The Golden Elixir Road

Chapter 40: Tea Talk, Qualification, and Character

"The successor of the Heaven-Devouring Demonic Art hidden in Yaoguang?" Wang Zizai asked?

When Wang Zizai saw the men in black, he thought of a group of notorious beings and deliberately tested them.

The man in black didn't expect that Wang Zizai actually knew his identity. He was so surprised that his eyelids moved slightly. Although the movement was small, it was still noticed by Wang Zizai.

"The imperial weapon is also Yaoguang's black gold tripod with dragon pattern, right?" Wang Zizai asked again.

Unfortunately, the man in black noticed his reaction just now and had already adjusted himself. He just closed his eyes and hoped to die.

Wang Zizai realized that he could not get any more information out of him, so he had to kill him with his halberd and returned to Beidou. Yan Qingci, Yao Xi and Shi Wuwei were still waiting there.

"Master, are you okay?" Seeing Wang Zizai coming back, Yan Qingci asked with concern.

Just now, the three of them could only see an extra sun in the sky and continuous roars. They knew that the emperor's soldiers were fighting back and were afraid that something might happen to Wang Zizai.

"I'm fine. The imperial soldier was afraid of being exposed, so he ran away. The man in black was also killed by me." Wang Zizai said.

"By the way, how's the investigation into the cause of your parents' death going?" Wang Zizai asked.

"Uncle Li told me that my parents were accepted as Yaoguang disciples, but Sister Yao Xi checked the list of Yaoguang disciples and didn't find them. And there are more similar things happening." Yan Qingci said.

"Then we followed Elder Qi Tailai, who was testing the disciples that year, here and were attacked by the imperial soldiers."

After listening to this, Wang Zizai thought for a while and said, "I roughly know what's going on."

Then he said, "Your parents should have indeed been accepted as disciples by Yaoguang, but they are not openly Yaoguang disciples."

"Oh? Could it be that my Yaoguang lineage has another secret inheritance?" Yao Xi asked.

“Indeed, there is, but the core inheritance is the Heaven-Devouring Demon Art and the Immortal Heaven Art.” Wang Zizai said.

"How is this possible? Isn't Hua Yunfei the descendant of the Ruthless Emperor?" Yao Xi couldn't believe it.

"Hua Yunfei is just a discarded pawn. The real successor is Yaoguang." Wang Zizai said.

"Then Master, is it possible that my parents are still alive?" Yan Qingci said.

"It's possible, but the possibility is very small. If your parents didn't agree to join them, they might have been killed by them long ago. Even if they agreed to join them, the casualty rate of those men in black is extremely high. Don't have too high expectations." Wang Zizai said.

"I understand, Master." Yan Qingci said.

"Thank you, Saint, for helping me this time. Now that you are involved in this matter, I'm afraid it's a bit dangerous. You need to be careful in the future." Wang Zizai said to Yao Xi again.

"Thank you for the reminder. I will be careful." Yao Xi said.

"Sister Yao Xi, I didn't expect that you would be in danger because of my matter. Why don't you go to the Immortal Mountain with us?" Yan Qingci said guiltily.

"It doesn't matter. I have the support of the elders behind me." Yao Xi said to Yan Qingci with a smile.

"But today they obviously want to kill us all with the imperial soldiers, and they have no intention of showing mercy to you, sister." Yan Qingci said.

"Don't worry. If it's really too dangerous, I will naturally go to the Immortal Mountain to seek refuge. I hope you won't turn me away then." Yao Xi said with a smile.

"Since the Holy Maiden can come, I will definitely welcome her to the Immortal Mountain." Wang Zizai said with a smile.

After Yao Xi said goodbye and left, Master Wuwei turned into a giant lion and carried Wang Zizai and Yan Qingci to the Immortal Mountain.

"Master, who is the successor of the Heaven Devouring Magic Art in the Yaoguang Holy Land?" Yan Qingci asked. "The Holy Son of Yaoguang!" Wang Zizai said.

