From a Zhengyi Taoist Child to a Master of All Laws

Chapter 206: Encountering Immortal Fate [5K chapter, please subscribe! Please give me a monthly ticket! ]

"Do research? Do you need to do research when cultivating immortals?" As a prospective graduate student, Ke He now gets nervous when he hears the word "research", and feels inexplicably modern.

"How would I know? Why would we two little guys know so much about the big guys' affairs?" Xia Jiajie sighed, "But it would be great if we were like Yubao, from the Dao League, and could get to know the big guys in the Dao League."

Yubao is the one with the highest cultivation among the sixteen potential sword masters. He broke through the Qi Ling stage early on. It is said that he has been in seclusion preparing for a hundred days of foundation building. He is quite a tough guy.

This is also the basically determined main sword master.

"is that useful?"

"Of course it works!" Xia Jiajie climbed down from the rock. "You may not know, but the skills we are practicing now are from the Dao League. If we have the guidance of the big guys from the Dao League, our cultivation will definitely advance by leaps and bounds!"

"You know Zhu Yixuan, right? I heard that she is related to the Taoist leader Chen Xiyan, and now she has officially awakened her spirit."

Ke He opened his mouth, wanting to say something but stopped.

Xiantian boss? It seems like I know one, but I just can’t get in touch with him…

After a short rest, Ke He and Xia Jiajie got up and continued to search for possible spiritual fruits along the mountain path.

It was almost autumn, and the mountain wind and the cold moon were both chilly. The wet clothes stuck to their skin, and the two men shivered from the cold.

"Something's wrong. Why does it feel so much colder inside the mountain?"

Ke He wrapped his thin clothes tightly. Both of them were wearing standard black jackets and mountaineering clothes, but they still felt the chill.

"Are you sure that Fatty Wang found the exotic fruit on the mountain? Wasn't this Yaji Mountain swept by the instructors before we went up the mountain? How could there be a fish that slipped through the net?"

After searching for a long time without any results, and feeling cold and sleepy, Ke He couldn't help but start to doubt Xia Jiajie's information.

"You have to believe me! Otherwise, how could Fatty Wang break through to the Spiritual Awakening stage faster than us?"

"Then tell me, what should that exotic fruit look like?"

Xia Jiajie recalled for a moment: "It seemed to be blue, glowing, and had a refreshing aroma of wine. I saw with my own eyes that when Fatty Wang was carried back from the mountain by the instructor, he reeked of alcohol."

The more Ke He listened, the more he felt that Xia Jiajie was unreliable: "Look, although I am not a professional botanical gardener, if there is a plant whose fruit is luminous, has a wine aroma, and is beneficial to the human body, how could the instructors who patrol the mountains every day miss it, or even run into it by chance?"

Xia Jiajie wanted to refute, but she opened her mouth and couldn't say anything.

"That doesn't make sense. It's the exotic fruit the instructors were talking about, and when I went to visit Fatty Wang, Fatty Wang himself admitted it!"

"Never mind you, it's already past three o'clock, I have to go back and catch up on my sleep, I have early training tomorrow."

Ke He was completely disappointed and didn't want to delve into the hidden truth. He yawned and turned back along the mountain road.

"Don't, Xiao He, you have to believe that we are the children of destiny. Even if it's not the fruit, it could be some other opportunity."

Ke He didn't look back: "Okay, my son of destiny, if you become rich someday, don't forget me, and remember to give me a few male models."

"Xiao He, please don't leave. It's the middle of the night. Do you have the heart to leave me alone on the mountain?"

"Haha, I can bear it."

Xia Jiajie behind him was still trying to persuade him to stay, but Ke He yawned twice and couldn't hold it in any longer, so he waved his hands back.

Before they had walked far, Xia Jiajie behind them suddenly let out a strange cry, which was extremely creepy in the pitch-black mountain.

"Xiao He, look, look what that is?"

Xia Jiajie's tone was full of excitement, as if she was jumping for joy. Ke He thought Xia Jiajie was playing some strange trick again, so he climbed up the stone steps step by step without looking back.

"Look, isn't that place glowing blue? And I smell alcohol!"

Ke He didn't care at first, and subconsciously sniffed his nose...

Hey, it seems like there is really a scent of wine...

