Luo Li answered satisfactorily, passing the test! Fairy Su continued to ask questions!
“Luo Lan!” “Luo Feng!” “Luo Ming!”
After the questioning ended, Fairy Su nodded and said:
“Good, let's prepare to leave!”
Upon hearing this, everyone was stunned. In the past, the old ancestors who returned would stay for ten to fifteen days before leaving. Luo Xin and the others were not prepared to leave immediately!
Luo Xin, who had always been treated like a princess in the clan and held in high hopes, could not help but ask:
“Grandma, in the past, didn't you stay for a few days before leaving?”
Upon hearing this, Fairy Su turned around and slapped her. With a crisp sound, Luo Xin's left cheek turned red.
Fairy Su was not like the Luo family's patriarch, Luo Tianlong, who liked children who dared to speak and act. If they dared to talk back to her, they would be hit!
Luo Xin had always thought of herself as a favored daughter, and had never been hit by anyone before. She was completely stunned, sobbing softly, with tears streaming down her face.
Fairy Su looked at her with disgust and said coldly:
“Hold it in, no crying!”
At her words, Luo Xin covered her mouth and dared not cry anymore.
Fairy Su looked at Luo Xin, then at Luo Li and the others, and said coldly:
“Let me teach you the first rule of the cultivation world: respect your seniors. Before you have strength, whatever they say is what it is, and whatever they tell you to do, you must do.
Without strength, you are worse than an ant. Don't talk back, or you won't even know how you die!”
Then she said to Luo Xin:
“If you can't bear it, don't come with me. Stay in this place without spiritual energy and live a good life. It might not be a bad thing for you.
Let me tell you, the cultivation world is not heaven. It is an extremely cruel world, where the strong prey on the weak. Sheep will only be eaten by wolves!”
After saying this, she climbed onto a high platform, stretched out her hand, and a drop of water appeared in her hand. The water drop fell and instantly turned into a flying car. She then stepped into the flying car!
The others had not yet reacted, but Luo Li was the first to rush over. He had been waiting for this moment for too long, rushing towards the flying car.
This flying car had no doors, just a large water droplet. Luo Li did not hesitate to crash into the water droplet, and in an instant, it was as if he had entered the water. Luo Li entered a space.
This space was shaped like a gourd, divided into two areas, one large and one small. The walls were made of silver-white metal, with no other colors. There were no lights, but the room was extremely bright.
The smaller space in front was about ten feet square, with four seats arranged in a row. Fairy Su sat on the far right.
The larger space behind was about thirty feet square, with six rows of seats, each row seating five people. Luo Li, controlling his inner joy, immediately sat in the first row, not moving!
Fairy Su looked at Luo Li, who was the first to enter, and her eyes sparkled. Then she smiled. Just now, she had hit Luo Xin not because of her backtalk, but because of the abnormality in the Heart Inquiry.
Although Luo Li had passed the Heart Inquiry test, the time he spent reflecting on his heart was too long, which was definitely not a normal reaction for a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy.
Fairy Su vaguely sensed something was wrong, but she couldn't put her finger on it. She was from the Heart Skill lineage of the Spirit Butterfly Sect, which emphasized intuition and premonition. So, she was troubled, and Luo Xin's backtalk led to the slap.
Now, seeing Luo Li rush in first, she suddenly realized where the problem lay. This boy was not simple!
With her inner doubts resolved, Fairy Su felt relieved, and she couldn't help but smile at Luo Li!
This smile was charming and captivating, and Luo Li couldn't help but be drawn to it, saying:
“So beautiful! So beautiful!”
Women like to be praised for their beauty, and a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy's spontaneous praise, with a pure expression, was more pleasing than any flattery!
Fairy Su turned her head, feeling a liking for this boy. The question of why Luo Li took so long to reflect on his heart was no longer important. Who cared? He was still a Luo family descendant, a mere mortal, what could he do?
The cultivators of the Heart Skill lineage of the Spirit Butterfly Sect were all like this. To put it nicely, they were free-spirited and unpredictable. To put it bluntly, they were all crazy!
Luo Li was still in a daze, sighing inwardly. Pretending to be foolish was useful!
He didn't know what was wrong with him, but he definitely had a problem just now. The other party had noticed something was off, but the problem had mysteriously resolved itself!
At this moment, the other four people entered, sitting at the back of the seats, far away from Luo Li.
When the five of them were seated, the silver-white walls changed, turning into a water curtain, allowing them to see the outside scenery. Immediately, Luo Xin and the others saw their parents and relatives who had come to see them off.
They waved frantically, saying goodbye to their loved ones, who also waved back.
There were no relatives of Luo Li, but he still waved to the outside. In an instant, Luo Li judged that Fairy Su was a strong woman who was cold on the outside but warm on the inside.
She could have directly driven the flying car away, but she had turned it into a water curtain to let Luo Xin and the others say goodbye to their families, showing that she was considerate. So, Luo Li waved to the outside, even though no one was waving back to him, and he did not reveal a hint of his inner joy.
The flying car took off, rising into the sky, gradually entering the clouds. Looking down at the increasingly smaller Silver State continent, Luo Li couldn't help but say softly:
“Goodbye, Silver State, goodbye, homeland!”
“Father, I'm leaving this place without spiritual energy. Father, I'm leaving, I'm leaving!”
