Chapter 58 The Mind Master

"Xia Xue?"

Yu Zhen repeated Xia Xue's name, her eyes filled with curiosity.

Gu Jing continued, "If you're talking about a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl, then it should be Xia Xue."

Yu Zhen nodded in confirmation: "I'm talking about her. May I ask which family she belongs to?"

Gu Jing picked up his teacup, took a sip, and began to speak slowly amidst the subtle aroma of the tea.

"Speaking of Xia Xue, she's the hottest person in Jiangcheng right now. She's the real daughter of the Xia family, the richest family in Jiangcheng, who was lost for eighteen years. She was only reunited with her a few days ago."

Yu Zhen wasn't interested in the gossip and went straight to the point.

"The Xia family, the Shen family's maternal family?"

Gu Jing smiled and nodded, saying, "I noticed Xia Xue because of Nan Li from the Nan family. A few days ago, when Xia Xue attended a gathering, Nan Li recognized her as a member of the Xuanmen sect, and that's how I came to notice her. I also collected some information about her, tsk tsk..."

At this point, Gu Jing shook his head repeatedly, marveling at the sight.

"Although Xia Xue did not grow up in the Xia family, she seems to have had a miraculous encounter. Not only is she proficient in medicine and martial arts, with a solid foundation in internal energy, but she is also skilled in divination. Among the younger generation, she is definitely a standout and a future leader. This time, the Xia family is truly going to rise again."

Yu Zhen ignored Gu Jing's last remark and instead keenly grasped the key point once again.

"The art of divination? She was promoted by the Shen family?" Yu Zhen nodded as if he had thought of something. "She has the blood of the Shen family. If she has enough talent, they will naturally not hesitate to train her."

Gu Jing shook his head, denying Yu Zhen's deduction.

"I observed Shen Zhi Qiu's reaction, and it doesn't seem like he knows Xia Xue exists. He's been busy with the Yellow Millet Technique these past few days and hasn't paid any attention to Xia Xue at all. Xia Xue is right here in Jingyuan, just a few steps away."

After hearing this, Yu Zhen nodded in agreement.

"This certainly doesn't make sense. It seems Shen Zhi Qiu really didn't know Xia Xue before. So, Xia Xue had a fortuitous encounter outside, and she has a different master?"

Gu Jing shook his head, seemingly unconcerned, and said, "I don't know. I don't pay much attention to her. If you hadn't mentioned her, I wouldn't have even thought of her."

Gu Jing thought that Xia Xue had obtained the inheritance of a rogue cultivator and entered the Dao through unorthodox techniques.

Yu Zhen glanced at Gu Jing, shook her head, picked up her teacup, took a sip of tea, and said, "That's because you haven't seen her in person. If you had, you would definitely be interested in her too."

Gu Jing put down his teacup and asked curiously, "Oh, what do you mean?"

Yu Zhen gazed at her and said slowly, "She possesses an extremely pure Taoist aura, truly unforgettable upon first sight."

Gu Jing was now genuinely interested.

"Authentic Taoist practice? That's truly rare. It requires not only a special physique but also compatibility with the cultivation method, and a bit of luck. All three are indispensable."

A hint of envy appeared in Yu Zhen's eyes.

"Yes, before I entered the Dao, I pursued the orthodox Daoist school, but unfortunately, I was not lucky enough to enter the Dao, so I had to switch to my family's traditional cultivation methods. Alas, it's a pity. If we're talking about the methods of longevity, the orthodox Daoist school is still the best."

A hint of a smile flashed in Gu Jing's eyes.

"So you still can't forget about immortality."

Otherwise, Gu Jinggong wouldn't have wished him "prospect of immortality" when he congratulated him earlier.

Yu Zhen quickly shook his head and said, "It's just a fleeting thought, it shouldn't be taken seriously."

Gu Jing didn't expose him. Holding his teacup, he sipped his tea and said, "Why are you so concerned about Xia Xue? Although the Shen family may not know of Xia Xue's existence, don't forget that she has Shen family blood flowing through her veins. If you dare to touch her, the Shen family will definitely not let you off the hook."

Yu Zhen looked at Gu Jing speechlessly.

"Am I a bully? It's just that she's a Taoist with authentic teachings, mysterious methods, and is extremely skilled in health preservation. I just wanted to exchange some health preservation and anti-aging techniques with her."

Yu Zhen was truly obsessed with achieving immortality.

They even have designs on a little girl.

Gu Jing shook his head and chuckled, "Even if Xia Xue has methods for maintaining health and youth, why should she give them to you?"

Yu Zhen, however, seemed quite confident as she leisurely took a sip of tea.

"You, when it comes to methods, all you think of are spells, formations, and artifacts. Have you forgotten what the Taoists excel at?"

Gu Jing then realized what was happening and exclaimed in surprise, "Pills? You want to ask Xia Xue for longevity pills?"

Yu Zhen smiled, blew on the tea, took a sip, and said, "The Youth Preservation Pill isn't out of the question."

The Youth Preservation Pill is no cheaper than the Longevity Pill, especially for female cultivators.

Gu Jing rolled his eyes.

"Even in ancient times, elixirs that could prolong life and preserve youth were extremely rare, let alone now. You're just daydreaming."

Yu Zhen, however, said confidently, "I naturally have my own methods."

Although Gu Jing didn't know what the method was, he believed that Yu Zhen wouldn't joke about this, so he immediately laughed and said, "Good brother, if you get something good, don't forget me!"

Yu Zhen had been waiting for him to say that.

"I'll really need your help then."

Upon hearing this, Gu Jing put down his teacup warily and stared at Yu Zhen seriously, saying, "My Gu family has a family motto: we will never commit murder or robbery."

Yu Zhenchong rolled his eyes at Gu Jing.

"Are we, the Yu family, bandits? Of course not, we don't do murder and robbery, that's what you're good at."

Gu Jing seemed to be deep in thought.

"What I excel at, feng shui formations? Have you found the relics of the ancients, or a hidden secret realm?"

Yu Zhen simply drank his tea without saying a word.

"Stop guessing. We'll let you know when the time is right."

Gu Jing glared fiercely at Yu Zhen.

"You might as well have told me when it was almost time. Telling me now is just torture!"

Yu Zhen laughed heartily.

"That's the effect I wanted, haha."

……

old Town.

Inside a self-built house in an urban village.

An elderly man in his fifties bowed to the person in front of him, who was dressed in a black robe with red lotus patterns, wore a pure white mask, and sat in a wheelchair, and said, "Master Nian, our people are all in place and can make a move at any time."

The figure, seated in a wheelchair with no visible face, slowly raised his head, and a hoarse, aged voice emerged from the pure white mask.

"I've come here to pledge my loyalty, so I'll naturally deliver the fatal blow. However, my mental power has a limited range, while that person's senses are exceptionally sharp, and they possess the combat strength of a Grandmaster. Therefore, I need your help to hold them off and create an opportunity for me to get close to them. Once I'm within eight meters of them, I'm absolutely confident that I can kill them with a single blow."

The old man, bowing before the man in the pure white mask, had a flicker of fear in his eyes.

If the opponent is confident that he can kill the Xuanmen disciple with the strength of Huajin within an eight-meter range with a single blow, he probably won't have to lift a finger to kill him, a pure martial artist.

His expression became more respectful, his bow deeper, and his voice more humble.

"Yes, Master Nian."
