Chapter 248 There is no Grand Master in the Sui Dynasty

"As the saying goes, there is no reward without merit. Although I am indeed very tempted by this Six Fruit Wine, it is a bit too surprising that Master Lu Miaozi suddenly wants to give me the recipe of the Six Fruit Wine. After all, this is just the first time we meet. Or, Master Lu Miaozi saw something from my face?" Ye Xiu was very curious about why Lu Miaozi did this.

"I did see something from the face of the young man." Lu Miaozi said after a moment of hesitation.

"Then I wonder what Master Lu Miaozi saw?" Ye Xiu was excited. He was really curious about this.

"This is the first time I have seen the face of the young man. I don't know how to evaluate this face of the young man." Lu Miaozi sighed.

"So what's my face like?"

"Young man, your face is a classic example of someone who will bring prosperity to their wives. You can bring great luck to your woman, making almost everything she wishes come true. But your face also reveals a face full of peach blossoms, which means you have a very strong peach blossom luck, something I've never seen before. Obviously, you will be involved with many women. However, your strong peach blossom luck is also a classic example of bad peach blossom luck. Under normal circumstances, it should turn into a peach blossom curse, but because of your face that brings prosperity to your wife, it has been suppressed and neutralized..."

"A face that brings prosperity to your wife?" Ye Xiu was stunned. He didn't expect Lu Miaozi to say that his face brought prosperity to his wife.

Ye Xiu thought back to the women around him - were there any who brought prosperity to

their wives? However, they did seem to have a relatively smooth life with him, at least without encountering any accidents or problems. But that didn't seem to explain his prosperity, right?

As for his strong peach blossom luck?

Ye Xiu couldn't deny that. After all, his face was destined to make him entangled with many women. For example, Dongfang Bubai, Yao Yue, Murong Qiudi, Huang Rong, Ning Zhongze, Yue Lingshan, and so on.

However, with so many distinct personalities, many of them quite strong, when so many women collide, it's likely to cause chaos, perhaps even a few deaths.

But these women, oddly enough, get along very well, well, at least safely. It seems there's never been any major turmoil, and no one has ever been schemed against or put in mortal danger.

So, Ye Xiu's abundant romantic luck, despite his bad luck, hasn't truly transformed into bad luck.

Lu Miaozi's predictions must have been quite accurate. Just a lucky wife? Ye Xiu still couldn't quite figure out what exactly made his lucky wife so lucky.

"Ah! Honestly, your face reading is really confusing to me, little brother!" Lu Miaozi suddenly sighed.

"Hmm?" Ye Xiu looked at Lu Miaozi in confusion.

"Your good looks, so attractive for a wife, make me want to introduce my daughter Shang Xiuxun to you, and even arrange for you two to get married. But your luck with women makes me hesitate. After all, I can't let my daughter fall into a fire pit. But in your case, calling it a fire pit doesn't seem quite right..." Lu Miaozi looked torn.

If Ye Xiu wasn't so lucky with women, if he wasn't a bad match, Lu Miaozi would have wanted to match Shang Xiuxun with him simply for his attractiveness. But Ye Xiu's face was just too alluring, a classic example of a bad match. This made Lu Miaozi unsure, unsure how bad Ye Xiu's bad match could be.

Listening to Lu Miaozi's words, Ye Xiu was a little unsure what to say.

Ye Xiu could somewhat understand Lu Miaozi's thoughts. After all, Lu Miaozi was also a father, and naturally wanted his daughter to have a good life. With

Ye Xiu's good looks, it was natural that any father-in-law would want to recruit a son-in-law. But Ye Xiu's face was just too good-looking, too attractive for romance, almost a classic example of a bad romance. As a father, he didn't want his daughter to meet such a man.

"Master Lu Miaozi, let's not talk about this anymore. Let's discuss other matters." Ye Xiu didn't want to continue to dwell on Lu Miaozi's concerns about his daughter, Shang Xiuxun.

"What? You look down on my daughter?" Lu Miaozi frowned, displeased when Ye Xiu didn't even want to mention his daughter.

"Master Lu Miaozi, you misunderstood. I actually came to you this time to make a deal," Ye Xiu said seriously.

