One of my fairy-like friends

My Fairy Fellow Daoist Author: Our Fantasy Land

Summary:

Why did I cultivate immortality? My purpose in cultivating immortality was for you. In my eyes, you were once so dazzling, pure and untouched by worldly concerns, an ideal I would strive to reach at all costs. I wanted to catch up with you, to repay your kindness, and if I could, I would even want to marry you. But that was destined to be a fruitless pursuit... at least, that's what I used to think. But now, I've given up that unattainable fantasy, and as I face a new life, you've found me again, telling me how incredibly foolish you were, ignoring my feelings.

Chapter One: Yutaishan

Yutai Mountain, on the edge of Dongzhou.

Yutai Mountain is surrounded by spiritual energy, with pleasant air. Several medium-sized islands float in the sky, connected only by a few iron chains. It is unknown what kind of great power supports them. The islands are lush with flowers and plants, like a fairyland on earth. They are right in front of you, yet they feel like a mirage with an illusory color.

Yutai Blessed Land is located on Yutai Mountain, hence its name.

Yutai Blessed Land is a well-known blessed land in the area. Many nobles and kings in the mortal world send their children here. If their children can cultivate immortality, it can bring about earth-shattering changes in the fate of the entire family.

In this world, there is an insurmountable gap between cultivators and mortals. Even the lowest level of cultivators can easily annihilate mortals, while the most powerful cultivators can move mountains and fill seas, and even pluck stars from the sky.

On the stone path halfway up the mountain, a little girl clung to the boy beside her, her hands tightly wrapped around his arm, her voice sweet and adorable.

"A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step... Senior Brother Mingyan, how exactly can one open the body's spring? I've tried many times according to what's written in the book, but I still can't grasp the trick. How did you do it back then?"

The girl looked to be only six or seven years old, as cute and charming as a finely crafted porcelain doll. The boy next to her looked to be only about fifteen years old, with long black hair and a heroic air about him. Although he was young, he gave people a very reliable feeling.

“Mengli, I know you have reached the Yongquan Realm. I heard about it from Master earlier.”

"Then why isn't Senior Brother praising me? Humph, Senior Brother doesn't care about me at all." Meng Li snorted. "But I won't hold it against Senior Brother. As long as Senior Brother accompanies me down the mountain to stroll through the market and buys me two strings of candied hawthorns, that's enough!"

Although she looks petite, the girl, known as Mengli or Liu Mengli, is actually eight years old and has already embarked on the path of cultivation.

"Senior brother still needs to go out to gather herbs later. I'll accompany you to the market later, okay?" Although Mingyan felt helpless, he really couldn't do anything about this little girl. His master had a daughter late in life and doted on her immensely. If he knew that he had said something harsh to the little girl, he would probably be made to stand in a horse stance for a week.

"Let's go now!" Liu Mengli grabbed Ming Yan's arm and shook it, muttering in protest.

“Going to gather herbs is Master’s idea. Mengli, be good. Senior Brother will be back soon.” Mingyan gently patted Liu Mengli’s head with his other hand and said softly.

Liu Mengli pouted, gave a heavy snort, and let go of Mingyan's hand. "Then Senior Brother must come back before dark, otherwise I will tell Daddy that Senior Brother stood me up."

“No…” Mingyan nodded. “When has your senior brother ever lied to you?”

Liu Mengli gave a soft snort, stared at Ming Yan for a while, and then turned and ran away.

Ming Yan breathed a sigh of relief. Liu Mengli was cute, but she was too clingy...

Just a year ago, when he first arrived at Yutai Blessed Land, Liu Mengli was still a quiet, reserved girl who didn't even want to talk much.

Come to think of it, it's already been a year since I came here...

Mingyan is 16 years old this year. A year ago, in the year 1500 of the Qingzi calendar, he came to Yutai Blessed Land and became the first disciple of Elder Liu Yunfeng of Yutai Blessed Land, officially stepping into the immortal sect.

In fact, starting to cultivate immortality at the age of 15 is already considered old. The best age to begin cultivating immortality is under 10 years old. After 10 years old, it is very difficult to enter the field and step into the first step of cultivating immortality – the Yongquan stage.

Because if one hasn't started cultivating by the age of ten, as they grow older, their body becomes increasingly unable to interact with the spiritual energy in the air, making cultivation difficult. Even if they manage to enter the first level of the Spring-Gathering Realm, they will find it difficult to advance any further.

However, Mingyan has a special physique that is very suitable for cultivating immortality. Although his master Liu Yunfeng could not figure out his physique, Mingyan did not seem to have the problem of being too old, and his cultivation speed was much faster than that of ordinary people.

