Chapter 461: Temple Master Ning's Unique Appearance

Ning Fei rested at the Deer Sanctuary for another day.

This time, he left all the little ones at the Deer Sanctuary, planning to search for the Peach Blossom Spring Ruins alone.

"Temple Master, how long will you be gone this time?" Jiang Xue asked with a smile, holding Little Fox in her arms.

"Probably just a few days. I'm just going to look at the scenery."

"Take good care of them for me."

Ning Fei added.

"Mm, will do."

After that, Ning Fei shouldered a hiking bag and hit the road alone.

Before leaving the Wenyan Deer Enclosure, Ning Fei checked his Popularity Points.

His total Popularity Points had reached 170 million, and his available Popularity Points sat at an impressive 50 to 60 million.

Above the Diamond Draw was the Divine Draw.

The System had told him from the very beginning that ten million Popularity Points could be exchanged for a single Divine Draw.

A Divine Draw would grant him exactly what he needed most.

"System, let's do a Divine Draw,"

Ning Fei said silently.

One Divine Draw was equivalent to eleven Diamond Draws. Ning Fei was full of anticipation for what kind of prize it would yield.

"Ding! Host has selected the Divine Draw. Drawing..."

"Congratulations to the Host for obtaining the item: Superman Glasses."

"Superman Glasses: A magical pair of glasses. As long as the wearer has them on, no one will be able to recognize the Host's appearance."

Hearing the System's prompt, Ning Fei's interest was piqued.

'It even has Superman Glasses...'

'But for me right now, this is definitely what I need the most.'

'Does this mean I could even draw Iron Man's suit and Thor's hammer?'

'This Divine Draw really is incredible.'

Ning Fei thought to himself.

However, this item suited him far too well.

He could finally go back to being an ordinary person in society.

After leaving the Wenyan Deer Enclosure, Ning Fei put on the Superman Glasses.

The material of the glasses was extremely unusual; they carried no weight whatsoever.

Ning Fei flagged down a taxi. The driver welcomed him in and politely asked, "Where to, brother?"

"The airport," Ning Fei gave his destination.

Taxi drivers generally fell into two categories. One type hated chatting and stayed relatively silent for the whole trip. The other type loved to shoot the breeze and brag about everything under the sun, acting as if they knew every secret across the four corners of the world.

This driver clearly belonged to the latter.

"Brother, with that outfit, are you a real Daoist, or just copying Temple Master Ning?"

The driver asked with a laugh.

The question caught Ning Fei completely off guard.

Now that he was wearing the Superman Glasses, in the driver's eyes, his clothing hadn't changed, but his facial features were completely different.

"Uh... I'm a Daoist," Ning Fei could only reply.

"Brother, stop joking. You're dressed exactly like Temple Master Ning! I've picked up no less than a dozen people wearing this exact same getup!"

The driver spoke with absolute confidence, looking quite pleased with himself for seeing through Ning Fei's 'lie.'

"Mm, you're right." Ning Fei didn't want to over-explain.

However, the driver chattered on endlessly.

"Buddy, looking at your outfit, you've gotta be a fan of Temple Master Ning too."

"Even though I'm not wearing a Daoist Robe, I'm a huge fan myself."

"The undershirt and underwear I've got on are the exact same models Temple Master Ning wears. See that decoration hanging from the rearview mirror? That's a jade Qilin Pendant, just like his!"

"I genuinely believe Temple Master Ning is a living immortal hiding deep in the mountains of Huaxia. I live right here in Qincheng and I've been up to Qingfeng Temple several times, but sadly, I've never caught a glimpse of him."

"If I did, I would definitely burn some incense, kowtow a few times, and beg for his guidance."

The driver's words left Ning Fei feeling a bit helpless.

He could only reply, "If Temple Master Ning knew that, he would probably be very happy."

"Of course! It's just a shame I don't have the luck to meet a living immortal," the driver said with a shake of his head and a slight sigh of regret.

Ning Fei adjusted his glasses and said nothing more.

Once at the airport, purchasing a ticket and boarding went smoothly. Airports and train stations were heavily automated these days with self-service ticket kiosks, so he didn't run into any trouble.

The only hassle was that checking into a hotel in Changde still required showing his ID card, which would conflict with the disguise of his glasses. Because of this, Ning Fei took off the glasses right before stepping into the hotel.

A moment later, a wave of screams erupted across the hotel lobby.

"Ah! It's Temple Master Ning!"

"Look, it's Temple Master Ning! Temple Master Ning is here!"

"My god, Temple Master Ning in the flesh!"

"Where? Where's my husband?"

"He looks so handsome in person!"

"Please sign an autograph!"

Ning Fei had a handsome and composed appearance, naturally carrying the bearing of an unmatched young lord. The blue Daoist Robe he wore only amplified his otherworldly, immortal aura.

The moment he stepped up to the front desk, a crowd surged around him.

"I'd like to book a room. A single king suite, please. Thank you."

Ning Fei handed over his ID card to the female receptionist.

The receptionist's eyes were practically glued to him. Even as she took his ID card and typed on her keyboard, her gaze never once left his face.

After getting his room card, Ning Fei gave a polite nod to the surrounding crowd and headed up to his room to settle in.

'Looks like I'll have to find more out-of-the-way hotels in the future,'

Ning Fei shook his head with a sigh.

He glanced at the map. It showed that the Peach Blossom Spring Ruins were located deep within several massive mountains in Wuling.

'If the ruins are hidden inside the mountains themselves, digging a path through on my own is next to impossible.'

'So the most important thing is finding the passage that leads to the ruins.'

'It's been so many years. I wonder if the passage even still exists,'

Ning Fei thought to himself.

The next day, Ning Fei headed straight for his destination.

The location marked on his map was nestled deep amid mountains and rivers.

According to the map, the only way to reach it was by taking a wooden boat up a winding river, passing through the towering peaks on either side.

Early that morning, Ning Fei arrived at the riverbank and hired a fishing boat, ready to explore the depths of the scenic wilderness.

At the same time, he started his live stream.

Naturally, he didn't wear the Superman Glasses while streaming.

Viewers eagerly clicked into Ning Fei's Live-stream Room.

Through the camera lens, Ning Fei could be seen standing at the bow of the boat, gazing off into the distance.

At the stern, a boatman gently pushed a long pole against the riverbed.

The wooden boat glided slowly forward, completely surrounded by lush green mountains and crystal-clear water.

It was a breathtakingly beautiful scene.

"Wow!"

"Temple Master Ning's signature grand entrance!"

"Every single frame could be a wallpaper!"

"How does he always manage to find such poetic backgrounds?"

"Maybe it's because he carries that poetic aura himself."

"Where is this place? I've never seen it before."

Moments after going live, the viewer count was already staggering.

Ning Fei looked up at the drone and spoke slowly.

"I am currently in the Wuling region."

"Legend has it that this is where Tao Yuanming wrote the Record of the Peach Blossom Spring."

"I've also caught wind of some rumors that the Peach Blossom Spring Ruins might actually exist."

"So, today, I plan to search this area to see if I can find the ruins of the Peach Blossom Spring."

As he stood at the bow, his voice remained as calm and placid as an ancient well.

But the viewers were completely stunned by his words. Staring at their screens, they were entirely at a loss for words.

"What?!"

"He wants to find the Peach Blossom Spring Ruins?"

"Does the Peach Blossom Spring actually exist?!"