Seeing Ye Xiu's seriousness, Lu Miaozi temporarily stopped mentioning his daughter.

"Deal? I don't know what deal you're talking about, young man?"

"Master Lu Miaozi was injured by the demonic energy of the Yin Queen Zhu Yuyan. Once the demonic energy entered your body, it couldn't be expelled, and it continued to corrode your body, drawing on your energy to strengthen itself, making your condition worse and worse, right?" Ye Xiu asked.

"Indeed. What? Do you think you can help me expel this demonic energy?" Lu Miaozi asked with a sneer.

Within the Great Sui Dynasty, the Heavenly Demonic Art of the Yingui Sect was considered the foremost martial art. The demonic energy was particularly eerie and formidable, capable of wiping out bone and marrow. In the Great Sui Dynasty, aside from the seemingly lost Dao Heart Demonic Art, few martial arts could surpass it.

When Lu Miaozi, a sycophantic licker, was injured by a palm strike from his beloved goddess Zhu Yuyan, leaving behind a lingering demonic energy, he was disheartened and initially ignored. By the time he realized the strength of Zhu Yuyan's demonic energy, it was too late. The demonic energy within him had rapidly grown, entwined with his own, and continuously eroded his flesh and blood.

Lu Miaozi tried everything, but to no avail, to expel it, ultimately retreating into this cozy den, awaiting death.

"Indeed," Ye Xiu nodded.

"Hehehe, little brother, I know my situation well. All I can do now is wait for death. Unless you're a celestial being and can suppress the demonic energy within me with your immense power, otherwise—" Lu Miaozi smiled and shook his head. He seemed to have accepted his situation calmly, but underneath, there was a hint of bitterness.

"Master Lu Miaozi, how do you know it won't work if you don't try?" Ye Xiu said.

Ye Xiu appeared confident, but in reality, he wasn't completely certain. After all, he had never done anything like this before. He only knew that his Immortality Art was effective against the Demonic Art, but he couldn't be sure that with his Grandmaster's cultivation, he could dissolve the demonic energy within Lu Miaozi with the Immortality Art.

"So, little brother, are you a celestial being?" Lu Miaozi said with a smile, but he had no faith that Ye Xiu could cure him.

"Of course, I can't be a celestial being. After all, at my age, even if I'm confident I can become one in the future, I'm not one now." Ye Xiu shook his head.

Hearing Ye Xiu say this, Lu Miaozi couldn't help but laugh again. He also laughed at Ye Xiu's arrogance. Ye Xiu was so confident, so confident he could even become a celestial being? Just imagine how many people in the entire world, let alone the Sui Dynasty, could ultimately achieve that status. Ye Xiu was so young, yet he arrogantly claimed he could become a celestial being? Truly arrogant.

"Although I'm not a celestial being, I practice the Art of Immortality. The Qi within the Art of Immortality is full of vitality, almost completely opposite to the properties of Heavenly Demon Qi. Combined with my Grandmaster cultivation, the two combined should allow me to dispel the Heavenly Demon Qi left behind by Zhu Yuyan, who was only a Grandmaster at the time. Shouldn't that be possible?" Ye Xiu said with a smile.

"The Art of Immortality? And you're a Grandmaster?" Lu Miaozi looked at Ye Xiu in astonishment, even shock.

The Art of Immortality was notoriously difficult to practice.

Ever since Guangchengzi created the Changsheng Jue, it has been circulated for hundreds and thousands of years, yet no one has ever successfully cultivated it. Therefore, despite being hailed as one of the Four Great Books of the Sui Dynasty, aside from a small number of individuals, virtually no one has ever sought it. This is because it has been passed down through many hands and forces, yet no one has ever successfully cultivated it.

Therefore, Ye Xiu's mastery of the Changsheng Jue alone is enough to astonish the world.

Furthermore, Lu Miaozi could tell from Ye Xiu's face that he was less than twenty years old. Before he was twenty, he was already a Grandmaster!

Lu Miaozi couldn't help but feel astonished. A young man under twenty, yet he had mastered the Changsheng Jue, his future was undoubtedly promising.

Lu Miaozi now understood why Ye Xiu was so certain of achieving celestial status. With such talent, if Ye Xiu didn't become a celestial being, then perhaps no one else in the world could.

