Chapter 220: Chapter 219: The Second-in-Command of the Immortal Lineage_1

“There are mainly two reasons why they are stopping me.”

“The first reason is that everyone occupies resources; not only for survival but also for a better life.”

“If everyone lived forever, occupying a massive amount of resources, life would become extremely difficult for the newborns. They would need to battle against the old monsters or beg for some resources from them. As a result, life becomes harder for each generation. They would be born not to enjoy, but to suffer. Over time, the world will become lifeless.”

“The second reason is that the lifespan of every creature is limited, it can be seen as a rule. If everyone becomes immortal, it will conflict with the rule of lifespan, which would shake the foundation of the Eternity Dao Fruit.”

“Although I think they are not as smart as me, these two points make sense, so I accepted them.”

“However, Lu Yang, rest assured. Although I can’t make everyone immortal, I can give you a nascent Eternity Dao Fruit, so your immortality won’t be a problem.”

Fairy Eternity generously said, “So, would you like to join my line of Eternity? Trust me, you’ll have a luxurious life, everything you want will be at your disposal.”

“From then on, you will be the second-in-command of my line of Eternity!”

“I have a question: How many people are there in the line of Eternity?”

“Three people: me, you, and Sha Meless. Your status is even higher than Sha Meless, and being immortal…well, you can appreciate the value of the position”, Fairy Eternity laughed.

Every one of the Five Immortals of the Ancients had their disciples and followers. While not many, none of them only had one disciple.

Fairy Eternity was an exception.

There was actually only Fairy Eternity in the line of Eternity. Sha Meless was forced to transfer to Fairy Eternity’s side, tricked by someone unknown.

And Lu Yang was just recruited by Fairy Eternity.

Lu Yang was silent for a few seconds, then resolutely shook his head: “I will rely on my own effort.”

“Well, that’s boring.” Fairy Eternity pouted, somewhat disappointed with Lu Yang’s choice.

She genuinely wanted to give Lu Yang a nascent Eternity Dao Fruit and have him follow her.

A countless number of people tried to be accepted into Fairy Eternity’s line during the ancient times, but all were rejected by Fairy Eternity. As for those who harbored ulterior motives, Fairy Eternity didn’t even bother with them.

From the ancient times till now, Lu Yang was the most to her taste out of all the cultivators she had seen. This was the first time she invited someone to join her line on her initiative.

Yet, she was refused.

“Can Immortal Fairy see that Li Haoran possesses the Dao Fruit of Reincarnation? Or maybe a nascent Dao Fruit of Reincarnation?” This was Lu Yang’s primary concern at this point.

Fairy Eternity shook her head: “I can’t perceive that, it’s tricky.”

“Alright.”

…

Lu Yang’s conversation with Fairy Eternity seemed to have taken a long time. However, it was much faster in Spiritual Space than in reality.

In reality, Li Haoran was still insisting that he has no relation to Qin Haoran.

Just imagine it. If he accepted being Qin Haoran’s reincarnation, what would happen?

He would have a heavenly beautiful wife who was at the Unification Stage.

He would have a lively and lovely daughter.

He would have a constant flow of resources including spirit stones, elixirs, weapons, and all kinds of valuable materials.

He would even have a protector at the Unification Stage.

…Seems like there’s nothing wrong with acknowledging being Qin Haoran’s reincarnation?

Wait a minute. He needed to consider the drawbacks of this action.

Li Haoran pondered for a long while, and he felt like there weren’t any disadvantages.

“Bewitching woman! You’re ruining my Dao heart! My goal is to become a cultivator as talented as Senior Brother Lu. I won’t rely on external support, but on my talent and abilities to cultivate to the highest realm!”

Look at Senior Brother Lu, who was of the same age, yet he had become the Acting Sect Leader. As for himself, he could only rely on others.

“I guess that’s it for today. We’ve been troubled for a whole day. Let’s all rest for now.” Li Haoran’s parents, noticing the discussion wouldn’t be concluded anytime soon, decided to drop the topic for the time being.

“We have plenty of guest rooms at home. You and Little Meng came such a long way from Seek Dao Sect. Stay in Luofeng County for a few more days.”

“Yanyan and Su Yiren, you don’t need to stay in the inn anymore. Just stay here.”

Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou didn’t decline the good intentions of Li Haoran’s parents. Under the persuasion of Su Yiren, Qin Yanyan also agreed to live there.

After a long day of discussion, it was finally dinner time. Without mentioning Qin Haoran, everyone got along well.

“Oh, we have talked for so long, and dinner still isn’t ready!” Li Haoran’s mother was somewhat flustered.

Lu Yang stopped her: “Please let us handle the cooking, Meng Jingzhou and I are renowned for our cooking skills in the Seek Dao Sect!”

Li Haoran’s mother was a little hesitant, but Li Haoran, who was aware of Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou’s skills, persuaded her to let them cook.

Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou smoothly took out several items from their jade identity cards, such as a barbecue grill, a brush, a fan, skewers, meat, seasonings…and most importantly, the Automatic Skewer Formation.

This was the recent achievement of Masters Liu and Gao, responding to Fairy Eternity’s call towards bringing their barbecue restaurant even beyond Seek Dao Sect, to reach across the whole continent.

What’s the most essential thing about a chain of restaurants? Of course, it’s standardization and uniformization.

The starting point of standardization and uniformization was this Automatic Skewer Formation.

Qin Yanyan, watching from the side, couldn’t help but twitch her mouth. She had heard that the disciples from Seek Dao Sect were multi-talented, but she thought it referred to numerous kind of cultivation talents.

Why does it even include barbecuing?

Upon listening to Li Haoran’s introductions, these two are disciples with exceptional status, one being the personal disciple of the Sect Leader and the other being the heir of the Meng Family. So, are they all so down-to-earth in their actions?

“Real Fire?!” Qin Yanyan exclaimed upon seeing Lu Yang spewing True Fire.

The difficulty of cultivating True Fire, a kind of flame even Golden Core Stage cultivators have difficulty mastering, is as tough as scaling the heavens.

Li Haoran snorted disdainfully: “Even worse, it’s the Samadhi True Fire, one of the highest-ranking kinds of True Fire!”

“Do you know who Senior Brother Lu and Senior Brother Meng are? They are the top two students of our generation!”

Qin Yanyan’s eyes widen in surprise. She had heard before that Li Haoran ranked fifth in his generation and thought it was due to his lack of ability.

After fighting with him, she had to admit that even without his wig, she wouldn’t be able to defeat Li Haoran.

During that time, she wondered, Li Haoran was capable but still just fifth, what kind of monsters were the top four?

She now knew.

Li Haoran’s mother was surprised to discover that Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou were in fact the top two students of Li Haoran’s generation, which explains why she liked them so much.

“Look at Lu Yang, Haoran. He surely gets up before the sunrise to practice every day, unlike you, wasting your days without studying or practicing diligently. I bet you would sleep until the sun shines on your bottom whenever I’m not around. If only you were half as hardworking as Lu Yang!”

Li Haoran couldn’t help but feel resentful. If he knew, he wouldn’t have brought Senior Brother Lu and Senior Brother Meng here.

Plus, what dedication were Senior Brother Lu and Senior Brother Meng showing? They were all the same age, they all knew about each other’s habits, and everyone had similar routines.
