Chapter 14: The Reality of Paper Man

Xu Fu watched the Taoist's expression change, and the fishing rod was about to break. He probably understood what this man was like.

Old Air Force.

The inner struggle is nothing more than two options: "Fuck, how did she do that? Should I ask for your advice?" and "Fuck, she can do it, why can't I? I will do it again next time. I don't accept it."

Xu Fu decided to stop when he saw that things were going well, and said, "I didn't mean to visit here, and I disturbed the Taoist priest. I will give you a red carp as compensation, and then I will take my leave."

Having said this, he turned and left.

"My little friend, please stay!"

coming!

Xu Fu shuddered and heard Shen Gongbao's death wave "Daoyou, please stay". As soon as these words were spoken, the other party would either die or be crippled.

Sure enough, the old Taoist priest behind him said after careful consideration: "I see that you have a unique character, and your words and deeds are quite similar to the temperament of my youth. At first glance, you are a... ahem, a genius in cultivating immortals.

"You are able to come to this secret place again, which means that you are destined to be with me. Are you interested in becoming my disciple?"

As soon as the words were spoken, options popped up.

[Option A: Agree. Completion reward: Colorless and tasteless soul-stirring poison (Xuan-level top grade)]

[Option B: Decline. Completion reward: Invisible Blood Melting Needle*100 (Xuan-level mid-grade)]

[Option C: "No, I have no intention of becoming an immortal. Goodbye." Completion reward: Random attribute point +1]

Oh my goodness, all of them are hidden weapons, can a famous and upright sect be so dangerous? !
Which peak is this old man the leader of? His disciple was assassinated like a sitting duck.

Xu Fu said without hesitation: "No! I have no intention of becoming an immortal. Goodbye!"

[Option task completed, speed +1]

The old Taoist priest was stunned by this decisive refusal. He blinked and tried to speak again.

My goodness, he ran away like a fucking rabbit.

"You didn't even play hard to get, s ...

The old Taoist stroked his beard and sighed in surprise.

"Think about it, I have never been rejected since I was born... There is actually someone who can resist my invitation! Ah~ good boy, you have successfully attracted my attention!"

"..."

The red carp in the fish basket stuck its head out speechlessly, stared with dead fish eyes in disgust, and suddenly jumped into the water with a flick of its tail!
The old Taoist priest was shocked: "My fish! Fish——"

The fish is free!

Seeing that the fish he had finally caught and could have pretended was his own fish was gone, the old Taoist priest sighed helplessly, and suddenly saw a peach wood sign beside the stone when he looked down.

"What the young man just dropped? He is indeed one of the disciples selected this year. To be able to enter this secret realm, he is indeed a rare talent picked out of thousands... Let me see where it is... Plum Blossom Waterside Pavilion?"

The old Taoist priest looked disappointed and muttered unwillingly:
"So he's a disciple of Tianyuan Sect. He should be a direct disciple at this level. Damn, when did that old guy have the good fortune to receive such a good seedling? It shouldn't be possible!"

After thinking for a while, the old Taoist priest took the peach wood tablet and walked out of the Jade Waterfall Secret Realm.

……

The speed has been increased four times, and Xu Fu feels light and his feet are as fast as the wind.

"This speed is six times faster than Liu Xiang's, comparable to the middle stage of foundation building. Doesn't that mean I don't have to worry about getting beaten during the outer sect selection?"

Xu Fu stopped at the initial fork in the road and sighed:
"Middle finger, can I plan to put attribute points into defense or escape speed next time?"

[You are a coward...]

"Bullshit!" Xu Fu didn't like what he heard and strongly demanded that it be withdrawn. "I'm just being cautious! I don't care if you want to add it or not!"

"Why are you here? It's almost dark, why haven't you gone home yet?"

Shu Mingchen behind him asked curiously.

Xu Fu was stunned, and then he realized that in just ten minutes in the secret realm, the sunset had already fallen outside.

"Have you eaten yet? I'll take you to eat something?"

Shu Mingchen has not yet established his foundation and cannot reach the level of fasting.

"No, my brother brought me some scallion pancakes." Xu Fu took out the small cloth bag that Lame Jiang prepared for her. When he felt the slightly hot touch, his expression changed slightly. "It's still hot. Is the flow of time wrong?"

"What time flow rate?"

"It's okay, do you want to eat?" "Yes, let's go to the pavilion. By the way, I'll tell you about tomorrow's selection."

……

"The first level is uncertain. It is usually a test of perseverance and magic power. Sometimes it is also about killing monsters. After all, the people who come here are not just mortals. Most of them are children of aristocratic families or independent cultivators with certain abilities."

