I was selling peach wood swords on a live stream, how did I become a Taoist ancestor?

Chapter 189 Night Talks and Cultivation

Late at night.

Linggu Cave fell into a deep sleep.

A few occasional barks echoed through the valley, quickly fading into silence.

Yin Jian lay in bed, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep.

He opened his eyes and looked at the moonlight outside the window.

Moonlight streamed through the cracks in the window, drawing thin white lines on the ground.

His mind was filled with the events of the day.

The Taoist priest has arrived.

They gave him a statue.

A statue that caused strange phenomena in Luxian County.

He reached out and touched the box on the bedside table.

turn on.

Under the moonlight, the statues of the Two Immortals of Harmony and Union lay there quietly.

The two immortals wore smiles and had kind eyes.

It was as if she was looking at him.

Yin Jian stared at it for a long time.

Then, he gently closed the lid and put the box back in its place.

He remembered what the Taoist priest had said.

"This statue is indeed somewhat mystical, and it should be of some benefit to you and Lan Nianzhen."

benefit?

What are the benefits?

he does not know.

But what the Taoist priest said must be true.

As he was thinking, there was a gentle knock on the door.

"Yin Jian?"

It was Lan Nianzhen's voice.

Yin Jian was stunned for a moment, then quickly got up, put on his clothes, and opened the door.

Outside the door, Lan Nianzhen was wearing a thin nightgown with an outer garment draped over her shoulders, her hair somewhat disheveled.

The moonlight fell on her face, making her skin appear fair and her eyes clear.

"Nianzhen? What brings you here?"

Yin Jian was somewhat surprised.

Lan Nianzhen looked at him with a slight smile on her face.

"I can't sleep, so I wanted to come and talk to you."

Yin Jian stepped aside to let her in.

Lan Nianzhen walked into the room, her gaze falling on the box on the bedside table.

"What is that?"

Yin Jian walked over, picked up the box, and handed it to her.

"Open it and take a look."

Lan Nianzhen took it and opened the box.

Under the moonlight, the wooden sculpture came into view.

Two immortals, each holding a lotus flower and a round box, stood side by side with smiles on their faces.

"Did the Taoist priest give this to you?"

Lan Nianzhen looked at the wooden sculpture with curiosity in her eyes.

Yin Jian nodded.

"Yes, the Taoist priest carved it himself."

He paused.

"Nianzhen, do you remember that news from Luxian County a couple of days ago?"

Lan Nianzhen was stunned for a moment.

Then, she looked up at Yin Jian.

His voice trembled slightly.

"This...it can't be that..."

Yin Jian nodded.

"Yes, that's the one."

Lan Nianzhen took a deep breath, lowered her head again, and looked at the wooden sculpture.

She was aware of the strange phenomena in Lu County, of course.

Seven-colored auspicious clouds appeared, and the two immortals of harmony and union manifested, bowing their heads in worship...

And at this moment, the source of that strange phenomenon was in her hands.

"Yin Jian," she said softly.

"Um?"

"The Taoist priest... he's so good to you."

Yin Jian smiled.

"That's right."

"I grew up with the Taoist priest; he's like an older brother to me."

Lan Nianzhen looked at him with a hint of envy in her eyes.

"very nice."

She put the wood carving back into the box and closed the lid.

Then, she looked at the box and suddenly spoke.

"Yin Jian, do you think... this wood carving possesses any supernatural power?"

Yin Jian thought for a moment.

"I don't know either."

"But the Taoist priest said it should be good for us."

Lan Nianzhen nodded.

She reached out, picked up the box, and placed it between the two of them.

"Then...shall we take a look?"

Yin Jian was stunned for a moment.

"Now?"

"Now."

Lan Nianzhen looked at him with a hint of expectation in her eyes.

Yin Jian thought for a moment and nodded.

The two sat facing each other on the bed, staring at the box.

Moonlight streamed in through the window and fell on the box.

The box lay there quietly.

There was no movement.

One minute.

Two minutes.

five minutes.

Yin Jian scratched his head.

"It seems... there's no reaction?"

Lan Nianzhen also frowned.

"Wait a little longer."

Five more minutes passed.

Still no response.

Yin Jian was somewhat disappointed.

"Could it be that the Taoist priest made a mistake?"

The voice just fell.

hum!

A very faint buzzing sound came from inside the box.

Both of them were startled and looked at the box.

The lid of the box was trembling slightly.

