Chapter 50: Have You Ever Seen a Fairy?

Under the countless mocking and teasing gazes, Xu Que wore a smile and followed the guide signs on the mountain, heading toward the valley.

Along the way, naturally, many cultivators were also heading to the valley. Hearing from others that Xu Que wanted to enter the stage alone, they couldn't help but laugh.

Thus, it spread from ten to a hundred, and just like that, walking all the way, almost half the people knew about Xu Que's deeds.

"Hey, have you heard? There's a young man who doesn't know the immensity of heaven and earth, actually demanding to enter the second stage alone!"

"Haha, heard it long ago. I've been amused by this for half a day. How can there be such a stupid person?"

"Exactly. Entering alone means you have to come out within one hour. If two people team up, you have two hours. We enter in groups of six, which adds up to six hours. And no matter how many people there are, as long as one person finds the Starlight Grass, the whole team succeeds. Why is that young man bothering?"

"Same task volume, different time limits. Besides testing luck, this stage of Heavenly Fragrance Valley is also meant to test everyone's cooperation and tacit understanding. That young man couldn't even see through this point; he's truly too young and lacks life experience."

"However, it is said that the young man has a face like jade, is gentle and elegant, wears a black robe, and carries a black giant ruler on his back. He looks quite imposing, so why would he make such a stupid decision?"

"Eh, look, the person in front is wearing a black robe and carrying a black giant ruler. Could it be him?"

"Where, where? Damn, it really is him..."

Xu Que had long ignored the strange looks of others, ignored the mockery, with a faint smile on his face, full of style!

After all, the ancients said: If the world slanders me, bullies me, insults me, laughs at me, slights me, despises me, hates me, or deceives me, how should I deal with it?

You should endure him, let him, yield to him, avoid him, tolerate him, respect him, ignore him, and wait a few years, then you look at him.

Thus, Xu Que always maintained an optimistic attitude, wore a smile, turned around, and said to the teams next to him: "Fuck your mother, what are you looking at? Do you believe I'll beat you to death?"

"Whoosh!"

The crowd was instantly in an uproar.

"Truly misjudged him. I thought he was a handsome, gentle, and elegant young man, but I didn't expect him to spout profanities the moment he opened his mouth."

"Forget it, forget it, ignore him. There are Heavenly Fragrance Valley disciples patrolling here, so we can't make a move. We'll teach him a lesson after he enters the valley."

"Hmph, I want to see what his expression will be like when he fails to find the Starlight Grass after entering and is kicked out!"

Watching the crowd leave with angry faces, Xu Que finally revealed a gratified smile and walked gracefully to the valley entrance.

Standing at the valley entrance were three Heavenly Fragrance Valley disciples, two men and one woman, all at the Nascent Soul stage, responsible for recording the time cultivators entered the valley and whether they brought out Starlight Grass after leaving!

As soon as Xu Que approached, he said politely: "I am Hua Wuque, requesting to enter the stage!"

The three disciples rolled their eyes. Big brother, you just finished cursing people over there, and now you're acting refined here. Do you think we're blind?

"What is the wooden token number?" A female disciple asked after recording Xu Que's name in the register.

Xu Que looked down at the wooden token, paused, and read: "9527!"

"Hmm!"

The female disciple nodded indifferently, then gathered a wisp of true essence at her fingertip, pointed it at the wooden token in Xu Que's hand, and said: "This wooden token has merged with your aura. Others cannot impersonate it, and you cannot impersonate others, so remember to come out within the limited time, otherwise, even if you find the Starlight Grass, it will count as a failure. Do you remember?"

"Remembered. Eh, by the way, Miss, have you ever seen a fairy?" Xu Que nodded and asked the female disciple in return.

"Ah? No... I don't think so." The female disciple was instantly stunned. Although they cultivators are often called fairies by mortals, in the eyes of cultivators, only those who have attained the Dao and ascended to the Immortal World can be called fairies.

Xu Que smiled slightly and said affectionately: "I hadn't seen one before either, but since seeing you, Miss, I think I have!"

After hearing this, the female disciple was stunned for a moment, then reacted, instantly flushing red, and lowered her head with a hint of shyness, not daring to look Xu Que in the eye.

The two male disciples next to her, as well as a group of male cultivators, instantly widened their eyes, their faces full of shock.

