A great adventure in the world of immortal cultivation

Ya Xiaonan: Dodge, 48/50, success.

Romeo: Hum, humahh ...

KP: Looking at Romeo who failed in another sneak attack and roared like a beast towards the sky, Ya Xiaonan raised her eyebrows and looked a little angry.

Ya Xiaonan: You big fool, be honest, or I won’t give you the medicine!

Romeo: Come on, Xiaonan, our relationship has developed to this point, but you won’t even give me a hug.

Ya Xiaonan: Relationship? This step?

KP: A trace of confusion flashed across Ya Xiaonan's face, and then she suddenly realized something. Her expression changed, and she threw the hemostatic ointment in her hand directly onto Romeo's face.

Ya Xiaonan: You, you said you liked me before, but it turns out you didn’t mean to enlighten me but really had improper thoughts about me. I’m very sorry. Although I’m a little touched by your help tonight, but when I think about it carefully, your behavior is still too abnormal. So please allow me to refuse to have any further development with you. Let’s just get to know each other!

KP: After speaking a long string of lines like a machine gun, Ya Xiaonan ran back to Han Ning'er, unwilling to look at you again.

Romeo:?

Xiao Huohuo: Whose family is the same color?

055 Special Mission (Day 20)

Han Ning'er: That’s right.

KP: Before leaving, Han Ning'er seemed to suddenly remember something and turned to look at Romeo.

Han Ning'er: Among this batch of outer disciples, there is one named Xiao Huohuo. Do you know him?

Romeo: You mean Lao Xiao? Lao Xiao is my best buddy. We grew up together and even went down the mountain to do a mission together a while ago! Guaranteed!

Xiao Huohuo: BYD Lao Luo, don't steal my pants. (annoyed)

KP: Well, although your words are a bit exaggerated, Han Ning'er can still see that you are indeed an acquaintance of Xiao Huohuo, and nodded slightly.

Han Ning'er: I heard that he and Lin Yuxuan fought to a draw in the arena yesterday? Is that true?

Xiao Huohuo: Huh? Has the news spread like this outside?

Jeanne: When the outer sect competition comes, won’t it become like [Lin Yuxuan encountered a Qi Refining Level 2 warrior in the fighting arena, whose Fiery Burning Step was as strong as a monster and he couldn’t defeat him no matter how hard he tried].

Han Buli: It’s hard to hold on.

Romeo: Then I told Han Ning'er that indeed, our Lao Xiao is best at challenging opponents of higher levels. He's capable of challenging a second-level Qi Refining opponent against a fourth-level Qi Refining opponent, or even an eighth-level Qi Refining opponent against a Foundation Establishment opponent. He's bound to become a great man in the future! If you need anything, I can introduce you to someone right now. Just let me touch your little hand.

KP: Listening to Romeo's irrelevant words, Ya Xiaonan glared at him silently. Han Ning'er didn't react much, but her tone became even colder.

Han Ning'er: No need, what is he doing recently?

Romeo: Oh, Lao Xiao is in seclusion recently, preparing to level up. When he comes out, he will stab Lin Yuxuan's ass in the outer sect competition.

Han Ning'er: Retreat...

KP: After getting the answer she wanted, Han Ning'er's eyes flickered slightly.

Han Ning'er: Eleven days left.

KP: After leaving a meaningful word, Han Ning'er did not stay any longer and left the clearing in the forest with Ya Xiaonan. Everything returned to silence again.

Han Buli: First it was Lin Yuxuan, then Han Ning'er, Lao Xiao, you are so popular.

Xiao Huohuo: It doesn't matter, I'll fight one or two! I'm only targeting the elite!

Joan of Arc: But Han Ning'er is of the water element, so your Burning Technique won't work on her, my dear brother.

Xiao Huohuo: It’s okay, she has the mechanism and I have the numbers.

Han Buli: All the swords are a warning.

Xiao Huohuo: (annoyed)

KP: Well, to sum up, the exciting night is over. Han Buli and Jeanne, who had been lurking for most of the night, carried Romeo back to the rest area, and let us move on to the next day.

……

KP: Day 20.

KP: Romeo and Joan of Arc don't have anything to do today, so they can allocate their time as they wish. However, Han Buli, you received a summons from Sima Wu early in the morning and need to go to Baicao Valley.

Han Buli: I am scared of these people. I feel like I am going to be killed by Sima Ge.

Xiao Huohuo: The women's clothing that Brother Sima gave you is still here. Just put it on and maybe the situation will change.

ROMEO: Music.

Han Buli: Forget it. I'd better go find Joan of Arc and ask her about the details of yesterday's letter delivery, so that Brother Sima won't catch me with anything.

KP: So, after you asked Jeanne about yesterday's situation on Central Avenue, you rushed to Baicao Valley without stopping and met Sima Wu, whose face looked even gloomier than usual.

Sima Wu: Tell me, how did you deliver the letter yesterday?

KP: Seeing you coming, Sima Wu narrowed his eyes slightly and asked in a cold voice.

Han Buli: I hurriedly described in detail what I had learned from Joan of Arc, and repeatedly stated that I had stuffed the letter into Ya Xiaonan's room and had done nothing unnecessary.

KP: After listening to your testimony, Sima Wu touched his chin. Although he didn't know the situation in the women's residential area, he believed it 100% or even 90% of the time when he saw you described the steps in such detail.

Han Buli: I want to ask Brother Sima in a low voice, if something went wrong yesterday, why do you seem a little unhappy?

Xiao Huohuo: You're asking even though you already know the answer, right? (Laughing)

KP: So, when his sore spot was touched upon, Sima Wu’s face twitched slightly.

