Fellow Daoist Entrusts His Child: Immortality Begins with Nurturing a Demoness

Chapter 89 Reaching the Summit: Where Did the Ordinary Woman Come From? (6800-word chapter)
"Oh, so Senior Sister is finally willing to reveal your trump card?"

Liu Xia looked down at Luo Fanchen from her high vantage point, her eyes filled with amusement. She had been paying attention to his movements with a portion of her divine sense throughout the entire process. When she saw that he had tried to enter the Talisman Tower twice but failed to even pass the fifth floor, she had basically formed her opinion of him.

It looks like a fool, but a fool is unlikely.

The test on the seventh floor is purely based on talent, and has nothing to do with cultivation level. However, the talisman crafting itself requires comprehension, mental strength, and true essence, none of which can be lacking.

Luo Fanchen can't even pass the fifth level, so how strong can his true essence be? He's undoubtedly a good-for-nothing.

But with Ming Ruoxue's discerning eye, she certainly wouldn't have chosen a good-for-nothing.

"Oh! I remember now, that girl is the junior sister whom Senior Sister personally selected and bestowed with the precious robe, right?"

Liu Xia chattered away, but her attention was quickly drawn back to the sword tower with its buzzing sword energy. She extended her divine sense and focused on the delicate girl standing on the twelfth floor. She marveled at her and her admiration for her talent grew.

Once you reach the third level of Qi Refining, you can reach the twelfth floor. Even if you don't manage to reach the top in the end, you'll still be at the level where you're about to condense your sword intent.

"A sword genius! Sword bones alone wouldn't be enough to achieve this level of skill. Is it the sword heart?"

"With the help of a top-grade Golden Fire spiritual root, she is a rare talent. My junior sister, your senior sister has kept her well hidden."

"She is not one of my retainers, so how can she be involved in my collection?"

Ming Ruoxue's voice was calm. Liu Xia gently twirled her fingertips on the jade table and clicked her tongue.

"It's a pity that he started too late. His bone age should be eighteen years old, right? He's only at the third level of Qi Refining. He's wasted his talent. But if he's properly nurtured, he might be able to surpass others later."

“She’s not a senior sister’s disciple, how about giving her to me? I’ll issue her a disciple’s token, and she can become our junior sister in the future.”

Ming Ruoxue frowned slightly, feeling that Liu Xia was like a lapdog who wanted everything, which was extremely annoying.

"Mo Xue does not belong to you, nor to me. She is a cultivator with a complete and independent personality. If you are interested, you may recruit her yourself."

After Ming Ruoxue finished speaking, her voice turned colder as she said, "You must not force me, otherwise I will not forgive you."

Upon hearing this, Liu Xia narrowed her long, narrow eyes, like a venomous snake spitting its tongue, but she quickly softened her smile and said with a grin.

"Of course, I am also a disciple of the Luoshen Pavilion, how could I possibly force anyone?"

"However, given this girl's situation, without the help of the four major families, joining the Daoist sect is, well, a pipe dream."

"She will naturally make the best choice."

Liu Xia's eyes gleamed with amusement; anyone who refused her recruitment would never amount to anything in Qingyuan Domain.

"I've heard that this girl has a close relationship with Luo Fanchen?"

"They depended on each other for survival, and were as close as family."

"So that's how it is. It's the little girl and that rogue cultivator. They're both Senior Sister's people. No wonder she's keeping such a close watch on them."

Liu Xia smiled faintly, her already thin lips forming a slight curve, her sarcasm evident in her expression.

"Since you cultivate the Xuanzhang, why do you insist on clinging to talent? What's the difference between your retainer token and a mere decoration?"

Ming Ruoxue narrowed her green eyes slightly, her delicate hand clenched slightly in her sleeve, then helplessly loosened, her bright eyes lowered.

Liu Xia is right. The Xuanzhang method of Luoshen Pavilion requires severing worldly ties and seeing through cause and effect. Since her goal is to resonate with the Xuanzhang, she must try to avoid social interactions. The retainer's token is indeed no different from a decoration.

Unless she fails to resonate.

