Ye Qiu was dumbfounded.
What kind of day was this? Why were bad things happening one after another?
One must know, Immortal Long Eyebrows was a cultivator, normally impervious to blades and spears, yet a simple fall had broken his bones.
It was truly unbelievable.
Ye Qiu couldn’t help but say, “Old man, you’re the leader of a sect, how are your bones so brittle?”
Immortal Long Eyebrows glared at Ye Qiu, “I broke my bones, and not only do you not comfort me, but you’re also making snide remarks. Are you even human?”
Ye Qiu laughed, “Of course I’m human, and a proper man at that.”
Immortal Long Eyebrows said impatiently, “Alright, stop yapping and help me up.”
But Ye Qiu stood still, “Old man, you’re a cultivator at the Foundation Establishment stage, surely a little fall didn’t leave you unable to stand?”
Damn you!
Immortal Long Eyebrows was so angry his nose nearly twisted, snorting coldly, “You won’t help, huh? Fine, I’ll get up myself.”
As he spoke, Immortal Long Eyebrows propped himself up with his left hand and stood.
But his shoe slipped, and with a “bang,” his head hit the wall, and his body crashed to the ground.
Crack!
His left arm broke!
“Ouch…” Immortal Long Eyebrows cried out in pain.
Seeing this, Ye Qiu’s eyes nearly popped out, it was too bizarre.
“Little brat, help me up, I’m begging you, it hurts so much,” Immortal Long Eyebrows whimpered, almost in tears.
Ye Qiu helped him up, laughing, “The world’s greatest diviner? Great fortune? Heh, old man, your predictions are spot-on!”
With both arms broken and already full of frustration, Immortal Long Eyebrows was furious at Ye Qiu’s sarcasm.
“You little bastard, can’t you shut up? If you piss me off, I’ll beat you up.”
Ye Qiu said casually, “I was going to help you fix your bones, but now it seems unnecessary…”
“No, wait!” Before Ye Qiu could finish, Immortal Long Eyebrows put on a big smile and said fawningly, “Ye Qiu, Saint of Medicine, my good brother, quick, help me fix my bones.”
Ye Qiu said, “Old man, you know, your smile looks really sleazy.”
“Does it?” Immortal Long Eyebrows’ smile widened, “Thanks for the compliment.”
Ye Qiu, “…”
Afterwards, Ye Qiu treated Immortal Long Eyebrows’ arms, and in the blink of an eye, both arms were as good as new.
Immortal Long Eyebrows moved his arms while showering Ye Qiu with flattery.
“Little brat, you’re truly a legendary physician, your medical skills are unparalleled, unmatched in the world.”
“I’ve traveled the world for years, and honestly, a young man as outstanding as you is a rare sight.”
“My admiration for you is like the endless flow of a mighty river, or like the Yellow River flooding out of control. You’re a man of striking appearance, elegant and refined, with extraordinary talent and vast knowledge, well-versed in both past and present. Not only do you possess earth-shattering abilities, but you also have a face that everyone loves. Even if Pan An or Song Yu were reborn, they’d feel inferior in your presence. You are a dragon among men…”
“Stop!” Ye Qiu said, “I don’t deserve all that.”
Immortal Long Eyebrows laughed, “If you don’t deserve it, who does?”
Ye Qiu said, “Hu Yan Luan Yu!”
Immortal Long Eyebrows was confused, “Who’s Hu Yan Luan Yu? Why have I never heard of them?”
“I’m not done,” Ye Qiu added, “I’m talking about Hu Yan Luan Yu’s fans, they’re the real dragons among men, the heroes of our time!”
Immortal Long Eyebrows was even more puzzled.
He thought, who are Hu Yan Luan Yu’s fans, and why are they so impressive?
“Old man, are you flattering me because you want something?” Ye Qiu asked.
“Nothing gets past your sharp eyes,” Immortal Long Eyebrows chuckled, “Little brat, Dragon Gate is still a bit far, call a car, will you?”
Ye Qiu said, “Can’t you call one yourself?”
Immortal Long Eyebrows grinned, “I was so focused on helping you find the dragon vein that I left in a hurry and didn’t bring any money.”
Yeah, right!
Ye Qiu didn’t say much, sent a text, and by the time he and Immortal Long Eyebrows reached the parking lot, a Mercedes RV was already waiting.
“Little brat, you actually got a luxury car,” Immortal Long Eyebrows whispered, “The fare’s not cheap, is it?”
Ye Qiu said, “Xiao Zhan arranged it, it’s free.”
With Dragon Gate now ruling the world, there were disciples stationed in Luoyang too. As the master, getting a car arranged was a piece of cake for Ye Qiu.
“Your Dragon Gate is loaded,” Immortal Long Eyebrows said enviously.
“Why don’t you join Dragon Gate?” Ye Qiu said, “Old man, if you join, I’ll guarantee you a position second only to me, above all others.”
Immortal Long Eyebrows was tempted, “What position?”
Ye Qiu laughed, “Chief Steward!”
Immortal Long Eyebrows’ face turned green, ignoring Ye Qiu and diving into the car.
Ye Qiu chuckled and got in.
After a forty-minute drive, Ye Qiu and Immortal Long Eyebrows arrived at Dragon Gate.
At that moment, the sudden rain had just stopped.
Ye Qiu looked out the car window, seeing two mountains facing each other, with a calm, emerald-green river flowing between them.
A thin layer of mist floated on the river, faint and shifting, sometimes near, sometimes far, like a flowing ink painting.
Immortal Long Eyebrows introduced to Ye Qiu, “The two mountains you see are called East and West Mountains.”
“The East Mountain is also known as Fragrant Mountain, where Bai Juyi once lived, hence his title, Fragrant Mountain Scholar. The West Mountain is called Dragon Gate Mountain.”
“On both mountains, countless Buddhist caves and statues were carved, forming the world-famous Dragon Gate Grottoes. If we have time later, I’ll take you to see them.”
“As for the river in the middle, it’s called Yi River.”
“Legend has it that Fragrant Mountain and Dragon Gate Mountain were once a single mountain, collectively called Dragon Gate Mountain. It’s said that during the Great Flood, Yu the Great split the mountain to control the waters, creating a gap.”
“This formed the current layout of two mountains facing each other, with the Yi River flowing through, resembling a gate, so in ancient times, this place was called Yi Que.”
“In 605 AD, Emperor Yang of Sui decided to move the capital to Luoyang. He led his vassals to inspect the terrain from Luoyang’s northern Mang Mountain, saw Yi Que to the south, and clapped his hands, exclaiming, ‘Isn’t this Dragon Gate? Why didn’t people build a capital here before?’”
“One of his ministers replied, ‘It’s not that people didn’t know, they were waiting for Your Majesty!’”
“Emperor Yang was delighted, and from then on, Yi Que was called Dragon Gate.”
Ye Qiu said, “Old man, you know quite a bit. Have you been to Dragon Gate before?”
Immortal Long Eyebrows laughed, “Never been, I read all this in books.”
Ye Qiu, “…”
After getting out of the car, they toured the Dragon Gate Grottoes, then had a meal. That evening, Immortal Long Eyebrows took Ye Qiu to the banks of the Yi River, quietly awaiting the treasure’s appearance.
