Peach Blossom Divine Medical God-Chapter 1822 - 1816: Daoist Sect Secrets

"When I was young, I also spent time at Dragon Tiger Mountain. Although those fellows respected me as their martial uncle and treated me with deference, I knew it was nothing more than being under someone else’s roof. So, I decided to explore the world and select a feng shui blessed land to reopen a sect and strengthen our lineage!"

As Liu Taoist spoke, his expression suddenly became melancholic. He picked up the wine glass from the table and drank it all at once, then looked at Chen Yang: "Now you know why I could relocate the Dao Ancestor’s statue and instead enshrine the cattail hassock, right?"

"Because strictly speaking, our lineage’s ancestor is Ancestor Chi Yunzi and not the Dao Ancestor of Lion Tiger Mountain."

Listening to Liu Taoist’s account, Chen Yang was deeply shocked. If he hadn’t heard it straight from Liu Taoist himself, he wouldn’t have known that there was such a thing in the Daoist sect.

He also wouldn’t have known that at the founding of the Daoist sect, there were actually two ancestors.

One was the Dao Ancestor, the other Chi Yunzi.

"I understand now. No wonder Chi Yunzi’s dojo was at Lion Tiger Mountain, and the people of Lion Tiger Observatory were unaware; it wasn’t their heritage." Chen Yang nodded in comprehension.

"Hehe, our lineage’s heritage was severed seven hundred years ago. Honestly, I also don’t know where our ancestral dojo is, but I didn’t expect you to discover it first and even bring out the cattail hassock used by the ancestor. Perhaps this was destined by fate." Liu Taoist suddenly laughed, picked up the wine glass on the table, and drank again.

Chen Yang no longer spoke, and at this moment, he was pondering whether to tell Liu Taoist that the formation he had asked about a few days ago was actually from Chi Yunzi’s ancient cave.

If Liu Taoist found out, would it cause trouble?

After all, Lion Tiger Mountain is now the territory of Lion Tiger Observatory. If they knew Liu Taoist went back to receive the heritage, they might want a share of the benefits, which would be quite disadvantageous.

But if he didn’t say it, he’d feel guilty.

After much deliberation and hesitation, he finally chose to reveal the situation to Liu Taoist.

Liu Taoist’s reaction was intense!

"What? The formation you showed me last time is from the Red Cloud Cave Mansion?" Liu Taoist slapped the table, stood up, and stared at Chen Yang with wide eyes.

"Yes, there’s a Bronze Great Hall at the top of Chi Yunzi’s ancient cave, and the formation is inside." Chen Yang nodded, confirming it.

"That must be the heritage of our lineage! The formation set by the ancestor to ensure the transmission of heritage!" Liu Taoist immediately asserted with certainty.

Chen Yang nodded in agreement: "It’s quite possible."

"Hahaha!!" Liu Taoist suddenly laughed, almost maniacally, looking up at the sky and shouting, "Heaven hasn’t forsaken our lineage! Ancestor, if you have a spirit in heaven, please be at ease. As a descendant, I will surely prosper our lineage."

Liu Taoist was so elated that he completely lost his composure.

He even started gesticulating, jumping up and down.

Chen Yang had never seen him like this before.

However, upon reflection, Liu Taoist’s greatest aspiration was to revive his lineage. Now that he knew the ancestor left behind heritage for his lineage, giving him hope for revival, such a reaction was quite normal.

Liu Taoist was extremely excited, and it took more than ten minutes for him to calm down slightly.

"Young friend Chen Yang! I’ll need your help with this matter." Once Liu Taoist had calmed down, he suddenly looked at Chen Yang and said.

Chen Yang was startled: "My help?"

"Yes! I need you to accompany me to Lion Tiger Mountain! I must accept the ancestor’s heritage to revive our lineage!" Liu Taoist said with determination.

"Of course, this trip won’t be in vain for you. Once I’ve accepted the heritage, I’ll definitely be able to decipher the formation! By then, you can choose any three cultivation techniques as a reward."

Liu Taoist was very sincere and offered benefits, leaving Chen Yang with no room to refuse.

However, Chen Yang found it inexplicable why Liu Taoist needed him to accompany him to accept the heritage. Why not go with fellow clan members from Lion Tiger Mountain?

After all, he was an outsider...

"Old man, it’s not a problem for me to go with you, but your fellow clan members at Lion Tiger Mountain..." Chen Yang, without needing to be overly polite with Liu Taoist, voiced his doubts immediately.

Liu Taoist seemed to understand what Chen Yang wanted to say, smiling faintly: "Am I not familiar with those old fellows? Although they are of the same clan and supportive of my ideals, if they knew I was going back to inherit the heritage, they might also want to take advantage."

"My life’s greatest dream is not only to revive but also to surpass their lineage, so naturally, I cannot return alone."

Listening to Liu Taoist, Chen Yang couldn’t help but chuckle.

Why such competition between fellow clan members?

At this moment, Chen Yang could finally understand the helpless sigh of the Green Robe Elder earlier today.

"Young friend Chen Yang, will you accompany me on this journey? With your high cultivation, those old fellows wouldn’t dare to be too unreasonable. Besides, with my rank as an uncle, there shouldn’t be any issues." Liu Taoist quickly invited Chen Yang again after explaining.

Chen Yang had no reason to refuse.

"Alright, I can go with you."

"Then it’s settled. We must set off immediately!" Liu Taoist decided to leave as soon as Chen Yang agreed.

"So soon?" Chen Yang felt it was too sudden. Some preparations should be made beforehand, considering they didn’t know how long this journey would take.

However, Liu Taoist couldn’t wait any longer.

"Yes, we must leave at once. Didn’t you say last time there were people from Lion Tiger Observatory who had entered the ancestral dojo? I reckon they already know about the heritage by now."

"With such a great treasure trove, do you think they can resist studying it? If we delay, those fellows may seize it first."

Liu Taoist was in a hurry, speaking while packing up everything he deemed useful.

Though Chen Yang didn’t want to depart in such haste, Liu Taoist made a valid point.

The people from Lion Tiger Observatory would surely revisit for further investigation, so they had to act quickly.

Thus, Chen Yang agreed. After a quick preparation and arrangement, he set out overnight to head back to Lion Tiger Mountain.

Lion Tiger Mountain is several hundred kilometers away from Liuhe Village. Driving all night, Chen Yang reached the location by noon the next day.

Without even having a bite to eat, Liu Taoist pulled him up the mountain, directly to Lion Tiger Observatory at the summit!

Coincidentally, in the conference hall of Lion Tiger Observatory, all the key elders had gathered, seemingly discussing something important.

"Taoist Master! The Sect Leader is meeting with the elders inside; you cannot enter." 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

Upon reaching the hall entrance, a young Taoist blocked Chen Yang and Liu Taoist’s path.

Chen Yang thought they should show some courtesy upon arriving on someone else’s turf.

But to his surprise, though Liu Taoist had no cultivation, his manner was overbearing.

He brushed the young Taoist’s blocking hand aside.

"Move aside. Do you know who I am? Saying I can’t enter. By seniority, you should be calling me Grand Master; even your Sect Leader should call me Uncle." Liu Taoist berated, leaving the young Taoist dumbfounded.

Liu Taoist then led Chen Yang boldly into the hall.
