"Master, you know I will definitely come down the mountain."
Looking tenderly at the misty rain on the cliff, her voice was soft and gentle, her eyes filled with expectation and reluctance.
She yearns for the great path, yet also bears the burden of blood feud.
Therefore, she had long regarded the brilliant golden elixir as her own, and would kill anyone who stood in her way, and even heaven itself if it tried to stop her.
Why can't a small act of tenderness be accompanied by such soaring ambition?
She may appear weak, but her heart is anything but. Otherwise, she wouldn't have dared to traverse millions of miles of territory alone to reach Qin Beast when she was only nine years old.
"well............"
Finally, Qin Shou sighed softly and silently agreed to Wen Qing's words.
"Actually, I knew long ago that you would eventually leave the mountain, but I was just a little reluctant to let you go."
Qin Shou's eyes were red-rimmed, and he raised his sleeve to wipe the corners of his eyes.
She is both his own disciple and his senior sister's daughter.
If possible, Qin Shou naturally hoped that she could stay by his side and live a carefree life.
But some things, in the end, must be faced.
"Master, I will definitely come back."
He said warmly.
Upon hearing this, Qin Shou suddenly felt even more sorrowful. It was as if gusts of wind and snow were brushing past his ears, carrying with them those distant words, "Junior brother, senior sister will come back to see you," "Junior brother, senior sister will come back to see you," "Junior brother..."
"Phew~"
Qin Shou suddenly came to his senses and took a deep breath.
"Alright, let's go down the mountain then. It's not like we're never coming back."
Qin Shou laughed loudly:
"My disciple, since you are going down the mountain today, I will give you some treasures for protection."
As he spoke, Qin Shou took out one treasure after another and explained their functions to Wen Qing in great detail.
"This is the Wind-Riding Boat, a low-grade magic treasure. A flight array is inscribed inside; infused with spiritual power, it can ride the wind and travel 30,000 li per day."
"This is the Eight Trigrams Purple Robe, a top-grade magic treasure. It is engraved with the Eight Trigrams diagram. Wearing it will grant you invisibility and can also conceal your spiritual root, cultivation level, and aura. It is an essential treasure for those who want to play dumb and outsmart others. Please keep it safe."
"And this is the Seven-Star Dragon-Treading Boots, a top-grade magic weapon. Wearing it will increase your speed tenfold. When used in conjunction with the [Dragon-Startling Step], your speed will be even faster, and even ordinary Golden Core cultivators will not be able to catch up with you."
"By the way, you must diligently practice the [Dragon Step] technique I taught you last time; it's an excellent skill for escaping."
Qin Shou kept muttering to himself.
Wen Qing, standing to the side, was drooling with envy. Sure enough, her master had a lot of good stuff!
"Oh! And this too. This is the perfect pill I just refined, the Water Spirit Pill. Since you have a water spirit root, once you reach the Golden Core realm, taking it will allow your cultivation to progress by leaps and bounds."
Qin Shou took out a jade bottle and put it into Wen Qing's arms. Inside were more than thirty Water Spirit Pills, all of which were perfect pills.
If these were sold, one of them could be exchanged for a common low-grade magic weapon.
"Master, I still don't know if I can form a golden core."
The gentle masseur said, "You should keep this precious medicine for yourself for now."
"I believe in you, and I can certainly make this kind of pill anytime, so please accept it without worry."
"Hmm... let me think, is there anything else I should prepare for you...?"
"Oh, right, how can you travel without money?"
"Here, this is five million top-grade spirit stones. Take it and spend it."
Qin Shou took out dozens of storage bags from the Spirit Treasure Pavilion, which were filled with top-grade spirit stones.
Wen Qing scanned the area with her spiritual sense and was immediately terrified.
I knew my mentor was rich, but I had no idea he was this rich!!!
"Waaaah~~, Master, you're so good to me!"
Moved by the warmth, tears streamed down her face as she rubbed them against Qin Shou's shoulder.
