I Alone Am Immortal: My Rebirth and Leisurely Cultivation

Chapter 292 Lying will prevent you from ever eating meat again.
Amidst their laughter and conversation, they had already passed through a day.

After passing through the mountain pass gate and descending the slope to cross the Huixian Bridge, the view gradually opens up, and the real mountain climbing journey begins.

At first, they simply climbed, following the flow of people.

The smell of sweat and perfume mingled around me was more prominent than the fresh air of the forest.

Upon reaching the Second Heavenly Gate, one can see the precipitous mountain scenery and overlook the surrounding mountains.

Li Yan and his two companions stood in front of the Ming Dynasty stone gate tower, looking down and taking a sip of water.

"I thought there would be fewer people after we came up, but I didn't expect there to still be so many people." Mei Mengqian's eyes darted around the gatehouse.

Although the scenery was nice, the crowds blocked the view, there were children screaming, and I didn't have a good experience with the shouts of some company team-building event.

"We're only at the Second Heavenly Gate, and we've already surpassed 80% of the people! Keep climbing, everyone. We'll rest when we reach the Golden Summit. The strong never complain about their surroundings!"

The person who appeared to be the leader spoke, and a few people in the group shouted a few times, and the dozen or so people started to move like zombies.

"Yes! That's right. Don't be like those lazy young people who get tired after walking just a few steps and need to drink water!"

Mei Mengqian silently put down the water bottle. Hua Junshu remained unmoved, but Jiang Yingzhu would not swallow her anger.

"Shabi! Damn it!"

Hearing this, Mei Mengqian blushed slightly, feeling that her words were a bit vulgar.

"Zhuzhu, aren't you worried they'll hear us?"

"What's there to be afraid of? How would they know who I'm talking about? If they try to identify themselves, it only proves they deserve it."

Jiang Yingzhu tossed the bottle into her backpack with a flick of her wrist and hummed twice.

"Mengmeng, if you're feeling uncomfortable, it's because there's something filthy inside. Just let it out and it'll all be clean. Right, senior?"

"I don't know." Hua Junshu shook his head. "I'm not good at swearing."

"Let's go, or we'll really become lazy young people." Li Yan withdrew his gaze from observing the world and stepped forward.

At a speed of four, they soon surpassed the group that had participated in the previous team-building activity.

"So weak!"

As she passed by, Jiang Yingzhu couldn't resist making a sarcastic remark.

The small company leader heard this, glanced at him, but his overweight physique made climbing mountains difficult enough, let alone supporting him to do any other activities.

Wiping the sweat from his brow, the junior leader grumbled and cursed.

"Hey! These young people these days have no respect at all! And the Organization Department, who suggested climbing Wudang Mountain? Next team building activity, let's make it more relaxing."

The assistant next to him asked in confusion, "Mr. Zhang, isn't it said that strong people don't complain about their environment?"

"What kind of strongman am I? At most, I'm just a cockroach." Mr. Zhang gasped for breath. "I not only complain about the environment, but I also complain about the strongmen."

Li Yan smirked as he spoke, thinking, "This guy's thinking is pretty ahead of his time."

After the Second Heavenly Gate, there were relatively fewer people. Mei Mengqian took photos and notes along the way, leaving Jiang Yingzhu completely confused.

"Mengmeng, why are you taking these pictures? Just look at them."

"Zhuzhu, we've been away for three days, and you haven't even touched your holiday homework," Mei Mengqian said earnestly.

"Especially the weekly journal entries for Chinese language."

The Chinese homework consisted of three test papers and an essay, but the homeroom teacher added two weekly journal entries.

Because I had a five-day holiday, I need to write two articles.

Reminded by her, Jiang Yingzhu suddenly remembered, then forgot it a second later, and slapped Mengmeng on the shoulder.

"Don't think about those things when you're out having fun!"

"Doing less homework only results in a minor punishment from the teacher, but not playing during the holidays is a huge loss!" Jiang Yingzhu said with certainty.

As the sun began to set, Li Yan followed Jiang Yingzhu and the other two to the Golden Summit.

First, visit and take photos of the Hall of Supreme Harmony and the scenery atop the golden roof.

Only then did they head to the Golden Top VIP Building that Jiang Yingzhu had booked.

It wasn't easy for her to book this place for the May Day holiday, so there were only two rooms available.

"We girls will share one room, the other one is yours," Jiang Yingzhu said to Li Yan at the registration desk.

"It's an advantage for you."

Upon hearing this, Li Yan nodded.

"In that case, to be fair, you'll send someone to sleep with me?"

"shameless!"

"It's a beautiful thought."

"No."

Li Yan shrugged and pointed at Jiang Yingzhu.

"See? This isn't what you want: fairness."

Jiang Yingzhu was too lazy to argue with this guy. After climbing the mountain for three hours, even if you have good stamina, you would still sweat.

He pulled Mengmeng and his senior back to their room.

Li Yan had a luxurious room with a view all to himself.

He scanned the two rooms with his divine sense and checked them to confirm that they were safe.

He cast a spell to remove the dirt from his body, surrounded by spiritual energy, and enveloped in an invisibility barrier before taking flight.

As he flew to an altitude of a thousand meters, Li Yan's eyes were shrouded in a strange light as he looked down.

Piercing through the clouds and mist, their gazes surveyed the flow of spiritual energy throughout the mountains and rivers.

Due to human activities, the spiritual energy center of Wudang Mountain is not located at Tianzhu Peak, but has shifted to a deep mountain area.

Once he found the location, Li Yan flew there.

He landed in a place that resembled a primeval jungle and looked around.

