Chapter 644 Runes Method from Zhengyi Sec (2/2)

When Su Xiuqing arrived behind Taiyi Peak, Chen Jinchan showed her the way and left as he needed to catch up with some celestials. Shen Lian was of high status and in a higher state. The others would be uncomfortable to talk to him after the Dragon Flower Assembly. At the same time, Shen Lian had no patience with networking. Therefore, Chen Jinchan was suitable for the role.

The stars shined brightly in the sky. It seemed so close that the stars seemed like it could be hand plucked. The path towards Shen Lian's home was shining brightly too. Su Xiuqing calmly walked to the end of the road. The door naturally opened and the interior was bright like the full moon fell into the house.

As she entered, there was no source of light.

Shen Lian laid on a stone couch, it seemed like he was sound asleep. Su Xiuqing did not dare to disturb Shen Lian so she quietly waited by the side. There was no superfluous decoration in his house, only a picture, hung in the hall. In the picture, there were mountains, rivers and a couplet. It wrote:

'There is nothing in the heaven and earth that I can rely on, I can only rely on myself;

The Book of He Tu Luo cannot be depended on, as its basis is all void.'

After reading the couplet, Su Xiuqing was amazed.

There were only Zhenren Shen and Zhenren Xiangshan who had that breadth of mind. She would take many years to reach that state. In fact, she might not reach it in this lifetime.

When she was not paying attention, Shen Lian got up.

immediately, Su Xiuqing gathered her thoughts, put her hands in front and bowed attentively.

Shen Lian smiled and commented, ”You are not my disciple nor my grand-disciple, so it need not be so formal. We can lose the arrogance but do not lose your self-esteem.

Su Xiuqing responded, ”Thank you for your advice. Zhenren Shen, why do you call me?”

Shen Lian answered, ”I find that you have the potentials so I decided to direct your cultivation.”

Su Xiuqing was comforted by Zhenren Shen's straightforwardness.

Shen Lian added, ”After receiving the teachings, I demand some reward.”

Su Xiuqing became ashamed as she thought the reward in the wrong way.

As she listened to Shen Lian's request, she knew that she overthought.

”The runes method from Zhengyi sect is authentic and successive generations had evolved it into a variety of methods. Hence, even the mortals were able to to use them. This gave Zhengyi sect a good reputation in the mundane world. I hope that you could work for me for a few years. Your job is to teach the cultivators some ordinary Talisman. It would be better than even people with different cultivation are able to use it too. Within the years that you work for me, you are free to ask any questions regarding the difficulties you face in your cultivation. I would not let you delay your cultivation and would give you an identity as a disciple under me. What do you think?” Shen Lian spoke carefully.

There were more cultivation sects here than the netherworld. The development of Qi cultivator was much better compared to Yinshang. For example, unlike the Qi cultivators in Yinshang, the runes method from Zhengyi sect was ingenious and it was able to be absorbed into different levels.

Su Xiuqing was a genius in runes method and the highest accomplisher in Zhengyi sect. Her uniqueness was she even managed to grow the Talisman Seed. Therefore, he hoped that he was able to bring her to the netherworld. This would help Da Zhou greatly.

At the same time, as Su Xiuqing was working, she would be able to receive some fortune of the nation. This would also enhance her cultivation. However, Shen Lian did not press further. It all depended on her decision.河图洛书 - Book of He Tu Luo is the original source of culture in the ancient China.
