Seeking the Tao in the Mortal World

Chapter 149: Passerby

Chapter 149: Passerby

At this time, Qing Cha returned with an identity token and a jade slip.

"The master of the Registry Hall said that since you are Master's junior, you are an assistant. You should get the black token." Qing Cha sniffed with a hint of envy on her face.

Qin Yi asked, "Does this mean I have a high status?"

"Yes, Palace Master is the only heaven level. The heads of each sect and the important deacons of each hall are earth level. The assistants and peak masters are black level. It is a high status."

"You’re your master's disciple, so you should also get a yellow token right?"

Qing Cha took out a small iron sign and said, "No, I'm not yellow."

Ju Yunxiu said, "Qing Cha is just an attendant I enlightened. It's already good that it can turn into the human form and paint. In fact, she lacks spiritual roots. For the Immortal Palace, she is only the lowest level. She is just a member of the sect without a status. However, Qing Cha is my closest person here, so no one dares to treat her like a maid.”

"No, the Immortal Palace is so hierarchical? What is the lofty immortal intent?"

"As long as cultivation requires resource allocation, there will be a hierarchy." Ju Yunxiu said faintly, "Just like the cave house you need, these are resources. Everyone wants to occupy them, so how can they be divided?"

Qin Yi was silent, then he sighed and said, "Okay, then what is this jade slip?"

"Some information about this palace. You can read it slowly when you get your cave house." Ju Yunxiu went out first and looked back with a smile. "Don't just stand there. Bring the token and come with me."

Myriad Tao Immortal Palace was an entire mountain range with countless mountains.

Among them, the piano, chess, calligraphy, and painting sect did not refer to a mountain, but to a whole mountain. Ju Yunxiu was the main peak in this area. There were many lower mountains that hid among the clouds and mist.

When this sect was prosperous, the masters of music, chess, calligraphy, and painting would each occupy a mountain peak and discuss matters on the main peak.

Therefore, there was also the concept of peak master under the sect master. Now Qin Yi's status was equivalent to a peak master, so he could own a small mountain peak.

But now the entire sect's talents had reduced greatly. For Qin Yi, it meant that he could occupy the surrounding side peaks at will. He could choose the cave house developed by countless predecessors at will.

There were no very high-end cave houses. The highest ones were the one created by predecessors at the Radiant Yang Stage.

The even higher one was actually the main peak, where Ju Yunxiu lived. The wooden house was a super cave house. If he wanted to train in it, well…

Ju Yunxiu flew in the air with her hands behind her. She looked at the handkerchief Qin Yi was sitting on with playful eyes, "Junior Apprentice, your flying enchanted tool is a bit interesting."

Qin Yi blushed, "This..."

"You don't have to say it. I understand." Ju Yunxiu smacked her tongue, "So you have a lover. Where is she? It seems to have the aura of the Myriad Shinra Sect. It doesn't seem to suit you. Do you want me to introduce a better one for you?"

"This is not my lover." Qin Yi confidently stretched out his hand, "If you give me one, I won't need this handkerchief."

"That's not good. How can I just replace your love token with something else?"

Qin Yi said contemptuously, "Stingy."

Ju Yunxiu said, "What if I give you something and someone sees it and thinks that I'm your lover? You should refine your own enchanted tool."

"I suspect you are teasing me on purpose."

"Do you have any evidence?" Ju Yunxiu said, "Hurry up. I'm going to bed after picking your cave house. I've been wasting my sleep time by talking to you all morning."

Qin Yi pointed to the surrounding mountains, "Just tell me that these are cave houses of high quality, but you didn't introduce me anything. How do I choose?"

"Introduce?" Ju Yunxiu said contemptuously, "You haven't even stabilized your Piano Heart Stage. This area is full of Radiant Yang Stage cave houses. You can lay down in them casually and it is enough for you. You even have other requirements?"

"I'm… I'm fucking betraying the sect now!"

"Okay, okay, tell me what you need."

Qin Yi was stunned for a moment. He looked straight at her and said nothing.

I seemed to get carried away…  In fact, I don't have any requirement. The cave house of the ancient corpse is already a blessing to me...

Ju Yunxiu's expression became half-smiling, "Why... looking at your expression, you seem to be thinking 'any cave house is fine, but I want you'?"

Qin Yi took a few steps back anxiously, "No… it's not. I want cave house with earth fire."

"Earth fire... alchemy?" Ju Yunxiu pondered for a moment, then she pointed to the green mountain on the right. "That one. There are pine trees in front of the cave that can turn into attendants. Just ask him if you need anything."

After saying that, she ran away irresponsibly. It looked like she really wanted to go to bed.

Qin Yi was speechless. When she is serious, her immortal intent is high. But when she is acting weird, she will get unlimitedly funny. She is like several people squeezed into one body.

We have just met, so there is still a lot of time to get to know each other slowly.

He flew down and reached the middle of the mountain. There was a stone gate. There were two dwarf pine trees on the left and right of the stone gate, which looked like welcoming guests.

Seeing Qin Yi come down, the dwarf pine trees transformed into two big-headed attendants, "Please state your identity."

Qin Yi took out his token and said, "Senior Sister Yunxiu said that I will live in this peak from now on."

Both attendants bowed down and said, "Greetings to Peak Master."

"Don't mind the courtesy. My name is Qin Yi. Just call me by name. I don't care about anything. Peak Master is annoyed easily."

"Qing Feng, Ming Yue, greetings to… Mr. Qin."

"Your previous Peak Master must have a low culture."

Qing Feng and Ming Yue said nothing.

Qin Yi looked around and asked, "What peak is this? I need to know the number of my house."

"Oh, this is the ninety-first peak of Myriad Tao Immortal Palace. Right at the opposite of the medical, divination, scheming, and planning sect over there. The former peak master did not name it."

Qin Yi's face twitched, "Can I give it a name?"

"Sure."

Qin Yi looked up for a while, but he still felt that he joined too fast. He didn't have a sense of belonging as if he was just a passerby.

The truth was almost the same.

Ju Yunxiu obviously did not seriously regard him as a close junior apprentice but as a sect protector. Her intention was 'I give you resources, but you will fight for me'. After all, she couldn't do everything herself. Otherwise, her sense of superiority would be lost.

Qin Yi could even imagine how embarrassing it would be for the sects to exchange and compete with each other, and only Qing Cha was standing there... It was no wonder Ju Yunxiu wanted to invite him so much.

Rather than joining the sect, I'm more like a guest.

The feeling of leaving at any time is even stronger.

This is not my hometown.

He looked at the distant mountains and suddenly smiled, "Let's call it Mount Passerby."

Both attendants lowered their heads, "Understood."

There was a flash of golden light, and 2 big characters slowly appeared on the top of the mountain: Mount Passerby.

Qin Yi understood that these two attendants were actually the mountain spiritual beings here.

"Passerby?" Inside the main peak, Ju Yunxiu was lying on a soft couch and smiled softly, "Aren't we all passersby to this world?"
