I Seek Immortality Through Serendipity

”He doesn’t want to become Dao companions with you because he thinks you’re just a burden to him.”

”If today you were a Golden Core cultivator, do you think he would still refuse?”

The Daoist turned his head, advising the young girl beside him.

Bian Chuyao’s face was pale, biting her red lips, remaining silent.

”Alas!”

The Daoist sighed deeply, flicking his finger, and a jade-green Spirit Leaf fell into Bian Chuyao’s mouth, turning into a beam of azure spirit light, mending the backlash from her Heart Fire Killing Seal.

With her injuries healed, Bian Chuyao’s complexion improved significantly. Looking at her grandfather, she couldn’t help but lower her head and say, ”Granddaughter wasn’t moved by feelings, I just wanted to bind a prodigy to the family.”

”Hmph, I’m still alive, there’s no need for you to scheme for the family!”

The Daoist snorted coldly upon hearing this.

He naturally knew his precious granddaughter had only a slight fondness for Gu Yuan, not enough to speak of love.

But matters between men and women often start from such a slight fondness.

A mere fondness can subconsciously lead to favoritism and to decisions that aren’t rational.

He did not cultivate the path of emotionlessness and would not hinder the affairs of youngsters.

But since Gu Yuan was unwilling, he would swiftly cut the Gordian knot, making Bian Chuyao also quickly sever this slight fondness.

Otherwise, the entanglement would only grow.

”Your talent and root bone surpass his. That boy just took some crooked paths to reach his current cultivation.”

”What you lack is a bit of ruthlessness!”

”In the path of cultivation, I alone stand supreme!”

”Don’t overthink things. The family does not require your worries. Focus on your cultivation; whether you succeed or fail, it’s all up to fate!”

The Daoist turned his head, speaking solemnly.

”Yes, grandfather!”

Bian Chuyao nodded in agreement.

”Then go to the Earth Flame Cave, cultivate diligently. Until you refine the Purple Gold Flowing Flame, do not emerge!”

The Daoist instructed.

”Grandfather, how long until the battle for the True Inheritance? Do I still have time?”

Bian Chuyao halted her steps, lifted her head, and asked worriedly.

”You, you!”

”Always overthinking.”

The Daoist sighed helplessly but still explained, ”With my mediation, it should be postponed for thirty years. By then, you should be at late-stage Foundation Establishment, enough to contend for the True Inheritance Position!”

”Can Senior Brother Gu seize the True Inheritance?”

Bian Chuyao asked again.

”Are you concerned about him?”

The Daoist frowned.

”It’s just to understand his strength better, to be targeted!”

Bian Chuyao softly explained.

”If he can break through to late-stage Foundation Establishment within thirty years and further his sword technique, he should have a chance.”

The Daoist, helplessly, could only answer.

”Can he rank in the top three?”

”Difficult!”

”The contest for the True Inheritance is not like your trivial games at the Flowing Cloud Banquet, it’s about the Golden Core, a thousand-year scheme. Even I must pave the way for you, let alone the other Seven Clans?”

”Not to mention, just in terms of spiritual artifacts, he’s already lacking. Today, if you used the Nine Flames Spirit Pearl, he would undoubtedly lose!”

”The foundation of a noble family, accumulated over the years, is to nurture a top-three True Inheritance; the competition is fierce indeed!”

The Daoist couldn’t help but sigh deeply.

”Grandfather, I just remembered, I have a treasure that can enhance my strength!”

Bian Chuyao’s beautiful eyes turned, suddenly saying.

”Oh?”

The Daoist’s eyes lifted, showing some interest.

What kind of treasure could compare to the Purple Gold Flowing Flame he bestowed?

”Ancient Seal!”

”I have a method to cultivate the Ancient Seal stored in our clan!”

Bian Chuyao said with a smile.

”Oh? Do you have a Cyan Lotus Dao Seed?”

This time, the Daoist felt somewhat surprised, involuntarily looking at his granddaughter with admiration.

The Dao-One Cyan Lotus Seed, though not of high grade, is extremely rare, almost unseen. Even with his Golden Core status, he had never encountered it over the years.

His granddaughter actually has such a chance?

”I don’t have a Cyan Lotus Dao Seed, but I know someone who does!”

Bian Chuyao looked outside the hall, speaking with intent.

”Hmm?!”

The Daoist, with his sharp mind, immediately understood and then revealed a deep helplessness.

Did his contest seem to backfire?

”Grandfather, rest assured, it’s just an agreement from back then!”

”Gu Yuan, sooner or later, I’ll trample him beneath my feet!”

Bian Chuyao’s beautiful eyes focused, speaking seriously.

Dare to reject her! Sooner or later, she’d teach this rascal a lesson!
