I Outworked the Entire Cultivation World-Chapter 191 - 163: A Mortal’s Pursuit of Immortality
"Are you really Wan’er’s fellow disciple? Did my Lin Family ancestor send you? Or is Wan’er bringing us to the Immortal Gate to enjoy prosperity?"
Lin Shoushan’s face was full of excitement. The servant next to him glanced fearfully at Jiang Yuebai, bowed his head, and retreated two steps, cowering.
Jiang Yuebai currently had the Qi Storage Talisman given by Lii Jiuchuan tucked within her lapel, her revealed cultivation only at Qi Cultivation Sixth Layer.
"May I come inside for a detailed conversation?" Jiang Yuebai asked.
"Ah, yes, yes, please, Little Immortal Master, do come inside."
Lin Shoushan personally led Jiang Yuebai into the courtyard, his face flushed with excitement, unable to contain himself.
Jiang Yuebai used the Heavenly Eye Technique to sweep the surroundings, finding nothing unusual, though besides the sulfur smell of the hot spring water, there was a strong medicinal scent in the courtyard.
That medicinal smell was also on Lin Shoushan, whose complexion, marked by dark circles under his eyes, was vibrant yet his footsteps were rather unsturdy without him realizing it, suggesting he’d taken some Essence Blood-stimulating medicine.
Such medicine could temporarily bring a person’s body to peak condition, but it mostly consumed their lifespan.
As Jiang Yuebai pondered, she said, "Senior Sister Lin specifically instructed, saying Uncle Lin’s three direct descendants were not abundant, so she asked me to prepare these Elixirs promising many children and great blessings. I wonder if there is already a lady with good news?"
Lin Shoushan was overjoyed upon hearing this, "Yes, there is, indeed!"
Jiang Yuebai smiled, "Then please ask Uncle Lin to bring her here, for it is important that I personally witness the Elixir being consumed. The Immortal Sect’s Elixirs must not be leaked, as the impact would be significant."
"Lin Quan! Hurry and gather everyone, come to the main hall."
Lin Shoushan ordered the servant beside him, who hesitated for a moment and quietly said to Lin Shoushan, "Master, perhaps you should first confirm if the Immortal Master and our young lady are truly..."
"Just go when told, why so much nonsense, get going!"
Lin Shoushan kicked Lin Quan, who crouched back timidly, covered in snow as he left to gather people.
In the main hall, Lin Shoushan seated Jiang Yuebai at the head of the table, smiling ingratiatingly, inquiring about Lin Suwan’s and Heavenly Interence Sect’s affairs.
"May I ask boldly, why is it that our Wan’er is not coming herself but sending the Little Immortal Master? Can I meet the ancestor of the Lin Family again? If the ancestor doesn’t want to humble himself, could the Little Immortal Master tell me the location of your Immortal Sect, so I can visit myself?"
"You’re so eager to enter the Immortal Gate?" Jiang Yuebai asked.
Lin Shoushan resolutely replied, "Naturally, having witnessed the miracles of our ancestor that defy heaven and earth, how could I settle for mundane life? Even if it means squandering all my wealth and abandoning everything around me, I would gladly seek immortality and the path."
"Entering the Immortal Gate won’t be as comfortable as life now."
"Compared to immortality, what does this life count for?"
Mortals all see immortals as ideal, yet immortals also envy mortals.
"So you’re frantically having children just to seek immortality?"
Jiang Yuebai’s question was direct, and Lin Shoushan replied awkwardly, "Wan’er is my descendant. I’m merely hoping to have another child like Wan’er with an Immortal Root. When my ancestor returns, I can ask him to take me into the Immortal Gate, or grant me Cultivation Method for self-cultivation! Wan’er would surely mean this, she’s too young to decide, so she sent the Little Immortal Master with Elixirs, isn’t that right?"
Jiang Yuebai chuckled, Lin Shoushan truly could imagine, seemingly not hiding anything. Could he really be desperately bearing children only to see Lin Xiangtian again?
"But your ancestor didn’t take you last time, how can you be certain he’ll take you next time?"
Lin Shoushan tensed up, uncertain, but he was simply gambling.
At this time, the room was filled with sleepy-eyed ladies, all with varied belly sizes, entering unaware of the events.
Jiang Yuebai scanned them, as Cai Ren had said, nothing seemed amiss, including the maids waiting outside, attending to the concubines.
