Zhu Xian: Get ten times the talent, the sword opens the gate of heaven

"puff!"

Linglong suddenly burst out laughing.

Seeing Zhang Xiaofan's serious expression, Linglong laughed for a full ten breaths, her laughter flamboyant and wicked.

After calming down a bit, he then said:

"Your serious expression is so funny, I almost burst out laughing."

Sprayed?

Zhang Xiaofan murmured to himself, a bold idea rising in his mind.

But now is the crucial time to become an immortal, not the time to think about these things. However, seeing Linglong's radiant smile, he subconsciously said:

"Linglong, although you usually have a stern face and an ethereal, beautiful and perfect demeanor, your unconventional smile is also very captivating."

Linglong was taken aback, clearly not expecting Zhang Xiaofan to say such a thing.

After a moment of contemplation, Linglong finally said:

"By saying that, can I assume you have feelings for me?"

"Ha..." Zhang Xiaofan chuckled, making no attempt to hide anything, and said truthfully:
"A woman as beautiful as you, with such profound knowledge of witchcraft, who wouldn't be moved..."

"Coincidentally, I've also fallen for you."

Upon hearing this, Linglong extended her slender, white fingers and shook them, saying:

"Give up on that idea. All these years, I've never been attracted to any man. Because I'm incredibly proud, and I believe no man is worthy of hurting me. But..."

Linglong stopped there.

Upon seeing this, Zhang Xiaofan continued:

"But it wasn't until I, Zhang Xiaofan, appeared out of nowhere that you discovered there were people in this world whom you admired, men who were worthy of you."

Linglong smiled gently, pointed at Zhang Xiaofan, and shook her slender finger, saying:

"You, you're really confident!"

Zhang Xiaofan stared into Linglong's eyes and said:
"Just tell me, is it yes or no?"

"Yes!" Linglong replied, but quickly added:

"However, you only inspire my admiration a little bit right now, because you and I are now at the same level."

"Unless you become an immortal, then I will truly admire you and be moved by you!"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Xiaofan thought to himself that the more outstanding a woman is, the more she admires strength, and the witch Linglong is no exception.

Indeed, in the last few thousand years, if we were to say who could be worthy of Linglong, perhaps only Master Qingye of the Qingyun Sect could be considered.

However, Linglong is probably someone who values ​​appearance, even though Master Qingye's Taoist skills are astonishing and he has reached the Taiqing Perfection realm.

However, he is by no means very handsome.

Moreover, although Master Qingye has reached the Taiqing Perfection realm, he might not be able to defeat Linglong.

Therefore, even the exceptionally talented Master Qingye was beneath Linglong's notice.

If Zhang Xiaofan hadn't gained ten times the talent, plus a series of precognitive and extraordinary encounters, he probably wouldn't have caught Linglong's eye.

This woman has such high standards!
However, although Linglong has high standards, she also has the right to be proud.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call him the most amazing person in the world in ten thousand years.

It's natural for a woman like that to have high standards.

Thinking of this, Zhang Xiaofan stared at Linglong and said:
"Becoming an immortal would make you fall in love?"

"If I could really become an immortal, why don't we just get straight to it and you marry me?"

"What?" Linglong stared blankly at Zhang Xiaofan and said:
"So fast? Have you lost your mind?"

"No," Zhang Xiaofan said earnestly.
"Look at you, with such high standards, and you've been single for so long. Your sorcery is profound; you must know that all things need a balance of yin and yang."

"You are Yin, I am Yang; only through the balance of Yin and Yang can we attain eternal life." "Ahem!" Linglong coughed lightly and laughed.

"You look like a charlatan trying to swindle people."

Zhang Xiaofan waved his hand and said:
"Forget about all the charlatans and nonsense, let's get straight to the point and go crazy. If I become an immortal, will you marry me?"

Upon hearing this, Linglong's eyes darted around, and her expression showed some hesitation.

Seeing this, Zhang Xiaofan continued:

"Whether it's okay or not, how can a witch with profound sorcery be so timid and hesitant?"

"Let's go crazy! If we don't, we'll be single forever, forever shrouded in loneliness! Come on, let's go crazy!"

As Zhang Xiaofan was speaking, he suddenly switched to English.

Upon hearing this, Linglong was somewhat moved, feeling that what Zhang Xiaofan said seemed to make some sense.

So he gritted his teeth, made up his mind, and said:

"I was afraid you'd provoke me, so let's settle it like this today. If you can truly become an immortal, I will marry you."

"Good!" Zhang Xiaofan, as if imagining a peerless beauty like Linglong becoming his personal concubine, was overjoyed and immediately said:

"Come, let's begin, let's study your method of immortality."

Linglong was taken aback, then thought for a moment and said:

"I just promised you that if you become an immortal, I will marry you immediately."

"And now you're asking me about the methods of immortality and witchcraft, to increase your chances of becoming an immortal. Doesn't that mean I'm helping you save up for your dowry?"

"Haha..." Zhang Xiaofan scratched his head and said:

"It seems that's the case. So, would you still like to instruct me on the method of immortality and your profound sorcery?"

Linglong glared at Zhang Xiaofan and said:

"Am I that kind of person?"

"Come on, let's begin!"

"Thank you!" Zhang Xiaofan bowed again, expressing his gratitude politely.

Then, Linglong began to explain to Zhang Xiaofan the methods of immortality she had comprehended, as well as the methods of non-existence.

Zhang Xiaofan was eager to learn and listened patiently.

Linglong discovered that Zhang Xiaofan could easily understand every method of immortality and witchcraft she explained.

They can even quickly apply what they've learned to other situations.

This was a huge blow to Linglong, who considered herself exceptionally intelligent. Having followed Zhang Xiaofan for twelve years while hiding behind the Xuanhuo Mirror, she knew he was extremely clever.

However, now that she had personally explained the method of witchcraft for longevity, Zhang Xiaofan quickly grasped it, which gave her a deeper understanding of his intelligence.

Only one sentence could summarize Zhang Xiaofan's intelligence: ... Inhuman!

And so, as Linglong explained the method of immortality and her witchcraft to Zhang Xiaofan, and Zhang Xiaofan listened patiently and comprehended it, time passed quietly, and ten days went by in the blink of an eye.

Outside the Holy Tower!
The great wizard stood in the open space, surrounded by hundreds of jars of rare spirits.

The Grand Wizard lay on a recliner, occasionally craning his neck to look towards the exit of the Holy Tower. However, each time he peeked out, he did not see Zhang Xiaofan appear.

This worried him, wondering if something had happened to Zhang Xiaofan and the Witch Queen inside the Holy Tower.

If it weren't for the witch's instructions not to enter the Holy Tower at will, the great wizard would have already rushed in with his unsteady legs.

Amidst his worry, the high wizard looked at Tumagu beside him and asked:

"Tu Magu, it's been ten days already. Master Zhang hasn't come out for so long. Do you think the witch goddess might be in trouble?"

"After all, Master Zhang's Taoist magic is astonishing, and he is too handsome. What if the witch falls for him?"
