Chapter 45 I Want to Become an Immortal
Chapter 45 I Want to Become an Immortal (XIV)
"Meet the Master!"
Although everyone was muttering in their hearts that there were only three of them in the audience and they had to pose to scare people, they still had to show proper etiquette.
Seeing that the three people were polite and had a proper attitude, the hall master nodded with satisfaction, but his neck creaked like a rusty hinge that had not been oiled for a long time. He tried to force a kind smile on his stiff face, but it only made his wrinkles squeezed together and his eyes were sharp, which was even more terrifying.
"Very good. You are now the top students of Qixuan Academy. Now that you have learned the method of cultivating immortals, you should study hard and practice diligently without any slackness. The path of cultivation is like climbing a mountain. Every step is difficult and only with perseverance can you reach the top. If you persist day and night, without interruption, the day of becoming an immortal is just around the corner." The hall master stroked his long white beard and said bit by bit.
"Yes!"
The hall master's words of encouragement, coupled with his fixed gaze, made one dare not disobey.
"This is your achievement this time." The hall master flicked his sleeves, and everyone's Seven Profound Orders flashed with a faint light.
Liu Sheng's Seven Mysterious Order now reads:
【Name: Yao Sujin】
[Age: Nineteen years old]
[Identity: A student of Qixuan Academy]
[Entry time: the 23rd year of Tianhe]
[Residence: Xichunzhai Ugly 12]
[Root bone: inferior]
【Comprehension: Top】
[Cultivation: None]
Unexpectedly, Tian Yanshi cheated for her and made her appear to have top-notch comprehension.
……
Just when everyone was concentrating on their test results, suddenly, under the moonlight, outside the long window, a twisted figure was seen crawling on the ground.
Liu Sheng and the other two felt nervous and looked out the window at the same time. They saw a figure in a red robe, as bright as blood, in sharp contrast to the darkness around him. His movements were slow and stiff, and his limbs seemed to have been broken. Every movement was filled with painful tremors.
Looking at the face again, the long and messy black hair covered most of the face, revealing only the pale and bleeding chin, and the red lips that were cracked to the ear. The pair of sharp eyes were gone, leaving only two holes.
Although it had no eyes, its face was still facing Liu Sheng, and the blood hole was looking at her like an eye.
Liu Sheng immediately recognized that it was the female lecturer who had been targeting her!
But, doesn’t she look too miserable now?
Her hands stretched forward weakly, and she made tiny and intermittent whimpers, a sound full of pleading and unwillingness.
As she crawled, she left a bright red trail on the ground.
It turned out that the Taoist robe she was wearing was stained red with blood.
With a snap, the ruler hit the table, calling the attention of the three people.
"Don't be distracted." The hall master's voice was low and calm, as if it could reach the hearts of the three people. "Many interferences from the outside world are tests on the road of cultivation. Only when your heart is as calm as still water can you glimpse the true meaning of the way of heaven."
As the lecturer finished speaking, two meat-strip ghosts that looked like shelled clams ran over from outside the lecture hall, grabbed the female ghost on the ground and lifted her up, and said to the lecturer anxiously, "I'm sorry, lecturer, we were not paying attention and she escaped. Who would have thought that she would dare to run here and disturb your class."
After saying this, the head kept nodding towards the headmaster, but because there was no face, no expression could be seen. The strips of meat were trembling, and they seemed to be quite afraid that the headmaster would punish them as well.
"Take this disgraceful thing away!" The hall master waved his hands impatiently, feeling somewhat disappointed.
"As a teacher, you should put morality and integrity first. How can you commit such misconduct as falsifying academic knowledge and accepting bribes? You also abuse private punishment, seek revenge for personal gain, and corrupt the teaching profession. You are a disgrace to the school and even to the world of immortal cultivation!"
Liu Sheng understood why the female lecturer was punished. He did not expect that under such a strange disaster and in this twisted academy, there would still be a headmaster who respected teachers so much. He could not help but respect him.
