The daily life of a max-level immortal cultivator

Chapter 30 Return to the Sect

Unfortunately, having used Liu Jun's body and the name Liu Jun, she was destined not to simply fade into quiet, ordinary obscurity.

Back at the inn, Liu Xingxing released Xiao Mo as usual and placed the remaining sesame seed cake in front of it.

"Hey, I bought this for you."

Liu Xingxing never expected that this black cat wouldn't like dried fish!

I fed it dried fish before, but it didn't eat a single one. Then, thinking that Xiao Mo was a demon beast, I fed it spirit stones and demon pills, but it still wouldn't eat.

On the contrary, it snatched up the food that Liu Xingxing bought for her, which had no spiritual energy. No one knew what it was thinking, so Liu Xingxing just let it be, since it didn't cause any harm anyway.

Seeing Xiao Mo eating with relish, Liu Xingxing shook her head helplessly and stopped paying attention to it. She set up a formation to protect the room and then took out some medicinal herbs she had found that day to refine pills.

Liu Xingxing only stopped when night fell and the stars twinkled.

He took a deep breath, glanced at the neatly arranged pills in the medicine box next to him, sighed softly, waved his hand, and put all the pills back into his storage ring. He then turned to look at the cat sleeping soundly on the stool.

"Never mind, let's go to sleep."

This batch of pills was still not good enough. Liu Xingxing was getting more and more tired of refining them, so she simply stopped.

next day

Liu Xingxing didn't wake up until noon, yawned widely, and stretched.

"Xiao Mo?"

Liu Xingxing called out in a somewhat confused manner.

"Meow~"

Xiao Mo had just woken up, stretched lazily, and casually responded.

Liu Xingxing got up and tidied herself up quickly, saying to herself, "Let's go eat before we leave. We've been here for several days already."

Regardless of whether Xiao Mo could understand it or not.

Looking at the huge pile of medicinal herb residue that had burned to ashes before it could be refined into pills, Liu Xingxing sighed heavily, raised her hand to wipe away all traces of it, restored the room to its original state, and then picked up Xiao Mo and left the room.

The distant mountains and all things remain as they were in the past.

After finishing their meal, Liu Xingxing spurred Ye Zi forward while she sat cross-legged, lost in thought. Xiao Mo, as before, continued to curiously peer at Ye Zi.

This place is not far from Xuanshan Gate, and Liu Xingxing saw the shadow of Xuanshan Gate in less than half a day.

The sense of familiarity came so quickly that Liu Xingxing was so moved that she almost burst into tears on the spot.

Over the past month, she has burned countless portions of medicinal herbs to achieve even a little bit of success.

Her first attempt at alchemy was so successful that it attracted a barrage of alchemical lightning. The lightning struck Liu Xingxing several times, drawing the attention of several powerful figures passing by. As a result, she never dared to practice again and would leave as quickly as possible.

As for subsequent refining attempts, the pills always fell short of the required level of refinement, to the point that Liu Xingxing even thought the effect of the first pill was just an illusion, the difference was too great.

The two of them, a person and a cat, entered the Xuanshan Sect quietly. Once they reached Qiwu Peak, Liu Xingxing didn't plan to disturb anyone so quickly, since she felt more at ease refining pills on her own turf.

However, Liu Xingxing didn't intend to hide it from the four kids on the peak, since they were now considered one of their own.

As soon as Liu Xingxing touched the ground in front of the courtyard, the four sensed her presence. At present, none of them dared to boldly venture up Qiwu Peak. Only one person could enter at the moment, and they probably knew who it was, so they happily returned to greet her.

Miao Xiaohua was the first to return. She ran over happily to greet them, but stopped abruptly when she saw the stranger's face and even stumbled.

"Senior, which peak are you an elder from? Our ancestor is not on the peak right now."

Ok?

Liu Xingxing was puzzled for a moment before belatedly realizing what she looked like. She had gotten so used to this illusion that she often forgot to dispel it. Not to mention Miao Xiaohua, there were very few people on the Yuanzhou Continent who could see through her illusion.

Liu Xingxing casually brushed her hand in front of her eyes, and her appearance instantly returned to its original aloof and ethereal state.

"It's not your fault, I just forgot."

Seeing that familiar face, Miao Xiaohua perked up again: "Grandpa, I knew it was you!"

Where are the three of them?

Miao Xiaohua said softly, "Brother Jincheng and Brother Dingtian are taking care of the spiritual plants, and Brother Qinwen is practicing his sword on the back mountain. They know that the Ancestor has returned, so they should all be on their way."

"Well, let's go to the front hall and wait for them. I have something to tell them."

Miao Xiaohua followed closely behind Liu Xingxing, entering the rather large front hall one after the other.

Liu Xingxing casually sat in the main seat, and Miao Xiaohua immediately brewed the spiritual tea that was always on hand.

