Chapter 444 Human Cultivators...
Jiang Liqian paused for a moment, then lowered her head.
A box of medicine lay quietly in her arms.
It turns out that what happened just now... wasn't her dream.
-
Do immortals really exist in this world?
Have you seen him? Or has he?
Shui Lian'er and Qin Beiyao said that they were being surrounded by a group of beautiful, jade-like immortals, sitting around a jade table. They were being served wine, laid out a feast, played string and wind instruments, and sung and danced, warmly inviting them to taste the fine wine and delicacies.
Shui Lian'er, usually so lively, froze, not daring to move. Qin Beiyao frowned slightly, unsure of what to do.
The reason he was unsure was not because the immortals here were fake; he could sense the faint spiritual energy emanating from them.
But it was precisely because it was true that he felt uncertain.
It's said that there are immortals living in palaces on overseas fairy mountains, and it turns out to be true!
But shouldn't those who have attained immortality fly away from this world? Why are they still here? And why are they being treated so warmly?
They were just two minor Golden Core cultivators.
"Young fellow Daoists, is it because you don't like the food?" A fairy with arched eyebrows and a gentle smile floated in front of them.
Seeing that someone was finally speaking to them, Qin Beiyao was about to open his mouth when Shui Lian'er beat him to it, hurriedly waving her hands: "No, no, fairy sister, these things are all delicious, I...we just didn't know that you...you..."
The fairy covered her mouth, smiled gently, and her soft, graceful skirt slowly bloomed into a hibiscus flower in the air.
"We are innate spiritual beings born from the spirits of flowers and plants on the immortal mountain. By chance, we received guidance from the Heavenly Dao and achieved immortal spiritual bodies. We sleep and live with the immortal mountain. This time, guided by the Heavenly Dao, we have come here to receive our two distinguished guests. You two need not be alarmed."
They were actually flower and plant spirits. No wonder their behavior, though ethereal, always carried a sense of carefree detachment from worldly affairs.
But why would Heaven specifically guide these fairies to entertain them?
Qin Beiyao harbored doubts, but Shui Lian'er was already happily enjoying her food, chatting and laughing with the fairies, wishing she could sing and dance with them as well.
Seeing his easygoing and carefree nature put him at ease, and he couldn't help but laugh out loud, casting aside any doubts he might have had.
It seems that as long as he is by her side, he will never lack joy, making people unable to help but fall deeper and deeper into her charm.
Suddenly, two soft, sweet hands grasped his, and Shui Lian'er appeared before him without his noticing. Her large eyes shone with the purest, most dazzling light: "Bei Yao, good Bei Yao, let's dance, will you dance with me?"
After saying that, she leaned close to his ear and whispered, "The fairy sister said that after they've entertained us, they'll send us down the mountain, and then we can go find Li Qian and the others!"
Qin Beiyao's face immediately turned bright red, and he hesitated, not daring to agree to her request at all.
He...he can't dance...
If Lian'er were to dislike him because of this, wouldn't he be losing both his wife and his army?
Unexpectedly, Shui Lian'er saw his predicament at a glance and pulled him to the center of the palace with a forceful wrist.
She leaned close to his ear again, teasingly saying with a smile, "Don't worry, your fairy sister will teach you, and I guarantee I'll make you the best in the world."
Qin Beiyao was completely captivated by her smile, unaware of what he was doing.
The young master of the Qin family, a first-class aristocratic family and the personal disciple of Fu Feng of the Tianqian Sect, was bewitched by a girl in public. He stumbled and danced awkwardly and comically, yet he was completely absorbed in it.
Especially in the girl's happy smile.
"Hehehe... Beiyao, you're so clumsy, you jumped the wrong way again!"
"Here, here, you have to put your hands on my waist... Yes, that's right, this close..."
"Look into my eyes... What's wrong, are you shy? I know I'm beautiful, it's understandable that you're embarrassed to look, but I'm granting you permission to look freely. Come on, look into my eyes..."
"Bei Yao, I'll tell you a secret after we return to our sect."
Finally, the banquet came to an end. The fairy sister clapped her hands, and two immortals carried up a small table from the depths of the palace. On the table were two octagonal gold boxes, which were carved with intricate and exquisite patterns and inlaid with many gems that Shui Lian'er and Qin Beiyao had never seen before.
The fairy raised her hand, gesturing for them to come forward.
Shui Lian'er and Qin Beiyao exchanged a glance and walked to the low table.
"Open it and see, this is a gift for you."
Gift?
Shui Lian'er and Qin Beiyao opened the gold box on the low table as instructed.
Two crystal-clear pills, resembling seven-colored glass, were quietly placed in a golden box.
"Fairy sister, what is this?"
The fairy smiled and said, "These two elixirs are the legendary 'elixirs of immortality' you all know. After taking them, you can become an immortal like us, live on the immortal mountain, and be immortal and indestructible."
"You no longer need to undergo the nine tribulations of lightning and a thousand hardships like others, and cultivate bitterly in order to seize a sliver of heavenly opportunity. This is an immense opportunity, so eat quickly."
Shui Lian'er and Qin Beiyao both showed shocked expressions. They looked at the pills in the golden box and then at the smiling fairy. They never expected that the legend of the "elixir of immortality" was actually true!
Moreover, as long as they consume this "elixir of immortality," they can easily become immortals!
What a temptation! Who wouldn't be tempted?
Shui Lian'er and Qin Beiyao were naturally very tempted as well.
Becoming an immortal is the dream of everyone in the cultivation world, a dream they pursue throughout their lives! Such an incredible opportunity is right in front of them. If they take advantage of it, they can step onto the gate to immortality, which is not even visible yet.
But in the end, Shui Lian'er gave up.
Qin Beiyao also gave up.
"Fairy sisters, thank you for the gifts you prepared for us, but we cannot accept them, nor do we need them," Shui Lian'er said firmly.
Qin Beiyao also spoke up: "My master often warned me that to become an immortal, one must first attain the Dao. I believe there is a way to ascend to heaven in one step, but in that case I would lose my original Dao. An immortal without a Dao heart cannot be called an immortal, and will eventually go astray."
"Yes, my mother also told me that only by upholding the Dao can one have a broad path to immortality. If one only wants to become an immortal, then one will become an immortal, not a true immortal, but a demon."
A long sigh escaped from the fairy's lips. The smile in her eyes vanished, replaced by a look of pity and emotion.
"Human cultivation..."
"That's why Heaven favors you so much..."
The scene before her suddenly changed rapidly. Startled, Shui Lian'er stumbled backward and bumped into a warm embrace. Qin Beiyao whispered to her, "Don't be afraid, I'm here."
