We Agreed On Experiencing Life, So Why Did You Immortals Become Real?

Chapter 68: Do You Know That in This Entire Vast Sea, You Are the Only One I Want!

[When journeying through rivers to transform into dragons, heavenly lightning tribulation descends.

This tribulation is divided into nine levels based on the tribulation-crosserʼs talent and bloodline.

The highest of the nine levels is called the Nine Dragon Profound Thunder.

If one can survive this Profound Thunder Tribulation, their dao foundation becomes more solid, their bloodline purer, and their chances of transforming into a dragon in the future increase.

Legend says that those who safely survive the Nine Dragon Profound Thunder will receive Dragon Thunder Liquid from heaven.

This liquid is condensed from the intersection of dragon clan fortune and the profound mysteries of the great dao.

Cultivators who obtain it can strengthen tendons and cleanse marrow, enhance spiritual roots, and extend life by five hundred years.

Mortals who drink it can prolong their years and add fifty years to their lifespan.]

Reading this passage, Bai Ruxueʼs heartbeat gradually quickened.

”Dragon Thunder Liquid.”
Bai Ruxueʼs gaze fell upon these three characters.

After memorizing the bookʼs contents, Bai Ruxue hurriedly went to visit Fuchenʼs peak.

”Miss Bai.”

At the summit of Luochen Peak, Li Sisi, who was practicing sword techniques, saw Bai Ruxue flying over. She put away her peach wood sword and bowed to Bai Ruxue.

”Greetings, Fairy Li.” Bai Ruxue curtsied in return. ”May I ask if Elder Fuchen is available?”

”I apologize, Miss Bai.” Li Sisi shook her head. ”My master has entered seclusion and cannot receive visitors.”

”...” Bai Ruxue lowered her eyes and showed a trace of disappointment.

Seeing the pitiful appearance of the young woman before her, even Li Sisi, being a woman herself, couldnʼt help but feel moved.

”However, Master calculated that Miss Bai would come today and asked me to relay a message,” Li Sisi said.

Bai Ruxue raised her head, her eyes brightening, ”Please speak, Miss Sisi.”

”Master asked me to tell Miss Bai that Dragon Thunder Liquid does indeed exist, but because the dragon fortune of the snake clan in this world is thin, countless snake clan members have perished while journeying through rivers to transform into dragons, let alone encountering the Nine Dragon Profound Thunder. Therefore, Master is also unclear about the actual effects of Dragon Thunder Liquid.”

”Thank you, Fairy, for relaying the message. When Elder Fuchen emerges from seclusion, please help me convey my gratitude.” Bai Ruxue bowed again.

”Miss is too polite,” Li Sisi nodded.

”I have other matters to attend to, so I wonʼt disturb your cultivation, Fairy.”

”Take care, Miss Bai.”

Bai Ruxue turned and flew toward Stone Bridge Village.

After Bai Ruxue left, Li Sisi turned and walked into a cave dwelling.

On the stone bed in the cave dwelling, Fuchen was meditating.

She had not actually entered seclusion, merely resting with her eyes closed.

”Master,” Li Sisi bowed respectfully.

Fuchen slowly opened her eyes, ”Has Miss Bai left?”

Li Sisi replied, ”Yes, Master.”

”Go cultivate then,” Fuchen waved her hand.

”Master, this disciple has something unclear and requests Masterʼs guidance,” Li Sisi said in confusion.

”Speak.”

”Master, about that Dragon Thunder Liquid? This disciple has never heard of it. Does such a thing truly exist in this world?”

”It is real.”

Fuchen sighed.

”But it is also false.”

Bai Ruxue had just returned to Stone Bridge Village when she saw Xiao Mo already sitting in the courtyard, smiling as he looked at her.

Recalling the words she had said that morning, Bai Ruxueʼs cheeks flushed slightly but in the end, Bai Ruxue still entered the courtyard.

