The sound of a sharp sword piercing the sky echoed through the woods.
The falling leaves were lifted by the wind from the sword. Under the woman's sword, they seemed to come alive, soft and light, yet at the last moment they shot with immense force towards the distant tree trunk.
"Kite!"
The massive tree trunk was shaken by the inconspicuous leaves, producing a cacophony of sounds. The leaves, like scattered petals, instantly covered the ground.
After completing her routine, the woman sheathed her sword and took a deep breath.
"Senior Brother, how is it?"
The woman's voice was clear and elegant, with a hint of coquettishness, as if she were showing off to someone.
Her eyes were bright and sparkling, with a hint of shyness, as she gazed intently at the man before her.
Her pink dress fluttered in the spring breeze, like a little fairy who had wandered into the mortal world.
"Very good. But the strength is still a bit lacking."
Then, Wen Zhaobai gripped his sword tightly, and a beautiful sword flourish appeared in his hand. Fallen leaves, billowing in the wind, danced beneath his blade.
A fierce glint flashed in his eyes, and sword energy slashed from his fingertips. Leaves drifted towards the tall trees ahead.
With a loud "bang," the tree was snapped in half by a tiny leaf.
The woman was stunned for a moment, then an expression of admiration appeared on her face.
"Senior Brother is indeed amazing; his skill has improved considerably."
"Xueqing has also improved."
Wen Zhaobai patted the woman's head affectionately, as he always did.
"You're lying. My senior brother hasn't come back in a long time, and he doesn't even care about Xueqing anymore. How would he know if I've improved?"
Xueqing naturally hugged the man's waist and rested her head against his chest.
The woman's soft complaint made Wen Zhao's eyes flash with embarrassment. The weight on his chest made him feel even more uncomfortable.
Immediately afterwards, Wen Zhaobai subtly pushed the woman away a little.
"Xueqing is the junior sister of the entire Xiuyun Immortal Sect. They may forget anyone else, but they will never forget you, their little princess."
Xueqing pouted, clearly dissatisfied with the perfunctory answer.
"Then why doesn't my senior brother come back?"
"Of course, I have something to do."
"Then you can't stay this long next time."
Xueqing speaks with a childlike logic, always with an unusual innocence.
"this……"
"Um?"
Under Xue Qing's coercion, Wen Zhaobai could only appease her by saying:
"Yes, I'll do whatever you say."
Xue Qing didn't notice Wen Zhaobai's helplessness. She still smiled and skipped over to Wen Zhaobai, affectionately grabbing his sleeve.
"What fun things did you do on this training trip, Senior Brother? Tell me about them..."
As the sun gradually set in the west, the two figures were cast long, elongated shadows on the grass.
They were inseparable, like a perfect couple.
The Immortal Clan Election officially began the following day.
Ordinary people are chosen by the Heavenly Dao through the barrier separating them from the mortal world, but joining a sect is undoubtedly a very good way to truly integrate into the cultivation world.
The sect possesses nearly 80% of the secret treasures and resources in the cultivation world. Gaining the sect's recognition also indirectly proves one's ability and value.
Among all the major sects, the Xiuyun Immortal Sect stands out as particularly special.
"Human cultivators line up on the left, and demon cultivators line up on the right."
A man in a white robe was directing the procession at the front, his expression somewhat indifferent, and he looked helpless every time he glanced at the long line on his right.
Although the Immortal Venerable Yanze, the top master of the cultivation world, is on good terms with the demon world and even allows demon cultivators to study in the cultivation world, only a few sects in the cultivation world are willing to offer courses to teach demon cultivators.
For various reasons, the Xiuyun Immortal Sect holds a very high position in the eyes of both human and demon cultivators.
As for why this immortal kept shaking his head...
Luo Jiu glanced at the long queue on the right out of the corner of her eye...
Most demons are animals that absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, gain intelligence, and cultivate themselves to eventually become demons.
They originated from nature, and their most original form represents their most comfortable way of life. So much so that the long queue consisted of various small demons bearing certain characteristics of the demon race.
A snake demon with scales covering half its face, a tiger demon with half an arm transformed into a tiger's arm, a rabbit demon with long ears that droop down to its waist, and a fox demon with narrow eyes, a pointed mouth, and monkey-like cheeks.
Luo Jiu narrowed her eyes and suddenly thought of the white fox with snow-white fur in the cave in the misty forest.
What would it look like if it took human form?
My own fox is definitely prettier than this one in front of me.
Suddenly, Luo Jiu's eyes darkened. As she flew out of the Misty Forest, she saw the white figure relentlessly pursuing her on the ground.
He ran away; the fox will never forgive him.
"Place your hand on the spiritual platform and try to inject the spiritual energy circulating throughout your body into the spiritual platform."
The proctor's voice reached her ears, and Luo Jiu gripped the jade in her hand even tighter.
I got this by stealing the only valuable thing I had from the Treasure Pavilion, so please be reliable.
She closed her eyes, unable to bear looking at the test results. Being suddenly thrust into the ranks of demon cultivators would be so embarrassing it would make her dig a hole in the ground.
A moment later, before she could hear any reaction, Luo Jiu quietly opened her eyes and met the examiner's complicated gaze.
Under his intense gaze, Luo Jiu was momentarily at a loss for how to react.
"Could you place your hand on your mind platform and try again?"
The spiritual platform emitted a faint emerald light under Luo Jiu's palm. Then, the light grew brighter and brighter, illuminating a small area of the world. Something seemed to be breaking free from its restraints and emerging from her palm.
"this……"
The disciple who was recording the events was also dumbfounded; the purity of the spiritual energy was truly enviable.
"Ah Liu, write this down: Spiritual energy purity level 4."
And so, Luo Jiu left amidst the envious gazes of a group of people, though she still didn't know what had happened.
The real-name reporting system is negligent; they haven't even released the most basic information. They're just waiting to be downgraded!
[Recently, the system was interfered with by a strong magnetic field, causing internal malfunctions and the loss of a large amount of global data.]
Zero Nine's almost emotionless robotic voice rang out after Luo Jiu's吐槽 (tu cao, a Chinese internet slang term for sarcastic or critical comments), as if trying to explain something. But Luo Jiu was human; she felt that any explanation was just a cover-up, and the cover-up was the truth.
[...]
Luo Jiu was led to a private room. The environment was beautiful and the air was pleasant. A thin layer of spiritual energy permeated the sky, which made people feel refreshed and relaxed.
"Rest well here first. Tomorrow is the selection of a master, so you can prepare well."
"Thank you, senior sister."
The room contained a wooden bed with a faint sandalwood scent, and next to it was a small study, which, though small, was fully equipped.
For Yu Luojiu, the place where she lives is not the most important thing; the most important thing is that she lives alone!
She gently closed the door, and in a flash, a snow-white rabbit leaped over the threshold and disappeared.
