The Entry-plundering Demon Hunter

Chapter 279: Chapter 274: Disciple Lin Yi Pays Respects to the Elder Celestial Master

"Old Sir, back when we were in the Old District, I knew you were no ordinary person!"

The moment Lin Yi saw Yi Nanshan, he was both shocked and delighted.

However, as soon as the words left his mouth,

Tang Qinru quickly interjected, "What do you mean, ’Old Sir’? Call him Grandfather..."

"Huh? Grandfather?"

Lin Yi was dumbfounded. He glanced at Tang Qinru, then back at the beaming Yi Nanshan.

"You’re... my grandfather?"

Yi Nanshan smiled and nodded.

His eyes gradually reddened, and tears slowly blurred his vision.

After coming back to his senses, Lin Yi glanced at Tang Qinru.

Then he looked back at Yi Nanshan standing before him.

The shock in his heart was beyond words.

Back when they had first met in the park,

he had taught Lin Yi the Tai Chi Boxing Technique, and even then, Lin Yi had felt the old man was extraordinary.

Definitely not an ordinary person.

But Lin Yi hadn’t probed any deeper.

Right after the martial arts exam ended, Lin Yi had even gone back to the park a few times,

wanting to share his exam results with the old man.

Unfortunately, he never saw him again.

It was as if he had come specifically for Lin Yi’s martial arts exam.

To teach him the Tai Chi Boxing Technique and help him cultivate body and mind.

To face the martial arts exam with a calm heart.

Once the exam was over, his mission was complete.

Lin Yi had even thought they would probably never meet again in this lifetime.

But now, at this moment of seeing the old man again and learning his identity,

he finally understood.

’That’s right. If we weren’t related,’

’who would just teach me the Tai Chi Boxing Technique for no reason at all?’

’And teach me everything he knew, holding nothing back?’

’Even my own father, Lin Dazhi, would treat me differently, so why would a stranger do this?’

"Child, you’ve suffered all these years!"

Yi Nanshan walked up to Lin Yi and said, his eyes red.

Lin Yi shook his head. "Grandson greets Grandfather!"

"Good, good, very good..."

The moment Lin Yi readily acknowledged him, all the worry and fear in Yi Nanshan’s heart

vanished in an instant.

He had fantasized about this moment countless times.

He had imagined Lin Yi might hate him, or that Lin Yi might resent him.

Resent him for not acknowledging their relationship for so many years.

For only showing up after he had passed the martial arts exam through his own efforts.

But in the end...

When the moment of their reunion finally came,

none of that happened.

Lin Yi’s simple sentence meant more to Yi Nanshan than a thousand words.

In that moment, with no barrier between them, the grandfather and grandson’s reunion was perfectly natural.

Tang Qinru, who was sitting nearby, and the Elder Celestial Master who had followed them in,

watched the reunion of grandfather and grandson before them.

They felt an inexplicable sense of being moved. The Elder Celestial Master, in particular, took a handkerchief from his pocket.

"Touching, this is simply too touching!"

"Grandfather and grandson, separated for eighteen years, reunited on Dragon Tiger Mountain?"

"If this were written into a novel, it would definitely be a bestseller..."

As he finished speaking, Yi Nanshan whipped his head around and glared at the Elder Celestial Master.

"Elder Mu Ru, what nonsense are you spouting now?"

"Oh, right. Lin Yi, let me make an introduction!"

Yi Nanshan quickly wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes.

He called Lin Yi closer. "This is the Elder Celestial Master of Dragon Tiger Mountain, Elder Mu Ru!"

"He’s the one who meticulously arranged the trials you passed earlier!"

"Now that you’ve reached the summit, it means you’re qualified to become his disciple!"

"Hurry up and pay your respects to the Elder Celestial Master!"

Lin Yi nodded quickly, stepped forward, and performed a cupped-fist salute.

"Disciple Lin Yi pays his respects to the Elder Celestial Master!"

Hearing this, the Elder Celestial Master burst into laughter.

"HAHAHA... Good, good, very good!"

"Come, take this. This is a meeting gift I prepared for you as your master!"

After speaking, the Elder Celestial Master shot a provocative glance at Yi Nanshan.

A brocade box had appeared in his hand, which he handed to Lin Yi.

When Lin Yi took the brocade box and opened it,

he found a book, a jade tablet, and two bottles of medicinal pills inside.

Seeing these items, Yi Nanshan let out a cold snort.

"I didn’t expect you to be so generous, even bringing out the Visualization Heart Returning Technique," Yi Nanshan said, though he was still somewhat surprised.

Although Lin Yi didn’t know the value of the Visualization Heart Returning Technique,

the fact that it could surprise his grandfather

suggested it was no ordinary item.

Even Tang Qinru hurried over to peek inside the brocade box.

"This is the ’Visualization Heart Returning Technique’? Elder Celestial Master, isn’t this gift a bit too valuable?" Tang Qinru said quickly.

The Elder Celestial Master threw his head back and laughed. "Lin Yi is my Closed-door Disciple. What’s a mere ’Visualization Heart Returning Technique’ in comparison?"

"You, on the other hand, Lao Yi. You and your grandson are reunited. Haven’t you prepared any meeting gift for my disciple?

If you have nothing, don’t blame me for making a fuss!"

Hearing this, Yi Nanshan’s expression darkened.

"He may be your disciple, but he’s my grandson. How could I have prepared nothing?"

As he spoke, a scroll appeared in Yi Nanshan’s hand.

