Cultivating Immortality Begins with Rejuvenation

Having already harbored doubts about the so-called Immortal Seed, Li Ji'an couldn't help but overthink upon hearing the ominous words.

Moreover, after five years of acquaintance, he had gained some understanding of Ning Sujin, that aloof and reclusive woman.

Proud and arrogant, beneath her cold exterior lay an equally cold heart.

She wouldn't waste a single word on someone she didn't care about.

Within the Immortal Seeking Academy, she never paid attention to anyone except for Little Bitch and him.

If she could remind Little Bitch, she would never speak without purpose.

Her status might allow her to access secrets that ordinary people couldn't possibly know.

Ning Yutan pursed her lips, her face turned up to the sky: "Hmph, she's just jealous of me, she doesn't want me to become an Immortal Seed, otherwise she'll never be able to beat me."

Li Ji'an admitted that he had lost his mind, actually trying to get information about Ning Sujin from Ning Yutan's mouth.

He shook his head and said nothing more, following Ning Yutan to the Marquis's mansion.

"Brother Li, what's wrong? Why do you want to see her? Let me tell you, in this Marquis's mansion, my words carry the most weight now."

After paying respects to Duke Dingguo, Li Ji'an tried to see Ning Sujin, unexpectedly, Duke Dingguo agreed without any hesitation, and instead of sending someone to summon Ning Sujin, he had someone take Li Ji'an directly to the backyard of the Marquis's mansion.

This made Li Ji'an perceive some of Duke Dingguo's intentions.

However, Ning Yutan was very unhappy and insisted on following.

"Yutan, you are now a valued Immortal Seed, while she and I are just backups. I want to discuss with her matters concerning the Immortal Palace in the Imperial City."

To get rid of Ning Yutan, he couldn't provoke her competitive spirit at this moment, so Li Ji'an, for the first time, expressed the view that Ning Yutan had surpassed Ning Sujin while stating a fact.

The corners of Ning Yutan's mouth instantly curved up involuntarily, and then she hurriedly comforted him: "Brother Li, don't compare yourself to her. She's so much older than you, her potential is not as good as yours. You will definitely become an Immortal Seed next time, and we will definitely meet again in the Immortal Realm."

Then, she ecstatically imagined: "Or, after I go to the Immortal Realm and become an immortal, I will often come back to see you, and then I will pass on immortal techniques to you, allowing you to skip the Immortal Seed step."

"Daring to step into my courtyard, are you itching for a beating again?" At this moment, a cold voice that made Ning Yutan shiver unconsciously sounded.

"I..." Ning Yutan instantly came back to her senses and quickly looked down at her feet.

"Hmph, which eye saw me step into your courtyard? This foot of mine hasn't even stepped down yet!" With one foot suspended in the air, Ning Yutan gained confidence.

Ning Sujin, dressed in a cyan-colored outfit, walked closer step by step with a cold face.

Ning Yutan decisively retracted her suspended foot and took two steps back very obediently.

It wasn't until Ning Sujin stopped at the courtyard entrance that Ning Yutan suddenly realized.

"Hmph! I am now an Immortal Seed, a meritorious person of the Marquis's mansion, it was me who allowed my father to be promoted to Duke, allowing our entire mansion to reside in the Imperial City... Do you still dare to hit me?"

"Pa~" The familiar sound of a slap echoed in the next moment.

"Good words are hard to persuade a damned ghost, you fool, get lost!"

"Ah! You actually dare to hit me, I... Hmph, I'll get lost then." Facing Ning Sujin's cold eyes, Ning Yutan finally left a harsh word with great backbone and ran away.

Li Ji'an stood quietly aside, his eyes looking at his nose, and his nose looking at his heart, completely ignoring the two sisters'闹闹.

"What do you want from me?" After Ning Yutan's figure disappeared from sight, Ning Sujin's tone softened a lot.

