Xiuxian, I can travel to another world

Chapter 298 Departure
Shake.

Another six months or so have passed.

End of Yin hour.

The morning light had not yet appeared.

Gu Rusong had already appeared in front of Zhu Ju's cave.

His eyes were slightly closed, his body was straight, and his breath blended with the surroundings, like a pine tree rooted in the earth.

Even while waiting, he didn't want to waste any time, silently refining his innate true energy through mental cultivation techniques.

"Senior Brother Gu."

After an unknown amount of time, a familiar voice came from behind:

"You're here so early again?"

"Junior Brother Xi."

Gu Rusong opened his eyes upon hearing the sound, stopped breathing, and nodded to the person behind him:

"Unlike my junior brother, I only get to receive guidance from Master Zhu for one day each month."

"Such an opportunity is so rare, of course we should cherish it."

Since he agreed to enter the secret realm as a member of Zhu Ju, one of his rewards was guidance on the first day of each month.

Dao Foundation cultivators possess profound realms, and a casual remark can greatly inspire him. In particular, Zhu Juben is different from ordinary Dao Foundation cultivators, being proficient in various martial arts and techniques, and even mastering various inheritances that are completely different from this world.

With just a little guidance, Gu Rusong's skills improved dramatically.

Therefore, he cherished the opportunity more and more, and would come to the cave entrance to guard it before dawn every time.

"me too."

Xi Chen scratched his head and sighed:

"Master is very busy. He spends most of his time in seclusion, and we can only see him two or three times a month."

"However, the saying 'a good teacher produces outstanding students' is absolutely true. Before I became an apprentice, I never imagined that there would be so many benefits to it."

"Spells, martial arts techniques, cultivation methods..."

He sighed softly:
"My master's casual guidance can enlighten me. Things that I didn't understand before are now clear. My cultivation naturally progresses by leaps and bounds. If I had known that becoming a disciple would have such benefits, why would I have cultivated alone for so long?"

"Not entirely." Gu Rusong shook his head.

“The foundation of the Dao is different from the foundation of the Dao, and the master is different from the master. Master Zhu’s understanding and mastery of the Earthly Fiend Profound Technique is probably the best in the sect. Even the sect master may not be able to compare with him.”

"His guidance is good, but that doesn't mean that other seniors' guidance is good."

Xi Chen had only been a disciple of the Mingxu Sect for a few years, but he had grown up in the sect since childhood and had seen many fellow disciples whose masters were Dao Foundation cultivators. Not all of those people had become successful.

Quite the opposite.

Those who truly succeed are those who possess exceptional talent and work hard; most of them ultimately achieve great things.

A great teacher produces great students; first and foremost, the teacher must be a great teacher.

And famous teachers,
It's actually not very common.

"Om..."

As the first rays of dawn appeared on the horizon, the cave's array activated on its own, and the heavy stone doors slowly slid open to the sides.

A figure then appeared in front of the two.

"Master!"

"Uncle!"

Xi Chen and Gu Rusong immediately composed themselves and bowed respectfully.

"Ah."

Zhu Ju's expression was serious:

"You will all be responsible for your own cultivation today. I'm going out for a bit. There's some 'Hundred Days' Intoxication' on the table that you can consume."

Before the two could answer, he transformed into a streak of light and soared into the sky, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

"what!"

Xi Chen looked astonished:
"Master just left like that?"

"It must be something urgent." Gu Rusong looked in the direction Zhu Ju had left, his voice tinged with resentment.

"pity……"

"A chance that only comes once a month!"

…………

Historian.

Shi Chuan lay on the bed, barely breathing, a gruesome wound the size of a fist piercing through his body.

If he hadn't successfully cultivated the Earthly Fiend True Body and maintained it with spiritual talismans, he would probably be dead by now.

even so.

He was already on the verge of death.

"Brother Zhu!"

Hearing the noise behind him, Zhai Qingfeng turned around and gently shook his head:

"No way..."

