Longevity Fairy: Sister, Please Wait A Little Longer

Chapter 8: 008 - The Young Boy Mistakes the Aunt for a Treasure

"Ah?"

Upon hearing this, Chu Bai was momentarily stunned. However, he saw a hint of a smile in the unclear eyes behind the veil, and he calmed down, saying, "Aunt, please don't tease me. Since my parents passed away, I have been a lonely child with no one to rely on. I really hope to contribute to the sect like my parents did, but my Spirit Vein..."

He began to act pitiful again.

With a damaged Spirit Vein, cultivation becomes difficult. Not only is it painful to cultivate, but even using spiritual power in battles is also quite painful.

Nan Gong Li said, "I already know about your situation. You're not bad, but I practice a different path and I'm not sure how to solve the problem of a damaged Spirit Vein."

The gaze of a Nascent Soul cultivator is extremely sharp. Chu Bai, at the fourth level of Qi Refining, had slightly alleviated the damage to his Spirit Vein, but he had also accumulated some hidden injuries in his body.

Nan Gong Li raised a finger, and a fiery red spiritual power surrounded her fingertip before flying into Chu Bai's dantian, his Qi Sea.

Damn it!

The Qi Sea is the foundation of a cultivator. If the Qi Sea is damaged, the person is truly finished.

However, before he could react, the basic cultivation technique of Azure Cloud Sect, the "Bone Forging Technique," began to operate on its own.

Starting from the Qi Sea, warm spiritual power flowed through every inch of his meridians without causing any pain.

Without thinking too much, Chu Bai immediately changed to a meditative posture and carefully experienced it.

Chu Bai had already tested his Innate Cave Mansion.

Due to it being a system reward, there were no control devices like array discs inside or outside the Cave Mansion. It was all controlled by his thoughts.

In other words, when Chu Bai cultivates, if he doesn't want to activate the Spirit Gathering Array and consume spiritual stones for auxiliary cultivation, he can simply "not want" it.

However, if he actively speeds up his cultivation or attempts to break through to the Qi Condensation stage, the Spirit Gathering Array will automatically sense the lack of spiritual energy within the Cave Mansion and activate.

At this moment, Chu Bai was being guided by the Bone Forging Technique, quickly entering a state of meditation.

His Spirit Vein was damaged, and any cultivation of the meridians would inevitably cause pain to remind Chu Bai of this fact.

However, with that strand of fiery red spiritual power leading the way, Chu Bai only felt a warm sensation all over his body. Even the hidden injuries that had been forcibly cultivated in his muscles and bones for years were gradually expelled under the warmth.

"No wonder I have the protection of luck and the powerful assistance of the Spirit Gathering Array. Breaking through to the third level of Qi Refining would leave me paralyzed for several days."

Chu Bai thought to himself, "These injuries have accumulated over the years. I couldn't feel any discomfort in my meridians on ordinary days, but if they were to erupt at a critical moment, they might even cost me my life."

"It seems that Xiao Shijie also mentioned that my body is not suitable for excessive cultivation. She gave me a medicinal soup for nourishment, but that thing was too bitter and didn't seem to have any effect. In the end, I gave up."

Chu Bai's big dream was only three months ago, not three years ago, and even now, his memories from his previous life have not completely merged.

If only he had held his nose and drunk it for three years.

On the other hand,

As Nan Gong Li said, she doesn't practice medicine and cannot solve the problem with the Spirit Vein. However, most of Chu Bai's hidden injuries are Yin in nature, and they can be completely eliminated by using Yang fire spiritual power.

She waited for a while, watching the face covered in sweat, and thought that Miss Qiu's wedding had also shattered her thoughts of men. Since then, whether it was an arranged marriage by her elders or the pursuit of talented men, Nan Gong Li had rejected them all.

If there were no such circumstances, if she had truly become a Dao companion with someone and given birth to children, perhaps there would be outstanding and determined young men like Chu Bai among her family's descendants.

Of course, she was just sighing. The elders around Elder Nan Gong were either old men or old ladies, and none of them were not afraid of Elder Nan Gong's power or wary of the Lord behind her. Even if she had such thoughts, it was already too late.

