How can one become an immortal with such laziness?

"Yes, there are some things, but let's go inside and talk about them first."

Hongling followed Hongli into the secret room, and locked the door again. She paused for a moment when she saw a pile of suspicious items wrapped in a blanket in the corner, the contents of which she did not know.

However, Hong Li, who had been on edge, immediately noticed Hong Ling's gaze. Her heart skipped a beat, and she quickly moved to block the other's view: "Ahaha, that's...that's warm clothing and some dry food."

After all, a sudden epiphany is possible, so we need to be prepared for a long haul!

"So that's it!"

Hongling nodded in satisfaction: "That's really thoughtful of you."

"Ha, not at all."

Hongli waved her hand, changing the subject: "Well, now, Aunt... can you tell me what it is?"

"Ah, of course."

Hongling smiled and said, "Xiaoli, you've been a member of our Five Elements Sect for a while now, so you probably know our sect's style."

We provide cultivation resources and knowledge, and assign masters, but give disciples the maximum amount of free time.

After all, the master can only guide you through the door; the cultivation depends on your own efforts. The master also needs to cultivate diligently and doesn't have much time to teach you normally.

"Ah, that's good, that's pretty good."

Hong Li nodded. She loved this kind of sect; it was incredibly fun to slack off!

"but!"

Hongling's expression turned serious: "Giving freedom does not mean indulging. The sect will still conduct some evaluations to test the disciples' cultivation results."

"Ah, that's fine too."

Hong Li's eyes darted around; this classic part of the sect competition was exactly what she expected!

However, mentioning final exams in front of students who have just started school has absolutely no deterrent effect!

Well, the one who's suffering, anxiously praying to gods and Buddhas, and cramming for the last minute is the future Hong Li. What does that have to do with the current Hong Li?

"Yes, I knew it."

Looking at Hong Li's calm demeanor, Hong Ling nodded in satisfaction: "The test will definitely be the most nerve-wracking torture for those who are opportunistic and lazy."

But for outstanding disciples like Xiao Li, this is an opportunity for you to showcase your talents!

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 35 Do you believe me?!

"Yes, yes, that's right."

Hongli began to hypnotize herself: That's right, I am a hardworking genius, I am a model student...

"So, as your teacher, I've finally taken the time to listen to you talk about the difficulties you encountered during your cultivation."

Hongling smiled slightly: "You must have already comprehended a lot about our sect's Five Elements Qi Refining Method, and you probably have a lot of questions. Now is the time to solve them."

Come on, tell me what's bothering you, and I'll do my best to help you solve it.

Well, for me personally, it's also a good opportunity to test myself and review what I've learned. Don't be afraid, just ask away!

"aunt……"

Looking at Hongling's responsible expression, Hongli's eyes instantly welled up with tears, not from gratitude, but from fear.

She has a ghost problem!

It's like you just flipped through your newly handed-out Chinese textbook, glanced at the illustrations, and then the teacher suddenly asked you if you could recite the classical Chinese texts, asking you to recite them to her so she could correct you!

Seeing Hongling's expectant gaze, Hongli had only one thought in her mind!

Die! Die! Die!

How to do?How to do?

Just come up with any question to get by, and say that people's understanding cannot be generalized?

You have to understand that too!

Your high school teacher asks you if you understand this math problem, and you ask the teacher why three plus two equals five.

What a fuss!

"Well, this..."

Hong Li's expression was grave: "I need some time to sort out my thoughts."

"Yeah, that makes sense."

Hongling smiled gently: "I can wait."

"No, that's not necessary."

Hong Li shuddered, her forced smile stiffening: "Is it really okay to waste so much time on me..."

“Others may not be worthy, but you are, not just because of our kinship, but also because you are an ambitious child.”

Hongling became more and more satisfied with Hongli. She initially accepted Hongli because she saw the pitiful little girl on the airship and thought that since they were family, she should take care of her.

Moreover, as an inner disciple, she herself has a designated quota for accepting disciples, except for a very few exceptionally useless (misleading others) or exceptionally talented (wasting time) inner disciples.

With the mindset that it didn't matter who she took on, Hongling took the initiative to become Hongli's master.

At first, she didn't pay too much attention and just provided the most basic care.

But when she discovered that this little girl spent all her time cultivating in the secret room, and that her cultivation was advancing by leaps and bounds, she immediately realized that she had struck gold!

If I had known that most of the disciples who joined the sect at the same time were still getting used to the environment, or were feeling confused, or even thought that everything would be fine once they joined the sect and started to slack off—only this child had no confusion in her eyes, only an incomparably confident calm. She had a firm goal and quickly got into the zone and worked hard to move forward!

At that moment, Hongling had a thought: I can't let this child be ruined in my hands. If I slack off and delay her or damage her ambition, I will feel guilty for the rest of my life!

Therefore, Hongling was very patient with her apprentice, Hongli!

Hongling: ^▽^

Hongli: (；一_一)

[Hongli: Are you there? I need help urgently!]

[Black Sun: ?]

[Hei Yang: Hurry up and say your last words, I'll write them down for you!]

[Hei Yang: No, tell me the killer's name first, so I know who my enemy is. Don't just drop dead halfway through, leaving everyone feeling awkward and confused!]

[Hongli: What kind of scenarios did you imagine in that split second just now...?]

[Black Sun: Hmm? Weren't you being chased, which is why you asked me for help? Sigh, cultivation really is dangerous. You've only been gone a short time and you're already about to die. Waaah, I'll miss you!]

Hongli: ...

[Hong Li: Am I stupid? If I were really being chased, what use would I be to you? Would you come and save me or something?]

[Black Sun: Well, it's still somewhat useful. For example, I can help you record your last words.]

[Black Sun: For example, if you just hold on a little longer, I'll quickly break through on the spot and let you unleash your full power to turn the tables and kill you.]

[Hongli: No, that's not it. Let's get serious!]

[Hei Yang: Seriously... I was thinking you asked me to tell you the plot before you went to bed last night, what's wrong, is it already dark where you are?]

[Heiyang: So the time difference is this big...]

Hongli: ...

[Hongli: Master asked me if I had encountered any problems during my practice of the Five Elements Qi Refining Method?]

[Black Sun: Isn't this simple? The problem is you haven't even started cultivating yet! Pfft, hahaha!]

[Hongli: Damn, I'll die if I answer like this, I'll definitely die a horrible death!]

[Hei Yang: Like I said, say your last words, and I'll write them down for you.]

[Hongli: Mom and Dad, I will always love you. I hope you won't be sad because of my death... Ugh, what kind of last words are you talking about? I asked you to help me find a way, not to be there for me in my final moments!]

[Hei Yang: Although I synchronized with your Five Elements Qi Refining Method, I haven't actually practiced it. Helping you cheat on exams is beyond my capabilities, so you're still planning to...]

[Hongli: Stop! Don't say "the last one" again!]

[Hongli: Use your brain, will you? Help me think of a way to handle this!]

[Hei Yang: Why don't you just use your brain? Why do you have to come to me for something?]

[Hong Li: Damn, I'm brainless, are you satisfied now!]

[Hei Yang: Oh, this...no, no, it's not that serious.]

[Hei Yang: Ahem, um, do you believe me?]

[Hongli: If I had believed you, I wouldn't be this old.]

[Black Sun: Oh, then why did you ask me?]

[Hongli: We're practically facing death, so we might as well try anything, even if it's a long shot.]

[Hei Yang: Ah, listen to me!]
