Dao Companions Help Me Live Forever

Chapter 153: Farewell to the Beauty on Moon True Mountain

Moon True Mountain.

Wenren Yue walked side by side with Yu Xian, her hands wrapped around his arm, on a small path in the back mountain. The minor grievances between them were quickly resolved under Yu Xian's persuasion.

Evergreen pine and cypress trees were planted on both sides of the path, and the winding stone steps had the air of a hermit.

The stone steps were covered with pine needles and leaves, and stepping on them lightly made a creaking sound.

"She doesn't dare to see you, always locking herself in the back mountain. Even if I want to see her, she doesn't always meet me."

Wenren Yue's complexion was rosy, and her body was filled with a nourishing glow. However, when it came to her master's failed breakthrough, a hint of sadness appeared in her eyes.

A few months ago, after Moon True Sect wiped out the Ye family in Hongye Town, her master entrusted her with the position of sect leader and then went into seclusion to break through to the Foundation Building stage.

During this period, Senior Yu, who was by her side, sent a Foundation Building spiritual object and an auxiliary breakthrough pill.

Now Wenren Yue was grateful to have the auxiliary breakthrough pill. Otherwise, her master would have died with his meridians severed after the failed breakthrough.

But even though he survived, her master's vitality was greatly damaged, and his cultivation regressed to the seventh level of Qi Refining.

After all, not everyone could have the same conditions as Yulan, with various auxiliary spiritual pills and Yu Xian, a late-stage Foundation Building cultivator, guarding by her side.

But these were not the reasons why her master didn't dare to see Senior Yu.

The real reason was that her master had aged.

The Rejuvenation Pill couldn't compensate for the aging appearance after a failed breakthrough. Her master used to look like he was in his twenties, standing next to her like her older sister.

But now her master looked no different from a woman in her forties or fifties, with sagging skin and wrinkles at the corners of his eyes that couldn't be concealed even with a lot of makeup.

Thinking of her master's heartbroken and desperate look when he saw his own appearance, Wenren Yue couldn't help but look at the man beside her.

This was the real reason for her master's despair.

Yu Xian sighed softly when he heard about Master Liu's situation.

There was a difference between close and distant relationships.

Even though Master Liu served him well, he couldn't provide her with the same treatment as Yulan.

A Foundation Building spiritual object and an auxiliary breakthrough pill were already the limit.

After all, even a wandering cultivator like Brother Li had to sign a fifty-year contract of worship with the market for a Foundation Building spiritual object.

And that was only because of Yu Xian's face.

As they chatted and walked, they soon saw a small courtyard built on the mountainside.

The courtyard was clean but also desolate.

"Master, Yue'er has come to see you."

Wenren Yue greeted in advance when they entered the door.

"There is also a guest who came with me."

"Master is still fine. It's just a failed breakthrough, not a life-threatening situation. Instead of spending time seeing me every day, it's better to save time for cultivation.

Now the burden of Moon True Sect is all on you, and you can't be as willful as before."

Inside the house, Master Liu kept talking, giving off a feeling of an old mother.

Yu Xian found it interesting and couldn't help but laugh, giving Master Liu a reminder.

Sure enough, Master Liu's voice abruptly stopped, and then the sound of footsteps hurriedly followed, and the door of the house slammed shut.

"Is it, is it Senior Yu?"

Through the closed door, Master Liu's voice trembled.

Yu Xian said loudly, "It's me. Master Liu, don't you want to see me?"

Although this thin door was no different to him, he didn't use his divine sense to observe the scene inside.

Master Liu forced herself to say, "This humble woman feels ashamed of the affection from Senior, and moreover, this humble woman is old and unattractive, so she doesn't have the face to see Senior again."

Yu Xian fell silent for a moment and didn't insist on seeing her.

"I'm going to Shangyang City. I came here this time to bid you farewell."

Master Liu said, "This humble woman wishes Senior a smooth journey."

Yu Xian said, "After I leave, there will be very few chances for me to come back.

You are no longer the sect leader of Moon True Sect, and you no longer have those burdens. If you are willing to follow me, I can take you with me."

He knew that Master Liu would never follow him.

After all, she didn't even dare to see him.

So this sentence didn't have any substantial meaning, but it could move a woman to death and make her fall completely in love with him.

As for the usefulness of this love.

Yu Xian didn't know, but being loved was better than loving someone else.

Sure enough, when Master Liu heard this, she couldn't help but feel sad. Her voice choked, "Senior's kindness, this humble woman understands. It's just that this humble woman is used to the scenery of Moon True Mountain and doesn't want to travel far anymore."

Yu Xian sighed, "Alright, I won't force you."