"Yes, protecting Miss and striving to cultivate and ascend the Great Dao is my goal. Love and romance are all trivial matters."

Nan Gong Li stood up, and seeing that Chu Bai's condition had stabilized, she reached out her hand and the handwritten booklet from the hidden compartment, which had not yet been covered, floated into her palm.

On the first page:

"In thirty years, fortunes change. Don't bully the poor youth!"

After reading this sentence again, Elder Nan Gong had a new idea.

"It seems that the heavens probably don't want to raise an arrogant person, so they gave him trials."

From the age of 6 to 16, enduring humiliation for 10 years, Nangong Li felt that it was enough. This child was suppressed to the point of saying such words. If she didn't protect her, she would soon fall into the Demon Dao.

After all, the Demon Dao represents a shortcut to cultivation.

Page two, page three, page four, Nangong Li knew that it was because Miss of their family read this passage that she found an opportunity for a breakthrough.

Next page, no feeling.

Next page again, it talks about swords, which is not suitable for Nangong Li, and she doesn't have any insights.

Her slender fingertips lightly touched the corner of the page, and it automatically flipped to the seventh page.

[Women are the best, ranked among the immortals.]

Nangong Li blinked, not understanding.

Eight words, she understood each one and understood their meanings, but when put together, she didn't understand.

Not understanding, she continued to flip through. After all, she was just casually looking.

However, immediately after, Nangong Li's raised eyebrows furrowed, and the more she furrowed, the deeper the furrow became, and her brow even twisted into a knot.

[The young don't know how good the aunt is, mistaking a young girl for a treasure.]

The whole passage was in plain language. If Nangong Li still didn't understand, then she had wasted these years!

How good the aunt is. Combining it with the previous phrase "women are the best" and the scene of Chu Bai gazing at the peak of Azure Cloud Mountain a few days ago.

"Oh, I thought you were too bitter before, and I felt sorry for you. It turns out you have already fallen into the Demon Dao!"

We cultivators may borrow some assistance, which is understandable, but who would want to rely on others completely?

Nangong Li threw the booklet aside and coldly turned her head.

Coincidentally, Chu Bai had just used the bit of magic power given by Aunt Nangong to initially dispel his hidden injuries and opened his eyes.

Once again, their eyes met, one cold and one confused.

Chu Bai asked, "Aunt, thank you. Uh, what's wrong?"

Before he could see clearly, everything went black in front of him, and when he woke up, he was in another world.

Chu Bai suddenly sat up and felt his body to see if anything was missing.

The so-called aunt was actually there to cut his throat, which Chu Bai had dreamed of.

At that time, Chu Bai sweet-talked to protect himself, but he remained cautious. With the help of "Aunt," he gradually relaxed.

He thought that with her high cultivation level, there was no need to use underhanded methods against a Qi Refining fourth-layer disciple.

After groping around,

"Phew, everything is still here."

Chu Bai breathed a sigh of relief.

He looked inward at his Qi Sea, and the cyclone in his Qi Sea had grown one circle larger than before he lost consciousness. This indicated that Aunt Nangong's help was indeed real.

The biggest obstacle to Chu Bai's cultivation was the damage to his Spirit Vein, which resulted in a low efficiency in absorbing spiritual energy. Now that his Spirit Vein was slightly improved and the hidden injuries in his body were gone, in the same environment, if an ordinary Qi Refining fourth-layer disciple had an absorption efficiency of ten, Chu Bai used to have only one or two, but now he could definitely have four, more than doubled.

"When my Spirit Vein is completely restored, I'll save up some spiritual stones and fully cultivate in the Innate Cave Mansion. It won't be a problem to make up for the ten years I fell behind in two or three years."

Chu Bai, the senior brother, was full of confidence.

Then he glanced at the small round table in the room, which was empty.

"What the hell happened to my spiritual stones?!"

The spiritual stones that were placed on the table last night were Chu Bai's entire fortune.

Not being killed was a relief for Chu Bai, but having all his spiritual stones taken away was unacceptable!