Sima Wu: Humph, nothing, follow me.

KP: Sima Wu took Han Buli out of Baicao Valley and walked along the mountain road to the vicinity of the main peak, and then stopped in front of a luxurious cave on the hillside.

Han Buli: Where is this?

Sima Wu: This is where I live.

Xiao Huohuo: Huh? Don't outer disciples usually live in the disciple residential area? How can they live in cave dwellings?

Sima Wu: Humph, of course an ordinary outer disciple can’t do that, but I’m Sima Wu, so it’s no big deal for me to spend a few thousand spirit stones to rent a cave.

Xiao Huohuo: Holy shit.

Romeo: Holy shit.

Joan of Arc: Holy shit.

Han Buli: Brother Sima is too rich and inhumane.

KP: Then, leading the shocked Han Buli into the cave, Sima Wu raised his hand and waved, and the stone door at the entrance fell, blocking out all sounds from the outside world.

Han Buli: Hmm? (Alert)

Xiao Huohuo: Old Han, be more self-aware, you deserve to be punished.

Han Buli: I don’t think so.

KP: Looking at the somewhat uneasy Han Buli, Sima Wu sat down on a stone bench and poured himself a cup of spiritual tea. He then pointed to another stone bench not far away.

Sima Wu: Han Buli, please sit down.

Han Buli: No, no, no, I can just kneel down. My kneeling posture is very standard.

Sima Wu:?

Xiao Huohuo: Old Han, you have achieved something.

Han Buli: An elder brother is like a father. I kneel down to my parents, Sima. What's wrong with that? (Hands on hips)

Joan of Arc: 6.

KP: So, looking at your standard half-kneeling posture, although Sima Wu was still a little puzzled, the corners of his mouth that unconsciously turned up slightly showed that he was very pleased with Han Buli's compliments.

Sima Wu: Han Buli, how long have you followed me?

Han Buli: It’s been almost half a month in total.

Sima Wu: Half a month.

KP: After taking a sip of the spiritual tea, Sima Wu smiled.

Sima Wu: Honestly, half a month isn't that long. For a cultivator, it's barely a blink of an eye. However, your performance during this period has been quite satisfactory to me. Even with the constraints of the blood oath, it proves you're not incompetent.

Han Buli: Brother Sima, you are too kind.

Sima Wu: Your current cultivation level is the second level of Qi Refining?

Han Buli: Yes.

Sima Wu: Do you want to go further?

Han Buli: Brother Sima, if you have anything to say, just say it directly. I will go through fire and water and will not refuse even if it means death!

Sima Wu: Well, it’s convenient to communicate with smart people.

KP: Seeing your loyalty, Sima Wu nodded with satisfaction.

Sima Wu: In that case, I will give you a special task - in the outer sect competition ten days later, I want you to defeat Ya Xiaonan!

Han Buli: That’s indeed the case, but I’m only at the second level of Qi Refining, so I’m afraid I won’t be able to do it.

KP: I think you just don't want to reveal your identity so that you can continue to suck Sima Brother's blood.

Han Buli: Oh, oh, oh.

Sima Wu: Don't worry, since I have decided to let you fight, I must be sure of success.

KP: Sima Wu waved his hand and in the blink of an eye, nine bottles of pills appeared on the stone table.

Sima Wu: During this period of time, you should practice in seclusion here.

"There are enough pills."

056 Retreat and Test (Han Buli)

KP: So, after Xiao Huohuo, Han Buli, who received the task, is also about to start the secluded training mode.

Han Buli: Emmm, to be honest I don’t really want to take this task. I’m not being modest, but Brother Sima, you should ask for someone else.

Xiao Huohuo: Useless old Han, Brother Sima has already chosen you.

Han Buli: But I am not mentally prepared to fall out with Brother Sima.

Joan of Arc: I guess I'm not mentally prepared to fall out with Lingshi.

Han Buli: Hey. (Those who understand will understand)

KP: Then just defeat Ya Xiaonan with your strength in the competition, and be a quiet traitor. Then you will be Sima Wu's most popular person.

Han Buli: Alas, you can’t have your cake and eat it too.

Xiao Huohuo: If you think about it carefully, Brother Sima is quite miserable. He has no one around him.

Joan of Arc: Sima Gin. (Music)

Han Buli: Is it okay for me to be in seclusion now? Romeo and the others will get suspicious, right?

KP: When Sima Wu heard you mention Romeo, he frowned and waved his hand in annoyance.

Sima Wu: Tsk, don't mention that idiot to me. I don't have time to argue with idiots. From today on, you don't have to bother with him anymore.

Romeo: I'm free, yeah.

Han Buli: Grass.

KP: So, Han Buli is preparing to go into seclusion for training. What do you think, Romeo and Joan of Arc?

Joan of Arc: My stinky little brother and I are both in seclusion, so I might as well do the same. It’s only for ten days anyway. I can deal with anything after the competition is over.

Romeo: Are Xiaonan and the others also in seclusion?

KP: Yes.

Romeo: Oh, it's boring. I'm autistic.

KP: Okay, now that everyone's retreating and striving for strength, I'll tackle Han Buli's story first. Because Sima Wu's cave has a much higher concentration of spiritual energy than the disciple residential area, and with the unlimited supply of [Qi-Nourishing Pills], Han Buli can gain a 30% bonus to his spiritual energy while refining his Qi.

KP: In addition, in addition to refining Qi, Han Buli, you can also practice immortal arts in the cave. With Sima Wu's guidance, your immortal arts success rate can also get an additional 20% bonus.

Xiao Huohuo: Is it so cool?
