How can one become an immortal with such laziness?

"Good grief, are you only reporting the good news and not the bad? This is pure fabrication!"

Hei Yang chuckled: "What, you haven't been updating your fake cultivation level in the letters all this time, have you?"

What level of Foundation Establishment have you reached? Tell me so I can have a laugh.

"Ninth level of Nascent Soul..."

"Uh-huh?"

Hei Yang picked at his ear, his eyes widening: "What? Say it again?"

"Damn it, are you deaf?!"

Hong Li shouted angrily, "Ninth level of Nascent Soul! Did you hear me?!"

"Wow, Sister Hong, you're really good at bragging."

Hei Yang couldn't help but complain, "Why don't you just say you've become the sect master of the Five Elements Sect?"

Hongli: "I've already become one."

Hei Yang: "???"

Hongli: "Later, I stepped down and made way for younger people."

Hei Yang: "???"

Hong Li: "Then, the current plot is that I am serving as the Supreme Elder of the sect, and I am in seclusion, trying to break through my cultivation level..."

Well, I don't know what the next stage after the Nascent Soul realm is yet, so I can only use this explanation to get by!

"Your lie is surprisingly logical!"

"of course."

"Of course you're kidding me!"

Hei Yang couldn't hold back any longer: "You seem quite smug. What, are you afraid your lies will be exposed when you get back, so you're resorting to self-deception?"

"I just couldn't control myself for a moment."

Hongli chuckled awkwardly, "What should I do if they ask me when we get back?"

"My advice is that it's better to have a short, sharp pain than a long, drawn-out one, and telling the truth is worse than anything else."

"No, no, that would be so embarrassing!"

"Are you afraid of losing face in front of your own parents?"

"What if my parents have already told everyone? All the neighbors and relatives will know, and then I'll be so embarrassed!"

"Then don't do it!"

"Huh? So my face is gone just like that?"

"That's right. When I lied, I should have been prepared to die if I got caught."

Hei Yang raised an eyebrow: "However, I do have another idea. Would you like to hear it?"

"Teacher Hei, please explain in detail!"

"It's very simple, just one word: pretend!"

"Wow, you finally got the word count right!"

"Get up, don't interrupt!"

Hei Yang casually retorted, then continued to explain, "Think about it, your parents don't understand any specific realms anyway. They just want to know if you're doing well when they hear your reply."

"In that case, even if you have the mind of a Foundation Establishment cultivator and insist you're a Nascent Soul cultivator, they won't know, right?"

"Wouldn't that be lying to my parents?"

"Didn't you lie to Mom and Dad first?"

"No, no, no, think about it..."

Hongli made a reasonable assumption and speculation: "Lying to our parents like this could cause big problems. For example, one day a powerful figure at the Nascent Soul level might suddenly pass through our hometown..."

Hei Yang: "Hmm..."

Nascent Soul cultivator: I am a Nascent Soul cultivator.

Parents: It's nothing special, my child is the same.

Nascent Soul cultivator: Oh? I must learn from you!

Black Sun, Red Glass: ...

"Hey, what kind of outrageous imagination is this?!"

Hei Yang waved his hand, popping Hong Li's bubble of imagination, and said speechlessly, "No matter how you think about it, the probability of such a thing happening is almost non-existent. A Nascent Soul cultivator passing by, you really dare to dream!"

"If you can be reincarnated, then how come we can both get this savior..."

Hongli retorted, unconvinced, "But my idea isn't entirely impossible, is it?"

Hei Yang: "..."

Hongli: "..."

"Ah———" *2

Both of them let out a groan and collapsed onto the bed, their heads accidentally bumping together, making their headaches even worse.

"I finally figured it out."

Hei Yang sighed.

"Once a lie is told, more lies must be told to cover it up."

Hongli looked helpless: "But the final result..."

"It often turns out to be far from what we initially wanted."

Hei Yang continued, "Just like back then when we didn't want to come to the Five Elements Sect, so we told a bunch of lies."

"But in the end, I was almost swallowed by a tiger in a daze, I got engaged in a daze, and I was captured by the Five Elements Sect in a daze."

Hongli cried out in anguish, "This is too difficult!"

"so……"

The two turned their heads and looked at each other: "It would have been simpler to just tell the truth from the beginning!"

"And what about your face?"

Hei Yang said weakly, "Don't you want it anymore?"

"No more, no more."

Hong Li bluntly stated, "I've done countless embarrassing things already, so one more won't make a difference."

"Too……"

Hei Yang nodded: "Then tell me, I'll write a letter back home and tell my parents what we're thinking, and see how they respond?"

"Tch, what a mama's boy."

Hongli looked disdainful: "Can't you have any opinions of your own?"

"Oh, then you have your own ideas, so you can come up with a solution!"

"Haha, I have experience writing letters, let me help you!"

Hei Yang: "..."

Hongli: "..."

"Then it's decided."

Hei Yang concluded: "And then, are there any other questions?"

"uh-huh."

Hongli asked, "What about the pile of souls that Meng Po entrusted to you? What are you going to do with them?"

"Will bringing it back to my hometown make the house feel gloomy?"

"I haven't even started researching it yet."

Hei Yang thought for a moment: "We can buy a house and use it to deal with those things..."

Uh, this sounds like something troublesome!

"Alright, I won't ask that question anymore. Now, let's move on to the last and most crucial question."

Hong Li said, enunciating each word clearly, "Then should we still cultivate immortality?"

"Ok?"

"At the Foundation Establishment stage, barring any unforeseen circumstances, the lifespan is about three hundred years."

Hongli's eyes were lifeless: "Then, we will all grow old and die one by one. Before that, Mom and Dad will also leave first..."

"..."

Hei Yang fell silent: "Three hundred years, too short..."
