Qingyun Gate is shrouded in clouds and mist, with cranes soaring in the sky, creating a peaceful scene of a holy place for cultivating immortals.
However, in front of this cave filled with fairy spirit, Li Xiao (now named Xiaoran) sat slumped on the stone platform with a look of despair on his face, a piece of dogtail grass in his mouth, his eyes staring blankly at the sky, and he wailed silently in his heart -
"Ahhhh! This crappy place has no internet! No games! No Steam! No PS5! No cell phones! Not even any novels! I'm a time traveler, and yet I'm living a life even worse than a 996 office worker on Earth!"
In just a few days, he successfully entered the Qi Training Stage, his cultivation progressing at an incredible rate, and now he's even reached the sixth level of Qi Training in one breath. Any other cultivator would have burst into tears of joy, thanking the heavens and earth for this gift, and wishing to burn incense and worship their ancestors. However, Xiaoran wasn't excited at all, and instead, he felt increasingly frustrated.
"If only I could have a tablet, even if it's just for playing Minesweeper..." He sighed deeply and collapsed on the stone platform, his eyes full of nostalgia for modern life.
However, he was not really depressed, but because - he had been tortured by Senior Sister Liu Qingxuan and was exhausted both physically and mentally!
The reason why Xiaoran was able to join the Qingyun Sect was all thanks to the introduction of the sect leader's beloved daughter, the eldest senior sister Liu Qingxuan.
Liu Qingxuan, the Qingyun Sect's number one prodigy, had reached the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage at a young age and was hailed as the undisputed choice for the next Sect Leader. Not only was she formidable in strength, but she was also breathtakingly beautiful, with skin as white as snow, a graceful figure, and a pair of piercing phoenix eyes like cold stars. Her icy aura intimidated countless cultivators, making her the very definition of the ideal "dream sister" in the world of immortal cultivation.
Xiaoran originally thought that once he joined Qingyun Sect, he could rely on his connections to live a leisurely life of eating and waiting for death, but he didn't expect Liu Qingxuan to not give him this opportunity at all!
Every morning, she would appear at Xiaoran's door on time and kick it open without any hesitation: "Xiaoran! The sun is already shining on your butt, why don't you get up and practice?!"
Then, without mercy, he grabbed Xiaoran, who was still sleeping, and threw him directly to the martial arts training ground to practice sword. After sword practice, he meditated, and after meditation, he practiced sword, day after day, repeating the cycle without mercy.
Xiaoran screamed madly in his heart: "I am really screwed in the fairy world."
One morning, with dark circles under his eyes and a tired face, he looked at Liu Qingxuan and pleaded tentatively: "Senior Sister... can you let me rest for a day? Or... at least let me sleep until I wake up naturally?"
Liu Qingxuan crossed his arms and snorted coldly, "Want to slack off? Do you think cultivating immortality is child's play?"
Xiao Ran said with a bitter face: "But I'm only at the sixth level of Qi training. No matter how much I practice, it's impossible for me to establish my foundation right away, right?"
Liu Qingxuan narrowed her eyes, raised the corners of her mouth slightly, and sneered, "Oh? You mean... you don't want to practice anymore?"
"No, no, no, that's not what I meant..." Xiaoran waved his hands quickly, lowered his head and muttered softly: "I just want some human rights..."
Liu Qingxuan raised her eyebrows and said in a sharp tone, "What are you mumbling about?"
Xiao Ran shuddered, and immediately straightened his back, speaking in a sonorous and powerful tone: "Report to Senior Sister! I'm saying, cultivating immortals is really wonderful!"
"Hmph." Liu Qingxuan snorted coldly and casually threw a jade slip to him. "Today's homework is the second chapter of the 'Qingyun Sword Technique' and the 'Spiritual Power Condensation Technique'. You are not allowed to sleep until you finish them."
Xiaoran stared at the jade slip in his hand, his eyes dull and his mouth twitching. Inwardly, he screamed frantically, "I can only look at the beauties in the world of immortal cultivation but not touch them. How can I live like this?!"
Although he was tortured to death by the eldest senior sister, the other brothers and sisters of Qingyun Sect treated Xiaoran very well.
The second senior brother, Zhao Tiancheng, is a cheerful fat man who has reached the ninth level of Qi training. He keeps muttering "maintaining a good mood is necessary for cultivating immortality" all day long. Then he sneaks into the kitchen to build good relationships with the junior sisters, just in exchange for some spiritual food as a snack.
The third senior brother Li Yuanhao is a sword fanatic. He always carries his sword with him no matter where he is, even hugging it when he sleeps. He is obsessed with practicing all day long, and is completely different from Xiaoran.
Fourth Senior Sister Su Wan'er was gentle and charming, and she loved to plant flowers and grass. She was responsible for almost all of the medicinal gardens in the back mountain of Qingyun Sect. Seeing Xiaoran being tormented by Liu Qingxuan every day, she felt pity for him and would occasionally secretly give him some spiritual fruits to nourish his body.
Fifth Senior Brother Xiao Ran had a very similar personality to Xiao Ran. He was a complete "tanker" player. He spent the whole day holding a copy of "A Guide to Immortal Life" and leisurely lying in the shade of a tree, drinking tea and sighing:
"Cultivating immortality is all for nothing in the end. It's better to sleep more while you're still young."
Xiaoran agreed with Fifth Brother's words, but unfortunately, Senior Sister didn't give him the chance to "lay low and cultivate immortality."
One day, while his senior sister was away, Xiaoran sneaked off to the back hills and laid out leisurely on the grass. He rested his hands behind his head, eyes narrowed slightly, savoring this rare moment of tranquility. A gentle breeze blew by, bringing wafts of fragrance, and the chirping of birds filled his ears, nearly causing him to drift off to sleep.
"This is what life as an immortal cultivator should be like..."
However, just as he entered the dream, he was suddenly enveloped by a familiar pressure, like an icy mountain, crushing his comfort to pieces.
He suddenly opened his eyes and his heartbeat quickened instantly.
Not far away, Liu Qingxuan stood in front of him with an expressionless face, her arms folded across her chest, her eyes narrowed, staring at him coldly.
"Xiaoran." Her tone was terrifyingly calm.
Xiaoran's body froze, alarm bells blaring in her heart. She quickly sat up, offering a stiff smile: "Ah, Senior Sister, why are you here? I...I was just practicing!"
"Practice?" Liu Qingxuan raised an eyebrow slightly, her tone half-smiling, "Then tell me, what was that 'LOL' you were muttering in your dream just now?"
