I was reborn as a young master in an invincible family of immortals

Chapter 33: Immortal Sect's First Experience and Potential Crisis

In this quiet and peaceful Xianzong courtyard, Lin Xiao, Su Yao, and I gradually began to adapt to our new life here. When we first arrived, everything seemed so new and full of challenges.

A few days passed, and we, following the white-robed man's instructions, familiarized ourselves with the Immortal Sect's surroundings. Every morning, as the first rays of sunlight shone across the Immortal Sect's picturesque scenery, we would rise, inhale the rich, almost condensed spiritual energy within the courtyard, and begin our day's training.

The spiritual energy of this immortal sect is a world apart from that of the outside world. Simply standing in the courtyard and absorbing the spiritual energy, I can feel the spiritual power slowly flowing through my body. The effect is several times better than my usual cultivation within the sect. I secretly rejoice, thinking that if I can cultivate here for a long time, my strength will surely improve by leaps and bounds.

Besides abundant spiritual energy, the Immortal Sect also boasts a wealth of cultivation resources. The man in white arranged for someone to take us to the Immortal Sect's Sutra Library to select cultivation manuals and elixirs suitable for our current stage. Entering the Sutra Library, rows of tall bookshelves were filled with a variety of ancient tomes, while the walls were inlaid with night-shining pearls, illuminating the entire space as brightly as day.

Lin Xiao, Su Yao, and I wandered among the bookshelves, our eyes filled with wonder and eagerness. Every tome here seemed to hold endless mysteries, waiting for us to uncover. Finally, we each selected a few techniques that matched our own cultivation paths, collected some precious medicinal elixirs, and returned to the courtyard, feeling satisfied.

In terms of cultivation, the man in white fulfilled his promise and arranged for experienced elders to guide us. These elders were all elites of the immortal sect, and their insights into the way of cultivation were profound and unique. Often, a single word could enlighten us about the confusions we encountered during cultivation.

However, as time went by, I gradually noticed some subtle changes, and an inexplicable uneasiness surged in my heart.

Every time I practice, I feel like there's a pair of invisible eyes watching us from the shadows. The feeling is so subtle, if I hadn't experienced so many dangers before and was so sensitive to the movements around me, I probably wouldn't have noticed it. At first, I thought I was just being overly suspicious, but when I spoke with Lin Xiao and Su Yao, I discovered they felt the same way.

"Do you feel like someone in this immortal sect is secretly observing us?" One day, when we were resting in the courtyard, I said to them in a low voice.

Lin Xiao frowned and nodded, "I have the same feeling, and it happened more than once. I thought something went wrong with my training and that I was too nervous."

Su Yao also said solemnly: "It seems that it is not our illusion. But the white-clothed man arranged for us to come to this immortal sect. It should be very safe. How could someone spy on us secretly? "

The three of us exchanged glances, each seeing worry in the other's eyes. This Immortal Sect may appear peaceful and tranquil, exuding a sacred and solemn aura, but this secret spying is like a venomous snake lurking in the shadows, poised to strike us deadly at any moment.

In order to find out the reason behind this, we decided to investigate secretly. In the following days, in addition to practicing, we began to pay attention to the movements around us.

Once, on my way to collect cultivation resources, I deliberately took a detour, pretending to admire the beauty of the Immortal Sect while actually keeping an eye out for anyone following me. Sure enough, as I passed through a bamboo forest, I faintly sensed a subtle fluctuation of spiritual energy behind me. The fluctuation was extremely subtle, as if someone was deliberately concealing their presence.

My heart moved, and I continued forward without making a sound, quietly channeling my spiritual energy, ready to respond to any danger. When I reached a corner deep in the bamboo forest, I suddenly stopped, turned sharply, and focused my spiritual energy into my eyes, trying to see through the disguise of the hidden person.

The moment I turned around, the spiritual energy wave disappeared, as if everything just now was just an illusion. But I knew that person must be nearby, just hiding very well.

I pretended nothing had happened and continued walking forward, but I was thinking about countermeasures in my heart. After returning to the courtyard, I told Lin Xiao and Su Yao about the situation.

"It seems that the person spying on us is very cautious and doesn't want to be discovered." Lin Xiao clenched his fists and said angrily, "We should be cultivating peacefully in this immortal sect, but now we are being stared at like this. It really makes us feel uncomfortable."

Su Yao pondered for a moment and said, "Maybe we can set up a game to lure the dark man out. Since he wants to know our situation so much, let's give him a chance and see what he wants to do."

Lin Xiao and I felt that Su Yao's proposal was feasible, so we began to discuss the specific plan.

After some discussion, we decided to fake a fierce quarrel in the courtyard and deliberately leak some false information about our cultivation progress and our understanding of the inheritance to see if we could lure the person in the dark into the trap.

On the day of our plan, the three of us, following our pre-arranged script, began arguing loudly in the courtyard. Lin Xiao pretended to argue with me over our differing understandings of inheritance, while Su Yao pretended to mediate, her voice loud enough for anyone within a certain radius to hear.

During the argument, we deliberately revealed some ambiguous false information about the accelerated progress of cultivation and new breakthroughs in certain aspects of inheritance.

After the argument lasted for a while, we pretended to part ways and went back to the house. After that, we quietly hid in the house and observed the movements outside the courtyard through the cracks in the window.

Time ticked by, and at first nothing unusual happened. But just when we thought our plan had failed, a dark shadow suddenly flashed past from behind a large tree outside the courtyard. It was so fast that if we hadn't been watching closely, it would have been difficult to spot.

"Here it comes!" I whispered, feeling both nervous and excited. Nervous because I didn't know who this shadow was or what his purpose was; excited because our plan seemed to be working, and we might finally be able to solve the mystery of this secret spy.

The three of us cautiously walked out of the house and chased in the direction the shadow had disappeared. Along the way, we tried not to make any noise, relying on our perception of spiritual energy fluctuations to track the shadow.

However, the shadow seemed to sense that we were following it, and its speed increased, and it chose to escape along some remote and difficult paths. We chased it closely, but gradually, the shadow became more and more blurred in our sight, and finally disappeared without a trace.

We stood there, staring at the direction the shadow disappeared, filled with regret. We finally had a chance to get closer to the truth, but the person in the dark still escaped.

"What should we do? If we let him get away this time, it will be difficult to lure him out again in the future." Lin Xiao said helplessly.

I frowned, thinking about my next move. At this moment, Su Yao suddenly said, "Wait, I seem to feel a familiar breath."

We hurriedly looked at Su Yao, only to see her close her eyes and concentrate on sensing the breath. After a while, she opened her eyes and her face became very ugly.

"Do you still remember those sects and forces in the valley who wanted to snatch our inheritance? The aura I felt just now is very similar to the aura of some of them." Su Yao's words were like a blockbuster bomb, exploding in our hearts.

Could it be that those sects and forces were unwilling to give up and actually sent people to infiltrate the Immortal Sect to continue spying on us, looking for an opportunity to snatch the inheritance?

If this is true, then our situation in the Immortal Sect is even more dangerous than we imagined. Not only do we have to face this threat from behind, but we also have to be constantly on guard against further actions that those sects might take.

Meanwhile, in other corners of the Immortal Sect, the mysterious black shadow had already disappeared, leaving only the three of us standing there, anxiously thinking about how to deal with this increasingly complicated situation and protect our hard-earned inheritance and our own safety.

In this seemingly peaceful immortal sect, a new crisis seems to be brewing quietly, which may break out at any time and drag us into a deeper vortex.
