Cultivating Immortality Begins with Rejuvenation.

Chapter 23: See the Immortal Shadow
Legend has it that the immortals left a treasure for the royal family to use, which can transmit sound thousands of miles away.

Every ten years, when the Immortal Ceremony Day approaches, the immortals will send a message to the emperor.

At this moment, the golden bell rang, indicating that the immortal had conveyed the message to the emperor.

"I'm finally going to see the immortal!" Li Ji'an couldn't help but feel excited.

After traveling through this world and living as a human for three lifetimes, I still don’t know what kind of “immortals” this world is?
Is it the kind of immortal in "A Mortal's Journey to Immortality" or the kind of immortal in "The Jade Emperor of Heaven"?

But none of this matters. As long as it's not an "immortal" like Dao Weiyixian, he can accept it.

"The golden bell has rung, and the immortal master will descend in about ten days. Have you mastered the Floating Pingbu?" The argument was interrupted by the ninth ring of the golden bell. Ning Sujin no longer insisted on the previous topic, and her tone was filled with vague worry.

Li Ji'an also felt doubtful.

Because as soon as they met today, he asked Ning Sujin about Ning Yutan's fortune, and the answer he got was that it had not changed.

Originally, he thought that the disaster would happen on the road, but the crisis on the road was resolved, and even now it is still a disaster, which made Li Ji'an think more.

Will there be a crisis in the next few days before the Immortal Master arrives?

still is……

It can't be that there will still be crises after following the immortal master to ascend to the immortal world, right?

"I've mastered it!" Feeling Ning Sujin's worry, Ning Yutan suppressed the smug look that was about to show and told the truth.

Ning Sujin glanced at her sideways: "Whether you believe it or not, my feeling about you is still a bad omen! Be more careful in everything, even if it means following the Immortal Master to ascend to heaven..."

“…” Ning Yutan’s eyes suddenly widened, staring at Ning Sujin in disbelief.

Will it be very dangerous to follow the immortal master?

This statement is truly outrageous. If outsiders heard it, they would certainly be accused of disobeying the immortal master.

For a moment, she found it difficult to tell whether the "omen of great misfortune" that Ning Sujin had been talking about was an illusion or something else.

When she was just elected as the Immortal Seedling, Ning Sujin casually said "great disaster", and she thought the other party was cursing her. Later, when she was seriously reminded of the great disaster on the road, she took it seriously. As a result, it turned out that she had escaped a disaster. She thought that Ning Sujin had received a secret reminder from the Su family, and she felt grateful to them.

But at this moment, the other party actually said that she was very evil, and even said that following the immortal master would also be very evil.

This forced her to reconsider what Ning Sujin said.

"Could it be that the hysteria that was spread about this old woman in her early years is true?" She couldn't help but look at Ning Sujin with a strange look in her eyes.

Seeing that familiar look of distrust, Ning Sujin's face instantly darkened: "It's hard to persuade that damned ghost with kind words! Just pretend I didn't say anything."

"Yutan, don't you know Sister Jin's character? Do you think she would talk nonsense with you unless she was sure? It's better to believe it than not. Be careful in everything." Seeing that the two sisters broke down in the conversation again, Li Ji'an persuaded them.

Ning Yutan looked at Li Ji'an, and out of the corner of his eye he saw Ning Sujin's gloomy expression. He nodded obediently, "Yes, Brother Li is right. I will be more careful. Thank you."

"You should thank your sister!" Li Ji'an smiled and shook his head.

"Who needs her thanks!" Ning Sujin snorted coldly and simply turned around.

Li Ji'an smiled bitterly, thought about it, and finally said nothing more. Anyway, the immortal master would take Ning Yutan away in ten days, and it would soon be clear how the two enemies would part.

"Ning Xianmiao, the Palace Master has ordered you to go to the Immortal Palace immediately!" At this moment, a duck-like voice came from outside the courtyard.

The so-called Palace Master is the current emperor.

Once you enter Xunxian Palace, you must be addressed as the Palace Master, not the Emperor.

Ning Yutan didn't dare to delay and hurriedly pushed the door open and walked out.

When Ning Sujin saw Ning Yutan leave the house, she did not hesitate and even seemed to deliberately avoid being alone with Li Ji'an.

Li Ji'an raised his eyebrows slightly, feeling a bit amused and helpless: "Sister Jin..."

"It's still the same as before, no bad signs!" Ning Sujin interrupted him and gave the result.

