He Said That and Then Jumped Off the Cliff and Flew Away

The young Daoist priest, right before my eyes, holding that enormous alchemy furnace, jumped off the cliff?!

Even though Zhang Xuanzhi knew that Lin·Purple Firmament was a cultivator, he was still quite frightened. The others were even more terrified, their hearts pounding so hard they felt like they were about to jump out of their chests.

However, before they could say anything, they saw Lin·Purple Firmament, who had jumped off the cliff, suddenly rise from below...

Then...

And just like that, carrying the alchemy furnace, he flew away!

They're gone!

It's done!!!

It floated away lightly and quickly, disappearing into the sky and clouds in the blink of an eye, leaving no trace.

Holy crap!

The trio was terrified, but then they were incredibly excited. "Gods!!!"

Zhang Xuanzhi exclaimed in amazement, repeatedly exclaiming, "That Heavenly Venerable Wuliang, fellow Daoist is truly amazing, amazing, amazing, too amazing!"

"No wonder it made me feel young again. I never thought I would actually witness the magic of immortals in my lifetime."

"So humans really can fly!"

He exclaimed in surprise from ahead.

Behind them, Li Qingyi and his three junior disciples were dumbfounded!

Is this... a dream or is it really happening right before my eyes?

At this moment, they couldn't help but seriously consider this question, and with utmost seriousness.

Is it a dream? Why does it feel so real?

Is this a true story? Then why does it sound so Mystical Fantasy?

The trio looked at each other, speechless and choked with emotion.

They certainly heard Zhang Xuanzhi's words, and even recorded them.

But... besides being incredibly shocked and excited, they were also speechless, utterly speechless!

"Is this what you call... believing in science?"

"Where in the world are there any gods or ghosts?!"

"Do you think we're easy to fool?!"

They were both amused and exasperated.

What kind of situation is this?

We finally mustered up the courage to talk to you, but you dismissed us with just a few words. We almost believed you!

If you hadn't turned around and done something completely illogical...

"Science?"

One of the men's mouths twitched repeatedly. "I feel like Newton's coffin lid is about to burst open..."

"I think Einstein would approve of you." The other person wasn't much better off.

"He keeps saying he believes in science, then turns around and flies up to go home for dinner, all while carrying a pill furnace that looks like it weighs at least two or three hundred pounds?!"

"..."

Is this something a human being would do?!

Eight people stood on the edge of a cliff, bewildered and disheveled by the mountain wind...

Lin·Purple Firmament, however, had already left the Longhu Mountain area and was heading towards her residence in C City.

Taking a plane?

I came by plane because I haven't experienced this much before, and if I didn't find anything and still flew here, wouldn't that be a waste of my True Essence?

But now that the alchemy furnace has been found, what's wrong with expending some True Essence to fly back?

For Golden Core cultivators, flying through the air is just a basic skill, and they can even fly faster than a regular airplane!

At this moment, she started thinking again.

"The Old Celestial Master is likely to face a lot of trouble afterward..."

"Hey, this is good too. With him taking care of all this trouble, I can relax a bit!"

What trouble is the Old Celestial Master?

That's quite a story.

Suddenly you look thirty years younger?

First, he must prove that he is himself! Whether it's a DNA test or some other procedure, he must first prove that he is himself!

After the proof?

There will definitely be countless people who want to interview him and find out about his current situation. Isn't that another kind of trouble?

Even if the Old Celestial Master's status is enough to make him refuse many people who come to him, it's impossible for him to refuse them all, after all... right?

Even if all these things are dealt with...

What do people do when they want to find themselves but can't?

They also came to find the Old Celestial Master!

Because he's the only one who knows the inside story, why did he suddenly become younger? What did he do? What happened?!

Isn't this a hassle?

It's incredibly troublesome.

"As expected, this Saintess has always been very clever..."

"If I dump this trouble on him, I'll have far fewer problems!"

Suddenly looking decades younger—that's a miracle!

Moreover, it was someone like the Old Celestial Master of the Celestial Master Residence, a 'cultivator of Daoism,' which inevitably aroused people's imaginations. In addition, he deliberately allowed that 'triad' to film the video...

I can't let people keep calling me a ghost afterward, can I?!

This both revealed his existence and reversed the image of the 'ghost'.

That's killing two birds with one stone, no, three birds with one stone!

Lin·Purple Firmament was secretly pleased with herself, praising her own cleverness.

When Lin·Purple Firmament returned to her residence in C City and swallowed a Spiritual Energy Pill to replenish her energy, a new wave of controversy suddenly broke out online!

All because the trio leaked the video!

They didn't just film Lin·Purple Firmament jumping off the cliff and flying away; they also added to the footage later.

For example, they filmed the Old Celestial Master for a short while, and their own complaints were also captured on camera...

Then...

The video went viral!

"Holy crap?! This isn't a ghost!"

Numerous platforms and countless netizens participated, with some platforms and forums even creating dedicated columns for the relevant events to facilitate discussion.

