Chapter 198 Eternal Spring Valley
Leigu Mountain.

In the valley of the deaf and dumb.

A stone table now exists where the Zhenlong chessboard originally stood.

Chu Yuan and Wuyazi sat opposite each other.

It was already half a month after Su Xinghe invited martial arts heroes from all over the world to crack the Zhenlong chess game.

Wuyazi took out four blue-covered thread-bound martial arts manuals, placed them in front of Chu Yuan and said:

"My dear friend, these are the four martial arts of my Xiaoyao Sect. They are my thank you gift for saving my life."

Chu Yuan was surprised when he heard this: "Four books, shouldn't it be three?"

Wuyazi smiled and said, "It's not calculated that way. My friend, you gave me three martial arts books, each of which is rare and unique in the world, and it also has a miraculous effect on my healing, so I gave you an extra book as a reward."

Chu Yuan looked at the four martial arts secret books in front of him on the table.

He picked it up and looked at the names of the secret books, which were: "Northern Divine Art", "Light Steps on Water", "Six Yang Palms of Tianshan", and "Sound Transmission and Soul Searching Technique".

Wuyazi continued, "Based on your martial arts, I'm afraid ordinary martial arts are useless to you. This is the martial arts I carefully selected from my sect that are suitable for you."

Chu Yuan put down the secret book and said, "How do you understand this?"

Wuyazi picked up the tea on the table and took a sip. "The Divine Art of the North Sea and Light Footsteps are both the fundamental martial arts of my Xiaoyao Sect. One can absorb other people's abilities and use them for oneself, and the other is my sect's unique light skill, which is extremely exquisite and can be used to fight against the enemy or to lift the body lightly. As for the Tianshan Six Yang Palm, this palm method is extremely powerful. When the palm is released, the left and right palms can use two different internal forces of yin and yang to fight the enemy. My friend's Tiangang Disha Palm seems to have both yin and yang forces, so this palm method may be beneficial to my friend. As for the last martial art..."

Wuyazi paused and then said, "It is the 'Sound Transmission and Soul Searching Technique'. Although I have not practiced it, I know a little bit about it. It is a martial art that allows practitioners to speak with profound internal strength. Others cannot hear it, and only designated people can hear it. Moreover, after the practitioner has mastered this martial art, the sound is extremely penetrating and can locate others within the sound range."

Chu Yuan's heart moved when he heard this. He felt that this martial art was very similar to the method of "transmitting sound" in the world of immortals and heroes.

I have to say that the Tianlong world is worthy of being the martial arts world closest to immortals. Many of the martial arts in it are extremely similar to the abilities in the immortal world.

In addition to this "Sound Transmission and Soul Searching Technique", there is also Tianshan Tonglao's "I Am the Only One in the Eight Desolations and Six Directions", which can rejuvenate.

In addition, there is the Dali Duan family's "Six Meridians Divine Sword" passed down from his third brother Duan Yu, which is able to shoot out sword energy with fingers, which is somewhat beyond the scope of martial arts.

"Thank you, senior."

After Chu Yuan expressed his thanks, he accepted the four martial arts. Regardless of whether he would practice them in the future or not, as the four martial arts of the Xiaoyao Sect, a sect of immortal cultivation in the martial arts world, they have extremely high research value.

After Chu Yuan accepted the four martial arts secret manuals, he thought of the Immortal Evergreen Valley again. He asked, "Senior, have you ever heard of the Immortal Evergreen Valley?"

Wuyazi's eyes slightly changed, and he asked in surprise, "Immortal Eternal Spring Valley?"

Then he looked Chu Yuan up and down, with a puzzled and surprised expression, and asked: "My friend, where did you know this name?"

Chu Yuan found an excuse for himself: "I saw it in an ancient book. I also know a little about the Xiaoyao Sect. I think the Xiaoyao Sect may be related to the legendary Eternal Spring Valley, so I asked this question."

