Mortal Cultivation: I have a proficiency panel

Chapter 14 Please Don't Forget
Seeing Wang Jue's behavior, Nie Ying naturally knew what Wang Jue meant. Now that the former ancestor of the Nie family had passed away, the entire Nie family was supported by only her, a person in the Foundation Establishment Stage. Naturally, this would attract the covetous eyes of other immortal cultivation families. After all, every immortal cultivation family occupied some industries, and they would use any means to compete for immortal cultivation resources.

Now that Wang Jue, a high-level cultivator from the Huangfeng Valley, has taken the initiative to stand up for the Nie family, it will naturally put an end to the thoughts of those who have ulterior motives. So Nie Ying smiled and nodded at Wang Jue gratefully. This was just a piece of cake for Wang Jue.

After everyone was seated, Nie Ying's foundation-building banquet officially began. No one knew what Nie Ying had been through, but she was no longer as shy as before. Instead, she chatted with everyone in a generous manner and raised her glass to drink from time to time. It seemed that this woman had grown a lot.

Wang Jue just watched the whole process. He didn't like such overly lively occasions, but he also knew that it was inevitable for people living in this world.

At dusk, the foundation-building banquet ended and the guests left one after another. Nie Ying also packed up. She and Wang Jue sat in the attic, looking at the sunset in the sky in silence.

Suddenly Nie Ying looked at Wang Jue and said with a smile: "Thank you for coming to my foundation building banquet. Your arrival has helped me a lot."

Wang Jue just shook his head and smiled when he heard that: "I was just watching from the side. I heard that you are going to be accepted as a disciple by Elder Lei Wanhe. Congratulations. You have changed a lot. In the past, I just teased you and you would be shy for a long time. I didn't expect that now you can support a family by yourself. I am really happy for you."

Nie Ying listened to Wang Jue talking. She looked at Wang Jue's face, her eyes full of inexplicable emotions. In fact, she had known his feelings over the years, but the burden of the family was on her and she could not be distracted, so she could not express her true feelings.

Wang Jue also felt that there was something wrong with the look in Nie Ying's eyes when she looked at him. How could he not know Nie Ying's feelings for him? It was just that he was destined to be a wandering prodigal son, and Nie Ying had a family to protect, so how could she follow him around the world? In fact, both of them had their own pursuits, and if they were forced to be together, then one of them would have to give up his or her insistence.

"Wang Jue, I...can you...stay...tonight?" Nie Ying said this in a hesitant voice.

Wang Jue was startled when he heard this. He naturally understood Nie Ying's intention, but he said hesitantly: "Ying, you also know that I won't stay here for long, and I won't stay here for anyone, because I want to become an immortal, I want to live forever, I want to see the scenery of this world..."

Before Wang Jue finished speaking, he felt the warmth in his arms. He looked at the tearful person in his arms, and his heart was actually shaken. But his determination to seek immortality made him feel refreshed. He couldn't give up his bright future just for the short-lived beauty, but he was unwilling to do so. This woman was so beautiful that he couldn't bear to let her go.

"Wang Jue, I don't need you to be responsible. I just want to spend a good night with you. Let's just regard it as a beautiful memory we leave behind." Nie Ying smiled foolishly.

Wang Jue felt the beauty's intentions, and the emotions in his heart suddenly surged like a raging sea. He always felt that if he gave up this time, he might regret it for the rest of his life.

The red candle is blown out, and there is a night of wind and rain.

The next day, Wang Jue woke up and Nie Ying was gone. There were only a few strands of long hair tied up on his desk and a piece of paper with the words "Please don't forget" written on it. Wang Jue got dressed, put away his long hair, walked out of the attic, and flew away on his sword. Not long after he left, a beautiful figure appeared in the attic and looked in the direction he left.

………………

Wang Jue returned to Huangfeng Valley, he was a little absent-minded, and then he went into seclusion to improve his proficiency. He wanted to break through to the Jindan stage quickly, because he knew the time for the full-scale invasion of the demons was not far away. He only hoped that by then he would have more power to protect himself, so that he would be safer even if he had to run away.

Time began to pass quickly again, and four years went by in a flash. Wang Jue looked at the numbers on the proficiency panel with some helplessness. He had worked hard for four years, but he was still one-third away from breaking through to the Jindan stage. His other magical skills had reached their current peak. In terms of combat power, he was definitely not inferior to those elders in the early stage of Jindan.

“It seems that I still have to get some opportunities and cannot rely entirely on the golden finger. If I had infinite life and was in an extremely safe environment, I wouldn’t have these worries.” Wang Jue thought silently.

Suddenly, a message flew in front of Wang Jue. He used his spiritual consciousness to hear the voice of his master Li Huayuan: "Wang Jue, it's not a good idea for you to be in seclusion every day. We cultivators still have to go out on missions to improve our combat experience and our state of mind. This will be beneficial in the future. Come to my cave now. I have good things waiting for you."

After listening to Li Huayuan's message, Wang Jue had a strange expression on his face. His master was actually a very lazy person and adopted a laissez-faire approach towards his disciples. However, Wang Jue was looking forward to the good things that Li Huayuan said. He wondered if there were any good spells or magic weapons.

When Wang Jue arrived at Li Huayuan's cave, he unexpectedly saw Han Li, whom he had not seen for a long time. Han Li also had a puzzled look on his face at this time. When Wang Jue asked, he found out that Han Li was also called by Li Huayuan. This gave Wang Jue a bad feeling.

After the cave door opened, Wang Jue and Han Li walked in together. Then they found that in addition to Li Huayuan, there was actually a beautiful woman dressed as a Taoist nun. Next to this woman stood a charming young girl. The Taoist nun's cultivation was obviously at the Jindan stage, while the girl had just broken through to the foundation-building stage not long ago.

Wang Jue seemed to have guessed the identities of the two women at this time, but he was not completely sure. After Li Huayuan introduced them, Wang Jue looked at the mother and daughter in front of him with some curiosity. The Taoist nun was Hong Fu, the object of Li Huayuan's secret love when he was young, and the girl was Dong Xuaner, the illegitimate daughter of the old demon Hehuan.

"Hongfu, these are the two disciples I like the most. This is Wang Jue, who has already reached the peak of foundation building at a young age and has a good chance of forming a golden core in the future. This is Han Li, don't be fooled by his ordinary looks, he has a great affinity with becoming an immortal, and he is also honest and decent. What do you think of him?" Li Huayuan introduced them to Hongfu with a smile.

When Hong Fu heard Li Huayuan say that Wang Jue's cultivation had reached the peak of foundation building, she looked at Wang Jue in surprise. They did not have this level of cultivation when they were Wang Jue's age. Moreover, the magic power fluctuations emanating from Wang Jue were steady and heavy, which was obviously the result of his hard work. It seemed that he was also a man with a firm heart towards the Tao.
