Infinite Save: I Cultivate Immortality Through Reincarnation

“Oh?”

Chen Yan was somewhat surprised by Qin Yue’s statement:

“You said it yourself, the Purple Mansion Kongshan Art is a mental cultivation method founded upon the basis of the Kongshan Art, so naturally there would be differences.”

“Senior Brother Chen, that’s not what I mean.”

Qin Yue seemed a bit anxious. Her personality was somewhat too soft, so when flustered, tears would involuntarily well up in her eyes:

“What I mean is, the Purple Mansion Kongshan Art is different from the Kongshan Art, and it’s also different from the Pure Dust Glazed Art. Also, it’s different from the other fragmented mental cultivation methods my master found for me.”

“I still don’t quite understand.”

“… I don’t know how to explain it either. It’s just a very special feeling. Perhaps, perhaps when my cultivation is higher, I can explain it clearly.”

Chen Yan was also left in a fog by what he heard.

But he cared deeply about what Qin Yue said.

“Ahem! Ahem!”

Suddenly, two more coughs came from the entrance of Chen Yan’s courtyard.

Chen Yan looked towards the courtyard gate and saw Lin Qifeng standing there, hands clasped behind his back, watching the two in the courtyard with keen interest:

“Having an argument?”

“No.”

Chen Yan shook his head:

“Discussing the Dao.”

“Oh, discussing the Dao until you’ve almost made the young lady cry?”

Lin Qifeng stepped into the courtyard, speaking in a tone that seemed both teasing and mocking:

“You, kid, you really have some skill when it comes to debating the Dao. Next time there’s a sect debate, you should go have a proper argument with that old man Fu Qian.”

Seeing Lin Qifeng enter the courtyard, Qin Yue showed a somewhat bewildered expression.

Then she looked at Chen Yan in confusion.

Only then did Chen Yan remember to introduce him to Qin Yue:

“This is my master, the personal disciple of Sect Leader Yun Yichen, Lin Qifeng.”

“Qin Yue of Qingchan Peak, greets Lin…”

She had only spoken halfway when Qin Yue’s face rapidly began to turn pale:

“Greets Lin, Martial Uncle Lin…”

Both Chen Yan and Lin Qifeng were very surprised by Qin Yue’s sudden panic.

“Then, I won’t disturb you any further!”

Qin Yue hurriedly performed a bow and quickly left Chen Yan’s courtyard.

“What’s up with that little girl?”

Lin Qifeng asked, puzzled.

“I don’t know. She just reacted strangely immediately after hearing your name.”

Chen Yan said.

“Oh?”

Lin Qifeng clicked his tongue:

“Could it be that old fox Bai Qiming said something bad about me to that little girl?”

“Elder Bai probably isn’t that bored.”

Chen Yan shook his head.

“Hah.”

Lin Qifeng gave a cold laugh:

“Are you thinking, what kind of nobody am I, that I would even warrant the second most important figure of Qingchan Peak, the True Dharma Elder of Qingchan, speaking ill of me?”

“This disciple absolutely does not mean that.”

Chen Yan bowed with clasped hands.

“Relax, I don’t blame you.”

Lin Qifeng placed his hands behind his back, striking a pose of a lofty master:

“Because if I were you, I’d think the same thing.”

Chen Yan was speechless.

“So, what were you arguing about with Qin Yue just now?”

Lin Qifeng asked.

“This disciple was discussing the Purple Mansion Kongshan Art with Junior Sister Qin.”

Chen Yan paused. After considering for two breaths, he decided to be honest with Lin Qifeng:

“Junior Sister Qin believes that the Purple Mansion Kongshan Art I founded differs too greatly from the Kongshan Art, and is completely different from the Pure Dust Glazed Art and the other mental cultivation methods she has read.”

Hearing this, Lin Qifeng’s expression became somewhat surprised:

“That little girl with the Glazed Pure Body is indeed extraordinary. That old fox Bai Qiming really found a treasure.”

“What does Master mean by that?”

