27: Chapter 27 Immortal in the Mortal World

[Congratulations to the host for completing the task: Join the righteous sect Xuantian Sword Sect!]

[Reward received: Simulation Attempts * 3]

[As the number one fairy of the righteous path, you not only have a shocking appearance, but also possess supreme talent and invincible combat power.]

[Main quest now issued: Make a stunning debut.]

[One year from now, sweep the Doujian Peak grand competition!]

[Quest reward: Simulation Attempts * 3]

The words that reached the lips of Lin Qingyu were forcibly swallowed back.

Sweep the Doujian Peak grand competition? Does not that mean she has to join Doujian Peak?

But the beautiful woman in the main hall was a Golden Core cultivator; how could she tactfully refuse without offending the face of the other party?

Her gaze suddenly swept over a black-haired middle-aged man. Lin Qingyu had seen this person once before; he was precisely Ling Shuanghua's grandfather, the First Elder of Doujian Peak!

"Got it!"

Lin Qingyu restrained her aura so tightly not a single drop leaked out, yet a sharp momentum surged around her body.

"This is?"

The middle-aged man, who had originally been resting with his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes.

"Born Sword Intent?!"

The path of immortality cultivation went against the heavens, but in this world, there were always rebellious children favored by the heavens.

Those with a Born Sword Intent could comprehend the true meaning of the sword through self-enlightenment even if they had never stepped into cultivation before.

Such talent could be called the darling of the Sword Dao. Once holding a sword, it was like a swimming dragon returning to the sea, advancing a thousand li in a single day—nothing out of the ordinary.

However, the beautiful woman furrowed her brows slightly, secretly thinking it was bad.

When this group of sword-practicing madmen encountered a genius, regardless of your identity, they would not give you a shred of face.

"This girl must enter my Doujian Peak!"

Sure enough, the middle-aged man straightened his back slightly, and a shocking Sword Intent erupted from within him, making even the air tremble.

"On what basis?"

Although the beautiful woman was unwilling to provoke the other party, she would not back down just like that.

"Alright."

The old Daoist sitting in the primary seat flicked the horsetail whisk in his hand with a warm smile.

"Let this child choose for herself."

Hearing this, Lin Qingyu immediately stepped forward and bowed deeply to the beautiful woman.

"Thank you, Senior, for your kindness, but this junior feels closer to the Sword Dao."

Hearing this, the beautiful woman opened her mouth, and after a moment, let out a soft sigh.

"Forget it. If you find living in Doujian Peak unsatisfactory, you may come to my Mingxiao Peak at any time."

The woman did not force the issue. After all, Lin Qingyu only had triple spiritual roots and was not some earth-shattering prodigy; she simply harbored a heartfelt fondness for beauties.

"Good, good, good!"

The middle-aged man nodded with satisfaction, and then a streak of black light descended in front of Lin Qingyu.

As the light dissipated, a pitch-black token was revealed, with the character 'Dou' inscribed upon it, brimming with intersecting sword Qi.

"This is the personal disciple token of Doujian Peak. From now on, you are this old man's third disciple."

Joy flashed across the face of Lin Qingyu. She hurriedly took the token and spoke loudly without any pretense:

"Disciple Lin Qingyu greets Master!"

"Mn, go."

The middle-aged man waved his hand, and as you turned around, his voice came again.

"There is no need to conceal your appearance from now on. With this old man around, no one in Doujian Peak can make things difficult for you. Remember that those who practice the sword must forge ahead courageously."

Lin Qingyu did not speak, only bowing deeply once more before turning around and striding away.

As soon as she walked out of the main hall, she saw a delightful scene.

For some unknown reason, Wang Hao was once again blocking the path of Lin Bufan, cursing and swearing...

Could this be the destiny of cannon fodder?

Seeing her walk out from the main hall, everyone's gazes converged on her.

Lin Qingyu calmly swept her gaze across the crowd without saying a word, but the black token at her waist had already answered all their questions for her.

The crowd automatically parted a path. Only after her figure gradually disappeared at the end of the plaza did scattered discussions arise among the crowd.

"That woman actually became a personal disciple!"

"Judging by her attire, she should have entered the sect together with us. Could she have some sort of background?"

"Master? How did she become a personal disciple just like that?"

Lin Bufan also looked at the back of Lin Qingyu with a mix of shock and suspicion.

