I've never felt happy to become an immortal.

Chapter 88 Clouds move in all directions
An inn.

Master Jingxuan sat on a chair, and the two disciples in front of her struggled to maintain their posture, with a bowl full of water on their heads, a wooden barrel hanging on their wrists, and their right foot raised with a stick of incense placed under their feet.

In order to punish two disciples who sneaked out to the market and caused a lot of trouble, Master Jingxuan used the most primitive method - corporal punishment.

Qingshu was implicated by He'er.

But as the senior sister, she couldn't push the junior sister out, so she had to grit her teeth and hold on.

Junior sister He'er complained bitterly.

But she didn't know that Master Jingxuan had no objection to the child's playful nature, and letting her go out was like turning a blind eye. What the master was dissatisfied with was that her disciple He'er seemed to have fallen in love for the first time.

Pay close attention to a young hero on the Crouching Dragon List.

This is not a good thing.

Not to mention that the young hero is already married, even if he is not, problems can easily arise according to the traditional skills of the Baimei School.

That's why Master Jingxuan planned to force He'er to practice martial arts and use this matter to dilute her thoughts.

"Master, I was wrong!" He'er cried and shouted that she was wronged.

Qingshu remained silent. She actually felt that her master had gone too easy on her... She'd suffered the same fate herself, nearly getting scammed and swindled. She completely distrusted that rubbish ranking list. It only judged strength, not character. You can only judge a person by their appearance, not their heart! It would be best if Junior Sister stayed in the Baimei Sect for the rest of her life!
However, she didn't want her junior sister to blame the master. Instead, she sighed and said, "Junior sister, I hope you won't buy anything related to that person anymore. This time, it was because of him that you had an argument with the people around you. Why did it come to this?"

He'er sobbed and said, "I just think what they said is too much..."

"Who on the list doesn't carry a lot of prestige? How can this be considered excessive? If you can't even handle this little bit of pressure, you might as well retire early." Nun Jingxuan snorted coldly, "Who are you to speak for him? Besides, you only know the list, what do you know about him as a person? Can you take hearsay seriously?"

"If you don't see it with your own eyes, even if you're number one on the Crouching Dragon Ranking, you could still be a heartless person!"

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a loud thunder between heaven and earth.

The Book of Bu Tian rises and the ranking changes.

The three of them looked up at the sky at the same time, watching the Book of Repairing the Sky turn over.

[Top of Crouching Dragon List: Bai Xuan! ]

Boom, boom—!
The three masters and apprentices all had their pupils trembling.

He'er subconsciously relaxed her strength, and only reacted when the incense poked the soles of her feet. She hugged her feet and jumped up comically.

Qingshu and Master Jingxuan ignored her and pondered for a moment.

"It's only been a few days since we last met, and he actually..."

Number one on the Crouching Dragon Ranking, defeated the Great Poison Sect on the Earth Ranking, and killed a master on the Human Ranking... Is this a human?

Qingshu was so surprised that she couldn't speak: "Master, is it the same person?"

"He's already number one on the Crouching Dragon Ranking upon entering." Nun Jingxuan couldn't hide her surprise and mused, "I think it's true. He was able to cut off my weapon with one sword strike. It's definitely not a coincidence."

"Now I can finally see it with my own eyes." Qingshu murmured.

"The Southern Dynasty's martial arts world is going to be bustling now." Jing Xuan closed his eyes and murmured, "Old man... your perspective on people and things has been poor all your life, but when it comes to accepting disciples, you've finally been able to see past this blindness."

……

Langya Lin clan.

Lin Bu Ren walked out of the Lin family meeting hall.

Lin Jiaolu immediately came forward and asked, "What's going on, Uncle Wu?"

"The negotiation results are quite good. The Lu family is willing to give up some of their interests." Lin Buren said, "But they don't seem to be willing to give up the core part."

"Then, what about the relics from Bai Wuming's former residence?" Lin Jiaolu didn't care about these major issues. She left the conflicts of interest between prominent families to her elders. She cared more about other things.

Lin Bu Ren said with a smile: "Girl, you don't care about the interests of the Lin family, you only care about your dowry?"

Lin Jiaolu smiled shyly: "After all, I'm going to get married in two years."

"They didn't agree." Lin Buren shook his head. "I thought they would agree if I just mentioned it, but it seems Bai Wuming's relics are more valuable than we thought."