Wuyazi lowered his head and thought for a moment, and felt that Chu Yuan was his savior. Although this matter was a top secret of the Xiaoyao Sect, there was no need to hide it from Chu Yuan.

Wuyazi then said to Chu Yuan:

"I do know about this Immortal Eternal Spring Valley, and my Xiaoyao Sect is indeed related to this Valley. Actually, I am a second-generation disciple of the Xiaoyao Sect."

"The second generation of Xiaoyao Sect disciples are me, my senior sister Wu Xingyun, and my junior sister Li Qiushui. Li Qiushui is also my wife."

"Later, when we were living in seclusion in Wuliang Mountain in Dali, I focused on jade carving and inevitably neglected her. She then teamed up with my evil disciple and wanted to kill me, but I was saved by another disciple of mine, Su Xinghe, who harmed me into what I was before. Our master's name is Xiaoyaozi."

Chu Yuan asked: "Xiaoyaozi... Could it be that the Xiaoyao Sect is named after the senior master?"

Wuyazi said, "I have asked Master this question before, but Master never responded directly. He just said that our Xiaoyao Sect is named after Xiaoyao, and everyone behaves freely. I don't know if this is a good thing or a bad thing. I just hope that the three of us brothers and sisters will not quarrel with each other in the future. Who knew that Master's words would come true."

Wuyazi then reacted and said with a smile:
"I'm getting off topic. To be honest, the only time I heard about this was when Master passed on the position of Xiaoyao Sect's leader and the leader's token, the 'Seven Star Ring', to me."

"Master once said that he had found a 'Valley of Eternal Youth' in the southernmost part of Dali. In that valley, there appeared a scripture that could make people immortal. However, this scripture was difficult to practice. It could only be practiced by a person with excellent qualifications, understanding, and talent."

"Later, Master used this scripture to found the Xiaoyao Sect and many of its martial arts. Among the many martial arts of the Xiaoyao Sect, only the 'Eight Wastelands and Six Directions, I Am the Only One' that Senior Sister practices retains some of the immortality properties of the scripture, but it also has the drawback of reverting to youth every thirty years."

Chu Yuan pretended not to know: "Isn't rejuvenation a good thing? It is a state that can only be achieved by immortals who have achieved success in cultivation as recorded in the Taoist scriptures?"

Wuyazi said, "My friend, you don't know that rejuvenation is a good thing, but after rejuvenation, your skills will return to their original state. If you want to restore your skills, you need to practice every day, one day is one year, and you must drink fresh blood at noon to practice. This is a huge disadvantage for people who practice this martial art. When she is rejuvenated, it is also the most dangerous time for her. Her enemies will come to seek revenge."

Chu Yuan suddenly realized: "So that's it."

Chu Yuan asked again: "Senior, do you know any other news about the Changchun Immortal Valley?"

Wuyazi recalled: "According to my master, in the Eternal Spring Valley, besides the scripture that can make people immortal, there is also a very magical spring. Anyone who drinks from the spring can live to be two or three hundred years old. Everyone in the Eternal Spring Valley can live to be over two hundred years old, and even centenarians have black hair and rosy complexion, just like teenagers."

Chu Yuan's heart moved, and he thought of what he had felt before, that thing that was like the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

I wonder if the spring water that Wuyazi said could make people immortal if drunk also contains the same spiritual energy from heaven and earth.

Chu Yuan asked: "Senior, do you know the exact location of this Changchun Immortal Valley?"

Wuyazi shook his head and said, "I don't know about that, but in the nearly 100 years since Dali was founded, it is said that there have been three times when people who claimed to be from the Immortal Valley appeared. They also said that they could live forever, but the fact is that they would still grow old slowly. Many people regarded their words as a joke. If you are interested, you can go to Dali to inquire about this matter."

Chu Yuan cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, senior, for telling me this."

Wuyazi waved his hand and said, "It's not an important matter anyway. You saved my life, so you don't need to bear it in mind."