Not only did he complete the "Spring Draw" technique and enter the immortal realm in his first week in Yutai Blessed Land, but he also stepped into the second stage of cultivation, the Accumulation Realm, half a year ago. Such a speed of cultivation is among the best in the entire Yutai Blessed Land. Therefore, his master, Liu Yunfeng, also liked him very much and intended to let his daughter, Liu Mengli, get in touch with Mingyan. It was so obvious that the other elders laughed that Liu Yunfeng wanted to groom Mingyan to be his son-in-law.

But Mingyan has his heart set on Mingyue, not to mention that Liu Mengli is only eight years old now...

"Elder Li, I have come down the mountain to collect herbs on the orders of my master, Liu Yunfeng, and I am here to register." Ming Yan arrived at the Ming Shi Hall at the foot of the mountain and found Elder Li, who was in charge of the affairs there.

Yutai Blessed Land has very strict management of its disciples. No one may leave the mountain without permission or registration. Therefore, Mingyan must register and be verified before he can leave the mountain gate.

"Yes, your master has already given you instructions. When you go to the vicinity of Dragon Ridge, remember not to go too deep. It's fraught with danger. Come back as soon as you've finished gathering the herbs and don't linger there." Elder Li was an old man with white hair. His actual age was unknown, but Mingyan had heard his master, Liu Yunfeng, say that Elder Li already looked like this when he first arrived at Yutai Blessed Land. Although Liu Yunfeng looked like a middle-aged man, he was actually over sixty years old. He only looked middle-aged because of his profound cultivation and greatly extended lifespan. Therefore, it was clear that Elder Li was probably over a hundred years old. His cultivation was unfathomable, and he was probably second only to the sect leader in terms of cultivation level in the blessed land.

"This disciple understands." Mingyan nodded, registered, and then left the mountain gate.

Longling is a continuous mountain range near Yutaishan. Legend has it that an ancient dragon died here and eventually formed this mountain range. However, due to the great distance, it is impossible to verify whether it happened tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of years ago.

Even for cultivators whose lifespans have increased dramatically, their lifespan is only a few thousand years at most, while for ordinary mortals, tens of thousands of years is far too distant.

Moreover, although cultivators exist in this world, dragons are something that has only been heard of in legends, and it seems that no one has ever seen one in person, so their authenticity is highly doubtful.

It didn't take Mingyan long to reach the outer edge of Dragon Ridge.

Before coming to Yutai Fudi, he was a hunter in the village. Because of his excellent physical condition since childhood, he started hunting as a hunter in the village at the age of 12. Although some changes caused him to leave the village in the end, his past experience as a hunter was still there. It was not difficult for him to just pick some herbs.

Before today, Mingyan had actually visited Longling several times. In the forests surrounding Longling, there grows a medicinal herb called Dragon Blood Flower, which usually blooms in summer. It has five petals, which are bright red and look like fresh blood. It has no fragrance and has a faint fishy smell. Because it grows in Longling, it is named Dragon Blood Flower.

Dragon blood flower is a good ingredient for making medicine. Some pills used for healing and strengthening the body in Yutai Blessed Land require this herb, but the harvesting season has passed. I wonder if he can still find some dragon blood flowers.

Speaking of which, it's so quiet today. Longling is unusually quiet, which Mingyan finds rather strange.

Dragon Ridge is home to many animals and ferocious beasts. In the past, visitors here could often hear the calls of birds and beasts, but today, it is eerily quiet...

The hunter's experience told Mingyan that this was not a good omen...

However, with his current cultivation level of the Accumulation Realm, he could handle most ferocious beasts or even ordinary beasts. Ming Yan became more vigilant and stepped into the forest.

The sense of quiet was not Mingyan's illusion. After entering the forest, Mingyan could feel the silence even more. He carefully and cautiously observed his surroundings while searching for the Dragon Blood Flower.

It was already late summer, and the flowering season for dragon blood flowers had passed. Moreover, Yutai Fudi had previously organized a picking event, so they could only try their luck to see if they could find a single flower.

Just as Mingyan was on guard while searching for the Dragon Blood Flower, a deafening dragon roar came from the depths of Dragon Ridge. An immense sense of pressure swept over him instantly, and Mingyan was directly pressed to the ground. He felt as if a mountain was pressing down on him, making it hard to breathe. The dragon roar made Mingyan dizzy and he didn't even have the strength to struggle to get up.

Before Mingyan could figure out what was happening, a second dragon roar followed, the angry roar resounding throughout the world, the violent pressure rendering Mingyan unable to move.

This is...? A dragon's roar?! Could it be that real dragons truly exist in this world?!