Click to begin the wondrous journey of "Selling Peach Wood Swords via Livestream: How Did I Become a Taoist Ancestor?"

Then, a very faint ray of light shone through the gap in the lid.

The light was very faint.

A pale gold color.

It carries a touch of warmth.

Yin Jian and Lan Nianzhen exchanged a glance, both seeing the shock in each other's eyes.

"Open it," Lan Nianzhen said softly.

Yin Jian took a deep breath, reached out, and opened the box.

The light instantly became brighter.

The wooden sculpture is glowing.

A faint golden light emanated from the wood carving, enveloping the entire room.

The light was warm and gentle, and when it shone on you, it brought a sense of peace to your heart.

Just like...

It's like being gently hugged.

Yin Jian was stunned.

Lan Nianzhen was also stunned.

The two of them just stared at the glowing wooden sculpture, unable to utter a single word.

The light lasted for about ten seconds.

Then, it began to slowly recede.

But the unusual activity of the wood carving did not stop.

Extremely subtle energy fluctuations emanated from the wood carving, permeating the room.

The energy was gentle, as if it carried a special rhythm.

Surrounded by the light, Yin Jian and Lan Nianzhen felt completely comfortable.

It's like soaking in warm water.

Every pore is greedily absorbing this energy.

Lan Nianzhen was the first to sense the change.

The Gu worms that were intertwined with her life force on her body all became extremely docile at this moment.

No, it's not about being well-behaved.

Yes……

lazy.

Yes, I'm lazy.

It's like that kind of laziness you feel after you've eaten and drunk your fill, when you don't want to move.

The worms were all curled up in their respective acupoints, motionless.

The worms were all curled up in their respective acupoints, motionless.

But Lan Nianzhen could sense that their state was undergoing some kind of change.

A change that is moving in a better direction.

This is……

Signs of advancement?

Lan Nianzhen was shocked.

She became the Holy Maiden of the Gu lineage not because she was the mother of the chief of the main cave, but because of her own strength. At her level, it was extremely difficult for Gu worms that cultivated life and death to advance further.

But now, after absorbing the energy emitted by this wood carving for only a moment, they actually show signs of advancing?

Lan Nianzhen looked at the wooden sculpture, her eyes filled with shock.

At that moment, Yin Jian also sensed the change.

Within the body, a force is slowly flowing along the meridians.

With each rotation, it grows stronger.

hum!

A faint stream of air condensed and took shape in the dantian.

Yin Jian stood there, stunned.

He has been practicing the cultivation method published by the Night's Watch for some time now.

But there has been no progress.

But now...

How come this technique is operating on its own?

How did you manage to cultivate this energy?

Yin Jian stared at the wooden sculpture, completely dumbfounded.

Lan Nianzhen looked at him.

"You felt it too?"

Yin Jian nodded.

"I have refined my first Qi."

Lan Nianzhen took a deep breath.

She looked at the wooden sculpture with awe in her eyes.

The things the Taoist priest gave me...

This is hardly a wood carving.

This is a priceless treasure!

"Yin Jian," she said softly.

"Um?"

"Let's... cultivate."

Yin Jian nodded.

The two exchanged a glance, then simultaneously closed their eyes, sat cross-legged, and began their cultivation.

Inside the room, the wood carving still emitted a faint golden glow.

The light and energy surrounded the two of them, slowly seeping into their bodies.

Time passed, second by second.

……

at the same time.

In Li Jun's room.

He lay on the bed with his eyes closed.

But he didn't sleep; instead, he dispersed his divine senses.

He clearly sensed everything that happened on Yin Jian's side.

The wood carving glows.

Energy dissipation.

Lan Nianzhen's Gu worms are acting strangely.

Yin Jian's cultivation technique operated on its own, refining the first strand of Qi.

Everything is crystal clear.

Li Jun opened his eyes.

He stared at the ceiling, his brow furrowed slightly.

The changes in the wood carving were not quite what he had expected.

He had originally thought that the wood carving would have an even more magical effect.

But now...

Just to aid in cultivation?

While its effect on aiding cultivation is not bad, it seems somewhat inadequate compared to the extraordinary phenomenon of attracting the appearance and worship of the Two Immortals of Harmony.

Is it...

The true wonder of this wood carving has not yet been revealed.

Li Jun seemed to be deep in thought.

Perhaps, the wood carving will only reveal its true effect after Yin Jian and Lan Nianzhen's engagement is over, or after they get married?

With that thought in mind, he withdrew his divine sense and stopped paying attention to Yin Jian.
