Longevity: Starting with Only One Life, Cultivation Depends Entirely on Survival - Chapter 434
c434 Yu Kui
“The little brother in front, why are you laughing all the time?”
Just as Jiang Mu stepped into the mountain gate, an old man in commoner clothes appeared behind him.
His hair is gray and he looks a bit old.
“Because I am stable, I have entered samadhi in this chaotic world.”
Jiang Mu replied with a smile.
“Little brother, you are so young. Is this your first time to participate in the disciple assessment?”
The old man in cloth clothes looked Jiang Mu up and down. Seeing that he was wearing linen clothes and looking even shabbier than himself, he couldn’t help but said with concern: “The examination for the disciples who have troubled the mortal world is not easy. Brother, I have spent decades and still can’t get in.”
“Have you seen this endless sea of flowers? It’s really difficult to find a special kind of flower here to qualify for the examination of outer disciples!”
The old man shook his head and sighed.
“These flowers should depend on qualifications. The higher the qualifications, the more you can find.”
Jiang Mu replied.
“Hey, it seems that little brother did enough homework before coming here. He even knows this.”
When the old man heard this, he replied with a smile: “Look at the appearance of this little brother, he should come from a small place like me. How about we go together?”
“This Qingluan Hongchen is the number one sect in the world of mortals. Every year, countless monks come here to see it. In this huge sea of flowers, it is extremely lonely without companions.”
The old man said with some melancholy.
“That’s it, thank you very much, brother.”
Jiang Mu cupped his hands and replied.
“Nowhere, it’s just boring.”
“I’m not afraid of my little brother’s jokes. I have been studying for more than seventy years. When I was a young boy, I have not been able to do it now at my old age. Most of the monks who were with me have given up, and now I am the only one left.”
The old man shook his head and smiled, as if he was mocking himself.
“That man’s perseverance is not comparable to that of ordinary people. Such perseverance is admirable.”
Jiang Mu praised.
“Oh, I have accomplished nothing, how dare I return to my hometown? It is better to die on the road to seek immortality, and avoid being looked down upon and gossiping about when I return to my hometown.”
The old man sighed and walked slowly among the flowers with Jiang Mu, chatting and looking for flowers.
During the conversation with the old man, Jiang Mu learned that his name was Yu Kui. He was now over ninety years old, and his cultivation was still in the early stages of foundation building.
He left home when he was young and came to the Central Continent to study, hoping to prove himself in the world of chaos.
In Yu Kui’s hometown, he also came from a big family with many children. However, because his mother was a servant and his own cultivation talent was poor, he was bullied by his family members since he was a child, so he ran away from home in anger.
“I am afraid that my little brothers will laugh at me when I say this. I am indeed an unfilial person. I have not been back to visit my mother for many years. I don’t know if she is still well.”
“But if you don’t achieve something, what’s the use of going back? She’ll be a little tired without me.”
Speaking of the depth of love, Yu Kui couldn’t help but reveal her true feelings.
“Brother, don’t be too sad. I believe my mother will live a long life.”
“Besides, I am still ambitious and have great ambitions. Who said that I can’t achieve anything anymore when I reach your age?”
Jiang Mu comforted.
“Little brother, you are such a kind person. No wonder I admired you the first time I saw you. I always felt that you would definitely join the world of chaos.”
Facing Jiang Mu’s comfort, Yu Kui said this.
“Haha, let me borrow my brother’s good words.”
“By the way, little brother, what’s your name?”
“My name is Jiang Mu.”
“Jiang Mu, it is indeed a good name.”
Yu Kui nodded, feeling familiar in her heart.
He always felt that he had heard the name Jiang Mu somewhere, but he couldn’t remember it at the moment.
As the two continued walking forward, many monks walked towards the center of the sea of flowers.
Several monks wearing begonia-colored robes descended there, recruiting outer disciples.
“Brother Jiang, let’s go over and see how many people can become outer disciples this time.”
Yu Kui also looked over there and said with envy.
“Okay, it just so happens that I haven’t seen it either.”
The two of them squeezed to the front with the crowd. At this time, there were five disciples of Qiluan Hongchen who were conducting inspections. The qualified monks stood aside and would be taken to a higher level for assessment.
At this time, many monks have passed the exam, and their faces are full of excitement.
But most of them were full of disappointment and envy.
Jiang Mu looked at the reception disciples who were attending Qingluan Hongchen. He looked like they were elders from the outer sect, and their cultivation level was not very high.
But fortunately, when facing these monks, they were friendly and did not bully them.
“It seems that Kun Li manages the sect very well.”
Jiang Mu was very pleased.
Along the way, he heard many stories about Qing Luan Hongchen, and he also had a good understanding of Kun Li, the steady emperor.
Jiang Mu still wanted to pretend to be a pig and eat the tiger, but now it seems that it is unnecessary.
Just play your cards right.
So, Jiang Mu pulled Yu Kui through the crowd and came straight to these outer sect elders.
“Hey, these two fellow Taoists, are you also here to examine the outer disciples? If so, please wait in line behind you.”
One of the outer sect elders looked at Jiang Mu and the two and warned them.
“Brother Jiang, what are you doing? We don’t have flowers, so we can’t get in.”
Yu Kui also persuaded in a low voice, trying to pull Jiang Mu away, but he found that he couldn’t pull Jiang Mu away at all, and Jiang Mu didn’t move at all.
“Oh, elders, my name is Jiang Mu, I think you should let me in.”
Jiang Mu said calmly.
“Are you Jiang Mu?”
When several elders heard this name, they were instantly alert. They put down what they were doing and quickly came together to look at Jiang Mu up and down.
“This person really looks exactly like the one in the portrait!”
“Could it be that he is really the sect leader?”
“No, maybe it’s just a disguise. We can invite him to the outer sect’s territory first, and then let the inner sect elders make the decision…”
Within a moment, the five monks came to a decision. One of them raised his hand and said, “Senior, please go to the outer door first.”
“I’ll bring a friend, is that okay?”
“No problem, senior, please come again.”
Jiang Mu smiled and was quite cautious before confirming his identity.
This style is a bit like Kun Li.
Moreover, the conversation between several people was not heard by other monks.
An outer sect elder took Jiang Mu and the two of them to the outer sect territory above.
Yu Kui felt that her body was hanging in the air, and she thought she was dreaming.
“Jiang… little brother, do you have anyone in this chaotic world?”
Yu Kui asked stammeringly.
“That’s right. I have friendships with some big shots.”
Jiang Mu replied.
When Yu Kui heard this, she didn’t dare to speak.
What kind of big shot is he, and what kind of friendship do he have?
In Yu Kui’s eyes, these outer sect elders are big shots.
But they still call Jiang Mu their senior.
