LRAB Chapter 15 Immortal-Level Daoist Charm
Chapter 15 Immortal-Level Daoist Charm
Yuan Qingsu felt that she shouldn't have any stereotypes about people.
Just a second ago, he thought Weiwei was an innocent and naive girl.
The next second, Yuan Qingsu couldn't help but turn around and give Weiwei a sharp rap on the head. Weiwei covered her forehead with one hand, her eyes brimming with tears, and said, "Senior brother, that hurts!"
"In urgent situations, expediency is necessary; do not speak recklessly."
"……good."
"Let's go."
Yuan Qingsu took a step forward, her figure vanishing into nothingness. Riding the rainbow light, she first returned the Bodhi Seed to Ye Fan, and then led Weiwei towards the direction of the Yao Guang Holy Land, soaring into the sky.
Disciples of the Holy Land have their own teleportation platform when traveling.
The Yan Kingdom's Lingxu Cave Heaven, near the desolate ancient forbidden land, is not far from the Yao Guang Holy Land for true cultivators, but it is not that close either.
It would take an ordinary person at least several days to fly day and night, but Yuan Qingsu and Weiwei only needed to arrive at the Holy Land stronghold, take out their sect and personal identification tokens, verify them, and then directly open the domain gate to descend, which took no more than half a day.
This is the blessing of the Holy Land.
As the night passed and the sun rose, a magnificent holy land unfolded before the two of them.
"It's much larger than Lingxu Cave Heaven."
Upon arriving here, Weiwei's expression changed, and she couldn't help but take a deep breath, marveling at the magnificence of the holy land. This place, which has been passed down for hundreds of thousands of years, truly exudes extraordinary charm in every aspect.
From afar, a plateau rises abruptly from the plain, with beautiful peaks, deep valleys, waterfalls that cascade like a million jade dragons, mythical beasts like the Qilin, and golden crows soaring through the sky, all reflecting the brilliance of the sun in the heavens.
According to ancient legend, this place was once a large tomb where extraordinary figures had passed, a veritable burial ground for immortals, though ordinary people could not discern it.
In the original timeline, this great tomb was supposed to explode one day, revealing a bronze celestial palace hidden within.
This palace has been inhabited by true immortals and even played with by the Desolate Heavenly Emperor. It is a treasure trove of Daoist wisdom, and we can explore it when the opportunity arises.
"It's far more complicated than the Spirit Ruins Cave Heaven."
Yuan Qingsu stood side by side with the girl, thinking of her achievements in the original timeline, and couldn't help but remind her, "I've told you many things over the past half day. In short, be careful in everything."
"I've kept your words in mind, Senior Brother."
"Let's go."
The two walked together and landed one after the other in front of the mountain gate.
Two towering peaks, each a thousand feet high, pierce the clouds, shrouded in perpetual mist, forming the gateway to this sacred place, a truly magnificent sight.
Weiwei followed closely beside Yuan Qingsu. After the gatekeepers completed their verification, the two walked across the high platform and headed towards the reception hall inside the holy land.
The Hall of Reception is located on a suspended mountain.
They needed to pass through places like the Immortal Martial Arts Plaza and the Transmission Cliff. As they walked along the way, they attracted the attention of many people. Every now and then, a few curious and bold glances from the opposite sex would linger on Yuan Qingsu. He was used to this and paid no attention to it.
"Senior brother, many women like you." Weiwei noticed those gazes.
"Maybe." He knew to some extent, but he didn't really care.
"Does Senior Brother have a girl he likes?"
"I guess I have."
What constitutes "having done something"?
"It has happened before."
"And now?"
"Now she is the Holy Maiden of the Jade Pool Holy Land."
"...So, you still like it?"
"..." Yuan Qingsu shook her head, actually she was also a little confused.
In a way, he also suppressed his "other" emotions and was affected, but he is still himself.
The true self is unique, and its free will cannot be manipulated in any way. Yuan Qingsu is unsure when those influences will completely dissipate.
Weiwei was inexplicably happy. She turned her head and said softly, "With Senior Brother Yuan being so amazing, he's bound to find a good partner."
As they spoke, the two arrived in front of the magnificent Reception Hall. On the square paved with blue bricks, many young men and women had gathered. The person in the lead was an elder of the Yao Guang Holy Land, wearing a white robe, with silver beard and hair, and his entire face was covered by a hood.
Hearing the commotion, the elder turned around, glanced at Yuan Qingsu, then at Weiwei beside him, and nodded, saying, "Not bad, a promising cultivator. This year you brought back a talented and virtuous person from the Spirit Ruins Cave Heaven."
"Greetings, Elder."
Yuan Qingsu greeted them politely but firmly, then exchanged a glance with Weiwei and parted ways without saying a word.
She joined the new disciples, and he turned and left to complete his task.
As I was leaving, I passed by the Dharma Transmission Cliff. Just then, the Supreme Elder finished his sermon, and the throng of people parted to the sides. A stunningly beautiful woman, surrounded by admirers, gracefully walked towards me.
Yuan Qingsu's eyes flickered slightly as she recognized the person who had come.
Yao Xi, the Holy Maiden of Yao Guang.
She is an extremely capable woman, the most outstanding among female cultivators of this generation in terms of both appearance and cultivation.
His ambitions are not small.
She was very popular among the younger generation in the Holy Land, and many male disciples were deeply fascinated by her. Judging from her original destiny, Yao Xi's talent was indeed outstanding. She left the Yao Guang Holy Land in the later changes and went to the Nanling Mountains alone, eventually reaching the level of Quasi-Emperor Ninth Heaven.
