[Guest, do you know what you were like just now?]
After coming out from Yun Yao’s room, Ming Shu specially went to check the place where the man was thrown. She didn’t see anyone. Probably the man had been picked up by someone else.
The Harmony System interrupted her thoughts then.
She asked curiously in response, “What was I like?”
[A pervert who rapes girls.]
“...”
Tell me, Harmony System, am I your biological Guest? Is it really good for you to describe your Guest like this?
[...] I wasn’t talking nonsense. You indeed were like a pervert.
The Harmony System chose to shut up and not bicker with Ming Shu.
It was going to think up stupid ideas... Pah! It was going to think about how to get Hatred Points.
...
Since Yun Yao was beaten fiercely by Ming Shu, she didn’t dare to cause trouble for her. Sometimes when she met Ming Shu out and about, she would avoid her as if she was afraid of Ming Shu beating her again.
Ming Shu thought this fake female protagonist was so timid...
Or probably she was secretly accumulating strength.
No matter which one she was, Ming Shu lost her mission target for gaining Hatred Points. She couldn’t sneak into the room of the fake female protagonist and have a nightly meeting with her whenever, right? That would cost much physical power. She would have to eat many, many snacks to recover.
She was not here to cultivate immortality. But if she didn’t, when the female protagonist got into the internal division while she was still in the external division, she wouldn’t have chance to collect Hatred Points then.
So Ming Shu had to start practicing.
“Xuan Ji, why are you sitting here all day long?”
Lin Jin climbed up the back mountain with his errand boys, hands on his knees, out of breath. He asked the person who was sitting cross-legged on a big stone not far away, biting a rabbit leg.
“Phew, I’m exhausted.”
This place is so high, how did she climb up?
Ming Shu answered, “I’m absorbing the essence of the sun and moon.”
Lin Jin and the several errand boys collectively twitched the corners of their mouths. Absorbing what essence of the sun and moon? Does she think that she is a plant or something?
“Did you bring any food?” Ming Shu suddenly looked at Lin Jin with glittering eyes.
Lin Jin was speechless. “Aren’t you eating right now? Speaking of which, where did you hunt the rabbit? I remember there were no animals nearby...”
He said this as he waved to the errand boys behind him.
The errand boys dragged a bag forward and put it in front of Ming Shu.
Ming Shu threw aside the bones in her hand and went to check the bag immediately. “Hunted from the neighboring peak.”
Neighboring peak...
What neighboring peak?
The place where they were now was outside the Seven Peaks. Only internal disciples were allowed to enter the scope of the Seven Peaks.
So was she saying that she went into the Seven Peaks?
WTF!?
How bold!
“Didn’t the people of Seven Peaks find you?” Lin Jin asked curiously.
“I didn’t go in the Seven Peaks, how would they find me?” They’d set all kinds of chaotic formations outside the Seven Peaks, which was too annoying. She didn’t have the strength to break them.
“Then what neighboring peak?”
“Outside Yin Sect.”
Lin Jin: “...”
He was thinking too much.
No, wait.
“Did you go down the mountain?” Lin Jin was surprised.
Ming Shu tilted her head and showed a confused face. “Can’t I go down the mountain?”
“Outer sect disciples are not allowed to go down the mountain willfully. And at the mountain entrance there’s also a formation, how did you go down the mountain?” Lin Jin said in an even more excited tone.
“On my feet? I can’t hide myself under the ground.” I was indeed trying to fly, but limited to my ability, I didn’t make it.
Lin Jin: “...”
So she really broke the formation and went down the mountain, then came back after hanging around in the neighboring peak. And no one in the sect found this out.
She was a hidden master, wasn’t she!
The three-spirit-root just couldn’t stop her from shining.
Ming Shu suddenly jumped off the stone. She stood in front of Lin Jin, who was lost in his rich imagination, and leaned over to look into his eyes. “Young man, do you want to cultivate immortality?”
“W... what?”
Ming Shu smiled like a mountain breeze, beguiling people with her eyes.
