Capítulo 1307: Chapter 94: Li Guanyi Awakens
The Nine-colored Divine Deer is a true auspicious creature.
Unlike a certain Ancient Red Dragon who refuses to reveal its na, it earned the na of Divine Beast purely through might.
The Nine-colored Divine Deer is not adept at combat, but possesses various other abilities with magical techniques.
Li Guanyi endured the piercing pain in his body, thanked warmly, and lightly laughed:
“Was it you who saved ? Thank you…”
The Nine-colored Divine Deer said: “Not really . On the day you fainted on the battlefield, you were imdiately sent here, with a trace of vitality in your body lingering, undying. The old Siming said it was from the recent lineage of witchcraft descendants hundreds of years ago who refined the Immortality Elixir.”
“This thing has kept you hanging onto life.”
“They call it the Elixir of Immortality. Immortality may be uncertain, but undying, there’s indeed so truth. At that ti, your whole body, even the bones, were about to fracture into shards, yet stubbornly you kept hanging onto life.”
“Stubbornly neither dead nor alive.”
“Judging from your condition, this lineage’s pursuit should start with [undying], then seek [immortality]. As long as one does not die over a thousand, ten thousand years, in the eyes of ordinary people, isn’t that immortality?”
“It’s the Taoist path of [having ans and gradually approaching Wuwei].”
“It actually seems like a legitimate sect.”
“Just looking at this core, even the so-called orthodox Mystical Sect doesn’t have such ans.”
Li Guanyi was shocked.
Hou Zhongyu, the magician he had slain in his youth, the more he traveled the world, the more he understood the weight of this person, understanding that this vast world is full of talented and extraordinary people, and pure martial arts don’t decide everything.
Only now did Li Guanyi realize how substantial Hou Zhongyu was to beco the chief magician of Chen Dingye, the poisonous flood dragon, without the support of a sect, at the re Third Layer Heaven magician level, while also occupying a Forbidden Palace.
Li Guanyi suddenly felt a bit odd.
Could he have unwittingly slain one of the top three Great Mages and alchemists of his era when he first ventured into the world? No, given his accomplishnts, he could rank in the top ten across all ages.
He just perished in the old flas of the Fire Qilin.
Li Guanyi laughed to himself: “Then I really must thank Hou Zhongyu.”
“If soday in Lingyan Pavilion, they might need to erect a statue for Hou Zhongyu too.”
The Nine-colored Divine Deer said: “Just a re magician, as you ntioned.”
Li Guanyi smiled: “The deceased old Hou is the good Hou Zhongyu.”
“Truly a great benefactor!”
The Nine-colored Divine Deer said: “However, that Elixir of Immortality was rely incidental, with your Immortal Body, consuming this pill just ant clinging to life while gradually recovering, but there was more to it.”
“The day you returned.”
“A silver-haired Taoist suddenly appeared, charged right through your army’s encirclent, found you, transferred energy to you, then completely dissolved the Elixir of Immortality and rged it within your body.”
“Only then did your vitality stabilize completely.”
“He said he was just a Naless Taoist.”
“He left a few words for you, saying you had a teacher nad Wang Tong?”
Li Guanyi was stunned, replied: “Yes.”
“What happened to Mr. Wang Tong?!”
The Nine-colored Divine Deer shook its head slightly, looked at the young man with a face showing distress, hesitated, but with a gentle and compassionate expression, directly spoke:
“Years ago, a Taoist said he could extend Wang Tong’s life by three years using magic techniques, but Wang Tong asked this Taoist to find you, saying he’s just a scholar with uselessness, plagued by illness.”
“He called this spring breeze three thousand miles.”
“The extra three years, just to help you through a calamity.”
“The karma between you teacher-student has dispersed in this life.”
“If there is a path in the cycle of life, walk slower, and hearing news of peace under heaven would an no regrets in this life.”
“His grave was buried beneath the big tree at the Academy, and when you eventually stabilize Central Plains, don’t forget to offer a small drink there, fulfilling his wish in any case.”
“He said…”
The Nine-colored Divine Deer paused, looking at the young man, wondering why even with a na of auspiciousness, he felt this young man renowned across the land had a truly bitter fate, losing his parents young and wandering displaced, pursued in all directions as he grew older.
Then a teacher who taught and helped him firm his belief and choose his path.
After teaching him.
Departing one by one.
The Nine-colored Divine Deer said:
“Wang Tong had no ability to establish destiny for people, but he could transform calamity for a disciple. Friendship between gentlen is indifferent as water, no need for sentint.”
“The road under heaven is harsh.”
“Walk on, walk on.”
“Don’t look back.”
Li Guanyi froze.
Suddenly felt a sting in his heart as that quiet teacher who didn’t even tell them about his passing reached out to him for help, and at this mont.
Mr. Wang Tong had already passed over a year ago.
He seed to still see the quiet Confucian Scholar with a lean erect back, stepping gradually away.
The teacher traveled solo.
Li Guanyi softly said: “He is my teacher…”
The Nine-colored Divine Deer nodded: “Although I’ve never t him, hearing his words, he seems to be quite a good young man.” Li Guanyi nodded, feeling his ntal state much more lancholic, he struggled to muster so spirit and said: “I still have to thank the senior for staying by my side during this ti.”
The Nine-colored Divine Deer was stunned: “???”
“, staying by your side all the ti?”
Li Guanyi was also surprised: “Wasn’t it the senior?”
Then, in the Nine-colored Divine Deer’s eyes, he saw a kind smile, as the Nine-colored Divine Deer’s ears twitched, raised its head slightly forward, and said: “I rely gathered Primordial Qi to help you heal, couldn’t have been here all along.”
