Two Realms: Modern Invasion of Cultivation

Zhou Mingze arrived very early.

Monk Baoguang and his disciple Chengchen also came.

Yun Qing had already received Yun Zhi's message yesterday, so she had been waiting and showed up to greet him.

There were no excessive formalities.

Yun Qing, the monk Bao Guang, and Zhou Mingze went to have tea together first.

Yun Zhi looked much better than last night, and after returning, she took Zhou Yutang for a stroll around the Taoist temple.

And in the courtyard of the experience class.

Zhou Yuqian rushed in and looked for his mother.

As the dormitory door opened.

Xu Manzhu casually adjusted her Taoist robe with her delicate hands and walked out unhurriedly.

"Mom, you just got up?"

Zhou Yuqian stepped forward and asked curiously.

"I've been up for a while now."

Xu Manzhu silently closed the door and sat down at the stone table in the courtyard.

"Mom, Dad's awake."

Zhou Yuqian sat down beside him, grinning, and said, "That Mr. Song wasn't lying, but you have no idea what I saw last night..."

No hiding.

Zhou Yuqian began to speak eloquently, becoming more and more excited as he spoke.

"Mom, I want to cultivate immortality!"

the end.

Looking at his son's determined face.

Xu Manzhu said indulgently, "Okay, then go fix it."

Although she is a Bodhisattva and possesses some divine abilities, and even opened up her spiritual sea this morning, all of this was fed to her mouth-to-mouth and taught to her hand-by-hand by Song Yu. In essence, she still does not understand cultivation.

As a result, when her son wanted to cultivate immortality, she couldn't offer any advice or stop him.

Since that's the case, let my son try it himself.

Where is your father?

Xu Manzhu didn't upset her son; instead, she changed the subject.

"My dad is talking to the Taoist priest here."

Zhou Yuqian asked expectantly, "Mom, do you think I can stay in this Taoist temple and cultivate immortality?"

Xu Manzhu said calmly, "Mom believes in you. As long as you work hard, you will get good results."

Zhou Yuqian said with satisfaction, "With your blessing, Mom, I'm sure I can do it."

Xu Manzhu smiled gently.

The mother and son chatted for a long time.

Zhou Yuqian was the one talking the whole time, while Xu Manzhu listened quietly.

Much later.

A figure walked in through the courtyard gate.

Zhou Mingze has arrived.

Xu Manzhu looked up, her expression unchanged.

"Qian'er".

Zhou Mingze stepped forward and sat down, saying, "I've already spoken with the Taoist priests. You can experience things with them first. After a few days, when Taoist Qingsong returns, we'll see if he can take you as his disciple."

"Go find the Taoist priests first."

Upon hearing this...

Zhou Yuqian left with a face full of excitement.

"have not seen you for a long time."

Zhou Mingze sat down, looked at his wife in her Taoist robe, and smiled, "I'm sorry to have worried you these past few days."

Xu Manzhu said softly, "It's good that you're awake."

Zhou Mingze nodded and said, "I feel very healthy now."

The two suddenly fell silent again.

Zhou Mingze thought that the feeling of estrangement would disappear after he saw his wife.

But the result still lingers.

It was as if the two of them had become strangers who were friends.

He couldn't figure it out.

"Let's...get a divorce..."

Finally, Xu Manzhu broke the silence, raised her beautiful eyes, and looked at her husband.

Why?

Zhou Mingze remained surprisingly calm, looked at his wife and pondered, "I feel that we have indeed grown a bit distant, but it doesn't seem to have reached the point of divorce."

Xu Manzhu said slowly, "Because I don't love you anymore, and you don't love me anymore either."

Zhou Mingze said helplessly, "You're right, but I don't understand why we suddenly stopped loving each other after waking up."

Xu Manzhu pursed her lips and said in a cryptic tone, "There has never been love between us. Even the feelings we've developed over the years are fake."

Zhou Mingze looked enlightened.

It seems that this is indeed the case; there seems to have been no love or affection between the two of them.

However, this contradicts my experience of more than ten years.

He still couldn't understand why this was happening.

"Then there's no need for a divorce."

He shook his head slightly and said, "I've thought it through. We'll slowly find each other again together in the future."

Xu Manzhu hesitated for a moment, then shook her head slightly and said, "It can't be found, Mingze. I could never fall in love with you."

