I Have A Dual World Seal-Chapter 463: Living Together

"Primordial Saint Sect?" Lu Zheng squinted his eyes.

If Duan Changzai hadn’t mentioned it, he would have almost forgotten about this sect.

The Primordial Saint Sect was one of the earliest Southern Border sects to appear in Lu Zheng’s sight. However, its geographical location is further southwest, far from places like Peach Mother Divine Mountain and Dingfeng Mountain, so even though he had been to the Southern Border a few times, he had never encountered or heard of it.

The leader of the Primordial Saint Sect practices ancient witchcraft. Within the sect, there is a type of person called the Holy Maiden, who can perform a technique called "Holy Maiden’s Descend Technique," which involves transferring the soul into a body with accumulated merit to offset the aftereffects of the soul transfer, allowing them to live another life.

Of course, this cannot be frequently used to achieve immortality, as each time it depletes the Divine Soul and Power. Among the Holy Maidens throughout history, the most any has successfully performed this technique is three times, with the fourth attempt leading to the destruction of the Divine Soul.

Even so, living an additional two or three lifetimes is already remarkable. Combined with their high cultivation, they can generally live three to four hundred years, so even with losses in subsequent lifetimes, they have a millennium lifespan, surpassing some Great Demons and even more powerful Abnormal People.

What is there to be dissatisfied with?

Lu Zheng frowned and asked, "Is another Holy Maiden from the Primordial Saint Sect about to die and needs to transfer her soul? Just how many Holy Maidens does this sect have? If they keep accumulating like this, wouldn’t they already be the number one sect in the Southern Border?"

Duan Changzai laughed and waved his hand, "No way, that’s impossible. This time, it’s still that same Holy Maiden, and actually, there have never been more than two handfuls of Holy Maidens in the Primordial Saint Sect."

"Still not dead?" Lu Zheng raised an eyebrow and then added, "So few?"

Duan Changzai couldn’t help but laugh, "If the Holy Maidens of the Primordial Saint Sect waited until they were about to die to find a Furnace, they would’ve been wiped out long ago. After all, only a few can cultivate the Holy Maiden’s witchcraft of the Primordial Saint Sect, let alone find a body with the merit needed for transfer, as they also need to continue cultivating after transferring."

As for the small number, that’s because cultivating this witchcraft requires qualifications and talents that are not consistent with ordinary cultivation techniques, being ancient witchcraft, and the specifics I’m not too clear on."

"I see," Lu Zheng nodded, indicating understanding.

"Last time the Primordial Saint Sect sent people, we captured and killed some, but a portion escaped back. There have been sightings in several southern regions since, which means they didn’t find suitable people last time and had to send people deep into the Central Plains again."

Duan Changzai looked at Lu Zheng, "Miss Liu and Lady Qingyi are well-known in the southern regions, so if the Primordial Saint Sect’s wizards aren’t deaf, they will surely hear and inquire all the way here. The ones coming this time likely have some skills, so please be more cautious, Younger Brother Lu."

Lu Zheng nodded and cupped his hands in thanks, "I understand, thank you for the reminder, Brother Duan!"

Duan Changzai waved off his thanks, "No need, just a mention, as is proper."

Saying this, Duan Changzai laughed again, "But considering Younger Brother Lu’s current cultivation, as long as you are careful, if a Primordial Saint Sect wizard comes again, it might just be a chance for you to earn more merit."

Hearing this, Lu Zheng also laughed and escorted Duan Changzai to the door, cupping his hands to say goodbye.

Shen Ying had been by Lu Zheng’s side, watching Duan Changzai leave. She said softly, "During this period, I’ll stay with Qingyan."

Lu Zheng nodded, a flash in his eyes, "And Yueyao. Yueyao’s merit now is no less than what Qingyan had before."

Du Yueyao had lived in Tonglin County for over a year, except for monthly visits to Yizhou to see her family, she had almost made Tonglin County her home, and Lu Zheng and Liu Qingyan treated her like a sister.

