Chapter 428

Shi Xuan smiled as usual and said, "Actually, it's nothing important. It's just that aside from me, does Madam Yuyan know of any other cultivators or sects?"

"A few decades ago, there was a Ghost Battle Sect on Mount Mang. They were cruel and tyrannical, oppressing all the other sects. They were very vicious and didn't have the bearing of a Daoist sect at all. Later on, perhaps they suffered the wrath of the heavens and suddenly fell into decline. Now, aside from some of the older members of the pugilistic world who still have some impression of them, not many people know of them. Is this what Daoist wishes to ask?"

"I am quite clear about this." However, there was something that Shi Xuan couldn't understand. When Lao Dao Xu traveled the world in search of Daoist sects, it was when the Ghost Battle Sect was at its peak. Why didn't he go to Mount Mang or even mention the Ghost Battle Sect?

"Mm. Speaking of which, Yuyan once met Immortal Master when I was young." Chu Yuyan raised her chin slightly. Her eyes were misty as if she was reminiscing about the past.

"I'd like to hear the details." Shi Xuan pulled Chu Wan'er and had her sit on a stone bench beside him.

"It was a starry night. Yuyan was staring at the stars in the sky in a daze. Suddenly, the light of a treasure soared into the sky from a nearby mountain, dyeing half the sky red. A moment later, it turned into a beam of red light that shot into Yuyan's courtyard. It was a bright red pearl. The entire pearl was crystal clear, and its interior seemed to be flowing lava." Chu Yuyan could still clearly recall the scene at that time. It was obvious how deep her memory was.

Chu Yuyan continued to recall, "When Yuyan was about to pick up the pearl, her vision blurred. A man in his thirties wearing a black robe and a tall hat appeared in front of Yuyan. He had a small mustache and an ordinary appearance. He smiled at Yuyan and said, 'Little girl, don't randomly pick up the things on the ground. Otherwise, you'll burn your hands.' Then, he lifted his hand and the pearl flew into his hand."

"Master, do you know how to suck the things on the ground into your hand with a whoosh?" Chu Wan'er asked Shi Xuan curiously when she heard this.

"It's a very simple control technique. Master knows how to do it." Shi Xuan thought for a moment before answering. He then motioned for Chu Wan'er to continue listening to her mother.

"Back then, Yu Yan was both excited and afraid. She was excited that if she could form a good relationship with such an esteemed senior and receive a pointer or two, she would be able to benefit from it for the rest of her life. She was afraid that she did not know if this person was good or bad, or how he would treat Yu Yan. Unfortunately, the Daoist seemed to ignore Yuyan. after he took the pearl, he only smiled and said, 'This Daoist took your opportunity. If you need me in the future, you can come to Luo Jing's Return Dragon Monastery to Daoist Quanzi. I will be here for another thirty or fifty years.' Yuyan said, and then, Yuyan as he disappeared as the wind., "Yan said," Daist, "Yuyan, Yan., Daist, Yuyan," Yuyan said. "Yan was," Daist.,..

"That should be the legendary Fire Spirit Pearl. Without magic power, trying to pick it up will only draw fire to oneself." Shi Xuan deduced from the Daoist's notes and the Treasure Record that the Daoist was at least in the Qi Gatherer Realm. Han Shijin had mentioned Luo Jing's Return Dragon Monastery. Now that Chu Yuyan had told him about it, it was indeed his number one target.

"Yes. That Daoist didn't lie to me." Chu Yuyan seemed to have let go of something that had been bothering her for a long time.

"Alright. I will take Wan'er to cultivate. Madam Yuyan can wait for me here at noon in a month." Shi Xuan said and turned into a gust of wind. He took Chu Wan'er with him and rushed out of the stone pavilion. Then, he took Xu Jingyi and her sister with him and left the mountain, leaving Chu Yuyan standing there quietly.

Shi Xuan found a secluded courtyard in the city and used it as a place to cultivate for a month. First, he taught Xu Jingyi some basic methods to visualize and store her spirit, letting her cultivate on her own. Then, he helped Chu Wan'er train her body so that Chu Wan'er couldn't slack even if she wanted to. She had no choice but to drink medicine and cultivate.