A short while later, Qin Wen returned first.

Upon seeing the person, Qin Wen immediately bowed respectfully: "Qin Wen greets the Ancestor."

It's been more than three months since I last saw him, and the little guy has become a bit more composed, not as apprehensive as he was when we first met.

Liu Xingxing glanced at him, then gestured to Miao Xiaohua: "Well, sit down first, you sit down too."

"Thank you, Ancestor."

"Thank you, ancestor."

The two responded in unison.

After waiting a few more minutes, the two people behind them rushed over.

Although they were cultivators, Ding Tian and Zhu Jincheng were only at the Qi Refining stage. Ding Tian was covered in sweat and panting as he bowed.

"Ancestor, phew, Ancestor, you're back?"

Zhu Jin felt a bit more relaxed and also bowed, saying, "Greetings, Ancestor."

A faint, almost imperceptible scent of blood wafted over, and Liu Xingxing paused for a moment, stopping her petting of the cat.

She's only been away from home for a little over three months, how come someone is already thinking of rebelling? It seems she needs to reconsider refining a few Marrow Cleansing Pills.

Liu Xingxing casually said, "Please sit down."

"Thank you, Ancestor."

Liu Xingxing and the others sat down, not in a hurry to speak. They took a couple of sips of tea and remained silent for a while.

No one spoke up at the lower level, but Zhu Jincheng, who was sitting at the very front, was bolder and asked, "I wonder what instructions the Ancestor has for us?"

"...Before I speak, those who are not among the True Immortals cannot be questioned casually. Didn't Xiao Bai tell you this before?"

Liu Xingxing looked at him with a smile, her tone devoid of any reproach.

Zhu Jincheng's expression froze: "It was the junior who overstepped his bounds."

Liu Xingxing raised her hand, and four beams of light flashed by. She then said, "I have already given you your share for these three months, and each of you will also receive a bottle of first-grade Qi-stabilizing pills. Go back and cultivate diligently. If you reach the twelfth level of Qi Refining within ten years, I will help you break through the barrier and advance to the Foundation Establishment Realm. After that, we will discuss it further, without exception."

After all, they are not the main characters. If they have external assistance or pure spiritual roots, Foundation Establishment is as easy as eating and drinking. Reaching the twelfth level of Qi Refining in ten years is already the limit for people with mixed spiritual roots. Foundation Establishment is even more distant. The barrier between the two realms is not something that can be broken easily. Some people can only stop at the Qi Refining stage for their entire lives.

These words stunned all four of them.

Zhu Jincheng spoke up again: "Ancestor, are you planning to take us as your disciples?"

"I will never take on any disciples in my life."

Liu Xingxing still looked at him gently.

A hint of disappointment flashed across Qin Wen's eyes.

Ding Tian was completely dumbfounded.

Miao Xiaohua was so happy that she kept thanking them.

"Ancestor, we all have mixed spiritual roots. Ten years is probably too short a time..." Qin Wen replied, still somewhat clear-headed.

Liu Xingxing glanced at him indifferently: "I do not keep useless people under my command. You only have one chance. If no one reaches this level in ten years, you will all be dismissed..."

"What are you waiting for? Go and cultivate. Oh, and although you only have a ten-year limit, you must not be reckless or go astray. If you have any questions during your cultivation, you can come to me for answers."

The four had differing opinions and all took their leave.

Liu Xingxing took another sip of tea, then put Xiao Mo on the ground: "From now on, you can wander around Qiwu Peak as you please. I won't put any restrictions on you. That's my room over there. Come back when you're tired of playing, understand?"

"Go and play."

As if she understood, Xiao Mo darted out.

Liu Xingxing took two more sips of tea. The alchemy matter was no longer urgent. She wondered how the main characters were doing now. They had come back and gone straight to the top, and she hadn't heard any gossip.

Two days later, Liu Xingxing, having rested enough, secretly descended the mountain. This time, she used illusion magic to transform herself into a face that bore a striking resemblance to her previous life.

In modern times, she would be considered a semi-wealthy heiress, and she was quite pretty. Her drunkard father had worked hard in the years after his divorce before becoming an alcoholic, and he had achieved some success in business, gaining a little fame in the wealthy circles. Liu Xingxing also made a few friends, whose true intentions were unknown, and became a familiar face in the "rich wives' circle" and "heiress circle".

However, before she could truly become a heiress, her father's business failed, and the family fortune was either mortgaged or sold off, bringing her back to square one. Before Liu Xingxing could even get carried away, reality slapped her awake.

Looking at the familiar face in the bronze mirror, dressed in ancient style, he was suddenly reminded of many things from the past.

But the past is the past. Liu Xingxing skillfully concealed her cultivation level and aura, appearing to be just an ordinary disciple, and naturally walked to the main peak square.
