In my twilight years of cultivating, I became a Supreme Daoist of the Longevity Path

Chapter 33: 030: Indifferent to immortality, practicing skills together_1 Chapter 33: 030: Indifferent to immortality, practicing skills together_1 Luo Mountain City.

Within Luo Family’s progressively layered, deep courtyard, Luo Bing, who is rightfully considered the top third-generation disciple of the Luo Family, occupies a large portion of the mansion.

Her dwelling is located closest to the category one spiritual vein of the Luo Family’s area.

At this moment, in the quiet and comfortable innermost part of the mansion, adorned with pavilions, small bridges, fake mountains, and elegant verandas, a tastefully constructed waterside pavilion floats up in the middle of a vast lake.

Miss Luo Family, Luo Bing, was sitting cross-legged in the waterside pavilion for cultivation, stark naked.

Threads of spiritual energy, looking like substantial white luminance, were absorbed from the magic array beneath her, circling around her body, aiding her cultivation.

...

Practicing like this for a day equals a hundred days of hard work for those with lower-quality spiritual roots.

This is why Luo Bing, who is still so young, is already a cultivator ready to break through from the ninth to the tenth layer of Qi Cultivation.

With such talent and cultivation progress, it could be said that Luo Bing has bright prospects for reaching the Golden Core stage, and naturally, the Luo Family showers this third-generation disciple with affection.

A beam of spiritual light suddenly flashed from outside the courtyard, rapidly approaching.

After its descent, it revealed the figure of Xi’er as delicate as a maiden.

“Miss!”

Xi’er landed on the water surface outside the waterside pavilion, took steps over the waves, and greeted Luo Bing respectfully.

“Did you bring the person?”

Luo Bing asked with a cold voice.

“Yes, plus an extra mortal, the one who delivered the message before.

This Chen Dengming said he needed help.

This mortal can assist him with a thing or two.”

Luo Bing opened her eyes.

Her gaze was as deep as black ink, manifesting solemnity and grace between glances.

She spoke indifferently.

“To refine the Golden Silkworm Gu, it requires forty-nine days.

It indeed needs people to look after.

But what kind of help can a mortal provide?”

Xi’er jumped a bit, “Should I drive this mortal away then?

And let Xiao Liu assist Chen Dengming instead.”

“No need.”

Luo Bing stood up.

Her loose white robe, which did not undermine her graceful figure, moved slightly.

She calmly said, “Since he has already practiced up to the first layer of Qi Cultivation and has learned to harness the spiritual energy, he indeed might be able to help refine the Golden Silkworm Gu.

Give him the materials first.

I want to see his plan to refine the Golden Silkworm Gu.

Remember, I will only give him two chances.”

As for how Chen Dengming had progressed to the first layer of Qi Cultivation so quickly, she had her guesses but chose not to question it further.

All other redundant matters, including the man being wanted, she didn’t care to ask.

After all, they were not worth her attention.

If Chen Dengming could not refine the Golden Silkworm Gu, he would not merit her attention and would be immediately expelled from the Luo Family.

Knowing all the minor and irrelevant things about this man would be even more meaningless.

The Dao of Immortality is ruthless.

Oftentimes it is not about the eradication of emotions.

Instead, when most of one’s energy is invested in cultivation, there is far less left to deal with other matters.

All the more so for irrelevant trivial matters, which makes the person gradually turn indifferent and emotionless.

That’s why, when it comes to cultivation, immortals tend to be indifferent.

In the eyes of the mortals, this seems selfish and heartless, without the so-called great love they would imagine.

…

At this instance, within one of Luo Family’s mansions.

Xu Wei felt a bit nervous watching Chen Dengming, who was drenched in sweat.

All she could do was sit on a chair drinking tea, trying to hide her anxiety and mild embarrassment.

“Huh!

Ha!——”

Chen Dengming was breathing with a rhythm, wholeheartedly absorbing the spiritual energy in the Luo Family’s mansion — three times more concentrated than in the Gathering Place City and seizing the opportunity to perform bizarre cultivation poses as though no one was around.

Seeing beads of sweat flowing like grease down Chen Dengming’s muscular, scar-ridden back, Xu Wei subconsciously took a sip of her tea, feeling a little shocked inside.

“No wonder Mr.

Chen…

oh no, Master Chen could become a cultivator.

He truly works hard at cultivation.”

Remembering how Chen Dengming used to shut himself away in the shanty, not responding even when she knocked on his door, Xu Wei felt quite embarrassed.

Both she and Chen Dengming had low-grade spiritual roots.

Perhaps if she could be as diligent as Chen Dengming, coupled with the spirit rice regularly supplied by Zanhua Building, she might have become a cultivator by now.

…

A while later.

Chen Dengming abruptly stood up, walked over to the table, picked up a cup of tea, and drained it in one gulp.

Xu Wei quickly moved over to refill his tea, intending to take out a handkerchief to wipe his sweat.

“No need!

I’ll be sweating again soon.

Don’t refill the tea either!

