I Can Reincarnate Infinitely

Chapter 198 - 194: My Good Disciple, Hurry and Come Serve Your Master

When Du Youqian’s Flying Boat arrived at Panyun Mountain Blessed Land, landed before the gates of the Heavenly Emotions and Oceanic Resents Sect, and he announced his name, he was immediately met with an exceptionally grand reception.

A Supreme Elder of the Heavenly Emotions and Oceanic Resents Sect, Elder Mi, came out to personally greet him, accompanied by the Sect Leader.

Firstly, Du Youqian was a representative of the Holy Blood Sect; secondly, his status as a True Inheritor was worthy of such a solemn welcome.

Du Youqian knew Mi Master was Lin Sha’s grand-master, but this was the first time he had ever met the man.

In Du Youqian’s distant memories, there was an East Japan celebrity named Yamashita Tomohisa who bore a striking resemblance to Mi Master.

He had to admit, he couldn’t quite appreciate this sort of effeminate beauty—rosy-lipped and fair-skinned, as delicate as a sixteen-year-old maiden.

After some pleasantries, Mi Master welcomed Du Youqian into the sect and ordered a True Disciple to lead him to a guest room to rest and await the grand ceremony in a few days.

Du Youqian had just settled in and hadn’t yet had a chance to examine his surroundings when a gust of wind blew the door open.

Her black hair casually tied up, an aura as cold as thousand-year-old glacial ice surrounding her, Lin Sha swayed her hips and glided in on a fragrant breeze.

Du Youqian noticed that while her attire was the same as always—a black blouse and skirt that covered her slender, pale neck and wrists—

she was not barefoot. Instead, she wore a pair of high-heeled sandals that resembled a modern style.

Du Youqian’s gaze froze.

These shoes... he had crafted them himself a long time ago. He had given them to her as a gift when he came to visit.

They were only an Upper Grade Spiritual Artifact, not particularly valuable.

Back then, Lin Sha hadn’t liked wearing shoes.

She had worn them a few times during their intimate encounters, but afterward, they were put away and forgotten.

Yet today, she was wearing them again. It was clearly some kind of hint.

"Fellow Daoist Lin, congratulations on..."

Lin Sha cut him off. "You’re calling me ’Fellow Daoist’?"

"..." Du Youqian corrected himself. "Congratulations, Elder Lin..."

Lin Sha interrupted him again. "Don’t you enjoy calling me your ’good girl’?"

Du Youqian was so embarrassed he wished he could dig a hole and crawl into it.

His acting skills were superb, but at this moment, he knew no performance would save him.

He could only force himself to say, "I don’t know what Elder Lin is talking about."

Lin Sha’s face was expressionless, but a flicker of amusement flashed in her eyes and the corner of her mouth twitched. "Trying out new games, are we? Fine. Why don’t you call me ’Master’ and I’ll call you ’Disciple’? Sometimes we can even switch it around. You can be the Master, and I’ll be the Disciple."

Du Youqian wanted to look up at the heavens and spit out a mouthful of blood.

Fortunately, Lin Sha didn’t let his embarrassment linger. She abruptly changed the subject. "Do you know why I was able to successfully reach Core Formation?"

Du Youqian shook his head. "I do not."

Lin Sha took two steps forward, wrapped her arms around his waist, and buried her head in his chest with a soft sigh.

Du Youqian didn’t flinch. His senses filled with Lin Sha’s faint, sweet scent.

It was as if yesterday was happening all over again.

"I used to be hesitant, worried about personal gain and loss," Lin Sha began softly. "I wasn’t afraid of dying, and I certainly wasn’t afraid of failing to reach Core Formation."

"It’s just... as long as I am alive, Qiu Yuanqing lives on in my memory. If, by some miracle, I were to find his reincarnation one day, I would spare no effort to guide him back onto the path of the Dao. My only fear was that if I couldn’t reach Core Formation, my lifespan would be limited. In four or five hundred years, there would be no one left in this world who remembered Qiu Yuanqing."

Du Youqian was silent for a moment before saying, "I don’t know who this Qiu Yuanqing is."

Lin Sha didn’t get angry. She kept her head buried in his chest, greedily inhaling his scent. "It’s okay. Perhaps you have your reasons for not wanting to acknowledge me. Perhaps you’ve fallen for someone else... None of that matters. I could never blame you. If you ever want to acknowledge me, I’ll be waiting with open arms. If you don’t, as long as you are living well, I’ll be content. And remember, you can ask me to do anything for you. Anything at all. Even if you asked me to storm the Holy Blood Sect, I would do it."

Hearing her words, a storm of emotions surged through Du Youqian’s heart.

He wasn’t made of stone; how could he not be moved?

After a long silence, he finally said, "Elder Lin, I don’t understand any of this. Let’s wait until I achieve Core Formation before we speak of other matters, shall we?"

Lin Sha lifted her head. The frost on her face had long since melted, replaced by a stunning smile.

"Alright! But today, to celebrate my Core Formation, you have to satisfy me, don’t you think?"

As she spoke, her hand slipped inside Du Youqian’s robes.

Lin Sha suddenly frowned. "Change back into Qiu Yuanqing’s form."

"I don’t know any Qiu Yuanqing."

The moment Du Youqian finished speaking, she grabbed him by a crucial part. "HISS!"