"By the way, it’s said that you have been in good health lately, have you consumed anything?"
Jiang Yuebai had just asked when a soft sound came from outside, causing her expression to tighten as she rushed out like the wind.
Outside the courtyard, the Great Array Barrier enclosing the entire residence was triggered, now rippling like water from a point on the outer wall.
Arriving, Jiang Yuebai saw the servant Lin Quan knocked down, clutching his chest with blood at the corner of his mouth.
Facing Jiang Yuebai, Lin Quan’s eyes shifted with panic, he threw out a small bottle.
Bang!
Pink mist spread, encircling Jiang Yuebai.
The Fire Evil energy from Jiang Yuebai dispersed the pink mist immediately, Lin Quan paled from shock and fled.
Standing firm, Jiang Yuebai commanded the surrounding wind and snow to halt under her Divine Sense control, snowflakes gathering into balls, like wild horses halted by reins, their neigh stirring.
Go!
The snowball shot out, striking Lin Quan entirely, followed by the sound of cracking bones.
Lin Quan screamed, collapsing with both legs and arms broken.
Jiang Yuebai parted the Great Array Barrier slightly, allowing Cai Ren to enter from outside.
"Why him?"
Cai Ren, surprised, immediately approached and slapped an Immobilization Talisman onto Lin Quan.
Lin Quan had no cultivation, merely someone with some martial arts skills.
Jiang Yuebai’s peripheral vision swept to Lin Shoushan and his numerous concubines in the distance; all were frozen, considering her extraordinary.
Jiang Yuebai frowned and waved her hand, the Spiritual Energy within the array stirring wind and snow, blocking everyone’s view.
"Bring Lin Shoushan over."
Cai Ren nodded in agreement and quickly left.
Jiang Yuebai approached Lin Quan, glancing down, "I thought I’d have to put more effort into this, but you’re already scared stiff and trying to flee? Or planning to alert others?"
Lin Quan stared at Jiang Yuebai with resentment, "If you kill me, my master won’t forgive you lightly!"
Jiang Yuebai raised an eyebrow, "Who is your master?"
Lin Quan gritted his teeth and lowered his head, unwilling to speak.
Cai Ren brought Lin Shoushan over, who gazed at Jiang Yuebai with awe.
"What is the meaning of this? If my servant offended the Little Immortal Master, I hope you can forgive him on account of Wan’er and my ancestor."
"Don’t be so insincere, Lin Shoushan!" Lin Quan suddenly spat blood mist, cursed loudly, then laughed maniacally.
Exchanging a glance, Jiang Yuebai and Cai Ren saw Lin Shoushan’s bewildered face.
Lin Quan shouted, "Your Lin Family is worthless; even your ancestor and your precious daughter won’t die well!!"
"Lin Quan! You’re being insolent!!" Lin Shoushan angrily rebuked.
Jiang Yuebai and Cai Ren watched silently.
Lin Quan yelled, "Today I feared your ancestor would come and uncover my secret, but don’t expect me to betray my master. We all face death eventually, I fear nothing! These days I’ve enjoyed everything Lin Shoushan had, I have no regrets even in death!"
"You... what do you mean?" Lin Shoushan exclaimed, stunned, "Weren’t you crippled with one kick by me back then?"
"Hahaha, my master is an Immortal Master, able to revive the dead and heal bones, what does this count for? Those twelve beauties of yours, their bellies all carry my seed!"
A bolt from the blue!
Lin Shoushan felt dizzy, plopping onto the snowy ground.
Cai Ren swallowed, casting a sympathetic glance at Lin Shoushan.
"If not ruined by her today, once these children are born, they’ll also have Immortal Roots for Immortal Cultivation!"
Lin Quan glared at Jiang Yuebai hatefully, his body suddenly shaking, visibly beginning to expand.
"Watch out!" Cai Ren shouted, quickly turning to dodge.
Bang! 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚
Lin Quan exploded into a blood mist, Lin Shoushan was horrified.
Jiang Yuebai remained unfazed, her Foundation Establishment pressure dissipated the blood mist instantly.
"Little Green!"
A red lantern flashed from Jiang Yuebai’s brow, swirling in mid-air, absorbing a gray light.
"Don’t swallow yet, I have a use for it."
