Chapter 491
Gu Hanyuan "Sword Flighted" to Mount Zhongnan.
He had no intention of causing trouble for the Quanzhen Sect.
Qiu Chuji often caused him trouble,
but a sect without even a single Grandmaster wasn't worth his attention.
He would leave them for the "Bixie Guards" to grow and farm reputation later.
Gu Hanyuan was here to see Little Dragon Maiden and Li Mochou.
When he had parted with the two women,
the "Yin-Yang Art" had not yet finished merging,
so he was here to deliver the cultivation method.
And incidentally, to see Lin Chaoying
and cultivate her into a new furnace.
Little Dragon Maiden and Li Mochou were still cultivating in the Ancient Tomb.
He did, however, meet Lin Chaoying outside the tomb.
The small thatched cottage outside the tomb had been renovated,
not only becoming much sturdier
but also gaining a stone table and stone stools.
Lin Chaoying was currently sitting on a stone stool, sighing and lamenting.
She stroked the corner of her eye,
and said to herself with a listless expression:
"The effect of the Jade Bee Jelly is about to fail."
Although the Ancient Tomb Sect's cultivation method could delay aging,
and the Jade Bee Jelly had the effect of preserving youth and nourishing Qi,
it was not an immortal medicine after all.
How could it keep one young forever?
Lin Chaoying had discovered a fine line at the corner of her eye this morning,
feeling the passage of time and the decay of youth,
which led to her current scene of sighing and lamenting.
Just as Lin Chaoying was lamenting,
she heard a teasing laugh from above.
"Senior is stunningly beautiful, rare in the world. Such a scene of a beauty lamenting makes my heart ache."
Lin Chaoying was startled,
looked up,
and saw Gu Hanyuan, dressed in white, descending with the soft sunlight.
Lin Chaoying didn't mind Gu Hanyuan's teasing,
and was even slightly delighted by his praise.
But thinking back to the time she made him practice the "Jade Maiden Heart Sutra" with her two grand-disciples,
she couldn't help but roll her eyes.
So she said unpleasantly:
"What are you here for?"
Then she praised:
"You really do have the bearing of an immortal descending to earth. No wonder the name 'Three Absolute Sword Immortal' is spreading through the Jianghu."
Gu Hanyuan also noticed the fine line at the corner of Lin Chaoying's eye,
but she was still exquisitely beautiful and graceful.
He smiled modestly:
"Senior, you flatter me."
Lin Chaoying suddenly felt a bit discouraged:
"I thought it would take another ten years for you to stand side-by-side with me. I didn't expect that in just a few months, you would have far surpassed me. I really don't know how you, this monster, cultivate."
Gu Hanyuan smiled modestly again:
"Just a bit of good fortune. I don't deserve Senior's excessive praise."
Lin Chaoying rolled her eyes coquettishly,
not believing his words at all.
She asked curiously:
"Did that Wutian really kill the old monk Wuse?"
Gu Hanyuan said solemnly:
"I wasn't present at the time, but I verified it afterwards. Zen Master Wuse did indeed die at Wutian's hands."
Lin Chaoying's mood also became heavy,
and she exclaimed:
"Wutian's strength is truly shocking."
Gu Hanyuan said with regret:
"Although I haven't fought Wutian, I once exchanged a move with Zen Master Wuse. For Wutian to kill Zen Master Wuse in a single encounter, I fear he has no equal among Earth Immortals."
"With Wutian acting so unscrupulously, I fear no one will be able to control him in the future."
Lin Chaoying revealed a look of wariness.
Although she was a Jianghu person,
her family had some connections with the Song court,
and she was very worried that Wutian would wreak havoc in the Jianghu
and destroy the precarious balance of the Song state.
However, thinking of Gu Hanyuan, who had monstrous talent
and had shaken the Jianghu at such a young age,
she subconsciously placed her hope in him.
A pair of beautiful eyes stared at Gu Hanyuan,
and she asked curiously:
"I heard you even injured the old monk Wuse?"
Gu Hanyuan revealed a look of shame:
"I feel deeply ashamed. If I hadn't injured Zen Master Wuse at the time, he might not have died at Wutian's hands."
Seeing this, Lin Chaoying consoled him:
"Don't blame yourself. Life and death are determined by fate; wealth is in the hands of heaven. The old monk Wuse had been forcing himself to live until now; death is actually a release for him."
Gu Hanyuan's expression shifted.
He feigned curiosity and asked:
"What do you mean by that?"
However, Lin Chaoying was cryptic:
"This is not something you should know yet."
Gu Hanyuan's eyes flickered,
and he became more vigilant.
He secretly guessed
that there were probably quite a few hidden old monsters.
He would find an opportunity to bomb the fish pond again.
Seeing that Lin Chaoying was unwilling to talk more about this,
Gu Hanyuan changed the subject:
"I wonder what Senior was lamenting about?"
Lin Chaoying said with a lonely expression:
