I will become the Demon Immortal known to the whole world

Chapter 97: Chapter 97 Let me guess, is it you?

"Changed your mind now?"

Liang Hui slowed his pace, falling half a step behind.

The silver-haired woman seemingly didn’t notice the young man’s anomaly, her steps remained steady.

"It wasn’t until I saw you that I changed my mind."

"Qin Dao, do you believe in love at first sight?"

Liang Hui looked profoundly at the silver-haired woman, the copper bell in his mind trembling slightly, ready to suppress the person before him at any moment.

Love at first sight, are you joking?

Given his current appearance after the changes to his bones, so ordinary it couldn’t be more so, was it even suitable?

In his view, it was more likely that the woman had some hidden intention or even discovered his true identity rather than falling for him at first sight.

The silver-haired woman seemed not to notice Liang Hui’s anomaly and answered on her own:

"I don’t believe it either, but that’s reality."

"I have cultivated a special Cultivation Technique that allows for rapid advancement with no issues of insufficient foundation. The only side effect that can be considered is developing a slight favorable impression for those with exceptional talent."

Liang Hui’s expression was indifferent as he stroked the sword hilt at his waist, not objecting, as if he believed the woman’s words.

He quickened his pace, walking shoulder to shoulder with the woman.

"It seems then, my talent is not too shabby."

The silver-haired woman’s face bore a smile, but she didn’t reply and turned into a streak of silver light, heading for the mountaintop.

Green wings appeared on the young man’s back.

With a flap, he soared into the clouds.

Soon both landed halfway up the mountain range on a broad terrace, which held a four-story pavilion.

The silver-haired woman pointed at the building before them.

"This is where Silver Moon Peak keeps its Taoist Scriptures and Martial Arts Manuals. You may browse through the books at your leisure."

"For the other three peaks, except for Crimson Moon Peak, I will use my connections to get you a pass to read their stored books at will."

Liang Hui nodded, his speculation growing firmer. Merely an uncertain affinity, how could it lead to this?

He was only hesitating whether he needed to use the Flowing Light Bell to eliminate the woman before him and start his escape.

"Is there anything else you want to ask, or want to do?"

The silver-haired woman’s demeanor was composed as she walked leisurely to the edge of the platform.

"Your name?"

"Feng Li."

"I’m leaving."

As her voice faded, her figure turned into a streak of light and disappeared into the sky.

Liang Hui watched as the woman’s silhouette vanished, then turned and entered the pavilion.

As soon as he stepped inside, he saw many bookshelves packed with books.

He strode forward and began to browse.

With time passing, Liang Hui’s face gradually took on a smile.

The majority of the books were travelogues or miscellaneous texts, with a few notes on the Qi Nourishing Realm, Taoist Scriptures, and Taoist techniques.

Of course, there were Martial Arts Classics on Flesh Refinement too.

Whether it was the miscellaneous texts or the Taoist books, Liang Hui perused each with seriousness.

As for the Martial Arts Classics, he no longer looked at them once he confirmed they did not contain any fighting techniques mimicking deer or shrimp movements.

As one book after another was reviewed, Liang Hui came to understand more about the world he was in.

And the notes on the Qi Nourishing Realm brought him considerable gain, filling in some previously overlooked gaps and making corrections.

’Joining Blue Moon Peak and taking such a big risk was the right choice.’

Unlike the Martial Path where he received detailed guidance in his ’dreams’ from the very powerful, his cultivation as a Taoist was entirely self-taught, except for a few Taoists in his ’dreams.’

While his foundation was not problematic, it was still somewhat obscure.

...

While Liang Hui was perusing the basic books on the first floor, Feng Li had already returned to the mansion at the mountain’s peak.

Sitting cross-legged on the cushion, resting her face on one hand, her eyes slightly narrowed as if lost in thought.

"Congratulations, miss, for having encountered someone who moves your heart. The lady never met anyone like that in her entire lifetime," said an old madam, hunchbacked and with a face full of wrinkles, appearing before Feng Li.

"Auntie Fan, I’m not young anymore, I’ve told you many times there’s no need to follow me around all the time," said Feng Li with a light sigh, a hint of helplessness on her beautiful face.

The next moment, a silver radiance suddenly burst forth in the room, enveloping the old lady from all directions.

In her baffled gaze, the silver light grew intense and burned her to ashes.

Feng Li’s gaze was icy as she watched the old woman turn to ash, and she let her arm fall from her cheek.

"Auntie Feng, mother of course wouldn’t feel moved, because when she cultivated the ’Sun and Moon Destiny Transformation Technique’, she also cultivated the ’Ice Lotus Heart Technique’. No matter how fond she felt, it would be smoothed out, transformed into fodder for growth," she said.

"And I have cultivated the ’Ice Lotus Heart Technique’ for over thirty years, yet this time, I fell in love at first sight and wanted to give my all for Qin Dao."

"Oh! Oh! Oh! How interesting, just how talented is he to such an extent."

"I seem to be nearing the Great Dao!"

The silver-haired woman, although chuckling, had a twisted expression and the icy look in her eyes melted away, turning into fervor.

She had her speculations about Qin Dao’s identity.

As for the arrangements made by the Red Lotus Sect, what do they have to do with me!

Even if everything goes smoothly and that person is rescued, what’s the benefit compared to what’s before me?

She was willing to take a gamble!

Failure meant nothing but death, but success promised lifelong benefits.

...

The next day, early morning.

Atop Silver Moon Peak.

Two figures sat cross-legged on cushions, conversing with each other.

Liang Hui kept asking about the doubts he had encountered while reading the books yesterday, and Feng Li explained without holding anything back.

It wasn’t until an hour had passed that their question-and-answer session came to an end.

Liang Hui stood up and walked outside the house.

Standing at the edge of the mountains, under the morning sun, he began to practice his martial arts.

Feng Li leaned against the doorframe, quietly observing the figure immersed in cultivation.

Not until midday did Liang Hui cease his martial path training, with azure wings emerging on his back.

With a leap, he headed toward the Scripture Pavilion of Silver Moon Peak.

Time flew, and half a month passed with Liang Hui immersed in his cultivation every day.

With Feng Li’s guidance, the doubts in his Taoist cultivation were continually resolved.

And Qi Nourishing, Seal Script, Warm Nurturing, even Life Origin, were all explained in detail by her.

She also gave him some rare resources needed for Taoist cultivation.

It’s not quite right to say she gave them to him, as Liang Hui had traded some of the less important spoils from his storage space with the woman, so it was more of an exchange.

Compared to the rapid progress in Taoist cultivation, progress in martial artist cultivation was much slower—only 5.56% after half a month.

That is to say, one percent of progress in three days, it would take nearly a year to break through to Blood Refinement, and that was with the aid of medicinal herbs.

At the edge of the mountains, two figures stood side by side, looking down at the land below.

The silver-haired woman took out a blue, round jade pendant from her bosom and handed it over.

"With this jade pendant, you can freely read any of the books in Martial Peak and Blue Moon Peak," she said.

"Thank you," Liang Hui took the jade pendant, his expression serious.

"No trouble at all, just spending some favors. If not used now, there might never be another chance to put them to use," Feng Li said with a light chuckle, seemingly unconcerned.

Liang Hui also perceived the hidden meaning in Feng Li’s words, his eyes reflecting deep thought.