Lin Jiaolu was very dissatisfied and frowned. The little deer rolled up his sleeves and said, "How about letting me go in and vent my anger?"

"It's no use playing the good cop or the bad cop at this point. They're all old foxes." Lin Buren stopped him. "We can't mention it too much, or they'll think it's a breakthrough in the negotiations, which will only cause more trouble."

Lin Jiaolu was sulking and pulled the Moon-Chasing Wolf's fur hard. Mei Niang whimpered helplessly.

In the meeting hall, Mr. Lu San, who had come to negotiate with the Fanyang Lu family, came out with a smile and said, "Let's stop here for today. It's getting late. Let's go back and rest. We'll continue tomorrow."

Negotiation requires time and patience, and it takes time to polish things off.

Lin Bu Ren said calmly, "I hope the Lu family will show some sincerity tomorrow. If they are not willing to give up even a simple benefit, then there is no point in continuing the discussion."

"Hey, Brother Lin, what you said..." Master Lu was about to play the emotional card.

Boom——!
The Book of Repairing the Sky rose up, and the huge noise disturbed the vast world of Jiuzhou.

The pages of the book turn, new records and new names are announced to the world in a deafening manner.

The top of the Wolong list has been replaced by a new person!
Lin Jiaolu just held her cheek and looked at the Book of Bu Tian casually until she saw a name. She straightened her back instantly and stared at every word of the Book of Bu Tian without blinking. Her eyes instantly became bright as the moon.

[Top of Crouching Dragon List: Bai Xuan! ]

【Comment: I have a sword that can reach the abyss! 】

“Ahhhhhh——!” The little girl screamed in ecstasy and jumped off the back of the Moon-Chasing Wolf. She grabbed Lin Buren’s sleeve and jumped up and down: “Fifth Uncle, Fifth Uncle, Fifth Uncle! Did you see that? That’s real, right? Is it true?!”

Lin Buren also spent a lot of effort to suppress the shock in his heart. He maintained a poker face and smiled: "I see, I see... That kid, in just a few days, actually caused such a big commotion. He really is something special, hahahaha!"

His smile also came from the heart.

Before this, everyone had more or less felt that Bai Xuan was no ordinary person, but only at this moment did they truly feel how extraordinary this young man was.

It's only been a few days and big news has come out!

Mr. Lu San thought he was dazzled several times and kept looking at the contents of the Book of Patching the Sky in the sky. It was not until it completely disappeared that he realized that he was not mistaken. Such exaggerated words would be criticized by the audience as too exaggerated and illogical if put in a historical novel.

"Hiss..." Master Lu San took a breath of cold air: "This young man is incredible! He topped the Crouching Dragon List right after entering the country. This is no longer just a rare talent. I'm afraid..."

"My husband has the talent of a god!" Lin Jiaolu declared proudly.

"She is indeed a figure of heavenly status... Wait, husband?" Third Master Lu looked at Lin Buren and asked, "Is my niece Lin married?"

"Well... well, that's it." If it were before, Lin Buren would definitely just laugh it off, but now...

The corners of his mouth curled up wildly, and he couldn't suppress it at all: "Indeed, there is already a marriage certificate with the seal of the head of the family, and the other party is the one who made it to the list this time."

There was a strong sense of boasting in that calm expression. Mr. Lu's eyes twitched, and he cupped his hands, forcing a smile: "Congratulations."

Smiling on the surface, but thinking MMP in the heart.

He didn't understand. His Lu family was also a prominent family. They had legitimate daughters and collateral branches. There were also several stunning beauties, and some were on the Sleeping Dragon List. How could Lin Jiaolu pick up such a huge treasure just by going out?

Could it be that there is something wrong with the Lu family's training method? Should they send the daughters of the family to travel more in the martial arts world?
No matter what, the growth of the Lin family is not a good thing for the Lu family, especially at this critical juncture.

"Come to think of it, I have your Lu family to thank for this." Lin Buren continued, clearly wanting to vent his frustrations at the negotiation table. Without waiting for the other party to ask questions, he went straight to the point of killing and destroying their hearts: "This Mr. Bai Xuan is the young man who took good care of my Jiaolu in Wu County, sharing life and death with me. If it weren't for the evil intentions of this Lu family's side branch, I'm afraid we wouldn't even be able to discuss marriage now."

"I have to thank the Lu family very much. This matchmaking is really great."

Lin Buren laughed out loud.

Mr. Lu San couldn't laugh anymore and his face turned black.

