Can't Stand This Lousy Jie Sect Anymore

Chapter 263: Junior Brother I Need Your Help in Cultivation! (Second Update Please Subscribe)


Returning to the forest south of the city, Yu Yuan glanced towards the grass cottage.

Master Xuan Du was still teaching the children, speaking with great earnestness, and had even brought in a patient suffering from a cold to demonstrate in front of everyone.

Although he could cure the patient with just a breath of air, he still painstakingly brewed a pot of medicinal soup and personally fed it to the patient.

It must be said, the effectiveness of Primordial's herbs is indeed very significant.

Originally, the patient was pale and haggard with a fear of coldness, but after consuming the steaming medicinal soup, in just a short while, his complexion visibly brightened.

After a little more time, he broke into a heavy sweat and regained his energy.

"How is it, isn't this herbology class by Xuan Du Daoist Friend taught well?" Wen Zhong looked at Yu Yuan with some pride, "When he passed by here initially and wanted to learn mathematics from me, I didn't even expect that he would actually be willing to stay."

"Learning mathematics from you?"

Yu Yuan looked at Wen Zhong with a peculiar expression, "Do you know who he is?"

Wen Zhong obviously misunderstood, and said smilingly: "I didn't recognize him at the start and didn't teach him either. He didn't say anything, just built a straw hut behind the grass cottage and settled down.

Later on, after we got familiar, I felt that he was a decent person, so I imparted all the mathematics knowledge you left me, to him.

And then he stayed to teach the children with me.

Now he is both my colleague and my... "

"Stop! Don't utter the last two words!" Yu Yuan glared at him irritably, "Feeling brave, are we? Have you never heard of Master Xuan Du's name or what?"

"What Master Xuan Du?" Wen Zhong seemed a bit lost.

He hadn't stayed in Penglai Holy Realm for long, spending most of his time in cultivation, with very little understanding of Primordial.

Yu Yuan knew this very well, and was thinking of explaining Xuan Du's background, but then he thought, since Xuan Du himself didn't care, why should he bother with this nosiness?

Immediately, he just said "figure it out yourself" and sent Wen Zhong away.

After a while, Master Xuan Du finished teaching, tidied up briefly, and returned to the grass cottage.

Yu Yuan had already prepared Spiritual Spring water in the cottage and brewed a pot of fragrant tea, quietly waiting for his arrival.

"Jie Sect disciple Yu Yuan pays respect to Master Uncle!"

In front of this ancestor of the Human Race, Yu Yuan respectfully took the initiative to bow and salute.

Master Xuan Du smiled and returned the gesture, "Daoist friend is too courteous, I neither dare nor should accept the title of Master Uncle."

Yu Yuan stepped aside, insisting: "Master Uncle is a direct disciple of a Saint. Despite belonging to different sects, we share a bond through The Three Pure Ones, so the title Master Uncle is indeed fitting."

Hearing this, Master Xuan Du no longer refused and said "I am unworthy," then at Yu Yuan's invitation sat across from him with a table between them.

As the two of them enjoyed tea, they chatted casually about this and that, and exchanged greetings to each other's sect hierarchs from afar.

Then, Yu Yuan asked the question he had been holding back for a long time: "Master Uncle, why are you here in this place?"

"The Calamity is approaching, and I am traveling the world upon my teacher's decree. During my journey, I passed by Linhuan Pass and found this place remarkably different from others, thus I decided to stay."

Master Xuan Du stated his purpose succinctly, then lifted his teacup for a sip, warmly asking, "I would also like to know why Master Nephew is here educating the Human Race?

Moreover, these teachings you impart aren't Jie Sect's methods, right? I wonder where Mathematics, Physics, and so forth originated?"

"They are my own conjectures."

Having been a copier of texts, Yu Yuan did not mind copying a bit more of other things.

He laughed openly, saying: "I have always liked to muse about things. My disciple brother was keen on cultivating among the Human Race, so I passed these teachings onto him."

