Longevity Chronicles-Chapter 314 - 230: The Three Immortals of Ultimate Happiness in Great Wilderness Mountain, Princess Zhao Seeks the Secret Technique of the Marital Bed

Outside the Jin Mansion living room, Tao Qian could see and hear everything crystal clear. He originally thought that as soon as the young man uttered those offensive words, conflict would immediately arise—and perhaps even a cultivator's battle.

With his keen perceptions, he could tell that the brave young man with his passionate speech had a strong presence, and was indeed a cultivator at the Foundation Establishment Realm.

To the side of Princess Zhao, there were two people sitting on her left and right.

One had deep-set eyes and a hawk-like nose, exuding an aura of sheer nefariousness—a strange monk in black obviously from Rashamon Country.

The other was an ordinary-looking middle-aged cultivator dressed in a black robe, sporting a beard, and always carrying a fake smile on his face.

Besides these two, who were clearly at the Perfect Transcend Mortality Realm, the Rashamon Girl had many guards seated in the side hall.

Should trouble really start, a mere "Foundation Establishment Cultivator" would truly be insignificant.

Yet strangely, the Rashamon Girl did not get angry, nor did the clearly Taishang Demon Sect's middle-aged cultivator immediately act.

Instead, he suddenly lost his smile, his expression turned stern, and killing intent emanated from him as he angrily said,

"Yu Yanshi, you have always been forming factions and scheming privately, creating this so-called 'National Salvation Congress' with these people here, inciting citizens and scholars to protest and demonstrate within Demon City. Considering your status as a master, His Highness has tolerated your reckless talks."

"But do not overstep your bounds, criticizing the Princess and slandering His Highness… Ha, if you do not give an explanation today, despite being punished by His Highness, I will have to teach you a lesson myself."

"At most when your master comes knocking, I'll simply owe him my life."

As his words fell, an intense surge of Demonic Qi suddenly erupted from the Demon Cultivator's body.

In an instant, the entire Jin Mansion living room seemed to be pulled into a bizarre Exotic Realm. Countless strange and terrifying demons surged forward, as if they would devour the young man called "Yu Yanshi" in the next moment.

Seeing this, everyone showed a look of shock.

However, most of these people did not aid the Demon Cultivator, nor were they opting for prudence. Instead, they hesitated whether to speak up on behalf of Yu Yanshi and plead for him.

Outside the living room window, noticing the confusion in Tao Qian's eyes, Sister Yunrong suddenly explained through transmitted sound,

"This young man has great renown in Demon City and has an extraordinary background."

"His disregard for caution is actually reliant upon his master's prestige—the 'Weng Zhong Immortal Ruan Xizhai'."

"Nine hundred miles outside of Demon City, at the Three Immortals Ridge of Great Wilderness Mountain, lies a renowned Daoist Field, home to three Ultimate Happiness Realm cultivators."

"They are the Weng Zhong Immortal, the Copper Tripod Immortal, and the Tianjiang Immortal. All three claim themselves as Loose Cultivators, practicing together and staying out of worldly affairs."

"However, in recent years, the Weng Zhong Immortal has whimsically come into the world and taken a disciple named Yu Yanshi."

"The young man has exceptional talent, quickly building his Dao Foundation, but for some reason, he vowed to 'save the nation before becoming an Immortal,' not otherwise."

"Recently, whether it be the Ninth Prince or some of the warlords and tycoons he has attacked, all have harbored killing intent towards him, only restrained by the existence of the 'Three Immortals of the Great Wilderness,' daring not to truly strike him down."

Hearing this communicated message, Tao Qian couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

Who could have expected this?

A passionate, princess-scolding young man with such a significant background?

"The Three Immortals of Great Wilderness, all in Ultimate Happiness Realm?"

"With those Daoist Transformation Realm powerhouses not engaging in worldly matters, these three would naturally be considered top combat forces. To think that even my nominal master is nothing more than Ultimate Happiness himself."

"With such a strong foundation and support, no wonder the young man is so impudent."

"Speaking of which, I also have some powerful legs to cling to—my nominal master and Aunt Yunhua are thick and strong ones."

"If it weren't for the fact that the former has too many and too terrifying enemies, I, Master Tao, would also be strutting around arrogantly, alas."

Tao Qian's thoughts wandered off, complaining about Duobao Daoist, completely forgetting his own pile of grievances.

Knowing Yu Yanshi's background, Tao Qian thought he would continue to stand his ground against the Demon Sect Cultivator.

