How can one become an immortal with such laziness?

"three!"

"two!"

"one!"

"run!"

"Hey, why did you jump the gun!"

"Didn't we agree to start running right away?"

"Grass! (a plant)"

Hongli and Heiyang, one after the other, ran up the almost vertical cliff face with their feet on the rock wall!

Even with the speed boost from the "Go for it" skill, the two still couldn't rush up in one go, and there was still a long way to go to reach the top!

The two, exhausted, suddenly stopped. It was too much for someone at the seventh level of Body Tempering to run up the rock wall!

However, since the two were walking side by side, Hong Li suddenly stepped on Hei Yang's shoulder and used that force to move upwards again!

Black Sun, on the other hand, began to fall straight down.

The next instant, Hei Yang unleashed a "treacherous backstab," reappearing behind Hong Li and running wildly alongside her.

"Huh...huh..."

Hongli gasped for breath, her speed gradually decreasing, and she was instantly overtaken by Heiyang. She let go of his hand and suddenly lifted him up from under his feet: "Go!"

New energy regeneration, Black Sun accelerates instantly.

It'll be soon, it'll be soon...

A glint flashed in Hei Yang's eyes. This length is enough!

"Shh!"

He hurled the iron chain, which had been extended with straw rope, while Hei Yang chose to let go—if he held tightly to the end, the chain would still be a bit short, but if he threw it out in its entirety, the length would be sufficient!

"Crack!"

The spear tip was firmly wedged into the rocky peak, and the black sun fell again.

Hong Li suddenly appeared, grabbed Hei Yang's hand, and with the help of the new force, pulled Hei Yang up and jumped.

The fair hand gripped the iron chain tightly, causing it to straighten instantly!

Chapter 15 I counted to three and calmed down!

Five-Colored City, a certain restaurant—well, the restaurant has a name, it's called Immortal's Tavern.

By the way, I just changed my name.

"Hehehe, Immortal Master, please try this. This is our tavern's signature dish. Of course, it can't compare to immortal ingredients like spirit chicken, so please don't be offended!"

The tavern owner bowed and scraped as he personally served the hot dishes, looking at the person at the table with a fawning expression.

"Hmm... No need to make things difficult. As I said at the beginning, I was just passing through your place by chance. However, I couldn't refuse your hospitality, so I stayed for a few more days. I have caused you a lot of trouble."

Master Chulinzi chuckled and stroked his beard, looking every bit the otherworldly being: "In a few days, I will be leaving, but I will not break my promise to take on a disciple."

Originally, the city lord was very generous and wanted to invite me to the city lord's mansion as a guest, and then put on a grand show, calling it a disciple-acceptance ceremony.

However, I cannot bear to see the people suffer and waste their money, so I politely decline your kind offer and will only stay here for a few days.”

Chu Linzi spoke without holding back his voice, and the surrounding, reserved drinkers immediately began to praise him.

"Excellent! The Taoist priest is truly benevolent and righteous; we admire him greatly!"

"That's right, the Taoist priest is an immortal, how could we mortals possibly fathom his existence?"

"Alas, it's a pity that I was not good enough and failed to catch the spirit chicken, thus missing out on my chance to become an immortal."

"Come on, do you think I don't know you're a coward who's afraid of trouble and didn't even leave the city to go into the mountains?"

"Is that my problem? I've heard that ferocious tigers frequently prey on people in the mountains, and countless talented young people have perished, even those from the five great families..."

"Cough cough."

Chu Linzi raised an eyebrow, stood up, gave a slight bow, interrupted the man's conversation, and said with a smile, "Everyone is too kind. Before I attained enlightenment, I was just a mortal. I had no lofty sentiments; I was merely acting within my capabilities..."

Seeing Chu Linzi stand up, everyone present quickly stood up to return the greeting.

"Look at the immortal's demeanor, his words, his bearing..."

"That's that's..."

"Immortal Master, are you really not considering staying at my Huang family's residence for a few more days?"

The Huang family patriarch was also among the crowd. He forced a smile and looked respectfully at Chu Linzi: "If you want to hold a disciple-acceptance ceremony, there is no need to go to great lengths and waste money. My Huang family can take full responsibility."

The Huang family patriarch was filled with bitterness. This year, the Five Elements Sect did not have a spot for the Huang family in its recruitment of disciples, which had already dampened the spirits of the clan.

