I Have A Dual World Seal

The next morning, Blood Qi boiled like a furnace!

"Haha, consume my flesh, grind my marrow?" Lu Zheng sneered, "Jade Seal! Amplify!"

"Buzz!"

A few strands of the Light of Fortune were consumed, and Lu Zheng's Blood Qi and True Qi surged significantly, "Let's see you wear me out? Even if Daji came, she'd still be knocked down!"

...

"Young Master Lu, you're awake, please come this way. First, wash up, your breakfast is already prepared in the front hall."

As he opened the door, Lu Zheng saw Huangfu Ning waiting in the courtyard. Upon seeing him, he smiled and greeted, "Master Guangyue is already up, he just passed by."

"Alright, thank you, Cousin." Lu Zheng nodded, "No need to call me 'Young Master,' just 'Lu Lang' is fine."

"Sure, sure, sure!" Huangfu Ning's smile brightened even more. Since Lu Zheng altered his address first, it wouldn't be pleasant to keep a distance, "Lu Lang, come quickly. The Old Lady wants to ask about my aunt and Qingyan."

Lu Zheng nodded, washed up in the prepared copper basin in the courtyard, and then went to the front hall, where Master Guangyue was sitting solemnly before breakfast, yet hadn't touched his chopsticks.

"Master hasn't eaten?" Lu Zheng asked, puzzled.

Master Guangyue shook his head, "Waiting for Dao Brother."

Lu Zheng blinked, the man was quite polite... except…

"Dao Brother, after a night of quiet cultivation, do you feel better, with your cultivation more advanced and your heart more transparent?" Master Guangyue asked seriously.

"No." Lu Zheng said flatly, "I just felt stifled, not used to it."

"That's alright, you'll get used to it." Master Guangyue nodded.

Lu Zheng: 눈_눈

Ignoring him, Lu Zheng greeted the Old Lady, then invited Huangfu Ru and Huangfu Ning to sit and started discussing some matters about the Liu Family in Tonglin County.

...

"So the Liu Family in Tonglin County is doing well, rest assured." Lu Zheng said, "Now that Leng Jian is dead, we can visit more often, and if you're interested, you can move to Tonglin County."

The Old Lady shook her head, "Forget it, it's hard to leave the hometown, I'm used to living here. Besides, without Leng Jian, hardly anyone around Wanfu County can trouble us now."

Lu Zheng nodded, the Old Lady was old, her vital energy waning, her three treasures unbalanced, and hard to fight for long, but Huangfu Ru's Dao practice was quite decent, at least stronger than that Huang Jing'er, plus with the number of people in the Huangfu Family, crowding up still posed a threat.

"Okay then, I'll have Cousin Ning come back first after I return." Lu Zheng said.

...

After breakfast, Lu Zheng did not linger, bidding farewell and leaving.

Master Guangyue followed out as well, and the two left the Huangfu Family's estate one after another, then walked out of the mountain outskirts, reaching the official road quickly, coming to a fork.

"I'm heading home, where is Master headed?" Lu Zheng cupped his hands, implying they part ways here.

Master Guangyue shook his head, "The poor monk travels widely, comes from where he came, goes to where he goes, dwelling nowhere, moving with the heart."

Lu Zheng blinked, what does that mean?

Master Guangyue advised again, "Dao Brother, you are young, exceptionally talented, with profound Dao practice, a gift from the heavens, still you must focus on cultivation, don't get attached to women or mundane affairs."

"I understand, thank you for your advice, Master, I will consider it." Lu Zheng nodded, cupping his hands to say farewell, "Then I will take my leave, Master, goodbye, till we meet again!"

...

"Master?"

Lu Zheng looked back in surprise, only to see Master Guangyue swiftly following behind him.

"Amitabha Buddha!"

Master Guangyue uttered a Buddhist name, nodded with a smile at Lu Zheng, "The poor monk wanders, now destined with Dao Brother, so I shall accompany Dao Brother for a while."

Lu Zheng: ???

"Dao Brother, you met the Fox Girl in the secular world, know little about each other, and yet, emotions develop. I know that forcing advice like this won't work." Guangyue insightfully said.

"Then you..."

"Dao Brother, since we're on the road with nothing to do, how about I recite some scriptures for you?" Guangyue said, without waiting for Lu Zheng to refuse, he directly began, "Observing Avalokitesvara, practicing profound wisdom, perceives all five aggregates as empty, thus alleviating all suffering and distress..."

What the heck!

Are you trying to convert me?

"Master, I'm practicing Daoism, not interested in Buddhist scriptures..." Lu Zheng retorted, "Hearing you recite like this makes me sleepy..."

With that said, Lu Zheng sped up his pace, racing forward.

"Dao Brother, your current practice isn't deep, though your cultivation is profound, your mindset is still hindered by mortal emotions." Guangyue advised, "Once your heart deepens, you will know this vast world, your trivial love is but fleeting.

Resolving it now is good for you and for her, otherwise, when you realize it too late, yet you both are deeply in love, it's easy to breed a heart demon, which is greatly harmful. Dao Brother, I'm saying this for your own good."

"It is also my chosen path." Lu Zheng replied.

"Why persist, Dao Brother?" Guangyue shook his head, "Fine, then I shall take a step back. How about Dao Brother travels with the poor monk and after three years if Dao Brother still holds on to old feelings, it wouldn't be too late."

Lu Zheng: ???

What the heck!

Is this your step back?

"Master, no need to say more, I do not wish to travel the world with you." Lu Zheng gritted his teeth.

"Amitabha Buddha!" Guangyue uttered a Buddhist name, then saw Lu Zheng run onto a smaller path.

"Hmm?" Guangyue's eyes flashed with a divine light, seeing Lu Zheng's figure disappear while his true form continued on the main road.

"Dao Brother, if you hadn't revealed the Illusion Technique yesterday, this poor monk might have actually been fooled today." Guangyue caught up again, "Dao Brother, you already have a century of cultivation, why remain in one county, come join the poor monk on travels, broaden your horizons?"

"Master, if you continue, I may act!"

"Dao Brother, the poor monk just doesn't want to see such a talent as you fall." Guangyue said, "Let's spar, it'll also be good if we travel together later, more adept at eliminating demons as a team."

"Who the heck wants to travel with you!"

Lu Zheng couldn't hold it anymore, turning back with a punch, executing the first move of the Eighteen Mountain-Carrying Techniques, Bow Step Punch!

"Dao Brother practices both Daoism and Martial!" Guangyue was both surprised and pleased, and also threw a punch.

"Bang!"

Lu Zheng stepped back, twisted his figure, then used his left hand to shoot two fingers under his ribs, several strands of white Cloud Qi entwined around Guangyue.

"Amitabha Buddha!"

Guangyue spun the wooden stick in his hand, dispersing the white cloud, his eyes glowing, a palm strike came, on the palm a "卍" character shimmered with golden light, carrying the power to subdue the divine soul, pressing towards Lu Zheng.

"Come on then!"

Lu Zheng operated the Nine Heavens Golden Palace True God Transformation Technique, one hand casting the Jinhua Curse, the other channeling Blood Qi, using the Mountain-Bearing Fist.

"Bang!"

Lu Zheng stood unmoved while Guangyue retreated three steps.
