Chosen Man
Arriving in Jade City

Looking at Tianba who looked joyful, Feng Zun finally refused and left with Yin Ying.

Tianba was stunned for a moment.

This gentle and agile young lady only came to a realization when she saw the figure of Feng Zun and the others disappear, and she was disappointed and frustrated as she muttered. "Teacher, do they hate us?"

Haoran hurriedly comforted his disciple. "How is it possible? In my opinion, it is possible that the Master still holds a grudge and is somewhat dissatisfied with the misunderstanding between us. What's more, we are strangers who meet by chance, and we are not relatives or friends. It is normal for him to refuse to travel with us."

Tianba snorted and thought for a moment before he said, "So that's how it is. At first I thought that when one started cultivating and focused on finding the Dao path, one would ignore ordinary problems like this, yet I never imagined that the relationship between cultivators would be so complicated."

Haoran could not help but smile bitterly. "It can't be called complicated, It's your first time going down a mountain, so you're still too naive."

He took out a bright red fire peach from his sleeve and handed it to Tianba. "Here, eat something."

Seeing that Tianba was instantly enthusiastic. He picked up the fire peach and started eating it with a big bite. Her gentle and beautiful face was filled with happiness and joy.

He said, "There is nothing in the world better than a fire peach.”

"There's only one left" Haoran said seriously.

"Uhm?"

Haoran smiled, his face filled with love and affection.

His students were extremely talented on the path of cultivation. He was like a little devil that was hard to come by in a thousand years.

In the Tang Empire, no one could compare to him.

In the sect, no one could compare to him in the past 800 years.

However, the only thing Haoran was worried about was Tianba's simple and innocent nature. He was too innocent and had no idea how dangerous this world was. When he left the mountain to travel, he would most likely suffer a loss or even suffer a disaster.

For example, when he decided to enter the competition of the Eternal Lotus in the Long Empire, Haoran was very worried, so he personally accompanied Tianba.

"Teacher, do you think the master of the lady is really very strong?"

Tianba asked.

Haoran thought for a moment and said, "At least what I know, in terms of forging soul power, it is far beyond anyone."

At the end of his speech, his brows furrowed slightly. "Even I didn't feel his presence at the time."

Tianba blinked in wonder. "That's amazing."

"Haha, when we reach the Long Empire, you will know how many powerful characters there are in this world. There must be many characters stronger than the Master of the Miss."

Haoran laughing.

"Is that so? Then Master, let's hurry. I can't wait for the Eternal Lotus Competition.”

Tianba's eyes twinkled in anticipation.

The teacher and student left immediately.

From the rewards of the extremely tempting Eternal Lotus Competition, it made it the largest martial tournament in the entire land.

On the other hand, the Long Empire was destined to become a gathering place for powerful people across the land as this competition took place.

…

Clear skies.

Sibao Village

The little girl, Lao An, woke up. He feels comfortable and full of energy. He got up and walked out the door.

He saw his elder brother, Lao Ping, standing not far from the door. He looked at the doorway with a confused expression.

Lao An looked up and saw a red piece of paper with three words written on it.

"Sister, what did the writing say?"

Lao An asked curiously.

He was young and did not go to school, so he did not know those three words.

“Peace Always Mine.”

Lao Ping muttered, "…"

It was left behind by that god-like master. When I put this piece of calligraphy on the doorway earlier, the more I read it, the more comfortable I feel. It was as if I had gained enlightenment and was filled with energy. "

“Peace Always Mine.”

Lao An read inwardly, and then he seemed to have recovered from his shock, and he said happily, "Sister is called Lao Ping, and I am called Lao An. Together, we are safe and sound. Big Brother God wrote these words to bless us both to be safe and sound."

Lao Ping acknowledged and was very happy.

Not too long later some elders in the village passed through their simple courtyard, and their gazes could not help but be distracted by the red paper and black characters that were stuck high above the door.

"Who wrote this? It makes me feel good!"

Some elders in the village exclaimed in admiration.

Some people agree. Although those words did not seem like much, they gave off a feeling of calm and peace.

"Lao Ping, I'll give you a cow. How about you give me this calligraphy piece?"

The butcher in the village spoke loudly. He slaughtered cattle all year round, and his entire body was filled with a bloody aura, causing his disposition to become much more ruthless.

However, when he saw those words from afar, his heart felt extremely peaceful and calm, and his entire body felt at ease.

“Lord left this for us, we will not sell it!”

Lao An said loudly.

Everyone could not help but laugh, and they clearly regarded Lao An's words as a joke of a little child, and they dispersed in succession in a short period of time.

No matter how good the word was, it could not compare to everyday necessities such as rice, oil, salt or even a cow.

For rural residents like them, daily necessities were the most precious.

…

Within the Chu Kingdom, Jade City.

Jizen River.

Late night.

The rain keeps falling.

