How can one become an immortal with such laziness?

[Black Sun: Gibberish, waibibabu.]

[Hongli: Will it really work?]

[Hei Yang: I don't care. I've given you the plan. I'll discipline you, but not punish you; I'll kill you, but not bury you.]

[Hongli: You're really "responsible"!]

[Heiyang: Indeed, I think so too.]

"call--"

Hong Li breathed a sigh of relief, her eyes regaining focus.

"How about it?"

Hongling was eager to try: "Have you thought about what to ask?"

"Um……"

Hong Li said with a serious expression: "Actually, no."

I just went through the entire Qi Refining Method from the first step to the last in my mind, and I found that there weren't any major difficulties.

Even though I have some minor doubts, I already have a plan. My intuition tells me that if I can understand and solve it myself, the results will likely be much better than if you tell me in person.

"Eh?"

Hongling was surprised to see this result after waiting for so long: "Really... there's nothing seriously wrong?"

"Yes, there really isn't!"

Hongli said confidently, "If you don't believe me, you can ask me anything. It doesn't matter if it's a waste of time. Just consider it putting your mind at ease, Master!"

"Oh?"

Hongling looked delighted: "Can I really just mention it?"

"Of course!"

Hongli nodded confidently.

Of course not! You dare mention it and I'll blow it up, you idiot Hei Yang, what kind of lousy ideas are you having...

"Ha, judging from your confident look, you must be very sure of what's going to happen."

Hongling said with relief, "Then there's no need to ask any more questions, so as not to waste everyone's time."

After all, the questioning technique is only meant to deal with those who don't have a firm grasp of the knowledge but pretend to know it. Xiaoli, you'll definitely be fine!

Hei Yang, what kind of brilliant idea did you come up with? I'm absolutely blown away by yours!

Well, it’s decided!

Hongli secretly resolved that she would never curse Heiyang again!

Uh……

Okay, let's add a deadline: don't curse Hei Yang within three minutes!

[Hei Yang: How was it? How was it? Hahaha, you didn't actually do what I said like an idiot, did you? Hahahaha!]

[Heiyang: If you really do that, please tell me so I can have some fun, hahaha!]

[Hei Yang: No, if you did that, the person would probably be dead by now and wouldn't be able to answer my question, hahaha.]

[Hongli: Heiyang, you son of a bitch!]

I've decided to cancel it; three minutes is too long, I can't stand it!

Chapter 36 Passed away peacefully

"Well, in that case..."

Hong Ling's eyebrows relaxed, and she took out pieces of spirit stones from her body, arranging them in a circle around Hong Li.

"One, two, three, four, five, six..."

Hongling hesitated for a moment, but gritted her teeth and pressed the spirit stone onto the floor: "Six!"

"Uh……"

Hongli looked at her side, puzzled, and asked curiously, "Um, Aunt... what are you doing?"

Could it be some kind of mysterious ritual specifically used to detect lies?!

Hong Li instinctively hugged her legs tightly, staring warily at the spirit stones that had surrounded her.

Weak, pitiful, helpless, and lazy!

"call--"

Hongling sighed, feeling a pang of heartache, and said, "Xiao Li, Xiao Li, your aunt has really gone all out for you this time. These are six mid-grade spirit stones!"

Even for us inner disciples, it's heartbreaking. What ordinary master would act like this? But what can we do when you're such a lovable child?

"Ah..."

Hong Li's mind was in a complete mess. She only learned about spirit stones after arriving at the sect. They could not only assist in cultivation, but also serve as a hard currency among cultivators, with a value far exceeding that of ordinary gold and silver.

However, she doesn't even have a single low-grade spirit stone right now, and she can't remove the special spirit stones embedded in the secret chamber...

As a result, Hong Li wasn't quite sure of the exact value of the spirit stone, but seeing Hong Ling's distressed expression, she figured it was probably very precious.

Of course, there is another possibility: my aunt was actually a poor person!

Then the problem is coming.

"So, what are you trying to do?"

Hong Li scratched her head, having just managed to get through the so-called test. Why was there another test?

"Everything is ready, except for that final step!"

Hongling's eyes lit up: "None of the disciples in this batch have entered the Qi Refining stage yet. I think Xiaoli, you can try to get first place. Not only can you directly enter the outer sect, but you will also definitely receive special rewards from the sect!"

"Uh, let's put everything else aside for now..."

Hongli asked in confusion, "Am I not an outer disciple yet?"

"Oh dear, of course not."

Hongling waved her hand: "As everyone knows, only those in the Qi Refining stage can be considered as outer disciples of my Five Elements Sect, that is, true disciples."

As for you newcomers, you are at most in your internship period. The reason we don't allow you to leave the sect is that you are not yet qualified to walk in the world as disciples of the Five Elements Sect.

Of course, safety is also one of the reasons for consideration.

Therefore, if you want to become a true disciple of the Five Elements Sect, hurry up and step into the outer sect!

"Yes, first we'll teach you the Qi Refining Method. If you successfully refine your Qi within two years, you can officially join."

"What if you fail to refine Qi within two years? Will you be expelled from the sect?"

"It's unlikely. Generally, as long as you don't make any fundamental mistakes or violate the sect's rules, the severe punishment of being expelled from the sect will not occur."

Hongling shook her head: "It's just that you'll be temporarily transferred to the status of a nominal disciple. As for the treatment, it's not even as good as the treatment you get during your internship, let alone compared to the outer sect."

Just like this meditation chamber, and your daily food and clothing, aren't we all provided free of charge?

However, if a disciple is a registered disciple and wants to use the sect's equipment or anything else, they will need to pay.

After a pause, Hongling smiled and said, "But if you are promoted to the outer sect, each disciple will have their own courtyard and can live in the mountain gate's residence where spiritual energy is abundant. At the same time, the residence comes with its own cultivation chamber and other facilities, and there are many preferential treatments in terms of food, clothing, housing and transportation."

"Oh ho, that sounds great."

Hong Li blinked her big eyes: "What does that have to do with me? I'm only at the ninth level of Body Tempering!"

"Isn't this giving you a chance to break through?"

Hongling pointed to the spirit stones around Hongli: "I will protect you. You use the Qi Refining Method to draw upon these pure spiritual energies, guide your own Qi to return to the innate state, and achieve the Qi Refining stage."

With your accumulated knowledge and understanding, I feel the time is just right!

"Ah?"

Hongli swallowed hard: "Um, I think I need to prepare a bit more..."

She has absolutely no accumulation of knowledge!

"It's alright, it's just the first step of Qi Refining. Even if you fail, the consequences won't be great, and with me protecting you, there's no chance of failure!"

Hongling waved her hand dismissively.

Who is she? A Foundation Establishment stage expert!

Qi Refining is child's play!

"Really!"

Hongli's eyes lit up: "Is it possible to have many chances to try and fail without any problems?"

"Haha, that's not true."

Hong Ling's words made Hong Li's heart skip a beat: "If someone with no foundation tries to force Qi cultivation, it may cause the accumulated Qi and blood to be lost, and the meridians to be reversed. Not only will they be unable to advance further, but they may also fall in realm."
