Refining the Mountains and Rivers

Chapter 1247 – Lost Garden

…

Qin Yu glanced over the Spring Master from the corner of his eyes. His eyebrows stretched out a little as his thoughts turned. He felt as if he could sense what was coming next. He bowed and said, “This disciple respectfully listens!”

The Spring Master coughed, “When the vast brightness world first formed, myriad races coexisted and competed together, fighting for living space in this world through dark and brutal tragic battles. In the vast brightness world of that era, there were no Rulers and no Saint’s Path. The actual masters of the world could be called the formidable life forms that were bred and born when the world first condensed.

“They are the true favored children of the world. They were born with formidable strength when they were born. That is genuine strength. I once felt them a little, and the most peak existences among them could be compared with the Rulers of today. But as they were born of the vast brightness, they were also defeated by the vast brightness. These life forms were too strong and their natural dispositions were affected by their cruelty and bloodthirst. This gradually extended down, affecting the continuing of the myriad races until they were eventually eliminated by the endless river of time.”

The Spring Master continued, “Those that are alive do not wish to reach the end of their existence. These powerful life forms should have tried resisting once. No one is willing to accept being eliminated and swept into the abyss. At the same time, they also made other preparations to deal with results they could not have expected.

“Facts prove that the resistance of these ancient life forms failed. In truth, this is normal. No one can contend with the world. This was the summary of their life and also serves as a reminder to you. Qin Yu, no matter what future you will arrive at, you must firmly keep in your mind a certain degree of awe towards the world.”

After seeing Qin Yu nod, the Spring Master knocked on the table. “I’ve finished telling the story, so let's get to the main subject. The soup I wanted you to share in is exactly one of these other preparations that those ancient life forms arranged. We call it…the Lost Garden.

“It is like a piece of the world that has been forgotten by time, and it has maintained an environment similar to the beginning of the world. This is one of the final efforts that these ancient life forms created in order to help the bloodline continuation of their descendants. Perhaps they already expected that their decline was inevitable, thus they built the Lost Garden.

“Your elder senior-apprentice brother, third senior-apprentice brother, and eighth senior-apprentice sister have brought Azure Dragon with them and gone ahead first. To avoid you having any trouble in entering the Lost Garden, I have made other arrangements.”

Qin Yu cautiously said, “Am I not going with the senior-apprentice brothers and sisters?” Disregarding Lei Xiaoyu, he knew that his elder senior-apprentice brother and third senior-apprentice brother were fierce. In particular, his elder senior-apprentice brother. If he stayed by his side he would feel much safer!

The Spring Master’s eyelids twitched and he gave Qin Yu another label. In addition to the few mentioned above, he was thick-skinned and flexible enough, not stuck in traditions at all. If he could find a backer, he would find a backer. People that could think like this usually lived a long time. This could also be regarded…as something good.

“At this time, only your elder senior-apprentice brother knows about you entering the Lost Garden. Don’t expose yourself unless it is a last resort. When you go, make sure you keep a low profile. Take what you can, take what you need, and then leave as soon as possible. Do you understand my meaning?”

Qin Yu nodded with effort.

There was nothing he could do about it; there were too many potential enemies. He had no idea how many people resented him and would attack him. There was also the terrifying Scholartree Saint.

Moreover, the Spring Master didn’t mention something. Since the Spring Master sent his elder senior-apprentice brother to the Lost Garden, this indicated just how dangerous that place actually was.

From this, it could be seen that other influences which were qualified to know about the existence of the Lost Garden must have sent out top figures from their respective sects.

If Qin Yu came into conflict with them, it would be difficult to conceal himself. And once he exposed himself…gathering light and darkness, space and time into one body was enough to cause many people to go crazy. Even though he had the status of the Peach Garden’s son-in-law, that might not be enough to force these people to hold themselves back.

One didn’t suffer a loss from listening to the elderly. He had to maintain a low profile when he mixed his way in!

Seeing the earnestness in Qin Yu’s expression as if he had taken this warning to heart, the Spring Master nodded. He tossed out a jade slip, “There is some information about the Lost Garden recorded here, as well as some arrangements I made. Don’t blow yourself up after you leave.”

When Qin Yu received it, the Spring Master waved his hand and his field of vision flashed black. He thought, did the Spring Master need to show off his skills after being mentally depressed by his own disciple? Was it really that difficult to accept?

Shua –

When Qin Yu’s vision was restored, what appeared in front of him was a portal. It wasn’t the same as Peachy’s. It was far too shabby and the woven peach branches looked much more immature and tiny.

Sure enough, he only had one daughter. This kind of different treatment…tsk tsk, the Spring Master didn’t even bother concealing his bias.

