The Great Trend: Seeing Dragon in the Field

  Yue Qing said to Xu Fei Niang: "Sister, I know that Master's death had a great impact on you. These years, we have been planning our revenge."

  Xu Fei's daughter said angrily: "I hate that I couldn't kill all the hypocrites of Emei Sect!"

  Yue Qingdao said, "I also want to avenge my master. Wu Yuanzhi and Xu Yuantong have already been killed by me. The Luo Fu Seven Immortals have lost two of their members. As long as we work hard and persevere, there will come a day when our great revenge is finally achieved."

  Xu Fei's wife recalled his previous experience and was somewhat worried for him: "You fought against the four of them alone, it can be said that you were defeated but still honorable." She then turned to Liu Quan and said, "Brother Liu killed Wu Wenqi, a disciple of Canxia Old Nun. No wonder she returned in anger the other day, her eyes were filled with hatred towards me as if she wanted to swallow me alive. I didn't see Wu Wenqi following her either, it turns out he was killed by Brother Liu."

  Liu Quan was also very quick-witted and, hearing her change in address, proved that she had already acknowledged her own identity, so she stood up with the courtesy of a junior fellow disciple to greet him again.

  Xu Fei's wife was also delighted to return the courtesy: "I heard Master Li say many years ago that among his disciples, only you and Chen Yufeng have the highest natural talent, with unlimited potential in the future. I'm thrilled that Master can join the Wutai Sect. I'm so happy that I didn't even prepare a gift for our meeting." She immediately put aside her reverence for the Taiyi Hunyuan Patriarch and resumed her usual elegant demeanor as Wan Miao Xian Gu.

  Liu Quan hastily said: "Being able to enter the Wutai sect and being accepted by Master En is already a great fortune, I dare not ask for more..."

  "How can that be!" Xufei Nang took out a small needle, only an inch long, crystal clear and transparent, held in her hand as if it were nothing, without even a shadow. "This is a small trinket that my sister crafted in her spare time, called the Six Thieves Invisible Needle. If you're not too proud to accept it, then take it, Brother Disciple."

  Yue Qing also said on the side: "The things that your senior brothers and sisters give you, just take them. Your senior sister has been humiliating herself and bearing hardships here for many years to refine these treasures in order to deal with Emei, if you don't take them it would be a waste."

  Liu Quan had no choice but to accept it. He was proud and wanted to give something in return, but the few magical artifacts on him were all gifts from Su Tie, each one of which couldn't be casually given away. Giving a piece of Degree Evading Immortal Robe to Si Tu Ping that day was already an exception, so he had to give up.

  Yue Qing said to the two: "I understand Master's intention, he has already abandoned worldly thoughts and can only ascend to the Heavenly Yuan with great success, flying up to the Immortal Realm as a Golden Immortal. Therefore, the task of revitalizing the Wutai Sect falls on our shoulders. I originally thought that if we want to revive Wutai, we must inherit Master's Dao lineage, so I went all out to find Zhu Hong and retrieve the Mixed Yuan Vice-Volume. Unexpectedly, it was so smooth, and after a few months, even the Upper Volume is in hand. I think today's situation is that Emei is dominant, and will become more and more powerful in the future. They will further pursue and kill us, so what we need to do first is to defend step by step, not letting them get their way, and accumulate strength for a counterattack in the future!"

  "Brother, you're right." Xufei Nang took out the Eight Trigrams and arranged them to form the Qian Gua. In sequence, they were: Hidden Dragon, Do Not Use; Seeing a Dragon in the Field; Great Dryness; or Leaping into the Abyss, Flying Dragon in Heaven, Proud Dragon Has Regrets. Then she continued, "In recent years, I've been calculating the fortunes of the two sects. The Emei Sect is currently in a state of Great Dryness, and after accumulating strength for about ten more years, they will reach the state of Flying Dragon in Heaven. This is a yang line occupying a yang position, the image of the supreme ruler, and their power will be unmatched, dominating the world! As for our Wutai Sect, we have a Mountain Stripping Gua, stripping away even more, our founder died, and the orthodox lineage was lost. We are already in a state of Mountains Heavy with Water, barely surviving. Unexpectedly, when I divined again recently, it also changed to Qian Gua, but only reached the state of Seeing a Dragon in the Field. As long as we endure and wait for Emei to pass the fifth line, starting from Proud Dragon Has Regrets, they will begin to decline." After finishing speaking, she combined the two Guas together, "During the three times Emei dueled with swords, I was already in Heaven, while he had regrets. This is exactly the time for us to avenge our great enmity!"

  Yue Qing had thought for a long time before coming and prepared a large pile of words to persuade Xu Fei Niang, letting her give up her original path of hiding in seclusion, secretly refining treasures, and secretly colluding with the evil demonic sects to make it difficult for Mount Emei. Instead, she would follow him to inherit the Taoist lineage, recruit disciples, and establish a foothold within the Xuanmen School's strategy of uniting and coordinating. Unexpectedly, it was so easy that he didn't even use up all his words, and Xu Fei Niang saw through his plan and mostly acknowledged it.

  He sighed in his heart, Xufei Nang was able to have the nickname "Wan Miao Xiangu", it was indeed a name that lived up to its reputation. These years of pretending to abandon darkness and turn to brightness, under the eyes of Canxia Dashi, playing tricks and using clever tactics, made the two words "Wan Miao" even more vivid and perfect, refined to perfection.

