What exactly is the relationship between Lv Dongbin and myself?
Is it possible that Lv Baicha hasn’t thought about it? That’s impossible.
He came to find out.
In his view, he is very likely to be Lv Dongbin.
And he has heard that Lv Dongbin’s former life was as the Immortal Donghua.
This delighted Lv Baicha greatly.
Lv Jieshi and Lady Lv exchanged a glance; their son could be the reincarnation of a Quasi-Immortal Emperor?
If that’s the case, as parents, they would be overjoyed.
Getting listed in the imperial examination is nothing compared to this.
"Don’t be too happy just yet." Seeing the joy in the Lv family’s eyes, the Ancestor of Blood Refinement suddenly shook his head.
Could it be that our guess is wrong?
Wu Tian’s words made them pause in surprise,
"What’s going on, please enlighten me, senior," Lv Baicha asked, cupping his hands.
He still couldn’t believe it. Was he not Lv Dongbin?
Then why would he have Lv Dongbin’s memories?
At this moment, he desperately hoped to be the reincarnation of Lv Dongbin,
Lv Baicha, a thin scholar by nature, only skilled in studying. But with Lv Dongbin’s memories, he discovered just how alike they were.
Both were obsessed with fame and recognition,
But Lv Dongbin pursued immortality, forsaking the path of fame.
However, Lv Baicha aspired for fame, knowing it was wrong, yet unable to let go.
He managed to give up Peony, but fame is something he finds extremely difficult to relinquish.
Fame,
had long taken root in his heart.
"You’re not Lv Dongbin." Wu Tian said.
"I’m not?" Lv Baicha furrowed his brow, "Then why do I have his memories?"
Lv Jieshi and others shared the same thought.
"You are Lv Dongbin’s reincarnation, but reincarnation doesn’t mean you’re Lv Dongbin, strictly speaking, it’s akin to a similar flower." Wu Tian smiled, the so-called similar flower depends on personal understanding.
Wu Tian added, "Now I ask you, do you wish to accept the inheritance and walk the path of the Martial Path?"
"I...," Lv Baicha, still persistent, said, "I have another question, is it really impossible for me to achieve fame?"
Having tried twenty-three times, failing each, it was impossible for him not to feel resentment.
Wu Tian observed and said, "You are a flower similar to Lv Dongbin, destiny and all, very close. He was talented yet repeatedly failed, some said Lv Dongbin was destined to be an immortal, and heaven won’t allow him to mingle with mortals and become an official."
"Later, a poem emerged, ’Immortal writings do not fit into the mundane eye, no red robe will nod approval.’ It means mortals cannot comprehend the writings of immortals."
"Does this relate to my essays, failing the imperial exam twenty-something times, for the same reason?" Lv Baicha furrowed his brow tightly.
"Well." Wu Tian thought of what Si’er told him,
he laughed heartily and said, "You failed over twenty times for three reasons."
Lv Baicha and others paused,
Listening carefully,
What exactly are the three reasons?
"First, during the reign of the Heavenly King Country, when your region was the Heavenly King Domain, you took the exam twenty-one times. At that time, corrupt officials thrived, bribes flooded the examiners, so you didn’t get in!"
"This..." Lv Baicha gritted his teeth, hating those corrupt officials: "Was there no honest official during the reign of the Heavenly King Country?"
"At that time, officials were of two kinds: First, corrupt officials. Second, foolish officials." The Ancestor of Blood Refinement shook his head: "So second, your exam papers were lost by some examiners, they didn’t want to disclose it, and neither did the higher-ups want to deal with it, so your papers disappeared, no way you could be listed."
Lv Baicha almost vomited blood.
Lv Jieshi and Lady Lv thought their son’s luck was disastrously bad!
"Then... what about this time? The Xiuyuan Country reigns, most civil officers are clear-minded, I was confident about my results this time, yet why am I still not on the list?" Lv Baicha was puzzled,
the Ancestor of Blood Refinement chuckled, "You know tastes vary, right? To each his own. This time you failed because your writing style was not to the examiners’ liking."
"This..." Lv Baicha felt his blood boil.
Lv Jieshi and Lady Lv didn’t know how to comfort their son.
Misfortune reached a divine level at this point.
As parents, they were stunned by their son’s bad luck.
The Ancestor of Blood Refinement knew it was time to get to the point: "Do you want to follow the path of literature or the Martial Path now?"
"Martial Path." Lv Baicha’s voice carried no hesitation anymore.
The road of literature was so disastrous.
Who knows, if he continues down that path, how much worse his luck could get?
He might even become an eternal laughingstock, which seemed quite possible.
One so unlucky,
Lv Baicha felt dejected,
what else could he do?
The Ancestor of Blood Refinement nodded, "If you want the inheritance of Lv Dongbin, take me as your master."
"Alright,"
Lv Baicha didn’t hesitate at all,
thinking that the Ancestor of Blood Refinement was much older than him.
If he were to take Mr. Wu Tian as a disciple?
His pride couldn’t bear it.
Lv Baicha bowed, the Ancestor of Blood Refinement was satisfied, then pointed with a swift motion, touching Lv Baicha’s forehead.
Suddenly, he imparted the Heavenly Escape Swordsmanship to him.
In the Mythical World, people call Lv Dongbin the Pure Yang Patriarch,
and his swordsmanship is the Heavenly Escape Swordsmanship.
The Ancestor of Blood Refinement withdrew his finger,
Lv Baicha’s expression was dazed but also fervent, the Heavenly Escape Swordsmanship, in his view, was first-rate swordsmanship.
"I shall also bestow upon you the Pure Yang Sword."
The Ancestor of Blood Refinement opened his palm, and instantly, a sword appeared,
this was the Pure Yang Sword, its blade looked ordinary, but once integrated into the body, it became incredibly hot, without flames, it could steam a person alive.
Lv Baicha, having the Great Venerable Pure Yang Body, matched the Pure Yang Sword perfectly; man and sword unified. In an instant, Lv Baicha’s temperament changed,
leaving his parents, Lv Jieshi and Lady Lv, dumbfounded,
The once frail scholar, Lv Baicha, appeared to be a helpless scholar who couldn’t even kill a chicken.
But now, with the Pure Yang Sword in hand,
Lv Baicha exuded the demeanor of an unparalleled swordsman,
"Perhaps, being a swordsman is the path most suited for him," Lady Lv remarked,
The true head of the household had spoken,
Lv Jieshi dared not object, considering he also felt his wife’s words were correct.
"I..." Holding the sword, he felt a sensation of comfort and satisfaction, a feeling he never experienced while studying.
Thud!
Kneeling on the ground, Lv Baicha was sincere, with no fake emotion: "The grace of regeneration is engraved in my heart."
Finally on the right path, Lv Baicha was overjoyed, feeling that this path was truly suited for him.
Thanks to the Ancestor of Blood Refinement, he gained opportunities others didn’t have,
Even if it meant kneeling every three steps, bowing every six, and kowtowing every nine steps.
In Lv Baicha’s current view, even kneeling, bowing, and kowtowing with every step was absolutely worth it.
"In a few days, when the Azure Empire attacks, remember to contribute."
"Yes." Lv Baicha immediately replied.
"Additionally, regarding the matters of Peony’s brothel, you should also handle it. Years ago, Peony’s parents suddenly accumulated such debt overnight, which seems somewhat unusual," the Ancestor of Blood Refinement remarked indifferently.
Peony, Lv Baicha’s body turned stiff!
