How come the celestial technique I stole is so powerful?!-Chapter 189: Underground Natives

Several men warmly invited them to enter the felt tent to have some drinks and mutton...

After a warm reception until the afternoon, they were full and ready to leave, a man brought two horses from the side: "We people of the grasslands don’t have anything valuable, so we can only offer a horse to repay the kindness of our benefactors. Let it carry you, and may Eternal Heaven bless you with good fortune..."

As the sun set in the west, the vast grasslands were peaceful and tranquil.

Two white horses galloped towards Huixian Town.

Naturally, the riders were Lin Xiaosu and Xiang Yixiu.

The grass was soft, the wind was gentle, but Lin Xiaosu’s mind was engulfed by tumultuous waves...

He had already used the turbulence in the space to shatter the Primordial Crystal. Upon the shattering of the Primordial Crystal, a massive energy was created from the Blood Tower inside his body, transforming into True Qi and evenly distributing throughout the meridians in his entire body.

This was the revolutionary aspect of his method.

Even the enlightened masters of Kun Cang could not refine the Exotic Beasts Essence Crystal from the Ancient Great World, but he could. His method of refinement wasn’t about slowly dissolving with True Qi, but rather rudely sending it into the Space Secret Realm and crushing it, naturally transforming into the energy source of his internal Blood Tower.

On this level, he had surpassed the top masters of Kun Cang.

If cultivation was a cage, his cultivation path at least had one key...

"There’s a question you’ve always not asked, which I think you should." Xiang Yixiu’s voice came through the wind, light yet, each word was heard very clearly by Lin Xiaosu, perhaps this was the marvelous use of highly concentrated True Qi, even controlling the sound.

"For example? What question do you think I should ask?" Lin Xiaosu glanced sideways from the horseback.

Xiang Yixiu smiled lightly: "For instance, you should ask why the Ancient Wilderness’s exotic beasts would appear in the vast grasslands."

"Yes, indeed I should ask... do you have an answer?"

"Not a standard answer, just a speculation!" said Xiang Yixiu: "I think this glacier wolf might have a master, or might have had a master before."

Owned, or once owned...

It was a difficult concept to grasp.

But Lin Xiaosu felt a slight jump in his heart...

If the glacier wolf had an owner, who could it be?

It could only be the sects inside Kun Cang.

Because this realm was once the territory of Kun Cang.

The Array Sect sliced down with a knife, carving this piece of mountains and rivers out of the Ancient Great World, and the creatures inside naturally entered this realm; those sects in Kun Cang raised various exotic beasts, which is what ’having an owner’ implies.

What does ’once had an owner’ imply?

It means this glacier wolf might have escaped.

Initially had an owner, but after escaping, it no longer had an owner, turning into "once had an owner".

"Hopefully, it’s the latter!" Lin Xiaosu said.

"Yes, if this glacier wolf was once owned and later escaped, then we have personally ended the troubles of these mountains and rivers. But if there are some people with ulterior motives deliberately sending out such an extraordinary creature to carry out a shady mission, then these mountains and rivers will have endless troubles," Xiang Yixiu said.

"Do you really care about the peace of these mountains and rivers?" Lin Xiaosu asked.

"Shouldn’t I?" Xiang Yixiu countered.

"As far as I know, your Vajrayana focuses on self-cultivation, the kind where even if the world is turned upside down, I am still free in the world of Buddhism."

"You forgot, I have another identity? I am a university professor! I’ve spent my life studying the nature of beasts, but personally, I still prefer to retain some humanity."

"Ha, I like what you said!"

Xiang Yixiu also laughed: "How about a race?"

"A horse race?"

"Riding the horses past Yinshan, with the wild geese flying close to our faces, any man who comes to the vast grasslands shouldn’t miss the thrill of galloping horses... Go!"

Xiang Yixiu squeezed with his legs, his horse beneath him neighed long, reared up, and dashed towards the distance.

Lin Xiaosu also squeezed with his legs, his white horse charging into the wind.

Two white streaks, one after the other, sprinting to their limits.

In terms of riding skills, Xiang Yixiu was obviously the better.

Because Lin Xiaosu didn’t even know what riding was until he got on the horse.

But his learning ability was terrifying.

Soon, he was able to keep the distance between him and Xiang Yixiu from widening.

Then, the distance began to close.

When Huixian Town was already in sight, he was riding alongside Xiang Yixiu.

Ahead was a highway, and a police car was parked on the roadside.

The two horses stopped simultaneously; two policemen rushed over, faces full of anticipation...

They were the police sent to handle the situation.

They already knew how challenging this mission was, and they were prepared to spend months traveling across the vast grasslands...

Xiang Yixiu lifted his foot and dismounted his horse: "Captain Qiu, no need to hurry, we have already dealt with that wolf, this is its head!"

He raised his hand and took a leather bag off the back of his horse, inside was the unusually large head of the glacier wolf.

Of course, the most precious and unusual Primordial Crystal inside is already gone.

This wolf head is the tool for the police to close the case.

Several policemen all got excited: "Professor Xiang, thanks a lot!"

"You should thank Detective Lin here, he found the clue, and he also saved a child when the ferocious wolf attacked."