Qin Yu probed the jade slip with his divine sense. After memorizing everything, his fingers clenched and shattered it. As he did this, his appearance changed. He stretched out his hands and feet and then stepped into the portal.

Mm…the following transmission process was really much, much worse. It was far from being comparable to how calm and steady Peachy’s portal was.

After swaying for a bit, when light bloomed, Qin Yu subconsciously squinted his eyes and raised his hands to block the light. At this moment, an indifferent voice resounded in his ears, “Tell your family’s ancestors that from here on out, the favor owed to them in the past has been written off!”

…

As the eldest disciple of Half-Saint Dragon Mountain, it had been many years since Flatrock suffered this sort of loss. The Lost Garden was about to open, and because they found a mountain boring beast in their sect, they also had the qualifications to enter.

However, the mountain boring beast’s bloodline wasn’t strong enough and the number of people it could bring was limited. Half-Saint Dragon Mountain gave up two spots as favors, and so in the end there were only three spots left for their Holy Land.

Although he was the eldest disciple of a Half-Saint and was normally quite trustworthy, Flatrock always acted in a calm and thoughtful manner. His master always scolded him and said he was a good-for-nothing, but he was actually very fond of this son of his.

One of these three spots had to be given to Dragon Peak. This was something that Half-Saint Dragon Mountain desired. Flatrock begged and pleaded for him not to, but in the end he had no choice.

The second spot was naturally his. As a peak powerhouse below the Saint boundary, this was a matter of course, so he took it calmly.

After all, there were too many dangers in the Lost Garden. In a situation where Saints could not interfere, he provided the maximum degree of safety.

The final spot was promised to a junior-apprentice sister by Flatrock. Although she hadn’t been in the sect for long and was aloof and difficult to approach, she was actually warm and gentle to Flatrock in private. One time, after a jaunt in bed together, as he held her smooth body in his arms he couldn’t resist her entreaty and agreed.

Originally, everything was settled. But who would have thought that Half-Saint Dragon Mountain would suddenly interfere and take away the third spot that he promised to his junior-apprentice sister?

Flatrock was furious but he didn’t dare to say a single word. He spent a great deal of effort, but wasn’t able to make his junior-apprentice sister happy. After eating a kick between the legs, the two broke it off.

Since he didn’t dare to vent his anger on a Saint, nor could he do it on the son of a Saint, he could only release it on this kid who came out of nowhere!

…

Flatrock kept his temper reigned in. After quietly asking around and receiving information from all parties, he sneered inwardly.

Some family that had long since fallen into decline had redeemed a favor owed to them by a Saint from long ago to receive this spot. It was said that the Saint wasn’t happy about this either…if so, there was nothing to worry about!

Just how dangerous was the Lost Garden? Could just anyone go in? If one pushed their way in without qualifications, the most likely ending was that they would lose their life!

So when Qin Yu met this eldest disciple of Half-Saint Dragon Mountain, he found that the man was warm and friendly, as if they were brothers who hadn’t seen each other in many years.

Of course, they weren’t brothers. Since something happened that was out of the ordinary, there was bound to be some hidden agenda. Qin Yu put on an expression full of panic and gratitude, displaying his flawless acting skills.

After all, the more he experienced, the more he discovered that acting skills were important. They could even save his life at times.

It wasn’t difficult to pretend to be a snake or something. It didn’t matter much right now. In any case, once he entered the Lost Garden, he could find a chance to leave on his own.

He couldn’t help but acknowledge how incredible the Spring Master’s camouflage technique was. Even when he stood in front of Half-Saint Dragon Mountain, the Saint hadn’t sensed anything wrong. Qin Yu relaxed. As long as he could overcome this wave, the chances of him being discovered were low.

After staying for two days, he calculated it and thought that elder senior-apprentice brother and the others should have embarked long ago. Just when Qin Yu began to mutter beneath his breath, the people from the Dragon Mountain Holy Land finally decided to leave.

Including Qin Yu, there were five people and one beast.

The five people were all burdens and the beast was the protagonist. Qin Yu remembered all the contents of the jade slip so he was naturally aware of this.

Lost Garden. This was a name given to it by the cultivators of today, but the fact was that this place was prepared by powerful life forms from ancient times to help the continuation of their bloodline. Only those who received bloodline approval were allowed to enter.

What a pity, this final inheritance was destined to be carved up by others. What the descendants of those ancient life forms could obtain in the end was actually just an extremely small portion.

Of course, it was also possible that the extinct ancient life forms had already expected this, otherwise they wouldn’t have left behind a loophole where their bloodline descendants could bring others in.

To go bankrupt to avoid disasters and protect the future generations, it was probably like this!
