The Desire to Be Eternal

Chapter 71: Living Prestige Scion

Because of the tortoises, Bai Xiaochun understood a little about spirit enhancement. He was also well aware that there was a Foundation Establishment elder from the Violet Cauldron Peak who was a skilled spirit enhancer.

For some merit points, the elder would help the disciples do spirit enhancement, usually no more than one or two upgrades. Higher than that, and the likelihood of failure increases.

The fact that these two magic objects were both receiving a threefold increase meant that Bai Xiaochun did not need to waste fuel on his own three-colored flame, either, and can also freely use it in the public eye.

After returning to Fragrant Cloud Peak, he immediately began to work familiarizing himself with the Golden Crow Sword and the Divine Crane Shield. As soon as he sent spiritual power to them, they started emitting intense heat.

"Now this is some treasure!" he exclaimed. Taking a deep breath, he performed a mantra movement and showed. Rumbling sounds filled the air as the Golden Crow Sword transformed into a streak of golden light that shot out, leaving a searing heat wave that caused everything around it to ripple and change.

With another incantation movement, he sent more spiritual power flowing into the sword, where the bright light around him expanded until a vague form of golden crow became visible.

It was little more than an outline, but once it appeared, tremendous pressure began to overload, and the temperature in the area increased rapidly. All of that caused Bai Xiaochun's heart to pound.

Gasping for breath, he stared at the Golden Crow Sword, his eyes shining more and brighter. Soon, he began to laugh with excitement.

"This sword is so much better than my little wooden sword! Wow, my lord is amazing! ” With that, he ran, jumped into the air and landed behind the illusionary golden crow.

Although the golden crow was opaque and vague, its back was flat and sturdy like a plank, and when Bai Xiaochun sent some spiritual power into it, it was not, he felt almost as if he had become a part of it.

After stepping onto the golden crow, he performed a spell motion and pointed, which caused him to fly into the air. Then he soared in a huge circle around Fragrant Cloud Peak, whizzing in the air above the crowd. When people looked up in shock, he would slow down, raise his head high, and puff his chest. When the cries of astonishment began to ring, he would finally increase his speed again.

"I, Bai Xiaochun, can finally fly!" With soaring spirit, he laughed inwardly as his tour led him to the 10,000 Medicinal Pavilion. However, just a moment later, just as he was about to head to one of the other mountain peaks, the golden crow suddenly faded, and a sword fell from the sky. Bai Xiaochun screamed as he fell down with her.

Fortunately, what was below was not an abyss, but rather, one of the small paths that passed through the sect. He landed by running, and only managed to gain control after a few steps. Then he looked up and realized how high this path was, and that if he were to fall, even his Death Skin would not save him….

Face pale.

"That's too dangerous !!" he thought, shivering. With that, he took out the Golden Crow Sword. Proving his inner strength, he realized that he was almost completely drained, which is why he ended up falling.

For a Qi Condensation cultivator, flying on a sword took a lot of energy. Most who were at the seventh level of Qi Condensation would only be able to endure for a while before they had to stop. Even Bai Xiaochun, with his extraordinarily refined spiritual strength, could not even last a hundred breaths.

Afraid of falling to his death, he did not dare to test the sword again. Looking around stealthily for a moment to see if anyone saw what had just happened, he saw a burly man in the distance, who was staring at him, his jaw agape.

When Bai Xiaochun saw her, his eyes widened and he rushed over. "Whoah, aren't you the Wolf Nephew Sect?"

When the burly man heard the words 'Wolf Nephew Sect', he immediately shivered. Grimacing, he clasped his hands and said, "I am Liu Ergou's disciple. Greetings, Sect Uncle Bai. I, um, I don't see anything happening right now. "

Bai Xiaochun had met Liu Ergou when he was selling a place in the Outer Sect. Back then, the man called himself Lord Wolf.

Bai Xiaochun humped a few times, then started to scare Liu Ergou a little more to ensure that he would not spread the word about what had happened. Then he patted her on the shoulder, gave her some promises to help her in the future, and finally left.

Liu Ergou wiped the sweat off his brows before rushing over.

As he walked, Bai Xiaochun rejoiced that only Liu Ergou had seen his little accident. If it were to happen when he flew around with the 10,000 Medicinal Pavilion, his name would be destroyed forever ….

"Ai. You really can't be too famous. Then everything becomes difficult. " Sighing to himself, he clasped his hands behind his back and walked back to his courtyard residence.

After a slight hesitation about what to do, his eyes flickered with determination. “No, I should focus on cultivating. Just being able to fly a little was not bad, but what would happen if I ran away for my life? What if I escaped my enemy only to fall to my death? It really is of no use. "

With that, he once again began to study the Golden Crow Sword and the Divine Crane Shield.

"To be safe, I have to paint these two magical things as well. That way, people will think it's just my hobby. Then if I take out other spirit enhanced magic items in the future, they won't think too much about it. " After some more thought, he prepared some dyes from the brightly colored plants and began painting the Golden Crow Sword and the Divine Crane Shield.

