"So what are your plans?" Xuan Ye asked him.
"He created a heart demon within me. As the saying goes, to untie a knot, you must go to the one who tied it. I plan to find him again, but I need your help." Cheng De stated his purpose.
Even if that young man was a Grandmaster, facing both him and Xuan Ye, Cheng De believed he would surely be unable to win.
"Alright, if that's the case, then I will accompany you to see him." Xuan Ye agreed.
Regardless of whether the young man had returned from that place or not, he must hold a great secret. If he could uncover that secret, perhaps he could advance further.
Ning Beichen, however, was unaware of all this. He had already returned to the hotel, but what troubled him was that the crazy girl had not given up and had come looking for him again.
"Miss, what exactly do you want? If you want to take me as your master, then forget it." Ning Beichen said to her, with a headache.
"Also, the person in the footage you shot is indeed me, but I am not an immortal. I just know some superficial martial arts. The scene where you saw me fly was actually due to my use of the lightness technique. I am not as mysterious as you imagine." Ning Beichen told her.
However, Xi Yi'er took it as the immortal being humble and low-key. She was even more unwilling to give up and wanted to seize this opportunity.
"Immortal, I am truly sincere in wanting to be your disciple. Otherwise, you can test me. After I pass the test, you can decide whether to accept me." Xi Yi'er said urgently.
"I already told you I'm not an immortal. Forget it, I can't explain it to you. I can give you a cultivation technique. If you can reach the introductory stage within a month, I'll consider whether to accept you." Ning Beichen was helplessly entangled by this crazy woman. He could only take out a basic cultivation technique for her. Regardless of whether she succeeded or not, after a month, he, Ning Beichen, would be long gone.
"Thank you, Immortal. I will definitely work hard." Xi Yi'er was overjoyed. She bowed respectfully to Ning Beichen and then took the cultivation technique he gave her with both hands.
"Immortal, can I study here with you?" After taking the book, Xi Yi'er said respectfully to Ning Beichen.
Ning Beichen frowned. It was an unmarried man and woman, and she felt safe being alone with him.
Just as he was about to refuse her, Ning Beichen suddenly remembered the saying that mental patients need more care.
He immediately changed his mind and said, "As you wish."
Ning Beichen did not drive her away, which made Xi Yi'er overjoyed. She repeatedly thanked Ning Beichen.
Ning Beichen invited her into the room and said to her, "Don't call me Immortal. My surname is Ning. You can call me Mr. Ning."
"Yes, Mr. Ning." Xi Yi'er finally learned the immortal's surname, which made her even more excited.
"Alright, you can stay in the living room. If you're tired, you can sleep on the sofa. Don't come into my bedroom." Ning Beichen told her.
"Yes, Mr. Ning." Xi Yi'er replied obediently.
Afterward, Ning Beichen was too lazy to bother with her and began planning his route for the next day.
Meanwhile, Xi Yi'er was looking at the cultivation technique in the living room. The words seemed simple and she could understand them, but when it came to cultivation, she didn't know what to do.
It was like she recognized all the objects in front of her, but when they were put together, they became incomprehensible.
However, Xi Yi'er practiced very seriously and diligently, but there was no effect. As for the so-called "qi sensation" in the first step, she couldn't feel it at all.
Time passed little by little. After Ning Beichen planned his route for the next day, he glanced at Xi Yi'er, who was working hard, and couldn't help but shake his head.
This crazy woman was quite patient, but success required more than just hard work.
Practitioners were like walking on a single-plank bridge, which was even more difficult than passing the imperial examinations. Many practitioners could not find a way in their entire lives, and countless years were wasted.
Those who achieved success in cultivation were even rarer, only one in ten thousand. Not only did they require exceptional intelligence, but they also needed outstanding potential. Not everyone could succeed.
However, seeing Xi Yi'er working so hard, Ning Beichen thought to himself if he should show some care to mental patients. He flicked his finger, and a stream of internal energy entered her body, helping her guide it within her.
"Qi sensation!"
"I think I can feel the qi sensation." Xi Yi'er's face lit up with joy. Without her needing to guide it, Ning Beichen's internal energy began to circulate in her body on its own.
The night passed, and Xi Yi'er did not feel tired. Instead, she was full of energy, and her mind was much clearer.
However, while she was excited, Ning Beichen had already packed his luggage and said to her.
"I'm leaving. If you can reach the introductory stage within a month, come and find me then. If you can't, then don't bother seeing me."
"Mr. Ning..."
Before Xi Yi'er could speak, Ning Beichen interrupted her.
"There's no need to say so much. Master and disciple depend on fate. If there is fate, your wishes will naturally come true. If there is no fate, it will only be counterproductive."
"Yes, Mr. Ning. I will definitely work hard to reach the introductory stage. Could Mr. Ning leave me a contact method?" Xi Yi'er said to Ning Beichen, reluctant to part.
"Here is my contact information. Actually, being a cultivator isn't all good. The path of the 'Supreme Being without Emotion' is too arduous, dangerous, and lonely. Not everyone can succeed." Ning Beichen left her his contact information and gave her a piece of advice. Whether she would listen to it or not depended on her own thoughts.
Soon, Ning Beichen left with his luggage. Xi Yi'er hurriedly followed him and said.
"Mr. Ning, I'll see you off."
"Mr. Ning, let me help you with your luggage."
"Mr. Ning, can you tell me where you are going? I am very familiar with various places and can be your guide." Xi Yi'er, like a sycophant, kept talking behind Ning Beichen.
When Ning Beichen completed the check-out procedures and walked out of the hotel, Xi Yi'er also followed with her luggage.
However, as soon as they stepped out of the hotel, they encountered two Taoist priests. One of these Taoist priests was Cheng De, whom Ning Beichen had taught a lesson to last night, and the other was Xuan Ye.
"It's you again, Taoist priest. What? You're not convinced and found someone to get revenge?" Ning Beichen said to Cheng De, without a good expression.
"Amitabha, young friend, please calm your anger. I am not here to cause trouble, but to inquire about something." Daoist Xuan Ye's expression also changed when he saw Ning Beichen.
This was because he could not see through Ning Beichen's cultivation.
Not being able to see through meant that the other party was either an ordinary person without cultivation, or an extremely powerful expert whose cultivation far surpassed his own.
And it was obvious that Ning Beichen was not the first type, an ordinary person without cultivation.
Therefore, it meant that the other party was far stronger than himself.