"Right? Senior sister, you can't form a karmic connection with them. Instead of delaying them, why not give it to me? That way, it won't be a waste of talent."

"I will train him according to the rules of the Luoshen Pavilion."

“To train them only according to the rules of Luo Shen Pavilion? Isn’t that just burying their talents? Senior Sister, Luo Fanchen and Mo Xue are not young anymore.”

Liu Xia brushed a strand of hair from her temple with her delicate hand and clicked her tongue, saying, "Look, this girl has even managed to condense her sword intent."

"You can't stop someone from pursuing a better future."

"As I said, the choice is hers. You can recruit her, but you can't force her."

Ming Ruoxue remained calm with her oval face, repeating each word again. Liu Xia's pretty face changed slightly; if she couldn't recruit them, she would force them.

How could we just watch such a promising talent slip through our fingers?

As the two spoke, the Sword Pavilion hummed, and light shot straight into the sky. The light gate at the entrance closed, indicating that someone had already seized the opportunity and successfully reached the top.

Liu Xia looked at her from afar, casting an approving glance and gently clapping her hands.

“This woman can be Senior Brother Tuo’s personal sword maid. We can guarantee her direct access to the Luoshen Pavilion and make her our junior sister.”

I don't want to repeat myself a third time.

Ming Ruoxue's voice turned cold, and the wind and snow howled as she swam, making Liu Xia's skin feel cold, and a thin layer of frost formed on its surface.

"If you want to break the rules, you have the guts to try."

"."

Liu Xia's venomous eyes narrowed, her light eyebrows furrowed slightly, and as the water mist and spiritual energy rose from her body, the frost quickly melted away.

Her face was gloomy as she stared at Ming Ruoxue, who calmly sipped her spiritual tea, seemingly not taking her seriously at all.

After a long while, Liu Xia's expression gradually brightened, and she smiled apologetically.

"Of course, my Luoshen Pavilion is a prestigious and righteous sect, and will not violate the rules of the sect."

Ming Ruoxue ignored her, only glancing at her with a sliver of her gaze, and continued to sip the spiritual tea infused with the Cleansing Heart Pill.

At the same time, on the top floor of the Sword Tower.

"I did it? I reached the summit?"

Mo Xue gripped the sword hilt tightly with her small hands. The cheers and shouts around her were deafening. She looked around at the gradually dimming sword formation at her feet, feeling somewhat surreal.

Having exhausted her true energy, she staggered down the last step of the twelfth floor and reached the top floor.

Looking down at her from her vantage point, countless rogue cultivators cast envious glances at her. Even the sect disciples she usually couldn't afford to offend paled in comparison, too ashamed to meet her gaze.

"Hahaha, I did it!"

As Mo Xue ascended the tower, her sleeves were shattered by the sword intent, and her slender arms were cut with fine, bloody gashes.

She seemed oblivious to the pain, covering her mouth and chuckling, unable to hide her excitement.

Without Master Luo this time, she relied entirely on herself, and her efforts over the past few months have not been in vain.

"Ling Moxue, ranked ninety-fourth on the Azure Cloud Ranking, has one hundred Immortal Destinies and will receive an additional ten Immortal Destinies each month."

Mo Xue gazed at the changes in the Azure Cloud Ranking and Immortal Fate on the Deacon Tower, so excited she almost jumped for joy. She was no longer an unknown wild girl; this time, she had become a renowned prodigy on the list through her own efforts.

"Those who ascend first will be granted opportunities."

The tower hummed, its ancient and grand sound lingering in Mo Xue's ears. When she came to her senses, a ball of light condensed from the bottom of the tower, then layered on top of each other, until it condensed into a pale blue bead at the top, which slowly floated in front of her.

"This is... such abundant true essence! A good thing! I'll save it for Master Luo!"

Mo Xue sheathed her sword, her beautiful eyes sparkling as she reached out her hand, carefully trying to take the round bead.

Unexpectedly, the bead sensed her approach, spun and hummed for a moment, then transformed into a stream of light and plunged directly into her lips.

