Daoist Competition-Chapter 235 - 86 Mountains and Rivers Cloud Scroll: Jade Scroll Seeks Disciples_2

This middle scroll has only thirty-two pages. Although there are fewer Erosion Texts, the content is even deeper, but this is not a problem for him. Hence, as he continued to read, he appeared unhurried, without any sense of urgency, and coupled with his extraordinary appearance, he exuded a calm and composed grace.

In less than a quarter of an hour, he broke through the Prohibition of the middle scroll one by one.

However, he did not notice that at this moment, Chen Tong’s face was changeable, as if pondering something.

When Zhang Yan was about to seize the momentum and start reading the lower scroll, Chen Tong suddenly shouted, "Enough!"

He jumped up abruptly, snatched the scroll from Zhang Yan’s hands, and rushed out. Although the small pavilion was surrounded by clouds and mist, there was no obstacle as he exited.

The incident happened suddenly, and the two beautiful maids behind him did not know what was happening. However, they did not dare to act rudely, and after a quick courtesy, they hurriedly followed him out.

Zhang Yan’s face remained calm, as if he was not surprised by this at all.

As he continued to read the "Chi Long True Scroll," he realized it must be an excellent cultivation method. The upper and middle volumes described the spell for cultivating from Ming Qi to Xuan Guang, while the lower volume, which he hadn’t had a chance to read, was presumably about the Dharma technique for solidifying the Golden Core.

Since he had the "Taiyin Golden Book" in his possession, he naturally had no desire for this Dao technique.

But Chen Tong, unaware of his background, was naturally unwilling for his family’s Dharma technique to be seen by him. Zhang Yan had anticipated this, for otherwise, how could Chen Tong, with his mere Ming Qi, take anything from his hands?

He thought to himself, "It’s just a pity for that Minor Divine Power at the end. I had wanted to take a peek to see what it was about."

Pu Yuzi watched Chen Tong leave and chuckled, "Since Brother Chen has left, he voluntarily gave up on this opportunity. I have three Dharma Treasures here for you to choose from freely."

Zhang Yan took a breath, stood up, and without much thought, picked up the "Mountain and River One Qi Cloud Scroll" and placed it directly into his sleeve bag. Then he cupped his hands towards Pu Yuzi, saying, "Thank you, senior, for the generous gift."

Pu Yuzi waved his hand, "Don’t thank me. I don’t give things to you for no reason. Now that you’ve taken the Dharma Treasure, you must fulfill a matter for me."

Zhang Yan solemnly said, "Naturally."

This is the rule of Bu Tian House. If you take my things, you must do something for me. Even if you now return the items, you must still complete this task. If you wish to back out, being one of the Ten Great Profound Sects, naturally, there will be trouble from Bu Tian House.

Pu Yuzi stroked his beard, "You took the Mountain and River Map; you must have the ambition to traverse the Four Seas, right?"

Zhang Yan nodded, "Senior is correct. I am now at the Xuan Guang realm and indeed wish to travel the world, gathering what is needed to forge the Golden Core."

Pu Yuzi murmured, "That’s good. My troublesome matter is just suitable for you to handle. I’ve traveled across East Splendor Continent for a hundred years, seeing all the wonders and sceneries. Now I have a mind to visit Donglai Continent. Still, as the Old Daoist, I haven’t received a disciple, so I need you to help me find a descendant with excellent roots to inherit my teachings."

Zhang Yan was taken aback, musing, "It’s not that I’m shirking, but I truly don’t know what kind of disciple Bu Tian House is looking for."

Pu Yuzi laughed heartily, "When have you ever heard of Bu Tian House being difficult? I’m giving you this item, so naturally, you don’t have to exert much effort."

He shook his wrist, and a green Jade Scroll fell in front of Zhang Yan.

Pu Yuzi pointed at it, saying, "I don’t require much from you. As you travel, just keep this Jade Scroll with you. If you encounter a suitable person within a hundred steps, this Jade Scroll will naturally produce a singular phenomenon, revealing a mantra. You only need to hand this mantra to the suitable person and find a way to have them learn it."

Zhang Yan pondered briefly, "Since it can reveal itself, how many times can this Jade Scroll be used?"

Pu Yuzi narrowed his eyes slightly, "I’m lazy and only wish to accept one disciple to pass on the Daoist inheritance. Anymore is useless."

Zhang Yan raised an eyebrow, "Senior, if this person is already a disciple of another sect or unwilling to cultivate, then what?"

Pu Yuzi waved his sleeve, laughing, "Then that’s your affair. I don’t care whether you capture or coerce them; as long as the Dharma Technique is handed to my obedient disciple, it’s fine."

Zhang Yan knew there was no way to shirk this task, and if he did encounter such a situation, it would be fine to think of a solution then. With a smile, he said no more, raised his sleeve, and collected the Jade Scroll. Then, he stood up and said, "I still have important matters, so I won’t disturb senior’s quiet cultivation any longer."

Pu Yuzi closed his eyes and said, "Then the old Daoist will wait for the fellow Daoist to find the suitable disciple for me." freeωebnovēl.c૦m

Zhang Yan clasped his hands to say farewell. At the small pavilion’s exit, he turned his head with a smile and said, "Luo Daoist, shall we talk as we walk?"

Luo Zhenzhen, being naturally innocent and naive, felt bored listening to Zhang Yan and Pu Yuzi’s dialogue earlier, lost in thought, hands resting on fragrant cheeks. Upon hearing Zhang Yan call her, she stood up with a surprised "Ah," her cheeks slightly flushed. She bowed to Pu Yuzi, saying, "Senior, Zhenzhen must take her leave too."

Pu Yuzi’s eyes slightly opened, and he chuckled, "Off you go, off you go."

Once they stepped out of the small pavilion, Zhang Yan turned back to see that where they once stood was now empty, with not a trace of anything left, evidently showing Pu Yuzi’s tremendous Divine Skills, having moved in an instant to an unknown location.

However, just at this moment, Zhang Yan seemed to sense something. He looked up to the sky.

In the high sky, the cloud layer rolled incessantly, finally spreading outwards to reveal a Flying Carriage of unknown origin. Standing on it was Chen Tong, who had just left not long ago. He pointed downwards, saying, "Uncle Qi, it’s them."

A middle-aged cultivator with cold eyes stood beside him, glancing at Zhang Yan and Luo Zhenzhen, then said, "Since you’ve seen the treasure scroll, you may not leave. Will you end yourselves, or shall I lay my hand?"