The purpose of coming to Leigu Mountain has been achieved. Chu Yuan stood up and said, "Senior, I have been on Leigu Mountain for a long time. I am the Green Lotus Envoy of the Beggars' Sect. It is not good for me to stay outside for long. I am going to say goodbye and return to the sect."

Since the Xiaoyao Sect's Zhenlong chess game ended half a month ago, all the heroes from all over the world who were invited to attend have already left. Deputy leader Ma Dayuan and elder Wu Changfeng, who had led the Beggar Gang disciples, have also left.

Chu Yuan stayed in Leigushan temporarily because of Wuyazi's request. He let his master Ma Dayuan and Wu Changfeng leave first, and he would return to the Beggars' Sect later.

As for the outcome of this Zhenlong chess game, it was actually broken by the young monk Xu Zhu, who beat the master to death with a random punch.

But the monk Xuzhu was very stubborn. He thought he was a disciple of Shaolin and refused to take Wuyazi as his master. Wuyazi also thought Xuzhu was ugly and did not fit in with the style of his sect, so he looked down upon him. In the end, Wuyazi taught Xuzhu the "Northern Divine Art", which he kept his promise.

Hearing that Chu Yuan was leaving, Wuyazi asked in surprise: "Young friend, aren't you going to stay here for a while?"

Chu Yuan shook his head: "No, the reason I stayed before was that I wanted to compete with the senior, but who knew that the senior was unwilling to do so. There is no point in staying any longer."

Wuyazi looked a little embarrassed. He explained, "My dear friend, it's not that I don't want to. I just recovered from my injuries not long ago, and my skills haven't recovered to their peak yet. I'm not sure I can beat you in a fight. So why don't we make an appointment to fight next time we meet?"

He is old, nearly a hundred years old.

I really don't want to rashly fight with Chu Yuan in a competition. It would be fine if I win.

If he lost, lost to a teenager who was less than 20 years old, he felt that his reputation in the world would be ruined.

Chu Yuan knew Wuyazi's concerns, and he smiled and said:

"Then we can fight next time we meet. As for staying in Leigushan, there is no need. The news that you have recovered from your injuries and mobility and resurrected from the dead has probably spread throughout the world along with the departed heroes."

"It won't be long before this Leigushan Mountain will be bustling with activity. Apart from other things, your senior sisters and apprentices will probably want to see you very much."

According to Wu Xingyun and Li Qiushui's personalities, they would definitely come to their doorstep when they learned that Wuyazi, who had faked his death, had come back to life.

After hearing Chu Yuan's words, Wuyazi's expression became uncertain for a moment, and he suddenly felt a headache.

There is no love between him and his former wife, Li Qiushui, now, and only hatred remains.

On the contrary, it was my senior sister Wu Xingyun who was still thinking about me.

In any case, he could no longer stay in Leigushan, although he was not afraid of these two people.

However, since I have just regained my ability to move, I may not be a match for these two people.

What's more, on this Leigushan Mountain, there are his disciple Su Xinghe and the disciples of the "Deaf and Mute Sect" he founded.

It would be bad if Wu Xingyun and Li Qiushui took out their anger on the deaf and mute disciples or Su Xinghe because of me.

Wuyazi stood up, bowed and said, "My friend, what you said makes sense. I won't see you off. I also want to take my disciples and leave this Leigu Mountain to find some peace and quiet somewhere else for a while."

The feud between him and Li Qiu Shui cannot be settled now. He has to wait until he fully recovers his strength.

Chu Yuan said: "Goodbye."

……

Chu Yuan went down Leigushan Mountain.

After thinking for a while, he went to Luoyang.

He decided to go back to the Beggars' Sect headquarters in Luoyang City first. Now he also served as the Green Lotus Messenger of the Beggars' Sect, as well as the law enforcement elder. It seemed not a good idea if he didn't go back to the Beggars' Sect for a year or two.

