I Alone Am Immortal: My Rebirth and Leisurely Cultivation

Chapter 291 Making the best of a bad situation and letting things take their course

"Young man, you're finished. You've angered people to death."

"Yeah yeah!"

"Stop looking! Does anyone know first aid?!"

"Quickly notify the flight attendants!"

The middle-aged woman with a child in the front row turned around, glanced at the fat man, and started scolding the child.

"See? From now on, you should be like him, fearless and bold. That's what a real man should be like. If anything happens, Mom will take care of you."

Li Yan sat to the side, stroked his chin, and secretly released a wisp of spiritual energy to protect the old man's heart meridian.

After all, it was he who used his divine sense to trigger the conflict; he only wanted the position, not his life.

Not long after, the train attendant rushed over and searched the train for a long time, but couldn't find a doctor.

Fortunately, the next stop was approaching, and the old man and the fat man were taken away.

The auntie was too ashamed to sit there, so she didn't go out and just looked around.

Jiang Yingzhu's eyes lit up, and she immediately went up to strike up a conversation, managing to get the information about their destination in just a few words.

She noticed that someone had gotten off the bus earlier than her, but it didn't bother her; Jiang Yingzhu still changed seats.

"Hehe, I never expected things to turn out this way!"

Jiang Yingzhu sat contentedly by the window, took out a box of Zhou Hei Ya (a type of braised duck) and shared it with Mengmeng.

Although eating here is the same as eating in the previous carriage.

But in her mind, they were together, and how could they be so far apart?

Li Yan noticed with his divine sense that the fat man and the old man in the interrogation room would be asked to get off at the next stop, so he didn't remind them of anything further.

Hua Junshu witnessed the whole farce and suddenly turned to look at Li Yan.

"Do you think I should buy a car? I'm about to be a senior in high school, and I'll be able to get my driver's license soon."

Upon hearing this, Mei Mengqian and Jiang Yingzhu were also drawn to the news.

"Why do you suddenly want to buy a car?" Mei Mengqian asked curiously.

"It'll be more convenient," Hua Junshu said truthfully.

"I'll drive you guys out for fun then."

“No need, let Li Yanxue drive. He should be the one driving,” Jiang Yingzhu replied.

Li Yan thought for a moment, then suddenly said, "It's not impossible."

It's not that he can't drive; the only thing he lacks is a driver's license.

For most people, this is a difficult hurdle to overcome.

He's no ordinary person.

Without even needing to use any cultivation techniques, with the current resources of Qiqi Company, obtaining a driver's license is not a problem.

Even driving without a license is not prohibited.

Behind and in front of them, some passengers overheard a group of young men talking about buying a car and getting a driver's license, and they all found it amusing.

"Buying a car? At your age, you probably can't even afford the wheels. You're still spending your parents' money."

A man dressed like an elite white-collar worker touched his neatly styled hair.

"I graduated from a 985 university and have been working for three years as a store manager before I dare to say such a thing."

985. Fresh out of college, the moment the manager appeared, he seemed to be a natural magnet, instantly attracting the attention of a group of female colleagues around him.

Jiang Yingzhu pursed her lips, "Uncle, that's because you're too incompetent. Otherwise, how come someone as successful as you didn't have a single female companion during the May Day holiday? Or were you working overtime?"

"Using such words to attract young girls' attention is so outdated."

"You seem to have a tough life. You're already a manager, so your classmates must be more successful than you, right?"

Jiang Yingzhu had just eaten a honey-glazed chicken leg, and her little mouth was as sweet as if it had been coated with honey.

After he finished speaking, the elite white-collar man blushed and was speechless.

Li Yan silently gave a thumbs up. Sometimes he felt that it wasn't that he didn't like to talk.

Instead, he stayed by Zhuzhu's side and told her everything he wanted to say.

Two hours later, I got off at my stop.

Jiang Yingzhu arranged everything for this trip, so Li Yan didn't have to do anything.

