Longevity Fairy: Sister, Please Wait A Little Longer

Chapter 27: Chu Bai's Next Scheme

Current Situation:

[Chu Bai]: 16 years old, inner disciple of Azure Cloud Sect.

[Cultivation Level]: Qi Refining Stage, 5th layer.

[Spirit Vein Aptitude]: Fire Spirit Vein (slightly damaged, protected by luck, 50% repaired).

[Wealth]: 100 (2537) pieces of Low Grade Spirit Stones.

[Soulmate]: Ning Wanqiu (registered soulmate).

[Cultivation Technique]: Nourishing Heart Art.

[Techniques]: Light Body Technique (perfection), Elephant Armor Technique.

[Divine Ability]: None.

[Law Weapon]: None.

[Cave Mansion]: Innate Cave Mansion·Moon Shadow.

[Luck]: [Soulmate of the Sect Master].

...

From the amount of spirit stones in Chu Bai's possession, it can be seen that he has finally escaped the state of being poor.

Since he is no longer impoverished and has the support of the Innate Cave Mansion, reaching the 5th layer of Qi Refining is a natural progression for him.

Currently, in terms of the cost-effectiveness of cultivation, practicing for six hours a day is still the highest.

During his remaining free time, Chu Bai cultivated a technique called Elephant Armor Technique, which can enhance his physical defense.

It is not a profound technique, but Chu Bai feels that his cultivation level is still low, so his main goal should be survival.

The Elephant Armor Technique allows one to withstand a few more attacks, and the Light Body Technique, which has reached perfection, can rival flying on a sword. Within the sect, as long as he doesn't challenge others on the arena, his safety is guaranteed.

Yes, safety is the top priority, and it has nothing to do with that "attaining the strength of an elephant upon reaching perfection."

In addition, when Chu Bai woke up this morning, he once again heard the system's prompt sound:

"Ding~"

Prompt: Due to the improvement in Azure Cloud Sect's luck, the effect of your [Soulmate of the Sect Master] has slightly increased.

...

Chu Bai rubbed his hands and stood happily inside the thatched cottage in the medicinal garden. "So even without the joy of the Holy Heart, it is beneficial for Azure Cloud Sect to become more prosperous."

On the small round table in the thatched cottage, Aunt Nangong Li was looking through some account books from the outer sect last month.

The first half of the month was unremarkable, even slightly worse than the previous spring.

But in the second half of the month, the numbers in the accounts kept increasing day by day, reaching a peak that was even 50% higher than before.

All of this was thanks to rumors.

Such as how a hundred thousand disciples at the 3rd layer of Qi Refining were comparable to ten thousand cultivators at the Late Stage of Qi Refining.

There were already thousands of disciples embarking on the path of cultivation.

The qualification to cultivate techniques depends on the achievements within the sect, and everything else is useless.

All of this was the idea proposed by Elder Zhao Wei, the only elder of the Little Green Peak who wanted to make amends for his crimes.

Wait a minute.

"You're really willing to give credit to others." Nangong Li took a sip of tea and said lightly.

Chu Bai replied, "A skilled warrior doesn't seek fame. As a junior disciple, why would I need such great credit? I only do things to make Aunt Nangong happy, so please keep it a secret for me."

Nangong Li smiled, her eyes filled with joy. "I'm happy? Then return the five thousand spirit stones you took from me last time."

Chu Bai pretended to be foolish: "What spiritual stones? I have already distributed them all to my disciples."

Upon hearing this, Nangong Li glanced at the wooden bed against the wall, under which several storage bags were hidden.

"No, no, Auntie, calm down."

Chu Bai quickly intercepted her gaze, "I am already at the fifth level of Qi Refining. I am giving you face by giving you more. How about I cook a few dishes for you to taste, and then go buy some wine to celebrate?"

As a Nascent Soul cultivator, Nangong Li had long passed the stage of fasting. Over the past three thousand years, she had tasted countless delicacies. How could she be tempted by some ordinary home-cooked dishes?

The two of them were now face to face, very close, already breaking the boundaries between ordinary elders and juniors.

Nangong Li realized this and waved her sleeves, saying, "Sit down and talk."

