Chapter 6

Looking at Xiao Jixiang, who had entered the state of enlightenment, Su Fan actually felt a hint of envy. WatermarkGG test WatermarkGG test

Being able to cultivate normally is really great.

“Gurgle...”

A wave of hunger came, and Su Fan patted his stomach.

After being in seclusion for so long, he had almost forgotten what hunger felt like. Xiao Jixiang had just entered the state of enlightenment and wouldn't wake up for a while. He might as well go find something to eat first.

After all, Xiao Jixiang was still an ordinary person and couldn't yet practice abstaining from food.

Indeed.

Teaching is such a hassle.

After leaving the courtyard, Su Fan walked down the mountain. He had been sensing the area behind the courtyard, and if anything approached, he would return immediately.

At the entrance to the back mountain, several disciples were guarding, their eyes sharp, even carefully inspecting every mosquito.

“Snap!”

A crisp sound of a branch breaking came from behind the disciples, making them all jump in surprise and turn to look.

“Who’s there?”

Su Fan slowly walked over, his eyes calmly sweeping over them.

The disciples were stunned when they saw Su Fan.

An immortal? An immortal has descended?

A female disciple stared at Su Fan's face, her usual fierce demeanor completely gone. She tucked her hair behind her ear, blushing.

“I have been in seclusion on the back mountain of Huatian Sect. I just came out today. Do you know where I can find something to eat?” Su Fan asked softly.

The disciples immediately reacted.

They had heard that a senior from the back mountain of Huatian Sect had come out of seclusion.

But they didn't expect this senior to be so different from what they imagined.

The other male disciples were still doubting themselves, but the female disciple spoke up first: “Senior, I know.”

“Where is it?” Su Fan asked.

“Senior, the place is a bit remote. Let me lead you there,” the female disciple said with a smile.

“Alright.”

Su Fan didn’t think much of it. Although the current disciples weren’t great, they were quite enthusiastic.

These young ones can be taught.

As he spoke, the female disciple made a gesture inviting him to follow her.

Su Fan was a bit puzzled but didn’t think much of it and followed the female disciple.

On the way to the front courtyard, Su Fan kept looking around. The scenery on the main peak was indeed beautiful, and the spiritual energy was more abundant than on the back mountain, making it quite suitable for new disciples to cultivate.

The female disciple led the way, but she was both nervous and happy. This was the first time she had seen such a handsome person; he was like an immortal descended to earth.

After so many years at Huatian Sect, she was tired of her fellow disciples. How could she let such a wonderful person slip away?

After a short walk, Su Fan was led to the disciples' residence. This courtyard was where the female disciples lived, and the floral scent was very noticeable even from a distance.

Su Fan suddenly stopped and asked, “Are you sure this is where I can eat?”

“Senior, please rest assured. I often cook for myself. I’ll make you some noodles,” the female disciple said with a shy smile, then led Su Fan into her room.

This was the first time Su Fan had entered a woman’s room. It was clean, but the floral scent was overwhelming.

The female disciple led Su Fan to the table and said softly, “Please wait a moment. I’ll prepare something for you.”

“Thank you!” Su Fan said gratefully.

But the female disciple didn’t cook. Instead, she walked to the bed, sat down shyly, and slowly pulled up the curtains.

“Whoosh—”

The next moment, a pink shirt was thrown out, landing right in front of Su Fan.

Su Fan’s brow

furrowed, sensing something was wrong. As more clothes were thrown out, and finally a red肚兜 (a type of traditional Chinese undergarment) flew out, he realized something was seriously off.

This wasn’t about eating; it was about eating him!

Su Fan immediately stood up, his face cold, and quickly left the room.

The wind was tight, and he had to get out of there fast.

People are no longer as they used to be. I trusted you, and you wanted to take advantage of me.

After leaving the disciples' residence, Su Fan asked a few passing male disciples for directions and found the dining hall. He had the food prepared in a box and then headed back to the back mountain.

At this moment, news of an immortal descending to Huatian Sect began to spread...

In the courtyard, Xiao Jixiang had just woken up from enlightenment, looking around in confusion.

What just happened?

Why do I feel like there’s a lot more in my head? Is this part of the immortal’s cultivation process?

Su Fan, sensing that Xiao Jixiang had woken up, turned and said, “Xiao Jixiang, come and eat. You can’t just focus on cultivation; you need to balance work and rest.”

“Yes, Uncle!”

Xiao Jixiang responded, got up, patted the dirt off her bottom, and ran over.

Looking at the dishes already on the table, Xiao Jixiang swallowed hard. The dishes were not only beautifully presented but also smelled incredibly inviting.

Su Fan sat at the stone table and put a lot of food on Xiao Jixiang’s plate.

“Eat more vegetables; that’s how you grow,” Su Fan said earnestly, then put a piece of meat on his own plate.

“Why are you eating meat?” Xiao Jixiang stared at Su Fan.

Su Fan looked at his chopsticks and said earnestly, “Uncle doesn’t need to grow anymore.”

“But my mother told me that eating meat helps you grow faster,” Xiao Jixiang said.

