STAYING ALIVE CAUTIOUSLY IN THE CELESTIAL REALM AND BECOMING THE STRONGEST

Chapter 820: Chapter 820: Mind Your Own Business

After Zhu Fengchun left, Jiyun sat quietly on the cloud couch for a long time, his expression fluctuating uncertainly.

Then, suddenly rising, he left the room and traversed through the labyrinth-like corridors of Green Cloud Palace, finally arriving in a secluded and charming courtyard.

In the courtyard, there was a thick osmanthus tree under which a white-haired elder in hemp clothing was sitting cross-legged.

This elder had his eyes tightly closed, his left face full of wrinkles and his skin dark yellow with age spots.

But the skin on his right face was rosy and tight, radiating the brilliance of life.

It was extremely peculiar.

“Disciple Jiyun…”

Jiyun respectfully bowed deeply and said, “Greetings, Great-Uncle Master!”

This hemp-clothed elder was not only Jiyun’s senior but also a Cultivator at the Entry Tao, whose spiritual practice was among the foremost in the entire Green Cloud Alliance, with unfathomable strength.

Usually, he secluded himself within the Green Cloud Palace for cultivation, not involving himself in the affairs of the Green Cloud Alliance, existing like a carefree crane.

His status was extraordinarily transcendent.

Unless absolutely necessary, Jiyun would not wish to disturb this great-uncle master.

“Hmm?”

The hemp-clothed elder slowly opened his eyes.

One eye of the old cultivator was cloudy and chaotic, while the other was clear and spirited.

He looked at Jiyun, who knelt before him, and asked, “So it’s Jiyun, what brings you here?”

“Great-Uncle Master!”

Jiyun immediately recounted the whole situation in detail.

He didn’t embellish or downplay anything, including his own covetousness for the Transformative Fiery Beast and the unsavory methods he had used, without any concealment.

Because Jiyun was very clear that if he was even slightly insincere, he wouldn’t be able to escape the discerning eyes of this old ancestor.

Not to mention getting help from him—if he avoided a “lesson,” he would consider himself lucky!

He had once been punished by this great-uncle master in his childhood, and even now, thinking about it, his buttocks still ached faintly.

The hemp-clothed elder listened patiently to Jiyun’s words and then showed a smile that was not quite a smile, “You, still the same as when you were a child, even bad things you can’t do right.”

Jiyun’s face turned beet-red, at a loss for words.

This cultivator had been stuck at the Transcendent tier for a very long time, although he had already reached the peak levels, he was still unable to take the final step, turning it almost into a demon of the heart over days and months.

Cultivators at the Entry Tao not only elevated their power but also significantly extended their lifespan. Jiyun wasn’t keen on becoming a pile of bones after a hundred years, so he racked his brains searching for a breakthrough.

Under such circumstances, a Transformative Fiery Beast suddenly entered his view—how could he remain unmoved?

Jiyun felt this was his chance for the Entry Tao.

But to avoid criticism, he didn’t directly confront Wang Chen but instead laid out schemes in the dark.

However, the plan had barely begun when it was met with a strong counterattack, resulting in his Taoist Foundation being damaged.

It took Jiyun a year just to partially recover.

But this did not quell his thoughts; instead, they grew even more rampant.

Because only by stripping the Transformative Fiery Beast of its Qi-Blood essence could he fully restore his foundation and retain the possibility of reaching the Entry Tao.

Additionally, Jiyun also sought revenge against Wang Chen!

Thus, whether Zhu Fengchun came looking for him or not, Jiyun had to settle the score with Wang Chen.

But he was also aware that in his current condition, facing Wang Chen again would mean not just disgracing himself again, but possibly losing his life.

His only option was to use his last ace.

That is, the old ancestor before him.

As for whether the hemp-clothed elder would help him, Jiyun had no certainty, he could only kneel honestly on the ground and take the reprimand.

“I’m old.”

The hemp-clad elder sighed and said, “The Great Supreme Realm is destined to be unattainable, and my lifespan is running out, so don’t expect me to take action against that young man.”

“Disciple dares not!”

Jiyun knelt in fear, “Immortal Uncle, please pretend I never came.”

The hemp-clad elder shook his head and took out an ancient bronze bell from his robe, placing it in front of Jiyun, “For the sake of your late master, I will help you one last time.”

“This is The Bell of Ten Thousand Beasts, obtained from Lord Yao’s Treasure, capable of commanding fierce beasts below the eighth tier. It should still be useful one or two more times.”

“I will teach you the Dharma Technique for ritual refinement, how to use it is up to you.”

Jiyun was overjoyed, repeatedly kowtowing, “Thank you, Immortal Uncle, a thousand thanks, Immortal Uncle!”

“No need to kowtow anymore.”

The hemp-clad elder waved his hand, “Take The Bell of Ten Thousand Beasts, and our fate is fulfilled. Do not come looking for me again, and I will not see you either. Take care of yourself!”

Jiyun held The Bell of Ten Thousand Beasts with both hands.

Stunned.

By the time he regained his senses, he found himself already outside the courtyard.

The front gate was firmly shut!

Though he had obtained a supreme magical treasure, Jiyun’s heart felt empty, as if he had lost the most precious thing.

He knew very well that his current status was greatly attributed to this Immortal Uncle.

Without this connection, his position in the Green Cloud Alliance would definitely be unstable.

But it was too late for regrets now!

Jiyun clenched The Bell of Ten Thousand Beasts tightly, his expression turning fierce and venomous.

For the moment, there was only one path left for him to tread!

“Wang Chen!”

The name Wang Chen squeezed through the cultivator’s teeth, filled with deep-seated grievance and hostility.

Simultaneously, far away at White Deer Academy, some twenty to thirty li away, Wang Chen, who was supervising students’ daily cultivation, felt something and glanced towards Taiwu City.

Taiwu City was the largest city in the Mist Mountain Realm, with no fog covering miles around the city, thanks to its unique geographical location.

Due to the fact that most areas outside the city had been developed for many years, owned by the major powers of the city, the Mo Family had spent a great deal of effort to purchase this land for Wang Chen.

They had built a medicine manor and an academy.

Though the Mercy World Hall still existed in the city, ordinary people in and around Taiwu City seeking medical care mostly came here to the medicine manor.

Not only did they come for treatment, but they also sent their children here, hoping they could enter White Deer Academy to change their impoverished fates!

There were many private schools and martial pavilions in Taiwu City, but none could compare to White Deer Academy in two aspects: the academy charged no tuition fees and provided two meals a day for free.

These benefits alone were enough to make countless people desperately vie for entry.

Not to mention that the academy was managed by an Immortal Master!

But Wang Chen did not accept just any student; the academy’s disciples could be illiterate, but not corrupt; they might be physically weak, but they had to understand the value of hard work and diligence.

Those who liked to cut corners had no place here.

After a year, the number of disciples at White Deer Academy had already exceeded three thousand!

And they and their parents, just like the countless patients treated by the Mercy World Medicine Manor, brought continual streams of meritorial spiritual light to Wang Chen!
