Chapter 177: Cloud Wanderer

untain, looking at the map, its icy peak, shown only partially, is considered one of the notable mountains in the area.Qin Sang thought about it and decided to go to Jiuding Mountain, find a secluded...The old man brushed past Qin Sang.

Qin Sang turned his head and watched the old man walk all the way to the street, just as he was about to disappear into the crowd, suddenly a flash of figure, hurriedly caught up with the old man.

"Senior, please wait!"

The old man stopped in his tracks, looking at Qin Sang who was blocking his way with surprise and a hint of wariness in his eyes. "Friend, what brings you to stop me"

Qin Sang bowed slightly and said respectfully, "I was reckless. Please forgive me, senior. May I ask...is your dao name Yun Youzi"

When called out by a stranger, the elder stroked his long beard and squinted at Qin Sang, frowning as he pondered. "Friend Daoist, you truly know this old Daoist But...this old Daoist should not have met you before."

"Indeed, seniors might not know me."

Qin Sang nodded slightly and said in a low voice, "Senior, are you really the Yun Youzi Daochang I wonder if Senior still remembers Ji Xin"

Upon hearing the name, the elder's expression froze. He raised his eyes to gaze at the heavens, his gaze suddenly becoming distant, as if he had seen through decades of time. After a long silence, he finally fixed his gaze on Qin Sang and asked, "Little brother, are you talking about Jixin, the disciple that old man adopted in the mortal world How did you come to know Jixin"

“This junior is originally from Ningguo. When I was fifteen, I followed my elders on a business trip, but we were ambushed by bandits and imprisoned. Luckily, I escaped and ended up in the Great Sui Dynasty. I was taken in by Daoist Jixin and later, by chance, entered the path of immortality... Speaking of which, this junior's smooth entry into cultivation is also due to a prescription for an ancient medicinal bath left behind by the senior…”

In a quiet wine shop.

The two of them ordered wine and dishes, sitting opposite each other.

Qin Sang softly recounted to the wandering son how he had met the Daoist Jie Xin.

When talking about past events, Qin Sang's face also showed a wistful look, her expression somewhat forlorn.

He had been struggling along the path of cultivation, devoting himself to training. In the past, he had never had the time or inclination to reminisce about his past. Now, looking back, he realized that fifteen years ago, he ascended to Qingyangguan and was now in his sixties.

It has been over forty years.

"The ancient formula for a medicinal bath"

The Cloud Traveler pondered for a moment, then smiled and said, "Brother Qin, you're talking about the Yangshen Soup, right It is indeed effective for newly initiated cultivators. The old Taoist discovered it by chance during his travels around the world. It was created by a master of martial arts from the Sui Dynasty. The prescription uses common herbs, yet it is effective for cultivators, which is quite rare."

Qin Sang nodded and stood up, giving a long bow. "Junior hasn't had the chance to thank senior yet. I initially thought senior was a mortal, but I didn't expect that senior was also a cultivator. Daoist Ji Xin, are you also a cultivator..."

After the greetings, Qin Sang sat down, eagerly looking at Yun Youzi.

He never expected that Jixian Daochang's master, Yunyouszi, was a cultivator!

At Qingyang Guan, during the Lunar New Year once, Daoist Ji Xin took out a portrait of Yun Youzi and worshiped it. Qin Sang followed suit and, seeing the image for the first time, felt like he had met the person in the painting.

Therefore, upon suddenly encountering Yun Youzi just now, Qin Sang immediately felt a sense of familiarity. He sifted through the people he had met since arriving in this world, finding no explanation. Suddenly, he remembered the portrait and instantly understood.

According to Daoist Jishixin, when the painting was created, Yunyouzi was already over eighty years old.

Now, the Cloud Wanderer sits across from me. Though he appears older than in the portrait, his features remain unchanged, and perhaps even appear more spirited than in the painting.

The Cloud Wanderer is a cultivator, so are Master Jishi and Mingyue also cultivators Were all the little things I did at Qingyangguan not noticed by their master-disciple duo

Did Master Ji Xin give himself the prescription out of pity for his hard work in cultivation

Qin Sang smiled wryly. In order to seek immortality, he left Qingyang Guan. Wasn't that seeking the distant while neglecting the near A true immortal was right in front of him, yet because of his poor eyesight, he couldn't recognize Mount Lu's true face.

