192: Section 192

Then he told you that what you ate was a Thousand-Year Zhu Fruit. Normally, eating one was already a great blessing. Now that you've eaten so many, it's no exaggeration to say you're blessed with good fortune.

Hearing this, you immediately took out the remaining six fruits.

"Immortal, these are the fruits I have left. Please, Immortal, do not despise them. Consider them my apprenticeship gift!"

Seeing your actions, the Daoist immediately felt you were a teachable Disciple.

Then he told you his identity.

He was Immortal Master True Person Yichen, the Junior Brother of the current Shu Mountain Sect Head. If you were willing, you could return to Shu Mountain with him.

However, before that, you had to find your parents and ask if they agreed!

Chapter 158: Bai Ningshuang as a Child, Eight Hundred Years Ago

Immortal Master True Person Yichen brought you to Little Stone Village. When your parents learned that you had met an Immortal while climbing the mountain, their eyes were filled with disbelief.

But upon seeing Immortal Master True Person Yichen effortlessly throw his Immortal sword into the sky, where it hovered, your parents immediately knelt down, pleading for him to accept you as his Disciple.

However, Immortal Master True Person Yichen then told you and your parents that to enter Shu Mountain, you would need to pass many trials.

If you couldn't pass, he would still send you back.

You felt a little flustered when you heard this, but you had always had smooth sailing since childhood, so you didn't take this matter to heart. You only kept thinking about how to pass the upcoming challenges.

Soon, under the eager gaze of your parents, you followed Immortal Master True Person Yichen and left Little Stone Village.

Later, you heard that to celebrate your entry into the Immortal School, the villagers of Little Stone Village spontaneously held a three-day and three-night feast.

Soon, you arrived at Shu Mountain.

In the image, a magnificent, fairyland-like place appeared before Su Mo.

On the continuous mountain ranges, pavilions and towers were intertwined, enveloped in cloud mist like a light veil.

Occasionally, Spirit Beasts leaped through the mountains, and cranes soared in the sky, scattering auspicious clouds.

Some Cultivators flew in the air, occasionally letting out exclamations of surprise.

The main hall, Qiankun Hall, was even more magnificent, with upturned eaves, intricate carvings, and painted beams, presenting a solemn and majestic scene.

Su Mo in the simulation was currently brought before that main hall.

This must be Shu Mountain.

It was Su Mo's first time seeing such a magnificent headquarters of an Earth Immortal Realm School.

It seemed its foundation was no less than Mount Emei's.

If only he could have such a Holy Land in the future.

Then he and his women would live there... Subsequently, Su Mo looked at the beauty sleeping soundly in his arms. Her watery brows held a hint of charm and tenderness.

After these days of development, Xu Miaoyin exuded an astonishing, beautiful, and mature Aura at all times.

If it weren't for the current major crisis that required him to Cultivate, he would probably spend all day in bed, unable to get up.

For a moment, Su Mo's thoughts drifted.

He thought of the beautiful woman's mature, loving face, her plump and voluptuous figure actively settling... However, as he still needed to observe the simulation, Su Mo resisted the urge to disturb her.

Now, finishing the observation of this simulation was the most important thing.

Especially this time's talent, Blessed with Good Fortune.

Although it was only a purple talent, Su Mo felt it was even more important than a golden talent.

If he could obtain it, he would have more confidence in facing the upcoming life-and-death crisis...

You were brought to Shu Mountain by Immortal Master True Person Yichen. Looking at the mountain peaks that were a hundred times more beautiful than Tianzhu Mountain, your heart was filled with anticipation.

As if sensing your excitement, True Person Yichen couldn't help but pour cold water on you.

"Boy, the upcoming trials are difficult. If you can't endure them, you might as well leave now."

"You can take those Zhu Fruits with you as well."

When you heard Immortal Master True Person Yichen's words, you immediately understood that he was testing you, and you replied at once.

"Immortal, those Zhu Fruits are my filial offering to you, Senior."

"There's no reason to take back something that has been given away."

"If I fail the test, it's because I'm not capable, and no one else is to blame."

Seeing you respond so appropriately, Immortal Master True Person Yichen said nothing more, but led you into the Qiankun Hall.

After entering the Qiankun Hall, you realized it was already filled with Immortals.

Yes, at this moment, you didn't yet know the concept of a Cultivator. To you, all these people were Immortals.

There were about thirty of them, with only two female Immortals. Standing at the very front was an old man with white hair and a white beard.

True Person Yichen stepped forward and introduced your background.

Upon learning that you had eaten dozens of Zhu Fruits, everyone was very curious.

They wondered what your Cultivation speed would be once you started.

Everyone began to discuss, and you could vaguely hear discussions about you, using terms like "Pure Yang Spirit," "Yin and Yang Duality," "Accumulation of Yin to Form," and "Immortal Nobility," which you couldn't understand at all.

Facing such a grand scene, you felt a little flustered.

After all, you were still just an eight-year-old child.

Finally, after discussion, everyone unanimously decided that your trials must continue.

They could not break the School rules just because you had received a blessing and good fortune.

Ultimately, you were sent to the Shu Mountain miscellaneous courtyard.

