Cultivating Immortality in Two Realms

Chapter 273 Canghai Sect

On the river dock.

The heavens and earth seemed to change with the rage of the Azure-Eyed Immortal. A golden wind swept through, and the original ships and docks... were gradually reduced to ashes under its influence.

"I can't figure it out..."

Master Qingtong performed another calculation, then futilely lowered his hand, exclaiming, "Damn it! How hateful!"

"laugh!"

A soft laugh suddenly echoed in the void, and a woman in a green dress emerged from the void, her beautiful eyes sparkling as she looked at the Azure-Eyed True Man with a concerned expression: "Senior Brother... are you injured? Didn't you say before that any Dao Foundation that had any contact with Li Lu must be thoroughly investigated, otherwise it wouldn't be proper for a Purple Mansion? How serious is your injury?"

"..."

Master Qingtong closed her eyes, then opened them, her expression now calm and serene: "I am doing this for the sake of our sect's great cause. That Dharma King from the Hidden Treasury just now has an extraordinary background... and may be detrimental to our grand plan. We Purple Mansion True Persons cannot easily deduce his identity from each other. Junior Sister, you are in charge of secular intelligence; do you know anything about this person?"

"Senior brother, do you want revenge? My Sword Pavilion is just a small place, we can't afford to offend those lunatics in the Secret Realm... They really dare to attack Golden Core sects."

The woman in the green dress looked surprised, then said, "As for that person just now... judging from his supernatural powers and the magic treasures in his Purple Mansion... he should be Vajra Power Master under the command of Sangji Dharma King of the Secret White Bone Path! In other words... Senior Brother, you were beaten by a disciple?"

"It's actually Du Zi?"

Master Qingtong's face turned grim again: "Indeed... I have never seen him use any supernatural powers..."

As for chasing him down?

As long as one has the ability to travel through the void, one cannot stop others from running away unless a formation is set up in advance or a Grand Master is summoned!

But that's simply impossible!

Not to mention, they have powerful backers.

Even if you manage to get a Grand Master to kill an ordinary Purple Mansion True Person, you might still get a treasure land or a bad land... Killing a Dao Foundation Establishment cultivator would yield no different results than killing a Dao Foundation Establishment cultivator, and if you accidentally get injured, it would become a joke...

Although Master Qingtong felt that he would soon become a laughing stock...

A dignified True Person of the Purple Mansion was actually injured by Du Zi! It's truly a disgrace.

"intelligence!"

Qing Tong Zhenren calmed down, took the divine sense from the woman in the green dress, and immediately understood: "The White Bone Path has a great karmic connection with the 'Zhao Yan Zhenren' of the Nine Heavens Fire Palace of Northern Zhou. This Vajra Power Master has come eastward, it must be for this matter... Is he currently circling around in Eastern Wu?"

"Its ability to conceal its aura and feign a Dao foundation... it deceived me, which is truly astonishing, but it also harbors numerous evil techniques, too many to mention..."

"Could it be that I took this punch for nothing?"

As he finished speaking, he couldn't hold back any longer, and his eyes even turned a little red.

"In the end, it was Senior Brother who provoked them first... Moreover..." the woman in the green dress said calmly, "Many True Immortals avoid the Secret Realm of Karma like the plague, as if it were a venomous snake. Does Senior Brother intend to deliberately walk into it?"

"Hiss... Never mind."

Master Qingtong sneered, "I'll just wait until the White Bone Sect declines before I settle things with that Vajra Power Master..."

……

"Cool!"

After slapping that shameless Purple Mansion True Person, Fang Qing quickly traveled through the void and headed towards the Canghai Sect.

"Since you've stopped me from becoming a minor cultivator at the Foundation Establishment stage, don't blame me for using my main account to slap you in the face..."

"Never mind, since I'll definitely need to use the Duzi account when visiting the Canghai Sect anyway, otherwise how will I trade for the Purple Mansion cultivation technique?"

Fang Qing traveled through the void for a while longer before seeing a bright light ahead.

A stream of water flowed around the void, forming a Purple Mansion formation, and then arrived in the mortal world.

This place is located in the southeast of the Wu Kingdom, on the coast.