In the pavilion, Shu Mingchen said:

"The second level is to test age and spiritual roots. This can greatly avoid people's misjudgment of ability due to talent. But even if the age and spiritual roots are not suitable, they will not be eliminated and will enter the third level of talent test."

Xu Fu thought about it and said, "Is there a chance that we can take other paths based on the performance of the first, third and second levels?"

"Yes, for example, physical training."

Shu Mingchen nodded: "If you please any elder, such as the stubborn donkey Li, you can also go to the Immortal Valley to farm, refine weapons, and raise spirit beasts.

"If you are favored by Qin Mo Zhang, you can go to Xiaoyao Valley to learn chess, painting, carving, singing Taoist rhymes, etc. It is not a small skill to enter Taoism with the ultimate skills. For example, the spirit-enhancing skills such as 'painting the dragon's eyes' and 'carving a tiger into reality' are popular everywhere. Even on the battlefield with the demons, it is extremely rare to have a talent who can draw the sea to create momentum and turn stones into soldiers."

"To put it bluntly, if your grades aren't good, then you can go the sports or arts route," Xu Fu said, "but sports and arts aren't that easy to go. If they were really shortcuts, everyone would be squeezing in. Even if you barely get in and don't do well, then you'll end up in the Immortal Realm."

"Where's the slang you're using? It sounds weird, but it's pretty much what you mean."

This is the magic of Chinese. Although you may not understand it when you listen to it individually, you can understand it almost correctly when you put it together.

As Shu Mingchen spoke, he took the biscuit from Xu Fu's small cloth bag and took a bite.

This is a snack sold in Gexian Village. The scallion pancake is baked with a crispy crust, sprinkled with sesame seeds and meat oil, and wrapped with minced meat sauce. It is hot and fragrant to the point of drooling. When you bite it, you can feel the worldly fireworks burning from your mouth into your heart, a warm and warm feeling.

"This cake is really delicious. I have never eaten it before."

"There are a lot of these country snacks sold at the foot of the mountain. Have you never tried them once?"

“This is my first time going down the mountain today.”

"Before that, fellow disciples can go down the mountain and help with the shopping."

Shu Mingchen paused chewing, holding the scallion pancake, lowered his eyes and remained silent for a long time, and whispered: "No one plays with me, and no one dares to play with me."

Xu Fu felt a toothache when he thought of the swarm of colorful fairies. He thought to himself that even if he were asked to do so, he would not dare to do it. It was simply inhumane.

"The people you are thinking of were arranged by Uncle Wanyan."

Xu Fu was stunned: "What?"

“Although I was born with immortal sword bones, my mother was injured in the demon clan battlefield, and the evil spirit she brought from her mother’s womb infected my spiritual roots.

"So before I built my foundation, I was very vulnerable to the evil spirits and died. When I was ten years old, I was almost poisoned by a spy from the demon clan. My parents didn't allow me to go down the mountain or communicate with outsiders easily because of this."

Shu Mingchen said dejectedly:

"I don't have a good temper either. Uncle Wanyan asked those senior sisters and junior sisters to take care of me to make me happy. Without Uncle Wanyan, they dare not chat with me."

Xu Fu smacked his lips and said, "So miserable, I thought you were too bad at making friends. If you want to make you bad, practice more."

Apart from the high-quality bootlickers, the original book did not spend much time on the Sanqing Taoist sect. It only said that twenty years ago, there was a great battle between demons and fairies, and all the disciples of Sanqing went down the mountain to rescue them. They were seriously injured and were on the verge of collapse. When the heroine Cang Yujiao became an immortal, the Sanqing sect was also swallowed up by the Tianyuan Sect.

Xu Fu knew nothing else.

Even for the "female protagonists' harem" such as Wanyan Jing and Shu Mingchen, what is most described are their appearance and status, the degree of their obsession with Cang Yujiao, and their jealous faces. Most of the time, they are reduced to the control group of the male protagonist.

The supporting characters who only appear briefly in these books turn out to be characters with their own stories.

Half of the sky is ablaze with sunset, and half of the sky is full of stars at night.

Xu Fu looked at the beautiful scenery, his heart was moved, he turned his head and said:
"How about this, if you promise not to talk or communicate with me in public from now on, I will treat you as my friend."

Shu Mingchen wondered, "Why can't I talk to you in public?"

Because you're a walking bomb!

Xu Fu said perfunctorily: "Because your cultivation is too powerful, I would feel inferior if I stood next to you in public."

"so……"

Shu Mingchen frowned and suddenly said, "Then you are too inexperienced. If you are inexperienced, practice more."

Xu Fu: “??!”

Give you some sunshine and you will be bright.

Who allowed you to use my words to attack me?

Grabbing the cake from Shu Mingchen's hand, Xu Fu stood up and spat, "Who allowed you to eat my cake? I regret it, and I'm done with you!"
