Lu Mingfei started booking tickets. Airplane tickets are convenient, and the view from the air is also amazing.
He booked two window seats. As an ordinary citizen, he didn't choose business class. For the short journey of just a few hours, the remaining money would be enough for him to buy some collectible figurines or a few sets of comics.
He wouldn't waste money if the company didn't reimburse him. After all, he still had decades or even centuries to live on, and considering inflation, his money wouldn't last a lifetime. Plus, he might have children in the future, which would be even more expensive. He didn't want his children to live with other people, or even be treated badly, and he certainly didn't want his children to be targeted by people with ill intentions.
On the day of boarding, Liu Yanyan and Lu Mingfei changed into matching outfits and walked out of the house. He had already greeted the board members.
Liu Yanyan's office is all to herself. As long as she completes the required number of magical artifacts or participates in certain actions, she can spend this month in the office cultivating the Divine Machine Hundred Refinements to enhance her abilities.
This can be considered a paid training program.
They greeted the two people who had been living nearby and keeping watch.
"Let's go. I'll take you to the Celestial Master's Mansion on Longhu Mountain to find my grandmaster."
Inside a car downstairs.
The two people driving the car were company-assigned personnel to monitor Lu Mingfei. Their work was usually easy because Lu Mingfei was a homebody who rarely left his house.
"Brother Lu, you still don't know what happened, do you?"
"It's just about Biyou Village, what else could it be?"
The person in the passenger seat explained, "The old Celestial Master, who is also your grandmaster, single-handedly took on the Quanxing Sect. This is the most humiliating time since the sect's founding. He killed many of the Quanxing members. Even Ding Shian, one of the two heroes, couldn't withstand a single move from the old Celestial Master and is now confined to the Celestial Master's Mansion and cannot leave."
"So that's how it is. They banned my advisor's account, preventing him from leaving the mountain." Lu Mingfei wondered if he should go and "clean up" Quanxing again for the Old Celestial Master, so that Quanxing would really behave.
But as Chairman Zhao said before, Quanxing cannot be completely eradicated. When darkness disappears, the shadows beneath the light will be particularly glaring.
I believe that after this incident, Quanxing will behave itself for a while.
"That's it, are you still going?"
"Why wouldn't I go? I'm not going to sneak my master down the mountain; I'm just going to see my master."
"You're known as 'Xiao Tian Tong Dao Ren' in the company. It would be difficult to manage if the two of you got together."
Chapter 198 Black-hearted Cotton-padded Jacket
As an ordinary employee of the company, Qi Xing had tried his best to persuade his task target not to run away.
The results are often unexpected.
Not only did he run around recklessly, but he also took his girlfriend with him.
He had to follow them with his partner.
Qi Xing looked up and saw the mission target—Lu Mingfei, a person who was being closely watched by the board members, but who could not be restricted.
At the foot of Longhu Mountain, I bought a cotton candy for Liu Yanyan, a newly promoted weapon refiner. It looked like a colorful auspicious cloud, and the stick supporting it looked like a golden cudgel extending from the cloud.
"Lu Mingfei bought Liu Yanyan a colorful cotton candy at the foot of Longhu Mountain. It cost ten yuan and there was nothing unusual about it."
Qi Xing watched the two leave the cotton candy stall and move on to the next food stall, noting down their spending and behavior in turn. Once he confirmed that it was normal, he would record it.
Aside from observing Lu Mingfei's behavior, he spent most of his time on their tightly clasped hands, as if they were joined together by a mortise and tenon joint, and neither the crowded people nor the rugged roads could separate them.
After strolling around, the two of them had quite a few snacks in their hands.
For some reason, even though I didn't eat anything along the way, I could feel my stomach being stuffed full of dog food, and it tasted sour, leaving my mouth full of vinegar.
After graduating from his innate superhuman program, he joined the company and luckily got a good job. He was already much older than Lu Mingfei, but he could only watch him and her running around hand in hand.
