Chapter 119 No Immortal Fate
Looking at the spot Shen Baisu pointed to, Xia Yanqing asked earnestly, "I wonder if there's any trick to choosing a location?"

Shen Baisu: "The talent I tested last night was wood spirit root. The wood spirit energy over there is abundant, making it the most suitable place for people with wood spirit roots to cultivate."

The reason for choosing the agricultural research institute's experimental base as the teaching location is because the area is rich in wood spiritual energy, especially the field where trees are planted, which has the richest spiritual energy and is an excellent teaching site.

If they can induce Qi into their bodies as soon as possible, Shen Baisu can end his teaching career sooner, so he naturally wants to choose the best venue.

Hearing Shen Baisu's words, Xia Yanqing's eyes slowly filled with doubt, "Wood elemental power? Wood elemental root?"

Xia Yanqing had seen both of these terms before; they were frequently mentioned in cultivation novels, but...

Do the things described in fantasy novels really exist in reality?

Shen Baisu noticed Xia Yanqing's confusion, so she also felt puzzled, "I thought you had guessed my identity, but it turns out you haven't?"

Xia Yanqing: ?

Identity? What identity?
Besides being the third young lady of the Shen family, you also have...

Yes, there's also the identity of a disciple from an unknown sect.

After witnessing Shen Baisu's abilities, Xia Yanqing knew that Shen Baisu was no ordinary person. Knowing that she had a sect, Xia Yanqing had guessed that her sect might be a secluded martial arts sect, but now it seemed that it was probably not as simple as just practicing martial arts.

So, Shen Baisu's sect is actually a cultivation sect written in the novel?

"Yan Qing, don't waste Teacher Su's time any longer. Teacher Su, now that we've chosen a location, let's go and start the class." After saying that, Xiao Qingfang pulled Shen Baisu towards the experimental field where the trees were planted.

Xiao Hanyang immediately followed suit, adding, "That's right! Time is life. The sooner we learn, the sooner we can save more lives."

And so, the group followed Shen Baisu directly past Xia Yanqing toward the experimental field filled with trees, and even Yu Yuan curiously joined in.

Xia Yanqing snapped out of his surprise and walked over there as well.

Although Shen Baisu mentioned wood spirit root and wood spirit power, and Xia Yanqing secretly guessed that Shen Baisu was a cultivator, he still couldn't quite believe it, because such a thing was inherently unbelievable.

You should know that he was a staunch materialist.

However, within ten minutes, Xia Yanqing had to accept the fact that Shen Baisu was a cultivator.

Because Shen Baisu really started teaching those nineteen people with wood spirit roots how to cultivate immortality.

However, they encountered difficulties right from the start.

After Shen Baisu finished teaching the theoretical knowledge, he asked everyone to start meditating and try to feel and absorb the spiritual energy.

Most people sat down as Shen Baisu instructed, and they began to close their eyes to feel the spiritual energy that Shen Baisu had mentioned, feeling an indescribable excitement in their hearts.

Most people felt that they were lucky to have such a good thing as cultivation; their ancestors must have been blessed with good fortune.

However, not everyone believes Shen Baisu.

"This is utter nonsense! Is this how you save Old Master Xiao? I think you've been fooled."

As everyone began to meditate, a middle-aged man spoke up with a cold expression.

Originally, the middle-aged man was full of expectations when he heard that he could learn a way to cure a heart attack, but after listening to Shen Baisu's teaching, he only felt that it was absurd.

He studied modern medicine his whole life and had never heard of anyone being able to save lives simply by meditating.

When Shen Baisu started explaining the theory of cultivation, he began to frown frequently, and he didn't really absorb much of what Shen Baisu was saying.

Seeing that everyone around him had started meditating, the man felt it was absurd and couldn't help but speak up.

Upon hearing the man's words, another person who shared his disbelief immediately stepped forward. "I think you're some kind of cult sent by some young lady, aren't you? Director Xia, I know you're from the Special Affairs Bureau, and I know you specialize in handling all sorts of special situations, but isn't this kind of thing a bit too outrageous? You actually believed it?"