Xu Jingyi indeed had some talent and temperament for cultivation. Although she was old and not as pure as Chu Wan'er, she still entered the door of visualizing and store her spirit after five days. Xu Tianqi followed her and cultivated for a while, but he still couldn't subdue the thought. He could only think of working harder in the future.

Since Xu Jingyi had entered the door of cultivation, Shi Xuan immediately set up the incense table and accepted her as a disciple on behalf of his master. He let her worship Lao Dao Xu as her master and taught her the original copy of the Scripture of Returning Truth. At the same time, he copied the first half of it for Chu Wan'er.

The Scripture of Returning Truth originally belonged to Lao Dao Xu. After observing Xu Jingyi these days, he could see that she had a good temperament and perseverance. Therefore, it was reasonable for him to teach her all of it. Although Chu Wan 'er was his disciple, she was young and had a pure heart, but her young age also brought about instability in her temperament. Furthermore, he wouldn't be able to personally teach her for a long time, so it was hard to say whether she would be negatively influenced and have a bad temperament. Thus, he only taught her the first three parts of the content. If her temperament was still good when they met again in the future, he would naturally teach her the following parts.

In the following time, Shi Xuan began to explain the contents of the Scripture of Returning Truth to them, explaining the difficult parts bit by bit. However, these could only be understood when they had cultivated to a certain stage. Now, the two just listened for the time being and could form a general idea of cultivation. It was enough for them to have a little impression, especially since Chu Wan'er was still a child, so she didn't understand much.

However, it didn't matter. As Shi Xuan explained, he printed these contents into the book, so that when they went home to cultivate, they would have a reference.

Not knowing whether it was because of this wish, Shi Xuan's mind was clear, and his cultivation had improved again. He was no longer stagnant like before, which was a pleasant surprise.

When teaching Xu Jingyi and Chu Wan'er Taoism, Shi Xuan often sighed in his heart. Seeking immortality and Taoism really depended on fate. Before this, as long as people knew him and had the sincerity to cultivate Taoism and the temperament to cultivate Taoism, then when it came to him, he would teach them the Scripture of Returning Truth. Now that his wish had been fulfilled, if it wasn't a great relationship or fate, it would be impossible for them to ask him to teach them Taoism.

Therefore, fate was always ranked before innate talent, and so were temperament and perseverance.

It wasn't that fate came first, but without fate, one wouldn't even be qualified to be tested for temperament, perseverance, and innate talent.

A month passed in the blink of an eye. Xu Jingyi and Chu Wan'er had already entered the door of cultivation. From now on, there wouldn't be any big mistakes in cultivating on their own, especially Chu Wan'er, with the help of his secret Qianyuan Marrow Changing Soup, the effect of body strengthening was tremendous. In just a month, she actually grew half a head taller.

"Brother Shi, we will leave now. Don't worry, I will definitely carry forward the Guizhen Sect, and won't break the Taoism tradition." Xu Jingyi bowed to Shi Xuan outside the city gate and said goodbye. For her, although they weren't close before, in the past month, Shi Xuan was like a master and a brother. At this time, when they said goodbye, she felt a real sadness of parting.

"Brother Shi, I will definitely bring this Shinto method to the Fang family." Xu Tianqi was a little depressed because she couldn't cultivate it.

"Be careful on the road. If you encounter danger, don't be stingy with your talismans." Shi Xuan had made many more talismans these days. Other than the set that he gave to Chu Wan'er, he also gave some to Xu Jingyi. If it wasn't for the fact that this city was the main road to Luojing, and there were a lot of merchants and goods, he wouldn't have been able to gather so many materials. This time, Shi Xuan had spent most of the money that he got from the Double-headed Tiger and Lord Chi Xia.

Xu Jingyi thanked her brother for his concern, and then looked at Chu Wan'er with a smile, "Little martial niece, why don't you say goodbye to me?"

Chu Wan'er pouted. Since Xu Jingyi officially became Lao Dao Xu's disciple, the little girl would hide from Xu Jingyi as much as she could. When they met, she would pretend to be dumb. Until now, she had never called Xu Jingyi "Martial Uncle". Now that she was mentioned in front of her, she was a little embarrassed.

