Chapter 321
When awaiting execution, a person is always unusually calm, but the flowing blood in the body puts them in a state of extreme tension.
Song Bai held his breath and concentrated.
In the silence, he heard a woman's laughter.
The smile was no longer as cold and indifferent as before, but rather as gentle as a spring breeze.
Song Bai looked up, and his dim starry eyes gradually regained their light.
He saw the most beautiful sight he had ever seen in his life.
Ling Wu spoke slowly: "From now on, you will be my only disciple."
Song Bai was taken aback, his lips parted slightly, and he was about to kowtow again.
But this time, Lingwu used her spiritual power to lift him up, preventing him from continuing to kowtow.
According to the outer sect elders, this disciple is quite willful and reckless, but he is always cautious and even tries to please her as if walking on thin ice.
Since he was her disciple, she would naturally do her best, but Bai still needed Song Bai's "assistance" from the sidelines.
After all, Bai Yu had long regarded Song Bai as the object of his hatred.
But if it weren't for that, Song Bai wouldn't have become her disciple.
In this world, there are gains and losses.
Ling Wu opened her lips: "Although Bai Yu is not very talented, he is too temperamental and has great fortune. He needs someone to help him before he can embark on the path of greatness."
Fearing misunderstanding, Song Bai had no choice but to ask clearly: "This disciple is dull-witted, please enlighten me, Master."
Ling Wu said, "Just as the black-robed man said, you continue to maintain the status quo." Ling Wu took out a talisman, "If the black-robed man reappears, immediately crush the talisman, and I will arrive."
Song Bai took the talisman and froze, as if his worldview had collapsed. He murmured in disbelief, "Huh? Continue to bully, bully him?"
Seeing this, Lingwu shook her head, "No, you are helping him."
"Is it to help him? To help him..." Bai Yu pondered, his eyes gradually brightening.
So, he helped him by accident before?
"Disciple understands!" He was about to kneel down again, but then paused and performed a fist-and-palm salute.
From this day forward, Song Bai felt that he was becoming increasingly aggressive towards Bai Yu in his spare time from cultivation.
Bai Yu, who was being trampled under Song Bai's feet, looked up at Song Bai's face, but when he saw Song Bai's "I'm doing this for your own good" expression, he felt nauseous and wanted to vomit.
Song Bai, however, was unaware of this. He simply revealed a pair of dimples, smiled frankly, and kicked her again before reluctantly withdrawing his foot.
Then he said sarcastically, "You really can't compare to me in anything. You lack talent, your cultivation is insufficient, and even your face is unpleasant to look at."
After saying this, Song Bai walked away with an air of profound wisdom and mystery.
But inwardly, he was secretly praising himself for being so helpful!
Bai Yu, who only got up after seeing him walk away, touched the blood flowing from the corner of his mouth and coughed incessantly.
The demonic soul in the sea of consciousness was clearly disgusted: "Did this ant forget its brain today?!"
Bai ignored him and walked to the mirror, staring at her own face.
This face could have been as good as Song Bai's.
But he not only wanted to surpass Song Bai in this aspect, he also wanted to surpass Song Bai in everything.
He must be worthy of being in her sight.
Bai Yu wiped away the blood and asked the demon soul, "You said you wanted to use living beings as sacrifices, but right now I've only drawn qi into my body. Is it alright to use rats as sacrifices?"
The demonic soul, disregarding Song Bai's bewilderment, gritted its teeth upon hearing this, "My cultivation technique is unmatched even in the Upper Realm! Yet you defile it with that filth!"
Instead of answering, Bai Yu asked, "Then you killed someone at the Tianyi Sect?"
"..." The demonic soul remained silent for a short while before letting out a faint "humph".
Then, as if feeling he had lost his composure, he cursed, "Woman's lackey!"
This sentence caused a dark look to gather in Bai Yu's eyes.
There's plenty of time in the future. One day he will suppress this demonic soul in his mind and make him utter the words "Immortal Venerable" himself.
Bai Yu made rapid progress, and just as he was passing through the Qi Refining stage, Ling Wu happened to pass by and gave him some guidance.
These few words of guidance were enough to excite him so much that he couldn't sleep all night.
This displeased the Demon Soul, who poured cold water on the idea, saying, "You've been here for so long, is this really the first time she's found out you've been secretly cultivating? It's ridiculous that she's so happy after only giving you a few pointers.
Bai Yu disagreed, and his eyes even lit up with hope again. "Of course the Immortal Venerable knows, but if the Immortal Venerable is willing to give a home to a good-for-nothing, the good-for-nothing himself still needs to work hard."
