Forced to become a pure and innocent female pharmacist in order to cultivate immortality.

Lin Aoxue quickly scanned the area with her divine sense and discovered that this guy, who shared the same name as Li Bai from Earth, was also a cultivator. Although his cultivation level wasn't high, he was still at the Spirit Stream Realm, making him an absolute top expert in the mortal world.

"Little one, this person is no ordinary person; he has concealed his cultivation level," Lin Qingyou reminded him.

Ye Liuyun was taken aback again, then said something to Lin Aoxue.

“Hiding his cultivation level means that this person’s actual cultivation level should be higher than mine,” Lin Aoxue said, frowning.

The two thought for a moment, then walked over.

"Brother, are you alright?" Ye Liuyun asked.

The young man named Li Taibai, after hearing the voice, opened his dazed eyes and glanced at Lin Aoxue and Ye Liuyun.

"Oh, it's nothing, I'm used to it. In this Hall of Beauties, money talks, and no money makes you a beggar. Sigh! Looks like I'll have to find another place to make money." Li Taibai said helplessly.

Ye Liuyun chuckled.

"Just now, I heard you refer to yourself as Li Bai? Is that your name?" Ye Liuyun asked with some curiosity.

Upon hearing this, the young man, in a daze, drew his sword from his waist. The sword looked ordinary and unremarkable, but it had two characters engraved on it: Tai Bai.

"When traveling the martial world, one naturally cannot use one's real name. My sword is called the Taibai Sword, so I gave myself the name Li Taibai. Alright, that's all for now. Farewell, fellow Daoists," the young man explained with a smile.

After explaining, the man swayed and sheathed his sword again, then picked up his wine gourd from his waist and walked out of the brothel street while drinking.

"Fellow Daoist? Does this guy know we are early cultivators?" Lin Aoxue looked at Li Bai's back with such doubt.

“He’s definitely not an ordinary person, Aoxue. Should we follow him and take a look?” Ye Liuyun suggested.

Lin Aoxue was also very interested in the jealous man, mainly because of his name.

Chapter 246 Is it really Li Bai? (6000 words)

This guy called himself a sword immortal and said his name was Li Bai. As two people on Earth who had been familiar with Li Bai's poems since childhood, they must have been extremely interested in this person.

The two of them still caught up with Li Bai, who walked along the road, drinking and muttering to himself.

"With sword in hand and fine wine, I travel ten thousand miles, only to stumble upon a place of brothels and dust. The silken veils and fragrant perfumes lubricate my soul, and I am forever intoxicated by the beauty's embrace."

Li Bai strolled along the red-light district, reciting poetry as he leisurely interacted with the courtesans around him, and it seemed that many of them knew him.

"Young Master Li, would you like to come and sit at our Spring Breeze Pavilion today?" A woman in a light green dress asked with a smile, her arm around Li Taibai's.

But before Li Bai could say anything, another girl ran over and grabbed Li Bai's other arm tightly.

"What's so fun about your Spring Breeze Pavilion? You might as well come to our Misty Pavilion. Every girl in our Misty Pavilion is like a fairy, unlike your Spring Breeze Pavilion, where every girl is a vixen." Another girl in white said with displeasure, glaring at her.

The two men started pulling at Li Taibai, who must be a regular here.

Li Bai was pulled back and forth by the two men, his face full of smiles, looking somewhat uninhibited.

"This guy's pretty popular, huh? Looks like he's a regular at these brothels." The two men who had been following Li Taibai said, speechless.

"The more I look at this guy, the more he seems like Li Bai himself. His unrestrained and dashing demeanor is almost exactly the same as the description of Li Bai in his youth in our textbooks," Ye Liuyun said, stroking his chin.

Lin Aoxue nodded in agreement, but they both knew that the Li Bai in front of them could not be the Li Bai they knew. It was just a coincidence that they shared the same name and had similar personalities.

After all, there are many drunkards like the man in front of you in the entire red-light district.

