Chapter 6192: Fellow Daoist, Your Residence Is Haunted
The middle-aged man was tall and robust. His flesh appeared as strong as iron, able to withstand any force.
However, he didnât come off as threatening. His roundish features gave him a simple and honest look, almost childlike especially when he smiled.
âYou are?â Li Xian could tell that the four were special.
He became cautious - something he didnât feel while meeting Li Qiye for the first time. He might live in the wilderness but this didnât mean he was a fool. There was no reason for them to be visiting his fallen clan.
The four stared at Li Xian and knew he was a normal cultivator. Anyone with the ability to leave had left long ago.
âFellow Daoists, we are students from Orchid Academy visiting Old Ruins. We are looking for a place to rest, would that be alright?â The prestigious young man bowed.
âOrchid Academy?â Li Xian heaved a sigh of relief.
Orchid was a famous institution in Old World. It didnât have the same dominance as Desolate Frontier or Seventy-two Skyraisers. Nevertheless, even emperors and desolate gods wouldnât mind learning there.
The students went through a rigorous selection process - all were highly regarded individuals with limitless potential.
In Old World, the two best places for learning were Orchid Academy and Sacred Mountain. The former was far simpler, always maintaining a neutral stance.
âCome in, come in.â He opened the gate and let them inside.
The students looked around, especially the girl. Upon seeing Li Qiye, she squinted and pressed her lips together.
âFellow Daoist, your residence is haunted.â The monk said seriously.
âUh...â Li Xian forced a chuckle as he replied: âWeâve always been living here.â
âMonk Zhu, your bad habit is rearing its head again, youâre scaring him.â The girl chastised.
âMy apologies, but we can ask Brother Mu as well.â The monk placed his palms together, looking both clever and cute.
âI suppose, this can be considered training.â Princess Chen was persuaded.
âSo be it, letâs hunt some ghosts.â Mu Hu found this amusing.
âWould that be alright with you, Fellow Daoist?â Orchidcore asked Li Xian: âYou shouldnât stay here for much longer without ridding it of the ghosts or you might be the last generation.â
âFellow Daoists, I only have four walls left and cannot afford the payment.â Li Xian tried to refuse.
Initially, he didnât mind the ghosts since he considered them as his ancestors. Moreover, Li Qiye also said that this wasnât a supernatural matter.
âRest assured, fate has brought us together and we have no intention of charging you. However, if you insist on repaying us, then let us stay here for two days.â Orchidcore shook his head.
Li Xian couldnât help but stare at Li Qiye, wanting his help.
âThey can try if they wish, itâs just that some ghosts arenât that easily expelled.â Li Qiye said.
âWe will try our best, I believe we can get it done.â Orchidcore responded.
His clan, the Mu, was once a powerful dao lineage. As its genius, he was capable and often exceeded his peers.
âDonât worry, Brother Orchidcore can take care of any foul creatures with his Mobai Blade.â Princess Chen smiled.
âTeasing me again? My meager skills only let down the ancestors.â Orchidcore had an awkward smile.
âMobai Blade.â Li Qiye glanced at the youth after hearing this.
âYou probably donât know. Mobai Blade is an unbeatable dao created by Progenitor Mobai.â Princess Chen said because Li Qiye was either a mortal or a weaker cultivator than Li Xian.
âMobai Blade of the Mu.â Li Xian was visibly impressed.
âYou have heard of it before, Fellow Daoist?â Orchidcore was surprised.
