Jie Walie was no stranger to the term 'cultivator'. He had never eaten pork, but he had seen pigs running. Nowadays, many TV dramas had cultivators. However, he was still shocked to learn that there were cultivators in reality.
"Can I cultivate, Brother Tang?"
Jie Walie had seen the means of Daoist Qiankun, Old Blind, and the others, so he was particularly yearning for the scene of flying in the sky and wielding swords and blades. Everyone had a martial arts dream, not to mention that cultivation was more fantastical than martial arts, so he couldn't help but be tempted.
"You're too old," Tan Xiu shook his head and said, "You're no longer suitable for cultivation. Even if you consume a lot of resources and time, I'm afraid you can only barely step on the threshold of cultivation for the rest of your life. Therefore, there's not much difference between cultivating and not cultivating. "
A regretful look appeared on Jie Walie's face as he slowly nodded and said, "Forget it then. What should we do next? Do we stay here? Or … "
Tan Xiu pondered for a moment and said, "Let's go to Longquan Village! This place is not far from Longquan Village. Let's settle down first, and then I'll contact the Blind Old Granny. Brother Jie, don't stay in Longquan Bay for a long time, because what I'm going to do next is very dangerous. "
Jie Walie forced a smile upon hearing this and said, "I know myself. However, don't take risks easily. Quickly withdraw if there's danger. As the saying goes, where there's life, there's hope. There's still plenty of time in the future! If you want to clean up the enemy, you must strengthen yourself first. "
"Don't worry."
Tan Xiu nodded with a smile.
Now that he learned that his four men had been rescued, he could finally put down his tensed heart. However, he still had to find Old Blind and Jin Shi as soon as possible. Jin Sanchi and Jin Sijie were very powerful, and the mysterious old Daoist was not a good person.
In the evening.
Tan Xiu and the others rushed to Longquan Bay. After Jie Walie and the others left, Tan Xiu stayed at the local's house and gave them some money to temporarily stay in another place for a few days.
"Boss, I found the things."
Mo Awu took a handful of incense sticks and entered the courtyard.
Tan Xiu took out three sticks and lit them with a lighter. He looked around and shouted, "Old Blind, Old Blind, Old Blind."
In a mountain range dozens of kilometers away, an old blind woman with a face as pale as paper sat cross-legged beside a small stream. The water rushed past her, but she acted as if she didn't hear it. Her brows were tightly furrowed, and there was a pained expression between her brows. The corner of her mouth had not even dried yet.
Around her, Jin Shi's group of four vigilantly observed the surroundings and set up a lot of traps. Although these traps posed no threat to martial cultivators, they could prevent the sneak attacks of ordinary wild beasts. They had already taken the healing panacea, so their injuries were no longer a problem.
"Pfft …"
Old Blind suddenly opened her mouth and spurted out a mouthful of blood. As the stench quickly dissipated, her complexion turned a lot better. She slowly raised her arm and waved at Jin Shi who was more than ten meters away in front of her.
"Senior, you called for me?"
Jin Shi respectfully said.
"I didn't expect that the healing panacea you gave me would have such a good effect." Old Blind sighed. "That old Daoist Qiankun severely injured me, so I thought I wouldn't be able to recover in a year and a half. But as it turned out, most of my internal injuries have healed in just half a day. We're out of danger for the time being, but you still have to tell me something. I need to calculate when Tan Xiu will come. "
"What do you need to know, Senior?" Jin Shi was confused.
Old Blind let out a faint smile and was about to speak when her expression slightly moved. She looked up at the gradually darkening sky and slowly got up. She shook her head and smilingly said, "No need to tell me. I already know where he is. Let's go! It shouldn't take much time if we rush there now. "
When Old Blind's group of five arrived at Longquan Village, the night had already shrouded the earth and a crescent moon hung high in the distant sky. A cold current surged, mixed with the aroma of food. In the most remote courtyard, there was an eight-person square table filled with appetizing dishes and two bottles of Gods Nectar that were taken out of the box.
"Looks like this Old Blind is in luck."
A hazy silhouette floated into the courtyard and a satisfied laughter came out.
After seeing Old Blind clearly, Tang Xiu's eyes just glanced at Jin Shi's group of four behind her and chuckled. He then took out three wine glasses and poured the Gods Nectar into them. Then, he picked up the glass and raised it to Old Blind, saying, "I can't thank you with words, but my gratitude is all in this wine. Senior has saved my four brothers, and I will always remember this kindness in my heart. Tan Xiu promises again that Nine Dragons Island's door will always be open to you. "
Old Blind nodded with satisfaction. Despite her old age, she still showed a heroic spirit and drank all three glasses of wine in one breath. Then, she sighed and said, "This is a peerless Gods Nectar. This Old Blind was able to taste such a fine wine in her life. Coming to this world is not in vain."
"I'll always prepare it for you if you like it, Senior," said Tan Xiu with a smile.
"Forget it!" Old Blind waved her hand. "Wine is a poison that penetrates the intestines. This Old Blind still wants to live for a few more years, so you don't need to provide it to me, kid. Also, don't call me Senior or Senior. I'm not used to it. In the future, just call me Old Blind. "
"This …"
Tan Xiu was a bit hesitant.
