Chapter 100 What the hell are you two, master and disciple, up to?! (First update, 3200 words)
The morning light completely bathed the side hall.
The last trace of gloom and chill was dispelled, and a gentle golden warmth enveloped the dark coffin.
The sorcery has been broken, and the shackles have been removed.
The night ends, and the dawn bears witness.
She saw it.
"Wait a minute!!! Something's not right!!!"
A discordant shout shattered the tranquility, and Lu Yuan turned his head sharply, his voice booming.
The old man and Crane Patrol Celestial Venerable, who had just caught their breath, were both startled by the shout and nearly fell to the ground.
The two of them almost simultaneously cursed through gritted teeth, "Something's gotten fucking wrong again!!"
Lu Yuan strode up to Gu Qingwan, staring intently at her eyes that had finally regained their sparkle, his brows furrowed.
"The divine presence is there, and the focus is there, but—"
"Why is it still red?!"
The old man grinned and muttered in response, "Nonsense!"
"They only broke her spell, but didn't give her a new pair of eyes!"
Lu Yuan's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly asked, "So she can see now, right?"
Completely exhausted, Crane Celestial Venerable collapsed to the ground, panting heavily.
"You can definitely see it, didn't you see the light in her eyes?"
"that is----
Lu Yuan raised an eyebrow.
"What is it?"
Crane Patrol Celestial Venerable pondered for a moment, organizing his thoughts.
"Perhaps—the world she saw was different from ours; it was probably a hazy red."
"It might also be hazy and gray—"
"Harmful!!"
Crane Patrol Celestial Venerable suddenly slapped his thigh.
"Isn't she right in front of you?!"
"Why don't you just ask her directly?!"
After Crane Patrol Celestial Venerable finished speaking, Lu Yuan turned to look at Gu Qingwan in front of him and quickly asked, "Is what we're seeing now normal?"
At this moment, Gu Qingwan's cold yet eerie scarlet eyes were fixed on Lu Yuan the entire time.
It seemed she wanted to imprint Lu Yuan's image completely in her mind.
It wasn't until Lu Yuan finished asking his question and a few seconds later that she slowly snapped out of her focused gaze and parted her lips slightly.
A single word, carrying with it an endless emptiness.
"----Ash----"
Lu Yuan understood.
really.
You can see it, but what you see is a world devoid of color.
So, I still need to get my eyes fixed!
As for this, there's no need to trouble your master or the Heavenly Lord Crane Patrol.
Ever since he decided to help Gu Qingwan get her eyes repaired, her tongue restored, and her legs reattached, Lu Yuan would take out the book "Tao" and read those parts whenever he had free time.
This matter is not difficult for Lu Yuan, who is now a Celestial Master!
The only difficulty in this matter lies in the issue of materials.
What should we use as eyes for Gu Qingwan?
The book "Tao" that the system rewarded me with states that the better the materials, the better the results.
Of course, that's nonsense.
Since Lu Yuan was going to get eyes implanted for Gu Qingwan, he naturally wanted to use the best!
It must be the absolute best!
What does "the best" mean?
It absolutely has to be a graduation outfit!
Anyone who has played DNF knows that even with the same level of equipment, a difference of just one percent in damage doesn't qualify as "endgame gear."
So what material would be the best for making eyes for Gu Qingwan?
The Dao clearly states that the eyes are the windows to the soul, and that inlaying eyes is not to repair organs, but to build pathways.
Common materials include glass, crystal, and chalcedony.
But to be "the best," three conditions must be met: it must be able to receive souls, communicate with spirits, and last a long time.
Lu Yuan pondered for a moment, something flashing through his mind, then looked up at Gu Qingwan and said, "Stay here!"
Gu Qingwan blinked her still scarlet eyes, which were now moved by him, and answered softly.
"----good."
Before he finished speaking, Lu Yuan's figure had already turned into a blur and disappeared at the entrance of the side hall.
