Let's walk together for the rest of our lives. If the host says to leave, she will leave.

The disciple's face froze. The people around him handed him a ladder and told him not to bother with Jiang Shuning. He snorted coldly, loosened his collar and pushed Jiang Shuning.

"You'd better pray that you can become an inner disciple in the sect competition."

For some unknown reason, the Third Elder suddenly took a liking to Jiang Shuning, an outer sect disciple, half a year ago and secretly gave him a lot of training resources.

The disciples knew each other well, so it was natural that Jiang Shuning would go to the inner courtyard from time to time. As the saying goes, what is worrying is not the lack of resources but the inequality of resources. Naturally, he was rejected by the others.

However, strength has always been respected in the sect. If Jiang Shuning fails to become an inner disciple, the third elder will probably not continue to take care of him, and he will be in trouble then.

Jiang Shuning slowly straightened his collar that was pulled askew, and looked at the backs of those people. A layer of coldness gradually emerged in his eyes, which was immediately covered by a smile.

Jiang Shuning, you are still too weak.

After being excluded, Jiang Shuning simply moved out of the residence of the outer courtyard disciples and built a small house on the outskirts. Although it was simple, it could shelter him from the wind and rain.

At this moment, there was a hole in the roof of the hut that he had built with great effort, and the broken bricks and tiles fell down and happened to land on his bed.

His face darkened, and when he got closer he discovered that there was a piece of white jade between the broken tiles. It felt cold to the touch and was filled with spiritual energy.

He frowned and thought, wondering if someone was trying to frame him.

In the outer sect, his cultivation resources were truly enviable. Being excluded was not a big deal, but he was afraid that someone would want to destroy him.

The method of framing others is crude, but it is effective.

The simplest way to deal with it is not to actively hand it over to find the owner, but to -

Spiritual power was floating in his hand, and he wanted to destroy the jade, but he was shaken away by an unknown force, and the jade fell back onto the bed.

He was slightly surprised. It seemed that this piece of spiritual jade was a good thing, maybe even a magic weapon.

Take it for yourself? Don't be ridiculous. Things of unknown origin can be fatal. The sect competition is coming up, and Jiang Shu would rather not let anything go wrong.

Then you can only hand it over voluntarily.

"Who should I give it to?" Jiang Shuning said to himself, "Master Feng is good."

Master Feng is the manager of the herbal medicine shop. He has a mild temper and is sensible, so he shouldn't make things difficult for him.

He picked up the spirit jade again and walked out. When he reached the door, the spirit jade in his hand seemed to suddenly have self-awareness and flew into the house and hung in the air.

Gu Ling really didn't expect that the owner of the house was actually a good boy who returned lost property.

This was the world of cultivating immortals, and resources for cultivation had to be either snatched or picked up. She had never seen anyone voluntarily give away resources.

What kind of weirdo is this young man in front of me?

Fake·honesty·real·Jiang Shuning, who was very vigilant, turned around to grab the jade, but missed it. The man and the jade started a game of chase.

Soon the room was in chaos. Jiang Shuning ended the meaningless chase and gnashed his teeth: "Who the hell are you?"

The spirit jade circled around Jiang Shuning, and Gu Ling inside said, "A wisp of spirit, stay here for the time being."

Gu Ling thought carefully about this mission. Although she could not return to the original owner's body, this was the world of immortal cultivation after all. She could just command others to take the original owner's body away from Tianqing Sect.

The world of immortal cultivation is still too difficult to deal with, so Gu Ling plans to escape after completing his mission.

Gu Ling cannot extend the original owner's lifespan, but he can shorten it, that is, leave the original owner's body in advance and go to the next world.

Not everyone can separate their soul from their body. Jiang Shuning was alert and asked, "Who are you? What do you want to do?"

"My name is Gu Ling." Gu Ling glanced at the hole in the roof. "I'm sorry for damaging your house. This is my apology."

As he finished speaking, a bottle of Foundation Establishment Pill appeared on the table, of excellent quality.

The Foundation Establishment Pill is not a rare pill, but due to its special function, it is a hot commodity in the market. The bottle in front of you is worth one hundred mid-grade spirit stones. You should know that the spirit stones that an inner sect disciple gets a month are only ten mid-grade spirit stones.

Jiang Shuning accepted it without hesitation, turned around and ordered him to leave, and the spirit jade flew in front of him.

"I want to make a deal with you. If you help me get something, I will agree to three of your requests." Gu Ling added, "Any request is fine."

Jiang Shuning sneered: "You are so arrogant. I asked you to find a cultivator in the Tribulation Crossing Stage to be my master. Can you do it?"

