Changsheng: Peak at the Beginning

Chapter 729 Shaobai 2

As a son of destiny who is not inferior to Xiao Ruofeng, the King of Langya, and Xiao Chuhe, who will be named the King of Yong'an in the future, Zhao Yuzhen is far superior to them except for being slightly inferior in power. Even though his destiny in this life has been deliberately hidden by the Heaven, and even a substitute has been set up to stand in front of him, his qualifications are no worse than Jiang Xinxin's.

All the qualifications that Jiang Xinxin showed were half arranged by heaven, and the other half was entirely due to her own strength. As the master of Jiang Xinxin and Zhao Yuzhen, Lu Suzhen actually had some doubts in his heart.

First of all, Zhao Yuzhen's talent was only slightly inferior to Jiang Xinxin's, the child of destiny. The brother and sister were born from the same mother, which was a very rare situation. Moreover, their birthdays were not much different.

Secondly, Zhao Yuzhen could not go down the mountain unless he was in a trance. On the contrary, Jiang Xinxin had quietly gone down the mountain since she was three years old, and it did not cause any changes.

However, only Lu Suzhen noticed all this. Looking back at Jiang Xinxin's performance, in his eyes, wasn't it also a manifestation of resistance to fate?

Therefore, Lu Suzhen now truly regards Jiang Xinxin as an ordinary disciple, and is much more polite to Zhao Yuzhen.

Perhaps because he saw that destiny could be defied, Lu Suzhen's cultivation had advanced a step further, and now he was only one step away from entering the realm of divine wandering and becoming a land immortal.

Jiang Xinxin was too lazy to care about these things. She was now over eight years old and could go deeper into the mountains. How could she be patient to stay in the Yuxu Palace prepared for her in Wangcheng Mountain all day? Fortunately, she had her cheap master Lu Suzhen to help cover her whereabouts every day, so she didn't have such a big problem with Wangcheng Mountain anymore.

However, Zhao Yuzhen was very clingy to his sister. When they were little, he would make a fuss if she wasn't with him for a moment. Now that he had finally grown a little sensible, he still had a sense of guilt that forced him to do whatever Jiang Xinxin said.

Jiang Xinxin felt it was a sin when she thought that the Snow Moon Sword Immortal Li Hanyi would have a move called Moon Evening Flower Morning, which could be used to gather all the flowers in Snow Moon City.

So Jiang Xinxin secretly asked Zhao Yuzhen to go down the mountain to do farm work since he was five years old, making sure that he understood the hardship of farmers from an early age. After all, the Zhao family was a farming family, and if Zhao Yuzhen hadn't been lucky enough to get some luck, he would probably have just been a farmer's son who always bowed his head to the fields in the future.

Zhao Yuzhen accepted everything arranged by Jiang Xinxin well. When he was eight years old, he not only did farm work skillfully, but he also went up the mountain to chop wood and collect herbs. He also began to learn sewing and mending. His biggest wish was to take over Jiang Xinxin's food, clothing, housing and transportation.

Even though Lu Suzhen favored Jiang Xinxin more, she couldn't help but persuade Zhao Yuzhen when she saw this: "Although the Heavenly Master is not married, you and Yuan Xin are still siblings, but there is no reason for you to do... for Yuan Xin!"

Lu Suzhen swallowed the word "old lady", but Zhao Yuzhen understood it very well. He had no reason to be shy about Lu Suzhen, his master, and said directly: "I don't know why, since I was old enough to understand, I always feel that I owe my sister a lot, as if I can never repay this debt in my lifetime. Now I am just concerned about my sister's food, clothing, housing and transportation, how can it be excessive?"

Lu Suzhen became more and more certain that Zhao Yuzhen was the one who was truly destined to inherit the martial and Taoist fortunes of Wangcheng Mountain. She felt more and more guilty towards Jiang Xinxin and made up her mind to hand over Wangcheng Mountain to Jiang Xinxin.

Jiang Xinxin, who had already climbed up the snow mountain, didn't know that a big trouble was about to hit her, and she didn't know that this trouble was brought to her by Zhao Yuzhen. She was only curious about the snow lotus blooming in the cold before her.

Many martial arts novels mention a magical medicine that can only grow in extremely cold places in the middle ages - Tianshan Snow Lotus. After experiencing so many worlds in the past, Jiang Xinxin had never found anything that matched the description in the book. Unexpectedly, today she found something similar in the snow-capped mountains five hundred miles away from Wangcheng Mountain.

