Gou Zaixiu Immortal World Gets A Wife

Chapter 21: Venturing into the Mountains Alone (Seeking to Continue Reading)

Originally, within the Hundred Thousand Mountains, the couple Chen Yinshan unexpectedly discovered a two-hundred-year-old Fire Spirit Fruit. Seeing that there were no people or demonic beasts around, they immediately put it into their storage bag.

However, when they were preparing to leave the Hundred Thousand Mountains, they were sensed by a disciple of the Mountain of Joyful Bliss who was raising a spiritual pet. The disciple was not polite and demanded that they hand it over.

Chen Yinshan was furious and wanted to refuse, but he was immediately stopped by Zhao Guili.

There was no way around it. Their strength was too weak, and the other party was a mid-stage Qi Refining cultivator with the backing of the Mountain of Joyful Bliss.

Although the Mountain of Joyful Bliss was currently in a difficult situation, it was still not something that they, as low-level wandering cultivators, could provoke. Once the other party found out that they had settled in Azure Serenity City, endless troubles would come knocking on their door.

Thinking of what Li Guanxuan had said, Zhao Guili ultimately handed over the Fire Spirit Fruit and immediately left the Hundred Thousand Mountains with Chen Yinshan.

But who would have thought...

That disciple of the Mountain of Joyful Bliss suddenly changed his mind and started to toy with them.

In order to save their lives, Zhao Guili suggested that she and Chen Yinshan split up and escape. This way, at least one of them could survive and prevent a complete annihilation.

In the end, the disciple of the Mountain of Joyful Bliss gave up hunting Chen Yinshan and instead went to kill Zhao Guili with his spiritual pet.

The consequences of a mid-stage Qi Refining cultivator hunting down someone who had just advanced to the third level of Qi Refining can be imagined...

After listening to Old Chen's words, Li Guanxuan also fell silent, feeling a strong sense of powerlessness rising within him.

In front of the sect disciples, they, as low-level wandering cultivators, were like slaves.

When they were happy, they let them go freely.

When they were unhappy, they would toy with them like this, and in the end, kill them and take their treasures for their own amusement.

Suddenly, Chen Yinshan raised his head, his eyes widened, and red lines spread like spiderwebs around his eyeballs. He said,

"Old Li! Do you think Guili might still be alive? Afterward, I went to investigate the direction she escaped to for several days. I didn't see her body, only some bloodstains...

Do you think she might still be alive? Yes, she's so clever and resourceful, she must have escaped. She must still be alive!"

Li Guanxuan looked at Chen Yinshan, who had fallen into madness.

Although this hope was slim, for Chen Yinshan at this moment, this glimmer of hope was his spiritual support for staying alive.

Li Guanxuan nodded to show his agreement but did not speak.

"I'm going to find her!"

Chen Yinshan stood up, his eyes burning with the flame of hope and a trace of determination. He said loudly,

"No matter the outcome, I will find her. Just like that saying that has been passed down through the ages: To see a person alive, to see a corpse dead.

As low-level wandering cultivators like us, we may never be able to deal with the Mountain of Joyful Bliss in our lifetime. I don't expect to seek revenge on the Mountain of Joyful Bliss in the future. As long as I can find her in the Hundred Thousand Mountains, it will all be worth it."

Li Guanxuan silently listened to his old friend's words.

The Hundred Thousand Mountains were filled with countless dry bones. Even mid-stage Qi Refining cultivators or early-stage Foundation Building cultivators dared not rashly venture deep into them.

But Li Guanxuan understood that he couldn't stop Chen Yinshan, nor could he help him.

A fourth-level Qi Refining cultivator, a first-grade talisman master, what could he use to contend against the Mountain of Joyful Bliss?

Perhaps in a few hundred years, he might be able to conquer the entire Mountain of Joyful Bliss.

But by then...

Chen Yinshan might no longer be around.

Even that instigator, the disciple of the Mountain of Joyful Bliss, might no longer be around.

"Want some wine?"

Li Guanxuan asked, then took out two jars of spirit wine, saying, "Properly strong liquor."

At this moment, no matter how much was said, it was useless. Just accompany his old friend for a drink and be done with it.

He had the Velvet Flower Spirit Tree, he could live forever...

But Chen Yinshan did not.

On some future day, he would lose this trustworthy old friend.

The innate talent determines the future of many low-level scattered cultivators.

Without any fortuitous encounters, it is difficult to turn one's life around.

Two men sat in the courtyard, drinking silently without saying a word.

Having been worn down by life, they had long been accustomed to swallowing their frustrations and not speaking up, wanting to silently digest them on their own.

An hour or two of persuasion and comfort is not as good as half an hour of quiet introspection.

Qin Jiyue looked at the two men sitting in the courtyard, drinking silently, surprisingly quiet. In her heart, she couldn't help but feel that men were strange.

For a long, long time...

Chen Yinshan looked at the stars in the night sky, some shining brightly, while others could only emit a dim light, and sighed:

"Sometimes I think it's better to free oneself. Perhaps in the next life, I will become a talented disciple of the immortal sect?"

Li Guanxuan smiled and said, "Perhaps it will be just as messed up as it is now?"

"Damn it..."

Chen Yinshan cursed with a smile. His mood had gradually calmed down, and he could only accept this cruel and messed up reality.

What can he do?

Seek revenge from the Mountain of Joyful Bliss?

He hadn't even entered their gate, perhaps he had already been blasted to pieces.

Zhao Guili fought desperately to give him a way out, not to let him continue to die.

"Old Li."

"Yeah?"

"Others may not have noticed anything, but both Guili and I know that your improved life is entirely thanks to Rongxin. Without her, you wouldn't have such good luck now..."

"What do you want to say?"

"No matter how life is in the future, don't let her down, and don't let anyone bully her. If you lose her, you may even lose all your luck."

Chen Yinshan spoke seriously and sincerely.

To him, he couldn't help Li Guanxuan with anything, only a few heartfelt words.

Li Guanxuan took a sip of wine and said frankly, "I'm fine, she's fine; as long as I'm alive, she's alive."

Upon hearing this, Chen Yinshan finally felt relieved.

For people like them, low-level scattered cultivators who would never encounter any fortuitous encounters in their lifetime, they naturally had to seize this opportunity to change their luck.

"Old Li, if I die in the future, don't think about avenging me or anything like that. This is our fate, there's no way... What I hope is that if you encounter something like what happened to me in the future, you can lend a helping hand if you have the ability, and if you can't, then forget it. We should only do what we are capable of."

"Of course, you understand these principles better than I do. After all, you have to take several detours just to go home, and you are much more cautious than me..."

"Anyway, if I encounter such a thing in the Ten Thousand Mountains this time, if I have the ability, I will definitely chop those disciples of the dogshit sects who torture people for fun..."

"In the past, my wish was Foundation Building, but now... I hope that the world can be a little fairer, giving hardworking people a chance to survive. We can't let people be scarred all the time..."

"I'm tired, haven't slept for many days. I'll sleep here for a while..."

Chen Yinshan's face was flushed from drinking, his eyes blurred, muttering to himself.

Li Guanxuan didn't disturb him, looking at the bright Milky Way in the sky, murmuring:

"One day, the harsh winter will dissipate, and the Galaxy will shine forever."

When dawn broke.

Chen Yinshan left.

Venturing into the mountains alone.
