Chapter 19
Xie Bi An originally planned to tell Zhong Kui about Jiang Qu Lian early in the morning, but when he woke up, he found that Zhong Kui was instructing Fan Wu She to practice his sword and saw that his little junior brother’s black clothes had become grey from dust, so he must have been practising for a while.
Xie Bi An watched from one side interestingly.
This Heaven Master Palace has been desolated for too long. For his safety, master never allowed Yin servants to serve him. Bo Zhu also did not come for a year or two. Before that, only two of them, master and disciple, are in the palace. Since young, he yearned to have a companion of similar age. Although this wish is a little late, he is still very happy. He hoped that the three of them and Bo Zhu can always continue like this.
Master and disciple made several moves in a row, and Fan Wu She was once again broken by Zhong Kui’s attack, knocking the sword out of his hand.
Zhong
Kui admonished without mercy, “There is nothing wrong with your moves, and
your foundation is solid, but your speed is too slow, and your killing energy
is too heavy. You only have five points of strength, yet have ten
points of pride. Having high standards with little ability is not beneficial.”
Fan Wu She’s breath is unstable, but his eyes are not indignant, instead, it seems to be calm, because what master said was not wrong. He previously thought that Zhong Kui was called number one in the world because of the Eastern Emperor’s Bell and there was a controversy in the cultivational world. After all, Zhong Kui had not fought with Xu Zhi nan and Li Bu Yu before, so it was not clear whether he would win or lose. Now it seems that even without the Eastern Emperor’s Bell, Zhong Kui is still the top master in the world of immortal cultivation and is worthy of being Xie Bi An’s master.
Xie Bi An contained his laughter and said: “Master, Wu She, go rest for a while, it’s almost mealtime.”
“Alright, let’s go eat.” Zhong Kui swaggered away.
“Wu She, you must have benefited a lot from the guidance of your master.” Xie Bi An brought a towel and gestured for Fan Wu She to wipe the dust on his clothes.
“Not bad.” Fan Wu She said.
“Arrogant.” Xie Bi An reprimanded, “Just now the master also criticized you. Complacency leads to loss, modesty leads to gain. You must change this bad habit of arrogance.”
Fan Wu She said, “I am telling the truth.”
Xie Bi An frowned at him, “You are really young and arrogant, do you want to be punished again? ”
Thinking of the last time he scrubbed the floor for a day, which made Fan Wu She quite annoyed, he looked askance at Xie Bi An, “Can senior brother win over me?”
“What?”
“Senior brother and I will have a match. If you win, I will do whatever you want.”
Xie Bi An was exasperated: “Is this how you behave as a junior brother?”
“I have never been a junior brother before.”
“Fine, let’s have a match some other day.” Xie Bi An thought, I really need to cure this kid’s arrogant temperament.
“Senior brother, what if you lose?” Unintentionally asking this question, Fan Wu She stared at Xie Bi A’s dark eyes, his heartbeat suddenly accelerated. A voice rang in his head – “Big brother, what if you lose?” How would he answer, would he say…
“At your disposal.”
Fan Wu She’s has a stagnation in his chest, followed by a surge of Qi and blood.
Back then, when he returned to Daming with the map of Shanhe Sheji and Xuan Yuan Heavenly Secret talisman, he had the exact same conversation with Song Zi Heng, who had already trampled on the throne and fought to the death.
When he won, how did he “dispose” of Song Zi Heng?
He pinned Song Zi Heng on the throne in the Sanqing Hall of Wuji Palace and did what he had always wanted to do. He wanted his big brother, who had killed his father and brother for the sake of the throne, to have a taste of the price of becoming the Song Emperor at all costs, such that when he sat that every day to think of how he was on this throne like a dog getting F***ed by his own younger brother!
However, Xie Bi An is not Song Zi Heng. When he said these four words, his face does not have the determination of walking to the end of the mountain, only the spirit of a teenager, glowing – he does not think he will lose.
Fan Wu She’s face was stern: “You make such promises easily even when you are sparring with others?”
Xie Bi An didn’t care much: “Why? Your brother has never lost a sparring match with anyone. If I really lose, I will have to concede the bet. Come on, let’s go have breakfast.”
“Aren’t you afraid that people will ask for something inappropriate?”
“What
kind of demands? I’m a big man, it’s not like I have to devote my heart to him.”
After he said, he laughed out loud.
Fan Wu She stared at the back of his head.
“Wu She, you also have to be willing to bet and accept defeat. If you lose, you have to obey your senior brother.” Xie Bi An turned his head and smiled at Fan Wu She, “You, are not yet a match for senior brother, I will teach you a good lesson.”
Fan Wu She walked a few steps faster and walked side by side with Xie Bi An: “If you lose, aren’t you afraid that I’ll ask for something inappropriate?”
“Oh?” Xie Bi An thought that his junior brother was very interesting sometimes, “What kind of demands would you have? Let’s hear it.”
Fan Wu She pursed his lips, “I haven’t thought about it.”
“Then think about it, you might be able to use it one day.”

During their meal, Xie Bi An told Zhong Kui about what happened last night at the Red Palace.
Zhong Kui snorted coldly, “Do you know what he wants?”
“Magical Weapon?”
“Yes, in the early years, I got a magical weapon, a doppelganger handed down by the Southern Miao cultivator of witchcraft, which can be a host body for spiritual energy or a soul, and after being hosted, it will transform into the shape the host wants.”
“He wants to use it as a spirit house?”
People from the underworld have no physical body in the mortal realm. Even if they force themselves to take on the body of a living person, they will not be able to sustain for long, and they will lose their cultivation level. If they want to stay in the mortal realm fora long time, they need a body that can be hosted. This body is called the spirit house.
