The Desire to Be Eternal
Chapter 35: Another Meeting with Xu Baocai



It only took about half a month for news of Bai Xiaochun destroying Du Lingfei in the competition to spread among almost all the disciples, and cause a huge commotion throughout the entire sect.


Every time Bai Xiaochun came out, the Outer Sect disciples he met would call out cheerful greetings. For the first time in his life, Bai Xiaochun felt famous. Now, he was happy to leave his residence. He would even approach random people and start chatting with them, all in the hope that they would ask who he was, where he would proudly reveal his name.


Bai Xiaochun really enjoyed living a luxurious life. He also did a threefold spirit enhancement on Du Lingfei's incense stick. Utilizing the incense then pushed him from the large circle of the fifth level of Qi Condensation all the way to the sixth level.


As far as his Lightness-in-Heaviness magic was concerned, the more he practiced with it, the more refined it became. In fact, he had even started investigating the second level of the Violet Qi Cauldron Control Art, which was Heaviness-in-Lightness.


Although at first it seemed very difficult, after much effort, he made little progress.


One day, he sat cross-legged in his courtyard, practicing Heaviness-in-Lightness, when suddenly his expression flickered. Putting down his wooden sword, he stared at the main gate of the courtyard. A moment later, someone knocked.


"Elder Brother Bai, are you home?" After hearing a familiar voice, Bai Xiaochun's brows furrowed slightly. People do not often come to visit him in his yard. He waved his finger towards the gate, which creaked open to slowly reveal a skinny young man.


He was wearing the clothes of an Outer Sect disciple, and his expression was extremely solemn as he clasped his hands and bowed deeply.


"Xu Baocai said his greetings, Elder Brother Bai."


"What are you doing here?" Bai Xiaochun asked, looking shocked. This young man was the same Xu Baocai with whom he fought back in the Oven, when he was at the third level of Qi Condensation. Apparently, Xu Baocai was now an Outer Sect disciple.


However, after seeing that Xu Baocai was still at the third level of Qi Condensation, he felt much more relaxed. Appearing a stern expression on his face, he said, “What, now that you have become an Outer Sect disciple that you refuse to let the past pass? you still want to fight me? "


Xu Baocai immediately shook his head. A wry smile on his face, he once again bowed to Bai Xiaochun.


“I was stupid and stupid back then. Please don't mock me, Elder Brother Bai. I came today to apologize for what happened. Let's forget all that. " Xu Baocai seemed very earnestly anxious to forget everything that had happened. After all, now that he was an Outer Sect disciple, the matter of the past didn't really matter.


The most important thing was that Bai Xiaochun was now very famous on Fragrant Cloud Peak. Now that Xu Baocai was an Outer Sect disciple on the same mountain, he clearly wanted to avoid the complications that could arise due to the past.


Bai Xiaochun blinked, recalling everything that happened back then in the Oven. In some ways, Xu Baocai was considered an old friend. He quickly got up and invited Xu Baocai in, where they sat down and began to reminisce.


Thinking back on that unforgettable blood notification, Bai Xiaochun could not help but ask, "Now that you mention it, back then, I really don't understand why you would write the character 'died many times with blood. I finally got it, but even then, I was always curious; wouldn't it hurt to use so much blood to write so many characters? "


Xu Baocai's face reddened in embarrassment as he rethought his strange behavior back then, and he quickly changed the subject.


“Older Brother Bai, you need to be careful about the people from the Supervisory Department. I heard that Chen Fei and the others you forced into the Outer Sect have been holding grudges this entire time. "


"Chen Fei?" Bai Xiaochun's heart was instantly filled with vigilance as he thought back to the burly and muscular man from the Supervisory Department.


"What is his cultivation base level now?" he asked, looking very serious.


"i heard he was in the great circle of the fourth level of Qi Condensation," Xu Baocai replied immediately, hoping that revealing this matter to Bai Xiaochun would clear the air between them.


When Bai Xiaochun heard the fourth level of Qi Condensation mentioned, he felt a little better, and actually looked calmer than before.


Xu Baocai did not go into further explanation. He and Bai Xiaochun started chatting about the sect, and soon Bai Xiaochun realized that Xu Baocai actually knew more than him. He seemed to know just what was happening on the southern edge of the Spirit Stream Sect. He knew about major events and unimportant things, and had even heard about things that should be a big secret. Eventually they started talking about the latest gossip, and the discussion became more lively.


'' Elder Brother Bai, did you know there are five beauties here in the Spirit Stream Sect, each one of them is extremely handsome? cultivators like us who can be with one of them will be able to live life without regret. ”


Bai Xiaochun wanted to hear, and this was a subject that Xu Baocai liked to talk about, so his brows instantly raised with excitement.


“The five girls are almost on equal footing when it comes to how beautiful they are. However, their positions within the sect were all different. In the first place was Xu Meixiang, Peak Lord Xu, who was truly beautiful and alluring…. Oh, right, he's Big Fatty Master Zhang. "


"Thank you?" Bai Xiaochun was completely shocked to hear this news. Big Fatty Zhang mentioned his Master on several occasions, and always called him an old man. Then he recalled how thin Big Fat Zhang was when they reunited, and how it was because the old man hated fat people.


Suddenly, things became more reasonable for Bai Xiaochun. Clearing his throat, and his mind, he decided not to think about the matter any further. That's too dangerous.