"Well"

Mo Xue covered her mouth in astonishment, and when she tried to spit it out again, the bead had vanished without a trace.

At the same time, the girl's dantian was burning hot, and her meridians seemed to be surging with a gentle flow of heat, swelling and bulging, but just at the limit she could bear, almost bursting her meridians.

She frowned slightly as she tried to refine it, until her true essence overflowed, and the feeling of swelling still lingered.

"Is it to help me break through to a higher realm?"

Mo Xue murmured, tentatively continuing to refine the energy and trying to break through the blocked acupoints to cleanse the Chong meridian.

One acupoint and two closed acupoints gradually loosened under the impact of the Golden Essence, and were finally successfully connected. When the essence was slightly exhausted, the overflowing spiritual power was easily refined into Golden Essence again to continue the impact.

Through repeated trials, she even saw an opportunity to break through to the fourth level of Qi Refining.

"A top-grade Luohe Pill? This girl is lucky."

"The opportunity to ascend the tower is allocated by the Seven-Layered Glazed Pagoda itself. The focus is on making up for the deficiencies of cultivators who reach the top. Mo Xue's cultivation level is far below the average level, so the pagoda will naturally improve her cultivation level."

Ming Ruoxue rarely took the initiative to explain, and her eyes showed undisguised approval as she looked at Mo Xue.

The superior-grade Luohe Pill, falling between the superior grade of the first tier and the inferior grade of the second tier, is made from pure Luohe crystal and is personally refined by a True Person.

The spiritual energy within is gentle and has no elemental attributes, making it extremely easy to refine. It can help cultivators below the late stage of Qi Refining break through a small realm. It is also one of the most popular precious pills among low-level disciples of the Daoist sect, and is considered a top-tier opportunity.

"With Mo Xue's foundation, her breakthrough won't lead to a weak cultivation level. What a great opportunity!"

Liu Xia clicked her tongue in amazement, her gaze towards Mo Xue growing increasingly intense.

This level of cultivation can save a young girl months of arduous training, making it more practical than any magical artifact.

"This Dharma Tower is much more difficult than I imagined."

At the same time, Luo Fanchen had just walked to the Dharma Building when he happened to run into Shou Rufeng, who was about to enter the building.

The latter was slightly taken aback and hurriedly came forward, but before he could, Li Miaoyun had already stepped forward and brought him a cup of fragrant tea.

"Sir, you must be tired from climbing the building. Please have some tea to rest and refresh yourself."

A delicate fragrance wafted through the air, indistinguishable between the scent of spiritual tea and the faint fragrance of Li Miaoyun's rouge. Luo Fanchen closed his eyes and inhaled the aroma, instantly gaining a heightened sense of hearing and sight.

The tea is good, and the people are good too.

Luo Fanchen stretched his body and looked at the rankings of the Dharma Tower. Seeing that Han Chong had already reached the eleventh floor, he decided not to waste any more time and politely declined.

"I will drink this tea after I reach the summit."

After speaking, Luo Fanchen stepped forward, revealing his sixth level of Qi Refining cultivation. The scattered cultivators spontaneously made way for him.

Before stepping through the portal, Luo Fanchen smiled at the slightly reserved Shou Rufeng and said, "I'm in the shantytown. If you have anything to discuss with me, you can come find me anytime."

Shou Rufeng bowed respectfully upon hearing this, while the other cultivators discussed Luo Fanchen's identity.

"Who is he that Li Miaoyun treats with such courtesy?"

"A mere Qi Refining Level 6. No, I think I saw this person at the Treasure Pavilion Spirit Banquet. He dared to provoke Mo Xue, bullying the weak and demanding a duel. In the end, he lowered his cultivation level and was defeated by Fairy Mo Xue in one move."

"Defeated in one move? If I were him, I wouldn't have the face to stay in Feiyunfang."

The independent cultivators whispered among themselves, some mocking and joking, but most expressing helplessness.

Both the Qi Refining Stage 6 cultivators from the Qinghe Immortal Water Abode sects failed to ascend the tower. Luo Fanchen was probably the only one at the Qi Refining Stage 6. It was thought that there was still some hope, but now it seems that he is just a good-for-nothing.

