Chapter 351: Receiving New Techniques (II)
Li Yuanping leaned over to read the manual, initially joyful until he noticed a small note in ink at the end. Their expressions suddenly changed. Li Yuanjiao narrowed his eyes as he said, "Recorded by Cui Mu from Zhaoyuan Immortal Mansion from Wei State of Central Plain? This is a legacy from Zhaoyuan Immortal Mansion from Wei State of Central Plain?!"
"Wei State?" Li Yuanping echoed, puzzled.
"I've heard of the northern powers like Yan State and Zhao State, but I've never heard of Wei State... let alone this Zhaoyuan Immortal Mansion. There's actually an immortal sect in the north..?"
Li Yuanjiao carefully placed the wooden slip on the desk. His heart was racing as he murmured, "Maybe this Wei State is an ancient territory from centuries past… That would explain why we've never heard of it. Seven hundred years ago when Buddhism was still confined to Mobei, Daoist sects dominated the Central Plain. There were reportedly over 172 states, Wei could have been one of them. If that's true, then it makes sense for immortal sects to exist in the Wei State…"
Li Yuanjiao had gotten this information from Xiao Guiluan. After all, the Xiao Family was an ancient immortal family with ancestors who hailed from the north. Naturally, they were more knowledgeable about the history of the north; in fact, they even had a few northern Dao techniques in their possession.
However, Xiao Guiluan was a concubine-born daughter of the direct lineage, with a status akin to those in the major sect of the Li Family. Now that she had been married into the Li Family, it was even more challenging for her to obtain such information.
Li Yuanjiao could barely contain his excitement while Li Yuanping was slightly taken aback by the revelation. He quickly connected the dots and said in a serious tone, "So… you mean to say that techniques similar to this nature might have already been lost? Doesn't that mean..."
Before Li Yuanping could finish his sentence by saying "Doesn't that mean we'll have a smooth ride ahead", he was interrupted by Li Yuanjiao's sigh.
"Let's not rush to conclusions. We should verify if there's indeed still an immortal sect active up in the north…" Li Yuanjiao said firmly.
