Chapter 342 Four Symbols (1/2)
The person who showed up was Shen Lian. Although his light travel could not match the crazy Daoist's Divine Aura Shifting Method, it was still a class above most people.
He was able to master the light travel in such short period of time thanks to the Deity Temple of Taixu Strategy and his newly attained Primordial Spirit.
However, he was not too excited about his new achievements. If it was not for the coming of the catastrophe of the world, he would not want to be involved in too many supernatural techniques. Back then, he would make sense of things by analogy. Now that he had reached the state of celestialism, he tried to simplified things and focus less on supernatural Dao techniques.
However, he had no choice as things did not turn out as he wished.
The Restriction on Ziyin Island was not able to stop him. Soon enough, he passed through the fenced mystic block and landed on the island.
The island had beautiful mountains and streams of spring water, it was literally a celestial paradise in the human world. Residing here for a long term would definitely cleanse a person's soul.
Above the high cliffs ahead, there were two nuns collecting herbs. They noticed Shen Lian and immediately put down their hoes and asked, ”May I know where did you come from?”
Shen Lian was strolling in the void as an invisible staircase appeared below his feet. He slowly lowered himself down as his robe swayed along in the wind. He looked magnificent like a heavenly being.
Perhaps it was the rich Qi of vitality on the island that made the nuns looked like they were sixteen or seventeen years old. Their skin was fair as snow and had no signs of aging.
Shen Lian knew that even if he made it to the island, there would be a different system here and it would require him to use some supernatural powers to get to the Zizai Temple. As a result, that would be a little disrespectful to the owner of the place.
And that was why he had to trouble the two nuns in front of him in order to enter the residence.
Shen Lian landed in front of the nuns and said, ”Two little masters, I am Shen Lian of the Qing Xuan Celestial Sect. I am here to visit Daoist Liuqing.
The two of them seem to be unaware of the happenings of the world as they did not know the power the name 'Shen Lian' carried. However they were aware that Shen Lian must be someone extraordinary as he was able to descent from the void to enter the island.
One of the nuns responded, ”Since you are looking for the abbess, you just have to go behind this mountain and walk fifty miles more.”
Shen Lian nodded and gently replied, ”Thank you very much.”
His extraordinary charisma and gentle voice charmed the other nun as her heart fluttered and her face blushing in red. She could not look at him in the eye but the other nun who spoke to Shen Lian was poised as she replied him smiling.
Shen Lian too was straightforward. He turned and headed towards the back of the mountain.
The nun who blushed asked, ”Apprentice-Sister, the benefactor does not look like a bad person. Why does the abbess refuse to see him?”
She then continued, ”That Benefactor Shen was so simple-minded. He trusted you so easily.”
The apprentice-sister knocked her bald head and nagged, ”So you're captivated by him, huh? Why do you care so much for a man? There are reasons behind the abbess' decision. Now that he has left for there, let's return to report to the abbess.”
The two of them packed their hoes, carried their herbs pouch and went down the mountain.
After their departure, Shen Lian's figure appeared at the peak of the mountain as he watched the nuns leave. He thought to himself, ”Looks like Daoist Liuqing has predicted my visit here. Her ability sure is something as she placed two nuns here to wait for me. If she was able to predict this, she should have known that the nuns were not able to hide anything from me. Maybe she was just using them to hint to me that she did not want to see me.”
Shen Lian's purpose to visit the Zizai Temple was to borrow some Sanguang Holy Water.
The Sanguang Holy Water was one of the best healing panaceas in the world. Since Chen Jianmei insisted to keep the sword aura in his body to learn that person's swordcraft, there was a high possibility that he may not recover fully despite Shen Lian's protective spell. Qing Xuan too had stocked up on several healing panaceas however those could not guarantee that there would not be any recurrence after recovering.
If Shen Lian had to put down his pride and beg for the Sanguang Holy Water, he would still do it.
