Chapter 74: Luo Tian Dajiao! The Changes in Qing She

Make a divine statue?

What on earth is this?

Luo Daming no longer knew what his expression was, but he knew his expression must be very twisted.

How was this disciple's brain grown?

"Look, when worshipping the patriarch, power can emerge from the patriarch's divine statue, so I was thinking, since Grandmaster's Yang Spirit resides upon it, perhaps it could also be preserved."

"I say, stop tormenting your Grandmaster."

Luo Daming thought about it, and it really was a possibility.

But this was indeed a bit too shocking.

Moreover, if it could not succeed, it might cause irreversible damage to Fang Dongtian's Yang Spirit.

"Alright, then I'll think about it some more!"

Lin Xuan nodded upon hearing this; it was indeed a bit of a hassle, and even if it truly succeeded, residing in a clay sculpture forever wasn't a solution, so he still had to think about how to extend Fang Dongtian's life.

It wasn't that he absolutely had to do this.

Fang Dongtian's lifespan was indeed coming to an end, but since he might have the ability to do it, he naturally had to try.

As for the matter of transferring the Inner Elixir, he was just talking.

Even if it were truly possible, Fang Dongtian would not accept it.

The four of them left together.

"Let's talk about the Grand Daoist Ritual; during the time you were in seclusion, Tianshi Mansion called frequently to ask when you would emerge."

Luo Daming heard about the Grand Daoist Ritual being held at Longhu Mountain.

"Oh? Asking for me?"

"Yes, I suppose there is some matter, Grandmaster didn't say, so you can handle it as you see fit when the time comes."

"Fine, then this time?"

"Let Xingyang and Huang Ming go with you."

Luo Daming thought for a moment and said.

"You aren't going, sir?"

Lin Xuan looked at Luo Daming and asked; after all, he was the Daoist Master of Baiyun Guan, and the importance of the Grand Daoist Ritual to Daoism naturally went without saying.

"Didn't Grandmaster just say he was going? Then it's enough for Grandmaster to go; I have to handle matters at Baiyun Guan here."

"Hmm, that works too!"

Lin Xuan nodded; naturally, he wouldn't force it.

As Luo Daming and Lin Xuan walked, he thought about the information he knew regarding the Grand Daoist Ritual.

This time, Tianshi Mansion had sent invitations to all factions in the Outsider world.

They were publicly selecting the next successor to the Tianshi.

"Don't you enter the competition, otherwise it would count as bullying people; just let Huang Ming go down and go through the motions."

Luo Daming urged him again.

Lin Xuan naturally would not object to Luo Daming's words.

He was, of course, clear about the purpose of the Grand Daoist Ritual, and even more aware of the outcome of this Grand Daoist Ritual.

If he were to enter and actually win, the Tianshi side might really just go with the flow.

So, just watching from the sidelines would do.

Besides, having been in seclusion for so long, it was time to go out and walk around.

After all, if he were to continue on the path of Inner Elixir smelting, the time spent in seclusion would only grow longer.

"Then go back and prepare; as for things regarding the Outer Elixir, I can find some for you here, but just do what you can.

The Outer Elixir is, after all, a minor path."

"A minor path? Is that how Master sees it?"

Lin Xuan raised an eyebrow.

"Aside from our Great Dao of the Inner Elixir, everything else is a minor path."

Luo Daming said with his head tilted back.

"Uh, everything you say is correct!"

As the Daoist Master of Baiyun Guan and the leader of the Quanzhen Longmen Sect, was there anything wrong with being so firm in his belief in his own sect's cultivation method?

There was nothing wrong with it.

Lin Xuan and Luo Daming walked through the temple with Er She, and the Daoists in the temple who were doing various things looked as if they were focused on their own work.

It was quite like the look of someone slacking off at work when they run into their boss inspecting, then pretending to work intently.

Lin Xuan waved his hand and led Er She across the plaza in front of the main hall; other than being stopped by a few believers for photos, nothing else happened.

Once they returned to his residence, Lin Xuan turned his head to look at Er She.

"You seem to have questions."

"Yes, why is it that when humans cultivate to such a powerful realm, they can only live for so long?"

Qing She's delicate little face was full of confusion.

She and her sister had cultivated together, and even before taking human form, they could easily live for hundreds of years; as they cultivated on their own, their lifespans grew ever longer.

"I'm not clear on this either; perhaps this is just a limitation placed on humans."

Lin Xuan really couldn't give a definitive answer upon hearing this.

He could have guesses, but he couldn't confirm if the guesses were correct.

"Then, Benefactor, you won't die when you're only a hundred or so years old, will you? What would my sister and I do then?"

Xiao Qing frowned immediately, her face full of distress.

"Rest assured, when the day comes that I truly must leave, I will take you two with me."

Lin Xuan narrowed his eyes as he looked at Xiao Qing and said.

"That's good... hmm?"

Xiao Qing was delighted upon hearing this, but then she sensed something was wrong and stared at Lin Xuan with her mouth agape.

Take both her and her sister with him?

What did that mean?

"I'm joking."

Seeing Xiao Qing's expression, Lin Xuan raised his hand and pinched her cheek.

"I am only twenty-two today; even if it were as you said and I had over a hundred years left to live, it is not yet time to worry about that.

Besides, now that my inner core has formed, my lifespan has greatly increased; if I can break through to the next cultivation realm in the future, my lifespan will not be shorter than yours."

"That's good, I was worried; that way, my sister and I can stay with you, Benefactor, forever."

Xiao Qing was happy to hear this.

"Let's not talk about that for now; tell me about your cultivation."

As Lin Xuan spoke, his gaze swept over Er She.

Their figures were even better than before.

Simply put, their appearances were more perfect.

This also showed that Er She had not been lazy over these four years; although they had come out before, he hadn't looked closely, and it hadn't been obvious.

Looking at them now, the changes were quite significant.

"Benefactor, are you talking about this?"

As she spoke, Xiao Qing cupped her own two mounds, bounced them slightly, and put on a troubled expression.

"They are becoming more and more inconvenient."

This action made Lin Xuan's eyelid twitch, and he subconsciously looked away.

Xiao Qing, who had been looking troubled, saw Lin Xuan turn his gaze away and revealed a sly smile on her face.

In four years, with Er She's intelligence, they had basically learned everything they wanted to learn.

This included the rules of this world, how to conduct themselves, and the boundaries between men and women.

But in front of Lin Xuan, Xiao Qing just wanted to tease him.

She certainly understood that this action of hers was inappropriate, but she only displayed it in front of her Benefactor.

Bai She had the urge to cover her forehead.

"How about you help me check, Benefactor, to see if there is something wrong with my body."

As Xiao Qing spoke, she leaned in to hug Lin Xuan, but her forehead was stopped by Lin Xuan's raised finger.

"That's enough, there is nothing wrong with your body."

Lin Xuan felt somewhat helpless regarding Er She's situation.

However, it must be true that, according to legend, demons possess stunning beauty.

As their cultivation deepens, the bodies of demons who have taken human form will also change, evolving toward greater beauty.

That was exactly the case with Er She now.

It was just that four years should be considered a very short time for demon cultivation, yet the changes in Er She were surprisingly this great.

It seemed their progress was not small either.

"Really? Won't Benefactor use your hands to check?"

Xiao Qing bit her red lips with her pearly teeth and spoke again, quite seductively.

Then, she was dragged away by Bai She, who grabbed her by the collar.

"Benefactor, our inner cores have also been cultivated."

After shooting a glare at her sister, Bai She looked at Lin Xuan and said with a serious expression.
