I Don't Want That Kind of Immortality

The fastest update to Seeking the Dao in the Mortal World!

Upon entering the cave abode, Liusu emerged from the Wolf Tooth Club, and a small figure of white mist floated in front of Qin Yi.

Qin Yi continued walking forward, but the little man floated backward, refusing to let him pass and staring at him endlessly.

Qin Yi tried to reach out and press the little figure's face to the side, but he missed and the figure passed right through him.

Helpless, he stopped and asked, "What are you doing...?"

The little man spoke up, "Big pig's trotter."

"..."

"Scumbag."

"..."

"Don't you think it's wrong to flirt with other girls?"

"... because there was some revelation in the dream."

Liusu became interested. "What did you dream about?"

"It's nothing, it just happened to match the background of a story I know. In that story, the male protagonist treated the female protagonist with respect, but she ended up with someone else..."

Qin Yi said irritably, "Don't talk nonsense if you don't know the details—and where do you get the audacity to call others idiots?"

Liusu Su scoffed, "Whether I know the details or not, I'm still clueless. Otherwise, why would you start touching me? Isn't it because you don't want to repeat yourself?"

Qin Yi was startled. "How did you know I touched you inappropriately?"

Liusu looked at him like he was an idiot for a long time before saying, "Ju Yunxiu knows, and Qing Cha knows too."

She patted his head with her small hand and said, "So you're the only idiot who doesn't know that you really are with your Senior Sister."

Qin Yi remained expressionless.

Now I know why my Senior Sister hid in the room...

Liusu still glanced at him sideways, her eyes filled with utter contempt.

Qin Yi said helplessly, "Why are you looking at me like that... Fine, fine, it's true what you said. I don't want to regret it only after I've lost her. I should have seized the opportunity when she was in front of me. If I'm timid and hesitant, afraid to take the initiative, am I supposed to wait for her to make the first move? Or should I remain silent and let things fizzle out, only to be heartbroken when she's with someone else?"

Liusu stroked her chin without answering; she had almost watched Qin Yi slowly change. The more experiences he had, the more his views shifted, primarily manifested in his increasing initiative and a growing degree of aggression.

If you have a desire, you can't just passively wait for it to fall from the sky.

I once descended into the rift seeking something, but that was for others. Now, my seeking something is finally for myself.

It deliberately asked, "Have you ever considered that when your desires increase and your heart is filled with cravings, does that contradict the true meaning of spiritual practice?"

Qin Yi pondered for a while, then gently shook his head. "Bang Bang, my starting point for cultivation is not to achieve immortality... On the matter of immortality, the impact Brother Qing Lin had on me will never fade."

The Liusu watched him quietly. It had never imagined that Li Qinglin would have such a profound impact on Qin Yi. It seemed that the great fire in Southern Li was the most crucial turning point on Qin Yi's cultivation path, determining many of his future directions.

So everything originated from Southern Li, whether it was her encounter with Qin Yi's first woman, or the first milestone on his path of cultivation.

Then Qin Yi continued, "Even if you call him narrow-minded, Brother Qing Lin's point is that there are many things in the world more important than immortality, and that's not wrong. In my cultivation, I strive to become stronger, to control my own destiny, not to sacrifice everything for immortality. If immortality requires cultivating indifference to everything, that kind of immortality... I don't want it."

Liusu remained noncommittal, only smiling slightly, "Evil Dao."

Qin Yi pointed at it and laughed, "A magic wand."

Liusu laughed heartily, looking up at the sky. "So, how are you going to make a move on your Senior Sister?"

Qin Yi said, "We refined people do refined things, so of course we have refined methods."

"What methods?"

"Write a book."

They're about to go on a mission, yet they still have time to write a book... because everyone knows that the mission is just an excuse.

