A Necromancer Who Just Wants to Plant Trees-Chapter 1858 - 515 Cloud Walking and the Four Symbols Dao_3

Master Bai Yun couldn't help but give a wry smile as he said,

"The first two reasons are also very real and objective."

"On the other hand, the third reason is more subjective."

"In terms of the domain, my personal understanding is—"

"It's not that one becomes the master of the domain after passing the trial; rather, a master of the domain will inevitably pass all trials."

"Your Excellency already possesses the qualifications to become the sect leader of the Longevity Domain, so why bother with the superfluous?"

After hearing this, Matthew nodded in satisfaction.

This lineage of the Pan Yun Sect, seemingly secluded in the mountains, had a firm grasp of worldly wisdom, leaving no flaws to be picked upon.

"I owe you a small favor."

"If anything arises, you can find me in the great tombs of the Rolling Stone Kingdom."

Having said this,

Matthew carefully stored away the "Flowing Cloud Will."

He then chatted with Bai Yun for a while.

Matthew then came across Li Weiqi, who had just learned Cloud Walking.

The latter was naturally quite surprised at Matthew's arrival.

They exchanged pleasantries.

With a hint from Master Bai Yun, Matthew skipped over mentioning the Flowing Cloud Will and pretended that he and Bai Yun had been acquainted for a long time, and that his visit was simply a social call.

A few minutes later,

Bai Yun tactfully bid his farewell and left.

Matthew then started discussing the Coiled Dragon with Li Weiqi.

"Don't even start, I went all the way up north, chased for a long time, only to find out that the so-called clues were from three hundred years ago!"

Li Weiqi recollected with a bitter smile:

"Three hundred years!"

"If it were in the wilderness, perhaps there could be some scales or claws left by the Coiled Dragon, but that was a city bustling with tens of thousands of people!"

"In short, these two years have been fruitless for me."

"After coming back from the Northland, I could feel my bodily functions beginning to decline, so I ran over here to Master Bai Yun to scrounge some health-preserving spells, only to unexpectedly learn Cloud Walking!"

"Too bad I am a disciple of the Divine Dragon Sect, and it's too late to switch to the Pan Yun Sect now..."

Li Weiqi was a monk of the Divine Dragon Sect.

He had been at the peak of Tier 5 for many years.

To ascend to an advanced legend, one must find the traces left by the legendary Coiled Dragon and gain immense Strength by imitating the divine demeanor of the Coiled Dragon.

Unfortunately, such creatures as the Coiled Dragon were already extinct in Aindor.

This made Li Weiqi's path to advancement quite bumpy.

Hearing this, Matthew quickly recounted the clues about the Coiled Dragon in the Far West that he had gathered.

Who would have thought, after listening to this, Li Weiqi did not show any excitement; instead, he revealed a very strange expression.

Matthew asked,

"What's wrong?"

Li Weiqi let out a bitter laugh:

"Thank you for the information."

"Only, I am now feeling a bit lost, a bit weary."

"Over those past years, in the pursuit of becoming a legend and chasing the traces of the Coiled Dragon, I missed out on too much and ultimately came away empty-handed."

"Of course, I don't regret my choices, a person has to take responsibility for their decisions, I am just... hesitant about what lies ahead in life."

"As you said, the information you gathered about the Coiled Dragon is also very limited, and its truthfulness is greatly reduced."

"Had it been before, I would've gone without second thoughts..."

"But now, I suddenly feel that living secluded in the mountains like the disciples of the Pan Yun Sect, not pursuing power excessively, doesn't seem so bad..."

Matthew looked thoughtfully at Li Weiqi.

When did it start?

The normally youthful-looking monk now had quite a few wrinkles at the corners of his eyes.

His skin was no longer rosy.

Like bark that was beginning to wrinkle.

"Has someone drained your life force?"

Matthew noticed something was amiss.

Li Weiqi shook his head:

"It wasn't drained by anyone, rather I offered it willingly."

"Previously in the Northland, when I was tracking the Coiled Dragon, I encountered some trouble, and had to endure some losses to save some people."

"Heh, that's nothing for me, you don't need to worry."

Matthew's expression remained grave.

Li Weiqi spoke lightly, but since it involved the sacrifice of longevity, it must have been a formidable opponent he faced.

However, since Li Weiqi didn't wish to discuss it,

Matthew didn't press further.

He realized that Li Weiqi's loss of fervor in chasing the trace of the Coiled Dragon was likely connected to his rapidly declining bodily functions and the approaching end of his life span —

Li Weiqi was of the same generation as Rheager.

After having a substantial amount of longevity drained,

his current physical condition was indeed dire, looking as if he could maintain for at most another year and a half.

No wonder he sought help from the Pan Yun monks!

Matthew pondered for a moment.

Then, without a word, he began chanting a spell.

Before long,

to the astonishment of Li Weiqi,

a rusty teapot fell out from the luster of the legendary spell.

Matthew grasped the teapot, opened the lid, and handed it to Li Weiqi:

"This should help you get through the tough times for now."

"The legendary spell: Pot of Miracles"!

It could be opened once a year.

This time,

Matthew chose the first effect of the three, which is to instantly add ten years of life!

Li Weiqi smelled the liquid inside the teapot, and amazement filled his eyes.

A deep excitement and desire flashed through them.

However, after hesitating for two seconds,

he actually pushed the teapot back, then said with a pained face:

"No, I can't do that."

"I haven't earned the reward, I can't take something so precious from you."

"And about my condition..."

Matthew interrupted him with a smile:

"To me, it's just a trifle."

"However, speaking of not taking an unearned reward, I do indeed need your help with something."