"Sister Jin, please stay! I'm not asking about good or bad luck." Li Ji'an explained hurriedly.

Ning Sujin was slightly surprised and subconsciously stopped: "You don't even worry about whether it's good or bad?"

"Not really. That means there are two things." Li Ji'an smiled cheekily.

"Oh, I was saying. What else?"

"Where did you see the immortal ten years ago? Were you discovered by the Immortal Master?" Li Ji'an spoke frankly. According to the information he had gathered over the past two months, when an immortal master descended upon the mortal world, mortals avoided him, forbidding any spectators from peeping. Of course, this was a rule established by the emperor. At least once, someone had accidentally stumbled upon an immortal master descending upon the mortal world, and the immortal master hadn't reacted, only for the emperor to intervene and impose a severe punishment.

"You want to see the immortal too?"

"If I go to see the immortal, will it be good or bad?"

"Just follow me then." Ning Sujin smiled confidently.

"Thank you, Sister Jin!"

Li Ji'an felt relieved after receiving Ning Sujin's promise.

No matter what, he must not give up the hope of becoming an immortal, but he is still worried about the unknown immortal world. He can only try his best to avoid some risks and see the "immortal" first to rule out those "immortals" that are fake at first glance.

After seeing Ning Sujin off and just about to close the door, a small figure walked over timidly.

Li Ji'an frowned slightly, feeling helpless as he looked at Zhao Yunsheng, who was not even ten years old.

Zhao Yunsheng, the legitimate grandson of Prince Yun, should have been enjoying wealth and glory in Yunzhou, but because of the incident of killing the immortal seedlings three months ago, he was sent to the Immortal Palace by Prince Yun a few days ago.

The most important thing is that his talent is not outstanding and he is not qualified to enter the Immortal Palace. The reason he was allowed in as an exception is obviously to serve as a hostage.

As luck would have it, the room this boy was assigned to was next to Li Ji'an's.

For some reason, when I heard that Li Ji'an was from Chong'an Prefecture, I felt closer to him.

"Brother Li, are those two sisters from the Duke of Dingguo's Mansion?"

"Yes, you also know Duke Dingguo?" Li Ji'an suddenly realized something and asked a rhetorical question.

Zhao Yunsheng blinked his eyes: "I...I heard it from my grandfather."

"Did your grandfather ask you to spend more time with the young ladies of the Duke's Mansion?"

"Yes...oh, no, no, no..."

Li Ji'an wanted to say more, but in the end he shook his head and said no more. He had no interest in getting involved in these things.

"What's up?"

"I'm still scared when I'm alone, and I want to sleep with you."

Li Ji'an sneered, "Didn't we agree yesterday that this would be the last night?

Besides, this is Xunxian Palace, the safest place in the world. Immortal masters will come here, so you can rest assured.

Besides, your cousin is this year's Immortal Seedling, you can tell him if you have any requests."

"My grandfather won't let me!"

"Brother Li...my dear brother..."

"Forget it, forget it. It's the same old rule. If you wet the bed, you have to go outside with the quilt on your head to dry in the sun." Seeing the little guy's timid look, Li Ji'an finally relented and agreed.

As the day of the Immortal Master's arrival draws near, the entire Immortal Palace becomes busy.

The eight immortal seedlings were all placed in the core immortal palace, where outsiders could not see them.

It was not until the early morning of the eighth day that Li Ji'an finally received Ning Sujin's call.

"I've deduced over and over again, and even hiding in the compartment of the Fairy Palace's side building right now won't be a bad omen! This is also the place where you can see the fairies up close."

It was not until they were near the compartment of the fairy palace's side building that Li Ji'an once again received a passive sense of no bad omen. The two of them just happened to perfectly avoid the golden knife guards who were changing shifts and the shadow guards who were attracted by a flying bird on the west side, and successfully hid in the narrow compartment.

The compartment is the ventilation hole of the main hall, with honeycomb-shaped ventilation holes inside and outside. Not only can you see the situation above the main hall, but you can also get a glimpse of some scenes inside the main hall.

The only thing that was not considered was that the compartment was too small. After the two of them entered, there was almost no extra space. Their bodies had to be pressed tightly together, even their faces touching.

And just after the two of them squeezed in, the sound of patrolling guards came from outside.

This means that the two of them need to stay in the compartment at least until the immortal master leads the immortal seedling to ascend before they can go out.

At least three days and three nights!
