A great adventure in the world of immortal cultivation

Xiao Huohuo: Lucky, 10/50, success.

Joan of Arc: Hmm?

Han Buli: It’s even extremely difficult to succeed.

Romeo: 666, I am fine now!

Xiao Huohuo: Dice girl, my Superman!

KP: Byd dog luck. So after searching for a while, Xiao Huohuo, who was lucky enough to find a scroll of immortal arts that met his requirements, was called [Life and Death Battle]

[Life and Death Battle] A non-attribute auxiliary immortal art, 15 MP. Forces the activation of a spiritual bond in combat, forcing the enemy to use only the same attack type as yours. The base success rate is 50%. If the enemy's realm is higher (lower) than yours, the success rate decreases (increases) by an additional 20% for each realm difference. This skill is immune to level suppression effects.

Xiao Huohuo:? It seems pretty impressive at first glance, and it's immune to level suppression. But what's wrong with your level compensation? I only have a 30% success rate when I cross levels to fight a Qi Refining Level 5 opponent?

KP: But if you fight the third level of Qi Refining, wouldn’t you have a 70% success rate?

Xiao Huohuo: I'm only at the third level of Qi Refining, so why do I need to use this? (annoyed)

Han Buli: It looks a bit impressive, but that's just how it looks. (laughing)

KP: I'm giving you a chance to win a prize, so just be happy. Don't forget that the enemy strength in this group is dynamic. If I really give you an unlimited ranged ban, then you won't be able to control what powerful skills the enemies that appear will have.

Xiao Huohuo: Emmmm.

萧火火:生死斗基础成功率，（65＋【1d100:65】）／2=65％

Joan of Arc: It's like chewing chicken ribs with tears in your eyes.

……

KP: Okay, you only have one action point left. Hurry up and go back to your room to sleep.

Xiao Huohuo: Let’s take one last gamble and go to the Central Hall!

KP: (Dark Dice)

KP: (Pinching nose) Tsk, then you are very lucky. You successfully found Fang Yuan chatting with someone in a corner of the central hall.

Xiao Huohuo: Okay, okay, I caught him red-handed!

Han Buli: Sure, Lao Xiao, you're lucky enough to win the resurrection match.

Xiao Huohuo: Man!

KP: Well, I didn’t expect you to come and visit me specially. Fang Yuan also seemed a little surprised.

Fang Yuan: Hey, isn't this Junior Brother Xiao who shone so brightly at the Outer Sect Competition yesterday? How come you have time to come look for me today?

Xiao Huohuo: Why do you sound so sarcastic when you talk?

Fang Yuan:?

Xiao Huohuo: Forget it, I want to tell Fang Yuan what happened before, and then ask him if he knows anything about Elder Snebu.

KP: So, after hearing what Xiao Huohuo said, Fang Yuan was stunned at first, and then his expression became a little strange.

Fang Yuan: You mean, you want to become a registered disciple under the name of Elder Snebu?

Xiao Huohuo: Why does everyone react like this?

Fang Yuan: (Sighs) Junior Brother Xiao, you don’t know this. Although Elder Si is now an elder in Chengtian Sect, fifty years ago, he was a notorious evil cultivator within a hundred miles.

Joan of Arc: Evil cultivator? Are you as evil as me?

Xiao Huohuo: Hey, he really knows! Then let me continue to ask, how did Sinebu, a rogue cultivator, get into the official ranks of Chengtian Sect?

Fang Yuan: Who knows? There are many different opinions. Some say Elder Si has turned over a new leaf and joined the main sect. Some say he harbors evil intentions, lurking here waiting for help from outside. Others say Elder Si wagered a bet with the sect leader and ultimately accepted defeat. Regardless, it's an indisputable fact that Elder Si guarded Baicao Valley within Chengtian Sect for fifty years, so I think he's returned to the right path.

Xiao Huohuo: Isn’t that great?

KP: Fang Yuan shook his head slightly.

