Chapter 90: Wudang Zhou Sheng! The Might of Elixir Fire

~8 min read 1,485 words

Lin Xuan walked toward his residence with a relaxed expression, yet he spoke softly.

"Come out!"

As Lin Xuan spoke, he turned his head to look at the empty corner on his right.

"You discovered me."

A moment later, a figure emerged bit by bit.

"You thought you were hiding well? The Celestial Master discovered you too, he just didn't say anything."

"True, I believe I couldn't hide from him, but you, a junior, actually make me curious; this era has produced someone like you."

As he spoke, the suddenly appearing figure walked out.

A slovenly-looking old Daoist.

"If you're so worried about your successor, then show yourself and teach him; if things go on like this, he'll be ruined."

Lin Xuan naturally knew who the visitor was.

One of the Thirty-Six Thieves, the Wudang Zhou Sheng who comprehended the Strange Skill of the Wind Queen's Gate.

Following Wang Ye this early?

That makes sense; the key to the Wind Queen's Gate lies in the word 'change', and Zhou Sheng, who comprehended the Wind Queen's Gate, can transform into all things.

He might have even been on Wudang Mountain for these past few decades.

After all, the Wind Queen's Gate diagram was brought back to Wudang by him, causing most of Wudang's generation of experts to become trapped within it.

This originator is likely still here.

So after Wang Ye comprehended the Wind Queen's Gate, Zhou Sheng has likely been watching over his only successor of the Wind Queen.

"It's not time yet; his natural talent is sufficient, perhaps he will comprehend it himself when the time comes."

Zhou Sheng said, walking to Lin Xuan's side.

"What about you, are you interested in learning the Wind Queen's Gate?"

"Not interested!"

Lin Xuan shook his head directly.

"Oh? That's true, a Perfected Person who has cultivated the Inner Elixir, and still so young, any path you take will work."

Seeing Lin Xuan's such decisive refusal, Zhou Sheng did not feel surprised.

This was, after all, the only Inner Elixir Perfected Person at the time.

Cultivation, in the end, is about cultivating one's nature and life.

Once the Inner Elixir is cultivated, everything else becomes mere Strange Skills and trivial tricks.

"Speaking of which, how exactly did you discover me? I should have been hiding quite well."

Zhou Sheng did not walk out just to meet Lin Xuan and chat.

"When I said I was going to finish off Wang Ye, you wanted to save Wang Ye at that moment?"

Lin Xuan turned his head to look at Zhou Sheng.

"So it was at that moment; was I anxious in my heart, revealing a flaw?"

Zhou Sheng realized.

"Even if you hadn't revealed a flaw, you couldn't have hidden from me; after all, my cultivation is a bit higher than yours, this isn't difficult. Although the Wind Queen's Gate is miraculous, it is, after all, a unique skill."

"Indeed, a unique skill, a technique! Hehe!"

Zhou Sheng chuckled upon hearing this.

"I'm leaving. If you want to discipline your successor, go do it yourself. But it's not like I'm criticizing you, Wang Ye is a grown man, he has his own secrets.

You old Daoist don't need to keep staring at him sneakily."

Lin Xuan said, gave Zhou Sheng a look as if looking at a pervert, and turned to leave.

Zhou Sheng didn't understand at first, but when the meaning sank in, he was immediately furious.

I have already cultivated the Wind Queen's Gate, can I take this insult?

He stomped his foot, fixing the Central Palace.

Lin Xuan turned his head and exhaled a breath.

And along with this breath came a ball of orange-red Qi, looking very ethereal, like a cloud of mist, seemingly about to dissipate the next moment.

But Zhou Sheng suddenly pulled back and retreated violently.

In his eyes, what was rushing toward him was a sea of fire covering the sky.

The eerie flames burned everything to ashes.

What directions, what Central Palace, what Four Disks—everything, everything vanished.

Under this flame, it seemed as if everything had turned into Hun Dun.

Zhou Sheng retreated violently, and the wisp of Elixir Fire Lin Xuan had exhaled was retracted by him.

"Take care, Senior!"

Lin Xuan said, turning and walking away with a light gait.

Zhou Sheng stared at Lin Xuan's back.

"What was that thing?"

