The Desire to Be Eternal

Chapter 14: Third Brother Sister? Third Elder Brother?

Chen Fei and his friends were always happy to laugh at the misfortunes of others. As they watched what happened to Bai Xiaochun, they could not help but feel as if the great laws of heaven were truly being enforced mercilessly. As for the two Outer Sect disciples in charge of the trial with fire, they looked on with hatred, the sensation that no other servant had ever caused them to feel.

"I don't want to go …." Bai Xiaochun dropped to the ground and immediately started roaring, his voice filled with a feeling of abuse so that any listener would definitely cry.

Simultaneously, returning to the path, Big Fatty Zhang and Third Fatty Hei saw Li Qinghou and began to tremble. They quickly lowered their heads to avoid notification.

"Ah, Ninth Young Brother, it's not that I refuse to save you. Now that the peak ruler of Fragrant Cloud Peak has appeared, you have no choice but to suck it up in the Outer Sect …. ” Zhang Fatty Big sighed endlessly in his heart as he bowed his shoulders and tried to inconspicuously move away. However, it was at that moment that Li Qinghou's voice suddenly sounded in his ears.

"You two are coming too." As soon as Big Fatty Zhang heard those words, a powerful force dragged him and Third Fatty Hei into the air. They did not even have the chance to grab a tree before they were transported to the top of the mountain.

"I don't want to go!" Big Fatty Zhang wailed, sounding even more miserable than Bai Xiaochun. "I would rather die in the Oven than climb the stairs in the Outer Sect …." He sounded extremely pitiful, in fact, Bai Xiaochun looked up in shock and forgot to cry.

Fatty Hei Third did not say anything, but instead looked down at the bottom of the mountain silently, facing the image of depression and longing.

When Li Qinghou heard Big Fatty Zhang's miserable wail, his face darkened and he said, "Shut up!"

Instantly, Bai Xiaochun rose up, his face solemn as he stood there. Instead of looking as sullen as before, he was just the opposite, as if he had suddenly exchanged looks.

Big Fatty Zhang stared in shock, and then immediately stood up. Inwardly, she felt as if the persecution she endured was like an ocean threatening to befall her. He simply did not know why Li Qinghou would not say anything when Bai Xiaochun lamented, and then shouted at him as he did the same.

"Zhang Dahai, from today on, you will become a disciple of the Outer Sect of Violet Cauldron Peak! [1]

"Chen Qingrou, you will go to the Green Crest Peak! [2]

"Bai Xiaochun, you will stay here with me, as a disciple of the Cloud Peak Fragrant Outer Sect." Li Qinghou looked at Bai Xiaochun and felt a headache. He had just gone into secluded meditation when he got news of the Oven crew and everything that was happening. Even the sect elders talked about it. Of course, from their point of view, everything was quite pleasant, and a nice break from the monotony of cultivation. None of them even tended to give any punishment.

However, it was not something that could be allowed to walk indefinitely, so Li Qinghou came to straighten out the matter.

After he finished speaking, he flicked his sleeves, ignoring Chen Fei and the other two men as he looked at something further away on Fragrant Cloud Peak.

Bai Xiaochun sighed bitterly and bid farewell to Big Fatty Zhang and Third Fatty Hei. Suddenly, he remembered something. He turned his head to look at the Third Fatty Hei, a strange expression on his face as he asked, "Third Brother, your name ... Is it really Chen Qingrou? Ha ha! What a good name. It makes you sound like a hot baby smoking! ”

The three Fatty Hei gave a cold but depressed snort, then turned around and started walking down the mountain.

"What's wrong with him?" Bai Xiaochun asked, staring at Big Fatty Zhang.

Big Fatty Zhang looked back at him with a strange look in his eyes. Then, he patted her on the shoulder and spoke, his voice serious and sincere.

"Ninth Junior Brother, there is something I have never said before. Third Fatty Hei is actually not your big brother. Actually ... She is your Sister. " Clean her throat, she turned around and rushed away.

Bai Xiaochun stared at him blankly. It felt like thunder was crashing inside his head, as if the entire world was collapsing.

"Elder ... Elder Sister?" After a long time had passed, Bai Xiaochun took a deep breath and was about to turn around and look at the Third Fatty Hei, when suddenly Li Qinghou's cold voice sounded.

“Stop running your mouth and catch up! ”

Bai Xiaochun rushed after Li Qinghou, looking even more bitter than before. After a few steps, he turned around, looked back at the Oven, and sighed.

It had been quite a while since Bai Xiaochun learned that the northern edge of the Spirit Stream Sect had four mountain peaks, and that the southern edge had three. Li Qinghou was the ruler of the third mountain peak, Fragrant Cloud Peak. The position of the peak ruler was greatly distinguished within this sect.

Although Fragrant Cloud Peak did not look very large, upon entering it, one would realize that it was filled with bird singing and the fragrant scent of flowers. It looked like a celestial paradise, and was actually much larger within it than it looked from the outside.

In fact, the end line of the experiment with fire was only the peak of one of the mountain's additional spurs as a whole, and really only counted as the foot of the mountain.

Fog swirled everywhere, as well as the occasional medicinal scent, a scent that would lift spirits and send warm feelings throughout the body. Bai Xiaochun could immediately tell that this place was amazing. He took a deep breath, and his cultivation base, which had not made much progress in the past few months, instantly surged into life.

Li Qinghou did not look back, but his eyes gleamed with a hint of admiration. Even he felt that Bai Xiaochun's cultivation progress in the past year wasn't bad.

"Now that you are an Outer Sect disciple, you cannot go and cause any more trouble," Li Qinghou said slowly. “Practice cultivation like rowing a boat against the current. It requires constant effort. ”

Bai Xiaochun did not dare to say anything back. He put on the most charming expression he could, and nodded continuously.

