Asking for Immortality in Another World

I've witnessed chaos and the fall of dynasties in the mortal realm. I've seen a wise ruler emerge, reshaping the world's landscapes. In my prime, I stood among the crowd, observing with my hands in my pockets. Later, I learned about immortals, acquired immortal techniques, and embarked on the path of immortality. Along this journey, I faced challenges and stumbled. While geniuses led the era and set trends, I remained a mere bystander in the mortal world, facing its ruthless nature. As years passed and beauty faded,and as time flew by, the world transformed. Eventually, step by step, I achieved immortality on the path of seeking. Some say immortality is but a dream, while others urge cultivators to push forward. Some claim that ten thousand years is too long, advocating for seizing the day. Yes, indeed. ——Excerpt from "Memoirs of the Immortal" by Gu Changsheng, the immortal king of Enlightened Way!

Chapter 23: Martial Arts School Master

Chapter 23: The Master of the Martial Arts School

  In a room filled with the strong smell of herbs,

  Gu Changsheng finally saw the person who was in charge of the martial arts school.

  Senior Brother Lin Jun!

  Life is unpredictable.

  During the troubled times, the master of the martial arts school, who was already a second-rate martial artist, chose to join the camp of the governor of Yuzhou in an attempt to break through to the realm of first-rate martial artists.

  Now the result is obvious.

  The master's vision is really not good, leading to his demise

  Not only did he lose his life, but he also dragged many of his fellow martial artists down with him.

  Without the second-rate master, the people of Chuyun Martial Arts School have either died, left, or scattered.

  Including Qi Xiao in the past, the senior brother he had never met while traveling around the world, and Xiao Huan, a martial arts genius who later joined the school...

  In the end, Chuyun Martial Arts School, once ranked as one of the three major martial arts schools in Yuzhou City, is now truly in decline, with only a few members remaining.

  And there is only one person who can take up the responsibility, Lin Jun.

  This makes people sigh at the impermanence of life.

  Old friends are dying one after another!

  Gu Changsheng couldn't quite understand the choice made by the master of the school.

  With his gray hair, how many years can he live? I'm afraid that the blood and qi in his body have already declined. Is it really worth it just for something that can give people a chance to break through to the first-class martial artist?

  Gu Changsheng has never been a pure martial artist.

  He practiced martial arts just to protect himself.

  And everyone has their own reasons.

  For the master of the school at that time, this might be worth it!

  Senior Brother Lin Jun looked at Gu Changsheng in front of him, and many complex emotions flashed in his eyes, including shock, amazement, envy, and nostalgia, but in the end, there was only sighing...

  His face was full of wrinkles, and his silver hair had already turned completely white. He looked at least 20 to 30 years older than Gu Changsheng.

  The boy who was led by him to the door of martial arts.

  Now after so many years, he has become a third-rate martial artist.

  He is very clear about Gu Changsheng's talent in martial arts.

  He knew how difficult it would be to become a third-rate warrior. He didn't know that Gu Changsheng's blood and qi would never decline!

  In fact, it wasn't that difficult. He just ate and drank, and survived for a while, and naturally broke through to the third-rate warrior realm.

  The two talked for a long time just like they did back then.

  Finally, Senior Brother Lin Jun hesitated for a long time.

  He looked at Gu Changsheng with a thoughtful look.

  He was very entangled in his heart, but after a long time, he still said, "Junior Brother Gu, I already know your intention. I can give you the follow-up of Cloud Palm, but I have a request!"

  "Please speak, Senior Brother." Gu Changsheng motioned Lin Jun to continue.

  But he also frowned secretly without being noticed.

  He wasn't concerned about how much the advanced Cloud Palm technique would sell for; but he was worried he wouldn't be able to buy it at all.

  In recent years, he has dug up a lot of old medicinal materials in the mountains.

  These are hard currency for warriors.

  There is no worry about not being able to sell them.

  After conversion, there should be more than a thousand taels.

  Gu Changsheng estimated that it should be no problem to exchange for the follow-up of Cloud Palm.

