Upon seeing Wang Xiu, the young girl who had just been renad Wang Lianshan imdiately beca sowhat reserved. She stood up and called out, "Master!"
Wang Xiu nodded. "Sit."
The still-unfamiliar master and disciple sat down at the stone table. Yan Ji comfortably sprawled across Wang Xiu's lap, squinting as she enjoyed his right hand stroking her fur.
Wang Xiu got straight to the point, tossing over a jade slip. "This contains so foundational techniques and simple spells from the various branches of our Sanqing Immortal Sect."
Wang Lianshan carefully caught it, not yet having a chance to take a glance.
Wang Xiu then tossed over several more jade slips. "The techniques and thods in here are a bit more advanced. Usually, only cultivators at the Foundation Establishnt Stage can perform them."
"And this one contains divine skills that only cultivators above the Golden Core Stage can use."
"The ones that follow include common thods and techniques used during the Nascent Soul, Soul Travel, and even the Saint Manifestation stages, along with various secret techniques, sinister poisons, and formations... In my years of roaming, almost everything I've seen and heard is recorded here!"
Before long, a small mountain of jade slips had piled up in front of Wang Lianshan.
She said hurriedly, "Master, you're giving so much at once. I'm afraid I won't be able to learn it all!"
Wang Xiu shot her a look. "Who told you to learn them? These are for you to read to broaden your knowledge. They're beneficial, but don't practice them. None of them are particularly strong."
"Ah?" Wang Lianshan's mouth fell open in surprise.
She had just given the contents a quick glance with her divine sense and vaguely noticed that among them were even the thods of Saints, heritage techniques from various branches, and forbidden divine skills. Although she was a complete rookie just stepping into the world of cultivation, she knew that if any one of those items were leaked, it would be enough to cause a bloody storm across the entire cultivation world, leading to countless deaths.
Yet, from the way Wang Xiu spoke, they seed to be nothing more than commonplace items, things to be looked at but not practiced.
Wang Lianshan asked, "Then... what should I learn?"
Wang Xiu raised his hand, his fingers lightly touching the girl's forehead. A stream of pure information instantly flooded into her mind.
"The Qing Emperor's... Longevity Scripture?"
After a long while, the girl opened her eyes, her complexion sowhat pale as she sensed the vast ocean of information in her mind. This single transmission of information seed richer than the contents of all the previous jade slips combined, a truly vast new world.
Wang Xiu said, "Digest this for a while. When you feel you're ready, we'll continue."
The girl asked in astonishnt, "There's more?"
Wang Xiu glanced at her. "We've barely even started."
The complete Qing Emperor's Longevity Scripture was all-encompassing, touching upon the mysteries of the universe, which an ordinary person could hardly finish reading in their entire lifeti. Wang Lianshan's identity was extraordinary, however, and her divine soul was more formidable than that of ordinary cultivators.
Wang Xiu flicked his sleeve and said, "They pass on techniques; I pass on the thod itself. It's different."
Wang Lianshan blinked, struggling to find words for a long mont before finally managing a simple, "Oh."
Wang Xiu continued, "In the future, if there's nothing important, don't casually leave the mountain. Stay here and cultivate your Dao in peace."
Wang Lianshan nodded obediently. "Yes, Master!"
Wang Xiu added, "Until you've achieved initial mastery of the Qing Emperor's Longevity Scripture, try not to tell fortunes for others, no matter how close you are to them. Understand?"
Wang Lianshan paused, asking with uncertainty, "Master... you haven't taught how to tell fortunes, have you? I wouldn't know how even if I wanted to."
Wang Xiu glanced at her. "I don't need to teach you. You're a natural at telling fortunes."
Wang Lianshan was speechless. That sounds a lot like an insult, doesn't it?
Later, Wang Xiu handed her a Space Ring. "Take the things inside. Go back, put them on, and keep them on you at all tis."
Wang Lianshan glanced inside and saw an ice-blue inner armor floating majestically within. It was exquisitely beautiful, emanating a mysterious light. Faintly visible within the glow were flowing streams of light that outlined the shapes of dancing Ice Phoenixes, an incredibly mystical sight. In a corner, several orbs floated silently, each containing treasures—boots, a hairpin, a ring, wrist guards, and more. Each one exuded an incredibly sacred aura.
Wang Lianshan was overjoyed. "Master, all of these... are for ?"
Wang Xiu nodded. "Since you've taken as your master, consider these a welco gift. They aren't worth much, so don't go showing them off."
Wang Lianshan bead, her voice sweet. "Thank you, Master!"
Yan Ji lifted her head and gave Wang Lianshan a complicated look. This girl doesn't actually believe him, does she?
Every single treasure Wang Xiu had produced was a Holy Artifact. Moreover, even among Holy Artifacts, they were all of the absolute highest grade. Even for figures like the Saint Heirs and Saintesses of the Great Immortal Gates, such treasures were exceedingly rare. For instance, Li Xuanqi, as the Saintess of Mount Shu, had built her entire reputation with only two or three Holy Artifacts to her na, a fact that was widely spoken of.
Yet Wang Xiu, with a single gesture, had given her an entire set, covering her from head to toe. It was an incredibly lavish gift. If word got out, countless desperados would likely be willing to risk their lives for a chance to attack her.
These treasures certainly hadn't fallen from the sky. Having cultivated for many years, Wang Xiu had accumulated so wealth, whether through defeating enemies and looting their corpses or scavenging for unclaid treasures.
Of course, his greatest gains ca from the trip to Longhuang Island. Not only did he acquire a vast number of treasures, Holy Artifacts, and even Immortal Artifacts from the Dragon Palace during his exploration, but there was another factor. Because over ninety percent of the elite prodigies who had entered Longhuang Island had perished, their magical treasures were scattered across the island, at risk of being swept away by the chaotic streams of the void and dissipating into nothingness at any mont.
