Eldest Sister Gives Up Cultivating - Chapter 17

Chapter 17: The Faceless Moon

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The light of a fire could be faintly seen.

Bai Lian, who had stopped by the stream, sensed that someone was approaching.

Her expression was still calm, and even calmer than before. This was because this place was only two miles away from Qiong Ming Peak. Even if someone wanted to harm her, it was impossible for them to choose such a conspicuous place.

A few seconds later, a few familiar figures gently landed in front of Bai Lian.

Bai Lianhuai carried the hungry little rabbit and bowed to those people.

“Elder Gao!”

The person in the lead was the elder of the Cultivation Pavilion, Gao Yi, whom she had seen during the day.

Gao Yi nodded slightly. “Where did you go just now?”

Just as he finished speaking, Bai Lian was immediately amused.

As expected of someone praised by his second junior sister as a “honorable elder”. Gao Yi immediately gave Bai Lian new attribute points.

[Mission 1: Lie and say you went for a walk (Mission Reward: Foundation Establishment Pill)]

[Mission 2: Add fuel to the fire, hinting that there will always be troublemakers who want to harm you! (Mission Reward: Low-grade Dharma artifact, Bone attached nail)]

[Mission 3: Only talk about what happened (Mission Reward: Medical skills+2)]

Bai Lian wasn’t stupid. She knew that Gao Yi was also a smart person. It was best not to say too much to smart people. If she said too much, she might leave a bad impression on the other party.

At this moment, as long as she briefly explained her encounter, Gao Yi could quickly deduce that someone in the Immortal Du Sect had secretly colluded with demon beasts to try to harm her.

Bai Lian nodded secretly.

This system was very evil, but if it suddenly disappeared, she might have died long ago.

Who would have thought that an extremely cute rabbit that ran away when it saw her actually had the strength to instantly kill a Golden Core realm demon beast?

Without the mission “reminder” issued by the system, she would have immediately punched the little rabbit.

In a fit of anger, the little rabbit would use that terrifying spell. Bai Lian probably didn’t even have the chance to spiral into the sky. She would be shattered while still on the ground.

“This is what happened…”

Bai Lian roughly described her experience just now. She only omitted her own thoughts.

[Mission completed. Mission reward: Medicine skill+2]

The disciples following behind Gao Yi couldn’t help but discuss softly.

“Why would these tiger demons come to our Immortal Du Sect?”

“Don’t they care about their lives?”

“If it were me, I definitely wouldn’t let go of this rabbit that stole food in the herb garden so easily! Sigh, this is the difference between me and Senior Sister Bai, right?”

“Senior Sister Bai, a real female Bodhisattva!”

“Idiot, what female Bodhisattva? This is clearly the magnanimity of a saint!”

The person who spoke even used his hand to gesture how big Bai Lian’s “heart” was.

“Elder Gao, there’s definitely something wrong!”

Gao Yi smiled noncommittally.

Then, he asked for a few more details and even stared at the dizzy little rabbit for a long time before letting Bai Lian leave.

There was no impatience on Bai Lian’s face.

Elder Gao was really too generous. In just a quarter of an hour, he had given her 3 points of chess skills, 2 points of focus, 1 point of culinary skill, and 1 point of lightness skill!

Even if Bai Lian wanted to be annoyed, she couldn’t. She wished Gao Yi could question her more.

This was probably the difference between a Duracell battery and an ordinary battery. One Duracell battery was stronger than six!

“Even my master doesn’t dote on me like this.”

Bai Lian thought.

Under the night sky, she floated away under the admiring gazes.

“Let’s go.” Gao Yi waved his hand. “Let’s go take a look at the scene.”

The few disciples immediately followed, but their thoughts had long drifted away. They couldn’t wait to immediately tell their good friends about tonight’s experience.

They would name this incident “Senior Sister Bai’s justice for the stupid rabbit demon”!

…

In the herb garden…

Bai Lian pulled out a few spiritual plants that weren’t very old and stuffed them into the little rabbit’s mouth. After two squishes, the little rabbit revived with full health.

“After all, I’m not a demon.” Bai Lian placed the little rabbit on the ground. “You can eat as much as you want today.”

“Ji ji?”

The little rabbit’s eyes immediately lit up like emeralds.

What a foodie.

Heh!

Bai Lian rolled her eyes at it and reminded it, “But you better take it easy. Although I planted all the spiritual plants in this medicinal garden, it’s still Qiong Ming Peak’s private property after all. If you make the medicinal garden too messy and make my master unhappy, you’ll have to pray for yourself.”

The evil woman’s fierce appearance flashed across the little rabbit’s mind.

It was scared.

It quickly shook its head. “Ji ji!”

“It’s good that you’ve understood.” Bai Lian nodded in satisfaction. “Eat slowly. I’m going to cultivate.”

The little rabbit that had obtained Bai Lian’s promise pounced into the medicinal garden. Now that it wasn’t in danger, its butt became even more unrestrained.

Its ears were also as white as jade.

“Then I’ll call you Jade Rabbit.”

After satisfying her desire to name others, Bai Lian came to the forbidden array of Qiong Ming Peak.

Now, she had two medicinal pills rewarded by the mission. They were the Connate Energy Condensing Pill and the Profound Truth Pill.

The latter was used to assist in breaking through to the Golden Core realm, and she had no use for it for the time being. However, the former was a good thing. Not only could it increase cultivation, but it could also cleanse the body.

Bai Lian estimated that she could break through to the peak of the Foundation Establishment realm after consuming a Connate Condensation Pill. When she broke through, it would inevitably cause some commotion. If the big shots in the sect accidentally saw this, her disguise would be torn apart.

