Chapter 10: Suddenly Feeling Like I Understand

"What's next?"

Chen Chang'an glanced at Mao Ruxue and pointed to the grand hall behind him, saying,

"Next, I'm going back to the Sutra Pavilion to continue my seclusion."

"That over there is the main hall of our Hidden Dao Mountain."

"There are houses inside with beds to sleep on."

"As for cultivation techniques, there are some inside. When the time comes, you can go in and choose a few that resonate with you to practice."

"You can cultivate whatever type you want, no need to consult with me."

At this point, Chen Chang'an seemed to remember something and continued,

"Oh, right, there's a rice jar in the kitchen cellar. It hasn't been used for several years, so I'm not sure if the rice inside is still edible."

"You can go take a look later. If it's not edible, you can find some spiritual herbs in the medicinal garden to fill your stomach."

"Oh, and when you sleep at night, remember to find a room that's not drafty. There are quite a few mosquitoes on the mountain."

"Alright, that's it. If you have any questions, come find me. I'll be leaving now."

After speaking, Chen Chang'an found a small path leading to the back mountain and headed straight for the Sutra Pavilion.

Leaving Mao Ruxue standing there with a dumbfounded expression.

"What?"

"Can it really be like this?"

So, am I being abandoned?

Mao Ruxue was completely bewildered.

However, Mao Ruxue didn't know that this was just the beginning.

A while later, when she arrived at the so-called main hall of the mountain gate and saw the dilapidated house that was on the verge of collapse, she was dumbfounded.

"No way, can this mountain really be in such a state? There isn't even a place to live?"

Mao Ruxue then started searching inside the rooms.

She first went to the cellar that Chen Chang'an mentioned.

Sure enough, there was a large water jar in the cellar, and the lid of the jar was closed.

She thought that it must be filled with the Five Grains Spirit Rice.

Mao Ruxue thought to herself.

The next moment, she opened the water jar.

"Ah!"

However, when she opened the water jar, what she saw was not a jar full of Spirit Rice.

Instead, there were twenty fat and plump spiritual rats!

Seeing so many rats, Mao Ruxue was scared out of her wits.

For most of her early life, she was a young lady in the mansion, elegant and refined. Where had she ever seen such a scene?

She immediately ran out of the cellar.

She swore that she would never come to this damn cellar again.

"Let's go see other things. I don't believe there's really nothing left on this mountain!"

Immediately after, Mao Ruxue went to see other places.

The disciples' quarters at the mountain gate were dilapidated!

The bed frames were dilapidated!

The bedding was dilapidated!

The disciples' attire was intact (the robes automatically repelled dust), but they were either too small to fit into or too big to wear!

The kitchen stove was dilapidated and covered in dust!

After going around in a circle, Mao Ruxue fell into a deep silence.

[My name is Mao Ruxue, and I'm in a panic right now.]

[The reason is as follows.]

[Today, when I attended the Heavenly Water Sect's disciple recruitment ceremony, I was attracted by an advertisement from a place called Hidden Dao Mountain.]

[As long as I join here, I can avoid wasting twenty years and become an elder of the Heavenly Water Sect in advance.]

[Moreover, I have the opportunity to become the mountain lord of this mountain, the benefits are very attractive.]

[The only downside is that it is mentioned above that the mountain lord of Hidden Dao Mountain has no cultivation, but I don't mind because he was never my goal from the beginning.]

[I am naturally talented, a born genius. With or without someone guiding me, I can soar in minutes.]

[So, considering everything, with a curious mindset, I came here.]

[I originally thought that entering such a sect would require a difficult assessment.]

[But to my surprise, I was easily accepted into this mountain without any assessment!]

[They didn't even ask about my assessment results!]

[Everything feels like a dream.]

[I feel like I am the one chosen by the Dao Ancestor, so happy.]

[However, after arriving on the mountain, I found that things seemed different from what I expected.]

[First of all, the mountain lord Chen Chang'an really has no cultivation, and his situation is not like the kind where a powerful cultivator becomes useless. He truly cannot cultivate!]

[He can't even fly on a sword.]

[Going down the mountain, he runs; going up the mountain, he climbs.]

[So, as soon as I arrived at the foot of the mountain, I was forced to climb with him for nearly an hour, and my legs became weak.]

[But that's not the scariest part.]

[The scariest part is that there is really no one on this mountain! No elders, no other disciples, not even rice for dinner!]

[There are masters, but their ashes may have turned into water.]

[Oh my, could it be that I have entered a den of thieves?]

[But fortunately, it seems that the situation is not as bad as I imagined.]

[Apart from the lack of elders to guide me and the dilapidated facilities, everything else is quite good.]

[There are plenty of Divine Ability techniques. I just checked and there are more than ten Divine Ability techniques at the second and third realms for me to learn.]

[I can even see some insights into cultivation that reach the fourth realm.]

[Oh my, can disciples like me really have access to such things?]

[That's just the first benefit. The second benefit is that I seem to be promoted soon.]

[Promotion, of course, refers to social status.]

[My senior brother Chen Chang'an is just an ordinary person. Now, it is said that he is already in his thirties. Based on the average lifespan of an ordinary person, which is seventy years, in less than forty years, he will pass away.]

[By then, won't the position of Hidden Dao Mountain's mountain lord be mine?]

[So, I have decided.]

[From this moment on, I will work hard to cultivate and restore Hidden Dao Mountain!]

[Wow haha!]

[Wow!]

*Gurgle~!*

[Uh.]

[Restoring Hidden Dao Mountain can wait for now. The urgent matter is to find something to eat first.]

[Right, my senior brother just mentioned that if there is no rice in the rice jar, where can I find grass to eat?]

[Oh, right, I remember now, it's the medicinal garden!]

[Delicious spirit herbs, wait for me, I'll come and eat you soon!]

After briefly deciding on the future path, Mao Ruxue stood up excitedly and ran towards the medicinal garden.

"This little brat."

In the back mountain, inside the Sutra Pavilion, Chen Chang'an, who was observing with his divine sense, couldn't help but relax his mouth.

It's good that this little girl with a lack of common sense can adapt to the environment here.

This way, he doesn't have to go through the trouble of persuading her later. That kind of thing is really exhausting.

However, if Chen Chang'an were to know that the reason Mao Ruxue is so happy is because she is calculating his lifespan, he doesn't know if he would still be so happy.
