Chapter 70: Meeting an old friend again, Yun Quezi, who is in the middle stage of the

The disheveled old man immediately picked up the copper coin that had fallen to the ground, put it to his mouth, bit it hard twice, and then his eyes lit up, saying, "It's quite hard, so it seems to be real."

The old man tossed the copper coin to the waiter in front of him, sat down beside Lin Che with a beaming smile, and tapped the table with his ancient fingers, "Bring me a pot of tea, and some small dishes as well."

The waiter looked at the copper coin in his hand, greatly annoyed, but seeing the calm and composed expression of Senior Lin Che, he could only turn and leave.

The disheveled old man turned around, looked at Lin Che, and his eyes immediately lit up again, "Oh, so it's you! Long time no see."

Lin Che personally poured a cup of fine wine for the old man in front of him, and said with a smile, "Senior, a hundred years have passed, and your demeanor remains as before."

Yun Quezi narrowed his eyes, scrutinizing Lin Che up and down, and said with some surprise, "You actually really condensed a Reaching Heaven Crystal! Oh ho, not bad, reaching this realm at such a young age, tsk tsk tsk."

"In my life, I have seen too many Infant Transformation Stage cultivators, but for them to step into the Dao Querying Realm requires a vast amount of time and immortal jade. Some even fail to advance their cultivation throughout their entire lives. Yet, for you, it seems so simple."

"To be able to advance from the Nascent Soul Stage to the Half-step Ascension Realm in a hundred years, you are the first, and I believe you will also be the last."

Yun Quezi picked up the wine cup on the table and took a sip, then said with a smile, "And the Intention you are currently comprehending… it should be very similar to your Killing God Intent, right?"

Lin Che nodded, and replied without hesitation, "What I am currently comprehending is Nirvana Conception. The so-called Nirvana is to strip away the opponent's physical body and directly attack their soul."

"What a Nirvana Conception!"

Yun Quezi clicked his tongue, "This Nirvana Conception, combined with your Killing God Intent, will greatly increase your own strength by several times, even dozens of times. Tsk tsk tsk, no wonder you have such comprehension."

"Just like Infant Transformation Stage cultivators who wish to step into the Dao Querying Realm, they need a large amount of immortal jade. And perhaps the best way to obtain immortal jade is to go to the Immortal Realm to get more, as the immortal jade within Suzaku Star is not abundant."

"Even if they obtain immortal jade, cultivators still need to condense a Reaching Heaven Crystal; this is a necessary choice for breaking through the Dao Querying Realm. And even after breaking through with a Reaching Heaven Crystal, a large amount of energy is still needed to sustain the body's needs. In short, for a cultivator to break through to Ascension, it is as difficult as ascending to the heavens."

Yun Quezi drained the fine wine in his cup, turned to look at the opera on the stage, and narrowed his eyes, saying, "If you can perfectly fuse both Intentions, this old man guarantees that within three years, you will definitely break through to Ascension."

Lin Che's expression remained calm. Even if Yun Quezi didn't say it, he himself would merge the Nirvana Conception and Killing God Intent to thoroughly advance to the Dao Querying Realm.

"Thank you for the information, Senior. If there are no other matters, this junior will take his leave first."

Lin Che stood up, slightly cupped his hands towards Yun Quezi, and then turned to leave the Drunken Fragrance Pavilion.

Yun Quezi watched Lin Che's departing back, stroked his jaw, and said with some admiration, "He truly is a well-deserved genius. I wonder if he can join my faction; in that case, the Immortal Remnant Clan wouldn't face such a situation."

…

Lin Che, having left Ice Snow City, had just returned to his courtyard when he saw that the earlier Yun Quezi had already arrived, seemingly even faster than him.

Lin Che shook his head and did not drive him away. After all, Yun Quezi was a Dao Querying Realm mid-stage expert, and with his current realm and cultivation, it was absolutely impossible for him to be Yun Quezi's opponent.

If he were to be refined into a Symbol Puppets, it would be a loss he couldn't afford.

Yun Quezi shrugged, his gaze sweeping through the courtyard, and he chuckled, "This is where you live? There's indeed some trick to it; there's actually an array of this level. I'm afraid no one except a Dao Querying Realm cultivator could break it."

"Senior is joking. This junior merely set up a simple array to prevent cultivators from disturbing him. As for other matters, this junior has no interest."

Yun Quezi propped his chin with one hand, picked up the teacup on the table, drained it, and his gaze once again lingered on Hong Die.

However, the moment he saw the ice profound mirror hanging on Hong Die's chest, Yun Quezi immediately stood up, his brows slightly furrowed. He clearly hadn't expected this little girl to possess a Pseudo Immortal Treasure of this level.

"A Pseudo Immortal Treasure… interesting. I didn't expect you, young man, to have so many treasures on you, and to even be able to produce a Pseudo Immortal Treasure. It's truly incredible."

Lin Che personally poured a cup of tea for Yun Quezi and replied with a calm expression, "This junior obtained it by chance. Hong Die is this junior's disciple, so it is only right to give it to her as a gift."

"Young brother, there's no need to be nervous. While this old man desires Pseudo Immortal Treasures, I am not the kind of person who would casually snatch away others' opportunities, ha ha ha."

Yun Quezi naturally understood the implied meaning in Lin Che's words. Moreover, this fellow was clearly telling him that this was Hong Die's treasure, and if he were to snatch it, he would have to fight to the death.

Lin Che's talent was astonishing, and the fact that he could produce something like a Pseudo Immortal Treasure indicated that he possessed something even more precious than a Pseudo Immortal Treasure.

If they were to truly come to blows and Lin Che managed to escape by chance, then only death would await him.

After all, Lin Che only needed a few years to break through to Ascension, and reaching the Dao Querying Realm mid-stage would probably not take too long. Being his enemy would only bring him more trouble.

It was precisely for this reason that Yun Quezi did not act against Lin Che. Moreover, he still needed Lin Che's help to fight against the experts of Zhu Que Country, so he naturally couldn't kill him here.

Yun Quezi stood with one hand behind his back, his expression transforming from previous playfulness to solemnity, then he looked at Lin Che and said, "Little brother Lin Che, breaking through to the Dao Querying Realm will trigger a great tribulation of heaven and earth, and all the Ascension cultivators within the entire Suzaku Star will perceive it."

"If you trust me, this old man can help you strengthen your array, but it can only help you resist for three months. As for whether you can break through within that time, that will depend on your own destiny."

Yun Quezi knew that he was no match for his senior brother Zhu Quezi, so resisting his attacks would be as difficult as ascending to the heavens. It would be better to gain Lin Che's favor.

Lin Che thought for a moment and then agreed, saying, "Then I will trouble Senior."

Yun Quezi stroked his pale goatee, walked to the entrance, and with a smiling expression, his fingers danced. Hundreds of top-grade spirit stones soared from his storage ring.

At the same time, the skeletal remains of a demonic beast whose strength had reached the Initial Stage of Dao Querying Realm were also fully integrated into the array Lin Che had set up.