Ke He's mind suddenly became clear. He turned around and saw Xia Jiajie climbing to the top of a rock, pointing excitedly in a direction.

Ke He rolled and crawled down the steps, climbed up the rocks and stood side by side with Xia Jiajie.

Following the direction of Xia Jiajie's finger, there was indeed a place emitting a dim crystal blue light in the night.

The aroma of wine wafting in the wind became stronger and stronger. Ke He sat on the rock in a daze, his face full of disbelief.

"Could it be that the two of us are really the children of destiny?"

"The smell of wine, the blue light, and the direction are right, that's right, hahahaha, Xia Qiling is just around the corner!"

"But……"

Xia Jiajie laughed extremely wildly. Ke He felt something was wrong. Just as he was about to persuade her, Xia Jiajie grabbed her arm and ran towards the bright light.

"Don't say but. If the fruit is snatched away by the wild beast above, I, Xia Qiling, will have no place to cry."

Seeing that Xia Jiajie was already imagining her own cool and awesome life as a spirit, Ke He sighed. Since he was really curious, he had no choice but to follow Xia Jiajie and run towards the glowing spot.

As the saying goes, a horse will die if it runs high. Now Ke He has a deep understanding of this saying. The two girls were just trying to take a breath, and they were already out of breath halfway through.

In addition, the mountain road was winding, and there were many ancient pines and strange cypresses. The branches and leaves swayed in the wind like ghost shadows, and the two little girls felt a sense of fear in their hearts.

However, thinking that successfully picking the exotic fruit would break their fate of being the last in the class, and that they could get a few more pounds of spiritual rice every month, the two of them bravely rushed forward.

The two walked quickly for half an hour, and then about a few hundred meters ahead, they came to a winding stone path, and the blue light and the smell of wine seemed to be at the end of the stone path.

Ke He looked at the familiar scenery nearby and remembered the name of this place.

Shijingdao is one of the few Taoist scenic spots in Yaji Mountain.

When he was a freshman, Ke He went here with his roommates to travel and take photos.

"Walk!!"

The two girls looked at each other, mustered up their courage and walked onto the stone path.

In the darkness of the night, you can vaguely see huge rocks of various shapes and strange geological landscapes along the way. Some of these rocks are several meters high, while others are only a few dozen centimeters, but no matter how big or small, they all look like scattered pages of books, just like pages of large Taoist scriptures scattered on the ground and petrified.

The aroma of wine became stronger and stronger, but the blue light gradually faded. The two looked at each other and sped up.

When they reached the end of the stone path, there was no strange fruit as they had expected, but instead an extremely spacious rock platform.

This stone platform has no cover and is dozens of meters in radius. When you look up, you can see the starry sky at night, and when you lower your eyebrows, you can enjoy the green pines and cypresses all over the mountain. When you look back, you can see the rugged book-shaped stone forest.

Before she could even admire the scenery, Xia Jiajie went crazy because the blue light suddenly disappeared, and it was obvious that there was no plant growing on this stone platform.

"It shouldn't be like this? I just saw something glowing here, how come it's suddenly gone?"

Xia Jiajie was very frantic. She searched everywhere on the stone platform with a flashlight and almost cried.

"Damn it, we came too late, right? The exotic fruit was eaten by some bird or beast?"

Ke He stood there and thought for a moment, then pointed at a raised stone table and said, "Do you think it is possible that what Fatty Wang found was not a spiritual fruit, but this?"

"What?"

Xia Jiajie also noticed the stone table, but her mind was on the spiritual fruit and she didn't even look at it.

The two men gathered around the stone table, which was a mess. It seemed that some liquid had been spilled on it. There was also an antique jade wine glass with a thin layer of amber liquid at the bottom.

The aroma of the wine was so refreshing that the two of them took a deep breath and felt their consciousness blurred for a moment.

"It seems that the fat king has the same smell on his body..." Xia Jiajie murmured.

Everyone can see the preciousness of this wine.

Xia Jiajie swallowed, glanced at the wine glass stone platform, then looked around at the night mountain scenery, then looked up at the boundless, brilliant starry sky, her face full of longing.

"You say, maybe there was an immortal drinking and preaching here just now, and then he sensed our arrival, so he flew away, and only this wine glass was not picked up in time?" Ke He shook his head: "If it was an immortal, there would be no need to hide from us. We are both weaklings and our cultivation is so low."

