The Desire to Be Eternal

Chapter 70: Hey, Elder Brother Li

At a certain location near the top of Green Crest Peak was a quiet little street. At the end of the road there is a puddle of water, in it swim some gold-colored fish.

Next to the pond was the immortal cave. It was a rather secluded and isolated place, extremely quiet, with abundant spiritual energy that clearly exceeded anything nearby.

At the pool sat a young man. He was wearing the long robe of an Outer Sect disciple, and was extremely handsome, with long black hair, white skin, and a refined, intelligent air.

He was the type of young man whose female disciples would sigh constantly, whose eyes were like smooth phoenix, yet gleamed with flickering light. Overall, he looks very unique.

He was currently holding a fishing rod, which he would occasionally throw into the pond, where the fish would vigorously compete to devour the food attached to the end of the line.

The middle-aged man that Bai Xiaochun had just slapped was rushing on the road, a pale face. When he reached the end, he slowed down and respectfully clasped his hands and bowed to the young man.

"Greetings, Young Master," he said with gritted teeth. "Young Master, Bai Xiaochun doesn't know how to appreciate help. I carefully relayed your message, but instead of coming to give a greeting, he acts bossy and domineering. He thought he could throw away his weight freely from the punishment! ”

The young man turned his head, his expression looking ambivalent. "Well," he said calmly, "forget it then. He's a nobody. Mostly just out of a will that I think he came to give his regards. "

The man nodded. "I think I understand what you mean, Young Master. The reason he was a nobody was because the position of the Prestige disciple was only given to the dead, right? Plus, being the Junior Brother of Sect Leader was a complete joke. Actually, his master was actually a corpse. ” The man chuckled coldly for a moment, but then shivered when he realized that the young man was looking at him with a cold expression. Suddenly, the middle-aged man was struck with fear. "Young ... Young Master …."

"It is true that he is a nobody," said the young man, "not even worthy of attention. However, the Sect Leader Master is a former patriarch of our sect. Do you really think you are qualified to mention it? Go to the Frigid Abyss and slap yourself for three consecutive months as punishment. ” With that, the young man looked away and continued to feed his golden fish.

Shaking, the middle-aged man nodded in agreement and quickly left.

After resolving Qian Dajin's matter, Bai Xiaochun returned to Fragrant Cloud Peak. He was not worried about Shangguan Tianyou at all. Given the meritorious service he had performed for the sect, unless he turned into a traitor, his life would not be in any danger at all.

As time passed, he lost some of his excitement from being called the Uncle Sect, especially considering that most people avoided him at all costs. In fact, he actually felt somewhat melancholy. However, one day he happened to walk into the scripture pavilion, where his spirit was lifted almost instantly.

He discovered that once he arrived, he was immediately given a reading room beside the teaching elders, where he could look down on the countless disciples present.

He fell in love with the experience immediately, after which he came to the mountain peak sermon pavilion.

There he would sit, occasionally giving smiles and nods to the disciples below, eyes sparkling with satisfaction. He was very similar to the Foundation Establishment elder that he was sitting next to.

The elders of the Foundation Establishment did not know whether to laugh or cry, and regarding the disciples of the various mountain peaks, their spirits could not be lower, either, but they had no choice but to just stare at Bai Xiaochun furiously.

Bai Xiaochun had found a new way to show off his status as Junior Brother of the sect leader.

When he came before the Foundation Establishment cultivators, he would immediately call them Big Brother and Big Brother. Although they did not say anything in response, strange expressions could be seen on their faces, and any nearby disciple would eventually be forced to utter the words 'Sect Uncle Bai'.

Things went on like that for quite some time until one day, Bai Xiaochun happened to meet with Li Qinghou. Unable to contain himself, Bai Xiaochun immediately shouted in a friendly tone, "Hey, Elder Brother Li."