"Master Nephew's actions are greatly benevolent!"

A hint of admiration and surprise flashed in Master Xuan Du's eyes.

He had personally studied Mathematics, Physics, and other disciplines, aware of the profound truths they contained. They were very straightforward and easy to learn, even for ordinary humans.

Even if they didn't delve into cultivation, they could possess strength far beyond that of ordinary men!

Take the simplest example of lifting.

Among ordinary humans, strong adult men were only able to lift stones weighing a thousand pounds, while cultivators could easily move tens of thousands of pounds with "Five Ghosts Transport," "Summoning and Departing," among other magical powers.

Yet, if ordinary people learned the way of Physics and created a pulley system for lifting heavy loads, they too could move several thousand pounds or even tens of thousands of pounds!

The key point is that cultivators require a long time of arduous cultivation to develop powers like "Summoning and Departing," while the pulley system can simply be constructed with elementary materials.

Of course, for Immortal Gods, these things naturally wouldn't matter much to them.

But Master Xuan Du, as the primordial Human Ancestor, had led the Human Race from Ancient Times to the present day, witnessing their progression from insignificance to today's prosperity.

Each advancement of the Human Race was due not just to the care of Saints, but much more from the innovation of outstanding individuals.

From Suiren drilling wood for fire, Youchao observing birds to build houses, Cancong using animal skins for warmth, to Fu Xi interpreting the Eight Diagrams, Shennong tasting herbs, Cang Jie creating written characters...

The Human Race managed to progress to its current state exactly because of continuous innovation and an ever-learning spirit!

This is the greatest advantage of the Human Race compared to other Primordial Clans!

Each innovation brings about earth-shattering changes and makes the Human Race more powerful.

Master Xuan Du, having witnessed the progression of the Human Race since Ancient Times, was completely certain of this.

Therefore, regarding the innovations like water wheels, windmills, selective breeding, and composting constructed at Linhuan Pass, Master Xuan Du felt extremely anticipative and shocked.

Previously, a single innovation could bring significant transformation to the Human Race.

Now, at Linhuan Pass he encountered numerous innovations.

He believed that if these innovations could spread throughout the Human Race's settlements in Primordial, they were bound to witness an unprecedented, massive change!

Master Xuan Du was more eager than anyone to witness this moment.

Now, hearing that all these innovations were conceived by Yu Yuan himself, his view towards Yu Yuan changed completely.

Initially, what he knew of Yu Yuan was that of the outspoken Third Generation Disciple of the Jie Sect, daring to directly request the Four Swords of Slaying Immortal from Hierarch Tongtian in full public view, seemingly fearless.

Master Xuan Du had no particular fondness for such people.

Those who do not understand reverence often mistake their desires for ideals and slick talk for wisdom.

People with true knowledge and moral cultivation often find themselves more readily aware of their own shortcomings, thus behaving in the world with greater humility.

However, upon arriving at Linhuan Pass and learning from Wen Zhong that all these novel things originated from Yu Yuan, he went out of his way to reevaluate Yu Yuan's past in detail.

After that, he discovered that he had misjudged this Jie Sect disciple.

The other party was far wiser and more morally cultivated than he had imagined.

It's just that he has many different "faces."

Different people see him differently.

In fact, almost everyone in this world has different faces.

Including himself, and even including all the Saints!

At his realm, he had already come to see through many things clearly.

Therefore, Master Xuan Du did not feel that Yu Yuan was adept at disguising himself; instead, he saw him as a person full of wisdom.

At least also a smart person.

Now, after a face-to-face conversation, he was even more convinced of this.

He looked at Yu Yuan and said earnestly, "It is not in vain that this poor Daoist waited here for many days, to be able to meet my disciple nephew today. Tomorrow I shall continue to travel through the Primordial lands, and my disciple nephew's teaching of the Human Race here is an act of boundless merit, for which I am grateful."

With that, he got up and respectfully bowed.