"She probably has some hidden physique. The foundation of the Tianxuan Sword Sect is truly not weak; even this old man misjudged her."

The Ring Old Man muttered a sentence, still failing to see through any of the mysteries.

"There truly are countless outstanding heroes in this world!"

Lin Bufan sighed with emotion, also restraining a bit of his arrogance.

"Brat, this young master is talking to you. Can't you hear?"

Hearing Wang Hao still provoking him, the expression of Lin Bufan turned cold—there were simply too many idiots.

...

Lin Qingyu skillfully collected all her resources within the sect. Perhaps someone had already given word, as she was assigned an immortal cave with an extremely high concentration of spiritual Qi.

After entering the immortal cave, she activated all the restrictions and poured out all the resources she had collected from her storage bag.

Two sets of personal disciple attire, two hundred low-grade spirit stones, the cultivation method was still the Xuantian Sword Scripture, and a top-grade tier-one magical instrument long sword.

Furthermore, she could go to listen to a Golden Core elder lecture once a month, which was far better than the treatment received by inner sect disciples.

It was the difference between being raised at home and being left to roam wild.

After all, if inner and outer sect disciples wanted to listen to lectures, not only did they have to spend precious merit points, but most of the time it was just Foundation Establishment cultivators preaching from the altar.

This was precisely why Lin Qingyu had never gone to listen to any lectures in the previous simulation.

At that time, she had the all-powerful Ring Old Man, a son of destiny, by her side, so she didn't need anyone else to teach her at all.

After sorting everything out, Lin Qingyu happily bathed and cleansed her body in the immortal cave's spiritual spring. Then, she removed her disguise technique and changed into the snow-white personal disciple attire.

The outer robe featured wide sleeves and a fitted waist with clean tailoring, while the high-collared inner lining tightly bound her body, outlining her slender and upright figure.

Her dark hair was tied up high into a bun, secured by only a white jade hairpin, with a few strands of hair scattered casually across her forehead, making her eyebrows and eyes appear all the more sharp.

The entire outfit lacked any complicated decorations, displaying a cultivator's solemn purity while retaining a heroic spirit.

Whoever saw her couldn't help but sigh inwardly: What a cold, ethereal female sword immortal!

"So handsome it's badass."

After Lin Qingyu thoroughly narcisistically admired herself in front of the bronze mirror for a while, she sat cross-legged on the futon with a solemn expression.

'System, simulate!'

[Drawing talent traits...]

[Obtained trait: Red Dust Immortal (Red)]

[Red Dust Immortal: Without avoiding the mortal fireworks of the secular world, all thousands of obsessive thoughts become immortality.]

[Not cultivating the spiritual Qi of heaven and earth, nor refining the essence of the sun and moon, only using the human heart as a furnace and affectionate obsession as firewood.]

[(Note: This method requires refining emotional mist with Hehuan cultivation techniques, and the more resilient one's state of mind is, the stronger the emotional mist and the higher the reward!)]

Lin Qingyu: "..."

She seriously flipped back to the subtitles from when the system was first bound, and only then confirmed that it was a "righteous fairy" system rather than a "Hehuan witch" system.

But what was going on with this trait? First it was the Jade Marrow Physique, and now it was the Red Dust Immortal—wasn't this step-by-step forcing a good person into prostitution?

However, since it was a red-tier talent, the effect shouldn't be too shabby...

[Simulation begins]

[On the first day, looking at the newly appeared trait, you struggled for a long time, and after night fell, you still chose to step out of the immortal cave.]

["Junior Brother, can you come out to meet me?"]

[You stood outside Lin Bufan's immortal cave, deciding to take action starting from this well-acquainted good buddy.]

["You... Who are you?"]

[A moment later, a youth with an impatient look walked out of the immortal cave. When he saw your appearance clearly, his face instantly turned as red as a monkey's backside.]

[After all, your appearance and temperament had undergone earth-shattering changes compared to last time.]

["Lin Qingyu."]

[You introduced yourself with a calm expression.]

["It's you!"]

[Lin Bufan widened his eyes, and remembering what he had said back at the testing plaza, for a moment he lowered his head in shame.]

["Could you invite me in to sit?"]

["Oh... Okay... Okay."]

[Lin Bufan dazedly welcomed you into the immortal cave and casually asked:]

["I wonder what noble business Senior Sister has in coming here?"]

["To dual cultivate with you."]

["Oh... Ah???????"]
