Chapter 208 Extraordinary Nature (2/2)
The server walked up to serve, ”Celestial master, what wine do you want? Boss is in today, how 'bout I get him to come out?”
Shen Lian had a good look at the server, and smiled, ”You looked much older from before. Are you married with children?”
The server was rather surprised that Shen Lian still recognized him. He remembered Shen Lian because of the deep impression he left, but Shen Lian would never care about people of his kind.
He scratched his hair rather bashfully, now that his back was hunching a bit. Server replied, ”I never thought that celestial master still remembers me. I have married long ago, even my son has married and got a chubby little one”.
Shen Lian then said, ”That is a delightful news. Congratulations.”
Server replied, ”Ah, let me just go in and ask the boss to come and chat with you. I would never know what else to talk to you with”.
Shen Lian had no intention of looking down on mortal peasants. However server himself knew that he was a mere mortal, and looking the godly state of Shen Lian, he had done well in muttering some words. Still, it would exceed his capabilities to make a more structured conversation.
However, with Shen Lian being so friendly to talk with, that exceeded his expectations.
Shen Lian smiled, ”That's fine. He is here”.
Yan Bugui looked like he had just woken up. In one month, he would spend ten days in town. He was originally a mountain burglar. Just because his ancestors had a friendship with Drunken Daoist that they made a pact that a descendant would be sent to the mountains to study Daoism.
However, as Drunken Daoist went out to search for him, Yan Bugui was already having a good time on the mountain.
This fellow's family was quite wealthy. He regularly made friends with good men from all corners of the world. Then, a friend was arrested by the magistrate authorities, so he gathered his brothers to hijack the execution ground and went up the mountains.
Drunken Daoist snatched him away against Yan Bugui's wish. Coincidentally, Qing Xuan had opened its mountain gates. So, Drunken Daoist went on to drop him at Wenxin Road. As expected by Drunken Daoist, Yan Bugui really had some Dao nature in him, as he got out from the illusion, established enlightenment, and was never so offending any more.
When he entered Qing Xuan, he was past his twenties. Initially, the rules would not allow him to be enrolled, but Zhang Ruoxu especially considered this a favor for Drunken Daoist, enrolled him in, and let him exit the mountain occasionally.
In terms of guiding the nature of a Daoist to develop their cultivation, Zhang Ruoxu was an undisputable teacher in this.
Nevertheless, a teacher could only guide a student to school, whereas the rest of the cultivation depended on the student themselves.
Zhang Ruoxu could only do what was within his capabilities, to help this seed of Dao cultivation grow and succeed.
Shen Lian saw Yan Bugui and laughed hysterically, ”Hello, my Daoist friend.” His face full of delight, as he directly expressed Yan Bugui as his Daoist friend.
Using his Daoist eyes, he saw that Yan Bugui looked drunk and sober at the same time, leaking with celestial aura, but not radiating; an aura of Dao restrained within.
These were the signs of attaining the Dao of Dan, and the next would be the natural attainment of Huandan.
Shen Lian was overjoyed because once Yan Bugui achieved Dan Dao, Qing Xuan would gain an additional new blood, also an additional person to attend the devotion ceremony of bier. He estimated that Gu Caiwei would achieve Huandan before Yan Bugui. Never did he think that Yan Bugui would be leading one step ahead.
Speaking of when Gu Caiwei achieving Huandan, Shen Lian had found a fast track method. This was also part of the reasons why he wanted to make this trip out of the mountain.