This place is not far from Luoyang, so he might as well go back and see how the Beggars' Sect is doing now.

Leigushan Mountain is not far from Luoyang City, so Chu Yuan used his Qinggong skills to head towards Luoyang City.

"Brother Chu!"

Who knew that Chu Yuan had just come down from Leigushan Mountain and had not walked far when he saw a very familiar purple figure in the middle of the road.

"It's you. Didn't you leave with the Beggars' Sect disciples?"

Seeing this purple figure, Chu Yuan felt a headache for a moment.

When his master Ma Dayuan and Wu Changfeng left Leigushan, he asked Ma Dayuan and Wu Changfeng to take A Zi with him. Who knew A Zi would be waiting at the foot of Leigushan? He saw this purple figure, about fifteen or sixteen years old, with a pair of big eyes as black as pearls, a graceful figure, a white face, and a clear and sweet voice. It was A Zi.

"I slipped away. I didn't want to go back to the Beggars' Sect with them, so I waited for you at the foot of the mountain. I didn't expect to see you there."

Ah Zi said to Chu Yuan happily.

"I'm going back to the Beggars' Sect headquarters. Do you want to come with me?"

Chu Yuan asked A Zi.

"of course."

Ah Zi nodded.

"Okay, let's go."

Chu Yuan said to A Zi.

He thought about bringing A Zi back to the Beggars' Sect headquarters as soon as possible and handing the trouble over to A Zhu and Qiao Feng, and then he would be free.

With A Zi as a burden, Chu Yuan's original plan to use his Qinggong skills to head straight to the Beggars' Sect headquarters was shattered. He could only follow A Zi and head to Luoyang City at a normal pace, and the two of them traveled very slowly.

……

Two days later.

As the sun set, the shadows of the two people were stretched very long on the ground.

They stopped in a small town to rest.

I had just walked into an inn and was about to check in when I heard a familiar, angry female voice coming from upstairs.

"What are you doing? I am Mr. Murong's maid..."

"What are you doing? Master Murong has gone crazy and has been missing for many days. I think you might as well just follow me!"

"Tan Qing, your master Duan Yanqing was severely injured by Young Master Chu, and he still wants to cause trouble for us here?"

"What's wrong with causing trouble for you? What can you two weak women with only a little kung fu do to me?"

Another familiar female voice was heard from upstairs.

"Brother Chu, it seems to be A-Bi and Miss Wang!"

Ah Zi also poked her head out and said to Chu Yuan beside her.

She is Ah Zhu's younger sister. She knows her elder sister Ah Bi, her good sister, and even Wang Yuyan knows her, but they are not very familiar with each other.

"It looks like they are in trouble."

Chu Yuan said as he listened to the noise upstairs.

"Brother Chu, should we rescue them?"

A Zi asked Chu Yuan.

"Go up and have a look."

Chu Yuan thought about it and said.

Holding the room number plate issued by the shopkeeper, A Zi and Chu Yuan went upstairs together.

Sure enough, the two women, A-Bi and Wang Yuyan, were stopped by a tall, thin, ugly man with a horse face.

"What do you want to do?"

A-Bi protected Wang Yuyan and said to the ugly man with a horse face.

"I want you two to follow me and become my Tan Qing's wives!"

The ugly man with a horse face said.

"You're dreaming!"

Wang Yuyan said angrily.

"Brother Chu!"

A-Bi suddenly shouted behind the ugly man with a horse face.

The ugly horse-faced man Tan Qing's face changed when he heard this, then he calmed down and said, "There is no one behind me, don't try to deceive me."

"I'm right here!"

Just then, a young man's voice came from behind.

When Tan Qing heard the voice behind him, his expression changed slightly and he immediately turned around.

But he found that behind him, there was indeed a handsome young man in cloth and a beautiful girl in purple clothes, about sixteen or seventeen years old.

"you are?"

