Chapter 31 First Steps into Starfall, Casual Training

After making a seven-day promise with Ayan, Lin Ye bid farewell to his sect and went alone to the place where the Starfall Secret Realm was opened, with his companion spirit pet, Star Ash, lying comfortably on his shoulder.

Xingjin is not an ordinary mountain fox, but a rare and ancient star spirit fox, possessing the bloodline of a top-tier spirit beast.

Although it was not fully awakened at this moment, it already showed its extraordinary nature: its whole body was covered with fluffy down like snow and jade, its body was small like a ball of warm down, a golden flame-shaped star pattern was embedded on its forehead, and its eyes were as clear as deep sea blue sapphires, with an indescribable nobility hidden in its liveliness.

Its body is always surrounded by faint starlight as fine as dust, and every move it makes causes the surrounding star power to tremble. It seems soft and harmless, but in fact it has a hidden pressure and is a true top-level spirit beast in the making.

It had not yet developed intelligence and could not speak, but it was very intelligent. It clung to Lin Ye's clothes the whole way, its little head rubbing against his neck from time to time, so obedient that it melted people's hearts.

Lin Ye was originally a food deliveryman in the mortal world, braving wind and rain to run through every street and alley. One day, he unexpectedly transmigrated and stepped into the world of Lingxiao Pavilion, a place of immortal cultivation.

Starting from a lowly outer sect servant, he rose through the ranks with an ingrained worker's tenacity, eventually reaching the inner sect. With the help of the inner sect's abundant star veins, he steadily broke through to the mid-stage of the Star Pivot Realm, his dantian star pivot becoming round and solid, his cultivation showing no signs of weakness.

Just as the sect's triennial Starfall Secret Realm opened, this blessed land exclusively for inner disciples, with its pure star power, abundant spiritual herbs, and numerous exotic beasts, was the perfect place for him to hone his skills and solidify his foundation.

His initial intention in entering the secret realm was extremely simple—not to rush to higher realms, not to seize opportunities, not to scramble or grab, but simply to train steadily and practically. He casually gathered some spiritual herbs, familiarized himself with the power of the Star Pivot, and, incidentally, carried out his "deliveryman-style steady and methodical approach" to the fullest extent. While others were racing against time to cultivate immortality, he cultivated like a deliveryman picking up orders along the way—unhurried, safe, and secure, for victory was his goal.

Deep down, he was still encouraging Ayan, who was fighting desperately against the outer sect, from afar:

While your master steadily progresses through the main storyline in the secret realm, you focus on achieving high performance in the outer sect. Seven days later, both master and disciple will submit perfect scores.

On the day the secret realm opened, the inner sect plaza was bathed in rosy light, and a star-colored light gate several meters high floated in mid-air, with stardust flowing and a halo of light exuding an ancient and profound aura. The waiting inner sect disciples were all eager and impatient, wishing they could plunge in and seize the treasures.

Among the crowd, only Lin Ye, dressed in a plain white inner robe, stood tall and composed, exuding an air of calm amidst the hustle and bustle.

Not far away, the eldest disciple Jiang Xubai stood with his hands behind his back, silently watching them go.

As a core member of the sect, his cultivation was unfathomable, and he had long since thoroughly explored the Starfall Secret Realm, so there was naturally no need for him to enter again this time. He only cast a look of approval and reassurance from afar, which served as a farewell gesture.

As for the eldest sister, the two were too familiar with each other, and a polite farewell would only make them feel distant, so she stayed in the sect to wait for his safe return.

With a single command from the sect, the Star Gate was completely stabilized.

The disciples rushed in like madmen, as if they were scrambling to run a long-distance mission, and in the blink of an eye, most of them had rushed in.

Lin Ye gently stroked Xing Jin's fur, as if soothing a small pet that wanted to run after the car, and stepped into the portal with unhurried steps.

The next moment, a gentle stellar energy enveloped his entire body, and the scene before him changed abruptly—

They had truly entered the Starfall Secret Realm.

Ancient trees reach for the sky, their branches covered with golden star patterns. The ground is covered with soft star sand, and the star power in the air is so dense that it feels like being enveloped in a layer of warm mist. Taking a deep breath, all the meridians in your body feel relaxed and comfortable.

Other disciples would have been sitting cross-legged, absorbing energy and frantically leveling up.

His first reaction wasn't to cultivate, but rather to subconsciously scan his surroundings, silently calculating in his mind:

With smooth road conditions, a wide field of vision, evenly distributed medicinal herbs, and a low risk factor, it can be described as a "perfect delivery route".

The starlight on his shoulder instantly perked up.

Its sapphire-like eyes widened, its little nose twitched slightly, the golden flame pattern on its forehead glowed faintly, and tiny starlight swirled around it, subtly emanating a top-tier spirit beast's aura. The previously restless insects and beasts around it instantly quieted down, and even the wind rustling the leaves seemed to soften.

Lin Ye chuckled: "Come on, let's not rush, take our time, and gather some materials along the way."

If the other disciples heard this, they would probably be shocked.

While others risk their lives in secret realms to seize opportunities, he, on the other hand, seems to be leisurely "running errands along the way and picking up trash along the way."