"Yue'er, I'm leaving. Stay with your master."

He pulled Wenren Yue's hand and placed a white jade bottle in her palm. Inside was a golden Foundation Building pill.

When Master Liu was building the Foundation, Chen Yi had not yet recognized him, but later he was trapped by the Red Peach Blossom Formation, which affected his mind.

Therefore, it can only be said that it was a matter of timing and fate.

If Master Liu had delayed building the Foundation for another half year, perhaps he would have had a higher chance of success, with a two or three percent increase in success rate.

Even if the breakthrough failed, he would not have suffered a serious injury and ended up old and faded.

After all, the two Foundation Building Pills in his hand were prepared for Yulan, so he could only give Master Liu a Foundation Building spiritual object.

But now that he had the support of the Gold Core, he estimated that he would never lack Foundation Building Pills in the future.

Therefore, even if he only had one Foundation Building Pill left, he would give it willingly.

"Senior Yu, what is this?" Wenren Yue looked surprised.

Yu Xian smiled and raised a finger to indicate silence, and transmitted his voice, "Take good care of your master. This is a Foundation Building Pill. I remember your master is not yet fifty years old, so cultivate well and you will have another chance to build the Foundation. The Elder Li from Zhaojia Market also succeeded in building the Foundation for the second time, just like your sister Yulan. Can't your master do it? If the Foundation Building is successful, restoring her appearance will be a piece of cake. By the way, don't break through at Mount Yuezhen next time, go to Zhaojia Gou. There is a gathering spirit formation arranged by me. I have already given the order, and no one from Zhaojia will stop you."

Wenren Yue's beautiful eyes instantly became misty.

Her nature was pure, and under her master's brainwashing, she had an extraordinary admiration for Yu Xian.

Now that she had the Foundation Building Pill in her hand, she had an impulse to die for him, even if the pill was not for her.

"Senior Yu, you are too kind to me and my master..." Wenren Yue tightly hugged Yu Xian, burying her head in his chest, and tears began to flow.

"Now you are the head of the Wenren sect. Don't act like a child. When it's time for you to build the Foundation, don't be as foolish as your master and act recklessly. Send someone to Zhaojia Market to give me a message, and I will prepare a Foundation Building Pill for you."

Yu Xian casually drew a small cake, wiped away the tears from Wenren Yue's eyes, and quietly left without taking away a single cloud.

He didn't force a meeting with Master Liu, leaving each other with the most beautiful impression.

Besides, the Foundation Building Pill was not omnipotent, and Master Liu could still fail to build the Foundation. At that time, they would truly have no chance to meet.

But by then, he should have a new woman by his side.

Yu Xian thought in a very inappropriate manner.

Master Liu was just a passing traveler in his life. If he couldn't keep her, then he wouldn't. He wouldn't be too sad about it.

If he had to compare, it would probably be like losing a pet he had raised.

...

After a long time.

Wenren Yue knocked on her master's door.

"Master, Senior Yu has left."

The door creaked open, and a graceful but aged woman walked out.

She appeared to be in her forties, with slightly wrinkled eyebrows and a mix of gray and black hair, which made her look a bit old.

It was Master Liu, who had failed to break through.

"I know."

Master Liu had no expression on her face, her eyes were swollen, and there was a hint of despair in them.

Seeing the lifeless look in her master's eyes, Wenren Yue's heart trembled. Taking advantage of her intelligence, she quickly handed over the pill bottle and said, "Master, this is the Foundation Building Pill that Senior Yu gave you. He said not to give up and that he is waiting for you in Shangyang City."

The latter sentence was added by her own initiative.

She was afraid that if she didn't add this sentence, her master might disappear behind her back at any time.

Sure enough, when Master Liu saw the pill bottle in Wenren Yue's hand, a brilliant light suddenly burst from her eyes, and she couldn't believe it, "Did he really say that?"

Wenren Yue nodded with a stiff head, "Yes."

Although Master Liu felt that her disciple's expression was a bit off, a Foundation Building Pill couldn't be fake.

Her heart was already filled with immense surprise, and her tired body suddenly seemed to have infinite strength.

"Yue'er."

"Master, Yue'er is here."

Master Liu's eyes were filled with shyness, and with infinite anticipation for the future, she smiled lightly at Wenren Yue.

"The luckiest thing in my life is meeting Senior Yu. After I break through, I want to follow Senior Yu and give him everything I have."

This was the first time she had expressed her true feelings so directly in front of her disciple, but it sounded so natural and so reasonable.

Wenren Yue nodded dumbly, but a thought flashed through her mind.

"I feel the same way."