"Thank you, Detective Lin!"...

After declining the policemen’s dinner invitation, Lin Xiaosu and Xiang Yixiu slapped the behinds of their respective mounts, and the two horses returned to the prairie on their own.

Although the man sincerely intended to give them the horses, he didn’t expect them to return them.

But Lin Xiaosu is not a local after all; she couldn’t possibly ride thousands of miles back home.

They simply let the horses go back.

Xiang Yixiu thought the same.

The two reached an unspoken agreement and entered Huixian Town...

"Are you going home?" Inside the teahouse, Xiang Yixiu picked up the tea cup.

"Yes, it’s been a while since I was out. It’s time to return," said Lin Xiaosu.

"When you have time, come visit Nanjiang University for fun," suggested Xiang Yixiu. "I have a few female graduate students who are about your age."

"Why do you have to emphasize they are female graduate students?"

"Haha... Isn’t it to add some motivation and passion for you?" Xiang Yixiu laughed heartily...

"You’re really not sounding like a university professor now," Lin Xiaosu was somewhat speechless.

"A university professor is also a human, right? Humans should have basic desires, right? Teaching by day, nurturing at night, that’s quite human, isn’t it? Are you expecting a professor template that involves wearing old-fashioned glasses, leaning on a cane in the classroom, waiting to die?"

"Damn! You and your junior brother truly deserve to be siblings from the same sect. Your junior brother seduces single female tourists all the way, defining it as soothing the loneliness of tourists, manifesting the brilliance of the Buddhist nature," Lin Xiaosu sighed deeply.

"Haha that is the ’Buddha-nature of the empty world, manifesting the true freedom of human nature,’ which is the core essence of our Vajrayana ’Great Freedom Heart Technique’," Xiang Yixiu finished the tea in his cup. "If you are willing to visit the academy, I might share with you my research findings over the years."

Lin Xiaosu was stunned: "Your research findings?"

"Yes, information related to Exotic Beasts and curiosities between heaven and earth. I’m telling you, I collected these materials over a span of twenty years; some are from the heavens, some from beneath the ground, some from Kunlun, and some from a past civilization." freewebnøvel_com

Lin Xiaosu’s heart pounded: "There’s a giant bird called ’Blood Pigeon’, adults have four wings..."

Xiang Yixiu said, "Its eggs are triangular, white as snow with blood streaks inside, gestated in glaciers, one bird is born and the ice river opens, it is born of ice and fire, from the Mountain and River Scripture."

Lin Xiaosu said, "There’s a tree named Meng Wood, each branch and leaf like the Milky Way, upon smelling it..."

"Smelling it brings one into dreams, where one can perceive the secrets of heaven, from the Sea Abyss Scripture!"

Lin Xiaosu was truly stunned.

Mountain and River Scripture, Sea Abyss Scripture...

Mountain and River Scripture is currently housed at Qianlong Base, viewed by everyone as a legend.

He knew Xiang Yixiu knew.

The Sea Abyss Scripture is currently in Liu Lin Temple. He’s seen it, Hu Ya’s seen it, people of Qianlong don’t know, otherwise, that Crimson Bird incident wouldn’t have caused such a big experimental accident. Now the people of Qianlong might know, but the source of the Sea Abyss Scripture is probably still transmitted by Hu Ya.

But this professor from Nanjiang University also knew.

A university professor who specializes in animals, a professor who is extremely familiar with the curiosities from Mountain and River Scripture, Sea Abyss Scripture, which are not of this world, his twenty years of painstaking research touched Lin Xiaosu deeply...

"Are you really willing to share your twenty years of research with me?" asked Lin Xiaosu.

"A bit unbelievable?" Xiang Yixiu said with a smile.

"It’s hard for people to believe," Lin Xiaosu responded realistically.

University professors, their status and position are already quite high, one could say they have wealth and status, if they relaxed their principles alongside their belts, probably women would be involved too.

What do they care about?

Probably it’s the research achievements.

Who would willingly share their research findings with others?

Xiang Yixiu lifted his head, his face carrying a smile that wasn’t quite a smile: "In your eyes, what is this research achievement? Glory?"

"Generally, yes!"

Xiang Yixiu nodded lightly: "Yes, it’s glory. The things others don’t understand, I do, the things others are confused about, I can speak comprehensively, when I speak, even government officials have to take notes, all these, are glories... However, is it just glory? No, it is also trouble!"

"Trouble?"

"If it weren’t for this glacier wolf incident, at this time, I should be in Maldives researching birds with my favorite female researcher, it’s just because I’m the only one researching these exotic matters, thus, I can only come to this prairie during this cold autumn, don’t you think, for a professor who advocates ’Great Freedom’, isn’t this trouble?"

"Indeed it is!" Lin Xiaosu nodded. "So, you’re willing to share your research findings with me, so next time something happens, you tell the police, ’Don’t bother me with this crap, go find Fengcheng’s detective Lin Xiaosu.’"

"Exactly! Now you understand why I’m being so generous?" Xiang Yixiu brimming with a smile, held the tea cup.

Lin Xiaosu said, "This generosity of yours, I presume it’s not just offered to me alone."
