Chapter 275: 139: Heaven knows, earth knows, I don’t know, nurturing Gu Daoist is like old knowledge (Seeking monthly pass)_3 Chapter 275: 139: Heaven knows, earth knows, I don’t know, nurturing Gu Daoist is like old knowledge (Seeking monthly pass)_3 After the war, Jiamu Pass was having a huge sale on many inexpensive Magic Artifacts, and a large number of Cultivators flocked here in the hope of striking it rich.
On the plain outside the huge pass and the surrounding mountains is where the real Immortal’s gateways lie.
And within the nooks and crannies or on the small hills with Spirit Veins are where the Cultivation Families depend on their Sects for survival.
Considering Chen Dengming is currently known as Chen Ming, a Foundation Establishment Cultivator of the Changchun Sect, it is not suitable to directly go to the Luo Family, lest he reveal his current identity, which would also be quite abrupt.
After all, they do not recognize him and would not allow him to take people away.
It would be best to first revert to his former identity, pay a visit first, then discreetly take Xu Wei away.
If he should encounter any trouble during the journey that unsettles his mind, then he would just have to reveal his true identity and forcefully leave.
...
By now, Chen Dengming had figured out that the only thing that could unnerve him, was maybe the Miaoyin Sect.
Since this Sect was searching for him, and Luo Bing was even punished and sent to the Repentance Cave, it must still involve the Demon Star and Human Immortal Dao System.
Although he knew this, he was not fearful.
Not only was he no pushover, but the Changchun Sect and Longevity Sect, who were backing him, were even more powerful than the Miaoyin Sect.
The Nascent Soul of the Miaoyin Sect’s old ancestor who had died a hundred years ago couldn’t possibly dare to bully this Foundation Establishment Cultivator from the Changchun Sect, could they?
Even if they had the nerve, he still had the Token given by Qiu Feng to resolve any trouble.
With this thought, Chen Dengming couldn’t help but feel puzzled.
Why did it always seem like Sect Leader Qiu Feng knew he was going out and what he was going to do, hence the two Tokens?
Could he be so prophetic?
Unless they already knew that he came from Nanxun and all about his background, hence they would also know that the Miaoyin Sect was looking for him.
With this thought, Chen Dengming’s furrowed brows gradually relaxed but his eyes still showed uncertainty.
This possibility was very likely.
In the past, he just vaguely mentioned his affairs at the gathering place, but with the power of Changchun Sect, even if he had hidden traces of his identity from Nanxun well, it was still possible to find some clues.
If this is then connected with the Ascend to Immortal Five Sects, then his hand would have been forced and he wouldn’t even know it himself.
The reason why he never thought about this before was simply that he thought he could not find that remote little place in Nanxun.
But thinking back now, when Liang Yunsheng didn’t press further at the time, it might’ve been his way of hinting at something.
Regardless, if this is indeed the case, then all the better.
This would mean that the Sect won’t probe into his past, would not hold the Demon Star against him, would even intentionally support him.
This is the best scenario, I feel even more secure, joining the Longevity Sect, without worries about the matters of bone age.
If it’s not the case, then it doesn’t really matter…
Chen Dengming changed out of his Sect Robe inside the Spirit Boat, then put away the Spirit Boat before arriving near Jiamu Pass.
He then asked the patrolling Cultivators for the current location of the Luo Family.
Even though he had taken off the Changchun Sect’s vestments, he was still a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, so the patrolling Cultivators respectfully supplied the accurate response.

Chen Dengming thanked them then took off into the sky, heading straight for the Luo Family.
If there was no trouble in the Luo Family and Xu Wei was safe, then his Foundation Establishment strength would be enough to take Xu Wei away.
…
Meanwhile, back in the Changchun Sect.
Liang Yunsheng was currently communicating with Sect Leader Qiu Feng through a Jade Talisman for Message Transmission.
“Sect Leader, since the Miaoyin Sect has been searching for Brother Chen this whole time, why did you still let him go toward the area controlled by the Miaoyin Sect?”
“Yunsheng, every human has limitations.
We Cultivators either sever these limitations to find Dao or use these limitations as motivation to seek Dao.
Regardless of the approach, both are Dao, the path of each individual.
Why should I hinder him from walking his own path?
Moreover, it’s time for the Han Sect Leader from the Miaoyin Sect to know that the person he is looking for now belongs to the Changchun Sect.
And what can he do about this?”
Liang Yunsheng’s expression slightly changed, “Sect Leader, that Sect Leader Han, possesses the power of the Late-stage Golden Core.