In the corner, the two old men, slumped over, didn't even have the strength to lift their heads.
"Where did he go?"
Crane Patrol Celestial Venerable leaned against the wall behind him, breathing heavily.
The old man next to him shook his head, glanced at the dining table not far away out of the corner of his eye, stretched out his arm, grabbed a dumpling and stuffed it into his mouth.
"have no idea."
Upon witnessing this scene, the Heavenly Venerable Crane Patrol's lips twitched: "Eek!!!"
"You can still eat?!"
puff!
The old man moved his mouth and casually spat out a dumpling onto the ground. He then reached out and grabbed a second dumpling, stuffing it into his mouth, saying, "I'm hungry after a whole night of running around."
Crane Patrol Celestial Venerable:
At this moment, Lu Yuan, who had just left the side hall, did not go anywhere.
He rushed straight back to his room in the backyard.
He dragged out a heavy wooden crate.
This is the very treasure passed down through generations of the Zhenlong Temple that the old man passed down to him a few days ago!
Lu Yuan rummaged through the contents and soon retrieved a quaint little box.
Inside the box, on faded bright yellow silk, lay a string of prayer beads.
No more, no less, twelve in total.
Each one was the size of a longan, and its material was neither gold nor jade, but a bluish-green crystal that Lu Yuan had never seen before.
Inside the crystal, it seems as if clouds are slowly flowing, and upon closer inspection, one can even see star-like glimmers flickering within.
The beads are strung together by an unknown silver thread, which is both flexible and strong.
Lu Yuan picked up the tattered book that was almost falling apart again and ran his fingertips across the pages.
If I remember correctly—
He flipped through the pages rapidly.
Soon, the origin of this string of beads was found!
This item is called "Azure Glass Bead".
It was obtained by Xie Linfeng, the thirteenth generation patriarch of Zhenlong Temple, through a predestined encounter with an immortal in the depths of Zhongnan Mountain.
The twelve beads are all made from "celestial chalcedony".
That is the essence that condensed from the purest wisp of pure energy when the world was first created, and it was buried deep in the earth's veins.
It takes ten thousand years to obtain a single drop, and that single drop condenses into a pearl.
This item has three wonderful uses.
The first principle is "breaking through illusions." Holding it allows one to observe the true nature of things, and all illusions and deceptions will have nowhere to hide in its presence.
The second is "connecting with the netherworld," which allows one to see the energy of both the yin and yang realms, and to perceive the forms of ghosts, spirits, and demons.
The third is "Nourishing the Soul". Wearing it close to the body can nourish the soul and prevent evil spirits from invading.
It can receive souls, communicate with spirits, and endure.
Perfect match!
Lu Yuan stared at the azure glass bead in the box, his eyes shifting.
Snapped!
He slammed the box shut and turned to walk toward the side hall.
He was very clear about what he was about to do and what it meant.
Rebellious.
This is a priceless treasure of our sect, a sacred artifact nurtured by the blood and sweat of generations of patriarchs.
Dismantling a bead is like severing a vein.
Once this string of beads is disassembled, the spiritual energy it contains, nurtured for hundreds of years, will break, and its power will be reduced to less than one-tenth.
A top-tier magical artifact will now be reduced to an ordinary item.
Of course, Lu Yuan has not yet decided whether to do so, nor is it a decision he can make.
Even if the old man dotes on him, Lu Yuan can't just take out the top-tier magic weapon passed down from his sect and mess it up.
Of course, Lu Yuan didn't think this was a joke.
But ultimately, it has to be the old man who makes the decisions.
Even if the old man has the final say, it doesn't matter; this matter needs to be discussed with the thirteenth generation patriarch, Xie Linfeng!
Lu Yuan couldn't ask for instructions on this matter.
According to the rules of Taoism, one does not need to ask for permission while the master is present.
Simply put, your master is above all else; if you have any questions, ask your master, and your master's word is law.
If you need to ask for instructions, it should be your master who asks. As a disciple, if your master is still alive, you cannot bypass your master.
