Chapter 619 Soul-Seeking Map!
Repeat?
Method Yu had a strange expression on his face.
“With your abilities, you can definitely get good results again, and then we can go to Beijing University together… what do you think?” Yu Yueyue pulled on Method Yu’s arm, persuading him softly.
If so many things hadn’t happened this year, Method Yu might have really agreed.
After all, he had nothing else to do, and it wouldn’t matter even if he repeated ten times.
But now, Method Yu was facing the important threshold of breaking through the ten thousandth layer of Qi Refinement, and he still had the remnants of Purple Flame Palace waiting for him to deal with…
He could no longer waste time like he had for the past two thousand years.
“Yueyue, for me, going to school is no longer necessary,” Method Yu said. “Besides, if you get into Beijing University, we’ll still have many opportunities to meet.”
“…Really?” Yu Yueyue was initially a bit unhappy, but after hearing Method Yu’s words, her big eyes brightened again.
“I have a home in North Capital, and after I finish handling these matters, I should return to that home to stay for a while,” Method Yu said.
This was Method Yu’s true intention, not a lie.
He hadn’t stayed at his home in North Capital for a long time, and it was time to return.
But the prerequisite was to finish the matters at hand first, otherwise it would be difficult to settle down.
“This time you can’t lie again!” Yu Yueyue pouted and said.
“I won’t. Don’t you trust my character?” Method Yu smiled.
…
After Wang Yan returned, she began preparing lunch.
Yu Yueyue also followed her into the kitchen to help.
By eleven thirty, the mother and daughter had completed a sumptuous feast of eight dishes and one soup.
“Aunt Wang, there are just three of us, we don’t need to eat so much,” Method Yu said, his eyes gleaming as he looked at the table full of dishes.
“You rarely come back, so of course you need to eat well. I was actually planning to make a couple more dishes! But I thought the table might not have enough space, so I gave up,” Wang Yan smiled. “Little Yu, I know you have a big appetite, so these dishes shouldn’t be a problem.”
Method Yu said no more and sat down at the table.
If someone asked what he missed most about Jiangnan after going to Xiang City, it would definitely be Wang Yan’s cooking.
Although Method Yu’s own cooking skills weren’t bad, eating food cooked by oneself was far less delicious than eating home-cooked meals.
“Go ahead and eat,” Wang Yan said.
Method Yu didn’t stand on ceremony anymore and began eating like a whirlwind.
Wang Yan and Yu Yueyue barely touched their chopsticks throughout, just smiling as they watched Method Yu devour the food.
“Little Yu, is the cafeteria food at South Capital University that bad?” Wang Yan asked, looking a bit concerned.
After all, Method Yu’s eating manner was like that of a starving vagrant.
“It’s actually not bad,” Method Yu said.
“By the way, Little Yu, how are your courses at South Capital University? What major do you think would be good for Yueyue when she applies there?” Wang Yan asked as Method Yu was almost finished eating.
Hearing this question, Method Yu didn’t have much reaction, but Yu Yueyue’s face changed.
However, she didn’t show it obviously.
Because she had promised Method Yu not to tell Wang Yan about dropping out.
“The courses are fine, all very simple. As for Yueyue, it’s too early to consider university majors. She should focus on her high school studies first,” Method Yu said.
“Mm,” Wang Yan nodded.
…
Baotian City, the northernmost city in Jiangnan.
It was noon, and the sun was high in the sky.
In front of a stone statue of a teacher in the city park stood two men.
These two men were dressed in casual clothes and wearing sunglasses, looking like ordinary tourists.
But at this time, most people were having lunch, and there were very few tourists in the park.
Even fewer were like these two men, standing directly under the blazing sun.
At this moment, one of the men was holding a tattered piece of parchment.
“Senior Brother Zhengyun, shall we begin the second soul tracking here?” asked the man holding the parchment.
“Yes, the previous soul tracking already located that spirit core stone somewhere in Jiangnan. This time, we should be able to narrow it down to a specific city,” said the man named Zhengyun.