She wasn't hesitant about whether they should stay together, but rather whether she should tell the man about Fu Yuan's misdeeds. If she were to tell him, she would have to mention Song Yu as well.

How will you know if you don't try?

Zhou Mingze didn't want to give up.

Even without love, in his eyes, his wife was still a very precious woman.

She is beautiful, has a good personality, and is very dignified and elegant in every way.

He had no reason to let go or miss out.

"No need to try."

Xu Manzhu said with clear, beautiful eyes, "Mingze, you're awake, and so am I. We were powerless before, but from now on, we can each be well."

Zhou Mingze paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "Every breakup needs a reason. Since you've made up your mind, you should give me a plausible reason, instead of just saying you don't love me anymore and getting a divorce."

Xu Manzhu sighed softly, "It seems... I have no choice but to make you back down."

Zhou Mingze asked curiously, "What do you mean?"

Xu Manzhu stood up and said, "You can try to continue loving me and see if you can fall in love with me again."

"If you still haven't fallen in love with me after three months, then let's get a divorce, okay?"

Three months...

Zhou Mingze stood up and said, "Okay, as long as I can fall in love with you again, we won't get a divorce?"

Xu Manzhu smiled and said, "That's right."

Is it so hard to love a woman?

Zhou Mingze didn't find it difficult, especially loving his beautiful and dignified wife.

He couldn't think of any reason not to love a woman like that.

In response to this...

Xu Manzhu wasn't worried at all.

The threads of fate and love between the two have been severed, and there is absolutely no possibility of them falling in love in the future. No matter how hard Zhou Mingze tries, he will never be able to fall in love with her.

The red thread on the other person's body could not possibly touch her in the slightest.

With the divine will of the Bodhisattva present, no one other than Song Yu could possibly have any romantic or karmic connection with her, and their fates would never cross her lines.

Without the red thread of fate, love cannot arise.

in this way.

After making the agreement.

Xu Manzhu said she was tired and went back to her dormitory to rest.

in the dormitory.

Song Yu's figure had already disappeared.

The Weaver Girl was fast asleep, nestled on the tabby cat and the little fox.

"They ate and then ran off, and who knows where they went next."

Xu Manzhu scolded him as she lay down on the bed, gently stroking the sleeping child with her jade-like hand, her thoughts drifting as she looked at the child.

So, where did this child come from?

Who gave birth to Song Yu's child?

She couldn't understand the child; she just felt that the child ate too much and wondered how long he had been starving, as he sucked very hard every time.

"Just as gluttonous as your father."

Xu Manzhu gently tapped the child's mouth with her finger and smiled.

at the same time.

outside.

After leaving the courtyard of the experience class.

Zhou Mingze encountered two women.

"Uncle Zhou."

Qin Jingshu looked at the man in front of her, her eyes cold, and asked, "Are you alright?"

Zhou Mingze was equally surprised and asked, "Jing Shu? What are you doing here?"

No disturbance.

Yun Su silently left first and entered the courtyard of the experience class.

"I came here with a friend."

Qin Jingshu asked calmly, "Where is Uncle Zhou?"

Zhou Mingze smiled and said, "The Taoist priest here cured me last night, and I came here specifically to thank him."

Qin Jingshu understood.

"Oh, right."

Zhou Mingze asked, "Jing Shu, where is that expert your sister Manzhu mentioned? That expert helped me, and I must thank them properly."

How can I help you?

Did I eat your wife's mouth for you?

Qin Jingshu said meaningfully, "Uncle Zhou, you should stay away from that expert."

Zhou Mingze asked curiously, "Why?"

Qin Jingshu thought for a moment and said, "There's no reason, it's just a suggestion."

Zhou Mingze shook his head and said, "I don't understand what you're saying. Just tell me where that expert is. I asked Master Yunqing, and he told me to ask you."

Qin Jingshu shook her head slightly and said, "I don't know either. My friend has his phone number. I'll have her call and ask."

Zhou Mingze nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll wait for your news."

After saying that, he left.

After watching the man leave, Qin Jingshu returned to the courtyard of the experience class and knocked on the dormitory door.

"Enter."

Xu Manzhu's voice rang out.

Push the door open.

Qin Jingshu walked in and immediately saw a beautiful woman who had taken off her Taoist robe and was lying on the bed, her figure alluring and seductive.

"I ran into Uncle Zhou."

Qin Jingshu sat down on a chair nearby and looked at the woman, saying, "Did you tell Uncle Zhou about your affair with Song Yu?"

