Longevity Fairy: Sister, Please Wait A Little Longer

Chapter 3: 003 - Chu Bai, the Son of Heaven's Will?

In the vast Azure Cloud Mountain Range, the most important event in recent days is the disciples' grand competition.

Chu Bai, a mere third-level Qi Refining cultivator, is not qualified to participate, so he didn't bother to join in the excitement.

His system has been activated, and he received a "Newcomer's Gift Pack" that includes a named Dao companion.

After making the selection, the system displays that the Dao companion is currently being bound.

Instead of waiting idly, Chu Bai picks up a hoe and goes to the medicinal field he is responsible for, starting his daily weeding and pest-catching work.

The system panel does not disappear with the passage of time, proving that it is not an illusion.

Chu Bai can check the information on it at any time.

One small detail he discovered later is that the tags behind Xiao Shijie and Sect Master Ning's names can be clicked on.

Tags like "Childhood Sweetheart," "Virtuous Wife and Loving Mother," "Thrifty and Frugal," and "Clear Ice, Pure Jade" are self-explanatory.

The tag in the middle, "Mutually Dependent," clearly states: After the death of your parents, you and Xiao Qingrou are mutually dependent to the extent that Xiao Qingrou's favorability towards you is extremely difficult to drop below three stars.

"Reincarnated Spiritual Pearl": In the previous life, it was an ancient spiritual pearl with a cultivation speed far surpassing ordinary people. It can also increase the density of spiritual energy in the surroundings, assisting others in improving their cultivation progress.

"Daughter of Fortune": Great luck protection, turning bad luck into good luck, encountering one stroke of good fortune after another.

"Disciple of the Saint": Saint's remnant soul bracelet, inheriting the Saint's Dao (the remnant soul has not awakened).

Chu Bai's luck tag is zero, indicating that he has nothing.

Before clicking on Xiao Shijie's tag, he only knew that his senior sister was impressive. After reading it, Chu Bai feels that there is no need to choose the next sect master of Azure Cloud Sect anymore. Who else could it be other than his senior sister?!

However, he should pay a little attention to the "Disciple of the Saint" tag.

Although it hasn't awakened yet, it is unknown what cultivation level the Saint corresponds to. If the Saint's ultimate goal is to possess Xiao Shijie, it would be bad.

But currently, Chu Bai is more concerned about the "Mutually Dependent" tag.

His current relationship with Xiao Shijie is indeed like that.

"With Mutually Dependent, will Xiao Shijie's favorability towards me never drop below three stars?"

Chu Bai ponders while weeding.

He wouldn't do anything bad to his senior sister, and he considers "extremely difficult" as "never."

If it really comes to a point of no return, "Mutually Dependent" can be considered his ultimate means. Once the rice is cooked, Xiao Shijie will eventually marry him.

At this moment, an aura that ordinary people cannot perceive descends upon the medicinal garden in the back mountain.

The owner of the aura stands outside the field, gazing at Chu Bai for a long time.

"He is the Son of Heaven's Will that Miss mentioned? Besides being good-looking, he is utterly useless."

Azure Cloud Sect's Sect Master, Ning Wanqiu, was born into a wealthy family. At that time, she had a personal maid named Nangong Li, who accompanied her on her journey to join the sect.

Three thousand years later, Nangong Li's cultivation has reached the mid-stage of Nascent Soul and she holds the position of Elder in the Outer Sect.

On this early morning, Nangong Li is watching the children's sparring in the Outer Sect and feeling good after seeing a bald kid being beaten up.

She dislikes bald donkeys, extremely so. Suddenly, she hears Miss's call.

Then she sees a completely different Wanqiu Miss from usual.

The higher-ups of Azure Cloud Sect are all aware of the battle with Ten Thousand Sword Mountain.

The day of the duel is approaching, and Miss has not yet broken through to the Soul Refining stage, so Nangong Li understands the pressure she is under.

Miss is seeking some amusement to relieve the pressure, and Nangong Li can still understand that.

But what's with Miss's flustered appearance? Why does she look for a third-level Qi Refining kid named Chu Changge instead of someone else?

Furthermore, she said she can understand, but Miss actually lied to her, saying that the kid's name is Chu Changge, the Son of Heaven's Will!

