Immortality begins with raising apprentices

Chapter 53 Bai Susu

She has an oval face, snow-white skin, and exquisitely beautiful eyebrows and eyes.

Her dazzling blonde hair shone like flowing sunlight through the snow, captivating all who saw it.

His bright amber eyes held a hint of scrutiny and amusement.

"Are you independent cultivators from Yunxifang? Are you from the Jade Lizard Society or the Stone Mirror Society?"

The blonde girl's voice was clear and childlike, yet it carried a pride and arrogance beyond her years.

Chen Ye and the old man in black felt a chill run down their spines at the same time.

The young girl's tone showed that she didn't take the two major gangs seriously at all.

"Little baby, whose child are you?"

The old man silently shielded Chen Ye behind him, gripping his machete tightly.

Chen Ye remained silent, a tiny golden light, like a bean, quietly gathering at his fingertip.

Although he didn't have much spiritual power in his body, it was enough to unleash the Gengjin Qi twice more.

The blonde girl leaped down from the tree and landed lightly on the snow without splashing a single snowflake.

Beneath her cloak was a moon-white fox fur coat, which accentuated her petite figure and exuded an air of nobility.

"The Bai family's white silk."

She straightened her not-too-disheveled fox fur, raised her delicate chin, and her gaze fell on the golden glint at Chen Ye's fingertips.

"You've mastered the Geng Metal Technique quite well. However, my father said that the ultimate limit of Geng Metal Qi is when all nine energies emerge simultaneously!"

Her casual remark struck Chen Ye like a thunderbolt!

The Bai family!

White and fluffy!
She was destined to become a Nascent Soul True Monarch, but she would die tragically at the hands of Qingjun.

Bai Susu's father is none other than Bai Li, the founder of Gengjin Qi!
This aloof young girl is actually Bai Li's daughter?

"The Bai family?" the old man exclaimed in surprise, his face filled with horror.

Bai Susu was already used to the shock of others. A hint of boredom flashed across her face, but it was quickly replaced by pride.

“My father said that people only know that Geng metal energy can transform into a blade, but they don’t know that the true Geng metal technique can transform into countless phenomena.”

Chen Ye's heart was churning.

Aside from his two apprentices, this was the first time he had encountered a character who played a pivotal role in the game's storyline.

He suppressed his shock and remained on guard, but forced a humble smile: "You flatter me, Fairy Bai. My skills are but trifles, nothing to boast about..."

Bai Susu showed no reaction to his flattery, her gaze sweeping over the two corpses of the Tribulation Cultivators on the ground, and she let out a soft snort:
"I just wanted to watch since you guys are having fun. With your skills, you can only kill small fry like this. But, being able to master low-level spells to this extent does show you have some perseverance and comprehension."

Although the tone was complimentary, it sounded more like the tone was directed at a toy that had performed well.

This arrogant and aloof attitude made Chen Ye very uncomfortable.

But he also keenly sensed that there seemed to be a hint of longing for recognition in Bai Susu's eyes.

When talking about his father, his tone was a mixture of pride and loss...

"White Fairy, since you know so much, do you know how Geng Metal Qi transforms into myriad phenomena?" Chen Ye continued to ask, following her lead.

Bai Susu's eyes lit up, and she proudly raised her chin.

She was short, yet she stood with her hands on her hips, pointing her delicate nose at the tall Chen Ye:
“My father left behind a legacy, so of course I know about it. However, for someone with your five spiritual roots to have mastered the Gengjin Technique to this extent is quite an achievement. As for what comes after that… don’t even think about it! Even my father couldn’t do it!”

The sense of superiority in her tone remained undiminished.

With a casual wave of her hand, nine strands of Geng metal energy swirled around her fair and delicate hand.

It's as if it's saying, "For someone with such poor aptitude, achieving this level is already quite good; you're still far from being a true genius."

Chen Yeqiang suppressed a smile.

As expected, Bai Susu was no different from his eldest apprentice, Lu Zhiwei.

She has a very deceptive appearance, but inside she's just a naive little girl... the kind of little girl who likes to seek attention and show off.

Yes, and she also idolizes her father a little too much.

But unlike Zhiwei,

If Chen Ye were to laugh out loud at this moment, he would probably be killed on the spot by Bai Susu.

"Fine, I don't have time to play with you guys anymore." After showing off her Geng metal energy, Bai Susu felt bored again.

She raised her slender index finger, pointing to the distant mountain outlines blurred by the wind and snow:
"This world is about to change..."

The blonde girl paused, her amber eyes sweeping over the two of them as if they were two ants struggling in the snow, with an air of superior indifference.

"Just take care of yourself."

As she finished speaking, her figure faded away like a wisp of smoke in the wind and snow.

In just a few breaths, it vanished without a trace, as if it had never existed.

Only Chen Ye and the old man in black were left standing there, looking at each other, feeling a chill down their spines.

"Brother Chen... what level is this little girl? How did she disappear into thin air? And the world is about to change, does that mean..."

The old man's voice trembled slightly.

Chen Ye shook his head: "It's better to believe it's true than not to believe it's not. Da Gen should be careful during this time, move quickly, and stock up on more food."

His heart was heavy.
As the saying goes, "The tallest tree in the forest is bound to be felled by the wind."

The proficiency panel will bring him many extraordinary benefits.

The appearance of this arrogant little girl also proves that his Gengjin Technique has begun to attract the attention of others.

We need to be more cautious going forward!
After a long time.

The blonde girl peeked half her head out from behind the tree, and only after seeing the two people walk away did she swagger off and sit on the branch.

"Hmph! That rogue cultivator wasn't surprised at all! Wasting a Vanishing Talisman..."

Bai Susu pursed her lips.

She swung her slender legs, watching Chen Ye's departing figure.

Snowflakes landed on her golden hair and then quietly melted away.

“Father, this person’s Geng metal energy actually has a bit of your spirit…”

The faint murmurs dissipated in the wind and snow, carrying a hint of loneliness.

……

Chen Ye and the old man walked quickly away, only daring to stop when they felt the white mist completely disappear.

"Brother Chen, are they from the Bai family?" The old man in the dark was panting heavily, his face full of shock.

The Bai family is one of the major cultivation families in the Yan Kingdom.

Within the clan, there have been many Golden Core cultivators.

The Geng metal energy that is widely circulated in the Yan Kingdom was created by a Golden Elixir True Person from the Bai family.

"She said so herself, but it's too far-fetched. Who knows if it's true or not?" Chen Ye rubbed his temples.

“Regardless of whether her identity is real or not, this young girl is no pushover. We'd better hurry back to the market to avoid getting into trouble.” The old man in black said solemnly.

Chen Ye nodded, but he was equally wary.

However, what he cares about most now is how to use the spirit stones he has to improve his strength after returning to the market.

Especially regarding cultivation, it's time to start working on breaking through to the fifth level of Qi Refining.

And, the ever-approaching "heavenly tribulation".

"A Nascent Soul True Monarch undergoing tribulation... that's no joke. I really don't know how long this abnormal celestial phenomenon will last." A trace of worry rose in Chen Ye's heart.

He now possesses one hundred and four spirit stones.

If we sell the small sword of the calamity cultivator, the number of spirit stones will exceed one hundred and twenty.

The vast amount of spirit stones he possesses can provide him with a significant boost in proficiency.

Or... should we pay off Ping Zhuo's debts first?

Twenty spirit stones—not a lot, but not a little either.

"Fine, we agreed on a month from now anyway..." Chen Ye thought shamelessly.
