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

Liu Xing possesses a wealth of knowledge and experience, so anyone who interacts with him finds it incredibly rewarding. His easygoing demeanor, humorous language, and intertwined praise often elicited laughter from his senior sisters. Coupled with his handsome appearance and noble status, many of them have secretly fallen for him. Compared to Zhong Yueqiu's cunning and Pei Xiu's rigid, straight-laced masculinity, Liu Xing is far more approachable, so after a few interactions, nearly half of the female cultivators would likely be drawn to him. Accomplished immortals possess a celestial aura, naturally devoid of any appearance. Each one dazzled with their dazzling attire, dazzled Liu Xing.

As for the brothers, they were naturally not fooled by Liu Xing's appearance. However, they were very interested in his unparalleled combat power, and they discussed more about cultivation and martial arts. Apart from his core secrets, Liu Xing was very secretive about everything else, so the brothers had a good impression of him. In addition, he had led the army for several years, and naturally had a military charm, which made it easier for male cultivators to get close to him. He talked about hunting monsters in the deep sea, catching beasts in the mountains, killing enemies on the battlefield, and the friendship between comrades and brothers. Listening to him, the brothers were excited, as if they were there in person. Some brothers who were more thoughtful would go to the new Jindan group to communicate and inquire about Liu Xing's situation. They found that he was even more powerful than Liu Xing described himself, and they immediately had a little admiration for Liu Xing.

Besides fighting and killing, the men's conversations often included beautiful women and fine wine. One of the brothers was a heavy drinker, so Liu Xing quietly gave him a sip of Monkey Wine, instantly captivating him and enlisting him. Even when discussing beauties and sexual pleasures, Liu Xing's extensive practical experience, having acquired several secret techniques from disciples of the Hehuan Sect, solidified his theoretical knowledge. He was more than capable of handling such conversations, and even impressed the brothers who enjoyed the technique, drawing them in as close friends.

In social situations, Liu Xing was at ease, quickly gathering everyone's contact information and mingling with them. While they might have their own agenda, they all appeared harmonious on the surface.

The cocktail party lasted the entire night and ended at noon the next day.

Liu Xing dragged his exhausted body back to his cave. The intense socializing had been no less intense than a major battle. He immediately sat cross-legged, meditating, and went over all the people and events he had encountered last night, reinforcing his memory. The amount of information he had gathered was immense, and his spiritual awareness was far superior to anyone else's, allowing him to detect many subtle details. For example, the people the other two candidates had snubbed, the closeness between people, and the subtle details each person had casually revealed. His mind was like a video recorder, capturing it all.

After the video was played back, he felt even more sleepy, so he fell asleep and slept for three days and three nights before he felt refreshed.

Lu En had just taken office, and a large number of officials came to pay their respects, so he was very busy for the past three days. However, he was familiar with the people and had decades of experience in selecting candidates. He was also very familiar with various business operations and situations, and handled many matters very efficiently.

"Master Lu, are you free? I would like to come and visit you." Liu Xing contacted Lu En.

"It's Liu Xing. I have something to do right now. Come to my cave at nine o'clock in the evening. I have something to tell you." Lu En replied quickly and asked him to meet in the evening.

"Ok."

Liu Xing originally planned to go to the headmaster's office to meet Lu En, but Lu En actually asked him to go to his home. It seemed that he treated Liu Xing differently and was closer to him.

At nine o'clock in the evening, Liu Xing arrived at Lu En's cave on time.

"Greetings, Master Lu." Liu Xing bowed respectfully.

"Liu Xing is here, please sit down." Lu En pulled Liu Xing to sit at the table.

"From now on, when there's no one around, call me Senior Brother Lu, not Sect Leader." Lu En said with a smile.

"Yes, Senior Brother Lu." Liu Xing obeyed respectfully.

"Junior Brother Liu, I envy you so much for being able to become Elder Su's disciple. The master I worshipped when I entered the sect didn't make it past the infant-forming stage and passed away. Thanks to Elder Su's care over the years, I have achieved what I have today. I can be considered half of Elder Su's registered disciple. The reason I say half is because Elder Su never formally accepted me as his disciple. However, Elder Su has been kind enough to teach and support me, and I have always treated him as a master. You are Elder Su's disciple, and therefore my junior brother, so you don't have to be so polite when you see me in the future." Lu En smiled and said a long speech.

"I see. No wonder Senior Brother Lu takes such good care of me. Senior Brother, please accept my respects." Liu Xing finally understood the whole story and immediately stood up and bowed solemnly to Lu En. Lu En also quickly stood up and returned the greeting.

The relationship between the two of them instantly became closer than ever before. This demonstrates the importance of relationships in an organization. Relationships are the foundation of trust, and earning trust through performance alone is incredibly difficult.

"Senior Brother Lu, how should I arrange my work next?" Liu Xing looked at Lu En at this time and felt extremely friendly, and spoke much more easily.

"There's no rush for the work, I'll arrange it for you later. I don't think you're a power-hungry person, you're just using your status to maximize your value so you can get more useful cultivation resources. I believe Elder Su has made this arrangement for the same reason." Lu En said with a smile.

"Master has good intentions. How can I not understand them, and how can I let him down? Senior Brother Lu understands me. I came here this time to ask Senior Brother Lu for guidance." Liu Xing asked sincerely.

"To obtain resources, one must first take the initiative to plan, and secondly, wait for opportunities. You can't force it, but you can't sit back and wait," said Lu En.

"That's right. Time is limited, and we cultivators must seize every moment."

"It's good that you can figure it out. After all, fighting alone will only allow you limited contact. The fellow Jindan cultivators in the sect are your greatest support right now. You need to find ways to leverage their strength."

"Brother Lu, what you said is exactly what I want. I know very little about the brothers and sisters in the sect, and only know about the conversation we had at the dinner that day. I was just about to ask Brother Lu about their situation."

"That's easy, just listen carefully."

Next, Lu En patiently told Liu Xing everything he knew about the origins of the Jindan disciples within the sect, their cultivation techniques, their aspirations, and other related information. This information was invaluable and would be crucial in helping Liu Xing win them over.

Lu En even shared his opinions without reservation on which Jindan disciples were suspected of being spies, and reminded Liu Xing to keep secrets in future dealings, not to leak secrets, and to cooperate with him in implementing the corresponding Mission Impossible plan.

Lu En introduced everything in detail and patiently, Liu Xing listened attentively, and the day soon came to light.
