Chapter 115 Scholar Wu Discusses Sealing Spirits
Li Wushou was somewhat confused.
Little did he know that Wu Qinghe had witnessed Chen Gou'er's embarrassing moment.

Therefore, he was somewhat confused: should he reply? Or should he reply?

If things go well, will that tiger girl turn around and ask me to pay her back?

If I don't respond well, will it seem too fake for me to act uncomfortable like this?

Li Wushou was somewhat conflicted, while Wu Qinghe became a little nervous. Was this a relapse?
Neither of them spoke for a moment, walking silently down the road, secretly sizing each other up. Seeing that their expressions were normal, they both breathed a sigh of relief.

Li Wushou was relieved that the other party didn't mention repaying the money, and Wu Qinghe was relieved that the other party didn't excitedly invite her to a fish-eating contest.

"Ahem.!"

Suddenly, a muffled cough echoed from the quiet roadside. Li Wushou looked up and saw a burly figure standing by the roadside, holding a gourd of wine high and pouring it into his mouth.

Li Wushou's face lit up with joy, and he hurriedly went to greet him.

"Scholar Wu, why aren't you telling stories in the teahouse at this hour?"

Scholar Wu glanced at Li Wushou with annoyance, then casually hung the wine gourd back on his waist. "I'm not in the mood today!"

Li Wushou, though rebuffed, remained unperturbed and moved closer to Wu Zhuangyuan, whispering, "Wu Zhuangyuan, your storytelling style in Wufang City is unique. I'd like to ask you something!"

Just as Wu Zhuangyuan took the fish basket from Wu Qinghe's waist, he said with a hint of sarcasm, "Oh~ the revered high priest of the City God Temple, what else do you want to ask us?"

Hearing this, Li Wushou was speechless. This damned high priest was really giving him a lot of trouble.

He sighed with a touch of melancholy, "Alas, Scholar Wu, every family has its own troubles!"

Wu Zhuangyuan, who had wanted to make a few more sarcastic remarks, glanced at his daughter standing silently to the side after hearing Li Wushou's words and found himself inexplicably agreeing with her.

Li Wushou, however, disregarded all that and seeing that Scholar Wu remained silent, he no longer hesitated to ask directly:
“Scholar Wu, recently there have been various picture books about me circulating in the city. I suspect that someone is deliberately trying to smear my reputation. Have you heard about this?”

While Wu Zhuangyuan was still troubled by his daughter, he suddenly heard Li Wushou ask this question and thought that Li Wushou already knew that he was the one who was making things up about him behind his back.

Somewhat embarrassed, he took off the gourd and took two more sips.

He then firmly replied, "I haven't heard of it!"

Knowing that the other party knows is one thing, but admitting it is another. Wu Zhuangyuan decided to deny it to the death!

Li Wushou glanced at Wu Zhuangyuan, whose voice had suddenly become louder, narrowed his eyes, and wondered to himself, "Could it be that Wu Zhuangyuan also talked about these picture books behind my back?"

Seeing Li Wushou's suspicious look, Wu Zhuangyuan, whose bearded face remained expressionless, coughed lightly and urged, "It's getting late, let's go back to the city!"

After saying that, without waiting for Li Wushou's reaction, he gestured to Wu Qinghe and the two of them started walking towards Wufang City.

Seeing the slight smile on Wu Qinghe's lips as she brushed past him, Li Wushou finally realized that this Wu Zhuangyuan must have mentioned his sketchbooks!

For some reason, Li Wushou felt a pang of regret for his two pieces of river god meat.

Initially a little embarrassed to ask Scholar Wu for some advice, she now felt much more at ease! So she quickened her pace, caught up with the Wu father and daughter, and asked again:
"Scholar Wu, have you ever heard of the Sealing Spirit Path?"

In the end, Wu Zhuangyuan could not escape Li Wushou's entanglement. The main reason was that he was a little overwhelmed. Li Wushou recounted all the picture books he had compiled in front of Wu Qinghe.