Here, you had to fetch water and chop firewood daily, waiting for the day the School deemed you worthy to join Shu Mountain.

And in this miscellaneous courtyard, there were already two other small children.

One boy and one girl.

The boy had a simple and honest face, full of childishness.

The girl was innocent and lovely, full of curiosity about you.

After an initial understanding, you learned their names.

One was Zhang Cangfeng, ten years old this year. The other was Bai Ningshuang, six years old this year.

Both of them had been taken in by Shu Mountain some time ago. You all needed to undergo trials together until Shu Mountain deemed you qualified to enter the School.

In this miscellaneous courtyard, you and Zhang Cangfeng shared a room, while Bai Ningshuang had her own room.

After some time together, you became familiar with both of them and learned their backgrounds.

Zhang Cangfeng came from a place in the Earth Immortal Realm called Yuhua Prefecture. It was said that his ancestor once had an old acquaintance with a demon king who served in the Heavenly Court and was once gifted a strand of the demon king's hair.

That demon king was quite domineering, saying that if a descendant with Immortal affinity appeared in Zhang Cangfeng's Family, that descendant could take this strand of hair to find an Immortal School and join it.

Coincidentally, a Senior from Shu Mountain went to Yuhua Prefecture to handle some matters. Zhang Cangfeng took out this strand of hair, forcing this Senior to bring him back to Shu Mountain.

Bai Ningshuang's story was much simpler. She was the daughter of a large Family near Shu Mountain.

The Bai Family made offerings to Shu Mountain every year, so they were quite familiar with some Shu Mountain Immortals.

When she was born, the pond in the courtyard was covered with ice lotus flowers, and for several days, the old Bai Family residence was filled with an extraordinary fragrance.

Upon learning this, Shu Mountain proactively took her in when she was six years old.

Su Mo guessed at this point.

This Bai Ningshuang should be the Reincarnation of a Loose Immortal.

She might even have some connection with Shu Mountain, which is why they proactively took her in.

Otherwise, merely being the Reincarnation of a Loose Immortal wouldn't be enough to join a major Immortal School like Shu Mountain.

Dream Hongshang had mentioned in a previous simulation.

There was a Loose Immortal who had lived for several hundred years but lacked sufficient good fortune and couldn't join these prestigious Schools.

To join Kunlun, he even lowered his seniority, becoming a Disciple of a third-generation Kunlun Disciple at the time, barely managing to join.

From this, it was clear how strict the admission requirements of these Immortal Schools were...

As time passed, you gradually felt a bit bored.

Because half a year had passed, and no one had come to take you to Cultivate. You felt that constantly fetching water and chopping firewood in this miscellaneous courtyard was a waste of time.

Eventually, you couldn't stand the loneliness and often took advantage of fetching water to swim and play in the pond at the foot of Shu Mountain.

When Zhang Cangfeng learned of your actions, he advised you not to do so, because the Immortals were always watching the three of you.

You, however, paid no mind to this, believing that as long as you completed your daily tasks of fetching water, chopping firewood, and cleaning, no one else could control what you did.

Seeing you say this, Zhang Cangfeng, helpless, no longer bothered with you. He continued to exceed his daily tasks, hoping to gain the favor of the Shu School Immortals.

Bai Ningshuang, however, envied your carefree state and would stand by the pond every day, watching you swim.

You saw this and gestured for Bai Ningshuang to come down and play.

Although you could take a hot bath every few days, you would soon be covered in sweat again due to excessive perspiration.

Bai Ningshuang was eager to try. Seeing this, you went straight up and stripped her clothes down to her bellyband, then took her into the water.

At this age, you hadn't yet awakened to matters of men and women, unaware of what such an action meant for a girl.

She couldn't swim and choked on a few mouthfuls of water as soon as she entered the pond.

"Ah, help!"

Bai Ningshuang's small body clung to you like an octopus; this was an instinctive reaction of someone drowning.

You were terrified, not knowing Bai Ningshuang couldn't swim. Because you had swallowed the little people, little horses, and Thousand-Year Zhu Fruit, your body's strength had become immense, and you directly dragged Bai Ningshuang to shore.

After quickly dressing her, you looked at Bai Ningshuang with a guilty conscience.

Bai Ningshuang's big eyes were filled with fear. She hadn't expected the pond to be so terrifying.

But why were you playing so happily in it?

Seeing this, you secretly approached Bai Ningshuang, begging her not to tell anyone about this.

"Ning Shuang, Ning Shuang, please don't tell anyone about this."

"If the Immortals find out you almost drowned because of me, I'll probably be expelled from the School."

Upon hearing your words, Bai Ningshuang nodded obediently.

"Brother Su, it's not your fault. I wanted to go down too."

Seeing Bai Ningshuang like this, you breathed a sigh of relief.

"Alright, then let's keep this secret forever, okay?"

"Okay!"

"Su Mo, Ning Shuang, hurry up and fetch water, or you won't finish it!"

Just as you breathed a sigh of relief, Zhang Cangfeng had already poured the water from his buckets into the water vat in the miscellaneous courtyard and walked back down.

You quickly got up when you saw this.

"Okay!"

Since this incident, Bai Ningshuang, due to her fear of the pond, no longer dared to stand by its edge and watch you swim in it.
