Bai Zhanying was not strict with Luo Xue. It was up to Luo Xue herself whether she wanted to join the Juexiao Sect or not.
Even if Luo Xue is a mortal, it doesn't matter if she stays in Juexiao Sect until the end of her life.
Of course, Luo Xue couldn't do that.
She must become stronger, otherwise this dream life will be meaningless.
Luo Xue thought and opened the panel.
[Cultivation Qualifications: Barely]
[Special Constitution: Disaster Poison Body]
[Survival Points: 305]
[Current Realm: Innate Realm (Soul Cultivation)]
"A twelve-year-old Xiantian, he should have no problem passing the Dengxian Gate, right?" Luo Xue rubbed her fingers and looked at the distant mountain peaks surrounded by fairy clouds. "If I advance to the Yunling realm and learn some more magic, I should be able to defeat the assassin."
As for what happens next, we’ll deal with it later.
"At least now, I can finally live a relatively easy life."
When she thought of this, Luo Xue suddenly felt that the burden that had been carrying in her heart was suddenly lightened a lot, and her mood became much more relaxed.
"Let's go out and take a look."
Luo Xue took a dagger and hung it around her waist, then walked out of the house.
She hummed a little tune and walked towards Luohuatian.
... ...
"... Haven't you driven the child you adopted into the abyss yet?"
A deep voice suddenly sounded.
After the words fell, Bai Zhanying's hand trembled slightly, and he replied in a cold voice, "She is a very good child."
“But he is also a person with a demonic body.”
The sect elder stood with his hands behind his back, looking coldly at Bai Zhanying.
"Bai Zhanying, you are the new generation of genius of Juexiao Sect, and the pillar of the sect after we step down. You must know what the 'poisonous body of misfortune' means."
Luo Xue's physique was accidentally discovered by the elders of Juexiao Sect a few years after Bai Zhanying adopted her.
Although Luo Xue only knew that this physique was toxic and terrible, she didn't know how terrible it was.
But Juexiao Sect knows.
Thousands of years ago, there was a shocking war between immortals and demons.
Among them was a great demon with a poisonous body. He polluted half of the state in the fairyland by himself, causing the death of hundreds of millions of lives.
What a horrible physique...
It's like a walking hell on earth.
When they discovered that Luo Xue had this physique, Juexiao Sect immediately decided to kill her to prevent future trouble.
However, Bai Zhanying, who had raised Luo Xue for several years, couldn't bear to do it and kept refusing.
Since Bai Zhanying's identity was very important, it was not easy for the sect to execute her alone without her permission.
Therefore, the sect finally took a step back and was willing to spare Luo Xue's life.
But their path to cultivation must be blocked, and they must be driven into the devil's abyss to fend for themselves.
Although Bai Zhanying reluctantly agreed, several years have passed and there is still no sign of taking any action.
The elders of the sect had come to urge him time and again, but Bai Zhanying always used the excuses of being busy and Luo Xue being still young to delay.
"... She is still a child now." Bai Zhanying's eyes flickered and he whispered, "Wait a few more years, and I will send her down myself."
"I hope so."
The sect elder looked at Bai Zhanying deeply.
"Luohuatian is busy with affairs, so I'm sorry that I can't see you off," Bai Zhanying raised his hand towards the door, intending to send the guest away, "Please."
"snort."
The sect elder snorted coldly, waved his sleeves, turned around and was about to leave.
At this moment, a clear and crisp voice sounded at the door.
"Big Sister! I'm here to see you!"
Chapter 44: Gate to Immortality
A white ponytail bounced into the doorway, and the petite body leaned slightly inside.
It was a rare opportunity for Luo Xue to leave the cabin, so she dressed up a little.
At least she tied her long hair up into a simple ponytail.
As soon as she entered the door, Luo Xue was caught off guard and met their eyes.
"Ah, this old gentleman..."
The tall woman sitting behind the table was her senior sister Bai Zhanying, but she didn't recognize the fussy old man next to her, Luo Xue.
"It's the elder."
Bai Zhanying mentioned this.
"Hello, elder."
Luo Xue performed the disciple etiquette properly, but the sect elder just stared at her without saying a word.
"Xiaoxue, why did you come out?"
Bai Zhanying stood up, walked to Luo Xue's side, and stood between her and the elder without making a sound.
"I want to join the Ascension Gate."
Luo Xue said bluntly.
"... ..."
Upon hearing this, Bai Zhanying's expression froze.
The sect elder's gaze became imperceptibly sharp for a moment.
