A leisurely life in the world of cultivation

Chapter 67 The True Destiny of Immortality! (Eighth Update!)
It's actually fine.

At this moment, Li Weizhou, whose mind was extremely calm, felt that although his bones had been broken and dislocated, a warm current was descending from the void at a faster speed than usual. Although it did not have the effect of setting bones, it did not seem to worsen the injury, and the pain was not as bad.

The white-faced, beardless old man stared at Li Weizhou and asked, "Where are Qian Jintang and the others?"

Li Weizhou truthfully replied, "I went to Dayuan Mountain... hiss!"

He hadn't finished his work yet, so it was still in a crooked and twisted shape, making it easier to torture him; another rib was broken.

Li Weizhou, enduring the pain, said, "I obtained many good things in Dayuan Mountain. If you don't believe me, go to the third cabinet from the left in the top cabinet of the next room, open the bedding, and there's a wooden box at the very back. It's something I got from Dayuan Mountain, and I feel like it's something used by immortals. Words are not enough; facts speak for themselves. Qian Jintang and Eunuch Liu aren't fools; why would they believe me for no reason? Seeing is believing... Ouch, it hurts so much! Go see for yourself, and you'll see."

The old eunuch stared at Li Weizhou with his triangular eyes for a while, then reached out and forcibly pulled him out of the mold, making him scream softly a few more times. Finally, he dragged him to the next bedroom.

He was a seasoned veteran, and actually let Li Weizhou open the cabinet himself.

Li Weizhou slowly opened the cabinet and took out an... iPad.

When he opened it, it played a compilation video of the Legend of Zu Mountain...

The story opens with Master Bai Mei flying on his sword, Master Gu Yue wielding his curved blade with divine skill, and the magical treasure Haotian Mirror shining like a divine artifact from the heavens...

Before Li Weizhou could even speak again, the old eunuch trembled all over!
What else could this be but a miracle?!

Immortal fate!

What a divine connection!

He actually got to witness the divine destiny ahead of time!

The old eunuch's hands trembled as he took the tablet, a testament to his overwhelming emotions.

He stared at it for a long time. Thankfully, it was set to automatically shut down, but the old eunuch still couldn't bear to let go, carefully stroking the tablet as if gently caressing his lover...

Li Weizhou gasped, "Old man, now, now you believe me, right? Honestly, I told you the truth, and you still didn't believe me. Ouch... my bones hurt so much, could you... set them for me first..."

The old eunuch slowly raised his eyes, the previous coldness and gloom had dissipated, replaced by a burning warmth, and asked Li Weizhou, "How did you obtain this?"

Li Weizhou, enduring the pain, truthfully said, "I have been looking for my parents for many years without success. One day, I overheard someone say that immortals had appeared in Dayuan Mountain. I have been looking for my parents for many years, but I have no other choice. I can't go on living. I am just trying my last chance. If I can't even find the immortals, then I will let the tigers and leopards in the mountains eat me. That would be the end of it."

But unexpectedly, after walking for three days and three nights, I didn't encounter a single wild animal. I was careless; I slipped and fell into a hole in the ground. Inside was a small tree, bare of leaves, but with a single red berry. I was so hungry, I ate it. Surprisingly, my injuries healed almost completely. Later, I obtained a manual of stance training from Qi Zhenkun, which I could practice without taking Qi-cultivating pills. In just a few months, I reached the middle three levels…”

You could clearly feel the old eunuch's breathing become rapid, and the jealousy and hatred in his eyes when he looked at Li Weizhou was so intense it was almost overflowing.

If he could obtain that Vermilion Fruit, he might be able to advance even further, and the path to immortality might become a reality...

Fortunately, there's still hope!

There might be even better medicines inside that fairy cave, there must be!

Even if there really is none left, he would still boil this incredibly lucky young man into a soup and drink it!
Li Weizhou seemed oblivious to the old eunuch's malice, and continued to ramble on, "It hurts so much, old man, can you set my bones first? Look, I've told everyone who asked me. You should have asked first, instead of just breaking my bones without even asking... I didn't hide anything!" His tone was full of grievance and anger.

