Chapter 003: Men, Women, and Transgender Individuals

Xia Qianqian quickly changed her clothes and casually asked, "Master, there's really nothing wrong with liking men. I, your disciple, have an open mind and will respect your preferences, and I will keep this secret absolutely without revealing it to any third party"

In an instant, a strong light suddenly flashed through her mind, as if something had flown out from her head and entered the jade tablet. She instinctively gasped in surprise, and the changes in the jade tablet abruptly ceased.

Xia Qianqian just complained in her heart and suddenly shouted at the top of her lungs: "Master, you aren't treating me like a meat bun, are you!"

Hmm. Xia Qianqian rubbed her head and sat up from the wine gourd.

"What is there to be afraid of? Master, I do not like women." The man smacked his lips, but still turned his head away and continued to drink.

When she woke up again, Xuanyuan Shilan was still lazily half-leaning on the wine gourd, drifting aimlessly in the sky, holding a small wine gourd and pouring wine.

As soon as the wine gourd flew several miles away, the man handed Xia Qianqian a set of clothes, saying: "Child, put this on; the clothes from your world are too conspicuous"

Xia Qianqian opened her eyes in confusion and took the jade slip down from her forehead, asking, "Master, what is this?"

"Master, you have yet to tell your disciple your name!" After a moment of silence, Xia Qianqian suddenly took the initiative to break the tranquility.

"What is divine consciousness?" Xia Qianqian did not understand what her master meant by divine consciousness. Is it something like thought or intention?

"Hey, continue." The sudden voice startled Xia Qianqian for a moment, and immediately after, she saw an object flying rapidly towards her. She instinctively reached out her hand to catch it

Xia Qianqian attempted once more, and this time she succeeded directly. A stream of characters flew out from the jade slip, overwhelming her as she guided them into her mind with her divine sense

Xia Qianqian feigned innocence: "Master is so powerful, if I encounter danger, can't I just call out Master’s name to scare them away?"

A faint sadness flashed in her bright eyes: "Living is good, but living too long can be exhausting. The thought of never being able to die is truly terrifying. I do not have a tendency towards self-harm, so can we come to an agreement and not pursue immortality?"

Is the Rejuvenation Pill a potion for eternal youth? Master is indeed a narcissist

Xia Qianqian suddenly realized and said: "Oh. So Master is an enlightened person! Should I also pursue the Dao, but I don't want to become a Daoist nun..."

You indeed lack a spiritual root, but does lacking a spiritual root mean one cannot cultivate immortality? There are multiple paths to immortality; it is merely that people in the world mistakenly believe there is only one path!" Xuan Yuan Shilan calmly articulated this astonishing statement

"Indeed, your mental energy is rather scattered, making it difficult for you to accomplish anything." Xuanyuan Shilan's eyes flickered as he suddenly rubbed Xia Qianqian's head vigorously, "Let me help you sort out this disordered mental energy, and the rest will depend on you."

In an instant, Xia Qianqian understood these characters she had never seen before: three-headed fox wolves with a hundred tails, blazing rock double claws with a hundred pairs, and heavenly flame whale whiskers with a hundred roots. Golden wind evil rabbits with ten pairs of emerald eyes, soaring sun black lions with fifteen lion armors, and ten stalks of grinding grass. Horned cloud beetles captured alive, five hundred in total, half a pound of rock iron sand, and one tael of shadowy silver.

The formula for the Youth Preserving Pill, next you need to help me gather all these materials

Xia Qianqian noticed that the man was silent, and she smiled mischievously behind his back. After all, her master always called her "little girl" and poked at her sore spots; she was not a child anymore, she was already seventeen

Ah? Just as Xia Qianqian was about to ask something, she suddenly felt a heat in her head, and then she knew nothing at all

She suddenly felt a coolness in her head, and her entire being seemed to become refreshed along with it. This refreshing sensation caused her to instinctively close her eyes, and gradually, it felt as if she entered a state of complete oblivion, forgetting everything around her and becoming entirely immersed in this cool feeling

It is merely due to long-term malnutrition that the physique appears small, resembling that of a thirteen or fourteen-year-old

At this point, the man fell silent in defeat; he had intended to find a cute creature to bully for fun, but instead, he was teased by his apprentice.

Oh. Xia Qianqian picked up the jade slip and curiously placed it on her forehead

In the world of Qian and Qianchong, it is a realm of the strong where the weak are preyed upon by the strong, and an ordinary person cannot possibly survive in this world. Even in the pursuit of immortality, without the ability to establish a foundation or form a golden core, one will ultimately be eliminated. Xuanyuan Shilan reached out to tousle her hair

Xia Qianqian suddenly sighed and said, "Master, must we really cultivate?"

There are countless people who wish for his death, and if my disciple were to reveal his name—heh heh—surely, interesting events would ensue

The man's face is somewhat distorted: "I do not like men either"

"Does Master prefer those who are neither male nor female, the half-male, half-female transgender individuals?" Xia Qianqian exclaimed in surprise, "Master, I admire you. I never expected your thoughts to be so avant-garde, so explosive!"

I am not a Taoist either!" The man suddenly reached out and pinched Xia Qianqian's cheek, "What kind of nonsense do you have in that head of yours? Master, I just don't like men, nor do I like women!

The number of people bullied by Qian Yu Qian Chong is truly overwhelming. Those fellows formed an alliance and searched for him like looking for a needle in a haystack for nearly a thousand years, all in order to settle accounts with him, hoping to send him directly to the underworld for a report.

"What, you don't want it? Very few people can resist immortality, and you are one of the rare exceptions." Xuan Yuan Shilan unexpectedly turned to look at her

The cool sensation held in the palm of her hand, Xia Qianqian opened her palm to find an oval jade piece. The translucent material, under the refraction of the moonlight, faintly revealed a strange array of symbols.

What a mistake, what a mistake, can he now change his mind and return the goods

Xia Qianqian smacked her lips, truly feeling powerless to continue the criticism

Those are demon beasts, not dogs, you won't return once you go!" Xuanyuan Shilan leisurely continued to savor the fine wine, "As a disciple of a master, you are already a cultivator, dealing with a demon beast is still quite easy.

Are you awake

It turns out that the master's name is also quite effeminate

After nearly a thousand years of boredom, he finally awaited the arrival of amusement... He only hopes that his little disciple will not disappoint him and will make this game as grand as possible

To boast about his name to intimidate others? That is undoubtedly an act of trying to steal a chicken but ending up losing the rice.

Oh. Xia Qianqian took it over; it was a set of white blouse and skirt, along with a pair of moon-white boots

Just as she was about to change, she noticed the man staring at her and immediately said in anger: "Master, turn your head away!"

What are you doing?" The man's eyelids flickered.

Then let's give it a try and read the contents of the jade tablet

Xuanyuan Shilan. Xuanyuan Shilan closed her eyes again, seemingly in a state of meditation, yet her heart was filled with joy.

Xia Qianqian suddenly remembered that she had no spiritual root and asked, "Master, do I really have no spiritual root?"

This is a jade tablet; you should place it on your forehead and use your spiritual sense to read the contents within. After Xuanyuan Shilan finished speaking, he unexpectedly took out a bottle of wine from somewhere and began to savor it sip by sip