"Yes." Gu Ling did not hesitate, "Is this your first request?"

Jiang Shuning finally became serious now.

There are only five known cultivators in the Tribulation Crossing Stage, and they are respectively in charge of the five major sects. They rarely come out, let alone accept disciples.

The life span of a cultivator is limited, even those in the Tribulation Crossing Stage, but no cultivator in the Tribulation Crossing Stage is willing to die of old age.

When they reach this level, they are devoted to seeking immortality and do not care about the mundane world anymore.

Could it be that the soul in this spiritual jade is a low-key cultivator in the Tribulation Crossing Stage? Or does he have connections?

"Who do you plan to let be my master?"

Gu Ling replied: "I am a cultivator in the Tribulation Crossing Stage."

A phoenix in distress.

It seems he is lucky.

Jiang Shuning sat down, resting his elbows on the table, interlocking his fingers and resting his chin, smiling faintly: "What are you going to take, senior? You won't let me lose my life, will you?"

This means agreed.

"I'll tell you when the time comes." Gu Ling replied, "I'll protect you."

Jiang Shuning thought for a moment and said, "For such an important matter, it would be better to sign a contract. What do you think, senior?"

Gu Ling agreed. In fact, even without him saying it, Gu Ling was also prepared to sign the contract.

The contract that embodies the will of heaven has been completed and no one may violate it.

The contract had two names on it, and it disappeared after the contract ended.

After signing the contract, Gu Ling asked him, "When will you become my disciple?"

"Senior, please don't be anxious. Actually, I haven't thought about the three requests yet." Jiang Shuning tilted his head, "Senior, can you come out of the Lingyu?"

"can."

"Can I see what you look like, Senior?"

Gu Ling asked back: "Is this your first request?"

He sighed: "Senior really doesn't understand romance."

The original owner was a person who said what he meant and answered every question without beating around the bush.

Seeing that he had no intention of making any demands, Gu Ling told him some things to pay attention to.

It is not convenient for Gu Ling to move around in the spiritual jade. She has not had contact with the outside world for two hundred years. If she wants to take her body out from the Tianqing Sect, she needs to plan carefully, so she lets Jiang Shuning carry the spiritual jade with him.

"Don't worry, I will hide you well, Senior." His tone seemed to have a hook, and he was always smiling.

Jiang Shuning strung the jade together with a rope and wore it around his neck, hiding the jade inside his collar.

There was a piece of jade hanging around his neck. The color was dull, and the wear and tear of the rope showed that it had been worn for a long time.

The spiritual jade brought a cool feeling when it touched his skin. Jiang Shuning let out a low "hiss" and then he found that the spiritual jade that was emitting the chill seemed not to be cold anymore. After a while, it was infected with the same temperature as his body temperature.

The smile on his lips widened, and there was some genuine warmth in his eyes.

This is... too soft-hearted.

Jiang Shuning stood up and began to clean up the mess in the room. He took some tools, walked out of the door, jumped onto the roof, and began to repair the roof with ease.

Gu Ling saw his actions and said, "You can just use magic to repair it. I can teach you."

Jiang Shuning's cultivation level was not high and he was still in the Qi Refining Stage. She thought Jiang Shuning didn't know this kind of magic.

Jiang Shuning declined: "Don't you think it would be more fulfilling to do it yourself?"

Gu Ling didn't understand his sense of accomplishment. She just thought that the boy was shy and embarrassed to admit that he didn't know this kind of magic. However, she didn't intend to interfere and just watched the boy repair the roof quietly.

It was already a little late when Jiang Shuning came back, and by the time he finished repairing the roof, it was completely dark.

He hadn't started the fasting period yet, and his stomach was growling with hunger. But he wasn't in a hurry to eat, and instead asked Gu Ling for a pill to fill his stomach.

Gu Ling seldom eats earthly food. Although she is a congenital spiritual body, in order to reduce impurities in her body and make her cultivation more smooth, she always took fasting pills before she started fasting. She didn't think there was anything wrong with Jiang Shuning's behavior.

Jiang Shuning grew up eating grains, and he preferred delicious food to elixirs. However, the place responsible for cooking for the outer disciples probably had run out of food by then, so he was too lazy to make a wasted trip.

Since she didn't ask, Jiang Shuning naturally didn't say anything.

Feeling full, Jiang Shuning sighed slightly, put his tools into the storage bag and lay down on the roof.

The sky is dotted with stars, the moon is bright, and the breeze is blowing gently. The young man puts his hands behind his head, bends one leg, and looks at the starry sky in a relaxed and comfortable manner.

Gu Ling: "What are you doing?"

Jiang Shuning: "The night sky is beautiful, isn't it?"
