Eternal Life Starts as a Hunter-Chapter 348 - 136: Buried in the Mountain, Awaiting Harvest, the Emperor’s Truth

Chapter 348: Chapter 136: Buried in the Mountain, Awaiting Harvest, the Emperor’s Truth

He wasn’t a good person, but he wasn’t a bad one either. He was simply someone trying to live well with his family in this world.

"In the end, we still have to wait for the seeds to mature."

After laughing, he sighed again.

However, over the past year or so, he didn’t come away empty-handed.

First, his power was consolidated, with the support of the forces from Mianzhou Path, and Tang Nian’s development on the Cloud Mountain Path was going quite smoothly, giving him a way out.

Secondly, he gained insight into the process of "seed growth", and with this insight, he could purposefully hasten the ripening of the seeds.

The next day, early in the morning.

He bid farewell to the five young knights, and upon reaching a desolate mountain, he removed his clothes and took off the ordinary knife from his waist. After a moment of thought, he leaped into the air and wrote "Zhang Xiu buried here" in the void on the cliff beside him.

Amidst the flying stone fragments, Li Yuan gracefully landed, tossed the knife and clothes into the pit, and erected a tomb for clothes and crown. Then he looked up at those six words on the cliff again.

The six words, with silver hooks and iron strokes, were full of overwhelming momentum. If descendants came here to gain some insight from these words, it would also be considered a fortuitous encounter.

The wind was leisurely, the clouds were leisurely, the sunlight was falling...

Li Yuan laughed heartily and turned around freely.

Thus, the knight’s life came to a pause.

...

...

Excluding the "Thousand-Mile Knight Visualization" which couldn’t be achieved through practice, Li Yuan also ruled out the "South Mountain Ghost Rain Visualization".

Because the kind of mental realm within the "Demon Blade" was really hard for him to align with.

What remained was the "Gentleman Riding a Deer Visualization".

This image represented a calm and carefree state of mind, which aligned best with his mental realm.

But upon closer thought, it wasn’t entirely so.

He did not possess that kind of nonchalant detachment, beyond worldly concerns.

Thinking this, Li Yuan was speechless.

It seemed that besides honing his weapon forging skills, the next step would be to hasten the maturity of the seeds.

He ultimately had to promote the cultivation skill he created so that... he could speed up his progress to the next stage.

...

...

After returning, Li Yuan stayed in the Divine Wood Hall Inner City for a while.

Outside, all kinds of brutal battle reports came in.

All he needed to do was forge weapons.

Later, when he wanted to openly leave again, he couldn’t.

The city gate guards said they received orders from above, prohibiting Master Li from leaving the city.

Li Yuan was instantly furious. The guards looked pitiable and almost knelt down to beg him to return.

Li Yuan didn’t want to make things difficult for these young guys, so he returned. After all, if he really wanted to leave, these people couldn’t stop him, nor could they even notice.

Soon, Gu Xuejian rushed over.

The Divine Wood Hall asked a familiar Vice Hall Master to find him, indicating their "soft" attitude.

Gu Xuejian said, "Li Yuan, you are now an important Weapon Forger in the sect. So, you can’t live behind the First Gate anymore.

The core area behind the Triple Gate has already prepared a residence for you. You can move there and even see Ping’an often.

Ping’an... he misses you too."

Previously, Gu Xuejian was worried that Li Yuan would affect Ping’an’s practice, but the situation was different now.

Yet Li Yuan still refused decisively.

He certainly wanted to see Xiao Ping’an, but he couldn’t bring his Jade Remains daughter into a dangerous place.

Xiao Ping’an would be fine in the Inner City, but Xiaozhao was different.

Xiao Ping’an missing them would at most cause a bit of crying.

But if something happened to Xiaozhao, it would be irreparable.

He wouldn’t take any risks.

So, he said, "I’m used to living outside, I don’t want to go into the city."

Gu Xuejian said, "There’s a chance of spies mixing into the area behind the First Gate. What if someone from the Lotus Thieves or the Black Lotus organization sneaks into the city to carry out a beheading plan against you? What then?"

Li Yuan laughed freely, saying, "How can a great man be born in the world and act timidly?

If so, my spirit wouldn’t be at ease.

If my spirit is not at ease, I can’t forge spiritual artifacts."

Gu Xuejian’s eyes lit up. She just appreciated this kind of "heroic spirit".

And for Li Yuan, who experienced the "White-clothed Blade King role-playing", his grasp of "heroic spirit" reached a level of "genuine expression". This was also an unexpected gain.

But Gu Xuejian thought for a moment and said, "Is it because I said something unpleasant before, saying you and Xiao Ping’an are not people from the same world anymore, that you’re still angry?"

Without waiting for an answer, she stepped back two steps, smiling and bowing, saying, "If that’s the case, Xuejian apologizes to Master Li. Xuejian was blind, not recognizing Master Li as a genuine person who hides his true self."

She spoke frankly and openly.

She was straightforward by nature. If an apology, a bow, could exchange for the stability of the Divine Wood Hall, then why not?

Li Yuan shook his head, saying, "Of course not, Lady Hall Master, don’t underestimate me."

Gu Xuejian thought again and said, "Isn’t the hall just worried about your safety? Why... do you just not want to? Everyone else is eager to get behind the Triple Gate, but you don’t."

Li Yuan laughed and said, "All those things are great, but I simply don’t like them."

Gu Xuejian was taken aback, the brilliance in her eyes growing more intense, clapping her hands in praise, "Well said! In our line of work, it should be about openly pursuing vendettas and kindness!

I was wondering where Xiao Ping’an got his overwhelming heroic spirit.

It turns out he learned it from his father, haha."

Li Yuan was taken aback, asking, "How is that kid overflowing with heroic spirit? Lady Hall Master, could you tell me?"

He silently thought, ’That brat, I even taught him the "Stability Scripture", how could he still be full of heroic spirit?’

Gu Xuejian pulled up a chair.

Li Yuan then raised his hand and called, "Xiaozhu, bring the wine!"

After calling a few times, it wasn’t Xiaozhu who emerged, but a long-legged maid.