"Hmph, for the sake of Master," Chu Wan'er thought to herself. Then she said hesitantly, "Little ~ Martial Uncle, have a safe journey."

Xu Jingyi turned around and mounted her horse in satisfaction. She galloped away with Xu Tianqi. From afar, when she saw their silhouettes, she even turned around and waved goodbye.

"Phew, they're finally gone." Chu Wan'er let out a long sigh of relief.

"Okay, I'll take you to your mother." Shi Xuan turned into a whirlwind, and swept up Chu Wan'er and galloped towards the better hills. The few commoners who passed by the city gate rubbed their eyes. They had just seen someone, but now they saw a ghost in broad daylight!

When they arrived at the hill, Chu Yuyan was already waiting there in a white veil. Shi Xuan revealed himself and brought Chu Wan'er to Chu Yuyan's side. Looking at the lush forest at the foot of the hill, he took a few breaths and said with a smile, "Madam Yuyan, I've brought Wan'er back in one piece." Suddenly, he realized that this sounded like a kidnapper.

Chu Yuyan was still wearing the white veil that covered her beautiful face. With a smile in her eyes, she said, "Daozhang is really trustworthy. I just don't know how much of Daozhang's skills Wan'er can learn. "At the same time, she called Chu Wan'er over.

Chu Wan'er didn't dare to throw a tantrum at this moment. She obediently walked over and allowed her mother to stroke her little head.

Shi Xuan took out two books and handed them to Chu Yuyan. Chu Yuyan stretched out her fair hand and took the books. Then, she used her slender fingers to gently slide over the cover of the books. Her beautiful eyes were filled with doubt as she looked at Shi Xuan.

"Madam Yuyan, this book contains the true teachings of Daozhang that Wan'er cultivates. The other book contains the annotations written by I. Please help Wan'er keep it well and urge her to cultivate every day." Chu Wan'er's secret manual was slightly different from Xu Jinyi's. Shi Xuan added some content from the Ten Dragons Subduing Devil Fist and the Breeze and Moon Illuminating God True Technique to restrain one's thoughts.

"Oh? Daozhang, aren't you afraid that Yuyan will steal it or impart it to others?" Chu Yuyan asked with a faint smile.

"Hehe, Madam Yuyan is well aware of I's methods. I will naturally be able to take them back." Shi Xuan wasn't worried about this. Not many ordinary people could bear the wrath of an Immortal Master.

"Alright, Wan'er, Master will be leaving. You must cultivate well. I will come and pick you up in ten years." Shi Xuan bowed slightly and bid farewell to Chu Wan'er.

"Master, do you really have to leave?" Chu Wan'er asked with tears in her eyes.

"Master still has matters to attend to. I have no choice but to leave." Shi Xuan could only say so.

The rims of Chu Wan'er's eyes reddened. She pouted and said, "Then go. Wan'er won't miss you."

Shi Xuan rubbed Wan'er's head. He turned around and was about to leave when he felt his clothes being caught by something. He turned around and saw that Chu Wan'er was tightly tugging at the corner of his clothes. Crystal clear tears were dripping down her cheeks. She looked stubbornly at Shi Xuan and bit her lips tightly, refusing to say a word.

Helpless, Shi Xuan could only cast a pleading gaze at Chu Yuyan. Chu Yuyan also bent down and comforted Wan'er. Wan'er immediately burst into tears. She cried and shouted, "Wuwuwu, go. Wuwuwu, go." However, the hand that was holding onto the corner of his clothes did not loosen in the slightest.

The two of them comforted each other for a long time. Only then did Chu Wan'er let go while sobbing. She then raised her head to look at Shi Xuan and said pitifully, "Master, you must come and pick Wan'er up."

Shi Xuan made a pinky promise with her and patted her little head. He wanted to say something, but he had never had the experience of saying goodbye to such a young child. He recalled the various things that could be used for reference in his past life. He then blurted out, "Study hard and make progress every day." As soon as the words left his mouth, Shi Xuan's face turned slightly red. He turned around and left like the wind.

"Eh?" Chu Wan'er was puzzled.