Who would have thought that a celestial being would suddenly visit? After demonstrating his skills a few times outside the forest, the Huang family patriarch was instantly impressed: "The celestial being has visited my Huang family but not the other four families. This must be a sign from heaven that my family has a chance to rise to prominence!"

He had hoped that being so close to the immortal would make him happy, and that his two sons—no, he only hoped that the immortal would accept one of his sons as a disciple.

The problem arose during the disciple-acceptance test. The Huang family was the first to learn of the news and was among the first to venture into the mountains to search for the spirit chicken. They had hoped to be the first to get a piece of the pie, but instead, they suffered the most casualties among the five major families!

The two sons of the Huang family patriarch were both carried away by wild beasts and their bodies were never found!

Upon hearing the news, the Huang family patriarch was naturally heartbroken, but the more he was heartbroken, the more reluctant he was to give up this opportunity for immortality: "I have already lost so much, at least let my Huang family gain something, right?"

In the end, there was nothing. In the last few days, the immortal just packed his bags and ran off to this restaurant.

The Huang family patriarch knew he was now in a gamble with no way out, but he still refused to give up. Even learning a single move or two of immortal techniques would be good enough...

"No, no need."

Chu Linzi waved his hand, signaling everyone to return to their seats. He then sat down and said with a smile, "My cultivation practice emphasizes spontaneity. If anyone can serve me spirit chicken soup instead of wine in this restaurant by the deadline, I will accept them as my disciple. If no one meets the requirements, it simply means that our time has not yet come."

"That's it..."

The Huang family patriarch looked on in despair, but dared not retaliate, and sat down awkwardly.

"Hmm... Fate can't be forced, hahaha!"

Chu Linzi laughed heartily, seemingly carefree, but a hint of mockery flashed in his eyes. He himself was a self-taught individual who had gone through countless hardships to reach his current level, and yet he was expected to teach others.

"Hmm, food alone isn't enough..."

Chu Linzi chuckled and waved his hand, "Bring me the best wine, hahaha, the very best!"

"okay……"

The waiter bowed and replied hastily, but then paused, turned and asked, "Is the immortal referring to genuine wine, and not fake wine?"

"Ok?"

Emerging from the woods, a question mark appeared on his face: "I want a fake..."

"Hahaha, please forgive me, Immortal Master!"

The shop owner immediately jumped in to smooth things over: "This silly boy isn't very bright. I'll go and get you the shop's century-old vintage wine myself."

"Yes, good!"

The shop owner strode over to the waiter, grabbed him, and dragged him away quickly. Once they reached the back of the house, he let out a long breath and growled in a low, menacing voice, "What are you doing? Are you out of your mind?!"

"Yes...you said it..."

The waiter looked aggrieved: "Anything served at that location, the drinks are all served as juice..."

"Oh my, you're my ancestor, okay!"

The shop owner covered his face helplessly: "I was talking about the second young master of the Hei family and the second young lady of the Hong family. They used to be in that spot, but they're gone now!"

"I know that..."

The waiter muttered, "I heard it was because they were saving their little sister who was eaten by a tiger. The third masters of the Hei and Hong families brought their daughters to express their deepest gratitude to them..."

"What's the use of being thankful a thousand times? The person is still gone!"

The shop owner sighed: "Once someone's gone, they can't come back. It's like this Five Colors City; a lot of people have left recently, and it's suddenly not as lively as it used to be..."

Oh, by the way, you don't need to come to work tomorrow. Just collect your wages and leave.

"Ah this..."

The waiter asked in a daze, "Why...?"

"You still ask why? Tell me how many taboos you've broken! No matter how I teach you, you just can't learn. I'm at my wit's end!"

The shop owner snorted coldly, flicked his sleeves, and left: "I've done my best. Go tell your connections yourself. Some jobs, once lost, are gone forever!"

"Ah this..."

The waiter stared blankly at the owner's retreating figure, and finally sighed. The owner was actually a very nice person, no wonder people were upset.

Shaking his head, the waiter remembered that there were still a few dishes in the kitchen that hadn't been served to the customers, and turned to walk towards the kitchen.

"Why is the door open? Is there a draft...?"

The waiter mumbled as he walked in, when suddenly his mouth was covered: "Waaaaah..."
