Chapter 602: Water Fairy (5800 bonus)

Fifteen years later.

Outside Black Marsh Prefecture.

"Uncle... where exactly are we going?"

A young woman of twenty years, dressed in a white martial arts uniform, was driving the carriage in front, turning her head to ask as she did so.

Aaron, a middle-aged man with a face like polished jade and slightly graying temples—looking like someone who had left behind many romantic debts in his youth—took a puff of his dry tobacco pipe and said slowly, "To dig for treasure!"

"Hehe... Uncle, if you have treasure, you must share a portion with me." The young woman said with a giggle, clearly not believing it was real, but rather that her uncle was joking with her.

The young woman was named 'Baishuixian', and she was the descendant of the Bai Family that Aaron had found.

'It seems her cultivation realm shouldn't be high...'

Baishuixian said excitedly.

At that time, Aaron already knew that even with the buff of 'a ruined home and exterminated clan, and a blood feud as deep as the sea', this girl had not turned into an SSR card.

This tragic war in the Immortal Cultivation World seemed to have absolutely nothing to do with him.

If one were to lay it all out, it would definitely be a long, inspirational Legend—although the protagonist is a woman.

Aaron smiled without a word; he had observed this young woman's character for ten years, and it was still trustworthy.

Baishuixian was like a sparrow, chirping and chattering the entire way.

Still a mortal without a Spirit Root!

'The probability of a mortal in this world being born with a Spirit Root is a bit low...'

"Wait for me here; I will return shortly."

She had great talent for martial arts, and with Aaron, a famous master, teaching her, she was a Dark Energy Expert at a young age, developing a fearless, daring personality.

But to Aaron, this was merely a small diversion in the long passage of time.

Aaron said to the shocked and disappointed Baishuixian, then scanned his surroundings, discovering there was only this one Immortal Cultivator.

"Yes, yes, Baishuixian, becoming a concubine for the Immortal Master is your great fortune! You should just submit!"

"Uncle, you said you were a family friend of my family... but I never heard my parents mention you. And this Black Marsh Prefecture City... back when the immortals were fighting, there were many relics left behind. Could it be that you are from here? Did you secretly bury something before?"

Aaron directed Baishuixian to stop in front of a crooked-neck tree in the middle of the wilderness.

The soil was compacted and filled with many stones... for an ordinary person, without the help of a hoe, digging the ground with bare hands like this would leave them dripping with blood in moments.

It was not until recently, when he heard news from the imperial court that the Lin Kingdom and Wu Country had shaken hands and made peace, ceasing military action, that he knew the Immortal Cultivation World was mostly peaceful.

Aaron let Baishuixian stay behind to watch the carriage, while he himself climbed through the jungle like a giant ape.

Well... mainly because he was idle with nothing to do, so he began the long journey of searching for the descendants of the Bai Family.

Aaron pondered while taking another puff of his dry tobacco pipe.

Aaron dug out a Storage Bag, shook off the dirt slightly, tucked it into his bosom, pushed the soil back, and sat back in the carriage: "To the next location..."

Suddenly, his expression paused; he saw that near the carriage, Baishuixian was bound by a vine, lying on the ground with a face full of terror and fear.

"Uncle, Uncle... I heard that at Two Worlds Mountain nearby, there were always immortals fighting before... later, the stones in the mountain turned red, and if you go at night, you might even encounter ghosts. Shall we go take a look? I've grown this old and have never seen a ghost!"

However, later on, with a deeper understanding of the Immortal Cultivation World, and even after the Qingding Sect and the Black Blood Sect went to war, a large number of Loose Cultivators hid in the mortal world, so this rule gradually became lax, and few cultivators really cared.

And facing the tragedy of the Bai Family's decline, Aaron ultimately could not bear it...

And so, he went to several places in succession.

"That little bag... it must have been buried for a long time, yet it shows no signs of decay; it shouldn't be an ordinary object, right? Uncle... could it be that you are really digging for the treasures of Immortal Cultivators?"

