The female nun just wants to live forever

Chapter 92 Everyone has their own agenda
“Sometimes I really want to buy today, but it will expire tomorrow” - [The Legend of Baidi]

……

"Fellow Daoist Shan, to be honest, the two of us are disciples of Master Ju Ling from the Ju Ling Sect of Fengling Country. Our master, Master Ju Ling, is not a native of Nanzhou, but a member of the Li family in Zhongzhou. He was exiled to Nanzhou because he made a mistake when he was young. After he came to Nanzhou, he established the Ju Ling Sect and took us in as his disciples. He taught us how to learn immortal arts and become immortals in the eyes of ordinary people. Unfortunately, our master's life span is coming to an end. In order to break through the Jindan stage, he went to Zhongzhou and returned to his family. Unexpectedly, this separation would last for fifty years. In order to protect our master's foundation, the two of us practiced hard in the Ju Ling Sect for decades, but we were unable to break through. We also knew that our master would never come back, so we decided to set off for Zhongzhou to pursue our master."

Wang Ce looked at the dusk sky, and there was no trace of sadness or joy in his calm tone. He was silent for a moment, then turned to look at Gu Nian.

"Fellow Daoist Shan, you are only a young girl but you have already reached the fifth level of Qi training. Such talent is truly outstanding. Even if you go to Zhongzhou, you will definitely have a place. But from what you said just now, you have no teacher or friends in Zhongzhou. It would be better for you to follow the two of us and become a disciple of the Li family. I believe that my master cherishes talent and will definitely teach you everything he knows."

Wang Ce spoke with certainty, and from the look of his face, he seemed to admire Gu Nian very much and wanted to recruit him.

Gu Nian would naturally refuse Wang Ce's recruitment.

Her purpose of cultivating immortality is nothing more than seeking immortality, and she is particularly fascinated by traveling freely around the world. She will never go to a place with too many rules and restrictions.

And even if she wanted to join a sect, she was not prepared to consider joining a family of immortal cultivators.

Compared to a sect, an individual who joins a family is nothing more than a vassal, and its core composition is still the bloodline of the family.

Therefore, even if one wants to seek protection from a powerful force, one should seek a powerful or secluded sect, so that one can practice with peace of mind.

Just as Gu Nian was thinking about how to refuse, a hearty laugh sounded again from the side.

"Hahaha, you two really know how to joke."

The three turned around and looked at the person who came. Wang Ce's face was a little angry, but seeing that the other party's cultivation was also the seventh level of Qi training, he had to hold back his anger and said in a cold voice: "What do you mean?"

The man was wearing a white robe and had his hands behind his back. He didn't seem to care about the anger on Wang Ce's face.

"You two are so confident. You haven't even arrived in Zhongzhou yet, but you're already thinking about recruiting people for the family you mentioned..." At this point, he suddenly sneered and said meaningfully, "It seems that the friendship between you and your master is really enviable!"

"you!"

"Daoyou, what do you want to do?"

As soon as the words fell, the two of them glared at each other. Among them, Wang Ce adjusted his expression very quickly and asked coldly.

"do what……"

The man in white robe looked at the other person and shook his head, but he said nothing. However, his eyes were full of certain meaning. This look fell into Wang Ce's eyes, making him immediately pull Li Xuan away from here.

"Celang, he is going too far!"

"Shut up!"

Wang Ce scolded in a low voice: "Don't even think about it. We can't move this kid anymore."

"Why?"

Li Xuan was puzzled.

Wang Ce sighed softly and said, "That person...seems to know Zhongzhou very well..."

Li Xuan understood immediately.

On the other side, as soon as the two of them left, the man in white robes bowed and said with a smile: "I'm sorry to have made you laugh, my name is Ruan Jingtian, a disciple of Zhongzhou Qianyang Sect."

Hearing this, Gu Nian was slightly stunned.

Zhongzhou? Qianyang Sect?
Is he from Zhongzhou?

Now, it was Gu Nian's turn to take a good look at the person in front of him.

The young man had a good-looking appearance, but not stunning. His long, silky hair was tied up high, with a white ribbon wrapped around his forehead.

At first glance, the white gauze robe seemed to be made of the finest material. Upon closer inspection, it was discovered that there were actually some flashes of light on the white gauze robe.

This is... a vestment!
The depths of Gu Nian's pupils suddenly shrank.

Having stayed in Biluo City for quite some time, she had naturally heard of the name of the robes.

Dharma robes are not like ordinary clothes. They are usually made of various spiritual silks. Some small formations will be engraved on them when making the clothes, which have simple effects such as avoiding dust and wind.

Due to the high production requirements and the difficulty in forming the formation, the price of the robes is quite expensive.

Gu Nian had also planned to buy a robe, but unfortunately he couldn't bear it because it was too expensive.

But now he saw the robes on the person in front of him, which surprised him a little, and at the same time he was a little curious about his identity.

Could it be that he really came from Zhongzhou?
Gu Nian's mind was full of thoughts, but he did not lose focus. Instead, he bowed and said in return, "I am placing an order. Nice to meet you, Fellow Daoist Ruan."

I gave myself the identity I had outside, so there's nothing wrong with calling me Dan Qiu, Gu Nian thought to himself.

"Hahaha, it turns out to be Fellow Daoist Shan." Ruan Jingtian laughed, then put away his smile and said seriously: "Fellow Daoist Shan, do you know those two people just now?"

Gu Nian shook his head.

She only knew Fang Xing and two others in Biluo City, so she naturally didn't know these two people.

Seeing Gu Nian shaking his head, Ruan Jingtian suddenly sighed and said, "Fellow Daoist Shan, you don't know that the major forces in Zhongzhou are intertwined. In order to supplement their strength, many immortal cultivation clans are constantly digging out independent cultivators from all over the place to strengthen themselves. The first ones to attack are independent cultivators like you who have no roots or wings."

“Although these immortal cultivation clans may seem enthusiastic and generous, they are extremely divided internally. If a casual cultivator joins the clan, he is likely to become a chess piece.”

"Like the two people just now, I think they are not cultivators from Southern Province. They are most likely from the noble families of Central Province, wandering around looking for lone cultivators."

At this point, Ruan Jingtian suddenly smiled and sneered, "So, fellow Daoist Shan, don't fall for it. If you really want to join a certain force, you should also consider the seven first-rate forces in Zhongzhou, such as Dao Sect, Sword Sect, Yaoshan, Academy, Tianyin Temple, and Guangyin Sect. At the very least, you should join a second-rate or third-rate force. As for the insignificant Li family mentioned by the two people just now... Humph! It's better to forget it, lest one day the Taoism disappears from the world."

"Shan Mou is grateful for your advice!" After hearing the other party's words, Gu Nian said sincerely that this time, he really learned a lesson from his words.

She also knew that Zhongzhou was definitely not the blessed place that others talked about. As the saying goes, crisis and fortune coexist, and one could not rest easy just by going to Zhongzhou.

Gu Nian has always understood.

In fact, she has always wanted to be a carefree cultivator, able to travel anywhere in the world and make the whole world her home.

But the truth is, she can't do that.

Because she wanted to go further.

Most of the cultivation resources in this world are controlled by major forces, such as spiritual veins, blessed lands, etc. The only way for independent cultivators to survive is to have skills or to go to the ancient battlefield full of dangers.

Gu Nian's only skill is alchemy.

But the alchemy is only a small success after all.

As for the so-called ancient battlefields and ruins, although there are various opportunities, how could it be the turn of a mere Qi-cultivating cultivator like her?