Because of her outstanding appearance, the original owner was noticed by Yao Xi, but she had someone else in her heart and couldn't forget A Yao, so she didn't have much interaction with this woman.
With his current focus on cultivating Taoism and seeking immortality, it's even more impossible for him to do so.
Yuan Qingsu silently retreated into the crowd, letting Yao Xi and her fellow disciples walk past her.
Tap, tap tap...
Yao Xi walked over in crystal sandals, her delicate feet white and tender. Her round, pearl-like big toe and forefinger held her translucent white toe, her arch slender and beautiful, her skin so white it was almost transparent, with faint blue veins visible.
Multiple parallel ribbons wrap vertically to the ankles, like the finest jade, stepping gracefully onto the blue bricks, approaching from afar with delicate lotus-like steps.
It's beautiful in every way, especially for foot fetishists.
Her deep black hair cascaded down to her hips like a waterfall, swaying gracefully.
A delicate, refreshing fragrance wafted through the air, lingering around Yuan Qingsu's nose, causing many of the male disciples around her to look intoxicated.
Tap, tap tap...
Yao Xi swept past the stunned Yao Guang disciples, her slender figure and graceful posture, her half-profile beauty breathtaking, captivating their entire world.
"Beauty is a curse..." Yuan Qingsu thought to himself, quietly taking a step back from the crowd and turning to continue walking towards his residence. He still had many things to do, such as digesting the second primordial spirit of the Crocodile Ancestor, collecting the rewards for this mission, and planning his upcoming journey to the Northern Region.
Regarding the "Blood Phoenix Transformation," he still hoped to obtain the blood of the five-colored phoenix.
Even if the goal is somewhat unrealistic, he will still do it.
Those who cultivate themselves defy fate, creating miracles from the impossible.
And it was at this moment...
"Qingsu, it's been a long time."
You could tell how beautiful this person was just by listening to her voice. Yao Xi's melodious and charming voice rang out from behind him, and the bustling Xianwu Square instantly fell silent.
Yuan Qingsu had no choice but to turn around and look in the direction of the sound. He saw many figures moving aside between him and Yao Xi.
Their eyes met, and Yuan Qingsu greeted her with the etiquette of the Yao Guang Holy Land: "Greetings, Holy Maiden."
Ta-da...
With her fair, delicate feet treading on crystal shoes, Yao Xi gracefully approached, a fragrant breeze wafting towards her. She smiled and said, "Qing Su, I heard you went to the Lingxu Grotto-heaven in the Yan Kingdom to guide new disciples back to the Holy Land?"
"Yes."
"Why be so reserved? I'm not a man-eating beast."
Yao Xi chuckled. In this vast holy land, from childhood to adulthood, from elders to peers, everyone regarded her as an unparalleled beauty. Only this young man looked at her as if she were a raging flood.
"I have important business to attend to. How about you accompany me to the Northern Region?" she continued. "This matter is of great importance, and I need your help, junior brother."
"I'd be a fool to believe you..." Yuan Qingsu shook his head slightly. The Holy Maiden did have the authority to issue missions, but he also had the right to refuse. Besides, although it was the "Demon Body" wedding dress, he was still the disciple of the black-robed man, not an ordinary person. Yao Xi couldn't really do anything to him.
But before he could utter another word in refusal, Yao Xi's secret telepathic message rang in his ears again:
"Qingsu, you can't say no. You don't want people to know that you killed Wu Guang of the Yin Yang Sect, do you? Come with me today. That silly boy was a disciple of a big shot in the Yin Yang Sect, and you actually killed him like that. Heh, it seems you've been hiding your true strength all this time. You actually have this much fighting power."
"..."
Yuan Qingsu pondered for a moment and nodded.
"Okay." Yao Xi clapped her hands and laughed happily, her graceful figure making onlookers stare in disbelief.
Yuan Qingsu didn't expect the news to spread so quickly; it just goes to show that this is the era of "Covering the Sky," where ordinary people and powerful ancestors are everywhere.
He wasn't actually that afraid of assassinations by so-called important figures.
Before he loses his usefulness, he can still call for backup if anything happens. The protector of the Holy Son of Yao Guang will also protect him. However, in order to prevent Yao Xi from noticing anything amiss, Yuan Qingsu chose to agree for the time being. As for what to do later, that will naturally depend on his mood.
Snap...
With a light step, Yao Xi moved closer in front of everyone and handed him a bronze lamp, engraved with mysterious patterns, that looked both strange and familiar. She said with a smile, "Let's go. The Northern Region has been a bit chaotic lately. We'll use this to keep in touch from now on."
It's "The Flame" again... Yuan Qingsu's eyes flickered slightly, and she naturally took the lamp from Yao Xi's hand. Comparing it with the lamp she obtained from the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land, she observed it for a moment and found that it was really too similar.
Swish!
Several male disciples simultaneously turned their gazes to him, their brows furrowing slightly, their displeasure evident.
Whether intentionally or unintentionally, the two touched each other while passing on the "torch".
Yao Xi's fingers were fair and delicate, with glistening fingertips that made one's heart itch when they brushed against the palm.
Yuan Qingsu was suddenly startled.
It wasn't because of the physical contact between the two, but rather that at the moment of contact, a [Moon Palace] suddenly appeared in his mind, and he sensed a rich Emperor-level Dao aura from Yao Xi... No, the Emperor-level Dao aura was just the surface; the aura hidden deep within the Moon Palace was related to [Immortal]!
