I Alone Am Immortal: My Rebirth and Leisurely Cultivation

Chapter 28 Doing Some Fun Things

"It's another quiet evening, and I'm curled up in a rocking chair enjoying the cool air."

I admit it's really peaceful, just like the old man downstairs.

This song isn't particularly difficult, but to sing it with a light and leisurely feel, you still need to express a bit of emotion.

When Li Yan sang it, no one had any professional opinion; they just thought it was actually pretty good.

Soon, they reached Mei Mengqian's female voice part, and Li Yan's gaze naturally turned to her.

I carefully admired the face under the light; after all, it would be a bit strange to stare at someone so openly on a normal day.

Her face was a classic oval shape, with a smooth, round, white forehead and eyes like layered, willow-leaf mountains. Her bright, autumnal eyes were fixed on the screen as she began to sing:
"I heard you're still working on some original content, but it seems like it's all just so-so."

Why not spend some time thinking about it and figuring out what it would look like?

Her voice wasn't the soft, sweet type; in Li Yan's opinion, it was more mature and sophisticated.

It tapped lightly against my ear, feeling somewhat alluring. Especially when paired with that face as beautiful as a poem or a painting.

As the song reached its chorus, Mei Mengqian noticed Li Yan staring at her.

Her voice suddenly rose a little, thinking she had been caught peeping, and she quickly turned her eyes away, then unconsciously turned them back, and then turned them away again.

After realizing that she wasn't the one peeping, but rather Li Yan who had been staring at her, she realized that it wasn't her who was peeping, but Li Yan who had been observing her.

Mei Mengqian could no longer hear the accompaniment of the song; her mouth mechanically followed the lyrics, and all she could hear was her own heartbeat.

Why is he looking at me like that? Has he discovered my identity? Did he secretly go to the address? Or is it that he likes...?

She couldn't think straight anymore; her mind went completely blank whenever she tried to think about it.

Li Yan didn't think much of it; he just thought the girl was pleasing to the eye, and then felt that she was a bit too lewd.

He didn't think the other person liked him yet, after all, they had only met a few times.

Even though we saw each other every day in my past life, I never had this absurd feeling.

After finishing one song, Jiang Yingzhu insisted on singing another.

Li Yan sang "The Most Dazzling Ethnic Style" with her, and then they moved on to "Above the Moon," which exhausted Xiao Qingmei.

"You idiot! How can you do this?!"

"Didn't you say it was a chorus?"

"boom!"

Li Yan didn't argue with her. He walked out of the KTV, glanced at the sky, and then looked at Mei Mengqian.

"It's getting dark. Do you want us to take you home? Where do you live?"

"No need, I'll just take a taxi," Mei Mengqian smiled.

"That's fine."

Li Yan abides by the law and never does anything against the wishes of women.

He waved down a taxi and gestured for Mei Mengqian to get in.

After taking a picture of the license plate, the three parted ways.

Turning around, Li Yan looked at Jiang Yingzhu, who was still fuming with her arms crossed, and asked:
"Will you go back and sing it again?"

"No, I'll tell you on QQ that we're leaving." Jiang Yingzhu glanced at him sideways.

"How about we go get some barbecue?"

"Go, go, go!!"

Instantly, Jiang Yingzhu broke down in her act, waving her hand with a beaming smile, "I know a newly opened barbecue restaurant."

······
Back home, Li Yan put away all the books that the convenience store downstairs had collected.

After taking a shower and returning to his room, he didn't immediately consider the feasibility of cultivating immortality through a system.

Instead, he went to the calendar, turned to the next page, and circled the date 7.8.

Later, I went to the table, opened my notebook, fiddled with it for a while, and set a timer for the saved drafts.

Only then did I begin to try cultivation.

Based on the system's descriptions of different techniques, Li Yan chose one that specifically focused on cultivating internal energy.

He didn't pick up the book; he simply chose to have it stored away.

"System, take over the Huang Ting Jing and cultivate for one minute."

The next moment, as expected, the system did not control him to pick up the book, but instead made him sit cross-legged.