With Qinghe Xianshui Residence failing, Feiyunfang's operation will naturally become increasingly difficult, and in the end, it will be these independent cultivators who suffer the most.

"It's him?"

"That's right, the person Senior Brother Han Chong specifically asked us to pay attention to is him!"

Compared to the rogue cultivators of Feiyunfang, the cultivators from the four sects were immediately drenched in sweat upon seeing Luo Fanchen appear.

Fortunately, Senior Brother Han Chong has already reached the eleventh level, and reaching the top is a sure thing. Even if this person is truly capable, there is no time or opportunity left.

Under the intense gazes of everyone, Luo Fanchen calmly stepped into the first floor.

Before them was a quadrilateral array, occupying the four palace positions. The array's eye was the entrance for collecting true essence. As long as enough true essence was poured in, the array could be broken and one could ascend to the second floor.

"Profoundness and purity come first, quality second. If profoundness is lacking, quality can make up for it."

Luo Fanchen quickly grasped the key point, activated the spiritual seed in his lungs, and used the Qi Circulation Technique to transform Shaoyang into Wood. The true essence of Yi Wood hummed from his meridians and poured into the formation.

"It should be Senior Brother Han Chong's turn to take over the Dharma Tower."

"Four sects against two sects should have been the way it was, but it's a pity that we lost the Sword Tower this time, so we received less reward."

The cultivators from the four sects spoke lightly, already tacitly agreeing to take over the Dharma Tower. The cultivators from the Qinghe and Xianshui sects covered their faces and sighed, secretly thinking that the days ahead would be even more difficult.

"Lord Luo can definitely do it!"

Shou Rufeng secretly encouraged himself, even though he knew that the probability of Luo Fanchen successfully reaching the top was so low as to be negligible, he couldn't help but feel hopeful.

Lord Luo could certainly reach the summit, but he simply didn't have the time. The sheer number of cultivators from the four sects did have some effect.

He sighed helplessly, and when he looked up again, he noticed that Lord Luo's floor number had increased by one.

"Ten floors?"

Shou Rufeng rubbed his eyes in disbelief, initially thinking he was seeing things. Less than the time it takes to drink a cup of tea? How could it already be ten floors?

"Huh? That guy's already on the tenth floor?"

"No, no, it's the eleventh floor! He caught up with Senior Brother Han Chong!"

The four cultivators' expressions changed drastically, cursing the cheating. Looking at the rogue cultivators of Feiyunfang, they were all dumbfounded and incredulous.

Who is this person?

"Senior Brother Han Chong is right, he couldn't possibly be a rogue cultivator."

The cultivators from the four sects were thrown into chaos, and the most important Dharma Tower was lost. Would Lord Xia give them a good outcome?
At the same time, atop the Dharma Tower, Liu Xia, her face gloomy, was also somewhat incredulous.

"Senior sister gave this person a second-tier Bloodthirst Pill? How come he's even more ferocious than an animal?"

"."

Ming Ruoxue remained expressionless, only glancing at Liu Xia out of the corner of her eye, as if she were looking at a fool.

Liu Xia's face flushed slightly. She knew that Ming Ruoxue would never give out a deadly pill to seize the tower, but she also couldn't accept the fall of the tower.

The seventh floor, led by the Dharma Tower, was a place where the combined strength of the four sects overwhelmed the other two. It was already a disgrace that they couldn't defeat the Sword Tower.

If I lose the Dharma Hall again, I'm afraid I'll become a laughingstock among my fellow disciples.

"With such powerful true essence, how could he be unknown? Is it his physique? That shouldn't be the case. With such true essence, he should at least be close to an immortal body. How come he is over thirty years old and is only at the sixth level of Qi Refining?"

Liu Xia muttered to herself, "In terms of true essence alone, Luo Fanchen far surpasses her at the same level."

What good cultivation techniques could a rogue cultivator possibly have? They must rely on their physique. If they had a celestial physique, well...
"Senior sister, don't keep it from me anymore."

"I don't know, I don't have the bad habit of spying on others."