Xu Manzhu stood up and sat up straight, saying, "Did you see my sister cheating on me with Xiaoyu?"

Qin Jingshu's eyes, hidden behind her glasses, were cool and captivating. She said meaningfully, "Does sister want evidence?"

Xu Manzhu said softly, "Jing Shu, you can't just say things without evidence."

Qin Jingshu remained silent for a moment, then stood up and said, "Sister Manzhu, you'd better be careful from now on, or I'll catch you cheating."

After saying that, he simply left.

Xu Manzhu watched them go, sighing inwardly.

Why is this girl suddenly targeting her?

Is it to help Huihui steal a man...?

She had a guess in her mind.

the other side.

Deep in the misty mountains, it is a place rarely visited by humans.

What comes into view is a solitary hilltop, neither high nor low. Even so, in the Yunwu Mountains, where hilltops are generally low, this hilltop is quite unique.

And at the foot of this mountain lies the location of the Yunwu Mountain dragon vein.

It was close to noon.

High in the sky, Song Yu stood suspended in mid-air, surrounded by a gentle breeze, enveloped by the power of illusion, and protected by the Taiyi talisman.

The accompanying spirit wind allows him to ride the wind and move freely throughout the vast world.

The power of illusion, combined with the Eight Gates Escape Talisman, concealed his figure, making him invisible to everyone.

The Taiyi protective talisman is the most important, as it can conceal all the energy and aura on his body, making him undetectable by radar or other detection devices.

Such thoroughness.

He looked down at the mountains and forests below.

If we consider the Cloud and Mist Mountains as a coiled dragon, then the core of the dragon vein is currently located at the head of the dragon.

The hilltop resembles a crouching tiger.

Thus, the coiled dragon and the crouching tiger form a "dragon coiled and tiger crouching" feng shui pattern.

Near the hilltop are three low hills, like the three legs of a tripod, forming a "three flowers gathering in the tripod" pattern.

The two patterns are not difficult to discern.

A quick calculation reveals that these two patterns have existed for a thousand years, yet they have remained undiscovered until now.

Why is that?

Song Yu paused for a moment, then had some guesses.

The heights are different.

He is now standing at a high vantage point, looking down with his all-seeing eye, and can see everything clearly.

What about an ordinary person?

It's hard.

Even if a feng shui master knows that the Cloud Mist Mountains are extraordinary and must contain a dragon vein, there is a high probability that he will not be able to find the core of the dragon vein.

the reason is simple.

Although the Cloud and Mist Mountains are not extremely dangerous primeval forests, the depths of them have never been polluted by the outside world, and the level of danger is not low.

The most dangerous thing is getting lost.

The Yunwu Mountains have a unique topography, with very winding and meandering terrain. They are also humid and frequently shrouded in fog, especially at dawn and dusk when the fog is thickest. This makes it easy to get lost once you venture deep into the mountains.

Even feng shui masters are useless; they can still get lost.

In ancient times, the magnetic field trajectory here would have been beyond the comprehension of ordinary feng shui masters.

Even with today's advanced technology, it's probably still impossible to figure it out.

As a result, and with these two feng shui formations hidden so deeply, they were naturally difficult to discover in ancient times.

As for whether anyone has noticed it yet...

unknown.

According to Song Yu's current scan with his Heavenly Eye, there are still no humans here, and no trace of anyone having discovered this place.

That's good, it saves a lot of trouble.

From an overhead view.

With a glance, he raised his hand and five divine talismans fell.

These are five "Five Elements Feng Shui Talismans" that can stabilize the energy of the five elements and enhance the Feng Shui arrangement of the five elements.

Just like now.

The "Jia Yi Wood Talisman" and "Geng Xin Metal Talisman" in the Five Elements Feng Shui Talisman are respectively located on the Panlong Earth Vein and the Wohu Mountain.

The Bing-Ding Fire Symbol, the Ren-Gui Water Symbol, and the Wu-Ji Earth Symbol respectively landed on three other small hills nearby.

Finally, the five-element feng shui talisman is wrapped with five-colored silk threads to form a whole, allowing the five-element feng shui energy to circulate.

At this point, the foundation for the "Five Elements Facing Heaven" feng shui arrangement has been laid.

The remaining task is to raise five mythical beasts.

The Black Tiger's divine intent is readily available, but the Black Tiger is transformed from the power of refined metal into the power of mysterious water, representing water.

