Not long after Deacon Bai left, Jue Mingzi emerged from the side hall, stormed into the main hall, and shouted:
"Master, this fat man is going too far! Not only did he trespass into the sect, but he also demanded exorbitant prices. How dare he!"
The Immortal Daoist's expression was solemn. He raised his hand to stop Jue Mingzi's grumbling and said:
"When you're under someone's roof, you have to bow your head. It's just a matter of refining a few more, no big deal. Send the word that the collection of materials for this year's Longevity Pill should begin now. After all, we need to refine a lot more to shut up the Incomparable Academy!"
The cassia seed, indignant, nodded in agreement.
"The only good thing is that all the materials needed to refine the Longevity Pill can be found in Wulipo. In addition, as a reward, all disciples who participated in the collection work will receive an extra Longevity Pill at the end of the year!"
Upon hearing this, Jue Mingzi's face lit up with joy, and he echoed:
"Our master is wise and sagacious; we will certainly not fail to live up to his expectations!"
"Alright, you may leave!"
The Taoist Changsheng looked exhausted. He waved his hand, indicating that Jue Mingzi could leave. The latter also got up to leave. Just then, a muffled sound came from the void, followed by a black bat-shaped shadow that darted out and attacked the Taoist Changsheng's face!
Although the Immortal Daoist was greatly shocked, his reaction was quick. With a wave of his sleeve, his entire body floated backward. The black bat shadow missed its target, and its original size of a fan shrank to a size smaller at a visible speed. Then it tumbled in the air, changed direction, and disappeared into Jue Mingzi's back in a flash.
The Immortal Daoist stared in terror at Jue Mingzi, who was slowly turning around. Jue Mingzi's eyes burned with black flames, his face contorted in a sinister grin, and his voice was distorted as he spoke:
"Chang Sheng! Don't forget what you promised me... no... ah..."
Black Flame Cassia Seed's mouth gaped open, but before he could finish speaking, billowing black smoke from his eyes melted away like ice and snow. The Cassia Seed, whose face had been contorted with rage just moments before, stood frozen in place, utterly bewildered. Upon seeing the terrified expression on the Longevity Daoist's face, he hesitated and said:
"Master...Master? Is there anything else you need?"
"That's all. You may leave now!"
"Jue Ming takes his leave!"
Jue Mingzi looked bewildered, scratching the back of his head, feeling a bit dizzy. Could it be from cultivating too much today? But Jue Mingzi hadn't taken more than a few steps when the Longevity Daoist called out to him from behind:
"Wait a minute. After you finish arranging the gathering, take a few disciples and renovate the main gate. Although Luoyun Sect is a small sect, it still needs to maintain some semblance of dignity."
"Your disciple obeys and will go to carry it out immediately."
Watching Jue Mingzi's departing figure, Changsheng Daoren's face darkened and his eyes sharpened. The black bats were appearing more and more frequently. What was bound to happen would eventually happen, and there was no way to avoid it!
Inside the empty main hall, the sighs of the Daoist of Longevity echoed endlessly.
At this moment, Li Sisui, having finished his bewildering cultivation, looked dejected, a small twig dangling from his mouth, pacing back and forth outside the cave, appearing quite anxious. This cultivation was truly not something a human could do, especially for a modern person like him who had been baptized by science. It was like trying to comprehend a heavenly book; he could recognize each word separately, but when put together, he was completely baffled!
What draws upon the heavens and earth, and connects all the parts of the body?
What energy gathers at the core and then disperses to the summit?
Go to hell!
Li Sisui was initially quite confident in his reading comprehension, but after reading the cultivation manual, he realized that his reading comprehension was practically nonexistent...
What's going on here? After going through countless hardships and narrowly escaping death to transmigrate here, all for the sake of archaeology?
I don't care who it is, I'm not training anymore!
Then, thinking of the powerful cultivator who was in seclusion in the cave next door, Li Sisui became even angrier. Especially since the body he had transmigrated into was genetically determined to be a cultivation failure, there was a moment when he really wanted to jump off a cliff and be reborn!
But at least Li Sisui has been through so many years of hardship in society, so he still has some resilience. Living is still pretty good. It's better to live a miserable life than to die. No matter what, living is the most important thing. As the saying goes, all roads lead to Rome. If this road is blocked, then we'll find another one!
Hold on! Don't panic, we're the main characters!
Since I can't cultivate myself into a powerful figure, I can only rely on someone else. Naturally, I thought of Senior Brother Lingyun, a god-like man in the sect. He is also a strong and solid powerful figure. If I can rely on him, it would be nice to be his support!
Although Li Sisui had considered the stunningly handsome man next to him, he immediately rejected the idea. Given Leng Rushuang's personality, it was already a favor that he hadn't kicked him. What was he thinking, trying to curry favor with someone?
To be honest, in my memory, Senior Brother Lingyun treated him exceptionally well. Although his cultivation was weak, Senior Brother Lingyun never abandoned him and provided him with a constant supply of various cultivation techniques and elixirs, caring for him meticulously. This made him take Lingyun as his role model from the bottom of his heart. Even though Lingyun has been gone for nearly a thousand years, he still cultivates diligently. Although he has been stagnant, he still hopes to catch up with Lingyun's footsteps...
What a blockhead! He's been cultivating at the third level of the Divine Illumination Realm for nearly a thousand years without making a single improvement. Can't he think of any other way? What a stubborn fool...
Despite his complaints, Li Sisui also felt a pang of sympathy for himself.
During this year, although Li Sisui's cultivation level remained unchanged, he had made up for most of his basic knowledge about cultivation. Now he can be considered a qualified cultivator. Apart from his somewhat weak cultivation level, everything else is passable. He is no longer as clueless and bewildered as he was when he first arrived.
Since his cultivation level had only reached this point in such a short time, Li Sisui decided not to dwell on it and started thinking about magic weapons and spiritual artifacts. If he could have a handy magic weapon, his combat power would surely increase a bit, right?
To this end, he even went so far as to turn all the caves in the courtyard, except for the one in the middle, upside down, making the whole courtyard chaotic and messy. In the end, he found nothing but some bottles and jars, which made Li Sisui depressed for a long time.
The pig demons that had been kept in captivity were taken away by the sect leader's men the next day, and the place was thoroughly cleaned and looked brand new. Not only that, but the sect would also send fruits and pills to the seniors in the cave every day on time, as a sign of respect. However, since Leng Rushuang was in seclusion, Li Si accepted them all and consumed them all himself, living a rather leisurely life. If his cultivation could make some progress, that would be even better...
"I really am a piece of trash!"
Suddenly, Li Sisui spat out the twig from his mouth, his face showing a mixture of surprise and joy, while he kept cursing himself for being useless. Fortunately, there was no one else around, otherwise they would have thought that their grandmaster had gone mad again.
"This mortal mindset needs to be changed! It needs to be changed immediately! We're cultivators now, how could we possibly leave our precious treasures and magical artifacts in a cave for safekeeping? Are we stupid?!"
As he spoke, Li Sisui began to look down at himself, touching himself left and right, stretching out his hands to examine himself carefully, but still couldn't find what he was looking for. This made Li Sisui jump up and down on the spot. He subconsciously reached out and scratched his head, suddenly touching the hair tie on the top of his head. The texture was warm and delicate. Sure enough, he still had it!
His storage ring was actually a hairband!
