Longevity Fairy: Sister, Please Wait A Little Longer

Chapter 5 005: Shock from Ning Wanqiu

Three days had passed in the blink of an eye, and Chu Bai lay motionless on the bed.

It wasn't that he didn't want to move, but that he couldn't.

He had agreed to test the power of the Innate Cave Mansion, but as he tested it, it turned into a breakthrough.

Currently--

[Chu Bai]: 16 years old, inner disciple of Azure Cloud Sect.

[Cultivation]: Fourth level of Qi Refining Stage.

[Spirit Vein Aptitude]: Fire Spirit Vein (damaged, under the protection of luck, slowly recovering).

[Wealth]: 10 (121) pieces of Low Grade Spirit Stones.

[Soulmate]: Ning Wanqiu (named soulmate).

[Cultivation Technique]: Forging Bone Technique.

[Technique]: Light Body Technique (perfected).

[Divine Ability]: None.

[Law Weapon]: None.

[Cave Mansion]: Innate Cave Mansion·Moon Shadow.

[Luck]: [Soulmate of Sect Master].

Chu Bai admitted that he had been reckless. He found an opportunity to challenge the third level of Qi Refining, and he rushed headlong into it.

For all these years on the mountain, he had always taken the safe route.

For example, Xiao Shijie had achieved great success in the inner sect, gaining fame as a fairy, but very few people knew about her relationship with Chu Bai.

But after enduring for ten years, he finally had a glimmer of hope. Anyone in his position would find it hard to resist.

"One last time, I can't play like this anymore, it's life-threatening."

After breaking through to the fourth level of Qi Refining, Chu Bai fell into a coma and didn't wake up until a whole day and night had passed.

He was paralyzed for a day, unable to move due to the pain. Even now, he could only sit up reluctantly, take care of his personal hygiene, and then obediently return to lying down to recover his strength.

"The fourth level of Qi Refining is still three small realms away from the entry standard of the inner sect."

One major problem with Chu Bai's cultivation was that his Spirit Vein was damaged, resulting in a very low efficiency in absorbing Spirit Gathering Qi.

However, the Innate Cave Mansion had a Spirit Gathering array that forcefully gathered the surrounding spiritual energy.

If the spiritual energy inside the room was 10, Chu Bai could only absorb 1. But when the Innate Cave Mansion was activated, it could expand that 10 to 100, 200, or even 300 or 500, naturally solving the problem.

Next, he had to thank the Sect Master.

Because Sect Master Ning became Chu Bai's named soulmate, Chu Bai's luck attribute went from nonexistent to existing.

[Soulmate of Sect Master]: Soulmate of Azure Cloud Sect's Sect Master, shares the sect's luck with Sect Master Ning Wanqiu; due to the fact that your relationship with Ning Wanqiu has not been made public, your luck gain is reduced.

Luck was luck, but it wasn't all luck. With the protection of Azure Cloud Sect's luck, his damaged Spirit Vein began to slowly recover.

This was a great thing.

Slow progress was not a problem. As long as his Spirit Vein could fully recover, Chu Bai would only be twenty-six years old after ten more years.

As for what was mentioned about making the relationship public.

Forget about making it public. If Ning Wanqiu, the big shot, found out that he had been bound as a soulmate by a fourth level Qi Refining disciple, he would flatten the back mountain in minutes.

"My Spirit Vein has hope of recovery. I remember my fire attribute Spirit Vein was quite powerful. With fire attribute cultivation techniques and spells, I can achieve twice the result with half the effort. I'm actually more suitable to be an alchemist than Xiao Shijie with her water attribute Spirit Vein."

Chu Bai, who lay on the bed like a log, smiled.

These were all good news. The bad news is that breaking through this time consumed a total of 115 pieces of Low Grade Spirit Stones.

As a small outer sect disciple who only received a monthly salary, it wasn't easy for him to accumulate this wealth.

From morning to evening, in just one day, his assets were cut in half!

This was the fault of the Innate Cave Mansion.

"-1"

"-1"

At that time, Chu Bai didn't understand, but now he naturally understood.

"It's eating my Spirit Stones!... 115 pieces! Without eating or drinking and only relying on my monthly salary, it will take me a year to save up!"

Thinking of this, Chu Bai's heart was bleeding.

Innate Spirit Treasure eating Low Grade Spirit Stones, eating a hundred at once can only be described as a drizzle.

