Book 3: Chapter 4.1: Benefits of Su Xiangxue
Tang Ruowei walked along the mountain road to the top of Seven Stars Peak and saw that the mountain of Seven Stars Peak had fallen by more than half. A man wearing a fur robe, who she had never seen in the sect, was standing next to her master.
The two turned their backs to her as if looking at sothing.
“Master.”
Tang Ruowei shouted to Bai Qiuran.
“Well, oh, you are back, Ruowei.”
Bai Qiuran looked up at her, then turned his head back.
“Who is this?”
Tang Ruowei tilted her head and looked at the man in fur robes, asking tentatively.
“Heavenly Demon Sect’s previous leader, the current Great Elder, Huang Fufeng.”
Bai Qiuran answered, and also pointed out that Tang Ruowei and introduced:
“This tomboy is the apprentice I just took.”
“Oh, is this the legendary ‘iron tree blooms?’”
Huang Fufeng said to Tang Ruowei in surprise:
“Good luck, little girl.”
“Heavenly Demon Sect...”
Tang Ruowei looked at Bai Qiuran speechlessly.
“Let alone sect master Su, now the Great Elder of the Heavenly Demon Sect... Master, as a righteous cultivator, are you too close to the demonic cultivators?
“We’re not close. I know what to do.”
Bai Qiuran held his chin and answered without looking back.
“What are you looking at?”
Tang Ruowei glanced curiously, saw the Tuo inscription on the scroll in Huangfu’s hand, and was surprised:
“Isn’t this the text of the last era?”
“What?”
This ti Bai Qiuran was surprised.
“You know? When did you learn it?”
“Guess!”
Tang Ruowei rolled her eyes.
“Then this teacher will test you.”
Bai Qiuran took the scroll and displayed it in front of Tang Ruowei.
“What did the text on this scroll say?”
“Um... I can only see a noun for now.”
Tang Ruowei narrowed his eyes for a long ti, then pointed to a place on the scroll and said:
“This is called [Immortal of the Land] or simply [Land Immortal] for short... I need to go over ancient books and proofread. The texts of the last era are very mysterious, with a more ancient heritage, so texts can even be directly used as a rune. I haven’t studied it for long, and my skills are still shallow...”
“Well, it’s okay.”
Bai Qiuran nodded and said:
“For ordinary cultivators, this inscription is simply a confusing thing. The grammar written on it is very jerky, and I can only read one sentence. [Land Immortal Zhang Lie of the Zuiyin Mountain was executed], it should be like this.”
“So what did the senior think of the word Land Immortal?”
Huang Fufeng asked:
“I thought of sothing that was not so good.”
“Land Immortal, as the na suggests, ans the immortal living on land.”
Bai Qiuran looked up at the sky.
“Historical materials have never recorded that the demon-cultivator soared into an immortal. Maybe... the ultimate form of your demonic cultivator is this Land Immortal.”
“But why hasn’t the Devil Sect’s classics ever recorded such existence?”
Huangfu Feng’s face was grim.
“It always feels strange.”
“Doesn’t it say [was executed] here? Maybe there are more powerful forces that were hunting Land Immortal.”
Bai Qiuran patted Huang Fufeng’s shoulder and said:
“Maybe there was a genocide.”
“Master.”
Tang Ruowei suggested:
“Would you like to take this scroll to the elders now, check the classics, and translate all the contents on this scroll?”
“This is not mine.”
Bai Qiuran looked at Huang Fufeng, who nodded.
“It’s okay, but after translation, please give a copy.”
“You heard him. Go.”
Bai Qiuran touched Tang Ruowei’s head and put the scroll in her hand.
“I stay here to have a chat with Elder Huangfu Feng.”
