Donghuang Ziji

Chapter 360 Past Fate

And when Chu Tai decided on this name, a hint of spiritual light gradually emerged from the figure that exuded vitality and was filled with boundless sunshine and aura.

Chu Tai was stunned for a moment, then his mind moved, and he silently recited "Shao Siming" in his heart as he did before.

"Autumn orchids and mugwort grow under the hall. Green leaves and white flowers, their fragrance touches me..."

A faint spiritual light emerged under the Donghuang Bell, the shadows of orchids and angelicas emerged, layers of green light surged, and wisps of vitality spread. Chu Tai felt a power of the same level as the mist in "Lord Yun", but the mist obscures, hides, shrouds and covers, while this vitality is revival, rebirth, hope and healing.

Chu Tai looked up at Shao Siming. A green light emerged from between her brows and turned into faint lines. In a trance, Chu Tai saw boundless vitality and the trajectories of countless lives.

But soon, all these illusions disappeared, and in return, Shi Huajin and others looked at them with concern.

Shao Siming's changes naturally could not be hidden from this group of cultivators. Even at the moment when the pattern appeared, they felt the subtle changes inside the cave. The cave's vitality, which had slightly fluctuated due to the picking of the Tianfu Jade Lotus, also returned to normal.

Everyone who understood this realized the extraordinary nature of Chu Tai's incarnation, and they all tacitly did not ask any further questions, as if everything was normal.

Chu Tai didn't dwell on this aspect too much, but continued to pay attention to Fei Fei and the others' actions.

After parting with Guo Shan, Mao'er continued to move forward with Feifei and Wu Chaoxi. The group soon arrived at a gorge that Chu Tai passed through on his way to the Central Plains in the past. There was a river in the middle, and many boatmen were pulling boats on both sides.

Maoer brought Feifei and Wu Chaoxi to a road trampled by trackers. He looked at the trackers on both sides and finally pointed at one of the young men.

Wu Chaoxi took a look and knew that this young man was loved by the mountains and rivers of this place, and it seemed that his method of cultivation was more sophisticated than that of ordinary boatmen.

"Also, there seems to be a little bit of dragon power in this guy's body."

The cat meowed twice, and Feifei and Wu Chaoxi realized that Chu Tai had passed by here in the past and helped the local boatmen to perfect their cultivation methods. Later, when Chu Tai was hunting down the wandering cultivator Ji Deyao, he also came here.

Ji Deyao's method, which was derived from the unconventional technique "The Secret Book of Jade Carp and Soaring Dragon", was introduced into this land vein by Chu Tai during the battle and became one of the foundations of this place.

And this young man got all the inheritance left by Chu Tai, so he has a certain fate with Chu Tai.

Wu Chaoxi calculated carefully and shook his head, saying, "Although this child has obtained the aura of the mountains and rivers of this place, his own physique can only be said to be above average. He has been ravaged by the labor here over the years, and at most only 70% of his physique remains. Even if he has recovered some of his strength after obtaining the aura of the dragon here, he can only be considered above average. Now that the Jinhua Sect is planning to reopen its mountain gate, a child like this may not be able to support the sect."

"What does Senior Wu mean?"

Feifei looked at Wu Chaoxi with some curiosity. After a long silence, she slowly said, "Although his foundation is average, this kid is destined to be with the Sect Master. We will leave some tips for him to learn how to practice. If he can succeed in his practice, we can guide him to the sect, or let him find the Jinhua Dojo on his own. This way, we can preserve the fate of both parties and prevent him from becoming the chief disciple of the Jinhua Sect."

"But we were the first to find him, weren't we?"

Feifei hesitated, thinking it was unfair. Wu Chaoxi retorted, "How is it unfair? Is it fair to make him the eldest disciple? Strictly speaking, the first person we found who had a connection with the Jinhua Sect was Lingjiu in the mountains..."

"Meow!" When the cat heard Wu Chaoxi's words, its fur stood up, the whole cat became fluffy, and it stared at the other party with erect pupils, forcing Wu Chaoxi to swallow the rest of the words back into his stomach.

But Wu Chaoxi's meaning was very clear. He did not think that this child was suitable to be the first disciple of Jinhua Sect.

Feifei thought for a while and said, "Whether it is suitable or not should not be decided by us. It is better to let Fellow Daoist Chu decide how to deal with it. By the way, I think we can give him a little more financial support when we teach him the method. Otherwise, given his current environment, he may not be able to guarantee his daily practice."

Wu Chaoxi naturally would not refute this, but after thinking about it, he suggested that the young man could be tested appropriately.

"The Jinhua Sect is the orthodox sect of the Xuan Sect after all. If this child is kind-hearted, that would be the best. If he is just being cunning and cunning for the sake of survival, that's fine. But if he has no good intentions and is only concerned about himself, I think we should just teach him a simple method and fulfill our fate. Don't get involved too much."

Feifei didn't answer after hearing that, and Maoer took the two of them to another place.

There lived an old man wearing linen clothes and smoking a dry tobacco. When he found Feifei and the others, he showed a horrified expression and hurried forward to greet them. At the same time, the old man also rubbed the tobacco secretly, and some crumbs fell to the ground.

Feifei and Wu Chaoxi saw all this but didn't care.

On the other side, in Jinhua Cave Heaven, Yu Lisou and others smiled at Chu Tai and said, "I didn't expect that the headmaster had a connection with this place in the past and even left some inheritance. It's quite interesting."

Bei Xuan, who was the most proficient in water magic among the crowd, calculated silently and frowned, "But what the Crow Immortal thought was right. This child's bones are too poor and his luck is very average. Although he has obtained the energy of mountains and rivers, it seems that part of it has been suppressed or even stolen. He will need some opportunities to achieve the sixth rank in the future..."

Dong Cang, who was standing at the four sides of the medicine garden, smiled and said, "I think this kid is quite interesting. He practices some low-level skills derived from the law of carp. He has some carp luck and some dragon spirit left by the master in the mountains and rivers. He may be able to try to be reborn in the future and make the leap from a fish to a dragon. If he succeeds, he will definitely be able to reach the fifth rank."

"But this kid is more likely to fail. Moreover, he seems to have some relationship with Bingge, and there are some causal conflicts..."

Xi Lai also calculated for a moment and said something that stunned everyone. Chu Tai immediately understood the reason after hearing it.

When he saw the Taoist in hemp clothes, he already knew who he was. It was the wandering cultivator he met on the boat in the past, the one who considered it his lifelong pride to inherit the destiny of the mountains and rivers and be accepted as a disciple by a wandering cultivator.

Unexpectedly, he finally chose to return to the boat trackers and protect their survival, while fighting against his former master. The child was protected by him, and his luck was separated and suppressed by the Taoist's spell in order to deceive his former master.

After knowing these reasons, everyone looked at each other and expressed that they could use the Taoist master in Ma Yi as a test for the young man's future. If he succeeded, they would lead him into the sect; if he failed, they would protect him and teach him some magic skills to complete the good relationship.

Upon hearing this, although Chu Tai wanted to express that the other party might not be willing to become his disciple, he thought about the possibility of such a thing, as well as the current communication environment, and did not say it immediately. He simply nodded and discussed with the other senior brothers and sisters about the possibility of the young man turning into a dragon, as well as the specific methods of cultivation.
