Chapter 561: The Secrets of Thunder Techniques
Li Qinghong followed Shen Yanqing down to a small mountaintop where an old man sat, wearing a broad-brimmed hat and sporting a long, fine white beard. He held a fishing rod, casting it into the sea of clouds below.
Li Qinghong subtly looked away. The Man on Creek was the first Purple Mansion Realm Life Divine Ability that the Li Family had encountered, and it had left a deep impression on her. The sight of the fishing rod made her uneasy, so she avoided looking at it. The old man, however, called out to her.
"Who goes there?"
Shen Yanqing pressed her lips together in a smile, preserving his dignity in front of a guest, and replied, "Senior Lingyanzi, she is a member of the Li Family!"
"Oh!"
Lingyanzi suddenly jumped up, his fishing rod clattering to the ground as he hastily put it away with an awkward expression.
"I thought it might finally be a disciple…"
"Li Qinghong of Mount Qingdu greets the elder," she cupped her fist and said respectfully.
Lingyanzi, now at the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment Realm, raised an eyebrow as he studied her and sighed with regret, "What a pity about Daoist Tongya… I was in seclusion then and could not pay my respects. By the time I emerged, I was unable to leave the sect at will… Truly unfortunate."
