Chapter 70

"No rush, no rush!"

Bai Lu's heart was pounding, but she forced herself to calm down and organize her thoughts—

"I'm currently in a physical body in the cultivation world, but I'm also in a physical body in modern society! Can a person have two bodies? One body and one clone? Can my cultivation level even create a clone? Sigh, who cares! It's not important! The most important thing now is to find a way back to modern society!"

"I don't want to live in the cultivation world forever, but..."

Bai Lu's eyes brightened slightly: "We can use this place as a supply depot. If we need anything in the future, we can come back to purchase it. But what about spirit stones...? The spiritual energy content of modern spirit stones and jade is nowhere near that of those in the cultivation world. If we use spirit stones as currency, we can't afford much!"

Bai Lu had a blank expression, looking extremely troubled, but she quickly put the problem aside: "Things will work themselves out. We'll ask the officials to come up with a solution. There are so many experts; they should be able to come up with some useful strategies."

"Modern cultivation is in decline, and many traditions have been lost. However, the Bu Liu Xing Sect is a declining sect with a rich history. There are still many cultivation techniques and secret manuals in its library. If we could really travel between the two worlds anytime and anywhere, we could try to make copies of some of them and take them back."

The library of the Bu Liu Xing Sect has four floors. Outer disciples can borrow books on the first and second floors, only inner disciples can enter the third floor, and only direct disciples are qualified to enter the fourth floor.

But with their rudimentary modern cultivation skills, even the first level would be enough to shock them for many years.

Bai Lu felt that improving the combat effectiveness of modern cultivators was an urgent matter.

In recent years, supernatural events have occurred frequently in modern times, and the level of evil spirits is getting higher and higher, making them increasingly difficult to deal with. However, the cultivation level of modern cultivators is at most at the peak of the Great Perfection of Qi Refining. There is not even a single Foundation Establishment cultivator. Moreover, their cultivation level is very high, but their strength is very low. Otherwise, Bai Lu would not have been able to fight against Qingxu Daoist and Songfeng Daoist alone. This situation is extremely contradictory.

Moreover, ever since she returned to the modern world, she has felt that the Heavenly Dao of that place is extremely abnormal, and its binding force on cultivators and demons is full of loopholes.

This is not a good sign, but she doesn't know why it's happening, and if she wants to ask someone...

Her biggest connection was the fat manager, but the current fat manager—

For now, probably, likely, possibly, I don't want to, and won't, pay any attention to her.

She might lose her job managing the spirit fields.

Well, that's all for later. The egret began to try to return to the modern world.

I was beaten by the fat steward before my consciousness returned to the modern world. Do I have to be beaten up again if I want to go back?
That hurts so much!

Besides, she's only at the first level of Qi Refining right now. If she gets beaten up, she might just die...

—Oh right, she's currently at the first level of Qi Refining, which is her cultivation level in the modern world. Does that mean her current "avatar" is from the modern world?! Her original body is still in the modern world?!

Regardless, the fat steward certainly wouldn't lay a hand on her again now. Beating her up would have cost him four pills, and beating her again might cost him another four, which would really kill his stingy old man.

Bai Lu sat on the simple wooden bed, her hands tightly gripping the storage bag containing all her savings from the cultivation world.

Finally, she cleared her mind and tried the most primitive method, with only one thought in her mind—to return to the modern world!

After an unknown amount of time, Bailu finally felt a wave of dizziness. A strong feeling of weightlessness washed over her, and she felt as if she were being squeezed, as if her heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys were about to jump out of her throat. She immediately kicked her feet and woke up with a start.

Opening his eyes, he found himself in a wooden room, feeling somewhat disoriented, and muttered to himself, "Could it be that I still haven't been able to go back?"

No way!
No! !

"Sis! You're finally awake?! It's my great-grandmother! I got back this morning, and it's almost dark now, but you're finally awake! How are you feeling?! Does anything hurt?"

Bai Chen and Bai Wei quickly came over and habitually touched her forehead. Hmm, she didn't have a fever.

Just now, Bai Lu's eyelids twitched slightly. They thought it was their imagination. Just as they called Master Qingxu over, they saw her eyelashes flutter, and she immediately opened her big eyes, her pupils wide open, which startled Bai Chen. He vaguely heard her speak and hurriedly asked, "What did you just say?"

