Senior Fang properly later."

"Two golden locks together might spark something," Nangong Chengyu said.

After learning that Nangong Chengyu would not die,

Li Yunjing then helped Nangong Chengyu out of the room.

Upon arriving at the backyard, Nangong Chengyu was immediately taken aback.

"How come the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi here is so rich?" Nangong Chengyu was very surprised.

Although his cultivation was completely gone and his meridians had atrophied...

However, Nangong Chengyu could still sense the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi.

After all, he was once Foundation Establishment cultivator.

Li Yunjing smiled and said, "Master, don't worry, let's go look around elsewhere, and I'll explain it to you slowly."

Li Yunjing helped Nangong Chengyu out of his cave abode.

Li Yunjing slowly explained to him, giving Nangong Chengyu a detailed account of the current situation of the Luozhen Sect.

All the strange occurrences within the Luozhen Sect are attributed to Grandmaster Fang Hexuan.

This was an excuse Li Yunjing had used before, and in order not to give himself away, he had no choice but to continue using it.

However, upon hearing this, Nangong Chengyu immediately frowned and looked at Li Yunjing.

As the former head of the Luozhen Sect, surely Nangong Chengyu knows the Luozhen Sect situation?

Although Ancestor Fang Hexuan was highly talented and powerful,

But it's very difficult to do all these things.

However, Nangong Chengyu did not press the matter further.

He believed this was Li Yunjing's fortuitous opportunity.

As a mentor, his role is to offer support, not to pry into every detail.

As I was walking, suddenly a person came towards me from the front.

The visitor was Mo Xuan, who wanted to find Li Yunjing and ask about matters concerning the department.

But Mo Xuan had just arrived when he suddenly froze.

He felt a chill run down his spine when he saw the person next to his senior brother.

"Master... Master!?"

Mo Xuan gasped in surprise, his eyes widening, his body trembling slightly.

Nangong Chengyu burst out laughing when he saw Mo Xuan.

"Xiao Xuan, I heard from your senior brother that you have also reached the Foundation Establishment Late Stage."

Indeed, they have surpassed their teacher; the student has surpassed the master.

Upon hearing the familiar voice, Mo Xuan trembled even more violently.

And her eyes were moist, tears were about to flow.

But Mo Xuan remained calm, looking at Nangong Chengyu and then at Li Yunjing.

"Senior brother, is this person impersonating Master? If you're being threatened, blink twice."

As Mo Xuan spoke, he gathered his strength, ready to make a move at any moment.

Li Yunjing smiled and said, "Junior brother, it's good that you're wary, but that's just how your master is, there's nothing wrong with that."

Nangong Chengyu also laughed:

"Xiao Xuan, have you forgotten the little clay figure you made when you were a kid, playing in the mud and peeing?"

Upon hearing this, Mo Xuan immediately blushed.

This incident is definitely a dark chapter in his history.

Besides him, the person directly involved, only Nangong Chengyu knew the truth.

Even Li Yunjing had never heard of it.

Li Yunjing was also taken aback.

"Yunjing, you were punished by me to copy those texts back then, so naturally you wouldn't know."

Li Yunjing then remembered.

Once, when I was punished by having to copy the Cultivation Method,

Nangong Chengyu was very angry and severely punished Mo Xuan.

Was it that one time?

"Are you really my master?" Mo Xuan still found it unbelievable.

Wasn't my master dead? How could he suddenly be resurrected?

Li Yunjing then told Mo Xuan some things.

Of course, the matter of Jin Suo was omitted.

Li Yunjing fabricated a reason, claiming that Nangong Chengyu had faked his death.

It was only to lull some people into a false sense of security that they kept it from the public.

Now that the time is ripe, Nangong Chengyu has been resurrected.

Mo Xuan had some doubts about this reason.

But I didn't think too much about it.

As long as you confirm that the person in front of you is your master

As for the rest, Mo Xuan couldn't care less.

"Master, it's so good to see you back!"

Mo Xuan wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes and spoke with a smile.

Nangong Chengyu waved, signaling Mo Xuan to come over.

After Mo Xuan walked over, Nangong Chengyu patted his head.

"You, your senior brother, and Yao'er have all worked hard," Nangong Chengyu said.

"I heard from your senior brother that you and Yao'er have become dao companion. I am very pleased."

You and Yao'er are childhood sweethearts, you're a perfect match.

Mo Xuan grinned. "I knew Master wouldn't be unhappy!"

Master, I'll go and fetch Xiao Yao right away. She'll be so happy to know you've been resurrected.

Mo Xuan turned and left immediately to tell Shui Yao the good news.

Li Yunjing then helped Nangong Chengyu continue walking.

Nangong Chengyu wanted to see the Luozhen Sect Luozhen Sect and how much it had changed.

Along the way, the two encountered many disciples of the Luozhen Sect.

The disciples were very curious about the stranger beside Li Yunjing.

Nangong Chengyu did not leave any portrait in the Luozhen Sect.

After walking around, Li Yunjing and Nangong Chengyu returned to the Luozhen Grand Hall.

After sitting down, Nangong Chengyu was filled with excitement and enthusiasm.

"Yunjing, you did a great job!" Nangong Chengyu said.

"I never imagined that the Luozhen Sect could undergo such a transformation."

It seems I've dragged you down. If I'd known this would happen, I should have faked my death sooner!

Li Yunjing replied, "Master, you shouldn't say that. I still want to live under your protection."

Just as Nangong Chengyu was about to speak, a series of hurried footsteps sounded.

The two looked towards the entrance of the main hall.

Ding Qifeng strode forward and rushed into the main hall.

Looking at Nangong Chengyu sitting there, Ding Qifeng's expression was serious as he sized him up.

"I heard from the disciples that a stranger had arrived, and Yunjing even called that stranger 'Master,' so I came to check it out."

I never expected it to be you.

But weren't you already dead?

His sudden appearance now, could it be that he has been possessed by someone!? Or... a corpse monster reincarnated!?

As soon as he finished speaking, a powerful aura surged forth!