If they were all the picture books he had arranged, that would be fine. The problem is that many of the picture books Li Wushou told had been processed by storytellers multiple times and had long since deviated from Wu Zhuangyuan's original version.

Scholar Wu was at a loss for words!
After hearing the erotic version of the Bridge Princess story, Wu Zhuangyuan quickly stopped Li Wushou and began to tell him about the Sealing Spirit Path.

According to Wu Zhuangyuan, Fenglingdao is an extremely strange immortal sect with very few members, but each member is extremely mysterious.

Unlike conventional cultivators who cultivate qi, establish their foundation, and form their core, they cultivate a divine palace within their bodies. Within this divine palace reside their respective "spirits." These "spirits" either seize the innate spirits or capture evil spirits and deities, sealing them within the divine palace for their own use and to nourish themselves.

Therefore, the stronger the "spirit" of a Fengzheng, the stronger he/she becomes. This is why, although the number of people in the Fengling Path is small, few people dare to provoke them.

Of course, every sip and every bite is preordained by Heaven. Although the method of sealing spirits is extremely powerful, it is also extremely difficult to cultivate!
First of all, opening up the divine palace is extremely difficult; if one is not careful, one's forehead will be shattered and one's skull will explode, resulting in death.

Secondly, the stronger the "spirit," the more difficult it is to seal it. Even if the "spirit" is sealed and enters the divine palace, if one's own soul is not strong, there is a risk of being alienated in the future. At that time, it is very likely that one will be controlled by the "spirit" and lose oneself!

Therefore, although it is often said in the immortal sects that once you seal your spirit, you can ascend to heaven in one step, very few people with real foundations actually join the path of sealing spirits. After all, there is a solid and reliable road under your feet, so why gamble on a vague future?
Of course, not everyone in the immortal sects highly praises the Spirit Sealing Path. Many people believe that the Spirit Sealing Path has great hidden dangers. They feel that although the Spirit Sealing Path seems to control these "spirits" for a short time, in the long run, it will eventually lead to the loss of self and the inability to distinguish between "human" and "spirit".

Many people believe that Fengling Dao is not actually cultivating the true path of immortality but the path of gods. However, the path of gods feeds on incense offerings and believers, while Fengling Dao feeds on evil gods and innate spirits.

Therefore, opinions on the Fengling Dao vary, but generally people keep their distance.

Li Wushou listened intently, marveling at the wonders of the Sealing Spirit Path while being astonished by Wu Zhuangyuan's eloquence. He hadn't expected that Wu Zhuangyuan would actually know about the Sealing Spirit Path.

This made him somewhat curious about Wu Zhuangyuan's identity.

He had observed Wu Zhuangyuan and Wu Qinghe, but in Li Wushou's view, the two were merely more vigorous in terms of qi and blood than ordinary people.

This is clearly the effect of the two people concealing themselves!

After thinking it over, Li Wushou gave up the idea of ​​focusing on observing the other party. It wasn't that Li Wushou was polite, but rather that he had known for a long time that if you force yourself to look at something you can't see clearly, you will have to bear the consequences of seeing it clearly.

The current relationship is good enough, and Li Wushou doesn't want to explore further, lest he cause more trouble.

With the help of Wu Zhuangyuan's explanation, Li Wushou finally gained a clearer understanding of Zhu Sihai's daughter.

It seems that the "spirit" sealed by the other party must be that little sparrow that is invisible to the naked eye and whose soul is difficult to understand.

He just didn't know what this little sparrow was called. Li Wushou searched through the Five Directions Evil Records but couldn't find any similar information.

However, as Li Wushou learned more about the Sealing Spirit Path, his interest in the Sealing Spirit Technique grew stronger.

Nothing more! Wu Zhuangyuan had just said that Fengling Dao feeds on evil spirits and innate spirits. Upon hearing this, Li Wushou clearly sensed a fluctuation in the dark shadow behind him.

I wonder what it would be like if I were to cultivate this spirit-sealing technique?
There was a huge traffic jam on my way back to Hangzhou today, so tomorrow's update might be a little late. Please forgive me.
