I Have A Dual World Seal

Chapter 31 Joining Baiyun Temple

Lu Zheng handed over the sword to be sharpened to the young lady in the shop and examined the sword with engraved cloud patterns on it.

“Good sword!”

“Although the material and sharpness are similar, this sword is much worse than the other one. You can’t use it on hard surfaces.” Du Lin reminded him.

“I got it,” Lu Zheng replied.

The last time he went to Baiyun Temple to deliver the corpse ghost’s remains to Master Mingzhang, Lu Zheng had noticed a sword hanging on the wall of his room.

Judging from the hilt, he must have been practicing his swordsmanship from time to time, which was why Lu Zheng thought of giving him a sword.

With a divine sword and his aptitude for sensing Qi after half a month, could he get something more out of him?

Lu Zheng put away the cloud pattern sword and happily hailed a cab home.

“What?”

As soon as he entered, Lu Zheng lowered his head and was about to change into his slippers. However, his eyes narrowed and he frowned.

Someone had just entered the house!

When he was out.

This was because Lu Zheng’s slippers at the door had shifted slightly!

He remembered very clearly that he had kicked his slippers upside down when he left the house. They were placed diagonally, but now they were straight.

If it had been a long time, Lu Zheng would think that he had remembered it wrong. But it was just a few hours ago, and more importantly, he had even taken a look at it before he left. He was just too lazy to place them properly, so Lu Zheng was sure that he had remembered it correctly.

A thief? In broad daylight?

So bold?

Lu Zheng’s face was expressionless as he checked his valuables, but he didn’t find anything missing. If it wasn’t for the fact that his slippers had been moved, Lu Zheng would have thought that he was hallucinating.

“That’s impossible! Could it be that the thief realized that there was nothing valuable and left?”

He opened the door and looked around. There was no sound in the quiet corridor.

Lu Zheng furrowed his brows. He could only let it go.

He didn’t lose anything, and he couldn’t call the police just because he thought that the slippers had moved. The police would probably teach him a good lesson about wasting public resources.

“Looks like I’ll have to change the lock… Would a combination lock be safer?” he thought.

Lu Zheng changed the location of the small box containing his identity card and bank card. At the same time, he carefully checked the house to see if anyone had secretly installed a pinhole camera.

‘Fortunately, there isn’t any…’

In the afternoon, Lu Zheng traveled to the ancient times. First, he asked Uncle Li to go to the carriage store to reserve a carriage for the next morning. Then, he practiced the breathing technique and Eighteen Mountain-bearing Forms to consolidate the internal and blood Qi in his body.

He would also travel back to the modern world from time to time to check his phone for messages, such as his mother’s and Tong Muxuan’s messages.

A day passed just like that.

The next day, Baiyun Temple.

“Young Master Lu, what brings you here?” Master Mingzhang said with a smile.

Lu Zheng donated a kan as usual. Then, he carried a box and went to Master Mingzhang’s room.

“Young master, this is …”

“I have to thank you for the breathing technique.” Lu Zheng said. “You’ve helped me solve my worries. Although I’m not talented, I’m a reasonable man.”

“Young Master Lu, you’re too kind. I actually gained the two scriptures. You don’t have to be so humble.”

Lu Zheng smiled. “I’m here today because I’ve recently acquired a good sword and I’m here to present it to you as a token of my gratitude. Also, I’ve cultivated the Quiet Breathing Technique and have developed a sense of Qi. I would like to ask you if you have any more techniques that you can teach me?”

Master Mingzhang was still stroking his beard with a smile in the beginning. However, when Lu Zheng finished, he was surprised. “You’ve already had a sense of Qi?”

“Yes.”

MasterMingzhang grabbed Lu Zheng’s wrist and injected his Qi into it.

Lu Zheng guided his Qi and circulated it in his body.

“You’ve really cultivated Qi!” Master Mingzhang was shocked. “Also, I haven’t seen you for a few days. Why is your blood Qi so dense? You’ve also cultivated martial arts?”

“Uh, right.” Lu Zheng’s mouth twitched, but he didn’t dare to elaborate.

“You have a master?”

“No, I don’t. I just happened to obtain the ” Eighteen Mountain-bearing Forms” by accident and blindly practiced it.”

“Blindly practice it…” Master Mingzhang was speechless.

He couldn’t help but shake his head and continued, “last time, I only noticed that your body was quite strong. I didn’t expect you to be able to cultivate martial arts.”

Master Mingzhang mumbled to himself, “you didn’t have a master to guide you, so you didn’t learn anything before and only trained your body without cultivating blood Qi. Later on, you learned the breathing art and succeeded in cultivating it only ?”

“Cough cough…”

“When you cultivate blood Qi, you will have an extremely sensitive sense for a while. Is that why you could sense Qi?” “Uh, um…”

“No matter what, to be able to sense Qi in half a month, and this Qi is not weak either… Young Master Lu, you are talented.”

“Ahem, you’re too kind …”

Master Mingzhang let go of Lu Zheng and returned to his seat. He stared at Lu Zheng without saying a word.

“Master?”

“Young Master Lu, I already know that you have the heart to cultivate. It’s just that you seem to be a wealthy and idle person in the mortal world, so I have no intention of taking you in.”

Wealthy and idle? To put it bluntly, he didn’t look like someone who could bear hardships, so he didn’t take a fancy to him at all.

“I just didn’t expect you to also cultivate martial arts. I was wrong.”

“You flatter me.”

“To be able to kill a corpse ghost with a mortal body, I can see how extraordinary you

are.”

“You’re too kind!”

“Of course I have the techniques that have been taught to outsiders, but they’re not powerful,”

“Uh…”

“Young master, are you happy to learn these minor techniques?”.

Lu Zheng was speechless. He thought that he didn’t want to accept him as a disciple.

“Young master, are you willing to join Baiyun Temple?” Master Mingzhang asked seriously.

Eh? He agreed this time?

Lu Zheng’s eyes lit up.”That’s my wish. Do you have any conditions?”.

“All immediate disciples have to wear Taoist robes and stay in the temple. They have to attend classes every morning and night and be recorded in the books.” Master Mingzhang seemed to be smiling.

“Hehe.” Lu Zheng couldn’t help but laugh dryly. He could totally understand why he didn’t accept him last time.

“Another option is to stay at your own home. It’s similar to a nominal disciple. Although they can’t obtain the legacy of the temple, they can still get most of the cultivation methods.”

Master Mingzhang explained, “however, you also need to provide money and work when the temple needs you. You can’t refuse.”

“I have to go even if I have to commit murder and arson?” Lu Zheng asked.

“Nonsense. Baiyun Temple is a great Taoist temple. It’s well-known in the entire great Jing dynasty and is a righteous sect. How could they let you commit murder and

arson?”

“I was just asking.” Lu Zheng laughed dryly.

“Are there any other questions?”

“How powerful are the cultivation techniques? Can it grant me immortality?”

“That depends on you. There really are old masters in the temple who have witnessed the founding of the great Jing dynasty.”

“Can it subdue demons and monsters?”

“There is a White Crane in the temple, which is the body of the great demon of the southern kingdom.”

“Am I allowed to practice other techniques? Uh, of course it’s a righteous technique.”

“If you have the ability and opportunity, we will support you.”

“Then yes!”
