The ancestor of all monsters in Shushan

Chapter 502: A Person More Suitable for Immortal Cultivation
The young man in black who came over was Qiu Yuan.

Shi Feiyang saw Shi Zhu being chased by Xiaochan on the mountain, so he sent Qiu Yuan to rescue him.

After Qiu Yuan landed, he made a spell with his fingers and just waved his hand. The water droplets in the sky were no longer under Xiao Chan's control and all fell into the river. Then another stream of water carried Shi Zhu up and threw him directly onto the shore.

Xiaochan couldn't believe her eyes. She gritted her teeth, frowned, glared and stamped her feet. She cast a spell once again and brought the water back.

She and Qiu Yuan used the same water escape technique, which is also an authentic Xuanmen technique.

However, she had studied unconventional magic for eight years and only knew this one mysterious magic. She knew the method but not the reason, so she could only copy it and apply it reluctantly.

Qiu Yuan was taught personally by Shi Feiyang for eight years, and he practiced the authentic Xuanmen mental method from the beginning, step by step, and has learned the Five Elements Escape Technique thoroughly.

Even if the two of them had equal magical powers, she would never be a match for Qiu Yuan, not to mention that her magical powers were far from comparable to Qiu Yuan's.

She spent a long time trying, but no matter how hard she tried, the river water continued to flow, and not even a drop of water could fly up under her control.

Shi Zhu was kneeling on the ground, coughing loudly. He did not see Qiu Yuan flying over with his sword: "Aren't you the little brother who took me to see the big bird a few days ago? Go away, this woman knows magic! Go away..."

Seeing that he was still worried about his safety at this time, Qiu Yuan smiled and walked over: "Don't be afraid, her magic is not working anymore!"

Xiaochan couldn't understand how the other party made her magic ineffective.

She took out the gourd again with hatred, pinched her fingers and chanted a spell to release the bewitching poisonous smoke, which swept over Qiu Yuan in the direction of her finger.

"Her smoke is poisonous! Little brother, run away!" Shi Zhu had come into contact with children in the county town and found that he was not afraid of any poison, but others were not.

For the same poisonous snake, you can ask another child to poison it to death, but if you get bitten, you just need to take a good sleep.

He urged Qiu Yuan to leave again, but Qiu Yuan was not afraid of this. He stretched out his hand and pointed, and the poisonous smoke in the gourd rolled back and wrapped Xiao Chan inside.

Xiaochan was so frightened that she wanted to put the smoke back into the gourd, but she couldn't. The poisonous smoke was out of control and went into his body through his eyes, mouth and nose. In an instant, her eyes rolled back and she fainted on the ground.

Shi Zhu looked at Qiu Yuan, then at Xiao Chan, not understanding what was going on.

He approached Xiaochan cautiously and found that she was not dead, but just unconscious.

Qiu Yuan walked over and picked up the gourd. "I want to take this thing back and destroy it. Do you want to come with me?"

"Wait a minute, wait here for me for a while, don't leave, I have something to give you." Shi Zhu turned around and jumped into the river. After a while, he swam to the shore with the Xuanyuan sword in his hand, "I'll give you this sword."

Qiu Yuan was stunned: "Why did you give it to me?"

"Because you saved me. If it weren't for you, I would have been drowned in the river by that witch."

Qiu Yuan was stunned for a moment, then burst out laughing. This kid is quite grateful: "Do you know that the sword in your hand is the Xuanyuan Nine Palace Sword that all immortal cultivators in the world dream of?"

Shi Zhu shook his head and thought about it seriously. He didn't quite understand what Qiu Yuan said, but he still insisted on giving the sword to Qiu Yuan.

Qiu Yuan smiled bitterly: "I was the one who buried this sword of yours, why did you give it to me?"

Shi Zhu's eyes widened: "Why did you bury it in that ditch?"

Qiu Yuan nodded: "There are eight more swords of the same kind. I have hidden them all and I am waiting for you to find them."

Shi Zhu asked in confusion: "Why? This sword is yours, why did you give it to me?"

"It wasn't me who gave it to you. It was our master who gave it to you." Qiu Yuan said, "He also asked me to hide the sword and to tie it in a more difficult way so that you wouldn't find it so easily."

Shi Zhu pursed his lips and tilted his head to stare at the sword in his hand for a while: "You mean our master? Is he also my master?"

"He is our common master."

"I actually have a master?" Shi Zhu was surprised and happy, "What kind of person is he?"

Qiu Yuan gave him a brief description, and he asked Qiu Yuan to take him to meet his master.

Qiu Yuan refused: "Master said that it is not the right time yet. He said that you owed a lot of lessons in your past reincarnations, and you have to make up for it in this life. He asked me to hide the sword in nine places. After you find all the swords and kill the invading monsters, he will let me take you to see him."

"I know what's going on if I find all the swords, but what does it mean to kill the invading monsters? Where did the monsters come from?"

Qiu Yuan thought for a moment, pointed at Xiaochan on the ground and said, "Maybe this is the demon that Master was talking about. There should be more than one of them."

"You killed this man, no, he's not dead yet." Shi Zhu ran to feel Xiao Chan's breath, "I don't know magic, and I can't beat other monsters, you have to do it, it's clear that you have to kill all the monsters before you can take me to see the master?" Qiu Yuan was stunned by his confusion, then went over and knocked on his head, "Why do we have to divide so clearly among brothers? Anyway, that's what the master said, this is not just your job, we have to do it together."