The woman walked to Xiao Moʼs side, lowered her head, her jade-like fingers continuously fidgeting, the blush on her cheeks spreading to her ears. She seemed to want to say something to Xiao Mo but she appeared too embarrassed to speak.

Xiao Mo was not in a hurry. He continued to smile at the woman before him, waiting for her to speak first.

After all, they had quarreled that morning, so it was natural for Ruxue to feel somewhat embarrassed now.

After a long while, Bai Ruxue took a deep breath, her chest rising and falling dramatically. Gathering her courage, she raised her head and seriously said to her beloved, ”Xiao Mo! I... Iʼve thought it through... I want to journey through rivers and cross tribulation!”

Xiao Mo smiled, his tone carrying some teasing, ”This morning you said you wouldnʼt go.”

”I...” Bai Ruxue turned her head away, ”I changed my mind.”

”Why did you change your mind so quickly?”

Bai Ruxue fidgeted with her small hands, ”Itʼs... itʼs nothing. The books say that women are always changeable.”

”But the books also say ʼto decide in the morning and change in the evening, there must be a great reason,ʼ” Xiao Mo looked at Bai Ruxue gently. ”Let me think, you changed your mind because of me?”

The young woman whose thoughts had been exposed trembled slightly and lowered her head again.

She wasnʼt good at lying.

Every time she lied, Xiao Mo would see through it.

So whenever Bai Ruxue encountered something she didnʼt want to admit, she would remain silent.

Xiao Mo smiled inwardly.

Didnʼt this silly girl know?

Silence was also a form of admission.

”Ruxue.”

Xiao Mo sat on the stone stool, looking up at her peach blossom eyes, speaking earnestly.

”During all these days, you and Little Green have deliberately avoided mentioning my lifespan.

I have also avoided discussing it.

What I hoped for was to peacefully walk this final path, with you able to see me off with smiles.

Having you accompany me through these final year or two, my life would have no regrets.”

”But Xiao Mo, I canʼt do it. I cannot imagine a day when you would leave me.” Bai Ruxue raised her head, her eyes red, ”Xiao Mo, without you, I donʼt know what meaning my days would have!”

Bai Ruxue clenched her delicate small fists.

”These days, I have often gone to Tianxuan Sectʼs library pavilion, reading through various books, searching for life-extending methods but some life-extending items have properties too strong for your body to withstand.

Some life-extending items only work for cultivators with spiritual roots.

Still others grow in barren lands that would take me several years just to reach but today, Iʼve found it!

As long as I journey through rivers to transform into a dragon, when I enter the sea, I will encounter lightning tribulation. If I can trigger the Nine Dragon Profound Thunder Tribulation, Dragon Thunder Liquid will descend!

Dragon Thunder Liquid has gentle properties and is a creation of heaven and earth.

Legend says that after cultivators drink it, they can improve their spiritual roots and extend their lifespan by five hundred years.

Even ordinary people who drink it can extend their lifespan by fifty years!”

”What about after those fifty years?” Xiao Mo asked Bai Ruxue. ”After fifty years, what will you do then, Ruxue?”

”I will find other life-extending treasures. I definitely wonʼt let you die!” Bai Ruxue insisted.

”Ruxue, itʼs useless. You donʼt need to bind yourself because of me.”

Xiao Mo shook his head.

”Iʼm just an ordinary person.

True, I became Prime Minister of Qi Kingdom over these years.

True, I did some things and was fortunate to be remembered by the people, called a sage but ultimately, Iʼm just an ordinary person with a lifespan of no more than a hundred years.

You and Little Green are different.

You have your own dao, your lifespans are thousands, even tens of thousands of years.”

Xiao Mo sighed, ”Ruxue, your life is like a vast sea, while I am merely a grain of rice in that sea.”

”But Xiao Mo!” Bai Ruxue looked directly into Xiao Moʼs eyes.

”Do you know that in this entire vast sea, you are the only one I want!”