"Oh dear ladies, please don't hold me back. I lost all my money at the Hall of Beauties, and I was just thrown out. I'm broke," Li Taibai explained embarrassedly.

As soon as he said this, the girls surrounding Li Bai were all stunned and then let go of him.

"What? All that work for nothing, Young Master Li. Well then, next time you have money, you must come and patronize our Misty Pavilion," a young woman said helplessly.

This Li Taibai has been staying in Jianglin City for several years, and he has visited almost every brothel in the red-light district. Most importantly, he always carries a lot of money with him and will not leave until he has spent it all.

Without the girls surrounding him, Li Taibai left drunk once again, and Lin Aoxue and Ye Liuyun followed him again, quickly leaving the brothel street with him.

The two followed Li Taibai all the way to the East City. The East City was the most dilapidated area of ​​Jianglin City. After all, it was a place where commoners lived, and it was good enough if the houses didn't leak.

The two followed him from a distance, but once Li Bai entered the civilian district, they suddenly lost track of him.

"Huh? Where did he go, Master?" Ye Liuyun asked in confusion.

Lin Qingyou rolled her eyes.

"You little rascal, your brain is sometimes sharp and sometimes dull. I just told you not long ago that this person's cultivation is higher than yours, and not just by a little bit. You two following him, isn't that a joke? Turn around and take a look," Lin Qingyou reminded her.

As soon as Lin Qingyou finished speaking...

"Two beautiful ladies, you've been following me all this way. What are your intentions?"

Li Bai's drunken voice rang out behind the two of them.

Ye Liuyun and Lin Aoxue quickly turned around.

Turning around, they saw Li Taibai leaning against a wall, looking at the two of them lazily.

"Eh? Cough cough, well, hehe, young master, my sister and I mean no harm. We just feel that you look like someone we know, so we couldn't help but follow you to confirm it again." Ye Liuyun intentionally or unintentionally blocked Lin Aoxue's way.

After she finished speaking with Li Taibai, she whispered something to Lin Aoxue.

"Aoxue, be careful. If this person has bad intentions, I'll hold him off while you run away immediately." Ye Liuyun was fully prepared.

Their curiosity got the better of them; they forgot that the person in front of them was stronger than them. If the other party disregarded the powerful figures in the city, they would be in trouble.

Lin Aoxue nodded, but she

"Familiar? I don't recall ever seeing you two ladies before. What makes you seem familiar?" Li Taibai asked curiously.

Ye Liuyun fell into deep thought. She had an unrealistic idea: if the two of them could travel from Earth to this world after they died, why couldn't Li Bai? Although it all seemed absurd, it didn't mean it was impossible, because the two of them were examples.

Therefore, Ye Liuyun decided to confirm it.

"Young Master Li, have you ever heard of a poem called 'The Knight-Errant'?" Ye Liuyun didn't waste any time and asked what he wanted to know directly.

Li Bai, who was drinking, suddenly spat out all the wine in his mouth, and then his eyes showed an incredulous reaction.

Clearly, this sentence greatly moved Li Bai.

"You two, are you also from the Tianbao era?" Li Taibai looked the two of them up and down and asked tentatively.

With just this one sentence, Ye Liuyun and Lin Aoxue both showed expressions of shock, because the so-called "from Tianbao" was the reign title of the poet Li Bai.

"My God, you, you really are Li Bai, the Qinglian Hermit?" Ye Liuyun exclaimed.

Even Lin Aoxue was taken aback. This was too outrageous. A top literary figure from the Tang Dynasty of Xia Kingdom on Earth had actually come to this world just like them. If they didn't know that this world was different from the Tang Dynasty they knew, they would have thought that they had been reborn into the Tang Dynasty.

Of course, Li Bai was no less shocked than the other two.

A moment later, in a simple house in the slums, the room was very dark, with only a single candle illuminating the space.

Lin Aoxue and Ye Liuyun, just like two students, looked at the person in front of them with curiosity and surprise. This person only existed in history and legend.