"..."

The old eunuch stared at him and said, "Who else did you tell? Didn't you expect to get the immortal's treasure yourself?"

Li Weizhou shook his head and said, "As for the Heavenly Blade Sect Master and those five eunuchs... Although my mother passed away early, she taught me a principle from a young age: a person should know their own limitations. Anyone who is too greedy and wants things they shouldn't have will definitely come to a bad end."

When the five eunuchs came to see me the other day, I gave them a piece of spirit jade I found in a cave. The leader, Eunuch Liu, was so pleased that he sent me a royal plaque, saying that the Prince of Jin's mansion would protect me from now on, and even offered me a position in Jinzhou Prefecture, promising to get me an official post… Good heavens, I got nothing in return, and I almost got killed.”

After Li Weizhou, his arm stiff and painful, managed to produce the token from the Prince's Mansion, the old eunuch truly believed him and had no further doubts.

He reached out and felt around Li Weizhou's body for a while, setting the broken bones back together, and said, "He'll be fine after resting for a while. Is the red fruit helpful for injuries?"

Li Weizhou nodded and said, "Those red fruits are really effective. When others get injured from falls and bruises, it usually takes ten days to half a month to recover, but I only need three days at most, sometimes even less—just one day. It's a pity I was injured, otherwise I would have personally led you, old man, to find that Immortal Cave. It looks like a stone door inside, but it's so tightly closed that I couldn't even break it with a rock. I think most people would have a hard time opening it..."

Upon hearing this, the old eunuch became excited again and exclaimed, "You still remember the way?"

Li Weizhou chuckled dryly and said, "I don't remember, otherwise they wouldn't have let me go. But I do remember the general location... I'm not a hunter, and I'm really not familiar with the Dayuan Mountains, so I only have a general impression. Each of us drew a map. After all, my fourth son is from the Imperial Execution Department, so they didn't dare to go too far and didn't make a move in the city."

The old woman had been eavesdropping, and she no longer harbored even the slightest suspicion.

All the eloquence and silver tongues of the world could no longer shake his unyielding heart.

No martial arts master who has broken through to the eighth level is a lucky one.

However, facts speak louder than words!
No matter how much you think, guess, or doubt, nothing beats the truth of seeing it with your own eyes.

What I hold in my hand is a true celestial artifact!

He looked at Li Weizhou and said gently, "We'll carry you into Dayuan Mountain. All you have to do is point out which direction the Immortal Cave is in. If we find it, we'll personally take you as our disciple and teach you martial arts!"

Upon hearing this, Li Weizhou's eyes lit up, and he exclaimed excitedly, "Really?! Old man... Master, is a peerless master like you truly willing to accept me as your disciple?"

The old eunuch's smile softened, and he said, "You are clever and quick-witted, and you know how to conduct yourself properly. There's no reason for our family not to take such a promising talent as our heir." Li Weizhou's face flushed with excitement, and he tried to kowtow, but the movement aggravated his wound, and he cried out "Ouch!" before failing to kneel down.

The old eunuch was very magnanimous and didn't mind at all. He even comforted her, saying, "It's not something that can be resolved overnight... My good disciple, let's set off now."

He was genuinely worried that someone like Qian Jintang would steal his destiny to become an immortal!
As for this incredibly lucky kid, he did indeed find his destiny with the immortals, so taking him as a disciple is not a big deal. Perhaps he will have even greater fortune in the future.

He got to where he is today by sheer luck. He went from being looked down upon by others to a slow but steady rise that eventually led to his success.

He was the weakest of the eight martial saints in the world, and originally thought he would never have another chance to compete for opportunities. Who would have thought that luck would come again!

Li Weizhou did not refuse, but said, "Then I will trouble you, Master... By the way, I need to wrap myself in several layers of blankets. I can't freeze to death right after becoming your disciple, or I'll become the biggest laughing stock of all time."