Last night, a demonic cultivator sneaked into the vicinity of the Mingxu Sect and was discovered by the sect disciples on patrol, resulting in a fierce battle.

When it was Zhai Qingfeng's turn to take charge, he was the first to arrive at the scene and annihilated a group of demonic and evil people.

However, the demonic disciples who dared to spy on the immortal sects were no weaklings.

Even though Zhai Qingfeng reacted quickly enough, by the time he arrived, many disciples were still dead or seriously injured.

Shi Chuan is one of them.

Zhu Ju stepped forward, his eyes flashing with divine light, and his heart sank.

The corpse energy of the Heavenly Corpse Sect has already seeped into Shi Chuan's bone marrow along the wound and merged with his internal organs. In this situation, even a god could not save him.

"Master... Uncle-Master..."

Shi Chuan lay on the bed, his face wrinkled and trembling, his cloudy eyes filled with a deep pleading.

"Thanks to him yesterday."

Zhai Qingfeng explained:

"Shi Chuan used a special technique of splitting his mind and transforming his thoughts to activate more than a dozen different spiritual talismans at once, killing several demonic cultivators and blunting their momentum. Otherwise, by the time I arrived, there would probably be no survivors."

"Ugh!"

Zhu Ju sighed softly and nodded to Shi Chuan:

"Go ahead without worry."

"I will keep my promise to you, and that technique can still be left to the descendants of the Shi family."

Hear the words.

Shi Chuan, whose face was deathly pale, suddenly had a blinding glint in his eyes, and his body trembled as he spoke:
"Thank you... thank you, Uncle-Master."

He held his breath, determined to get an answer from Zhu Ju.

Now that a promise has been made, the anger in my heart suddenly dissipated, my eyes dimmed, and my soul departed for the heavens.

"father!"

"grandfather!"

"..."

A loud cry erupted from the audience.

Zhai Qingfeng shook his head, walked out of the courtyard side by side with Zhu Ju, and asked:
"He was one of the two men chosen by Brother Zhu."

"Ah."

Zhu Ju nodded. "That's a real pity," Zhai Qingfeng sighed.

"Although he is old and frail, his skills are still excellent, and he is not afraid even when facing a Nine-Aperture Innate Realm expert."

"Pity……"

"The secret realm is about to open, and our people need to set off two to three months in advance. Brother Zhu, you will need to find someone else."

Should we find someone else?

In such a short time, who else can we turn to?
Even if we find someone, there won't be much time to train them, and how useful will they be once they enter the secret realm?

Zhu Ju sighed helplessly.

"Master."

Xi Chen sneaked into the study and whispered:
"I heard you're looking for someone?"

"Yes."

Zhu Ju looked up:

"Gu Rusong told you?"

"Hehe..." Xi Chen scratched the back of his head, chuckled twice, and asked:
"Are we really sending people to the secret realm?"

"Yes." Zhu Ju nodded. There was no need to hide anything from his only disciple at the moment.

"That secret realm only allows cultivators at the innate level to enter. If you have any good candidates, you can introduce them to me."

"Master." Xi Chen's eyes lit up:
"Can I?"

"You?" Zhu Ju frowned and shook his head.
"Don't be silly."

"Although that secret realm only allows innate Qi cultivators to enter, it is rich in spiritual energy and contains second-tier demonic beasts."

"You will also encounter people from other forces, which is extremely dangerous. Your current cultivation level is still too low."

Xi Chen had formally become his disciple less than two years ago.

Although he had already become a Qi cultivator who had opened the six innate orifices after receiving his guidance due to his profound knowledge, he was still somewhat lacking.

It requires at least the late stage of the innate stage of breaking through the seven orifices.

"Master!"

Xi Chen said:
"Although my cultivation level is not high, my strength is not weak. If we really fight, even Senior Brother Gu might not be my match."

"and……"

"I'm incredibly lucky!"

Zhu Ju raised an eyebrow.