Jiang Yingzhu looked at Mei Mengqian and her senior from the roadside outside the station.

"Mengmeng, seniors, are you tired? If not, let's go hiking on Wudang Mountain. We should reach the top around dusk, so we can stay overnight at the Golden Summit and watch the sunrise the next morning."

"Not tired." The two shook their heads.

Li Yan, who was following slowly behind the three women, asked in confusion, "Why didn't you ask me?"

"We girls aren't tired, so why are you, a guy, tired?"

Li Yan thought for a moment, "It's not that it won't be tiring, for example..."

Before he could finish speaking, Jiang Yingzhu interrupted him, "If you dare to say anything inappropriate, I'll refund your ticket and you can wait in jail yourself."

Li Yan shut up.

What's going on? His childhood sweetheart has installed a surveillance camera in his head!
···
The light green taxi drove through the path lined with ancient cypress trees, the lush greenery contrasting beautifully with the industrial steel.

Through the side window, Li Yan could see the Dragon Head Stone, known as the "Number One Fragrance in the World," faintly visible on the cliff edge in the distance on Wudang Mountain.

It has more of the mystery of a divine dragon and the reclusive charm of Taoism.

It is now the third day of the May Day holiday.

However, Nanyan Palace was still packed with people, bustling with noise.

The tour group's small red flags fluttered and danced with the hems of the Hanfu-clad girls.

The four watched the girl in Hanfu walk away. Li Yan pointed to the tour guide wearing a headset.

They exchanged a glance, then quietly followed, entering Nanyan Palace to eavesdrop on the guided tour.

"Sure enough, this person is full of bad intentions."

"Yes, that's right."

"Correct!"

Li Yan rolled his eyes. "If you're so capable, then don't follow us."

“I’ll go with it!” Jiang Yingzhu glared at him.

Amidst the commotion, we arrived before the stone inscription "Fu Shou Kang Ning" (福寿康宁), written by Emperor Chengzu of the Ming Dynasty.

There were so many people here that Li Yan had to use a dispelling spell to make it a little quieter.

"Shall we take a picture here?"

"can."

"I'll stand in the middle."

After Li Yan finished speaking, he received a few eye rolls, but he got what he wanted.

After saying "cheese," Li Yan took the phone back from the passing middle-aged woman. Hua Junshu looked at him with some confusion. "Why didn't you ask the young people over there? They should know how to use a phone better."

“Of course, but the older woman is probably better at using a camera.” Li Yan flipped through the photos and showed them to her.

Then Jiang Yingzhu took it.

"It really is."

"I want to take a picture of myself alone. Li Yan, you take it for me."

"Row."

So Li Yan took her phone and saw her strike a somewhat awkward Tai Chi starting pose in front of the stone carving.

People passing by were attracted.

Jiang Yingzhu didn't take it seriously and instead slowly started drawing circles.

Someone knowledgeable in Tai Chi pointed out, "The young lady made a mistake."

"Sir, I'm just going with the flow and letting things take their course."

There was another burst of laughter.

Li Yan immediately switched from taking photos to recording videos, adding another layer of Xiao Qingmei's hilarious antics.

Mei Mengqian had long since distanced herself from Jiang Yingzhu and was standing with Hua Junshu, far away from Li Yan.

Pretend you don't know them.

"Zhu Zhu is really something."

Mei Mengqian felt like she could dig open the mountain beneath her feet.

After Jiang Yingzhu finished performing a set of wild punches, she boasted to others that Li Yan had taught her that style.

He was immediately pulled away by Li Yan.

"What are you doing? I need to prove that there's a reason I'm an amateur!"

"Heh, do you believe it or not, there's a reason why you became a viral sensation in the Bilibili parody section?"

Li Yan sneered.

Jiang Yingzhu scratched her head as she recalled those bizarre and absurd videos.

After leaving Nanyan Palace, they began to climb the steps to Chaotian Palace, which is also the fork in the mountain climbing route.

