The No.1 Undercover in the Immortal World-Chapter 118 Righteous Path and Demonic Path
Lin Yun left Hu Yuling’s courtyard but didn’t head straight back to his own cabin, instead, he went to look for Fang Yu.
Having accepted Hu Yuling’s gift, regardless, he felt it was only right to let Fang Yu know.
Who knows, when Hu Yuling takes on a disciple, Fang Yu might need to return the favor.
He was completely unaware that Hu Yuling was imagining that they had reached a non-interference agreement while simultaneously plotting against him.
The whole show was performed by her alone.
When Lin Yun arrived outside the main hall of Purple Cloud Mountain, he didn’t have the privilege to enter, so he had a guarding disciple pass along a message and after a short wait, he received a reply.
"The Sect Master is busy with affairs, she asks you to return first."
Having not seen Fang Yu, Lin Yun didn’t mind too much.
Thinking about it made sense, as the leader of the Sword Sect, Fang Yu had many matters to deal with at this time.
Only then did Lin Yun return to his dwelling, where upon introspection he saw Xiao Qing diligently absorbing and expelling Spiritual Energy.
If even a snake can be so hardworking, what reason do I have to be lazy!
Lin Yun decided to embark on Divine Cultivation.
Flower Fairy: ...
Even after returning to Guanghan Palace, why can’t I escape?
Having no choice, the Flower Fairy went into seclusion.
Since there was no way to resist, the only option was to cooperate fully.
The Cultivation Maniac Flower Fairy’s favorability increased.
While Lin Yun was engaged in Divine Cultivation, the Golden Thunderbolt inside his Dantian stirred once again.
Although Lin Yun had promised to release it, staying in one place for too long was boring, and it felt unsatisfying not to move around a bit.
This movement caused the Chaos Pearl to flicker with golden light.
Xiao Qing, who was in the process of absorbing and expelling Spiritual Energy, was once again drawn to this golden pearl.
It had been curious since yesterday, but at that time, it felt the pearl was very dangerous and didn’t dare to get close, but now, the feeling of danger had substantially diminished.
To this sphere that lived with it, suddenly glowing occasionally, the Azure Dragon Gu Worm was also extremely curious.
Its intelligence was limited, so it could only think through its own understanding.
Before, it thought this pearl was an inanimate object, like the Fire Lotus beside it, but now it seemed that the pearl could move. 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂
Could it be, it was the same kind as itself?
Before the Azure Dragon Gu Worm hatched, it was similar to an inanimate object, requiring the absorption of its host’s Spiritual Energy to grow.
With this thought, the Azure Dragon Gu Worm reluctantly spat out a drop of Golden Spiritual Liquid.
This was its ration for the day.
Missing one drop didn’t matter much, it had already grown fast enough. If it could help this companion to hatch quickly, they could work together to circulate Spiritual Energy for their master.
The more Spiritual Liquid the master had, the more it would have to consume!
This drop of Golden Spiritual Liquid belonged to Xiao Qing, thus it could control it, but all the Spiritual Liquid in this entire Qi Sea, although Xiao Qing’s home, would be indigestible for it without Lin Yun’s consent.
The moment this drop of Spiritual Liquid touched the Chaos Pearl, the pearl absorbed it within. The Golden Thunderbolt crackling with sparks smelled the scent and became immediately exhilarated.
Pure Merit Force!
This was exactly what it needed to restore its power.
The Golden Thunderbolt didn’t hesitate to absorb the drop of Spiritual Liquid, and its golden glow shone even more brilliantly.
It wanted more!
"This Spiritual Liquid infused with Merit Force must be the one that person brought over yesterday!"
"He really is a good man!"
In the Dantian, the Azure Dragon Gu Worm realized its transmitted thoughts received no response and pondered in the dark, perhaps this new companion isn’t yet capable of thought, so it would nurture it first!
The Azure Dragon Gu Worm continued its labor.
Time in cultivation always flew by extremely fast, and when Lin Yun opened his eyes again, the sun had already set in the west, and the moon was rising in the east.
It was the sudden appearance of a person in the room that jolted Lin Yun awake.
His Divine Soul had grown much stronger, his senses sharper, which was why he noticed someone had arrived.
This person was Fang Yu.
Fang Yu had just dealt with the internal and external affairs of the sect and remembered that Lin Yun had something to ask her during the day, which prompted her to visit Lin Yun’s room. Seeing him in deep cultivation, she couldn’t help feeling gratified about Lin Yun’s diligence.
Although cultivators differed in talents, it was perseverance and hard work that allowed one to go further.
Seeing that Lin Yun was awake, she directly asked, "What was it that you wanted to discuss with me earlier?"
"It’s like this, I went to Elder Hu’s place today..."
Lin Yun talked about having tea with Elder Hu, including how Elder Hu had hoped to win him over, as well as the discussion about the Dao, without any concealment.
He was somewhat confused about the relationship between Hu Yuling and Fang Yu, so he decided not to involve himself.
After all, whatever I know, I have told. Whether it’s a test or a true rift between you, it is not for me to consider anymore.
After listening, Fang Yu pondered for a moment before saying, "The gift is from her, you should just accept it."
Lin Yun nodded, and Fang Yu continued, "I was planning to discuss the Dao with you when you formally become my apprentice, but since Elder Hu brought it up today, let me advance our discussion."
Although Lin Yun and she had agreed on the mentor-apprentice relationship the night before, Lin Yun still hadn’t resolved his identity as a disciple of the Sword Sect.
If Lin Yun was just an ordinary disciple, he wouldn’t have to worry too much about this, but since he might compete for the position of Shenxiao Sect Leader in the future, his current identity had to be handled properly to avoid greater troubles later on.
Fang Yu had previously taught Lin Yun swordsmanship but had not discussed the Dao with him.
Cultivators talk about following fate, and since she had arranged for Lin Yun to go to Sword Sect tomorrow, it was indeed the right moment to discuss her Dao with him tonight.
"Please enlighten me, Master."
Lin Yun changed his way of addressing her then, and Fang Yu did not correct him. Since she started discussing her Dao, Lin Yun was considered her disciple.
"To transmit the law is to transmit the Dao, this is the rule of the Righteous Path. Let me first ask you, what do you think is the Righteous Path, and what is the Demonic Path?"
This question was too easy to answer!
In front of Fang Yu, Lin Yun certainly couldn’t casually gloss over as he did with Hu Yuling, plus this question allowed him more room for elaboration.
Just speak towards righteousness, Lin Yun was an old humanities student after all.
"The Righteous Path is kindness, the Demonic Path is evil; the Righteous Path is self-restraint, the Demonic Path is indulgence; the Righteous Path has rules, the Demonic Path is reckless. The Righteous Path has the support of the people, the Demonic Path is despised by them..."
Lin Yun gave many noble answers, and Fang Yu remained expressionless until he finished, only then saying, "If today, someone were to bully or insult you, how would you respond?"
Lin Yun: "..."
In that case, I suggest you list a few more scenarios, so my antithetical matching will be more polished.
Although Lin Yun had a standard answer, he did not falsely claim it but instead showed a suitable youthful attitude.
Previously in Purple Cloud Cave, Lin Yun showed some of his temper when he rebuked Zhang Xiuya. Now, if he appeared too saintly, only knowing how to endure, it might actually make Fang Yu suspect he was scheming.
"There are two situations to consider: If I can defeat my opponent, then I’ll fight them; if I can’t, then I’ll endure and avoid them until I can win, and then I’ll fight them."
"Then by your initial answers, would you not be a person of the Demonic Path?"
Lin Yun: "..."
So, are you setting a trap for me?
