Mysteries of Immortal Puppet Master-Chapter 487 - 100: The Transmission of Scriptures in Hanzhou

Chapter 487: Chapter 100: The Transmission of Scriptures in Hanzhou

Majestic Yugang Mountain stood towering, its crags steep and rugged, dripping in lush greenery.

The soil of the mountain, rich in Jade Dark Steel, took on the color of green jade. From afar, it looked like a giant clad in jade robes, magnificent and splendid.

Streams meandered through the mountain, sounding like a gently plucked ancient zither, clinking melodiously.

The rocks were hard and crystal clear, flashing brilliantly.

The mountain’s surface was covered with open-pit mines, veins crisscrossing, incredibly rich. The mine shafts were deep and intricate, extending like a giant network into the belly of the mountain, with mining lamps twinkling like stars. The miners, like ants, dug tirelessly, undeterred by the hardships.

Halfway up the mountain was Yugang Mountain Town, with towering city walls and numerous watchtowers. Since Meng Zizhong’s defeat at Mist Hidden Mountain, the layout here had undergone a radical transformation.

Now, many cultivators patrolled day and night, taking turns on guard, with much stricter defenses than before.

At this time, Daoist Fellow Hanzhou was inside a small courtyard within the mountain town, gazing at the thick smoke rolling in the mid-air, a result of the smelting furnaces in the town operating ceaselessly day and night.

The furnace fires blazed fiercely, never ceasing.

“Daoist Fellow Hanzhou, everyone has arrived,” an elder pushed open the courtyard door and entered.

Hanzhou nodded, “Please, everyone, come in.”

Thus, a large group of Ning Clan’s branch family members surged into the courtyard.

Hanzhou surveyed the group and saw about twenty to thirty Ning Clan members, all at the Qi Refinement Realm. Some were young, some old, but regardless of age, their eyes all contained a gleam.

Having experienced hardships and seen many levels of cultivators, Hanzhou really appreciated the light in their eyes.

Because he knew that this light represented hope for the future, a longing for happiness.

He sat down directly on the grass.

The Ning Clan members looked at each other, but soon they all followed Hanzhou’s lead and sat down one by one.

Hanzhou announced, “Next, I will teach you the Bitter Cold Scripture.”

He was quite direct, getting straight to the point.

The group of Ning Clan members immediately pricked up their ears, listening intently.

After Hanzhou finished teaching, everyone was silent, some with their eyes tightly closed, straining their minds, fully contemplating.

Ning Youfu, who had witnessed the whole process, couldn’t help but smile.

Hanzhou had taught the cultivation techniques directly, both the Qi Refining Chapter and the Foundation Establishment Chapter, very straightforwardly.

Having listened in, Ning Youfu, although he had no intention of switching his own cultivation practice, recognized that the Bitter Cold Scripture was extremely exquisite, not inferior to the Ice Heart Technique of the main branch of the Ning Family.

In the main family, those who wished to cultivate the Ice Heart Technique might have to devote most of their lives to accumulating merit for the clan.

But here in the branch family, they easily received such high regard.

“Clan Leader Ning Zhuo really has his ways.”

“This time, they even sent such a powerful figure exclusively to teach scriptures to our Ning Clan members.”

“Moreover, this time Elder Ning Jiufan has also come to Yugang Mountain and is warmly hosted by the town mayor daily. With him endorsing us, our branch family’s reputation in Yugang Mountain will surge tremendously, making many things much simpler.”

Ning Youfu felt exhilarated.

Ning Zhuo’s actions this time were beyond his expectations.

In fact, ever since Ning Zhuo became the leader of the branch family, he had occasionally brought shocking changes to the whole branch.

Originally, Ning Youfu was quite worried when he knew Ning Zhuo left Fire Persimmon Immortal City to travel the world. Now it seemed that geniuses could not be judged by ordinary standards.

“It’s my aging eyes that underestimated our clan leader,” Ning Youfu looked at the azure sky, dreaming of the future.

“With such an extraordinarily talented and tactfully skilled young clan leader, what worries are there for the clan not to prosper?”

“Unexpectedly, this old bone of mine, in my later years, am able to follow such a person, to have such a life.”

Ning Youfu felt satisfied, and Hanzhou was quite pleased as well.

“The words of persuasion from Young Master Ning Zhuo were really good.”

“Sometimes, choosing is far more important than striving.”

“This time teaching scriptures, with ease, I taught twenty to thirty people.”

“According to the agreement, with the help of Young Master Ning Zhuo, I will teach even more in the future.”

Thinking of Ning Zhuo, Hanzhou suddenly felt admiration mixed with a hint of guilt.

“It won’t do.”

“Young Master Ning Zhuo has an extraordinary capacity, truly noble and upright, yet I can’t just think of myself.”

“In principle, the Bitter Cold Scripture is very suitable for cultivators in mining. But to be safe, I still need to experiment in the mines personally, to truly rest assured.”

Thinking this, Hanzhou made this request to Ning Youfu.

In the letter given to Ning Youfu by Ning Zhuo, it was stated that Hanzhou was a cultivator at the Foundation Establishment Stage, who came to teach cultivation techniques and to help maintain order.

Unexpectedly, Hanzhou was so proactive, wanting to verify the Bitter Cold Scripture’s effectiveness in mining.

Ning Youfu immediately expressed gratitude, persuading Hanzhou that after teaching the cultivation techniques all day, he must be tired and could rest, delaying the visit to the mines till the next day. After all, Hanzhou would be staying here for quite a while, so there was no rush.

Hanzhou decisively shook his head, “Elder Ning, I come from humble origins, having been a beggar before entering the path of cultivation.”

“Noble Young Master Ning Zhuo treats me as a close friend and has never shunned my background, lending me the Understanding Law Map to study Frost Spells after only a few initial meetings.”

“Please don’t be overly courteous with me, teaching cultivation techniques is hardly tiring. If it’s convenient for you, Elder Ning, let’s go now!”

Hanzhou’s straightforwardness delighted Ning Youfu, who couldn’t close his mouth from smiling.

This temperament of Hanzhou really appealed to Ning Youfu.

Ning Youfu said, “In front of Daoist Fellow Hanzhou, who am I to be called Elder Ning? Just calling me a fellow daoist is enough. Since the fellow daoist is willing, let’s head to the mines now.”

The mines were not far from the mountain town, more precisely, a large number of mines were encapsulated within the mountain town itself.
