Chapter 40 The First Confession

  In the sea of clouds and fog, Xiaodou is alone, riding his sword and soaring, with a crazy smile on his small face, his heart beating wildly and uncontrollably!

  Below a thousand meters, the cold and gloomy flying creature couldn't help but let out a bitter laugh as it muttered to itself:

  "This is terrible! This guy is laughing so wickedly, I'm the one who's supposed to be in charge, but now my guts are churning with anxiety just like his! Is this okay?"

  Will it work? Who knows? Since the decision was made, Xiaodou is not afraid of anything, and behind him, there are still a group of brothers and sisters who never leave him. It's just that this time, everyone is a bit farther away from him! Their expressions are almost heartbreaking, tense to death, unbearable~

  He flew straight to the Zhenyang Peak, and with a loud creaking sound, he knocked open the palace-like gate. There, he saw the girl who had been haunting his dreams - Bai Xiaofei!

  Xiao Dou didn't care about the surrounding crowd, ignoring the envious, jealous and resentful gazes of those who stared at him with malicious eyes. He directly took hold of Bai Xiaofei's delicate hand and led her to fly towards the distant precipice on their swords!

  Silently gazing at each other, hundreds and thousands of people on both sides, tens of thousands of cultivators are gathering more and more, no matter how much the fellow disciples glare, it's useless, I'm so fed up!

  On this side, Xiao Dou took a deep breath, clenched his fists, and with an extremely hot expression, faced Bai Xiaofei who was shocked and at a loss, ignoring the countless fellow disciples around him, suddenly burst out laughing loudly:

  "Beautiful girl, I love you, be my girlfriend! No matter what danger we encounter, I will protect you with my life!"

  "Sorry!" Bai Xiaofei's small face turned slightly red, and she said calmly: "I can't accept you, because my father promised me to someone else before he ascended!"

  "Wah~ Hahaha...... Pffft~ Hahaha......" The endless ridicule around him suddenly erupted! The sound shook the nine heavens, and even the thunderclouds of Tribulation were not as loud. It spread like a landslide to the central peak of Jiuhua Mountain, sweeping through every corner of the Immortal Realm like a mighty army!

  It hurts! It hurts to the heart! His heart would not be so painful even if he died! It wouldn't hurt that much even if he died ten million times!

  Why? Why bear this pain alone? Why can't I just die? Being rejected is so heart-wrenching! He had never thought of it! He didn't know, this was his first time confessing to a girl!

  Cry! He cried, as he turned around, amidst the countless people laughing hysterically, even disregarding their spotless Taoist robes, neat shirts, and dignified attire, sitting on the dirty ground, laughing wildly, holding their bellies, slapping their thighs, watching what they thought was the most hilarious scene. At this moment, he couldn't help but cry as he turned around and left...

  Nothing matters anymore. On the edge of the Seismic Peak, he had a deathly pale expression and handed two boxes to Leng Hansheng, then indifferently said to him:

  "Big brother, help me send this to Xiaofei, and also, forget about this useless little brother of mine!"

  He slapped that handsome face a few times, suddenly he tightly hugged him and turned into a crazy loud shout:

  "Damn it, Xiaodou - I hate you, but I hate myself even more. Why? Why is all of this happening?"

  Xiao Dou returned to Shangong Valley with a dazed expression, accompanied by his fellow disciples. Everything seemed to be going smoothly, except for him, who spent his days eating and drinking excessively, while everyone else was busy...

  They had only three hundred years of life left, and they had to rush to the Dan period immediately, otherwise they would die. Everyone was busy, under the command of Shuixian, constantly sorting out the spiritual grasses and materials collected this time, Xiaomei was forging, busy day and night without sleep, and she was the most miserable one.

  The Water Fairy is not much better, and it's almost formed. The command will be handed over to Xiaoxiao, and then he will close the door and frantically refine the elixir. After that, Yunrui will distribute them evenly to everyone. Each person has three golden yuan dan and fifteen bottles of cultivation dan. Even if their qualifications are poor, they are all people with spiritual roots who can cultivate immortals in the mortal world. The ones who condensed the Golden Elixir were one after another!

  Failed, the inferior ones, everyone will take out their extra share to help them. The harmony of Shangong Valley has always been famous, and at this critical moment of life and death, it still shows a family's affection, which is very precious!

  But even so, many of his fellow sect members had not reached the Jiedan stage. Among a hundred cultivators, only three to eight could break through to the early stages of Jiedan. And yet, out of over 220 people, nearly half had succeeded - it was truly quite impressive!

  As the remaining people's lifespan was about to expire, one by one they sighed with their heads down. Xiao Dou found Shui Xian with a fierce expression, not saying a word, but staring at her with piercing eyes!

  Ten minutes later, Shuixian jumped up like a madman and shouted loudly: "Xiaodou, you don't have to look at me like that. I've divided the elixirs equally among everyone. Those junior brothers and sisters who aren't capable enough, I've given them an extra share too. If it's still not enough, then don't blame me! It just so happens that if they don't want to die, they can also follow you on the path of becoming a zombie. You won't be lonely anymore!"

  " What nonsense about becoming a zombie! When a person's body dies, they don't feel anything anymore. The body is just a smelly corpse, and people will look down on it. I don't believe that kind of life can be good in any way. To be honest, I've already given up on Xiaofei. Even if I were to die, I wouldn't become a zombie. But you, Shuixian, can't just let me die without being at peace, can you? Those disciples of ours are still savable! Why didn't you save them?"

  "Ah, you're going to die! They won't die, who will? Our cultivation efficiency is already three times higher than the best Ling Grass-producing island of Penglai, and yet you still... What do you want from me? Do you think I have some kind of incredible abilities?"

