Cultivating Immortality Through a Hundred Lifetimes: I Possess the Heavenly Book of Merit

The room was empty; there was no sign of the carefree hermit.

On the table, a storage bag lay quietly in the sunlight, with a note beside it.

The two sniffed around the room, making whimpering noises from time to time. Yu Yan went to the table and picked up the note on it.

"Young friend Yu Yan, my wish has been fulfilled, and I have no regrets. Please excuse me for taking my leave now. There are nearly fifty Yin-Yang Harmony Talismans in the storage bag on the table, which should be enough for you to draw it."

"I want to spend the last part of my life alone."

"So, I'll have to trouble you to take care of the two of them."

"It would be better if we could bring it to the sect, but if it doesn't want to leave, then let's leave it here."

"After all, the two of them grew up here, so they probably won't want to leave."

Yu Yan picked up the storage bag and looked at the two groups. They stopped making a fuss and just lay there blankly, staring at the direction where the back window was open, seemingly lost in thought.

He continued reading.

"The Yin-Yang Harmony Talisman will have to be passed down by you. I've always been lucky; I might just find some method to prolong my life. Who knows, by the time you become famous in the cultivation world, I'll still be struggling to survive somewhere, haha."

Yu Yan then saw again that carefree hermit who, like a roe deer, loved to hop around.

What an optimistic old man.

"I know your name but not your Taoist title, you know my Taoist title but not my real name, so I will tell you my real name."

"Chai Yunjun, remember this: I truly hope that in the future I will hear both this name and your Daoist title..."

The note was small, but it was filled with a lot of writing, with almost no blank space.

"Chai Yunjun."

Yu Yan silently memorized the name, put the note into his storage bag, looked at the two of them, and reached out his hand.

"Come with me."

The other person didn't even look at them, just stared in one direction without saying a word.

He went up and patted the roe deer on the back, but received no response.

Just as Chai Yunjun said, the other party did not want to leave.

Are you reluctant to leave this place?

That's not entirely true.

Yu Yan stood up, glanced at the furnishings in the room, showed no reluctance, and turned to leave.

The two groups lay there quietly, motionless.

The one they're most reluctant to part with is probably their own master.

Although it has developed intelligence, given its original mental capacity, it is probably no more than a three- or four-year-old child. Under such circumstances, its first thought might be that it has been abandoned by its owner.

Or perhaps it thought that its owner had left temporarily and would come back to pick it up.

Yu Yan walked to the patch of grass where the plants were still growing well, took out a low-grade spirit stone, and threw it in.

Without the care of the carefree hermit, it will probably lose its spiritual energy soon. I'll leave a spirit stone as a way of taking care of the two groups, just as he said.

I've been away from home long enough; it's time to return to the sect.

Yu Yan took a deep breath, dispelled the surrounding talismans, and walked quickly, leaving the bamboo house behind.

He walked back along the shore, and with the help of the Windwalking spell, he quickly arrived at the waterfall where he had been before.

With a light touch of the feet, one can ride the wind and leap to the top in the blink of an eye, without even needing the water's surface for leverage.

"Um?"

Surprisingly, there were also wild wolves roaming around.

"So persistent? It's been days, and you're still camped out here."

They also saw the prey that had escaped earlier, which emerged one by one from the woods, but after sniffing the air, they could no longer smell the same scent and immediately lost interest.

Yu Yan also noticed this scene, frowned, and realized the true target of the pack of wolves.

"It wasn't me, it was the second guy."

They've just lost their owner and now they have to hide from your prey?

Yu Yan smiled.

Forget it, let's just consider it repaying the carefree hermit for saving my life and help that roe deer eliminate these threats.

Why did you have to eat this one of all the people you wanted to eat?

The wolf king at the very back suddenly stood up, looking at the gentle-smiling boy in front of him, but its innate intuition made it feel a chill in its heart.

This human is strange; he doesn't seem like he's acting at all like before!

We have to leave; we can't stay here any longer!

run!

"Awoo~"

The wolf king's command rang out in the forest, but it was followed by a mournful howl.

Then, as if a gentle breeze had blown by, fallen leaves in the forest began to flutter up.

puff.

That's the sound of something falling to the ground.

Yu Yan walked through the motionless pack of wolves without changing his expression.

Until the figure completely disappeared, the fallen leaves fell to the ground again.

Only then did a bright red bloodstain appear on the necks of the remaining hungry wolves.

A series of "plop" sounds rang out.

The wolf's head fell to the ground, and the intense smell of blood instantly spread, attracting the attention of many predators in the forest.

But they were hesitant to go closer because of the lingering smell.

It was people with that kind of aura who wiped out the wolf pack in an instant.

After that, hunters who went up the mountain discovered this place.

Not only did the entire population of Baixian Village disappear overnight, but two unusual things also appeared on the mountain. As a result, the news that immortals had appeared on Baijing Mountain and had taken away the villagers of Baixian Village quickly spread.

However, some people believe that the immortal's methods are too cruel. Even if he is an immortal, one should not disturb him too much, lest it bring trouble.

However, such voices were quickly drowned out by the wave of people seeking immortality. One group after another went up the mountain to seek immortality, and even the Emperor of Feng, who was far away in the capital, was alarmed and sent people to investigate.

However, all of this was no longer relevant to Yu Yan. After a day of rushing around, he was now sitting in a restaurant along the way, listening to the diners chatting and joking.

He had just picked up a mouthful of rice when he saw two figures sitting opposite him.

"Excuse me, sir, it's not convenient for me to spell it out here..."

Yu Yan suddenly stopped speaking.

Before she could react, a delicate fragrance wafted to her nose, and the next moment she was tightly embraced by a figure.

"Junior Brother Yu, I've finally found you."

Yu Yan paused for a moment, then gently patted Li Lingying's shoulder.

"I'm relieved that my senior sister is alright. I haven't let down Master and Aunt Qingyao's expectations."

Pulling himself out of the other person's arms, he looked up at the roof beam, where a talisman for revealing spirits was pasted. It was a talisman specifically used to avoid the sight of mortals, and he didn't know when it had been pasted there.

The two people opposite watched this scene with delight, their hearts filled with satisfaction.

Perhaps this is one of the joys of being a matchmaker.

"Nephew Yu, you've given us three quite a search, only to find you here enjoying earthly delicacies."

Qingyao Daoist spoke up in a teasing tone.

"Lingying is very worried about you. In just these few days, she has become so haggard."

"Master!"

Li Lingying called out, then lowered her head, secretly glanced at Yu Yan, and said nothing.

"I'm sorry to have troubled you, Master and my senior sisters. I was just planning to return to the sect as soon as possible, but I never expected to cause you any more trouble."

Yu Yan expressed his sincere gratitude but did not respond to Qingyao Daoist's words.

"It's alright, it's alright."

The Taoist Qinglu spoke twice, looked Yu Yan up and down, and nodded slightly.

"I've heard everything about Bai Jingshan from Junior Nephew Li. I never imagined that my carelessness in arranging this task would almost cost you your life. It was truly my fault. The date for the Hundred Arts Competition has been set. After returning to the sect, you two should focus on your cultivation and prepare for it."

"yes!"