"This time, it was only because the Immortal Venerable truly saw my efforts that he gave me some pointers."
"Moreover, before the Immortal Venerable left, he praised me, saying that although my talent was lacking, I made up for it with hard work!"
The demon soul was speechless and choked with emotion.
Snow falls on Half Moon Peak year-round.
In the first year, Bai Yu received some guidance from Ling Wu and worked hard to cultivate.
In the second, third, fourth, and fifth years, Bai Yu successfully completed his foundation building.
In just five years, a person with five spiritual roots who was considered useless successfully established his foundation and embarked on the true path of cultivation.
To everyone's astonishment, they suddenly recalled the scene five years ago when Immortal Venerable Banyue, undeterred by any rumors, resolutely took him away.
Meanwhile, Song Bai, another genius with a single water-type spiritual root who was taken away, had already entered the Golden Core stage, and now there are rumors that he is about to advance to the next level.
Some people exclaimed, "The feng shui of Half Moon Peak is truly auspicious!"
The other person shook his head and said in a deep voice, "The feng shui of Half Moon Peak is good for people, but this good feng shui comes from the Half Moon Immortal Venerable alone."
This conversation later spread throughout the entire cultivation world.
Half-Moon Peak was unaware of the astonishment of the others outside the peak. When Song Bai learned that the secret realm was about to open, he went to find Ling Wu.
Before anyone could knock, the door opened, revealing Bai Yu bowing deeply in gratitude to his master.
Bai Yu said, "Although I am not a disciple of the Immortal Venerable, I have been blessed and guided by the Immortal Venerable, which has enabled me to formally embark on the path of cultivation."
After he finished speaking, he solemnly knelt and bowed three times and then noticed Song Bai's arrival, so he tactfully stepped aside.
Song Bai gave him a deep look before stepping forward with a slight smile and bowing, "Master."
"I almost reached the Nascent Soul stage just now, but fortunately I managed to suppress it. Otherwise, I might not have been able to enter the secret realm the day after tomorrow."
The difference in their tone of voice was immediately apparent.
"good."
Song Bai was still a little embarrassed after receiving Ling Wu's praise.
Bai Yu, who did not receive Ling Wu's praise, had an expression that was hard to decipher.
Now that Bai Yu has shed his childish innocence and embarked on the path of cultivation, the scars on his face and body have not disappeared. He did not dare to ask Ling Wu, but through his own exploration, he roughly guessed that they were related to the man in black robes.
—She just didn't want him to have an easy time.
But Song Bai had mentioned that there were herbs in the secret realm that could restore his appearance, so he had to go!
At that moment, Ling Wu placed her mark on Song Bai's forehead, saying, "I am not worried about your strength, but this secret realm does not belong to any of the major sects. It was formed naturally, so there will be demonic cultivators."
“You have always been cautious, but the ways of demonic cultivation are unpredictable. This is a manifestation of my spiritual power, which can withstand a full-force attack from a cultivator below the Tribulation Transcending stage.”
Ling Wu paused for a moment, then added, "If there are any cultivators trapped in the secret realm, please do your best to help them."
Knowing Ling Wu's concern for him, Song Bai respectfully replied, "This disciple thanks Master for his teachings. I will certainly not disappoint Master during our trip to the secret realm!"
Lingwu nodded and gave him several more treasures before letting him leave.
Bai Yu, who had been standing quietly to the side, was filled with envy, yet also felt inexplicably ashamed, as if he too had once cherished such things, only to have destroyed them with his own hands.
He dismissed this strange feeling before speaking: "Immortal Venerable, this disciple has recently learned a new dish."
Lingwu nodded.
"This disciple dares to ask the Immortal Venerable to have a taste." He smiled shyly and took out the still steaming dishes from the low-level Qiankun bag that Ling Wu had given him five years ago.
Bai Yu, having learned some tricks from somewhere, has been cooking for Ling Wu quite often over the past two years.
However, his cooking skills were indeed excellent, and he never made a mistake. Perhaps it was because he dared not serve anything that was inedible.
Lingwu knew that for Baiyu, what he obtained easily was the easiest for him to discard like trash.
Therefore, Lingwu never took the initiative between the two; Baiyu always followed behind her, looking up to her with a humble and subservient attitude.
He would be eternally grateful whenever he occasionally received a few words of advice or some elixirs from Ling Wu.
Ling Wu put down her chopsticks and commented, "Not bad."
Then they waited for Bai Yu to tell them his request to enter the secret realm.
In his previous two lives, Bai Yu had gained a great deal from this secret realm, and he would definitely enter it again in this life, but his nightmare would also follow.
