Chapter 208 One step away

After Wen Subai listened to Wu Lingxue's account of Jiang Lisheng's life from childhood to adulthood, he dispelled his doubts about her.

I just asked, "Who was the previous owner of the spirit pet she raised?"

Wu Lingxue shook her head. "I don't know about that. Senior Brother Yu's apprentice Chen Liu'an fell into the Bitter Mountain with her when they were exploring the Qishan Secret Realm. The two were chased and killed by this vicious beast, and later they joined forces to subdue it. Later, it was said that because Jiang Lisheng failed to inherit, the sky and earth of Bitter Mountain collapsed, and they were rescued by Wei Qinglan of Kunlun. Naturally, this vicious beast was subdued by Jiang Lisheng."

She asked, "Does Master Uncle think there is something unusual about this mountain ointment?"

"It used a spell in the Jade Cold Pond. Although it was a small spell, it was very subtle. It caused a vortex to form in the Jade Cold Pond. The spiritual energy in the spiritual vein was quickly sucked away by it through the Jade Cold Pond. That's why I wanted to kill it at that time."

Wu Lingxue said, "That beast was just greedy and wanted to catch fish. The carp that Master's uncle placed in the Bihan Pond is very agile and difficult to catch. It must be a beast that doesn't understand its power and used magic indiscriminately."

Wen Subai hummed, "Fortunately it didn't do this to absorb spiritual energy, so it caught the fish, succeeded, and left the Bihan Pond, otherwise I would have killed it."

"I'll tell the little girl later to keep an eye on her spirit pet. When she wants to wander around again, I'll send someone to follow her." Wu Lingxue witnessed Jiang Lisheng's ability to cause trouble with her own eyes this time, so she didn't dare to let her go just because she had no spiritual power and lost her cultivation.

"Well, since you came to me in a hurry to deal with her aftermath, I won't bother about it." Wen Subai said, "Is Yu Wuchen so good? Even when he hit you with a sword, you still protected his apprentice?"

Wu Lingxue sighed, "Uncle Master, it's not that he is so good, but the higher you go, the more you realize that the great way is difficult to follow, and destiny is changeable. How easy is it to achieve immortality? It is even more difficult for one person to become an immortal in tens of thousands of years. After going through countless hardships and surviving many near-death thunder tribulations, this little bit of romance is hard to let go. As long as you don't achieve the great way, you will always be a mortal."

"Well, it's rare for you to be so insightful and have such comprehension. If you can let go and let go one day, maybe you can really achieve the great Dao." Wen Subai stood up and waved at her, "Go back, and ask Ye Xingci to come to Ziyun Peak to see me tomorrow. It's not a good thing that he has become distracted just after reaching the Golden Core stage? His master doesn't care about him, so I will take care of him. What future can Taiyi have if you guys continue to teach him recklessly?"

Wu Lingxue didn't dare to disobey, "Master uncle is right."

She respectfully watched Wen Subai disappear, thinking that in the past twenty years, not only had this old ancestor's cultivation not improved, but it seemed to have regressed. After all, the white hair at his temples seemed to have become thicker. Now his hair was almost completely white.

She couldn't describe the feeling in her heart. Her ancestors who had lived for seven or eight thousand years were all very talented people of Taiyi. Many of her fellow disciples had died on the road to the great way due to various reasons. Now, there are only a few still alive who can be called ancestors. It can be said that they are only one step away from the great way, but this step is as difficult as ascending to heaven.

There is no way to crack it.

Ever since the great war between gods and demons, the destiny of heaven and immortality no longer seems to favor this world.

But our ancestors not only stagnated, but also regressed, which was not a good thing for the world of immortal cultivation.

She felt a sense of uneasiness and sadness in her heart. She looked at the calm water of Bihantan and stood there for a while before turning around and leaving. Ye Xingci took Jiang Lisheng and Shan Gao to find a secluded place. This place was on the top of the mountain. There was an open space with a wide view. It was a great place with excellent scenery.

There was no one else around, and the eyes staring at her disappeared. Jiang Lisheng's tense heart relaxed a lot. As soon as she got off the Luan carriage, she waved her hand to direct Shan Gao to collect firewood to grill the fish, while she found a rock to sit on, waiting to eat the fish.

Shan Gao put down the big fish and went to collect firewood without saying a word.

Ye Xingci seemed to have never grilled fish before. Seeing Jiang Lisheng finish directing the mountain jelly and sitting on the stone, he paused and said, "Junior Sister Jiang, what can I do?"

"Brother Ye, you can come with me and wait for the food." Jiang Lisheng pointed to a stone opposite him and said, "Just sit there and wait with me."

Ye Xingci was skeptical, "Shan Gao knows how to grill fish?"

"it will."

Ye Xingci walked over and sat down slowly, "Junior Sister Jiang, your spirit pet is quite clever."

Jiang Lisheng shook his head, "No, it's very stupid. I was scared to death by it today, so I punished it by making it grill fish for me."

Seeing that she was still frightened, Ye Xingci said gently, "It's just a small matter. Just be careful next time. Don't worry about it."

"It's one of your Taiyi ancestors. It is said that Uncle Master Wen has lived for seven or eight thousand years, which is older than Uncle Master Qi from Kunlun. I was really scared to death." Jiang Lisheng lowered his voice and muttered softly, "These ancestors are very sharp in their actions. If they are offended, they will be murderous. When I was in Kunlun, I accidentally entered the forbidden area of ​​Kunlun while I was dazed, and Uncle Master Qi from Kunlun bumped into me. He swung his sword to kill me, but fortunately it was Brother Wei who intervened in time and saved my life. Thinking about it now, it's really scary."

Ye Xingci's eyebrows moved slightly when she heard her mention Wei Qinglan again, "Brother Wei from Kunlun was able to save you from Uncle Master Qi from Kunlun, which shows that his cultivation level is high enough to fight against Uncle Master."

Jiang Lisheng nodded, "Anyway, he saved my life with just a flick of his sword. When Grandmaster Qi saw it was me, he didn't kill me. It was mainly because he had a lot of face." She looked at Ye Xingci again with gratitude, "Brother Ye, you have a lot of face too. Although I have lost all my cultivation, I can still sense that there was a gaze that had been locking onto Shan Gao and me all the way until I found you at the Zongwu Hall. After I saw you, that gaze and murderous intent disappeared. It shows that you have a lot of face in front of Grandmaster Qi."

Ye Xingci smiled, "Before he met me, Master Uncle Wen had already given up on killing you. To be exact, I only saw Master Uncle Wen once when I was still a baby. I haven't seen Master Uncle Wen again in all these years. I didn't expect that you and Shan Gao were so capable that you could actually provoke him to show up just by catching a fish."

Jiang Lisheng sighed, "I don't know either. We were watching the fish in the pond from above, and they were just ordinary spirit fish. Who knew that after we got into the water, that bastard Shan Gao would actually see the carp and want to catch it, and even used magic to cause trouble. That great-grandmaster didn't do anything to me at the time, but he almost strangled Shan Gao to death. Shan Gao has been with me for so long, and although people hate dogs and it's always an eyesore to me, I'm sometimes annoyed with it, and it even snatches snacks from me, but if it really gets killed by someone, I'll definitely be upset..."

Monthly ticket, huh?
