Cultivating Immortality Begins with Rejuvenation.

Chapter 25 Senior Brother is Critically Ill
As Ning Sujin's weak voice rang out, Li Ji'an originally only felt the warmth and softness on his lips, but now there was an additional hint of cool, wet, hot and smoothness.

"Sister Jin, I..." Just as I was about to explain, the feeling became even stronger as soon as I opened my mouth.

Ning Sujin's eyes widened instantly, and her face, which had just regained a bit of vitality, suddenly turned red with blood.

Realizing their current situation, neither of them spoke anymore and waited for the effect of the drug to wear off.

……

It was not until the early hours of the morning that their faces finally separated, and Ning Sujin tried her best to turn her head to the side.

Li Ji'an was finally able to move his neck.

"I took the initiative to sense it once before the Immortal Master appeared, and it was still a very bad omen. But I don't know if there has been any change after the Immortal Master came to the world." In order to ease the embarrassment, Ning Sujin directly told Li Ji'an what he cared about most.

Li Ji'an nodded slowly.

Ning Sujin's ability can only sense at close range, so it is normal that she cannot sense at this moment.

However, since the so-called immortal master is just a cultivator, and he needs the help of a flying boat to travel to the mortal world, he probably does not have the power to change people's fate.

Ning Yutan's bad omen is likely to remain unchanged.

From this perspective, following the immortal master to the world of cultivation is the root cause of the great disaster.

"Is it a crisis in the cultivation world, or a crisis brought about by the Immortal Master?" Li Ji'an didn't know, and he felt a little more apprehensive about this path of cultivation.

"Sister Jin, can you predict whether it will be good or bad if you become a fairy seedling?"

Ning Sujin shook her head: "Only things that can be confirmed can be predicted, and the time span varies from case to case."

"After this incident, I'm afraid the old emperor will have much higher requirements for the next Immortal Ceremony. You and I can only hope to achieve great success in refining our internal organs. Whether we can become immortals in this lifetime is unknown."

Feeling that Ning Sujin's attitude towards the emperor had obviously changed, Li Ji'an smiled knowingly.

After seeing with one's own eyes how he behaved in front of the Immortal Master, his lofty majesty and image naturally collapsed.

In particular, the message that the royal family conveyed to the world from the very beginning was that the immortal master was protecting them, the Zhao royal family, and the emperor was appointed by the immortal master. Disobeying the royal family was tantamount to disobeying the immortal.

"Everything depends on human effort!" Li Ji'an was not concerned about whether he could become an immortal in this world. He just said it casually, full of positive energy.

"What do you think of the Immortal Master?" After receiving encouragement from Li Ji'an, Ning Sujin no longer worried about the Immortal Canon ten years later, and instead couldn't help asking about the Immortal Master she had met.

Li Ji'an pondered for a moment and then offered a suggestion: "Perhaps he is similar to a martial arts master."

"Do you think so too?" Ning Sujin's beautiful eyes suddenly focused, and she looked at Li Ji'an in surprise, as if she saw a close friend.

"Why do you think so?" Li Ji'an was also a little curious about her understanding. After all, she was not like him who traveled from the present world and had read too many stories about immortal cultivators.

"More than a hundred years ago, the immortal master came to the world, but the natural disasters that were supposed to happen have never stopped. Those who do evil still do evil, and those who suffer still suffer. The immortal master has never sent down the nine-day divine thunder to punish evil and promote good... Apart from the fact that no one knows where he came from, he can fly in the sky and hide in the ground, and control treasures. How is he different from ordinary people?" Ning Sujin said bluntly.

Li Ji'an looked at Ning Sujin with a little more appreciation in his eyes.

"So this is why you took the initiative to teach Yu Tan's body skills? Do you think that ordinary martial arts can potentially defeat the immortal master and save the day?"

Ning Sujin nodded slowly.

Smart woman!
The next morning, the effects of the medicine had almost completely worn off for both of them.

Ning Sujin forced herself to sit up, finally leaving Li Ji'an's chest.

However, when his lower body was about to rise from Li Ji'an, it was unexpectedly blocked by something hard, and his already unstable lower body sat down again.

"Hiss~" Li Ji'an felt like his bones were about to break. He couldn't help but take a breath and sat up subconsciously.

Ning Sujin was also hit so hard that it hurt, as if she was about to be torn apart. She suddenly leaned forward and returned to Li Ji'an's arms.