"Are they here to see the Old Master, or to browse the market?" Qi Xing couldn't help but complain.
“Following them is fine as long as it’s all just daily chores. But if something really happens, we won’t be able to handle it. Who can stop ‘Little Heavenly Passage Man’? Even twenty of you plus me wouldn’t be enough for him to glance at us. Chairman Zhao arranged for us to follow him specifically to appease the dissatisfaction of others.” A clear voice came from behind Qi Xing as she walked over unhurriedly.
"Shengnan, weren't you resting down the mountain? Why did you come up here?"
If it weren't for her flowing long hair, delicate features, and familiar voice, even Qi Xing wouldn't easily recognize her just by her loose-fitting All-Tong work uniform.
“I want to see the Celestial Master’s Mansion,” Sheng Nan said.
The two people ahead of Qi Xing had already started climbing Longhu Mountain, and his female colleague followed.
Guided by Lu Mingfei, Liu Yanyan walked as if on flat ground. If the two hadn't deliberately stopped for the scenery, they would have already arrived at the Celestial Master's Mansion.
Sheng Nan gradually slowed down and fell behind. Qi Xing reached out his hand to her, "Do you want me to hold your hand?"
“We’re just colleagues, and besides, I don’t like men.” Sheng Nan took a deep breath and quickly walked in front of Qi Xing.
Qi Xing awkwardly withdrew his hand.
......
After several days, Lu Mingfei returned to Longhu Mountain once again.
This time, he went up the mountain with questions in mind, along with several boxes of peach shortbread and some local specialties.
Along the way, he met his senior brothers and uncles who had stayed in the manor.
They cast a blessing glance at Lu Mingfei.
"Did my junior nephew bring Miss Liu up the mountain to pray for blessings?"
"Yes, I hope you will take good care of me in the future."
As he spoke, he handed the local specialties he was carrying to his fellow disciples.
"Don't worry, junior nephew, you can rest assured that this matter is in our hands."
Lu Mingfei watched his uncle, whose name he had forgotten, leave.
He arrived at the old master's door with practiced ease, knocked on the door, and waited quietly.
"Master, I've come to see you."
"Oh, it's Mingfei. Come in."
Lu Mingfei carried several boxes of peach shortbread, pushed open the door, and placed them next to the old master.
Liu Yanyan bowed and said, "Greetings, Master."
"Good, good, good." The old master's gaze fell on the exquisite gift box containing peach shortbread. He had never told this grand-disciple, with whom he had only spent a short time, about his preferences.
It was quite rare for his grand-disciple to bring him his favorite food, even though the grand-disciple didn't have much hope for him.
Zhang Chulan is a suitable candidate for Celestial Master. He has the right temperament, but he lacks cultivation. As long as he is taught the Celestial Master's Degree, everything can be resolved, even the so-called Eight Extraordinary Techniques.
Unfortunately, his heart was set on the girl beside him, the truth behind the Jia Shen Rebellion, and most importantly, he guessed the method of passing on the Celestial Master's teachings.
Zhang Lingyu is also a good candidate. His cultivation level is good, but his temperament is not good. He once blamed and regretted himself for his Yin Five Thunders, and he also felt ashamed of his sect for helping the Quanxing people. He is also stubborn and felt that he had no face to face his fellow disciples, so he stayed away from the Celestial Master's Mansion.
Neither of them ever entered the Celestial Master's Mansion again, but Lu Mingfei appeared out of nowhere without any expectation.
"You wouldn't come here without a reason. What brings you here today?"
The old celestial master continued, "Did you come here for the second half of the Thunder Technique?"
Lu Mingfei shook his head: "Master, you are too kind. I cherish the opportunity to learn the Golden Light Mantra and Thunder Technique of the Zhengyi lineage. I will not do anything that crosses the line. You should pass on the second half to Uncle Lingyu or Chu Lan."