Fang Yuan: Elder Si's strength and alchemy skills are truly unmatched within the Chengtian Sect. Therefore, many inner disciples initially flocked to him, admiring his reputation and becoming his registered disciples. However, Elder Si, after all, was a cult cultivator, and his personality and conduct were completely different from those of the righteous elders. He hardly treated these registered disciples as human beings. While there was little guidance on daily cultivation, daily drug testing was constant. Furthermore, Elder Si was extremely strict regarding alchemy practices. Once, a fellow practitioner was thrown into the alchemy furnace for merely losing focus while refining. Although no one was killed in the end, his Dao heart was damaged, and his cultivation progress stagnated.

Xiao Huohuo: Ah, this...

Han Buli: Good boy, it's lucky that Lao Xiao was not refined in an instant.

Romeo: Now I really have to thank KP for not killing me.

KP: Seeing Xiao Huohuo lost in thought, Fang Yuan smiled and patted your shoulder.

Fang Yuan: I haven't said all this for any other reason. It's just that if you, Junior Brother Xiao, are only interested in refining medicine, it's best to avoid associating with Elder Si. There are other elders in the sect who can also guide you.

Xiao Huohuo: But when it comes to alchemy, Sneib is the best, right?

KP: Yes.

Xiao Huohuo: There's nothing I can do about it. I'll just tell Fang Yuan, "Brother, there's no need to say anything more. I've made up my mind!"

Jeanne: Fang Yuan: I have taken care of my family.

KP: I didn't expect Xiao Huohuo's attitude to be so firm. Fang Yuan was slightly stunned and didn't answer directly for a moment. Instead, he touched his chin, thinking.

Fang Yuan: ...So, Junior Brother Xiao, you are now worried about angering Elder Si, and you want to curry his favor and give him some gifts to build a good relationship, right?

Xiao Huohuo: Yes, yes.

Fang Yuan: Well, you've found the right person. I know a thing or two about Elder Si's preferences. Moreover, I also know where to get the things Elder Si likes.

Xiao Huohuo: What a coincidence? Is this true?

Han Buli: I feel something is wrong. Why is Fang Yuan so proficient in Sneib's affairs? Oh no, he is so familiar with him.

Xiao Huohuo: Indeed.

KP: Then, facing Xiao Huohuo's somewhat suspicious eyes, Fang Yuan cleared his throat awkwardly.

Fang Yuan: Well... Well, to be honest, I was also a registered disciple under Elder Si for a period of time.

Xiao Huohuo: Huh?

Han Buli: Le, love is also a deserter.

Xiao Huohuo: So why did you want to escape, senior brother?

KP: As if recalling a painful experience, Fang Yuan sighed deeply.

Fang Yuan: Sigh, I can’t stand testing medicines all day long. Although I can get some benefits from it occasionally, the various medicinal properties dissolved in the spiritual energy have affected my ability to break through the foundation-building stage. After I came out, I practiced hard for half a year before I touched the threshold of foundation-building again.

Xiao Huohuo: Half a year? ... Shit, you weren't the one who ran away half a year ago!

Fang Yuan: Cough cough cough!

Romeo: The mystery is solved.

Joan of Arc: I'm dying of laughter.

Xiao Huohuo: Forget it, let’s get back to the topic. Senior Brother Fang, what did you say Elder Si like?

Fang Yuan: Actually, this isn't a secret. Ever since joining the sect, Elder Si has been researching elixirs that can bring the dead back to life. One of the main ingredients often used in these elixirs—the Soul-Resurrection Grass—is a relatively rare commodity. If Junior Brother Xiao could present this to Elder Si, he'd definitely be pleased.

Xiao Huohuo: Resurrection Grass?

Han Buli: Resurrection from the dead?

Jeanne: So Lily in this world line is also dead? (Pinching nose)

Romeo: Rise up, my love!

KP: (annoyed)

Xiao Huohuo: I continue to ask Fang Yuan, where can I get this resurrection grass?

Fang Yuan: Haha, to be honest with Junior Brother Xiao, in ten days, a secret realm will open in the Northern Territory. There's a high probability that the Resurrection Grass will be found within this secret realm. The sect has already issued an exploration mission, and I was just discussing with someone about joining forces. Junior Brother Xiao, if you're interested, I can count you in.