The egret's call was almost inaudible, and Bai Chen didn't hear it clearly at first.

"Nothing said."

Bai Lu shook her head. The moment she saw Bai Chen, her heart was at peace. She was back and hadn't lingered in the cultivation world. That was wonderful!
I wonder if there's still a physical body lying in a dormitory in the current cultivation world.

Bai Lu smiled and sat up on the bed. She noticed large patches of blood on her chest and her eyes flickered. She remembered being beaten to the point of vomiting blood by the fat steward. It was a moment when the two worlds were connected.

—If I was injured in the cultivation world, and my modern body is showing signs of it, does that mean that if I die in the cultivation world, I will also die in the modern world?!

That's really bad! The cultivation world is so dangerous!!

"You can get up on your own? That means Master Qingxu's pills are still effective!"

Bai Chen breathed a sigh of relief. He knew that he had been a bit extreme in his emotions when Bai Lu was injured. Now that Bai Lu looked much better, he sincerely apologized to Daoist Qingxu.

Master Qingxu waved his hand, limped forward to take Bailu's pulse, and almost burst into tears of joy: "It's good that Xiaolu is alright. Apart from not having regained her cultivation, all her injuries have been healed by pills!"

These ancestral elixirs are amazing!

Upon hearing this, Bai Lu examined her dantian and meridians internally and discovered the aura of an unknown elixir, as well as the aura of a Qi-replenishing pill.

The unknown pill was slowly releasing its medicinal effects, and it contained many impurities; it wasn't even a low-grade first-class pill... a low-quality pill.

It's edible and effective; for ordinary people, it truly is a longevity-promoting elixir.

However, for cultivators, not only is it slow to take effect, but it also contains toxicity. Compared to the Yuan-replenishing pills of the cultivation world, it is truly incomparable, let alone a second-tier Yuan-restoring pill.

The Replenishing Pill has almost restored her body to its original state, and it has also neutralized some impurities from the inferior pill.

Very well, she shouldn't have had any expectations of modern elixirs.

Suddenly, Bailu reached for her waist—and found nothing there!
What the hell!

That's her wealth accumulated over the past ten years!

She quickly got up to check, but as soon as she stood up, Bai Chen hurriedly helped her up, saying, "What are you looking for? Tell me! You've only just gotten a little better, don't move around!"

Bai Lu was forcibly pressed back onto the low couch. She clicked her tongue and was about to stand up again, but Bai Chen held her down and wouldn't let her move. She had no choice but to say, "I have a purse. Have you seen it?"

"Pouch?"

Bai Wei was about to say that she hadn't seen the purse when she changed her clothes, but before she could say it, she saw a light green purse on the bed. She picked it up: "Is this it?" "Yes!"

Bai Lu quickly took it and probed it with her divine sense. Great, everything was there, nothing was missing!

Bai Chen felt a little strange, but after glancing at Master Qingxu, he didn't say anything and sat down next to Bai Lu: "How are you feeling now? Do you want to continue recuperating at the temple or go home? Let me tell you, I was afraid you wouldn't be able to handle the zombie matter properly, so I came up with a plan to get most of the villagers to come to our house to play cards. My mother objected. If you want to go home, I have to go back and clear the place first."

Otherwise, how can you recover from an injury if it's all so noisy and chaotic!

Bai Lu nodded: "Then you go back and clear the area. I need to talk to Master Qingxu about something, then I'll go back with your second sister."

"Okay! Mom just called to ask when my second sister and I are going back, and I made up an excuse for her."

Bai Chen didn't waste any words and went straight down the mountain. Once he was down, he slapped his forehead and said, "No wonder I felt so tired on the way here. I was carrying someone. Why didn't I drive here?"

Cultivating immortality didn't make him smarter; instead, he subconsciously forgot about modern technology!
There was nothing I could do but take a taxi home, where the house was still bustling with activity.

Bai Chen: Smiles slightly.

As the saying goes, it's easy to invite a god but hard to send him away; tonight we have a tough battle to fight...

……

"Xiao Lu, we owe you so much this time, otherwise we, master and disciple, would have been in grave danger!"

Master Qingxu sighed, "It's a good thing you're alright, otherwise my conscience and mine would never be at peace!"

Master Songfeng and Master Lao Er also looked on with emotion!
"You're too kind, Taoist priest. I just don't want those wandering corpses to cause trouble everywhere. After all, I also live in this world, and I should do my part for my own peaceful life."