Handing it to Lin Yi, he said with a light chuckle, "Xiaoyi, keep this safe. Don’t let any scoundrels covet it and trick you out of it!"

"This is..."

Lin Yi glanced at it in surprise.

The moment he unrolled the scroll,

a crimson light shone out. It was a blood-red setting sun.

The entire painting was saturated with a blood-red hue, depicting a desolate continent, a land covered in remains, and roaring demonic beasts...

The style was like a vision of Hell on earth.

Just as Lin Yi was inwardly horrified, wondering why his grandfather would give him such a painting,

the Elder Celestial Master and Tang Qinru were both stunned.

"This... This is the Blood Prison Map? So this long-lost map was secretly stashed away by you, you old coot?" the Elder Celestial Master said in shock.

Yi Nanshan smiled and nodded. "Back then, the owner of this Blood Prison Map entrusted it to me before he departed on his travels."

"He told me to give it to someone with predestined fate. Now, I believe my grandson is that person, and he is worthy of the Blood Prison Map!"

The Elder Celestial Master laughed as well.

"With this Blood Prison Map, it will be an immense boon to his Martial Arts journey!"

Listening to their conversation,

Lin Yi rolled up the map.

"Grandfather, Celestial Master, this Blood Prison Map is..."

"Hahaha, it’s a Visualization Image. To an ordinary person, it’s just a somewhat gruesome picture. Only a specific kind of person can look at it and discover its profound mysteries!"

"Today, I’m bestowing this Blood Prison Map upon you. I hope you won’t fail the expectations of its original owner!"

"Cultivate diligently. In the future, you’ll be able to go much further on the path of Martial Arts!"

Yi Nanshan finished speaking with a smile.

Lin Yi nodded quickly and said, "Yes, Grandfather, I will definitely cultivate diligently!"

"Hahaha..."

Yi Nanshan and the Elder Celestial Master looked at each other and burst into laughter.

...

Lin Yi didn’t descend the mountain that day.

Instead, he remained on the mountain to practice visualization.

One Visualization Heart Returning Technique, and one Blood Prison Map.

It was as if the Elder Celestial Master and Yi Nanshan had planned it all along.

The two meeting gifts complemented each other perfectly.

In his room, Lin Yi sat cross-legged.

Xiaoqi was lying beside him, asleep.

It seemed to have no fear of new places whatsoever.

No matter where it went, it could rest peacefully.

As long as Lin Yi was nearby, that was enough...

’The Blood Prison Map!’

Lin Yi unrolled the scroll and gazed at the apocalyptic scene.

The setting sun in the painting cast down rays of bloody sunlight.

It only served to make the image even more gruesome.

Not a single person could be seen in the painting, yet remains were scattered everywhere.

Looking closely, these were not human remains, but rather those of demonic and exotic beasts.

Suddenly, a thick, coppery scent of blood wafted out.

It made Lin Yi’s brow furrow deeply.

Then, a figure flashed across the blood-red sky.

Lin Yi hurriedly tried to focus on the figure.

But it had already vanished without a trace.

Since he had begun cultivating Martial Arts, he had actually seen more than one or two Visualization Images.

Back at the New Star Martial Arts Hall, in Yang Yong’s office,

he had seen a Visualization Image.

Although it was only that one time, he had benefited greatly from it.

It had especially tempered and honed his mind and spirit.

But that was the only time.

When he went to the office later, Lin Yi could no longer visualize anything from that painting.

Now, this Visualization Image

gave Lin Yi a much more realistic feeling.

He could smell the stench of blood from a battlefield just by looking at the painting.

He just couldn’t seem to enter it.

’It seems there are some conditions for entering this Blood Prison Map.’

After a long while, he put the Blood Prison Map away, storing it in his Storage Ring.

He pondered inwardly,

recalling what his grandfather had said earlier.

The owner of the Blood Prison Map had told him to give it to the destined person.

And that destined person was, naturally, himself.

It was just that he hadn’t yet met the conditions to activate the Blood Prison Map.

’Or was his grandfather just being biased, forcing the idea that he was the destined one?’

Whatever the case, the Blood Prison Map was at least a great treasure.

Just like the Visualization Heart Returning Technique that the Elder Celestial Master had given him.

His grandfather had been extremely shocked when he saw that book.

’It must be a Secret Technique from Dragon Tiger Mountain.’

Lin Yi sat cross-legged and entered a meditative state, gradually slipping into the realm of the Star River Qi Transformation Technique.

As soon as he entered, he discovered that the Daoist figure seemed to be a little closer to him.

Not only that, but where the Daoist had previously sat cross-legged in meditation with his eyes tightly shut,

his eyes were now slightly open.

And his gaze was as sharp as a torch, seeming to look right at Lin Yi.

Seeing this Daoist, Lin Yi quickly stood up and bowed. "Disciple Lin Yi greets Senior!"

The moment he spoke,

his words seemed to drift out across the Star River like a divine, ethereal sound.

But the Daoist did not answer.

Nor did he make any other movements.

Instead, he slowly closed his eyes again, returning to his meditative state.

Seeing this, Lin Yi sat down again.

’He might have ignored me, but just seeing the Daoist open his eyes...’

...already filled Lin Yi with anticipation.

’My realm... it’s still not high enough.’

When his realm was high enough, the Daoist would surely open his eyes, and perhaps even speak with him directly.

Lin Yi sat cross-legged once more and resumed his cultivation.
