How can one become an immortal with such laziness?

Hei Yang's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets in shock: "Although it was intermittent, it was very clear that the other person was struggling and tormenting inside, but... it was definitely cultivation?!"

Something is wrong, very wrong!

Did the timeline secretly reset without his knowledge?

otherwise……

How can we explain the supernatural phenomenon of "Hongli cultivation"?

In Hei Yang's imagination, a hole was punched in Hong Li's head, and inside, a tiny alien was using a joystick to control her through a terrifying cultivation ritual...

"hiss!"

Hei Yang shook his head: "So it was because you read Hong Li's book 'The Rag Doll in the Mass Graveyard' in one go that you're now a bit mentally unstable... that you could even think of such outrageous scenes."

"Well, this is a cultivation world. Alien chimpanzees don't fit the style at all. Even if similar creatures exist, they should be replaced with something like Heart-Eating Demons or Extraterrestrial Demons."

Well, the conclusion is that Hong Li has been possessed by an extraterrestrial demon!

The thought of losing his childhood friend brought a pang of sorrow to Hei Yang's heart, and he couldn't help but shed a few crocodile tears.

[Hei Yang: Xiao Li, don't worry, I will avenge you!]

[Hongli: Huh? What weird scenario have you imagined this time?]

[Hei Yang: Ha! You mere extraterrestrial demons, even if you imitate Hong Li's tone, you can't fool me!]

Hongli: ...

[Hongli:**]

[Black Sun: Oh, so you weren't possessed after all. You should have said so earlier. Crisis averted.]

Hei Yang breathed a sigh of relief. Thank goodness, the extraterrestrial demons should be of higher quality than Hong Li, so the one who was swearing must be Hong Li herself!

[Black Sun: Hehe, since you haven't been possessed or anything, you must have taken the wrong medicine, right?]

[Hei Yang: I told you a long time ago, some medications shouldn't be mixed together for convenience, but you didn't listen. Now look what happened, your brain has been damaged, and treatment will be a real hassle!]

[Hongli: No, can you even speak in a way I can understand?]

[Hei Yang: Oh, it's just that your sudden start to cultivate is too unusual.]

[Heiyang: Have you run into some trouble? Tell me so I can have a laugh.]

Hongli: ...

[Hongli: Couldn't it be that I suddenly repent and want to work hard at cultivation?]

[Black Sun: Joy.]

[Hongli: Okay, I know that's impossible. The specifics are complicated, but I really do urgently want to reach a higher level right now.]

[Hei Yang: What, does your sect issue daily quotas and weekly tasks to its disciples?]

[Hongli: It's not that complicated. I don't want to go into the specifics, because you, you scoundrel, will laugh at me. That's all you need to know.]

[Heiyang: Thank you, I'm already smiling.]

[Hongli: Don't imagine any unfounded scenarios about me, you shameless old scoundrel!]

[Black Sun: Ahem, just to clarify, I'm not old.]

[Hong Li: Bah, stop talking nonsense and come help me cultivate. This is real torture!]

[Hongli: Good brother, please!]

[Hei Yang: Hehe, this time I'm really willing but unable. I'm busy right now and don't have time to help you cultivate.]

[Hongli: Huh? What can you be busy with? Sleeping or eating?]

[Heiyang: Busy packing his luggage.]

[Hongli: You finally got kicked out by your aunt and uncle?!]

[Hei Yang: What nonsense are you talking about? I'm just going on a long trip, not being kicked out of the house, nor am I forced to run away from home because I can't stand it anymore!]

[Hongli: Ha, a guilty explanation!]

[Hongli: So, where are you going on this long trip? Wait, you're not really coming to find me, are you?]

[Hongli: Then you might be disappointed, I can't leave the mountain gate right now.]

[Hei Yang: Go away, go away! I'm not looking for you, I'm going to the Hei family in the capital. To take up my post, in the capital!]

[Hei Yang: Here's what happened, it's all rambling and nonsensical...]

[Hongli: Oh—]

[Hongli: So you're going to stay in the capital for a few days? I thought...you scared me.]

[Hei Yang: Hehe, I sense someone's a little disappointed, hehehe.]

[Hongli: You're mistaken! Hey, you big dummy!]

[Hong Li: Alright, you can climb now. Don't disturb my cultivation!]

……

[Your contract partner (Hong Li) cultivated for one minute and gained no cultivation experience.]

[Hei Yang: "Diligent Study"]

[Hongli: Huh? It feels like several hours have passed! What happened to the saying that cultivation transcends time? How come it's the other way around for me?]

[Black Sun: Time has no power over cultivation, huh?]

[Hong Li: Damn it, I don't believe it!]

……

"I hope everyone is okay."

Hei Yang muttered to himself as he packed his luggage. There wasn't much to bring, mostly just dry food for the journey; he would buy the rest once he arrived in the capital.

"Hissing sound~"

The sound of horses neighing rang out in the courtyard. Hei Yang pushed open the door and went out, only to find that his father had brought three tall, magnificent horses, each full of vigor, with dark, glossy coats.

"Look, aren't these three nice?"

Hei Muguang looked at the two servants beside him, who were dressed in close-fitting clothes and looked capable, and seriously instructed them: "Zhang San, Li Si, you two will accompany Xiao Yang this time."

Please be careful on the road. You are all elders in my family, so there's no need for us to say much more.

"Yes!"*2

The two answered readily, which made Hei Muguang nod in satisfaction.

After giving instructions to the two servants, Hei Muguang turned to look at Hei Yang.

"With these three strong horses, it would take about forty days to get from here to the capital."

If the road conditions are good, it's not impossible to reach the capital in a month.

We'll set off eastward this morning, following the official road until noon, then rest and eat something. By evening, we should see an inn.

After a pause, Hei Muguang said with a serious expression, "Remember, you can only stay in the inns that your third uncle mentioned. Any small or remote inns that were not mentioned by name will be considered black shops!"

"I'd rather sleep in the wilderness than stay in those questionable, problematic inns, understand?"

"It's OK, it's OK."

Hei Yang waved his hand: "I'm already at the Qi Refining stage. I can go without eating, drinking, sleeping or resting all the way without any problems. I can fill my stomach by absorbing some spiritual energy, and I won't have to go through the process of expelling impurities."

You should worry about Zhang San and Li Si more than me.

"Don't worry about that."

Hei Muguang nodded: "They are both experienced veterans and won't hold you back. I'll be grateful if you don't hold them back!"

"And these..."

Qing Yiyi came out of the house, carrying a large bag and stuffing it into Hei Yang's arms. She said with concern, "Look at the little stuff you brought. It definitely won't be enough for the journey. Bringing this package will make it more convenient."

Besides a change of clothes, there are also your favorite snacks to satisfy your cravings on the way.

Also, you definitely have enough money on you, but don't be too ostentatious, lest you attract the attention of those with ulterior motives.

Also, if you encounter robbers…

"I know."

Hei Yang patted the long sword at his waist and laughed, "I'll teach them a lesson they won't return alive!"

"No, I mean..."

Qing Yiyi shook her head: "If you encounter something like this, try to avoid it. If you can't avoid it, then just admit defeat and back down..."

Don't listen to your mother.

Hei Muguang interrupted, his face full of righteousness, "The more cowardly you are, the more arrogant he becomes, and the more he will bully you."

If you stand up for yourself, they'll be afraid of you!

After a pause, Hei Muguang added in a low voice, "Well, if you encounter someone you can beat, use the method I told you to handle it. If you encounter someone you can't beat, listen to your mother, apologize, admit your mistake, and pay some toll..."

"Got it, you bully the weak and fear the strong, huh!"
