How can one become an immortal with such laziness?

Thank you so much for taking care of me this past year, Auntie. Please visit us whenever you have time. I'll miss you. Don't worry, I will be happy!

"But……"

"You don't need to say anything, I understand."

"Can't you let me finish speaking?!"

Hongling, both amused and exasperated, exclaimed, "I'm not trying to advise you, Xiaoli. I'm just curious, why do you think going home means leaving the sect?"

"Ah?"

Hong Li was interrupted while casting her spell, looking completely bewildered: "What does this mean?"

"Just the surface meaning: sects are for helping cultivators, not prisons. The mountain gate of a major sect can't be a prison either, since the purpose of cultivating immortality is to be free and unrestrained."

Outer disciples in the Qi Refining stage can freely leave the mountain, while inner disciples in the Foundation Establishment stage can apply for long-term residence outside the sect. If you are a Golden Core stage elder, you even have the authority to pass on some of the sect's techniques.

Hongling counted on her fingers, giving examples one by one: "And in special circumstances, we can even apply for special treatment."

Just like Hei Chen from the Hei family in the capital, who left the sect for a long time because he wanted to go back to be the head of the family, and even though he was only at the ninth level of Qi Refining, he still hasn't returned.

And your aunt, I was originally planning to go home and inherit the position of family head once I reached the Foundation Establishment stage.

However, my master said I had a chance to break through to the Golden Core stage, which is why I declined the position of family head.

When I reach the Golden Core stage, I will even have the authority to teach the Foundation Establishment Method.

Moreover, because our Five-Colored Family has deep ties with the Five Elements Sect, well, we have certain privileges in some areas, you know what I mean?"

"hiss!"

Hong Li gasped, "There are actually privileged classes within sects? That's terrifying!"

"really."

Hongling nodded with deep understanding, exchanged a glance with Hongli, and said in unison, "Fortunately, we are one of them!"

"Ahem, that..."

Hongli asked incredulously, "I can live at home long-term without leaving the sect, is that so great?"

Is this good?

Hongling asked in confusion, "The sect is rich in spiritual energy, abundant in resources, full of opportunities, and has famous teachers to guide you."

In mortal cities, spiritual energy is scarce, resources are limited, and opportunities are lacking. When encountering problems in cultivation, one cannot even consult a master.

The disciples couldn't wait to stay in the sect. Cultivators always strive for higher positions. If it weren't for the debt of gratitude they owed their families, why would they ever consider returning to their hometown?

You must understand, your request is tantamount to actively asking for exile from the sect. What normal cultivator would do that…?

"Exile me immediately!"

Hongli's eyes widened: "I'm not normal!"

Hongling: "..."

"Well, seeing how you were just now, I won't try to persuade you any further."

Hongling sighed: "However, you need to submit an application. Only after the application is approved can you officially leave the sect. Remember to write a true reason, and the reason must be sufficient. You can't lie or deceive, otherwise it will be bad if the sect finds out..."

"The real reason..."

Hongli was taken aback: "It needs to be sufficient?"

"uh-huh."

Hongling nodded: "This is a necessary procedure."

Does getting married at home count?

"What do you say?"

"Calculate!"

"You're kidding me!"

Hongling glanced around furtively, and when she found no one eavesdropping, she lowered her voice and said, "Don't you know that the previous leaders of the Medicine King Sect and the Five Elements Sect both resigned for this reason?"

"So, I'm still paying tribute to my seniors!"

"Salute my foot!"

Hongling patted Hongli on the shoulder and whispered, "They ran away together, leaving the sect in a mess. The elders are furious. Haven't you noticed that our Five Elements Sect still doesn't have a sect leader?"

"If you pull this 'paying homage' move and remind the elders of those difficult times, even the most good-tempered Elder Huo will get angry, and then your plan will be ruined."

"Oh, but you said you wanted to write the real reason..."

"Idiot, the reason is in your heart, isn't there much room for maneuver?"

Hongling said with exasperation, "Just say whatever comes to mind: you went back to build up your hometown and lead your parents to a better life, and then getting married was just a side thing. Wouldn't that be a 'real reason'?"

"Wonderful!"

Hongli's eyes lit up, and she couldn't help but give her aunt a thumbs up: "Sure enough, experience counts, Auntie, you're no good either!"

"If you don't know how to compliment someone, you don't have to."

Hongling rolled her eyes: "This isn't my idea. Hei Chen used this reason back then, and Bai Ying, the current head of the Bai family, used the same reason. I also wanted to use this reason back then..."

This is a tradition of our Five Colors family. As long as you don't do anything extraordinary or say anything outrageous, you'll be approved.

Well, as long as you don't encounter an emergency recall, you can stay at home for as long as you want.

Don't worry, the last time an emergency draft happened was ninety years ago, so there's no need to worry about it.

"Great!"

Hong Li felt like she was about to die of joy. How could there be such a wonderful sect? Our Five Elements Sect is truly amazing!

"hold head high---"

Just as Hongli was imagining what she would do after returning home, a loud crane cry suddenly rang out, and her aunt next to her sat up abruptly: "Oh no, that sound is... an emergency conscription!"

Hongli: "???"

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 139 As times change, Sadako needs to adapt to the times to avoid falling into the hands of perverts.

"Aaaaaah, how could this happen?!"

Hongli lay on the bed in the Fire Department's house, somewhat agitated: "It feels like they're deliberately targeting me! Humans can't be unlucky forever!"

"Mom, the fire pit isn't big enough!"

Little Fire patted its little nest sadly by the bedside, wanting to squeeze in but feeling it would break: "Little Fire has grown too big, it needs a new nest!"

"Oh, I'll get it done for you another day."

Or you can do it yourself, after all, you're all grown up now.

Hongli waved her hand and casually said, "Besides, you can sleep in the bed. Isn't the little nest more comfortable than a soft bed?"

"But Mom rolls around in her sleep in the middle of the night!"

Little Fire said seriously, "Little Fire might get crushed to death!"

Hongli: "..."

"I'm too lazy to talk to you."

Hongli rolled her eyes, feeling frustrated and wanting to talk to someone, but it was already three in the morning, who could she talk to...?

Is this even worth thinking about?!

[Hongli: Heiyang, Heiyang, wake up! Your younger brother Hei Xiaolong has pulled off a major stunt.]

[Black Sun: Ugh, what are you doing...]

Sending messages in the middle of the night to disturb someone's sleep is utterly heartless...

[Hei Yang: What's wrong with Xiaolong? Is he sleepwalking again?]

[Hongli: Hmm? He can sleepwalk?]

[Hei Yang: Ah, yeah, when he was little, he came to my house to play. In the middle of the night, he sleepwalked to the toilet and somehow ended up in my kitchen, where he just started pooping on the wok...]

Otherwise, why do you think Xiaolong needed my aunt to accompany him when he came to cultivate? It's because I was afraid he would ambush his fellow disciple in the middle of the night.

Hongli: ...

[Hongli: So, did you get infected?]

[Black Sun: Nonsense, only a fool would fall for that...]

[Hei Yang: Wait, didn't you say Xiaolong went surfing in the Northwest Sea? How did this turn into something big?]

[Black Sun: Could it be that it's being exported to the ocean?]

It's alright, seawater is naturally salty, you can't taste the difference.

[Hongli: Are you still half asleep? If it were something like this, would I be so excited as to send you a message in the middle of the night?]

Let me tell you, Hei Xiaolong is famous this time, the whole clan is buzzing about it!
