Exposed After I became an Immortal - Chapter 27

Chapter 27: Xiao Zhi’s Advancement! Old Zhu’s Questions! Rewards! The Longevity Six Paths of Reincarnation Sutra!

…

Zhu Xuanji directly chose the Vermilion Bird.

There was no hesitation at all, not even for a second. It would be disrespectful to the Vermilion Bird to do so!

[Ding! Evolution path has been chosen. Please continue to enlighten this magpie. If evolution fails, the host will face certain penalties.]

[If the evolution succeeds, the host will receive continuous rewards!]

Hearing the system prompt, a trace of indiscernible meaning flashed in Zhu Xuanji’s eyes.

Fail? I don’t believe it! Anyway, there was no time limit. Exploiting the system bug meant no penalty! Zhu Xuanji thought happily.

At this moment, unconsciously, Da Huang had already led him and Zhu Biao to a place where they could see Zhu Yuanzhang’s figure!

“Master! Look! Over there. Old Zhu has an old man with him!”

Zhu Biao looked carefully. He was looking at his father’s figure after half a year. At that very instant, looking at his father, with his head filled with white hair, all his emotional defenses crumbled down! No matter how much mental preparation he had done before!

Seeing his father as he was, figure stooped and hair showing his age, he couldn’t hold back! The sour feeling in his eyes welled up.

“Father …” Zhu Biao softly called, taking a step forward.

Zhu Xuanji held him back, whispering in his ear: “Think carefully. Hold back for a moment, and the sea and sky will open wide. Take one more step, and the white-haired person will send off the black-haired one.”

Hearing this, Zhu Biao stopped his step.

He said softly: “Master Xuanji … Do you really want me to be heartless and unfeeling …”

Zhu Xuanji said indifferently: “I’m just giving you a choice.”

Hearing this, Zhu Biao remained silent.

…

On the other side, Zhu Yuanzhang had brought his old brother Tang He to Empress Ma’s tomb. The Jinyiwei had already spread around the area. Although, not many of them were visible.

Yet, the hidden arrangements were abundant. After all, the emperor’s safety was paramount.

At this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang, holding Tang He’s hand, offered incense to Empress Ma. Then, walking to the side, looking at the lush green mountains, he quietly said: “Tang He! We are old. Every time I come here. I want to talk more. A few years ago, the eldest was still here, but now, the eldest is gone too. Fortunately, you have returned to the capital. You can keep me company.

“I have a premonition! I may not hold on for many years. I have established Yunwen as the crown prince! I just want to buy him a few more years. To smooth out more troubles for him. So that the Ming Dynasty can pass down to as many generations as possible. Not like the Yuan Dynasty, which barely lasted a hundred years before it fell apart. Tang He, if I die. What will this Ming Dynasty be like!”

At this point, Zhu Yuanzhang’s cloudy eyes turned to Tang He. As if genuinely seeking answers from Tang He.

Hearing this, Tang He immediately said: “Brother Chongba! This, you are really putting me in a difficult position! I don’t have eyes to see the past and future! You should find Liu Bowen if you want to know about the future. He’s known for his divine calculations! Inheriting the skills of Zhuge Liang! If you ask him, he can definitely give you an accurate prediction.”

Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang raised an eyebrow.

“Liu Bowen? Hmm …”

…

Zhu Yuanzhang and Tang He did not stay long on the mountain. After paying respects at Empress Ma’s tomb, they soon went down the mountain together.

Watching his father Zhu Yuanzhang go down the mountain, Zhu Biao felt very uneasy.

Zhu Xuanji didn’t say much, he just turned around, and said: “Let’s go! It’s time for us to head back!”

…

In the blink of an eye, another month passed. Early one morning, Zhu Xuanji was awakened by the system prompt.

Of course, not from sleep, but from the state of meditative cultivation.

This past month, he had been diligently practicing the Magic Mirror Technique! However, this Magic Mirror Technique was indeed not easy to master. It was even harder than practicing the sword.

Soon, he heard the system prompt in his ear.

[Ding! Congratulations to the host, your silverfish Xiao Zhi has successfully advanced to the lower rank of the Body Transformation realm!]

[You have successfully received a reward— Longevity Six Paths of Reincarnation Sutra, Supreme Emperor Fist, a Pill Refining Room, and a Wooden Dummy!]

[Longevity Six Paths of Reincarnation Sutra: This is a very peculiar technique. Each realm starts at its peak, and with deeper cultivation, the practitioner regresses step by step, eventually becoming as weak as an ordinary person. Only by breaking through reincarnation and being reborn can one be reborn stronger and achieve an immortal body!]

[Supreme Emperor Fist: This is an extremely domineering imperial fist technique, divided into seven styles: Overturning Mountains and Seas, Sequential Attack and Defense, Repeated Triumphs, Corpses Everywhere, Form and Spirit Destruction, Unyielding as Mountain Commands, Ultimate Primordial Destruction. Mastering it to the extreme can shatter mountains and seas!]

[Pill Refining Room: A room for refining pills that greatly increases the success rate of pill refining.]

[Wooden Dummy: A tool for practice that can enhance cultivation.]