"The sect resources are only one aspect of cultivation for the Outer Sect disciples," Li Qinghou continued. “You also have to work hard and take advantage of whatever opportunities come your way. There are many missions that you can take for this sect. In a moment, you can look at the missions and choose some to start your training. "

When Bai Xiaochun heard that, his heart suddenly thumped. Some time ago when flipping through the sect rules, he had noticed one special rule about Outer Sect disciples being required to complete at least one mission every so often. Otherwise, they would be punished by being passed down from an Outer Sect disciple to a servant.

He soon went wild with joy. However, Li Qinghou was apparently aware of what he was thinking, and coldly said, "Don't think about breaking the sect rules. Other people might be demoted to servants for not completing the mission, but if you try something like that, I will remove you from the sect and return you to your village. A hundred years from now I might even burn incense for you, if I haven't forgotten you back then. "

Half the frightened Bai Xiaochun was half dead. If he had never seen this immortal world, it wouldn't be so bad. But now that he was on his way to live forever, he had no desire at all to return to his village. If that happened, he might as well forget about trying to live forever. He quickly slapped his chest and said to himself that he would definitely go and complete some missions.

Immediately, they were at the center of Fragrant Cloud Peak. A building emerged from the fog, not too big, but looked extremely elegant. Seen through one of the windows was a young man, who was sitting there quietly reading a book.

"Murid offers greetings, prince of the peak."

"This is Bai Xiaochun's student. Take him and get him ready in the Outer Sect. " Li Qinghou gave Bai Xiaochun a final glance before turning into a beam of prismatic light that shot up the mountain.

Now that Li Qinghou was gone, Bai Xiaochun could sigh in relief. Suddenly, he felt as if a weight was lifted off his shoulder, and the sky was now blue again.

The young man sized up Bai Xiaochun, then laughed.

"Ah, are you the one who blocked the trial with fire and sold the place? That's .. Bai Xiaochun, right? "

Bai Xiaochun chuckled. "You don't praise me anything, Elder Brother. Such a small thing is not even worth mentioning. "

The young man laughed even harder. Clearly, he was greatly comforted by Bai Xiaochun. Dropping the topic, he began to lead Bai Xiaochun around Fragrant Cloud Peak, showing some important buildings along the way.

“Fragrant Cloud Peak occupies an important position on the southern edge. The Green Crest Peak was known for its sword cultivator, the Violet Cauldron Peak for their magical techniques. As for Fragrant Cloud Peak, we excel at concocting spirit medicines.

“Fragrant Cloud Peak is famous even among the four big sects in this Heavenspan River branch. That was especially true for His Highness the peak ruler, who was one of the two most famous apothecaries in the Eastwood Continent.

“Therefore, being an Outer Sect disciple of Fragrant Cloud Peak also makes you an apprentice apothecary. That means you need to learn about plants and herbs, as well as different medicinal concocting techniques. ” The young man continued to give a more detailed explanation to Bai Xiaochun as they walked. Finally, they reached the location where Bai Xiaochun received the clothes and equipment of his Outer Sect disciples, including the bag of holding.

Although the handbag did not fit inside, Bai Xiaochun found it to be amazing. After testing it a few times, he kept it carefully as if it was a precious treasure.

What pleased him more than anything was that being promoted to an Outer Sect disciple also came with a reward of twenty spirit stones. Now, he was only enough to buy the medicinal plants he needed.

Soon it's dusk. Thanks to the explanation given by the young man, Bai Xiaochun now knew a lot about Fragrant Cloud Peak. Finally, the young man took him to a place called the 10,000 Medication Pavilion.

From there, he received a jade slip.

“This jade slip describes 10,000 kinds of plants and herbs.You have to memorize everything, and then you can get a second jade slip.

"Junior Brother Bai, the path of cultivation is a long one, and spirit medicines are a favor you cannot do without. If you can become an apothecary, you will be able to reach the meteor hike here.

"The apprentice apothecary, day worker pharmacist, master pharmacist ..." said the young man with a smile. "Junior Brother Bai, your future progress will all depend on the good fortune you meet." By the time night fell, the young man had taken him to the courtyard of the sect residence that had been arranged as his residence.

"Junior Brother Bai, I have to leave the mountain tomorrow, so I won't be able to accompany you to the Sacred Writing Pavilion. Go there at dawn to get the rest of the mnemonic Art Control Violet Qi Cauldron.You can also choose one more magic technique from the options they have there. It's a great opportunity to get some things for free. After that, you will have to pay merit points for the magical technique you want.

"If there's something you don't understand, you can always come looking for me. My name is Hou Yunfei. Many thanks for taking care of Xiaomei for me. ” Hou Yunfei smiled, clasped his hands and bowed. Then he turned and walked away.

"You Yunfei?" Bai Xiaochun returned the bow and watched Hou Yunfei walk away. After thinking for a moment, he recalled the face of a young woman.

"Hou Xiaomei!" thought, blinked. He suddenly realized that he had hit her with great luck, as if he was pushing a random stick to the ground just to make her grow into a beautiful shade tree.

After a while, he took a deep breath and then looked at his courtyard residence. His eyes glittered, and he stood upright and straight under the moonlight.

"Well, I guess being an Outer Sect disciple isn't that bad!" Flicking his sleeves, he walked into the courtyard.

Zhang Dahai's name in Chinese is ⁇ zhang dawei – Zhang is the common name. Dahai means ocean or “laut big”

Chen Qingrou's Chinese name is ⁇ ⁇ qin ron. Chen is a common family name. Qingrou means "soft" or "soft." This sounds like a very feminine name
