Chapter 1215 Master is here

"It was your insistence that you come along. This is also a way to gain experience in the human world, the most direct way to see the Three Realms and Six Paths clearly."

Zhang Chengxuan crossed his arms over his chest, his expression serious.

“Didn’t you say you wanted to know what the real human world is like?” Zhang Chengxuan continued, “This is the most authentic appearance of the common people. If you go to a hundred households to do things for them, you will see the cycle of cause and effect for ordinary people, birth, old age, sickness and death, and that fate is not empty.”

"Moreover, you can also deal with ghosts and gods. I see that you are intelligent and kind-hearted, a good prospect. Once you understand this path, your cultivation will improve faster than any other demon. I don't like to force people to do things. Whether you try or not is entirely up to you."

Song Chunxue lowered her head, sensing the deception in her words.

Qi Yun was a little anxious; he was the worst at dealing with this kind of thing.

“But you only get one chance. I didn’t agree to let Tu Dan’er learn before because he wasn’t mature enough and couldn’t face the plight of ordinary people. But you can.” Zhang Chengxuan continued to encourage him, “Although you’re rather lustful, you’re not controlled by your desires…”

"Uncle-Master, I promise you, I promise you, okay?" Qi Yun clasped his hands together. "Please, please don't mention the past. I promise you."

Now that he was on the wrong path, he wasn't thinking about going back anytime soon. But whenever he thought about how his master was awake when he was discussing things with Han Mo, he felt like dying.

He was a fox spirit, and all the demons he had ever met, big and small, had tried to get close to him, but he hadn't taken a liking to any of them.

Where have you ever encountered someone who, on a whim, wanted to try their luck with a Taoist nun, but then, out of pride, forced themselves into it?

Heavens above, is this a test from God because He sees him living too comfortably and doing too little?

Help! He just thought these people were quite interesting, and it would be good to learn something from them. He would go back home after a while when he got bored.

Why should we teach him real skills?

He's actually not good at studying at all.

In all his years, no one has ever praised him for being exceptionally intelligent or anything like that. Although he knows it's mostly untrue, he just can't resist the compliment.

Although he was a fox spirit, he rarely refused anyone, especially respected elders.

He decided to give it a try; he really wanted to see what he didn't know about these cunning and treacherous mortals.

"Here, this is a gift for meeting you. Learn from me from now on." Zhang Chengxuan handed him a fan. "Although it's not anything valuable, it's made of lightning-struck wood and is good for warding off evil spirits."

"Hiss~" Qi Yun took it and weighed it in his hand; it was burning hot. "Does it also ward off demons?"

"Huh?" Zhang Chengxuan was taken aback. "It shouldn't be, right? You're not dead, so you're not considered an evil entity, are you?"

Qi Yun pointed to the runes on it, "This is also for exorcising demons!"

He must be out of his mind. How could he learn talismans and exorcism from a Taoist priest? He's practically asking for death.

“Senior Uncle, perhaps we should just forget about it. I don’t have that much talent. If it were a few hundred years ago, people like you would be exorcists, while I am a demon. We should have kept our distance and been enemies…”

"No," Zhang Chengxuan said, handing him a jade gourd instead. "This is called 'Fortune and Prosperity.' May you be blessed with good fortune and achieve all your desires."

Qi Yun said helplessly, "Thank you, Senior Uncle."

If Han Mo knew, he would definitely laugh at him.

He doesn't need to wait a few days; he wants to run back now.

Upon returning to Qingshan Temple, Han Mo found Qi Yun and asked, "How was the harvest?"

Qi Yun looked at Song Chunxue and Zhang Daoren, "It's alright. Let's go outside and check the vegetable garden. Oh right, aren't there any chickens raised on this mountain?"

Han Mo moved his lips, giving him a look that was hard to describe.

"Let's talk for a bit, you two get back to work." Han Mo gave Qi Yun a wink, and the two quickly disappeared through the courtyard gate.

Song Chunxue then burst out laughing.

"Senior brother is indeed senior brother. I see you're quite good at conning people now. Do you genuinely want to teach him something?"

“That’s right. I’ve looked at his birth chart. He has several Hua Gai stars, which are perfect for our line of work. He’s lacking the water element, so he’s not very adaptable. He’s the kind of person who needs a beating to study hard. I think he’s a promising talent. Besides, I also want to take a demon as my apprentice. They’re very capable.”

Song Chunxue nodded, "That's true."

She went to the kitchen and got a pot of tea, intending to go back to her room to rest for a while, and then go down the mountain to visit her second son's house.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she reached the door, she noticed a strange aura lingering there.

"Don't move! Something unclean has been here. It's an evil cultivator!" Wuyou appeared, and then with a few "swish, swish, swish" sounds, he made a few feints towards the door. The aura, like mist, rushed towards Song Chunxue's direction.

Song Chunxue immediately drew her Overlord Sword, and with a few powerful and domineering sword energies, she dispersed the aura.

What's that noise?

Zhang Chengxuan ran over, still holding a sword, "Did someone attack you?"

Song Chunxue pointed to a small wisp of aura that had fled. Before she could say anything, Qi Yun and Han Mo appeared on the roof and then chased after the wisp of aura.

Zhang Chengxuan sheathed his sword. "It seems they haven't given up yet, and they're after you."

"Looks like I'll have to put up talismans at the door when I go out from now on." Song Chunxue didn't think there was anything wrong with that.

"No, we have to get Master here. Ordinary people can't do anything to them."

