Longevity Fairy: Sister, Please Wait A Little Longer

Chapter 1 001: Qi Refining Third Layer Inner Disciple and a Free Gift of a Dao Companion

Dang!

Dang!

Dang!

The plan for the day begins in the morning. As the sound of the bell rings, disciples from both the inner and outer gates of Azure Cloud Sect start to move, rushing towards the Cloud Viewing Platform to watch the annual grand competition.

But all of this has nothing to do with Chu Bai.

The young man in a gray robe walks on the stone steps towards the back mountain, his gaze fixed on the mountains and clouds.

However, certain voices still reach his ears.

"Senior Wang, who is this fellow disciple?"

"Oh, him? He's our Chu Changge, the only Qi Refining Third Layer inner disciple of Azure Cloud Sect."

"Shh, don't let Senior Changge hear that, he's an orphan of the elders."

Azure Cloud Sect, once occupied one of the peaks of the inner sect during its peak period. But with the passage of time, talents dwindled, and the disappearance of Chu Bai's parents led to the Chu family being expelled from Azure Cloud Sect.

Chu Bai, the son of the two missing Gold Core elders.

The mountain road is rugged, and Chu Bai cannot leave immediately, so the discussions continue.

"I see. But Senior Wang, even the son of an elder cannot violate the sect rules. The threshold for our Azure Cloud Sect's inner sect is Qi Refining Seventh Layer."

Just as there are national laws for a country, there are rules for a sect. Even if one uses connections and shortcuts, reaching the Qi Refining Late Stage is still the hard threshold for the inner sect of Qingyun.

Not only that, if a Qi Refining disciple fails to break through to Foundation Building within the specified time limit, they will also be sent back to where they came from.

"Yes."

Senior Wang said, "Because of the sect rules, if our Senior Changge cannot advance to Qi Refining Seventh Layer within this year, it doesn't matter how good the days are, they will be over."

What a load of nonsense!

As someone in a position of power, factional struggles are inevitable.

During the glory days of the Chu family, there was naturally no problem with reaching the Qi Refining Third Layer. But who made the Chu family already extinct?

Perhaps the downfall of the Chu family can be traced back to the fact that Chu Bai was born in a mountain village instead of Azure Cloud Sect.

...

Not long after, the heavy and loud sound of the drum announces the official start of the disciples' grand competition.

At this moment, Chu Bai has already walked to the medicinal garden in the back mountain. Although there is unwillingness on his delicate face, there is more calmness that should not exist at this age.

Those discussions were not wrong. If he cannot cross the threshold of Qi Refining Seventh Layer by the end of this year, he will be expelled from the inner sect.

As the bloodline of the Gold Core elders, Chu Bai reached the Qi Refining Third Layer at the age of six.

However, for some unknown reason, his Spirit Vein was damaged, and his cultivation stagnated, earning him the nickname of "the only Qi Refining Third Layer inner disciple."

Chu Bai has been anxious, angry, and even cursed the unfairness of the heavens.

What about the inheritance left by his parents?

It has long been spent on treating the Spirit Vein.

Until three months ago, he had a vivid dream where he became a resident of Blue Star China.

When he woke up, although his own Spirit Vein problem remained unsolved, the experiences of another life made him think of other ways.

Azure Cloud Sect is located in the Zhou Kingdom. Apart from the Daoist Immortal Sect, the Great Zhou Dynasty itself is also a major Transcendent Level power.

Scholars under the king can also cultivate a righteous aura and rise to the ranks of the strong.

Moreover, ordinary Spirit Medicine methods may not be able to heal the Spirit Vein in his body, but the Confucian righteousness of the scholars might be able to.

"Decided. I will become a copyist, writing a poem every three days, a ci every five days, and then compile ten or eight classic novels. I will update thirty thousand words daily and bury those scholars with my works!"

Just as he was thinking that becoming a copyist in this world is not so easy, where scholars look down on each other and information dissemination is inconvenient, and one has to navigate through the officialdom, literary talent alone is not enough to be considered extraordinary for a lifetime.

"Ding dong"~

Prompt: Host, please stay!

A metallic synthesized sound suddenly rings out.

Chu Bai furrows his brows and looks around for the source of the sound. The ten seconds quickly pass.

In his previous life, he had naturally seen protagonists with systems and Goldfingers in literary works.

But shouldn't the Goldfinger appear at the end of the dream?

Chu Bai thought that the dream of another world was his Goldfinger.

"Ding dong"~

Prompt: The Immortal Path to Longevity, the Wealth Companion Method, has detected that the host is facing the risk of being expelled from the sect and has come to assist.

[Chu Bai]: 16 years old, inner disciple of Azure Cloud Sect.