Luck is a mysterious thing, but the higher one's level of cultivation, the more one understands it.

There were no cultivators in Xi Chen's ancestors.

Yet he was able to lead his younger sister on the path of spiritual cultivation.

By sheer chance, he stumbled upon the place where a late-stage Qi Refining cultivator had fallen, obtained miraculous elixirs to achieve innate status, opened his spiritual apertures, and even had a high-grade magic artifact protecting him before he even became an apprentice.

Moreover, Zhu Ju is not boasting, but in the Dao Foundation realm, there are probably few masters more outstanding than him.

Looking back on Xi Chen's life, he has almost never made a wrong turn; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call him a chosen one of heaven.

He was also proficient in martial arts and magic.

His archery skills, in particular, are exceptional; if he were to launch a long-range sneak attack, he could easily kill someone at the late stage of the Innate Realm.

"Xi Chen".

After a moment's thought, Zhu Ju slowly spoke:
"Are you sure you want to go?"

“You are my disciple. Although I will not be too concerned about you, with my protection, it will not be difficult for you to reach the late stage of the Innate Realm, and it is even possible for you to achieve the Nine Apertures Perfection or even the Dao Foundation.”

"There is absolutely no need to take the risk."

"Master." Xi Chen grinned.
"I can do it, but what about my sister?"

"I don't want my sister to become a handful of dust a hundred years from now. I want to take her with me on the path to immortality."

"The resources Master gave us are not enough for the two of us."

"..." Zhu Ju stared at Xi Chen for a long time before slowly nodding:
"I understand."

…………

"metropolitan!"

"metropolitan……"

With shouts, Pei Jingque, dressed in a magnificent palace robe, descended from the sky and landed in front of Zhu Ju.

"Junior brother?"

"Oh!"

Zhu Ju regained his senses.

"What are you thinking about?" Pei Jingque asked with a smile.

"It's rare to see my junior brother so distracted."

"Thinking back to the past," Zhu Ju began slowly.
"Back then, I was just an outer disciple. On my first long journey, I was traveling with my senior sister."

"At that time..."

"Senior Sister is the hope of our Dragon Head lineage. Her reputation is so great that everyone knows her."

"Is that so?" Pei Jingque asked with a smile.

"Of course." Zhu Ju nodded:
"The most beautiful woman in the dragon's head, whose beauty surpasses even the phoenix, that's what they're talking about, Senior Sister."

"At that time, Senior Sister Pei was stunningly beautiful in our eyes, and we didn't even dare to look at her more than once."

“…” Pei Jingque’s eyes were leisurely:

"The dragon head, the flying phoenix... all of that is in the past."

"Let's go!"

She reached out with her finger.

A jade leaf fluttered out from her sleeve, landed on the ground, and then grew in the wind to a length of three meters.

Like a small boat.

"Junior brother, does this object look familiar?"

"Of course I'm familiar with it." Zhu Ju nodded, his voice tinged with emotion.

"Back then, my senior sister used this magic weapon to lead the disciples of the Dragon Head lineage to the nearby market."

In a trance.

It was as if a scene from the past was playing out again.

However, things were different this time. The two of them were leading eight juniors to the Void Rift Secret Realm.

Zhai Qingfeng and Liu Huang'er did not travel together.

They had been married for just over a year and were still in the honeymoon phase, so they chose to stay at the sect to guard against any unforeseen circumstances.

"We'll meet up with our fellow Daoists from the Hundred Flowers Sect first, and then head to the secret realm."

Pei Jingque looked at the younger generation, his gaze lingering on Xi Chen for a moment, and said with some surprise:

“Nephew Xi is indeed courageous.”

Given Xi Chen's status, there's no need for him to participate in such an adventure.

"metropolitan."

Xi Chen grinned, touching the bow and arrows on his back that Zhu Ju had reforged, his youthful spirit soaring:
How many times in life can one truly fight for something?

"I simply don't want to miss this opportunity."
