Chapter 707: Chapter 769: Heart of the Dao Chapter 707: Chapter 769: Heart of the Dao Chapter Seven Hundred Sixty-Nine
“What are you doing?” Long Xiaoshan bellowed.
An invisible pressure, heavy like a mountain, pinned Tang Yan down on the seat, making it difficult for her to breathe and revealing a trace of panic in her eyes.
Long Xiaoshan wiped the corner of his mouth.
Tang Yan had been too forceful, even causing his lips to bleed a little.
This infuriated him immensely.
“Mast…
Master, I’m, I’m sorry,” stammered Tang Yan, shrinking down, quivering like a quail.
...
“Shut up!” Long Xiaoshan growled lowly.
Tang Yan trembled violently.
When Long Xiaoshan became angry, it was not something the powerless Tang Yan could withstand.
The air seemed to freeze over, and Tang Yan’s face turned almost transparent; her breathing became fainter and fainter.
The anger in Long Xiaoshan’s eyes slowly subsided as he retracted the oppressive force, yet his gaze remained cold as ever.
After the pressure lifted,
Tang Yan’s complexion finally showed some improvement.
She felt as though she had almost suffocated just now, even seeing hallucinations before her eyes.

But looking at Long Xiaoshan again, she dared not display the slightest arrogance.
“Do you truly wish to become my disciple?” Long Xiaoshan suddenly asked indifferently.
Tang Yan’s eyes lit up.
She had lost all hope just moments before, but Long Xiaoshan’s words rekindled a ray of hope within her.
She hurriedly replied, “Yes, yes, Master Long, I truly wish to be your disciple.”
“Is that so?”
Long Xiaoshan said calmly, his voice as if coming from the heavens above, “Your father has not taught you the Martial Dao because he knew you lacked a heart that strives for the path.
The Martial Dao is arduous.
Without a sincere heart, how can one seek the path?
You wish to become my disciple merely because you have suffered grievances, been humiliated and overlooked, so you want to learn martial arts and spells to slap them in the face.
Search your heart and ask yourself, can you really persist?
Do you truly have an unyielding heart, one that cannot be steamed, boiled, beaten flat, or burst apart on the journey to the Dao?”
“I…”
“Lift your head and look into my eyes!”
Tang Yan subconsciously lifted her head to meet a pair of emotionless eyes, within which blazed golden flames, as if they belonged to a god or Buddha from high above, looking down upon the mortals.
In that moment, Tang Yan felt like a mere mortal, kneeling before the gods, seeking wisdom from the divine.
In front of her was a towering figure, as majestic as the heavens and earth.
She shivered from the cold.
Feeling all her innermost being laid bare under his gaze.
Yet the words “I have” simply would not come out.
The golden flames in Long Xiaoshan’s eyes gradually dispersed.
He sighed and said, “Drive.”
“Grandmaster, I…” Tang Yan’s eyes flickered with a hint of shame for her cowardice just now.
“No need to speak further.
Once you have figured it out for yourself, then tell me,” Long Xiaoshan said indifferently.
“Yes, Grandmaster!”
Tang Yan replied respectfully.
Gone was the flippancy of before.
She restarted the car and drove up the mountain.
After more than ten minutes, the car arrived at the summit of Tiandu Mountain.
An ancient manor appeared before Long Xiaoshan, grand and impressive, exuding a magnificent aura.
Long Xiaoshan got out of the car, took a deep breath, and a flash of light sparked in his eyes.
The Feng Shui of Tiandu Mountain was several times better than that of his Wanlong Mountain.
Even Yanxia Lake could not compare.
“`
The Tang Family’s hold over this area truly makes them the number-one noble family in Xichuan.
Of course, now that Wanlong Mountain has been arranged with a Spirit Gathering Array by her, collecting geomantic energy, in terms of cultivation environment, it has already surpassed Tiandu Mountain.
This is the power of a formation, turning the rotten into the miraculous.