"I'm going to the Imperial City tomorrow, and I know nothing about it. I want to chat with you to ease the unease in my heart," Li Ji'an replied with a smile.

"You, even you have times when you're uneasy?" Ning Sujin rarely revealed a hint of a smile.

In these five years, Li Ji'an's subconscious reactions and expressions had been so calm and composed, with a maturity and steadiness that didn't match his age.

Then she nodded, waved her hand, and gestured for Li Ji'an to enter the courtyard.

Arriving at the pavilion in the courtyard, there were no maids to serve tea, instead, Ning Sujin personally took the copper pot from the stove in the pavilion and poured a cup of tea for Li Ji'an.

"I don't know much about the Imperial City either, I only went there once when I was ten years old."

"Will immortals personally come to the Imperial City?"

"They will!" Ning Sujin said firmly.

"Have you seen an immortal?" Li Ji'an couldn't hide the excitement in his heart.

"I've seen ethereal traces from afar, not like visitors from the mortal world." Without the excitement of ordinary people seeing immortals that Li Ji'an had imagined, Ning Sujin frowned slightly instead.

Li Ji'an looked straight into her eyes, and he almost no longer doubted the existence of immortals in this world.

For no other reason than that Ning Sujin, such a woman, would not easily say something unless she was sure of it, and moreover, she came from the Su family, a family of grandmasters, and grew up in the Su family before the age of ten, and then in the Marquis's mansion, her knowledge and vision were not ordinary.

After pondering for a moment, Li Ji'an decided not to hide anything from someone like Ning Sujin and simply be open and honest.

"Are we in danger going to the Imperial City?"

Ning Sujin raised her eyes and glanced at Li Ji'an: "Did that fool tell you?"

Li Ji'an nodded.

"You came to me because of that fool's words? Do you trust me?"

"You are not a frivolous person, I believe that what you say must be purposeful."

"Heh~" Ning Sujin let out a soft laugh subconsciously.

From childhood to adulthood, no one believed her, even the Su family where she had lived since birth, even her loving grandparents, uncles and brothers, and even in the end, because of her cousin Su Fan's matter ten years ago, they could no longer tolerate her and sent her back to the Marquis's mansion.

From then on, she almost never spoke easily.

This time, she couldn't suppress the throbbing of her bloodline towards Ning Yutan, and once again issued a warning, but was still misunderstood.

"We are not in danger!" Ning Sujin took a deep breath, stared into Li Ji'an's eyes, and said very firmly.

"Only the Third Miss is in danger?" Li Ji'an frowned.

"Great misfortune!"

"This... just because she is an Immortal Seed?" Li Ji'an's heart skipped a beat.

Ning Sujin shook her head: "I don't know the reason, nor do I have any basis."

"I'm just going by feeling."

"Feeling?" Li Ji'an raised his eyebrows slightly, originally thinking that she knew some secret or some connection, but he didn't expect it to be metaphysics.

If it were someone else, or if he didn't understand Ning Sujin, he might be like other people.

Of course, it was also because he himself was a transmigrator and had a golden finger, so he had a higher acceptance of this kind of mysterious thing.

"When I was three years old, I first felt that my mother would encounter misfortune, and a few days later, she died tragically on the way to the Marquis's mansion.

When I was five years old, I felt that my grandmother would be in danger, and half a month later, she failed to break through to the second realm of Qi and Blood, her Qi and Blood reversed, and she died in a dark room.

When I was eight years old, my uncle died in a martial arts competition with another Qi and Blood Grandmaster family... Every time I cried loudly, but no one believed me.

Finally, when I was ten years old, my brother, who I depended on for life, was honored as an Immortal Seed, and I predicted a great disaster again, I hugged my brother and begged him not to go, but in the end, not only did I fail to stop him, but I was also completely disgusted by the Su family, and I was not allowed to be a jinx anymore..."

"..." Listening to Ning Sujin calmly recounting the past, Li Ji'an instantly held his breath.

"You can avoid bad luck and attract good fortune?"
