Chapter 42: Identity
“Oh, if you don’t know how to read, the sect’s main study hall offers basic literacy classes. You could go there to learn.”
Shen Qingyi nodded.
“This disciple knows some characters.”
She Zijiang smiled warmly and nodded.
“Was it taught by that academy’s teacher?”
“Yes, this disciple was able to come to the sect also thanks to the teacher’s great help.”
Hearing the gratitude in his disciple’s words, the smile in She Zijiang’s eyes deepened.
She was someone who knew how to be grateful.
However, while feeling pleased and appreciative, She Zijiang did not forget to offer guidance.
“Your master and the sect’s Elders are already aware. The sect has also given him many rewards, but that is what he deserved. Since he helped Qingyi, your master will also have the people below send him another gift.”
“Master…”
She Zijiang interrupted Shen Qingyi.
“Qingyi, he helped you out of his kindness. But for those who cultivate immortality, once they enter the immortal sect, what should be forgotten must be forgotten, what should be let go must be let go. The immortal path is long, the road of cultivation is rough. To succeed in the Great Dao, being overly sentimental is ultimately not beneficial for the immortal journey.”
“His kindness has already borne fruit. Your master giving him another gift is to repay his kindness. This karma is settled here. Of course, your master is not telling you to treat all this as a mere transaction of benefits.”
“Within the Cultivation World, while cultivation is primary, to walk far, resources, intelligence, perseverance, luck, and more are all necessary.”
“He helped you; that is the fate between you. You can remember this bond of kindness between you, but you must not become trapped by it.”
Shen Qingyi was still a bit confused. Although she was not truly a child of a few years, her age in her previous life was not that great either.
She hadn’t experienced major storms and waves. At this moment, listening to She Zijiang’s words, she only half-understood.
Seeing the confusion in Shen Qingyi’s eyes, She Zijiang patted her head again.
“You are still young. It’s okay if you don’t understand. Moreover, some things cannot be fully grasped just by your master explaining them to you.”
“When you grow up and have experienced the myriad things and laws of this world, you will naturally have your own insights and understand what the Dao is, what Cultivation is.”
Sometimes, everyone understands the principles.
No matter how eloquently others speak, it is not as real as experiencing it oneself.
“Considering you are still young now, regarding your matters, the sect and your master will take care of them.”
Shen Qingyi nodded.
“Thank you, Master.”
She Zijiang laughed.
“You are your master’s fifth disciple. Above you, you have three senior brothers and one senior sister. Your Eldest Senior Brother, Lin Xun, is currently at the Golden Core stage. Your Second Senior Sister, Gu Mingxue, is at the Mid Foundation Building Stage. Your Third Senior Brother, Chu Yuliang, is at the Early Foundation Building Stage. And your fourth senior brother, Lu Jingqing, is at the Mid Qi Refining Stage.”
“Now, you are Little Five of Luohong Hall on Tianshui Peak.”
She Zijiang turned his head and saw Shen Qingyi standing there stunned.
“What’s wrong?”
What was wrong?
Shen Qingyi’s heart pounded violently.
At this moment, she finally remembered something else.
Her master said he was a Nascent Soul True Monarch of Tianshui Peak, but Tianshui Peak definitely had more than one Nascent Soul True Monarch.
But the famous one from Tianshui Peak, with a great reputation in the Cultivation World, definitely on the Daoist Faction’s list of the top ten Heaven’s Chosen Ones, was Tianshui Peak’s Luohong Linshui True Monarch.
And Linshui True Monarch’s real name wasn’t very recognizable in the original work at first. What really made him famous in the original book was another matter!
As a Heaven’s Chosen One of that generation, he was a renowned genius of the Daoist Faction. Heavenly Water Spirit Root, nearly full Spiritual Root value, also exceedingly intelligent.
He was the beloved disciple of Tianshui Peak’s original Peak Master, just a very low-profile person.
Even though the outside world hailed him as outstanding, few cultivators in the Cultivation World had ever seen his real person.
And this originally low-profile Linshui True Monarch later shook the entire Cultivation World because of one event.