Seeing Luo Fanchen's rapid progress, Ming Ruoxue's snow-white face, shrouded in a thin veil, showed no joy; instead, her eyebrows furrowed slightly.

If Luo Fanchen possesses a special physique of true essence, it would actually be a bad thing for his development.

"Pity"

Ming Ruoxue murmured silently, a hint of regret in her eyes.

True Essence type physique has a wide range of applications, making cultivation techniques twice as effective with half the effort, and it also has miraculous effects in combat. It is most popular among cultivators, and if ranked by physique, it would definitely be among the top-grade.

However, this only applies to cultivators with dual spiritual roots or higher.

The abundance of true essence does not come from nowhere; this type of physique automatically condenses, compresses, and stores the true essence produced through breathing in the dantian.

The cultivators cannot interfere throughout the process, and at least 30% of the spiritual energy they breathe in and out will naturally be diverted away.

At least two spiritual roots are required to avoid affecting cultivation. If one has five spiritual roots, the spiritual energy one breathes in is already mixed and scarce, and a portion of it must be condensed and compressed, making cultivation extremely slow.

Furthermore, because this physique stores true essence in the dantian and tempers the qi sea for a long time, the degree of opening of the qi sea far exceeds that of ordinary cultivators.

While spiritual power doubles, the difficulty of transforming true essence into liquid to fill the Qi Sea and break through to the next realm is far greater than that of ordinary cultivators.

"Three times harder. At least three times more difficult. Those with dual spiritual roots who have cultivated Daoist scriptures since childhood still have a chance, but those with five spiritual roots..."

Ming Ruoxue pursed her lips, secretly calculating in her heart.

If Luo Fanchen truly possesses a True Essence-type physique, the difficulty of breaking through to the Foundation Establishment stage would be at least five times that of an ordinary cultivator.
This is only the Foundation Establishment stage; reaching the Core Formation stage is a pipe dream.

The True Essence Physique raised the lower limit of the Five Elemental Roots, but it also sealed off Luo Fanchen's upper limit because of the Five Elemental Roots.

For a genius, it's an immense blessing, but for someone with five spiritual roots, it's no different from someone born with a specific physique. In the Demon Realm, they'd probably be dead long ago.
"Luo Fanchen hopes you have enough luck."

Ming Ruoxue sighed softly. As a fellow cultivator, she understood the pain of having one's limits locked and only hoped it was a misjudgment.

At the same time, Han Chong was exhausted and finally broke through the eleventh level. When he stepped into the twelfth level, he was about to swallow a pill to reach the top. When he looked at the rankings again, he found that he had been squeezed to second place.

"Luo Fanchen, 12th floor, ranked first."

Han Chong murmured, his face grim, but he couldn't help feeling admiration.

"He resorted to some underhanded tricks, but in the end he was no match for me. I'm no match for him."

Han Chong chuckled self-deprecatingly, losing the will to continue his ascent. His opponent's ascent was nearly ten times faster than his; the difference was obvious to the naked eye, and there was no need for comparison.

"Such an outstanding person, I really want to befriend him."

Han rushed towards the void, clasped his hands in a distant salute, and left the Dharma Tower with a carefree air. He waved to his fellow disciples who were trying to approach him to inquire about and comfort him, and said calmly.

“I am far inferior to this person. From now on, when the cultivators of the four sects see him, they must treat him with courtesy.”

After speaking, Han Chong walked to Li Miaoyun's side, unfastened the jade pendant from his waist, and solemnly presented it with both hands.

"This is a magical artifact I wear with the gods, called the Pure Heart Pendant. It is a first-grade, high-quality divine soul artifact. When I entered the city, I offended Fellow Daoist Luo. Consider this pendant my apology. If there is an opportunity in the future, I will personally host a banquet for Fellow Daoist."

Li Miaoyun smiled with her fox-like eyes but did not take it. Han Chong was not annoyed. He turned around and handed it to Shou Rufeng beside him, bowed respectfully and left.

He disgraced himself to make Luo Fanchen famous.

