"Why can't I come? How come you're now famous all over the world, do I need to send a card in advance just to meet you?"

With a teasing remark, the person familiarly entered the yard, and without any hesitation, reached out and picked up the Yun Ti grapes from the bowl beside Qi Xiu, taking a bite of seven or eight.

Looking at the old acquaintance who suddenly appeared, Qi Xiu's gaze was calm. After a moment of silence, he gestured to the maid Qingyi to leave.

"You always come to me when there's something going on.

This time you came to find me, surely it's not just to eat a few bunches of my grapes, Daoist Qingya." Pushing the bowl filled with Yun Ti grapes forward, Qi Xiu bluntly revealed the visitor's identity.

Sensing a hint of dissatisfaction in Qi Xiu's words, Daoist Qingya chuckled and wiped the moisture from the corner of his mouth with his sleeve:

"In the battle of Nanyue, True Monarch Qi is truly renowned, I'm here to offer my congratulations."

"Enough with that, do we need to be so secretive between us?"

Naturally, Qi Xiu didn't believe the casual excuse Daoist Qingya gave. Qi Xiu pinched a spell with one hand, and instantly, the entire courtyard was filled with shining golden light, the aura surged.

Billion of Suppressing Talismans floated in this small courtyard of less than thirty square meters, filling every inch of cramped space.

The overwhelming, boundless suppressing power surged like an ocean.

"Your talismanic techniques have improved." Looking at the endless, dense Suppressing Talismans around, Daoist Qingya was not angry but pleased, and his eyes shone with a hint of admiration as he looked at Qi Xiu.

"Alright, it seems today I can't leave without explaining things clearly."

Shaking his large, tattered sleeves, Daoist Qingya sat down casually, then gestured for Qi Xiu to sit as well, not to be so serious.

"Actually, I came to see you today for only one matter."

"What matter?" Taking a deep breath, Qi Xiu asked.

"It's not a big deal." Daoist Qingya chuckled lightly, while slowly picking a Yun Ti grape, he looked up at Qi Xiu:

"I want you to leave the Shenxiao Sect and establish your own sect."

"What did you say?"

Upon hearing this, Qi Xiu furrowed his brows and looked inexplicably at Daoist Qingya opposite him.

He even wondered if he heard it wrong.

"You appeared out of nowhere, just to make me leave Shenxiao Sect, have you been drinking too much?"

Regarding Daoist Qingya, Qi Xiu has always been conflicted yet respectful, although the time he's spent with Daoist Qingya doesn't add up to a month.

But in his over a hundred years of cultivation, his presence has always been there, silently assisting from behind, paving the way and removing obstacles.

Essentially, he's very grateful to this incredibly mysterious Daoist.

However, from another perspective, his life's path has always been influenced, and especially facing crucial choices, this Daoist's figure appears more frequently.

This feeling of being watched and controlled makes Qi Xiu have an inexplicable resistance.

Now hearing that Daoist Qingya wants him to leave Shenxiao Sect.

This accumulated displeasure and resistance reached its peak!

After all, since he started cultivating, Shenxiao Sect has provided him the most help and protection, whether it's his master Daoist Yunxiong, or all the Yun Generation Elders, especially the Supreme Sect Leader Dongfang Qing, they've all been good friends and mentors.

If it weren't for their support, he would never have such achievements today.

Now with the Calamity upon them, during this time of crisis, for any reason, he could not abandon Shenxiao Sect.

This is principle, and also his true heart!

As if he already anticipated Qi Xiu's reaction, Daoist Qingya calmly ingested the Yun Ti grapes before calmly saying:

"You, young one, your cultivation is not mature enough.

A seeker of Dao strives for immortality, and anything external can be forsaken.

You are so committed to others, and neglect yourself, how can you achieve the supreme Dao?"

Frowning further, Qi Xiu deeply stared at Daoist Qingya in front of him, slowly sitting up straight.

"Qi seeks not only immortality but also truth."

These words caused Daoist Qingya to pause, unexpectedly examining the young Daoist in front of him, the deep satisfaction and gratification in his eyes growing ever stronger.

"Good."

Dropping the Yun Ti in his hand, Daoist Qingya quietly watched Qi Xiu for a while, looking as if he was reading the young Daoist's mind, then he revealed a smile:

"For you to say this, it's worth the years I spent running around for you."

"To be honest, I'm here deliberately to see you, asking you to leave Shenxiao Sect, not to break faith and seek peace."

"But if you don't leave soon, Shenxiao Sect might be in trouble."

"What do you mean?"

"You better take a look at this first."

With a wave of his wide sleeve, Daoist Qingya saw a Mystic Light Mirror emerge out of thin air, the glass like surface was embedded with a Treasure Bead in each direction, radiating soft light.

"Is this the Small Wheel Three-Phases Transformation Skill?"

With a glance, Qi Xiu immediately recognized the origin of this secret technique displayed by Daoist Qingya.

Previously during an accidental entry into the Great Tang Dynasty, he relied on Song Baiyi's connections to gather a large number of ancient books and secret classics, these books contain abundant posthumous mysteries, enriching his knowledge substantially.

The Small Wheel Three-Phases Transformation Skill is an extraordinary technique.

Once deployed, it can reveal all scenes between heaven and earth, any mental image desired.
