"Heaven above, earth below, I, Bai Rui, hereby swear an oath!"
With that, Bai Rui quickly gestured to Xu Ning.
Xu Ning, helpless, could only say, "Ye Youpeng!"
Bai Rui continued, "We'll beco sworn brothers, not seeking to be born on the sa day, month, and year, but only... Waaah..."
Before he could finish, Xu Ning covered Bai Rui's mouth. Of course, he was an immortal. If it ca true, dying alongside Bai Rui would be too much of a loss.
"Um, second brother! As long as the relationship is right, from today onwards, you're my second brother! Second brother!" Xu Ning said with a forced laugh.
Bai Rui nodded, then gestured for Xu Ning to remove his hand, and called out, "Big Brother!"
Xu Ning quickly gestured to Han Moyu. "Disciple, quickly greet Second Master."
Han Moyu imdiately bowed. "Greetings, Second Master!"
Hearing Han Moyu address him as Second Master, Bai Rui was overjoyed. "Alright, alright!"
The three then sat down again. Bai Rui spoke first. "Brother, I want to ask, how do you manage to stay in the mortal realm for so long?"
Xu Ning replied, "Simple! Every so often, we return to the cultivation world to stabilize our cultivation and prevent it from collapsing!"
Bai Rui was sowhat skeptical. "Just that simple? Impossible!"
Xu Ning shrugged. "What else?"
Bai Rui was speechless for a long ti. He had initially struck up a conversation with the master and disciple to uncover the secret of their long-term stay in the mortal realm.
But just like his previous thods, there was no secret at all.
The rest of the conversation revolved around random topics.
Bai Rui initially tried to trick Xu Ning into revealing his identity.
However, he found Xu Ning unyielding and impossible to get any information out of him. He even tried using secret techniques to try and glean information from Xu Ning, but was blocked by an endless orange aura.
Finally, Bai Rui resorted to boasting about his own exploits.
By the ti they arrived, Xu Ning had roughly discerned Bai Rui's identity: from the ancient aristocratic family, the Bai family.
This family possesses an ancient Taoist lineage, which allows them to foresee major crises and survive to this day.
Bai Rui was once the pride of the Bai family, successfully forming a top-grade Golden Core in just over three hundred years.
He was also renowned in the cultivation world for his knowledge of feng shui and geomancy, earning the title "Master Bai Rui."
After their conversation, Xu Ning glanced at the sky and stood up, saying, "It's getting late. We should go back and rest!" He then headed towards the backyard, with Han Moyu quickly following.
Support creative writers by reading their stories on , not stolen versions.
Bai Rui protested, "No! Let's chat a little longer! We can't cultivate in the mortal realm, why go to bed so early? Wait for !"
He got up and followed.
As Xu Ning and Han Moyu entered the backyard, Bai Rui tried to follow, but just as he reached the doorway...
Bang!
Bai Rui crashed into a transparent light barrier, completely stunned.
Looking up, Bai Rui couldn't help but exclaim, "A defensive formation! No, there's also a spirit-trapping formation! Is this really necessary? I'm your second brother! Let in!"
However, there was no response.
In the backyard, Han Moyu couldn't help but ask Xu Ning, "Master, aren't you letting Second Master in?"
Xu Ning replied, "Why would I let him in? Do you think the spiritual energy here cos from the wind? You don't know the value of firewood and rice until you're in charge."
In fact, Xu Ning wasn't exaggerating. Others who wanted to bring spiritual energy to the mortal realm had no choice but to bring spirit stones.
The spiritual energy here in Xu Ning's place didn't co from the wind either. It was accumulated little by little by the thatched hut and the spirit-gathering formation when he was in the cultivation world.
Han Moyu was puzzled. "But Master is so enthusiastic towards Second Master!"
Xu Ning raised his hand and tapped Han Moyu's head. "Can't you see? Your Second Master definitely has a secret technique. Your next goal is to learn this technique and teach it to !"
Han Moyu said, "Isn't that a bad idea? And Second Master will definitely see through it!"
Xu Ning said, "So what if he sees through it! This is called a calculated move. Otherwise, why would he willingly call Big Brother!"
Xu Ning wasn't exaggerating this point either. Divine-grade luck not only ans talent but also the future.
Wherever Han Moyu is, he can bring good fortune to that place. In the future, whichever power he aligns with, that power will receive protection.
Bai Rui, from a powerful force, sees this more clearly than anyone else, which is why he's so humble.
Han Moyu asked, "Master, am I really that good?"
Xu Ning said, "Don't underestimate yourself. You need to have confidence in yourself."
Han Moyu nodded. "I understand, Master!"
After a night of cultivation, Xu Ning ca to the coffin shop in front and saw Bai Rui sitting cross-legged at the table, resting with his eyes closed.
Xu Ning said, "Second brother, are you settling in alright?"
Hearing the voice, Bai Rui suddenly opened his eyes, his face full of displeasure. "If you don't co out soon, I'm going to sleep in a coffin!"
Xu Ning tried to persuade him. "Second brother! You're used to ditating cross-legged, so having a bed or not shouldn't make much difference, right?"
Bai Rui said, "I can't cultivate anyway, isn't sleeping better? Why torture myself?"
Xu Ning raised his hand to the coffins in the shop. "Second brother, just pick one to sleep in. I guarantee I'll find you a feng shui treasure spot!"
Bai Rui said, "The only thing I didn't expect is your unreliability!"
Just as he was about to speak, Han Moyu ca out, and Xu Ning quickly gestured with his eyes.
Han Moyu understood and quickly stepped forward to grab Bai Rui's hand. "Second Master, you should teach sothing! It'll definitely be better than what my master taught !"
Bai Rui was very pleased to hear this, his joy barely concealed. He glanced at Xu Ning and then said, "My good disciple! I will now teach you feng shui and geomancy, as well as the art of observing qi!"
Han Moyu said, "Thank you, Second Master!"
Bai Rui nodded, raised his hand, and placed it on Han Moyu's head. His spiritual energy began to fluctuate, and streams of information flowed into Han Moyu's mind.
After a long while, Han Moyu stood there, stunned, beginning to digest the massive amount of information.
Bai Rui, on the other hand, looked exhausted and then looked at Xu Ning, saying, "Brother, this transmission of power has caused my cultivation to dissipate prematurely. I need to return to the cultivation world to replenish and stabilize it. I'm entrusting my good disciple to you!"
Xu Ning nodded. "Don't worry, of course, I'll take care of my disciple myself!"
Bai Rui was about to get up when he heard this.
Just then, a unique fluctuation of spiritual energy suddenly emanated from Han Moyu's body.
"Holy crap, this is ditation! It really is divine-grade luck!" Bai Rui was initially surprised, then his expression changed drastically, and he exclaid in alarm,
"No, there's no spiritual energy here! This will cause my cultivation to dissipate!"
Xu Ning sighed helplessly upon seeing this but finally couldn't hide it any longer. He suddenly raised his hand, controlling the expansion of the Spirit-Trapping Array until it enveloped Han Moyu.
The spiritual energy within the Spirit-Trapping Array was attracted and surged towards him.