“Yes, Director Xia, you’re still young. This girl is pretty, so it’s not surprising that you’ve fallen for her charms. But don’t let yourself be blinded by her. Everyone here today has important research tasks on their hands. If you run into problems because of your so-called cultivation, can you take responsibility for that?” Xia Yanqing frowned slightly upon hearing this.

However, he could understand why they didn't believe Shen Baisu, so he calmly said, "Whether she's lying or not, you might as well try it first. If she is lying..."

“If something goes wrong after the test, then we’re doomed.” The first man to speak interrupted Xia Yanqing, then looked at Xiao Qingfang and Xiao Hanyang, “Academician Xiao, do you even believe this young girl? Don’t be fooled.”

Xiao Hanyang opened his eyes shortly after closing them. "She saved my second brother. I believe her."

This was indeed hard to believe, but it was a fact that his second brother had been rescued, and he was willing to trust Xia Yanqing's ability to handle things, so he chose to believe Shen Baisu.

Seeing Xiao Hanyang close his eyes again, and Xiao Qingfang not even opening her eyes, the man moved his lips, but in the end swallowed his words of persuasion. He looked at Shen Baisu with hostility, "I recognize you, from the Shen family of Yaocheng, a rich young lady who chases after men all day long. You know how to cultivate immortality? Saving people is fake, isn't it? I don't know what tricks you used to deceive people."

Upon hearing this, Yu Yuan immediately said, "No, my grandfather and Elder Xiao were both saved by Bai Su. I saw it with my own eyes, and I can guarantee that Bai Su is definitely not a liar."

"Come on, I know your family and the Shen family have a long-standing relationship, and you and Shen Baisu are childhood sweethearts, so naturally you'll side with her."

Yu Yuan: "It's true that she and I are neighbors, but I wouldn't joke around with my grandfather's life, would I?"

The man scoffed, "Who knows?"

At this moment, Shen Baisu spoke calmly, "If you don't trust me and don't want to learn, you are free to leave. I'm not forcing you to stay."

Man: "You..."

"Fine, fine, you want to teach, but I don't want to learn yet."

As he spoke, the man looked around and then said to the crowd who had already closed their eyes and started doing as Shen Baisu had said, "Since you all trust this young girl so much, you should be careful. I won't keep you company any longer. Farewell."

After saying that, the man surnamed Huo turned and left.

"Director Huo." Xia Yanqing wanted to chase after him to persuade him to stay, but then he saw three more people saying goodbye to him.

"Director Xia, we're leaving too."

"Goodbye, Director Xia."

"Goodbye."

Four people left at once, and Xia Yanqing naturally wanted to persuade them to stay. However, she was stopped by Shen Baisu after taking only two steps. "Since they want to leave, let them go."

Xia Yanqing thought Shen Baisu was unhappy, so she turned to Shen Baisu and explained, "They are all staunch materialists and don't believe in these things at all. However, they really want to learn how to save people, so please don't take offense."

Seeing Xia Yanqing's sincere apology, Shen Baisu waved his hand, "I never took it to heart."

Xia Yanqing was secretly delighted, and then tentatively asked, "Then... if I persuade them to come back, Miss Shen, can you continue teaching them?"

Shen Baisu: "...I suggest you don't try to persuade me."

Xia Yanqing: ?

Shen Baisu: "The opportunity was right in front of them, but they refused it themselves. It seems they have no affinity for immortality. Even if we persuade them to come back, they probably won't go far on the path of cultivation."

That's just reason one. As for reason two, she didn't want to teach them.

Xia Yanqing: "...?"

Is there any other way to say this?
My feeling is that you don't want to teach them.

Of course, Xia Yanqing wouldn't voice his thoughts. He looked at Shen Baisu and said, "Originally, there should have been nineteen people who could learn, but now there are only fifteen left. I feel like I'm losing out."
