Chapter 113 Old Tales of the Mortal World
Chapter 113 Old Tales of the Mortal World
Before Yun Yici could explain the whole story, Ning Tinglan, who was by the bedside, also knelt on the ground.
Ning Tinglan said, "This matter is not solely my junior sister's fault; I am also at fault."
He overheard Shen Fengzhi's explanation to Yun Yici, so he had a rough idea of what was going on before the Outer Pavilion appeared in the world.
However, his promise to Shen Fengzhi prevented him from speaking.
Regarding the matter of Mu Yunjian and the modification of cultivation techniques, their residence had previously been occupied entirely by people from outside the sect.
He couldn't find a suitable opportunity to confess to Wen Fuyue, leaving her completely in the dark.
Wen Fuyue helped the two of them up before saying, "Get up and talk."
He waved his sleeve to create a silent barrier in the room before saying to Yun Yici, "I won't ask about the kindness the Lingwei Sect has shown us yet. Tell me first, where is your second senior brother?"
Trusting Ning Tinglan, Wen Fuyue had not previously investigated Mu Yunjian's whereabouts.
Now that the dust has settled, the safety of the disciple is naturally the top priority.
Yun Yici looked down, about to rummage through her sleeves, when she discovered that her clothes had been changed. Ning Tinglan quickly returned the storage bags, spirit beast bags, and other items in the room to her.
Yun Yici emptied the little rabbit from the spirit beast bag, and the round, chubby rabbit rolled in her hand. Only then did everyone realize that it seemed to have grown a bit.
The baby rabbit, which was originally the size of a palm, is now as big as Yun Yici's outstretched palm.
He was breathing steadily and sleeping peacefully, except for a bright red spot on his forehead that looked like a flickering flame.
Yun Yici explained, "Senior Jiuying gave his life essence to Senior Brother Mu and helped him refine it. It will probably take a few days before he wakes up."
"The Senior Brother Mu outside now is the little fox demon I subdued when I subdued the painting artifact. He is proficient in illusion magic, so I had him temporarily replace Senior Brother Mu to prevent others from discovering that something was wrong."
Wen Fuyue exclaimed in surprise, "The Nine-Headed Serpent is an ancient demon beast, how could it so easily give away its life essence? Could it be...?"
Thinking about the chaos of the past few days, it turns out that the Twelve Sects were embroiled in a debate over whether the Lingwei Sect's members were inheritors or living people.
Yun Yici avoided Wen Fuyue's question and simply said, "Sect Leader Shen has modified our cultivation method."
Ning Tinglan took out the original sword manual that Shen Fengzhi had given her from her storage bag, as well as the old version of the Mortal World Cultivation Technique that she had personally revised, and handed it to Wen Fuyue.
Ning Tinglan had already seen it, and he felt that Shen Fengzhi's revised sword techniques and mental cultivation methods were more exquisite and profound.
He couldn't quite put his finger on what was so good about it, but Wen Fuyue probably knew the significance of this sword manual.
Upon learning that her family's core cultivation technique had been leaked to outsiders, Wen Fuyue's expression darkened instinctively, but she ultimately refrained from blaming her disciple.
He took the improved version of the mental cultivation method and sword manual from Ning Tinglan and carefully examined them. His expression gradually changed from solemn to conflicted, and finally turned into a long sigh.
He said, "You've been very kind."
Ning Tinglan asked nervously, "Will this improved technique be useful? Sect Leader Shen said he changed the requirement to sever emotions and eliminate desires for us."
Shen Fengzhi's original intention was that their ancestor only obtained the latter part of the mental cultivation method, and valued the advantage of the later stage of clear mind and unobstructed path.
The initial part was supplemented by his later techniques, requiring disciples to be free from distractions and desires.
Without desires, there are naturally no offspring. In the end, one is free from all worldly ties and focuses solely on the Great Dao to ensure that one meets the requirements for later stages of cultivation.
However, the original cultivation method was not like this at all, so this cultivation method does look quite good because their lineage in the mortal world has remained unmoved by desires generation after generation.
The downside is that once desire takes hold, there is no turning back.
Therefore, Shen Fengzhi repaired the flawed parts of the early version for them as much as possible using the original cultivation method, which can be regarded as a transition between the mortal world cultivation method and the main text.
Before Wen Fuyue could answer, Rong Xuan, who was always shrewd and diplomatic, said coldly, "Master, I suddenly feel unwell, so I will take my leave now."
Wen Fuyue said, "Go ahead."
After the three watched Rong Xuan leave, Yun Yici said, "Senior Brother Rong didn't seem uncomfortable; he seemed rather unhappy. Could it be that we offended him somehow?"
Wen Fuyue hesitated for a moment, but still said, "This matter has nothing to do with you. However, there is something I should not hide from you, but it involves our elders and concerns your senior brother's background."
"You must not reveal this to outsiders, and do not look at your senior brother differently because of this."
Yun Yici immediately sensed something was wrong, and Ning Tinglan also asked, "Senior Brother's background? Wasn't he raised by Master since he was a child?"
Wen Fuyue originally didn't intend to speak, but the martial arts manual in her hand felt incredibly heavy.
If they had obtained this opportunity earlier, his master and senior sister wouldn't have ended up in this situation.
Wen Fuyue said, "Your grandmaster is named Rong Yan, and he is still alive. When I discussed the matter of improving the cultivation method with Lan'er, I wanted to find my master and start from him."
Ning Tinglan and Yun Yici exchanged a surprised glance. The fact that Rong Xuan shared the same surname as this grandmaster already spoke volumes.
Yun Yici asked cautiously, "Could it be that Senior Brother Rong's father is..."
Wen Fuyue nodded slightly, confirming their guess: "Yes."
Yun Yici was shocked. This wasn't just falling in love; they were already pregnant.
It is unknown what kind of woman could have caused them to abandon their positions and responsibilities as the mortal master and disciples.
Wait, wait, wait... She remembered that once when she bought tea and snacks for Wen Fuyue, Wen Fuyue mentioned that he had a senior sister.
However, this senior apprentice has never appeared since.
No way? !
Wen Fuyue said, "I was only seven or eight years old when I entered the sect. My senior sister is ten years older than me and is like a sister and a mother to me."
"I practiced worldly cultivation techniques with my senior sister, but unexpectedly, her cultivation path became increasingly blocked."
You can't discover it without comparison.
Wen Fuyue was very young at the time, and she was overjoyed by the delicious snacks her master brought back from the foot of the mountain.
This is his greatest desire.
Therefore, compared to his senior sister who harbored girlish thoughts, his progress was rapid.
After Wen Fuyue learned the truth, she recalled her memories from that year and felt that her senior sister's changes were not without reason.
Their master, Rong Yan, was a handsome and refined man, whose appearance and personality were similar to, or even better than, Rong Xuan's.
Although their master practiced worldly techniques, it did not prevent other female cultivators from admiring him.
Senior Sister always paid special attention to the female cultivators who appeared beside Master.
She was concerned that he would ask the young boy to interrupt his master's private time with the other female cultivators.
When the master accompanies the senior sister to practice alone, the senior sister will be especially happy that day.
Senior Sister doesn't like sweets or meat, but every time Master comes back from the mountain, no matter what food he brings back and divides it between the two of them, she will eat it all.
The senior sister had been secretly observing all of her master's preferences and subtly trying to please him.
......
Young Wen Fuyue didn't think anything of it, but Rong Yan still noticed.
Enraged, Rong Yan, in order to quell his disciple's delusions, announced to the public that he already had a wife he had chosen in his heart.
From that day on, no matter how hard my senior sister tried to cultivate, her cultivation level did not improve at all.
