Ch. 109 - The Immortal Caressed My Head, And I Was Given Eternal Life

Ji Yuenian was silent for a moment, and the figure of the person in front of him gradually overlapped with a fragment in his memory. He said softly, “Taiyu Dao Sect, Bai Yulou?”

When he had just left the Qingluan Mountains, it was raining heavily, and there were many celestial phenomena and ghosts haunting him.

It was at that time that Ji Yuenian met Bai Yulou who was out to capture ghosts, and he even received a robe from him as a gift.

At the time, Bai Yulou claimed to be from the Taiyu Dao Sect. Although there were only a few people in this sect, if one looked closely, it could barely be regarded as a very distant branch of the Taiyu Holy Sect.

"I never expected to meet you here after our parting, brother Ji."

Bai Yulou led Ji Yuenian to sit beside him, and said with a low smile.

The Taiyu Dao Sect was not far from Shouyan Mountain, and the Bai Yulou had broken into the True Dao Realm not long ago, so he was naturally within the scope of invitation.

“Brother Ji has already joined the Taiyu Holy Sect, and has the qualifications to represent the Luoxia Mountains. I’m afraid you have had some fateful encounters.” As the eyes of the surroundings gradually moved away, the atmosphere in the banquet returned to normal. Bai Yulou casually set up a sound-proof shield and spoke softly.

Ji Yuenian was sitting on the same table with Bai Yulou, and a distance of nearly ten feet separated the two of them. He took a sip of the “life-prolonging wine” just delivered on the desk, and nodded. “I did have some encounters.”

Bai Yulou didn’t ask any further questions. He just pointed to the wine glass in Ji Yuenian’s hand, and said with a smile, “Only the first three glasses of this wine have the effect of increasing one’s lifespan, drinking too much would be pointless.”

While the two were talking, a man in True Dao Realm, came up from the table on the left with a cup, and smiled towards Bai Yulou. “Brother Bai, I heard that there has always been a conflict between the Taiyu Dao Sect and the Taiyu Holy Sect. But, it looks like you have acquaintances in Taiyu Holy Sect?”

“It’s a long story,” Bai Yulou stood up, turned to Ji Yuenian and said, “This is Ye Xi, the cave master of Yin Mountain, and I’ve known him for a long time.”

Ji Yuenian had a drink with him, and under Bai Yulou’s recommendation, they already got acquainted with each other a bit.

Since Ji Yuenian was not killed by a ghost that day, he attracted Bai Yulou’s attention. Seeing Ji Yuenian’s ragged clothes, Bai Yulou was moved and gave him a blue Daoist robe, which left a trace of good impression.

Now when they met again, Ji Yuenian was already a talented disciple in Luoxia Mountain Range. In terms of status, he was a disciple of a sect which surpassed his own.

“Brother Ji’s appearance is so conspicuous, and I can’t forget it after the farewell that day, so when I saw brother Ji just now, I was able to recognize you at a glance,” Bai Yulou raised his glass and laughed. “It’s just that the young master of Shouyan Mountain was just now talking to you, so I didn’t want to intervene.”

Ye Xi, the owner of Yin Mountain, had a strange gaze while looking at Bai Yulou. He appeared quite different from the past, but Ye Xi remained silent.

In his impression, Bai Yulou had a fierce and ruthless personality, and was even more scheming. Few people made friends with him, even Ye Xi himself talked with him since Yin Mountain was adjacent to the Taiyu Dao Sect. He had known Bai Yulou since childhood.

But, Bai Yulou’s attitude towards Ji Yuenian almost made Ye Xi’s jaw drop in shock.

...

Years ago.

“Do you know your real origin?”

The old man stood outside the door of the dilapidated main hall, quietly looking at the Bai Yulou kneeling on the ground in front of him.

“To confess, Master. I don’t know.”

“Now that you have really ignited your Heart Fire, I’ll return the things that belong to you.” The old man sighed, took out a brocade handkerchief from his sleeve and handed it to Bai Yulou, then turned and walked in the hall.

When Bai Yulou took the brocade handkerchief, and even his hands trembled a little.

He was adopted by the elder man since he was a child, and he had no parents. Several senior brothers and sisters in the Taiyu Dao Sect were like his parents.

However, Bai Yulou never complained, and just cultivated silently. He only slept for less than an hour a day, and was almost immersed in boring cultivation for the rest of the time.

Slowly opening the square brocade handkerchief, Bai Yulou saw a palm-sized jade with a miraculous green light circulating on it.

“Seeing jade is like seeing people. This is condensed by inheritance and memory, and left to my son Bai Yulou.”

The soft and flat female voice filtered to his ears, like he had heard it countless times in his dreams.

Bai Yulou’s soul trembled, and tears could not stop streaming from his eyes. He turned speechless.

Trembling holding the gradually warm jade in his hand, Bai Yulou pressed it tightly against his chest.

“All things have spirits, and anyone who has the opportunity can transform. I was a humble discipline in Yuan Jingxuan Mountain, but I was lucky enough to be pitied by the gods and given birth to a son who was named Bai Yulou.”

“However, there have been shocking changes since then. Yuan Jingxuan Mountain collapsed once, and the immortals fled. I don’t want to leave, and I will eventually die in this land.”

“A little inheritance of Xuan Mountain is condensed in the jade. I hope my son will succeed in cultivation, survive the three major tribulations, and attain Taiyi, so that he will not suffer from such sad fate.”

“Mandala Flower Demon, Zhiyan.”

The soft female voice was still ringing in his ears, and Bai Yulou knelt down on the ground with tears streaming down her face.

The sound of destruction faintly remained in the jade, which should be the terrifying scene when Xuan Mountain collapsed.

But, the woman’s voice was still as calm and gentle as usual, as if she was talking about an extremely ordinary thing. She stood alone amidst the crumbling mountains, and there seemed to be no fear in her heart.

The jade slowly melted into green liquid, which penetrated into the brows of Bai Yulou, and settled down in the depths of his soul.

“This is for you.” The old man came out from the hall, and put a wooden box in front of Bai Yulou. “This is what was put together with the jade.”

Bai Yulou picked up the wooden box, slowly opened it, and the shrill and vicious howling of ghosts echoed wildly.

“This is the ghost palm talisman bestowed upon me by an immortal. It can control the ghosts in various celestial phenomena such as thunder, rain, wind, snow, etc. It was originally just a leisure plaything for me, and I will leave it to you today. Maybe it can help you in cultivation.” The soft female voice reached to the depths of his mind, stunning him again.

The old man looked down at Bai Yulou and sighed. “This thing is extremely strange. Although I don’t know what it is, I can vaguely perceive the strong power contained in it, as for whether to refine this thing, the decision is up to you. ”

“Since she wants me to succeed in cultivation and avoid the suffering of reincarnation, I will do what she wants at any cost.” Bai Yulou’s eyes showed a trace of hostility, and he directly put his hand into the wooden box.

Countless translucent ghostly figures hovered upwards, biting Bai Yulou’s flesh and blood, and after a while, only bones remained of his left hand.
