After Su Yun Lan left, two Great Change Sect Elders invited Xu Que to Great Change Sect as a guest. It seemed like they wanted to befriend him.
It was hard for Xu Que to reject their hospitality. Hence, he followed them to Wind City.
Along the way, Xu Que found out that Wind City was quite far away from Celestial Sect. Even if he were to fly on his sword, it would take at least two to three days.
However, because Celestial Sect was a big sect, the news of it being destroyed spread like wildfire. Xu Que's reputation was built on the backs of Celestial Sect and Fallen Spirits Sect.
Furthermore, from the few Great Change Sect disciples, Xu Que found out that Celestial Sect had completely fallen and was no longer as powerful as before.
The Sect Leader, Zhang Dan Shan, had been searching for Xu Que for half a month without any results. It was said that he had developed inner demons and hurriedly went into secluded meditation. Hence, before the Sect could recover its strength, it had lost an Infant Transformation Stage cultivator.
On top of that, the news of Elder Sun joining hands with the Fallen Spirits Sect to massacre the entire village spread. Celestial Sect was subjected to all sorts of insults from the righteous sects. In the end, even the few Original Infant Stage Elders couldn't withstand the pressure and left. Only a few elite disciples were left to hang on.
However, immortal cultivation was not only dependent on one's innate talent. Treasures of heaven and earth and miraculous pills were also extremely important. Without the Original Infant Stage Elders to concoct pills for them, the Celestial Sect's resources could not keep up with the consumption of the Sect's disciples. They were unable to pay their salaries and many of them eventually left. Some of the more talented ones were poached by other sects.
After all, time was extremely precious to them. If they were to waste their time in Celestial Sect, no matter how talented they were, they would eventually become useless.
Hence, within a few days, Celestial Sect had lost a large number of disciples. As long as Zhang Dan Shan didn't come out of seclusion, there was no hope for Celestial Sect.
However, Infant Transformation Stage cultivators could go into seclusion for at least a few years. At most, they could go up to a hundred years.
…
As they walked, Xu Que followed the few of them to Great Change Sect.
Great Change Sect was actually a big sect a hundred years ago. It wasn't any weaker than the Celestial Sect at its peak. However, ever since Su Yun Lan's grandfather, the first Sect Leader of Great Change Sect, went missing, the sect gradually declined.
Su Yun Lan relied on her astonishing innate talent and the countless resources she received from the sect. In a short span of twenty years, she had reached the Original Infant Stage and took over the position of the Sect Leader!
Her parents had died in a war a few years ago. The entire Great Change Sect depended on her and two other Sect Elders to support it. Life wasn't easy for her.
This was something that Xu Que had noticed the moment he stepped into the sect.
Many of the houses were dilapidated and had not been repaired for many years. Some of the courtyards were piled with fallen leaves and covered in spider webs, as if they had been abandoned for many years!
There were only about twenty disciples in the entire sect. The highest level was the six Golden Core disciples he met in the Withered Bones Forest. The rest were mostly at the Foundation Establishment and Core Bearing stages.
Xu Que came as a guest and used the name "Xiao Yan" to stay in one of the lofts in the inner courtyard. The two Sect Elders and the six disciples didn't reveal his true identity to the sect.
This was something that Xu Que had requested. With his current reputation, if anyone were to find out that he was in Great Change Sect, it would bring disaster to Great Change Sect!
After all, he was only staying here temporarily. After resting for two days, he would continue to hunt for demonic beasts in the Withered Bones Forest.
Now that he was already at the Golden Core Stage level 9, he only needed 1.2 million experience points to level up. Hence, he had to kill six Original Infant Stage demonic beasts to advance to the Full Foundation Stage of the Golden Core Stage. When that happens, he would be able to find a way to revive Xiao Rou.
On the first night of his stay, everything was quiet.
Xu Que was half lying on his bed, looking at the beautiful moon outside the window, deep in thought.
Actually, he was bored out of his mind and couldn't fall asleep. He was thinking if he should go out and catch a few birds to roast for supper.
Just as he was deep in thought, a faint fragrance drifted over to him along with the wind.
Xu Que calmed himself down. He didn't know when, but a beautiful shadow was standing outside his window, smiling at him.
If it was any other ordinary person who did this, Xu Que would definitely start scolding him. Was this person trying to scare people to death in the middle of the night?
But when he looked at her, Xu Que couldn't bring himself to scold her.
This was because that person was the beautiful Sect Leader of Great Change Sect, Su Yun Lan!
Her temperament and looks were all there. She was like a fairy who didn't belong to the mortal world. She couldn't even pretend to be a ghost to scare people!
"Eh, Sect Leader Su, you're not asleep yet?"
Xu Que immediately sat up and smiled at Su Yun Lan who was standing outside.
At the same time, he was surprised. This beautiful Sect Leader isn't sleeping in the middle of the night. Why is she here?
Could it be that she's here to cure her illness?
Thinking about how he had teased this beautiful Sect Leader earlier in the Withered Bones Forest, Xu Que couldn't help but feel amused.
Su Yun Lan smiled back at him. Her eyes were bright and her teeth were white. There wasn't a single trace of embarrassment or anger on her face. Instead, she looked natural and unrestrained, as though she had forgotten everything that happened today.
"Xu Daoyou must be joking. Since we've cultivated to such a high level, why would we talk about sleep?" She said softly.
Xu Que paused for a moment before regaining his senses.
It was just like in the novels he had read in his previous life, cultivators rarely needed to sleep. Usually, meditating was equivalent to resting.
It was just that his method of leveling up was different from others. He only relied on experience points to level up.
"Sect Leader Su, do you have any business with me? Why don't you come in and have a cup of tea? "
Xu Que saw her standing outside the room and hesitating. He couldn't help but laugh.
Su Yun Lan waved her hand, "It's alright. I just want to have a chat with Xu Daoyou. This is fine!"
Xu Que's mouth twitched. What do you mean by this is fine? I'm just asking you to come in and have a seat. Do you think I'm going to eat you up?
But when he thought about it, it was understandable.
After all, she was a Sect Leader and a virgin. For her to come into his room in the middle of the night was somewhat inappropriate.
Eh, that's not right. It's weird for her to come and chat with me in the middle of the night!
Thinking about this, Xu Que shook his head speechlessly.
Su Yun Lan didn't notice his expression. She turned around and looked up at the night sky. She then asked softly, "Xu Daoyou, what are your plans from now on?"
Xu Que paused once again and asked suspiciously, "From now on? From now on, I should continue to travel the world, save the world and flirt with girls! "
Of course, the prerequisite was that he had to revive Xiao Rou first!
"Xu Daoyou, haven't you thought about settling down? For example, finding a sect to settle down in and leading the disciples to train. That way, you won't have to spend your days in killing and hatred! "Su Yun Lan said softly.
Xu Que's eyebrows twitched as he came to a realization.
So this beautiful Sect Leader had been beating around the bush for so long just to entice me!
He couldn't help but smile and asked, "Sect Leader Su, are you inviting me to join Great Change Sect?"
Su Yun Lan paused for a moment before turning around. She smiled and nodded her head.
"That's right. The reason why I'm here is to invite Xu Daoyou to join Great Change Sect and take up the position of Great Elder. I wonder if Xu Daoyou is willing?"