Two sentences were enough to make a Nascent Soul stage woman blush. Damn, such a brilliant, such a fresh and refined flirting technique, it's simply... amazing!

"Ding! Congratulations to host 'Xu Que' for successfully acting cool. Reward: 40 Acting Cool Points!"

Flirting with a girl can also be cool, it's just that smooth, it's just that awesome, the flirting technique is just good!

Xu Que revealed a light and breezy smile, took back the wooden token, turned around, and left gracefully amidst the astonished gazes of the crowd.

A few breaths later, the voice of a male Heavenly Fragrance Valley disciple came from behind: "Hua Wuque, number 9527, entered the valley at the first quarter of the Shen hour!"

Xu Que nearly stumbled and fell. Damn, why does this sound so familiar? It sounds like going in to serve a prison sentence!

Stepping into the valley, Xu Que discovered that the entire valley had been sealed off by a huge formation.

Looking around, except for the entrance, all other places were covered by a water-curtain-like barrier, which should be to prevent anyone from hiding Starlight Grass and running out.

"Looks like I'll be asked to check my storage ring when I go out later, right? Heh, pity it's useless, no one can check my system storage space." Xu Que raised the corner of his mouth and stepped forward.

There were quite a few people in the valley, with cultivators passing by one after another, some just entering, some just about to leave.

Those entering had solemnity and anticipation on their faces, while those leaving were either happy or sad.

Xu Que felt relaxed and at ease. He came in just to take a stroll, go through the motions to cover people's eyes, and when the time was almost up, he would exchange for a few Starlight Grasses from the system mall and take them out, which would complete the stage and allow him to act cool successfully.

After walking a few hundred meters, the people around gradually became fewer. After all, the valley was quite large, and everyone seized the time to use Dharma techniques to search for Starlight Grass everywhere as soon as they entered.

Only Xu Que was still strolling leisurely.

Until a moment later, he strolled to an area with few people, preparing to find a place to lie down, bask in the sun, and rest, but a few figures appeared not far ahead, seemingly having a dispute.

Xu Que stopped, and after seeing the appearance of a few of them, he was stunned.

Actually met acquaintances!

And... both sides of the dispute had acquaintances!

I saw six Golden Core stage cultivators surrounding six Foundation Establishment stage cultivators, among whom a Foundation Establishment stage woman with an ethereal temperament was angrily saying: "You are bullying people too much."

"What bullying people too much? This Starlight Grass was clearly seen by us first. We just wanted to go look for others, but as soon as we came back, it was occupied by you. Better hand it over quickly." The person who said this, Xu Que recognized, was the green-robed young man who was with Ceng Fanrong and the others earlier.

However, at this time, he was not teaming up with Ceng Fanrong and the others, but had found a few cultivators with higher levels.

As for the Foundation Establishment stage cultivators being bullied, two of them were Xu Que's old acquaintances.

The woman with an ethereal temperament was Tang Xueru, the "Fairy Sister" Xu Que met after his rebirth, and a man with an extraordinary appearance was also a disciple of the Heavenly Martial Sect, the sword-carrying young man Xu Que met after mistakenly entering the Treasure Pavilion—Zhang Danshan.

The other four were also disciples of the Heavenly Martial Sect. Xu Que looked familiar, but couldn't name them.

The six of them were now teaming up to participate in the Heavenly Fragrance Valley entrance trial, probably preparing to leave the Heavenly Martial Sect!

But what surprised Xu Que was that Tang Xueru's cultivation speed was quite fast. In just a few months, she had actually succeeded in Foundation Establishment, and her cultivation had reached the Foundation Establishment stage fifth layer.

And Zhang Danshan, now he had reached the Foundation Establishment stage perfection, only half a step away from the Core Formation stage!

In normal times, Xu Que would have turned and left after taking a few looks, but now the person bullying people was that green-robed young man, who had mocked Xu Que earlier. With Xu Que's petty nature, of course, he wouldn't leave.

"Don't move, robbery... cough, sorry, I'm used to it, slip of the tongue."

As soon as Xu Que shouted, he realized that this was inappropriate, so he coughed dryly and said seriously: "Eh, what are you guys doing? Arguing is no problem, but the problem is, can you not argue standing next to my Starlight Grass?"

Your Starlight Grass???

Both sides turned their heads to look, full of bewilderment! ===== CHAPTER 51 =====
