The Quest for Immortality

This Brother Ma, indeed has some issues.

The Evil God aura on him originally was acquired aboard the Rouge Boat.

Is the ”Young Master” Hua Ruyu mentioned this Brother Ma?

Mo Hua thought for a moment and shook his head.

This Brother Ma probably doesn’t qualify...

Based on his status, he probably doesn’t match the identity of a Young Master.

On the other side, Hua Ruyu said something else to Brother Ma, who nodded and then turned to leave.

Hua Ruyu pondered for a moment and cautiously looked around before walking in another direction.

The two of them went left and right, in opposite directions.

Mo Hua pondered for a moment and didn’t follow Hua Ruyu, instead choosing the path Brother Ma took, quietly following him.

Brother Ma, tall and thin, walked like the wind, but his alertness was not high, and he did not notice someone secretly following him.

He probably never imagined that given the heavy fog and the secretive nature of the Rouge Boat, someone else could mingle in.

After a moment of walking, Brother Ma came to a secret chamber.

After a brief moment of thought, he knocked on the door.

After a while, the door opened, Brother Ma went in, and closed the door behind him.

Time was tight, and Mo Hua couldn’t clearly see who was inside the room.

But this was not a problem for him.

Climbing windows, breaking formations, and eavesdropping were things he had done twice before, and it was just another repeat now.

Mo Hua skillfully climbed outside the window, repeating his old tricks, and soon could see and hear the situation in the room.

This secret chamber was different from before.

The room where Hua Ruyu and Senior Sister Qianqian were held was all pink, clearly a boudoir.

But this secret chamber had an elegant layout, more like a study.

All around were landscape ink screens, blue and white porcelain, freehand paintings, and plain rugs; there was a tea table in the middle of the room.

At this moment, a man was sitting at the table.

This man, wearing an elegant yellow robe, had an upright build, sword-like brows and starry eyes, with a composed demeanor.

At first sight, Mo Hua sighed silently in his heart.

He recognized this man again.

A direct lineage member of the Tai’a Sect, among the outstanding disciples of his year, highly reputable, and also the immediate elder brother of Little Wood’s...

Ouyang Feng.

Mo Hua had a good relationship with him, always calling him ”Senior Brother Feng”. When he first entered the Taixu Gate, it was Ouyang Feng, with profound cultivation, who led him in earning rewards and accumulating merit points.

Mo Hua felt somewhat conflicted in his heart and his gaze grew a little heavy. .

”Senior Brother Feng is actually on the Rouge Boat...”

Brother Ma entered the room, walked straight to Ouyang Feng, and sat down without a word.

Ouyang Feng ignored him, and Brother Ma didn’t mind.

The room fell silent for a moment, and after a while, Brother Ma spoke, ”Everything’s arranged.”

He placed a jade token on the table and slowly pushed it in front of Ouyang Feng, ”The person is in the room, this is the secret order to open the door.”

Ouyang Feng did not take the jade token or look at Brother Ma and continued drinking tea silently, his expression blank.

Brother Ma sighed, ”Brother Feng, this is a good thing. We have the bond of being in the same sect, our ties are not shallow, how could I harm you?”

Ouyang Feng suddenly looked up, his gaze sharp, and sneered, ”You still remember the bond of the same sect?”

Brother Ma said, ”Brother Feng, this is all for your own good. Others want to board this ship, enter this circle, or be part of that Pavilion, but they don’t have the qualifications.”

”Even if they exhaust themselves begging everywhere, the Young Masters wouldn’t spare them a glance.”

”But Brother Feng, you’re different. The Young Masters value you, they invited you with all means, giving you this opportunity to enter the circle, into the inner sanctum. In the future, you might become a member of the ’Young Masters’ Pavilion.’

Ouyang Feng showed a look of disdain.

Brother Ma sighed, ”Brother Feng, I know you have integrity, but what use is integrity? Can integrity exchange for Spirit Stones? Can it revive the sect?”

”Others may not understand, but Brother Feng, you should know that the Young Masters’ Pavilion isn’t just an ordinary organization for the young masters of families and sect disciples to entertain themselves.”

”This Young Masters’ Pavilion has existed for a very long time. In almost every generation of disciples at the Qian Learning State Boundary, many Heaven’s Chosen Sons have entered this ’Pavilion,’ becoming Young Masters.”

”Now, these former Young Masters have long since left the sect, entering various great families, great sects, upper echelons of the Taoist Court Official, and even the core of the Taoist Court.”

”Their cultivation is at least Golden Core, with many having achieved Feather Transformation, and some even possibly reaching Heaven Void...”

”What a tremendous help this is!”

Brother Ma said in a deep voice.

”Brother Feng, as long as you join this circle, you’ll open a pathway to the true upper echelons of the Cultivation World. Our Tai’a Sect will also be considered ’one of our own’ by the Young Masters, receiving care from all sides. You and the Tai’a Sect will both prosper.”

”And with Brother Feng’s current status, once you take over as the sect leader of Tai’a Sect, and seize some opportunities, allowing Tai’a Sect to progress further and grow, directly advancing to the Four Great Sects is not impossible.”

”The success or failure of an individual, the rise and fall of the sect, all lie within your Thought, Brother Feng.”

Brother Ma’s expression was fervent, and his tone a little excited.

Ouyang Feng remained unmoved.

Seeing this, Brother Ma sighed and his voice grew a bit colder:

”Conversely, if Brother Feng doesn’t appreciate favors, doesn’t enter this circle, naturally, you’ll be an ’outsider,’ and consequently, the Tai’a Sect too will face exclusion in all respects. In the future, even if you become the sect leader of Tai’a Sect, you’ll undoubtedly be single-handedly fighting alone, restricted in every action.

”Moreover, not only that, if you stubbornly go your own way, not only you, but even your family and friends around you might face unexpected dangers...”