Chu Bai smelled a faint fragrance, which was quite pleasant.

However, the person in front of him was an old lady who was over a thousand years old. Chu Bai had some guesses about her true identity, so he dared not be disrespectful.

Chu Bai obediently sat down and continued the conversation, "Elder Zhao is famous. As long as Elder Zhao is fine, I have no problem here. I am only at the fifth level of Qi Refining, and I am satisfied with having food, shelter, and spiritual stones for cultivation."

If it weren't for this Aunt Nangong, Chu Bai would still be calculating the income and expenses of a few spiritual stones, desperately trying to break through to the seventh level of Qi Refining before the end of the year to avoid being sent to the outer sect.

Now, whenever he cultivates, the power of his Innate Cave Mansion is 2.0. His goal is still the seventh level of Qi Refining, which is already visible to the naked eye.

After all, he had experienced two breakthroughs, and his Spirit Vein state was getting better day by day.

Not only that, Chu Bai also had time to cultivate the "Elephant Armor Technique" every day, to take care of the spiritual herbs in the medicine field and take walks, and to discipline the lazy Seventeen, a miscellaneous disciple who was drifting around. His life was much more fulfilling than before.

"You are not greedy," Nangong Li said.

Chu Bai smirked, "If we talk about greed, Auntie, can we discuss unlocking the restrictions on me in advance?"

Because of the misunderstanding caused by the saying "the young don't know how good their aunt is," Chu Bai remained very calm. Occasionally, he would have thoughts, but whether it was day or night, his body would not show any ripples.

Just last time, he even bullied Senior Sister Xiao.

Senior Sister had a thin face, and Chu Bai couldn't really rely on the "Mutually Dependent" technique.

But not being able to do it was another matter.

Nangong Li said, "No, what are you young people thinking? Don't think I don't know."

Chu Bai cried out for injustice.

Aunt Nangong asked, "After arranging Little Qing Peak, which peak do you plan to go to next?"

"Hundred Flowers Peak."

Nangong Li was almost amused by him, "More than seventy percent of the female disciples in the outer sect come from Hundred Flowers Peak, and you say you haven't thought about those messy things!"

Chu Bai said, "Auntie, you misunderstood. The aptitude of the miscellaneous disciples is Innate defective. Even if you can improve the 'Heavenly Wolf Art' version by version, it will still take decades to make the miscellaneous disciples have a normal Foundation Building."

Miscellaneous disciples' Foundation Building?

Not to mention miscellaneous disciples, even outer sect disciples find Foundation Building quite difficult.

Otherwise, why would the threshold for the inner sect be the seventh level of Qi Refining?

"You must be over a hundred years old to achieve Foundation Building. The final result is to get married and have children, to continue the lineage."

Chu Bai's mischievous smile returned, "Starting with Seventeen, I have inspired the fighting spirit of the miscellaneous disciples. It can't be dragged on for too long. I will teach all the kids of Seventeen, but it's not something that can be done overnight. So I thought, the law cannot be easily passed on, and the 'Heavenly Wolf Art' is also a secret that my Azure Cloud Sect does not pass on. It can be passed on to partners, and it can also be passed on to legitimate sons and daughters."

"..."

Nangong Li had to admit that Chu Changge was young and had many small flaws, but he also had many ingenious ideas. For example, the method of influencing a hundred thousand people with a hundred people, which actually didn't cost the sect a single spiritual stone.

"It can be passed on to partners, or it can be passed on to a child."

A look of realization appeared in Nangong Li's eyes, "No wonder you spread rumors that if you want to marry, you should marry someone from Little Qing Peak. The root cause is here, cunning and despicable."

Chu Bai interrupted, "Hey, Auntie, I don't like it when you say that. With a hundred thousand miscellaneous disciples and less than twenty thousand female disciples, I can't guide them to mine.

With this law, their interests are protected, and at least one child in the future will be able to embark on the path of cultivation.

For the sake of wives, the male disciples will shout even louder, contributing to the sect. The female disciples will have new and correct goals, increasing the cohesion within the sect and also contributing to the sect. And it will attract more female seekers to join the sect. This, this, how much does it achieve in one fell swoop!"