Lin Jin flushed and his heart rate sped up slightly. He didn’t recover from his own confused thoughts until after quite a while. Wasn’t I cultivating immortality?he thought.
“The method those people teach is boring. I can teach you something different.”
“Different?”
Ming Shu nodded. “Do you want to learn?”
Lin Jin actually didn’t like cultivation very much. He went up the mountain entirely because of the decision of the family elders. He couldn’t refute the decision, so he came here.
As for those things the deacon elders had taught him, he just leaned them to complete tasks. And he never took the initiative to practice.
He also didn’t intend to stay in the Yin Sect for a long time. After one year, if he couldn’t enter the internal division, he would go down the mountain to be a lord of foppery, squandering his time.
But when Ming Shu asked him that question, Lin Jin suddenly gave birth to a desire.
He wanted to cultivate immortality.
“Yes.” Lin Jin answered. He was very curious about how many surprises she could give him.
Ming Shu smiled brightly. “But I have one condition: you have to bring me food every day.”
Lin Jin: “...” I
“Okay, no problem.” It was not difficult for him to get some food.
When the condition of cooperation was reached, Ming Shu wouldn’t have to worry about how to get food.
“Oh, right, Elder Xu has been looking for you recently, but you were not there. He was very angry and said he was going to drive you out of the sect.” Lin Jin remembered his purpose for coming here.
“Well, it’s menopause, don’t worry, just ignore him.” Ming Shu patted Lin Jin’s shoulder and spoke in a dismissive tone.
Lin Jin: “...” WTF? Who is going to be driven out! It’s you, hello!
How come you started comforting me now!
...
Ming Shu stayed on the mountain all the time. Every day except for eating, she would be in a daze. And she was accompanied by several other people, who were also in a daze just like her.
Lin Jin: “...” So what on earth are we doing?
Didn’t she say she would teach me about cultivation?
“Xuan Ji, didn’t you say that you will teach me?”
“Right...” Ming Shu looked back and thought for a while. “What do you want to learn?”
Lin Jin felt that his world opened another door again. “I can choose?”
Ming Shu continued with her casual attitude. “Yeah, whatever you choose, but I probably don’t know.”
She! Probably! Doesn’t! Know!
The door that just opened was slammed shut ruthlessly.
Lin Jin went crazy. “What do you want me to choose?” She was definitely trying to trick him.
“Probably you will choose a thing that I just happen to know, right?” Ming Shu smiled. “Come on, choose whatever you like. As long as it’s not something with a heavy flavor, even if I don’t know, I can make it up for you.”
Lin Jin: “...”
He better go down the mountain to the deacon elder.
Lin Jin thought for a long time, and then he said, “I want to learn array formation.”
Ming Shu nodded. “Okay, I will teach you to build a foundation first.”
Lin Jin rolled his eyes in his heart and believed Ming Shu must be joking.
The process of cultivation was divided into eight levels, including Qi Refinement, Soul Condensation, Foundation Establishment, Inedia, Golden Core, Nascent Soul, Soul Release, and Tribulation Transcendence. After a person successfully completed the Tribulation Transcendence stage, they would ascend to immortality.
Before becoming an inner sect disciple, an outer sect disciple would be considered as highly impressive if they could reach the level of Soul Condensation. Now she said that she would teach him Foundation Establishment directly.
Was he in a dream now?
“Xuan Ji, are you kidding me?” It was not that he didn’t believe her, it was that there was no reason for him to believe.
Ming Shu chewed a fruit and vaguely said, “This world is full of reiki, building a foundation is very easy.”
“If it was really that easy... there would be many internal disciples.”
Ming Shu gave him a look and smiled. “You are limited by too many terms and articles on paper. Cultivation is based on comprehension and talent.”
“If you can’t communicate with heaven and earth and then resonate, you’ll never want to step onto the avenue.” Then Ming Shu changed the topic suddenly. “So young man, let’s absorb the essence of the sun and moon.”
Lin Jin: “...” Could he refuse?