Only by transforming the Black Tiger back into its refined metal form can it become the White Tiger.

The dragon inside the relic is still being nurtured.

The phoenix blood, after being absorbed, has not yet formed into a phoenix.

Qilin is still missing the great fortune that Xu Manzhu possesses.

The Xuanwu tortoise and snake are located near Leifeng Pagoda in West Lake, Hangzhou. If you come here, you'll have to give up on that area.

"Let's leave it at that for now, it'll be enough."

"We'll talk about the remaining Beasts of Fortune later."

Song Yu's thoughts drifted as he carefully observed the changes in the mountain forest after the Five Elements Feng Shui Talisman was placed.

Changes occurred quickly.

A light mist permeated the air, even during the day. Although it wasn't as thick as it was in the morning or evening, it was still noticeable if you looked closely.

Moreover, this mist is unusual; it has become somewhat spiritual, containing a faint spiritual energy.

The spiritual energy produced by these beads is the same as that produced by bodhi seed bracelets, meaning that spiritual power cannot be refined from them, and they only have the most basic nourishing effect.

A misty haze lingered around the three small hills and the large central hill, creating some unusual phenomena.

Most importantly, with the nourishment of this spiritual mist, the mountain and forest energy here will be of higher quality and richer, which will be enough for me to cultivate here every few days for the time being.

Of course, this is just the basic setup.

The next step is to build a cave dwelling.

Song Yu pondered for a long time, but ultimately had no clue.

In fact, with the formation formed by the Five Elements Feng Shui Talismans, it can already be considered a cave dwelling.

To create a cave dwelling like the "Exquisite Cave Heaven" of Lu Chengjing, a Golden Core cultivator from the Cloud Soaring Sect in the cultivation world, is simply impossible for him with his current strength.

"Enough is enough."

He simply gave up on trying to perfect it further, glanced at the lingering spiritual mist around the place, and looked satisfied.

Let the spiritual mist nourish the mountain forest's energy first, and then come back to cultivate in three days.

As for the rest...

He summoned the Thousand Transformations Device to ponder for a moment, then put it away and instead summoned the Dragon Scale Mirror to reflect his image.

With a tenfold increase in power.

He used the spiritual power refined within his spiritual sea, combined with the spiritual mist, to create an "Eight Gates Escape Talisman." He then consumed spiritual power to lock the talisman in its pure energy form onto a rock on the mountaintop, achieving a state of being able to gather without dispersing.

In this way, the spiritual mist here will be concealed by the Eight Gates Escape Talisman, and may even become undetectable.

Also.

He continued in the same way, combining spiritual power with the energy of the mountains and forests to draw an "Eight Directions Summoning Talisman" and lock it on a stone on the mountaintop to summon the energy of the mountains and forests and the energy of the clouds.

Next time he comes, he won't have to attract or gather Qi anymore; he can start cultivating directly.

After doing all this and checking that everything was in order, I realized there were no problems.

With a swift movement, he transformed into a streak of light and flew towards the location of Yunlai Temple.

Flying in a straight line.

Lingfeng, possessing the bone and empowered by the Eight Gates Escape Talisman, returned in just a short while.

Later, I can learn another escape technique to make me even faster.

While pondering.

His figure manifested within the Taoist temple.

A sweep of divine sense.

Yunqing was having tea and chatting with the monk Baoguang.

Yun Le was giving a sermon, and Cheng Chen, Zhou Yuqian, and Zhou Mingze, father and son, were listening attentively.

In the courtyard of the Taoist temple's experience class.

Meng Hui and Bai Moli had already woken up and were practicing Tai Chi with Yun Su in the courtyard.

Qin Jingzhu, Xu Manzhu, and Lan Yanyan, who had arrived at some unknown time, sat together drinking tea.

Song Yu paused, then fell into deep thought.

Six women...

It's hard to get in...

"What are you doing standing outside, child?"

In his mind, Xu Manzhu's voice transmitted to him, softly asking, "Are you scared seeing so many women...?"

Ha ha.

Song Yu smiled and transformed into a thin and pitiful appearance as he walked into the courtyard.

What's there to be afraid of?

He's a cultivator, how could these women possibly eat him?

The thought settled.

In the courtyard, all six women's eyes fell on him.

There did seem to be a hint of murderous intent in his eyes...

Weirdly scary...
