Chapter 53: Transferring Power

  "Young man, are you hungry?" Chen Laosan asked Jianyuxi.

  Jian Yu Mei had just realized it was already noon and she was hungry.

  "Come on, come on, let's eat together!" Chen Laoxian said as he walked up to the Eight Immortals' table.

  "Come on, young man, what would you like to eat?" Chen Laoxian said to Jian Yuemei.

  "Whatever, old immortal, I'll eat what you eat!" Jian Yu Mei said.

  "You're a young person, you should eat something good! Otherwise, let's have some dumplings!" Old Chen said.

  Before the words had fallen, Jian Yu saw that there was already a large plate of dumplings on the table, and the dumplings were still steaming hot. Next to the dumplings were two small dishes of vinegar.

  "That's great!", said Jian Yu Mei.

  "Hurry up and eat while it's hot! These are dumplings from the best dumpling house in Xi'an. Last time I had a craving and went to eat, they told me to come anytime, but I couldn't go all the time, so I only get to eat a little when guests come. Come on, young people, let's eat together!"

  "Alright, old immortal, I'd rather obey than show respect!" Jian Yu Mei said, then picked up her chopsticks and started eating.

  "Old immortal, you're welcome too!" Jian Yu Mei said.

  "Good, let's eat together!" The old immortal looked at Xianyu Ci with a kind smile.

  Jian Yu Mei ate quickly, Lao Shen Xian ate slowly, and soon a large plate of dumplings was almost finished.

  "Want more?" The old immortal asked Jian Yu Mei.

  "That's enough, I've had almost enough, is that sufficient for you, Old Immortal?" Jian Yu Mei said.

  "I've had enough, actually I was just accompanying you to eat, normally I don't even need to eat!" said Chen Laosan.

  "Is it okay if I don't eat?" Jian Yu Mei felt very surprised.

  "Yes, I can go without eating, I can practice breath control! Once in that state, one can go for a long time without food and still be full of energy!" Old Man Chen laughed.

  Jian Yu Mei had previously known about the principles of Pi Gu and Qi Gong, but she had never tried it herself. Today, after hearing the old immortal talk about it, she still felt amazed.

  "In fact, the method of Bigu is very simple. You just need to set an intention for yourself and tell yourself how long you want to practice Bigu, and your body will automatically adjust to that state! Then you can start practicing, and every day, apart from your normal cultivation, you can swallow the cosmic energy at any time, and you'll find that when you're not eating, you feel even better than when you are!" said the old immortal.

  "Alright then, I have time too, let me try!" said Jian Yu Mei.

  After they finished their meal, they chatted for a while.

  Jian Yu Mei curiously asked him: "Old immortal, are you really over two hundred years old?"

  "That's true, I didn't think I'd live to be this old either, it's all about fate, but now it's time to go!" said Chen Laoxian.

  "Where is the old immortal going?" Jian Yu Mei asked curiously.

  "Go where you should go, anyway we'll meet again in five hundred years!" The old immortal smiled.

  Jian Yu Mei didn't quite understand, but he tried his best to make himself understand.

  "Old immortal, you've been living in the mountains for years, don't you ever get bored and go to the village to have some fun?" Xian Yu Mei asked.

  At this, the old immortal's eyes lit up and he chuckled: "Yes, I often go out to play when I have nothing to do. When I want to talk to people, I go out to play. I often sit alone for a long time, so long that I forget how long it has been. Sometimes I boil a pot of mountain medicine and sit in meditation, but by the time I wake up, winter has turned into summer! Hahaha!" The old immortal burst out laughing.

  Jian Yu Mei also smiled, Jian Yu Mei was thinking, would she have such days in the future too.

  If one can live to be as old as a fairy, then they should spend their days like a fairy.

  "I think I definitely won't have a long life like yours, you're a miracle!" Jian Yu Mei said.

  "Your lifespan won't be short, your current life will be much better than your previous one. In your past life, you killed too many people and had a strong aura of dominance, but after going through many cycles of reincarnation, you have dissipated those evil energies. Plus, in this life, you will do many good deeds, so your life will be very fulfilling and happy. Of course, you will also face many challenges and hardships, but in the end, you will overcome them all and achieve success and fulfillment!"

