Chapter 266: 167: Cave Heaven and Blessed Land

Faced with this inquiry, Lu Yuan couldn’t help but feel shocked for a moment. He soon realized that it was probably due to his altered inner strength after the jade piece transformed his body, which misled the other party.

He was well aware that the jade piece was an extraordinary encounter.

However, Lu Yuan had been unable to activate it all along, only using it to enhance the purity of his inner strength.

Could it be that his refined inner strength was somehow connected to the legendary Immortal Technique after all?

With this guess in his mind, Lu Yuan showed confusion after his astonishment,

“Why would True Person say this? Although I yearn for the Immortal Method, I’ve been seeking it in vain. I’ve only practiced some martial arts and achieved little success. Where does this Immortal Technique come from?”

Zhen Xuan True Person looked at him, his eyebrows slightly furrowed, and examined him again.

Upon closer inspection this time, he indeed noticed a difference in the aura of Lu Yuan in comparison to the other True Persons present.

Although there was an elusive Immortal Spirit, it essentially had a few more traces of turbid life force that resembled martial arts inner strength, rather than the pure Immortal Spirit.

“It seems I made a mistake.”

Zhen Xuan True Person looked at Lu Yuan with an apologetic smile on his face, “Just now, I saw similarities between Fellow Daoist’s aura and that of fellow cultivators of the Immortal Method, so I thought you were also from the Immortal Method.

It seems now that I have misjudged.

However, the Immortal Spirit on Fellow Daoist’s body cannot be faked.

May I ask, did you have any extraordinary encounters related to Immortal

Techniques in the past?”

Realizing that his question was perhaps too abrupt, Zhen Xuan quickly added, “Fellow Daoist, please don’t misunderstand. Poor Daoist here does not covet your experiences, but this is the first time I’ve seen such a situation, which has left me puzzled.

If Fellow Daoist could explain, I would appreciate the clarification.

Of course, if you cannot speak about it, it is not a big deal. It is your own fortune, and outsiders like us should not inquire.”

Upon hearing Zhen Xuan’s words, the curious gazes of the others in the vicinity were involuntarily drawn towards Lu Yuan.

Especially those from the six families and seven clans, who looked at him with astonishment in their eyes, as if they were about to jump out of their sockets.

Originally, to these people, Lu Yuan was a future Inborn Grandmaster with limitless potential.

However, it seemed as if they still underestimated this Pingxi General, as the secrets surrounding him appeared even more numerous than previously imagined.

An extraordinary encounter with an Immortal, something that one can only chance upon but not seek out. Had he really obtained it?

When they thought about this, many people couldn’t help but feel envious and jealous, wishing they could take his place.

Having drawn the attention of so many eager stares, Lu Yuan knew that he couldn’t avoid it this time, whether he spoke or not.

So after some careful consideration, he finally spoke up amidst the silence, “I do not dare to hide the truth from True Person for this minor fortune. It is true that I, Lu, experienced a stroke of luck in my early years.

I was originally a hunter born on Dayu Mountain, who struggled for life against wild beasts while crossing mountains and ridges every day.

One day, while hunting in the mountains, I stumbled upon a cave and found within it several books, an Elixir, and some silver taels.

Later, I used the silver taels to study and read the obtained books, discovering that they were a martial arts secret book, a memoir, and a Taoist classic.

Through the memoir, I learned that these books, the Elixir, and the silver taels were left by a casual cultivator named Qingyu who had lived in seclusion in the deep mountains, desperately seeking the Immortal Method but ultimately found nothing.

In the end, he left behind a self-written Taoist classic and the remaining Elixir he had refined, hoping to pass on his legacy to future generations.

As for the martial arts secret book, he knew that even with this legacy, it would be difficult to cultivate immortality, so he passed it down to protect oneself.

Since then, I have cultivated martial arts myself, and with the help of the Elixir, reached my current level of cultivation.

After I consumed the Elixir, I discovered that it helped enhance my cultivation, and my Inner Strength became more refined and ethereal than an ordinary person’s.

Perhaps the Immortal Spirit that True Person mentioned comes from this?” Lu Yuan pondered and finally gave an answer after much deliberation.

After all, his background as a hunter was true, and it was also true that he used money to learn to read and began practicing martial arts during that time.

As for the improvement of his inner strength, it indeed began after he started practicing martial arts.

All of the above was true, and even if someone investigated, the outcome would be no different from what he said.

He merely attributed the silver taels and secret books he obtained from Ma Jiqing and the Immortal modality jade piece obtained from Sun Siwen to a nonexistent cave dwelling and the nonexistent legacy of Qingyu Taoist.

His real hidden cards remained concealed.

Such a half-true and half-false explanation was undoubtedly the most difficult to see through. Besides, it was not uncommon for practitioners to live in seclusion and cultivate in the deep mountains.

The most obvious example was Lu Yuan’s friend, Qi Yun Taoist, who was living proof of such.

So after speaking, the expressions of those present varied, but many of them believed it to be true.

Among those from the six families and seven clans, quite a few knew of Lu Yuan’s background, as the court would not grant him a title without a background check.

Lu Yuan’s life experiences and his ancestry had been thoroughly investigated.

Now, comparing the two backgrounds, the trajectory matched perfectly, and they immediately believed him.

The remaining two points of suspicion lay in whether Lu Yuan had any other secrets, such as whether the Immortal opportunity was solely an Elixir or if it also contained some Immortal Techniques?
