I Have A Dual World Seal-Chapter 641: Took the Wrong Path

Xu Xiuzhu and Zhan Feng were not weak, and together they provided Lu Zheng with more than two hundred strands of Light of Fortune.

Zhan Feng was stronger, but Xu Xiuzhu provided more Light of Fortune, showing that everyone's fortune is not determined solely by strength.

"Tsk tsk, how terrifying, what's the difference between this cultivation technique and a vampire?"

Lu Zheng rode on the horse, wobbling along while reading the booklet in his hand.

"Blood Transformation and Yang Refining Technique."

It absorbs a martial artist's Qi and blood, converts it into Extreme Yang Qi Blood, refines it into the body, and transforms it into True Qi. The advantage is fast cultivation and strong True Qi, with high combat effectiveness. The disadvantage is difficulty in purification, damage to the meridians, harm to the foundation, and aftereffects.

While Zhan Feng gave Xu Xiuzhu a cultivation technique from the Flower Cloud Sect, Yin Yang Replenishment, which can greatly improve the various aftereffects of the "Blood Transformation and Yang Refining Technique," complementing each other's advantages.

Of course, both are actually heterodox cultivation techniques. The so-called complementing each other is just robbing Peter to pay Paul; it appears to fill the gaps but only postpones the hidden dangers.

The deeper the cultivation, the greater the hidden dangers. If you want to dominate for a while, that's possible. But to rely on it for long life, fear you're thinking too much.

"What a pity!" Lu Zheng took a second cultivation technique in his hand, "Flower Picking Secret Record," shook his head and sighed, "It's just the most ordinary technique, making it hard for me to glimpse the true essence of the Flower Cloud Sect!"

Shen Ying's face turned red, "What's there to see in this thing!"

This cultivation technique was also found on Xu Xiuzhu, probably given by Zhan Feng. Lu Zheng even invited Shen Ying to look together. Curious, she couldn't resist Lu Zheng's temptation and ended up flipping through it.

Then, before reaching halfway, she tossed the book to Lu Zheng, refusing to look further.

"The Flower Cloud Sect has been passed down for over a thousand years, there's got to be something extraordinary about it," Lu Zheng laughed.

Shen Ying shook her head, "Not a thousand years. This sect was founded at the end of the previous dynasty by an abandoned disciple of a Daoist sect, combined with some heterodox techniques. They claimed to surpass the Dual Cultivation Sect, but ended up on a mistaken path."

Lu Zheng widened his eyes, "You know even that?"

Shen Ying giggled, "It's not a very secretive piece of news. As long as you read more books instead of always listening to storytellers, you can easily learn a lot of common knowledge."

Lu Zheng rubbed his fingers, "Aren't you itching for a spanking again?"

Shen Ying rolled her eyes flirtatiously, "Is Lu Lang interested in trying out this 'Flower Picking Secret Record'?"

Lu Zheng clapped the book in hand, "You think if I return this book to the Flower Cloud Sect, I might exchange it for a true transmission cultivation technique?"

Shen Ying was speechless, "Aren't you afraid they'll just keep you there?"

Lu Zheng rubbed his chin, "The Flower Cloud Sect doesn't seem that strong, does it?"

Shen Ying was taken aback, "Do you want to wipe them out too? They are a major sect with centuries of heritage in the Southern Border, and not so easily dealt with."

Lu Zheng nodded, realizing that this "Flower Picking Secret Record" had too many flaws, causing him to underestimate the Flower Cloud Sect.

That was not appropriate; their Cloud Technique did have its unique aspects, one shouldn't be arrogant.

...

The two passed through Yanzhou, entered Yu State, and then traversed the northern path of Zhongyang Dao, finally entering the Guanglin Dao region.

"We're in Zuozhou now. Both Feiyu Mountain and Cloud Ascending Mountain are in the Guanglin Dao Jingzhou domain, further west," Shen Ying said.

"It's getting late; let's find an inn in the town ahead and stay the night," Lu Zheng suggested.

The junction of Zhongyang Dao, Guanglin Dao, and Lingbei Dao is mountainous. Although not as steep as the various terrains in Chuandong Dao, it's not easy to traverse. Huang Feng and Ta Xue were worn out, snorting frequently, upon just emerging from the mountains.

Lu Zheng patted the horse, took some yellow beans from a gourd, and fed each of Huang Feng and Ta Xue a few bites. He then yanked the reins, and the two horses trotted westward.

They ran for half a day, covering a dozen miles; the mountain path became narrower, but the trees around grew taller.

Lu Zheng tugged the reins, "Did we take the wrong path?"

Shen Ying looked up at the sky, then at the path ahead, "The direction isn't wrong. There were indeed several forks in the road earlier; perhaps we deviated and didn't get on the official road, but ended up on a small path?"

"Awkward..."

Lu Zheng scratched his nose, "Should we turn back?"

Shen Ying laughed, "Let's continue. The direction is correct; at worst, we'll just detour a bit."

Lu Zheng nodded, "Alright!"

At most, we just took the wrong path, then simply carry the horses flying over a few mountain peaks to return, no big deal?

The two continued forward, with the sun setting. As the light faded and with the high mountains and dense forests, the sky quickly darkened.

Meanwhile, the mountain path beneath them became slightly wider, as if someone had deliberately maintained it. Then, Lu Zheng and Shen Ying heard a commotion ahead, along with voices. 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

The two exchanged a glance, and evidently, the people on the other side also heard the horse's hoofbeats from this side. Their voices paused, and then someone said, "We are the Golden Light Three Saints Celestial Master. Who are you newcomers? State your names!"

Golden Light Three Saints Celestial Master?

Lu Zheng and Shen Ying looked at each other in astonishment; it sounded quite high-end!

Lu Zheng replied loudly, "We are husband and wife, traveling the martial world, probably took the wrong path and missed our intended stop, inadvertently ending up here."

A voice on the opposite side spoke, "Wow, in this mountainous and dense forest, you didn't die even after getting lost?"

Another voice chimed in, "Come over; you're lucky to encounter us as we subdue demons and exorcise evil!"

Lu Zheng and Shen Ying looked at each other, then spurred their horses, quickly riding past the wooded area and onto the path ahead.

Then, a villa nestled by the forest appeared before them.

The villa had black tiles, white walls, green bricks, and red lamps. There were no fallen leaves on the tiles, and the cobblestone path was polished, appearing neat and elegant, serene and pleasant.

However, the main gate was tightly shut, surrounded by grotesque trees. With the sun setting, shadows fell ominously, adding an eerie and sinister feeling.

Across from the villa's mountain path, three middle-aged men with a mixed Daoist-Buddhist look, adorned with various items, approached from another mountain path.

"Oh? What a fine couple!"

"They have swords hanging on their horses. Seems like a Martial Artist, no wonder they dare to travel the mountain paths with a lady in tow."

"They've got courage, all right. There are spirits in the mountain, adept at spells. Mere martial arts might not be enough to ensure safety."

The three Celestial Masters approached, gazing at Lu Zheng and Shen Ying.

Lu Zheng and Shen Ying dismounted, exchanging introductions with the three Celestial Masters.

The Grand Celestial Master, Extreme Celestial Master.

The Second Celestial Master, Earth-Taming Celestial Master.

The Third Celestial Master, Form-man Celestial Master.

The Extreme Celestial Master carried a frame upon which a cloth was draped, concealing something unknown underneath.

The Earth-Taming Celestial Master had four swords strapped to his back, each of different designs, looking unique.

The Form-man Celestial Master carried a large bag that jingled with every step, as if filled with numerous bottles and jars.
