It was late at night and everything was silent. Lin Xia followed Su Linghan out of the Lin Mansion step by step.

When Lin Beiye picked up Su Lingxue, she had nothing on her to prove her identity. She had lost all her cultivation and had nothing of her own, otherwise she would not have been taken back by Lin Beiye as a beggar.

At this time, Su Linghan could not bring back anything except the remains, and could not even collect any clues.

Born into a family of cultivators and becoming a direct disciple of a major sect, Su Linghan had never felt so frustrated in his life.

However, everything that happens under the sunlight will leave traces. After a long period of cultivation, the truth will always come to light.

Reaching out to stroke the equally silent Lin Xia's head, his fingertips tracing through her rough hair, Su Linghan softened his voice, speaking in a rare gesture: "This matter is over. Are you willing to come with me?"

Where to go? Follow him to cultivate immortality? Feeling the gentle movement on his head, Lin Xia couldn't suppress her joy. Could she really be cultivating immortality? But her face remained calm.

Lin Xia looked up and asked calmly, "Are you going to cultivate immortality? Will you accept me as your disciple?"

Su Linghan was momentarily stumped by her question. After a pause, he spoke, "I will take you back to the cultivation world, but my cultivation isn't high enough to accept you as my disciple. Besides, I'm your uncle."

He paused, as if he didn't know how to start, or as if he was having difficulty speaking. After a long while, he continued, "Your spiritual roots are rather mixed, and your talent for cultivation is not good. I'm afraid you can only be an outer disciple of the Xuantian Sect. However, if you are willing, I can take you back to the Su family, where your mother and I were born."

In fact, Su Linghan's words were quite tactful. As one of the ten major sects in Qianyuan Continent, Xuantian Sect had relatively strict conditions when recruiting disciples. Someone with Lin Xia's qualifications could probably barely be a menial disciple.

However, when Lin Xia heard this, she felt that her aptitude was too poor and she was being despised, and her uncle was unwilling to take her back to the sect.

Who made Su Linghan so cold, like a deep and unfathomable cold pond, that he looked difficult to get along with?

However, for Lin Xia, being able to go to the world of cultivation was already a qualitative leap, not to mention returning to his maternal grandparents' home, so he immediately agreed.

However, Lin Xia soon learned that the Su family he was about to visit actually had no real relatives. The Su family was one of the eight great families in the Central Continent of Qianyuan Continent. It was very powerful and had a large family. However, apart from his uncle, they only had half of their bloodline left.

At this time, Lin Xia was sitting on the flying boat of Xuantian Sect. It was a small flying boat specially used for disciples to fly long distances. It was an essential means of transportation for disciples to go out on missions. It only needed to be filled with spirit stones to provide spiritual energy to fly for a long time. The flying boat was the work of weapon refiners.

Thanks to the cheerful Li Mingyi, Lin Xia has now learned a lot of common sense in the world of cultivation.

For example, disciples like them are ordinary cultivators in the world of cultivation, not the so-called immortals in the mortal world. They are just one of the many immortal cultivators who are pursuing the great way, and immortal cultivators are cultivators.

Not all cultivators in the world of cultivation are righteous. There are also some evil cultivators, and there are also sects like the Hehuan Sect that are both righteous and evil.

The cultivation levels of cultivators from low to high are: drawing Qi into the body, refining Qi, building the foundation, golden elixir, Nascent Soul, spirit transformation, overcoming tribulation, and Mahayana.

A cultivator who has advanced to the Golden Core stage is honored as a True Person; a cultivator who has advanced to the Nascent Soul stage is honored as a Dao Lord; a cultivator who has advanced to the God Transformation stage can already serve as the Peak Master or Elder of a sect, and is honored as an Immortal Lord; and a cultivator in the Tribulation stage who has transcended the heavenly thunder of the Tribulation stage is almost always the treasure of each major sect, and is honored as an Ancestor; entering the Mahayana stage means there is hope for ascension. As long as the cultivation base reaches a certain level, one can sense the ascension glow and be led to the fairyland to become a true immortal without suffering from the thunder tribulation.

The place where Xuantian Sect and the Su family are located is called Qianyuan Continent, which is divided into the East Border, West Border, South Border, North Border, and Central Continent.

Among them, there are many sects and schools of cultivation in the four realms, while there are many aristocratic families of cultivation in Central Continent, among which the eight most famous families are the most famous and have a profound foundation.

Lin Xia and his companions did not return directly to Qianyuan Continent on this trip, but went to other countries in the mortal world to continue looking for promising immortal cultivators with spiritual roots for the sect.

In a blink of an eye, more than half a year has passed. Lin Xia has changed her previous thin image and vaguely looks a bit like Su Lingxue in the past.

Su Linghan and others finally decided to return to Qianyuan Continent.

On this day, passing through a small country in the mortal world, the monks of Xuantian Sect took Lin Xia and other prospective disciples to stay overnight in a small town called Wuxi.

This is a very small town, located in a remote area. There is not even an inn in the town. Su Linghan and others can only split into several groups to stay in the homes of the townspeople.

At night, Lin Xia felt suffocated in her sleep. She opened her eyes with difficulty and sat up. However, in the moonlight, she saw fog filling the entire house. The fog was thick and strange, as if it had life. It noticed that Lin Xia had woken up and rushed straight to her face.

Lin Xia's pupils shrank slightly, and she was so frightened that she stood there in a daze, allowing the fog to gradually approach. When the fog was about to penetrate into Lin Xia's eyebrows, Su Linghan arrived in time and swung his sword to disperse the fog.

"Don't be afraid, this is a fog nightmare, a mountain monster that cultivates by sucking the essence of living things." Looking at the frightened Lin Xia, Su Linghan comforted her.

Li Mingyi, who arrived later, was relieved to see that Lin Xia was not hurt. He wondered, "Low-level monsters like the Fog Nightmare usually only live in the mountains and woods. It's strange that they suddenly appeared in front of people. But the world is so big that there are all kinds of strange things. Maybe they just think you, Xiaoxia, are so delicious and they suddenly want to change their taste." Perhaps to comfort Lin Xia, Li Mingyi teased her.

However, these words did not comfort Lin Xia, and instead made her even more uneasy. At the same time, they earned Su Linghan a cold glance.

After regaining consciousness and finally feeling less weak in the legs, Lin Xia got out of bed and lit the candles in the room. At this time, it was not far from dawn, and Lin Xia did not want to sleep anymore.

Li Mingyi finally noticed Lin Xia's pale face and felt guilty. Yes, this child had been a fool for eighteen years. Once she woke up, she was exposed to this strange world. It was natural for her to feel scared. He really shouldn't have joked with her.

Lin Xia didn't understand cultivation, and only knew the superficial aspects of the world of cultivation. Only now did he begin to gain a more concrete understanding of the long road to immortality. Previously, he had only known that embarking on the path of cultivation would lead to becoming a cultivator, able to soar through the heavens and burrow into the earth. Now, he finally glimpsed a hint of danger, and his longing for immortality brought him back to reality.

The mortal world has its own rules, and mortals have their own way of living. The world of cultivation has its own rules. Cultivators are bound by the laws of heaven and walk a different, unknown path. This path is not as smooth as imagined. It may be full of dangers or it may be smooth sailing. Everything is waiting for Lin Xia to explore.