Although in theory Du Yueyao’s qualifications were not considered high, it couldn’t be overlooked.

Shen Ying nodded, "I’ll assign three Peach Blossom Celestial Maidens to invisibly protect her. If something happens, they can create a commotion."

Lu Zheng nodded, "Let’s go to Renxin Hall and have lunch together at noon."

...

Renxin Hall.

With limited patients, Liu Qingyan and Du Yueyao were diagnosing patients, while Elder Liu was sent to the side to drink tea and read, with nothing to do.

"Lu Lang~ Sister~"

"Brother Lu! Sister Shen!"

"Seems it’s not too busy today?" Lu Zheng observed that there was only one patient in the clinic, with Liu Qingyan diagnosing and Du Yueyao learning on the side.

"Yes, there were a few patients earlier, but they’ve already been prescribed and have gone home."

Du Yueyao quickly stood up, smiling as she welcomed the two in, and served them tea and water.

"That’s great, let’s have lunch together at noon." Just as Lu Zheng finished speaking, Liu Qingquan came in with Liu San, carrying a food box.

"What, lunch together?" Liu Qingquan’s eyes sparkled, "Brother-in-law, are you going to cook personally?"

Even though Lu Zheng had honed his cooking skills to the level of a state banquet chef, he understood rarity adds value, so he usually only supplied vegetables and seasonings without cooking often.

Thus, hearing that Lu Zheng was planning to cook, Liu Qingquan’s mouth watered.

"Of course... not!" Lu Zheng laughed, lightly tapping Liu Qingquan’s forehead, "We’re going to Bright Moon Building for lunch. The lotus leaf roasted chicken there is quite good. Wanna go?"

"Yes, yes, yes!" Liu Qingquan nodded repeatedly.

So, the lunch they brought was finished off by the staff at the clinic, Elder Liu decided not to travel and stayed behind to chat with Liu San, while Lu Zheng led the four women to Bright Moon Building.

...

Bright Moon Building, private room.

As various dishes were served, everyone ate while Lu Zheng shared the details about the Primordial Saint Sect with them.

The main focus was, of course, on Liu Qingyan and Du Yueyao.

Du Yueyao only then realized that they had experienced a sneak attack from the Primordial Saint Sect wizards in the past.

And now, she was unexpectedly involved in an event from the cultivation world.

This was simply thrilling!

Du Yueyao’s eyes lit up, as she excitedly yet fearfully said, "No worries, Brother Lu and Sister Liu have become much stronger than before, and with Sister Shen here, why would we fear a Southern Border wizard?"

Du Yueyao blinked her little eyes looking at Lu Zheng, "Right?"

"Right... my foot!"

Lu Zheng rolled his eyes, "The Primordial Saint Sect is a major sect in its own right; we can’t underestimate them. Besides, they have the Skin Painting Technique and Breath Concealment Technique. Given the chance, they could snatch you away instantly."

Du Yueyao: (⊙o⊙)

This time, truly a bit scared, Du Yueyao unconsciously clung to Liu Qingyan’s arm.

"Yueyao, don’t be scared. Maybe you could stay with the Liu Family for a while," Liu Qingyan suggested after some thought.

Du Yueyao’s eyes lit up at the suggestion, and she nodded quickly, "Alright, alright!"

She would love that!

"Uh..."

Lu Zheng blinked, thought for a moment, and didn’t object.

After all, he might not always be around, and with Shen Ying added, Du Yueyao and Liu Qingyan being together made protection more convenient.

"Good!" Lu Zheng nodded.

However, this was just a temporary fix; the real solution was to find and eliminate the people from the Primordial Saint Sect.

Unfortunately, the experts in the Primordial Saint Sect were numerous, and unlike the obvious weaknesses of Peach Mother Divine Mountain, even if we had a preemptive strike, the opponents’ experts could escape in an instant.

Hmm, whether true experts fear such strikes is another question.