Gan Lin's mother! She actually still has a grudge against me!
What kind of monster did that branch of Wuxian County provoke!

"This matter shouldn't be made public. I hope Mr. Lu San won't spread it out." Lin Buren deliberately added, "Mr. Lu San, please go down and rest..."

Lin Buren was a man of many thoughts. He knew that this engagement was not legitimate and that it was not appropriate for the Lin family to spread the news. But if the Lu family spread it secretly, that would be another matter.

As for rumors, three people make a tiger... With this rumor, even if the marriage certificate is not true enough, it is true enough.

Third Master Lu sighed heavily: "I think it's a little early to rest now. Why don't we talk about what we just talked about..."

"That's fine." Lin Buren understood the hidden meaning...the Lu family wanted to take a step back.

The Lu family was not necessarily afraid of Bai Xuan, but they thought it was appropriate to pay a small price to avoid an enemy who might achieve a heavenly position in the future.

The group returned to the meeting hall.

Lin Buren instructed Lin Jiaolu, "Take the marriage certificate with you and give it to your mother. Tell her everything that happened, word for word."

Lin Jiaolu's eyes were filled with clear stupidity: "Didn't you say that we can't tell Mother for the time being?"

"Time has changed... If you tell your mother now, she'll take care of everything for you!" Lin Buren urged, "Go quickly!"

Lin Jiaolu jumped onto the back of Zhuiyue Wolf and said, "Mei Niang, let's go!"

Came to the mistress's courtyard where my mother lived.

Lin Jiaolu ran in quickly, and after about a cup of tea.

The hostess of the Lin family was arrogant and smiled wildly as she led her daughter straight to the master's study. She was so aggressive all the way that she seemed to have the spirit to flatten the mountains and rivers.

This stunned the Lin family members who were passing by with their bowls in hand, and they thought they were going to catch the head of the family committing adultery.

"The mistress has arrived, everyone get out of the way!"

"Auntie, what are you doing...?"

"This concerns my daughter's lifelong affairs. I must get the family seal today!"

……

Fuso Islands.

There is an island called Sakura Island, where it is spring all year round and cherry blossoms are falling all year round.

At the deepest part of the island, there is a courtyard under a hundred-foot-tall cherry tree.

A woman sat quietly until a slight movement caught her attention.

"Someone is coming."

Her voice is as clear as a girl's, but it cannot hide the vicissitudes of life.

"Master Liu!"

There was a ninja kneeling in the courtyard.

"Send Hayate and Kagura to Kyushu... to investigate this newcomer."

"Also, remember to bring back some things I need."

The ninja didn't dare to look directly at him, and bowed his head to greet him: "Hai!"

There was no one around, so the woman walked into the courtyard, wearing a gorgeous twelve-piece kimono, and danced gracefully among the falling cherry blossoms, humming a ballad softly.

……

Kyushu, crossing the fairyland.

More than a thousand years ago, the First Emperor needed to refine an elixir in order to achieve immortality.

In order to obtain the magical medicine from the five overseas fairy mountains, he ordered the strong men to move the mountains.

Three of the five fairy islands were moved to Kyushu, and of the remaining two, one drifted to Fusang and the other sank into the South China Sea.

Therefore, Penglai Mountain is now located in Jiuzhou. It used to be a fairy island and now it is a fairy mountain, but it has been hidden for many years and its location is difficult to find.

After the death of the First Emperor, the Xianshan Project was forced to terminate.

In the past, countless true practitioners have tried to find the locations of the three immortal mountains, but all have failed.

It is said that there was once a young woodcutter who mistakenly entered the Penglai Fairy Mountain and watched two old men playing chess there. After the game was over, he found that the axe handle had rotted away. After he went down the mountain, his relatives and friends were gone, and he realized that a hundred years had passed.

Three hundred years ago, Xie Xueji, a disciple of Bai Wuming, found the entrance to the Penglai Fairy Mountain and named it Duxianye.

Xie Xueji founded his sect here, hence the name Penglai Jiange.

In the past, Penglai Jiange was a place of tranquility and mystery.

Penglai Jiange is a little noisy today.

This is because there is an extra name in the Book of Repairing the Sky.

It's like a stone falling into a pond, causing slight ripples.

And the eyes sleeping under the pool of water also trembled slightly.

"You mean... the untold secrets of Jiange have been discovered by outsiders?"

"understood."

"I'll go investigate."
