Chapter 279 Guangfa (2/2)

The look of him riding on the water with a sword on his back was actually rather intimidating.

There were many flying techniques in the world, but to find someone like Shen Lian who could step on a calm lake and not make any ripples, such Qi cultivator was a rare sight to these Five Venoms disciples.

They did hear of the cultivators in the world who had entered the realm of Buxu, and could float in the air as if it was flat ground, but out of the three thousand miles region, only the old Doyen of Qingjiang Sword Sect, Meng Xunzhen had the ability to do so.

There were rumors of the leaders of Chiyan Clan and Dark Wind Cave being able to do this too, but no one saw it for real to prove its authenticity.

With Shen Lian's young age, they naturally would think to that extent and brushed it off as some mysterious spell.

This was the difference in the cultivation of Five Venoms Order with other sects'. They might have some earth-shattering spells, but their actual lifespan was only two to three hundred years, or even those disciples who rushed their cultivation would not live as long as a mortal. Even if they were lucky to live until two to three hundred years, this was also because they took all kinds of poisons to slow their aging.

Comparatively, they would not care about the theory of the how the cultivation field sees a person's age by their face.

Shen Lian just smiled and took another step, then his body formed a shadow under the moonlight and traveled through the bodies of the guarding disciples.

They only felt a gush of wind passing by, and before they could contact other apprentice mates, they felt a sensation as if they got pricked by a needle, causing their body to freeze and immobile.

Shen Lian never stopped, as he used his spiritual consciousness to scan through the water village, and detected a spot where the spiritual strength was strongest.

That spot was in a serene courtyard, where green ivies grew around its column, and the water flowed steadily like a symphony.

Standing on the water village gave one a calm, out-of-the-world experience.

He walked straight without any obstruction and shortly arrived outside a door.

A voice said, ”Who is this honorable guest? Why are you visiting me this late? Are you here to harm me?”

The voice was low and hoarse. Not seeing its owner would guess that it was an old man at a very old age.

The door opened itself, revealing what was inside.

Inside the wide and clean house, there was sky window with tainted glass on time, allowing the moon the shine through and brightened the whole house, so there was no need for candle lights.

A person was seen sitting alone, dressed in black, with a tea set in front of him. One would presume he was drinking tea alone.

He was not like who Shen Lian imagined to be. He looked like he was thirty years old, with no sign of age.

He saw this man tapped on his tea set, and out flew a cup, rotating in the air, but not spilling a drop of water, slowly levitating in front of Shen Lian. There were some bubbles visible in the tea in the cup, looked like it was poisonous.

Shen Lian stuck out two fingers to lightly receive the teacup, and said, ”Millennium Heart Decaying Grass, what a rare find.”

The man responded, ”This honorable guest is quite knowledgeable.”

”When consumed for a long time, this herb could prolong aging, strengthen one's body. However long-term consumption will also dilute a person's emotions, hence the name 'heart decaying',” Shen Lian continued.

The man clapped his hands, ”Precisely.”

Shen Lian finished up his tea, and suddenly raised his voice, ”You are not the leader of Five Venoms Order!”

He remained emotionless, only his black robe shivered, as he sighed, ”Shen Zhenren is, in fact, a prodigy of the generation. Greetings to you from Guangfa.”