Drinking too much will make me pee too much.”

Chen Dengming took out a few tealeaves directly, put them in his mouth to chew, and laughed, “This is more convenient.”

“Huh?”

Xu Wei was stunned.

Seeing that Chen Dengming had returned to the hall to resume his cultivation and even called her along.

“Come on, Xu Wei, let’s cultivate together.

The spiritual energy in Luo Family is truly dense, let’s not waste this opportunity.”

The more the drum beats, the deeper the practice gets.

For Chen Dengming, the rich spiritual energy environment of the Luo Family was indeed a rare cultivation treasure land.

Practicing here once was equivalent to practicing three times in the gathering place, and four times in the wild.

After practicing twelve times a day, the proficiency of the “Three Elements Spirit Gathering Skill” would increase by four points.

How could he resist not practicing?

Xu Wei was touched deep in his heart, watching Chen Dengming start practicing enthusiastically again, he said anxiously, “I’ll practice tonight.

I’m afraid if someone from the Luo Family comes, there will be no one to receive them.”

Then he felt strange internally.

What kind of cultivation technique is Chen Langjun practicing?

Why does he need to strike such weird poses?@@novelbin@@

Practicing is not limited to sitting meditation, some cultivation techniques can be practiced while running, jumping, sitting or lying down.

But the embarrassing practice of Chen Dengming was something she had never seen before.

Perhaps this was a lack of exposure, now her eyes were opened.

…

Half a stick of incense later.

Xi’er’s two braids were flying, she rushed in with spiritual light.

Outside the house, she heard Chen Dengming’s urgent voice.

“Come on, Xu Wei, don’t be so nervous, this is a rare opportunity, let’s make the most of it and practice together!”

“Um…

maybe another day, Master Chen, you…

your movements are too big, I can’t relax, I want to practice at night…”

“What?!”

Xi’er’s face turned black.

What are these two strangers thinking of doing?

Have they taken bear heart and leopard gall, or the pills of joy and laughter?

Oh right, these mortals are from Zanhua Building, but where do they think they are to have their doors open?

“Chen Dengming!

You dare!”

Before her flying artifact could settle down, Xi’er had jumped down and rushed into the mansion.

She saw Chen Dengming standing in a one-legged chicken position, shirtless, enveloped in spiritual light, clearly in the state of Three Elements Convergence.

Xu Wei was anxiously sitting in the house holding a teacup.

Upon seeing Xi’er come in, he immediately stood up to salute.

“What…

what are you doing?”

Xi’er was dumbfounded as she looked at the layers of muscles on Chen Dengming.

Chen Dengming was taken aback and stopped cultivating.

He put his other foot down and said, “I’m cultivating.

Excuse me, lady, I didn’t know that one couldn’t cultivate in the Luo Family’s house.”

Xi’er’s ears turned red, realizing it was a misunderstanding.

She only then remembered that Chen Dengming was working on the Three Elements Gathering Spirit Skill.

This cultivation technique, Ms.

Luo Family had once made fun of it as a joke, that the old Taoist of the Escaping World Sect was dishonest, trading it to Chen Dengming at the Ascension Conference was a ‘ugly’ “Three Elements Gathering Spirit Skill”.

“Oh…

No, nothing.

I just said earlier, you are too bold.

You are sweating so much that you have soiled the carpet.”

Xi’er walked around the house with her hands behind her, her gaze unnaturally glanced at Chen Dengming.

Chen Dengming looked down at the thoroughly wet carpet beneath his feet, “…”

Xi’er frowned, looking disgusted, “And also, don’t strip your upper body at will, it’s indecent.

Put on your robe, we are going to refine the Golden Silkworm Gu immediately.

Miss said, she only gives you two chances, it depends on whether you are up to the task or not.”

“Two chances…”

Chen Dengming felt a chill in his heart, and then slightly relaxed.

Thank goodness, look on the bright side, as long as it’s not just one chance it’s good.

He has never refined Golden Silkworm Gu either.

But according to the Gu Refinement Secret, as long as you master this formula to a proficient level, you can refine the Golden Silkworm Gu.

Therefore, when he was still in the innate realm, he already planned to collect the materials to refine the Golden Silkworm Gu.

Now that there are two chances, it should be enough to refine the Golden Silkworm Gu.

As for what might happen if it still fails after two times, Chen Dengming had already thought about it—it would not cost him his life.

He had already inquired in advance.

Those pseudo cultivators who claimed they could refine the Golden Silkworm Gu were driven out by the Luo Family, in reality, they were only beaten up badly, they didn’t lose their lives over it.

Since he does have actual skills, all he needs to do is show them.

Fairy Luo is not blind either, she won’t kill him just because of a disagreement.

Of course, these calculations are based on his current power as a cultivator.

If he were just a mortal, even if the Luo family offered a confounding reward, he would not dare to risk his life unless absolutely necessary.

Mortals…

even if they want to gain momentum, they simply can’t.

A high-level cultivator can see through any careful thought of a mortal with just a glance, leading them to a dead end!
