A leisurely life in the world of cultivation

Chapter 68 has been found! (Ninth update!!)

When Li Weizhou opened his eyes again, he saw a wrinkled old face grinning like a chrysanthemum. He blinked and chuckled, "Master, isn't this a funny move?"

The old eunuch could tell that this newly accepted apprentice was somewhat of a fool.

He can tell whether a person's smile is genuine or a smile hiding worry.

This kid is really happy right now.

That kind of mindset alone is quite remarkable.

He hoped to make a great harvest at the Immortal's Cave; otherwise, he felt it would be a waste to turn such a fine seedling into soup with his own hands…

"Good disciple, can you now find the way to the Immortal's Cave?"

The old eunuch spoke quickly, but still asked in a calm and collected manner.

It's quite interesting how this master and apprentice pair never even introduced themselves...

Li Weizhou asked, "Master, which direction did you come in from?"

The old woman's heart sank when she heard this. This unreliable apprentice probably really couldn't remember, but she still asked, "You really can't remember?" As she spoke, she pointed in the direction they came from.

Li Weizhou chuckled dryly, "If I remembered that clearly, the Heavenly Blade Sect Master would have arrested me too. I just remember going north from the entrance of the valley I had just built, following the original direction of the Fu Family Village. Because when I ran away, I was heading towards the sun. The sun is in the east, Master, just head west, you can't go wrong!!"

The old eunuch's face was starting to crack, and he cursed inwardly: "You damn old crooked leg! Our family has really had a run of bad luck, how could we have run into such a stupid country bumpkin! And he's absolutely right, the sun does move, who knows what time it was viewed?"
Then it dawned on him: no wonder those fools, Qian Jintang and Liu Renbu, hadn't gone back yet; they were all busy looking for a chance encounter with immortals.

But if you search like this, the vast Dayuan Mountain stretches for thousands of miles, you'll find absolutely nothing!

However, we can go through it again and let this kid take a good look at it.

Without saying a word, the old eunuch grabbed Li Weizhou, who was wrapped in a brocade quilt, and started walking back, warning him not to sleep anymore.

Li Weizhou agreed, curled up, and shrank into the quilt, offering his own explanation: "Master, it's too cold outside, and I can't open my mouth to speak... Your movements are too fast, like a god! Master, is it that at your level, a horse becomes a burden? Master, I wish I could be this fast too, you're a terrestrial immortal!"

An excellent humanoid transportation tool, it can traverse mountains and valleys as if walking on flat ground, and feels even faster than a high-speed train!
The old woman was annoyed by what she heard, thinking to herself how she had taken in such a gossipy person. She said in a deep voice, "Look carefully and show us the way. The sooner we find the Immortal Cave, the sooner we can take you back to the palace to become an apprentice."

Li Weizhou readily agreed, and soon arrived at Shenji Valley. Without disturbing anyone, he set off from Shenji Valley and headed southwest.

It truly involved traversing mountains and valleys; the old eunuch leaped across the riverbank, which was only a few feet wide, with a light touch of his foot.

Stable and steady.

Li Weizhou kept his eyes fixed ahead, convinced that the vast Dayuan Mountain must hold the deep cave he was looking for...

……

"Still can't remember where it is?"

From dawn till dusk, the old eunuch's initial excitement gradually turned somber, and his gaze towards Li Weizhou became less friendly...

This brat kept ordering him around, sometimes even taking a long detour back to the same spot, which annoyed him greatly.

Li Weizhou said with shame, "Master, I only remember that it was a very narrow cave entrance. There seemed to be a big tree at the entrance with protruding roots. I tripped and slipped, and that's how I fell in. I got a lot of treasures from the Immortal Cave. When I came out, I felt like I had escaped from prison, and all I wanted to do was go home. I was very content, so I didn't think about coming back, and therefore I didn't remember the way..."

The old eunuch was speechless upon hearing this. What a simpleton from the countryside... He reflected to himself that he couldn't be less composed than a fool. He needed to be patient in order to obtain a true destiny with immortality. Therefore, he said, "No rush, take your time to search."

He didn't know that Li Weizhou had already been found!
……

late at night.

In a sheltered mountain hollow, a bonfire was burning brightly.

Beside the campfire, a young man wrapped tightly in three layers of brocade quilts was fast asleep on a makeshift wooden bed.

On the other side, a rather thin and frail old man sat expressionlessly on a wooden stool, his eyes flickering as he looked at the campfire. After a while, he slowly took out a divine object from his bosom that should never have appeared in this world...

He stared intently for a long time, then gently stroked it, stroked it...

……

Inside the villa in Changzhou.

Li Weizhou checked the weapons in the basement again and again. The large revolver, Barrett rifle, and submachine gun were all fully loaded with bullets and the safety was off.

My heart felt heavy, and I was a little nervous.

He wasn't sure just how powerful the old eunuch was, or whether they could win this battle...

But the worst-case scenario must be mutual destruction, leaving no future trouble for their relatives on the other side...

It feels really good to have family around.

I hope Ximei can grow up safely and happily, and I hope the fourth son can achieve great things, so that the Li family can also remain safe and sound.

He's doing quite well here. Although he can't continue running the pig blood powder factory, he can still find ways to do other things.

He just returned from Shenglong Money Exchange with a large sum of gold, enough for him to live a carefree life for the rest of his days...

In other words, even in the worst-case scenario, one can still live a good life.

Done! !
……

It was bright.

Li Weizhou opened his eyes and was surprised to smell the aroma of meat.

