A cat that lingers beside a saint

Su Bai let out a deep breath.

"not good."

Why?

"The scenery was beautiful, but we almost got discovered."

Su Bai's words startled the old Taoist priest slightly.

Were they discovered?

How could there possibly be anyone here, unless...

A shadow crossed the old Taoist's eyes, but he quickly recovered.

Su Bai wouldn't lie to himself.

But since he said he saw someone, he must be right.

However, since we can't see Su Bai's primordial spirit, it means that the other party's cultivation level is not high enough. Perhaps it's just a coincidence, or perhaps it's a little kid who has just embarked on the path of cultivation practicing the art of flying and happened to encounter him.

After a moment of silence, the old Taoist priest shook his head and said, "It's alright, it's good that you're alright."

"There are many cultivators in this world, and you are not the only one. If you don't want to be bullied, you must cultivate diligently. Only by cultivating to the highest level can you protect yourself."

"Then what is the highest level?"

Su Bai's question was very direct, and the old man didn't know how to answer it for a moment.

Yes, what is the highest level?

Is it invincible under heaven?

Or will he be among the immortals?

To say it's invincible...

What's so good about being invincible?

Looking back, those who used to boast about their invincibility are probably all bones by now.

These two words are a curse; whoever claims to be invincible is destined to die young.

As for being ranked among the immortals.

That's a good option.

However, the world has long since changed beyond recognition, so there is no immortal to be ranked among.

Ultimately, it's still better to live in seclusion deep in the mountains.

After pondering for a moment, the old Taoist patted Su Bai's head and said, "Just keep practicing like this. When you feel you're ready, you'll be considered a master."

"Has Master completed his apprenticeship?" Su Bai suddenly asked.

The old Taoist priest was taken aback. After a moment, he tapped Su Bai's head with his finger and said, "Me? I'm not a cultivator, why would I need to graduate?"

After Su Bai left, the old Taoist priest stared blankly into the distance. After a long while, he coldly snorted and said, "This is my disciple, not yours!"

No one knew who the old Taoist was talking to, and the other party did not respond. The old Taoist glanced coldly into the distance, then turned and entered the Taoist temple.

……

Su Bai sprinted through the forest at high speed. Since he had cultivated at dawn, he found that his speed had become even faster.

Not only that, even their claws and teeth have become sharper.

The ancient tree that he originally used as a cat scratching post can now have a large piece of bark torn off with a light scratch.

The stones used for grinding teeth are as fragile as tofu, crumbling at the slightest touch.

In Su Bai's view, his situation should be considered as becoming stronger.

It can become stronger or stronger.

He is still growing, and being a cat, grinding his teeth and claws has become a habit over the years.

He felt uneasy if he didn't grind it every day.

However, there are not many things left in this mountain forest that can withstand his sharp teeth and claws.

Just then, a whooshing sound suddenly came from the sky.

The moment he looked up, Su Bai's body trembled violently.

A long sword enveloped in a bluish light fell straight down in his direction.

Upon seeing this, Su Bai hurriedly turned and ran.

To his surprise, the sword seemed to have a GPS tracker installed, and it kept following him.

Su Bai turned a corner, and it turned a corner too.

Su Bai climbed the tree, and it followed suit.

Perhaps sensing something, Su Bai suddenly stopped and then abruptly turned to look at the sword.

The longsword stopped at that moment.

This scene, however, made Su Bai realize something.

Is this sword intended to follow him?

When I was nestled in my master's arms before, I heard him tell stories about babies automatically recognizing their owners.

But Su Bai didn't pay much attention to it at the time, after all, a story is just a story.

But now this has happened to him.

He slowly raised his cat paw and gently patted the sword.

The longsword was indeed sentient; when Su Bai touched it with his claws, it knew to actively avoid the blade.

After testing the waters, Su Bai stood up and grabbed the hilt of the sword.

[Magic Item: Qingping Sword (???)]

"The Qingping Sword?"

"The name sounds nice."

Qingping Sword did not resist, but allowed Su Bai to hold her in his arms.

Unfortunately, he had no hands and couldn't grasp the sword hilt. However, the sword seemed to be able to sense Su Bai's thoughts. As long as he had the slightest thought, the sword would move according to his will.

It can move forward or backward, left or right, large or small, and is full of spirit.

The blade is extremely sharp, capable of cutting through rocks and splitting gold, as well as chopping wood and felling trees.

Su Bai was immediately delighted.

I was just worried about not finding a good thing to sharpen my teeth, but now that I have this sword, why worry about not being able to sharpen my teeth?

It's more than enough to sharpen teeth, let alone claws.

However, although the longsword possesses a spirit, that is all it can do.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have offered no resistance when Su Bai used her to grind her teeth.

Looking at the small sword in his hand, Su Bai liked it more and more.

He plans to return to the Taoist temple and share it with his master.

Just as he was about to leave, a figure landed in front of him.

The newcomer was a young man, dressed in a white robe, and holding a knife in his hand.

He descended from the clouds, glanced around, and then focused his gaze on Su Bai.

"cat?"

"Hmm? It has some intelligence. It seems to have gained sentience and received a great fortune. Why don't you come back with me and be my pet?"

Upon hearing the other party's words, Su Bai narrowed his eyes slightly, but after thinking about it carefully, he did not make a move.

He put the small sword in his mouth and then quickly ran towards the Taoist temple.

Su Bai was incredibly fast; in the man's eyes, he disappeared in the blink of an eye.

"Such speed! That's quite impressive. It would be perfect to catch it and keep it as a pet."

Su Bai was very fast, but the speed of the person behind him flying on his magical artifact was not bad either.

The presence of a human and a cat, one in front and one behind, caused all the birds and beasts in the forest to become restless.

Su Bai was anxious, as he had never fought with anyone before.

Even with supernatural powers at his disposal, it would be difficult to land a single, decisive blow against an opponent who is highly focused.

Just then, the bell rang in my ear.

Su Bai's eyes lit up slightly, and then he quickly ran in the direction from which the bell was coming.

At the same time, the man also heard the strange ringing.

The moment the bell rang, my soul trembled; it seemed that if I took another step, my primordial spirit would be shattered.

He quickly stopped, sat cross-legged on the spot, and began to circulate his spiritual energy to fight back.

As he circulated his spiritual energy, he also glanced at Su Bai, who was constantly rushing around, and a look of horror flashed in his eyes.

The kitten was completely unaffected?
