Chapter 606 Yin Devilry Incantation of Asura (1/2)
One should understand the preciousness of the mystical wine. Not only was it scarcely seen by a Qi cultivator, it was even more precious seeing that it was put in the palace of Yinshang.
The fact that Shen Lian could gift this wine to his servant, meant that he was not only generous, he actually had no need for this mystical wine as well.
”I am Chang Shengzi from Xuanzhen Temple. Yet, I do not know which mountain you learned your Dao from. Maybe we are somehow related?” Since the Daoist was candid and frank enough and already had a high impression towards Shen Lian, he decided to open up to him.
Shen Lian thought that since he was part of the celestial ranks, he would be clear minded and not be obsessed with ghostly tricks.
He smiled and said, ”I am Shen Lian.”
Upon hearing the name Chang Shengzi felt that it was familiar. Then his expression promptly changed into shock and he exclaimed, ”You are Zhenren Qing Xuan!”
Shen Lian asked, ”Do you, Zhenren Chang Shengzi think that I am joking?”
Chang Shengzi sighed, ”I think there isn't anyone who would doubt your authenticity, Zhenren Qing Xuan. I am guessing one of your followers must be a demon since I had my mystical wine scammed off by you.”
He was shocked beyond words, as his usually calm soul had rippled in turbulence. As one of the Seven Sons of Qing Xuan Temple, how could he not know who Shen Lian was? This was a real and actual living Tian Xian (heavenly immortal), who was at the level that Qi cultivators of his rank spent their lives pursuing after. There would not be any fakery in this.
Everyone knew that the current world was divided into three major forces. Xia kingdom was naturally opposing forces with Yinshang. However, judging from the way that Wen Zhong, the national advisor of Yinshang, wanted to cast heavenly punishment upon Shen Qingxuan, one would guess that these two were not in good terms either.
Shen Lian could have infiltrated into Yinshang unnoticed since he had the ability to do so. However, he had revealed his identity to him. If this information was leaked out in the future and he pretended to be clueless, one could not imagine where his Xuanzhen Temple would stand.
Chang Shengzi might be cool and unattached but he was still a disciple of Qing Xuan Temple which had its Dao tradition. Now he did not know what to do. He even felt a slight sense of regret for asking. If he never asked, Shen Qing Xuan would never reveal his own identity.
Shen Lian said, ”This lady is Ah Lian and she studies the path of Shen. The child's name is Jiu Yue, a shapeshift of a butterfly demon. You two should come up and thank Zhenren Chang Shengzi. This jug of wine can save you three to five years of cultivation.”
As both proceeded to bow, Chang Shengzi never avoided them either, but he replied, ”What do you suggest I can do now, fellow Daoist brother?”
Shen Lian answered, ”You just act without going against your own will. Why would you want to ask Shen Lian?”
Chang Shengzi felt that he had used up his lifetime's worth of sighs that day. This man was in fact unpredictable. He had not seen Shen Lian's characteristics yet, and he had already known of his own mind, temperament, and nature, leaving him speechless.
This was clear evidence that, of the three saints of the world, Qing Xuan was number one.
If Chang Shengzi had doubts about him before this, now he was impressed by him.
”I would still invite fellow brother to help me,” he said.
