No Way Anyone Believes That My Master Is A Mortal?

The various sects’ secret manuals…

There were even some secret techniques from the east region’s Holy Land that were not passed down to their disciples in the stack.

Such valuable items… were sold by pounds?

If the leaders of those sects and factions heard this, they would probably be so angry that they would go berserk on the spot…

Zhang San’s face turned stiff. He wanted to answer, but he did not know how to answer. He could only remain silent.

Chu Yuan didn’t care about this fellow.

He picked up the big box and weighed it. Then, he said slowly, “From what I feel, if we calculate the total weight, including the box, they should weigh about eight pounds. I’ll give you two taels of silver for each pound of the manuals, a total of eight taels of silver. Take it well.”

He took eight taels of silver out of his sleeve and handed them to Zhang San.

Do not bother asking him where the money came from.

If he was to give an answer, it would be that he had casually obtained it by robbing the rich to help the poor when he had gone down the mountain.

Zhang San looked at the eight taels of silver in his hand and wanted to cry.

This…

This…

What should he say?

He had reaped what he had sown.

Could he take the initiative to say that those were real manuals?

He was afraid that this Tribulation old fellow would act in the name of justice and eradicate him. If he killed him, these manuals would still belong to this old fellow.

If he continued to panic, there would be no way he could survive!

Therefore, he could not say it!

However, he was unwilling to use eight taels of silver to exchange for these secret manuals!

Zhang San swallowed his saliva and gnashed his teeth. “Senior, I can sell these “fake” secret manuals to you for eight taels of silver, but please accept me as your disciple and teach me!”

Entering this senior’s tutelage!

He could tell that he wouldn’t be able to get back those secret manuals. Since he could not get them back, he might as well become this senior’s disciple. He would still be able to browse through these secret manuals.

On top of that, he could also receive guidance from a Tribulation cultivator.

Chu Yuan, who was carrying the large box, raised an eyebrow at Zhang San when he heard this. “Fellow Daoist wants to join the Daoless Sect? May I ask if you have a spirit root?”

Spirit root?

When Zhang San heard this topic, he immediately patted his chest and revealed a proud expression. “Reporting to Senior, this junior has a Wind Spirit Root!” he said.

Wind Spirit Root!

This was one of the stronger spirit roots. Those who possessed this spirit root were all people with outstanding talent.

Thinking back to that year when Zhang San had been tested for his spirit root, his Wind Spirit Root had shocked everyone present.

Countless sects had fought hard for him to join them.

Zhang San believed that this senior would definitely take him in as a disciple as long as he revealed his spirit root.

Yes, he believed. He was sure. He was very sure.

That would be the case.

What if that was not the case?

Keke!

If that did not happen, he would turn around and swallow the tree beside him without even chewing it!

Just as Zhang San thought that he was about to kowtow and acknowledge Chu Yuan as his Master, Chu Yuan said faintly, “Fellow Daoist, I’m sorry. The Daoless Sect only accepts people without spirit roots. Those with spirit roots will not be accepted. Fellow Daoist, please leave the mountain. I will be leaving first.”

With that said, Chu Yuan carried the big box, and clouds formed under his feet as he quickly flew to the back of the mountain.

Zhang San, “???”

Senior, there’s something wrong with you!

I’ve already thought through the entire process. Yet, you’re leaving just like that!?

Zhang San looked at Chu Yuan’s departing figure and could only curse in his heart for being careless.

At the back of the mountain…

Chu Yuan returned with a large box.

The first thing he did was not to put these ‘fake’ cultivation techniques in the Impartation Hall. Instead, he picked up the Daoless Sect’s Great Protective Formation Diagram and began reading it.

He remembered that the Daoless Sect’s Great Protective Formation had the ability to conceal the sect.

Yes, he planned to keep the Daoless Sect hidden.

He was lucky this time.

It was merely a passerby selling fake books.

What if his disciple’s family really came to pick him up next time?

No, he had to keep Ye Luo here for a year.

Therefore, he wanted to keep the Daoless Sect hidden so that no one would be able to find it. Only by doing so would he be able to stay quietly on the mountain with Ye Luo for a year.

Chu Yuan pondered for a long time before he finally understood how to use it.

He injected his dharmic power into the formation diagram, and the array formation instantly flickered with golden light and flew out of Chu Yuan’s hand, entering the void.

The Daoless Sect’s Protective Mountain Formation was activated!

If someone were to stand outside Sky Mist Mountain at this moment, they would be able to see that waves of clouds had appeared out of nowhere, surrounding the entire Sky Mist Mountain.

These clouds and mist gradually shielded Sky Mist Mountain from the outside world, making it impossible for one to see Sky Mist Mountain’s true appearance from the outside.

As the clouds and mist covered the entirety of the Sky Mist Mountain, a peculiar scene appeared.

Sky Mist Mountain had disappeared…

Yet, it didn’t really disappear.

Instead, after being shrouded by the clouds, it was as if Sky Mist Mountain didn’t exist at all. At a glance, one would subconsciously ignore Sky Mist Mountain’s existence, only feeling that this place was filled with dense clouds and mist.

However, from within Sky Mist Mountain, one could clearly see the scenery outside.

Chu Yuan was very satisfied with this hidden formation.

After setting up the formation, Chu Yuan placed all these fake secret manuals into the Hall of Impartation. Then, he sent a voice transmission to Ye Luo, telling him of the news without meeting him face to face.

Meeting him directly?

It was impossible for him to show himself. He wanted to hide.

In any case, he did not want Ye Luo to be able to find him. He wanted to stay hidden from him as long as he could.

If he could not drag it on any longer, he would then continue to hoodwink him.

In the main hall square…

Ye Luo sat cross-legged and continued to meditate.

After some time, he opened his eyes and exhaled.

“Master is indeed a peerless expert.”

Ye Luo sighed. He could feel that these golden symbols were helping him. They were strengthening his body and nourishing his soul constantly.

Although he had yet to cultivate, he was no weaker than Qi Refining cultivators.

And according to his recent insights, these golden runes were just the tip of the iceberg of the Dao. The thousands of chains in the sky that he had seen last time in the sky were the true Dao!

He had only comprehended a tiny bit, yet it was already extremely beneficial to him.

If he could comprehend all ten million chains, it would most likely be as what his Master had said—grasping the stars and even plucking the sun and moon from the sky.

At that point in time, he would be invincible in this world!

“I should just eat something convenient and continue comprehending. I’ll try to complete what Master instructed in a year. I can’t disappoint Master.”

This was what Ye Luo thought.

Just as he was about to take out some dry rations to eat and fill his stomach before continuing to comprehend the Dao, he heard a voice beside his ear all of a sudden, causing his spirits to be lifted.

“Master said that I could visit the Impartation Hall when I’m free?

“The Hall of Impartation… Judging from its name, it should be a place where it imparts cultivation techniques and secret manuals. Didn’t Master ask me to comprehend the Dao for a year before resolving the matter of my lack of spirit root? Why is he asking me to go to the Hall of Impartation now?

“Let’s go take a look first. Master must have his own reasons. It’s useless to think so much by myself,” Ye Luo muttered to himself for a moment before picking up his sword and walking out of the square.

He did not know where the Hall of Impartation was…

He could only walk around and look for the location of the hall…