In reality, Ju Yunxiu didn't take the Da Qian Emperor's "Envoy Seeking Assistance" to heart; otherwise, she wouldn't have waited several days until Qin Yi came out of seclusion to drink with her before bringing it up. In Ju Yunxiu's mind, this was just a good excuse to send Qin Yi away for a while so she could have some peace and quiet. From Qin Yi's perspective, however, his interest in the painting far outweighed his interest in protecting the Great Qian Dynasty.

Then there's no rush. Let's make all the preparations first. For example, let's break through to the sixth level of Yi Jin Jing in our martial arts cultivation before venturing out. The more strength we have, the more secure we'll be when we're out and about.

For example, he wanted to finish writing "The Return of the Return of the Condor Heroes" before leaving.

Sending this book to Ju Yunxiu is, from the perspective of a scholar, a very undisguised advance, openly revealing the teacher-student relationship, with the intentions made obvious.

It was a good time for me to leave for a while, so as not to directly face Ju Yunxiu's explosive reaction after reading the book. I would wait a while before returning and letting her calm down before making any decisions.

More importantly, when this book is shared with others, it can instantly raise their acceptance of the master-disciple relationship to a whole new level. Even if someone criticizes it, there will be opposing voices, relieving her of any worries.

Killing two birds with one stone.

This time, Qin Yi didn't use his divine sense to input the jade slip to "instantly finish" a book. Although he still used his divine sense to save time, he had to outline and revise many details this time.

The reason why he casually produced "Jin Mei" without making any changes, and did not care whether Ju Yunxiu could understand the allusions in it, was because he chose this book with the intention of offending people. He did not intend to explain it clearly. What does it matter to him whether others can understand it or not?

Surprisingly, perhaps because Ju Yunxiu reads so many books, she can understand many of the tropes by analogy. She can also grasp the meaning of unfamiliar allusions by guessing. For example, she doesn't know who Pan An and Deng Tong are, but that doesn't stop her from understanding what they mean.

She didn't bother to ask where the story came from, otherwise it would have been really hard to explain.

Now that we're going to copy a book as a signal to attack her, we can't be so casual. We have to figure out the beginning and the end of it and not leave any loopholes.

For a cultivator at the Heart of the Harp Realm, their Divine Sense has been developed, and their memory has improved significantly. They can recall things hidden deep in their memory that they thought they had long forgotten in considerable detail. That's why they were able to create "Jin Mei" before, even though it lacked many details. Now, with even deeper cultivation, they can almost perfectly replicate the original version of "The Return of the Condor Heroes."

Then I realized that true plagiarism is something no normal person can do...

Without the premise of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes," the relationship between Guo Jing and Yang Guo at the beginning of "The Return of the Condor Heroes" would be difficult to explain, let alone anything else. If you were to write "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" first, you wouldn't even know how to explain the fact that these two families are "descendants of the Generals of the Yang Family" and "descendants of Surpassing Ren Gui Guo Sheng." Any casual remark would be a nonsensical allusion to people from another world, and in the end, the amount of work to revise would be even greater.

The level of martial arts doesn't need much change; it's roughly lower than the martial arts of ordinary people in this world. National conflicts are also manageable, as various fictional works are not uncommon in this world, and people are already used to them.

Qin Yi abandoned the idea of writing "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" first, only using it as a brief prelude in the prologue. He then painstakingly deleted and revised it, racking his brains to make it coherent, and it took him several days to barely finish copying the book. Inputting with divine sense was naturally tens of thousands of times faster than handwriting, but compared to his feat of copying Jin Yong's novels in seconds, it was still a torment.

The little white mist figure that the Liusu had transformed into stood on his shoulder, reading the manuscript with great interest.

"Hey, what kind of eagle is that?"

"Sand Sculpture."

"Why make it into a silly Sand Sculpture? Wouldn't Wolf Tooth Club be better?"

Qin Yi: "???"

Liusu retorted confidently, "That eagle was with Yang Guo for sixteen years, far longer than Yang Guo and Little Dragon Girl were together. Isn't that the same as you and me?"

Qin Yi was stunned for a long time before saying, "So you really are Sand Sculpture."