"What the hell?! He's a ghost! I said from the beginning he didn't look like a ghost! How can a ghost be this handsome?"

"Is the issue now about ghosts? So our world is actually a world of cultivation? Is he a cultivator? Or a deity?"

"Do you know the Old Celestial Master? I saw him from afar when I visited the Celestial Master Residence last month. He was clearly in his seventies or eighties, and although he looked relatively healthy, I guess he didn't have many years left to live. Does this mean the Old Celestial Master has become younger?!"

"So... the Old Celestial Master was actually a cultivator, wasn't he?!"

"Holy crap, why should I even go to work?! I'm quitting, going to the Celestial Master Residence, becoming an apprentice to cultivate immortality!"

"Haha, you're too late! I've already bought my plane ticket! Let me show you my ticket~ (attached image x1)!"

"Hey guys upstairs, don't be silly! Didn't you hear what the young Daoist priest said? You have to believe in science..."

"God believe in science? I'll believe your nonsense! This little Daoist priest is really wicked. He keeps saying he believes in science, but then he turns around and jumps off a cliff to go home for dinner!"

"If you ask me, none of the three tourists who filmed the video had any Immortal Opportunity, so the young Daoist priest didn't want to take them in. That's why he used the excuse of believing in science..."

"Wait a minute, didn't you guys forget that he's also carrying a Alchemy Furnace?!"

"!!!!"

"Although many of you professionals say the video isn't faked and has multiple angles, I strongly suggest you examine it more carefully, and at the same time, confirm that the young Old Celestial Master is indeed the real Old Celestial Master..."

It's so popular!

It was just a fleeting moment. What celebrity? What news?

They'll be suppressed in a heartbeat!

Is it trending or second place?

But look at how many people are paying attention to the top trending topic?

Paying money to be number one may seem prestigious, but the problem is, at this crucial juncture, it's actually quite embarrassing and makes you a laughingstock.

After watching the video, Wu Guodong put down his phone, feeling a headache coming on...

"This kid is too high-profile. If he continues like this, I'm afraid the higher-ups will come down to investigate before I even report the matter."

"But... he can actually fly?!"

He was startled too!

As modern people, who could remain calm after witnessing this scene?

"Still believe in science..."

"I really believed your nonsense, you're the most unscientific guy ever!"

He was cursing and swearing.

It seems they've completely forgotten that it was they who "elevated" Lin·Purple Firmament to the position of scientific advisor for this example...

Inside the police station at the foot of Mount Wuyi.

After watching the video of Lin·Purple Firmament saying "I believe in science" but then turning around and jumping off a cliff, Director Zhang Jianjun was completely dumbfounded.

"So, this is probably not a ghost, right?"

"What kind of ghost dares to go to the Celestial Master Residence and call the Old Celestial Master his brother?"

"You scared me... I thought we could only use physical methods to exorcise ghosts. And no wonder we haven't been able to find anything during this time. It turns out you went to the Celestial Master Residence."

"Etc!"

He suddenly realized. "What about my case?!"

I was all prepared to use physical methods to exorcise the ghost, but then I was suddenly told that it wasn't a ghost, but a cultivator?

Holy crap? A cultivator?!

What's wrong with this world?!

Inside the laboratory where Old Chen worked.

Wang Dong was stunned when he saw Lin·Purple Firmament jumping off a cliff on his phone, and then... flying away!

"Holy crap?!"

"Him, him, him, him, him, him!!!"

"He's really cultivating immortality?!"

He recalled that about two months ago, Lin Fan came to him and said that he would often take leave and asked him to cover for him with Old Chen.

At that time, he even asked Lin Fan where he was going.

Lin Fan grinned and said he was going to cultivate immortality.

What did I say back then?

I don't believe you!

But now...

"My God!"

"You can really cultivate immortality?!"

"Wait, what did he say back then?"

His eyes darted around, and he suddenly remembered the 'agreement' they had made back then. "Back then, we agreed that if I helped him cover for him and took care of Old Chen's side, he would introduce me to a few girlfriends, right?"

"Tsk!"

"If you introduced me to a few cultivator girlfriends~~~ Wouldn't that be amazing?!"

This guy instantly became incredibly excited.

But it only lasted a moment. He wasn't stupid; he was just an ordinary person. Why should some 'fairy goddess' want to be his girlfriend? Or even several?

What?

Handsome?

The problem is, I'm not even that handsome!

"Wait a minute, that guy is really handsome! And before that, he was always perfectly normal, so why did he suddenly start cultivating immortality? Who taught him that?"

"Could it be..."

"That guy is handsome, so he seduced a female immortal and embarked on the Immortal Path?!"

"I feel the deep malice this world harbors towards people who are ugly!!!"

"No, I have to call that guy!"

"Wang Dong?"

Looking at the caller ID, Lin·Purple Firmament recalled Lin Fan's introduction, "This is his friend, right? He said he called him Dongzi?"

"Hello?" She answered the phone and spoke first, "Dongzi?!"