Li Qinghou looked rather haggard. He had been working this entire time to concoct the Nine Pill Ultimates, and was currently on his way out of the sect. As soon as those words entered his ears, his jaw dropped, and he looked around until his gaze fell on Bai Xiaochun. Then, his cheeks twitched. Although he had spent all his time concocting pills lately, he had heard about Bai Xiaochun's antics, which had turned into a headache. Hearing Bai Xiaochun greeting him in such a manner made Li Qinghou bully in shock.

As soon as those words came out of his mouth, Bai Xiaochun regretted saying them. Seeing Li Qinghou's reaction then made him sigh. After all, Li Qinghou was the person he feared the most in the entire sect.

Grimacing, he shivered and quickly said, "Uncle Li ... uh."

However, there was really nothing that Li Qinghou could do, and he knew that. Glaring even harder at Bai Xiaochun, he decided to reprimand him a little because of his recent behavior.

"I will leave the sect for a while," he said. “At the earliest, I'll be back in a few months; at most, a year. Not even thinking about playing around while I'm gone. Work hard in your cultivation. ” After a few words of advice, he turned around and left.

Bai Xiaochun let out a long sigh as Li Qinghou walked into the distance. A glimmer of fear could be seen in his eyes, but at the same time, a hint of warmth and respect towards one of the elders could also be seen. He couldn't help but remember what Du Lingfei said about the time he lost, and how Li Qinghou spent two months looking for him himself. Upon his return, Li Qinghou was in quite a miserable state, and seemed to blame himself for what had happened.

After Bai Xiaochun's father and mother fell ill and died, he showed no warmth and respect to anyone. However, at some point, he had come to view Li Qinghou as one of his own relatives.

Due to Li Qinghou's warning, Bai Xiaochun changed his way of life for about half a month. During that time, he stopped beating to draw attention, and instead focused his attention on Zhou Xinqi's immortal cave. In all the sects, he was the only person who knew him personally but refused to call him Uncle Bai Sect.

After a few months, he started to get depressed. After all, he could only see Zhou Xinqi whizzing about in her flying blue silk. Given that he was unable to fly, no matter how much he chased after him, he could only watch anxiously as he flew.

"There might only be a few magical devices in the entire sect that Qi Condensation disciples could use to fly. Without special techniques like the one Chen Heng used, the only way to fly was to obtain one of those magical devices.

"That's so unfair! Master I should have given me such an item. My .. My Master …. " Sighing, he walked a little longer before suddenly stopping in his tracks. Looking up thinking for a moment, he suddenly turned around and headed towards Daoseed Mountain.

While staggering about, Bai Xiaochun exclaimed, “Continent Sect Leader Brother Elder, oh Dearest Sect Leader Brother Elder !! I want to go offer incense to my Master! "

Zheng Yuandong sat there in the hall cross-legged in meditation. As soon as he heard Bai Xiaochun's voice, he sighed.

In the past few days, so many people came to visit him that he lost count. He had heard all about Bai Xiaochun's actions, and had long regretted the situation. Unfortunately, as the old saying goes, wood is already made into a boat, and there is not much to do. After all, despite Bai Xiaochun's strange preoccupation, he did nothing to hurt anyone.

Hearing Bai Xiaochun continue calling out to him, Zheng Yuandong slowly got up, cleared his throat, and looked solemnly.

"Relax, I hear you."

Looking extremely charming, Bai Xiaochun rushed over and clasped his hands as a greeting. "Junior Brother offered a greeting, Sect Leader Brother Elder."

Zheng Yuandong sighed inwardly. Although he knew what was going on, he could not help but shake his head and smile wryly as he led Bai Xiaochun to the forbidden area behind the mountain.

In the immortal cave in the area, a portrait was hung on the wall depicting a middle-aged man. The man smiled faintly as he gazed into the distance, emitting a unique aura that made his image seem very lively.

Below the portrait is a small altar of veneration, on which can be seen several pieces of spirit and spirit candles. The immortal cave was simple yet elegant, and filled it with an overwhelming sense of dignity.

As soon as Bai Xiaochun entered, he rushed to the portrait and flopped into a kneeling position. Then he started prostrating deeply, touching the floor with his forehead nine times, his expression extremely solemn.

