Chapter 1750 A new way of cultivation
The restaurant was closed.
——-because it hadn’t opened in the first place, there was no need to put up any signs.
This was a relatively secluded location, and there was already a sound-proofing formation arranged around it, so there was no fear of any commotion.
Qin Xiao Lou was sitting on top of a chair with his eyes tightly closed, his expression continuously changing.
“No…”
“Don’t… don’t…”
“We’re just drinking, don’t do anything else…”
He was mumbling non-stop.
His tone was growing increasingly quicker, his body was also squirming uncomfortably.
At this point, a female voice called out:
“Enough”
Qin Xiao Lou immediately turned silent, his body went limp, and he started to snore. —–he was now fully asleep.
The Tianma girl who used the charming technique stopped, bowed to Xie Dao Ling, then swiftly stood to one side.
Xie Dao Ling said with an indifferent expression: “Who would have thought that the descendants of the past Profound Immortals would now have to resort to such means against living beings?”
Li An stood out and explained: [ This is merely our means of defense, in truth, we would not let ourselves go and willingly fall into depravity)
“Oh? Are your circumstances tough?” Xie Dao Ling’s tone softened a bit and asked.
[ The heavenly beings of the previous Samsara have all been executed, only our Profound Immortal lineage remains, surviving day by day Li An closed her eyes and lowered her gaze.
Xie Dao Ling looked at her closely and asked: “I’ve kept quiet this entire time because I thought that this was my disciple’s own business, but now that you’ve shown yourself, I need you to answer one thing: Why can your Inner Sight attach itself on my disciple’s body and continue following him?”
Killing intent abruptly appeared from her body, which was fully directed towards Li An.
The entire restaurant fell silent.
Li An paused briefly before casually replying: [ We of the Profound Immortal lineage made a Profound Immortal vow with him to act in conjunction for both of our mutual benefits during the Samsara Clash for Supremacy Gu Qing Shan, having finally found the chance to speak, quickly stood up, cleared his throat, and explained everything that had happened up to this point.
The battle against Qi Yan, eliminating the demonized people, and cooperating against the two High Sequence Apocalypses, all of them were remarkable feats, and Xie Dao Ling just sat there silently listening.
“So that’s how things were, it seems everything had been a misunderstanding” Xie Dao Ling casually commented.
“That’s indeed the case, Shifu” Gu Qing Shan affirmed.
“Hm… You are my disciple, and the original members of the Profound Immortal lineage have all most likely perished, the fact that their descendants have been able to become your allies can also be considered our karma, the karma of the legitimate Heaven realm’s inheritance”
Xie Dao Ling’s tone had gradually returned to normal, it was no longer as frigid as before.
Both Li An and Gu Qing Shan silently sighed in relief.
——-when the Tianma arrived earlier, they just happened to run into Shifu as she came out.
Seeing how the descendants of the Profound Immortals acted, especially when they were trying to seduce her disciple, she was only one second away from eradicating them all.
It wasn’t until just now that they were able to clearly explain everything.
Xie Dao Ling stood up and walked next to Qin Xiao Lou, asking him:
“Tell me, how many times did you bring your junior brothers and sister out to drink in brothels?”
“I’ve never brought the junior sisters, and I only brought third brother out once” Qin Xiao Lou’s eyes were still closed and subconsciously answered.
“Tell me in detail everything that happened” Xie Dao Ling continued.
The Tianma girls then turned their gazes away to look at the decoration within the restaurant, acting as if they weren’t listening.
Li An simply gave Gu Qing Shan a sidelong glance. Gu Qing Shan lowered his gaze, wishing that he had something to drink right now.
Qin Xiao Lou then slowly explained: “Explain in detail everything that happened… nothing happened at all. At first, we were sitting in the main lobby, drinking while listening to their singing. But when the owner had us go upstairs to choose the girls we wanted, I was panicking a bit”
“Because of how much money I was spending at the time, I didn’t bring enough with me. If we had gone up that way, we would definitely be chased back down, causing harm to the reputation of our Bai Hua sect—— but since that was the first time I brought junior brother out, I still wanted to maintain my pride, I was stuck between a rock and a hard place”
Xie Dao Ling then asked: “Then, what about your third brother”
–
–
–
Qin Xiao Lou answered: “Third brother… he appeared very calm when he was looking upstairs, but he was using an empty cup to drink with me——- I assume that he was panicking even more than I was, and come to think of it——– while we had no money to our name, how could we throw away our precious male chastity so easily?”
“And so, we just left”
The restaurant was filled with stifling silence.
Xie Dao Ling then struck Qin Xiao Lou’s forehead with her palm.
Qin Xiao Lou slowly woke back up.
“Huh? Third brother, did I fall asleep just now?”
“—–wait a minute, where did so many beautiful fairies come from? Did Shifu accept more junior sisters into the sect?”
He asked with a clearly excited expression.
Gu Qing Shan covered his face.
Li An and the Tianma girls around her all lowered their heads.
Xie Dao Ling narrowed her eyes and stared straight at Qin Xiao Lou:
“For better or worse, you are still the second-ranking disciple of the sect, you should be the role model for all of your junior brothers and sisters. How could you only spend effort on playing around without cultivating yourself?”
Qin Xiao Lou complained: “Shifu, I’ve been cultivating myself this entire time, there’s no chance for me to play around at all”
Xie Dao Ling turned to Gu Qing Shan and asked: “How does he usually cultivate?”
“It’s like this… We have a kite… in the sky…”
Gu Qing Shan explained.
