Seeking the Tao in the Mortal World

Chapter 159: It’s Too Easy

Ju Yunxiu glared at Qin Yi.

Qin Yi took half a step back innocently.

The air seemed still for a moment.

Ju Yunxiu felt so regretful that she was about to hit a wall. The so-called "following the rules" is actually an ability derived from the way of writing, and it can only be used when she reaches the Radiant Yang Stage. For a moment, I wanted to put my name on this stinky junior brother's first noble weapon, so I did it. Now it's too late to take it back.

Imagining him blowing and stroking the "Yunxiu" every day, she got goosebumps.

"Give me the flute." Ju Yunxiu stretched out her hand. "I'll give you something in exchange."

"No." Qin Yi took a step back again. "This is my first noble weapon. It has great meaning to me."

"Give me or I'll beat you up. Don't try me."

"You’re a fairy who lives among the clouds. You need to have an image. Fighting monsters and grabbing treasures is not suitable for you."

"Well, in fact, the meaning of monsters is very broad." Qin Yi cautiously asked, "Aren't you going to grab the flute?"

Ju Yunxiu regained her elegance and sat calmly, "If you can complete a task, this trivial matter will be forgotten."

"What task?"

"Do you know how the major sects in the Immortal Realm find successors?"

Qin Yi was stunned for a moment, then he realized that these immortal sects were located in secluded places. Not to mention that they were secluded, but most people didn't even know about them. Only one or two people who came to look for immortals once in a thousand years.

If one wanted to find a disciple, he had to search in the mortal world. When he saw a suitable seedling, he would test and accept him as his disciple.

Of course, the same was true for Myriad Tao Immortal Palace... But there was a problem here. Other department heads could send their men out to look for it, but the art department had no members... If Ju Yunxiu couldn't left for several years, this place would be empty…

"If you want me to abduct some disciples for you, forget it. I don't have that spare time."

"You are smart." Ju Yunxiu smiled slightly, "But you don't need to do this. Myriad Tao Immortal Palace has full-time elders who look for children of the right age who have talents and spiritual roots, and then each sect goes to select them."

Qin Yi understood now. "So Qing Cha is not here because she is selecting disciples?"

Ju Yunxiu's smile became a little forced, "Selecting is a bit unrealistic... If the child begs to join our sect, then we can select."

Qin Yi smiled, "So you're rivaling for students. I knew this is a university."

"Huh?"

"Nothing." Qin Yi smiled, "You are interested in teaching children?"

"Just let the attendants teach them the elementary. It's still early for me to teach them myself." Ju Yunxiu said helplessly, "Besides, it's useless to talk about this now. We can't get any recruitment.”

"Why is this so?" Qin Yi asked curiously, "I think it is too simple to abduct children back to our sect."

Our sect… Ju Yunxiu thought for a moment and smiled slightly.

He said he is just a passerby, but he is actually clear about who to distance and who to be close to. After he identifies with one, he has a strong sense of being 'one of our own'.

"You are oversimplifying it." She smiled, "The Immortal Palace brings back a batch of children every 60 years, and we have been unable to recruit a single one for 360 years."

60 years ago? 360 you were already the head of the department, and you said you were not a thousand-year-old...

Qin Yi slandered in his mind, but je said, "Don't all children like pretty sisters? How about you show off a few spells, and a bunch of children will follow you, right? Who would like to follow gamblers and drunkards?"

Ju Yunxiu shook her head. "Each sect has made an agreement that the sect master cannot show up. We can only let our disciples display skills to attract people. This is also a part of the competition within the Immortal Palace, and it doesn’t hurt the harmony.”

Qin Yi was speechless. "Then what can Qing Cha do? Where are the others? Isn't there still a chess maniac?"

"He won't bother about such things... Actually, we still have a calligraphy master, but he... forget about him." Ju Yunxiu sighed. "Besides, chess and calligraphy skills aren't appealing to people. According to past experience, eating and drinking attract people the fastest, followed by eccentric skills. Our music and painting could also attract some children, but they lost interest and switched to another sect due to the boring learning. It’s easier said than done to become obsessed with music and painting.”

"You guys stay too long in the mountains that you have become oblivion about people." Qin Yi laughed and said, "Leave this matter to me. If I can't entice anyone to become obsessed with our way, not to mention the flute, I will even present my head to you!"

Ju Yunxiu said, "If you can really do that, let alone the flute, I will teach you step by step personally."

"It's a deal." Qin Yi said with a smile. "I just need you to draw a few paintings for me to take away."

Outside the mountain, there was a green grassland with more than ten children standing in the middle. The youngest was only four years old, and the oldest was already thirteen years old. There were boys and girls. They were all looking around curiously.

There was a fat old man cooking a pot of food, which smelled really good...

There were already children drooling, and they subconsciously moved in that direction.

There was a skinny old man with a wooden horse that could move by itself...

There was also a middle-aged man who could make divination. No matter where one hid the coins, he could guess it.

There wa also a revealing woman who waved at them, charming the fourteen year old boys.

Well, there was a pretty girl painting over there, but there was nothing interesting.

The children scattered around and went to their favorite stalls.

Qing Cha almost cried, looking at the empty stall.

At this moment, a song sounded from behind, "Don't think I'm just a sheep, the grass becomes more fragrant because of me..."

The children turned around and saw a chubby lamb emerging from behind the painting girl, with circles on its head that looked like poops.

Let alone children, not even the immortals at Myriad Tao Immortal Palace had ever seen a sheep like this... Is that a sheep?

Some children couldn't help but ask, "Are you a sheep?"

The fat sheep replied in a muffled voice, "My name is Lazy Sheep..."

While talking, there was a strange cat chasing a cute mouse behind him. Both of their feet were running like wheels.

Everyone was stupefied.

Are these beastkins? Why do they look so different? What kind of beastkin is this?

The children were so happy that they ran away after the mouse and the fat sheep.

The other cultivators were stunned.

The only fourteen years old young boy was still looking at the revealing woman. "Those beastkins are too childish. Miss is more pretty in my opinion..."

'Qiang', there was the sound of drawing a sword.

The young boy subconsciously turned his head.

A girl in blue clothes with yellow hair put her sword on the ground. "I will not become anyone's possession. Before I become a woman, I’m a king!"

The young boy looked at her blankly. "Are you… are you also a beastkin?"

The girl handed the sword. "From now on, my sword and my destiny will be with you."

How can the revealing woman be more fun than 2D pretty girl...

A few seconds later, all the children got on a handkerchief and disappeared.

The breeze blew and the leaves fell. The cultivators were petrified with their jaws dropping.

What are these?

Why can't I understand any of them? Even the girl, who looks different from humans, looks very cute... When did the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting sect raise these new beastkin species?

Qing Cha jumped up and left. "Master's Junior, you are the best!"