"So, senior, would you like to give it a try?" Ye Xiu asked Lu Miaozi with a smile.

"Of course, since there's hope, it's only natural to give it a try." Lu Miaozi looked at Ye Xiu with a hint of something strange in her eyes. "Brother, my daughter, Shang Xiuxun, is the owner of Pegasus Ranch. Both her personality and appearance are exceptional..."

Hearing Lu Miaozi promoting his own daughter, Ye Xiu looked stunned, a bit amused.

This Lu Miaozi—

"Master Lu Miaozi, I'm incredibly lucky with women, almost awful. Do you really not mind?" Ye Xiu couldn't help but laugh.

Ye Xiu brought up Lu Miaozi's previous assessment of Ye Xiu.

Lu Miaozi was incredibly thick-skinned, genuinely unfazed by Ye Xiu's current accusation of awful luck. "Even though you're awful, you have such exceptional talent. You're destined to become a celestial being, perhaps even a terrestrial immortal. Against such an achievement, awful luck doesn't matter." "

...Master Lu Miaozi, let's get treatment first." Ye Xiu didn't want to dwell on the issue.

The main reason was that Ye Xiu felt he already had enough women around him. If he flirted with another one, he didn't know what Dongfang Bubai and the others would think.

Furthermore, Shang Xiuxun was from the Sui Dynasty, and Ye Xiu would eventually return to the Ming Dynasty. Would Shang Xiuxun be willing to give up Pegasus Ranch? After all, Pegasus Ranch was her family's ancestral property.

"Brother, my Xiuxun is truly exceptional. She's incredibly beautiful and has a wonderful personality. How about I arrange a meeting for you?" Lu Miaozi continued. Who could possibly be so gifted? Lu Miaozi finally understood why Ye Xiu's face indicated he was blessed with a prosperous wife. Since he had become a celestial being, his wife would naturally ascend to heaven as well.

Ye Xiu was helpless and finally had to give a few perfunctory words. Then, Ye Xiu and Lu Miaozi began to work together, trying to see if Ye Xiu's immortal qi could expel the demonic qi from his body.

When Ye Xiu's immortality qi entered Lu Miaozi's body, it was as if it had sensed a devout heretic, and it almost uncontrollably launched an attack on the demonic qi.

Fortunately, with the help of the diary, Ye Xiu had mastered the immortality technique to a very advanced level, and his control over the immortality qi was extremely high, allowing him to control the immortality qi in time.

Otherwise, the immortality qi would have directly charged into Lu Miaozi's body without hesitation, and his body might have been riddled with holes, killing him prematurely.

Lu Miaozi, sensing the movement of Ye Xiu's immortality qi, broke out in a cold sweat; he was very close to death.

However, this also shows that immortality qi and demonic qi are indeed opposites.

When the Longevity Qi entered Lu Miaozi's body, it attempted to attack the Heavenly Demon Qi. However, the Heavenly Demon Qi lacked the same aggressiveness as the Longevity Qi. It was clearly more corrosive, so the Heavenly Demon Qi seemed hopeless against the Longevity Qi.

Ye Xiu controlled the Longevity Qi, separated a strand, and slowly approached the Heavenly Demon Qi within Lu Miaozi.

When the Longevity Qi and the Heavenly Demon Qi met, Lu Miaozi even sensed a faint sign of fear and retreat from the Heavenly Demon Qi, which made his eyes light up.

Ye Xiu also noticed this and breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that Grandmaster-level Longevity Qi could indeed dispel Grandmaster-level Heavenly Demon Qi, even though this Heavenly Demon Qi had been nurtured within Lu Miaozi for so many years and had grown countless times larger.

However, while Ye Xiu's Longevity Qi was certain to dispel the Heavenly Demon Qi within Lu Miaozi, the process was extremely complex and difficult.

This required Ye Xiu to possess supreme control over his immortality qi. He needed to be able to use it to dispel the demonic qi while preventing it from causing a significant stress response and damaging Lu Miaozi's meridians and body. He also had to meticulously separate the demonic qi from Lu Miaozi's own qi.

In short, this procedure was incredibly difficult, no less than a highly complex surgery.