Finally, they arrived at a mountain hollow.

Then, he came under this crooked-neck tree, lowered his body, and began to dig a pit with his hands.

Having heard legends in Black Marsh Prefecture City before, she couldn't help but fall into reverie: "If we could dig up an immortal's treasure, perhaps we could cultivate immortality!"

"Hehe..."

Besides that, he was determined to keep a low profile; he didn't stick his neck out when things happened, and it was unlikely any Immortal Cultivator would jump out to specifically make things difficult for him, so he had hidden away quite peacefully until now.

Seeing Aaron, she signaled him with her eyes to leave quickly!

And beside the carriage, there was a short, fat man wearing a yellowish-brown robe, looking at Baishuixian—who was bound in a way that made her figure appear even more curvaceous—with a lecherous grin on his ugly face.

Finally, he arrived at the bottom of a valley, rummaged around, and found the last Storage Bag.

Then, ten years ago, he finally found the descendant of the Bai Family—Baishuixian—and raised her to adulthood, teaching her martial arts for self-defense, and incidentally letting her take revenge for the Bai Family of those years.

He had cut off contact with the Bai Family back then, firstly to isolate his identity as Qinglong Laoda, and secondly to avoid implicating them in his own cultivation.

When Baishuixian was still very young, while teaching her martial arts, he secretly taught her the first level of the 'Hunyuan Art' heart method for drawing Qi into the body, claiming it was a Secret manual of a peerless divine art. As a result, the girl happily practiced it for half a year, but there was absolutely no result.

'But now that the Immortal Cultivation World has generally returned to calm... I can just happen to unearth the Storage Bags and start practicing the 'Mingyu Art'.'

Aaron leaned against the carriage, slowly blowing out a smoke ring.

"Haha... for this Immortal Master to take a fancy to your niece is her great fortune; you are quite sensible."

Fortunately, she was not without experience in walking the Jianghu; she only said such things when no one was around, and on the road, she would immediately shut her mouth if she saw anyone from afar, keeping her lips sealed tight.

Baishuixian watched with wide eyes; she had long known that this uncle's martial arts were unfathomable.

When he took her to take revenge, no matter how powerful those enemies were, they couldn't last a single move in his hands!

But until now, she still couldn't see through this uncle's depth.

However, at this moment, he had no Dharma Power in his body and could not open it, so he returned the way he came.

The ugly Immortal Cultivator touched his face: "Persuade your niece for me; what's wrong with being a concubine for this Immortal Master?"

Baishuixian opened her mouth slightly, surprised.

"Alright, let's go!"

And now that the two countries had ceased fighting, it meant that the struggle in the Immortal Cultivation World had reached a conclusion!

'The Lin Kingdom royal family was not exterminated, and the territory was not annexed, which means the Qingding Sect did not suffer a major loss...'

After all, in this world, politics is the continuation of cultivation; if it weren't for the Black Blood Sect's sudden invasion fifteen years ago, the Wu Country would not have sent a large army to crusade against the Lin Kingdom.

"Stop thinking about it, you don't have that fate!"

He wore a face full of fawning smiles and continued to step forward: "Immortal Master, I have longed for an immortal destiny since I was young, please take me as your disciple!"

Aaron sighed in his heart and hurriedly stepped forward: "This Immortal Master, this Immortal Master... if my niece has committed any offense, please forgive her, please forgive her..."

"Haha..."

'He is also lecherous...'

But Aaron's hands were as white as jade and comparable to divine weapons; wherever they passed, the soil was quickly dug away, and before long, a large pit appeared.

"This..."

'Immortal Cultivator?'

Seeing that Aaron was just a mortal without the slightest bit of Dharma Power, the ugly man in the grey robe showed a bit more contempt on his face.

At this moment, he heard Aaron's voice again: "I have also seen immortals fight before and have collected an Immortal Master's Artifact; I am willing to offer it to the Immortal Master!"