“Never mind. Even though it’s not a spiritual fruit, this wine must be the immortal fate that Fatty Wang got by chance. He even dared to lie to me and say it’s a spiritual fruit. Just wait and see how I deal with him when I get back!”

As she spoke, Xia Jiajie licked her lips and looked at the ancient jade cup on the stone table with shining eyes.

"Is it the old rule? We share half when we meet. Do you want to drink first or should I?"

Ke He struggled for a moment and realized the preciousness of the wine, but when he thought that the wine glass had been used by someone before, he couldn't bring himself to drink it.

"Forget it, just drink it. This little bit is not enough for us to share."

After hesitating for a long time, Ke He decided to give the opportunity to Xia Jiajie.

And for some reason, she always felt that the aroma of the wine and the style of the jade cup were very familiar, as if she had seen them somewhere before.

"I love you so much, my He!"

Xia Jiajie hugged Ke He like an octopus, pecked him quickly on the face, and then raised the wine glass with joy.

Ke He wiped the saliva from his face with disgust, and then looked at Xia Jiajie nervously.

"So, I drank it?"

Xia Jiajie did not hesitate and poured the remaining sip of the wine into her mouth.

After smacking her lips, Xia Jiajie commented: "It tastes good, with a strong wine aroma and a little sweet, like rice wine, but thicker than rice wine, with a very rich taste. Hey, Xiaohe, why are you looking at me like that?"

"Don't you feel something strange in your body?"

"Strange, what's strange about it..." Before she could finish her words, Xia Jiajie suddenly felt dizzy, the scene in front of her eyes changed, and she saw a sky full of stars.

"Jiajie, Jiajie!" Ke He hurriedly stepped forward and helped up Xia Jiajie who had fallen to the ground. At this time, Xia Jiajie's body temperature was frighteningly high and her face was flushed.

"This wine is quite strong. Eh? Why do I see gods? Hehe, hehehehe..."

Xia Jiajie's eyes were blurry and she was waving her hands around wildly. Ke He was anxious seeing this, but after calming down he secretly blamed the two people for being so careless as to dare to drink a glass of wine of unknown origin in this desolate mountain forest.

"God, what god? Isn't it just me?"

Ke He shook Xia Jiajie, who was obviously confused, hard and wanted to ask more questions. Suddenly, he saw a clear light flying across the starry sky in the reflection of Xia Jiajie's eyes.

Ke He raised his head in horror. The clear light was extremely fast and it crossed the entire starry sky in an instant, cutting a hole in the night sky. It was as agile as a meteor and slowly enlarged in his sight.

"I, damn it!"

Ke He saw clearly that the clear light that shuttled through the starry sky was actually a young Taoist priest in Taoist robes, with a blue-gold sword under his feet, getting closer and closer to the stone platform.

Before anyone arrived, a calm voice came over:

"I was just flying my sword to comprehend the moon qi. Before, it was a little fat boy, but now it's two little girls. Why do people always want to steal my wine?"

The young Taoist descended onto the stone platform, and the sword under his feet turned into a blue light that flew into his brow.

The Taoist priest had a tall and straight figure, with sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes. He looked at Ke He and Xia Jiajie with a half-smile on his face. With the starry sky behind him, he looked extremely extraordinary and mysterious.

"Ke He, I am not dreaming, I seem to have really seen a fairy..."

Xia Jiajie, who was in Ke He's arms, pointed at Li Yang with her arms outstretched, a dazed smile on her face. She was so excited that she could no longer hold on and fainted magnificently.

The starry stone platform, the ancient path with strange rocks, the night mountain scenery, the Taoist priest flying down with a sword, and the modern girl in a windbreaker, all the elements are intertwined together in an extremely natural way.

Ke He was also shocked, but the content of her shock was obviously different from Xia Jiajie's.

"Li...Yang?"

She was really confused. Her adopted brother who had been missing for almost a month suddenly appeared in front of her, and it seemed that he was the immortal fate that had been rumored in the mountain?
"Sit down, two wine thieves, this won't happen again."

Li Yang smiled, looked up and pointed, the rocks on the ground shook, and in a moment several stone benches were set up next to the stone table where the wine glasses were placed before.

