Pay to Cultivate Immortality? My Sect is Completely Free - Chapter 6

Chapter 6: No, You’re Too Young

This Immortal Technique from the Heavenly Dao Sect can complete a Zhoutian Cycle in just twenty breaths!

What does this mean?

In this world, one hour equals two thousand breaths, which means in one hour, a hundred Zhoutian Cycles!

(One breath is about 3-5 seconds, with no fixed value; this book uses 3.6 seconds per breath.)

A hundred Zhoutian Cycles in one hour!

What does this imply?

On the surface, it seems only slightly less than being double the efficiency of the Lingxiao Art, but in reality, the difference is more than tenfold!

This is because the higher the grade of an Immortal Technique, the purer the spiritual energy it absorbs and transforms, resulting in fewer impurities. Consequently, it takes less time to deal with these impurities, allowing for faster cultivation progress.

Dealing with impurities is far more challenging than simply cycling through and cultivating!

After all, one only needs to absorb while the other requires repeated refinement to ensure the spiritual energy is increasingly pure so that it won’t harm the meridians when flowing through them.

Thus, the more cycles an Immortal Technique can complete in an hour, the better its quality. In the end, even an additional single cycle can represent a massive difference, making it extremely valuable.

The Lingxiao Art, which completes sixty-one cycles in an hour, is enough to support a Top 500 Sect. How powerful is an Immortal Technique that completes a hundred cycles in an hour?

I thought the Lingxiao Art was invincible, but compared to this Immortal Technique from the Heavenly Dao Sect, it feels like a joke!

To Xiao Lingxi, such an Immortal Technique is like the most beautiful dress in the world, possessing incomparable allure.

“Immortal Master, do you still need disciples?”

Xiao Lingxi approached Su Bai, her beautiful eyes sparkling as she looked at him with eager anticipation.

Su Bai couldn’t help but laugh: “Little girl, you were just suspicious that I was a fraud. So now you want to join the fraud’s Sect?”

Xiao Lingxi’s face turned slightly red, feeling a bit embarrassed, but soon her expression grew serious as she sincerely said, “Immortal Master, Lingxi acknowledges her mistake and hopes you can forgive me.”

“Oh, then why don’t you tell me where I went wrong?” Su Bai said, looking at Xiao Lingxi with interest.

This little girl has a strong sense of justice and is quite bold, daring to challenge him and even coming to this remote wilderness alone.

“Lingxi shouldn’t have doubted the Immortal Master, and even less should she have spoken disrespectfully to the Immortal Master…” Xiao Lingxi lowered her head, appearing as if she was a well-behaved child who had made a mistake.

This posture immediately made Su Bai unable to suppress a laugh.

He held no malice toward Xiao Lingxi; he was just teasing her, after all, what could he hold against a little girl?

“These minor matters, I can’t be bothered to remember them, nor is there any need for me to get angry with a little girl like you.”

Su Bai waved his hand, indicating that he hadn’t taken it to heart.

“Thank you, Immortal Master! You’re so kind!”

Hearing Su Bai say this, Xiao Lingxi quickly expressed her gratitude, her beautiful eyes forming two crescent moons, and a smile appeared at the corner of her lips.

“Then Immortal Master, can I join the Heavenly Dao Sect now?”

She blinked her big eyes, looking at Su Bai with hopeful anticipation.

Su Bai looked over, scanning Xiao Lingxi from head to toe, then shook his head and said, “Not yet!”

“Ah, why not?”

Xiao Lingxi pouted her lips, feeling a bit wronged as she said, “Immortal Master, Lingxi can help you wash clothes, serve tea, and even massage your back and legs! I can do anything; please accept me!”

“No, you are too young.” Su Bai glanced at Xiao Lingxi once more before shaking his head.

“Too young?” Xiao Lingxi looked down, following Su Bai’s gaze to her own chest.

Although this place isn’t exactly hilly, it’s not small either.

Or does the Immortal Master prefer something bigger?

“What’s small about it? It’s not small at all!” Xiao Lingxi lifted her head, proudly puffing up her chest with a touch of the unique pride of a young girl.

