Truly a Life of the Immortals

But now that it had appeared, they naturally would not let this chance to investigate slip by. They sent word back to the sect and went to investigate whether the Medicine King Pavilion's several core elders had taken in any new disciples.

They left a thread of Divine Sense on Jiang Lu. They wanted to see just what this little cultivator intended to do.

Jiang Lu watched as Fu Yao arranged everyone, her gaze darkening slightly. Each team had quite a few cultivators, with strengths ranging from Qi Refinement to Golden Core.

Could it be related to the Magic Beasts Chi Li and the others had mentioned? Other than that, she could think of no other possibility.

She followed closely behind Liu Qingqing's group.

"Ah~"

At the sound of a delicate cry, Liu Qingqing darted behind one of the disciples.

Jiang Lu's eyes widened. It was here! It was here! The plot where the junior sister and senior sister fought for favor had begun!

She swallowed, her Divine Sense fixed tensely on the people ahead.

"Junior Sister, what's wrong?"

Xi Siyu immediately reached out to steady her and asked with concern.

The accompanying disciples helplessly covered their foreheads. As expected, here it came again...

They had wondered why Junior Sister had been so composed and silent all the way here. So she had been waiting for this.

Seeing the anxious look on his Third Junior Brother's face, Lu Lingfeng took two steps to the side and carefully let out a breath. Good thing he was clever enough to quietly keep two steps away from Junior Sister.

He glanced lightly at Eldest Senior Sister's expression. Her face was as calm as usual, with a trace of helplessness at the corner of her lips.

Yet a flicker of mockery passed through her eyes.

Such talent placed on this fool truly was like using a priceless gem to patch a wall. Thinking of her master's words, she closed her eyes, then opened them again.

She sighed helplessly.

At least she was better than those prodigies of the Xuancheng Domain. Thinking of the matters rumored there, she felt that Junior Sister's behavior was not entirely intolerable.

Sure enough, some things only needed contrast.

A foolish person should not be too powerful, or it would become a disaster.

At this moment, she felt that Junior Sister ought to absorb the Spirit Pearl's spiritual energy slowly. If she absorbed it too quickly and her strength rose too fast, it would not be a good thing for them.

"Senior Brother, I think we should go this way. I just don't know about Eldest Senior Sister..."

After saying that, she gave Fu Yao a timid glance.

The disciples: Junior Sister, this act has gone too far.

"Why?"

Fu Yao neither agreed nor refused. Her cool voice rang out as she fixed her gaze on Liu Qingqing and asked.

"I think this way is better."

Liu Qingqing answered softly. The moment her gaze met Fu Yao's, she immediately looked away.

For some reason, whenever she saw Eldest Senior Sister's eyes, she felt as though all her secrets had nowhere to hide.

Hmph, she would not admit that everyone's attention was on Eldest Senior Sister, and that she wanted to seize everyone's attention for herself.

After she said that, she only found everyone falling silent, and unease stirred faintly in her heart.

Fu Yao considered for a moment, then nodded in agreement.

"Since that is the case, we shall listen to Junior Sister."

Liu Qingqing: ???

A look of surprise appeared on her face. She agreed just like that?

After Fu Yao spoke, she headed in that direction. Everyone hurried after her, while Liu Qingqing failed to see the slight upward curve of Fu Yao's lips.

Jiang Lu had thought there would be an argument, but she had not expected Fu Yao to agree so easily.

That was not how she had imagined it.

She understood!

Eldest Senior Sisters were usually the type who suffered grievances with nowhere to voice them. The Flowing Cloud Sect Master must have doted too much on his youngest disciple, making Fu Yao afraid not to listen to her.

How pitiful.

She revealed a pitying look and shook her head.

Fu Yao: Overthinking was a disease...

Still, it had to be said that Liu Qingqing's luck was truly something else.

They had walked for so long without encountering anything unusual, yet following the direction Liu Qingqing pointed, they soon saw two demonic beasts fighting ahead.

One was a Siphon Ox, and the other was a One-Horned Steed.

Both were second-rank demonic beasts. They had likely been fighting for quite some time, and both were covered in injuries.

Behind them, a mature spirit plant swayed in the wind, several yellow fruits upon it giving off a fragrant scent.

They were third-rank Yellow Spirit Fruits. A Qi Refinement cultivator who had encountered a bottleneck in cultivation could immediately break through it after consuming one.

For any faction, this was an exceedingly rare treasure.

Yet Yellow Spirit Fruits only remained ripe for a mere month. If they were not picked during that period, the fruits would fall and lose their value.

And now, it happened to be exactly that period.

The disciples' hearts leaped with joy as they looked toward Fu Yao.

Although they had no use for them, such items counted as points, and they could exchange points for the resources they needed.

"You few, go deal with the two demonic beasts. The rest of you, come with me to pick the Yellow Spirit Fruits."

"Understood."

"Yes, Eldest Senior Sister."

With that, they split up to act. They were powerful and numerous, and before long, the two demonic beasts were knocked to the ground, unable to move.

The others picked the Yellow Spirit Fruits and handed them to Fu Yao, who placed them in her storage bag. After confirming there were no other spirit plants nearby, they left.

Once Jiang Lu saw them go far away, she quietly emerged from behind a tree.

The elder hidden in the shadows, whose Divine Sense remained on Jiang Lu, looked somewhat puzzled. What was this girl planning to do?

Jiang Lu walked to the two demonic beasts and waved a hand. The two beasts vanished from where they lay, having been stored in her storage bag.

The elder in the shadows: ...

He had wondered what she was doing. Did she find even two demonic beast corpses so precious? Had the Medicine King Pavilion become so strapped for resources for its disciples?

She then walked to the Yellow Spirit Fruit tree, preparing to store it in her space.

Suddenly, her eyelid twitched, and she immediately stopped what she was doing.

She frowned slightly and looked around, then turned a complicated gaze toward the Yellow Spirit Fruit tree. She had a premonition that she absolutely could not take the tree away, but it was such a good thing that she also dearly wanted to bring it with her.

In her hesitation, the moment she lowered her head, she saw several saplings beneath the fruit tree.

If the tree would not do, then the saplings should be fine, right?

She did not feel that trace of alarm from earlier.

Pursing her lips as she thought, she directly used the Earth-Turning Technique to dig out the saplings and place them in her space.

The elder in the shadows shook his head at the sight.

He had thought she wanted to take away the Yellow Spirit Fruit tree, but she only took the saplings. Outside designated areas, these spirit plants were difficult to keep alive. What she was doing was nothing but wishful thinking.

The quality of disciples recruited by the Medicine King Pavilion was getting worse and worse. Her horizons were too narrow; she would never accomplish anything great. He then shifted his focus elsewhere.

After confirming she had not missed even the slightest resource, Jiang Lu immediately caught up with the people from the Flowing Cloud Sect.

Sure enough, it paid to follow behind someone blessed with great fortune. If she had come alone, how could she have encountered such good things?

The moment the saplings entered the space, Lingxi gathered them into its arms. It bared a few pearly-white teeth and looked at the saplings in its hands with satisfaction.

Linglong had been right. One day, it would fill the entire space with spirit plants. Here, Linglong could chat with it, and there were spirit fields it could keep planting without end.

It truly was a life of the immortals.
