Can't Afford to Offend My Scheming Disciple

11. Time For Death

Translator: Alanese Fantasy

Qing Yangzi heard that Zhuo Hua had come to Chaos Peak. He hurried to welcome Zhuo Hua and lead him to the parlor, “Senior Brother, what brings you here?”

Zhuo Hua told Qing Yangzi about his physical condition.

“What, spiritual power leak? When you went back to Bamboo Peak and spat blood that day, I wanted to ask you, who could hurt you this hard?” Qing Yangzi asked worriedly. After all, the leakage of spiritual power was a big thing.

He didn’t believe that anyone in this world could hurt his Senior Brother.

Zhuo Hua waved his hand, “Nobody hurt me. I went to a mystery land some time ago, and I became like this after I came out from there.”

“A mystery land? Where is it?”

‘If we can go back to the mystery land, we may have a solution.’

However, the mystery land was just an excuse used by Zhuo Hua to disguise Qing Yangzi. How could he know the location of a nonexistent place?

“I don’t know. It looked like two different places when I went in and came out.”

“Where did you get in?” Qing Yangzi never let go of any hope.

The entrance and exit of many mystery lands were different. If one knew where the entrance was, he or she could try to enter the mystery land to find the reason for the leakage of spiritual power.

“Outside my bedroom.”

“The bedroom?”

“Yes, I opened the door that day and went into a mystery land. When I came out, I was already outside the gate of the mountain, so I guess it is a moving mystery land.” Zhuo Hua continued to make up the story.

There were many mystery lands in the Cultivation World, but the moving mystery lands, left by immortals, only existed in legends. Maybe people could enter a mystery land while they were walking on the road; it was entirely a matter of fortune.

“I’ve heard a lot of people who underwent spiritual power leak, and they all ran out of their spiritual power and died in the end. However, Senior Brother, I will definitely find a way. I’ll go to the library right now and look up ancient books.” Qing Yangzi said as he walked out.

Zhuo Hua stopped him, “Hold your horses. Where is your mature and prudence as a Sect Leader? No hurries. It will take at least thousands of years for me to run out of my cultivation.”

“How could you say something like this? A thousand years goes by in a blink of an eye.” Qing Yangzi stared at Zhuo Hua.

Did He know how important his cultivation was? Many cultivators committed suicide because they had lost all their cultivation. Look at him, he acted like he didn’t care at all.

Qing Yangzi was so angry that his beard was blew up.

Zhuo Hua smiled, “Yangzi, it’s not as exaggerated as you said. A thousand years is long. I am only a hundred years old, and I have much time to find a solution.”

“You are only a hundred years old and have entered the Tribulation Passage, so it is quite significant for you. It has been tens of thousands of years, and no one ever becomes an immortal in the Cultivation World. You are the most likely person to become an immortal in the past thousand years.” Qing Yangzi was upset seeing Zhuo Hua’s frivolous attitude.

…

Having listened a lot of Qing Yangzi’s chatters, Zhuo Hua finally left  Chaos Peak.

He looked up at the sky.

‘A thousand years is enough. In modern society, the average life span of human beings is only over seventy years old.’

In his previous life, he had suffered from illness every day, close to death. It had been a great gift for him to live one more day.

To live another thousand years in this world was way beyond his wish.

Moreover, he should have been dead. Now he could live for another one thousand years, and he was quite happy.

‘I may be the first person to be happy for knowing the time for death.’ Zhuo Hua thought optimistically.

When he went back to the Bamboo Peak, it was already dark.

Zhuo Hua happened to meet the disciple who had already delivered the meal.

When Nan Chen saw Zhuo Hua coming back, he lowered his head and said respectfully, “Master.”

“Mm-hmm,” Zhuo Hua replied, went to the table and sat down. “Let’s dig in.”
