One Hundred and Fourteen Liu Zhenguang's Doubts

  Bai Yu heard from Liu Zheng Guang that it was his residence, but he didn't expect it would be a five-star hotel.

  Bai Yu had never actually stayed in a five-star hotel before, and hadn't even set foot in one. After all, he used to be just an ordinary clerk, and the money he earned, aside from sending some back home, was already enough for his daily expenses and some extra spending. It would have been strange if he had come back to such a place.

  At this moment, he suddenly felt that he had become a country bumpkin, looking around at the surroundings with an expression of surprise on his face.

  A manager of the hotel, a middle-aged man with a big belly, seemed to be very familiar with Liu Zhen Guang. He was inspecting the work on this floor and saw Liu Zhen Guang, his eyes lit up immediately, and he walked towards him with a smile on his face. As he approached Bai Yu and Liu Zhen Guang, he said with a smile: "Master Liu, you've arrived! I'll arrange a room for you right away. Actually, I've been keeping this room for you all along, I knew you'd come during this time period, so I didn't dare let anyone else stay in it."

  Liu Zhenguang also nodded with a smile: "Then thank you, Manager Wang. However, today you need to prepare an extra room. I've brought a fellow practitioner with me, and his skills are even greater than mine. If you can arrange for him properly, who knows, maybe he'll be useful in the future." As he spoke, Liu Zhenguang pulled Bai Yu forward.

  Manager Wang's eyes lit up at first, but then he hesitated after taking a closer look at Bai Yu's appearance. In Manager Wang's impression, the fellow practitioner Liu Zhenguang mentioned should be an older person due to his age, but seeing how young Bai Yu was, he was shocked instead. This image completely overturned what he had in mind.

  However, people like Manager Wang are good at disguising their true thoughts, so the expression on his face recovered in the blink of an eye. He stretched out his hand to Bai Yu and smiled: "Nice to meet you, Master."

  Bai Yu politely shook hands with him and nodded towards him, but didn't say a word.

  It wasn't hard for Bai Yu to notice the fleeting expression on Wang's face just now, but he didn't pay much attention to it, nor would he deliberately show enthusiasm.

  Manager Wang somewhat awkwardly withdrew his hand, then shifted his gaze to Liu Zhengguang. He said: "Master, rest assured, I will immediately arrange for this room." After finishing speaking, he turned around and hurried off to make arrangements, presumably to prepare the room.

  Liu Zhen Guang looked at the back of Wang's manager as he left. At this time, however, he shook his head and said to Bai Yu: "This person doesn't have much time left to live."

  Bai Yu was shocked and asked in surprise: "What's going on?"

  Liu Zhenguang said, "This Manager Wang is someone I met two years ago. At that time, I was also attending this seminar and staying at this hotel. That's when I discovered him. His facial features were dull, and his eyes revealed a sinister aura. I have a habit of doing fortune-telling for people I'm interested in, so I did one for him. Suddenly, he shook his head and smiled wryly, "But I didn't expect that at the time, I actually predicted that this person would suffer from evil karma due to his many misdeeds. He would encounter a disaster within days. However, this person is also a filial son who treats his parents with kindness. So, at the time, I took pity on him and gave him some advice. Initially, he didn't believe me, but after almost dying in a car accident, he finally believed me. He still remembers the favor I did for him and shows great respect towards me to this day."

  At this time, Liu Zhenguang sighed again and said: "However, he can't escape the consequences of his actions. Within a year, he will have to pay for all the karma he has accumulated in this life. He can only compensate with his own life."

  Bai Yu nodded blankly, finally understanding why Manager Wang had such an attitude towards Liu Zhen Guang. But then he looked puzzled and said: "Aren't we cultivators not supposed to casually interfere with this kind of thing? Isn't it said that getting involved in these kinds of events might lead to being entangled by cause and effect?"

  Liu Zhenguang smiled and said, "Indeed it is. However, although we can't interfere, giving a slight hint shouldn't be a big deal. In the end, whether it succeeds or not depends on that person's luck."

  Bai Yu heard this and finally nodded slightly, saying: "So it can be like that."

  Just as the two were discussing this, Manager Wang also rushed back. He smiled and said to the two: "Two masters, the room is ready, follow me." Then he turned around and led the way.

  Manager Wang took the two upstairs and found two adjacent rooms for them to stay in. Bai Yu entered the room and saw the high-end configuration inside, nodding repeatedly. He felt that this presidential suite was indeed much better than his doghouse.

  Of course, this is nonsense and no longer needs to be taken seriously.

  He first took a bath and then entered his bedroom. Although he couldn't sleep now, he still had to cultivate naturally and couldn't fall behind.

  He sat cross-legged on the bed, gradually entering a meditative state, his mind and spirit sinking into his lower abdomen.

