A million years is a huge span of time, even for the Immortal Cultivation Realm.
In other words, the Old Liu behind it all had been plotting for at least a million years.
As a result, they still haven't conquered the world.
Either this Old Liu is too useless, or the time frame is different.
"If only I could steal Old Liu's entry again," Ling Yi thought to himself.
Bai Susu was still playing the pipa.
The fingers Spiritual Animation plucked the strings of the pipa.
The tinkling sound was surprisingly rhythmic.
Another woman beside her played the guzheng in coordination.
They complement each other perfectly.
When the music ended, about fifteen minutes had passed.
Ji Luo Xue clapped her hands and exclaimed, "Truly, the sound lingers for three days! The skill is superb!"
Ling Yi simply gave a two-word evaluation. "It sounds good."
Ling Yi glanced at Bai Susu, a thought striking him, and asked, "What are your names?"
"My name is Bai Shuang'er, young master."
" Bai Susu!" Bai Susu nodded.
" Bai Shuang'er, is that right? Go and call the madam over here."
"Yes!" Bai Shuang'er didn't think much of it, bowed, and left.
A moment later, the madam, dressed in brightly colored clothes, followed Bai Shuang'er in.
He rubbed his hands together and asked, "Young master, is there anything I can do for you?"
"How much did they pay to buy their freedom?" Ling Yi asked bluntly.
"Oh my, young master, these two are the apples of my eye!"
"Stop talking nonsense, how much?"
This madam is clearly a shrewd person; it's obvious that Ling Yi isn't one to waste words.
Place both hands on the lower abdomen and gently rub them together as if praying to Buddha.
His eyes, however, darted around.
He was clearly making a quick decision in his mind.
"Young master, fifty thousand taels, how about that?"
Ling Yi took out five silver notes and flicked them lightly.
The five silver notes spun rapidly and flew to the top of the madam's head.
Just as the madam reached out to grab the silver notes...
The five silver notes scattered like flowers falling from the sky.
He deftly dodged her hand, spinning to separate her sleeve and collar.
Only then, like sparrows returning to their nests, did they fall into the hands of the madam.
The madam's breathing quickened.
I don't know where it is; it's like encountering a celestial being.
The words that were on the tip of their tongues, along with the greedy schemes they were about to utter, vanished in an instant.
"Please wait a moment, young master, I'll go get their indentures for you!"
The rest of the process went smoothly.
When Ling Yi and Ji Luo Xue walked out of Qingluan House, Bai Susu and Bai Shuang'er, who had changed into ordinary clothes, followed behind them.
After a brief inquiry, it was discovered that Bai Shuang'er was also an orphan.
They were both taken in by a madam.
However, he was only six years old when he was found.
It takes longer to cultivate than Bai Susu.
"Wife, these two are in your care from now on," Ling Yi said to Ji Luo Xue.
"Is there anything special about these two?" Ji Luo Xue asked curiously.
Ling Yi would never buy these two women for no reason.
These two women must have something in common.
" Bai Shuang'er possesses Supreme Pin Ice Spiritual Root, indicating exceptional talent."
"As for Bai Susu, although her Spiritual Root is average, her comprehension is extremely high, and she learns everything quickly."
"In that case, why not take them as my disciples?"
Ling Yi naturally had no objection to this.
It was already past midnight when they returned to the palace.
Bai Susu and Bai Shuang'er were temporarily placed in a side room.
The next day, Bai Susu and Bai Shuang'er formally became disciples.
Ji Luo Xue seemed to have become interested in becoming the Final Master.
For the next period of time, he devoted almost all his energy to teaching his two disciples.
Bai Shuang'er's Spiritual Root is of a high grade; it's a mutated Ice Spiritual Root.
Once you start practicing, your speed can be described as advancing by leaps and bounds.
In less than half a month, he had already Late Qi Refining Stage.
Bai Susu, on the other hand, has already Foundation Establishment.
Bai Susu's Spiritual Root was only of Mortal Pin, but her comprehension was far too extraordinary.
No matter what kind of technique it is, once it's in her hands, she Perfection kinetic energy with just one glance.
Not only is Perfection, but it can also be continuously improved and upgraded.
Thanks to his advantage in understanding the Dao, his cultivation speed was actually faster than Bai Shuang'er's.
So, Bai Susu hasn't cultivated at all in the millions of years she's been here?
It's not that they haven't cultivated; their highest level was even the Tribulation Transcendence Realm.
Unfortunately, he failed every time he Tribulation Transcendence.
It was shattered to pieces by the heavenly tribulation.
Ultimately, he could only be reborn through the body of a forgotten soul.
This time, Bai Susu also failed to Tribulation Transcendence and Revive after losing her soul.
I haven't practiced cultivation yet.
So, he's still just an ordinary person.
Even if one forgets their true nature, millions of years of cultivation experience and habits remain.
Once you begin cultivating, there will be no bottlenecks.
It's simply a process of accumulating Spiritual Power.
The speed of cultivation improvement is naturally very fast.
Today is the Empress Dowager's birthday.
Ji Luo Xue was summoned by Chu Feiyan to attend a banquet.
Ling Yi's side, on the other hand, was much quieter.
Ling Yi naturally had no desire to attend such a banquet.
Not only are they slow and indecisive, and they don't eat or drink well, but they also have to attend to all sorts of social engagements.
trouble!
So I stayed home, preparing to make something to satisfy my craving.
"Hmm, this thing looks like a tomato, but I didn't expect it to be a chili pepper." Ling Yi looked through the ingredients in the kitchen.
"I extracted a lot of butter a while ago, and it'll come in handy now."
"Chili peppers, butter, Sichuan peppercorns, five-spice leaves, cinnamon—hmm, that's about it."
" Shuang'er, first cook a pot of this according to what I taught you before."
"Yes, young master."
Ling Yi hasn't had hot pot in a long time.
The main problem is that many of the ingredients couldn't be found.
Hot pot is all about the broth; if the broth isn't good, the hot pot loses its soul.
Bai Shuang'er seems to have a real talent for cooking.
Following Ling Yi's instructions, they turned on the fire and put the butter into the pot.
Once the butter has melted, add all sorts of spices.
Soon, an extremely rich and spicy aroma wafted out.
Ling Yi sniffed. "Perfect, that's the smell."
In his previous life, Ling Yi had eaten authentic Sichuan hot pot.
Ling Yi ordered mildly spicy.
Then, the spiciness made me question my existence.
But I will always remember that taste.
It's spicy, but the spiciness is undeniably intense.
In his previous life, he was just an ordinary person, and he couldn't handle anything too spicy.
But in this life, he is an immortal.
It would be too embarrassing to eat only mildly spicy food.
So, Ling Yi had Bai Shuang'er prepare an extremely spicy dish.
Looking at the bubbling red oil in the pot.
Ling Yi picked up a slice of mutton roll with his chopsticks, dipped it in the pot for a few seconds, then took it out and put it in his mouth.
"Spicy, numbing, and fragrant."
Indeed, cultivating immortality is exhilarating.
This level of spiciness would be unbearable for an average person.
But for cultivators, it's just the right amount of excitement.
Ling Yi, Bai Shuang'er, and Bai Susu all ate quite a bit of hot pot at this meal.
They were also cultivators, though their cultivation levels weren't high, but they could still handle this bit of spiciness.
After eating and drinking his fill, Ling Yi on the recliner, rubbing his stomach with a satisfied smile on his face.
He glanced at Bai Susu.
Ling Yi's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately sent the [Poison] keyword.
The False Child of Karmic Luck, upon encountering the [Poison] entry, Ling Yi wanted to see what would happen next.