Li Bai was also speechless and puzzled. Three people from different eras had met in this strange world.

However, Li Bai's residence was really simple. On the surface, he was a very powerful cultivator, but he did not stay in inns or mansions. He lived in the same place as ordinary people.

This great poet Li, his personality is truly unfathomable.

Ye Liuyun and Lin Aoxue have just introduced themselves and told Li Bai where they came from.

---------------------------------

"How strange! I never expected that I would be the only one to experience such a bizarre event. After I died in Dangtu, I woke up not long after, only to find myself in another world, starting a brand new life," Li Bai said with a smile.

They were like old friends meeting in a foreign land. Although they were from different eras, they were at least Chinese.

"We are Chinese people from a thousand years later. Your poems are almost all studied by students of our generation. Every single one is a masterpiece that has been passed down through the ages," Ye Liuyun praised with a smile, while reciting some of Li Bai's most classic poems in front of him.

Li Bai was stunned after hearing this.

"Really? I'm so famous after I die? Hahaha, then my life has been worthwhile." Li Bai laughed heartily without any restraint.

As a literary figure, Li Bai was undoubtedly very successful, but as a person, his life was actually quite unsuccessful. His official career was difficult, and he ultimately died in depression.

"It's so noisy, Li Bai! What are you yelling about in the middle of the night? If you keep yelling, don't blame me for kicking you out!" A middle-aged woman's loud cursing voice suddenly came from next door.

This sound immediately silenced Li Bai, making the scene quite comical. This must be Li Bai's landlord.

"Oh? You flatter me, I'm just too happy." Upon hearing the angry rebuke from the lady next door, Li Bai immediately sobered up completely.

He was a cultivator in this world. After being reborn in this world, he embarked on the path of immortality and is now not just a legendary sword immortal, but a real sword immortal.

"It's alright, Mr. Li. Later historical records say that you drowned, but some say that you died of illness. As people from later generations, we are very curious about which one is true," Ye Liuyun asked with a smile.

Li Bai smiled calmly.

"It all seems to be true. I was afflicted with an illness at the time, and there was nothing I could do to save me. I didn't want to suffer from the pain, so I got myself drunk and jumped into the river. So, it's not wrong to say that I died of illness, nor is it wrong to say that I committed suicide," Li Bai explained.

Ye Liuyun and Lin Aoxue were taken aback, but after thinking about it carefully, it seemed that there was nothing wrong with it.

"I see. Then I can only say that we are truly destined to meet. Speaking of which, we were reciting poems on the third floor today, and I even borrowed a poem written by you, sir, to beat my opponent. Now I'm in an awkward situation. I never expected that you, sir, would also be in this world." Ye Liuyun blushed slightly.

Li Bai was taken aback, then couldn't help but laugh.

"It's alright, it's alright. Someone who has died once doesn't care much. After coming to this world, I didn't follow the old path of my previous life. Although I can't change my habit of frequenting brothels, I no longer flaunt the poems I wrote in my previous life. The past is like smoke, and I don't want to be troubled by some unhappy memories." Li Bai shook his head.

Ye Liuyun and Lin Aoxue both nodded in agreement, as they shared the same thought: having been reborn, they shouldn't be bound by their past experiences.

"Sir, have you always stayed in Jianglin City? Or have you been traveling all these years?" Lin Aoxue asked.

"Pretty much. I've been in this world for quite a few years now. The world of cultivation, with its constant fighting and killing, is ultimately not as carefree as the mortal world. I only return to my sect when I have something to do. When I have nothing to do, I just wander around the mortal world. This world is quite similar to the Tang Dynasty," Li Bai said, looking out the window.

This certainly aligns with Li Bai's character.

After saying all this, Li Bai also asked a question.

“Alright, enough said. Ladies, there have been many cultivators in Jianglin City recently. As far as I know, these cultivators seem to come from the four lower-level sects under the Yun Sect. This Miss Lin has a very strong aura. She doesn’t seem to be a rogue cultivator, nor does she seem to be a disciple of a small sect. She should be a disciple of one of the four lower-level sects, or a high-ranking disciple of the Yun Sect, right?” Li Taibai asked Lin Aoxue.