  After so many days of hard work, the Dantian in his body had undergone a great change. At this time, his Fa power was as thick and sticky as yours, but it was crystal clear and translucent like jade crystal, emitting a dazzling brilliance that was very beautiful.

  This lump of spiritual energy was too sticky, its shape was not satisfactory at all, it can be said that it was completely irregular. Bai Yu is now eager to see the spiritual energy condense into an inner elixir. He then entered his consciousness space without hesitation, and skillfully extracted the spiritual energy to form a tactile shape, which seemed to be aimed at those golden characters, and started to strike them. As he struck, wave after wave of silent vibrations gradually spread out, slowly solidifying his cultivation and foundation.

  As his cultivation time flew by, it gradually reached the depths of night. Bai Yu's consciousness, somewhat fatigued from his self-cultivation, slowly awakened. He let out a long, murky breath and stretched lazily before sinking heavily into sleep.

  For Bai Yu, who was about to reach the realm of a grandmaster, it only took a few hours of sleep to fully replenish his spirit. By the time he woke up the next day, the sky had already brightened, and he got dressed with a refreshed mind.

  Just then, a knock at the door was heard outside. Bai Yu opened the door to find Liu Zhengguang standing outside. Liu Zhengguang smiled and said, "Fellow Taoist, did you sleep well?"

  Bai Yu nodded with a smile and said, "It's much more comfortable sleeping here than at home." Then Bai Yu invited Liu Zhen Guang into the room and asked, "I don't know what brings you here so early, Master Liu?"

  Liu Zhenguang found a place to sit down and said, "This time's Taoist gathering is also about to end, fellow Taoists want to play in the capital for two more days or go back?"

  Bai Yu was somewhat surprised and said: "Are you saying that this gathering has already come to an end? This gathering only lasted for one day?"

  Liu Zhenguang shook his head and smiled wryly, "Of course, what did you think?" However, he then let out a sigh and said, "Actually, at the beginning, this Daoist conference was supposed to last for three days. But as time went on, with the decline of talents, every Daoist has become empty-handed, with nothing to learn from each other. That's why we changed it from three days to one day."

  Upon hearing this, he nodded slightly as if suddenly enlightened and asked: "But I wonder how often such a discussion on the Tao is usually held?"

  Liu Zhenguang sank into thought for a moment, then said: "It's held once every three years. Every three years at this time is when the Taoist conference is held, but as time goes on I don't know if this event will change or not."

  Bai Yu nodded and said: "I don't know, who would have brought up this theory of Tao. As far as I know, the distinction between schools in the past was very strict."

  Liu Zhenguang said, "This is naturally decided by the leaders of each sect after discussion. The main purpose of holding such a seminar is still to adapt to the times. Now and in the past are different. If the major sects still close their doors and make carts now, they can only make the already declining cultivation world even more decline."

  Bai Yu knew this principle, but the current cultivation world is lacking in classics and the loss of heaven and earth's primordial energy. The decline seems to be an inevitable fate, but with this discussion on the Dao, it will be different. It can slightly make up for the lack of classics, although there are things like heaven and earth's primordial energy that cannot be recovered by human effort.

  Bai Yu thought of this and couldn't help but secretly admire the leader of this sect.

  He then smiled at Liu Zhengguang and said, "Liu Daozhang, since the matter of this debate has been settled, I won't linger here any longer. Now I still have to hurry back to my place, quietly close up for a while, as my cultivation has reached a critical moment. Moreover, with some free time, I might as well go to the Quanzhen Sect to borrow a few classics and take a look."

  Liu Zhenguang heard this and chuckled, saying: "It seems that you are really suitable for cultivating the Tao. Your enthusiasm for the Tao is something that ordinary people can't compare to." Just then Liu Zhenguang suddenly fell silent for a moment, saying: "Actually, I have one thing that I don't understand. I shouldn't ask, but this has been itching at my heart..."

  Bai Yu looked at Liu Zhen Guang with some surprise, suddenly discovering that the face of this normally calm person was slightly flushed. Bai Yu felt somewhat stunned, but also unclear: "Liu Dao Zhang, I don't know what's going on?"

  Liu Zhenguang fell silent for a moment before speaking: "To be honest, when I first saw you, I tried to read your face, but what's strange is that I couldn't calculate anything. Your facial features are very vague, yet your origins seem extremely complex. After calculating for a while, my head was spinning, and in the end, I didn't have any leads."

  Bai Yu was initially surprised, but later felt a sense of clarity. This was because he had the system, and although he didn't understand its origins, seeing all sorts of things within it, including divine artifacts used by gods, made him realize that it wasn't an ordinary object. As a mortal, Liu Zhenguang couldn't possibly fathom the fate of Bai Yu, who possessed the system.
