The Immortal Seeker: Legend of Bronze Mirror-Chapter 455 - 198: The Number One Demon in the World (3rd Update, Please Subscribe)

Xu Qing passed Elephant Trunk Cliff and arrived at the thatched cottage where the Old Heavenly Master was cultivating. He didn’t deliberately conceal the aura of his Divine Soul.

The Old Heavenly Master immediately sensed his presence, came out to greet him, and was secretly astonished.

He had thought it would take Xu Qing another year or two to achieve Possession of the Divine Soul, but to his surprise, it was already accomplished. However, considering that the other party had looted Yansheng Gong Mansion and had a serendipitous adventure, it wasn’t all that surprising.

"Divine Soul Cultivation requires unremitting vigor and progression, but it’s not always a good thing," thought the Old Heavenly Master sourly.

He then revealed a warm smile to Xu Qing, "Gongming, what brings you to Dragon Tiger Mountain again?"

Xu Qing hurriedly clenched his fists in a greeting, "I caused trouble at the foot of the mountain and thought that the only person who could help me in this vast world is you, Elder. I came specially to seek your protection."

The Old Heavenly Master was shocked and frightened. Could it be that Xu Gongming has rebelled?

Ah, what?

Isn’t it too early?

Seeing the expression on his face, Xu Qing realized that the Elder had misunderstood and quickly explained the situation and his speculations.

After the Old Heavenly Master heard the whole story, he felt a darkness before his eyes and thought: It would be less trouble if you had actually rebelled than bringing the Black Mountain Demon here!

Xu Qing flattered, "The Daoist Skills of Dragon Tiger Mountain are the world’s number one method for subduing demons. After much thought, I could only turn to Elder for help."

The Old Heavenly Master suppressed the urge to kick the annoying lad down the mountain and inquired, "Using the Three Yin Demon Slaying Saber does indeed bind you to a cause and effect with the Black Mountain Demon. But after killing that Liang fellow, how are you so certain that the Black Mountain Demon will seek vengeance on you?"

Xu Qing: "I have been wholeheartedly dedicated to my studies and have achieved the Way of Utmost Sincerity, which gives me some premonitions of future fortunes and calamities."

After all, whether or not others believe it, he himself does.

This can also explain some of the unreasonable aspects of him.

Besides, he has realized the Way of Utmost Sincerity, his literary work can be compared to that of Saints, and those who wish to harm him must also fear the aura that surrounds him.

Since ancient times, those who have opposed Saints never ended well!

The Old Heavenly Master "Oh"ed, "This sounds somewhat similar to our Taoist family’s occasional whim. Gongming, you truly are a natural-born scholar."

Since Xu Jieyuan took the initiative to come to Dragon Tiger Mountain seeking protection, it was only natural for the Old Heavenly Master not to push him away.

The friendship between Cultivators is forged in this way.

I ferry you today; you ferry me tomorrow.

This is the way of destiny.

Of course, this was also because the Old Heavenly Master valued Xu Qing’s potential and influence. If it had been anyone else, he would have simply struck with a Palmar Thunder.

The purpose behind Xu Qing’s request for help from the Old Heavenly Master also lay there.

He certainly knew how formidable the Chaotian Temple Master was, but the waters of the Capital were too deep. If he went there, even as a dragon, he would have to coil up; as a tiger, he would have to lay low, and it was uncertain what kind of schemes he might fall prey to.

If he returned to Yingtian Prefecture, Elder Fang might probably deal with the Black Mountain Demon, but his protection was related to the grand schemes of the Court. This matter was purely for personal gain, and even if Elder Fang helped, his impression of Xu Qing would greatly decrease.

In these types of trump cards, impressions and favors were very important; use a little and you have that much less.

The Old Heavenly Master was different.

Xu Qing had helped the Old Taoist last time, now it was just reciprocity. Moreover, favors are accumulated through mutual aid.

He came to the Old Heavenly Master, and the Old Heavenly Master would naturally help him, and in turn, he would certainly repay him in the future, tying Dragon Tiger Mountain to Xu Qing’s warship.

This was an opportunity for the Old Taoist to invest.

As the saying goes, ’An old fox understands the situation’; how could he fail to understand this?

After all, in this vast world, there are plenty of people who want to join Mr. Xu’s ship. The Heavenly Master Mansion could refuse, but they’d better not regret it later.

Just like the current Southern Kong Sect of the Kong family, who has already made secretive overtures to Xu Qing, pulling strings behind the scenes.

The Old Heavenly Master, understanding the situation, said, "Gongming, since you have cultivated the Three Yin Demon Slaying Saber, there is some certainty in dealing with the Black Mountain Demon’s Three Corpses Primordial Spirit."

Xu Qing asked, "I’ve heard that the Old Demon is the number one demon in the world, with extensive Divine Skills and boundless mana. If we join forces against him, can we really cope?"

The Old Heavenly Master smiled slightly, "Gongming, you may not know, but the Old Demon was seriously injured in the past, and the main body has not yet fully recovered. Even if it comes after you, it would just be one of the Three Corpses Primordial Spirits."

"Is this Three Corpses Primordial Spirit some kind of incarnation?"

The Old Heavenly Master nodded, "Although it is an incarnation, it should not be underestimated. Moreover, the Old Demon has many treasures in hand, and if it attacks, it indeed would be a major trouble. Fortunately, you have created the Three Yin Demon Slaying Saber, which is powerful enough to tide over this calamity."

Xu Qing: "Despite glimpsing the Possession Realm, my Cultivation is far less profound than Elder’s. The power of the Three Yin Demon Slaying Saber is indeed not as formidable as you think."

The Old Heavenly Master laughed heartily, "Gongming, do you really think I want you to use the Three Yin Demon Slaying Saber to fight the Old Demon head-on? That would be too dangerous. The fact that you have created this Divine Skill means you surely have Turtle Snake Essence in your body, enough to invite an absolutely top-notch figure to assist us."

"Could it be the Chaotian Temple Master?" Xu Qing was puzzled by his meaning for a moment.

The Old Heavenly Master scoffed, "The Old Turtle has been most afraid of the Black Mountain Demon in his life and would not dare to leave the Capital. The person I’m talking about is Abbot Xiong Chan from Great Zen Temple, who is just half a step away from becoming a Martial Saint. Now he is preparing the Xuantian Ascending Dragon Pill, but lacks the most important catalyst, the Turtle Snake Essence, and thus has not dared to start the process. With the Three Yin Demon Slaying Saber you have refined, I will write to him and he will surely come to lend a hand willingly. With you, me, and Xiong Chan, even if we face the main body of the Old Demon, we could put up a fight, let alone his Three Corpses Primordial Spirit."

Upon hearing about the Xuantian Ascending Dragon Pill, Xu Qing couldn’t help but be moved, and he asked, "How many pills can one batch of Xuantian Ascending Dragon pills produce?"

Old Heavenly Master: "At least one, and at most three, there’s no certainty. Unless you have a Saint’s Handwritten Manuscript, then there’s a great chance to produce three perfect pills, with at least two guaranteed."

Xu Qing thought to himself, the Old Taoist knew that he had looted the Kong Mansion, he probably guessed that he had a Saint’s Handwritten Manuscript.
