Chapter 27: For You, I'll Be Still; For You, I'll Bloom

  It's just that this little bean was forced to cultivate, and one day it was suddenly taken out by Young Master Leng to have fun. Not even Shuixian stopped him, how is this possible? Along the way, there was also a mid-term sword master flying in the sky with the two of them, almost making Little Bean ecstatic~

  This line actually reached the main peak of Jiuhua Mountain, which he had never been to before - Zhongyang Peak!

  That magnificent palace, the precious herbs all over the ground, the extraordinary spiritual beasts, the elegant and subtle small bridges and flowing water scenery, the flying figures of the celestial heroes everywhere, it's really a place where one can linger on and forget to leave, what a comfortable feeling!

  What a beautiful view, but Xiao Dou was now dazed and confused, with an expression like that of a country bumpkin in the city, looking left and right, touching this and that, wiping his hands on his clothes, and yet his forehead had the purest golden sand that everyone envied. Truly worthy of Xiao Dou, who has everything both in heaven and on earth!

  Leng Han led his embarrassing little brother on the road, almost to the point of drawing a knife and committing suicide. He had to pretend to be elegant and dignified from time to time, greeting acquaintances who came and went. It was really too difficult!

  In that elegant palace, everything was surrounded by famous calligraphy and paintings, ancient historical books, silk fabrics, poetic antiques, furniture, magical lanterns emitting light, the fragrance of flowers, a few wisps of elegance, the serene tea aroma, the fireplace, comfortable woolen blankets... Little Bean could never forget that scene - the jade-like delicate hand holding a bamboo scroll to read, the girl wearing a flower-patterned skirt, when she turned around and smiled, then ran over with a lovely smile to say something... What was it again?

  Xiao Dou couldn't hear clearly because at this moment, he was completely overwhelmed by her beauty!

  The girl's figure is slender and delicate, with a captivating oval face like an egg, fair and radiant complexion, lovely bright forehead, eyebrows like distant mountains, large phoenix eyes that hold endless scenery, so beautiful, so dazzling. Her small nose supports her noble and extraordinary temperament, and her mischievous mouth makes one want to kiss it hard. Her long black hair cascades down to her waist like a waterfall, and the most striking feature is her enchanting face. Oh heavens! Did you accidentally drop the most beautiful fairy from heaven to the mortal world?!

  After a while, Leng Hanming's face lit up with a sly smile and he pulled him over, saying: "Little silly bean, Miss Xiaofei is greeting you!"

  "Ah~" Xiaodou exclaimed, "Hello! Oh~ Xiaofei I'm greeting you, no no no, I mean hello to you too, nice to see you! Hehehe~"

  "Hehe~" Bai Xiaofei covered her small mouth, with a curious smile on her face, and said: "Han Ming Gege, why did you bring such a strange friend over? It's so interesting~"

  Once again, Xiao Dou fell into a daze, and Leng Han Yin trampled his foot with one foot and laughed loudly:

  "Ah ha ~ This is my brother, Xiao Dou, he's really good, talks about righteousness, unlike those under me, at most they just call each other friends. Come, Xiaofei, look what fun things we've found for you ~"

  Xiao Dou winced and took a deep breath, followed by Leng Han's cold hum and Bai Xiaofei's cheerful face, who walked into the hall with a smile, sat on the mat, eating desserts and chatting. The four maids around them stood stiffly, not moving at all, really having a strong aura!

  Xiao Dou's eyes scanned the scene, and she was immediately left speechless. They were all masters, and one of them was even an old monster in the Hua Shen stage. If there wasn't a beauty standing in front of her, Xiao Dou would have been eager to ask for their guidance on her cultivation, but with her there, Xiao Dou didn't care about anything else.

  At this moment, he was staring at Bai Xiaofei and Leng Hansheng with a red glow on his face, studying the small red handkerchief artifact.

  Is that enough to make her happy? If so, Xiaodou's heart would be willing to let her be happy for ten thousand years, countless years. At this moment, Xiaodou knew nothing, as if possessed by a spirit, he just wanted to be with her forever, always seeing her happiness, watching her smile!

  After a while, Leng Han Ming suddenly said: "Xiao Fei, aren't you curious about how powerful the first wheel of reincarnation in the divine realm is? Cough ~ my little brother knows a bit of skin and hair, let him demonstrate it to you, okay?"

