Last Letter, Seven Roommates

"This disciple is unfilial, arrogant by nature, and has failed to live up to the kindness of his teacher."

Now, having severed my path to immortality, I am unable to climb mountains to seek the Dao, nor do I possess the perseverance to survive. I have no desire to become a vessel for cultivation, spending my life confined to my bedchamber. My only remaining body is a remnant of a hundred days of cultivation, containing Treasure Blood that has not yet dissipated.

Minjin has severed his own life to repay this debt, hoping that his master will not abandon him and will use him to make tools for raising Gu poison and to retrieve all the medicines.

Since my body is dead and my soul is gone, I care nothing for the rest. Only my elder sister remains. She is not Immortal cultivator, so I hope that Master can take her in as a servant and offer her some protection.

Yours sincerely, Disciple Min."

Inside the Solitary Gu Hall.

The Lone Pavilion Master looked at the messy yellow paper in his hand, his expression becoming even more wistful.

She had been training disciples for decades, and it was truly rare to see someone like Qin Min, who so quickly developed an arrogant personality and then died so quickly. It left one speechless.

However, upon reading the last words on the paper, all her thoughts about Qin Min ultimately turned into a feeling of pity.

Pfft!

A tiny flame flickered from the Lone Pavilion Master's fingertip, instantly burning Qin Min's suicide note.

She muttered to herself, "Since you call me master, how could I possibly covet your physical body?"

Immediately, the old woman got up and went to Qin Min 'Qin Min residence to collect her body and burn it to prevent it from being coveted by others after burial.

Then.

Qin Min's older sister, instead of becoming a servant, was exceptionally taken in as a maid by the Lone Pavilion Master, who took her in and treated her with some care. Her status was temporarily between that of an outer court disciple and an inner court disciple.

The Five Viscera Transport Vessel.

Fang Shu looked back at the location of Guling Town and found that it had turned into a cloud of river mist, and could no longer be seen at all.

So he completely withdrew his gaze and never looked back again.

In the following days...

He, Du Yu'er, Xiao Lili were not assigned cabins. Instead, they were squeezed onto the deck with other immortals from the town. There wasn't even a stool for them to sit on, so they could only sit cross-legged.

At first, Fang Shu was able to pass the time by chatting with the two women.

However, the two women soon disembarked at a fairy town under the jurisdiction of the Flesh Abbey.

The three parted ways and went their separate ways.

After the two women left, the Five Viscera Transport Vessel traveled for another day and arrived at a vast expanse of water, as wide as the sea. Fang Shu and the other immortals stood on the boat and looked around, only to find that all around them was water, and they could no longer see any mountains or land.

Such a sight astonished all the immortals:

"There really is such a lake in Mount Lu?"

"Mount Lu Mount Lu, shouldn't it be full of mountains everywhere?!"

Amidst everyone's surprise and doubt, a Refining Qi Immortal cultivator finally emerged, but he did not interact with Fang Shu, nor did he offer any explanation.

The Refining Qi Immortal cultivator simply tossed a pile of tokens from his sleeve in a businesslike manner, then waved his hand, instructing the black-robed servants on the ship to distribute the tokens to everyone one by one.

Fang Shu joined the queue and received one.

Because the immortal seeds from various towns are often clustered together, and the order in which people receive them is similar, many people are assigned the same token.

Soon, the token's function became apparent: it allocated cabins on the transport boat to everyone.

Following the directions of the black-robed servants, Fang Shu walked to the bottom of the transport boat. He lowered his head and crawled into his assigned cabin, his brows immediately furrowing slightly.

The cabin was neither too big nor too small, similar to the snake-like boat he had taken when he traveled to Guling Town. It could accommodate one person, and there was still enough space for him to stretch his muscles and bones.

However, when Fang Shu entered, there were already several people in the cabin, and more people kept coming in after him.

When the cabin finally quieted down and no one else entered, in the darkness, there were seven blurry figures inside, including Fang Shu himself. Judging from their auras, there were both men and women.

The group gathered together, each looking around, all appearing somewhat silent.

Finally, it was a male voice that Fang Shu vaguely recognized. He spat and cursed inwardly.

"They've all become immortal beings, yet their method of going to the Immortal Sect is still so poor and shabby, like they're just going through the motions at a market."

These words drew agreement from many people, and the cabin was filled with sneers and sighs.

Suddenly, a clear voice responded with a laugh:

"Fellow Daoist, you jest. We are fortunate to have these cabins because we came up the mountain for the Spring Examination. If we had come for the Autumn Examinations, we would have been no different from pigs, without even a place to lie down and sleep."

Fang Shu and the others looked in the direction of the sound and found a woman wearing a crown. Her face was blurry and her voice was unfamiliar, so she did not seem to have boarded the ship in Guling Town.

Facing the gazes of the crowd, the other party remained composed and even took out a bright pearl from his sleeve, then flicked out a silk thread to hang it from the ceiling of the cabin.

In an instant, a burst of light shone into the cabin, dispelling the darkness and revealing the faces of everyone one by one.

The woman wearing the crown bowed to the crowd and introduced herself:

"My name is Er Daiyuan. I have met you all. It is a great coincidence that we are now on the same boat and will be sharing a room for the next hundred days. I hope you will take good care of me in the Five Organs Immortal Sect."

"Greetings, fellow Daoist." Someone spoke up and nodded in response.

The Fang Shu were mixed in among them, maintaining a quiet atmosphere.

His gaze moved swiftly and subtly, scanning the other six people in the cabin one by one.

Several familiar faces appeared here, or to be precise, he recognized more than half of the seven people in the cabin who were immortal beings!

The person who started complaining was named Wu Dan.

This person was the lucky one who was last to be selected in the Spring Examination; he was the one who managed to squeeze out the others by picking up someone else's Unchanging Bone.

Inside the cabin was a mysterious immortal being dressed in a black robe, similar in appearance to the ship's servants, and something would occasionally wriggle beneath the robe.

This man was none other than the Rat Lord of the Black Tiger Hall. According to the list released Spring Examination, his name was "Black Mouse."

In addition, there was a woman in the cabin who looked familiar to Fang Shu.

When he looked at the other person, the person seemed to notice Fang Shu's gaze and turned around to look at him with a smile, and winked.

Fang Shu remained unmoved by the woman's overtures.

This woman comes from the Jade Bamboo Hall, and is none other than Hua Xiaqing, the woman who once colluded with Qin Min, frequently went out of the pavilion to compete, and who was even suspected of ganging up on and killing Qin Min in the end.

Besides the people mentioned above, there was also a female disciple named "Mai Shenger" in the cabin. She was also on the list of candidates for the Spring Examination in Guling Town, but Fang Shu had no connection with her.

After scanning the room, Fang Shu's gaze finally settled on a man who was resting with his eyes closed.

The man's attire was the most eye-catching in the cabin. He was dressed in chains, with chains on his hands and feet, making him look like a prisoner being escorted. Moreover, he had white hair on his face, making it difficult to tell whether he was human or a demon.

Apart from Fang Shu, everyone else was also observing this person to varying degrees.

Fang Shu Shuxin was puzzled.

This person, like the woman who called herself "Er Daiyuan," was a complete stranger to him.

But for some reason, he felt a sense of familiarity with this person.

Clang!

Under everyone's gaze, the white-haired man suddenly opened his greenish eyes and coldly stared at Fang Shu.

Fang Shu remained unmoved by the man's gaze, neither looking away nor shifting his eyes, but instead staring back at him.

The immortal beings in this cabin all seem quite extraordinary; it's rather interesting.