At the same time, Qin Sang was secretly surprised. Since he had moved into Qingyang Guan, he had never seen Daoist Jixing or Daoist Mingyue use extraordinary means. Daoist Jixing, in order to help the victims of the famine, willingly endured hunger and hardship, eating coarse grains and wild vegetables.

After Qin Sang ransacked the bandits, he used most of the silver to subsidize the Taoist temple.

Could it be that they sealed their cultivation to temper their Dao hearts through worldly experience

Qin Sang had a moment of confused thoughts, but then he saw Yun Youzi shaking his head and saying: "Ji Xin is not a cultivator, at least not before the old Daoist left. Because the old Daoist also met with Xian Yuan after parting ways with Ji Xin, and never went back since. Speaking of which, Ji Xin took in Qin Lao Di (Qin Sang), and today the old Daoist met Qin Lao Di again...The matter of fate is indeed very mysterious."

Upon hearing this, Qin Sang was taken aback and thought he had misheard. He exclaimed in astonishment, "Junior heard from Daoist Jixin that when you parted ways with him, you were already seventy years old..."

The Cloud Traveler said that he only met immortals after leaving the quiet hermit, Master Silent Heart. By then, he was over seventy years old!

Qin Sang saw clearly that Yun Youzi's current cultivation was clearly in the early stage of Foundation Establishment, and his aura was even stronger than his own by a few points!

The Cloud-Wandering Son smiled faintly. "The old Daoist was unmatched in his medical skills at the age of fifteen and was summoned to the palace as a royal physician. At forty-seven, he made a grave mistake that nearly cost him his life. Dejected and disheartened, he became a monk, calling himself Cloud-Wandering Son. At seventy-two, he knew his time was short. Reflecting on his past experiences, he realized the terror of life and death. He didn't want to end up as a withered skeleton in a tomb, so he had a sudden inspiration to travel and seek immortals. Coincidentally, Ji Xin had grown up and inherited all of the old Daoist's true teachings. So, that year, he once again carried his medicine chest and walked west with just a staff. Six years later, while collecting herbs on an isolated mountain, he met his master. Guided by his master, at the age of seventy-eight, he began his spiritual practice. Due to his advanced age and declining health, he diligently practiced for forty years before finally achieving foundation building at the age of one hundred eighteen. He paid a price for this success, however. Unlike Qin, younger brother, who already possessed such impressive cultivation at a young age, with limitless potential!"

Listening to Yun Zi's narration, Qin Sang felt as if she were hearing a mystical tale. The more she listened, the more amazed she became.

In the cultivation world, it is a common consensus that after reaching the age of fifty, cultivators in the Qi Refinement stage will experience a decline in their spiritual energy and begin to age. Their hopes of forming a foundation become increasingly slim unless they can find rare medicinal herbs to compensate for the deficiency. However, each type of such herb is extremely valuable, and their effects cannot be superimposed on each other.

When Meng Ruhuai was fifty-eight years old, he had already reached the twelfth level of the Qi Refining Period. Feeling that it was hopeless to build a foundation and abandon his immortal path, he became an administrator at Yuang Zhao Gate.

At this age, Yun Youzi is still a mortal!

At the age of seventy-eight, he began his cultivation and never gave up. After forty years of diligent and solitary practice, he successfully established his foundation at the age of one hundred and eighteen, a feat that was astonishing and unprecedented, something Qin Sang had never heard of before!

"Junior... I admire you!"

A thousand words cannot express my admiration.

Put yourself in my shoes. If you were still an ordinary person at the age of seventy or eighty, frail and weak, would you still have the unwavering resolve to pursue immortality, even if it meant giving your life for it

Qin Sang felt suspenseful.

He thought his determination to seek the Dao was unwavering, but compared to this 'old man' before him, it was insignificant!

Qin Sang raised his cup with both hands and toasted Yun Youzi.