After confirming he could treat Lu Miaozi, Ye Xiu withdrew his immortality qi. Lu Miaozi stared at him with intense eyes. He hadn't expected Ye Xiu to suddenly appear, offering him hope of survival, just as he was about to die. Even Lu Miaozi was overcome with emotion.

"Brother, tell me, what do you want?" Lu Miaozi asked, struggling to suppress his excitement.

"Master Lu Miaozi, I'm interested in the Yanggong treasury and the Evil Emperor's relic within," Ye Xiu asked bluntly.

"Yang Gong's treasure house and the Evil Emperor's relic?" Lu Miaozi was stunned. "You want the Evil Emperor's relic?"

"Yes, I urgently need the fastest way to improve my strength right now," Ye Xiu nodded, speaking calmly.

"Do you want to use the Evil Emperor's relic to improve your strength?" Lu Miaozi took a deep breath, then closed his eyes, exhaled, and then opened them again. "Brother, I honestly don't recommend you take the Evil Emperor's relic. Although it contains the essence of past Evil Emperors, it—" Lu Miaozi couldn't help but shake his head.

Ye Xiu frowned slightly.

"Brother, I sincerely don't recommend you take the Evil Emperor's relic. Besides, you're so young, and you already have such strength. You should settle down, find a place to practice diligently, and strive to improve your strength. Become a celestial being soon, and then think about other things later." Lu Miaozi advised.

"I have reasons that require me to quickly improve my strength," Ye Xiu explained seriously.

"Even so, I still don't recommend you take the Evil Emperor's relic." Lu Miaozi shook his head.

"Why? You know, the Evil Emperor's relic is the bargaining chip you need to pay for this deal. Aren't you worried that I will refuse to make a deal with you because of this?" Ye Xiu looked at Lu Miaozi seriously. He felt that something seemed a little wrong.

Otherwise, Lu Miaozi would not have repeatedly refused for the Evil Emperor's relic.

You know, in The Legend of the Twin Dragons of the Tang Dynasty, after Lu Miaozi knew that he was going to die, he told Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling all the information about Yang Gong's treasure house and the Evil Emperor's relic.

And now, as long as he makes a deal, he can survive, why is he still making excuses?

Lu Miaozi smiled bitterly: "Brother, do you know why in the Great Sui Dynasty, there was only one Grandmaster, Ning Daoqi, and he was a Grandmaster in the Vajra Realm? It was only recently that the witch Zhu Yuyan broke through that there was a second Grandmaster?"

"Could this be related to the Evil Emperor's relic?" Ye Xiu couldn't help but frown. "Besides, I don't think the Great Sui Dynasty only has these two Grandmasters. There must be other Grandmasters hiding somewhere."

Ye Xiu had encountered the Grandmaster of Celestial Phenomena before, so he simply didn't believe that the Great Sui Dynasty only had Ning Daoqi and Zhu Yuyan. And what did this have to do with the Evil Emperor's relic?

"I can responsibly tell you that in the Great Sui Dynasty, there are only two Grandmasters: Ning Daoqi and Zhu Yuyan." Lu Miaozi said with absolute certainty, "I'm afraid you're not from the Great Sui Dynasty either."

"But, have I met Grandmasters other than those two?" Ye Xiu didn't expect Lu Miaozi to know he wasn't from the Great Sui Dynasty. However, he couldn't help but ask, "And why do you, Master Lu Miaozi, say I'm not from the Great Sui Dynasty?"

"There's only one possibility for the Grandmaster you met: that Grandmaster is an outsider, not a Grandmaster of the Great Sui Dynasty at all. As for why I say you're not from the Great Sui Dynasty, it's because the Great Sui Dynasty couldn't possibly possess a Grandmaster of your caliber," Lu Miaozi said with certainty.

Ye Xiu couldn't help but frown at Lu Miaozi's certainty. What on earth did Lu Miaozi know? And was the Grandmaster of Astronomy really not from the Great Sui Dynasty, but someone from another country like him?

"Master Lu Miaozi, I wonder why you say that? Is the Great Sui Dynasty so special, so special that there are almost no Grandmasters?" Ye Xiu couldn't help but ask.

"Indeed!" Lu Miaozi nodded.