Lin Sha sneered. "Hurry up and change for me! Don’t tell me you don’t know transformation techniques. I’ve already investigated the Wu Imperial Family! I’ve performed a Soul Search on both Du Yuxi and Du Yuhuan! And don’t worry about them. Their cultivation is so low that a Soul Search won’t turn them into idiots."

Du Youqian knew then that further denials were useless.

He had once taken on the appearance of Qiu Yuanqing before Du Yuxi and Du Yuhuan.

As for why Lin Sha had investigated the Du Family Siblings...

That was easy enough to understand.

Chen Yingzhi had met the Du Family Siblings and knew about their relationship with Qiu Yuanqing.

And it wasn’t surprising that Chen Yingzhi’s master, having failed at Core Formation, had now sought refuge with Lin Sha.

Du Youqian had no choice but to activate the Mystic Clear Concealing God Hidden Breath Skill, changing his appearance, aura, and even the fluctuations of his Divine Sense to match how he was as Qiu Yuanqing.

"My good disciple." Lin Sha’s face was as cold as ice, filled with an ascetic air, and her voice was just as frigid. Yet, within her beautiful eyes, hidden waves of passion swirled with enchanting charm.

She gently patted Du Youqian’s face. "Hurry up and serve your Master!"

’She’s really getting addicted to this role-playing, isn’t she...’

Du Youqian wanted to resist, but an utterly overwhelming power washed over him.

’Right, this woman has reached Core Formation...’

’It’s not that I don’t want to resist, the enemy is just too strong!’

~~~~~~~~~

After Lin Sha left, Du Youqian lay on the rumpled bed, her lingering fragrance—and other scents—still in the air...

In his hand, he toyed with a faintly glowing Life Soul Plate.

The Life Soul Plate was already covered in spiderweb-like cracks, and on it were written two words: Qiu Yuanqing.

’I can’t believe such a loophole exists.’

’It seems my soul doesn’t change with each reincarnation, which is why the Life Soul Plate can still recognize it.’

’If so, I need to be careful in this life.’

’As a True Inheritor of the Holy Blood Sect, my own Life Soul Plate is surely being kept safe somewhere.’

’Before I reincarnate at the end of my lifespan, I have to leave a contingency in place. I must destroy that Life Soul Plate.’

’Otherwise, the consequences will be endless.’

Thinking back to what Lin Sha had said earlier, even if Du Youqian had a heart of stone, he couldn’t remain indifferent.

And he didn’t.

’Forget it. I shouldn’t overthink this. First, Core Formation.’

’Otherwise, I’ll always feel like my life is in someone else’s hands, with no sense of security.’

At this thought, Du Youqian supported his lower back as he stood up, preparing to sit and practice his breathing exercises...

’I have to reach Core Formation soon, or I really won’t be able to take it.’

’She’s too crazy!’

’These lunatics from the Heavenly Emotions and Oceanic Resentments Sect!’

’I’m not a Body Cultivator, how am I supposed to endure this kind of torment?!’

~~~~~~~~~

On the day of the Core Formation Ceremony, Lin Sha was finally not dressed head-to-toe in black.

Instead, she wore the robes of a True Disciple of the Heavenly Emotions and Oceanic Resents Sect, a base of red and yellow woven with intricate, ancient patterns.

Throughout the entire ceremony, Lin Sha was like a block of ten-thousand-year-old glacial ice, not speaking a single word more than what etiquette demanded.

Even Du Youqian, watching her, had the strange illusion: was the passionate, clingy, and tender woman in his bed the other day really the same person?

Lin Sha meticulously followed the rites, advancing the ceremony step by step.

Once she had completed all the prescribed actions, the master of ceremonies chanted, "Disciples of the Sect, approach and pay respects to the Master!"

"Approach!" And so, everyone in the Heavenly Emotions and Oceanic Resents Sect, aside from the two Masters and the Sect Leader, pushed off from the tips of their toes and rushed forward. A vast, dark sea of people surged into the grand hall like a tide.

"Bow!" Several thousand people bowed as one.

Then they chanted in unison, "Congratulations to Master Qingqiu on achieving Longevity and Vision, and walking the Great Dao!"

Master Qingqiu was the Daoist name Lin Sha had chosen, a reference to "Qingqiu Shami."

Lin Sha returned the bow, and the master of ceremonies chanted, "Retreat!"

The disciples of the Heavenly Emotions and Oceanic Resents Sect receded like the tide once more.

"Representatives from the various sects, please come forward and congratulate our Sect’s True Inheritor!"

Du Youqian roused his spirits and walked into the hall with the other cultivators from sects large and small.

He and the representative from the Taihe Sect naturally stood in the front row.

Upon reaching a spot fifty feet from Lin Sha, they bowed deeply: "Congratulations to Master Qingqiu of the Heavenly Emotions and Oceanic Resents Sect on achieving Longevity and Vision, and walking the Great Dao!"

Lin Sha returned the bow, simply going through the motions.

After rising, her gaze swept across the Observation Envoys without a hint of warmth, not even pausing on Du Youqian’s face.

Du Youqian once again began to doubt his own memory. Could the tender affection and passionate entanglement of that day have been nothing but a fleeting dream?

It was not until the night before Du Youqian was set to depart, after the ceremony had concluded, that his door was once again pushed open, and the dream shone into reality...
