Eternal Life Starts as a Hunter-Chapter 293 - 125: Five Sources and Nine Ancestors True Self, Four Lotus Family Innate Blood
Yan Mu said, "What about... my aunt?"
Li Yuan raised a foot, intending to kick out, but Yan Mu burst into laughter and turned to run.
With this laughter, Li Yuan instantly understood that even this man with thick eyebrows and big eyes was joking with him.
He pointed at Yan Mu and said, "You rascal..."
Yan Mu shouted, "Senior, the most unpretentious senior!"
...
...
The next day.
Li Yuan, with Xiaozhao, prepared to send her to the Black Market Ghost Realm to hide.
But worried she would be bored, he sought out Tang Nian, hoping this adopted daughter could accompany Xiaozhao somewhere.
He didn’t insist, just suggested it, but Tang Nian immediately agreed.
This agreement also made Tang Nian the third person, besides the landlady and Xiaozhao, to know about the existence of the Black Market Ghost Realm.
To freshen up her skills and adjust her state, Tang Nian prepared a large box filled with "Ninth Grade, Eighth Grade, Seventh Grade" demon beast hearts she could buy with gold and silver, along with some puppet frames, and the Flame Blade used by Puppet Masters for carving. She decided to make some puppets in the Black Market.
Li Yuan also purchased a lot of food and sent it to the Black Market Ghost Realm. Seeing his two daughters getting along somewhat peacefully, he then left.
...
...
A few days later...
Gu Xuejian arrived.
She was a maiden with eyes bright as the sun and a temperament wild as a stallion, completely unrelated to being fragile.
Or perhaps... a female knight.
At least she was dressed like a female knight, with a gallant and beautiful youthful appearance, but Li Yuan did not know her actual age.
However, Li Yuan noticed the floating numbers "2548~6536" beside this "female knight".
For a moment, Li Yuan didn’t know whether she was Fifth Grade or Fourth Grade.
"Senior, this is my uncle-in-law."
"Uncle-in-law, this is the senior I mentioned to you."
Yan Mu introduced them.
Gu Xuejian didn’t waste words, rose then looked down at the ground, glanced around, spun and landed again, saying, "The scenery here is nice, I’ll stay here."
Li Yuan saw her calmly displaying characteristics of the Fifth Grade and appropriately showed a look of shock, then said, "You... are Fifth Grade?"
Gu Xuejian nodded lightly and said, "Li Yuan, I hope you will keep this secret for me."
Li Yuan quickly nodded, saying, "Of course, of course, senior is a friend of my eldest nephew, and naturally also my friend."
Then he added, "I wonder what senior wants me to do?"
Gu Xuejian said, "Stop calling me senior, that’s just Yan Mu’s jest.
You..."
Her bright eyes moved slightly and she said, "Just call me Gu Yu."
Li Yuan was speechless.
In Beijiang Prefecture, he called himself Mu Er, splitting "Li" and "Yuan" in half; this Gu Xuejian calls herself Gu Yu, also splitting "Gu" and "Xue" apart.
Truly kindred spirits...
Li Yuan said, "Senior Gu."
Gu Xuejian didn’t dwell on titles, but instead said, "I need to borrow your strength to help me check the whereabouts of the Red Lotus thieves around here. Don’t worry about the small ones, just let me know where there’s a big commotion.
Also, if anyone asks outside, just say I’m a sect’s Honored Guest Elder recruited by you to help you with tasks.
Since you’re Yan Mu’s uncle-in-law, I shall tentatively trust you.
Hope you don’t disappoint me.
There will be substantial rewards afterward."
Li Yuan nodded and said, "Yes."
Gu Xuejian suddenly said, "Li Yuan, show me your Sixth Grade technique."
Li Yuan understood well that this Vice Hall Master was very cautious.
Words can be spoken, matters can be fabricated, but the cultivation skill cannot be hidden, as its original traces cannot be erased.
If there’s any trace of the Red Lotus Sect in the skill, it can’t be concealed.
Thus, he took out the Dragon Blade Spear, planning to simulate the mood of an Overlord Blade to perform a ’City Destruction’.
The Overlord Blade is a hero’s blade, gained from visualizing the [Thousand-Mile Knight Painting].
As Li Yuan visualized this painting, he felt a mighty heroic spirit arise in his heart, along with a dominant aura, and with the hot blood making the body emit faint white vapor in cold air.
The blade vibrated, singing sharply, as if a demon fiend within the blade was screaming desperately.
The formerly peaceful courtyard suddenly became alive.
Boom!
A slash cut through, the air echoed with piercing sounds.
Gu Xuejian took a glance, frowned slightly, then suddenly realized and gently applauded, "Good skill, good talent."
She secretly sighed and swallowed down the phrase "It’s a pity".
The Sixth Grade skill and technique mismatched.
Yet this technique is an exceedingly rare Peak technique, understood only by a rare genius.
As this skill was executed, she sensed its vibrant righteousness.
As the blade came out, she realized this blade did not match the skill.
But many independent practitioners are like this.
They managed to reach Sixth Grade, which is already a huge fortune.
Yet Sixth Grade is the end...
Because they don’t have follow-up Dharma Gates, nor can they cultivate anew. This life is stuck at this stage.
It’s just a pity for this talent.
If one could perceive a Peak technique from the start, their future would be limitless.
Li Yuan bowed respectfully and said "Senior Gu has overpraised", then sighed and said, "Not sure what to do next."
Gu Xuejian said softly, "Yet this world isn’t only about cultivation skills. The great land, harmonious family is sometimes also admirable to me.
It’s just that choosing the path of martial arts, I can only continue forward.
While Mr. Li can see different sceneries."
Li Yuan saw her demeanor gentle, even changing the title, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Indeed, a Vice Hall Master trusting the eldest nephew and dressing as a female knight prefers the righteousness in [Thousand-Mile Knight Painting] more.
