Chapter 286: Old Daoist (2/2)
Li Qiye continuously sipped several cups and said: “Extremely good. I am done drinking, say what you want to say.”
The old daoist laughed, haha, and rubbed his hands together, then he asked: “Where is Dao Brother from, and what is your t.i.tle?”
Li Qiye glanced at him and smilingly shook his head: “Fellow Daoist is mistaken, I am only a no name junior from the Cleansing Incense Ancient Sect. I’m only an ordinary disciple named Li Qiye.”
The worm arrogantly spoke: “Ha, you may refer to my Young n.o.ble as Deity Li, no, as Immortal Monarch Li!”
Li Qiye tapped the worm again and said: “Don’t speak nonsense!”
Little Autumn forced a wry smile and closed its mouth.
The old daoist stared at Li Qiye for a bit and sighed, then he stopped inquiring any further. It was not important whether Li Qiye’s name was real or fake because he understood that Li Qiye was unfathomable!
Li Qiye looked at him and asked: “What is your name? Which generation are you from in the Everlasting Courtyard?”
The old daoist clasped his hand together respectfully and said: “I’ll be candid with Dao Brother. This old daoist’s name is Peng Keng; I am a disciple of the Everlasting Courtyard’s seventh generation, and I’m also its only disciple. At the moment, I am in charge of this place.”
Li Qiye said: “I am still young, don’t refer to me like I am so old. You can call me Young n.o.ble.” Li Qiye said. At this moment, he paused and didn’t say anything else. [1. This sentence would make a lot of sense in the raws. They have been using formal and respectful speech to each other. The old daoist has been calling Li Qiye Dao Older Brother this whole time, but I omitted the older part because it is wordy. Just keep in mind that the old guy is showing a lot of respect to Li Qiye.]
Old Daoist Peng looked at Li Qiye and waited for him to continue. Chi Xiaodie also felt that Li Qiye had something that he wanted to say.
After a long period of silence, Li Qiye couldn’t help but ask: “Is Magu doing well? Is she no longer in charge of the Everlasting Courtyard anymore?”
After so many years had pa.s.sed, Li Qiye initially didn’t want to ask about the little girl in the past, but he couldn’t restrain his emotions.
Old Daoist Peng replied: “Ancestor had lived in seclusion inside the Heavenly Dao Academy’s secret ground and no longer wants to see the world. Even I cannot meet her.”
Li Qiye didn’t ask any more about this matter. He glanced at Old Daoist Peng and said: “You cultivate the Eternal Physique, did your master not tell you that haste makes waste?”
Chi Xiaodie was quite shocked after hearing this. Eternal Physique — this was one of the twelve Immortal Physiques, and what was even more unbelievable was that this slovenly old daoist ahead was actually cultivating the Eternal Physique. Absolutely incredible! The Heavenly Dao Academy was really a place full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers.
The old daoist was startled. He quickly stood up and bowed: “Please teach me a thing or two. When Master was alive, he did mention it. However, when I was young, I took the wrong step due to being impatient.”
“I cannot help you.” Li Qiye shook his head and said: “The Eternal Physique is named eternal; you can only obey the law of nature through the long months and years and let it form itself. Do not try to change it; only then will you have a chance for rebirth and veer back onto the correct track.”
Old Daoist Peng was in a daze after this. He had cultivated the Eternal Physique for a long time, and he felt that Li Qiye’s current suggestion made a lot of sense.
He then bowed and said: “Thank you for the advice.”