Xiao Huohuo: Exploring the secret realm? Can I?

Fang Yuan: Why not? Junior Brother Xiao, don’t forget, you are now also an inner disciple.

Jeanne: Inner disciples are amazing. (No emotion)

Xiao Huohuo: The Que family is remarkable. Then I'll tell Fang Yuan, since that's the case, I'll respectfully obey your orders.

KP: Seeing Xiao Huohuo readily agree, Fang Yuan also smiled slightly.

Fang Yuan: Then let’s make an appointment. We will set off together in ten days!

Chapter 83 I Understand (Day 33)

Xiao Huohuo: Okay, okay, buddy, I've also accepted the secret realm mission. (Happy)

Romeo: Yes.

Joan of Arc: By the way, is this secret realm the second copy you mentioned before, KP?

KP: It's not a dungeon. The second dungeon will have to wait until all of you have reached the fifth level of Qi Refining. This is just a regular small exploration event.

Joan of Arc: Then can I join?

KP: No, the quest to explore the secret realm is limited to inner disciples, but you might be able to see if there are any inner disciples willing to take you with them. (hint)

Joan of Arc: You stinky little brother. (staring)

Xiao Huohuo: If you bark like a dog, I will take you in as a spirit pet.

Jeanne: Byd wants to die, right?

Xiao Huohuo: Scared. Forget it, I'll just leave it alone. I'm already riding in the car of the Great Love Immortal Venerable, and it would be a bit rude to bring my family along. You should just stay home and refine your weapons, stinky sister. Don't go out and slack off until you lose your mind and ruin your secondary profession.

Joan of Arc: (pinching her nose) All right.

Xiao Huohuo: Then I will go into seclusion to improve my strength. See you in ten days, brothers.

Han Buli: Wrong, we won’t be able to see each other in ten days. You have to go to the secret realm.

Xiao Huohuo: Yes.

Romeo: Lao Xiao, will we meet again? I hope you will be happy next time we meet. (crying)

Xiao Huohuo: You cry Bull Demon!

KP: Wait, after Xiao Huohuo's seclusion judgment, I will move on to Han Buli's storyline.

Han Buli: Oh? Is it my turn? What was I supposed to do today?

KP:? You ask me.

Han Buli: Uh (looking through the records)...Oh, I see. I'm going to the Central Hall first to see if there are any secondary occupation tasks.

KP: Then you go...

Han Buli: Wait a minute, let me think about it. Actually, I don't think I need to go to the Central Hall. If I want to switch to a secondary class, can't I just ask Brother Sima to arrange one for me? Anyway, as a blood slave, the stronger my abilities are, the more benefits Brother Sima will gain.

Xiao Huohuo: Indeed.

Romeo: It is said that Sima Ge is responsible for allocating jobs.

KP: So Han Buli, you decided to go to the cave to find Sima Wu first, right?

Han Buli: Yes.

KP: Well, then you should be lucky.

Han Buli: Lucky, 29/70, successful.

KP: Han Buli came to the outside of Sima Wu's cave. This time, Sima Wu did not go out, but was sitting in the cave practicing Qi refining.

Xiao Huohuo: You work too hard, Brother Sima.

KP: So, relying on the positioning function of the Blood Slave Curse, Sima Wu quickly noticed Han Buli's arrival and opened his eyes.

Sima Wu: Humph, I was just about to look for you, Han Buli, you arrived just in time... Hmm? Have you broken through to the fourth level of Qi Refining?

Han Buli: Yes, yes, thanks to you, Brother Sima, I was lucky enough to make a breakthrough yesterday.

KP: Sima Wu nodded slightly.

Sima Wu: It seems you have quite a talent. Well, you've reached the fourth level of Qi Refining. This way, you have a better chance of success this time.

Romeo: Are you alive?

Han Buli: (presumably) Brother Sima, do you have any instructions? Just leave it to me. I will go through fire and water without hesitation!

KP: Looking at Han Buli's sincerely loyal expression, Sima Wu waved his hand without comment.