"Is it possible that Master also wants to train you through this? In fact, it is mainly for training you. I just followed you to get the sword. I took the sword and helped you kill the invading monster. Then we went to see Master together."

This child is not like Qiu Yuan. He grew up in the market and experienced many worldly affairs.

Qiu Yuan was born in a wealthy family, and was spoiled by his parents since childhood. Later, he cultivated immortality in the mountains, so he had never experienced this kind of division of responsibilities. He couldn't figure it out for a moment, so he could only say, "Maybe, this is something you do for me, not me for you. Alas, you can divide it so clearly."

Shi Zhu asked him where he had hidden the remaining eight swords: "Let's go get them all now and bring them with us to see the master."

He is now very curious about this legendary master and looks forward to meeting him as soon as possible to see what he is like.

"I can tell you where it is, but I can't help you get it." Qiu Yuan took him to a cliff, "The sword is in the crevice of the mountain. You have to tie a rope around your waist and lower yourself down from above."

Shi Zhu looked at the terrain of the cliff carefully and decided to climb it with his bare hands.

Qiu Yuan had often seen him out and about over the years, but he couldn't see him from a distance like Shi Feiyang could. He had to see with his naked eyes. Moreover, he had a lot of homework of his own and had to spend a lot of time practicing sword skills every day, so he didn't understand Shi Zhu 100%.

His original intention in designing this place was that Shi Zhu would see the flash there, then climb to the top of the cliff and use a rope to lower himself down. He never expected that Shi Zhu would climb up directly from below, with a nimble figure and as swift as a monkey, and soon climb to the crack and take out the Xuanyuan Sword he had hidden there.

"Junior brother, you are really amazing!" Qiu Yuan gave a thumbs up. "Before I practiced immortal arts, I was nothing compared to you."

Then he pointed out the remaining seven places where the swords were hidden, and Shi Zhu got the swords effortlessly.

There were nine in total, laid out side by side on the ground, radiating golden light.

Shi Zhu squatted down and looked down, then looked up at Qiu Yuan: "You said these were all given to me by my master? Why did he do that? Why did he give me so many ancient swords?"

"I don't know the details, but my master likes you very much. He said that you were born to meet a calamity this time, and you must have these nine swords in your hands. Then you can do a lot of things for him."

Qiu Yuan squatted on the ground, scratching his head in the face of Shi Zhu's questions one after another, and he couldn't answer many of them.

"Okay, now that you have all the swords, I will teach you how to refine the swords. You can manipulate these swords at will, and you can even fly into the sky and hide in the ground, climb mountains and dive into rivers. Do you want to learn?"

Shi Zhu nodded: "I want to learn."

Qiu Yuan then began to teach him the skills of meditation and Qi training, and also taught him how to wield a sword.

Shi Zhu's own spirit was stable and his vitality was off the charts, so he could learn these basic skills immediately. Moreover, it only took him half a day to make the Xuanyuan Sword in front of him float in the air.

Qiu Yuan was amazed and envious: "Junior brother, you are definitely a rare genius in cultivation that only appears once in a thousand years. I want to tell others about your deeds. I wonder how many people will envy you."

Shi Zhu nodded: "I have been different from other people since I was a child. I am not afraid of being poisoned."

Qiu Yuan thought he would be modest, but he actually admitted it. He curled his lips and said, "Although you are very talented, you can't be complacent. You still have to study hard. Humility makes people progress."

Shi Zhu nodded in agreement. He was not being proud or complacent, he was just acknowledging a fact.

In order to prevent him from becoming too arrogant, Qiu Yuan began to teach him difficult things. Ten days after his initiation, he began to teach him how to draw talismans and even how to escape.

However, no matter what he taught, Shi Zhu could learn it all quickly and become proficient after practicing it. Even the Five Elements Escape Technique was no exception. The first time he used it, he was able to control a ball of fire and a large amount of river water.

Qiu Yuan was stunned: "You, you, you, what kind of monster are you? Haven't you learned these things before? Don't you know how to do them? Or did you already know them and deliberately let me teach you?"

"I don't know how to do it." Shi Zhu said seriously, "These are all very simple and not difficult. How about you teach me some more difficult ones, then I probably won't be able to do them."

Qiu Yuan gritted his teeth and began to teach him the Zhou Tian Shu. As a result, Shi Zhu remembered it after learning it once and was able to apply it after practicing it a few times.

The worst thing is that when the two brothers told fortunes together, the hexagrams they calculated were the same, but the results they broke down were different, which ultimately proved that Shi Zhu was right!

Qiu Yuan was frustrated: "How is this possible! Master said that this depends on talent. Is your talent really that strong?"

"It's not that strong, it's just like this naturally." Shi Zhu looked at the hexagram on the ground a little embarrassedly, gesturing with his hands, "This is how it should be interpreted."

Qiu Yuan sighed and said, "Master once said that he didn't want to accept you as his disciple. When he accepted me, he said that I would be his last disciple. But when he saw you, he said that he couldn't close the door and you had to close it. I didn't understand what he meant at first, but now I finally understand. I really can't close the door."

Shi Zhu laughed at what he said, his eyes turning into two crescents: "Maybe someone more powerful than me will come in the future, and I won't be able to lock him up by then, so I'll just let him do it."

Qiu Yuan shook his head: "It's impossible. Unless the master reincarnates himself and accepts himself, there will be no one in this world who is more suitable for cultivating immortals than you!"
