Chapter 5 – Female Elder

An incense stick of time1 later, the four people who will descend from the mountain this time gathered outside the main hall.

Yes, it was four people.

Apart from Lu Chaoge, Lu Dongli, and Xiao Qiu, there was also the Ink Sect’s contemporary great disciple, Lu Chaoge’s first disciple – Hei Ting.

The surname Hei, a slightly cooler surname.

He was originally Lu Chaoge’s personal Daoist boy who took care of his food and living, and was later accepted as Lu Chaoge’s disciple for various reasons.

His realm is – the peak of the Primordial Realm!

Xiao Qiu hid behind Lu Dongli, peeking out half of her little head and peeking at the black pavilion.

Hei Ting was a head taller than her and not too old, just 13 years old this year. He was very thin and dark, like a black monkey.

When he stood with Lu Chaoge, it was like a difference between clouds, like a cowherd boy and a noble son of a worldly family.

Xiao Qiu felt that compared to her elder brother, Senior Master looked more and more handsome.

She was a well-behaved and polite child, and after saluting Lu Chaoge, she called out in a good-natured manner, “Eldest Brother!”

Lu Dongli smiled and grabbed the goat-horn braid on Xiao Qiu’s head, saying, “Xiao Qiu, your Elder Brother is already a cultivator at the peak of the Primary Realm, when he breaks through to the First Realm, he will be able to fly with the sword, you should learn more from your Elder Brother in the future.”

Xiao Qiu smiled, nodded her head vigorously, and simply exclaimed, “Wow, Elder Brother is so powerful!”

In her eyes, the criterion for judging a master was whether he could fly or not. If ElderBrother could fly right away, then he was a quasi-expert!

When Hei Ting on the side heard this, his black face rose black and red, and he waved his hands and stared ahead.

He was mute and couldn’t speak.

Xiao Qiu obviously hadn’t realized this yet, only thinking that Eldest Brother was silent and beginning to wonder to himself: is it because I’m not cute enough?

The reason why Lu Chaoge took Hei Ting with him on his trip to the mountain was that he was about to make a breakthrough and needed to go down to the mountain to look for an opportunity, and also because when the sect leader went out, how could he not have a few people with him?

“Let’s go.” Lu Chaoge said.

Wearing a light yellow dress, Lu Dongli gently patted the incense bag hanging around her waist, which was her storage treasure. An emerald green leaf floated out and kept enlarging, fully seven to eight meters long before stagnating in the air.

This was her flying magic treasure, a leaf boat.

It was enough for a group of four people to ride together.

Their destination for this trip was the Flame Forest, which was a small distance away from the Mo Sect.

Within this forest, the leaves of most of the trees were crimson in colour, hence the name.

Within the Flaming Forest, there were Marrow Cleansing Spirit Grasses, but there were very few of them and they needed to be found slowly.

Meanwhile, deep within the Flame Forest, there are many foreign beasts lurking about!

The beasts are fierce and they are not something that an ordinary cultivator can handle, so the group of four will not go too deep.

The hidden paths within the forest were not meant for everyone to reach the deepest parts.

It was Xiao Qiu’s first time flying, and as such, she was excited and scared, her fleshy little face tense, but her big eyes extraordinarily bright.

Lu Dongli, who was in charge of controlling the leaf boat, sat at the front, her slender figure sitting cross-legged, her hair simply tied up, and began to disguise herself.

Transfiguration was a relatively basic spell, but Lu Dongli was particularly skilled in its use and can be said to be perfect.

Within a few moments, her stunningly beautiful face became ordinary.

However, because of her extraordinary temperament, even if her disguise was ordinary, it still deserved to be called “good-looking”.

In Lu Dongli’s eyes, walking around with a beautiful face was a burden that could easily lead to trouble or even crisis.

You know, the LSP2 has long conquered all the worlds, there is no place in this world where the LSP do not exist, and the cultivation world is not exempt from it.

“Ugh, it’s starting again.” Lu Chaoge muttered in his heart, “My sister is just too steady!”

After disguising herself, Lu Dongli turned her attention back to Lu Chaoge.

She knew very well that these days, good-looking male cultivators had to learn to protect themselves even when they were out and about.

Of course, under Lu Chaoge’s determined eyes, Lu Dongli finally had to choose to compromise and did not force him to cast the disguise technique.

