Chapter 292: The Lord of Hell and Ah Lu

It is said that the dual cultivation aura of the Chaste Maiden's Joyous Union was previously detectable only by Ye Tinglan; now that so much time has passed, logically no one should be able to perceive it anymore, yet this Elder Feng still saw through it.

Is it because he has conducted special research on this matter, or can those of the Supreme Grade perceive it regardless of how much time has passed?

If it is the former, can you perceive the faint dual cultivation aura between me and your Sect Master...

If it is the latter, then what if Yuan Muyu sees it...

Er, even if she sees it, so what? What does it have to do with her?

Lu Xingzhou spoke cautiously: "I did indeed dual cultivate with someone from the Chaste Maiden's Joyous Union Sect... Elder Feng's meaning is..."

Could it be that you intend to expel me from the Heavenly Yao Sacred Land...

Feng Ziliu saw through his thoughts and said indifferently: "Since the Sect Master does not mind, why should I overstep my bounds? I asked you about this matter only out of confusion; as far as I know, there are very few who dual cultivate with someone from the Chaste Maiden's Joyous Union Sect and remain uncontrolled. Of course, I must ask for clarity to avoid bringing harm to the Sect."

"Asking for clarity rather than driving me away directly indicates that Senior also believes the possibility of remaining uncontrolled is quite high?"

"... You are indeed quick to grasp the situation; that is indeed the case."

"Since Senior believes that those who dual cultivate with the Chaste Maiden's Joyous Union Sect rarely remain uncontrolled, yet you judge that I will most likely be fine, it indicates that Senior has at least seen others who were fine... otherwise you would not have accepted this so simply."

Feng Ziliu's cheek twitched: "Am I asking you, or are you asking me?"

Lu Xingzhou said: "The other one who was fine must be Senior himself, right?"

Feng Ziliu's eyes widened, and there was almost shock in them.

Where did the Sect Master find such a monster? Oh no, where did Yuan Muyu find such a monster?

Lu Xingzhou said: "It is rumored that in the past, Senior was also a hero in the Jianghu with fine clothes and a furious horse, but later lost heart and retired to hide in the Scripture Pavilion. Could this be related to the Xuan Maiden?"

Feng Ziliu was truly at a loss for words: "Even if the other one who was fine was me, how dare you judge that it was the Xuan Maiden? To have intercourse with the Xuan Maiden and suffer no ill effects, do you really think I am some kind of immortal...?"

"Others feel they have no qualification to get involved with Senior in any way." Lu Xingzhou said cautiously: "Is it truly not the Xuan Maiden?"

"I do not know if it was or not; the Xuan Maiden has countless incarnations, it is hard to say." Feng Ziliu essentially admitted everything, yet clearly did not wish to discuss it deeply, and consequently did not want to ask further about Lu Xingzhou's affairs either. He then whisked Lu Xingzhou away at lightning speed toward the Ruins of the Five Elements.

Lu Xingzhou, however, tirelessly gossiped: "If Senior truly has experience of having 'that' with the Xuan Maiden and remaining unharmed, then you must pass it on to your unofficial disciple. The one I encountered was not the Xuan Maiden, but what if I meet her?"

"You actually want to meet the Xuan Maiden!" Feng Ziliu said angrily: "If you are tired of living, you can simply find a block of tofu and smash your head against it; why consider such a complicated problem!"

"Mainly because such experience cannot be found anywhere under heaven; my own master is the only one. Not asking for advice feels like having ants crawling all over my body. I even suffered qi deviation in the Ruins of the Five Elements because of this."

Feng Ziliu fell silent for a moment: "It seems I misjudged you... How could I have thought you were a kind and good young man?"

Lu Xingzhou: "... I also do not know why you would think that."

Feng Ziliu said speechlessly: "Furthermore, I am not your master. I only mentioned 'unofficial disciple' to make your identity stand up. As for other things..."