Without hesitation, Zhang Chengxuan quickly cast a spell to transmit his voice over a thousand miles.

“Master, we have discovered traces of evil spirits on Wuquan Mountain. They are after my junior brother. We hope you will come to us.”

Song Chunxue felt that there was no need to disturb her master with these small commotions.

"You still underestimate their sinister intentions. I heard the other day that a group of people in the martial arts world have been committing evil deeds in order to cultivate and achieve immortality."

Zhang Chengxuan looked at the sky and sighed softly, "The country is unstable, and the world is already in danger. Various forces are poised to take advantage of the situation and want to annex each other and become kings. Only the common people will suffer."

“You are an ordinary citizen too!” He looked at Song Chunxue. “Behave yourself for the next few years. There’s no need for you to go down the mountain for training.”

Song Chunxue sniffed. "Okay."

Fortunately, Wuquan Mountain and Lingyun Mountain are not far apart, and the Moon-Accompanying Immortal arrived in less than an hour after receiving the news.

"What do you need me for?"

Upon entering the main hall, the Moon-Accompanying Immortal couldn't help but smile, "Not bad, not bad, you've improved again."

But he quickly suppressed his smile, saying, "You haven't learned to conceal your true abilities yet, so it's perfectly normal for you to be targeted by those with ulterior motives."

Before Song Chunxue could even perform the proper greeting, the Moon-Accompanying Immortal cast a talisman on her from afar and added two layers of magic.

"Alright, now no one will be thinking about you..." The Moon-Accompanying Immortal paused for a moment, "It seems you're not practicing my sect's swordsmanship. Did you take some kind of elixir?"

"She's incredibly lucky; someone practically offered her swordsmanship, so she probably knows a thing or two."

Song Chunxue confessed honestly, "I met a little deity before, who gave me the Guiyi Sword Technique."

"The Return to One Sword Technique?" Immortal Banyue exclaimed in surprise. "Wasn't it lost to time? How did you manage to obtain it? Can I take a look?"

Song Chunxue handed over a small booklet.

"Let me take a look first." Immortal Banyue immediately sat cross-legged. "I also need to stay here for a few days. Please give me a room."

"good."

Zhang Chengxuan and Song Chunxue walked out of the main hall. "Even Master thinks this sword technique is extraordinary. Can you teach me?"

"Okay, but I have one condition."

Zhang Chengxuan frowned, "You're trying to negotiate with me? All that effort I poured my heart and soul into teaching you the basics back then was wasted!"

Song Chunxue clasped her hands together and begged for forgiveness repeatedly. "Master, why have you been speaking so harshly lately? You have such a bad temper!"

"Senior brother, I was wrong. I was just joking. I wanted to take this opportunity to ask you to come down the mountain with me and visit the second brother's house. Why are you so angry? Don't hurt your voice."

Master Zhang then turned around, his expression quite spirited.

Tsk, I wonder what triggered him recently.

"I'm not going."

"Alright, alright, if you don't want to go, then you don't want to go," Song Chunxue finally realized what was going on. "Is it because of Tudan'er that you're so upset?"

Zhang Chengxuan remained silent, truly bringing up the very thing he shouldn't have said.

In the past, Tu Dan'er would pester him to learn this and that whenever he had time, but now, he can hardly be seen doing it from morning till night.

The little rascal, his heart has already run off with someone else.

You heartless bastard!

“I understand, I understand. That’s how I felt after my daughter Hongying got married, but you get used to it after a while, so don’t…”

Before he could finish speaking, Zhang Chengxuan had already walked away.

Song Chunxue had to clean her master's room herself.

The courtyard was full, so she made a clean bed in the room furthest from hers, where the women were staying, and swept the dust off the floor and walls.

Qi Yun came with water and helped wipe the table.

"This room is a bit too plain, but the lighting is good. It's just a bit too empty. Should we put a tea table and a rattan chair in there?"

That's true. It's the first time Master has come here, and Song Chunxue feels that nothing has been added to this place in a long time, so it's not grand enough.

"Okay, let's buy a set then. You go and help air out the blankets."

Qi Yun followed her, "Master, I'll go with you."

Song Chunxue looked at him and asked, "You're paying?"

"Okay, I'll pay." Qi Yun clapped his hands with a smile. "I'm going to change my clothes."

Stop dawdling.

"yes!"

In the evening, Song Chunxue bought a comfortable pear wood tea table and a rattan chair and placed them in her master's room.

In order to avoid attracting attention, they went to great lengths to ensure that the seller did not notice them putting their furniture into the storage ring while they were in a hurry.

I never expected that my master would still be in the main hall, reading that booklet.

Is that booklet really that good?

Everyone else was busy preparing food to welcome the Moon-Accompanying Immortal.

Song Chunxue arrived at the main hall.

"Master?"

"Hmm." The Moon-Accompanying Immortal opened his eyes upon hearing this and stood up. "I practiced it several times in my consciousness and gained a lot."

"That's good. I'm glad Master doesn't blame me for accepting things from others. Master, would you like dinner? The children are already preparing it," she said, a little embarrassed. "Also, a few days ago, when I accompanied Han Mo to see his old friend, I was so angry that I took a male fox spirit as my disciple. I haven't asked Master about this yet..."

The Moon-Accompanying Immortal shook his head. "No need to ask for permission. Taking on a disciple is your own wish, and I will not interfere. However, I need to see him. Perhaps your troubles are caused by him."
