Volume 1: Mortal World Chapter 2 (3) Leaving the Mountain

  The pink suspender girl pulled up her suspender, the previous one was broken by the tree, now it's very embarrassing, with a slightly red face. She tied a knot on the suspender, but the spring light that should be exposed still came out, but fortunately it's not the era of more than 50 years ago, nowadays girls are much more open-minded and confident.

  The pink suspender girl walked up to Lin Xingbai and said, "Hello, my name is Gong Xiaolu. I'm glad to meet you. Thank you for saving me. If it weren't for you, this task assigned by the dead master of our sect wouldn't have been completed, and we wouldn't be able to learn the next level of martial arts."

  Lin Xingbai also understood that it seemed that the pink ribbon girl, Gong Xiaolu, was on a path where she could hunt bears with her bare hands as an assessment. If she passed, she would be allowed to learn the next level of martial arts. As a result, she ended up being chased by Bear Blind Child.

  When speaking, Lin Xingbai saw a small movement of Gong Xiaolu, the girl took out a blue-green ball and shone it on herself, then her expression changed greatly, her pretty face suddenly became somewhat pale. Lin Xingbai turned his hand over, and before Gong Xiaolu could react, the blue-green ball had already fallen into Lin Xingbai's eyes.

  "Over three hundred." Lin Xingbai read the data on the small sphere, feeling a bit strange, and didn't know what this "over five hundred" meant. He asked his father, who was a teacher, and had been strictly managed by his father since he was young: "What does 'over three hundred' mean?"

  Jade Xiao Lu's face turned pale, and she knew that the small orb was a new product developed by the current Xiuzhen world with the help of technological power. It had been popular for less than ten years, but almost everyone had one. This thing could detect cultivation levels below 300 years, allowing people in the Xiuzhen world to know each other's abilities.

  Gong Xiaolu had just used a small orb - the power meter, to measure Lin Xingbai's abilities. The result was that he exceeded the maximum value in an instant, directly reaching the maximum value. Gong Xiaolu was naturally shocked, thinking that deep in the mountains and old forest, perhaps Lin Xingbai was some kind of hidden, powerful old devil who had been in seclusion for many years.

  Lin Xingbai was not satisfied, and pressed for an answer. Gong Xiaolu stuttered: "That's a measuring device for one's power, it can only measure up to 300 years of cultivation, but not above 300 years. Your power exceeds 300 years, so it shows 'above 300'."

  It turned out to be the case, Lin Xingbai naturally knew that in the past 50 years, he had never interrupted his cultivation, and the ancient witch tribe's kung fu he practiced was particularly fierce. Now, with over 2,000 years of power, it exceeded three hundred years by a large margin.

  "It turned out to be this matter." Lin Xingbai said: "After being closed for fifty years, I didn't know that such a powerful instrument had appeared."

  Lin Xingbai's words were ambiguous, and Gong Xiaolu listened to them, indeed a recluse for many years. However, judging from the tone of his voice, he didn't seem like an old devil, but rather a senior fellow of the righteous path. He respectfully shouted: "Junior asks Senior if you are well."

  Lin Xingbai didn't bother to explain his witch tribe identity, the witch tribe had been extinct for tens of thousands of years, and explaining was also troublesome. Anyway, he was already over 70 years old now, and being a senior to a young girl in her early twenties was more than enough, so he simply accepted it calmly.

  Since Lin Xingbai acknowledged him as a senior, Gong Xiaolu didn't dare to be presumptuous anymore. With a respectful face, he was a powerful person with over 300 years of cultivation in the Xiuzhen world.

  Jing Xiaolu thought to himself, with only thirty years of cultivation, it's really pitiful. However, practicing is too bitter, sitting in meditation is unbearable, and cultivating in solitude isn't enjoyable at all.

  Ling Xuebai also asked curiously: "The Taoist cultivation method should not have such a big difference, how can you only have thirty years of power?"

