Immortal Life: Starting with Daily Last Words

Chapter 106 Ancestor Yuzhen

"Disciple pays respects to Grandmaster."

Yu Daoxuan bowed to the person before him.

The Jade True Ancestor is over 310 years old this year, but he looks much younger than Qi Donglou. His complexion is rosy like a baby's, and his temperament is extraordinary.

A cultivator in the Purple Mansion stage can live up to five hundred years. If nothing unexpected happens, Daoist Yuzhen will have at least another hundred years to live.

And since his cultivation level is high, his methods of preserving youth are naturally far superior to those of Foundation Establishment cultivators.

At this moment, Daoist Yuzhen was sitting cross-legged on a futon with his eyes closed in meditation. Upon hearing the sound, he slowly opened his eyes, his gaze deep and unfathomable, making it impossible for anyone to look directly at him.

"Dao Xuan, there's no need for such formalities. Please sit opposite me."

The voice of Master Yuzhen was as gentle as jade, like a clear mountain spring, making people feel very comfortable.

"Thank you, Ancestor."

Yu Daoxuan sat down as instructed, his expression respectful.

"I've heard everything from Donglou and Cao Can about what happened on Xiexing Island. You were brave and resourceful, and you did a great job."

Any disciple of the Qingyuan Sect would be extremely happy to receive the approval of the sect's patriarch.

However, despite his joy, he did not become complacent.

He quickly replied respectfully, "Grandmaster, you flatter me. I merely did what I was supposed to do and do not deserve such praise."

"Of course it's worth it. You rescued that girl Yaoyin, and only then does my Qingyuan Sect have hope," said Ancestor Yuzhen slowly. "That girl is now extremely dependent on and close to you. While you were away, she wrote to you almost every day, inquiring about news about you."

"Now that you're back, you're constantly running to Donglai Peak, which has even interfered with your cultivation."

Yu Daoxuan understood that the key point of the other party's words was the last sentence.

So he replied half-truthfully, "Cultivation is the primary task of a cultivator. When I find an opportunity in the future, I will certainly give my junior uncle some serious advice."

"It's good that Daoxuan understands what's important and what's not."

Master Yuzhen revealed a hint of "this child is teachable."

He also knew that after returning to her sect, the other party focused on cultivation and did not take the initiative to see Lü Yaoyin.

I believed Yu Daoxuan to some extent.

Then, Daoist Yuzhen suddenly changed the subject: "Daoxuan, do you know what a sect or a family fears most?"

Yu Daoxuan pondered for a long time before slowly speaking: "In my opinion, this is a case of infighting among fellow disciples, and the collapse of the sect's rules and regulations."

After speaking, he looked at the other person with a seek of knowledge on his face.

"These things are important, but they are not what a sect fears most." Ancestor Yuzhen looked at Yu Daoxuan and said, word by word, "What a sect fears most is a sudden extinction of its lineage."

"Without a Purple Mansion cultivator in charge, not only will the sect's interests in various parts of the South Sea Continent be difficult to protect, but even the foundation of the sect on Bixu Island may not be able to be defended."

Yu Daoxuan nodded slowly, deeply agreeing.

He solemnly cupped his hands and said, "The ancestor's words are truly enlightening. This disciple will certainly prioritize cultivation, wholeheartedly pursue the Dao, and persevere in my arduous practice."

"Dao Xuan is a reasonable person."

"6

Yu Zhen Daoist said with satisfaction.

In just six months, two Purple Mansion cultivators, Cui and Yang, passed away one after another. He could barely keep the sect afloat on his own.

However, if they want to further develop the sect, they will be unable to do so.

Although Guo Xiaotian is currently in seclusion to break through to the Purple Mansion realm, breaking through to the Purple Mansion realm is always dangerous, and it is still hard to say whether he will succeed.

Therefore, the future hopes of the sect largely rest on Lü Yaoyin.

She possesses a special physique, and her cultivation speed surpasses that of cultivators with Earth-grade spiritual roots, making her the most promising candidate in the entire sect to reach the Purple Mansion realm.

He still has over a hundred years to protect the sect. As long as he focuses on cultivation and maintains a pure Yin body, achieving the Purple Mansion realm within a hundred years is no problem.

Once she loses her primordial yin, it will greatly affect Lü Yaoyin's cultivation speed.