Tan Qing looked at Chu Yuan, and after recognizing Chu Yuan's identity, his face changed.

"You are Tan Qing, a disciple of Duan Yanqing. Where is Duan Yanqing now? Why aren't you with him?"

Chu Yuan looked at Tan Qing and said.

He had heard before that Duan Yanqing seemed to have a disciple named Tan Qing, but he had never seen him before. He didn't expect to see him here.

In the original plot, there was an unlucky guy who was killed by a single word from Qiao Feng in Juxianzhuang. It seemed that it was this Tan Qing.

However, in this world, because of my appearance, there was no battle of Juxianzhuang, so Tan Qing is naturally still alive.

"Young Master Chu, my master is recovering from his injuries..."

Tan Qing explained with a wry smile, then he slowly moved towards A-Bi and Wang Yuyan, apparently wanting to take A-Bi and Wang Yuyan as hostages.

He had heard about what happened on Leigushan Mountain a long time ago. His master Duan Yanqing and the other three villains, even if they joined forces, were no match for Chu Yuan, and he was naturally no match either. He only hoped to escape from Chu Yuan.

"Come and talk to me!"

Seeing that Tan Qing still wanted to hold A-Bi and Wang Yuyan hostage, Chu Yuan directly used the "Heavenly Gang and Earthly Evil Palm" and a suction force was generated from his palm.

Tan Qing was just about to take action, but his body involuntarily moved towards Chu Yuan.

He pressed his feet against the floor, trying to stop his body, but he had no power to resist.

Chu Yuan dispersed his palm power only when Tan Qing's body came three feet in front of Chu Yuan.

"Tell me, why are you here and why are you having sexual thoughts towards Miss A-Bi and Miss Wang?"

Chu Yuan asked Tan Qing in front of him.

Tan Qing was about to answer when Chu Yuan thought of how pretty A-Bi and Wang Yuyan were, and how it would be hard for a man to have evil thoughts if they met two women alone.

What's more, Tan Qing is Duan Yanqing's disciple.

Maybe he had too much contact with Yun Zhonghe on a daily basis, and it was natural for him to have some lustful thoughts about it.

He felt that his question was a bit redundant and said, "Forget it, you don't have to say it. I'm not interested in knowing."

Tan Qing's face changed and he wanted to say something, but Chu Yuan slapped Tan Qing on the top of his head and killed him with one palm.

Looking at Tan Qing's fallen body, Chu Yuan looked at Wang Yuyan and A Bi who were not far away and said, "Miss A Bi, Miss Wang, why are you here?"

Wang Yuyan and A Bi couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when they saw Chu Yuan kill Tan Qing and save them.

The two walked up to Chu Yuan, and Wang Yuyan thanked him, "Thank you, young man Chu, for saving my life."

Ah Bi said, "Before, on Leigu Mountain, our young master went crazy and ran away. We later chased him, but Miss Wang and I were not very skilled in martial arts, so we failed to catch up. We also got separated from Brother Bao San and Brother Feng Si. Later, we met Tan Qing. Fortunately, Young Master Chu showed up in time and rescued us."

Chu Yuan asked: "What about my third brother? Didn't he always like to stay by Miss Wang's side?"

His half-true and half-false words last time dispelled Duan Yu's delusion about Wang Yuyan, which made Duan Yu, who used to follow Wang Yuyan like a follower, disappear.

Wang Yuyan said with a somewhat miserable expression: "Master Duan is also missing. He may have gone back to Dali!"

She was still not used to the fact that Duan Yu was no longer by her side, the man who treated her well regardless of the consequences.

She also didn't know why Duan Yu, who used to be by her side all the time, suddenly disappeared, causing her and A-Bi to be in danger. If they hadn't met Chu Yuan, they would have been in great danger this time.

"Ok?"

At this moment, a gleam of light flashed in Chu Yuan's eyes, and his gaze suddenly looked towards a room in front of the corridor on the second floor.
