Chapter 1157: Golden Flame Eyes
Beichen Family’s vehicle was a Cadillac and it was like those in commercials. However, they were really comfortable and stable. I was a little nervous but Lin Wan Er and Dong Cheng Yue were totally relaxed. The old man followed us and Wang Xin did too. I sat with the two girls with Q-Sword accompanying us.
…
The atmosphere was a little awkward and Q-Sword smiled, “Thank you Xiao Yao for helping Ji Yuan, if not it would be a problem. I am not close to the Hangzhou police at all.”
I waved, “Small thing, moreover Ji Yuan didn’t break the law, all of this is just his interests.”
I thought about it and said, “Q-Sword, how is your old man’s temper?”
“A little explosive.”
Q-Sword laughed, “But you don’t need to be so nervous. He has been like that since I was born. He is explosive but he is really kind if not with his ability, he would have become a king. Moreover, you are Old Man Lin Cheng’s student, my old man will naturally take care of you.”
“En that’s good.” I was still a little nervous. After all this old man was a peak Blazing Sun Realm expert. In other words, in terms of cultivation, he was close to a god.
But the road to becoming a celestial was an uncertain one, who knew what realm was after that?
Lin Wan Er blinked, she was trying to hold it in before asking, “Q-Sword, I heard your old man is very old, how old is he. Is he your grandfather?”
Q-Sword was stunned and laughed, “Wan Er you think too much. My grandfather died of cancer a few years ago. This old man is so much older, I think he is like an old ancestor. I heard that he was born in the year 628, the second year of Xuanguan’s rule.”
“What?”
I was shocked and nearly stood up, “He was born during Li Shiming’s era? That… That is near to 1400 years old, he… Actually lived for so long?”
Q-Sword nodded, “The old man is really talented and he broke through to Blazing Sun Realm at 27, at 200 he reached the peak. He cultivated until today but maybe because his temper was too bad so he was unable to reach Gathering God Realm. But from what he said, the bodies of all Blazing Sun Realm experts will be reforged and their lifespan would increase too.”
Dong Cheng Yue was shocked, “That is so miraculous…”
She looked at me deeply, “So Li Xiao Yao can live forever too? When Wan Er and I are 70-80 he would be like this?”
Q-Sword smiled, “He won’t live forever. My old man became much older after so many hundred years, but… Their looks change really slowly.”
Dong Cheng Yue’s eyes turned red and she sniffed like she was about to cry, “I… I don’t want him to see me become old, wu… How?”
Lin Wan Er pouted, “Me neither!”
I was speechless and held her hand, “Don’t worry, I will turn old with you. Once I wipe out the artificials, I will destroy my cultivation…”
Q-Sword, “Is there a way to do so?”
“I can probably do so by slacking, drinking and sleeping around?” I smiled and asked. Lin Wan Er and Dong Cheng Yue’s faces turned red and they looked really beautiful.
Q-Sword rubbed his hands and smiled, “Then I want to…”
I said, “What if your old man heard our conversation?”
“He would probably beat both of us up…”
“…”
…
Afternoon,
Beichen Family welcomed us and I saw Q-Sword’s father. He was a middle aged man and he gave off the aura of an expert. Q-Sword looked like his father but he was less calm and more energetic.
Beichen Family was a famous Zhengzhou family and it made me feel glad to have friends everywhere. No matter where I want I would be treated well. The old man came to Beichen Family before and he talked to Q-Sword’s father for a long time. At around 2pm, he slapped his knee and said, “Okay down to business, where is the old man at?
He said, “In the back courtyard.”
“Please bring us over?”
“Okay.”
Lin Wan Er and Dong Cheng Yue followed me. Lin Wan Er even pulled my wrist and she was really worried for me. She was worried that he would beat me up.
Q-Sword’s father looked at me and shook his head, “Li Xiao Yao is so smart and he really is a genius but I don’t think he can pass this…”
My old man Lin Cheng laughed, “Why does he have to pass this? Cultivation is about tasting everything, maybe that is the true way?”
“Old Lin is wise, follow me over.”
“Okay!”