“Two in the next rank are actually from Fragrant Cloud Peak. The first were Zhou Xinqi, Sister Elder Zhou, and then Du Lingfei, Sister Elder Du. ” Xu Baocai explained everything he knew, so when he raised Zhou Xinqi, it also required talking about Chosen.


'' Elder Brother Bai, you probably already know that on the southern edge of the Spirit Stream Sect, there are three Chosen Ones. One of them was Zhou Xinqi from our Fragrant Cloud Peak. The other was Lu Tianlei from the Violet Cauldron Peak, and the last one was .. Shangguan Tianyou from the Green Crest Peak! The three of them were perfect geniuses! ” Xu Baocai's eyes sparkle with envy. [1. Lu Tianlei's Chinese name is ⁇ thian lhei. Lu is a common surname, Tian means "Heaven" or "sky." Lei means "rocky" or "uneven." The name Shangguan Tianyou in Chinese is Shangguan is a surname of two relatively uncommon characters. Tian means "Heaven" or "sky." Yu means "blessed" or "protected." Together, the name "Tianyou" essentially means "blessed by Heaven"]


"If they are so admirable, how could they in the Outer Sect like us?" bai Xiaochun asked, his mouth slightly grinning. Although he did not know much about Shangguan Tianyou and Lu Tianlei, he had already met Zhou Xinqi. In fact, the jade pendant in his holding bag was a gift from him.


Xu Baocai coughed dryly. Even though inwardly he looked down on Bai Xiaochun, he did not dare to express that feeling, and instead laughed wryly and said, “ Elder Brother Bai, if not for the strict sect rules, then, the three of them would already leave the Outer Sect for the Inner Sect. Even so, they were extremely famous, and fully deserved to be known as the number one figure in the Outer Sect. Even the Inner Sect feared them. Once their cultivation base reached the right level, they would definitely become stars in the Inner Sect as well! Although, to them, even the Inner Sect would only be a stepping stone for the purpose of eventually joining the inheritance echelon! "


Bai Xiaochun was still not convinced.


"Take Zhou Xinqi for example. Due to the meridian spirit of his plants and herbs, he would definitely inherit the mantle of Peak Lord Li, and would become the main apothecary of the Spirit Stream Sect. And then there was Lu Tianlei. He grew up in a very poor family, and began to thin like a piece of firewood. But he had rare lightning spirit meridians, and the magical technique he developed was from the path of the lightning Dao. In fact, the sect leader had personally said that he would have an extraordinary future. "


"Thank you?" Bai Xiaochun asked, clearly surprised. He was no longer a newcomer in the cultivation world, and understood a lot about how things worked. When he heard about the lightning spirit meridians, he could not help but feel jealous. A spirit meridian like that would cause one's magical techniques to become extremely powerful, and would ensure that some bottlenecks appeared in cultivation.


Seeing that Bai Xiaochun had finally reacted the way people usually do when hearing about these things, he proceeded to talk about the third person: "Of course, there is also Shangguan Tianyou, too, which is even more amazing. He had the Sword Spirit Body, and some people even said that he was the reincarnation of an almighty sword cultivator. For some reason, it was like a guilty paradise, and had blessed him with an entire life of fortune. When he was three years old, he walked down the street and happened to find an ancient sword; when he was seven years old, a red cloudbeast baby fell from the sky and instantly accepted him as his master; When he was thirteen years old, he obtained a shield of golden light. That was why his name was Tianyou, and once he joined the sect, the main elders were completely shaken. "


Bai Xiaochun's eyes widened, and he looked somewhat distracted. "Pulse guilty!?!? Three years…? What luck! What kind ... wait, he is the reincarnation of an almighty ancient cultivator? "


At that moment, he decided that he would definitely not do anything to provoke Shangguan Tianyou, who was even filled with Heaven.


Xu Baocai was very happy to see Bai Xiaochun was very surprised, so he sighed and then decided to explain a little about the Foundation Establishment. “The trio will definitely reach Foundation Establishment. Elder Brother Bai, we cultivators started as servants and then joined the Outer Sect. We liken our promotion to a fish jumping over a dragon gate. However, the truth of the matter is that only by breaking through from the Qi Condensation stage to the Foundation Establishment can you truly become a fish jumping over the dragon gate. Only then does your life completely change, and you truly let go of what is mortal. That is the true path of immortality, when your longevity increases by a hundred years. ”


Even as Xu Baocai sighed, Bai Xiaochun heard about the hundred-year increase in longevity, and his eyes shone with a light that was stronger than anything he had ever seen before in his eyes. He even began to tremble, and his mind was filled with rumbling sounds. He reached out and grabbed Xu Baocai's arm.


"Did you just say that after you reach Foundation Establishment you get an extra hundred years of longevity?"


Xu Baocai looked at Bai Xiaochun's red eyes in shock. Feeling a little scared, he nodded.


Bai Xiaochun took a deep breath, and then started pacing in his courtyard, waving his hands and moving his hands wildly. He almost looked like he was crazy, and muttered to himself and laughed crazily.


Xu Baocai was now completely scared, and had no idea what was going on. A chill ran down his spine, and he said he was leaving. Bai Xiaochun did not even notice; it was almost as if he had been screwed up.


Xu Baocai took a deep breath and drove away in fear.


After the time it took to burn the incense, Bai Xiaochun looked up, his hair disheveled as he took a long, deep breath. Then he threw his head back and laughed loudly.


"Hundred years! Foundation Establishment! I will definitely reach Foundation Establishment! "
