Chapter 278 Tu Xingsun
Deng Chanyu let out a long sigh and muttered to herself:
"This black wind is indeed troublesome."
"But it's worth it to get that fire lotus."
Having said that, Deng Chanyu didn't linger and went straight into the Black Wind Monster's cave.
Upon closer inspection, one could see a fire lotus growing deep within the cave, exuding a rich aura and profound Daoist charm.
Originally, Deng Chanyu was just practicing asceticism in these mountains.
He dreamed of becoming an immortal as soon as possible and entering the celestial realm.
While cultivating, she accidentally discovered this cave in the mountains. Upon entering and exploring the cave, she found this fire lotus.
Who would have thought that just as he was about to pick the fire lotus, a transformed demon sprang out from the depths of the cave.
The man and the bear immediately began fighting without saying a word.
What made Deng Chanyu feel fortunate was...
Fortunately, I had Chen Changsheng's improved Thunder Blade Technique, which allowed me to kill the Black Wind Monster.
After a moment's thought, Deng Chanyu picked and collected the fire lotus.
"I wonder where Master is now?"
"If I think about it, it's been several years since I've seen him."
Thinking of Chen Changsheng filled Deng Chanyu with longing, and she naturally hoped to reunite with him as soon as possible.
After all, she has now met the requirements that Chen Changsheng had agreed to, and has advanced to the peak of the mortal realm, the level of refining the void and merging with the Dao!
"If Master knew I had broken through, he would surely be happy for me, wouldn't he?"
"Now, I can be considered his formal disciple."
Then, she composed herself and walked out of the cave. Just as she was about to leave, a strange change occurred.
"boom!"
Suddenly, the ground not far from the cave entrance began to undulate strangely, like ripples on water.
"Um?"
"What's going on?"
Upon seeing this, Deng Chanyu frowned and took two steps back with a wary expression, tightening her grip on the gleaming broadsword in her hand.
Before long, a figure suddenly emerged from the writhing ground.
This man was a short man, no more than four feet tall, with an ashen face, plain appearance, and even... somewhat rat-like eyes.
He was wearing an earth-yellow Taoist robe, with several bulging leather pouches hanging from his waist.
Upon seeing this person, Deng Chanyu's brows furrowed even more deeply.
Upon closer inspection, she was taken aback.
The creature before them was unremarkable in appearance, but the aura emanating from it far surpassed that of the mortal realm, reaching the level of a true immortal in the celestial realm.
"An immortal?"
Deng Chanyu was secretly startled. After taking a deep breath, she quickly bowed to the short immortal and said:
"This junior human cultivator, Deng Chanyu, has come here to slay the monstrous beasts. I was unaware of your arrival, Immortal Master, and I apologize for failing to greet you properly. I hope you will forgive me."
Although she couldn't determine the dwarf's exact cultivation level, Deng Chanyu knew that his cultivation had already reached the Immortal Realm, far surpassing her own Refining Void and Harmonizing Dao Realm.
The dwarf didn't rush to answer Deng Chanyu's question; instead, he stared intently at her.
"Um?"
Being stared at like that, Deng Chanyu was stunned. She felt uncomfortable all over, as if countless tentacles were scratching at her.
Just as Deng Chanyu was feeling quite uncomfortable, the eyes of the short creature that was staring at Deng Chanyu lit up.
"What a beauty!"
"Moreover, it actually contains extremely powerful luck."
The short creature sighed inwardly. With his cultivation level, he could tell that Deng Chanyu was enveloped in a powerful aura of fortune.
In addition, Deng Chanyu was also exceptionally beautiful, with a spirited air about her.
"I never expected to encounter such good fortune while out here!"
"Wouldn't it be wonderful to become her Daoist partner?"
Upon thinking of this, an evil thought arose uncontrollably in the mind of the short creature, and the corners of its mouth involuntarily lifted slightly, revealing a lewd smile.
"this?"
Seeing the diminutive creature's expression, Deng Chanyu's heart tightened, and she became somewhat flustered and at a loss, even her breathing quickened at this moment.
"My esteemed immortal, if there's nothing else, I'll take my leave now!"
After a slight pause, Deng Chanyu feigned composure and bowed to the short creature before quickly walking away in one direction.
Little did she know, she had only turned around and taken a few steps when the short creature suddenly appeared and blocked Deng Chanyu's path.
"what?"
Upon seeing this, Deng Chanyu exclaimed in surprise, staring blankly at the small creature:
"Immortal, what...what do you mean by this?"
Upon hearing Deng Chanyu's question, the short creature finally spoke:
"A human woman."
"I am Tu Xingsun, the eldest disciple of Ju Liusun, one of the Twelve Immortals of Jade Void under the tutelage of Yuanshi Tianzun of the Chan Sect."
"It's truly a blessing that I met you while I was away on business."
After saying this, Tu Xingsun's smile widened even more.
"The Chan School?"
"Disciples of the Twelve Immortals?"
Deng Chanyu was shocked when she heard what Tu Xingsun said.
She was naturally familiar with the Chan Sect, which, like the Human Sect and the Jie Sect, was a sect of sages.
Within the Chan Sect, the reputation of the Twelve Immortals is even more widespread.
To Deng Chanyu's surprise, the seemingly unremarkable short creature in front of her was actually a disciple of Ju Liusun, one of the Twelve Immortals.
Seeing Deng Chanyu's shock, Tu Xingsun raised his head, his face full of smugness.
In his view, once he revealed his identity and background, wouldn't this human woman in front of him obediently submit?
After all, this is a family of saints!
At this moment, Deng Chanyu had calmed down.
Although Tu Xingsun's identity and background were extraordinary, she didn't care too much.
It should be noted that his master, Chen Changsheng, was also a disciple of the Sage Sect and a direct disciple of Zhao Gongming, the senior disciple of the outer sect of the Jie Sect.
After a slight pause, Deng Chanyu bowed respectfully to Tu Xingsun, speaking with neither servility nor arrogance:
"So you are a venerable immortal from the Chan Sect! This junior has been disrespectful!"
Upon hearing this, Tu Xingsun smiled faintly and said:
"I see that you are exceptionally intelligent and have remarkable fortune. There is something I would like to discuss with you."
Deng Chanyu was taken aback, and uttered a soft, hesitant sound:
"What is it?"
Tu Xingsun didn't keep them in suspense and went straight to the point:
"A little human girl."
"I see that you have extraordinary talent and a long-lasting fortune. What's even more remarkable is that we met here, as if we were destined to be together."
"Why don't you come back to the mountain with me, become Daoist partners, and study the Great Dao together? Wouldn't that be a wonderful thing?"
"With my help, it's only a matter of time before you transcend the mortal realm and become an immortal."
"Moreover, you have become my Daoist partner, which can be considered as joining the lineage of the Sages."
What do you think?
Tu Xingsun spoke with great confidence.
In his view, he was of saintly lineage and his cultivation was far superior to Deng Chanyu's.
Making Deng Chanyu his Daoist partner would be an immense opportunity for her, and she would have no reason to refuse.
