That cup of spiritual tea that improved one's constitution went without saying. Treating guests to tea was a matter of etiquette, and no one could find fault with it.
Inside the bracelet were also several sets of spare clothing, so dried and fresh fruits, a three-foot-long green bamboo staff, and three taels of packaged tea leaves.
Slling the tea leaves, it was the sa spiritual tea he had drunk.
Li Qiuchen truly felt the senior's caring heart.
He also had to thank the stupid bird. If it hadn't squawked like that, there probably wouldn't have been these preparations.
Li Qiuchen was completely satisfied and said solemnly to the white crane, "I will definitely treat you well from now on."
Are you crazy!
The white crane retreated two steps with alarm and uncertainty.
Li Qiuchen's most troubling problem in the past had been that he was always an unregistered resident but that was a concern for mountain wildn.
Now with this outfit and the Mountain God's covert support, whether he was registered or not didn't matter anymore.
They say clothes make the man. The clothes themselves were a symbol of status.
"Tomorrow we'll go down the mountain and probe that Daoist's background. When the ti cos, you must follow my commands in everything. Rember not to be impulsive or act rashly."
Li Qiuchen carefully instructed.
The stupid bird's brain sotis really didn't work well, but it had one advantage, it knew its brain didn't work well and was willing to listen.
If he encountered the type that liked to argue stubbornly, Li Qiuchen would have no solution and would have long since parted ways with it.
Early the next morning, just as the sun rose, Li Qiuchen held his newly acquired green bamboo staff and strolled leisurely down the mountain.
This green bamboo staff wasn't any magical treasure, just a straight bamboo pole. If it had any advantage, it was that the material was light yet hard, and could even be used as a weapon for self-defense.
Entering the village, he was still greeted by the strong scent of incense.
That Daoist was in the village, leading a group of n, won, and children in dancing movents, seemingly practicing so kind of health exercises similar to the Five Animals Frolics.
It should have been ti to work the fields, but the villagers seed to have completely forgotten what they should be doing, throwing themselves wholeheartedly into this cultivation.
This was absolutely abnormal.
Not even tending the fields, what will you eat?
This ti, Li Qiuchen ca openly and didn't conceal his tracks.
Hearing his footsteps, the Daoist turned around and looked him up and down, his face showing so vigilance and surprise.
This mountain village was already in a remote location. A mysterious outsider appearing out of nowhere was naturally worthy of vigilance but Li Qiuchen was too young, and with this clean and tidy appearance, it inevitably made one relax one's guard sowhat.
At the very least, he didn't look like a peer who had co to cause trouble.
The old Daoist ceased his practice, stroked his beard with a chuckle, gave so low instructions, dismissed the villagers, then walked toward Li Qiuchen himself.
"Infinite Celestial Worthy, this poor Daoist is Fang Hong. How may I address you, fellow Daoist?"
Li Qiuchen returned the gesture following his example and smiled, saying, "Greetings, Martial Uncle. This disciple is Hong Yang. I have been cultivating in the mountains with my benefactor master, unaware of the passage of worldly ti. Today I ca down the mountain to explore. Passing by this place, I saw auspicious clouds rising and falling over the village and knew an expert was present, so I ca specially to pay my respects."
Martial Uncle? Where did that co from?
That one sentence completely confused the old Daoist. After thinking for a long ti without understanding, he could only probe tentatively, "I wonder who your esteed master is..."
Li Qiuchen planted the green bamboo staff in the ground, and verdant bamboo leaves slowly grew out.
The old Daoist was greatly shocked and quickly cupped his hands, saying, "So you're from the sa path. Forgive this poor Daoist's dull eyes, no offense, no offense."
Li Qiuchen smiled, saying, "My master went down the mountain to wander and hasn't returned for many years. I don't know where he went. When I saw the changes in this village from the mountain, I thought my master had returned. I never expected it was Martial Uncle practicing here."
"No, no, no, please don't call
Martial Uncle. You're too kind. You and I can address each other as peers."
The old Daoist quickly said, "This poor Daoist wandered here and couldn't bear to see the people's suffering, so I acted to enlighten them. I never imagined I would intrude upon an expert's sacred ground. Please don't bla , Junior Brother."
This old man is quite tactful.
Tactful is good. If he were like Xiao Tian and didn't follow the rules, Li Qiuchen really wouldn't be able to extract information from him.
The two found a place to sit down. Li Qiuchen said seriously, "To be honest with you, Senior, this place is called Crotch Mountain. It's remote and isolated, usually with few human traces. I wonder what brought Senior here?"
Stop with the wandering joke. This isn't so famous mountain or great river. Why would you wander here with nothing better to do?
The old Daoist hesitated, not really wanting to say, but considering that this young Daoist was a local native coming to visit, if he didn't tell the truth, he might offend soone for no reason and cause unnecessary trouble.
After weighing it for a mont, he lowered his voice and said, "Since Junior Brother cultivates in these mountains, you must also know about the Immortal of Heavenly Pond fighting with soone so ti ago and perishing, his Dao scattered, right?"
Who?
What thing?
What Heavenly Pond Immortal?
Li Qiuchen's mind was full of question marks, but on the surface he remained impassive, nodding slightly, saying, "This junior has been in closed-door cultivation in the mountains for many years. I only sensed sothing but don't know the details."
Upon hearing this, the old Daoist thought, oh no, this is an old monster pretending to be young.
Explain to
what the hell you an by closed-door cultivation in the mountains for many years? Huh?
That master you ntioned, is it yourself?
The dicine Master lineage primarily cultivated the great Dao of longevity. One could say the deeper one cultivated, the younger one beca. Even rejuvenation wasn't beyond reach.
Conversely, appearing old like him was a sign of not having entered the gate.
Thinking of this, he didn't dare act superior anymore. He looked left and right, then furtively took out a withered tree root with a rough, bumpy surface from his bosom.
Li Qiuchen instantly retreated three steps.
He was all too familiar with the aura on this tree root.
"The Immortal of Heavenly Pond you ntioned, is that the old peach tree?"
"Precisely."
Hearing Li Qiuchen refer to the Immortal's na so casually, the old Daoist couldn't help but lower his posture another three degrees.
"We itinerant cultivators had no idea in the past that such an expert was living in seclusion and cultivating in this Cang Mountain range of Yun County. Only after the Immortal perished did we learn of this Immortal's honored na from others."
"From whom did Senior hear this?"
The old Daoist chuckled and stroked his beard, about to keep him in suspense, but seeing Li Qiuchen's half-smiling expression and recalling that he couldn't see through this old monster's depths at all...
Disguising himself like a beginner Qi Refining realm novice.
Like hell I'd believe you!
"To be honest, that day two Golden Core masters fought with all their might, shaking nearly all of Yun County. After the Immortal perished, his dharma body split into four or five pieces and fled separately. This poor Daoist only obtained one of them through fortuitous chance."
Split into four or five pieces?
What kind of Heavenly Demon Disintegration technique is this?
Li Qiuchen, who also possessed the dicine Master's blessing, pondered thoughtfully after hearing this.
