Chapter 3388 - 3380: You Must First Get Past My Second Senior Brother
Chapter 3388: Chapter 3380: You Must First Get Past My Second Senior Brother
This kind of statement made Lin Yi recall the words of Master Qingming from Wuling Temple.
He also evaluated himself in the same way.
"Already in control."
"But it’s still not enough."
Lin Yi smiled helplessly, "But in my position, I have no choice."
"I understand," Zhang Youfu said:
"I’m planning to launch a prayer project, only 998 each month, and all of us will pray for you, to calm the killing aura in your heart. As a discount, Senior Brother, I’ll make it ten thousand a year."
"Get lost."
After talking with Zhang Youfu, Lin Yi chatted with others for a while before leaving Hualiang Mountain.
Ring ring ring—
Just after descending the mountain, Lin Yi’s phone rang.
It was a call from Chen Lin.
"Where are you?"
"Out traveling," Lin Yi casually made up an excuse:
"Have you guys returned?"
"Already back in Zhong Hai, passed by the unit to have a look, found you weren’t there."
"I’ll return in a few days, taking a leave with you."
"This isn’t really asking for leave, just notifying me."
"Don’t put it that way, after all, you’re the boss, I’m just an employee."
"How long before you can come back?"
"Is there something on your end?"
"The rural automotive event is about to start. If you could come back, you could help out. I’d have someone reliable by my side."
"Exactly when does it start?"
"In three days."
Lin Yi checked the time, "Should be able to make it back."
"It’s settled then," Chen Lin said:
"Relax these days, once back, it’ll be back to the grind."
"Got it."
After hanging up on Chen Lin, Lin Yi took a taxi to the airport and booked a flight to Danjiang City.
About two hours later, Lin Yi got off the plane.
Once off the plane, he received a message from Li Yongnian.
It said the notification had been received, instructing them to return to Shangqing Palace.
The efficiency was still very fast.
As it was already late, he found a hotel to stay for the night.
In some aspects, this place was somewhat similar to Shangqing Palace.
The city had many stores selling Daoist items, with a strong Daoist atmosphere.
And there were quite a few tourists here, after all, in martial arts novels, the fame of Wudang Mountain’s Purple Cloud Palace was much greater than the Shangqing Palace of Longhu Mountain.
After eating some local delicacies at night, he returned to the hotel to rest. Early the next morning, he took a taxi to Wudang Mountain.
Compared to Longhu Mountain, the natural scenery here was much more magnificent and vast.
Purple Cloud Palace stood beneath the main peak.
Looking from afar, amidst its aged appearance, it still showcased grandeur, making one feel small standing before it.
Lin Yi stood quietly where he was, suddenly feeling a bit emotional.
No matter how powerful humans are, they’re small before nature.
Humans overcoming nature is merely a beautiful wishful thinking.
"Sigh..."
He sighed silently.
Lin Yi considered that perhaps in some matters, he was also powerless.
Following the tourists, Lin Yi slowly walked toward Purple Cloud Palace.
"Is it certain that the old Daoist priest at Purple Cloud Palace is very skilled?"
Upon hearing voices, Lin Yi turned his head to take a look.
He noticed a burly man with beefy muscles, standing there, bulkier than an average person.
Beside him stood four others, three men and one woman.
They were fiddling with phones and equipment such as stands.
Just by looking at these, it was evident that these people were doing live broadcasts.
"We’ve never seen him fight, but I heard the old man is very skilled."
The person speaking was a skinny guy beside him.
Dressed fashionably, wearing an MLB cap, with an ear piercing on one side.
"Isn’t this messing around? If it doesn’t work, one move from me could easily turn deadly. If I really kill, who’s responsible?"
"Relax, it won’t be that weak," said the man wearing the hat:
"Don’t forget, he’s the president of the national Daoist Association. If he wasn’t capable, how could he have reached this position."
"That’s simple, relying on connections, that’s how society is nowadays, completely normal."
"Not necessarily, I’ve heard many people say the host at Purple Cloud Palace is indeed capable, not as lacking as you suggest," said the man with the hat:
"Moreover, even if he was lacking, for us, it’s beneficial. You’re here to challenge him for publicity; if you knock him down with one move, you’ll go viral."
"That’s not wrong, but I’m afraid one punch might kill him."
"Just don’t use too much force, go easy."
"Okay, I’ll give it a try."
Lin Yi stood a bit further away, able to clearly hear their conversation.
Such people, he had seen them before at Shangqing Palace, unexpectedly seeing them here again.
He didn’t know Li Fu’s level, but since Zhang Youfu could withstand his three-tenths force, Li Fu might not be too bad either.
As they were setting up their equipment, Lin Yi didn’t bother with them further.
Slowly walked into the main hall of Purple Cloud Palace.
The only difference here compared to other places was the worship of Emperor Ziwei, unlike other places which worship the statues of the Three Pure Ones.
Upon entering the hall, Lin Yi bought three sticks of incense, followed the customs, and placed them in the burner after bowing.
Passing through the main hall to the open area at the back, he found disciples practicing martial arts.
Lin Yi quietly stood aside, watching the scene. To ordinary people, these were merely exercises in health and fitness, but Lin Yi saw within them the Qi and stance Zhang Youfu mentioned.
However, these people hadn’t reached a significant level, their methods of cultivation were limited, and adding their attitudes, achieving high accomplishments was difficult.
Some things, as long as you believe and persist, can lead to unexpected results.
Otherwise, no matter how good the thing is, it won’t be effective.
But it proves they’re on the right path.
So Lin Yi watched silently, for over half an hour.
Until the Senior Brother supervising the disciples noticed Lin Yi’s presence.
"This layman, we’ve noticed you’ve been standing here for a while. Are you interested in Daoist martial arts?"
The man appeared to be in his thirties or forties; due to his simple attire, his specific age was hard to determine, yet he was very polite in speech.
"If you’re truly interested, you could give it a try, I could teach you some health-improving moves."
"I’m just looking, I won’t interrupt your cultivation."
"Alright then."
The Senior Brother returned to guiding the disciples in their cultivation.
Just then, Lin Yi heard voices behind him.
It was the same group he had encountered earlier.
They had set up their live streaming equipment, displaying an eager expression on their faces.
"Seems like we’ve lost our way. Their host should not be in such a place," said the woman in the group.
