Chapter 79: Chapter 49: Two Months Later, Visitors at Huang Bamboo Temple

He had even been considering lately that in a few days, after his junior sister broke through to the Fourth Layer, he might take advantage of her vacation time to visit Yellow Crane Temple. Daoist Huang He had a good attitude, and the Crane Egg he sent was no ordinary item. Since Li Yinsheng was now a Daoist himself, he would have to visit his neighbors sooner or later.

At that time, apart from the serious business of asking Daoist Huang He if he had any more Crane Eggs and whether they were for sale, he could also take the opportunity to have another game of chess with Vice Temple Master Huang. For this very purpose, he had specially bought a few chess manuals and studied them a little during his free time from Cultivation.

"If I have the chance to play chess with Vice Temple Master Huang again, I must give him a huge surprise!" he thought.

Just as Li Yinsheng was pondering this, an aura that was both unfamiliar yet tinged with a trace of familiarity entered the range of his Divine Sense, heading straight toward Xuanzhen Temple. Li Yinsheng let out a soft exclamation of surprise and shifted his attention. When he "saw" the newcomer, he was a little taken aback.

This person heading toward Xuanzhen Temple was someone he had crossed paths with once before.

A few months ago, right after he learned from his Martial Uncle that a Spirit Refining Array could assist his junior sister in her Cultivation, he had gone to Baoguang Temple to find an Array Master for the Array Formation. At that time, he had planned to seek help from Seven Stars Temple to construct the Array, but on the way, he encountered a middle-aged Cultivator running a stall selling talismans, who told him an important piece of information.

Jade Altar Temple, which originally only accepted orders from familiar customers, was now also taking orders from unfamiliar Cultivators and Daoist Temples.

It was precisely because of the information provided by that Cultivator that he went to Jade Altar Temple, which led to the Bright Spirit Refining Array currently in their temple. Thinking about it, he actually still owed the man a favor.

Of course, compared to this favor, what truly left a deep impression on Li Yinsheng was the man’s talismans—they were drawn so uniquely and extraordinarily ugly. However, the man had also mentioned back then that he was not a Talisman Cultivator; Drawing Talismans was merely a hobby, and his actual duty in the temple was Guardian of the Dao and Demon Suppression.

As for the Daoist Temple he belonged to...

Li Yinsheng pondered for a moment. If he remembered correctly, the man had introduced himself as Qi Jiushan from Huang Bamboo Temple.

Huang Bamboo Temple...

Li Yinsheng didn’t have a deep impression of this Daoist Temple. Among the many Daoist Temples under their Dharma Vein, Huang Bamboo Temple was probably of an upper-middle tier—falling short of the best, but better than the worst. It really didn’t have any famous points worth remembering.

"Why would Qi come looking for me all of a sudden?" Li Yinsheng wondered, feeling somewhat puzzled. "Besides, when we parted ways, only Qi introduced his background. I never mentioned that I was from Xuanzhen Temple, or even told him my name. How did Qi manage to find his way here?"

Qi Jiushan’s Cultivation was not bad at all. He rode on a Demon-Slaying Pestle Magical Artifact, Flying in the Sky. Li Yinsheng did not stop him, so after entering the range of his Divine Sense, Qi Jiushan only flew for a short moment before arriving in front of Xuanzhen Temple. However, he did not enter Xuanzhen Temple directly. Instead, he stopped in the air a hundred feet away from the temple wall and cupped his hands in a respectful greeting.

"Is Fellow Daoist Li Yinsheng of Xuanzhen Temple present?" Qi Jiushan channeled his Magical Power to transmit his voice into Xuanzhen Temple. His demeanor and tone were both exceedingly polite and courteous. "I am Qi Jiushan, Steward of the Demon Suppression Hall at Huang Bamboo Temple. I have come to visit Li on the recommendation of Meng Yu from Jade Altar Temple. May I enter the temple for a chat?"

Hearing his words, Li Yinsheng was a little surprised. He hadn’t expected Meng to be the one who introduced him. Although he didn’t know how Qi was acquainted with Meng, this explained why he knew to come to Xuanzhen Temple to look for him.

Since they were both Fellow Daoists, Li Yinsheng naturally had no reason to turn him away. He immediately spoke up.

"Qi, after we parted ways at Baoguang Temple, I didn’t expect we would reunite like this. There is no need for such formalities; please enter."

Up in the air, Qi Jiushan shuddered slightly, his face filled with astonishment. He was surprised not only because this Li sounded as if they had met before, but more importantly, because the voice wasn’t transmitted through the air for him to hear—it rang directly in his mind.

The technique of Divine Sense Voice Transmission!

This kind of Divine Sense Voice Transmission technique had many advantages when used, but it demanded a significantly high level of Cultivation. Generally speaking, one needed at least sixty years of Cultivation to use it with ease!