Nangong Li has never seen a sixteen-year-old, third-level Qi Refining Son of Heaven's Will.

Not only that, with Nangong Li's discerning eyes, she can tell that Chu Changge's Spirit Vein is damaged.

Coupled with these years of forced cultivation, Chu Changge's Spirit Vein is already on the verge of collapse.

Once it collapses, he will become a useless person.

Miss unexpectedly likes this, which Nan Gongli cannot understand!

"Alu, go to the back mountain and take a look at that child. Just take a look, don't disturb him for now."

Very well.

Nan Gongli obeyed the order and used the Law Treasure to create an External Incarnation, quietly descending to the back mountain medicinal garden.

She had seen it, her task was completed, and she would report everything about Chu Changge to Miss Qiu in detail.

"No, I can see that his Spirit Vein is damaged, and Miss will definitely be able to see it too."

"The Son of Heaven... I want to see what connection this kid has with the Heavenly Dao."

Ning Wanqiu's abnormal state made Nan Gongli a little angry. She and Miss were mutually dependent, so she felt a little jealous.

Jealousy changes a person's appearance.

In addition, the overall quality of the outer disciples has been declining in the past two years, and some unpleasant memories caused by the bald disciples made her forget the difficulty of deceiving a Soul Formation peak expert as a Qi Refining cultivator, which was no less than Chu Bai killing her, Nan Gongli, with one sword.

At this moment, in the medicinal field,

Chu Bai had finished his work and was collecting weeds and small insects, throwing them into the nearby pool of water.

This pool of water was specifically used for irrigating the medicinal field. The water in the pool could theoretically "digest" everything and convert it into nutrients to help the Spirit Medicines grow.

Wiping the sweat from his forehead, Chu Bai looked towards the mountaintop and smiled.

With the arrival of the Innate Cave Mansion, he embarked on a completely new path of cultivation. He had to thank Sect Master Ning.

An Innate Cave Mansion might not mean much to a Soul Formation peak expert, but to Chu Bai, it meant more than a hundred years of lifespan.

However, this gaze was seen as blasphemy in the eyes of Nan Gongli, who wore colored glasses.

It was well known that the peak of Azure Cloud Mountain was where the Sect Master resided.

However, Elder Nan Gong still restrained herself from appearing, but she didn't leave.

An invisible figure drifted into the thatched cottage with the wind from the medicinal garden.

Prior to this, Nan Gongli had already scanned the entire house with her divine sense.

She wasn't interested in the arrangement of the tables and chairs, nor the wooden bed against the wall.

The focus was under the wooden bed, where there was a hidden compartment.

Nan Gongli waved her hand and moved the wooden bed, and the hidden compartment's green bricks automatically floated up.

Now, looking at it again, there were neatly arranged hundreds of green spirit stones in the compartment.

"236 pieces."

Nan Gongli said, "Although Chu Changge is an inner disciple, due to his low cultivation level, he receives the monthly salary of an outer disciple, which is 10 Low Grade spirit stones per month.

He is not qualified to take on inner disciple tasks, and there is no record of him taking on any tasks as an outer disciple. So where did these spirit stones come from?"

Since she was "certain" that Chu Changge was not a good person, Nan Gongli had already conducted an investigation before she set off.

"The Chu family may still have some wealth, but Chu Changge has a senior sister at the Foundation Building Stage, and she joined the Medicine Peak. Generally, families cultivate alchemists with the effort of the entire clan. Chu Changge himself has difficulties in cultivation, so it is likely that all those resources were used on his senior sister."

With 10 Low Grade spirit stones per month, it barely covers the living expenses of a low-level cultivator. So where did these spirit stones in the hidden compartment come from?

Where did they come from?!

A cold light flashed in Nan Gongli's phoenix eyes.

No matter how cautious one is, it is difficult to guard against a thief in the family. Over the years, countless disciples who guarded the medicinal garden and medicinal field within Azure Cloud Sect have been punished for stealing and suffered.

Chu Changge would be the next one.

Suddenly--

"Huh?"

Inside the hidden compartment, there was something beneath the spirit stones.

It was a handwritten booklet.

Nan Gongli opened the first page, which read: "Thirty years in the east of the river, thirty years in the west of the river, do not bully the young and poor!"
