Great Chu Kingdom, Mysterious Passage Sect.

"Do you remember? A few days ago, that outer disciple Wang Dabiao established a branch in Qingyang Town. He has even taken a third concubine now!"

"Oh my, this guy is really lucky! I've been cultivating for seventy years and still haven't reached Primordial Yang..."

"What's there to envy? Wang Dabiao is a self-indulgent person. He will only be at Qi Refining Rank One in this lifetime and will turn to dust after a hundred years. As for you, if your Primordial Yang remains unexhausted, you might have a chance to break through Foundation Building!"

"That's true."

The two outer disciples walked and talked until their figures disappeared into the Monster Slaying Palace. Chen Daoxuan, dressed in Daoist robes, sighed as he walked.

"A hundred years of cultivation, and it's been a lonely journey."

"If only I had enjoyed the worldly pleasures..."

Chen Daoxuan sighed again.

He had a handsome face, but the white hair at his temples faintly revealed his age.

Eighty years ago, he transmigrated to this realm and successfully went through the initiation ceremony, becoming an outer disciple of the Mysterious Passage Sect.

He thought it was a heaven-sent opportunity.

But after eighty years of cultivation, he was now over a hundred years old and still stuck at Body Refining Rank Nine.

He hadn't even reached the level of Qi Refining.

It could be said that he hadn't even crossed the threshold of cultivation.

Chen Daoxuan shook his head, no longer dwelling on it, and entered the Monster Slaying Palace in front of him.

This was where the disciples of the Mysterious Passage Sect killed monsters, took on training missions, and received rewards.

At this moment, the grand palace seemed somewhat empty, with not many people around.

Passing by a stack of mission tokens, he walked all the way to the back and saw an old man with white hair, who was closing his eyes and nurturing his spirit.

Chen Daoxuan respectfully bowed and then handed over the token in his hand, saying, "Junior Chen Daoxuan, I would like to leave the sect this time and establish a branch. I seek the elder's permission."

In the Mysterious Passage Sect, some disciples who had no hope of cultivation would voluntarily leave the sect and establish their own families in major cities and towns.

At the same time, they could also gather resources for the Mysterious Passage Sect and expand its influence.

Upon hearing Chen Daoxuan's words, the old man raised his eyes slightly and waved his hand casually.

The spiritual energy around him fluctuated, and the token in Chen Daoxuan's hand flew out and landed in the old man's hand.

After a moment.

The old man looked up in surprise. "Chen Daoxuan, you have been cultivating in our sect for eighty years... and you're still at Body Refining?"

Chen Daoxuan smiled bitterly.

The old man frowned. "Eighty years of arduous cultivation, enduring loneliness, shows your dedication."

"Alright, for now, you will go to Qingyang County under the jurisdiction of Beijing County and manage our sect's Xuantie Mine. In the future, you should focus on procreating and expanding your family. If you happen to have a descendant with spiritual roots, the sect will reward you."

"Go to the front hall and collect fifty spiritual stones before you leave."

"Thank you for your guidance, Elder."

Seeing the old man wave his hand, a white light appeared on the token and then settled on the table.

Chen Daoxuan took the token, bowed again, and then turned to leave.

As he walked past the main hall and just stepped out of the door, a graceful figure passed by him.

Immediately after, a female voice came.

"Senior Brother Chen, what are you doing here?"

The voice sounded slightly surprised.

Chen Daoxuan turned his head and saw a woman dressed in white, with skin as fair as snow, exquisite features, and clear, sparkling eyes.

She was Bai Ling'er, an outer disciple of the Mysterious Passage Sect.

Looking at her figure, Chen Daoxuan seemed to remember something.

Twenty years ago, he had accidentally saved a little girl who had been the sole survivor of a massacre.

Now, that little girl had grown up.

"What are you planning to do, Senior Brother?"

Bai Ling'er asked.

Chen Daoxuan hesitated for a moment before saying, "After leaving the sect and establishing a separate branch, I may not come back."

"When?"

"Maybe three days later."

Bai Ling'er was taken aback and asked, "So soon? Brother Chen, are you giving up cultivation?"

Chen Daoxuan smiled and said, "No, I am not. I am just not talented enough. I have been busy for a hundred years, and for the remaining years of my life, I want to live as I please."

"That means you will never cultivate again."

Bai Ling'er pondered for a moment and asked, "Have you found a Dao companion to cultivate with?"

Chen Daoxuan shook his head and said, "Not yet. With my low cultivation level, I can't find a suitable Dao companion. I plan to find a few mortal women."

Bai Ling'er nodded and said, "Alright, in that case, I will see you off when you leave the sect."

Chen Daoxuan felt touched and said, "Thank you, Junior Sister."

For the past eighty years, he had always been alone and had never made friends or sought the Dao.

He thought that his departure this time would go unnoticed.

But unexpectedly, someone was seeing him off.

Chen Daoxuan smiled, greeted Bai Ling'er, and then returned to his residence.

The first day.

Bai Ling'er went to Chen Daoxuan's residence and accompanied him to various places in the Mysterious Passage Sect, discussing the recent changes in the sect.

The second day.

Bai Ling'er came alone late at night, bringing spiritual vegetables, meat, and several bottles of spiritual wine.

Chen Daoxuan, who had always avoided meat and alcohol for cultivation purposes, surprisingly indulged in drinking with Bai Ling'er that night.

The third day.

Bai Ling'er accompanied Chen Daoxuan to the outskirts of the sect and took out fifty Low Grade Spirit Stones from her pocket, insisting that he accept them.

But Chen Daoxuan shook his head and pushed her hand away, saying, "Junior Sister Bai, why bother? I don't have many years left, and these Spirit Stones won't be of much use to me."

Bai Ling'er insisted, "Brother, when you travel far, there will always be places where you can use them."

Chen Daoxuan said, "You are only twenty years old and already at the peak of Body Refining. You are about to break through to Qi Refining. You still need cultivation resources, and I can't delay you."

Hearing this, Bai Ling'er took a few steps back and looked up at Chen Daoxuan, as if seeing him for the first time.

Chen Daoxuan smiled and said, "Twenty years have passed, and I have grown old, while Junior Sister is still in her prime."

Bai Ling'er looked a bit disappointed and said, "Brother, you haven't aged. You are still as handsome and elegant as before. It's just that time has passed too quickly."

The sky was getting dark.

Chen Daoxuan clasped his hands and said, "Junior Sister Bai, it's getting late. I should leave. We don't know when we will meet again. Take care."

"Okay."

Bai Ling'er replied softly, seeming a bit lost.

Chen Daoxuan shook his head.

There is no feast that doesn't end.

He turned around to leave.

But unexpectedly, a fragrant breeze suddenly blew towards him.

A pair of white arms wrapped around his waist, and Bai Ling's warm body pressed against Chen Daoxuan, making his heart tremble.

"Brother, don't you understand my feelings? Why do you force me to say it?"

Chen Daoxuan sighed and said, "We are not meant to be together. Your future is bright, and it won't be difficult for you to achieve Foundation Building in the future. There's no need for you to be entangled with me..."

"Stop talking, please stop!"

Bai Ling'er's eyes filled with tears, and her eyes turned red. "Don't you understand? I want to go with you!"

"Chen Daoxuan, I want to be your Dao companion! You can't leave me!"

Just as she spoke, a voice suddenly sounded in Chen Daoxuan's ear.