Finally, he stared at the portrait, his eyes emitting a godly sincerity. "Sir, the disciple has come to salute."

Zheng Yuandong stood to the side looking. Although he knew Bai Xiaochun was stubborn and mischievous, he could also tell that he had a devoted heart. Considering Zheng Yuandong's experience in life, he could tell from Bai Xiaochun's expression that godly sincerity was real, and not action.

But then .. Bai Xiaochun continued to speak.

“Master, your disciple has gone through difficult times.I can't even fly …. The other master disciples had all given them magical items to help them fly, as well as treasures that protected souls. Unfortunately, I have nothing ….

"But that's fine, sir. Your internship doesn't care about material things. As long as I can burn incense for you, sir, then I'm happy. Who knows, maybe your spirit in heaven will hear me and somehow manage to pass on me with something …. "

When Zheng Yuandong heard this, his eyes widened.

“Master, not long ago your disciple gave everything to protect this sect, to ensure the 10,000-year legacy continues. In order to protect the honor of the sect, I was pursued relentlessly, and during that time, all my magical items were lost or destroyed.I returned to the sect with nothing to summon myself. My bag is empty. I'm poorer than a waiter …

"I don't want you to feel any pressure, sir. Its alright. Your apprentice is not afraid of lacking defensive magical items. Even if I did not have a magical flight device, I would still go through hell or high water for this sect. That's my job! However, if enough time passes and I have not come to burn incense for you, Master, then it would only show that the lack of magical items that protect souls and magical flight devices had caused me to lose my poor little life. … At least I will be able to personally go to reunite with you, Sir. " Even as he spoke, Bai Xiaochun stared at the dearest Elder Brother Sect Leader from the corner of his eye.

Zheng Yuandong's face twitched. He's really stunned. During the years he practiced cultivation, this was the first time he had met a disciple who was as strange as Bai Xiaochun.

While chuckling bitterly in his heart, he looked at his teacher's portrait, and then thought for a long time. It is true that when he first apprenticed to his Master, he was bequeathed with protective magical tools.

After reaching this point in his thinking, Zheng Yuandong looked at Bai Xiaochun, his gaze softening.

Before long, Bai Xiaochun and Zheng Yuandong left the immortal cave. The entire time, Bai Xiaochun stared at Zheng Yuandong from the corner of his eyes. Finally, they reached the large hall on Daoseed Mountain, where Zheng Yuandong stopped walking. Turning to look at Bai Xiaochun, he waved his hand, causing two streams of light to fly out, one of them golden, the other white.

The golden light contained a flying sword the size of a palm. However, its simple appearance caused the surrounding air to change as it emitted a heat wave. It looked absolutely magnificent, and was covered with countless intricate magical symbols that glittered radiantly, and caused fluctuations to spill out in all directions.

The white light contained a small shield, also the size of a palm. It was made of white jade, and was carved with an extremely lifelike immortal crane. It also exuded intense warmth.

Bai Xiaochun could immediately tell that they were extraordinary items. Eyes shone, he started panting when he realized that there was something more extraordinary for the two items; both of them were decorated with three sets of unique flowing lines.

Zheng Yuandong looked at Bai Xiaochun gently, his eyes shining with impetus.

"Inside the Golden Crow Sword sealed the golden crow," he said. "It contained a fiery fire power, and could summon illusory golden crows from the same cultivation base as the one who summoned it. It can be used for flying, and can be used up to the early stages of Foundation Establishment. If it was destroyed, it would give off tremendous power.

“Divine Crane Shield is a defensive magical device created from the immortal stork soul. It can protect you from a deadly crisis that is less powerful than Foundation Establishment.

"My master did triple spirit enhancement on these two items, but did not dare to continue beyond that. Back when I joined the sect, my Master gave it to me, and I hereby represent him to pass them on to you. ”

Bai Xiaochun excitedly received the items and started caressing them in awe. "Thank you sir. Thank you, beloved Sect Leader Brother Elder! ”
