After Flirting, He Ran Away And Was Chased By A Witch At The Beginning.

"Luck, luck."

Snap!

Lu Bai took a hit on his forehead.

"You dare to be careless with me. Quickly tell me, why did you advance so quickly? If you dare to use the methods of those Evil Cultivators, I will personally eliminate you in the name of justice."

Lu Bai honestly recounted his experience of leaving the sect.

Three parts true, seven parts false.

He especially downplayed the danger of being chased by Mabi De. He was afraid that his master would worry and not let him go out next time.

"So you're saying that you broke through while practicing, just as easily as eating and drinking?"

Lu Bai touched his nose.

"You can understand it that way."

Su Tingyu fell silent for a moment, then suddenly asked, "Did you get close to Lianruo during this trip?"

Oh dear, how embarrassing. How should he answer this question?

"Yes."

"Could it be that your spiritual bone is located there?" Su Tingyu looked at Lu Bai suspiciously.

The human body has 206 bones, and each one has the potential to become a spiritual bone. The spiritual bone is unique and is the greatest secret of cultivators. Even close masters may not necessarily know about it.

Generally speaking, the ideal locations for spiritual bones are the head and the chest, one close to the mind and the other close to the heart.

In addition, there are other positions that can achieve unexpected effects.

For example, fingers can be used to cultivate finger techniques, and the soles of the feet can be used to cultivate body techniques.

And the most special of all, well, the position that cannot be mentioned.

That is the most favored disciple of the dual cultivation sect.

Could it be that Lianruo had discovered this secret of Xiao Bai's and that's why she was so interested in him?

Hey hey hey!

Lu Bai couldn't stand it anymore. Even if she was his master, her gaze shouldn't be so obvious!

"The spiritual bone is my secret and cannot be spoken of."

Lu Bai lowered his head, feeling embarrassed.

In Su Tingyu's eyes, this posture was no different from admitting it.

She sighed and said, "If I had known earlier, I would have sent you to the Jade Incense Sect ten years ago."

Lu Bai was speechless.

He was only eight years old ten years ago. What could he have done if he had been sent there?

Su Tingyu looked at Lu Bai with satisfaction.

"Xiao Bai, you don't have to wait for two more years. You have already proven yourself."

"I won't force you to go to the Jade Incense Sect anymore. But you must maintain a close relationship with Lianruo, even more so. Do you understand what I mean?"

"Yes."

Lu Bai's expression became serious. "Actually, I never took the two-year agreement seriously. I'm thinking about a more distant future."

Su Tingyu smiled and said, "Of course. When the time comes, I'll support Master and Master's wife. Whoever dares to bully you, I'll beat them up."

"Good. If that day really comes, I want to go to the Central Domain and have some fun."

Although Su Tingyu knew it was unlikely, she still played along.

Dreaming without spending Spirit Stones.

"By the way, why haven't I seen Master?" Lu Bai looked around.

"He's at the back cliff." Su Tingyu's brow furrowed with a hint of worry.

"What's wrong?"

"Nothing, he's just in a bad mood."

"I'll go see him."

After saying that, Lu Bai walked towards the back cliff.

Ji Xinghe and Su Tingyu's residence was adjacent to a cliff, the highest point of the Scarlet Firmament Peak.

Lu Bai arrived at the back cliff and saw a figure sitting in a wheelchair from a distance.

In front of him was a misty mountain scenery, above was a mysterious sky, and around him were lush flowers and trees... everything was full of vitality.

Except for that figure.

It was desolate, lonely, and melancholic.

"Master." Lu Bai walked up and called out softly.

Ji Xinghe snapped out of his daze, turned his head to look at him, showing little emotional fluctuation, and simply said, "You're back."

"Yes."

Lu Bai felt a bit suppressed.

After a slight pause, he smiled and said, "Master, look, I've already reached the ninth level of Qi Refining."

Ji Xinghe raised his head again, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.

"Not bad."

Then, his expression seemed to become even more desolate.

Lu Bai was taken aback.

Did his attempt to please backfire?

His intention was to make his master happy with this good news.

But unexpectedly, it had the opposite effect.

After a moment of contemplation, Lu Bai understood the key to it.

The master would naturally be happy when his disciple achieved something. However, seeing his own achievements would inevitably remind him of his own situation, and he couldn't help but feel sad.

Lu Bai could clearly feel that compared to the last time he saw him, his physical body had deteriorated even more.

But that was not the most important thing.

The most important thing was that his spirit was also withering.

He no longer had any expectations for his own future, living day by day, waiting for death.

Once a person loses their will, they can't resist anything.

Lu Bai looked at the rolling clouds and silently accompanied Ji Xinghe in silence.

After a long time, Lu Bai suddenly said, "Master, let me tell you a story!"