Their eyes met for a moment before Ning Sujin reacted. "Bah! Beast!" Her face flushed red as she spat angrily. She pushed Li Ji'an away with a palm and stumbled out of the cubicle.

"..." Li Ji'an smiled bitterly. It was not his fault. It was a purely physiological reaction. After all, although his mental age was not young, his body was still full of vigor.
-
Having already seen the "immortal", he had an idea in his mind. With Ning Sujin's protection of "avoiding danger and seeking good fortune", Li Ji was able to concentrate on his practice as usual in the days that followed.

Thanks to the Immortal Master's dissatisfaction with this batch of immortal seedlings, the Immortal Palace has greatly increased its investment in these good seedlings.

No matter how he was exploited in the outside world, Li Ji'an really had plenty of resources in the Immortal Palace.

Two years later, Li Ji'an's blood transfusion was complete.

"I have completely mastered the essence of the Blood Exchange Realm. Even if my bones don't improve in my next life, I can still shorten the time by 30%." After pondering for a while, Li Ji'an's face showed joy.

Just as I finished my training, I heard familiar footsteps outside the door.

"Brother Li, your letter." Zhao Yunsheng, who has been confirmed to have no talent in martial arts, is still under house arrest in the Immortal Palace. He usually likes to play with Li Ji'an the most.

"The mechanism lock is also ready. Take it and play with it." When Li Ji'an took the letter, he threw the mechanism lock that Xiao Yunsheng had begged him for many days to him.

Xiao Yunsheng had no talent for martial arts, nor did he have the heart for it, he just liked carpentry. Coincidentally, Li Ji'an was also trying to control the stimulation of his qi and blood during his free time in cultivation, so he made one for him.

"Is this the clever mechanism you were talking about? Thank you, Brother Li." Zhao Yunsheng was ecstatic.

After watching Xiao Yunsheng go away, Li Ji'an opened the letter.

"Huh? Not from senior brother? That's bad..." Seeing Qingyun's handwriting on the envelope, Li Ji'an had a premonition.

As expected, when I opened the letter, I found bad news: Senior Brother Liu Deshan was sick.

He was too sick to write, so he had to ask Qingyun to write for him.

"Brother, you are now...just one year away from turning sixty. Can't you make it?" Although he has experienced three lives and understands that he should not take the life and death of old friends lightly, but the second person who was closest to him in his previous life is about to pass away, and Li Ji'an still feels a little lonely in his heart.

In the letter, Liu Deshan talked most about his previous life as "Li Jichang", recalling the good and bad times and reminiscing about the past.

Each and every one of them was so sincere and touching that Li Ji'an naturally still remembers it vividly.

At the end of the letter, he said that he did not see "Li Jichang" for the last time, and he always felt regretful in his heart. He hoped to see Li Ji'an again before leaving.

However, his nature of always considering others was patched up: if it was a critical moment or it affected his path to immortality, he could stay away from it.

He folded the letter, feeling it was a bit heavy, and slowly walked to the bookshelf. Just as he was about to put it on the shelf, he thought about it and took the letter out again. He returned to the desk and carefully spread out the letter and smoothed it out...

The next morning, Li Ji'an came to the female students' dormitory area and waited quietly.

"Is the Prince Consort here to look for Princess Wenjin again?"

"My Lord, our princess has been in a bad mood today. Be careful or we will be punished according to the family rules."

"Could it be that Princess Wenjin really set the house rules for the Prince Consort? He needs to greet her every day?"

……

As the female students were discharged one after another, the usual banter continued.

A year ago, Prince Yun resisted the imperial edict and went to Beijing alone on the grounds of suppressing the Northwest Civil Unrest, and then refused to hand over the military power of the Northwest Army for the same reason, causing the relationship between the Emperor and Prince Yun to plummet to a freezing point.

Three months later, Duke Dingguo, who had been ordered to secretly investigate Prince Yun since he was intercepted from the Immortal Classic, defeated a group of double-dealers in the palace because of his tough attitude towards Prince Yun. He became a capable general in the secret confrontation between the Emperor and Prince Yun and was highly valued.

Ning Sujin, who was preparing to become an immortal, and Ning Yutan, who had already ascended to the immortal world, were both granted the title of princess by the emperor.

Ning Sujin had always only traveled with Li Ji'an, and the fact that Li Ji'an often asked her about good and bad luck naturally developed into some scandals.
