Cultivation: Being Immortal-Chapter 442:

"Where am I going, what is the meaning of my life in this world?"

After the first question, Xia Qingshan had many more questions popping up, each one making him more confused because he couldn’t answer any of them.

·······

Zhong State, Tianxian City

When Xia Qingshan appeared, Lin Jiang immediately changed his appearance. Lin Jiang, being close to Xia Qingshan, knew he would attract attention once Xia Qingshan returned. So, Lin Jiang decided to disappear from everyone’s sight.

As Lin Jiang had expected, Xia Qingshan hid away, and many people started looking for him, but it was all in vain.

Of course, Lin Jiang hadn’t left Tianxian City. No matter if Xia Qingshan came to Tianxian City on purpose or not, it was the place where Xia Qingshan was most likely to appear, so staying in Tianxian City was the best choice.

"Zhou Huaiying really has a lot of courage!"

A few days later, Lin Jiang saw the reward notice from Tianxuan Sect and couldn’t help but admire Zhou Huaiying. Not many people had such courage. Xia Qingshan, oh Xia Qingshan, you must curse Zhou Huaiying to death.

Three months flew by, and Xia Qingshan still hadn’t been caught. It was like he had disappeared from the world. Even Lin Jiang was getting impatient. He didn’t have time to waste like this.

Just as Lin Jiang was about to leave Tianxian City, he heard a message in his ear, saying, "Taoist Friend Li, it’s me, Xia Qingshan. Please come to the next room."

Lin Jiang listened and felt intrigued. He was staying at an inn. He went straight to the next room and saw Xia Qingshan after he had changed his appearance. Xia Qingshan’s disguise skills were very good, and Lin Jiang couldn’t tell it was him.

"Taoist Friend Xia."

"It’s me, Taoist Friend Li."

"How did you find me?"

"I have been with my friend Taoist Li for many days, I have memorized his scent."

"My scent has changed."

Lin Jiang said that his disguise technique was very advanced, he could even see scents.

"Well, actually I searched for many days too. I wandered around nearby for a few days, watching the people on the street every day. I could figure out some things about most people just by looking at their faces, except for Taoist Li, I couldn’t see through him, so I recognized him as Taoist Li."

"That explanation is almost right. Taoist Xia, where have you been hiding all this time?"

"Near Tianxian City, but I have reached a dead end."

"How come?"

"Taoist Li, don’t you know my current situation? I don’t know what I did to offend Zhou Huaiying from Tianxuan Sect. He is targeting me like this, and not just him, other sects are secretly hunting me. I dare not show my face, my way out is blocked."

Xia Qingshan said he really had reached a dead end. He was different from other cultivators, he relied on the technique of knowing the heavens for cultivation. And this technique required constantly deducing fate. The best way was to predict fortunes for others, but in this situation, he didn’t dare show his face.

"You’re right, then what will Taoist Friend Xia do?"

"I don’t know either, I can’t beat them."

"Can’t beat them, then we can only hide, Taoist Friend Xia."

"But I don’t want to hide like this."

"Has Taoist Friend Xia thought about killing Zhou Huaiying?"

"How to do it?"

"Curse him, curse him to death."

"No, no, if I curse him to death, I will die too. He is a Tao Achieving, I have to pay with my life."

"Aren’t you able to resurrect?"

Lin Jiang said that if he had the ability like Xia Qingshan, he would definitely curse Zhou Huaiying right away without any fear, knowing that he could be resurrected.

"Taoist Friend Li, although I don’t know the reason for my resurrection, I know that it definitely comes with a price, there must be some kind of cost to pay."

"Does Taoist Friend Xia not understand himself well?"

"Yes, why am I called Xia Qingshan, where do I come from, what do I need to do, I have no idea."

Lin Jiang frowned upon hearing this, finding it interesting that Xia Qingshan also didn’t know who he was, where he came from, or what he needed to do.

"Taoist Friend Xia, are you trying to deceive me?"

"Taoist Friend Li, you are my closest friend, see, I can’t trust anyone else right now, only you, do you think I would deceive you?"

"Well, then what is Taoist Friend Xia’s purpose in looking for me?"

"Wants Taoist Friend Li to help."

"Taoist Friend Xia joked: ‘There are so many people watching you now, I don’t have the ability to help you.’"

"Taoist Friend Li, do you remember when your sister wanted to find Third Sister?"

"Of course, do you have any leads?"

"Not yet, but I can find some."

"What do you mean?"

"I’ll help you find your Third Sister, and you’ll protect me."

"Taoist Friend Xia, you know my strength, I can’t beat Zhou Huaiying."

Lin Jiang said he wasn’t getting too excited, it could be a good thing for Xia Qingshan to help find Third Sister, but Lin Jiang knew his limits and didn’t want to take the risk.

"Taoist Friend Li must have someone backing him, he shouldn’t be an independent cultivator, right?"

"Yes, everyone in the martial world has a few close friends, right?"

"That’s right, even though I can’t predict Taoist Friend Li’s fate, I believe others won’t be a problem. I can help Taoist Friend Li become the most powerful force in the world."

"How?"

"What’s most important in predicting fate is to seek good fortune and avoid disasters. With my guidance, your family and disciples can find countless opportunities and avoid most dangers. You see, wouldn’t that be powerful?"

Xia Qingshan said, and Lin Jiang was immediately very excited. If what Xia Qingshan said was true, then everyone around Lin Jiang could benefit greatly. It truly was possible to make Lin Jiang the most powerful person in the world, and then protecting Xia Qingshan wouldn’t be a problem.

"Taoist Friend Li, will you agree?"

"Why choose me?"

"Taoist Friend Li has been sincere to me, and I have been sincere to Taoist Friend Li. I have been in Tianxian City for so long, and everyone who came to me wanted to gain from me, only Taoist Friend Li treated me as a brother."

"Brother, you’re right. From now on, you are my true brother."

Lin Jiang immediately laughed, indeed, sincerity is the killer move.

"Taoist Friend Li, um…"

"Ah, why still call me Taoist Friend Li, just call me brother, from now on I am your brother."

"Um, maybe just call me Brother Li."

Xia Qingshan felt a bit awkward, he still couldn’t say the word brother.

"Okay, then I’ll call you Brother Li. Brother Xia, what did you just say?"

"I want to go to North State, first go find your Third Sister."

"Is it that urgent?"

"Yes, I also want to check on your Third Sister’s situation."

Xia Qingshan nodded. He remembered that Third Sister was trapped by a very scary being that even his special technique couldn’t resist. He wanted to meet this scary being to see if he could uncover the mystery of his own background. Now, Xia Qingshan was very concerned about who he was and where he came from.