With Li Yang's current level of cultivation, it is a piece of cake for him to use the technique of controlling objects to assemble such a small object.

Ke He dazedly put the drunk Xia Jiajie on a stool and found a stool to sit on himself.

"So, you haven't replied to messages and can't be found for the past month. Are you just practicing in seclusion in this mountain?"

"I'm not in seclusion, but it's difficult to charge my phone in this mountain, so I just keep my phone turned off."

Li Yang felt a little emotional, thinking back to his student days, he would hold his mobile phone until dawn every day, and staying up late was commonplace. He had always wanted to quit but couldn't. Unexpectedly, after practicing, he would let it go naturally and would not feel strange even if he didn't touch his mobile phone for a month.

Sure enough, people will be different when they have higher spiritual pursuits.

Li Yang was sighing with emotion, but Ke He, who was sitting opposite him, could no longer hold back and asked, "Not living in seclusion?"

Ke He then remembered what Xia Jiajie said about a few guys coming to the Jade Emperor Pavilion next door at the East Peak, and asked in surprise, "Are you being assigned to do research at the East Peak?"

"I was not arranged by anyone. No one in China can arrange for me."

Li Yang smiled calmly, and when he looked up, his expression was subtle: "But you, little girl, why are you here?"

"What do you mean, if you can be here, why can't I?"

Ke He wanted to play dumb, but was ruthlessly exposed by Li Yang: "You should know better than me what the Yuanjun Temple in Xifeng is doing, our reserve Ke Jianzhu."

Seeing Li Yang casually revealing all his past, Ke He was surprised and hurriedly covered Li Yang's mouth: "How did you know? Didn't you join the Dao League? How dare you talk about such confidential information?"

"Hehe" Li Yang knocked Ke He's hand down, and a moon ray came out of his body, hovering above the stone platform and emitting clear light.

Ke He now understood what the blue light they had seen before was.

"Just think of me as a partner of the Dao League." Li Yang answered casually, and then changed the subject: "You know better than me what the mission of the reserve sword master is. Have you really thought it through?"

Ke He was rarely silent, and then nodded.

"Humph! A short-lived profession that ends in death with one sword. Aunt Li only has you as her daughter."

"I'm not going to die soon. There are many people who are stronger than me before me. It's not that easy for me to die."

"Will he still die?"

Li Yang frowned slightly: "If you want to practice, you don't have to be a reserve sword master. Whether you want to go to the Dao League or return to Baiyun Mountain, I can help you find a way. Why bother to stick to the position of sword master?"

"Brother, you don't understand."

Ke He shook his head without explaining.

Not sure what this girl Ke He was up to, seeing that Ke He insisted, Li Yang sighed and stopped trying to persuade her.
Of course, the main reason is that Li Yang believes that the current China has its own existence, and there will be no danger to the country's use of the sword master.
If the time really comes when Ke He needs to risk her life to activate the sword, then it must be that something unexpected happened on my side first.

Li Yang waved his hand: "Let's not talk about this. What are you two doing here in the middle of the night?"

Ke He hesitated for a moment, then told Li Yang everything about the Sword Master's resources and how someone from West Peak had made rapid progress by picking spiritual fruits on the mountain.

In her opinion, since Li Yang knew the existence of the Sword Master and the side effects of using the sword, there was no need to hide it anymore.

"Strange fruit?" Li Yang thought for a moment, then burst out laughing: "That little fat guy is just like you. He secretly drank a cup of my Baiyun Li while I was flying my sword and feeling the energy of heaven and earth. After getting drunk, his cultivation improved. I guess your instructor Ma didn't want anyone to disturb me, so he made up this rumor about the spiritual fruit."

As he spoke, Li Yang looked at Ke He unhappily: "I didn't expect that I still couldn't prevent it. Two more vicious thieves sneaked over here."

Ke He didn't have the slightest awareness that he was a thief who had been caught. Instead, he looked at Li Yang with a smile.

Later, Li Yang heard that Ke He's cultivation was the last in Yuanjun Temple, and he was furious: "Idiot, you'd better not say you are my sister, Li Yang. I can't afford to lose that person."

Ke He looked aggrieved: "I have tried very hard, okay! But my meridians are just blocked, what can I do?"
