Chapter 513: Chapter 125 Black Tortoise Technique_1

Mengpo said, "Alright, perhaps I am asking too much of you. Do you know why I wanted to see you?"

Qin Shou shook his head.

Mengpo asked, "Do you want to hear a story?"

Qin Shou continued to shake his head.

Mengpo was taken aback and asked with a cry-laugh, "Why won’t you listen?"

Qin Shou gave a silly smile, feigned ignorance, and didn’t speak. He was no fool; he knew he wasn’t a good person, but he was even more aware of what kind of rabbit he was!

Throughout history, those who listened to stories always ended up running errands for others. He wasn’t a good person; he could renege on his debts. But if the story was interesting, he feared his rabbit legs would not be able to resist.

He already had enough trouble, and in the Nether River, there lurked a huge problem who knows how old; he certainly did not want to invite more trouble.

Seeing this, Mengpo understood Qin Shou’s reluctance and sighed, "Oh well, alas..."

Having said this, Mengpo turned and walked towards the house, her eyes filled with a sense of desolation.

Upon seeing this, Qin Shou’s heart softened, and before he could stop himself, he asked, "Grandma, what exactly do you want?"

Mengpo sighed, "I want you to help me find someone!"

Qin Shou was astonished, "Who?"

Mengpo thought for a moment, decided not to tell a story, and handed a jade pendant to Qin Shou, saying, "His name is Nan Wuzui. If you find him, show him this token, and he’ll know who you are. He’ll understand my intentions..."

Qin Shou looked at the jade pendant in his hand, a very simple piece without even a pattern, so plain it seemed as if it was crudely snatched from a pile of jade stones. He scratched his head and asked, "Why me? Aren’t Black and White Impermanence better at finding people?"

Mengpo shook her head, "Although they often go out, they always return immediately and cannot search the Earthly Immortal Realm in-depth. Besides, the place he’s in, Black and White Impermanence might not have been..."

Qin Shou thought it made sense. After all, Mengpo was a civil servant in the Netherworld, so the person she was looking for couldn’t just be any mortal who might croak at any moment. Since the person wasn’t a mortal, the chances of Black and White Impermanence coming into contact with him were not high. After all, while the death rate of immortals wasn’t low, they didn’t just die easily; once dead, their body and Dao would perish, completely obliterated.

That’s because those capable of killing an immortal wouldn’t give them a chance to reincarnate and seek revenge.

With this in mind, Qin Shou accepted the token and asked, "Grandma, is there anything else?"

Mengpo shook her head, "No more."

Qin Shou said, "Then I’ll be going? I’ve been out for so long; it’s time to go back and check on things."

Qin Shou was genuinely worried that the two little girls would start fighting, and that would be troublesome to handle.

Mengpo, seeing that Qin Shou was really leaving, showed a trace of surprise and asked, "Rabbit, you’re willing to help me without wanting any reward?"

Qin Shou was taken aback and slapped his forehead, "Right! Had you not mentioned it, I would have forgotten."

Mengpo was rendered speechless, and then a hint of disappointment flashed in her eyes, which quickly vanished, showing she wasn’t truly disappointed.

Qin Shou walked over to the big pot where Mengpo was stewing soup and patted the lid, "Old lady, I have no use for other things. If you’re not busy, can I take this pot of soup with me?"

Mengpo was once again taken aback, not expecting the Rabbit to ask for such a reward, which really surprised her.

Mengpo’s Soup should technically be the least valuable thing here, as she hands out who knows how many bowls of it every day. So, the thing Rabbit asked for was practically nothing...

With that thought, Mengpo laughed, "Do you really want this soup? Don’t you want anything else?"

Qin Shou patted his belly, "I haven’t thought about other things, but I’ve always loved good food, and this soup suits my taste. Taking it isn’t a loss for me."

Mengpo shook her head and laughed, "You... help yourself to the soup. If you run out, just come back for more... This pot of soup isn’t too much, but it can fill up a whole room."

Upon hearing this, Qin Shou happily took out a large cauldron and poured all the soup from the pot into it. At that moment, Qin Shou noticed that the bronze cauldron was quite spacious; it looked full after just one basin full, but no matter how much he poured into it, it never overflowed. In other words, the cauldron could hold more than the pot!

However, Qin Shou wasn’t surprised as the bronze dragon was at least at the level of a Heavenly Immortal, so its dwelling place was bound to be not too shabby.

After filling it with the thick soup, Qin Shou stood up and said his farewells.

Just as Qin Shou was about to climb out of the cave, Mengpo suddenly waved her hand, and a piece of silk flew toward Qin Shou.

Qin Shou turned around to catch it and asked curiously, "Old lady, what’s this?"

Mengpo said, "The ’Black Tortoise Mantra’, the Void Returning volume. I can see that the cultivation techniques you possess are quite mysterious. The first technique you cultivated should be from the ’Nine Strategies of the Empyrean Heaven’, and the second technique is from the second volume of the ’Chonghua Sutra’, right?"

Qin Shou was surprised, "Old lady, you can tell all that?"

Mengpo laughed, "Old as I am, I’ve been at the Naihe Bridge for many years, seen all sorts of people, and heard of all sorts of cultivation techniques. But yours are truly unusual. You’ve actually combined different realms from two sets of techniques into one furnace... Your vision is good, having chosen the best techniques within their respective realms. But have you ever considered? Each cultivation technique is part of a series. They need to be practiced in succession to reach the perfect realm. Isn’t it a bit too haphazard to practice them in such a piecemeal fashion?"

Qin Shou had thought about this issue before, but after cultivating for so long, he hadn’t noticed any side effects, so he naturally assumed that one could cultivate techniques randomly.

What’s more, this idea was first suggested by Dog Xiaotian, and Qin Shou figured that Yang Jian was quite knowledgeable and experienced, so his dog wouldn’t speak nonsense, right?

So Qin Shou believed it.

Now that Mengpo suddenly pointed this out, Qin Shou was indeed a bit dumbfounded. Had he really taken the wrong path?

Are not all cultivation techniques meant to lay the foundation, and any of them could be practised?

Seeing the confusion on Qin Shou’s face, Mengpo nodded and said, "Naturally, cultivation techniques cannot be practiced at random. If it were anyone else, they would have already encountered disaster and vanished into smoke. However, you have a very balanced and peaceful technique as your foundation. While this technique may not stand out in specific fields like the other techniques, it’s miraculously superior in the way of moderation. It can actually act as the link between the past and the future, perfectly merging two incompatible techniques into one, eventually making them part of itself... That is truly impressive. I would say that in terms of balance, integration, and all-inclusiveness, it’s the strongest technique I’ve ever seen.

Rabbit, I don’t have much to reward you with. Since you like to do things your own way and have the ability to do so, I’ll give you this volume of ’Black Tortoise Mantra’. This method belongs to the Black Tortoise Emperor, and while not the epitome of strength, the third volume’s path of Void Returning is the ultimate in this world. I hope it proves useful to you..."
