The Old Bachelor's Dignity

"Is it true that he has no Desire other than the thirst for knowledge?"

Bai Qiuran asked.

"Yes, his other Desire have disappeared."

Xue Ling nodded and said, "If you want me to help you test him, then you don't need to worry at all."

As the two spoke, Wisdom Immortal observed Ming Ying and Xue Ling. After a moment, he laughed and said, "Oh, neither of you are ordinary ghosts. One was born on the battlefield, abandoned on the battlefield, and died on the battlefield, absorbing other broken Souls to become Ghost Infant. The other died unjustly and harbored deep resentment, killing countless people before being subdued and becoming Underworld Emissary. What a strange combination."

Upon hearing this, Ming Ying shrank back somewhat timidly, while Xue Ling raised an eyebrow in displeasure.

"Quickly put him away."

He said to Bai Qiuran.

"Why don't you take him back to the Ghost Realm?"

Bai Qiuran tossed the Skull in her hand.

"No, no!"

Wisdom Immortal retorted, "The Underworld Ghost Realm is so boring! Following a guy who goes to work and comes home every day, how can that satisfy my thirst for knowledge!"

Xue Ling shook his head and said, "The Ghost Realm doesn't like this kind of inquisitive guy. Keep him around. As long as you don't do anything reckless, he'll answer almost anything you ask, and he'll be of great help to you."

"That's right, that's right, young friend Bai... no, Old Bai, aren't you going to explore the Imperial Mausoleum of the First Ancestor Demon Emperor next? Look at me, with my appraisal skills maxed out and someone so convenient to bring along, wouldn't that be a great help to you?"

Wisdom Immortal shouted, "I also want to see the Imperial Mausoleum of the First Ancestor Demon Emperor and learn what happened between him, the Immortal Emperor, and the Gods in Ancient Times... Please, just take me with you, you can even use me as an object."

Bai Qiuran. He really didn't trust this Wisdom Immortal. Even though the other party was a survivor from the previous era, and even though Xue Ling said that he had no other Desire besides the thirst for knowledge, he didn't know if this guy would become a menace in the future.

He didn't know Wisdom Immortal well enough, but Xue Ling wouldn't accept him. So the safest course of action now was to keep him by his side. Firstly, he could keep a close eye on him, and secondly, Wisdom Immortal had provided him with a clue to his Foundation Establishment. Logically and emotionally, he should reciprocate in this way.

"Then you can stay with me for now."

Bai Qiuran happily hung the Wisdom Immortal back on the side of his belt, then asked Xue Ling and Ming Ying, "Is the matter of the Earth Immortal considered settled?"

"Yes, beneath the Ten Lands of Jiuzhou, there are still many Earth Immortal Ancient City, and there may even be surviving Earth Immortal among them. However, that is no longer a matter for your mortal world. My Underworld Emissaries will handle the cleanup."

Xue Ling nodded.

"Thank you very much then. It's been a pleasure doing business with you."

Bai Qiuran clasped his hands in a respectful greeting, then immediately said coldly, "You can all get out of here. I have to go do my own thing."

Seeing his impatient expression, Xue Ling asked, "Have you found a clue to break through to the Foundation Establishment?"

"Yes."

Bai Qiuran beamed with joy when the topic was brought up.

"More than three thousand years, we've finally seen the end."

"Oh."

Xue Ling chuckled and said, "Don't be too happy yet. As the saying goes, 'He who travels a hundred miles is only halfway there at ninety.' It might take you more than three thousand years to find this clue."

Enraged, Ming Ying Bai Qiuran kicked Ming Ying back into the Void amidst her panicked cries.

Back in the Earth Immortal Realm of the inner layer of the Wisdom Immortal Cave Abode, Bai Qiuran discovered that the forces of various sects had begun to thoroughly investigate... no, to examine, all parts of the Cave Abode.

Everyone was very excited, especially the group of tech geeks from the Profound Law Academy. From disciples to Elder, they all seemed to have gone crazy. They didn't seem like high-level elites from one of the Five Great Sects Righteous Path the Cultivation World at all. Instead, they seemed like a group of Lunatic who had escaped from Qingshan Psychiatric Hospital for a stroll.

Bai Qiuran squinted at the highest palace in the sky for a while, then asked those around her, "Who will go and call Elder Xu down from up there? What kind of behavior is it for a sect Elder to be lying on the roof?"

"Yes, Sword Ancestor, Qiu Yuxuan has already been notified. He will be arriving with his men shortly."

A somewhat composed disciple of the Profound Law Academy, while examining the pattern on a floor tile, spoke to Bai Qiuran.

"Qiu Yuxuan..."

Bai Qiuran.

"I have a feeling something bad is going to happen."

Not long after, Qiu Yuxuan rushed in with several Elders from the Profound Law Academy. They didn't use flying to travel; these Lunatic, upon hearing that there was a good Earth Immortal Cave Abode to study, immediately used the Spatial Jump Formation they had just deciphered, which hadn't yet been verified for safety, to jump directly from the Profound Law Academy headquarters to the Earth Immortal Ancient City.

When Bai Qiuran saw this group of people, he was startled, thinking that a Cultivation sect with Beggar as its backbone had appeared in the Cultivation World.

As he expected, Qiu Yuxuan and the others did not restrain Elder Xu at all. A moment later, the Sect Master of the Profound Law Academy led the Elder to lie in a row on the top of the palace, using various tools to make calculations and muttering incantations.

Bai Qiuran was too lazy to remind them anymore. This was the way Profound Law Academy had always been, and there was no point in reminding them again.

After instructing Qiu Yuxuan to be careful not to break anything, he went inside to check on the group of Personal Disciple he had left there earlier.

After wandering around for a while, he found that many of his disciples had found their own opportunities. Some found Divine Ability Manual in the library and were deep in thought, while others encountered magical Magic Treasure that were destined for them and triggered the process of the Magic Treasure recognizing their master.

Even his own disciple, Tang Ruowei, obtained a Protective Armor, which she is currently refining.

He didn't disturb these people, but instead found Su Xiangxue, who was checking on the condition of the Hehuan Sect disciples, and called her to a private corner.

"It's rare that you would take the initiative to ask me to come out."

Su Xiangxue followed Bai Qiuran to a pavilion with the Flying-Eave Pavilion floating in the clouds and sat down, then removed the veil from her face.

Bai Qiuran is one of the few people in the Cultivation World who can look her in the eye and speak normally. Others, even those at the same level who are at the Integration Body Integration Stage, will inevitably experience fluctuations in their state of mind under the influence of the Phantom Shadow Fragrant Trace Art.

However, this time, Bai Qiuran looked at her charming face and recalled what You Meiqiao had told him before that Su Xiangxue was a virgin.

"Huh?"

His unusual behavior was quickly noticed by Su Xiangxue, who blinked, then suddenly chuckled and leaned closer, saying, "What's wrong? Have you finally discovered my charm?"

Being so close, Su Xiangxue's face flushed slightly, but she managed to maintain her composure as the Sect Master of the Hehuan Sect Bai Qiuran.

"I never said you weren't attractive."

Bai Qiuran coughed, gently pushed Su Xiangxue's face away, and then said seriously, "Alright, I'm going to talk to you about something important."