Lu Chaoge looked ahead, seemingly letting it go, but in reality, he was staring at the quest interface, looking at the promotion quest to be claimed in front of him.

As previously mentioned, within the Tianxuan Realm, advancement quests must be done every tenth level, and one cannot continue to level up without completing them.

There were also levels of advancement quests, divided by colour, from low to high, namely Yellow, Blue, Purple and Orange.

Most players choose yellow level missions because promotion missions cannot be done in groups, and yellow level missions are simple and can be completed independently with ease.

Most people love yellow.

Blue level quests, on the other hand, are much more difficult and are only chosen by experienced players.

Purple level, on the other hand, is for the top brass of the big guilds, or even professional players to do!

As for the Orange level, even professional players might not be able to do it, and only the kind of individual players who stood at the top of the pyramid could take their chances.

Of course, the higher the difficulty of the mission, the greater the reward upon completion of the promotion mission!

For players, completing a more difficult promotion quest will further widen the gap between their strength and other players!

At this moment, Lu Chaoge was looking at the quest screen but reminiscing about the past times when he was doing the promotion quests, “remembering the good old times”.

After the reminiscing was over, he didn’t even think about it and directly collected the orange-level quest.

“What are you thinking? If you want to do it, do the best!” The Chosen One didn’t hesitate.

Immediately afterwards, he began to browse through the quest details.

After he had it in his mind, he gave a crooked smile, and a slightly sinister and impetuous smile once again appeared on his face.

“Heh, an Orange-ranked quest is no better than that.”

Today, compared to his previous life, he considered himself to have more advantages.

At this moment, a leaf boat was flying in the air not too high, not too low, not too fast, not too slow, just in case he ran into any cultivators on the way who were also flying in the sky.

In the Tianxuan Realm, flying magic treasures can be interpreted as a small car-like vehicle. If you fly too high or too fast, you will meet the kind of people who also love to race flying magic treasures, they will think you are provoking them and will easily cause trouble.

Therefore, Lu Dongli could be said to be very particular.

At the same time, her divine sense kept radiating outward, probing the surroundings. This was a way to not get lost and also to prevent tracking.

She was gifted in the divine sense, and the strength of her divine sense far surpassed that of cultivators of the same realm, sensitive and alert.

With her current level of cultivation, it would be difficult to follow her without being detected, unless they were at a much higher level!

“Safety comes first when you are out.” Lu Dongli thought.

——

Not more than a hundred meters from the party of four, a leaf boat of the same type is flying through the air.

“Master, is it really good for us to follow so close?” A slightly childish voice said.

“I am a great cultivator, not to mention this distance of a hundred meters, if I were willing, even if I were to stand in front of this girl, Lu Dongli, she would not be able to detect me.” The female voice came in a gentle tone, the kind that speaks with a bit of a trailing edge.

On this same leaf boat sat a man and a woman, a clean-cut teenager, with a plump woman.

Many men say that it is the slightly chubby ones that are the best. But what kind of woman these men mean by slightly fat, they all know.

And this woman is one of the best, the perfect slightly chubby figure in the eyes of men!

She was dressed in a black Taoist robe, with a Taoist bun on her head, dressed a bit like a kundao, or proper Daoist nun, in a Taoist temple.

Yes, there are a lot of immodest Daoist nuns.

It was just that the loose black Taoist robe could not hide her curves.

If this woman were to look down, she would not be able to see the tips of her toes.

This woman has a pair of seductive peach blossom eyes, and her whole aura is of the charming kind, which contrasts sharply with the cool and serious Daoist robe she is wearing, giving a slight sense of forbiddenness instead.

At this moment, she is sitting on the front of the leaf boat, and due to the movement of sitting down, the hem of her daoist robe is stretched tightly by her hips, and the curve of her hips and crotch is visible, making it difficult for people to move their eyes away after one look.

The woman’s name is Ning Ying3.

Ying is full, this woman is as her name suggests.

Ning Ying is one of the nine elders of the Sword Sect today, and her cultivation is profound and unpredictable. When she stomped her foot, even the entire Qingzhou had to shake with her!

Lu Dongli’s leaf boat of the same style was a gift from Ning Ying when she broke through to the First Realm.

Yes, Lu Chaoge has always laughed about having someone above her, and this Elder Ning Ying is the person above Lu Chaoge.
