How can one become an immortal with such laziness?

"Tear..."

Little Fire: "?"

The blanket was split in two, allowing both Hongli and Heiyang to cover their entire bodies.

Little Fire: "???"

And what about her? She showed herself!

With puffed-out cheeks and a soft hum, Little Fire leaped up and transformed back into its crane form, burrowing back into the covers. It was so much more comfortable!

Inside the room, apart from breathing, there was no other sound.

……

"Let me tell you, generally speaking, spirit beasts, demon beasts, or ferocious beasts can only take human form during the Foundation Establishment stage!"

The ring whispered in Hong Butian's ear, "But that weasel was able to transform into human form during the Qi Refining stage. Don't you find that strange?"

"So it was you who did this?"

"no!!!"

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 192 Actually, when things seem to be in trouble, waiting a little longer might just make things better.

"Can you please stop being so hostile towards me?!"

The ring said unhappily, "But I am..."

"I know."

Hong Butian shrugged: "You are the former Grand Elder of the Medicine King Sect, so I, this brat, had better show you some respect, right?"

"You're quite skilled..."

Having his line stolen, he said speechlessly, "Knowing that you still treat me this way."

"I've said that before."

Hong Butian shrugged: "If you can't stand me, just leave. Besides, didn't you leave in a fit of anger before, but you came back on your own in less than half a day?"

"Well, there's nothing I can do about that."

The ring said helplessly, "After I left you that day, I quickly found a young man who looked good."

Before I could even reveal my identity, I simply said, "You have a predestined connection with the immortals," and he chased me away with a terrified look on his face, insisting on taking me to report to the authorities.

"That's perfectly normal. It shows that the youth in our city have a high level of awareness about fraud prevention, which is a good thing..."

Hong Butian sat in a chair, leisurely sipped some water, and revealed a contented expression: "When I first met you, weren't I also very surprised that the ring could talk?"

"It's not what you say."

The ring said helplessly, "After that, I looked for several more, but they all changed their expressions drastically as soon as they heard the words 'fate to the immortals.' It seems that what shocked them wasn't just because I'm now a ring..."

"Yes, the news has spread among the young people of Five Colors City that a ring-shaped monster is running rampant, trying to harm people. Be careful if you encounter it."

"Oh, so you went out for a while and got wanted, so you came back to my place for refuge?"

Hong Butian continued to drink water slowly: "Then I think I know why. It's because of that incident last year. That weasel used so-called 'fate of immortality' to cheat so many young people in our family."

The term "fate to the immortals" has almost become an unlucky phrase now, as if saying it is cursing someone to die.

"There's something a little strange about this place."

The ring grumbled, "Before, they rushed to pursue it, but now they avoid it like the plague. How can one achieve great things in cultivation if they lack a steadfast heart for seeking the Dao and only think of running away when faced with danger?!"

"That's not necessarily true..."

Hong Butian covered half of his mouth with a water cup and casually said, "Moreover, is it possible that those who sought immortality before and those who are fleeing now are not the same group of people?"

After all, many people have died tragically in the jaws of tigers, and you, for example, haven't you ended up like this too?

After a pause, Hong Butian's eyes hardened: "Of course, I will definitely not give up. My heart for seeking the Dao is as firm as a rock!"

"Then why don't you listen to me tell you about this opportunity!"

The ring couldn't help but say, "Can you stop clinging to your Five Elements Sect all the time? What's wrong with my Medicine King Sect?"

"Then I've already said it..."

Before Hong Butian could finish speaking, there was a sudden knock on the door, interrupting him. The ring that had been floating on the table fell down instantly and squeezed into a corner, pretending to be dead without moving.

"Bu Tian? Is Bu Tian here? Open the door, it's urgent!"

"Hey, Dad, you're here!"

Hong Butian quickly opened the door and invited his father, Hong Zhenjia, in. Before his father could even sit down, he couldn't help but excitedly ask, "It's news about the Five Elements Sect, right!"

"what……"

Hong Zhenjia paused for a moment, then nodded: "Yes, Bu Tian, ​​you already know?"

"Phew, sure enough, they notified us around this time last year too. A year has passed in the blink of an eye!"

Hong Butian looked up, an uncontrollable smile on his face, but tears of emotion welled up in his eyes: "Is it finally my turn? I can finally join the Five Elements Sect...?"

"Um, Bu Tian..."

Hong Zhenjia's expression was strange: "Actually, what Dad wanted to say was..."

"Dad, I know, I know everything!"

Hong Butian hugged his father tightly and patted his back: "I know you've been under a lot of pressure for me this past year. I know, I know everything!"

Releasing his father, Hong Butian patted his chest and solemnly said, "Everything you've done for me is recorded here!"

Don't worry, when I finish my studies and return, I will definitely come back to bring honor to our family. You don't need to worry about me; I'll definitely be doing well there!

"Um, Bu Tian..."

Hong Zhenjia said with some reluctance, "What Dad is about to say might be a bit too much for you, but you have to hold on."

"Don't worry, Dad."

Hong Butian straightened his back, his eyes shining brightly: "I've been waiting for this day for a long time!"

"hope so……"

Hong Zhenjia took a deep breath and still didn't hide anything: "The latest news is that the Five Elements Sect has suddenly closed its mountain for some reason, and it is very likely that no airships will come to recruit disciples this year."

I heard that recruitment will resume only after the mountain closure ends!

Hong Butian: "..."

"Son, how are you? Son, hang in there! Don't scare your dad! Take a deep breath, huff, huff, yes, deep breath, take it slow..."

"Snapped……"

Hong Butian saw his father out of the house and repeatedly promised that he was emotionally stable and would not do anything foolish.

only……

Hong Butian leaned against the door, then slowly slid down and collapsed to the ground, his eyes lifeless.

"Why is it that problems always seem to occur when it comes to me..."

The mountain is closed...who knows how long it will be closed...a year? Two years? Or longer?

By then, will I still be the right age...?

Perhaps it's time to give up...

"Oh ho~~"

The ring floated over gently, its voice smug: "Look what I've found! Oh! A boy who has lost his dreams!"

"Oh dear, you were just saying your pursuit of the Way was unwavering, and now you're thinking of giving up?"

"..."

Hong Butian glanced up at the ring, his eyes slightly red, then turned his head away: "Ah, that's reality. I can accept it. What's the big deal..."

Well, now you can laugh at me, laugh at my unrealistic dream…

"What are you laughing at!"

The ring bounced and tumbled on Hong Butian's head, and he said with exasperation, "You still have me, don't you? I am..."

"Grand Elder of the Medicine King Sect..."

Hong Butian said weakly and listlessly, "So what? Aren't you a fraud ring...?"

"You're the one in the fraud ring!"

The ring slammed into Hong Butian's head with increased force: "I told you to listen to me! I told you to finish! But you wouldn't listen! Now you can listen to me properly, right?"

"Well……"

Hong Butian sighed and waved his hand, saying, "Whatever..."

"Listen up, didn't I just say that weasel, who's only at the Qi Refining stage, can transform into human form?"

Ring coughed twice, trying to get Hong Butian to focus: "Actually, he accidentally entered the ruins left by a master alchemist for a trial."
