Starting Cultivation During a Trip

Chapter 571 - 280: Ye Beichen, Senior Evil, Li Linglong! I Am the Tai Sui of the Mortal World

The sky is as clear as a mirror, with the sun’s rays streaming down.

In Zhongnan Mountain, the spring scenery is beautiful, a tree of peach blossoms competes in vivid colors.

A young man with bare feet leans against the tree, sipping cola and engrossed in the novel in his hand.

In the distance, another youth is focused intently on martial arts training, dressed in a cloth garment, serious and concentrated, as if disconnected from the world.

"Xiao Nian, I heard a new junior sister has joined us, are you really not going to check it out?"

The barefooted boy drinks his cola and speaks to himself, but the other boy doesn’t respond at all.

"I heard that junior sister’s talent is amazing, even the old folks in the back mountain have come out..."

The barefooted boy puts down his novel, tilting his head in thought.

"What’s her... her name again?"

"Li Linglong!"

"Right, Li Linglong!"

Suddenly, faced with the sudden clear voice, the barefooted boy snaps back to reality, spraying cola from his mouth, leaps up, and turns around.

At this moment, even the cloth-garbed youth slowly opens his eyes.

Their gaze falls simultaneously on the peach blossom tree.

A bright and lively girl sits in the tree, her legs dangling playfully, her ponytail swaying in the wind, her delicate face bearing a mischievous smile.

"Who are you?" The barefooted boy asks warily.

"This is Zhongnan Mountain, are you not a visitor?"

Ordinary visitors wouldn’t reach this place.

"I’m Li Linglong!" the girl chuckles.

"Are you the new junior sister?"

The barefooted boy looks up, the bright sunlight pouring over the girl as if draping her in a layer of brilliance, like a fairy from heaven descended to the mortal world.

He was momentarily stunned.

"Junior sister?" Li Linglong wears an amused smile, "Those stronger than me can call me junior sister, those weaker..."

"Can only call me senior sister!"

At these words, the barefooted boy and the cloth-garbed youth look at each other, both showing peculiar expressions.

Such a newcomer, fresh to the sect, already so unconventional, uttering such arrogant words.

"Junior sister, it seems today Senior Brother will have to teach you the rules of Zhongnan Mountain." The barefooted boy, now interested, places his novel aside.

Rumble...

A loud noise descends, accompanied by the screeching of crows.

A moment later, Li Linglong still sits under the peach blossom tree, while the barefooted and cloth-garbed youths are bruised, kneeling on the ground, gazing up at the incredible girl.

"Alright, now tell senior sister, what are your names?" Li Linglong gestures with her finger, smiling softly.

"I’m Ye Beichen." The barefooted youth looks up at the radiant figure, in a daze.

"Senior Evil!" The cloth-garbed youth grunts.

...

Time flows like water in the mountains, two years swiftly pass.

Under the peach blossom tree, a sudden burst of lightning separates two figures.

"Xiao Yezi, you’re so young, yet already secretly practicing Thunder Skill." Li Linglong exhales deeply, casting a bright glance at Ye Beichen.

"Senior sister, in two months... you’ll have to call me junior sister." Ye Beichen boasts confidently.

"Explode!" Li Linglong softly whispers.

"Explode what?"

Ye Beichen pauses slightly, instinctively looks down, noticing a faint fire at his waist growing brighter, the next moment, a thunderous bang resounds, and Ye Beichen, like a snapped kite string, is blasted away, landing hard.

"Little rascal, keep practicing." Li Linglong laughs lightly.

Ye Beichen, slumped on the ground, gazes at the laughing Li Linglong, eyes filled with fascination.

"Yezi, you’re lit."

At this moment, Senior Evil’s reminder echoes from afar.

Only then does Ye Beichen notice his hair burning with smoke, he leaps like a rabbit into the nearby pond, extinguishing the smoke.

"Xiao Nian Nian, sitting idly like this will never lead to progress."

Li Linglong turns her head, smiling softly, "Want to practice with senior sister?"

"I don’t have your talent." Senior Evil murmurs, "Actually, I have nothing at all."

Listening to this, Li Linglong falls silent.

Among Zhongnan Mountain’s disciples, Senior Evil is unique, regarded as a jinx due to his constant misfortune.

At a young age, his home was burnt down, leaving nothing behind, his parents perished in the flames, after which he was brought to the mountain by Daoists, only for them to die shortly afterward.

Eventually, the years spent cultivating sealed his reputation as a jinx.

Watching others practice Thunder Skill, summoning heavenly lightning that resulted in instant death.

Helping elders in Medicine-Refining, causing an explosion, and just barely surviving.

Even helping a senior brother with toilet paper at night, resulting in the senior drowning in a latrine and becoming comatose.

Thus, in Zhongnan Mountain, Senior Evil is seen as a jinx, with no one daring to approach him except Ye Beichen.

Everyone fears being cursed by him.

"Only he remains carefree." Senior Evil glances at the emerging Ye Beichen from the pond.

"Xiao Nian Nian, I’m not afraid either, my luck is better than Yezi’s."

Li Linglong appears beside Senior Evil like a ghost, suddenly lifts her foot and moves it.

"Look..."

"Look at what?" Senior Evil is puzzled.

"I’m wearing Nike." Li Linglong laughs.

"..."

"When senior sister makes it big, I’ll buy you a car, then people won’t fear you." Li Linglong consoles.

"What kind of car?"

"Buick!"

"..."

"Senior sister, I need to go change my clothes."

Ye Beichen, drenched and with singed black hair, speaks.

"It’s getting late, time to go back." Li Linglong glances at the sky, then at Senior Evil.