Although the Nascent Soul of the Miaoyin Sect is dead, the Sect had a Deity Transformation Dao Lord a thousand years ago.
They might still have some deeper strength…”
“What deeper strength?
Could their strength really be superior to our Longevity Sect?
That Dao Monarch Miaoyin is already long dead, otherwise, they wouldn’t have allowed their Sect’s Nascent Soul to be killed a hundred years ago.
The Miaoyin Sect has declined and is so desperate for others’ Dao Orthodoxy, but this is the wrong path…
Our Longevity Sect is different.
We let things take their natural course.
Whether Chen Dengming has really come into contact with the Human Immortal Dao System or not, we let him develop on his own.
We don’t ask, we don’t pressure him, we don’t demand anything.
We ensure he doesn’t have to suspect anything.”
Just provide him with shelter and time to grow.
In exchange for time, facilitate his future growth and he would, in return, repay the sect’s kindness…”
“Indeed, that is true.”
Liang Yunsheng nodded with a smile.
While one is known by their deeds and not their heart, in hearts, there is no perfection.
Over the past two years, he had quietly observed Chen Dengming and saw that he was a man of character, grateful for the kindness he received.
While he sometimes showed fear for his life, it was normal.
The Longevity Sect had its fair share of cowards.
The question was whether you were a complete coward, an unprincipled person who selfishly took from the Sect without care for its wellbeing, or a principled person who valued gratitude.
We should nurture talents like Chen Dengming, who possessed both virtuous character and gifts.
If the sect wouldn’t nurture him, then who should they nurture?
The leaders of the sect weren’t fools.
If they recklessly cultivated talents based on natural gifts, they might end up cultivating a traitorous Minotaur who would stab the sect in the back during crucial times.
Such incidents had occurred in the Cultivation World over the years.
…
Row upon row of willows, adorned with light yellow branches, which swayed gently with each gust of wind.
The Luo Family’s new base was tucked away in a valley, deep within the willow grove.
The tranquil and pleasant environment was well-suited to Luo Bing’s temperament.
Chen Dengming, wearing a bamboo hat and carrying a large sword on his back as always, visited the Luo Family as an old friend, seeking to meet with Luo Bing, the Family Head, and his old friend, Xu Wei.
Having revealed a hint of ascendant might, he was respectfully ushered in and seated inside the VIP room.
Luo Ping, the Deputy Family Head, was the first to receive the news.
He assumed that it must be a Daoist companion known to Luo Bing, as the guest was a Foundation Establishment-stage cultivator.
Being a mere cultivator at the tenth layer of Qi Cultivation, Luo Ping, despite being the Deputy Family Head, didn’t find it appropriate to welcome the guest before Luo Bing, especially since Luo Bing was within the family vicinity.
Their odd relationship, even within Luo Family, seemed strange.
Among the surrounding families, it gradually became a joke.
Despite Luo Ping not being a son-in-law who married into the family, and being Luo Bing’s lawful husband, acting as a mere Deputy Family Head within Luo’s family for a long time did indeed invite ridicule.
Nevertheless, Luo Ping was unbothered by the judgmental eyes of the outside world.
He knew his internal affairs best.
Even if Luo Bing resisted, in another seven to eight years, some things would inevitably progress naturally.
There was no point in forcing things too much now, especially given Luo Bing had exceptional talent and was a mid-stage Foundation Establishment Cultivator.
If forced too hard, it would be difficult for even a Golden Core Elder from the Elixir Sect to resolve things if Luo Bing decided to fight tooth and nail.
“An old friend who’s a Foundation Establishment cultivator comes to visit?”
In her boudoir, Luo Bing was quite puzzled when she received the news.
She was reserved and didn’t have many friends.
Even when her fellow disciples visited, they usually sent a message in advance.
“Did the visitor state his name?”
“Yes, he refers to himself as Gu Daoist.
He also mentioned that he is an old friend of Miss Xu and wished to meet her as well.
But Miss Xu is….”
“Gu Daoist?!”
Luo Bing’s beautiful eyes flickered as a vivid look of surprise flashed through them.
She instantly got up and hurried to the VIP room.
In the side-hall, Xi’er had also heard the conversation.
At first, she looked confused, not understanding why her young mistress appeared somewhat excited, even her strides were larger than usual.
But the next moment, she understood the meaning.
“Gu Daoist…
Gu?”
“Is it…
him?
A…
Foundation Establishment cultivator?”
Xi’er felt her blood boiling like hot water.
Her heart pounded like a drum being fiercely beaten.
In disbelief, she turned around, clumsily rushed out of the door…
…
…