Soon, Lu Yuan returned to the side hall.
He walked straight to the old man who was slumped on the ground, reaching for the dumplings on the table.
Snapped.
He opened the box and pushed it in front of the old man.
Lu Yuan remained silent.
The Crane Patrol Celestial Venerable glanced at it, his pupils suddenly contracted, and his breath caught in his throat for a moment.
"What the hell?!"
"Azure Glass Bead!!"
He suddenly looked at Lu Yuan, his eyes filled with shock and confusion.
"How did you get this thing?"
The next second, as if he had thought of something, he suddenly turned his head and stared intently at the old man next to him who was still chewing, his voice even changing tone.
"You—you passed this top-tier magical artifact to him?"
The old man slowly swallowed the dumpling in his mouth, glanced at Lu Yuan, and then at the azure glass bead in the box.
Then.
puff!
Ding ding ding—
He spat out a shiny silver coin, which rolled to the front of the large coffin and bumped into it before stopping.
The old man then glanced at Crane Patrol Celestial Venerable and slowly asked, "He's already a legitimate Celestial Master. What's wrong with passing on the sect's magical artifacts to him?"
Crane Patrol Celestial Venerable was taken aback and pondered for a moment.
You know what, there's really nothing wrong with this.
Lu Yuan is simply too outrageous; he has already reached the level of a Celestial Master at such a young age.
Crane Patrol Celestial Venerable was somewhat unaccustomed to this, feeling that it was against the rules for someone so young to obtain a sect artifact!
Now that I think about it carefully, Lu Yuan has already reached the level of a Celestial Master and has received the inheritance of his master's lineage, so there is no problem with that.
Thinking of this, Crane Patrol Celestial Venerable's tense body slowly relaxed, and he leaned back against the wall, his expression complex.
This thing—
I had wanted it so much back then —
As it turned out, his master didn't give it to him, but gave it to He Yin instead.
Now He Yin has been passed on to Lu Yuan —
well----
Um? ! ! !
wrong!!!!
What's the meaning of this kid taking this thing out?!
Buhou!!!
Just as Crane Patrol Celestial Venerable relaxed and leaned back against the wall, he suddenly jolted awake, his body stiffened, and he sat up abruptly.
Crane-Patrolling Celestial Venerable glared at Lu Yuan and shouted, "What the hell are you trying to do?!"
"What are you trying to do by bringing this thing out here?!"
Lu Yuan ignored Crane Patrol Celestial Venerable and just stared at the old man in front of him.
The old man didn't say anything, but stuffed another dumpling into his mouth and chewed it.
puff!
The old man casually spat out another silver coin.
"Have you thought it through?"
Lu Yuan looked at the old man and said earnestly, "Could you ask the patriarch for me?"
The old man stuffed another dumpling into his mouth and shook his head.
Seeing this, Lu Yuan couldn't help but sigh.
Indeed, it's a bit too much to directly use one's master's magic weapon to implant something into one's eye.
Of course, Lu Yuan could say that he guaranteed he could find two replacement beads in the future and repair the azure glass bead.
But what guarantees does Lu Yuan have?
What is the time limit?
What if I can't find it?
That would be boasting, so————
Just as Lu Yuan was about to take back the box.
puff!
Another silver dollar was spat out of the old man's mouth.
"You can't ask!"
"What if the patriarch refuses to accept the offer?"
"You go ahead and inlay it. We'll go kneel down and beg for forgiveness later."
After saying that, the old man grabbed another dumpling and stuffed it into his mouth.
The next second, he froze, slammed the dumplings back onto the plate, and started cursing!
"Holy crap!"
"Why am I like a toad, money just pops out of my head every time I eat a dumpling!"
"Is this thing really that accurate? Am I really going to have to spend a fortune this year?!"
Crane Patrol Celestial Venerable stared at the scene before him with a face full of question marks.
no----
What the hell are you two, master and apprentice, trying to do?!