  "Great! ~" Bai Xiaofei smiled and stared at Xiao Dou, saying: "Xiao Dou brother, quickly use the wheel eye to take a look at me, is it fun? ~"

  Xiao Dou's face immediately turned red, this old senior, obviously wanted to make himself look bad, his own wheel eye was useless, at most it could only see the flow of wind and react a bit faster, and replace Tianyan Tong to probe into someone else's cultivation.

  This is the end, he's definitely going to lose face. Just as he didn't know what to do, Bai Xiaofei pulled him by the hand, and together with Leng Hanming and many guards, they arrived at a vast open space outside.

  With just a little physical contact, Xiaodou suddenly fainted and smiled foolishly for half a day before being punched by Leng Hanming to wake up!

  Although it's embarrassing, although he's not good enough, but in front of that girl, a surge of heroic spirit burst out from Xiao Dou's heart, at that moment, Xiao Dou felt his whole body burning with passion, his aura soared to the sky, shaking the nine provinces, the sun, moon and stars, how could they be compared to him? He scorned everything, unconsciously, a scorching power erupted in the depths of his eyes, which were shaped like six water ripples...

  The cultivators watching from a distance shouted in shock. The boy didn't chant any incantations, nor did he form any seals with his hands. With just one glance, the heavens and earth shook, ghosts and gods wept, mountains and rivers changed, and the power of the Six Paths driving the laws of nature burst forth, sending the sturdy Mirror Stage designed for cultivators to compete flying without hesitation!

  "Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!" After the six loud explosions, Xiaodou felt as if the sky was falling and the earth was cracking open. His eyes turned black, and he immediately fainted, unaware of anything...

  In the grand hall of the Seismic Peak, an old man clad in a cyan long robe, with eyes emitting a chilling glare, spoke in an icy tone:

  "Is Fei okay?"

  In the empty and spacious great hall, a woman's voice suddenly appeared out of thin air, with an eerie and strange tone, saying faintly:

  "Hmph! With us protecting the young master, how could he possibly be injured by a Qi-refining beginner? It's just that the mirror platform used by the young master for cultivation was destroyed. Please, Mo Zhangmen, hurry up and repair it, and we'll be grateful!"

  At this time, Mo Zhangmen frowned and muttered to himself: "In the early stages of Qi practice, when did our sect have a low-ranking master like this? Even my deceased Shifu's senior sister, who was a great master in her later years after crossing the tribulation, didn't have such power. How is it possible for a young child like him?"

  The strange woman's voice said: "Emotions, the power of thoughts is boundless and immeasurable, how can we measure it? That young man is indeed interesting. Not to mention the worst talent, I've checked his body and he doesn't even have a single point of talent, yet he's actually an ordinary person, but he's managed to cultivate the Wheel of Reincarnation to such an extent that even those with extremely high talent can't achieve it, truly incredible!"

  Mo Zhangmen sighed and said, "No qualifications? What a pity! If he had any, I would have cultivated him, and he would definitely be a rising star. Hmm... Hasn't he left Fei'er yet? Hurry up and let him leave! Without spiritual awareness, he can't control the Wheel of Reincarnation at all. What if he hurts Fei'er? How could I face my sworn brother?"

  The woman let out a wry smile, her tone tinged with a hint of bitter love, and said: "You don't know Phi's temper yet. Anyone who gets hurt because of her, she won't rest until they're jumping around alive and kicking. Don't worry, that young man won't be waking up for several days. When he wakes up, we'll let him go then. With us old folks here, nothing will happen."

  Mo Zhuanmen nodded and said: "Then so be it, just come find me if you need anything." ...The voice immediately disappeared into the great hall.

  Xiao Dou never thought that just because of his inexplicably displayed power, he actually caught the attention of Mo Da, the powerful and awe-inspiring master of the Nine Glorious Mountains' great sect, which has tens of thousands of people. And once again, due to his innate talent, he lost another chance to survive!

  More than ten days later, Xiao Dou slowly opened his eyes and got out of bed in front of Bai Xiaofei, eating fifteen bowls of rice in a row. Leng Han was on the side, exasperated:

  "Aww, Xiao Doudou, can't you eat at home? I'm begging you, as the eldest, my face is completely lost because of you!"

  "Don't let him..." Bai Xiaofei's face lit up with a joyful smile: "He'll stay here for a few days, and when he's recovered from his injuries, he can leave. It's all because of me that he got hurt, haha, seeing him eat so much with such a big appetite makes me so happy!"