But in the next moment, a surprising scene unfolded:

The previously furious Yu Yanshi suddenly composed himself, revealing a radiant smile.

Then, with a highly respectful demeanor, he clasped his hands and said,

"This senior must not be angry. I was indeed rash earlier. On the way here, passing by a slum, I witnessed the suffering of the world and couldn't restrain my anger, thereby offending the Princess."

"Having heard that today, His Highness has generously opened the granaries to provide relief to the disaster victims, I, too, have some savings. How about I also donate them, joining His Highness' philanthropic efforts as compensation?"

These words, though somewhat sarcastic to the Demon Cultivator's ears, indeed seemed to make amends on the surface, giving him a way to step down. The Demon Cultivator took the hint and calmed his Divine Skills.

Even though he was of the Taishang Demon Sect and served the Ninth Prince,

The "Yu Yanshi" behind him was backed by no less than three Ultimate Happiness Realm cultivators.

Even if Yu Yanshi refused to submit, he, in fact, dared not strike to kill. At most, he might make a feint or two, making a big scene.

"Fortunately, this young man has some sense of propriety,"

The Demon Cultivator thought this to himself.

Yet, he was completely unaware that many of the clever ones in the room considered him foolish.

For instance, Tao Qian, who had been observing from the sidelines.

"This Yu Yanshi's contrasting attitudes, judging by his poise and manners, is clearly not one of those arrogant and reckless second-generation immortals."

"That challenging question of his might have been critical in the end."

"Perhaps he wanted to gauge the current state of the Ninth Prince?"

"If even the Rashamon Girl, a princess in her own right, cannot see her husband, it either means the Ninth Prince is in a severely bad state, or he is concocting some plot, right?"

"Everyone knows the former is unlikely. Although Princess Taiping is skillful, her mere 'Taiyin Xuan Nu Locking Dragon Needle' wouldn't be likely to inflict a fatal blow on someone who has inherited the true teachings of the Taishang Demon Sect and holds the identity of the Ninth Prince."

"So, Yu Yanshi and the others must be suspecting that the Ninth Prince is plotting. But what means will they use to uncover the truth?"

"The leader of the Changchun Society, He Sen, even with his status, only knows that the Ninth Prince is refining a treasure in hopes of completely controlling Demon City, but the actual details of the treasure—its origin, specific power—remain unknown."

"With such powerful support, Yu Yanshi should have made preparations early on, right?"

Not just Tao Qian was pondering these things.

The eyes of many Daoist and Buddhist Practitioners in the room shone with insight.

It was at this moment that a crisp voice suddenly resonated beside Tao Qian.

"Good!"

"Brother Yan Shi is really kind and generous, and Xiuzhu cannot fall behind. I also have ten thousand yuan in savings, which I will also donate to the disaster victims."

Indeed, the speaker was Jin Xiuju.

As soon as she spoke, she naturally exposed the presence of Tao Qian and Yunrong as well.

The three of them naturally stepped into the hall, and immediately there came successive echoes of agreement from others.

Since the Jin Family's daughter had made a donation, how could the children of all the big officials, rich merchants, and celebrities in the room not want to make their voices heard?

One by one, they also spoke up. If you donate ten thousand yuan, I'll donate twenty thousand.

In the end, even Princess Zhao, the Rashamon Girl, joined in and donated a whole fifty thousand yuan.

Before long, the people within this salon actually pooled together a million yuan in silver banknotes.

Yu Yanshi, who had been beaming with a smile, now had the corners of his mouth almost stretching to his ears, looking every bit like a cunning fox that had stolen a chicken.

He stood up and bowed repeatedly, saying,

"Good! Truly good. With the generosity of everyone here, we can benefit all seven or eight slums on the outskirts of Demon City."

"This trip was so worth it. I, Yu Yanshi, thank Princess Zhao and everyone in advance, and also thank Sister Xiuzhu."

Obviously, Jin Xiuju, the daughter of the Jin Family, greatly admired people like Yu Yanshi.

Receiving his thanks, she immediately beamed with happiness.

Then, remembering something, she quickly tugged at Tao Qian and Yunrong to the center of the room, very proudly saying to everyone,

"Sister Yunrong, everybody has met her already, this is our newly recruited tribute, Senior Jin Lin." freēnovelkiss.com

"Senior Jin Lin is a True Dragon from the Overseas Immortal Island, the kind that can call forth wind and rain, extremely powerful."

Compared to many of the young people in the room, Jin Xiuju was obviously very well-protected by Jin Tianyang.

