Chapter 45: Little Junior Sister of Falling Flower Peak
Luo Xue was in a good mood.
After so many reincarnations, this life was the most relaxed.
Not only did she have a Senior Sister who treated her very well, but even the elders in the immortal sect were so amiable.
“Token…”
Luo Xue examined the cyan token engraved with the words “Law Enforcement Hall” in her hand, feeling a little surprised.
The Peerless Summit Sect was mainly composed of sword cultivators, divided into four peaks.
Falling Flower Peak, Dawn Light Peak, Cold Edge Cliff, and Underworld Water Ravine. Among them, Dawn Light Peak was the head, and its peak master was also the sect master.
Although the basic techniques cultivated by the four peaks were all the Peerless Summit Scripture, there were slight differences.
The Law Enforcement Hall was formed by selecting elders and disciples from these four peaks. It was independent of the four peaks and held the responsibility of supervision.
Its authority was so great that even the sect master was subject to its constraints.
There was a saying in the Peerless Summit Sect: Better to offend the elders of the four peaks than the disciples of the Law Enforcement Hall. This showed their influence.
“Having connections with the Law Enforcement Hall before even entering the sect, it seems that this life will finally allow me to cultivate properly and according to the rules.”
Luo Xue put away the token and leisurely walked towards the small house deep within Falling Flower Peak.
Although there were groups of female disciples passing by from time to time, looking at her with curiosity, wondering why such a young child would appear in Falling Flower Peak, no one came to stop her.
The children of elders were not uncommon in immortal sects, as many cultivators found love on their path. The Peerless Summit Sect had never forbidden such matters.
Such peace and tranquility were what Luo Xue imagined the world of cultivation to be like.
Fighting and killing was so unpleasant. Wouldn’t it be nice if everyone just cultivated honestly and pursued longevity?
Unfortunately, because Luo Xue hadn’t officially entered the sect, she couldn’t access the Peerless Summit Sect’s inheritance techniques, even with Senior Sister’s protection.
Immortal sects valued rules, and not passing on the Dao to outsiders was the most basic rule.
“Sigh, if only the Xuanyin Phoenix Transformation Scripture had taught a few killing techniques…”
Thinking of this, she felt a headache coming on.
If she had a move or two, Luo Xue wouldn’t have been so helpless against the assassin in the apocalyptic world.
What was even more troublesome was that Luo Xue couldn’t cultivate the Xuanyin Phoenix Transformation Scripture now…
This technique was peculiar. Before the Spirit Condensation Realm, she could only absorb Yin Breath Poison for cultivation. Ordinary spiritual energy had no effect at all.
Furthermore, she only had 305 survival points, and she didn’t know where to use them.
The next stage of cultivation aptitude required 1000 survival points, but even if she had 1000, after the last lesson, Luo Xue wouldn’t dare to invest them all at once.
She needed to keep some survival points on hand, in case of emergencies.
Returning to the small house, Luo Xue took out her short sword and went to the courtyard, beginning her daily practice.
These were all mortal martial arts that Bai Zhanying had collected, practiced by Luo Xue in a manner of imitation.
Although these non-spiritual combat techniques were considered insignificant in the eyes of immortals, they could at least give Luo Xue some physical skills, not letting down her “Martial Arts Grandmaster” realm.
In addition, Luo Xue also discovered that, perhaps because of the True Phoenix blood essence, her physical strength was much greater than that of ordinary Innate Realm cultivators. She could be considered a girl with monstrous strength.
This kind of strength might not be beneficial for techniques, but it was surprisingly effective in low-level cultivator fights.
Luo Xue had only practiced for a short while when a figure appeared at the entrance of the courtyard.
Bai Zhanying walked in silently and sat down on the ground.
With a wave of her sleeve, a teapot appeared out of thin air and landed on the side, starting to boil.
Luo Xue practiced, and she watched.
The peaceful time always passed quickly. After Luo Xue finished practicing the martial arts manuals, Bai Zhanying’s tea was just ready.
“Tired?”
Bai Zhanying asked softly, handing Luo Xue a cup of hot tea.
“I’m fine, thank you, Senior Sister.”
Luo Xue took the tea and drank it in one gulp, sitting down beside Bai Zhanying in a slightly relaxed posture.