I only hope that in the future, in the Yimu Sect's secret realm, Luo Fanchen will show some leniency towards the disciples of the four sects, considering his submission and respect today.

He was no match for Luo Fanchen; even if his senior brothers ganged up on him, it would be difficult for him.

It's just a matter of saving face. As long as Luo Fanchen holds back and saves the lives of my fellow disciples, it's worth it!

"I will pass on the message to Mr. Luo."

"Please, Fairy Miaoyun, our four sects are willing to befriend Fellow Daoist Luo and will never offend him."

Han Chong adopted an extremely humble posture, and the disciples of the four sects looked slightly unpleasant, but they suppressed their complaints due to his prestige.

In contrast, the disciples of Qinghe Xian Shui Ju felt honored, as even a fool could see that Luo Fanchen was extraordinary.

This person will surely enter the Yimu Secret Realm and become a good helper to both sects.

"Han Chong is indeed pragmatic, that's good."

Upstairs, Ming Ruoxue nodded slightly, while Liu Xia had a long face, her already sharp chin looking even more harsh.

She thought Ming Ruoxue was mocking her, and she was so angry that her hands were shaking.

Fearful before even fighting! This person is supposed to be the number one genius of their four sects? Shameful!
Liu Xia's face was ashen. In her daze, the Dharma tower beneath her was already filled with spiritual light and hummed incessantly.

Inside the building, Luo Fanchen exhausted his true essence, but finally managed to unravel the twelfth layer of array patterns with his vast true essence, and breathed a slight sigh of relief.

"No wonder the Dharma Tower is ranked first. Without secret techniques and pills, there are probably very few people in the Eight Desolations who can reach the top."

Luo Fanchen clicked his tongue in amazement. His dantian was burning hot, and his true essence overflowed twice before he finally broke the formation.

He stepped over the attic, climbed to the top of the Dharma Hall, and passed through the curtain, where two graceful figures came into view.

Her aura was pure and cold, surpassing even the snow. Her black hair was draped loose, as if bathed in moonlight, like the waters of the Luo River. Her waist was slender and supple, so delicate that it could be grasped in one hand.

She wore a thin veil over her face, exuding a cool and aloof yet approachable aura, much like her serene, deep blue eyes. Beneath her delicate nose, her small, full, and well-proportioned mouth was beautiful enough without any rouge, and a beauty mark at the corner of her lips made her even more alluring, irresistibly tempting one to taste her.

With her icy, jade-like bones and ethereal, otherworldly beauty, who else could she be but Ming Ruoxue?
A fleeting glimpse, like moonlight in a dream filling his heart, left Luo Fanchen momentarily stunned, his heart inevitably yearning.

Compared to the other two, Liu Xia, who was quite good-looking, was completely ignored by him.

"Om-"

The Dharma Hall hummed, the light gate closed, and spiritual light accumulated from the first floor, eventually transforming into a pale blue sphere that slowly floated in front of him.

Luo Fanchen then came to his senses, silently lowered his eyes, and clasped his hands in a salute.

"Fairy Ruoxue, I have not failed in my mission."

"This is a high-grade Luohe Pill, containing pure true essence, which can help low-level cultivators break through one level of cultivation. As for you, it can also break through several acupoints."

Liu Xia was the first to respond. She looked at Luo Fanchen meaningfully and smiled.

"You and that girl Mo Xue have quite a bit of luck. This is your chance to climb the tower, so accept it."

Luo Fanchen also bowed to Liu Xia, but did not respond until Ming Ruoxue calmly nodded, indicating that he should accept it. Only then did he carefully accept it in the brocade box. During this time, the pill tried to get into his mouth, but she casually pinched it and put it into the brocade box.

Mo Xue started late, so this item is perfect for her.

"The first pill has a mysterious effect; the second pill can only absorb one-tenth of its medicinal power."

Liu Xia toyed with the cup with her fingertips, her smile slightly cold, clearly dissatisfied with Luo Fanchen's obedience to Ming Ruoxue.

"Fellow Daoist Luo broke through twelve floors in a quarter of an hour, which is a remarkable feat and truly shows his talent."