“Master Long, this way, please.” At this moment, Tang Yan was respectful as if she had become a devout follower of Long Xiaoshan.
The words Long Xiaoshan had just spoken were earth-shattering.
Although they weren’t enough to cause Tang Yan to undergo a complete transformation, they had surely shaken and cleansed her spirit.
She had shed some of her impatience.
Walking with his hands behind his back, led by Tang Yan, Long Xiaoshan entered the Tang Family Manor.
With a sweep of his Divine Sense, he noticed a large gathering of martial artists.
It was rare to see a common Inner Strength Martial Artist, just as in Hechuan City, where martial artists were few and far between, one Late Yellow Stage Martial Artist was enough to suppress an ordinary Earth Level city.
Yu Cheng was almost able to make all the top figures in Hechuan bow their heads, until he came forward to turn the tide.
And now.
With a sweep of his Divine Sense, not to mention Huang Level Martial Artists, there were dozens of Mysterious Rank Warriors.
Truly, as the saying goes, “Huang Level Martial Artists are as common as dogs, Mysterious Rank Warriors roam everywhere.”
Unless one is part of the circle, they would never know how vast it is.
This Elixir Pills competition has the Tang Family bringing out the Hundred Spirits Grass, attracting many lofty individuals.
People have traveled thousands of miles from the northeastern SX region and snow-SD coastal areas.
These people came not just for the Hundred Spirits Grass.
But for the alchemists attracted by the Elixir Pills competition.
After all, alchemists are rarely seen in ordinary times.
Now that they have gathered at the Tang Family Manor, many come seeking elixirs and medicines, while others bring their younger generation to partake in the martial artists’ gathering, exchanging martial dao insights and broadening their knowledge.
Such a large-scale gathering is rarely seen even within the Hidden Sects.
People of the Secret Sects usually cultivate in seclusion and rarely have opportunities to interact with various factions.
With such a rare chance, naturally, they would not miss it.
Especially with the Tang Family fanning the flames.
This Elixir Pills competition is no longer just that; it has become a grand Martial Dao gathering.
Because of the multitude of martial artists.
When Long Xiaoshan and Tang Yan walked in, they didn’t cause the slightest ripple, the pair plainly appeared as the young generation.
Long Xiaoshan’s aura was contained, looking like an ordinary person at usual times, and Tang Yan was indeed an ordinary person, completely without cultivation.
In an occasion filled with martial artists, they naturally went unnoticed.
Long Xiaoshan had deliberately used his True Qi to alter his appearance slightly this time; after dealing with Qiu Zhen in the Southwest Hidden Gates, he likely became known to many.
His primary purpose for coming here was for the Hundred Spirits Grass, and he did not wish to cause a stir.
This alteration of appearance through True Qi made him look similar to others, yet absolutely unrecognizable.
Unless one’s cultivation was higher than his, it would be tough to see through the disguise.
“I’ll call my father first,” said Tang Yan.
Long Xiaoshan nodded.
Tang Yan took out her phone and started dialing.
A moment later, Tang Shengfeng hurried out, and upon seeing Long Xiaoshan, he was somewhat puzzled, feeling that Long Xiaoshan looked a bit unfamiliar, yet upon a closer look, there was no issue.
He bowed and said, “Master Long, you’ve finally arrived.”
Long Xiaoshan waved his hand, “Mr.
Tang, you’re too kind.
When does the competition start?”
“The competition is in the afternoon, today in the morning is the Hidden Sects trading event.
How about I take you around first?
A lot of people have come this time, and maybe there will be some good finds at the trading event.”
“A trading event?” Long Xiaoshan showed a hint of interest.
Following Tang Shengfeng, they arrived at the Tang Family’s training ground.
The Tang Family’s training ground was extremely large, almost the size of a soccer field, and now, it was packed with at least a few hundred people gathered here, and nearly each was an Inner Strength Martial Artist.
Looking around, Long Xiaoshan could already see many stalls.