Innocent and wilful in her manner.

Of course, you could also say she was inexperienced in the ways of the world.

After all, anyone with even a slight understanding of the Cultivation World wouldn't reveal the origins of their Guest Elder's footing as soon as they arrived.

The crowd knew this as well, and seeing that Tao Qian himself didn't mind, no one said anything.

The two words 'True Dragon' naturally had a significant deterrent effect.

Standing there in the living room, the salon's guests all simultaneously cast their gazes over.

Tao Qian also looked back with a smile, having only caught a glimpse from the window earlier and not the full view.

Now was a good chance to see within Demon City who among the mundane forces were there, and also to see how deeply intertwined they were with the Daoist and Buddhist, demon and devil, and various heterodox sects.

He was deeply into his role, and with the help of the Secret Demon Transformation Technique, he was completely flawless.

"No mistake, authentic Dragon Clan aura, should already be at the Perfect Transcend Mortality Realm, and vaguely one can see the semblance of wind, rain, thunder, and lightning. This demon should be of the Bo Dragon lineage."

"The combat strength is extraordinary; the Jin Family really hit the jackpot, consecutively obtaining two Great Demons of no ordinary origin."

While the representatives of the many local forces in Demon City were muttering to themselves in the salon,

Tao Qian had also clearly seen them and learned their basic information through Jin Xiuju's introductions.

Just a salon event, and moreover, one organized by Princess Zhao, a foreign Rashamon Girl, could not possibly have invited every major power in Demon City.

Apart from those who were there to make up the numbers, such as actors and scholars and assorted imperial relatives, the remainder was a bunch of young offsprings from Demon City's families, either officials or magnates.

Most of them were already Cultivators, accompanied by powerful fellow practitioners, evidently already connected with the Cultivation Sects.

Or to put it another way,

It was the Cultivation World that was encroaching into the mundane world.

These families, being able to receive the Longevity Technique, were unable to refuse, willingly becoming promoters or representatives of the mundane world.

However, only a few people really caught Tao Qian's attention.

First was the Xu Family, which owned electric and water companies, whose Young Master, Xu Damo, had received dharma from the Buddhist Temple Qingjing Temple, accompanied by an elderly monk called "Master Yuan Jue," in the Transcend Mortality Realm.

Second was the Song Family, which owned a large number of shops, two department stores, and even cinemas, whose Young Master, Song Dashi, had received teachings from the major Daoist sect Lingxu Sect, and his companion, the Mad Daoist known as "Cao Xianzhi," was also in the Transcend Mortality Realm.

Third was the fiery red-clothed young girl Luo Jingjing, from the Luo Family that opened many banks, who had been taught by the heterodox major sect Xuan Miao Temple, accompanied by a middle-aged beautiful woman named "Lady Hong Mei," also in the Transcend Mortality Realm.

Fourth was a youth named Zhuge Qingkong, who always seemed quiet and had been born unable to walk. The Zhuge Family was an officials' lineage, deeply connected with officials big and small within Demon City, and although he was physically challenged, he had received teachings from one of the Twelve Major Daoist Sects, the Nanhua Sect, but the Nanhua Sect did not send anyone to protect him.

...

"It seems that on the surface, most of the forces from the Cultivation World have only sent Cultivators in the Transcend Mortality Realm."

"Of course, Cavernous Mystery Realm Cultivators are considered senior experts, powerful cultivators; how could they be easily dispatched."

Just as Tao Qian had this thought,

Suddenly, Princess Zhao, the Rashamon Girl, who had thus far been playing the "Tool Man," allowing the Ninth Prince's men to perform, spoke up.

And with her first sentence, she uttered words so audacious that they made everyone's faces freeze.

Most crucially, this alluring and seductive Minority Princess directed her words straight at him, Master Tao.

She looked at Tao Qian earnestly, her eyes filled with hopeful light, and asked,

"Master Jin Lin, are you a dragon? A true dragon?"

"That's great. Back in Rashamon Country, I had heard about the Dragon Clan of your Longevity Heavenly Dynasty. They can have children with all things in heaven and earth."

"This means that your Dragon Clan must be very knowledgeable about this aspect. I wonder if you have any secret treasure that can be shared with me so my husband and I can also use it?"

As these few sentences reached the ears of the crowd, including the Demon Cultivator sent by the Ninth Prince,

Every one of them was as if struck by lightning, stunned on the spot.

And Master Tao himself was made exceedingly uncomfortable by the Rashamon Girl's direct gaze.