In front of him was a large formation, like a giant dragon, constantly attracting the light of the Zhen River from the outer sea to converge and form rolling waves.

"What a magnificent Zhenshui Formation!"

Fang Qing sighed in admiration, but did not transform the "Positioning in the Wind" supernatural power. Instead, he used the Dao-Born Pearl to borrow the position of the child and empower the "White Bone Contemplation," transforming it into a wondrous power.

A gentle breeze stirred, slowly activating the vast Purple Mansion Array.

Where the wind passes, the waves surge even more violently, creating an image reminiscent of the interplay of feng shui and natural forces...

"Indeed... water's virtue favors the wind."

"Back then, when the [Xunfeng] position was divided up, it must have been because the True Lords of Water Virtue intervened..."

Fang Qing nodded to himself, and then a flash of light appeared, the waves parted, and a Purple Mansion True Person was revealed.

His entire body radiated the light of the Zhenshui, which transformed into a circle of divine light protecting him. His aura was profound and unfathomable, and his eyes were a deep blue, like the most beautiful sapphires. He was indeed a Zhenshui True Person.

"This... fellow Daoist? I am from Leshan, may I ask..."

The real person from Leshan is somewhat eccentric.

Judging from this person's aura, he doesn't seem to be from an ordinary Purple Mansion...

"This humble monk's Vajra power comes from the secret realm..."

Fang Qing clasped his hands together. The short hair of the Wu Kingdom monks and the short hair of the secret monks looked quite similar, so he no longer needed to pretend.

"So it was the Vajra Power Stone..."

Master Leshan was even more puzzled. Their Canghai Sect and the Secret Treasury had always kept to themselves, so why was this monk coming to their door?

Of course, there was also a bit of fear in my heart.

After all, although the Canghai Sect is known as a Golden Core Sect, its Golden Core True Monarch has not responded for many years.

And the tyranny of Tantric practitioners... those who know, know!

"This humble monk has come to pay homage to the mountain, specifically to seek a predestined connection..."

Fang Qing clasped his hands together and said sincerely.

"In that case, please!"

Master Leshan invited Fang Qing into the Canghai Sect, where they arrived at a mountaintop courtyard.

In the courtyard, a Taoist priest in a green robe was brewing tea. He was as sturdy as a cypress tree and exuded an air of leisure and freedom.

"Let me introduce..."

Master Leshan said to Fang Qing, "This is Master Sanmu of the Chuli Sect..."

He then said to the carefree and unassuming Sanmu Zhenren, "This is Vajra Power Child, from the Secret Treasury Domain..."

"So it was the Vajra Power Stone..."

Master Sanmu laughed and said, "I just heard from the grass and trees that you fought with Master Xu Qing of the Wuyue Sword Pavilion and injured him... You are truly powerful."

"Um?"

Fang Qing looked at Sanmu Zhenren with curiosity: "This matter just happened recently. Your supernatural powers are truly extraordinary... I wonder about this Chuli Sect?"

"It's just a Purple Mansion sect within the Wu Kingdom..."

Master Sanmu waved his hand and said, "It's nothing to mention... It's based on the idea that 'the worthless oak tree, though useless, is fortunate enough to survive,' and is passed down through the [Fighting Wood] tradition..."

The "Fighting Wood" is also known as the "Bridge Sinking Wood." As for its supernatural powers, Fang Qing really didn't know much about it.

"Hehe... A piece of loose wood will sink if used as a boat, rot quickly if used as a coffin, be destroyed quickly if used as a vessel, become soggy if used as a door, and be eaten by insects if used as a pillar. It is useless wood, and can be of no use at all. That is why it can live so long."

Master Sanmu chuckled, his tone seemingly carrying a hint of goodwill and advice: "Our sect's motto is to be a useless cultivator, thus preserving one's immortality..."

"Haha... Your Chuli Sect's Xiumu De has never shown his power. Over the years, you've been bullied terribly by those sword cultivators from the Wuyue Sword Pavilion. It's a rare treat to see Vajra Power Zi unleash his full might, so you must be feeling extremely pleased..."

Master Leshan laughed heartily, then looked at Fang Qing: "I wonder what Dharma you seek, Master?"

