218. The First Step of the Little Fox’s Immortal Path
Lin Nuo used to like hiding alone to slack off, and he chose places that only he would go to.
Gradually, he found that the places he went to were discovered by a few young girls.
His fellow disciples, it seemed, were all keeping an eye on his whereabouts.
So, as he slacked off, a young girl would often appear. Of course, he wouldn’t pay special attention to his image just because a girl was present. He would eat and drink as he usually did.
As for Liu Shuqin and the others, they didn’t mind. Instead, they were delighted to see a different side of him.
Although Liu Shuqin smiled at Qin Shili, seemingly calm, the air was already filled with tension.
Lin Nuo was enjoying Liu Shuqin’s lap pillow, and the two of them seemed quite intimate.
Liu Shuqin chuckled unhurriedly:
“What a coincidence, Shili, aren’t you practicing with Elder Yuan?”
“Aren’t you practicing with Master?”
Qin Shili retorted.
Liu Shuqin replied, “I finished practicing.”
“Then I finished too.”
Before they came here, they had met and specifically asked each other where they were going. Both lied that they were going to practice.
As a result, they met here.
“I hope you stop this behavior, he doesn’t like it.”
Unknowingly, Qin Shili had already walked up to Lin Nuo and the others. “Junior Brother likes it very much, can’t you see how comfortable he is?”
“He is just being polite and respectful to you, don’t think he likes it.”
“He said it before, he also said he likes my lap pillow the most.”
Qin Shili and Liu Shuqin didn’t show anger on the surface. Their seemingly ordinary conversation was actually an invisible battle.
“You are a lady from a noble family, unlike you to act this way.” Qin Shili continued to mock her.
“If it’s Junior Brother, it’s fine. But you should care about your image.” Liu Shuqin retorted.
“I am just like this.”
The two of them were mocking each other, not giving in at all, and Lin Nuo’s ears were hurting from listening.
Seeing that Lin Nuo had no intention of getting up, Qin Shili directly grabbed his arm and pulled him up.
Liu Shuqin was not willing to back down either, and immediately pulled him over. Unconsciously, Lin Nuo felt a strong force pulling him from both sides, as if he was about to be torn apart.
“Stop, you two.”
Lin Nuo quickly shouted, “I, Lin, am just here to slack off. Can you let me have some peace?”
“You two, one a noble lady, the other a cold and aloof ice queen, is this pulling action something you two should be doing?”
“Aren’t you afraid of being scolded by Fairy Han if she finds out?”
The two of them actually listened to Lin Nuo and stopped.
Lin Nuo continued, “If you have the strength to pull me, why don’t you spar with each other?”
“Just what I wanted.”
Qin Shili agreed with Lin Nuo’s suggestion and looked at Liu Shuqin, “How about a spar?”
“Sure, it seems like I haven’t sparred with Shili for a long time.”
Although Liu Shuqin’s cultivation was lower than Qin Shili’s, she still agreed.
Lin Nuo: “…”
I just casually mentioned it, and you really want to fight?
Since that’s the case, go ahead and fight.
Unlike ordinary cultivators who would explain and persuade them, Lin Nuo, who feared chaos in the world, stood by and watched while eating a meat floss bun.
It’s okay, they won’t kill each other anyway. Let’s see how these two fight.
As a result, the two of them started fighting, and because both of them were strong, it caused a commotion and was discovered and stopped by the elders and masters in time.
Lin Nuo was also punished for standing by and not stopping them, and even for inciting them to fight.
…
After more than a month of guidance, Li Ruo’er had finally entered the sect and taken the first step towards becoming an immortal.
Moreover, through the relationship with Immortal Dong Xiyan, Li Ruo’er was able to do a spiritual realm assessment, and the result was the third stage of the spiritual realm.
If Lin Nuo were not a reborn person, he would probably be so angry that he would vomit blood. Now, it seems that anyone he randomly finds has a higher cultivation than him.
That’s not right. In Xuanyun Sect, there is a cultivator who has been practicing for many years and is still at the first stage of the spiritual realm, named Ma Baoguo.
Li Ruo’er is truly a neglected genius. She quickly comprehended the techniques taught by Dong Xiyan, focusing her mind, practicing qi, adjusting her spirit and meridians, she understood them all.
Dong Xiyan conducted an experiment, specially creating an environment like the immortal valley of Zifeng Valley. Li Ruo’er was able to adapt and could completely go to Zifeng Valley for the next step of cultivation.
“Young master, I succeeded! I can control qi now~”
Li Ruo’er excitedly reported to Lin Nuo, feeling very proud. In this way, she felt closer to the young master and could be worthy of him.
“Mm, very good, you have already taken this step, the distance to becoming immortal is not far.”
Lin Nuo said seriously, displaying the demeanor of a master.
Li Ruo’er requested:
“Young Master, how about we have a little sparring match? I want to see how big the gap is between me and you.”
“You’ve just started, it’s not possible yet. I’m worried about accidentally hurting you. Think about it when you get stronger.”
How could I spar with you? What if you turn out to be stronger than me? Wouldn’t that be embarrassing for me, Lin?
“Young Master, Young Master~ Sister Dong said that I am suitable for developing in the direction of summoning and controlling spirit beasts in the future. I don’t know if I can handle it.”
“Li Ruo’er.”
“Ruo’er is here, Young Master.”
“From now on, call Dong Xiyan ‘Immortal Dong’, don’t call her sister.”
“Ah, why? She doesn’t seem to mind~?” Li Ruo’er didn’t understand.
“It’s about respect. Dong Xiyan is an immortal, and you have just started. You can’t call her sister, it’s impolite. Even if she doesn’t mind, you shouldn’t call her that.”
The main thing is that woman is over fifty years old, but looks young because of her cultivation. Calling an old lady ‘sister’ while eating, isn’t that disgusting?
And she’s an immortal old lady, it’s already good enough not to call her an old relic.
Lin Nuo seriously fooled Li Ruo’er, and Li Ruo’er understood, nodding repeatedly. In her view, everything Lin Nuo said was right. She indeed lacked manners and had offended.
“Young Master, we are about to go to Zifeng Valley, I’m so nervous. I wonder what will be there?”
“There’s nothing to be nervous about, just go with the flow.”
“Oh~ Ruo’er is not like Young Master. Young Master has seen big scenes and has entered the immortal valley countless times. Ruo’er has just started, it’s still the path to immortality, I’m still a bit scared~”
“What are you afraid of? Aren’t I going with you?”
“Right~ With Young Master here, there’s nothing to be afraid of~”
Li Ruo’er raised an innocent smile. With Lin Nuo around, she feared nothing.
She didn’t expect to take this step. According to Immortal Dong, it was all thanks to the Young Master, his keen eye, and the benefits of dual cultivation.
Lin Nuo packed up his things, preparing for the trip to Zifeng Valley, to check out the lair of his future enemies.
He remembered that he hadn’t seen Su Kexin recently.
That little girl, where did she sneak off to for secret cultivation and advancement?