  In the records of Da Wu Bi Suo, he once traveled through the cultivation world with his divine thoughts and wrote a book called "Travel Notes of the Cultivation World". Lin Xingbai also translated it. Although it is said to be the cultivation world several thousand years ago, according to reason, in just a few thousand years, even if the cultivation world has regressed, it should not have fallen to this level yet.

  "This year, with so many enjoyable things in the world, such as cosmetics, fashion shows, and dance parties..., where is there so much time to practice? In fact, I will practice, it's just that I want to keep my youth lasting a little longer."

  This reason, Lin Xingbai was shocked and also understood that the rolling red dust, the hundred thousand temptations, is no longer the world recorded in Bi Suo's notes. The current cultivation world should be weaker now. As time goes on, the cultivation world becomes weaker.

  As they spoke, Gong Xiaolu was no longer as afraid of Lin Xingbai. It seemed that Lin Xingbai still had a bit of the air of a proper senior about him. As he spoke, his original liveliness returned: "It's rare, indeed, to see someone like you, Senior, who has been in seclusion for over fifty years. Even in our own sect, those elder masters rarely stay hidden away for so long - it's been ages since we've seen anyone go into seclusion for ten years or more."

  At this time, Lin Xingbai smiled slightly and felt that there was a big change. He didn't rush to ask questions, but followed Gong Xiaolu to her place and would ask slowly later, because Lin Xingbai had too many things he wanted to ask, and for the time being, he couldn't handle them all at once.

  Gong Xiaolu tilted her ponytail, and her black hair brushed against: "Generally, seniors who come out of seclusion want to know how many years they have been disconnected from the world and what changes have taken place. You asked me for help just now, is it also because of this?"

  What a clever girl! Lin Xingbai praised, with an approving smile, now quite having the demeanor of an elder. In fact, she is indeed considered an elder, the young girl in front of him being more than fifty years younger, a huge gap.

  "Alright, follow me then." Gong Xiaolu was also delighted in her heart. Generally, with this kind of elderly senior, if you get to know them well and handle the relationship well, later on when you can't win a fight, you can pull out these seniors, who would dare to show off in front of Her Highness?

  Jing Xiaolu was unwilling to practice hard and naturally wanted to take this shortcut.

  Down the mountain, Xiao Lu led the way, and Lin Xingbai followed. Instead of heading out of the mountain, they headed deeper into it. Palace Little Lu brushed her hair: "No choice, who made our sect's oldest base built inside Changbai Mountain, and a group of old seniors refused to move out."

  "So every time I want to practice the next level of gongfa, I have to come to Changbai Mountain."

  Lin Xingbai followed behind, only to feel that Gong Xiaolu's figure was indeed good, with a slender waist that could be grasped in one hand. Moreover, wearing low-waisted pants, the exposed waistline was especially noticeable when she bent down to tie her shoelaces, and the curved line of her buttocks made Lin Xingbai's mouth slightly dry. Her long, white legs also dazzled Lin Xingbai's eyes.

  However, Changbai Mountain is so vast that after asking how long it would take to walk, Gong Xiaolu replied that it would take half a day. Lin Xingbai became impatient and directly picked up Gong Xiaolu, flying into the sky: "I'll fly, you navigate, this way we can go faster."

  Gong Xiaolu was shocked again, in the cultivation world, as long as one has more than 100 years of cultivation, they can fly independently with their own power. Of course, it's common to borrow a flying sword or cloud energy, but not using external objects to fly directly is an extremely high-level technique in the cultivation world.

  Moreover, flying is usually done alone, as it's indeed difficult to bring someone along. Anyway, Guan Xiaolü has never seen any seniors in the sect fly with others. Take Journey to the West for example, Sun Wukong can fly by himself, but he absolutely won't bring Tang Sanzang along, which was influenced by Wu Cheng'en's thoughts on the cultivation world.

  Ordinary people have a muddy fetus and bring up a child who will oppress others.

  Lin Xingbai not only didn't borrow any external objects, but directly flew himself and could even bring others with him. At this time, Gong Xiaolu was also stunned. What kind of monstrous strength was this? She wondered to herself if she had encountered an old freak from many years ago.