"Ah, how could it be him?" Yan Qingci recalled the image of Saint Son Yaoguang surrounded by 108 divine rings, and could never have imagined that it was him.

"Sister Yao Xi is in danger, why didn't you tell her?" Yan Qingci asked worriedly.

"It will be even more dangerous if she finds out." Wang Zizai said, "I'll leave this Saint Yaoguang to you to deal with. Just treat it as a training for you."

“When you can defeat someone of the same realm with your own strength, you will be considered a master,” Wang Zizai said.

"Yes, Master." Yan Qingci said firmly.

“According to calculations, the ancient clans will soon be born, and they have a cause and effect relationship with the Blood Phoenix Mountain. I’ll leave the Phoenix Void Dao to you to deal with in the future.” Wang Zizai said again.

After all, he killed the man's father and turned his body into bricks.

"Who is Huangxu Dao? Master." Yan Qingci asked.

Wang Zizai also took this opportunity to tell Yan Qingci about the ancient tribes and the coming golden age.

After returning to the Immortal Mountain, everything was still the same. A few days later, the Holy Lord of the Ji Family and Ji Ziyue came to visit, bringing a young man with them.

In the peach forest, Wang Zizai poured a cup of tea for the Holy Lord of the Ji Family and Ji Ziyue respectively. The young man stood behind the Holy Lord of the Ji Family, looking at this legendary forbidden area curiously.

"How come Holy Lord has time to come to my Immortal Mountain today?" Wang Zizai said with a smile.

"Today I really have something to ask for your help." said the Holy Leader of the Ji Family.

"What's the matter, please tell me, fellow Taoist?" Wang Zizai didn't say directly whether he would help or not, it depended on what the matter was.

The Holy Lord of the Ji Family pulled the young man behind him and said, "This is a disciple of my generation. He is very well-behaved, but he has no talent for cultivation. So far, he has not even been able to open up the Sea of ​​Bitterness."

"I heard that fellow Taoists don't care about aptitude when practicing, so I shamelessly brought him here to see if fellow Taoists can accept him as your disciple."

"Because he can't open up the Sea of ​​Bitterness, could it be that he has some special physique, such as a holy body? Ye Fan was like that in the beginning." Wang Zizai said.

"We've checked it all. Either he has a special physique, or he simply doesn't have the qualifications to practice." The Holy Lord of the Ji Family smiled bitterly and shook his head.

"Wang Zizai, just accept him. This child works hard but just can't practice. He is also gossiped about by some people in the clan, which makes people feel distressed." Ji Ziyue also helped to speak in good words.

“Zi Yue, it’s not that I don’t want to help, but my practice is more rigorous. Although it doesn’t look at aptitude, it does look at character.” Wang Zizai said.

"Then everyone can practice it?" Ji Ziyue asked puzzledly.

Wang Zizai smiled bitterly and said, "Qualifications are easy to find, but character is hard to determine. Of all the people I've seen, only Qing Ci meets the requirements."

"Why?" Ji Ziyue asked curiously. Logically speaking, one's character can be cultivated. With so many people, one should be able to cultivate a few.

"Let me ask you, what is the purpose of practicing? If you don't have supernatural powers, can you still practice?" Wang Zizai asked.

Then he continued, "The purpose of cultivation is to seek self-transcendence. Not to mention too far, from the ancient times to the present, in our world, there are only three or five people who are truly on the road to becoming immortals."

“Since the birth of the Sea of ​​Realm, only two people have achieved the supreme realm. Including the past and the future, there are only four people who can reach the last step.” Wang Zizai did not dare to say Immortal Emperor and others, but just used the word supreme instead.

The two were silent for a while after hearing this. Although they didn't know what the true path to immortality was, what was the highest, and what was the last step, they could feel the heaviness in Wang Zizai's words.