Su Fan suddenly found the meat in front of him less appealing. How did kids these days get so smart?

Su Fan said, “If you want to eat meat, just say so.”

“Okay, Uncle!” Xiao Jixiang immediately picked up her chopsticks and started eating meat.

Before long, the meat was gone.

Xiao Jixiang’s mouth was full of oil, but she didn’t stop eating. She even kept putting food on Su Fan’s plate.

“Uncle, can I fly and teleport now?”

Su Fan: ???

Hey, this kid is not only unique but also has some wild ideas.

I can’t even fly and teleport!

“No!”

“When can I fly?”

“Cultivators at the realm of Qi Condensation can walk on air or use flying magical artifacts.”

“Oh.”

Xiao Jixiang lowered her head, her mind completely on flying and teleporting, especially after seeing Zhang Shanfeng fly, which made her very envious.

“Uncle...”

“Eat first, and then we can talk!” Su Fan said sternly.

This kid talks too much; she can’t even eat properly. She’s definitely a hassle.

Hearing this, Xiao Jixiang ate even faster, finishing her meal in a few bites and then clearing the table.

“Don’t rush when eating; take your time and chew slowly,” Su Fan said.

Xiao Jixiang weakly said, “Oh,” and then looked around and asked, “Uncle, I heard from the sect leader that cultivators will eventually ascend to the immortal realm and live forever. Is that true?”

“It’s true.” Su Fan cleaned the table and put the dishes in the food box.

“Do you know what the immortal realm is like? Is it full of stars? My mother said immortals live on the stars.”

This question stumped Su Fan.

He hadn’t ascended to the immortal realm, so how could he know what it was like?

But the immortal

(To be continued, please turn the page)

realm should be better than the current cultivation world, and he wondered why the spiritual energy had broken.

“You’ll know in the future. Focus on your cultivation for now,” Su Fan said slowly.

Xiao Jixiang blinked, her face turning red, and said softly, “Uncle, I remember the cultivation method you gave me, but when I try to use it, it feels like something is blocking me.”

Something is blocking you?

A bottleneck?

Su Fan’s eyelids twitched, and he felt a bit disoriented.

You just reached the first level of Qi Condensation, and you’re already facing a bottleneck?

It looks like you’re about to break through to the second level?

He had also cultivated the “Huatian Great Yellow Court Heart Technique,” but it had no effect on him. Why did it have this effect on her?

How do you break through a bottleneck?

“Come, I’ll teach you how to punch,” Su Fan said solemnly. “When you go out to train, you’ll need to be able to defend yourself against demons and evil spirits.”

Xiao Jixiang asked, “Why do I need to go out?”

Su Fan: ...

At such a young age, she’s already so cautious. This won’t do.

“Don’t you want to go back and see your family?” Su Fan frowned.

Hearing that going down the mountain would allow her to see her family, Xiao Jixiang quickly stood to the side.

She had been away for so long and wondered how her mother was doing and if the vegetables she planted had been sold...

“To punch, you need to use strength. The strongest force is the Dragon-Elephant Force. Watch carefully!”

Su Fan raised his left hand and moved it in the air, forming a dragon shape.

“Your left hand forms a dragon shape, gathering strength.”

Then he raised his right hand and moved it in a curve, like an elephant’s trunk.

“Your right hand forms an elephant shape, complementing the left hand’s strength, allowing you to fully utilize the strength in both arms.”

Xiao Jixiang watched dumbfounded, her eyes full of questions.

Is this really about gathering strength?

It looks like he’s just moving his hands around, and his right hand looks like a rainbow.

Left hand dragon, right hand rainbow?

Su Fan calmly retracted his fists and said, “Practice the movements first, and don’t rush.”

“Yes!”

Xiao Jixiang responded, mimicking the movements, using a lot of strength, and her face turning red.

But her movements were clearly ineffective, and she didn’t get any reaction after moving for a while.

“Don’t rush; breaking through a bottleneck isn’t easy...”

Before Su Fan could finish, he heard a sound of a lock breaking from inside Xiao Jixiang’s body, and the thin spiritual energy around her gathered, surrounding her.

Su Fan: ...

No way, this is possible?

When did breaking through the Qi Condensation stage become so easy?

Su Fan watched Xiao Jixiang break through and felt a bit uncomfortable.

How can there be such a big difference between people?

At this moment, he felt a sense of crisis. If... if Xiao Jixiang surpasses him, wouldn’t he lose face as her uncle?

Go down the mountain!

He must go down the mountain to find something to help him transcend the tribulation, or he would be humiliated by his niece.

“Practice the second level of Qi Condensation on your own. I need to talk to the sect leader. Remember, don’t rush. The Qi Condensation stage is about building a solid foundation. Focus on strengthening your basics.”

Su Fan said sternly, turned, and left.

This time out of seclusion, he must transcend the tribulation. The twelfth level of Qi Condensation is the last level before Foundation Establishment.

Su Fan felt that at the Foundation Establishment stage, he wouldn’t need to transcend the tribulation anymore.