"Don't mind the red tape. It's decided," said Old Blind. "Let's eat first and then talk about Daoist Qiankun."
Daoist Qiankun?
Tan Xiu's expression moved. He beckoned Old Blind to take a seat and then accompanied her to finish the meal. As the dishes were taken away, the square table was also moved into the house. Then, Tan Xiu said, "Ex … Old Blind, you should talk about that Daoist Qiankun now, right? What's his relationship with Jin Sanchi and Jin Sijie? "
Old Blind rubbed her belly and smilingly said, "They are Master and disciple. Jin Sanchi and Jin Sijie are Daoist Qiankun's disciples."
Tan Xiu's complexion slightly changed and asked again, "I've been here before and saw Jin Sanchi and Jin Sijie. I spared their lives because of a moment of kindness. But that Daoist Qiankun didn't appear at that time. "
"He just broke my seal, so how could he have appeared before?" Old Blind sneered. "I won't hide it from you, Old Blind. In fact, I also have a grudge with him for many years. He was the one who coveted my family's inheritance, causing my father's death and killing my entire clan. Later on, I practiced the divination technique passed down in my family and spent many years of effort to finally arrange the Starlight Array in the Abstruse Yin Ground to trap him there. I thought that it would be impossible for him to escape from the Abstruse Yin Ground with his Golden Core Stage cultivation, but I never thought that he would actually escape. "
Tan Xiu calmly pondered over Old Blind's words and then asked the question he was aware of in his heart, "According to what you said, that Daoist Qiankun was not your opponent back then. How come you didn't defeat him last night?"
"Back then, I used all my tricks and schemes to suppress him at the moment he lowered his guard," sighed Old Blind. "He didn't even use his trump card at that time, else I would've been the one killed back then. Tan Xiu, do you know how many years that old Daoist has lived? "
"Isn't he from the same era as you?" asked Tan Xiu in surprise.
"He's at least twice as old as me." Old Blind shook her head.
Twice?
Tan Xiu's complexion slightly changed. He clearly remembered Old Blind's age, which should be about 120 years old. So to say, that Daoist Qiankun was at least 240 years old?
"No wonder he's so powerful. Old Blind Man, even you aren't his match. What level has his cultivation reached now? "
"His cultivation had reached the late-stage of Golden Core back then, and it's very likely that he would break through to the Nascent Soul Stage in the future. But after being suppressed in the Abstruse Yin Place for so many years, I found that his strength was much weaker than before when I saw him again. His power was only at the early-stage of Golden Core. Otherwise, I would've been killed by him last night. "
Early-stage of Golden Core?
A cold light flashed in Tan Xiu's eyes. If Daoist Qiankun's cultivation had reached the late-stage of Golden Core, he wouldn't be able to contend with him even with his current strength. But he was at the early-stage of Golden Core … and it shouldn't be a problem to kill him if he used some of his trump cards.
"Old Blind, I need to know where that Daoist Qiankun is now."
Old Blind slightly furrowed her brows. Although her eyes couldn't see Tan Xiu, her special ability allowed her to clearly see Tan Xiu's expression. She shook her head and sighed. "It's very difficult to kill him with just these people you brought. Let's wait and see! We'll join hands to kill him when my injury is completely healed. "
"There's no need to wait." Tan Xiu confidently said, "I dare to find him now, so I have the ability to kill him. Tell me! "
Old Blind hesitated for a moment and then helplessly said, "I'll tell you since you've decided. He's in a place full of fiendish qi southwest of us. It's not far from here, probably within 50 kilometers. "
Southwest?
Within 50 kilometers?
Hunting ground?
Tan Xiu's expression shifted. He immediately got up and said, "You stay here and recuperate, Old Blind. Wait for me to bring back the heads of Daoist Qiankun and his two disciples."
"Let's go together!"
Old Blind got up and said with a particularly firm tone.
"Your injury …" Tan Xiu hesitated.
Old Blind interrupted Tan Xiu and said, "Your subordinates gave me a Holy Healing medicine, so my injury has mostly healed now. But that Daoist Qiankun's injury will be very painful if he doesn't have the Holy Healing medicine! "
"Then let's go together!"
Tan Xiu could see Old Blind's firmness, so he no longer refuted. It was because when Jie Walie left with his men, he left them a Wrangler SUV. Together with the van, the two vehicles quickly rushed toward the hunting ground.
Late at night.
The cold wind whistled outside the window, but the dark room was as warm as spring. Daoist Qiankun was quietly sitting cross-legged on the bed to recuperate, while in the next room, Jin Sanchi's eyes flashed with killing intent as he watched Jin Sijie recuperating in front of him. He hated Old Blind, Tan Xiu, and even Tan Xiu's men to the bone.
Years of planning had finally fallen through.
His Master appeared, yet he still returned with serious injuries. This hatred made him secretly determined to find an opportunity to kill Tan Xiu, as well as those bastards who obstructed him from reaching the Immortal Dao.