“I will definitely come back to see you. Then I will become a Golden Core cultivator and control my own destiny!”
This was a low, almost inaudible voice, only audible to himself. In Luo Li's mind, the Golden Core cultivators he had encountered were already the strongest beings!
But in her ear, Fairy Su's voice sounded:
“Golden Core cultivator? Control your own destiny?
Ha ha, what a big joke. In the Central Heaven, the melting furnace of heaven and earth, if you can't become a deity or transcend, who can say they control their own destiny?
Even the Reversion True One and the Spirit Transformation True Venerable dare not make such bold claims!”
Luo Li was stunned for a moment, then said: “Grandma...”
Fairy Su interrupted him, saying: “Shut up, remember, I am Fairy Su. If anyone calls me Grandma, I'll tear their mouth apart!”
Luo Li immediately shut up, then said: “Sister Fairy Su, may I ask what Reversion True One and Spirit Transformation True Venerable are? How do they differ from Golden Core cultivators?”
If she didn't want to be called Grandma, he would call her Sister!
Fairy Su glanced at Luo Li, then casually looked at the four people behind, and said:
“Since we're here, I'll teach you some knowledge about the cultivation world so you don't embarrass yourselves when you enter the sect.
Do you know the six major realms of cultivation?”
As she asked, Luo Feng immediately showed off, quickly answering:
“I know, I know, Qi Refinement, Foundation Establishment, Golden Core, Nascent Soul, Spirit Transformation, and Reversion!”
Fairy Su looked at him and said:
“Next time, when answering a senior, say 'disciple knows.'”
Then she continued:
“In the cultivation world, there are corresponding titles for the six major realms of cultivation! Foundation Establishment True Cultivator, Golden Core True Person, Nascent Soul True Lord, Spirit Transformation True Venerable, Reversion True One. These are the respectful titles for those who have achieved great cultivation!
Foundation Establishment is the true beginning of cultivation, where one can fast and breathe like a fetus, with a lifespan comparable to snakes and turtles, no longer a mortal. Initially, one can live for 200 years, 260 years in the middle stage, 320 years in the late stage, and 360 years at the peak.
Out of a hundred Foundation Establishment, only one can form a Golden Core, entering the Golden Core realm, where essence and energy condense, and one can summon wind and thunder. Initially, one can live for 700 years, 800 years in the middle stage, 900 years in the late stage, and 1080 years at the peak!
Out of a thousand Golden Core, only one can form a Nascent Soul, entering the Nascent Soul realm, where the Golden Core transforms into a soul, capable of flying and hiding in the earth. Initially, one can live for 3000 years, 3600 years in the middle stage, 4200 years in the late stage, and 5000 years at the peak!
Out of ten thousand Nascent Soul, only one can refine the spirit, entering the Spirit Transformation realm, where the spirit governs the energy, and the Yang Spirit is fully formed. At this point, one is free from the limits of lifespan, but the thunder of tribulation rolls, and most Spirit Transformation True Venerables do not show themselves to the world, exploring the stars and traveling through the heavens, seeking the way to return to simplicity.”
The knowledge of the cultivation world that Fairy Su imparted was something that could not be learned in the Luo family, and even Master Ciyun had not taught it. Luo Li listened intently, memorizing everything.
The other four people were also fully focused, listening carefully.
Fairy Su stopped speaking here, and the beaten Luo Xin could not help but ask:
“Disciple asks, there seems to be another Reversion True One that Fairy has not mentioned!”
She showed utmost respect, performing the disciple's salute, and asked.
Luo Li secretly nodded. This Luo Xin was not simple. This question was a ruse, a way to show her attitude, perform the disciple's salute, and win favor with Fairy Su, to mitigate the impact of the slap.
Fairy Su saw through it immediately, coldly snorted, and said:
“You country bumpkins, raised in a greenhouse, think cultivation is easy, and that you can achieve Foundation Establishment and form a Golden Core just by taking a trip?
Dream on! Out of the five of you, only two have a slight chance of entering Foundation Establishment. The other three, with three or fewer spiritual roots, will spend their entire lives in cultivation, and reaching the seventh level of Qi Refinement would be a sign of good fortune in your family graves.
And Reversion True One? Even Golden Core True Persons are high and mighty beings. In my Spirit Butterfly Sect, which is one of the Left Path sects, there are only nine Golden Core True Persons.
Little girl, do you even deserve to ask about Reversion True One?”
Her words were like knives, and Luo Xin was scolded until her face turned red, tears welling up in her eyes, but she did not cry. Instead, she continued to show respect, saying:
“Thank you, Fairy, for your guidance. Disciple understands!” The other three boys, including Luo Feng, who seemed to be deep in thought, quietly distanced themselves from Luo Xin, drawing a clear line. Luo Ming, who secretly had a crush on Luo Xin, heard this and bit his lips hard, feeling indignant for Luo Xin.
Luo Lan, seeing Luo Xin being scolded, felt a sense of joy deep down. As a woman, she had always secretly envied Luo Xin.
But Luo Li was deep in thought. This seemed like a scolding, but Luo Li felt it was a form of encouragement, a way of nurturing, not just a scolding.
Luo Li did not notice that while Fairy Su was scolding Luo Xin, her attention was actually focused on Luo Li, quietly observing his reaction!