Chen Yan asked, not understanding.

“That little girl is right. Your Purple Mansion Kongshan Art differs greatly from the vast majority of mental cultivation methods in this world, even the Kongshan Art.”

Lin Qifeng looked at Chen Yan with a suspicious expression:

“Do you really not understand, or are you pretending?”

“… This disciple truly does not understand.”

Chen Yan said.

“I don’t believe you.”

Lin Qifeng waved his hand:

“But I’m willing to play along with your act.”

To this day, Lin Qifeng was still wary of Chen Yan.

He always felt Chen Yan might be the reincarnation of some great power from the Immortal Ascension Realm.

“Although over eighty percent of your Purple Mansion Kongshan Art is the unchanged Kongshan Art, those less than twenty percent modifications have had an enormous impact on the Kongshan Art.”

Lin Qifeng said.

“What impact?”

“It made the Purple Mansion Kongshan Art no longer resemble a cultivation method from the Chenping Continent.”

Lin Qifeng said.

Chen Yan’s heart tightened.

That was indeed true. Whether it was the Purple Mansion Record or the Hidden Immortal Art, they were definitely not mental cultivation methods belonging to the Chenping Continent.

The mental cultivation methods of the Five Great Sects were already the top methods of the Chenping Continent, and the long-lost mental cultivation method of Heavenly Summit Mountain wasn’t much stronger than those of the Five Great Sects either.

But the Purple Mansion Record and the Hidden Immortal Art were far, far ahead of the mental cultivation methods of the Five Great Sects in this world.

It was almost a gap of an entire tier.

“The great Dao may have different paths, but they all lead to the same destination. At least that’s the case on the Chenping Continent.”

Lin Qifeng said:

“Although there are at least over a hundred thousand types of immortal cultivation mental methods in this world… let’s just say there are a hundred thousand types total. Among them, ninety-nine thousand nine hundred and ninety types have completely identical directions of true qi circulation.”

“What about the other ten types?”

Chen Yan asked.

“Who knows?”

Lin Qifeng retorted.

Chen Yan suddenly began to worry. He started to fear whether promoting the Purple Mansion Kongshan Art within the Kongshan Sect was a mistake.

It wasn’t that he wasn’t cautious, but under the influence of information disparity, no matter how cautious one is, mistakes can still be made.

“Are you regretting promoting the Purple Mansion Kongshan Art?”

Lin Qifeng said with a smile.

“…”

Chen Yan remained silent, neither affirming nor denying.

“Don’t worry too much. I think within the entire Kongshan Sect, there are probably only three people total who can detect that subtle difference in true qi circulation.”

“Who are they?”

“One is me, another is that little girl Qin Yue.”

“And the other?”

“The Supreme Pivot Elder of Kongshan.”

Lin Qifeng said.

The Supreme Pivot Elder of Kongshan.

He was the person truly standing at the pinnacle of power within the Kongshan Sect.

His cultivation at the late-stage Dao Union Realm was enough to look down upon the entire world in this current era.

“As for the Supreme Pivot Elder, you don’t need to consider him for now. Under normal sect operations, he won’t interfere in anything.”

Lin Qifeng said:

“As for my situation, you understand it. As for Qin Yue, that girl’s current cultivation is too shallow, and she still needs to practice the Pure Dust Glazed Art. You just need to make her lose interest in the Purple Mansion Kongshan Art.”

That was indeed true.

Chen Yan currently didn’t need to do much at all.

“So, Master.”

Chen Yan said:

“Why did you come looking for me?”

“To show your face.”

Lin Qifeng said.

“Still need to show my face?”

Chen Yan asked, confused.

When the ferry landed, Chen Yan had already shown his face at the bow of the ship, letting the world know exactly who the Chief Disciple of Kongyuan Mountain of the Kongshan Sect was.

“Of course. You’ve only shown your face in front of those country bumpkins so far.”

Lin Qifeng said, then revealed a smile of unclear meaning:

“The Dao Inquirers of the Five Great Sects are all waiting for you now.”