He strolled leisurely along the forest path, much like a food delivery driver familiar with the area. Star-patterned grass and star-shaped fruit were everywhere along the way. He picked the ones that looked good, his movements as natural as picking up food. He wasn't greedy or frantically picking; he only picked what he needed, adhering to a rational approach to stockpiling and avoiding any unnecessary competition.

Xingjin perched on his shoulder, pointing at the fruit and flowers with his little paws, humming and chirping like a living "high-end navigation accessory".

As we walked into an open area, several round, fluffy rabbits suddenly jumped out.

It looks cute and cuddly, but it actually has a fiery temper. It bared its teeth and pounced on Lin Ye's clothes.

Xingjin immediately lost his temper.

Its snow-white fur stood on end instantly, its small body taut and straight, and a faint trace of majesty flashed in its sapphire eyes. Although it didn't actually fight, a trace of pressure from the ancient star spirit fox quietly spread out, and the several ferocious rabbits froze on the spot, trembling all over. They lost all their ferocity and turned to flee in a panic.

Xingjin slowly hopped back onto Linye's shoulder, tilted his head back and nuzzled him, proudly seeking credit, his whole body sparkling like stars, as if asking for praise: Done, no big deal.

Lin Ye couldn't help but laugh.

This isn't a spirit pet; it's clearly a "top-tier guardian beast" that he brought with him after transmigrating.

But before he could enjoy a moment of peace, trouble came knocking on his door.

Three veteran inner disciples blocked the way, their faces arrogant. Seeing that Lin Ye was a newcomer and alone, they immediately demanded to snatch his storage bag, their tone extremely domineering.

"Newcomer, do you even know the rules? Hand over all your opportunities, kowtow and apologize, or you won't be leaving this forest alive!"

Lin Ye's eyes turned slightly cold.

In his past life, he delivered takeout; what kind of bizarre and difficult situations hadn't he encountered?

These kinds of people who rely on their seniority and bully newcomers are the most annoying.

Before he could make a move, Xingjin had already moved.

The little fluffball transformed into a streak of snow-white light, circling the three of them at incredible speed, leaving only a fleeting starlight shadow. It didn't need to bite or scratch; it merely emitted a slight aura of star spirit pressure, which caused the three of them to feel numb all over, weak in the limbs, and even unable to circulate their star power smoothly.

The three disciples instantly turned pale, flustered and their arrogance vanished.

Lin Ye seized the opportunity and gently released the power of the Star Pivot.

It's not ruthless, not fierce, and doesn't have any killer moves; it's just a steady and solid force, a gentle push.

Like a deliveryman steadily holding onto a bike handlebar that's about to tip over, gentle yet undeniably powerful.

The three of them were so shocked that they staggered backward, almost falling to the ground, filled with shock and fear.

They then realized:

This newcomer seems laid-back, but his foundation is frighteningly solid, and the little fox beside him is even more unfathomable.

The three men uttered a few harsh words and then slunk away.

Lin Ye patted his clothes, looking completely calm.

These are minor incidents, much less worrying than running a red light in a downpour while delivering food, customers rushing to deliver orders, or elevators getting stuck.

Xingjin bounced back onto his shoulder, nuzzling him triumphantly, as if to say: See, I've taken care of the troublemakers for you!

Lin Ye continued onward with it, finding a sheltered, dry, and safe star rock cave to rest.

The cave was clean, quiet, and undisturbed, making it a veritable "temporary delivery station" in a hidden paradise.

He sat down cross-legged, without frantically absorbing star power or attempting to break through to a higher realm. He simply circulated his cultivation technique naturally, like a deliveryman taking a short break to conserve his energy while waiting for food.

Cultivation requires stability and a solid foundation, just like delivering food—

Rushing things can easily lead to failure; a steady and methodical approach is the key to long-term success.

Xingjin nestled on his lap, curled into a soft ball of fur, his blue eyes closed, surrounded by twinkling starlight. Before long, he was fast asleep, sprawled out on his back, his little nose twitching gently, and he even smacked his lips in his dream, as if he were munching on a spirit fruit or pastry.

Lin Ye gazed at the setting sun outside the cave, the stardust tinged with warm gold, and a gentle breeze rustled through the forest.

He went from being a food deliveryman in the mortal world to a newly promoted inner disciple in the cultivation world; from having nothing to taking on a disciple, Ayan, and being accompanied by a spirit pet; from being looked down upon to standing firm on his own merits.

Along the way, what I relied on was not extraordinary talent or miraculous encounters, but the resilience of a working person ingrained in my bones.

No complaining, no giving up, no impatience, no infighting; just do the things at hand well, one step at a time.

While others cultivate immortality to defy fate and change their destiny, he only seeks a steady and pragmatic approach.

While others were exploring secret realms to advance to higher realms, he was "familiar with the routes and collecting items along the way."

Do not strive for breakthroughs, do not be greedy or demanding, just stay true to yourself and move forward steadily.

As night falls, the starry sky over the secret realm shines brightly.

Lin Ye closed his eyes and regulated his breathing, surrounded by the gentle warmth of starlight.

A lighthearted, heartwarming, and hilarious story about a delivery driver's journey to immortality, accompanied by a top-tier spirit beast, has only just begun.