Mingyan was shocked. The roar that resounded throughout the world sounded just like the legendary dragon's roar, and he couldn't help but worry about his situation.

According to the legend, dragons are ancient creatures that can roam the world freely. Judging from these two dragon roars, it seems quite angry, and it is estimated that a single breath of dragon's breath could take its life.

Just as Mingyan was pondering how to escape the danger, a gentle force enveloped his body. Instantly, Mingyan felt the immense pressure that had been pressing down on him like Mount Tai vanish. Somewhat bewildered, he got up from the ground, not knowing what had happened. After thinking for a moment, he found a high place and looked around at the surrounding area.

He was horrified to see a colossal crimson dragon coiling in the sky. Mingyan suddenly realized that the theory of the dragon's corpse forming Dragon Ridge was entirely plausible, as it was truly enormous. The dragon's body filled the space between heaven and earth, like a towering mountain in the sky, obscuring the horizon and blocking out the light. The entire Dragon Ridge was shrouded in shadow. The crimson scales emitted a bewitching red glow, and the tentacles on either side of its head were extremely thick and long. Compared to it, Mingyan was as insignificant as a speck of dust. Mingyan had no doubt that those two tentacles could crush him. However, it seemed... to be struggling in great pain...?

Indeed, the crimson dragon seemed to be gripped by an invisible hand. It struggled desperately to break free, but all its efforts were in vain. It writhed in agony, the invisible hand holding it tightly, its tail lashing back and forth in the sky... Wait? Something seems to be flying this way? A small black dot suddenly appeared in Ming Yan's vision. It must have been swept away by the dragon's tail and flown this way.

What was that? Mingyan stared intently, and the small black dot got closer and closer, gradually becoming clearer... It looked like... a person? Before Mingyan could get a clear look, he discovered that the blood-red dragon in the sky had been crushed and exploded into countless blood-red fragments. As he stared in disbelief, a huge shockwave, accompanied by a blinding red light, swept in, and Mingyan was thrown into the air by the shockwave, then crashed to the ground and passed out.

The flying figure crashed with a loud bang not far from Ming Yan, creating a large crater.

Chapter Two: A Fairy Sister Fell From the Sky

When Mingyan woke up, it was getting late.

He got up from the ground, dusted himself off, and looked around.

He noticed a large crater had appeared not far from him. Mingyan hesitated for a moment, then walked to the edge of the crater and looked down. He saw a red figure lying in the crater. Could it be the figure he had seen flying towards him before he lost consciousness? He was really lucky that he hadn't been hit by it.

Upon closer inspection, he discovered that the person lying in the pit was a woman dressed in red. She had a beautiful face, a faint trace of blood at the corner of her mouth, and pale lips, suggesting that she had suffered a considerable injury.

If Mingyan wasn't mistaken, she was probably swept here by the dragon's tail. Could she be dead?

Mingyan hesitated for a moment, then jumped into the pit and checked the red-clad woman's breath.

She's still breathing? Mingyan was shocked. With just one sweep of the dragon's tail, Mingyan felt that even Yutaishan could have been swept away in an instant. How could she not be dead? What kind of deity is this?!

This made Mingyan hesitate: should he save her or not...?

There's no need to save her; she's not dead yet, so it seems like she doesn't need my help.

But if he didn't save her, seeing her lying in the pit with blood at the corner of her mouth, seemingly quite badly injured, made Mingyan feel very guilty.

And wouldn't saving someone actually bring trouble upon myself...?

Mingyan was silent for a while, recalling a past event... A year ago, wasn't he also saved by someone? She didn't know him either, but she also chose to save him... Since he wanted to follow in her footsteps and keep up with her pace, Mingyan couldn't bring himself to stand by and watch her die. Even if what he could do was very limited, he couldn't just leave her here unattended.

With this thought in mind, Mingyan made up his mind. He carried the unconscious woman on his back, climbed out of the pit, and placed her under a tree.

Looking at the sky, it was gradually darkening. A cool evening breeze was blowing in the late summer and early autumn. Maybe I should take her back to my sect? It's too dangerous to leave her out like this.

The woman showed no sign of waking up, so Mingyan couldn't ask for her opinion. He made his own decision, carried the woman on his back, and headed towards his sect.

At this moment, Yutai Blessed Land was very lively. Of course, people in Yutai Blessed Land could see the strange phenomenon that had just occurred above Dragon Ridge. The sect leader urgently summoned most of the elders to the council hall to discuss the matter, while the other disciples were discussing it among themselves. Only Elder Li and Mingyan's master, Liu Yunfeng, looked worried because Mingyan had not yet returned.