With the cultivation level of Jiang Qu Lian, he can quench the spirit house, but spirit houses made of grass and wood, will not last and will rot after a few days, so he probably wants a specific magical weapon for hosting the soul.
Zhong Kui nodded.
“What does he want the spirit house for?” Xie Bi An frowned, “The emperor doesn’t allow him to casually go to the mortal realm.”
“How to stop him? As long as he doesn’t cause any trouble, even the emperor will turn a blind eye to it.” Zhong Kui took a bite of rice, “Anyway, he probably would not dare to mess around, at least not to be known by me. But I still can’t give him a spirit house.”
“Master is right, what about Meng Ke Fei?”
Zhong Kui said, “I will go and meet him This person is cunning, and what he says should not be trusted.”
“That’s right.”
“In
a few days, it will be Li Bu Yu’s birthday. Because of Meng Ke Fei’s incident,
there will not be a birthday banquet this time, but all the major sects will still
send people to offer birthday congratulations, so we will have a reason to go to Yunding.
Bi An, you go and prepare a birthday gift.”
“Yes.”

Mount Shu is known as the number one immortal mountain in the world because Wuliang Sect is stationed there.
But even without Wuliang Sect, Mount Shu has countless mountains competing with their beauties and layers of valleys covered by the clouds. The first great sect of immortals in the world, Wuliang Sect, is located on the summit of the first peak of Mount Shu – Diancang Peak, which is named Yunding because of its cloudy and dense aura.
Wuliang Sect has been established for hundreds of years and was a significant immortal sect in the era of Emperor Song. A hundred years ago, during the siege of the Song Clan, Wuliang Sect made a great achievement, and Li Bu Yu, who was a great pride, carried forward Wuliang Sect, so when the Song Clan was destroyed and a hundred things were waiting to be done, Wuliang Sect rose rapidly, and Li Bu Yu founded the Immortal Alliance and became its leader. Today, Wuliang Sect has more than 10,000 disciples, countless wealth, magical weapons, and high-ranking cultivators, sitting firmly on the throne of the world’s top immortal sect.
Li Bu Yu is a decent person, impartial in his duties, highly respected in the cultivational world, and convincing. As a result, Li Bu Yu’s annual birthday has become a grand gathering in the cultivational world, and everyone is invited as a symbol of status.
The most lively town at the foot of Mount Shu is called Lanxi Town, where cultivators are rare to be seen. But here, they are all over the streets, not rare at all.
Zhong Kui with his two disciples is walking in Lanxi town. They stop at every 3 steps and halt at every 5 steps. They want to try whichever wine they see.
Xie
Bi An usually has to control Zhong Kui not to drink too much, but he also loves
shopping in the market. Other than wine, there are so many new and interesting
things. He’s unable to look at everything.
So Fan Wu She watched this master and disciple duo couldn’t walk out of this small street for 2 hours.
“Wu She, Wu She.” Xie Bi An excitedly waved at Fan Wu She, “Look at this gadget, I’ve never seen it before, I’ll buy one for Bo Zhu, do you like it, I’ll buy one for you too?”
Fan Wu She suddenly remembered that last time, when Song Zi Heng went to travel, he would always bring back a large pile of gifts and share them with his younger siblings, a habit that had not changed even after his reincarnation. He swallowed back his words of refusal and said, “Yes.”
As Xie Bi An was paying the money when he heard Zhong Kui arguing with someone over there.
“Why isn’t it drawn well?” A scholar said angrily, “Everyone says I have the style of Wu Dao Zi, and my painting of Zhong Kui sells best in Lanxi Town!”
” Zhong Kui looks like this? Have you seen him?” Zhong Kui pointed to the picture of the masculine man with a beard and said angrily, “What is this thing, it looks like a dog bear.”
“You, you can insult me, but you can’t insult Heaven Master!”
“It’s only insulting to Heaven Master when you draw it like this!”
Xie Bi An ran over in a hurry, holding back his laughter and dragging Zhong Kui back: “Master, forget it. Sir, my master drank some wine, sorry, please don’t blame, please don’t blame.”
The scholar took a look at Xie Bi An and said incredulously, “This little immortal is your disciple? How can you, a rude and impolite person, have such a gentle and handsome disciple.”
“This is my disciple!” Zhong Kui flipped through the painting stand and picked up another one, “Why did you draw Cui Zi Yu so beautifully? No, have you ever seen him? Have you ever seen Zhong Kui, have you ever seen Cui Jue?!”
“Master, okay, stop it.”
“What’s this again? The ‘Zhong Kui eating ghost’ painting?” Zhong Kui grabbed the painting and tore it up, “My disciple’s cooking is delicious! Who wants to eat ghosts? What’s so delicious about ghosts?”
“Not asking you to eat ghosts, you crazy person, you pay for my painting!”
Fan Wu She took out a piece of silver and threw it to the scholar: “Is this enough?”
The scholar weighed the silver, grunted heavily, and cursed as he put away his painting stand.
Zhong
Kui also cursed and was dragged away by Xie Bi An.
“How outrageous, how outrageous.” Zhong Kui said angrily, “Your master is also a talented and handsome man, why do they always draw me so ugly.”
Xie Bi An held back his laughter, “Well, Master, the people respect you and worship you, they think you have to look fierce so that the ghosts can be suppressed, don’t be angry.”
“Ridiculous, they also worship Cui Jue as well, why do they draw Cui Jue like a god.”
“official Lord Cui does have an immortal style.”
“And I don’t?”
“Master…”
“Heaven Master.” A clear voice sounded behind him.
The three turned around and a handsome and elegant young man smiled and arched his hand, “Heavenly Master, by order of the Sect Master, junior welcomes Heaven Master and Immortal Sovereign Impermanence to Yunding.”
