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

Nie Xiaoqian had long since given up wanting to stay in Haibin City. Liu Xing, appreciating her talent for cultivation, took it upon himself to bring his beloved friend into the Thousand Machine Sect. The two hit it off immediately, agreeing to return to the Thousand Machine Sect together in three days.

Nie Xiaoqian went back to say goodbye to her senior sister, and the leader of Huanxi Sect naturally tried to persuade her to stay. But she also knew that her junior sister's future was paramount. Unlike herself, whose path to advancement had been nearly cut off, she was so obsessed with power and cultivating her own influence. With her junior sister gone, she would be less of a threat, her position more secure, and all those who were left in the sect would surely fall to her side. However, the downside was that the sect would lose a mid-stage Jindan expert, halving its strength and requiring a smaller sphere of influence. The thought of a future where Huanxi Sect would have the final say was exciting.

Nie Xiaoqian is a dedicated cultivator. Besides collecting cultivation resources and reading books, she spends almost all of her time in seclusion. It's this dedication that has led to her current achievements. She's a powerful figure within the Happy Sect, a skilled thug who has helped eliminate several rivals and repel waves of villains. She holds no power within the sect, nor does she have any disciples or servants. Her senior sisters offered her servants, but she refused them all, remaining aloof and dedicated to her practice to this day.

When she felt depressed during her training, she would miss her master, and occasionally think of Liu Xing, whom she admired so much. Now that her master had passed away, she was truly alone and helpless. She had already made up her mind: after completing the defense of Seaside City, she would leave here completely.

Who would have thought that in the fight with the Blue Dragon, she was seriously injured and on the verge of death. In her dying moments, Liu Xing descended from the sky, like a god descending to earth, saving her from danger. All this happened so miraculously, it can only be said that it was destined by fate.

Her brother Liu was no longer the same as before. Not only was he about to become the leader of the Thousand Machine Sect, but his strength was also unmatched. Upon returning to Haibin City, he promised to take her to the Thousand Machine Sect. She was so happy that she agreed immediately.

We stayed in Qianji City for five or six days just to wait for all the demon soldiers to evacuate and ensure that they would not come back.

Today was the time to leave. The squad led by Liu Xing now had a new member. This newcomer was incredibly beautiful, stunningly stunning. The male team members couldn't take their eyes off her, and the female team members felt ashamed of themselves. While everyone felt her presence was familiar, they had definitely never seen her face before.

"Haha, let me introduce her again. Everyone knows this Miss Nie Xiaoqian. What you see now is her true face. She is my friend for many years. Now I want to recommend her to Qianji Sect to become our senior sister." Liu Xing introduced to everyone enthusiastically.

"Greetings to all the senior brothers and sisters. Please take care of me in the future." Nie Xiaoqian stood close to Liu Xing, bowed and smiled slightly.

"You're most welcome! You're most welcome!" This smile made everyone intoxicated, and they all hurriedly expressed their welcome.

Miao Qiuyue was the only one feeling extremely disappointed. She had thought the ugly duckling, who looked ordinary, had now transformed into a beautiful white swan, prettier than she was and a level higher in cultivation. How could she possibly compete with Liu Xing? Yu Shan, a perceptive person, seemed to notice Miao Qiuyue's disappointment. She quickly went over, took her arm, and walked with her, mumbling something personal.

The group retraced their steps and soon arrived at the Qianji Sect. They arrived at the Sect Master's office to hand in their assignments and report to Lu En on the battle situation in Haibin City. Briefings on the situation there had already been sent to the Sect Master, and Lu En was already aware that the demon army had retreated to Haibin and the siege had been lifted. While he knew that sending Liu Xing would undoubtedly resolve the conflict, he hadn't expected him to do so quickly and efficiently. This seamless victory solidified Liu Xing's position as Sect Master, leaving Zhong Qiuyue and Pei Xiu to watch in despair.

"Thank you for your hard work, fellow brothers and sisters. This trip has been successfully completed. Your mission rewards have been paid into your bank cards." After listening to everyone's detailed reports, Lu En was extremely satisfied with the completion of this mission, especially Liu Xing's performance, which made him extremely pleased.

"Thank you, Master Lu. It is our duty to complete the sect's mission. We will take our leave." After thanking him, everyone said goodbye and left.

Liu Xing deliberately stayed and called Nie Xiaoqian, who was waiting in the square, to come in.

"Senior Brother Lu, this Miss Nie Xiaoqian is a good friend I met when I was practicing in Haibin City. She is an elder of the Huanxi Sect in Haibin City. This time I recommend her to join the Qianji Sect. I hope Senior Brother, the Sect Master, will approve." Liu Xing introduced.

"Hello, Senior Brother Lu." Nie Xiaoqian bowed obediently and followed Liu Xing in calling him Senior Brother.

"Miss Nie, you don't have to be polite. With your cultivation level of the middle stage of the Jindan period, you are more than qualified to join my Qianji Sect. Welcome." Lu En saw through Nie Xiaoqian's cultivation level at a glance, and also saw her attachment to Liu Xing at a glance. He thought to himself that they were indeed a perfect match.

"Let Liu Xing find a good master for you. Junior Brother Liu will be fully responsible for your arrangements. I have other things to do here, so you guys should go quickly." After Lu En agreed to let Miss Nie join the Qianji Sect, he handed her over to Liu Xing.

Liu Xing was very helpless. Why was Senior Brother Lu like this? What would Miss Nie do? Nie Xiaoqian also stared at Liu Xing with innocent eyes, meaning that I am relying on you.

Liu Xing had no choice but to take her to the Sakura Market, rent a cave in a picturesque setting, and settle her down there. As for her master, Liu Xing already had a candidate, but he had to seek the elder's consent first.

A rare visitor arrived today at the cave of Nangong Yan, the elder of the Forbidden Peak. It wasn't quite rare, really. When Liu Xing was first confirmed as a candidate for the sect leader, he had been favored by Elder Nangong for his exceptional talent in the field. During that time, he frequently sought guidance from the elder regarding the field. However, Elder Nangong had been in seclusion for decades, achieving a breakthrough to the middle stage of the Nascent Soul, so he hadn't seen him since. Elder Nangong was indeed incredibly talented, and since he and Su Xingchen were both from the Forbidden Peak, he naturally received special attention from the Great Elder, allowing him to successfully advance to the middle stage of the Nascent Soul. Nangong Yan, having just emerged from seclusion with her cultivation solidified, was overjoyed.

"Junior Brother Liu is here. I heard that you won another victory this time and did not bring shame to my Restriction Department. It seems that the position of the head sect leader belongs to you." Nangong Yan teased Liu Xing.

"Uncle Master, you are too kind. It is because of your good cultivation that I have achieved what I have today. I would also like to congratulate you on your successful advancement to the middle stage of the Nascent Soul. There is a great future ahead of you!" Liu Xing flattered him fiercely.

"Hehe, you are really a flatterer. You are strong, handsome, and good at talking. I wonder how many girls will be harmed by you in the future." Nangong Yan teased him because she was quite familiar with him.