Yu Yuan sidestepped to avoid the formalities and handed over a bronze mirror marked with the character "Zhen", smiling and saying, "When Uncle Master leaves this time, the children of Linhuan Pass will probably find it hard to part... This bronze mirror is a gift to Uncle Master, consider it your remuneration for teaching here."

"This is..."

Master Xuan Du slightly frowned, keenly aware of the mirror's extraordinary nature, and looked at Yu Yuan with a surprised gaze.

But Yu Yuan simply nodded slightly, without saying anything more.

Master Xuan Du frowned in thought for a long time before finally accepting the bronze mirror, all the while shaking his head and sighing, "This poor Daoist enjoys tranquility and is not good at disputing with others, so please do not make things difficult for me, nephew."

"How could I make things difficult for Uncle Master?" Yu Yuan shook his head and smiled, "Uncle Master can rest assured."

With another sigh, Master Xuan Du put the mirror into his sleeve and then turned to leave the thatched cottage, saying, "This poor Daoist will now continue to travel through the Primordial lands, please relay my farewell to young friend Wen Zhong on my behalf."

After speaking, with a slight sway, he disappeared from view.

Yu Yuan: "..."

Weren't you supposed to leave tomorrow?

Could it be that I scared him?

Really... Isn't it just a request for you to lend a hand in the future? Is there a need to be so scared?

Yu Yuan secretly complained in his heart.

But in the end, Master Xuan Du accepted the bronze mirror.

Given his value on the Human Race, Yu Yuan believed that when the day comes that he needed his help, this prime disciple of the Human Sect should indeed arrive as promised.

Yu Yuan thought for a while, and as the sun began to set, he left the thatched cottage, found a vacant spot on the banks of the Huai River, and from his Ruyi Qiankun Bag, he took out a Treasure Hall and installed it.

He was going to wait here for the arrival of the Luck God Dragon and did not intend to leave Linhuan Pass for the time being.

Days passed in a hurry.

During these days, he kept himself locked inside the Treasure Hall, not going out unless necessary.

During the day, he was refining vestment robes, and at night, adopting an idle approach, he began practicing the Great Dream Heart Sutra.

As soon as night fell, he would fall into a deep sleep, and his Primordial Spirit would split into thousands, simultaneously dreaming...

And then, he would abruptly stop at the break of dawn the next day, frustrating himself!

Because of the protection of the White Jade Prayer Beads bestowed by Saint Zhunti, his actions, albeit causing considerable damage to his Primordial Spirit, did not harm his foundation like last time.

In this way, his "cultivation" wouldn't alarm the Saints again, and his Primordial Spirit could improve swiftly.

It had to be said that the White Jade Prayer Beads given by Saint Zhunti were really useful.

On this morning, Yu Yuan opened his eyes early.

After a night of "cultivation," he was full of energy and vigor.

Suddenly, his thoughts stirred slightly, sensing two familiar auras descending from the sky and landing in front of the Treasure Hall doors.

Moments later, a voice as clear as a wind chime entered.

"Junior Brother, come out here!"

"Sister is here?"

Yu Yuan got up from the bed, and with a flick of his finger, he was covered in a Daoist robe, hiding his well-proportioned physique.

But before he could go forward to open the door, the door was pushed open with a "creak".

The person who entered strode boldly into the Treasure Hall, grinding her teeth and saying, "You still remember you have a sister like me? You said you'd come to pick me up from Qingqiu after a few days, but you disappeared for years, and you dare say I'm the fierce one?"

"Mistake, a mistake," Yu Yuan repeatedly begged for mercy.

"Just one mistake and you think you can send me off?" Huo Ling'er said with a hollow look in her eyes.

"Then how do you want to be compensated?" Yu Yuan asked, "Just name it. With our relationship, whatever I can do, I'll arrange for you!"

"That's what you said!" Huo Ling'er fiercely said, "I already know why Bai Ling has progressed so rapidly! It has always been you helping her cultivate, right? From today onwards, I want you to help me with my cultivation too!"