It is said to be the center of spiritual energy, but there are no rare flowers, exotic plants, or rare treasures here.

At most, the trees are tall and the grass is deep, and all of them are old and long-lived.

The spiritual energy on Earth is thin; this level of spiritual nourishment is not as effective as the spirit-gathering array used on the cherry tree in front of his house.

Li Yan shook his head and pointed his fingers like a sword. A crystalline light shimmered and gradually brightened.

Then, he drew lines of spiritual energy in the air, imprinting them down. Half an hour later, he finally finished imprinting the Great Dao runes in his mind.

After making the final stroke, he stood there, observing the changes.

At the same time, he focused his mind on the spiritual energy display in the system, not even bothering to check the rewards for completing the task. Another quarter of an hour passed, and Li Yan sensed no change whatsoever, neither through his divine sense nor his five senses.

On the contrary, he himself comprehended some spatial techniques after imprinting the Great Dao runes.

Li Yan opened his palm, and the spiritual energy surging within drew silver magical runes. The next moment, a used towel appeared in his hand.

It smells nice and is a little moist.

"Took the wrong one."

Li Yan returned the towel and retrieved Jiang Yingzhu's phone.

Retrieving objects remotely.

This was a part of the spatial mysteries he had comprehended, and a smile appeared on Li Yan's face.

Although this understanding only allows him to make some minor moves, he can now finally make the storage ring he has been looking forward to.

In the past, when Li Yan was refining artifacts, he would use the artifact provided by the system as a basis to extrapolate the creation of other artifacts.

He also tried to possess a basic piece of equipment for cultivators—a storage ring.

But all attempts failed. After that dream, he learned the relevant knowledge and realized that the involvement of spatial power was necessary.

Thinking of this, Li Yan couldn't wait any longer, so he hurriedly returned to the hotel.

He had just lit incense when there was a knock on the door. The three women, who had just washed up, were gathered outside the door, wondering what they wanted.

"Bang bang bang!"

"Li Yan, open the door quickly!"

First, we can rule out that they're just there to warm the bed.

Li Yan thought to himself, then got up to open the door.

"What are you doing?"

He glanced at the three neatly dressed men, noting that only their hair was wet.

"Do you want me to blow-dry your hair?"

"We'll play it later." Jiang Yingzhu pushed him into the room, and Mei Mengqian and Hua Junshu followed in one after another, closing the door behind them.

Only then did Jiang Yingzhu say mysteriously:
"I feel like there's a ghost in our room!"

"Why do you say that, my dear?"

Li Yan wiped away his sweat discreetly. Oh no, I've become a ghost!

"I'm not kidding you." Jiang Yingzhu frowned and hit him lightly.

"After I took a shower, I was putting away the towels and found one was missing. Then I turned around and it floated out again. Mengmeng saw it from the bedroom door. It really did float out and hang on the wall!"

Li Yan smirked, put his hands in his pockets, and handed Jiang Yingzhu's phone back.

"and then?"

"And then I couldn't find my phone again!"

Jiang Yingzhu's expression was grave. "Senior Mengmeng and I searched the entire house, but we couldn't find it!"

"It must have been taken by a ghost to play with, and it won't return it even when we call it."

Shout it!?
Li Yan looked at Jiang Yingzhu's forehead with a strange expression, thinking that he should try to recall if he had ever learned about pills that could improve intelligence.

"Really? Then let's go check out."

"No need." Jiang Yingzhu shook her head, a shy look suddenly appearing on her usually generous face. Mengmeng and her senior also lowered their heads in embarrassment.

Upon seeing this, Li Yan was taken aback and stroked his chin.

"...emmmm, does that mean he can sleep with me now?!"

"Bang bang bang!"

Three fists landed on Jiang Yingzhu and the other two, but they remained expressionless. However, they were subtly speechless.

"I don't think this guy has any good ideas. He shouldn't have pretended!"

Jiang Yingzhu said something to Mengmeng and her senior, and the two of them sighed.

"Let's just say it. We'll switch rooms. You can stay over there. We just stayed there, so it's lively now."

"Six!" Li Yan was speechless. "You're afraid of ghosts, so you want me to stay here? Am I that scary?"

"That thing doesn't seem bad; it seems quite mischievous."

Jiang Yingzhu paused for a moment, then continued, "It's inconvenient for us girls."

Li Yan was also shocked by her imagination. He had cultivated immortality and had never seen such a thing.

However, since it was still his own doing, Li Yan nodded, but still tried to defend himself.

I think we can.

Before he could finish speaking, the three women said in unison, "I'm going to do it."

"Can't!"

With a shrug, Li Yan picked up his bag and checked into the room next door.

Jiang Yingzhu and the other two followed behind, carrying their own belongings.

As expected, Jiang Yingzhu saw her phone.

"Hey, it's back!"

"I think you're just being paranoid; you've probably forgotten where you put your phone."

"Impossible! I watched it disappear with my own eyes!"

"A liar will never eat meat in his entire life," Li Yan emphasized, glancing at her sideways. "Say that again?"

"I didn't find it anyway."

Li Yan waved, and Jiang Yingzhu, not entirely convinced, left with Mengmeng and her senior.

A short while later, perhaps in an attempt to save face.

Li Yan received several QQ messages.

It was all Jiang Yingzhu's nagging, saying he was unclean and that the bathroom was useless.

Li Yan ignored him, extended his divine sense, and enveloped the town at the foot of the mountain, retrieving the carving knife remotely.

He whittled a piece of wood imbued with spiritual energy from the mountain and began crafting a storage ring.