Therefore, he had to play the villain and cut off all factors that would affect Lü Yaoyin's ability to concentrate on her cultivation.

"Dao Xuan, you have only recently established your foundation; you still need to consolidate your cultivation."

"I have a drop of the Azure Sea Secret Water that is a hundred years old. Please accept it. Cultivate diligently in the future and do not let down the expectations that your master and I have for you."

Master Yuzhen took out a mutton-fat jade bottle and said with a burning gaze.

"Rest assured, Grandmaster, the path to immortality is what Dao Xuan has been pursuing all his life."

Yu Daoxuan gladly accepted the jade bottle and responded solemnly.

The other party deliberately told him about this after he had reached the Foundation Establishment stage, so he didn't have much of a problem with Daoist Yuzhen.

Of course, the most important thing is that he has no interest in romantic relationships with women right now, and his cultivation is his priority.

After all, the world of cultivation is ever-changing and unpredictable. Foundation Establishment cultivators have only just gained a foothold and can at best protect themselves. They are far from having the means to truly make a living.

Looking at the young man before him, Master Yuzhen observed his humble yet dignified demeanor, and his composure in the face of being scrutinized and challenged.

After reading it, he had only one thought in his mind.

This young man's resolve in the Dao far surpasses that of the vast majority of cultivators in the sect; he is a person worthy of great use.

Then Master Yuzhen spoke up: "I wonder if Xuan has any doubts or difficulties in his cultivation? Please speak frankly."

"Dao Xuan does indeed have many questions about cultivation, and hopes that the Ancestor can guide him through them."

Upon hearing this, Yu Daoxuan was overjoyed and immediately seized the opportunity.

He had only recently established his foundation and was still exploring the path of cultivation ahead.

If he had a true cultivator of the Purple Mansion to guide him, his path to enlightenment would be much smoother.

Master Yuzhen looked pleased and carefully answered all of his questions about cultivation.

Time flew by in the back and forth between questions and answers.

It wasn't until after noon that Yu Daoxuan reluctantly left Yu Zhen Daoren's cave.

The other party truly lived up to his reputation as a Purple Mansion True Cultivator; many of his troubling questions were suddenly cleared up after just a few words of guidance from the other party.

""

As he descended the mountain on the stone steps, Yu Daoxuan remained perfectly clear-headed.

What appears to be praise and reward from Ancestor Yuzhen today is actually a barrage of criticism.

The patriarch valued Lü Yaoyin the most, regarding her as the only hope for the Qingyuan Sect to continue the Purple Mansion lineage. He feared that if the two interacted too closely, it would disturb the Dao heart of his junior uncle.

The statement about the sect's succession just now was clearly a reminder to him to be mindful of his actions and not to get involved in anything inappropriate.

Yu Daoxuan gently gripped the jade bottle containing the Cangming Secret Water hidden in his sleeve.

This gift is both compensation from the other party and an invisible shackle.

In the future, you must maintain an appropriate distance when interacting with Lü Yaoyin.

However, Yu Daoxuan has no feelings for his children at the moment.

As mentioned earlier, the path to immortality is what he pursues in this life.

Upon returning to his cave dwelling on Donglai Peak, he activated the cave's defensive formation and sat cross-legged on the bed.

The jade bottle was taken out; its body felt cold to the touch.

Upon opening the jade bottle, a pure and yin-like aura of water permeated the air, causing the temperature in the quiet room to drop sharply.

The moment the secret water entered his stomach, a surge of icy spiritual energy rushed through his limbs and bones like a river bursting its banks.

Yu Daoxuan immediately activated the Supreme Golden Chapter, and a five-colored halo emanated from his body as he fully guided this abundant power to circulate throughout his meridians.

After completing more than ten cycles of circulation, Yu Daoxuan felt completely refreshed and his body felt much lighter than before.

After being treated twice with the Cangming Secret Water, he felt that all the poison in his body had disappeared.

The flow of magical energy within his body became smoother, and his magical power more than doubled.

Unfortunately, the 100-year-old Cangming Secret Water had no effect on improving one's aptitude.

However, he was already extremely satisfied.

This drop of the hundred-year-old Cangming Secret Water saved him at least three to five years of arduous cultivation.

"Brother Yu, are you in your cave?"

A sweet and soft girl's voice suddenly came from outside the cave.