But Chu Bai is a poor ghost even worse than a drizzle.

"When I can move, I will immediately go down the mountain to sell medicine!" Chu Bai said seriously.

The outer sect competition of Azure Cloud Sect has ended, and today is the competition among the inner sect disciples.

In terms of talent, the sect has always attached great importance to it and has prepared generous rewards for the top twenty disciples.

In the spectator stands, passion and excitement were high, and some people set up gambling games. Zhang Senior Brother pays three to one, Li Senior Brother pays five to one.

In contrast, the elders who come here once a year are much calmer.

Not to mention the annual competition, they have witnessed the selection of disciples many times in the past ten years.

Occasionally, an old person would pay attention to a certain disciple, inquire about their mentor, and consider taking them as a disciple, but it was only occasional.

If there is a talented disciple without a mentor and strong potential, would the Nascent Soul elders above let them go?

Regarding this competition, there is a small detail. The outer sect's Elder Nangong, besides appearing on the first day, did not show up for the rest of the time.

Elder Nangong is the strongest in the outer sect and has a close relationship with the Sect Master. The high-level members of the outer sect rely on her support.

"Elder Hua, do you know what's going on? I'm old and not far from death. I planned to choose a disciple to pass on my mantle in the next two years, but I dare not ask without Elder Nangong present," said an old man with white hair.

Elder Hua shook her head and said, "From what I know, it seems that the Sect Master summoned Elder Nangong, and later something happened. Elder Nangong's cultivation has greatly advanced and is about to break through."

"Nascent Soul Late Stage?"

"Yes."

"That's great!"

To advance from Nascent Soul Mid Stage to Late Stage, one needs to comprehend the Dao and break through. It may take a year or even thousands of years to comprehend.

But to advance from Nascent Soul Late Stage to Nascent Soul Great Perfection, one only needs to continue accumulating spiritual power, and the progress can be estimated.

In other words, the distance between the outer sect of Qingyun and having a Nascent Soul Great Perfection cultivator is not far.

If Elder Nangong advances further and breaks through to Soul Formation, it is not impossible for her to be on par with the inner sect peaks and the outer sect.

"Hahaha!"

The two old men laughed heartily.

Compared to Nascent Soul Great Perfection, compared to Soul Formation cultivators, one or two young disciples are nothing.

However, no one knows that at this moment, Elder Nangong has gone to see the Sect Master, who is located at the peak of Azure Cloud Mountain. The expression behind her veil is very complicated.

In the pavilion at the center of the lake,

Ning Wanqiu, who was sitting lazily, motioned for her to sit and personally poured a cup of fragrant spiritual tea, saying, "Alu, I was too anxious that day. In fact, letting that child develop freely is the best choice."

The Son of Heaven, favored by the heavens. The heavens told Ning Wanqiu that if Chu Changge could help her defeat the Sword Sect Master within a year, then Ning Wanqiu only needed to focus on her own affairs, and the heavens would guide that child to meet her.

Unfortunately, she couldn't reveal the secret of the Heavenly Mirror.

Peeping into the heavens is already a taboo, and if it is spread indiscriminately, Ning Wanqiu and Elder Nangong will undoubtedly face misfortune in the future.

Therefore, Alu definitely wouldn't believe in the Son of Heaven, and might even suspect that their young miss had gone mad.

Then, Ning Wanqiu smiled, and Chu Chen's eyes also carried a hint of amusement. She continued, "He is a good child, but the Son of Heaven is just my guess. It's not reliable. Alu, what do you think after seeing him?"

Originally, Chu Bai's identity was also Ning Wanqiu's guess.

But Elder Nangong said, "He does have the possibility of being the Son of Heaven."

After saying this, Elder Nangong handed over several sheets of paper with words written on them.

Ning Wanqiu was surprised at first, then took the papers and looked through them one by one.

[Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river, do not underestimate a poor youth!]

Sect Master Ning smiled again, like a blooming Tian Shan snow lotus.

[Do not abandon, do not give up!]

Ning Wanqiu blinked her eyes lightly and said, "Not bad."

On the third page, [...vanished into thin air!]

Ning Wanqiu spent more time reading this page than the previous two combined.

She didn't say anything, but she understood in her heart... Elder Nangong had not reduced her hatred even a bit over the passing years.

Then, she turned the pages, and on the fourth page, Ning Wanqiu froze, just like Elder Nangong a few days ago, as if struck by lightning!