  Yue Qing took out the Tai Yi Wu Yan Luo and the Taoist scripture again: "Sister, this Taoist scripture was written by our master in his own handwriting, and the Tai Yi Wu Yan Luo is even more of his treasured possession. You can carry it with you, take a look at it from time to time, and it will also help alleviate your worries."

  Xu Fei Nang waved her hand to decline: "The traitor was killed by you, and his revenge is also taken by you. Moreover, he passed on the Tongxuan True Classic to you, which means he has chosen you. Now you are the only one in our Wutai Sect who has fully inherited his Taoist tradition, so it's natural for you to take charge of the Taoist scriptures. The Taiyi Five Smoke Net has become a symbol of our sect and is also the best thing you can do." She said very seriously, "Junior brother, please rest assured that whether in public or private, sister wants to thank you. Even if I have to risk my life, I must let you become the leader of Wutai Sect!"

  "Sister! Don't say that, restoring our sect and avenging Master's death are our common wishes. We should unite as one to achieve these two goals, only then can we repay the kindness of Master's upbringing and teachings!"

  Xu Fei Nang said: "If we talk about magical treasures, sister has been bearing the weight and humiliation for many years, and has also refined a lot. If we talk about friends, five lakes and four seas have also made many connections. However, to make the sect prosper, people are the key. In order not to arouse the suspicion of Canxia Old Nun, I haven't accepted a single disciple in so many years. Moreover, it's hard to find good talent, this can't be rushed, we must slowly search."

  "This matter has already been somewhat settled in my mind, let's discuss it with Shifu later. There is one thing that needs to be done by Shidi." Yue Qing asked the two, "Have you ever heard of He Sha Daozhang?"

  Liu Quan was unaware, but Xu Fei's mother knew it all too well: "He Sha Dao Chang is the master uncle of the great Dafang Zhenren Yixu who dominated the world in the past. In those years, his fellow disciples had helped the three old men of Emei Mountain to fight against the old devil of the Western Sea at the Donghai Diaojiao Reef, and he was also a golden immortal who flew up with his physical body, which was even before the time of Chang Mei Zhenren!"

  "Ah!" Liu Quan had never heard of He Sha Daozhang, nor did he know who Yi Xiu was. However, that sentence about ascending to the Golden Immortal realm with his physical body deeply shocked him. "How could I have never heard of such a powerful senior before?"

  Yue Qing said: "The He Sha Dao Sect has always been low-key, only the three evils of Zhongnan in the past had some fame. The Taoist methods they practiced are similar to those of our Chen Poyuan ancestors, entering the two instruments from the five elements, and returning to the primordial infinite realm through the Taiji. Before He Sha Daozhang flew up, he left behind a book called "He Sha Qi Shu", which is made of jade pages and golden chapters, similar to the heavenly secret books. It is now stored in the Snake King Temple in the southwest evil ghost gorge. I have calculated the specific location using the pre-heavenly divine trigrams. You go to the temple, find a piece of jade stone more than two feet wide and four feet long, and bring it back. Inside is the He Sha Qi Shu."

  Xu Fei Nang exclaimed: "If Junior Brother can obtain He Sha Dao Zhang's gong fa, it would be a rare and extraordinary fate!"

  Yue Qing said: "The Tongxuan Zhenjing is too profound and difficult to understand, only people with great wisdom can comprehend it. The Taizhen Zhijie is also incomplete, the latter part that involves flying up has been lost, although Shixiong supplemented it based on the Tongxuan Zhenjing, but it's not the original whole, so everyone encounters a bottleneck when cultivating to the later stage and finds it hard to pass. If we can obtain the Heisha Qishu, it will make up for this deficiency. You should set off now, Shidi, as we just killed two elders of the Emei Sect, they won't let us off easily, and Cangxia Laozhen Ni has already found out about our presence here, I'm afraid they'll swarm in soon. Hurry to leave for the southwest, after getting the book don't come back here, you can go to Maoshan and wait for us."

  Liu Quan said: "Elder brother and sister, rest assured, I've already brought back the Heisha ancient book! Elder brother and sister, you should also be careful."

  After seeing Liu Quan off, Yue Qing said to Xu Fei's mother: "I want to cultivate the Hunyuan True Qi and then return to Wutai Mountain to open the Heavenly Furnace, refine a batch of flying swords, for the use of the Guangda Gate."

  Xu Fei Niang said: "In these years, I have been traveling all over the place, making many good connections and gathering a lot of materials for refining elixirs and artifacts..."

  Yue Qing shook his head and said, "That's still not enough. Moreover, even if we had the materials, my mixed yuan true energy is insufficient, and I'm unable to control the Tian Gong furnace. If something goes wrong, it could collapse the mountains and destroy our foundation."

  Xu Fei Nang said with a thoughtful expression: "My junior brother has come to find me today, and he must have already made up his mind."

  Yue Qing smiled and said: "I really do have some thoughts, Shifu, are you close to the three masters of Nanhai Ziyun Palace?"

  Xu Fei Nang nodded: "I have a relationship of over 100 years with them, the eldest palace mistress is okay, has some immortal temperament, but is indecisive; the second palace mistress is a fool, doesn't take charge of anything, and is easily swayed; the third palace mistress is greedy, stingy, jealous and arrogant, yet I have the best relationship with her. Younger brother, why did you bring them up?"

  "Our mixed yuan true energy and materials will all fall on them!"
