Chapter 3

On the way to Purple Mist Peak, Lin Qingzhu felt extremely nervous and excited.

Facing the upcoming immortal path, everyone had a bit of anticipation.

Looking at the young and handsome master who was riding a sword, Lin Qingzhu felt a warmth in her heart for no reason.

This master, not only handsome, was also very gentle, unlike other sect leaders who always had a stern face.

As if someone owed them a few million.

Moreover, he cared about the psychological issues of his disciples and often comforted her.

Even more unimaginable was his tolerance. Despite the slander and exclusion from so many sect leaders, he always remained calm and composed.

Lin Qingzhu admired his mindset greatly and secretly made a vow in her heart.

"I must work hard and not disgrace my master!"

A few minutes later, a purple light flashed across Purple Mist Peak, and two people slowly landed in front of a few small wooden houses.

"We're here."

Walking to the wooden houses, Ye Qiu, with a straight face, said solemnly, "As an immortal cultivator, I value spontaneity and freedom in all aspects of life, including clothing, food, and shelter."

"Although the conditions are simple, they can temper one's character, making the path of cultivation more solid in the future..."

After saying this, Ye Qiu felt a bit embarrassed, but his thick skin kept his expression natural.

Purple Mist Peak was very poor, largely due to Xuantian Zhenren. After all, this old man, when he was full, the entire Purple Mist Peak was not hungry.

"Master, I understand!"

Lin Qingzhu replied with a firm tone.

"These wooden houses, except for the middle one, you can choose any one as your residence."

"From today on, you are the 19th-generation senior disciple of Purple Mist Peak, the future successor."

"As a senior disciple, you must work hard and practice diligently, setting an example for future junior disciples."

Ye Qiu repeated every word that Xuantian Zhenren had said when he first took him in.

Lin Qingzhu was filled with enthusiasm. She never expected to be so lucky, being directly groomed as a successor right after becoming a disciple?

She immediately expressed her determination.

"Master, rest assured, I will definitely work hard."

"Very good!"

Ye Qiu let out a long breath. He was not afraid of anything, except for her giving up.

After all, when he first came up the mountain, he also wanted to give up when he saw the state of Purple Mist Peak.

"Alright! Since you have become my disciple, I cannot keep anything from you."

"Take this Cleansing Marrow Pill."

"Although it is an ordinary pill, its effect is excellent. It can cleanse the impurities from your body and help you quickly sense the existence of qi."

As he spoke, Ye Qiu slowly took out the Cleansing Marrow Pill that the system had rewarded him and handed it to Lin Qingzhu.

Lin Qingzhu took the pill from his hand, feeling extremely moved.

"Master, this..."

She had just become a disciple, and her master had already rewarded her with a Cleansing Marrow Pill.

Previously, Liu Qingfeng had introduced them to the path of cultivation, which, besides personal talent, also required another very important element.

That was the heavenly treasures and miraculous elixirs.

Most of these were in the hands of the sect leaders.

However, they were very stingy and did not want to waste these hard-earned elixirs and treasures.

This was also why they competed for disciples with higher talent.

Lin Qingzhu never expected her master to be so generous, rewarding her with a high-quality elixir right after she joined.

She was so moved that she almost wanted to offer herself to him.

"Thank you, Master! I will not disappoint you..."

Without any hesitation, Lin Qingzhu directly swallowed the Cleansing Marrow Pill.

She felt a warmth in her body, and a mysterious force surged within, quickly expelling the impurities from her body.

Feeling the sticky impurities on her skin, Lin Qingzhu blushed and felt a bit embarrassed.

"Ha ha, go! There is a hot spring on the back mountain where you can clean up."

Ye Qiu smiled, understanding her vanity.

Moreover, Lin Qingzhu was extremely beautiful, a cold and elegant goddess type with fair and tender skin, standing about 1.75 meters tall and very slender.

Especially after taking the Cleansing Marrow Pill and clearing the impurities from her body, her entire demeanor changed dramatically.

If this were in another novel, she would be a perfect female protagonist, a sacred maiden of the holy land.

"Thank you, Master. I will take my leave."

Lin Qingzhu left the training ground as if she were fleeing. After she left,

Ye Qiu's expression changed, and the corners of his mouth curled up.

"System!"

"Come out, come out, quickly, where's my return?"