"Fellow Daoist, you may not know this, but when I, a esoteric monk, crossed the sea to the East, I had a connection with the Bai family of Dongshui... Therefore, I brought their entire family into the esoteric treasury to jointly cultivate the Great Way of Ultimate Bliss."

Fang Qing thought for a moment before speaking, "Many members of the Bai family cultivate the [Ji Shui] style, and I obtained a copy of the 'Whale Swallowing the Vast Ocean Technique' from the Pi family of ancient Shu. It is a [Zhen Shui] Purple Mansion cultivation method, but unfortunately, it only contains the foundational part... That young man from the Bai family is quite favored by the Dharma King. I have come here to request the [Ji Shui] Purple Mansion cultivation method, or the [Zhen Shui] Purple Mansion continuation, so that the Bai family can continue their karmic connection..."

"The 'Whale Swallowing the Ocean Technique' establishes the foundation for cultivation at the 'Abyss' level, requiring the absorption of the 'Long Whale Bright Moon Qi'..."

Master Leshan said, "Indeed, it is a cultivation technique that our disciples spread back then, in order to widely disseminate our lineage and attract talented cultivators to join our sect... This [Ji Shui] Purple Mansion cultivation technique, our sect has two versions: 'Jiu Gan Lin' and 'Wei Lin Feng'... As for the [Zhen Shui] cultivation technique? That is the essence of our sect's lineage..."

A hint of embarrassment appeared on his face, but he did not explicitly refuse.

"Does Ji Shui only have two Purple Mansion Techniques? Or do I have both?"

Fang Qing felt a chill in his heart.

According to his cultivation of the [Ji Water] Dao, [Ji Water] in its birth is "long-lasting sweet rain", in its storage is "position facing the wind", and in its concealment is "hidden forest side"... Finally, he should cultivate the Purple Mansion Divine Power, which represents the "illusion of water", in order to perfect the four divine powers.

But unexpectedly, even this supernatural power couldn't be found...

As for the [Zhenshui] technique, the Canghai Sect has produced a [Zhenshui] Grand Master based on it, so it should indeed be a lineage that would not be easily traded.

Fang Qing thought for a moment, then took out several pure white stones: "I am willing to use this Purple Mansion's spiritual resources to offset this request... for a sequel to the 'Whale Swallowing the Vast Ocean Technique'..."

These were naturally the sacred objects from the Purple Palace that Sangji Rinpoche offered during their last meeting.

Although its value is relatively ordinary, it should be enough to exchange for a Purple Mansion Cultivation Technique.

"Fine, let it be then."

After pondering for a while, Master Leshan finally agreed and ordered someone to go down and retrieve the Purple Mansion chapter of the "Whale Swallowing the Vast Ocean Technique".

"Du Zi's wish has been fulfilled; this is truly a great act of kindness..."

Beside him, Master Sanmu smiled slightly: "Please have some tea..."

"Hmm... the Canghai Sect seems to have some goodwill towards me. Could it be that I was also oppressed by the Wuyue Sword Pavilion before?"

Fang Qing's heart stirred, and he began to discuss some water-related practices.

His cultivation was so high that it surpassed that of ordinary Purple Mansion True Persons. True Person Leshan's eyes lit up slightly after hearing just a few words.

Later on, even Master Sanmu couldn't resist and actively participated...

"Those associated with the virtue of water are the constellations Ji, Shen, Zhen, and Bi..."

"【Wall Water】is skilled in nurturing, thus possessing the virtue of Heaven giving birth to water, and once held the true nature of water..." Master Leshan said leisurely.

Upon hearing this, Fang Qing was startled: "Why is it that when I try to comprehend it, the correct positions are blurred between [Wall Water] and [Chariot Water]?"

"Du Zi's attainments in the virtue of water are quite remarkable..."

Master Leshan was somewhat surprised, then smiled and said, "This matter involves the change of the proper position of the Water Virtue... [Bi Water] once occupied the proper position of the Water Virtue, but was later dethroned by [Zhen Water]. The sect's internal history refers to this as 'Zhen Water Dethroning Bi Water'..."
