The Eldest Senior Sister's Age

"I'll say it again, don't imitate me." Yun Zhi repeatedly warned, worried that Lu Yang might do something rash and want to compete with her.

"Absolutely, absolutely not!" Lu Yang assured him.

"Alright, I'm going to start cultivating now. You can continue choosing Pill Formula."

"Yes."

Having learned the specific process of his senior sister's Core Formation, Lu Yang immediately abandoned the idea of imitating her, leaving not a trace behind.

This Pill Formula is too outrageous. He is just an ordinary Sword Spirit Root, nothing special, and doesn't have the talent of his senior sister.

The old nursery rhyme was "Twinkle, twinkle, little star, how I wonder what you are," so shouldn't it be changed to "Twinkle, twinkle, little star, how I wonder what you are," or "Twinkle, twinkle, little Golden Core, how I wonder what you are," now?

Reasonable and easy to pronounce.

With one question resolved, another arose in my mind—just how old is my senior sister?

How many hundred years old exactly?

Lu Yang was eager to investigate the truth.

Lu Yang remembered that the first stage of the sect's selection process was conducted by Senior Brother Dai Bufan. With just a touch, Senior Brother Dai could tell a person's Root Bone and age, "Fairy, do you have any Law Technique that can see through a person's age?"

"Yes, I have."

Lu Yang had only asked casually, but he didn't expect there actually was one?

She truly is a fairy.

"Hehe, my Law Technique is quite remarkable; it can ignore the opponent's cultivation level and even reveal their age."

"That's amazing?!"

"Of course! Don't you know who I am?"

This is a minor Law Technique, or rather, a simple skill. It's easy to learn. After memorizing the High Antiquity and practicing it twice, Lu Yang mastered it.

Lu Yang activated High Antiquity Law Technique and felt a sudden opening before him, as if he had suddenly understood something.

"Try it out on yourself first."

Lu Yang spread his hands and saw a number appear before him—sixteen years old.

That's right, he's only sixteen years old.

"Let's take another look at the fairy." Lu Yang used High Antiquity Law Technique to look at the serene and content immortal fairy, and a number appeared before his eyes—sixteen years old.

"Um?"

Although the Immortal Fairy always boasted that she was a genius beauty who died young, she was only sixteen years old this year.

Even a Lu Yang could tell that this was utter nonsense.

Becoming an immortal at sixteen, is one year equal to one era?

Lu Yang looked at a passing senior brother with a puzzled expression; he also appeared to be sixteen years old!

"... Is there something wrong with your Law Technique, Fairy? Why does everyone I see look sixteen?" Considering his own embarrassing past, Lu Yang first suspected that he had cultivated it incorrectly.

The Immortal Fairy declared confidently, "Forget whether the age is correct or not, just tell me if you can see someone's age regardless of their cultivation level!"

"..."

The Immortal Fairy continued, "In High Antiquity times, everyone liked to rank people by age, which is not good. Does that mean that what the older people say is right, and what the younger people say is wrong?"

"In order to reverse this situation, I specially created this Law Technique that makes everyone look sixteen years old. Unfortunately, my ideas were too advanced at the time, and people couldn't accept them."

"Your idea is still very advanced even today."

How do I calculate my senior sister's age?

Lu Yang's first thought was to find out which generation of disciples he was.

The Ask Dao Sect, or rather the Five Great Immortal Sects, recruits disciples in a very regular manner, once every three years without interruption.

He quickly rejected this approach.

The Ask Dao Sect dares to recruit even Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou. It seems like the threshold is low, but in reality, the threshold is ridiculously high. Lu Yang has recruited quite a few disciples this year.

Some people who participate in the selection meet the Root Bone requirements, but their willpower does not, so they cannot enter the Ask Dao Sect. This sometimes leads to the Ask Dao Sect simply not being able to recruit anyone.

In this way, Lu Yang would not be able to calculate his senior sister's age by determining which generation of disciples he was.

"Then let's ask Dai Bufan! Senior Brother Dai is in the same year as Senior Sister, he must know her age!"

Lu Yang acted immediately, but because it was the third test for entering the sect, he felt uneasy facing Senior Brother Dai Bufan alone.

Find a helper.

"Go ask Senior Brother Dai about Senior Sister's age?" Upon hearing Lu Yang's plan, Meng Jingzhou showed an eager expression.

"Won't our senior sister find out?"

"No, Senior Sister was cultivating when I left, she didn't have time to notice us here."

"What are you waiting for? Let's go, let's go." Meng Jingzhou urged Lu Yang to hurry up and leave.

"You want to ask about Senior Sister's age?" Dai Bufan looked at Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou with a strange expression.

"You two are quite bold, daring to ask about such a secret. Be careful not to bring trouble upon yourselves!" Senior Brother Dai Bufan kindly warned the two that this matter was a top-level secret of the Ask Dao Sect, even more confidential than information about Dao Fruits, and should not be told to others.

"Do you know what happened to the last disciple who asked this question!"

"Just asking casually." Meng Jingzhou put on a business smile, which looked very fake.

"Yes, yes, we just care about Senior Sister. We feel that she works hard day and night for this sect. Knowing her age makes it easier to give her a gift." Lu Yang had the same smile as Meng Jingzhou.

Dai Bufan rolled his eyes; only a fool would believe these two.

This is a taboo subject; it must never be mentioned.

"Aren't you afraid that Senior Sister will find out about this?"

Meng Jingzhou chuckled, "Senior Sister is currently cultivating and has no time to attend to this matter. As long as Senior Brother Dai doesn't mention it, Senior Sister will never know about this!"

Dai Bufan gently shook his head. "Senior Sister possesses extraordinary abilities; how could she not know about this? I advise you not to ask any more questions; this is an extremely dangerous matter."

"There won't be any danger." Meng Jingzhou felt that this was no big deal.

Hearing this, Dai Bufan said with a half-smile, "Is that so? In that case, why don't you just turn around and ask the person involved?"

"Huh? What do you mean?"

Both of them had a bad feeling, sensing that the temperature around them was dropping rapidly, as if they were going to be frozen into ice sculptures.

The two turned their heads stiffly and saw their senior sister standing behind them, graceful and elegant, looking at Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou with an expressionless face, revealing neither joy nor anger.

Dai Bufan sighed, "See? I told you all long ago not to ask this question; it would bring trouble."

From the moment the two found her, the senior sister stood quietly behind her. Dai Bufan frantically hinted that these two were determined to die and couldn't be stopped.

Perhaps they were destined for this calamity.

The eldest sister said softly, "Junior brother."

Lu Yang was startled and quickly replied, "Here!"

"Junior Brother Meng."

"Arrive!"

"Do you two find cultivation boring, and thus spend your leisure time worrying about such trivial matters?"

The senior sister's voice was unusually gentle, as if she were concerned about Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou's cultivation progress.

Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou were drenched in cold sweat, their clothes soaked through, trembling and unsure of what to say.

I tested positive for COVID-19 for the first time. I have a fever, feel weak all over, and am in great discomfort. (One update today)