The old eunuch chuckled and helped Li Weizhou wrap himself tightly in three quilts, leaving only his head and hands barely able to move.

Without further ado, the old eunuch, carrying Li Weizhou with one hand, disappeared from the Li residence in a few swift movements, leaving no trace of the sixth sister-in-law sweeping the courtyard or the gatekeeper in the front yard...

This was the first time Li Weizhou had truly witnessed the prowess of the martial artists from the Upper Three Passes. Their speed was so fast that he couldn't even open his mouth to speak; the moment he opened his mouth, a "whirlwind" rushed in...

At this speed, who would still ride a horse?
That doesn't make sense either; that old scoundrel Qian Jintang rode a horse.

That means this old eunuch is much more powerful than Qian Jintang?
Qian Jintang could barely be considered a Seventh Martial Grandmaster, so could this old eunuch be a Eighth Martial Saint?

I'm afraid this old man is the only one keeping order in the entire Prince Jin's mansion.
How should I kill him...?

……

Changzhou, villa.

After Li Weizhou opened his eyes, he immediately got up, turned on the light, and began to sort through the family's belongings.

There are still some guns and ammunition left, but given that old ghost's speed, there's basically no chance of hitting him.

Only one Claymore mine remains. It is quite powerful, but it is complicated to operate, making a safe ambush even more difficult.

Finally, there were the two boxes of M67 standard hand grenades. Two were used, leaving 118 left.

If used properly, its power should be enough to wipe out any carbon-based life form.

He didn't have time to think. He removed the safety clips from each grenade, then found nylon rope and tied the safety pins together, making it look like a net bag filled with dozens of apples...

But Li Weizhou still felt uneasy. He only had so many weapons he had brought back from abroad, and he regretted it!

However, there is no chance.

Li Weizhou has probably never thought his mind would work so fast in his entire life, and he actually came up with a potentially useful idea.

He quickly went to the garage to drain the gasoline from the pickup truck, then packed up a pile of empty bottles in the corner with a box, hurried down to the basement, and found a magnesium powder box in the building materials...

When magnesium powder is added to waterproof coatings, it can form a tight arrangement in the coating, enhancing the coating's density and thus improving its ability to block water, thereby achieving a waterproof effect.

This was left over from the previous owner's renovation, in preparation for the next application of a waterproof layer.

Li Weizhou opened the box and poured the gasoline into the bottles one by one, then found some white sugar...

I wonder if I can give that old dog a big surprise!

After a flurry of activity, I piled everything in the basement, sat down, and walked through...

……

"you're awake?"

As soon as Li Weizhou opened his eyes amidst the bare trees of the snow-covered Dayuan Mountain, he heard the kind voice of his newly recognized "mentor".

Li Weizhou immediately panicked and said, "I...how did I fall asleep? Master, why didn't you wake me up? Don't let me ruin your important business!"

Although my face was burning with embarrassment and I cursed that son of a bitch's ancestors in my heart, I still had to say it.

The old eunuch, somewhat embarrassed, chuckled and asked, "Where did you learn this method of entering meditation?"

Li Weizhou said, "I didn't learn from anyone. I just took a nap leaning against the stone door of that Immortal Cave, and now I can sleep whenever I want. If it weren't for this little skill, I wouldn't have been able to practice the stance training that fat bastard Qi Zhenkun gave me!" After saying this angrily, he said to the old eunuch, "Master, shall I demonstrate for you?" with a hint of boasting.

The old eunuch, naturally wanting to see the magic, slowly nodded.

Li Weizhou grinned at him, then his head lolled to the side and he lost consciousness.

The old eunuch didn't slap him again; he could tell from the sound of Li Weizhou's breathing that he was truly asleep.

At this moment, the old eunuch almost wanted to roar to the sky to express the surging emotions in his heart!
How kind Heaven has been to him!
