Traveling through time to cultivate immortality: a life and death test

"Brother Liu, are you free? Can you come with me? I need your help." Liu Xing was cultivating in his cave when he received Su Yingying's voice transmission. He counted on his fingers and realized that he hadn't seen this beautiful woman for eight or nine years. He wondered if her cultivation had improved, and he was also looking forward to meeting her.

"I have time. Yingying's business is my business, but I have to obey orders." Liu Xing replied immediately. He didn't feel any burden when he was with Su Yingying. After they became familiar with each other, he started to speak in a more casual way.

"Hehe, Brother Liu is so nice. I'll come to your cave to find you now." Su Yingying said happily and prepared to come over.

An hour later, the beautiful Su came to the door of Liu Xing's cave. Liu Xing went out to meet her, and the little dragon followed her out happily.

"Brother Liu, long time no see. Yingying missed you so much." Su Yingying was obviously dressed up carefully. She looked at Liu Xing with a smile on her face, her eyes conveying affection.

"My Yingying has become even more beautiful, and her cultivation has improved a lot. Come in and talk." Liu Xing looked at her, nodded in praise, and invited her in. It was Su Yingying's first time in Liu Xing's cave, and she was curious, looking around. The cave was empty except for a stone bed; it was clean and deserted. "Brother Liu is truly a diligent and hardworking person," she thought silently. "No wonder he has achieved such great success. He doesn't know how to enjoy life at all."

"My humble abode is shabby and I'm sorry for the poor hospitality. Yingying, please don't be offended. Just sit by the bed." Liu Xing looked around and found that there was not even a table. He felt a little embarrassed, so he thought quickly and pulled her to sit by the bed.

"Brother Liu is so mean. He dragged me to bed on my first visit, haha." Su Yingying chuckled and even made a joke about him. She was thinking about her lover, so she climbed onto the bed without hesitation and rolled around a few times, sniffing around to see if there was any scent of Brother Liu. The stone bed was actually just a stone pier, with no bedding on it. It was hard. Most of the time, Liu Xing just sat cross-legged on the bed and meditated.

"Haha, you're already in the wolf's den, and you still want to run? I'll eat you up in one bite." Liu Xing pretended to pounce on the bed. Su Yingying screamed in fear, but the smile in her eyes didn't show any fear at all. In fact, she was actually quite hoping that Brother Liu would actually pounce on her, but it was just a beautiful fantasy. Brother Liu just poked her waist twice and tickled her. After a while of playing around, the two of them sat cross-legged on the bed facing each other and started to talk about business.

Su Yingying had discovered a cave dwelling left behind by a Jindan-level cultivator. She had originally planned to secretly search for treasure there, but upon reaching the cave, she discovered a powerful barrier that she couldn't break. That's when she came to Liu Xing for help. Yingying described clues to the cave as having been discovered five or six years ago. After years of meticulous exploration, they had recently located its exact location, approximately ten thousand miles from the sect's main gate.

"Brother Liu, can you go with me?" Su Yingying asked expectantly.

"Of course, when do you want to leave?" After listening to her, Liu Xing felt that there was no problem, so he agreed to help her.

"That's great, Brother Liu, you're so nice to me." Su Yingying jumped up and kissed Liu Xing on the face unexpectedly, her face flushed with shame. Liu Xing was stunned. No, no, this little girl is a little too much. We have to leave quickly. So he looked at Su Yingying in surprise and left the stone bed as if frightened. Su Yingying was a little helpless when she saw Liu Xing's behavior. Brother Liu is such a fool. I took the initiative like this, but why didn't he show any reaction? Then she was a little worried that she was too radical and scared Liu Xing.

"I need to get ready. Let's leave in three days." Liu Xing quickly found an excuse and prepared to see the guest off. He also liked Yingying, a beautiful and generous girl, but he was determined to pursue the great way and didn't want to owe any more debts of love, so he had been rejecting her intentionally or unintentionally.

"Okay, then I'll come back to see Brother Liu in three days." Su Yingying also put her little thoughts aside and said goodbye and left.

Three days later, Liu Xing and Su Yingying, riding on Jiao Jiao's back, left the sect to search for treasure. Shortly after they left the sect, a piece of news reached Liao Hua: "The fish has taken the bait."

"Hehe, this time I will make sure you never come back." Liao Hua said viciously, and she immediately went to find Liao Qingfeng.

"The fish has finally taken the bait! All our years of planning paid off. Let's set off immediately and ambush there first." Liao Qingfeng was overjoyed. So, grandfather and grandson set off from the Liao family's house and flew at full speed towards their destination.

Liu Xing and Su Yingying weren't particularly anxious, so they didn't rush at full speed. Jiao Jiao maintained half speed. They took in the beautiful scenery as if they were enjoying a scenic trip. The scenery outside the sect was more natural and less artificial than inside. Su Yingying held Liu Xing's arm the entire time, clinging to him like a young wife, laughing and chatting happily along the way, a truly pleasant experience.

If only I could be with Brother Liu every day, Su Yingying thought to herself. It seemed as if this trip was not an adventure to find treasure, but a trip to enjoy the mountains and rivers. Finding more treasures would not be as precious as the time spent with Brother Liu at this moment. With the company of a beautiful woman, Liu Xing's anxiety about his stagnant cultivation was slightly relieved. He just thought of it as a way to relax. He looked at Yingying, who was chattering like an oriole beside him, and felt her love for him. He felt very conflicted. What a good girl, but she was going to be hanged on the tree of his own again.

The two men walked and stopped, moving slowly forward, which made Liao Qingfeng and his grandson anxious. They rushed all the way and hurried to the vicinity of their destination, hiding their tracks and lying in ambush. They estimated that the other party should arrive in three days, but who knew that they had been waiting for more than ten days and still hadn't arrived. They once suspected that the fish had escaped halfway.

"Grandpa, these two bitches won't not come, right?" Liao Hua, after all, had a lower cultivation level, and was the first to lose his temper.

"Don't worry, Hua'er. Wait patiently. I'm afraid these two were delayed along the way." Liao Qingfeng was knowledgeable, scheming, and incredibly patient. It was no wonder that under his management, the Liao family had reached its peak. He was planning to train more junior members and forge more allies, solidifying the family's foundation and ensuring its continued success for generations. This was why he went to great lengths to pave Liao Hua's way, sending her into the Thousand Machines Sect and deliberately currying favor with Ge Teng. To earn the friendship of a Nascent Soul-level senior would be a true blessing. Therefore, Liu Xing's death was crucial to Liao Hua's chances of ever catching Ge Teng's eye again.