He paused, then spoke in a low voice: "The Chaste Maiden's Profound Art is merely a method of Yin and Yang, following an extremely Yin path. You bear the meaning of balancing Yin and Yang and harmonizing Fire and Water; you are naturally the best candidate to counter this art. Why ask me?"

Lu Xingzhou was stunned: "Senior knows the Supreme Art of Yin and Yang?"

"I do not know, but the nature of your cultivation technique is easy to judge."

Lu Xingzhou felt somewhat regretful; if even a senior like a sweeping monk did not know, then where else could he look...

Seeing his regret, Feng Ziliu suddenly understood: "You have been searching for so many records and texts related to Yin and Yang to complete your own cultivation technique?"

"Yes. Does Senior have any relevant clues?"

"Is this not looking for a donkey while riding a donkey?" Feng Ziliu said: "If there is anyone in the world who has seen this ancient art, then the greatest possibility in this world is the Xuan Maiden."

Lu Xingzhou felt a bit numb.

If he cannot complete the Supreme Art of Yin and Yang, he will most likely not dare to face the Xuan Maiden directly; this does not refer to doing 'that kind of thing', but rather that in combat he would definitely possess relevant countermeasures and have more confidence. Yet the clues to completing the Supreme Art of Yin and Yang might lie with the Xuan Maiden herself; is this not a dead end?

"In addition..." Feng Ziliu glanced at Lu Xingzhou: "You have always fought with fists and palms; do you not cultivate weapons?"

Lu Xingzhou nodded: "In my early years, my luck was poor, and I sat in a wheelchair for many years. Regarding weapons, I was only suitable for cultivating hidden weapons. Now that I am standing, I do not like to pick up the memories of the wheelchair again; I prefer fighting with fists and feet, as that makes me feel everything is so real."

Feng Ziliu nodded slightly, completely understanding Lu Xingzhou's feelings.

Lu Xingzhou added: "Anyway, the higher a Wu Xiu's level, the less impact the presence or absence of a weapon has, is it not?"

"That is because you have not encountered a Divine Weapon. Whether there is a Divine Weapon or not still makes a difference... Moreover, if you encounter a Daoist's magical treasure, lacking a flying sword or similar weapon to deal with it puts you at a great disadvantage." Feng Ziliu said: "However, it is indeed different from the impact of having or not having a weapon at lower levels. Since you are already accustomed to fists and feet, continuing with fists and feet is no problem. But since you also cultivate the Dao, you should also consider magical treasures."

Lu Xingzhou thought silently that his requirements for magical treasures were not high, mainly because he already had the wheelchair and the Ten Thousand Souls Banner. The wheelchair integrated many functions, and the Ten Thousand Souls Banner was even more terrifyingly powerful. Magical treasures are valued for quality rather than quantity; many people collect a large number of magical treasures, yet few can actually be put to use. Therefore, Lu Xingzhou rarely considered acquiring any magical treasures, and Ye Tinglan also felt it was not very necessary, preferring to specialize in the wheelchair's functions instead.

Otherwise, my lord the Holy Master could casually pull something out that would be enough to keep a harem of male concubines for many years...

But the problem is that nowadays the Ten Thousand Souls Banner is becoming increasingly unsuitable for use in public, and pulling out a wheelchair to fight in daily life is quite awkward. For example, during this so-called Great Battle in the Sea, a perfectly normal person pulling out a wheelchair to fight would make the scene somewhat...

"Although the Sect Master can certainly bestow upon you a suitable magical treasure to handle this Great Battle, and that level will certainly not shortchange you, I still believe that no matter how high the grade of someone else's magical treasure, it will ultimately not compare to one custom-made for oneself." Feng Ziliu said: "Both the Ruins of the Five Elements and the Ten Thousand Swords Graveyard bury many discarded flying swords and magical treasures from predecessors. Using these as embryos to forge one's own is more efficient than starting from scratch to customize. Since you are going to the Ruins of the Five Elements, you might as well pay attention."
