Daoist Master Of Qing Xuan Chapter 468 - Planting the Peach

Chapter 468 - Planting the Peach

There was naturally nobody in front. By the time the female soldier turned back, the Daoist was gone like a wind.
The female soldiers felt dizzy all of a sudden and they fell into deep sleep.
The spring breeze swing technique behaved like a spring breeze that led you to your sleep. Even if one woke up, it was like a dream that left no trace.
Daoist Liu Mengde continued to walk towards the peak. He had stayed here for many years and hence he was familiar with everything. Once he crossed the natural stone bridge in front, he would be at his homebuilt residence in no time.
There was a board on the door, and on top of it, the words 'Xuan Du Temple' were written clearly.
Xuan Du, otherwise known as Xuan Du Purple Palace was Daoist's so-called supreme celestial environment, Tai Shang Daoist master's residence. One could imagine how wide a space his residence occupied. It was grand.
He entered the old garden, and Liu Mengde found the courtyard where the Yin gathering fountain was. A formation was set up at the courtyard. When he stepped in, the silent vital force of the universe turned into sharp swords and knives which headed towards him.
Liu Mengde was immediately forced out of the formation. When he looked closely, he realized the vital force of universe here, driven by the formation was extremely pure. It seemed like any malicious Qi could be purified by it.
Within the formation, it was filled with sword aura; outside the formation, the vital Qi was peaceful.
The core of the formation was the Yin gathering fountain. At its surrounding, the vital force of the universe was sure to be even more pure. It would be sufficient to suppress the evil peach.
The formation ultimately was static, and the swords and knives it possessed within would not kill anyone. The purpose was to merely stop someone from entering.
Liu Mengde spent about thirty minutes to get close to the Yin gathering fountain. There was no longer cold air coming out from the water. The surface was calm, and he could see the reflection of himself. He used the wooden bucket by the well to get a bucket of water, and it was found to be as heavy as a hundred of them worth. Liu Mengde almost did not manage to lift it.
One could see that the formation did not just make use of the Yin gathering fountains to be its core, the Yin gathering fountain too used the formation to improve on its essence.
With time, the unrefined parts of the well water would be removed. Till then, maybe a drip of water could help to cure a hundred diseases.
He dug a hole next to the well, and he then buried the peach. He watered it with the well water, and the malicious Qi was dispelled entirely with the Qi from the formation. It returned to its initial state of purity.
After Liu Mengde did all those, he thought about the fact that even when the person returned, he could not dig out the elder brother's peach, as it will be a spiritual peach once it grew.
His worries were finally dispelled. He felt his mind was clear, and that his Tai Qing technique had improved. The bottleneck he was facing was feeling loose.
Liu Mengde was happy inside, until he saw the rock by the well that were carved with the two lines: "The peach tree within Xuan Du Temple, was going to be planted after Shen left."
Liu Mengde was shocked, as if a lightning just struck him. The person was too powerful, as he was able to predict what was happening today without seeing or hearing about it. He thought he was smart, but in the end he was still following his prediction.
It was as if the person had an invisible string that was controlling him at the person's will.
Liu Mengde was covered in cold sweats.
Shen Lian naturally predicted it beforehand. He was not aware of Daoist Liu Mengde' story, but since he had the thought to come to Mount Jieyang, he then had connection with Shen Lian, unknown to him. The longer he was in the mountain, the easier for him to realize what was going to happen. It was not something to do with Mana, but an indescribable level of height.
That was why in mythologies, if anyone broke into the celestial's abode of immortals, he or she would be found out way ahead.
For a connoisseur of that level, if he was at a place long enough, he would have the ability to predict what was going to happen in the time and space he was at.
If his cultivation experience was higher, reaching the Daoist level of Taiyi Tian Xian or the Buddhist level of Mahasattva Bodhisattva, he could even score a few points by telling the fate of the world.
Because for him then, the abode of immortals was not limited to just a mountain and a lake, but the entire world.
By then, the boundless universe would be the place of enlightenment.
Black Tiger had spent quite some time with Shen Lian, and as it was great with observation, it could identify some of Shen Lian's little habits easily. As it took note of Shen Lian's odd behavior, it stopped its steps.
Shen Lian felt the query it had in its heart, and hence he told it about the Daoist. It seemed that the habit to tell a story was something common between humans and celestials.
Furthermore, Shen Lian did something he was rather proud of, and how so, was associated with what he did to the Daoist. It was similar to what he longed to do as a celestial in the past.
Being able to predict the future was not something that rid life of fun, but it provided him the fun of having a cheat in the game.
After listening to the story, the Black Tiger felt stunned. The reason why the little master asked it to carry out so much hard labor was just for his own satisfaction.
It did not feel it was lame but it actually admired it. Just by listening to it, it sent chills down its spine. To have such a power would be such a great feeling.
When it was absorbed in its imagination, it suddenly recalled, "Before this, didn't little master want to meet that person to understand something? Since he is here, why not meet him up?"
Shen Lian said, "To a cultivator, a year is like a day. When the peach tree he planted blooms, it is not too late. "
It was not because Shen Lian did not want to meet the Qi cultivators in this world, but it was because Chen Qing needed him to make a trip to meet her.
As the timing was not right, he could actually just reject Chen Qing's request, but he did not want to do it, because he wanted to follow the flow. Since it was a miss, he was not in a rush to find out about all the secrets.
Riding the black tiger and speeding through the roofs of the city, they reached the residence of the city master promptly.
With time, Chen Qing was left soft, but more intimidating as she now had authority.
Chen Qing was surprised to see Shen Lian coming in, as she did not expect that Shen Lian would come just because she requested it.
As her relationship with this son was not so intimate, she did not expect Shen Lian to be so filial to her.
Ultimately Shen Lian was still her own, as she saw Shen Lian's slightly toned up body, she was happy, "Little Lian, what else do you need in the mountain? I will ask someone to send them over."
She called out little Lian like it was natural. After she said it, she felt there was something wrong, but as Shen Lian did not have any change in expression, Chen Qing felt relieved. From her rough understanding of her son, it seemed that the son was not against this intimate name.
Shen Lian said, "Everyday there are people coming my way in the mountain. The items already take up a room. I don't need any of them. Mother, there is no need to bother the servants with this."
He looked at Chen Qing again and said, "Mother, it seems like you've been neglecting your cultivation."
Chen Qing said, "There are too many things to do, I am not free."
Shen Lian did not say anything else. Everyone had a different pursuit in life, and there was no need to push for something to happen. As long as she used the Yin Gathering Fountain often, she could have lived a long life with no sickness. It was already way better than most.
Chen Qing then said, "I have two things that I need to discuss with you, and it is not appropriate for me to ask someone to pass the message to you. You know it, there are too many things going on in the city, and it is hard for me to leave. Hence I asked you to come over."
