A great adventure in the world of immortal cultivation

Jeanne: Let's go! I'm going to the gathering at the foot of the mountain to participate in the swordsmithing competition, and do some shopping!

Han Buli: Damn, my spirit stone!

Romeo: Joan of Arc, take me with you. I also want to go down the mountain to play with my teeth.

Joan of Arc: Sure, I’ll let you get the three swords I got yesterday at the rally.

Romeo: Hehe, then I have to dress up nicely~?

Xiao Huohuo: I feel sorry for the independent cultivators who are gathering together.

KP: By the way, Romeo, you still had 3 action points left yesterday, don’t forget to spend them.

Romeo: Come on, I want to practice magic, I want to go to the arena and flirt with others!

KP: (Pinching nose) So, after mastering the [Bewitching Spell], Romeo couldn't wait to come to the arena to show his prowess. But because of your notorious reputation, everyone avoided you, and in the end, Romeo could only go crazy facing the wooden stake for a whole day.

Romeo: Not impossible.

罗密欧:灵气值，【1d20:18】*0.6（炼气6层10％）

仙术成功率，【1d10:10】*0.6（惑心咒74％）

Romeo: Quack! What a thick stake! It's so powerful!

KP: It’s against the will of heaven.

……

KP: So, on the morning of the 45th day, Joan of Arc, who had not slept all night, came to the mountain gate square and happened to meet Romeo, who had nothing to do. The two of them walked together and went to the gathering of casual practitioners at the foot of the mountain.

Romeo: KP, can I have a cross-dressing session on the way down the mountain?

KP: Yes, but you only have one chance.

Romeo: Cross-dressing, 60/60, success.

Romeo: Great! I want to be Joan of Arc's mother.

Joan of Arc:?

KP: Well, since it happened suddenly, Romeo didn't have the chance to do anything tricky this time. He simply disguised himself as a charming young woman with a star-like appearance. Standing next to Joan of Arc, they looked like a mother and daughter with a huge difference in size. The scene was quite heartwarming.

Joan of Arc: ???

Xiao Huohuo: Happy.

KP: After walking for over an hour, you followed Elder Xu's instructions and successfully discovered the gathering of independent cultivators in a narrow mountain corridor. It was like a secular temple fair, though not as bustling as the usual crowds, but it offered a wide variety of vendors, authentic food restaurants, and alchemy and weapon refiners. The crowds of people moving back and forth were mostly cultivators in the early stages of Qi Refining. You also saw quite a few disciples wearing Chengtian Sect robes, presumably joining in the fun.

Joan of Arc: It's the early stage of Qi Refining, so I guess there won't be any good rewards. Anyway, I'll first inquire about the sword-forging competition.

Romeo: I touched Joan of Arc's head and said, "There are a lot of people here, baby, be careful not to get lost."

Joan of Arc: Get out of here! (bites)

KP: (Dark Dice)

KP: Okay, Joan of Arc and Romeo, just observe or listen, and just make sure one of them succeeds.

Joan of Arc: Hmm?

Joan of Arc: Observation, 87/30, failure.

Listening, 83/30, failed.

Joan of Arc: It's over. Only Romeo, the big lobster, is left.

Romeo: KP, can I give my chance to Joan of Arc?

KP: Normally, no, but I can be a little flexible this time.

Romeo: If I lift Joan of Arc up high, can I give her extra observation and listening bonuses?

KP:?

Joan of Arc:?

Xiao Huohuo: I think it’s okay, let Joan of Arc form the head!

Joan of Arc: I don't think so. (half annoyed)

KP: Interesting idea, Romeo, try a 50% chance of a high lift check.

Romeo: Joan of Arc raised high, 83/50, failed.

KP: So Joan of Arc didn't want to be lifted up by you and kicked you hard in the back.

Romeo: Alas, the child is shy and timid.

Joan of Arc: You're so shy!

KP: Le, Romeo, you should roll the dice yourself. Since you are at the sixth level of Qi Refining, I will give you an extra 20 correction.

Romeo: Observation, 12/40, success.

