Chapter 6

"Old man, scram, don’t bother me." Xunqiu pushed the strange old man away.

The strange old man was even more confused. With his profound cultivation, he did not belong to this space. He had been here for nearly half a year, seeking an excellent disciple to inherit his legacy. He had only met Xunqiu two days ago. Although the young man was dissolute, he was a good seed for cultivation. Moreover... The strange old man glanced at Xunqiu's half-covered chest without leaving a trace, then quickly turned his gaze away.

Straightening up helplessly, Xunqiu pleaded, "Old sir, from the golden aura around you, I can tell you are a hermit sage. Why do you insist on纠缠 a junior like me?"

The strange old man listened intently but showed no sign of giving up. He had risked his life to cross the space to find his destined successor; there was no way he would give up easily.

"What I need now is not cultivation, but women, delicacies, and luxurious living. Do you understand?" Xunqiu explained impatiently, leaving the strange old man, who had already stepped into the realm of immortality, stunned. He frowned, pondering the meaning of these words.

"Why don't you want cultivation? Don't you want to become a swordsman who rides the wind and wields a sword? Don't all the children in this world dream of cultivation day and night?" The old man looked puzzled, staring at the thin young man, beginning to doubt his worldview over the years.

"That's for most people, not for me. If you give me a gold piece every day, I might consider your proposal." Xunqiu said casually, thinking that with such a clear explanation, the strange old man would no longer bother him.

"Hmm? Gold?!" The strange old man snorted in surprise, then carefully examined Xunqiu again. He reached into his robe and said casually, "I do have gold."

Hearing that the strange old man had gold, Xunqiu's eyes lit up. He leaned forward, but then his whole body trembled, staring at the old man's palm, unable to look away.

"Swallow!" Xunqiu's throat moved up and down, his eyes wide open. Goodness! The gold piece was as big as a fist!

"Kid."

Seeing Xunqiu's greedy look, the strange old man suddenly understood and smiled knowingly. "How about it, is it heavy enough?"

Xunqiu nodded woodenly. As the only son of the Duke of Wei, he had seen plenty of gold and jewels, but he had never seen such a large gold ingot.

"Would you like to have such a large gold piece every day in the future? Next time you go to the casino or the brothel, you can slam it on the table. How impressive would that be!"

As he spoke, the 'patiently guiding' strange old man's eyes twinkled with a hint of malice, and he waved the gold ingot in front of the young man. He had finally found the young man's weakness.

For Xunqiu, who had been kicked out of his home, money was desperately needed to continue his decadent life. Imagining the happy scene the strange old man had described for him, he became impatient.

Reaching out to grab the gold ingot, the strange old man raised his hand and dodged Xunqiu, a slight smile forming on his lips. "Buddha says everything is cause and effect. Our destined meeting cannot be avoided." He looked at the young man and extended his left arm, palm flat.

Xunqiu couldn't help but look over. A palm-sized golden seal appeared in the old man's palm, its surface shimmering with a faint golden glow, like waves of light. Upon closer inspection, it seemed to be enclosed in a transparent film, with the light inside rippling like flowing water.

Seeing Xunqiu stunned by the golden seal, the strange old man said calmly, "If you accept this golden seal, I will cover all your expenses for eating, drinking, whoring, and gambling in the future."

Xunqiu stared at the golden seal without answering, his eyes somewhat dazed. After the golden seal appeared, a mysterious vibration came from his chest, as if he had encountered something closely related to him, making him unable to look away.

"Alright, I agree."

Xunqiu extended his hand woodenly, slowly reaching towards the golden seal, his voice hoarse, his stiff movements like those of a different person.

The scene was somewhat eerie. Under the pale moonlight on the rocky hill, the shimmering golden seal lay quietly in the young man's hand, casting a faint golden glow on his thin face. Xunqiu, whose mind was blank, felt extremely warm all over. The strange old man, dressed in tattered robes, looked at the dazed young man and smiled in satisfaction.

"Ha ha, truly laughable. The ninth-generation master of the Great Jin Chan Temple, after several hundred years, returns to his homeland and ends up resorting to deceiving a child..."

Suddenly, the rocky hill was filled with the chirping of birds, and a very melodious voice seemed to penetrate time and space. Although the tone was not friendly, the light and graceful voice was as beautiful as a clear and melodious song.

A beautiful lotus flower descended from the sky, lightly jumping and stopping about a丈 away from the grave. The charming voice, like a gentle spring breeze, came from this lotus flower, which seemed to be carved from jade. Xunqiu, who had already been dazed, looked in the direction of the voice and cried out in surprise.

A green light spot appeared above the lotus flower, rotating and forming a green vortex. As the vortex expanded, it emitted a faint glow, as if it could connect to another world.

On the wild rocky hill, encountering a strange old man at midnight, and a jade lotus flower descending from the sky, everything was too unfamiliar and sudden. The usually timid Xunqiu let out a low cry, and his palms were already drenched in cold sweat. As he was stunned, the green vortex had expanded to the size of a door, and a delicate jade foot seemed to step out from another space.

Xunqiu, who had seen many beautiful faces in the pleasure quarters, was stunned. How delicate was this jade foot, with skin as smooth as snow, carved from jade, and a white complexion that shone with a lustrous glow, more alluring than the beautiful faces of the courtesans. Just the small part of the body that was revealed was enough to make one imagine countless possibilities.

The strange old man's expression changed slightly, and he sighed helplessly, looking at the green vortex. "It seems I underestimated you. You managed to catch up so quickly."

"That's only because you're stupid. If I hadn't sensed the vibration of the golden seal, I wouldn't have found you so quickly." The melodious voice, like celestial music, carried a hint of laziness. In the sky behind the green vortex, a delicate figure had appeared. The strange old man stared at the gradually clear figure, his eyes narrowing, and he suddenly disappeared from his spot.

In an instant, a golden light flashed beside Xunqiu. Before he could blink, he felt his hand loosen, and the golden seal in his palm was snatched away by the strange old man. The old man's wrinkled face quickly enlarged in front of him, and with a loud bang, the strange golden seal was pressed into Xunqiu's head!

"Ha ha, even if you want to drag someone to their death, you don't need to be so hasty." A silver bell-like voice sounded, and Xunqiu, who was still seeing stars, turned his face to see that a figure had appeared on the lotus flower.

"Swallow!" An exaggerated swallowing sound came from Xunqiu's throat. Over the years, he had seen many beautiful faces, but now, his reaction was far from ordinary.

A moon-white figure stood casually on the lotus flower, her bare feet more delicate than a baby's skin. She seemed to have stepped out of the air, and the night breeze gently blew her white dress, making her look like a pure and elegant snow lotus, spotless and flawless.

Xunqiu looked at the woman in front of him, stunned. In her early twenties, she had a graceful and ethereal beauty, a face that could shock the world. Her cold beauty was like snow on distant mountains, and her purity was like the silver hook in the night sky. Whether it was her incomparably beautiful appearance or her perfectly proportioned figure, she seemed to be from a world that could not be perfect.

Who is she? Xunqiu's mind was filled with questions. Looking at the incomparably beautiful and enchanting woman, he could not even think of a single evil thought.

"Is there really such a beautiful person in the world?!"