"Why... can't I?"
Luo Xue noticed that the atmosphere was not right and shrank her head.
That's not right. She had read the rules of the Dengxian Gate and there was no regulation on realm or strength.
The only restriction is that the age must be within sixty years.
There is another very important point: once you reach the gate of immortality, life or death does not matter.
Although there are many elders with profound cultivation to guard the gate of immortality, there are always accidents throughout the ages.
Therefore, people occasionally lose their lives.
Anyone who seeks immortality or asks for the Tao must be aware that the path to immortality is not easy.
If you are not careful, life and death will be separated.
Bai Zhanying hesitated, she didn't know whether she should refuse.
She turned her head to look at the sect elder, but the sect elder just remained silent with a blank expression.
"... it would be dangerous."
Bai Zhanying said softly.
"I'm not afraid," Luo Xue replied, clenching her fists slightly, "Big Sister, believe me."
Seeing Luo Xue was so persistent, Bai Zhanying could only sigh in his heart.
I knew this day would come. Being in the immortal gate and witnessing the ethereal figures of the immortals every day, it is impossible for me not to have a little yearning in my heart.
It would be fine if Luo Xue was just an ordinary person, or even just an ordinary person without any qualifications.
If this fairy can cultivate, then she can. If she can’t, then Bai Zhanying is willing to keep watching over her as mortals only have a short life of a hundred years.
After all, Xiaoxue was picked up by her when she was a child. She had no father or mother and had lived with her for twelve years.
Bai Zhanying is not an ungrateful person, and he does have some feelings for Luo Xue after all.
But... Luo Xue happens to be a body susceptible to the evil poison.
This kind of physique is not only dangerous. No matter what kind of Taoism one practices, their spiritual power will be forcibly transformed into a special kind of spiritual power that is toxic.
In other words, the method of cultivating immortality is the same as practicing evil magic.
...How could an immortal sect possibly cultivate an evil cultivator
More importantly, because immortals and evil are not tolerated, forced cultivation can easily lead to obsession.
The evil poisonous body is possessed by evil...
It is not necessary to destroy the entire Juexiao Sect, but destroying one or two mountains is not a problem.
At least thousands of disciples will be involved.
This is why the Juexiao Sect has been advising Bai Zhanying to kill Luo Xue, or cut off her path of cultivation and drive her into the Demon Abyss.
After hesitating for a while, Bai Zhanying finally spoke,
"Sorry, Xiaoxue, this is inappropriate..."
"What's wrong?"
To Bai Zhanying's surprise, the sect elder actually interrupted her.
She turned her head in surprise, only to see the sect elder smiling amiably and nodding slightly at Luo Xue.
“A good seedling.”
"Thank you, Elder."
Luo Xue bowed again, very well-behaved.
"Elder, you are..."
Bai Zhanying was a little confused, but the sect elders no longer paid attention to her.
The sect elder approached Luo Xue, smiled with satisfaction, took out a token and handed it to her.
"This is my personal token. If you need my help, you can come to the Law Enforcement Hall with this token."
"I am Zhong Bo, the second elder of the Law Enforcement Hall. If you wish, you can call me Grandpa Zhong."
"Yes, yes." Luo Xue took the token and bowed repeatedly, "Thank you, Grandpa Zhong."
Zhong Bo showed an appreciative smile on his old face. He turned his head slightly and saw Bai Zhanying's slightly flustered and puzzled look, so he continued to say to Luo Xue,
"But Zhan Ying and I still have some matters to discuss. Will you leave first?"
"good."
Luo Xue did not continue to stay here out of tact.
She could also see that the senior sister seemed to have something to say to Elder Zhong Bo, but it seemed inconvenient for her to be here.
"Big sister, Grandpa Zhong, goodbye."
Luo Xue waved her hand, walked out, and closed the door considerately.
When the petite white figure disappeared, the smile on elder Zhong Bo's face instantly disappeared, and he became as old-fashioned and stern as before.
"Elder, why is this?" Bai Zhanying cast a soundproof spell and turned to look at Elder Zhong Bo, "Elder, Juexiao Sect cannot possibly accept Xiaoxue as a disciple."
"It seems that you are also very clear about this." Elder Zhong Bo said coldly.
"In a few years, I will send her away."
Bai Zhanying's attitude was quite firm and he did not give in at all.
“Zhan Ying, do you think I don’t know your little tricks?” Elder Zhong Bo shook his head, “Year after year, when will it end? You and your master have the same temperament, stubborn.