…
We walked towards the back courtyard and this was like an ancient era garden. Beichen Family really was amazing, they were able to get such a huge area in such a busy district. But thinking about it, Old Man Beichen was an expert and he probably came into contact with the government. Such a person definitely had benefits.
I thought about myself and whether or not I would be able to live such a life. Could I earn enough to buy a mansion and spend my days raising fish? Forget it, if that was the case, life would be boring.
“We are here!”
We stopped in front of a villa. White walls and black brick but there were five layers like that of a tower. Q-Sword’s father waved his hands, “Li Xiao Yao, the old man is inside. You go in yourself?”
I was shocked.
Q-Sword walked towards the front and reached out to grab the copper loop, “Old Master, Li Xiao Yao is here.”
A few seconds later, there was an old voice that spread from within, “Let him come in!”
“Yes!”
Q-Sword told me to enter. Old Master Lin Cheng said, “Go and cultivate, I will just drink some tea outside. Don’t worry, this place is safe.”
“En.”
I reached out to push the copper door but I couldn’t open it as it was too heavy. I used Blazing Sun Energy on my left hand and pushed it slightly before it opened. When I entered, the door closed once more and it was actually pitch black. The decoration was simple and I could see a mat at the center. A person was sitting on it. This should be Beichen Old Master Guan, the person who had lived for 1400 years.
“You are Li Xiao Yao?” His voice was still really old.
I didn’t know how to reply and could only say, “Yes, you are Senior Beichen Guan?”
He laughed, “Li Xiao Yao, how old are you?”
“25.”
“Good, good.. 25 and Blazing Sun Realm, moreover you are in mid Blazing Sun Realm, you really are a rare genius.”
“Senior this place is too dark, can I on the light?”
“Is it dark?” He smiled, “Kid, use your heart to see, naturally you can see everything clearly.”
“My heart?” I was shocked.
“Sit down.”
“Yes.”
I said crosslegged and Beichen Guan continued, “Blazing Sun means the shine of the sun, the heat of flames. For the human body to be filled with the essence of the sun’s flames. You are a person with the Blazing Sun energy. Your body originally has the heat and light from the sun so use your heart to sense that. You will naturally see everything even in the dark.”
My body shook, the old man’s words made sense but it wasn’t easy to do.
But I still sat there and closed my eyes. I allowed the Blazing Sun power to wrap around me and I tried to sense the rhythm of the air. Beichen Guan’s voice rang in my head. He really was a wise man and his understanding was far above mine.
Who knew how long passed but when I opened my eyes, things around became clearer. The table ten meters to my left, the vase ten meters to the right all started to appear. I could even see the names that were hanging on the walls ahead. At the same time, I saw Old Master Beichen’s face. His face was really red and although his hair was white, he looked really merciful. How was he as violent as Q-Sword said?
“Li Xiao Yao.”
He closed his eyes and smiled, “What color is my brows?”
“White.” I said.
He laughed and rubbed his mustache, “You really learn fast. You were actually able to open your heart’s eye in such a short time. You really are much more talented than Feng’er.”
He was referring to Q-Sword. Actually, Q-Sword was quite good for his age.
I tried to be humble, “Each person faced different things, if Beichen Feng went through what I did, I believe his cultivation would be better than mine.”
Beichen Guan continued, “The heart eye allows you to see everything but don’t show it to people. Do you understand?”
“Why?”
“Look at the mirror and you will know.”
I was stunned and took out my phone to look at myself. I noticed that my eyes were showing streaks of flames that looked really devilish. I retracted my energy and only then did the red disappears. I terrified myself. How was this a heart eye, it was more like flame golden pupils? How did Wu Cheng’en write about this in his book, did he also see a Blazing Sun Realm expert before.
Such things were uncertain, the world was huge and anything could happen.
“Understood senior!” I said.
…
Beichen Guan continued, “I heard that your Blazing Sun Armor was broken by a mysterious warrior’s blade?”
“Yes, they are mutants called Artificials. They merged with the DNA of lizards and pangolins and they all have strong powers. Normal people aren’t their match.”
Beichen Guan smiled, “The purest Blazing Sun Armor won’t be broken unless you have even stronger Blazing Sun Power.”