A black boat floated on the vast river. The rain fell on the boat and made a rustling sound.

Feng Zun lay casually on the rattan chair with a bottle of wine beside him.

The rain and the river water were quite calm. The faint aroma of wine enveloped the cabin, causing one's mind to feel clean and calm.

"This is the Dao Formation scripture from master, it is enough for you to benefit endlessly in your life."

Feng Zun said casually while enjoying the rainy night.

“Before this, I have explained the depth of the first three moves of the Mountain Turning Formation, Sea Step Formation, and Futian Formation. Now, you must rely on yourself to cultivate the Dao Formation diligently.”

"With your foundation, if you can fully grasp the mysteries of these three moves and refine them to the point where you can control them at will, even if you are a level 5 Formation Master, then, You can still compete with a Formation Grandmaster. You must be able to defeat that cultivator named Haoran."

As soon as he finished speaking, Feng Zun picked up the wine jug on the table, filled the cup for himself, and drank it all at once.

Yin Ying was extremely excited and her hands were trembling.

After leaving the Jade Hill, Feng Zun had guided him in comprehending the Formation Dao Book along the way. Up until now, he had already taught her the secrets of the first three moves.

With Yin Ying's eyesight, she naturally knew how frightening this secret technique was. It was far from what ordinary secret techniques could compare to.

"Thank you Young Master!"

Yin Ying slightly bowed as a thank you.

Feng Zun said, "That's it."

His eyes suddenly narrowed as he looked at the large river in the distance.

An enormous luxurious ship appeared before them, and it was enveloped by a dazzling and bright brilliant light, causing the darkness around it to disappear.

The precious ship was over 30m long, and there were many figures standing on it. They seemed to be having a party, and waves of cheerful laughter could be heard from afar.

Occasionally there were the sounds of lutes, zither, and jade flutes, as if comforting guests at a banquet.

"Master, there are a lot of aura cultivators on that ship!"

Yin Ying exclaimed.

Its main body was the Golden Qilin, and its senses were extremely sensitive. He instantly saw that the aura of many cultivators had gathered on the luxurious ship, and it caused the heaven and earth near the luxurious ship to reveal a bright aura.

"The "precious Ship itself was a Spiritual Artifact. The most powerful aura on that precious ship came from an Immortal cultivator."

How strong was Feng Zun's Spiritual Strength? Naturally, he had already noticed this. In fact, from the aura released by the luxurious ship, he could tell that there was an Immortal cultivator watching the luxurious ship.

“This Chu kingdom is really not simple. As expected he was ranked in the top five among the 100 countries in the Middle Continent.”

Yin Ying sighed.

Feng Zun nodded. The cultivation foundation under the Long Empire was indeed incredible.

Previously, after entering the Chu Kingdom, he had obtained a lot of valuable information.

There were a total of 13 cultivation organizations in the Chu Imperial Region!

Moreover, these factions more or less had an Immortal Ancestor guarding them!

After all, apart from the Zhou Empire, the Han Empire, the strongest cultivators in their respective regions only existed in the Mortal Realm.

Later, when he learned more, Feng Zun learned that on this land, a country that had an Immortal Ancestor who was his protector, it could be called a great country.

A country without Immortal experts could only be considered a small country.

From this, it could be seen how powerful the cultivation factions in the Long Empire were.

"Young Master, there is a strand of divine intent that scanned us earlier."

Yin Ying suddenly whispered.

"Just ignore it."

Feng Zun also sensed the power of divine intent and spoke indifferently.

When the dark-covered ship passed by the brightly lit luxury ship from afar, they saw a figure suddenly standing on the luxurious ship fence and looking from afar.

It was a woman who wore a luxurious robe, had beautiful and fiery red hair, and beautiful eyes that shone like stars.

Yin Ying's eyes flashed coldly. He sensed that the Spiritual Strength that swept over earlier had reappeared and landed on his body.

Clearly, the previous spiritual power came from that beautiful woman.

"Come fellow cultivators, your faces are very unfamiliar, so I guess you guys are not cultivators from our Chu Kingdom. Since we were destined to meet at the Jizen River, would you like to board our ship for a chat?"

The flirtatious woman spoke in a clear soft and hoarse voice.

Yin Ying looked at Feng Zun, who shook his head.

Yin Ying immediately said, "Thank you for the invitation. My master and I still have to hurry, so we won't disturb everyone's mood."

The luxurious-robed beautiful woman smiled and said nothing more, and she silently watched their boat leave in the rain.

“That woman is really weird. Earlier, the way he looked at me was as if he was targeting his prey. I originally thought that he must have some kind of intention when he suddenly invited me, yet I never imagined that he would do nothing in the end.

On the boat, Yin Ying frowned nonstop.

Feng Zun replied nonchalantly, "They should be grateful that they did nothing."

As he said that, the Soul Nurturing Pumpkin beside his waist suddenly shook.