"I cannot bear to see you, fellow Daoist, buried in this desolate land. I have taken pity on your talent. This is my retainer's order. You may come to develop in the territory of my four sects. Foundation Establishment will be a piece of cake for you in the future."

Liu Xia slowly handed over a jade pendant and pushed it in front of Luo Fanchen.

At the same time, Ming Ruoxue calmly said, "I have an agreement with Miaoyun. If you can climb to the tenth floor of the Dharma Tower on your own, I will issue you a retainer's token. The choice is yours."

After speaking, Ming Ruoxue also handed over a jade pendant, which was extremely similar to the one in the pendant, both of which had ice crystal lotus patterns.

However, Ming Ruoxue's lotus pattern is complemented by lotus leaves, making it much more exquisite.

"Later, you will take Mo Xue and return directly with the four sects. From then on, your status will be no less than Han Chong's, and you will be indispensable in obtaining Foundation Establishment Pills."

Liu Xia seemed confident and was already considering Luo Fanchen's submission.

She slightly raised her long, beautiful legs, and beneath her light blue dress, her graceful arches stretched out slowly towards Luo Fanchen.

The embroidered shoes are delicately adorned with ice lotus flowers, and the insteps are as white as snow, warm and smooth.

"From now on, you will be my subordinate."

Liu Xia narrowed her slender eyebrows and eyes, her voice domineering and unquestionable, clearly wanting Luo Fanchen to kiss the tips of his shoes to show his loyalty.

Where did this ordinary woman come from?

Luo Fanchen was stunned for a moment, only then did he understand the meaning of the word "Puxin".

Compared to Ming Ruoxue, Liu Xia was so ordinary, yet so confident. She could still tell the difference between the inner and outer sects.

Not to mention that Liu Xia's behavior was no different from that of a spoiled young lady with a missing brainstem, which greatly lowered his impression of the genius of the Dao Sect.

"What, are you so happy you're stunned?"

Liu Xia scoffed, gently swaying her toes. Luo Fanchen's eyes lost their luster, looking much like a dead, rotten fish.

People can actually laugh when they're speechless, and letting someone kiss their feet is both arrogant and unbelievable.
She really thinks she's Ming Ruoxue.

"I am willing to follow Fairy Ruoxue and serve her faithfully."

Luo Fanchen gave Liu Xia an apologetic smile, walked past her, and took Ming Ruoxue's guest token.

Liu Xia's smile gradually froze on her face, and Ming Ruoxue's eyelashes trembled slightly as she tilted her head in confusion, staring at him.

"Pfft, hahaha. Junior, my senior sister is indeed exceptionally beautiful, it's only natural that you admire her."

"."

Luo Fanchen remained expressionless, his heart filled with disgust for Liu Xia. If she weren't a Foundation Establishment cultivator, he would never have given her a kind look.

"However, she cultivates the Xuanzhang inheritance. Don't even mention that you are only at the sixth level of Qi Refining. Even if you were a True Person who has reached the sixth level of Core Formation, you wouldn't have the slightest chance."

"Give up on that idea already. I understand a young man's impulsiveness, but the retainer's token in your hand is just for show."

Liu Xia was arrogant and looked down on Luo Fanchen, who was a rogue cultivator.

Now that they've been rejected, and with the Falou and Jianlou lost, they've already lost face and are too lazy to pretend anymore.

Besides, she's right.

"You should know that my Luoshen Pavilion is founded by the Venerable Xuanzhang, right?"

"I am willing to follow Fairy Ruoxue and serve her like a dog or a horse."

Luo Fanchen repeated calmly, neither humble nor arrogant. Liu Xia's face stiffened slightly, and she covered her mouth and sneered.

"Hehe. No rush, you have time to think. I value talent and will give you three chances. This is the first one."

After saying this, Liu Xia got up and left, leaving only one sentence behind.

"You are too old to be included in the Azure Cloud Ranking. The ranking on the Azure Cloud Ranking will be converted into a Celestial Fate, which you can collect from my Heavenly Star Workshop before the Yi Wood Secret Realm opens."
