I Must Become Eternal

Chapter 4: Fiery Flame Serpent

The day had become morning, Xian Ji then woke up.

"Hm... Is it morning...? Hoam~" he muttered as he yawned and rubbed his eyes. Xian Ji then gave her face with her spiritual energy, her face then became brighter again and she felt no longer sleepy.

He then walked out of his room and went out of his place. Thinking that waking up from sleep and the body does not become limp, it is really a comfortable thing. Xian Ji then breathed in some fresh air. Not long after, he saw some outer delivery disciples running towards him. They ran like they were being chased by something, Xian Ji who saw it then noticed the disciples.

"Hm... What's up with them? Are they being chased by something? And why are they running in the direction that leads to my place?" he muttered.

'For now, I will try to pretend to be strong, hehe.' Xian Ji thought with a small laugh.

Then they become faster. Xian Ji who saw him just stood up straight while watching them (the outer running delivery disciples).

Time passed, they finally met Xian Ji.

"We salute you! The chairman!" speak them in a high tone.

'What, chief?' xian Ji thought while feeling astonished by what he saw.

"Wait, what do you mean?" ask Xian Ji.

"You have defeated our previous chairman, so you have officially become the head of the outer delivery disciples!" he answered with great pride.

"What...?" he's surprised.

Then he explained everything about the system that was in the White Cloud sect. Xian Ji who heard the explanation was shocked because the systems in the White Cloud sect were completely different. In the White Cloud sect, there were 3 Groups supporting the sect, namely:

1.Core Group

A group where core disciples would gather to make plans to guard the sect. Usually the head of the core group would assign its members to go to other sects and tell them to become disciples in the sect they wanted. And told them to learn some useful techniques, after which told them to fake his death while on a mission and return home to the White Cloud sect.

2.Inner Group

A group filled by inner delivery students, this group is chaired by one of the core group members. Usually the head of this group would assign them to break out of the sect secretly, to collect spices outside of the sect.

3.Outer Group

A group filled by outer delivery students, in this group, there is often a replacement of the group leader, if the previous chairman loses to the person who beat him, then it will be replaced with a new chairman, he said, and the new chairman was the one who defeated the previous chairman. The outer group can also be referred to as a free group, because they are not assigned by outer or core delivery students. In the outer group, they have 3 principles, namely:

1.The person who becomes our chairman must be able to maintain the behavior, otherwise we as members will surround or kill our own chairman.

2.The one who defeated our chairman will be the new chairman.

3.The Chairman must take care of all its members, if it violates then the chairman will be killed by his own members.

That's what makes the outside group undeveloped. And this time, Xian Ji had to be the vice chairman and not be easily defeated.

"Is that enough, chief?" he said while bowing.

"That's enough, by the way, what's your name?" ask Xian Ji.

"My name is Zhang Du" he replied politely.

"Alright, Zhang Du... From now on... I, Xian Ji, will take care of you as much as I can, if any member dies because of my negligence, kill me" Xian Ji said as he extended his hand.

All the outer delivery members who heard Xian Ji were then startled, because for many years no chief had ever dared to say such a thing.

"...Chief, can you swear?" ask Zhang Du.

"I swear, but I don't want it. Because I can't take care of you guys, and... I will not withdraw my words I just said, so be excited" Xian Ji said with a joyful smile.

"Then, you guys go back, focus on your cultivation, and don't mind me, I will also cultivate for your sake, for the sake of immortality as well. So go" Xian Ji said.

"...Yeah, well then, we'll go first, see you, chief!" zhang Du said as he bowed. Zhang Du as well as the other members showed their respect, they then left on a leisurely walk.

"In that case, I should also cultivate, I should raise my realm as quickly as possible, if I can reach the 5th level of Qi Condensation, I will be able to ascend to the inner causeway" Xian Ji muttered.

Xian Ji then turned around and entered into his place, he then looked at the 2nd technique book, he then read it and tried to understand its contents.

'Shaping a fire snake with qi...? Is that possible...? ...No, it's really possible! I have to try it! I should try to practice this technique!' xian Ji Thought.

The technique he read was named "Fiery Flame Serpent", a technique for attacking, and was a low-level technique. This technique is a common technique, used by outer and inner delivery students.

Xian Ji this time tried to learn it, although it was very difficult, but she still wanted to try it. Xian Ji then focused his stream of spiritual energy on his palm. It was really difficult to be able to drain his spiritual energy into his palm.

Hours passed, and he still could not bring out the fire snake in his palm. There was nothingness on his face.

'Why can't I do it...? Am I not talented?' thought Xian Ji while frowning. Xian Ji then shook his head, he then went back to reading the technique book.

3 Days passed, and there was little progress in his training. Although there was little progress, there was excitement on Xian Ji's face.

'Phyuuh... I can feel it vaguely! If I continue to practice like this and read those technique books over and over again, I'm sure, I can definitely learn this technique!' xian Ji thought with a sigh. Xian Ji then continued reading the technique book.

4 Days passed, and there was rapid progress in his training. The rapid progress made him really happy, so happy that he did not even stop laughing and crying.

Wuush!!...

"Ahaha... At last... After 1 Week I trained non-stop, without sleeping or eating, I was finally able to bring up this fire snake!! Ahahaha... Hiks.." said Xian Ji with a laugh and a groan.

It was truly a happy thing, he was currently unaware that the technique would help him towards the top.