But if it was in the forbidden array of Qiong Ming Peak, she wouldn’t have to worry about this happening.

The so-called forbidden array was actually a cave surrounded by dozens of restrictions and arrays by An Lan. Even the divine sense of Sect Master Jue Yunzi couldn’t break through the barrier set up by An Lan.

In An Lan’s words, “Women always need some privacy!”

As An Lan was not on Qiong Ming Peak all year round, this cave was occupied by Bai Lian.

“Hu ~”

It was indeed Impressive.

Bai Lian’s right hand gently brushed the smooth stalagmites in the karst cave. After entering, she saw a pool, a stone platform, a stone wall, a wooden bed, and a soft cushion.

Everything here could trigger her distant memories, making her blood boil.

This was the place where Senior Sister Bai in the game used eighteen martial arts techniques to “fight”. It was also where Senior Sister Bai obtained her glory by “riding” the women with the aura of protagonists in the game!

Bai Lian sat down on the wooden bed.

Her index finger gently touched the bed board, and a girl tied to the bed involuntarily appeared in front of her eyes.

That was Third Junior Sister.

Speaking of which, Third Junior Sister should have already been reborn.

Bai Lian had no intention of taking the initiative to bring her back. She couldn’t wait for her third junior sister not to find trouble with her.

Before her rebirth, Third Junior Sister had never joined the Immortal Du Sect, but she had heard many rumors related to the scheming Senior Sister Bai in the game.

This guy was very vigilant. If she came to the Immortal Du Sect, who knew how much trouble she would cause.

Bai Lian shook her head to disperse the strange scene. She took out the Connate Condensation Pill from the system’s temporary storage space.

She opened the bottle and swallowed it in one go.

Sensing the medicinal power spreading in her body, Bai Lian immediately focused and circulated her cultivation technique.

…

Night fell.

The moonlight was clear.

On Zhu Yan Peak, under the strange blood-colored tree…

At the head of the table, Fairy Yan Yue stroked the precious seven-string zither embedded with blood stones in front of her in frustration.

With a light flick of his finger, the melodious zither sound suddenly became violent, mixed with an indescribable sharpness.

The disciple accompanying her became nervous.

Although their master looked like a fairy and was elegant, once she lost her temper, she would be like a wild bull that had gone crazy from killing. They wouldn’t be able to stop her.

And the precursor to Fairy Yan Yue’s anger was “playing the zither crazily”!

Sigh.

He wondered which unlucky person was going to be reprimanded today.

The accompanying disciple looked at someone flying over from afar. It turned out to be a senior sister who had long been allowed to leave the mountain at will.

The senior sister stood in front of Yan Yue, and the murderous zither music stopped.

Yan Yue’s red lips opened slightly and she said, “How is it?”

“Master.” The senior sister shook her head. “Junior Sister Wenren is still the same. She sits under the Tree of Reflection alone, doesn’t eat, doesn’t drink, doesn’t say anything, and doesn’t answer other people’s questions.”

She was simply like an ice sculpture. It made one’s heart ache!

“Bastard!”

Yan Yue raised the seven-string zither in front of her in anger and suddenly slammed it on her stomach to shatter the zither.

It was about to happen!

The disciple in charge of accessories held her breath, which meant that her master’s anger had already risen to the second gear.

It was only because that seven-string zither had a self-healing function that Zhu Yan Peak spent a lot of spirit stones to buy it every year.

Yan Yue asked, “Have you investigated?”

That senior sister nodded. “Recently, the only one who has a conflict with Junior Sister Wenren is Senior Sister Bai Lian of Qiong Ming Peak.”

“It’s her?”

Yan Yue was stunned.

Bai Lian, An Lan’s disciple?

An Lan.

Yan Yue was angry at the mention of this name. She punched the strange blood-colored tree behind her in anger.

He hit the strange tree until it begged for mercy. “Aiyo, damn!”

Her anger had now risen to the third gear.

The attendant disciple thought to himself.

That tree was not an ordinary tree. It was planted by Yan Yue when she was young. It had accompanied Yan Yue through hundreds of years of storms. The two of them were best friends.

“Senior Sister Bai? Damn Senior Sister!” Yan Yue cursed. “You’re not allowed to call her Senior Sister in the future, understand?”

That senior sister said trembling, “I, I understand, Master.”

Yan Yue snorted.

Wenren Yale was one of her favorite disciples. On the one hand, it was because Wenren Yale was extremely talented, and on the other hand, it was because Wenren Yale’s name also had the word “Yue”.

“How dare you bully my disciple? You’re really bold!” Yan Yue gritted her teeth and walked forward. “If I don’t do anything after my disciple was bullied, how can I continue to be a master?!”

After walking a few feet away, she suddenly turned around and asked, “By the way, did An Lan leave Qiong Ming Peak a few days ago?”

“Yes, there’s a record of that at the mountain gate.”

“That’s good!”

A strange smile appeared on Yan Yue’s face. Without An Lan around, it was time for her to show off!

“You guys wait here. I’ll help your junior sister vent her anger.”

Yan Yue’s footsteps seemed to have become much lighter.

That senior sister and the accompanying disciple looked at each other. Their master had forgotten again.

Senior Sister Bai was going to be unlucky, but when Chief An Lan of Qiong Ming Peak returned, their master might be beaten up badly.

“Should we quickly inform the sect master?”

“That’s not good. If Master finds out, he’ll definitely punish us ruthlessly.”

“Patriarch Blood Tree, what should we do?”

“…”

The blood tree was very angry after being beaten up. The blood tree didn’t want to talk.

The senior sister sighed. “I just hope Master can be gentler.”