The bustling crowd splits into two streams here, corresponding to Qing Shendao and Ming Shendao respectively.

"Go this way!"

Jiang Yingzhu looked left and right. The blue stone steps of the Ming Shen Path on the right were like a suspended ladder to heaven, almost vertically plunging into the clouds and mist, while the Qing Shen Path on the left was as gentle as a ribbon.

So she chose the Myojin Path on the right.

Why this way?

Mei Mengqian was curious. She wasn't afraid of being tired, but she felt that Zhu Zhu was very familiar to her.

"It looks fun. I looked up some travel guides online. The scenery here is beautiful."

Li Yan glanced at Xiao Qingmei.

He had never been here in his previous life, but his roommate had.

He explained that the sacred path is steeper and has more steps than the Qing sacred path, so it takes longer and is relatively more difficult.

Keep it simple, climbing is more tiring!
That suits Xiao Qingmei's personality perfectly.

If you're going to play, play something more exciting.

What would take an average person four or five hours to reach was not difficult for the four people with extraordinary physical abilities.

The four were strikingly good-looking, and they passed by one by one the passersby.

Li Yan suddenly thought of that dream and couldn't help but feel a little strange.

This scene is like two people climbing the Great Road together, surrounded by passersby who have been left behind.

Despite his current level of cultivation, Li Yan still hasn't grasped the so-called "Great Dao" described in cultivation novels.

Suddenly, the system that had been dormant in his mind for a long time, which he had almost used as a cultivation tool, popped up a message.

[Travel Mission: Important node detected. Please observe the spiritual energy of this place, find the central point, and inscribe the Great Dao runes.]

[Task Reward: Qi-Building Pill Recipe]

Li Yan narrowed his eyes as a mysterious and incomprehensible rune appeared in his mind. Although he could not find anything unusual about it upon close inspection.

But the mysterious feeling that I had when I first saw it also disappeared.

It's just like an ordinary doodle.

'Great Dao runes? What are they for?!'

Li Yan was puzzled and asked him to use the Qi Observation Technique to find the imprint of the spiritual energy center.

They wouldn't expect him to usher in an era of spiritual energy revival, would they? He certainly wouldn't want that.

The system remained unresponsive despite several attempts to communicate with it in the mind. On the other hand, the intention to continue exploring the Great Dao Rune received feedback.

[Fragment of the Great Dao Rune: Imprinted in the core of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, it can awaken the Great Dao]

Which is the Great Way?
A thought popped into Li Yan's mind, and then he shook his head. He had really been infected by Jiang Yingzhu.

However, it seems that it is not impossible to complete this task.

Let's see how the branding will change.

It doesn't seem to be used for any kind of spiritual energy revival.

Moreover, Li Yan also really wanted the recipe for the Qi-accumulating pill.

Qi-storing pills are used to store spiritual energy for cultivation and can be seen as a substitute for spirit stones.

Blue Star has no spirit stones, and its spiritual energy is pitifully weak, so Li Yan plans to use himself as a booster.

There are too many benefits to cultivating immortality. In any case, it is good that his parents and those around him can be led onto this path.

"Hey, hey, hey, what are you thinking about? You're falling behind? Are you even capable, Li Yan?!"

Which man could tolerate this?

Li Yan immediately overtook Jiang Yingzhu and gave her a disdainful look.

"I was just letting you have your way, and you're getting all smug about it."

"Let's have a race to see who can climb the fastest!" Jiang Yingzhu, her infectious enthusiasm for climbing from elementary school students, suggested.

"Okay."

Li Yan agreed, glancing sideways with a half-smile, "You chase me, you catch me, and I'll let you have your way with me."

"Get lost! Shameless!" Jiang Yingzhu said defiantly, refusing to continue the competition.

"siskin!"

boom!
Mei Mengqian and Hua Junshu watched calmly as Li Yan took a punch.

There are reasons why some people get beaten up.