Bai Zhanying sipped her tea slowly, her gaze not on Luo Xue but on the distance.
Their interactions had always been like this, seemingly distant yet harmonious.
“Xiao Xue.”
Bai Zhanying suddenly called out, breaking the silence.
She turned to look at Luo Xue and said faintly,
“You… do you really want to enter the immortal gate?”
“Yes,” Luo Xue immediately sat up straighter. “Senior Sister, what’s wrong?”
“Why?”
Bai Zhanying looked at Luo Xue, her expression very serious.
“Because I want to cultivate, I want to become stronger,” Luo Xue touched her nose. “Senior Sister, you are so powerful, I want to be like you.”
This was the truth.
Senior Sister was at least at the Core Formation Realm or above. If Luo Xue had that kind of power, all the previous crises would have been like paper.
“But…”
Bai Zhanying hesitated.
She knew very well that Luo Xue couldn’t cultivate immortality.
The Calamity Poison Body could only become an evil cultivator.
Even if she passed the Immortal Ascension Gate, even if she entered the Peerless Summit Sect, the sect would never give her inheritance techniques to cultivate.
Because no matter what, Luo Xue could only cultivate evil techniques.
Perhaps, at most, they would give her a copy of the Breathing Technique…
“But what?”
Luo Xue blinked.
Bai Zhanying was silent for a while, still unable to bring herself to tell Luo Xue this cruel fact.
“…You need to work hard.”
Bai Zhanying said vaguely, her gaze seeming to avoid Luo Xue’s.
“Okay.”
Luo Xue nodded.
Bai Zhanying forced a smile, but she was clearly preoccupied.
In the end… she was powerless.
Luo Xue looked at the suddenly silent Senior Sister. She could tell that Senior Sister was hiding something from her, something she couldn’t say.
Senior Sister Bai Zhanying was a good person.
It sounded a bit like giving someone a “good person card,” but this was the most appropriate evaluation of Senior Sister.
In fact, Senior Sister was very beautiful. Without any makeup, she had a beauty that could captivate cities, but she never dressed up.
She always wore the simplest plain white dress, and even her long hair was tied up in the most old-fashioned style with a hairpin. She always had a stern face and rarely smiled.
Moreover, her strictness towards her junior sisters made the disciples of Falling Flower Peak tremble with fear—
Incidentally, Falling Flower Peak only accepted female disciples. There were many reasons for this, one of which was that their techniques were biased towards the feminine.
There were also rumors that the Peak Master of Falling Flower Peak had been hurt by a man when she was young, so she didn’t like having male disciples on the peak.
These were just idle gossip that Luo Xue had heard. In any case, Luo Xue liked Falling Flower Peak very much, and she also liked the Senior Sister of Falling Flower Peak.
Therefore, Luo Xue believed that if Senior Sister didn’t say something, she must have her reasons.
Just like Luo Xue hadn’t revealed some truths to Xiao Yao and A’Ling, not because she wanted to hide it, but because she had to.
The two sat there silently, each with their own thoughts.
Sunset, twilight, stars, and the bright moon.
The rare leisure time always passed quickly. Due to the approaching Immortal Ascension Gate, sect affairs were busy, and Bai Zhanying couldn’t stay in the house to rest.
After drinking this pot of tea with Luo Xue, Bai Zhanying got up and left.
She didn’t say another word, just left faintly, as usual.
But looking at Senior Sister’s back, Luo Xue felt a sense of inexplicable loneliness.
…Was it an illusion?
Luo Xue sat alone in the house for a long time. The teapot beside her gradually cooled, and the last cup of tea in her hand had also lost its heat.
“Sigh…”
With a soft sigh, Luo Xue tilted her head back and drained the cup in one gulp.
If a tea master of the mortal world saw her drinking immortal tea in this way, they would probably be furious, calling it a waste of heavenly treasures.
Although Senior Sister brought it casually, in the mortal world, just one leaf of this immortal tea would be auctioned for a sky-high price, and even then, there would be no supply.
“Such a young age, yet so old-fashioned, not good.”
Just then, a lazy voice suddenly rang in Luo Xue’s ear, followed by an intoxicating fragrance.
…It was truly intoxicating.
