Are you really trying to cultivate immortality? Something feels off.

"He's a medicine cultivator?" Xie Weixing was surprised.

"No, I'm the one who cultivates medicine," Shen Chunri explained. "Xiao Tan is a sword cultivator."

"Then why did he go and study alchemy?"

"Oh, this," Shen Chunri put down the medicinal herbs in his hand, patting the dust off his palms. "It's like this, our Feng Hua Sect advocates education for all. Unlike other major sects, such as the Dao Wen Sect which only accepts sword cultivators, the Flower Goddess Sect which only accepts female disciples, and the Azure Water Sect which only accepts water and ice spiritual roots..."

Xie Weixing raised an eyebrow: "Is there such a thing?"

"Yeah, do you think other sects are as unpretentious as we are?" Shen Chunri sat down and poured himself a cup of tea. "It's just those old men with their personal disciples who are the most pretentious... Are they really that strong? I didn't think so."

Xie Weixing sat there awkwardly chuckling, then silently moved away from her.

The little girl speaks without thinking. If someone hears her, she can run away, but he can't. What should he do?

"Back then, the Tianxuan Sect, the Xiaoyao Sect, and other sects big and small were all vying for me," Shen Chunri tossed his hair, starting to show off, "Why did I choose the Fenghua Sect?"

Xie Weixing, a very attentive listener, immediately chimed in, "Why?"

"Because when a bunch of old men came to my house, all they kept saying was that I should study alchemy properly, otherwise it would be a waste of the Shen family's talent. So my master gave me a piece of candy and asked me what I wanted to learn. If he didn't know it, he wouldn't accept me as a student."

Xie Weixing's eyes lit up: "Wow!"

Shen Chunri was very satisfied with his cooperative manner: "That's why I came. Everyone knows that our Master Yu is the number one medicine cultivator in the cultivation world."

He looked so proud.

Xie Weixing nodded repeatedly: "No wonder, the first time I met you, I felt that your sect was really down-to-earth."

"Feng Hua Sect advocates a free-range approach, without the strict rules of other sects. Therefore, most disciples are unrestrained and can learn whatever they want. They can even cultivate both swordsmanship and medicine, as long as they are willing," Shen Chunri put down her teacup, her eyes bright, her girlish appearance innocent and lovely. "The sect's supreme rule, the top rule, is that a gentleman follows his heart and has no intention of staying long. You can stay in Feng Hua Sect if you want, and you can leave after you finish your lessons."

[Wow, this is amazing! I've never seen a sect with this kind of setup before.]

[The ensemble cast is so overpowering, it's making me dizzy]

[Good heavens, no wonder the two leaders of Feng Hua Sect are so powerful but only rank at the bottom of the five major sects. It turns out they don't care about their disciples' cultivation at all and do whatever they want.]

[The reason why the Dao Seeking Sect ranks first among the five major sects is because it only accepts sword cultivators, and its training is extremely rigorous. Of course, all of them are sword cultivators, so their strength is formidable.]

[No wonder……]

[Such a good sect, but the thought of them all dying in the end... it makes me uncomfortable, it makes me uncomfortable, it makes me uncomfortable]

Xie Weixing raised an eyebrow: "That's interesting."

"Oh, of course," Shen Chunri said. "Secret techniques of the sect cannot be passed on to outsiders, nor can they be used to attack fellow members of the sect, or you'll be dead."

Xie Weixing expressed his understanding and exclaimed, "This is the first time I've seen such a unique sect."

Shen Chunri was too young to play with her senior sister, and her master would chase after her and beat her every day. Her senior uncle's place was where classes were held, and no normal person would go to the teacher's place to rest. Although Tan Suiting was about the same age as her, he was aloof and kept people at arm's length. He spent his days cultivating and didn't pay much attention to people.

She's always been a free spirit, and she was almost suffocating in the inner circle. Now she's finally met her perfect friend—

Xie Weixing!

The two chatted away for an entire afternoon, like kindred spirits meeting in a dreary place.