“Good, I’ll start then,” the man said.
“Wait,” Zhengyun suddenly spoke.
“What is it?” the man turned his head in confusion.
“Chenmu, before you left, did you notice the situation with Senior Brother? How many spirit core stones has he absorbed?” Zhengyun asked.
Chenmu thought for a moment and answered, “When I left, he was absorbing the second spirit core stone.”
“So that’s one stone per month… We’ve been out for two months now, perfect timing.” Zhengyun narrowed his eyes slightly, a smile appearing on his face. “Let’s begin. We need to bring back this fourth spirit core stone as soon as possible so Senior Brother can complete the great perfection of the seven souls and six vitalities!”
“Alright.”
Chenmu closed his eyes, clasped the tattered parchment in his palm, and began to recite an obscure incantation.
The incantation was quite long. Chenmu recited for nearly a minute before the parchment in his hand suddenly emitted light.
Then, Chenmu opened his hands, and the tattered parchment rose into the air, floating in midair.
Points of light began to spread outward in all directions.
This process required quite a long time.
Zhengyun and Chenmu walked to a stone bench behind them and sat down, quietly watching the parchment floating in midair.
“The Grand Elder was truly wise. Back then, he could foresee so many things in the future… Without this soul-tracking map he left us, we wouldn’t have been able to find four spirit core stones so quickly,” Chenmu said.
At the mention of the Grand Elder, both men’s expressions became reverent.
The Purple Flame Palace’s rise to a first-class sect back then relied on the Grand Elder’s personal ability and leadership.
Without the Grand Elder, Purple Flame Palace might have remained an obscure small sect.
“I’ve already seen the legacy the Grand Elder left for us, all the highest-level treasures and secret manuals from the treasure pavilion back then,” Chenmu said hoarsely.
Zhengyun looked at the parchment floating in the air, hatred flashing in his eyes, and said, “The Grand Elder believed in us. He left us the best of everything so that today, more than two thousand years later, we could find that damned Method Yu and take revenge!”
Hearing these words, Chenmu turned to look at Zhengyun, wanting to speak but hesitating.
He knew very well that saying such things was not appropriate at the moment.
But he felt that the Grand Elder couldn’t have anticipated that Method Yu, who had brought catastrophic destruction to Purple Flame Palace back then, would still be alive today.
The reason for leaving so much legacy was simply to help them, the disciples, revive Purple Flame Palace more quickly.
Regarding Method Yu, Chenmu harbored extreme fear in his heart.
He had witnessed with his own eyes how his master and many imposing elders died at Method Yu’s hands.
Though Chenmu hated this man, he had never thought about seeking revenge against him.
Especially after learning that this man was still alive more than two thousand years later.
More than two thousand years ago, Method Yu could single-handedly destroy Purple Flame Palace.
More than two thousand years later, Method Yu’s strength couldn’t have remained stagnant; it would only be more terrifying!
Back then, even the Grand Elder died miserably at Method Yu’s hands. How could they, mere disciples, be a match for Method Yu now?
Although Senior Brother Jiangdao now possessed Purple Flame Palace’s supreme magical artifact, Chenmu still lacked confidence.
Initially, when they confirmed that Method Yu was still alive, all the revived disciples felt the same despair and fear as Chenmu, even afraid to go out and expose their whereabouts.
But after learning about the existence of the supreme magical artifact, their attitudes changed.
Jiangdao believed they could kill Method Yu with this artifact and avenge Purple Flame Palace.
Now, except for Chenmu, everyone else was caught in extreme fanaticism. They all wanted to find Method Yu and take revenge.
In such an atmosphere, it seemed only Chenmu still felt fear.
Therefore, he didn’t dare to speak his mind.
“The soul tracking is complete.”
At this moment, Zhengyun spoke.
The soul-tracking map floating in front had lost its glow.
Chenmu stood up, walked forward, and caught the falling soul-tracking map.
The originally blank soul-tracking map now showed many points of light, forming an extremely simplified map.