This was Zhou Sheng's only thought now.

What kind of thing could burn things like directions into a state of Hun Dun?

That was definitely not an illusion.

Zhou Sheng, who had completely mastered the Wind Queen's Gate, knew very well.

At that moment, things had truly turned into Hun Dun.

In other words, the Wind Queen's Strange Gate simply cannot be deployed.

"Monster! A monster just like Zhang Zhiwei!"

Zhou Sheng muttered.

"I can't just pretend I didn't hear that; I was wondering who it was, so it was you?"

A voice rang out abruptly behind Zhou Sheng.

Zhou Sheng's body stiffened, and he turned around abruptly to look at Lao Tianshi, who was standing right behind him.

"However, you got one thing wrong; I can't compare to Lin Xuan."

Lao Tianshi also glanced in the direction Lin Xuan had left.

He actually didn't know Zhou Sheng was here; it was just that Lin Xuan deploying the elixir fire had startled him.

It was only after arriving that he discovered Zhou Sheng.

And he immediately understood that Zhou Sheng was the person he had sensed earlier.

"I still have things to do, I'll be going now!"

Zhou Sheng took a step back, and his figure vanished instantly.

Zhang Zhiwei glanced at the spot, shook his head slightly, and turned to leave with his hands behind his back.

……

Before even entering the room, he sensed two familiar auras of Qi inside.

Lin Xuan pushed the door open and looked at Er She lying on the bed in his room.

"Do you two not have your own rooms?"

"Benefactor, stay with us!"

Xiao Qing patted the space behind her and put down the phone whose screen was still lit.

This time, they weren't watching anything inappropriate, but were playing games instead; both sisters were.

"Get up, go back to your own room!"

Lin Xuan shook his head slightly.

The two snakes were becoming increasingly outrageous.

Or rather, they were becoming more and more like humans.

As his voice fell, the two snakes finally lifted the quilt, got off the bed, and walked toward the door holding hands.

"Benefactor, you really won't keep us?"

As they went out the door, Xiao Qing turned her head to look at Lin Xuan and asked again.

"Get lost!"

"Alrighty!"

Xiao Qing stuck out her tongue.

"Benefactor, get some rest early!"

Xiao Bai bowed her head to Lin Xuan in a salute, then was pulled away by Xiao Qing.

He flicked his sleeves, and the room door closed.

Lin Xuan felt somewhat helpless; after getting on the bed, he sat cross-legged and took a book out of the Jiezi Space in his sleeve.

Dragon-Tiger Golden Elixir.

The reward for treating Tian Jinzhong.

When Lao Tianshi mentioned it earlier, Lin Xuan was indeed quite curious.

And as his cultivation progressed, many of Lin Xuan's previous notions had vanished.

In fact, when he had first achieved the Inner Elixir, although Lin Xuan still treated others warmly, he was extremely proud in his heart.

He even looked down on other cultivation methods.

He felt that walking the path of Inner Elixir cultivation was the true Dao.

Of course, thinking this way wasn't actually wrong.

For Lin Xuan, Inner Elixir cultivation was his Dao.

But this did not mean that other cultivation methods were inferior.

This was especially true regarding his view on the Outer Elixir.

Of course, Lin Xuan still felt that the idea of ascending to the heavens in broad daylight by swallowing a single golden elixir was a bit absurd.

But it could be mentioned in the same breath as the path of the Inner Elixir, and many predecessors and patriarchs had also practiced the method of the Outer Elixir.

Therefore, one must remain humble in cultivation.

"Sigh, I am still just an elementary student in the cultivation world after all."

Opening the book in his hand, Lin Xuan sighed lightly.

The path of cultivation still had a long way to go.

He gathered his focus and immersed himself in the book on the Dragon-Tiger Golden Elixir.

A night passed, and Lin Xuan, who had not slept, felt no fatigue; with his cultivation level, let alone one night, even a year or several years would not be a problem.

"It truly has its merits."

Lin Xuan's eyes brightened.

"Benefactor, it's time to get up."

The door was pushed open, and Xiao Qing and Xiao Bai poked their heads in; seeing Lin Xuan sitting cross-legged, the two snakes' eyes were full of disappointment.
