I long to return home!

"Oh, Brother Xu, you're being too polite. It's fate that we met."

"Does your Luoyun Sect lack any exceptionally talented disciples?" Xue Wu asked tentatively.

Although Xue Wu disliked studying, he had read plenty of fantasy novels. Every transmigrator in these books was either the chosen one of this world's destiny or possessed extraordinary talent and a body different from ordinary people. They were destined to obtain great opportunities, rise above all others in the cultivation world, ultimately defeat the great villain, and be surrounded by countless beauties, living a carefree life with women on both sides...

As he thought about it, his face gradually became lewd, and drool even came out of his mouth.

"You? I didn't see any special talent in you. Since you call me 'Big Brother,' I can tell you some information."

"My Luoyun Sect does indeed plan to recruit new disciples, but that will be a year from now; it's still a long way off."

Xu Tao listened as Xue Wu became engrossed in his own fantasy, glancing at him with disdain.

Xu Tao himself is a prodigy of the Luoyun Sect. He entered the sect at the age of 16 and is now 22 years old. In just 6 years since entering the sect, he has reached the 12th level of Qi Refining. He is one of the most outstanding disciples in the past ten years. His master is Lin Mubai, one of the five peaks of the Luoyun Sect.

This trip down the mountain is to complete a mission assigned by the sect: to hunt down a first-tier magical beast and bring its core back to collect the reward.

"Brother Xu, I want to cultivate immortality. I'm all alone now, so I just want to cultivate immortality. Can you lead me into the Luoyun Sect?" Afraid that Xu Tao wouldn't agree, Xue Wu immediately knelt down and hugged his legs tightly, acting like a rogue.

Now, all alone in this strange world, with no one to rely on, I might starve to death or be eaten by monsters if no one takes care of me...

Xu Tao had never seen such a shameless person before, and for a moment he didn't know what to do. After thinking for a while, he took out a token from his storage bag and threw it at Xue Wu's face: "Alright, alright, this is my disciple token in the Luoyun Sect. When the Luoyun Sect recruits new disciples next year, you can use this to come find me."

"Are you satisfied now? Quickly let go of my legs."

Only after receiving the token did Xue Wu release his hands with satisfaction and carefully examine Xu Tao's face.

The person in front of me is tall and slender, with delicate features, well-defined contours, long and thin eyebrows, white and shiny teeth in his thin lips, fair and tender skin, and slender fingers that make him look like a male internet celebrity in his original world.

"What are you looking at?"

Xu Tao felt a little shy when he saw Xue Wu looking at him. He turned his head away, showing none of the fierceness and strength he had displayed when he killed the lion-tiger beast. He was like a shy woman.

After a moment of silence, Xu Tao made a hand seal and shouted, "Rise!" The iron sword in his hand immediately floated in the air like a bird. He then swayed and stood steadily on the sword. He then reached out to Xue Wu and said softly, "Come on up, I'll take you away from this place first."

Xue Wu grabbed the outstretched hand and used it to step onto the flying sword. With a whoosh, the flying sword soared a hundred meters into the air like lightning. He looked down at the ground receding into the distance, closed his eyes, and fearfully gripped Xu Tao's shoulder. The trees below rushed past like lightning.

The flying sword wasn't fast; it seemed Xu Tao had deliberately slowed it down to avoid making Xue Wu uncomfortable. After flying for a while, Xue Wu gradually got used to the feeling of flying on the sword. The wind blowing in his face felt very comfortable. Slowly, he opened his eyes and carefully appreciated the picturesque scenery.

In his previous life, he had never even been on an airplane, let alone now being able to ride a flying sword and fly through the air like in a fantasy novel. At this moment, Xue Wu felt as if he were a part of this world.

"Where do you live? I'll take you home." Xu Tao said casually after seeing that Xue Wu had gotten used to flying.

"Home? I don't know. I woke up near the burial ground not far from the forest. I don't remember anything now..."

"Returning Soul Valley?! You woke up in that place where corpses were dumped, and you don't remember anything?" Xu Tao's face froze. He turned around and looked at Xue Wu with surprise and suspicion. He saw that Xue Wu was wearing simple clothes, and upon closer inspection, he could indeed smell a faint stench of decay. Looking at his emaciated body, Xu Tao's eyes were immediately filled with pity for Xue Wu. In this unpredictable world, commoners couldn't afford to raise their children and abandoned them in Returning Soul Valley to fend for themselves...

Guihun Valley, as its name suggests, is a place where corpses are buried, in the hope that the souls of the dead can return.

...

After a long while, the two arrived at a town near the Luoyun Sect and settled down. Xue Wu looked at the bustling town with people coming and going and asked with some doubt, "Where is this?"

Xu Tao sighed and said softly:

"Water Moon City".

As he spoke, he took out some loose silver from his storage bag and threw it to Xue Wu. He looked at Xue Wu's miserable face and shook his head regretfully.

"This amount of silver should be enough for you to live on for a while... I have to go back to my sect. Take care of yourself. If you really want to cultivate immortality, come find me at Luoyun Sect in a year."

How do I get to the Falling Cloud Sect?

"If you hear a bell ringing through the sky a year from now, that will be the time when my Luoyun Sect recruits new disciples."

Xu Tao remained silent for a moment, then sighed again and flew towards the direction of Luoyun Sect.

Xue Wu held the weight of the silver coins in his hand and watched Xu Tao walk away. Looking in the direction Xu Tao had gone, he could vaguely see a huge building standing in the clouds, surrounded by five towering peaks of varying sizes... At this moment, he already knew the answer in his heart: it was the Luoyun Sect where Xu Tao was.

Holding the broken silver coins in his hand, Xue Wu smiled slightly and slowly disappeared into the crowd of Shuiyue City.

...

Xue Wu had been in this place for a year. The silver coins Xu Tao had given him years ago were long gone. To survive, he searched for work everywhere in Shuiyue City, doing odd jobs for others, living like a wage slave. During this time, he inquired about everything in this world, and now he had a general understanding of it.

The place he was in was called Tianyuan Continent. Tianyuan Continent was divided into three parts: the Wuji Empire, the Yinyue Empire, and the northern grassland tribes.

Each country possesses a vast territory, with roughly a dozen states, and the region we are currently in is Yunzhou.

Each state has a small number of cultivation sects that settle here, recruiting disciples to provide the country with military strength in order to prevent war.

This world values ​​strength above all else, and cultivators are often superior to others, highly sought after everywhere. However, the requirements for spiritual roots are stringent. Everyone possesses spiritual roots, but to cultivate immortality, one also needs sufficient fortuitous opportunities...

Rumble~

A loud bell rang throughout the heavens and earth. At this moment, a young man in Shuiyue City, dressed in simple black clothes, with a slender figure and handsome face, stood in the crowd and looked at Luoyun Sect, from which the bell rang, with a smile on his face.

This person is Xue Wu.