  Xiao Dou wiped his mouth, which was full of oil stains, and smiled foolishly after finishing a big bowl of soup.

  "Big brother, it's not me who made you lose face, it's Fei'er girl who wouldn't let me leave. This is just great, I'm so full... Oh no~ I'm hurt! No way, I need to recover from my injuries! I don't want to die!"

  "Are you not tired of dying?" Cold Huan suddenly rushed forward, grabbed his collar and laughed maniacally with excitement: "Xiao Dou~ You finally want to live, this is really great! I don't want to be without a talented and righteous younger brother like you!"

  Bai Xiaofei frowned with her delicate little face and asked anxiously: "Don't you want to live anymore? Why, isn't living great?"

  "What's wrong with me not wanting to live? When did I ever say that? What are you talking about, boss?"

  "Hmm..." Cold and stern, her eyes gleamed with a sharp light as she suddenly stared at Xiaodou with a serious expression, saying:

  "Xiao Dou, look into my eyes... what do you see? Desire, the desire to live. Do you see it? With this desire, one can be reborn, live on, and struggle to survive. If you have this desire too, perhaps on the path of cultivation, or maybe after a hundred years, you won't die either. The key is whether you have the determination to fight for life!"

  A small bean wiped the spit star on his face, and shouted crazily: "I don't want to die, I want to live, I want to struggle, I'm not afraid of anything!"

  "Clap, clap, clap!" Bai Xiaofei clapped her hands and giggled: "Xiao Dou, you have a kind of aura that I admire, it's the aura of a real man. I hope you work hard, okay? You'll definitely make it, Xiaofei believes in you!"

  At that moment, Xiaodou's body was filled with energy, endless energy. He bid farewell to Bai Xiaofei and Leng Lao Da, and stepped into the small valley alone, starting his desperate training!

  Arrived at the pure golden sand, longing for the bangle, gathering the spiritual law array, with enough elixir, after thousands and tens of thousands of times of day and night alternating in the sky, he still foolishly persisted in his cultivation!

  After bitter practice until the 94th year of his Taoist career, Xiao Dou's cultivation speed, which was like a cow cart, finally reached the middle stage of Qi Refining. The magical power of Xiantian Divine Art's second layer helped Xiao Dou to unblock all the Fa Li (mystical powers) he had accumulated since birth!

  Little Bean slowly discovered that his cultivation speed was faster than before, although not by much, but it really did increase by a few points. This tiny, almost imperceptible progress made Little Bean extremely excited, feeling like he had taken another step away from being a "mixed ball". It's truly exhilarating!

  To keep Xiao Dou confident and motivated to continue his cultivation, Leng Han would occasionally take him to Zhong Yang Peak to visit Bai Xiaofei. Every time they met, they would have a meal together like old friends. Bai Xiaofei would always prepare a large bowl of food for him, and they would savor the delicious flavors together. In that moment, Xiao Dou felt incredibly happy!

  And the younger brothers and sisters are all very talented, very united, unity is strength, with strength comes weight, which makes them exceptionally prominent in Lord Cold's team, and a few outstanding younger brothers and sisters are even among the best in this large team.

  Shuixian said: If nothing unexpected happens, it's possible for everyone to reach the Yu Jian period. As for the Jie Dan period, I estimate that by then, everyone will have to rely on their own abilities!

  But it's not something Xiao Dou should worry about, he still gets along well with everyone and laughs together. As long as he is there, there will be laughter, that's for sure!

  Moreover, he no longer had the ability to worry about future matters. All his fellow disciples had reached the middle or late stages of foundation building, and some had even entered the initial stages of sword cultivation!

  The lifespan of the Zhūjī period is one hundred and eighty years, including the small bean that eats the elixir of immortality. Everyone has this lifespan, but what about after one hundred and eighty years?

  If he doesn't reach the initial stage of Jianshen within 180 years, and get the 300-year lifespan of the Jianshen period, then he will die. Xiao Dou used nearly a hundred years to reach the middle stage of Lianqi, even if he reaches the foundation-building stage within 80 years, he won't have time to advance his cultivation and reach the Jianshen period!

  Sometimes when his younger fellow disciples looked at him with those dim eyes, they still revealed a hint of sadness. Xiaodou understood that it represented something...