  Xiao Dou said with a determined face: "Take out all the elixirs, take out all the valuable materials, take out everything we have, and exchange them for Golden Yuan Dan. I don't believe it can't succeed!"

  Little burst out, a small fist finished the airway: "All? Take out all the things, and then that's a dead end. The Dan period will start cultivating the golden elixir in the body with the Jindan method. We, except for the elixir, don't even have ten low-grade magic treasures. If you go out, people won't recognize you as a Dan period cultivator. You'll lose face to death!"

  "Who cares!" Xiaodou's loud and arrogant voice echoed: "Fine, I'll take the path of a zombie. In a few days, I'll become an invincible zombie. You want something? I'll help you get it back. Let me tell you, normally I can listen to you guys, but this time, no way! You must put in all your strength to help everyone succeed together!"

  Xiao Mei sighed and said, "Water Fairy, a few ordinary magic treasures can't accomplish anything, and they've hurt everyone's feelings. Why not just do what Xiao Dou said? Besides, the one who suffers in the end is only Xiao Dou alone, that's enough."

  The narcissus threw over a small key and jumped with small feet, saying: "Take it, take it all away, I hope I won't be suffocated by you."

  "Wahahaha......" Xiaodou laughed happily and said: "Shuixian, you are the kindest girl in the world! I, Xiaodou, love you to death! Oh, and also Xiao Xiao and Xiao Mei, of course, and this most handsome 'girl killer' (me)! We're all good people! Oh, junior brothers and sisters, assemble!"

  Watching him run away like a madman, Shuixian sat down with a lost expression and muttered: "He's going to die himself, yet he's still thinking about others. What kind of idiot is this?"

  This side Xiao Dou led everyone to rob everyone, whether it's words or actions, it's really contradictory. Just see him standing on the stage, with a desperate expression, shouting loudly:

  "Ah ha ~ anyway, after reaching the Cong Dan period, those Dao instruments are no longer of much use. Now, each and every one of you, except for a high-grade flying sword, hand over everything else to me. I'm telling you, even if we lose all our family's assets, we can't let anyone die. Rui Yao, count up all the items that have been handed in, sell them off in batches, and exchange them for spiritual stones to refine a large quantity of Golden Yuan Dan for me. This old lady is not going to believe it ~"

  Soft sobbing sounds, those junior brothers and sisters who had not yet reached the initial stage of forming a dan were moved to tears. Three hundred years of day and night together, three hundred years of eating every meal together, three hundred years of laughter and conversation... facing this cruel and cold world, everyone's heart was already filled with bitterness, who could bear to part with their most beloved ones?

  The little rascals in Shengu Valley are desperately rushing to refine the Golden Yuan Dan, selling everything they can get their hands on, and making a huge commotion throughout the entire Jiuhua Mountain just to collect materials for the Golden Yuan Dan. Except for Xiao Dou's pile of zombie-making stuff, Yun Xiaoqiao's Thousand-layered Umbrella, Shuixian's Alchemy Furnace, Xiaoxiao's poison-making equipment, puppet-making tools, and array-making tools, as well as each person in the valley having a flying sword, almost everything that can be sold has been sold. All of their spiritual stones have also been used up. What's left for them to do is silently guard the mountain gate for those clumsy little junior brothers and sisters who are about to break through to the next level...

  While Datiang's little bean had nothing to do, he held a four-cornered crucible in one hand and shook his head with a playful expression. Before long, he casually poured out a pile of black waste material, and his face was flushed with anger as he scolded:

  "Ugh... what kind of heavenly refining technique is being blown on the cliff, I spat... not even one success in a hundred attempts!"

  Narcissus said with a disdainful face: "The way of refining instruments is the most difficult profession among all technologies. With your carelessness, it's strange that you can succeed. Think about when I was learning to refine Dan, using the same gaze as yours at that time, staring at Master Qing Song day and night for a year, almost getting mental illness, and finally succeeding with great difficulty."

  Xiao Mei smiled and said: "Xiao Dou, besides, the refining cauldron you're using is a broken one, it won't succeed anyway. But if you want to play around, that's fine too. We have many useless materials in our valley that can't be sold and would be wasted if thrown away. They were all made by me for my cultivation and forging practice. Go ahead and destroy them, at least they won't take up space!"

  Xiao Dou smiled casually and said: "Hmph, anyway, I won't be cultivating anymore, there's plenty of time, let me study it a bit, having something to do is pretty good too. Shui Xian, don't be angry with me now, if it's not enough, I'll just sell that thousand-year-old spiritual grass, and if that doesn't work, I'll even sell the Longing Bracelet!"

  "Others have given up, everyone has given up, but you're still holding on, Xiao Dou. I really admire your stubbornness."

  "Master!" Zhao Kai rushed in with a distressed expression: "Those five junior brothers and six junior sisters have failed again, what to do?"

  Xiao Dou stood up with a smile, took off the bracelet on her wrist and threw it to him, smiling carelessly: "It's nothing, failing a few more times doesn't matter, go sell this and buy more herbs for Jin Yuan Dan, and also..."

  "That's it!" Water Fairy shouted in a fit of rage: "You stinky little bean, I'm really fed up with you! Little beauty, go get the two of you the equipment for making dan, anyway, at the stage of forming dan, it's time to change to law-abiding artifact-level manufacturing tools. Also, if this time still doesn't work out, then sell everyone's flying swords! In short, artifacts can't be sold!"

  Xiao Mei just smiled and didn't say anything, but Xiao Xiao had a murderous expression and said angrily:

  "Xiao Dou, remember this: if you don't return it to me in the future, I'll get rid of you!"
