Although he now had a valuable treasure in his possession that he couldn’t yet utilize, it wasn’t necessarily bad news. Jiang Xiaobai was only one Yuan Infant’s perfection away from entering the Transcendence phase.
When he finally made it to the Transcendence phase, his strength would dramatically increase!
Jiang Xiaobai felt considerably contented. He was already satisfied with obtaining such a valuable treasure within the system.
Having calmed his heart, his anticipation for dealing with the Ancient Tribe grew. He wondered what their reaction would be when he, who was seen by everyone as useless, returned in grandeur to mend his honor.
Jiang Xiaobai then popped two elixir pills into his mouth and closed his eyes in meditation to heal his wounds.
That night, Li Muzhou hosted a banquet for Jiang Xiaobai. This time, Jiang
Xiaobai did not refuse. Notably, Sun Shouheng was also present at the banquet.
He got along well with Li Muzhou, and naturally knew about Jiang Xiaobai’s affairs at the Li Residence.
Both men were immensely polite to Jiang Xiaobai, addressing him as
“Immortal Master” or “Senior” , despite both of them being older than Jiang Xiaobai; this was quite irksome to Jiang Xiaobai who later insisted they refer to him as Young Master Jiang.
After the third round of drinks, Li Muzhou, already fairly drunk, began to confess something he had been reluctant to voice out.
“Young Master Jiang, my daughter has always dreamed of cultivating immortality. I recognize that you are a highly skilled individual. Would you mind looking at her to see if she’s suited for cultivation?” Li Muzhou said hesitantly.
At this, Li Qingzhou’s eyes began to gleam with anticipation, and she stared at Jiang Xiaobai intensely.
To which, Jiang Xiaobai kindly replied, “Master Li, truth be told, I’ve already examined Qingzhou’s potential before. She’s highly talented, and it would be such a waste if she doesn’t pursue cultivation.”
Having heard this, the somewhat inebriated Li Muzhou instantly sobered up, his face filled with astonishment.
“Is this true?” Li Muzhou exclaimed.
“Certainly. I see no reason to deceive you.” Jiang Xiaobai said, smiling. “Thanks to Master Li’s life-saving aid this time, I can guide Qingzhou onto the path of cultivation. ”
With those words barely out of Jiang Xiaobai’s mouth, Li Qingzhou leaped up from her seat, shaking her father’s arm in excitement.
“Father, did you hear that? I can cultivate immortality!” Li Qingzhou exclaimed in jubilation.
“Uh… Young Master Jiang, would you even consider taking my daughter as a disciple?” Li Muzhou asked, bewildered.
Jiang Xiaobai shook his head lightly with a smile. The thought of taking Li Qingzhou as his disciple was obviously out of the question. Not just because of his lack of experience, but his current predicament made it impossible for him to accept a disciple.
To accept Li Qingzhou as his disciple would be nothing short of bringing harm on her.
“Rest assured, Master Li. Tomorrow, I will take her with me to Tianyuan City, where I can guide her into a sect or a similar organization for cultivation, ” said Jiang Xiaobai, wearing a calm smile.
“Very well, very well. Oh, Qingzhou, your wish is finally coming true,” said Li Muzhou, laughing heartily.
Li Qingzhou was so agitated that she was on the verge of tears.
But in the midst of this, Jiang Xiaobai dampened the spirits a bit, “Qingzhou, however, before we go forward, I need your opinion on something. You must understand that once you start cultivating immortality, your lifespan will not be anything like that of an average person. Even at the Qi refining phase, one can live up to three hundred years.”
“Furthermore, if you decide to cultivate, you must sever your worldly ties. Can you handle that?”
At his words, an uncomfortable silence fell upon the dinner table; Li Muzhou and his daughter didn’t dare to look each other in the eye.
A journey of this magnitude could last decades, even centuries. Everything as they know it could crumble into dust.
As for this matter, Jiang Xiaobai had no solution as using an elixir to forcefully increase one’s lifespan did not comply with the rules of Daoism.
Doing so would not only lead to repercussions for himself but also for Li Muzhou, who would suffer in hell after passing away. The worst-case scenario would be soul dispersion.
Especially as Jiang Xiaobai’s skills improved, his understanding of such matters deepened. It is also worth mentioning that he now had a trace of demerit.
As the others were silent for a while, Jiang Xiaobai got up and walked out, leaving them to make the decision themselves.
Early the next morning, as soon as Jiang Xiaobai opened the door, he was greeted by Li Qingzhou, who had already packed her bags and was ready to cultivate.
To Jiang Xiaobai’s surprise, Li Muzhou was very supportive of this decision since one cannot enforce the fate of immortality!
After confirming their decision multiple times, Jiang Xiaobai didn’t linger on, and straight away took Li Qingzhou and set off from Spring Lake City.
At the city outskirts, both Li Muzhou and Sun Shouheng were there to bid them farewell. Tears could be seen trickling down from the corner of Li Muzhou’s eyes.
The journey to Tianyuan City was over a hundred thousand miles from Spring Lake City. Once departed, it was essentially a permanent farewell as it was a distance impossible for an average person to travel in their lifetime.
However, what surprised Jiang Xiaobai was Li Qingzhou’s exceptional mental resilience. Right after bidding formal farewell to Li Muzhou, she resolutely followed Jiang Xiaobai out of Spring Lake City.
Observing this, Jiang Xiaobai inwardly nodded his approval. Such a mentality could be of tremendous help on the road to cultivation.
After leaving the area from which Spring Lake City could be seen, Jiang Xiaobai donned a black robe and an iron mask. A ripple of spiritual power lifted them into the air, heading straight to Tianyuan City.
Given the special circumstances, Jiang Xiaobai shielded his aura the entire way, fearing detection.
Fortunately, the journey went smoothly. After two days of travel, they finally arrived in Tianyuan city.
Jiang Xiaobai started by treating Li Qingzhou to a lavish meal and then took
her straight to the Golden Pavilion.
Without a doubt, Jiang Xiaobai thought the Golden Pavilion would be an excellent place for Li Qingzhou to cultivate. The Golden Pavilion was far from weak, and with a few words from him, Li Qingzhou’s development could fare much better than if she were to cultivate within a large sect.
The moment they stepped into the Golden Pavilion, Lu Lian noticed Jiang Xiaobai and immediately approached him.
“Iron-faced Sir, you’re finally here!” exclaimed Lu Lian, his face filled with excitement.
Jiang Xiaobai raised an eyebrow. While it was true that he had brought many benefits to the Golden Pavilion, he hadn’t seen Lu Lian this excited before. Jiang Xiaobai then asked curiously, “What’s the matter?”

“To be honest, our young master has been waiting for you for quite some time…” Lu Lian hurriedly replied, “Iron-faced Sir, please come with me. Our young master has important matters to discuss with you.”
At these words, Jiang Xiaobai understood.
The last time he had visited the Golden Pavilion, Qian Dabao had mentioned this. At that time, Jiang Xiaobai didn’t pay much attention and neither had he given any response.
To his surprise, the young master from behind the scenes of the Golden Pavilion had actually shown up!
Soon, guided by Lu Lian, he entered the same secret chamber from the last time. Not long after, Qian Dabao and a mature-looking young man entered..