"I don't accept it, I don't accept it! I just... I just... don't want to see any other creatures around him..." The female lecturer shouted unwillingly before being dragged away, her voice full of tears. The sobbing sound gradually faded away and could no longer be heard.
Only then did Liu Sheng realize that the reason why she was targeted was so ridiculous... She originally thought it was because she was a genius and was hated by others, or she was the heroine in the storybook who was always targeted for no reason, or she was indeed too beautiful in the eyes of the ghost, and it was hard to give up her natural beauty.
She never expected that this was a sadomasochistic love story between a female lecturer and a pig-headed cook: "He runs away, she chases, and neither of them can escape." And she, Liu Sheng, an ordinary human being, a wage earner, inexplicably became a part of their game.
Seeing that everyone had been completely distracted by the vague gossip, the hall master sighed and said, "Foolish boy, this is the consequence of being too obsessed. You should take this as a warning."
"Forget it. Now that you all have no interest in studying, let it go." The headmaster put away the ruler in disappointment.
"The Chongdao Temple has spiritual veins that can help you practice. You can live in the temple and practice quietly. When you break through the Qi Refining Stage, you can come here to participate in the final examination for promotion."
After giving his final instructions, the headmaster looked deeply at the three of them and then waved his sleeves.
Liu Sheng and the other two were instantly driven out of Qingxu Hall. A half moon shone brightly, and the night was dark and deep as it hovered over the square.
Several disciples who had just finished today's outer dormitory promotion examination also walked out of Qingxu Hall at this time and looked at them curiously.
Someone murmured quietly: "They look clean and have not suffered any hardship."
"Yes, and three people can survive. I remember there were five people when we went in. The survival rate is not low!"
Another person said optimistically: "It seems that the entrance exam to the inner dormitory is not difficult. We will come tomorrow!"
Liu Sheng, She Chan and Jiang Tao looked at each other and smiled bitterly.
Then they stopped talking and followed the rule that no more than two people should walk side by side. Liu Sheng and She Chan walked down the stairs to the right together. Jiang Tao walked down the stairs alone and walked to the left, and his figure gradually disappeared into the black fog.
……
Liu Sheng and She Chan walked down the stairs and headed towards Xichunzhai through the black fog.
The moonlight was like water sprinkling on the ancient bluestone slabs, flowing into a mottled color. The surrounding pines and cypresses silently lowered their eyes and looked down above their heads. Occasionally, one or two screams or roars were heard in the distance. The ubiquitous sight in the darkness was chilling.
"Today, I'm lucky to have you." She Chan bit her lower lip and looked at Liu Sheng seriously, "I won't ask how you did it, and I don't know what you went through, but I know it must not have been easy. If it weren't for you today, I'm afraid I would have died in there. I wouldn't have had the chance to get the skills... Thank you, Su Jin."
Liu Sheng smiled slightly and accepted the thanks calmly.
She Chan blushed slightly, thought for a moment, and continued, "Su Jin, what are your plans next?"
"What I mean is that I have practiced some martial arts, and now I am also a student in the upper dormitory." She was afraid that Liu Sheng didn't understand what she meant, so she added anxiously, "My roommates... are gone. I want to ask, how about we travel together from now on?"
After She Chan finished speaking, her cheeks flushed and her eyes flickered.
Liu Sheng guessed that it was because she directly asked for favor and so she felt a little embarrassed.
For She Chan, Liu Sheng is a reliable boss whom she just met.
As for Liu Sheng, after countless deductions, She Chan is the stranger she is most familiar with.
In every deduction, She Chan never took the initiative to harm her except when he was confused. He was still a good person.
Besides, She Chan knows some martial arts, so she shouldn't be a burden to her. Maybe it would be helpful to have someone by her side to help.
"Okay, let's go together." Liu Sheng nodded in response.
"It just so happens that all my roommates are gone too."
Yes, how could it be such a coincidence! ?

This book is more important, so it will be longer.