  The old immortal's careless words suddenly flashed like a bolt of lightning, illuminating Sword Protector Mei's heart.

  In my previous life, was I really that person, the overlord of the desert?

  Jian Yu Mei knew that since the old immortal said so on their first meeting, it seemed to be true indeed.

  The old immortal looked at Sword Envoy Mei, "Your ambition in this life is not bad, you can gain great blessings, but when you travel the world one day, you will encounter many dangers, and I won't be able to help you much! Come on, let me help you!" said Chen Old Immortal.

  "Thanks, old immortal!" Jian Yu Mei said.

  At this time, Chen Laoxian had already walked over, he gently sat on the back of Jian Yu Mei, crossed his legs and sat down, then Jian Yu Mei also followed suit, with five hearts facing heaven.

  Slowly, Jian Yu Mei felt a warm current in her back heart, and she felt that all the bones in her body were very comfortable.

  This is a profound and dense power, such power can make one's martial arts greatly improve.

  Jian Yu Mei felt a continuous and unending inner power, he entered a very comfortable state.

  This continued for a long time. When that hot flow disappeared, Jian Yu Mei felt the inner strength in his body was thick and rich. He seemed to have understood something.

  At that time, when he absorbed the five hundred years of Fox Fairy's power, his whole body felt very light. But after all, it was a supreme yin energy, and as a big man, he was somewhat affected. However, Chen Lao Shen Xian's true energy was a supreme yang energy, which entered the body to adjust this supreme yin energy. Jian Yu Mei felt infinite roundness inside.

  This feeling is different from when I first got the Fox Spirit's Lingzhu. At that time, it was like a sudden leap, and my whole body underwent a huge change. Now, I feel more grounded! The feeling of this pure Yang energy perfectly balances Yin and Yang, making my physical strength and true Qi balance between Yin and Yang.

  The swordsmanship is so good that it feels very comfortable.

  At this time, Jian Yu Mei felt the old immortal's palm leave his own back. When Jian Yu Mei turned around to look, he saw that the old immortal had already placed both hands on his own knees, but his head was already tilted down.

  "Old immortal, old immortal!" Jian Yu Mei asked.

  But the old immortal didn't respond, Jian Yu Mei felt a wave of tension at this moment, he hastily went to check the old immortal's breath.

  Chen Laoxian's nose had no breath at all.

  "Old immortal, old immortal?" Jian Yu Mei shouted there, he knew that the old immortal had already left.

  At this moment, Jian Yu Mei's eyes had tears in them. He knew that the old immortal's ascension and his own input of internal energy were closely related.

  At this time, Jian Yu Mei saw a letter beside the old immortal.

  Jian Yu Mei picked up the letter, on which was written "Jian Yu Mei".

  Mei opened the letter and saw that it read: "Mei, since your master asked me to help you, you can also be considered my disciple. I will pass on all of my over 200 years of skills to you, from now on your abilities will greatly increase. The things that happened to you on the road when you came here, both I and your master know about them. Originally letting you go through there was in hopes that you would go and slay demons and evil spirits, bringing peace to the people! Now you have succeeded, of course you also obtained some mysterious abilities."

  It's just that the fox demon's spiritual pearl power is biased towards yin, so I must channel all my power into you, which is the utmost yang energy. The two will harmonize with each other, and your power will reach a state of perfect harmony! From now on, whether it's martial arts or cultivation, you'll both reach new heights! In the future, when you help the world and save people, it will be of great assistance.

  Besides, I have already flown away. If we meet again someday, it will be 500 years later. However, if you are in a crisis, just mention my name and I will help you in another way!

  The experience of being a teacher will be told by your master! In short, the life is upright and dignified, coming and going with a clear breeze! Hope you can do it too!

  As for my funeral, you can cremate my body and bury the ashes. Don't worry too much, come empty-handed and leave empty-handed, everything goes with fate.

  "Master Chen's Parting Words"

  Jian Yu Mei looked at the letter and tears suddenly welled up in her eyes.