"One day when my skill in medicinal Dao is high enough, I will improve some plant-based coloring ingredients, and then I can be completely confident." Bai Xiaochun was a person who was basically cautious. Although he had run to a certain extent for being the Junior Brother of the sect leader, he had a bottom line that he would not cross.

"It's a pity that my cultivation base is still not high enough. The last time I followed Zhou Xinqi around, it seemed like she was already at the eighth level of Qi Condensation. The only way to be able to use a flying sword for a long time was to have a higher cultivation base. ” Determination filled his heart. After the incident with the Luochen Clan, he became fully aware of how brutal the cultivation world was. He also realized that the ability to escape at high speed was essential when one's life was at stake.

If he could fly with the sword back then, he would be able to escape with Du Lingfei and Hou Yunfei no matter what the Luochen Clan tried to do.

"I need to concoct pills!" he thought, his eyes were shining. Considering his current status, although he could not obtain the free ingredients from the sect, there was a certain pill formula he could obtain with just a few merit points. In the days that followed, Fragrant Cloud Peak became a quiet place, and Bai Xiaochun was rarely seen.

He obtained a large amount of medicinal formulas, and also used the spirit stones and other items he had obtained from the members of the Luochen Clan to go to the market and buy various medicinal herbs. Then he went to the Medicine Making Pavilion, where he went into seclusion to concoct medicine.

Time pass. A few months later, it had been almost half a year since Bai Xiaochun had returned to the sect. At first, the sect was thrown into an uproar because of him, but then things suddenly became very quiet. Many people find it difficult to adapt.

At the same time, the fact that Bai Xiaochun had become a Prestige disciple gradually spread outside of the sect. Immediately, people in the entire Eastwood Continent came to hear of this matter.

Of course, there were many clans of cultivators in the Eastwood Continent, many of whom were connected to the Spirit Stream Sect in various ways. The Luochen Clan was only one among many such clans.

For the disciples of the Spirit Stream Sect, although the title of a Prestige disciple should be respected, being the Young Brother of the sect leader was even more impressive.

However, to a clan of cultivators in general, it was quite the opposite. They would respect a Prestige disciple far more than the sect leader's junior brother. In fact, they hardly cared at all about the sect leader's Junior Brother. Instead, they would be driven into madness by a disciple of Prestige.

After hearing the news that Bai Xiaochun had become a Prestige disciple, many patriarchs from the various cultivator clans became extremely excited. In their eyes, he was a virtual gold mine. Descendants of prestige live!

If they could bring Bai Xiaochun to their clan, then his descendants would have almost unlimited possibilities for the future. As the number of such descendants grew, and given that the clan would have the support of the Spirit Stream Sect, glory was guaranteed.

For a clan of vassals in the cultivation world, it would ensure a meteoric rise, like a fish jumping over a dragon gate.

After all, the Spirit Stream Sect had only ever had nine Prestige clans. Those nine clans could often influence the sect's overall decision-making process. Although such an influence did not have to be very large, it was still worth considering.

Such a clan would form part of an extremely powerful entity, and would be subjected to the intense jealousy of other clans of cultivators. In the past, most clans were unable to influence anything. They could only offer loyalty to the Spirit Stream Sect and then perform various services in hopes of gaining Prestige status.

But now ... Bai Xiaochun has appeared.

The most beautiful of all was that he was not a member of any cultivator clan. He came from the mortal world, and .. he had no Daoist partner. He was a free ticket to become the tenth Prestige clan, and because of that, all the cultivator clans in the Eastwood Continent were thrown into a frenzy.

"Find the prettiest girl in the entire Zhou Clan. He will come with me to give greetings to Fellow Daoist Bai! "

"Softter, you are the pearl of the Zhao Clan.You should get on Bai Xiaochun's good side. If he likes you, all the problems of our clan will be gone! "

"Although the Sun Clan's daughters don't stand out too much, we are still qualified to compete. Prepare an incredible gift for me to give when I go offer my regards to Fellow Daoist Bai! ”

Countless clans of cultivators began to act, using all sorts of methods, including summoning members of their clans who were already in the sect to try to contact Bai Xiaochun. Even northern banks are affected. Soon, Bai Xiaochun's name could be heard in all parts of the Eastwood Continent.

The Hou Clan was no exception.

The middle-aged family head of the Hou Clan called Hou Yunfei and Hou Xiaomei, whereupon he expressed his sincere wish: "Yunfei, you have a very close relationship with Bai Xiaochun … must help the clan in this matter.I can tell that your brother likes Bai Xiaochun. Find a good opportunity to act as a matchmaker among them. ”

Hou Xiaomei's face flushed. Pouting flirtatiously, he rushed away.

Hou Yunfei was a bit worried, but he put on a brave face and nodded in agreement.

A few days later, people from various clans of cultivators began to appear, gathering at the Fragrant Cloud Peak around Bai Xiaochun's residence. As the news spread, some people even started heading to the Medicine Making Pavilion, waiting anxiously for him to come out of seclusion.