At this moment, he was eager to verify it.

[Ding...]

[The host has given a Cleansing Marrow Pill to the disciple, meeting the conditions.]

[Initiate ten-thousand-fold return, random critical hit, start?]

"Initiate..."

[Initiation successful. Congratulations, host, triggering a thousand-fold critical hit, obtaining an Ultimate Spirit Pill, Divine Marrow Pill...]

"Damn!"

Ye Qiu was so surprised that he jumped up from his chair.

The first attempt triggered a thousand-fold critical hit, and he obtained an Ultimate Spirit Pill, the Divine Marrow Pill.

This thing was a thousand times more effective than the Cleansing Marrow Pill.

It could perfectly solve his problem of ordinary talent.

"Hehe..."

"Not bad, not bad. As expected of my good disciple, a lucky star, triggering a thousand-fold critical hit right away."

Holding the Divine Marrow Pill returned by the system, Ye Qiu was almost too happy to close his mouth.

Suddenly, he had a crazy idea.

Before long, Lin Qingzhu returned after cleaning up.

Her hair was wet and naturally fell, giving her a fresh and pure look. Ye Qiu almost stared in amazement.

"Damn! This girl is so enchanting."

"No, I am her master. How can I have such improper thoughts? What about propriety and ethics..."

Shaking his head, he quickly dispelled his evil thoughts and recovered.

"Master! I'm back..."

Lin Qingzhu returned a bit shyly, and Ye Qiu nodded.

"Um, I thought about it just now."

"A Cleansing Marrow Pill can help you sense the existence of qi earlier, but to surpass your peers, it might not be enough."

"Here, I have another Divine Marrow Pill. Take it, and in a moment, your talent will undergo a dramatic change."

"Ah..."

Lin Qingzhu was stunned.

Was her master too generous?

Moreover, he had such a precious pill and did not take it himself but gave it to her...

At this moment, Lin Qingzhu was deeply moved, almost to the point of tears.

Perhaps her master did this so she would not be looked down upon by her peers and to help her become strong quickly to avenge her parents.

Thinking of her encounter in the Jade Purity Hall, Lin Qingzhu felt a chill in her heart and clenched her fists.

"Hmph, you all wait. I will avenge today's humiliation for my master a hundredfold."

Making a silent vow, Lin Qingzhu immediately bowed deeply.

"Master's great kindness, Qingzhu will remember for life. Please accept this bow from Qingzhu."

"Um, get up! Take this first..."

He did not care what she was thinking; he was more concerned about whether he could get a return again.

This was a very crazy idea. If it worked, could he infinitely loop it?

Taking the Divine Marrow Pill, Lin Qingzhu swallowed it in one go.

Instantly, an even more powerful force surged within her.

Since the impurities had already been cleared, the Divine Marrow Pill did not cleanse but instead transformed her internal meridians.

In a moment, a divine bone began to form within her.

"Wow... a天生玄冰骨 (Tian Sheng Xuan Bing Gu)!"

Ye Qiu was shocked. This was an ultimate divine bone, even higher in grade than the divine bone of the young man in the hall.

The Divine Marrow Pill was truly terrifying.

[Ding...]

[Congratulations, host, giving the Divine Marrow Pill to the disciple, triggering a critical hit return, initiate?]

"Initiate..."

[Initiation successful, triggering a hundred-fold critical hit, obtaining a Spirit Marrow Pill.]

[Note: The system has detected the host's intention to exploit a loophole by giving the returned item to trigger another return. This time, the system will treat it as if nothing happened, and this is a warning...]

[Special note: The items returned by the system will not trigger a critical hit return through gifting again.]

Hearing the warning, Ye Qiu's heart tightened, but he relaxed when he heard it was just a warning.

Hehe, good thing he didn't bet wrong! Although he couldn't infinitely loop it, at least he succeeded once.

A gamble, a bicycle turning into a motorcycle, an Ultimate Spirit Pill, the Divine Marrow Pill, directly turning into a spirit pill, and even a Spirit Marrow Pill...

This was the highest-grade pill!

"Ha ha, I'm rich..."

Ye Qiu almost let out a maniacal laugh, but he quickly regained his composure in front of his disciple.

"Cough, cough..."

Calm down, calm down...

A mere spirit pill, just the beginning.
