Chapter 56: Chapter 56: The Internet Speed of the Blue Bird (Please Follow!!) -1At noon, sunlight slanted through the treetops, bathing the forest path in a dazzling golden glow. The mountain was covered with ancient pines, so lush and green they resembled splendid canopies. Occasionally, a solitary bird would take flight, soaring into the clouds, its long cry echoing across the mortal realm. Outside the White Jade Mountain Gate of the Sword Sect, several outer disciples yawned, bored. They watched the departing master and disciple with listless eyes, chatting sporadically. "Ah! I wonder if I’ll ever have the chance to be someone like Fifth Elder in this lifetime! Yesterday, I steeled my heart and already cut mine off." "Stop dreaming. Who is Fifth Elder? He’s a man with no women in his heart! That alone is something we can’t manage... What the heck? What did you cut off?" "..." The disciple abruptly looked up at the other, an incredulous expression on his face. He was about to speak when a sudden chill ran through his body. Instinctively, he turned his head and saw a face as cold as frost. She was draped in a black and white Crane Cloak, her three thousand strands of white hair fluttering in the wind. Her skin was like snow, gleaming with a faint luster under the sun. Her slender, jade-like legs swayed gently, and she exuded an otherworldly, icy aura. The two disciples didn’t dare to look any longer. They quickly bowed their heads and said carefully, "Greetings, Ninth Elder!" "Ninth Elder, are you leaving the Sect?" Dan Wulan’s gaze was fixed on the retreating Su Bei. She hummed a disinterested response and vanished instantly. Watching Dan Wulan disappear, the two disciples felt the oppressive atmosphere lift immediately. They breathed a sigh of relief and muttered, "Ninth Elder is so intimidating!" "Yeah, who could possibly be worthy of an Immortal like Ninth Elder?" "Say, doesn’t that cloak look awfully familiar?" "It does seem a bit... So, when *did* you cut yours off?!" "..." 「...」 Su Bei led Xiao Ruoching towards Mo City. Truthfully, with Su Bei’s Divinity Transformation cultivation, a thousand miles was but a short journey. However, Su Bei was intent on toughening up his prodigal disciple. After all, a child of destiny like her is supposed to trigger special, unlucky scenarios wherever she goes! Crossing mountains should mean encountering bandits; wading through rivers, pirates. Even buying something should lead to run-ins with clueless cannon fodder NPCs... However, to Su Bei’s bewilderment, their journey was exceedingly peaceful. It was so peaceful it made Su Bei uncomfortable. I didn’t even get a single chance to show off and put someone in their place, he thought. Everyone they met greeted them with warm smiles, some even tossing them elixirs. How strange is this? Su Bei wondered. In broad daylight, with public morals so clearly in decline, why was everyone so kind? It certainly hadn’t been like this when he first brought Xiao Ruoching to the Sword Sect. Over the past few days, under Su Bei’s strict supervision, Xiao Ruoching had been practicing her cultivation techniques relentlessly. Su Bei, for his part, generously supplied her with all sorts of elixirs from his collection, showering Xiao Ruoching with them. Wearing an expression of benevolent guidance befitting a master, Su Bei looked at his precious ’cheat’ of a disciple and said, "My dear disciple, Master still has about three hundred Qi Refining Pills. Eat them like candy whenever you feel like it! If you run out, Master will get you more." "Oh! This golden pill is called a Qi Gathering Pill; it can help you circulate Spiritual Energy faster and accelerate your cultivation!" "Hmm, this pill is called the Six-Flavor Rehmannia Pill... Oh, you can’t eat this one." "..." Su Bei cleared his throat and, under Xiao Ruoching’s puzzled gaze, solemnly placed the Six-Flavor Rehmannia Pill back into his storage ring. Xiao Ruoching accepted the various elixirs Su Bei handed her with a complex expression. She recognized these elixirs... all except for the Six-Flavor Rehmannia Pill. For an ordinary cultivator, consuming even one of these was a luxury. Most cultivators, especially those in the Qi Refining Realm like herself, usually relied on absorbing nature’s spiritual energy for their daily cultivation. These Qi Refining Pills, containing the purest spiritual energy between heaven and earth, were incredibly precious to cultivators! Su Bei just gave them to me like that? I understand him less and less... To be fair, in this life, he hasn’t done a single thing to make me hate him! He’s even been incredibly tolerant, pampering me, letting me throw tantrums? As a master, he’s probably done the utmost. He would smile at her, and occasionally try to scare her. Sometimes, Xiao Ruoching even entertained a terrifying thought: Could everything from my past life have just been a dream? Is the Su Bei of today, this world, the reality!? Yet the pain in her chest vehemently denied all of it! Xiao Ruoching, her eyes filled with an indescribable, hazy confusion, thus consumed all sorts of ’candy beans’—the pills—throughout their journey. Drawing on her past life’s experience, in a mere two or three days, she reached the pinnacle of the Qi Refining Stage! She was only a step away from Foundation Establishment! This cultivation speed made Su Bei’s eyes shine, eagerly anticipating the boost to his own cultivation. It’s like watching a download from that little blue bird app, he mused. My own cultivation progress feels like that crawling internet speed, getting slower and slower! "Feedback: 6,500 times~" "Feedback: 42 times~" "Feedback: 0.5 times~" "Feedback: 2 times~" "..." Su Bei’s face was etched with frustration. Just a strong burst at the beginning? Does the system throttle you too? Is it trying to force me to buy a membership?! And after I buy it, will it claim there’s an ’abnormal data’ issue preventing acceleration? Pah! 「...」 Mo City. The name alone evoked a sense of poetic charm. After a long journey leading Xiao Ruoching, Su Bei finally caught sight of the towering city gates. The cold wind whipped the flags on the city walls, making them snap loudly. The snowfall here was much heavier than at the Sword Sect. Gazing at the bustling crowd, Su Bei looked towards Mo City with a wistful expression, his hands clasped behind his back. He murmured, "Ah, Mo City." "I’m afraid it’s been nearly a month since I was last here..." "The last time I came was... well, the last time." Su Bei turned to look at Xiao Ruoching, who had been quiet and listless throughout the journey. Snowflakes danced down in a flurry. Xiao Ruoching, a faint, almost imperceptible smile on her lips, gazed, mesmerized, at the swirling snow. She stretched out a delicate, pale hand, catching the snowflakes drifting down from the sky. They slipped through the gaps between her fingers, falling to the ground and melting into droplets of water. As if sensing Su Bei’s gaze, Xiao Ruoching let her faint smile vanish. Lowering her eyes, she asked softly, "Master, have we arrived?" Su Bei felt his heart inexplicably skip a beat, then it began to THUMP, THUMP, THUMP, racing wildly. This disciple of mine is becoming criminally captivating! Setting aside her status as my disciple... is there, perhaps, a possibility of *that* possibility? Su Bei cleared his throat, a smile in his eyes as he said, "Yes, we’ve arrived." "Let’s enter the city!" PS: I recommend a wuxia harem novel to everyone, *This End of the Ming Dynasty is Outrageous*. Huang Rong, Luo Bingning, Ning Zhongze! Qing Luo, Yu Yan, Xiao Longnü! Not much else to say, but please buckle up!
