He frowned slightly, looking somewhat dissatisfied.
There is an unwritten rule in the cultivation world: matters of cultivation cannot be casually revealed to people in the mortal realm.
After all, the resources in the cultivation world are limited, and they have long shown signs of depletion over time.
For some unknown reason, as early as ten thousand years ago, no one was able to ascend to the upper realm anymore, as if the path to ascension had been severed.
As a result, many old monsters whose cultivation had long reached the Mahayana stage were unable to ascend, and either cultivated in seclusion in sects or hid in the deep mountains to avoid the world.
Unable to ascend, the spiritual energy in the cultivation world is not as abundant as before, and rare and precious natural treasures are becoming increasingly scarce.
However, the number of people in the cultivation world is increasing, and those with high cultivation levels also have exceptionally long lifespans, which makes resources even more scarce.
After repeated cycles, the situation became increasingly serious. Finally, the major sects and aristocratic families discussed the matter and decided that, apart from those who originally lived in the cultivation world, they would no longer teach cultivation methods to people in the mortal world.
Human lifespan is inherently limited, and apart from those families that have been passed down for thousands of years, as time goes by, people in the mortal world become less and less convinced of the existence of immortality cultivation.
Of course, if a promising talent is discovered in the mortal realm, they can be brought back to the cultivation world. However, under normal circumstances, they will choose to buy out the talent's lifelong commitment.
Then erase the memories of your loved ones.
But Tantai Yueming is an exception. He was born into the royal family, and members of the royal family are protected by dragon energy. It's not that they can't do these things, but it would be against the natural order and would manifest when they face their tribulations.
Having embarked on the path of immortal cultivation, who wouldn't want to attain enlightenment and ascend to immortality? Even though it has long been rumored that the path to immortality has been severed.
However, most people still do not believe it, thinking that it is simply a matter of missing techniques or not having found the correct method for ascension.
In this situation, who would risk their immortal path for an outsider?
Furthermore, the royal family already knew about the cultivation of immortality, so informing them wouldn't make much difference.
But the Lin family is different; the Lin family is just an ordinary family.
She had no right to know about cultivation, but given the current situation, it's clear that Lin Jiujiu had already told her about it.
However, Tantai Yueming was only distracted for a moment before receiving a warning from Baili Chenyuan.
He was so frightened that he quickly composed himself.
"What a joke! This is someone even their Sword Sect's patriarch wouldn't dare offend. The fact that he's allowed me to call him brother is already incredibly generous. Do you really think I'd treat him like a brother?"
Lin Xiaomei tugged at it a few times, but Tantai Yueming didn't answer.
Just as Lin Xiaomei was about to let him go and ask someone else, Tantai Yueming suddenly had a flash of inspiration.
This might be the best opportunity to curry favor with someone.
After all, that person used to be indifferent to everything, but now he is clearly different towards the Lin family.
If he can maintain a good relationship with the Lin family, wouldn't that relationship be more solid?
Thinking this, Tantai Yueming immediately put on a smiling face.
"Little girl, didn't you see? Doesn't Brother Tantai seem like a cultivator?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Xiaomei's eyes lit up.
"Brother Tantai, is everything you said true? Then I..."
Lin Xiaomei asked with excitement in her eyes.
"Can I cultivate immortality like Brother Tantai?"
She never imagined that one day she would meet a real immortal.
Thinking this way, she felt that Tantai Yueming was more and more extraordinary.
Tantai Yueming wanted to take Lin Xiaomei under his wing, so that he could be tied to Lin Jiujiu, a woman whose strength was unclear.
But he didn't dare.
Didn't you see Lin Jiujiu giving him a warning look?
He has no doubt about Lin Jiujiu's abilities now.
He sometimes even felt that if Lin Jiujiu wanted to kill him, she wouldn't even need Baili to lift a finger; she could do it herself.
For some reason, this feeling has become increasingly strong since I broke through to the Nascent Soul stage.
Lin Jiujiu gave him a warning look, and seeing that Tantai Yueming didn't say anything he shouldn't have, she looked away.
He looked at Lin Xiaomei and Lin Luo, who were eager to try.
"This matter needs careful consideration. Cultivating immortality is not as fun as you think. The spiritual energy here is thin, making cultivation almost impossible."
But the cultivation world is nothing like this peaceful place. There are no countries, no laws; only the law of the jungle and endless slaughter. One wrong move and you'll die without even knowing how.
Lin Xiaomei shrank back in fright at her second sister's words.
But Lin Luo was different from her. While inwardly criticizing Lin Xiaomei for being useless, she said to Lin Jiujiu.
"Second sister, I'm not afraid, I want to follow you."
Ever since they learned about cultivation, the Lin family members had all guessed that Lin Jiujiu might also be a cultivator.
And they probably won't stay with them for long.
Lin's father and mother were heartbroken, but also reluctant to part with him.
But they also knew that some things couldn't be stopped, and Lin Jiujiu was always headstrong and probably wouldn't listen to them.
However, when Lin Luo said he wanted to follow Lin Jiujiu, a glimmer of hope appeared in their eyes. If their family could be together, it wouldn't be so bad if they had to move to a different place.
Upon hearing Lin Luo's words, Lin Jiujiu refused almost without thinking.
"No, without any strength, you can't even gain a foothold in the cultivation world. I won't take you with me to your death."
As she spoke, Lin Jiujiu looked at Lin Xiaomei with a serious expression.
"Don't even think about pestering Tantai Yueming to teach you how to cultivate immortality afterward. I don't agree to that."
As Lin Jiujiu spoke, she turned to look at Tantai Yueming.
Tantai Yueming turned her face away and refused to look at her.
But she also knew that the first half of her sentence was directed at Lin Xiaomei, while the second half was a warning to herself.
Although he had some ulterior motives, given how clearly Lin Jiujiu had made it clear, he certainly wouldn't dare to teach Lin Xiaomei.
He could only look at her apologetically.
Lin Xiaomei muttered something indignantly.
"Second sister is going too far. Why can she learn it, but we can't?"
Lin Jiujiu almost laughed out of anger at her.
She thought she was deliberately muttering in a voice that the whole family could hear, unaware that she was talking to herself.
"It's not that I don't want you to cultivate, it's just that it's obviously not possible."
Upon hearing this, Lin Xiaojiu instantly perked up.
"So, does Second Sister mean it's okay from now on?"
Lin Jiujiu wanted to say, "I didn't say that," but she didn't refute it either.
He said to her earnestly, "I will set up a spirit-gathering array at home, so that even if I don't cultivate, I can still nourish my body and live to be a hundred or eighty years old without any problem."
Lin Xiaomei was still unwilling. If she didn't know about cultivation, it would be fine, but now that she did, how could she be willing to give up like this?
So, taking advantage of her young age and the fact that Lin Jiujiu usually doted on her, she directly acted coquettishly.
"Second sister, I don't want to live to be a hundred or eighty years old. I'd be willing to die right now to cultivate immortality."
Lin's mother was so angry at her words that she took off her shoes and wanted to hit her.
Lin Xiaomei reacted quickly, grabbing Lin Luo and pulling him in front of her.
Lin Luo was so focused on persuading his second sister to let him cultivate immortality that he was caught off guard and his mother slapped him on the shoulder with the sole of her shoe, making him wince in pain.