"Master, you've given me all your savings, what are you going to do with it?"
"Alas, my disciple, I originally intended to give you more money, but sometimes too much money might bring you trouble."
"Gah..."
Wen Qing was stunned for a moment.
What does this mean? Master still has so many spirit stones!!!
That's five million—top-grade spirit stones!
It's too early to be moved.
"Master, it's alright, I don't mind having too much."
"Stop joking around. Be careful when you're out and about. Also, that spirit puppet on you, I've already reforged it. It can now withstand attacks from a ninth-level Golden Core cultivator and even endure three blows from an early-stage Nascent Soul cultivator."
"Understood, Master, I've remembered."
"Sigh, never mind, I'll give you another treasure for self-defense."
Qin Shou was still somewhat uneasy, so he summoned the Seven-Colored Exquisite Pagoda, formed hand seals, and sent the pagoda into Wen Qing's sea of consciousness.
"This is a top-grade spiritual treasure, the Seven-Colored Exquisite Pagoda. Your cultivation is currently too weak to wield its power, but I have infused it with a wisp of my divine consciousness. If you encounter danger, you can activate the pagoda with your spiritual consciousness, and it will shield you from attacks and carry you far away."
"At most, the power I can currently muster is enough to ensure your successful escape if a Nascent Soul cultivator in the early or mid-stages is caught off guard."
"Master, you're so kind to me."
Wenqing hugged Qin Shou's arm and snuggled against his shoulder, acting coquettishly.
"Hmph, knowing how good your master is to you, you still went down the mountain."
Qin Shou snorted coldly and continued:
"Now that you've descended the mountain, let me offer you a few more words of advice."
"Please speak, Master."
"The world is a dangerous place; if things don't work out, retreat."
When in doubt, the best course of action is to run away.
"The nail that sticks out gets hammered down; one must learn to follow one's heart..."
Warmth: ? ? ? ? ?
"Master, you don't need to say anything more, I understand. It all boils down to one word: 'survival'."
"Hmm, not bad, it captures my essence perfectly."
Qin Beast was very satisfied.
He felt that with so much warmth and his own understanding and awareness of the "way of survival," he could be safe and sound on this trip down the mountain.
This time, Qin Shou took out most of his treasures, almost going bankrupt.
However, with the protection of the Four Spirits Sacred Array, he would not encounter any danger.
"My little darling, remember to protect yourself when you're out there. If you get hurt, all these treasures of yours will end up in someone else's hands."
Qin Shou held Wen Qing's small hand and said with tears in his eyes.
Warmth: ??? Master, if you keep talking, the emotion I just felt will disappear!
"Master, Senior Brother, Yi Cheng, I'm leaving."
With a warm farewell, he held a blue paper umbrella and drifted away in the misty rain.
Qin Shou stared at her retreating figure, speechless for a long time.
The misty rain seemed to overlap with the heavy snow of his past life, gradually blurring Qin Shou's vision...
Standing beside Qin Shou, Chang Sheng watched his junior sister's departing figure and said with some sadness:
"Master, I have entered middle age, while you remain young and as radiant as ever."
Qin Shou turned around, patted Changsheng on the shoulder, and laughed:
"Immortality, oh, immortality is unattainable, but why seek it? Just focus on your cultivation; even a slow bird can fly first."
Changsheng:.............Master, I'll take that as a compliment.
"Longevity! Master, I pray for longevity, I pray for longevity, for longevity and peace!"
Qin Shou, with his hands behind his back, grabbed Yi Cheng and left.
Changsheng was left alone, lost in thought amidst the misty rain, his mind replaying his master's words: "Changsheng, your master prays for Changsheng, and for Changsheng, for peace."
As I thought about it, I smiled.
"Master, let go of the goose! The goose wants to fight Da Bao!"
"Heh, now that you've been beaten black and blue, there'll be no one to put medicine on your face."
"Hmph, this time the goose is going to beat Da Bao black and blue."
"Wow, that's ambitious. Go for it!"
