Talisman Reincarnation - All My Clones Are Dao Ancestors-Chapter 152: Turtle Mountain

"Master, are we going to see the grandmaster?" Ye Long asked when he heard Fu Xian telling him they’d visit a senior.

"Master? Hmm... that senior lives on a mountain he named Turtle Mountain. He’s a rogue cultivator who cultivates quietly, but every year, he opens up his mountain for a single day.

During that day, he allows every cultivator who comes by to ask him one question.

I first met him when I was in the Qi Refining stage, just like you.

Later his help allowed me to smoothly break through to the Foundation Building stage.

I communicated with him several times and later, I was allowed to stay on the mountain as long as I wanted.

So, although he’s not my master, you could say he’s my teacher.

The senior is wise and knows a lot. The last time I saw him, he was at the late stage of the fourth stage. If you have a question, you might also ask him.

Although he’s not inept in talismans, he has a great memory and lived for many years.

He might have heard something I haven’t."

"Master, isn’t this senior very generous?"

"Indeed he is. But every time a person asks a question, they give him a bit of their fortune.

A question is worth as much as finding a spirit stone on the sideroad, he always said.

No one ever became unlucky since you could only ask a question once a year.

Even when I stayed on the mountain, I was only able to communicate normally, but asking for a question still required me to pay."

As they talked, Fu Xian was flying over mountains and rivers on top of a talisman.

The talisman was extremely large and looked like a flying carpet in the sky.

Second stage top grade talisman – Flying Paper Talisman.

The talisman would simply become several times larger and fly very fast.

Although its manoeuvrability is rather bad, because of its straight design, it’s very fast, faster than the normal flying speed of a third-stage cultivator.

They had entered the Tingle Kingdom today and directly left the capital.

In Fu Xian’s memories, the kingdom wasn’t very strong and besides the capital, most other cities were controlled locally by various forces.

He wasn’t very interested in such a matter, so he preferred to simply complete his goal before returning right away.

After three hours, Fu Xian saw a green mountain in the distance –

With limbs to the side and a turtle head facing him, it was the famous Turtle Mountain!

He saw many cultivators moving around the limbs, climbing up the mountain.

With a look of curiosity, he calculated the date.

"It seems we’re lucky. Today you will experience the occurrence that happens once a year on this mountain – the Turtle Questioning!" Fu Xian lowered his flight.

Putting on a talisman on his body, the aura of a third-stage cultivator fell, disguising as a second-stage cultivator among many. He put on another to conceal his appearance.

He turned to Ye Long and smiled, "You can ask your question honestly, I will too."

Ye Long nodded in excitement.

They landed a short while later and followed the procession down the road.

There was a long staircase of a thousand steps leading up one of the turtle’s front limbs.

At the back of the road, Fu Xian and Ye Long lined up as usual.

They heard people in front of them, Qi Refining cultivators, talking about this place.

"Do you think you can climb the turtle mountain and ask the venerable?" one of them asked.

"I don’t know... the previous year, I was still at the sixth-stage Qi Refining and reached the 600-step mark... maybe this year, with the seventh stage, I will be able to climb to the peak!"

"Heh, do you really think so?" one in front of them scoffed.

"Among Qi Refining cultivators, only those at the ninth stage can guarantee climbing the mountain! Some expert eight stage can also climb it if they start early in the morning.

As for seventh stage cultivators? Hehe, maybe if it’s a great genius that appears once every ten years, you might be able to climb it all the way. Anyone else can only listen to the questions from the 500-step mark onwards!

Although questions and answers are based on individuals, you can still hear the venerable speak some words at the start and end of the questionnaire!"

Ye Long become curious. He looked back to his master and saw that although people kept a distance, no one made space.

It was like seeing an opportunity in front of you – even if other cultivators were stronger, you still had to fight for a chance to enter!

And now hearing what this man said, it’s likely that they all thought Foundation Building cultivators would be able to enter easily, so cutting the line shouldn’t be necessary!

At the same time, this reflected the temper of the senior.

Only when such harmony exists can cultivators truly open up and ask questions that directly help them in their path.

Stepping forward, he asked the middle-aged cultivator who explained, "Say, if the se- venerable is so great, does he also take disciples from among the listeners?"

"Disciples?" the middle-aged man turned, about to laugh it off. But when he saw the person who asked – a young man at the peak of the late stage, just about to truly enter the peak of Qi Refining, he realised that such a person indeed had the right to ask.

Thinking for a short time, he replied, "The senior never accepted disciples in the past. Maybe some people ask it, but after so many years, no disciple was revealed. So rather than wasting your one question on this, it would be better to focus on your own cultivation."

Ye Long nodded then asked again, "After we got the answer, are we allowed to share it with others?"

"Share?" the middle-aged man was suddenly stumped.

Right... the venerable would seal off everything when you ask... but what about after?

Those around who heard it just shook their head. Some didn’t know, some knew. 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

The cultivation of rogue cultivators... is fraught with loneliness. Helping others wasn’t something they could think about.
