Cultivation towards immortality, starting from being a fisherman-Chapter 115 - 98 Revisiting the Old Place (Happy Dragon Boat Festival)
Chapter 115: Chapter 98 Revisiting the Old Place (Happy Dragon Boat Festival)
The disappearance of Shanawati under everyone’s watchful eyes still left believers more in awe and skeptics as doubtful as ever.
Nevertheless, the local tyrants of Gad City who were gathered for the meeting,
though they hadn’t successfully bribed any Mages, still had channels for information through disciples or other servants of the Mages.
After cross-verifying with these sources, an approximate scene formed in their minds.
As the light around them suddenly dimmed and the air turned icy cold, making it seem as if even breathing became difficult,
a strange squeal of rats began to ring in their ears.
It made them dizzy and nauseous, causing them to vomit…
And then… the Ghostly Gods arrived!
People couldn’t see the Ghostly Gods, yet the Ghostly Gods could affect reality; They opened the front door and directly pulled Shanawati into the void, vanishing without a trace!
This was a version of the story already toned down from its magically altered contents, yet it still met with reluctance to be believed.
However, after verifying from multiple sources, one fact remained… Shanawati had indeed disappeared!
More conspirators decided to wait and see, or even withdrew entirely.
Thus, on this night, a conspiracy against the investors from the East fizzled out in the intelligence-gathering phase due to its mysterious nature…
Golden Sparrow City, Frost Moon Villa.
Su Ping had invited that Old Talisman Master Luo from Golden Moon City’s Inspector.
This Old Talisman Master Luo had previously attended the Yun Family’s auction and was lucky enough to have dodged a disaster.
Afterwards, he realized that something was amiss; he was supposed to be an Inspector, yet he did not live in Golden Moon City but rather took his beautiful wives and stayed in another workshop regularly.
He was rather well-liked among the Outer Sect people and had even made a close confidante of an Inner Sect Disciple.
So the Inspection Envoy turned a blind eye to it.
After all, in these times, a city without one Inspector was hardly missing anything.
However, life wasn’t easy when more people started living within the workshop.
Consequently, Old Talisman Master Luo attempted to return to his old profession, only to be shocked to find that the business of talisman painting had become increasingly competitive.
Young Talisman Masters, leveraging their physical vigor, started playing a game of thin margins and high volume.
The old and physically weakened Master Luo, whose energy had greatly dwindled and who had developed a recent fondness for alcohol and women, found his body greatly depleted.

His efficiency in painting talismans was too low; even after selling them, he could barely make ends meet.
So, upon receiving Su Ping’s invitation,
Old Talisman Master Luo thought long and hard and, faced with the choice between safety and poverty, decided to take a gamble, bringing only his two most favored wives with him to Frost Moon Villa to serve as a Talisman Master teacher.
However, Old Talisman Master Luo didn’t know that the true subject of his teaching wasn’t the Inspector of Golden Sparrow City,
but a genius of the Talisman Path who had just commenced Qi Refining within the sheltered Pot Cave Heaven.
Whenever this genius girl was puzzled, Su Ping often was not,
but that was okay, as he would simply go to Old Talisman Master Luo for the answers.
He even offered Spirit Stones to have the Old Talisman Master Luo record his life experience on the ins and outs of talismans in front of a Projection Stone.
Su Ping then added a universal language dub to the Projection Stone with Mana and gave it to Shanawati to watch over and over again.
Old Talisman Master Luo was a wise man,
and a Talisman Master who had let go of his obsession with Immortal Cultivation, opting to retire early.
From the questions occasionally asked by Su Ping, he vaguely guessed that a genius who had just started learning the Talisman Path was on the rise.
This genius couldn’t be Su Ping.
Old Talisman Master Luo had taught him, and although he seemed quite satisfied with himself, the experienced Old Talisman Master knew this was just an ordinary Cultivator with little talent for talismans.
A Cultivator like that, no matter how long they painted talismans, could never ask those core questions that go straight to the heart of the Talisman Path!
Old Talisman Master Luo was tempted by the thought of mentorship; if possible, he wished to nurture a future genius of the Talisman Path who could make his name renowned for a hundred years after his own time.
But realizing that Su Ping was making things so complex, obviously intending to keep secrets, he dismissed these impractical thoughts.
To live longer, it’s better to know less.
Now that Su Ping was empowered with Divine Sense, he wasn’t afraid that an old Cultivator in the middle phase of Qi Refining who had entered his declining years would discover anything in the villa.
Besides, there was nothing amiss in Frost Moon Villa.
All the good stuff was in the Pot Cave Heaven; the question of why the Inspector of Golden Sparrow City loved fishing so much became just another research topic for one more old cultivator.
As the Immortal Sect Territory remained generally peaceful with no incidents, Su Ping continued his Cultivation at ease.
He even wrote letters hoping his Outer Sect acquaintances would recommend another old Cultivator in Alchemy to him,
so that the progress of Little Taoist Zhouxuan’s Alchemy could also be slightly accelerated.
Then, after another fishing cycle concluded, Su Ping accumulated a total of 120 fishing experience points between Frost Moon Lake and the reservoir Fishing Points,
when he suddenly learned that over ten cities in the northern territories of the Immortal Sect had been devastated by the outbreak of Evil Spirits overnight.
Rumors had it that an Evil God Avatar appeared over one of the cities and led hundreds of Evil Cultivators in a surprise attack on a large workshop of the Immortal Sect there.
Then, as if by a prearranged signal,
the demon beasts from the Ten Thousand Mountains launched another fierce offensive, with many defensive lines in jeopardy!
Despite the Immortal Sect promptly announcing that the Immortal Chiyuan Sect had reached an agreement with the Great Golden Light Temple, starting today, the Mages from the Golden Ray Monastery would head north to help seal the Evil Spirits and drive out the Evil Gods,
the entire Immortal Sect Territory was still uneasy.
Even the elders in the wealthy households who kept announcing that good times were upon them realized that the times had changed.
The peaceful era under the sharp sword of Immortal Chi Yuan… seemed to be coming to an end?
