After buying two big carps from the fish stall, Li Nianfan walked around the town with Daji. They bought so daily necessities before going ho.
On the way ho, Li Nianfan could not help looking up at the sky with a worried look. “Daji, do you think there have been more thunderclaps recently?”
After a mont of thought, Daji said, “Indeed. It seems like there have been so changes recently.”
Li Nianfan’s expression grew even more worried. He rembered how the sky changed abruptly in Azure Ville. There were frequent thunderclaps there, too. How terrifying!
Not to ntion, it was because of the thunderstorms that he decided to bring Daji ho.
It seed that thunder and lightning were a frequent occurrence in this Immortal Realm.
Li Nianfan asked, “Do you think the thunder will strike our house?”
Daji looked at Li Nianfan and then looked up at the sky. “I think...it’s unlikely?”
“We can’t leave it to chance. Ordinary people like us must live cautiously in this Immortal Realm.”
Li Nianfan shook his head. “We live at the top of the mountain with trees surrounding us. That makes us pri targets of a thunderstrike! I must think of so precautions when we get ho.”
Li Nianfan frowned as he started to brainstorm ideas. The most straightforward way to deal with thunderstorms was to use a lightning rod. However, the key material in making a lightning rod was galvanized wire. Making it was not too complicated. He rely needed to find so ordinary tal and lt them into one.
Now that he had a lighter at ho, he should be able to make it. He had to return to the town to buy so tal equipnt. Li Nianfan picked up his pace so he could start making the lightning rod. The sooner the safer.
At the Linxian Palace.
Qin Manyun and the four Elders were guarding a stone wall with worried looks.
Vroom!
Suddenly, the stone wall moved and Yao ngji walked out.
“Teacher!”
“Sect Master!”
Everyone’s eyes lit up as they walked toward him. However, when they laid eyes on Yao ngji, the smiles on their faces stiffened.
Yao ngji looked worn out. His hair was ssed up and his eyes had sunk in like an aged elder, looking weak and feeble. He looked nothing like before.
Qin Manyun’s eyes turned red instantly. Trembling, she said, “Teacher, you...”
Yao ngji waved it off. “Speak no further. I don’t have many days left.”
“This...this...” Everyone felt as if they were struck by lightning.
Zhou Dacheng frowned and said hastily, “Yao Laotou, don’t speak nonsense. What’re you doing? How could you say such a thing?!”
Qin Manyun added, “Yeah, teacher. Haven’t you already passed the Interrogation of Insights?”
“Bad timing. Bad timing!” Yao ngji smiled bitterly as he shook his head. “Now that there are massive changes in the world, I sensed during my Interrogation of Insights that the natural tribulation I need to endure is at least double the usual danger! Double! How am I going to survive it?”
Everyone’s eyes narrowed as their hearts sank a little. “Double? How could it be?”
They did not doubt what he said. Normally, cultivators could sense impending danger. Since it ca to Yao ngji during his Interrogation of Insights, it was unlikely to be a mistake.
“I’d like to know why, too!” Yao ngji said with a desperate look. He complained, “I got this far, yet sothing like this happens during my Cross Tribulation. What am I supposed to do!”
Everyone gasped with their mouths wide open. They did not know what to say. The thought of doubling the danger was scary to even think about. How could it be!
“Whatever! That’s fate,” Yao ngji waved it off as he turned to Qin Manyun. “Did you present yourself well when I was in the retreat? I hope you didn’t piss the expert off.”
“Of course, we didn’t piss him off. However, quite a lot happened...”
Instantly, Qin Manyun recomposed her emotions and told Yao ngji everything that happened from head to toe, as if she was telling a story.
Yao ngji looked like an ordinary elderly man, smiling as he listened to her story. He nodded and shook his head from ti to ti. Half a day had passed when Qin Manyun finished her story.
Yao ngji’s face changed along with Qin Manyun’s description, sotis smiling and nodding with satisfaction, sotis sighing with regret.
When she ntioned the Liu Family, his face beca serious. “How dare the Liu Family offend the expert. They must be destroyed! What a pity that I was in the retreat. If not, I would’ve gone and destroyed them myself!”
When he heard about the descent of an Immortal, he was stunned. “There are indeed big changes in the world. My natural tribulation is probably related to this as well. I wonder what the future will hold.”
When he heard that the expert gave Azure Ville a painting, his eyes filled with admiration as he gasped. “Azure Ville got lucky! Gu Changqing must be so happy that his jaw must be sore from smiling!”
Finally, he looked at Qin Manyun and praised her, “Manyun, your recent improvent is very obvious. You’ve deciphered most of the expert’s clues. Ha-ha-ha! You’re my best student after all!”
“However...there are so parts where your understanding is still too shallow,” Yao ngji said to Qin Manyun. “As the expert said, ‘at worst you are a successful man, at best you are a legendary savior.’ That was obviously him reminding us! What he ant was that as long as we’re doing enough, he won’t let us down! For example, the expert must’ve been impressed by how Azure Ville sealed the entrance of the Demon Realm so he rewarded them with a painting!”
Qin Manyun and the Elders looked impressed. “You’re so right! Thank you for your teaching!”
“In this world, we must learn as we live and help others if we can. Just because we ca across the expert, it doesn’t an we’ll be trouble-free. We need to keep working for the expert! If we don’t share our capabilities with those in need, we will be disposed of by the expert!” Yao ngji pointed out to them as if speaking his last words. “When I’m no longer here, the Linxian Palace will rely on all of you. Now that the world’s changing, you’ll need to be more cautious than ever!”
The four Elders looked depressed as they said in unison, “Don’t worry, we’ll do our best to uphold the Linxian Palace forever!”
Qin Manyun looked at her teacher who seed to have aged instantly. She bit her tongue and said in a low voice, “Teacher, why don’t we go and ask the expert? He must have a way to help.”
“No, no need!” Yao ngji shook his head without hesitation. “The expert has helped us enough. If I do so, I’ll be disrupting his peace. Even if the expert is willing to help , I’m too ashad to ask for his help. And if it offended the expert, the Linxian Palace might be shut down because of .”
“Don’t be too upset. Death is beyond our grasp. Before I go, I’ll go and bid the expert farewell one last ti!”