"Uncle Lingyu asked me to pass on a message to you. He said, 'This disciple is unfilial, unable to continue to stay by your side. I hope you will take care of your diet and wish you a long life... May your happiness be as vast as the Eastern Sea and your longevity as enduring as the Southern Mountain.'"
"You mean to say I'll live to be a hundred, right?" The old master mercilessly exposed the clumsy lie. "I'm over a hundred years old, and you still want me to live to be a hundred? Are you hoping I'll go down to the underworld to pay my debts? Lingyu wouldn't say that. You're the one who said it for him, aren't you? He'll only say things like he's let down his sect, disgraced his sect, and will never come back."
Lu Mingfei scratched his head and didn't say anything. As expected of master and disciple, he knew everything he was saying.
The old master took the gift box, opened it, took out a peach shortbread, tasted it, and nodded slightly.
"Lingyu often buys these for me. As a Taoist priest, I don't have much money, so I can only buy a little to satisfy my cravings. I don't have the money of someone like you who works in an official position. You can just buy several boxes directly."
After saying this, the old master kept one box for himself, pushed the remaining four boxes aside, and shouted outside.
"Xiao Yuzi, give these boxes to your uncles to try, and tell them that Lu Mingfei brought them."
A white-haired young Taoist priest walked in, first bowing respectfully, then taking out the remaining four boxes.
"Who are those two people following you outside?" the old master asked.
"A colleague who came with me." Lu Mingfei paused, then continued, "Master, I have a question about the soul. Would you be willing to answer it?"
"Ask away."
"If a person has a strong soul and a weak soul, but the strong soul will kill the weak soul, how can this situation be avoided?" Lu Mingfei stared at the old master with his eyes wide open.
"The weak soul is dominant, right?"
"Ah."
The old master opened the gift box again, took out a peach shortbread, and tasted it.
“I have encountered the situation you described. When one cultivates sexual techniques to the extreme, one’s strength is certainly great, but one’s life and body must be preserved. Neither can be lacking. Otherwise, it is not a method to reach the heavens.”
The old master explained the question raised by Lu Mingfei from his own perspective and gave what he considered to be a suitable answer.
Lu Mingfei listened patiently.
The cultivation of extraordinary individuals is different from the bloodline enhancement of hybrids. One is a normal, gradual process, while the other is unstable and prone to qi deviation at any time.
The solution to Old Tang's other soul problem might be to strip him of the dragon blood, making him an ordinary person, or to let him control the soul of another dragon.
Neither the former nor the latter is an easy task.
The conversation with the old master, which revolved around the cultivation of both body and mind, greatly benefited Liu Yanyan, who was standing beside him. It was as if she had been enlightened and her previously blocked meridians were now flowing smoothly with Qi.
"Come walk with me for a while." The old master got up from the bed and lingered on Liu Yanyan for a while longer.
He could tell that what she had just used was not the method of the Xiangxi corpse-driving lineage that she had shown some time ago, but more like a method of weapon crafting.
Moreover, Lu Mingfei's aura and demeanor were completely different from before.
He didn't point out the changes in the two of them, but instead closed the door and walked towards the mountain path.
Lu Mingfei and Liu Yanyan followed behind.
“You kids are all so busy, you never come to see me, a lonely old man,” the old master said.
"I'm here now. I'll stay for a couple of days and keep you company, Master," Lu Mingfei said with a smile.
His junior brother Tian Jinzhong passed away, and his beloved disciple Zhang Lingyu was expelled from the mountain. Although his junior brother's great revenge was achieved, he could not leave the mountain. Although he had his disciples on the mountain to keep him company, he lacked some fun.
"Haha, sure, tell me about the changes down the mountain, what Lingyu has been up to lately. He's honest and simple, he's never lived down the mountain before," the old master said leisurely.
"He seems to be interpreting characters and telling divinations for people."
"This child." The old master shook his head slightly and sighed softly.