They talked about how pretentious the sword cultivators of the Dao Asking Sect were, how beautiful the girls of the Flower Goddess Sect were, whether touching Tan Suiting's dragon horns or touching Senior Sister Nie's phoenix scales would have been worse, and whether Feng Jilan would beat them both to death if they went down the mountain for a stroll now.

Go down the mountain?

The two exchanged glances.

"How's your lightness skill?"

Xie Weixing thought for a second and answered firmly, "I can still save my life."

Shen Chunri squinted: "Are you leaving or not?"

Xie Weixing said without hesitation: "Those who are afraid of death are not members of the Fenghua Sect."

Shen Chunri made the decision: "Let's go."

A kindred spirit finds a kindred spirit amidst the low mountains and foul waters; twin stars shine amidst the barren mountains and treacherous waters.

*

Let alone direct disciples, even inner disciples who want to go down the mountain must apply to the Discipline Department and report their departure time and destination.

In fact, Feng Hua Sect is not very strict, and most of the leave slips submitted by disciples are approved.

However, Feng Jilan will not release individuals like Shen Chunri, who is not yet a prospective disciple in the sect's selection process, or Xie Weixing, a little monster whose talent alone could destroy the world.

Firstly, it was to prevent other sects from intercepting them. But most importantly, they possessed too many talents and spiritual treasures that could be coveted, yet they were still young and their cultivation was shallow, making it impossible for them to do their best to protect themselves.

Leaving the sect rashly could very well lead to death.

But Shen Chunri, who had been cooped up for too long, and Xie Weixing, who was born to be adventurous, didn't care about any of that.

The two went for a stroll in the city closest to the sect.

The streets are filled with everything: food, drinks, weapons, elixirs, and talismans.

A very basic spirit-stabilizing talisman costs a whopping 10 mid-grade spirit stones, equivalent to 10 taels of silver.

How is this any different from robbery?

"The Feng Hua Sect has no talisman cultivators?"

"Yes, we have both outer and inner disciples," Shen Chunri replied, glancing around. "But I don't think we have any personal disciples. What? You want to pursue talisman cultivation?"

"I want to," Xie Weixing replied without hesitation. "But isn't Fu Xiu handsome enough?"

"Indeed, the most handsome are always the sword cultivators and weapon cultivators." Shen Chunri crossed his arms. "But talisman cultivators are rich! Like our Master Yu, who cultivates both medicine and talismans. If someone asks him to draw a talisman, he'll offer it up with both hands and won't pass on his cultivation techniques... He lives a very comfortable life."

Xie Weixing suddenly realized, "Oh, I see."

"I'm not exaggerating, but Master really has the idea of ​​taking you as his personal disciple." Shen Chunri was picking out some trinkets from the street. "The sect selection is held every three years. Since Master took over, it has been more than twenty years. Our Feng Hua Sect only took Senior Sister Nie as a personal disciple in the last selection. This time, it's decided that it's me and Xiao Tan. Now, we'll add you."

"At most, there are four. Other sects recruit personal disciples, and they want to gather seven, eight, nine or ten together."

Xie Weixing chuckled.

In fact, he had no intention of joining the Feng Hua Sect.

Such a large sect is too conspicuous and makes it easy for the main characters to run into each other.

It's not that I'm afraid.

Throughout the main storyline, Su Boyu's strength has never been particularly high; she plays a support role within the team, characterized by her soft and gentle nature. Xie Weixing felt he could easily defeat her with one hand.

But he had many powerful backers.

The original book gives the main characters' group—that is, Su Boyu's sycophant squad—a lot of cheat codes, as if they are afraid that they are not powerful enough to protect the heartthrob.

Who wants to fight a cheater whose USB drives are full of plugs?

It's like practicing shooting at the shooting range day and night, only to find that all five opponents in the game have headshot lock, invincibility, and wallhacks.

Then just give it to them directly. Just start the game and declare them the winner.

It's really upsetting and makes me feel terrible.