[Cultivation]: Qi Refining Stage Third Layer.

[Spirit Vein Aptitude]: Fire Spirit Vein (damaged).

[Wealth]: 10 (236) pieces of Low Grade Spirit Stones.

[Dao Companion]: None.

[Cultivation Technique]: Bone Forging Art.

[Martial Technique]: Light Body Technique (Perfected).

[Divine Ability]: None.

[Law Weapon]: None.

[Cave Mansion]: Thatched Cottage.

[Luck]: None.

...

Hint: Host detected to currently be unable to obtain luck.

Hint: Host detected to have a low level, unable to use Law Weapon.

Hint: Host detected to have a low level, unable to display Divine Ability.

...

Chu Bai: "......"

Nonsense!

If I had great luck, how could I still be at the third level of Qi Refining after ten years?

What kind of Law Treasure Divine Ability can there be at the third level of Qi Refining?

"Ding~"

Hint: Host detected to currently have no Dao Companion.

Another piece of nonsense.

In the great dream of those years, he did have a Dao Companion, but that was just a dream, a dream!

But speaking of Dao Companions, Chu Bai thought of his own Senior Sister Xiao. According to their agreement, once Chu Bai advanced to the Foundation Building stage, they would become Dao Companions and live together.

"Senior Sister Xiao"

That gentle figure that had accompanied Chu Bai from childhood to adulthood, if there was anything that had supported him in continuing his Qi Absorption cultivation for the past three months and kept him at Azure Cloud Sect, it could only be Senior Sister Xiao.

"Ding~"

Hint: Due to the host facing difficulties, the system will gift a named Dao Companion for free!

Immediately after, a semi-transparent square appeared in front of Chu Bai, with the following written on it: List of optional Dao Companions -

[Xiao Qingrou]: 22 years old, Inner Sect disciple of Azure Cloud Sect, early stage of Foundation Building (late stage), three-star favorability.

[Childhood Sweetheart], [Mutually Dependent], [Virtuous Wife and Loving Mother], [Frugal and Thrifty], [Clear Ice, Pure Jade], [Reincarnated Spiritual Pearl], [Daughter of Fortune], [Disciple of the Saint].

[Reward for becoming Dao Companions with Xiao Qingrou: Supreme Grade Foundation Building Pill *1.]

"Ding~"

Hint: When the target's favorability is four stars or higher, the confession will definitely succeed.

Hint: Named Dao Companions are exempt from favorability rules, but formal agreement from the other party is required to officially become Dao Companions.

Hint: Named Dao Companions do not affect the other party. If the other party becomes Dao Companions with someone else, the binding will be broken.

Hint: Named Dao Companions occupy one Dao Companion position. Host's cultivation must reach the Foundation Building stage to add new positions.

Chu Bai: "???"

It feels like this sudden system finally has a bit of a system's appearance.

He and Senior Sister Xiao grew up together, living in a small mountain village.

Little Chu Bai was just a foolish kid. At the age of six, he broke through to the third level of Qi Refining and showed off in front of his sister. Seeing that his sister wasn't very happy, he took on the responsibility and guided her Qi into her body, helping her break through.

In any case, Senior Sister Xiao was going to be his wife when she grew up, and the agreement to become Dao Companions after Foundation Building was made at that time.

Now, ten years have passed. His parents have passed away, and only Senior Sister Xiao is left by Chu Bai's side.

Although Senior Sister hasn't said it, Chu Bai knows that with his trash-level cultivation at the third level of Qi Refining, he hasn't been expelled from the Inner Sect, and Senior Sister must have been secretly helping him.

"So Senior Sister is the Daughter of Fortune."

Chu Bai laughed at himself and shook his head.

He didn't care about the rewards, but the fact that the system could give rewards out of thin air proved that it had unexpected power.

With the system activated and Foundation Building in sight, there's nothing wrong with designating Senior Sister Xiao as a named Dao Companion.

In the medicinal garden behind Azure Cloud Sect, the road is lush on both sides. In the depths of the garden, on one side of a small medicinal field, Chu Bai's small thatched cottage can already be seen from afar.

"Foundation Building is in sight."

Chu Bai muttered these four words, about to make a choice, when new lines of text suddenly appeared below the square -

[Ning Wanqiu]: 3012 years old, Sect Master of Azure Cloud Sect, peak of Soul Formation, no favorability.

[Master of a Sect], [Natural Sword Immortal], [Flawless Sword Heart], [Clear Ice, Pure Jade], [Nine Heavens Profound Maiden], [Unswerving Loyalty].

[Reward for becoming Dao Companions with Ning Wanqiu: Innate Cave Mansion *1.]

A fresh and tender newcomer, seeking collection, recommendation, and support~