  "Take over from me and become the next master of Chuyun Martial Arts School..."

  Senior Brother Lin Jun said dimly.

  Gu Changsheng: "?!!"

  He looked at Senior Brother Lin Jun in astonishment.

  He really didn't expect that this would be the request.

  master of Chuyun Martial Arts School?

  Me? !

  "I'm about to die."

  Senior Brother Lin Jun looked at his astonished expression and smiled.

  He talked about his own impending death without any reservation.

  "I took over the position of head of the martial arts school from Senior Brother back then. I am not talented enough. I can't be as famous as Master in Yuzhou, nor can I protect the foundation of the martial arts school as well as Senior Brother."   

  Senior Brother Lin Jun sighed deeply, his expression was very ashamed.

  It was when the Chuyun Martial Arts School was passed to him

  that it declined so quickly.

  But he managed to keep Chuyun Martial Arts School going during troubled times.

  In fact, his performance was also excellent.

  "After I die, others will not be able to protect the current foundation of the martial arts school."

  Senior Brother Lin Jun looked at him with a very sincere expression.

  In addition to him, a third-rate warrior, the current Chuyun Martial Arts School also has two inferior warriors and an entry-level warrior with great Qi and blood.

  Even if the Chuyun Martial Arts School has completely declined,

  it cannot be protected by such strength.

  In this way, Gu Changsheng came quite timely.

  He was originally worried that the Chuyun Martial Arts School would fall apart after his death.

  But now, it seems that someone has delivered the goods to his door.

  "Goodbye." Gu Changsheng arched his hands, turned around and prepared to leave without saying a word.

  He came to exchange the subsequent skills of Chuyun Palm, not to apply for the position of the master of someone else's martial arts school. Moreover, this matter would be very troublesome at first glance.

  And there might be danger.

  At worst, he can just change a technique and start over.

  What Gu Changsheng hates most is all kinds of trouble.

  "Brother Gu, don't you want to continue on the path of martial arts? As long as you agree, Lin Jun will offer you the first-rate martial arts - Cloud Palm."

  "First-rate martial arts?"

  Gu Changsheng's footsteps, which were about to walk out of the door, suddenly stopped.

  Grasp!

  "Otherwise, why do you think the master had the confidence to break through the first-rate martial arts back then?"

  Your senior brother will always be your senior brother!

  Lin Jun had a sigh on his face, and it was fate.

  He only knew it when he became the master of Chuyun Martial Arts Hall.

  Cloud Palm is not a second-rate martial arts, but a first-rate martial arts that can make people practice from sensing qi and blood to perfecting the bones and meridians.

  From this, it can be seen that Clouf Palm may have a very long history.

  "Ah this..."

  Gu Changsheng opened his mouth, careless!

  If Cloud Palm was just a second-rate martial arts, he would never look back.

  There used to be three major martial arts halls in Yuzhou City, which means three second-rate martial arts.

  But as for first-rate martial arts, he had never heard of anyone in Yuzhou City who had it.

  In the past, the strongest person in Yuzhou City was only a second-rate martial artist. First-rate martial arts may only be available to the wealthy families in the city.

  After all, if they have first-rate martial artists, it is impossible that they do not have first-rate martial arts.

  If he had to collect them by himself, he did not know how long it would take to get a first-rate martial arts book, and the process would not necessarily be 100% safe.

  But now, there was a book in front of him.

  Gu Changsheng slowly turned his head and gradually revealed his smiling face.

  "Brother, you are too polite! Chuyun Martial Arts School is my home, and I have no choice but to contribute to the martial arts school!"

  He used a smile to cover up the embarrassment on his face.

  After all, people cannot give up first-rate martial arts for the sake of dignity.

  "You... are still the same as before..."

  Brother Lin Jun pointed at him and shook his head. He did not say the last few words.

  But he was relieved in his heart. Chuyun Martial Arts School should be saved.

  As long as it can still exist, there will always be a chance to rise again.

  However, he will not see that day.
