Chapter 207: Chapter 145: Fellow Daoist Passes Away
Translator: 549690339
As Qi Yun entered the temple, Lu Yuan’s eyes habitually swept over the surroundings. Everything was still as simple and broken as it had been in the past.
This fellow Daoist Qi Yun really was a diligent cultivator, able to endure loneliness and wholeheartedly cultivate in the mountains.
But after looking around, his expression soon moved slightly, and he saw a timid gaze peeking from the crack of a window in the nearby room.
Although the window was in the way and the full details of the gaze were unclear, the eyes that were revealed made it clear that it must belong to a child.
“What is this…?” Lu Yuan looked at Qi Yun with a slightly puzzled expression.
Qi Yun also noticed his Fellow Daoist’s gaze, smiled and waved to the window, saying, “Little Zhuo, come here.”
Seeing his master calling, the child hiding behind the window hesitated and walked out of the room.
When he reached Qi Yun’s side, he called out, “Master.”
Upon hearing this address, Lu Yuan looked surprised and then carefully scrutinized the child. He appeared to be around twelve or thirteen years old, with a pretty handsome face. He was likely to grow into a quite good-looking Daoist leader.
But looking at the other party’s appearance, he felt a sense of familiarity.
However, upon careful recollection, he hadn’t met this child before.
This puzzled Lu Yuan, he couldn’t figure out where the familiar feeling came from?
As he was thinking about this, Qi Yun had already pulled his disciple in front of
Lu Yuan and introduced him, “This is Daoist Lu, you can call him
Uncle-Master.”
“I pay my respects to Uncle-Master Lu.”
Although Little Zhuo was somewhat timid, he still followed his master’s instructions and bowed to Lu Yuan.
“Get up.” Lu Yuan showed a slight smile as his junior bowed.
Qi Yun, who had always been living a solitary life, was able to accept an excellent disciple, which made him quite happy for his fellow Daoist.
After thinking for a moment, he took out a jade bottle from his bosom and handed it to Little Zhuo, saying gently, “Since my relationship with fellow Daoist Qi Yun is very close, and you call me Uncle-Master, you are considered my junior.
I came in a hurry and did not bring any proper gifts.
Here is a bottle of Rejuvenation Pills. One pill can help increase one’s Inner
Strength cultivation by five days. I will give it to you as a gift.”
In recent months, Lu Yuan’s name-recording disciples who were responsible for collecting hundred-year-old Herbs bought back quite a few ingredients for Rejuvenation Pills.
After these ingredients were bought, they were refined over a dozen times, resulting in more than twenty bottles of elixir in Lu Yuan’s hands.
However, in the past six months, he had been busy converting his technique to learn the Chi Yanz Divine Skill, focusing mainlv on transforminz the nature of his Inner Strength, and had no time to practice.
As a result, those refined Rejuvenation Pills were left unused and untouched.
Fortunately, two months ago, his disciple Zhou Qing also completed the technique’s conversion and successfully transformed his Inner Strength into the Chi Yang Inner Strength.
So, Lu Yuan gave the majority of the Rejuvenation Pills he refined to Zhou Qing for his disciple to cultivate.
Zhou Qing’s finding of the Chi Yang Divine Skill had greatly helped him.
Lu Yuan had been thinking about properly rewarding and compensating this disciple.
Since he had set his sights on the Pure Water Xuan Niu, the Rejuvenation Pills didn’t hold much value for him anymore.
His own disciple was burdened with deep hatred and always wanted to quickly break through his cultivation, so he simply used the Rejuvenation Pills as a reward.
Hence, after teaching Zhou Qing the Alchemy method for refining Rejuvenation Pills, Lu Yuan let this Senior Brother take responsibility for refining the pills in the future.
The spiritual medicine purchased afterward was handed to Zhou Qing, who would use the Rejuvenation Pills he refined for his own cultivation.
That was why when Lu Yuan rewarded Gu Wei and other disciples before, he let them find their Senior Brother to receive the Rejuvenation Pills.
He didn’t have any Rejuvenation Pills on hand; the one he just gave away was the last bottle, which he had intended to keep for emergencies.
Now, well, since he acknowledged a nephew, he just casually handed it over.
“Hurry and thank Uncle-Master.”
Qi Yun was slightly surprised to see that Lu Yuan casually gave out elixirs that could increase one’s skill, then looked at his still dazed disciple and could not help but tap him on the head.
“Thank you, Uncle-Master.” Little Zhuo reacted and quickly accepted the elixir with delight, bowing to Lu Yuan.
Now, as he looked at this Uncle-Master, he felt less afraid and more affectionate.
Seeing this, Lu Yuan couldn’t help but laugh, “What a good little fellow who loves a bargain. No good deed goes unrewarded.”
Qi Yun knew his fellow Daoist was teasing him, but he still looked at his disciple and sternly said, “Your Uncle-Master and I are going to the guest room to discuss the Dao. You go and review today’s lessons, and I will test you later.”
“Yes.” Little Zhuo’s face turned slightly red, and he quickly ran away to the main hall to read his scriptures.
Watching the little fellow’s figure, Lu Yuan couldn’t help but smile, then walked naturally and familiarly to the guest room.
Inside the guest room, the layout was still as simple as ever.
He found his usual seat and began brewing tea on the centrally-located stove.
After starting the fire and while waiting for the tea to brew, he leisurely laughed, “Fellow Daoist Qi Yun, I originally thought that you would wait until you were old and couldn’t move before taking a disciple to inherit the Dao of Qingyun View.
I never thought that after just a few years apart, you would actually accept a disciple. This really has made Poor Daoist quite surprised.”
As a fellow Daoist, Lu Yuan knew very well how firm Qi Yun’s Heart Towards the Dao was.
With Qi Yun’s temperament, he absolutely wouldn’t waste time finding a disciple to distract himself from his goal until the pursuit of Immortality was
completely hopeless..
