The Wandering Immortal

Chapter 55 Destined Person

Mount Hua is also known as Huashan (Flower Mountain) because it resembles a lotus flower when viewed from a distance.

But Jiang Yuan knew that one day, Chen Xiang would split this mountain apart, in a very violent way, leaving behind a famous landscape called "A Line of Sky".

It is said that Chenxiang couldn't find the seal at the time, so he swung his divine axe around randomly, hitting several mountains by mistake. Later, he received guidance from a master and was able to finally split Mount Hua.

In fact, the restrictions imposed by immortals can be easily lifted as long as the right method is used, but their family seems to have a violent bloodline, and everyone has the kind of reckless temper.

Who knows how many people will die from his indiscriminate hacking? Perhaps this is what they mean by "when gods fight, mortals suffer."

Jiang Yuan and Qing He continued to disguise themselves as an ordinary couple, sightseeing and having no idea how to find Yang Chan. They wandered around the foot of the mountain for a day, feeling quite bored.

They rented a guesthouse for the night, and Jiang Yuan could still see Mount Hua from the window. He wondered, "Why are there lights on in the mountains?"

Qinghe glanced at it. "Where?"

Jiang Yuan suddenly shuddered, "Wife, didn't you see the light?"

Qinghe stared intently, even using her Rejuvenating Eyes, but she couldn't see anything. Mount Hua was pitch black, with only the stars twinkling in the sky. "Is my husband teasing me?"

Jiang Yuan suddenly remembered that Yang Chan possessed a magical artifact called the Lotus Lantern, which was said to guide those with a predestined connection.

It seems one really shouldn't make wishes lightly. Back then, I only made up a bunch of lies to trick people into believing in the marriage thread, but it brought me a huge mess. Now that I can see the light of the magic lamp, I really can't just stay out of it.

Since Qinghe can't see it, then it's none of her business. She should go by herself.

"Husband, go take a look up the mountain. You rest first!"

The Qinghe of today is no longer the honest maid she once was; she has long harbored ambitions. Her husband's lingering thoughts of Mount Hua must have a reason.

Jiang Yuan flashed past the window, boarded the cloud boat, and headed straight for the lights.

Strangely, once I flew closer, the lights disappeared again.

Once we fly down Mount Hua, we'll be able to see each other again when we turn around.

After repeating this process three times, Jiang Yuan seemed to have an epiphany. He realized that although they were destined to meet, their strength was far too lacking. If a Foundation Establishment cultivator were to touch such a celestial restriction, he would probably be reduced to ashes.

What can be done? Go back and cultivate.

As the saying goes in the cultivation world, only those who have formed the Golden Elixir are of our generation. Let's come back and see when the time comes!

Back at the inn, Qinghe did not rest, but instead sat on a futon to practice her internal energy.

Seeing Jiang Yuan's dejected look, Qinghe asked, "Did your husband not get what he wanted?"

Let's return to Wuling tomorrow!

Qinghe continued her cultivation without saying another word, but Jiang Yuan felt embarrassed and asked, "Why doesn't my wife ask me what I'm looking for on Mount Hua?"

"Qinghe can never fathom her husband's thoughts, so why bother worrying about it unnecessarily!"

Jiang Yuan thought to himself, "My wife is a wonderful person, with a very insightful and discerning mind!"

"This matter is also somewhat related to you, but our cultivation levels are too low right now, so it's difficult for us to do it. We can tell you in the future."

On the return journey, the two still disguised themselves as ordinary people and traveled by carriage along the official road.

The Dongting Lake incident was so serious that six Golden Core cultivators died, more than a hundred Foundation Establishment cultivators were wiped out, and many small sects were almost without successors. The entire cultivation world of the Central Plains was shaken.

There were plenty of large-scale repairmen flying around in the sky right now, and Jiang Yuan didn't want to cause any trouble.

When they returned to Shennongding Immortal City, not only was Cui Qinghe's reputation even more renowned, but Guan Canghai had also become famous, with many cultivators engaging in lively discussions in teahouses and taverns.

"I heard he brought more than thirty people with him." "Indeed, if it weren't for Guan Canghai, many more people from the major sects would probably have died."