The campfire was still burning, and much of the surrounding snow had melted, revealing the earth. Beside it lay a black deerskin…

Li Weizhou was still reluctant to get out of bed, but then the time came...

He looked somewhat embarrassed at the old eunuch sitting to the side roasting venison and said, "Master, I need to... relieve myself!"

"..."

The old eunuch didn't curse anything. He got up, walked over, and untied the strips of cloth binding the quilt. Li Weizhou then got up to resolve the issue.

As he got up, the pain from touching his wound made him wince and gasp for breath.

"Go further away."

Seeing that Li Weizhou had only walked seven or eight steps before trying to take off his pants and squat down, the old eunuch took out a handkerchief, wiped his nose, and said with disgust.

Li Weizhou chuckled dryly, walked a little further, and took off his pants to relieve himself.

He really solved his urgent need...

When they returned to the campfire, the old eunuch was still covering his nose with a handkerchief, and the venison was stuck in the ground; he seemed to have no interest in eating it.

Li Weizhou wasn't very polite. He washed his hands with snow, wiped them on his body, and then shamelessly asked for a piece of venison, which he ate with great relish.

After finishing eating, I lay down again...

The old eunuch: "..."

Li Weizhou explained, "The bone is still broken, and it hurts terribly. Master, I'll have to trouble you again today... to bandage it for me again."

After a moment of silence, the old eunuch smiled tolerantly and, sure enough, wrapped Li Weizhou up again in the three layers of cotton quilts...

Without another word, the old eunuch carried Li Weizhou on his way again.

However, this time, after walking for a short while, Li Weizhou looked at the mountains ahead and suddenly exclaimed "Eh!" The old eunuch immediately stopped and asked, "What's wrong?" His voice was slightly tense.

Li Weizhou stared at the mountain range ahead and exclaimed, "It seems to be nearby! I remember now, when I climbed out that day, the mountain to the west looked like a woman. Master, look, doesn't that mountain ahead look like a woman?"

The old eunuch looked at it for a while, and it was unclear whether he had figured it out or not, before asking, "Which way should we go now?" His expression was serious but also excited.

Li Weizhou thought for a moment and said, "We may have gone too far... Master, why don't you walk back a bit, a little to the north..."

The old eunuch was very obedient. He looked around and saw that there was a lot of snow in the mountains and forests. Without someone to guide him, it would be almost impossible to find the cave entrance.

However, when he turned around, he saw a black hole behind a giant tree, surrounded by snow and only the size of a plate.

This must be a deep hole, only then would the underground heat rise up, making it difficult to seal the entrance.

The old eunuch carried Li Weizhou to the front and slowly asked, "Is this the place?" His breath hitched.

Is this where his destiny to become an immortal lies?!
Li Weizhou was a little unsure, saying, "It looks like it, but the opening seems a bit small... It wasn't this small when I climbed out."

After staring at the cave entrance for a while, the old eunuch suddenly opened his eyes and lightly stomped his foot on the ground. Li Weizhou immediately felt the ground around him shake, and the snow on the trees fell with a whooshing sound. He quickly shrank his neck, but found that the old eunuch did not move at all, and the snow did not fall on him. The snow on his head bounced off instantly...

The snow around the cave entrance had also collapsed, revealing a hole the size of an iron pot.

Li Weizhou sensed something and exclaimed excitedly, "It's so similar, so similar, so incredibly similar... Master, please put me down, I'll go down and scout ahead for you, maybe we can find some treasure inside! Last time I was in too much of a rush and didn't get a good look..."

As he spoke, he began to wriggle in the blankets again.

The old eunuch put him down, but did not untie the strips of cloth binding him. His voice was suppressed and low as he said softly, "You are injured and you can't hold on even if you go down. Just wait here. I'll be right back."

What if this time, a divine connection has been made, and it chooses its master...?

He wasn't afraid of Li Weizhou having any tricks up his sleeve; in the face of absolute strength, all schemes and tricks were utterly useless.

Li Weizhou dared not disobey the old eunuch's wishes, so he said, "Master, you should come up sooner rather than later, otherwise I'll be in big trouble if a tiger comes."

The old eunuch nodded nonchalantly and said, "We'll be listening for any noise."

After saying that, he took a step forward and fell straight down.

Li Weizhou called out from the cave entrance, "Ouch, Master, be careful! A chunk of snow has fallen in..."

His tone was full of concern for his mentor, but suddenly he had a box in his hand, which was filled with fifty-eight apple-sized hand grenades.

The safety clip on the grenade had already been removed, and a nylon rope was threaded through the safety pin's ring. Li Weizhou yanked the rope sharply, and a series of crisp "bang bang bang" sounds rang out. Then he flipped the hissing box upside down over the entrance of the hole, and then rolled backward to the side, hiding under three layers of quilts...

Approximately four seconds later, deafening explosions resounded continuously, echoing throughout the mountains and rivers!
The box at the entrance of the hole had long been shattered by the shockwave and was nowhere to be found.

However, Li Weizhou endured the ringing in his ears and threw one bottle after another filled with "fairy ecstasy" into the cave entrance, and the "boom" suddenly grew louder.

And black and red flames shot into the sky.

After throwing twenty in a row, Li Weizhou, wrapped in a blanket, rolled over to the front, enduring the scorching black smoke, took out two Barrett rifles, and without even aiming, pulled the triggers at the cave entrance:

BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! !
From inside the cave entrance, a faint, painful, weak, and furious roar could be heard: "I hate it!!!"

Li Weizhou: "?!!"

What utter nonsense!
With that kind of ability, why the hell do you need to seek some kind of destiny with immortals?!
