Chapter 262 - 249: Preaching and Calculating (Two in One, Please Subscribe)
in an ancient courtyard suffused with the fragrance of books, wisps of tea mist rose, making the entire courtyard seem even more detached from the mortal world.
the zi xuan hermit, clad in a purple robe, sat in a taishi chair, holding a teacup and gently sipping from it.
his expression was rather relaxed, without a trace of furrowing brows.
he then looked towards the front of the hall, where a group of disciples stood, offering their salutations.
surprisingly, he nodded in response.
the record-keeping disciples seemed somewhat surprised, but those direct disciples all had a usual demeanor.
following that, the zi xuan hermit waved his hand, and a meditation cushion appeared and settled behind the group.
a few direct disciples familiarly sat down, while the record-keeping disciples also settled into a meditative posture at the indication of the zi xuan hermit.
"today, since you have all gathered, it is rare for your teacher to speak at length with you about the purple mansion..." the zi xuan hermit moistened his throat and began to speak deliberately.
at this moment, his words were like the sound of the great dao, unhurried yet crucial, shaking one’s very soul.
the content bestowed was naturally the process of foundation establishment cultivators breaking through to the purple mansion.
lin shiming and lin xianzhi were initially shocked, but then they listened very attentively.
although the rightful ancestor of the lin family was a purple mansion cultivator, he had established the family after leaving the sect, and neither lin xianzhi nor lin shiming had ever met this ancestor.
the lin family also lacked the jade slips containing insights on the breakthrough to the purple mansion.
concerning the purple mansion, they only had superficial knowledge from books, knowing of the state, but not its true form.
immortal cultivation is inherently difficult, and it’s even harder when one lacks knowledge!
at this moment, all eleven were sitting upright with proper decorum.
the zi xuan hermit finally spoke:
"you must have been guessing in your hearts, why i have gathered you before the journey into the secret realm!"
"it has been four hundred and twenty springs and autumns since i started my cultivation journey upon entering the mountains, and a hundred years ago, i became ensnared at the peak of the purple mansion, unable to make any further progress! but which cultivator doesn’t envy the great dao, and who wouldn’t want to become a true person? your teacher is naturally filled with reluctance!"
"i won’t deceive you; this mission requires you to retrieve for your teacher a soul summoning sword, to aid in the perfection of my sword dao and the accomplishment of the golden core path!"
at this point, all the disciples were stunned by the zi xuan hermit’s extremely direct and frank words, but each maintained a composed expression, though their eyes were clearly turbulent.
seeing that the disciples remained silent, with an unchanging expression, the zi xuan hermit looked out of the wooden window with a hint of desolation, then turned his gaze back to his disciples.
"of course, i am aware of the difficulties of this mission. i will bestow upon each of you the strongest sword techniques to enhance your strength!"
"furthermore, whoever manages to bring back the soul summoning sword for your teacher, i promise they will reach the purple mansion, enjoy lifespan elixirs, and benefit from purple mansion elixirs. if it’s a named disciple, i guarantee that their family will become a purple mansion family!"
promise after promise from the zi xuan hermit lighted up the eyes of all the disciples,
especially those like xie an, whose lifespans were nearly exhausted. even with purple mansion jade liquid, the chance of breakthrough was slim, even if they had dragon blood pills.
after all, unless it was a fourth rank dragon blood pill, a common third rank dragon blood pill aiding a qi cultivator to break through foundation establishment was already a defiance of the heavens.
and now, the lifespan elixirs mentioned by the zi xuan hermit were naturally different; they were capable of significantly increasing a cultivator’s lifespan, and only then could someone break through to the purple mansion without worries.
once one broke through to the purple mansion, one would jump to the status of a hermit, enjoying five hundred years of life!
although it’s still not eternal life, it’s a realm that countless immortal cultivators dream of at night.
moreover, once one reaches such a realm, who can say for certain there is no chance to break through the golden core, with the prospect of a thousand years of life within reach!