Jiang Yuan listened carefully for a while, but no one mentioned demon cores or flower demons. It was clear that it wasn't Shen Wangzhi and the others who leaked the information. It was probably just that there were a few big mouths among the last group of people who escaped together.

Jiang Yuan wasn't foolish enough to expose his identity. Fame and fortune are always a double-edged sword, especially with Venus (Taibai Jinxing) eyeing him.

Everything in the Five Ridges Mountains remained the same. The spiritual spring deep underground was shielded by an array, and only a very small amount of spiritual energy flowed out through the underground water veins, which would not have a significant impact on the outside world.

When Jiang Yuan returned to his cave, he only saw Jing Xuan. Old Lu seemed to still be in seclusion under the spiritual spring.

After being away for half a year, Jingxuan's cultivation level has improved again, reaching the eighth level of Qi Refining. He seems to have become several years younger.

Although Mount Luofu is a Taoist sect, it doesn't require its disciples to use Taoist names; Jingxuan seems to have chosen a solitary path. She was originally a beauty, but she didn't care much for dressing up, always wearing a simple Taoist robe and a Taoist hat. This might be related to her early experiences, something even her close friend Qinghe was unaware of.

The biggest gain from this trip was a level seven flower fairy, but Qinghe's current cultivation level is not yet able to absorb the essence of a level seven flower fairy. Jiang Yuan predicts that it will be best to use it before she forms her golden core.

Qinghe had already reached the initial stage of Foundation Establishment, and further Qi Refining was useless, yet she still couldn't advance to the middle stage of Foundation Establishment, so she had no choice but to ask Jiang Yuan for help.

Jiang Yuan was well aware of Qinghe's problem. "You have opened too few acupoints. If you want your cultivation to be smooth in the future, you must open as many wood-type acupoints as possible."

"But now my Qi cultivation is useless, and I can't open up my acupoints."

"Every alchemist will encounter this problem: they are good at controlling true qi, but they cannot make true qi abundant."

How can I break through this barrier?

"There are two methods: one is to refine the body, and the other is to fight to the death."

Body tempering naturally helps to open up acupoints. Fighting to the limit and completely exhausting one's own magical power, forcing oneself to the limit between life and death is also a way to break through.

For example, back in Luofu Immortal City, Qinghe, at the fourth level of Qi Refining, fought against a sword cultivator at the sixth level of Qi Refining, and that very night she felt the innate essence.

Fighting Jiang Yuan wouldn't push me to my limits, and neither of them would actually kill me. It seems the only way is to refine my body.

Qinghe felt distressed just thinking about Jiang Yuan's reckless body-refining methods. "Is that the only way?"

Jiang Yuan laughed and said, "For your wood-type physique, it's best to use the Golden Wind Body Tempering Technique. It might be terrible at first, but you have the 'All Things Grow' technique, so you don't need to soak in a medicinal bath and can recover on your own."

Jiang Yuan set up a small metal-based attack formation, and Qing He resisted the golden wind sword energy within the formation.

It started off weak, but once Qinghe got used to it, the sword energy was gradually increased. Qinghe was soon covered in wounds, with several cuts on her face.

The formation is not sealed off, and Qinghe can come out at any time; it all depends on her own willpower.

If he were teaching a disciple, or if it were a man, Jiang Yuan would definitely seal the light barrier and wouldn't stop until the skin was torn and bleeding.

Qinghe, however, was a stubborn person who would never give up easily. She used the "All Things Grow" technique to mobilize wood-type spiritual power and quickly recover her body.

This was the effect Jiang Yuan had hoped for: continuously consuming wood spiritual energy to restore his body, resist the golden wind sword energy, and making it almost a life-or-death struggle.

Skin and flesh can be restored with magic, but clothes cannot. Qinghe soon exposed herself and had to stop.

But she already knew the method and didn't need Jiang Yuan to look after her at all. She felt more at ease without him swallowing his saliva beside her.

Qinghe then kicked Jiang Yuan out of the training room, set up a concealment array outside the metal array, and simply stopped wearing clothes, letting the metal wind cut through her.

The formation had a door, which Qinghe could control herself, ensuring that each gust of golden wind could only cut a small part of the flesh without damaging the bones and muscles.

Wood-based techniques can heal wounds in a breath or two, thus both toughening the body and allowing one to cultivate wood-based techniques.
