Chapter 289: Spirit Serpent Little Qing (Two-in-One Chapter)
What reason could stop a man from rushing towards the sea?
What reason could deter a cultivator from seeking opportunities?
"Well, since you've made the decision to venture into that Blood-colored Secret Realm for a chance at fortune,"
"Liu cannot forcefully stop you."
After staring sternly at Geng Yunsong for a moment, seeing that he remained resolute, Liu Yu did not continue to persuade him.
This child was ultimately not related to him by blood; allowing him to reside at Color Lotus Mountain was simply based on an agreement with Geng Yuanzhang from back then.
He was neither a junior nor a disciple of Liu Yu, and since Geng Yunsong had made his decision, there was no need to forcibly change it.
With this child's qualifications, continuing to stay at Color Lotus Mountain for cultivation would indeed make foundation establishment impossible.
Continuing like this would be tantamount to erasing the future.
"This Yin Thunder Seed possesses tremendous power. Even a careless early foundation establishment cultivator could fall; take it for self-defense."
"And these two magical artifacts, you should take them to use, to increase your self-preservation capabilities."
As he spoke, Liu Yu took out three items and placed them on the table, speaking calmly.
The three items were a dark, round bead, a Three-Inch Sword, and a small shield, both the sword and shield being high-grade magical artifacts.
"Thank you, Uncle Liu, for the generous gifts!"
"Uncle's great kindness, Yunsong will never forget in this life!"
Geng Yunsong said respectfully, his expression still a bit anxious, but the joy in his eyes was hard to suppress.
The reason he came to visit Liu Yu this time was to seek some support to increase his self-defense capabilities.
Now that he had achieved his wish, he felt incredibly excited, and even his chances in the Blood-colored Secret Realm had increased significantly.
Seeing the respectful, anxious, and excited expression on this child’s face, and hearing the respectful words in his ears, Liu Yu suddenly felt a loss of interest.
He had heard such words too many times after establishing his foundation, and they had become somewhat tiresome.
"After entering the Blood-colored Secret Realm, you must not underestimate the dangers."
"Dismissed."
With a symbolic reminder, he waved his hand, sending him away.
"Yes, Uncle. I will take my leave!"
Geng Yunsong performed a respectful bow and then walked out.
Unknowingly, perhaps it was just an illusion, but his footsteps seemed much lighter.
Watching the back of this child, Liu Yu's gaze became profound.
For most ordinary cultivators, whether they advance steadily or charge forward with great vigor, making progress is difficult.
A shallow pool cannot nurture a Flood Dragon that soars into the skies.
Mediocrity and ordinariness are their main melodies, while a reversal of fortune is merely a rare phenomenon, one that could be termed a miracle.
Liu Yu had once been one of them; without the Immortal Abode, he might have made the same choice.
To fight for a glimmer of hope, if one does not strive or fight, there would only be eternal darkness, and miracles could never occur.
Is it worth a leap into the echoing valley?
If one is on the correct path, even if they die in the process, they should have no regrets.
Geng Yunsong has the legacy left by Geng Yuanzhang, combined with the two magical artifacts he bestowed, qualifying him for selection by the sect should not be a problem.
As for whether he could gain something in the secret realm and bring back rewards, that would depend on his fortune.
Bestowing these three items was done in consideration of the Li Xuan Sword and Wind Escape Boat.
With this, the causal relationship from Geng Yuanzhang’s time was nearly complete, leaving only an agreement.
Shaking his head, Liu Yu set aside these distracting thoughts and began to slowly peruse the already compiled "Beast Taming Secret Record."