The petals of this flower are slightly long and narrow, with a hint of purple in the snow-white color to distinguish it from the surrounding snow-white; the heart-shaped leaves are half the size of a palm, slightly yellow in color, and surround the flower as if protecting the delicate flower.

When these flowers first poked their heads out from under the snow, they were only the size of a thumb. Gradually, they became the size of an egg. When they were fully open, they were almost the size of two palms.

Jiang Xinxin only felt that when these flowers bloomed, that was when spiritual energy gathered. Although she didn't know the name of this flower, when she saw this scene, the three words "snow lotus" suddenly popped up in her mind. She inexplicably determined that this was the snow lotus described in many novels, which could revive the dead, or cure all kinds of poisons, and increase internal strength for decades.

Jiang Xinxin quickly collected a few flowers that were fully bloomed at hand, dug them out with their roots and placed them in a box made of snow in advance. She dug up a few more that had just emerged and planted them in the space. She ignored the rest, just quietly watched the flowers bloom and fall, picked up two seeds, and hurried down the mountain.

It’s not that there are no spiritual beasts guarding the area, it’s just that she sprinkled some spiritual water on herself and deceived the spiritual beasts.

Jiang Xinxin got the good stuff and there was a lot of stock in the space. After walking so far with great difficulty, she slowly headed back, which made Lu Suzhen and Zhao Yuzhen, who were covering for her on the mountain, very anxious.

Jiang Xinxin's trip did not just bring her a few snow lotuses, her cultivation had already officially entered the Free and Easy Heaven Realm. At less than nine years old, she had reached the Free and Easy Heaven Realm. While Lu Su was really happy, she was secretly worried and had a lot more white hairs.

Seeing this, Jiang Xinxin comforted him and said, "Master, don't worry. Although I am full of resentment, it is only directed at the way of heaven, and will not hurt innocent people."

Lu Suzhen sighed deeply, "Master knows that you will not hurt innocent people, but I feel sorry for you facing the five thousand elite soldiers at such a young age."

Jiang Xinxin smiled and said, "Those 5,000 elite soldiers are not coming for me, but for the entire Taoist sect. Otherwise, why is there no movement from the imperial court when there are so many eminent monks in Buddhism and so many people who have reached the mysterious realm?"

Lu Suzhen also entered Wangcheng Mountain to practice at a very young age. Even though she was old and still a bit shrewd, she believed that what the court was taboo about was the destiny of Wangcheng Mountain or Huanglong Mountain. Otherwise, why would Qi Tianchen represent the entire Huanglong Mountain to enter Tianqi City and become that damn imperial master?

Seeing that Lu Suzhen didn't understand, Jiang Xinxin didn't mind explaining a little more: "Master, you don't think that a Taoist who has read the Taoist scriptures and knows all kinds of magic and formations can only be regarded as an ordinary person in the mountains, right? Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism each have their own classics and learn from each other, but after all, the essence of the three schools' doctrines is that Taoism poses the greatest threat to the court."

Lu Suzhen's mind was in a mess. He had achieved the position of Heavenly Master at a young age, and all his thoughts were based on the identity of Heavenly Master of Taoism. He had never looked at Taoism from other perspectives. Now he asked without shame: "Why do you think Taoism poses the greatest threat to the court?"

Jiang Xinxin reminded Lu Suzhen: "Master, have you noticed the rules of accepting disciples in the Taoist sect?"

Lu Suzhen was speechless for a moment.

The Taoist sect only accepts disciples from all over the Wangcheng Mountain. Those who can become Heavenly Masters are the direct disciples of the Heavenly Masters of previous generations, and these people are the result of the Heavenly Masters selecting the best from the best when they travel around the world.

Even the direct disciples who have not achieved the status of Heavenly Master always have outstanding talents in martial arts or Taoism.

As for those non-direct disciples, they were either from prominent families who just came here to gild their reputations, or they were disciples with average talent in martial arts or Taoism. But even if they were average in his eyes, they were already outstanding if compared to others.

Seeing that Lu Suzhen seemed to have understood something, Jiang Xinxin pointed out directly: "The Taoist sect always chooses those with talent to recruit disciples. Even if they lack talent, they must have some wealth or be born into a powerful family. Although the Taoist sect has never built temples as many as the Buddhist sect to accept believers, Taoism is the only local religion that can be shown off, and it actually has a lot of believers. If we make a call, the consequences will be..."

Lu Suzhen found it hard to accept such words and was in a daze when he left. However, he couldn't tell these words to anyone else, so he successfully made himself sick.