Immediately afterwards, Li Yan felt his mind become completely clear, and the mayfly-like consciousness he had felt during previous caregivers also calmed down.

Their breathing was almost silent, yet followed a specific rhythm.
Gradually, he seemed to see the stars in the sky, their light flowing and a special aura arising from nothingness.

Just as this energy was traveling along the celestial light, the system's cold notification sound appeared.

When the after-school care ended, Li Yan opened his eyes, feeling completely dazed, as if he had just woken from a long dream. He raised his hand, clenched his fist, and then looked at himself in the full-length mirror.

Feel nothing.

Li Yan tried to cultivate by sitting cross-legged, but he couldn't enter that state of complete physical and mental stillness, nor could he find that energy.

So I put it in the hosting service again, this time for ten minutes.

The next moment, Li Yan sensed it.

Ten minutes later, he opened his eyes; he seemed to feel something, yet he also seemed not.
He raised his hand, and a wisp of white smoke gradually rose from his palm before disappearing in an instant.

"It turned out to be true!"

Li Yan's gaze sharpened, as if he had discovered a new continent.

Without much hesitation, he immediately chose to have the childcare serviced for eight hours.

So, after a night, when Li Yan opened his eyes, a look of doubt flashed in his eyes.

He cultivated all night and wasn't hungry at all!

What does the system rely on for cultivation? This world actually has spiritual energy.
At that moment, a clear notification sound rang out.

[System upgrade complete. Please check the details yourself.]

Li Yan paused, his initial intention to continue managing the system, and looked at the system panel.

The main hosting area of ​​the panel remains unchanged, except that the word "smart" has been added to the hosting list.

Then a new line of data appeared in the top left corner.

Spiritual energy value: Extremely low
This line of text undoubtedly answered Li Yan's question.

"System, are there cultivators in this world?"

Li Yan asked casually, and to his surprise, the system actually answered.

"Detection in progress, detection complete. Only the host has officially embarked on the path of immortality."

Li Yan: ?
"Then don't you know you've come to the wrong world?"

"."

"answer me!"

The system remained silent, seemingly devoid of any intelligence.

Li Yan rolled his eyes and continued to watch the changes on the panel.

A new task entry has appeared in the side panel; clicking it reveals a new task.

[Upon entering the Immortal Abode, you should strive diligently. Please work hard to enter the Immortal Seed Class. Reward: 5 Spirit Gathering Pills]

Li Yan was taken aback; the system had changed quite a bit.

If they're really giving out rewards, it's probably another free purchase event.

But does this world have supernatural abilities? Is there such a thing that he can buy for free?

Li Yan didn't know, and the system didn't provide an answer either.

He quickly stopped thinking about things he couldn't understand, figuring he could always travel to famous mountains and rivers in the future.

After reading the system update, Li Yan practiced Tai Chi a few times on the spot, and then continued his cultivation.

This technique is a bit special; it allows knowledge of other things to enter the mind.

But once Li Yan started practicing this technique, he knew absolutely nothing about it.

Like sleepwalking!
And it doesn't require any auxiliary equipment.

Within a week, Li Yan was like a child who had received a fun toy, happily immersing himself in cultivation.

Of course, he didn't just rely on others to cultivate the Huangting Sutra.

My planned music theory studies haven't fallen behind, and the new books are being updated steadily.

A week later, Li Yan condensed extremely faint white gas at his fingertips and poked it onto the stool.

In an instant, a hole was punched through the solid wood stool.

Li Yan's eyes showed admiration, a hint of excitement, but not much.

After all, this kind of behavior isn't exactly ethereal.

It was somewhat different from what he had imagined about cultivating immortality.

It was at this moment that he realized that the skills and spells stored in the system seemed to have nothing to do with cultivating immortality.

Even if he has some talent, aside from being a bit strong, he's only good for manual labor.

Does he seem no different from an ordinary person?
They can't even light a fire!
It's like cultivating a fake immortality?!
Therefore, Li Yan plans to try something different today, such as cultivating his divine sense.

With divine consciousness, I should be able to do some interesting things, right?
