Su Xing was shaken to his core upon seeing Qing Yunzi's weakened state.
A Daluo Golden Immortal, how could he have declined to such an extent, even showing signs of fatigue?
This was completely different from the Qing Yunzi he rembered, who would exist decades later!
It seed Qing Yunzi noticed the confusion in Su Xing's heart, and he sighed, saying,
"This state of mine... has persisted for thousands of years..."
"Even I do not know how much longer I can remain lucid... Perhaps I can endure for a few more millennia, or perhaps just a few more decades..."
Upon hearing this, Su Xing's expression turned grave. It appeared that Qing Yunzi at this ti was already aware of his condition and the possible outco he faced.
Sure enough, Qing Yunzi explained,
"Tens of thousands of years ago, in a mont of folly, I conceived the idea of Becoming a Saint by Slaying the Three Corpses in reverse order!"
"First severing the Good Corpse, then the Evil Corpse... and ultimately severing the self to Prove the Dao as Great Luo!"
"Severing the Good Corpse first has nurous benefits. The seven emotions and six desires dissipate along with the Good Corpse, making the path to the Dao much more unobstructed!"
"However, I overestimated myself... I thought that after a lifeti of cultivating my character and reputation among the orthodox cultivators, I would be considerable..."
"Yet, after severing the Good Corpse, I still couldn't avoid being bewitched by the Evil Corpse and struggled to restrain the evil within my heart."
After a pause, Qing Yunzi continued,
"In my current state, I am forcibly suppressing the evil thoughts... Once the self-corpse is consud by evil thoughts, the consequences are unimaginable!"
"This is precisely why... thousands of years ago, I left behind a wisp of good thought, containing part of my Good Corpse. It was based on the Three Purities from One Qi, allowing it to seek a redy within the Three Thousand Worlds..."
"But with the good thought severed, I am unaware of the situation..."
At this point, Qing Yunzi looked towards Su Xing and said,
"Therefore, young friend's arrival... must be because you encountered the wisp of good thought I left behind."
"Do you have a solution?"
As his voice fell, Qing Yunzi looked at Su Xing with a glimr of hope.
Su Xing fell silent for a mont, now believing in the fundantal goodness of Qing Yunzi.
But due to a fleeting thought, his entire Dao path was destroyed.
And decades later, Qing Yunzi's self-thought would be completely devoured, reducing him to that state.
Hesitant, Su Xing finally said,
"Senior... no, Master!"
"The wisp of your good thought has taken as a disciple... thus, it is fitting for to call you Master..."
"I am aware of Master's situation; I heard that when the Master cultivated the Three Purities from One Qi, you lacked a visualization technique!"
"This technique is the Diagram of Wishful Visualization... I happened upon a portion of Luotian Legacy and acquired this technique. I hope to present it to Master!"
Having said this, Su Xing used his art and technique to crystallize his complete mory of the Diagram of Wishful Visualization into a stream of energy that floated towards Qing Yunzi.
Qing Yunzi accepted the art and technique, integrated it into his glabella, and fully assimilated the mory.
After a long while, a moved expression flashed across Qing Yunzi's face, and he murmured,
"Alas... if only it were not too late!"
"Had I acquired this technique in the beginning and laid the foundation... then cultivated the Three Purities from One Qi, perhaps I could have eliminated the issue and gained full control over my incarnations!"
"It is just a pity, now it is too late... even if I were to cultivate this technique again, I fear there wouldn't be enough ti!"
Qing Yunzi's deanor showed neither joy nor sorrow. Although there was remorse in his heart, he did not fully express it.
After a mont, Qing Yunzi turned to Su Xing and said,
"Young friend... though you are a disciple of one of my good thoughts, you have shown kindness, and I haven't actually taught you anything... I do not deserve the honor of a Master-disciple relationship!"
"We should form a bond of goodwill instead, and it would be appropriate for us to address each other as equals!"
Having said this, Qing Yunzi expressed so gratitude,
"This Diagram of Wishful Visualization, although it arrived a tad late... it still has so uses!"
"With it, at the very least, I could endure for a while longer and see if there are other ways to breakthrough..."
With those words, Qing Yunzi pointed to a cup of tea on the table and said,
"Young friend, there's no harm in drinking this tea before you leave..."
Su Xing hesitated slightly, although he believed that Qing Yunzi was not ill-intentioned at this point, he still felt so trepidation about the tea.
However, it occurred to Su Xing that, for a Daluo Golden Immortal, if he truly ant harm, he would not need to resort to such ans.
Thus, Su Xing picked up the warm tea, savoring it carefully. Afterward, his eyes lit up, and he sincerely praised,
"Excellent tea! With just one sip... I already feel my mind becoming clearer, as if it contains the essence of the Dao!"
Hearing Su Xing's words, Qing Yunzi stroked his beard and laughed,
"You have a discerning palate, young friend... This tea is called Enlightennt Tea!"
"It is an Innate Treasure, brewed from the leaves of the Enlightennt Tree!"
"The Enlightennt Tea Leaves are extrely precious... Even I have only occasionally co across an ounce or two during my early travels and have been reluctant to consu them..."
After hearing this, Su Xing looked at the cup in his hand and saw a couple of green tea leaves floating in the refreshing tea.
Without a sound, Su Xing put the leaves, along with the tea, and the cup itself into his possession.
Then, under Qing Yunzi's stunned gaze, Su Xing's expression shifted, and he said,
"Cough, Master! Master! Do you have any more Enlightennt Tea? Please gift another two ounces of Enlightennt Tea!"
Seeing this, the corners of Qing Yunzi's mouth twitched as he said,
"This Enlightennt Tea... I don't have much left..."
Having said this, Qing Yunzi carefully retrieved a folded piece of paper from his bosom.
Unfolding the paper, about a dozen green tea leaves were revealed.
After so hesitation, Qing Yunzi picked out four leaves and then put back three.
In the end, three tea leaves fell into Su Xing's hands.
"Cough... This Enlightennt Tea is quite precious... you should brew it several tis!"
