Chapter 55: Chapter 57: Just do good deeds, do not inquire about the future Chapter 55: Chapter 57: Just do good deeds, do not inquire about the future Thunder roared, just as Qin Liuxi had ntioned, the autumn rain fell fiercely. The dilapidated temple had no doors, and the outside storm swept in with moisture, bringing a chilling sensation.
Huo Lang and his companions had earlier gathered firewood, which was now set ablaze, quickly engulfing the chill with its heat waves.
“How many years has Doctor Qin been cultivating?” Qi Qian looked towards Qin Liuxi, who was ditating by the side. The firelight shimred on her side profile, blazing red, making it even harder to discern whether the figure was male or female.
“I entered the path of cultivation at the age of five.”
“So early, Doctor Qin, you don’t seem to have reached the age of adulthood yet,” Huo Lang sighed.
Qin Liuxi: “Naturally, I am only fifteen this year.”
There was an astonished murmur.
So young.
“Aside from slaying demons and removing disasters for people, fixing graves, and assessing feng shui, does a cultivator like Doctor Qin also possess unfathomable dical skills?” Qi Qian continued to inquire.
Qin Liuxi looked at him, smiling ambiguously, “Young Master Qi, you ask quite directly.”
“Just purely curious, if it troubles Doctor Qin, consider that I never asked.”
“It’s not sothing that cannot be discussed. As the saying goes, nine out of ten paths lead to dical skills. Cultivators often possess dical skills, it’s just about how proficient they are,” Qin Liuxi said, “Cultivators ultimately seek immortality and longevity; to maintain health, one naturally must know dicine. Only by cultivating one’s spiritual power can one ascend to Heaven.”
Squatting not too far and pretending to be dead, Ying Nan couldn’t help but interject: “In this world, are there really immortals who live forever?”
“No, and if there are, they’re just fooling you, only fools would believe!”
Ying Nan: “???”
That’s not what you were saying earlier!
Qin Liuxi smirked, “Taoists, commonly called charlatans, may deceive you for ten or eight years. Those who really ascend rely close their eyes, leaving behind their physical bodies, with their souls returning to Heaven. In their next life, they naturally gather imnse wealth and blessings due to the rit cultivated in their previous life. Oh, those with heavy cultivation of rit may live much longer than ordinary people.”
Everyone listened, utterly bewildered.
Qin Liuxi continued, “So, never believe in everlasting life, such things do not exist in this world, and everyone will eventually die.”
What a joke, even if there was immortality, she would have to deny it. Otherwise, if it reached the Emperor, wouldn’t they capture her to concoct the Longevity Elixir? Wouldn’t that be jumping into a pit of her own making?
Qin Liuxi added another layer of protection for herself: “The words spoken today are from my mouth to your ears only; take it as it is, but never say that it was I who said it. I will not acknowledge it. Whoever misrepresents, well…”
It was a warning.
Qi Qian glanced at his n, and they hastily responded: “Doctor Qin, rest assured, we will not spread it recklessly.”
“It doesn’t matter if you do, in the end, any misfortune or retribution will be yours,” Qin Liuxi said cheerily.
“Then, Doctor Qin, if not immortality, what about longevity?”
“Longevity, of course, exists. By maintaining health, accumulating yin de, and doing good deeds, you will certainly reap benefits.” Qin Liuxi raised a hand and said, “As the Taoists say, do good deeds without asking about your future, consider that my gift to you all.”
Doing good deeds without questioning the future, the crowd muttered these words, engraving them in their hearts.
Suddenly, a loud crash sounded, as if sothing had collapsed.
“Master, should your subordinate go out and check?” Huo Lang stood up, wanting to investigate.
Qi Qian instinctively looked at Qin Liuxi, seeking her opinion.
Qin Liuxi then said, “No need, the rain is pouring heavily outside, it seems like a landslide. It’s better to check it after the rain stops.”
“Then let’s wait,” Qi Qian plainly deferred to her.
Amid the thunderous booms,
“That jujube tree was struck by lightning!” exclaid a guard facing the broken window, who could see the jujube tree.