KP: Yes. Shortly after you arrived at the gathering, you could hear a faint commotion in the distance. Taking advantage of his height, Romeo observed what appeared to be a conflict between several people over a business dispute. The person in the weaker position looked familiar, as if he were someone you knew.

Joan of Arc: Someone you know? Who?

KP: Lei Mi.

Chapter 124 Being a Sister (Day45)

KP: So, the sudden commotion in the gathering of independent cultivators attracted the attention of Romeo from a distance. After observation, Romeo found that the victim involved seemed to be Lei Mi, the outer sect disciple who was beaten to his knees by Xiao Huohuo in the previous competition.

Xiao Huohuo: It’s hard to hold back.

Han Buli: It’s so awkward, KP, why are you persecuting Lei Mi again?

KP: To be honest, you were the ones who started persecuting Lei Mi. (Pinching nose)

Xiao Huohuo: And KP, you also think it's easy to persecute Lei Mi, right? (laughs)

KP: Well... that's true. (laughs)

Joan of Arc: Poor Lei Mi.

Romeo: I told Joan of Arc what I saw, saying that it seemed like Lao Xiao's ex-lover had a conflict with someone over there, and asked if we should go over and take a look.

Xiao Huohuo:?

Han Buli: I am always affectionate to Xiao Huohuo.

Joan of Arc: Indeed. Then Romeo and I will go over and take a look at the situation first.

KP: Okay, so Joan of Arc and Romeo, you follow the noise to the place where the commotion is happening. There are already quite a few onlookers gathered around, talking about the situation and pointing at the two people who are facing off in the field.

Citizen 1: Oh, what’s going on?

Crowd member 2: It seems like these two people had a quarrel over a magical instrument.

Crowd 3: Judging from their words, they should all be disciples of Chengtian Sect, right? Is there any conflict between them?

Crowd 4: I don’t know, let’s just watch the show.

Romeo: Let's go to the theater.

KP: With his extraordinary altitude, Romeo saw the situation in the field - two disciples wearing Chengtian Sect uniforms were standing in front of a stall and confronting each other. The man on the left with an angry look was Lei Mi, and the handsome and frivolous disciple on the right looked somewhat familiar.

Joan of Arc: A handsome disciple?

Xiao Huohuo: Where did this idiot come from?

Lei Mi: Qin Feng! Don't be so arrogant! I was the one who saw this magical weapon first!

KP: Upon hearing this, the disciple called Qin Feng sneered.

Qin Feng: Humph, that's ridiculous. This is a gathering of free cultivators, and everything is for sale openly. So, it's only natural that the highest bidder wins. If you're not convinced, you can just offer a higher price to make me back off, instead of saying first come, first served.

Xiao Huohuo: Qin Feng? Sounds familiar?

Romeo: Hmm? It seems like the little Xiong who was defeated by Lao Han in the first round of the competition. I remember that I was so hard at that time.

Xiao Huohuo: Damn, what is Jiji’s method of recognizing people?

KP: Although Gigi is very good at recognizing people, he still managed to recognize him.

Romeo: Hehe, I said, eyes are also eyes!

Han Buli: Defying the will of heaven.

KP: Back on the field, Lei Mi and Qin Feng refused to give in to each other, and the atmosphere of confrontation became increasingly tense.

Lei Mi: This is outrageous! If you don't practice thunder magic, this mysterious thunder talisman is completely useless to you. Why did you buy it?

Qin Feng: Humph, why do you care whether I am useful or not? Now that I offer a higher price than you, this Xuan Lei Fu is naturally mine, don’t you think so, stall owner?

KP: Obviously very happy to see this kind of "healthy competition", the stall owner next to him spoke in a gruff voice.

Stall owner: Yes, I am the fairest person. I will sell to whoever offers the highest price!

KP: Upon hearing this, Lei Mi's expression darkened. Although this Mysterious Thunder Talisman was only a low-grade magical weapon, it offered a 10% damage bonus to lightning magic, perfectly suiting his own thunder magic. He was determined to get it, having already negotiated a price with the stall owner. However, he hadn't expected Qin Feng to suddenly appear and double the price. How could he swallow this?

