Chapter 683 - 67: The Magician Must Give Up Longevity, Whale Hunter Has Met Guan Yi (Seeking Monthly Votes)_2
Li Guanyi handed the bamboo flute to the old man, who took a string of vermilion thread and simply wrapped it around the flute. Although the thread was vermilion, it instantly gave off a golden radiance, dense as talismans, and the old man formed several hand seals.
A gold-colored imprint appeared on the bamboo flute and then faded away.
Wrapped around the green bamboo flute was the vermilion rope, giving it a more lively appearance compared to its previous simplicity. The old Magician’s voice was hoarse as he said, "Let’s call it a form of repayment."
"You returned my disciple’s Cultivation Technique to me, so I left some seals on this bamboo flute... Divine Weapons have their masters, and if you don’t deal with this Divine Weapon in your hands properly, it’s easy for that Qingpao to find you. But now, as long as he doesn’t get close enough to you, it will be difficult for him to detect it."
"Little child, how are your injuries?"
He looked towards Shaking Light, who responded, "They’ve warmed up."
The Magician said, "I’ve been entangled with this Qingpao for a hundred years. He has destroyed everything I had, and I am no match for him, but long illness makes a doctor of a patient. I’ve come to some understanding of his techniques and means, it’s just a matter of mutual restraint."
With a wooden expression, he said, "The illness has been treated, and in this rustic place, I won’t keep you any longer."
Li Guanyi bade farewell and, together with Shaking Light, rode away. After some distance, they looked back and saw the quaint village at dusk, almost enveloped by the sunset, with bursts of frog croaks coming from the pond, both relieving a sigh of relief.
Unexpectedly, they had encountered such a reclusive figure in this village.
