After Becoming an Immortal, It Makes Sense to Have a Universal Treasure Pot

119: What is a fairyAfter Xu Qi’an destroyed the demon Cultivator’s cave, he returned to Xiao Cui Village.

What surprised Xu Qi’an was that the current rise of demon Cultivators in Qinghe Country was actually partly due to him.

The three Jie Dan Cultivators and numerous Foundation Establishment and Qi Refining Cultivators he had unintentionally killed last time had severely weakened the strength of the Righteous Path in the entire Qinghe Country.

This allowed a portion of the demon Cultivators to grow stronger by taking advantage of the situation.

”Is this Karma?”

Xu Qi’an fell into deep thought.

...

Xu Qi’an returned to Xiao Cui Village and erased everyone’s memories of him killing the bandits.

Otherwise, everyone would kowtow and bow to him as soon as they saw him, which he disliked somewhat.

Next, Xu Qi’an took Niu Li and the other two to He’an City.

He’an City was not large.

In Qinghe Country, it was a Mortal city with no Cultivators stationed there.

Xu Qi’an first bought a manor in He’an City and settled Niu Li and the others there.

Then, he located a private school within the county town.

He found an acquaintance, spent dozens of taels of silver, and easily completed the enrollment procedures for Niu Niu.

He then returned to the manor and informed the three of them.

Niu Li and the other two were instantly overjoyed and repeatedly said they must repay Xu Qi’an’s great kindness.

Xu Qi’an, however, shook his head and said calmly.

”Brother Niu, this manor is yours. Also, I’ve bought you a blacksmith shop about a hundred meters east of the manor. From now on, you don’t need to go back to Xiao Cui Village.”

”Just stay here peacefully and take care of Niu Niu’s schooling!”

Niu Li was instantly at a loss, even finding it hard to believe. He couldn’t believe that Xu Qi’an had arranged everything so clearly for him.

”Lu brother, this... I haven’t earned this, I can’t accept it!”

”How can I possibly repay your kindness!”

Niu Li was so emotional he didn’t know how to thank Xu Qi’an.

Xu Qi’an, however, waved his hand and then bid farewell to Niu Li.

He did not need Niu Li’s thanks; everything was just like the encounters in his own life.

All were opportunities.

As for understanding the Mortal World, what exactly was there to comprehend?

Xu Qi’an was still contemplating whether to completely become a Mortal and experience a lifetime, or to follow his heart’s desires and achieve mental clarity?

He still didn’t understand at this moment.

He could only explore step by step.

Xu Qi’an stayed in He’an City for a day and then set off on his journey again.

He planned to head to Qinghe Country’s largest city, Qinghe City.

...

In the blink of an eye, three days had passed.

”Master, do you want me to give you a shoulder rub?”

...

”Master, do you want me to give you a back massage?”

...

”Master, are you thirsty? Look, there’s a tea stall over there!”

...

”Master, I’m hungry, how about we eat first...”

...

”Master, do you think Immortals are truly Immortals?”

”Then why are there bad Immortals? Shouldn’t Immortals all be good people?”

”Can bad people also become Immortals?”

Two people were sitting on the wooden bench inside the carriage.

One was a girl wearing a grey patched robe, and the other was a young man dressed in coarse cloth and hemp clothes, but with a somewhat refined face.

The young man closed his eyes in thought and remained silent, while the girl’s eyes were always sparkling, asking questions non-stop.

Hearing this, Xu Qi’an finally opened his eyes and looked at the girl before him.

This child was named Ning Sui, thirteen years old, with slightly short hair and a strip of white cloth wrapped around her forehead.

Xu Qi’an didn’t know if this was due to an injury or if wrapping it this way made her look better.

But he didn’t concern himself with it.

He had encountered this child two days ago while driving his carriage on the road.

At that time, she had collapsed from exhaustion on the roadside.

Seeing that she still had a breath, Xu Qi’an saved her life.

But as soon as the child woke up, she burst into tears, then hugged Xu Qi’an, called him Master, and stuck to him ever since.

Xu Qi’an couldn’t get rid of her no matter how he tried.

Fortunately, Xu Qi’an decided not to bother with her anymore.

Ning Sui was very clever. As soon as she saw that Xu Qi’an wasn’t going to drive her away, she quickly got into the carriage and had been following him ever since.

In the carriage, Ning Sui always liked to talk to herself.

She introduced her name and age.

But regarding her experiences, she said a little and then stopped talking further.

Then, she started talking about other things.

However, Xu Qi’an was not interested in these things.

But Ning Sui’s words just now had sparked some curiosity in him.

Could this girl have met Cultivators before?

He then looked at Ning Sui’s somewhat distracted expression and replied.

”Immortals are not all good people.”

”Just as people are divided into good and bad, Immortals are ultimately just Mortals who have gained great power.”

”Most Immortals are merely prisoners of heaven and earth; they cannot achieve desirelessness through heartlessness, they are arrogant, and selfish.”

”Compared to Mortals, they are even less likely to understand what it means to care for the weak; they only see everything as steps towards longevity.”

Ning Sui’s expression froze for a moment. She found it hard to believe these words came from Xu Qi’an’s mouth.

”Why does Master know these things?”

She didn’t actually need a definitive answer; she just wanted to ask, to ask this question.

So that she could explore and search in her heart.

And now, Xu Qi’an’s words undoubtedly provided a definitive answer.

”Master, why do you know these things?” Ning Sui asked, full of curiosity.

”Are you an Immortal??”

Xu Qi’an saw a trace of pleading and longing on Ning Sui’s face.

He could tell that she wanted to cultivate immortality.

And she had another purpose for cultivating immortality.

But he didn’t know what it was.

Xu Qi’an did not answer Ning Sui directly. Instead, he lifted the curtain and looked at the scenery outside the window.

The carriage sped forward all the way, and the scenery outside the window continuously moved backward.

The road moved forward, and time also moved forward.

He then said calmly, ”If you think I am, then I am. If you think I am not, then I am not.”

After speaking, Xu Qi’an said no more, but closed his eyes and fell into deep thought.

Ning Sui pondered Xu Qi’an’s words.

Amidst a myriad of thoughts, she only arrived at one answer.

That was, the Master she had blindly recognized before her eyes was truly an Immortal.

”An Immortal? An Immortal!”

”I actually recognized an Immortal as my Master! Ning Sui, Ning Sui, your luck is truly too good!”

The scene from that day in the village reappeared in Ning Sui’s eyes.

Flames soared into the sky, and the villagers cried out helplessly.

She hid in the distance and saw a creature engulfed in flames in mid-air, throwing fireballs towards the village.

She would never forget that day.

She wanted revenge! She wanted to avenge her parents and everyone who died in the village!

”I, Ning Sui, must become an Immortal and kill that demonic Immortal who destroyed the village, to comfort the souls of my parents and all one hundred and eight people in the village in heaven!”

”I, Ning Sui, swear!”