Lei Mi: (gritting teeth)...Qin Feng, you and I are both disciples of Chengtian Sect. We see each other every day, so why make things so difficult for you!

KP: Seeing Lei Mi's gritted teeth and unwilling expression, Qin Feng couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Qin Feng: That’s right, this is it! What I’ve always wanted to see is your jealous look, Lei Mi!

Joan of Arc: What a strong sense of imagery.

KP: Qin Feng continued.

Qin Feng: Thinking back to when we first joined the sect, you always put me down. Your realm was higher than mine, your strength was stronger than mine, and your thunder magic was unrivaled in the outer sect. You were hailed as the best among the noble families. What a glorious time! But now, I'm an inner sect disciple, and you're still an outer sect "boy" who does odd jobs all day to earn spirit stones, unable to even afford a low-grade magic weapon you want... Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, it's really sad, Lei Mi, how come there's already a pathetic barrier between us!

Xiao Huohuo: You also don’t want to bully the young and poor?

Han Buli: Why is Qin Feng talking so much nonsense, and how did he get into the inner gate?

Romeo: Maybe he got in through the elders’ backdoor.

KP: So, facing Qin Feng's undisguised ridicule, Lei Mi finally couldn't help but start to retort.

Lei Mi: Humph, although I am an outer sect disciple, I can support myself and have a clean record. There is indeed a pathetic barrier between me and a dog like you who is willing to be a slave and sell your body and dignity in exchange for resources and status!

Han Buli: ??? You keep cursing!

Joan of Arc: Music.

KP: The smile on Qin Feng's face disappeared instantly after being touched in the sore spot.

Qin Feng: Humph, so what if you're dependent on others? Cultivating immortals is all about resources, and taking shelter under a big tree is the right path! Look at you, you're so poor and lowly now, and yet you're still pretending to be so noble. I'm telling you, Lei Mi, it's not just this magical weapon. From now on, anything you set your sights on, I, Qin Feng, will take it all!

Romeo: Okay, okay, everything is awesome, I recognize you!

Xiao Huohuo: Damn!

KP: (difficult to hold back) So fierce, after hearing Qin Feng’s speech that everything is a cow, Lei Mi’s face instantly turned red, and his whole body couldn’t help but burst into lightning.

Lei Mi: ...You! You Qin Feng!

Qin Feng: Oh, you're going to fight me! I'm so scared! If Elder Li knew I was bullied by an outer sect disciple, he would definitely be very angry.

Lei Mi: ...

KP: Seeing Lei Mi's uncertain expression, Qin Feng, knowing that Lei Mi would definitely not dare to take action, continued to be sarcastic.

Qin Feng: Haha, so, it's nice to take shelter under a big tree. What's the point of your cultivation being higher than mine? You still don't dare to make a move? In my opinion, if you want to blame someone, just blame Xiao Huohuo. It's him who made it impossible for you to enter the inner gate and find a backer. Hahahaha.

Xiao Huohuo: Why is Byd starting to control my rhythm?

Joan of Arc: To be honest, Lei Mi was indeed knocked down by you, and along with him, his family, kinship, and ties were all destroyed in an instant by you.

Xiao Huohuo: (pinches nose)

Romeo: What did Lao Xiao say? Do you want to help Lei Mi?

Xiao Huohuo: I can't help at all. I earned my position through my own strength. I don't owe him anything. And if Lei Mi had won, he definitely wouldn't have come to help me later. Cultivating immortals is cruel. Winners win, losers lose. That's it. I don't accept any form of moral kidnapping!

Han Buli: Correct.

KP: Lei Mi also frowned when he heard Qin Feng mention Xiao Huohuo.

Lei Mi: In the outer sect competition, I was not as skilled as my opponent, and I lost with conviction, I can't blame anyone else!

Qin Feng: Oh, you're quite open-minded... Humph, but if you ask me, Xiao Huohuo is just that, relying on a few tricks he picked up from who knows where, he's just fighting for his life. He's incredibly crude, just like those barbarians from the border. It's only because Lin Yuxuan and his fellow disciples from aristocratic families are so well-mannered that they don't bother with him, which is why Xiao Huohuo didn't suffer such a disgraceful defeat.