Bai Lu added, "Although I was injured, I still want to thank you for the two pills—but what's good is that the matter involving construction site number three can be said to have come to an end."

"How to say?"

The second Taoist priest asked doubtfully, "According to the replication formation, isn't there possibly another corpse-raising site? There are four in total: one at construction site number three, one at the wandering corpse site, one at Mr. Lu's abandoned factory, so there should be one last one!"

The abandoned factory was reported to the police by a small team that specializes in outdoor adventures. They originally wanted to film a series about haunted abandoned hospitals and factories, but they unexpectedly encountered zombies and were terrified. However, they were unwilling to let go of such explosive material.

Finally, while calling the police, they filmed the scene. The poor zombie was a white zombie that had just been buried. People were afraid of it, but it was even more afraid of people. It was so frightened by the flash that it ran around in all directions. When the Xuanmen people arrived, the team could no longer find the white zombie. It was hidden very well. The Xuanmen people finally found it in a hole that it had dug itself.

In the end, the entire team signed a confidentiality agreement and handed over the video. They received a good moral lecture—they weren't always so lucky; if they had encountered other evil entities, they really would have died!
However, this squad appeared obedient on the surface, but inside they were extremely excited!
—They're going to keep encountering ghosts!

"I think that if it really exists, the people behind the zombie farms will control the zombies and prevent them from causing trouble in the short term."

The egret shared its guess.

"I don't know if you noticed, but when we were fighting the zombies, the old man, who had absolute control over them, didn't let them kill us. This shows that they didn't want to escalate the situation."

"But I don't know the reason behind it, and I'll have to leave that to you to investigate. But overall, we should be able to live peacefully for the time being."

She stood up, walked to the window, and pushed open the creaking window.

The moonlight shone on her face, cool and real.

She took a deep breath; the air was filled with the freshness of nature, and in the distance, she could see the branches of the small ginkgo tree stretching in the wind.

She could almost hear the little ginkgo's tender voice: "Little egret, little egret—"

The egret loves this world; she certainly doesn't want any powerful demons or monsters to appear and destroy it.

"You have a point."

Master Qingxu nodded: "We have now reported everything to headquarters and someone will handle it. You are still recovering from your serious injuries, so please rest well. We will arrange for people to protect you."

"No need."

Bai Lu shook her head and refused Master Qingxu's arrangement. After all, she was now surrounded by secrets. What was the difference between protection and surveillance in the dark? She was not used to having someone watching her all the time.

"However, there is something I would like to ask you for a favor, Daoist Master!" Bai Lu changed the subject.

"you say!!"

Without hesitation, Master Qingxu agreed. He was more worried that Bailu would ask for nothing than to have a request from him. Without any mutual benefit, their relationship would be very unstable!

Even if they had shared life and death.

"When I exchanged the Spirit Gathering Array with Daoist Songfeng, he gave me a spirit stone. I would like to ask you to help me find more, the more the better. As for money... I don't have any!"

The egret stated its poverty with self-righteousness: "But I can draw talismans, or any other formations I know. How about we make a trade?"

"That kind of spirit jade is hard to find."

Master Qingxu frowned, but still agreed: "I will try my best to contact someone for you. There is more of this kind of spiritual jade in Myanmar. The piece I will exchange for you is a top-quality one mined from the jade mine center, but the quantity is very small and the price is very high. If the quantity of the exchange is large, we will have to apply to our superiors."

"That's it..."

Bailu was not disappointed with the result, after all, she had been mentally prepared.

The fact that Master Songfeng valued such a small amount of stuff at 100 million yuan is enough to show its worth—it was ridiculously expensive!

If she were to buy it with money, her assets of nearly ten million wouldn't be enough, but if she were to exchange it for goods...

Although she brought back her life savings from the cultivation world, wasn't it putting the cart before the horse to use things from the cultivation world to exchange for spirit jade to buy things in the cultivation world?

It seems that the path of earning spirit stones in the modern cultivation world is blocked, so the only option is to find a way to make money in the cultivation world.

Can she make money in the world of cultivation?
As a shut-in servant who has been in the sect for thirteen years since her time travel and never goes on missions unless absolutely necessary, if she had a business mind, she would have been thriving in the cultivation world long ago.

This matter requires further consideration.