Xie Dao Ling praised: “Hm, as expected of a teaching method that I thought of, but it is still not strict enough”
“Not strict enough?” Qin Xiao Lou was a bit surprised, then suddenly felt a bad feeling.
Xie Dao Ling turned around to look at Li An and said: “In the past, the Profound Immortal lineage was responsible for punishment and rewards within the realm, I’ll leave you in charge of this matter. If the method you come up with can satisfy me, I don’t mind keeping you by my side”
Li An appeared ecstatic and respectfully replied: [ Understood! ]
A while later.
“Shifu, I’m heading out” Gu Qing Shan said.
“Hm, the Elements Purgatory is full of danger, make sure to take care of yourself” Xie Dao Ling replied.
Gu Qing Shan clasped his fist towards her, then turned around and left.
Xie Dao Ling is currently the master of the Key of the Wind, so her safety should be no issue, not to mention she needs some time to master the other abilities of the Key of the Wind.
—–the Tianma were allowed to remain.
Xie Dao Ling told Li An to remain by her side, apparently, there were some matters that needed further confirmation.
As for Qin Xiao Lou——–
As Gu Qing Shan walked through the main hall of the restaurant, he looked up and clasped his fist: “Senior brother, I’ll be leaving first”
“Third brother, take care of yourself, your brother is cultivating, so I won’t be able to help you in the foreseeable future”
Very quickly, Qin Xiao Lou’s voice could be heard from the ceiling.
“Don’t worry about me, senior brother can cultivate in peace” Gu Qing Shan looked up and encouraged him.
A single chopstick was propped straight up on the floor.
Then there was another chopstick on top of that chopstick.
And another one on top of that one. A few dozen chopsticks had been stacked vertically on top of one another until they reached the ceiling.
And Qin Xiao Lou was sitting directly on the topmost chopstick.
His butt cheeks were tightly gripping the end of the chopstick while he sat in a cross-legged posture, focused on cultivating.
This was a method of cultivation that permitted no relaxation at all.
As soon as one relaxes…
That chopstick would…
Immediately…
Gu Qing Shan silently sighed. ——Li An certainly fits her reputation as the most exceptional Tianma of her generation.
Gu Qing Shan opened the door and left the building
He left the alleyway, followed the path until he reached the main street, then followed the flow of the people to leave Luo Shui city before making his way back to the mountain top from before.
This was the mountain top where the Key of the Wind had dropped him and Xie Dao Ling off initially.
At the time, he and Xie Dao Ling had both seen an entrance to the Elements Purgatory near this mountain.
Some unnatural creatures could be seen rushing into the entrance.
Gu Qing Shan first looked for a secluded location before taking out the Reincarnation Gloom Orchid.
——-It’s about time to fight.
I don’t have [True Luck] right now, but it’s best for me to take a look and see if I can summon an appropriate supporter.
It’s great if I can.
If not, I can just undo the summoning.
Gu Qing Shan activated the Gloom Orchid.
Rays of bright red light manifested in the void of space and descended, gradually forming the shape of a gate.
Instantly, lines of notifications popped up in front of Gu Qing Shan’s eyes:
(You’ve activated Moon Invitation!]
[Moon Invitation’s summoning target is currently random]
[Attention: Due to the shared Title of ‘Pure Love Gang’ between you and a certain slumbering individual, you will definitely summon an individual that is compatible with the Title among countless slumbering Professionists]
[Attention, a female individual had joined the ‘Pure Love Gang’ on her own accord]
[—–For her entire life, she had been avoiding the power she possesses, never having the chance to be part of a truly passionate romance, which perfectly fits the Title’s requirements]
Gu Qing Shan appeared a bit surprised.
——aren’t all of them in slumber right now? How can someone join of their own volition?
What’s going on?
Some lines of glowing text then appeared:
(She is a girl carrying a unique title, the spokesperson of countless powerful entities, the fusion form of unique fate]
[She has arrived!)
Fwoom—–
The red gates opened.
A girl slowly walked out.
She sported a tight-fitting military uniform, profound facial features with brown eyes that naturally drew one’s eyes, black hair cut into a short bob just above her shoulders, only half a head shorter compared to Gu Qing Shan. Overall, a very simple appearance.
However, no one would dare to underestimate the power she possessed. ——they were truly terrifying. “Long time no see” Gu Qing Shan greeted.
“Long time indeed—– I assume that they’ve never actually thought that such a day would come” the girl commented.
“What kind of day?” Gu Qing Shan asked.
The girl smiled and replied: “While they were from two opposing factions, the (Harbinger of Dawn) and (Songster of Night) would stand together fighting for the sake of living beings”
——among Gu Qing Shan’s numerous Titles, there was a unique one:
(Slumbering Era’s Songster of Night).
Hearing her say that, Gu Qing Shan also felt a bit emotional.
It felt like it was just yesterday when he was still fighting against [Chaos], but the Apocalypses had already swept through the entire Space Vortex.
Too many things had happened since then.
And now, to obtain the ultimate weapon that was the Samsara, he could only do everything within his capabilities.
“I can only help the supporter I summon retain one of their abilities, so which ability did you retain?” Gu Qing Shan asked.
“Of course a combative ability—— you saved me from my Fate in the past, so I’d naturally come to your aid. However, before that, there is something I need to tell you” the girl simply replied.
As the light slowly faded, the red gate that was used for her summoning gradually faded away.
The girl stood immediately in front of Gu Qing Shan.
——she was Ye Ru Xi.
The unique Deity of the (Chaos] faction, (Apocalypse End’s Harbinger of Dawn]
She had arrived in this world!
