Lingyuan Immortal

Chapter 201: The Master's Obsession
"Clap clap clap..."

A series of clear and loud sounds were heard.

The blue silk, which increased greatly in number, broke through the barrier of the light ball in one fell swoop and rushed into the ancestor's scroll.

"It seems that the mysterious water lotus is more powerful!"

As soon as Chen Mu had this thought, he suddenly felt that his spirit pool had become a little hotter!

The next moment, his head sank and his eyes turned black.

When he regained his vision, he suddenly found himself in a hazy blue stone house.

Whether it was the surrounding walls or the roof beneath his feet, they were exactly the same as the secret room in the Ancestral Hall.

The only difference is that there are stone platforms in the corners around the stone house.

There is a layer of blue light curtain on each stone platform, and each of them contains a book of different styles.

One of the blue and white tomes was the Nong Yu Jing Tao Sword Scripture that had appeared in his sea of ​​consciousness...

But all this is irrelevant to Chen Mu at this moment.

Because in the center of the stone house, only a few feet away from him, there was a Taoist priest in a white robe who looked no more than forty years old, standing there quietly!
This Taoist had a mountain-shaped beard and a column of spiritual light surrounded each of his arms, making him look very immortal.

"Senior is..." Chen Mu frowned and was unable to react for a moment.

After all, the Taoist's appearance at this moment is very different from the old man in the ancestor's painting just now.

But after he pondered for a moment, his pupils suddenly shrank and he blurted out in surprise: "Master Shuiyun!"

The Taoist monk in white robes looked dazed. After a pause, he asked, "Are you a disciple of Shuiyunjian? How come you are only at the Qi Condensation Stage?"

As soon as these words came out, Chen Mu became even more shocked.

Could it be that Patriarch Shuiyun is not dead...

But how is it possible? Patriarch Shuiyun is the founder of Shuiyunjian and he passed away a thousand years ago. How could he suddenly appear in front of him?

"My ancestor, I am indeed a disciple of Shuiyunjian."

Perhaps because the matter was strange, Chen Mu did not dare to be presumptuous and simply called him "Ancestor" first, hoping that it might be of some use.

"You are quite smart. You recognized me at a glance. But I am not Shuiyun himself. I am just a trace of his divine consciousness left behind before his death." The Taoist in white robe had a hint of surprise in his eyes when he heard this, but he immediately smiled and said.

"I see……"

Chen Mu suddenly realized, nodded, and then heaved a sigh of relief.

The Taoist priest in white robes asked thoughtfully, "From what I see, you don't possess the qualifications Shuiyun originally envisioned... How did you get in here?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Chen Mu's heart suddenly tightened, and the emotions that had just relaxed became tense again.

"This... I don't know either. I ended up here for some unknown reason."

Naturally, he would not reveal the existence of the mysterious water lotus, so he could only be vague about it.

"That's right." The Taoist in white robe nodded as if it was a matter of course. "I haven't noticed the reason yet, so how could you, a mere Qi Condensation cultivator, possibly know?"

He then turned his eyes and looked at Chen Mu from head to toe.

"Since fate has brought you here, perhaps the matter Shuiyun told you about must have happened to you!"

"Me? Legacy?" Chen Mu smiled awkwardly and waved his hand, saying, "I'm just a Qi Condensation cultivator. I'm afraid I can't be of any help to the master."

God knows what Master Shuiyun couldn't accomplish on his own, but he actually left his divine consciousness behind to wait for a thousand years. I'm afraid this matter is extremely dangerous.

"Hahaha..." The Taoist in white robe seemed to see through his thoughts. He shook his head and laughed, "I won't let you, a junior, do your work in vain!"

His eyes flashed, and he looked at Chen Mu and whispered, "There is a reward..."

"Oh?" Chen Mu's mind moved, and he waved his hand to decline, and the action slowly stopped. Seeing this, the Taoist in white robe smiled playfully, and then waved his hand.

A mysterious golden seal emitting dazzling golden light slowly appeared.

"This is the greatest treasure Shuiyun has obtained during his thousand-year journey. Unfortunately, he was bound by his oath and could not personally return this treasure to the family that provided him with training. It became a regret until his death, and it also became my obsession..."

The Taoist priest in white robes shook his head and sighed softly. After a pause, he continued, "He set up the scroll to gain enlightenment in order to find someone who could help him accomplish this. Unfortunately, perhaps because the conditions were too harsh, no one has been able to reach this place in a thousand years. And you are the first one."

"As long as you take this matter, believe me, it will change your life!"

The Taoist in white robe's expression changed slightly, and he whispered seductively, as if as long as Chen Mu took on this matter, he would be able to soar to the sky and do whatever he wanted.

Seeing how tempting he was, Chen Mu didn't dare to take on the task easily. He could only pretend to be unmoved and continue to decline politely.

"Hmph!" The Taoist in white robe frowned and his aura suddenly changed when he saw this. In the blink of an eye, he oppressed Chen Mu so much that he could hardly breathe.

"Boy, to tell you the truth, you have to accept this matter whether you want to or not!"

"I've waited a thousand years for you. I don't want to wait for you for another thousand years for no reason!"

Although the master was imposing, Chen Mu did not feel afraid, because he could see that despite his surging emotions, the master had no intention of harming anyone.

"It's not good to do this earlier. You have to resort to such evil and seductive words..."

Chen Mu muttered inwardly, then quickly said, "Take it, take it! I'll take over this matter!"

Anyway, it's a matter of giving something away, so isn't it up to you to decide when to give it?
"That's great..." The Taoist in white robe's expression changed very quickly and he nodded with satisfaction.

"You have a good appearance. If you honestly send this treasure to the Meng clan in the Nixia region of the East China Sea, you might even be able to marry a Meng woman. If that happens, it will be your destiny!"

"Yes, thank you, senior." Chen Mu curled his lips, but still bowed politely to express his gratitude.

"Yes." The Taoist in white robe nodded, waved his hand and sent the golden seal into Chen Mu's sea of ​​consciousness.

"Don't say I don't keep my word. As a reward, you can also practice the secret technique on the golden seal!"

Chen Mu's heart moved when he heard this. He did not rush to check the golden seal. Instead, he bowed and said, "Yes... May I ask, Senior, where is the Nixia Region in the East China Sea?"

The Taoist in white robe said nothing, but waved his hand again, and the location of the Nixia Realm appeared in his sea of ​​consciousness.

"Then may I ask, Senior, when can I return this treasure to my clan?"

"Don't go out to sea if you haven't reached the Golden Core stage. Don't try to cross the sea without the Golden Core stage. Remember, remember!"

Seeing that the Taoist priest in white robe was extremely serious, Chen Mu nodded in agreement.

"This ancestor is so obsessed with me, he is so sure that I can enter the Golden Core Realm?"

"No matter what, this matter will probably happen a long time later..."

After a while, the Taoist priest in white robe asked Chen Mu to talk about the many changes in the outside world of immortal cultivation.

What seemed boring to Chen Mu was actually something he listened to with great interest.

After a long time, Chen Mu estimated that the time had come and it might have been dawn outside, so he suggested leaving.

"Senior, the time set by Grandmaster Shuiyun for one night of meditation should have arrived..."

The Taoist priest in white robes sighed in understanding after hearing this, then smiled and said slowly, "Since that's the case, let's go."

As soon as he finished speaking, he waved his sleeves and sent Chen Mu out of this world.

When leaving, Chen Mu saw that the obsession of the ancestor who had made the move was gradually dissipating.

And Chen Mu's last glance was at the faint smile on the face whose obsession seemed to have solidified...