Since Li Bai recognized their identities, he should also know their purpose in coming to Jianglin City.

"This? So, sir, you should also know our purpose, right?" Ye Liuyun asked.

Li Bai took another sip of wine and then said.

“Who doesn’t know that? Naturally, it’s to find the Blood Demon Sect’s headquarters here. However, I must tell you two ladies that while the Blood Demon Sect’s headquarters is indeed located in Jianglin City, it will be very difficult, or rather, virtually impossible, to eliminate this branch of the Blood Demon Sect quietly,” Li Bai said earnestly.

"Ah? So, sir, you know the location of the Blood Demon Sect's headquarters?" Lin Aoxue asked hurriedly.

“That’s natural, because Jianglin City is their headquarters. Their disciples are usually scattered throughout various parts of Jianglin City, and they only gather together when something happens. To eliminate the Blood Demon Sect’s headquarters, a large number of cultivators are needed,” Li Bai replied.

Upon hearing this, Lin Aoxue's expression immediately turned grim. If that were the case, then this was simply an impossible task.

"This Blood Demon Sect is using mortals to attack the cultivation world, how shameless!" Lin Aoxue wanted to curse.

But Li Bai shook his head.

“Hehe, Miss Lin, in this world, good and evil are governed by cause and effect. The Blood Demon Sect and the Supreme Response Sect have an inexplicable karmic enmity. The cause of yesterday is the effect of today.” Li Bai said something that left the two of them somewhat confused.

Ye Liuyun and Lin Aoxue fell silent.

"Then, sir, do you have any suggestions?" Lin Aoxue asked again.

Ye Liuyun didn't actually care about the so-called sect rivalry; only Lin Aoxue was interested. So, Ye Liuyun remained silent on this matter, letting Lin Aoxue speak first.

"A suggestion? I can only say that every month on the night of the full moon, the Blood Demon Cult will hold a gathering at their headquarters. If you want to annihilate them, you only have this one opportunity each month," Li Bai said lazily.

Lin Aoxue's eyes lit up.

This is very valuable information. If they can seize the opportunity, they might be able to eradicate the Blood Demon Cult, but it may require some effort.

"Thank you very much for your guidance, sir," Lin Aoxue said gratefully.

"Miss Lin, won't you ask where the Blood Demon Sect's headquarters is located?" Li Bai asked curiously.

But Lin Aoxue shook her head; they had a clearer way.

Even if you find out the location of the Blood Demon Sect's headquarters from someone else, it won't help because you don't know the situation there. It's better to go back and use the Divine Travel Pill to find it yourself; that way you'll have a clearer understanding.

“Interesting. It seems you are confident in finding the Blood Demon Sect’s headquarters. Then I won’t say anything more. Ladies, the three of us come from the same world, the same country. Perhaps we are not from the same era, but we are fellow countrymen. I may have to return to my sect tomorrow and leave this place temporarily. Before I leave, I would like to give you two ladies a gift. It may be able to help you resolve a crisis in a critical moment. Please do not refuse.” Li Bai waved his hand casually, and two cyan jade pendants appeared on the table. A sword was engraved on the pendants.

---------------------------------

This item looked ordinary, but Lin Aoxue and Ye Liuyun clearly sensed a strange power fluctuation emanating from the jade pendant.

Lin Aoxue and Ye Liuyun exchanged a glance, then put the token away without hesitation.

"What a treasure! A jade tablet imbued with sword intent. I never expected that you two would meet fellow countrymen from your previous life in this world. It can only be described as fate," Lin Qingyou said with a smile.

This is indeed a great destiny; the odds are no less than those of becoming an immortal.

After receiving their items, Ye Liuyun and Lin Aoxue stood up. They knew they should leave, as it wasn't appropriate to continue bothering each other.

"Sir, will we meet again?" Ye Liuyun asked.