*Ahem…* Su Bai cleared his throat twice, trying to mask his embarrassment as he said, “I didn’t mean that; what I meant was, you are still young, and our sect does not accept anyone who is a minor.”

“Young…” Xiao Lingxi muttered blankly to herself, and her pretty face turned slightly red. It seemed that she had misunderstood the Immortal Master.

“Immortal Master, let me clarify, I passed my coming-of-age ceremony three days ago, so I am already an adult, okay?”

Xiao Lingxi puffed her cheeks and earnestly defended herself.

“Really?” Su Bai was taken aback.

This little girl has already come of age?

Oh, I forgot.

In this world, adulthood isn’t at eighteen, but at sixteen!

“Little girl, it’s so late; why aren’t you going home? Aren’t your family worried?” Su Bai reminded her.

Xiao Lingxi pouted and muttered, “Who wants to go home?!”

“Oh?”

Su Bai raised an eyebrow, seeming a bit interested.

Goodness!

A rebellious girl running away from home?

That makes it even more unacceptable to accept her!

What if her parents come to cause trouble in a few days after taking her in?

“You want to join the Heavenly Dao Sect? No problem, but you need to bring your parents along; otherwise, I don’t want to end up as a kidnapper!”

Su Bai said with a serious look. Then, in a flash step, he entered the hall and slammed the door shut behind him.

“Hey, hey… what kind of person are you…”

Left standing there, Xiao Lingxi was dumbfounded.

………..

“Sleep at three and rise at six; the King of Hell praises my good health.”

Early in the morning, Su Bai stretched with a yawn and moved his limbs, preparing to check on his disciple’s progress from the night before.

However, as soon as he opened the door, he was taken aback by the scene before him.

The entire mountaintop was spotless, not a single dry blade of grass or fallen leaf to be found; the buildings were so clean they could reflect light, with not a speck of dust anywhere.

Many places on the mountaintop were adorned with pots of fresh flowers, and the air was filled with the fragrance of blossoms, mixed with a peculiar delicious aroma.

“Braised Pork!”

Following the enticing scent, Su Bai spotted a small wooden table nearby, fully laid out with a feast of seven or eight dishes, each exuding a tempting aroma.

Especially the large bowl of braised pork in the center, rich in gravy and succulent with fat, instantly awakened Su Bai’s appetite.

“Immortal Master, you’re awake?”

Xiao Lingxi popped out of nowhere, beaming as she ran over to Su Bai, a flattering expression on her face as she said, “I made this myself, Immortal Master, please give it a try!”

Waking up to such a delicious meal, what kind of experience is that?

Before his time travel, Su Bai, who was a shut-in relying on takeout from trendy restaurants every day, felt that happiness had come too suddenly! He picked up his chopsticks and grabbed a piece of braised pork, but as soon as he popped it into his mouth, his movements seemed to come to a halt.

“How is it? Is it delicious?”

Xiao Lingxi asked with a big smile, shallow dimples appearing on her cheeks. She was incredibly confident in her cooking skills! Her mother often said that the best way to attract a man is to first capture his stomach.

“It’s delicious, really too delicious; you don’t have to make it next time.”

In a flash, Su Bai decisively dashed away.

“Where’s the water, where’s the water?”

“Is it so good that you’ve flown away?”

Seeing Su Bai suddenly disappear, Xiao Lingxi scratched her head. Could it really be that delicious? She skeptically picked up a piece of meat and put it in her mouth.

After tasting it, her expression mirrored Su Bai’s from earlier. She couldn’t savor the fresh meat or the sweetness of the sugar; all she could discern was one overwhelming flavor.

That flavor was like taking a mouthful of salt, which relentlessly assaulted her taste buds, making it difficult to calm down.

Xiao Lingxi’s eyes immediately turned red. It was like going to a restaurant in Northeast China and telling the owner that the serving was too small to fill her up.

It was offering a Guangdong person a bite of a hellishly spicy pepper while blindfolded.

“Can I have a cup of pearl milk tea without pearls but with extra salt, please?”
