Book 4: Chapter 27: The Blushing Face Of The Old Virgin

\n

“He said that he has no desires other than the thirst for knowledge. Is that true?”

Bai Qiuran asked.

“Yes, his other desires have disappeared.”

Xue Ling nodded and said:

“If you want me to help you test him, then you don’t have to worry about it.”

While the two were talking, Wise Immortal was also observing Ming Ying and Xue Ling. After a while, he smiled:

“Oh, you two are not ordinary ghosts. One was born on the battlefield, was abandoned on the battlefield, and died on the battlefield, then sucked other broken souls and became a ghost infant. The other died in resentment and killed countless people, yet finally became a Soul Taker. It’s a wonderful combination.”

Hearing this, Ming Ying shrank back a little timidly, while Xue Ling raised her eyebrows unhappily.

“Hurry up and put him away.”

He said to Bai Qiuran.

“Why don’t you take him back to the Underworld?”

Bai Qiuran threw away the skull in his hand.

“No, no!”

Wise Immortal retorted:

“The Underworld is boring, Soul Takers are a bunch of workmen who only know go to work and get off work every day, how can I satisfy my thirst for knowledge there!”

And Xue Ling also shook his head:

“The Underworld won’t like this kind of inquisitive guy. You keep it, as long as you don’t die, he basically answers all questions, and it will help you a lot.”

“Yes, yes, little friend Bai…no, old Bai, aren’t you going to explore the imperial tomb of the first Demon Emperor? You see, not only I have maxed my analysis skill, but I’m also portable, is it a great help for you?”

Wise Immortal yelled:

“I also want to see the imperial tomb of the first Demon Emperor, and understand what happened between him and the Immortal Emperor and gods in the ancient times… Please, as long as you take me, you can use me as an object.”

Bai Qiuran thought for a moment. He really didn’t believe in this Wise Immortal. Even if Xue Ling said that this skull had no desires other than curiosity, he didn’t know if this guy would become a scourge in the future.

He didn’t know enough about Wise Immortal, but Xue Ling didn’t accept it. Now the only solution is to bring him to the safest side. Firstly, I can watch him carefully. Secondly, Wise Immortal can be regarded as a foundation for me. Provided a clue that was in the sense and reason, I also needed to use this method to reciprocate.

“Then I’ll temporarily keep you.”

Bai Qiuran hung the joyful Wise Immortal back on the side of his belt, and then asked Xue Ling and Ming Ying:

“Does the Land Immortal incident end here?”

“Well, there are still many ancient cities in the Nine Provinces and Ten Lands, and there may also be surviving Land Immortals, but that is no longer a matter of your mortal world, my men will solve the problem.”

Xue Ling nodded.

“Then thank you very much for this time.”

Bai Qiuran clasped her fists and saluted, then immediately said ruthlessly:

“You can get out, I’m going to do my own thing.”

Xue Ling looked at him uncontrollably, so he asked:

“Have you found a clue to break through the foundation?”

“Yes.”

Bai Qiuran smiled when he mentioned this topic.

“For more than three thousand years, I finally saw the light.”

“Ah.”

Xue Ling chuckled lightly and said:

“Don’t be happy too early. There is an old saying ‘people who travel a hundred miles think that they pass ninety when they’re just half of the way’. Maybe it will take you more than three thousand years to find the way.”\nBai Qiuran became angry from embarrassment and kicked Xue Ling back into the void amidst Ming Ying’s panicked shout.

———————–

Back in the realm of the immortal world in the Wise Immortal Cave Mansion, Bai Qiuran found that the people of the major sects had begun to pillage various places in the cave mansion… The formal term was “inspection”.

Everyone expressed their enthusiasm, especially the group from Mystery Academy. From disciples to elders, they seemed crazy. They didn’t feel like high-level elites from one of the five main sects of the righteous way in the cultivation world, but a group of patients who ran out of the asylum.

Bai Qiuran narrowed his eyes and looked at the tallest palace in the sky for a while, then asked the surroundings:

“Who is going to call Elder Xu down from there? What kind of decent elder is lying on the roof?”

“Well, Senior Sword Patriarch, Dean Qiu Yuxuan has already received the notice, and he will bring people over soon.”

A “slightly calm” disciple from the Mystery Academy said to Bai Qiuran while buckling the pattern on a floor tile.

“Qiu Yuxuan …”

Bai Qiuran thought for a while.

“How do I feel like something bad will happen…”

Not long after, Dean Qiu Yuxuan ran in with several elders from the Mystery Academy —they didn’t have to fly on their way. As soon as this group of crazy people heard that there was a good Dixian Cave Mansion to study, they just used the newest analyzing result, the space teleporting formation that had not yet verified its safety, to jump directly from the headquarters of Mystery Academy to the Ancient City.

When Bai Qiuran saw this group of people, he was shocked, thinking that when there was another cultivation sect formed from beggars.

And as he expected, Qiu Yuxuan and the others did not control Elder Xu at all. After a while, the head of Mystery Academy and the elders lay a row on the top of the palace, holding various tools to calculate, while murmuring to themselves.

Bai Qiuran didn’t bother to remind them, this was the virtue of the Mystery Academy.

He instructed Qiu Yuxuan to take care not to damage things, and then walked in to see what happened to the group of direct disciples he had left in there before.

After wandering around, he found that many of these disciples had found their own chances. Some found magical secrets in the book collection area, thoughtful, and some encountered magic weapons that were related to him, triggering the “recognizing the master” procedure.

Even his own disciple Tang Ruowei has obtained an armor and was now refining it.

Instead of disturbing these people, he found Su Xiangxue who was checking the situation of the disciples of the Kamasutra Sect and called her to a separate corner.

“It’s really rare that you would take the initiative to call me out.”

Su Xiangxue followed Bai Qiuran to sit in a flying pavilion floating on the clouds and then took off the veil on her face.

Bai Qiuran was one of the few people in the cultivation world who could look directly at her face and speak normally. Others, even with the same cultivation level as her, would inevitably fluctuate under the action of the Phantom Charm.

But this time, Bai Qiuran looked at her attractive face and thought of You Meiqiao’s words before, and he couldn’t help being a little stunned.

“What?”

Su Xiangxue’s abnormality was quickly noticed by Su Xiangxue. The latter blinked, then suddenly snickered and approached him, saying:

“What’s wrong? Have you finally discovered the charm of this girl?”

When she got so close, Su Xiangxue’s face was also a little hot, but she still maintained her image with the decent sect master of Kamasutra Sect, and started to laugh at Bai Qiuran.

“I never said you have no charm.”

Bai Qiuran coughed, pushed Su Xiangxue’s face away slightly, and said with a serious face:

“Alright, let’s get to business.”
